Delaware General Corporation Law Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Section 145(b) of the DGCL states that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that to the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or II-2 4 proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Section 145(d) of the DGCL states that any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b). Such determination shall be made (1) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority note of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders. Section 145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate. Section 145(f) of the DGCL states that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Section 145. Section 145(j) of the DGCL states that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Certificate of Incorporation The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that no director shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in the II-3 5 instance of (i) the breach of the duty of loyalty, (ii) intentional acts or knowing misconduct, (iii) violations of Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for receiving an improper benefit. By-laws Article VII of the By-laws authorizes the Company to indemnify any director, officer or employee entitled to indemnity under law, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Indemnity Agreements The Company is party to indemnity agreements with all of its officers and directors. The agreement provides, among other things, that the Company shall indemnify an officer or director when he is a party or threatened to be a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company. The Company shall indemnify such director or officer against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action or proceeding. In any event, no indemnification shall be made if the officer or director is adjudged liable to the Company. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not applicable. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.

- ----------------- *Filed herewith ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the II-5 7 securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (5) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-6 8 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Washington, District of Columbia, on October 17, 1997.

- ------------------ *Filed herewith EX-4.2 2 FORM OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (EMPLOYEES) 1 Exhibit 4.2 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (Employee) This Incentive Stock Option Agreement ("Option Agreement") is between Century Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and ________________________ (the "Optionee"). W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore adopted the Century Bancshares, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") for the purpose of providing employees of the Company or Century National Bank (the "Bank") (as defined in the Plan) with additional incentive to promote the success of the business, to increase their proprietary interest in the success of the Company, and to encourage them to remain in the employ of the Company or the Bank; and WHEREAS, the Company, acting through the Compensation Committee designed by the Board of Directors (the "Committee"), has determined that its interests will be advanced by the issuance to Optionee of incentive stock options under the Plan: NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of these premises it is agreed as follows: 1. Options. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Company hereby irrevocably grants to Optionee the right and option ("Options") to purchase from the Company _____ shares of the Company's common stock, $1.00 par value ("Common Stock"), at a price of $_____ per share, which is deemed to be not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant of the Options. 2. Option Period; Vesting. The Options herein granted may be exercised by Optionee in whole or in part at any time during the period beginning six (6) months after the date hereof, and ending ten (10) years after the date hereof ("Option Period"), subject to the limitation that said Options shall not be exercisable for more than a percentage of the aggregate number of shares offered by this Option Agreement determined by the number of months Optionee is employed with the Company or the Bank from the effective date of this Option Agreement to the date of such exercise, in accordance with the following schedule:
Number of Full Percentage of Months of Employment Shares Purchasable -------------------- ------------------ Less than six months None Six months or more, but less than 18 months 25% 18 months or more, but less than 30 months 50% 30 months or more, but less than 42 months 75% 42 months or more, but less than 120 months 100%
2 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee in its sole discretion may waive the foregoing schedule of vesting and, upon written notice to Optionee, accelerate the earliest date or dates on which the Options granted hereunder are exercisable with respect to any of the shares offered. 3. Procedure for Exercise. The Options herein granted may be exercised by written notice by Optionee to the Secretary of the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Options are to be exercised accompanied by payment for the shares to be purchased, and specifying the address to which the certificate for such shares is to be mailed. Payment shall be in the form of cash or cashier's check, bank draft, postal or express money order payable to the order of the Company, or at the option of Optionee, shares of Common Stock theretofore owned by Optionee (or a combination of cash and Common Stock). As promptly as practicable after receipt of such written notification and payment, the Company shall deliver to Optionee certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Options have been so exercised. 4. Termination of Employment. If Optionee's employment with the Company or the Bank is terminated during the Option Period for any reason other than death or disability, Options granted to him or her hereunder which are not exercisable on such date thereupon terminate. Any Options which are exercisable on the date of his or her termination of employment may be exercised during a three-month period beginning on such date; provided, however, if Optionee's termination of employment is due to Optionee's dishonesty, theft, embezzlement from the Company or the Bank, disclosing trade secrets of the Company or the Bank, willful violation of any rules of the Company or the Bank pertaining to the conduct of individuals performing services for the Company or the Bank, or the commission of a willful felonious act while in the employment of the Company or the Bank, then any option or unexercised portion thereof granted to Optionee, shall expire upon such termination. 5. Disability or Death. In the event of the determination of disability or death of an Optionee under the Plan while he or she is employed by the Company, all Options hereunder exercisable at the date of such disability or death shall be thereafter exercisable by Optionee, the guardian of his or her estate, his or her executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom his or her rights under this Option Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be, for a period of one year from the date of Optionee's disability or death, unless this Option Agreement should earlier terminate in accordance with its other terms. In no event may any Options be exercised after the end of the Option Period. Optionee shall be deemed to be disabled if, in the opinion of a physician selected by the Committee, he or she is incapable of performing services for the Company or the Bank of the kind he or she was performing at the time the disability occurred by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or to be of long, continued and indefinite duration. The date -2- 3 of determination of disability for purposes hereof shall be the date of such determination by such physician. 6. Transferability. Neither the Options granted hereunder nor any rights or benefits of Optionee under this Option Agreement shall be transferable by Optionee otherwise than by the Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of Optionee, the Options shall be exercisable only by him or her. Any heir or legatee of Optionee shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof. No such transfer of this Option Agreement to heirs or legatees of Optionee shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof. 7. No Rights as Stockholder. Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by this Option Agreement until the date of issuance of a certificate for shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Option Agreement. Until such time, Optionee shall not be entitled to dividends or to vote at meetings of the stockholders of the Company. Except as provided in paragraph 9 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash or securities or other property) paid or distributions of other rights granted in respect of any share of Common Stock for which the record date for such payment, distribution or grant is prior to the date upon which Optionee shall have been issued share certificates, as provided hereinabove. 8. Extraordinary Corporate Transactions. If the Company recapitalizes or otherwise changes its capital structure, or merges, consolidates, sells all of its assets or dissolves (each of the foregoing a "Fundamental Change"), then thereafter upon any exercise of Options granted hereunder, Optionee shall be entitled to purchase under such Options, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Options shall then be exercisable, the number and class of shares of stock and securities to which Optionee would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the Fundamental Change if, immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, Optionee had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Options are then exercisable. If the Company shall not be the surviving entity upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Options granted hereunder shall be governed by subparagraph 6(i) of the Plan. 9. Changes in Capital Structure. The existence of outstanding Options shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholder to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of Common Stock or subscription rights thereof, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation -3- 4 of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceedings, whether of a similar character or otherwise. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or recapitalization, the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan or subject to any Options theretofore granted, and the Option prices, shall be appropriately and equitable adjusted so as to maintain the proportionate number of shares without changing the aggregate Option price. 10. Compliance With Securities Laws. Upon the acquisition of any shares pursuant to the exercise of the Options herein granted, Optionee (or any person acting under paragraph 6) will enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Option Agreement. 11. Compliance With Laws. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions hereof, Optionee agrees that he or she will not exercise the Options granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares pursuant to this Option Agreement, if the exercise of the Options or the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would constitute a violation by Optionee or by the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. 12. Resolution of Disputes.

W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore adopted the Century Bancshares, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") for the purpose of providing employees of the Company and Century National Bank (the "Bank") (as defined in the Plan) with additional incentive to promote the success of the business, to increase their proprietary interest in the success of the Company, and to encourage them to remain in the employ or remain as a director of the Company or the Bank; and WHEREAS, the Company, acting through the Compensation Committee designed by the Board of Directors (the "Committee"), has determined that its interests will be advanced by the issuance to Optionee of nonqualified stock options under the Plan: NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of these premises it is agreed as follows: 1. Options. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Company hereby irrevocably grants to Optionee the right and option ("Options") to purchase from the Company _____ shares of the Company's common stock, $1.00 par value ("Common Stock"), at a price of $_____ per share, which is deemed to be not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant of the Options. 2. Option Period; Vesting. The Options herein granted may be exercised by Optionee in whole or in part at any time during the period beginning on the date hereof, and ending ten (10) years after the date hereof ("Option Period"). 3. Procedure for Exercise. The Options herein granted may be exercised by written notice by Optionee to the Secretary of the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Options are to be exercised accompanied by payment for the shares to be purchased, and specifying the address to which the certificate for such shares is to be mailed. Payment shall be in the form of cash or cashier's check, bank draft, postal or express money order payable to the order of the Company, or at the option of Optionee, shares of Common Stock theretofore owned by Optionee (or a combination of cash and Common Stock). As promptly as practicable after receipt of such written notification and payment, the Company shall deliver to Optionee certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Options have been so exercised. 2 4. Termination of Employment. If Optionee's employment with the Company or the Bank is terminated during the Option Period for any reason other than death or disability or if Optionee ceases to serve on the Board of the Company or the Bank during the Option Period for any reason other than death or disability, Options granted to him or her hereunder which are not exercisable on such date thereupon terminate except as hereinafter provided. Any Options which are exercisable on the date of his or her termination of employment or cessation from the Board shall be exercisable during a three-month period beginning on such date; provided, however, if Optionee's termination of employment or cessation from the Board is due to Optionee's dishonesty, theft, embezzlement from the Company or the Bank, disclosing trade secrets of the Company or the Bank, willful violation of any rules of the Company or the Bank pertaining to the conduct of individuals performing services for the Company or the Bank, or the commission of a willful felonious act while in the employment of the Company or the Bank or while serving on the Board, then any option or unexercised portion thereof granted to Optionee, shall expire upon such termination. 5. Disability or Death. In the event of the determination of disability or death of an Optionee under the Plan while he or she is employed by the Company or while he or she serves on the Board, all Options hereunder exercisable at the date of such disability or death shall be thereafter exercisable by Optionee, the guardian of his or her estate, his or her executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom his or her rights under this Option Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be, for a period of one year from the date of Optionee's disability or death, unless this Option Agreement should earlier terminate in accordance with its other terms. In no event may any Options be exercised after the end of the Option Period. Optionee shall be deemed to be disabled if, in the opinion of a physician selected by the Committee, he or she is incapable of performing services for the Company or the Bank of the kind he or she was performing at the time the disability occurred by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or to be of long, continued and indefinite duration. The date of determination of disability for purposes hereof shall be the date of such determination by such physician. 6. Transferability. Neither the Options granted hereunder nor any rights or benefits of Optionee under this Option Agreement shall be transferable by Optionee otherwise than by the Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of Optionee, the Options shall be exercisable only by him or her. Any heir or legatee of Optionee shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof. No such transfer of this Option Agreement to heirs or legatees of Optionee shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof. 7. No Rights as Stockholder. Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by this Option Agreement until the date of issuance of a -2- 3 certificate for shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Option Agreement. Until such time, Optionee shall not be entitled to dividends or to vote at meetings of the stockholders of the Company. Except as provided in paragraph 9 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash or securities or other property) paid or distributions of other rights granted in respect of any share of Common Stock for which the record date for such payment, distribution or grant is prior to the date upon which Optionee shall have been issued share certificates, as provided hereinabove. 8. Extraordinary Corporate Transactions. If the Company recapitalizes or otherwise changes its capital structure, or merges, consolidates, sells all of its assets or dissolves (each of the foregoing a "Fundamental Change"), then thereafter upon any exercise of Options granted hereunder, Optionee shall be entitled to purchase under such Options, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Options shall then be exercisable, the number and class of shares of stock and securities to which Optionee would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the Fundamental Change if, immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, Optionee had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Options are then exercisable. If the Company shall not be the surviving entity upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Options granted hereunder shall be governed by subparagraph 6(i) of the Plan. 9. Changes in Capital Structure. The existence of outstanding Options shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholder to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of Common Stock or subscription rights thereof, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceedings, whether of a similar character or otherwise. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or recapitalization, the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan or subject to any Options theretofore granted, and the Option prices, shall be appropriately and equitable adjusted so as to maintain the proportionate number of shares without changing the aggregate Option price. 10. Compliance With Securities Laws. Upon the acquisition of any shares pursuant to the exercise of the Options herein granted, Optionee (or any person acting under paragraph 6) will enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Option Agreement. 11. Compliance With Laws. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions hereof, Optionee agrees that he or she will not exercise the Options granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares pursuant to this Option Agreement, if the exercise of the -3- 4 Options or the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would constitute a violation by Optionee or by the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. 12. Withholding of Tax. To the extent that the exercise of the Options granted hereunder or the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of the Options results in compensation income to Optionee for federal or state income tax purposes, Optionee shall pay to the Company at the time of such exercise or disposition (or such other time as the law permits if Optionee is subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) such amount of money as the Company may require to meet its obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations; and, if Optionee fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from any cash remuneration then or thereafter payable to Optionee, any tax required to be withheld by reason of such resulting compensation income or Company may otherwise refuse to issue or transfer any shares otherwise required to be issued or transferred pursuant to the terms hereof. Payment of the withholding tax by Optionee shall be made in accordance with Section 10 of the Plan. 13. Resolution of Disputes. As a condition of the granting of the Options hereby, Optionee and his or her heirs and successors agree that any dispute or disagreement which may arise hereunder shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and judgment, and that any such determination and any interpretation by the Committee of the terms of this Option Agreement shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive, for all purposes, upon the Company, Optionee, his or her heirs and personal representatives. 14. Legends on Certificate. The certificates representing the shares of Common Stock purchased by exercise of any Options will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in such form as the Company or its counsel may require with respect to any applicable restrictions on sale or transfer and the stock transfer records of the Company will reflect stop-transfer instructions with respect to such shares. 15.

(ii) In the case of Employee's death during the period he is employed by the Company or a bank subsidiary, or during the three (3) month period described in subparagraph (d) below or during the one (1) year period applicable to disability described in part (i) of this subparagraph (b), the Option must be exercised within one year of death.

The notice must also include a written representation by Employee or the purchaser that at the time of such exercise, it is Employee's or the purchaser's intention to acquire the Stock for investment purposes. Furthermore, in the event the option is being exercised by a person or persons other than Employee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the option and other pertinent date as the Company may reasonably deem necessary shall accompany the notice. (d) If Employee's employment with the Company or a bank subsidiary shall be terminated for any reason other than death or disability, Employee must exercise the portion of the Option exercisable on the date of termination of employment during the three (3) month period beginning on such date.

Employee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to Stock covered by this Option until certificates for the Stock are issued. Any disposition of the Option or the Stock must comply with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. By executing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges the foregoing. 5. Extraordinary Corporate Transactions.

(a) The Company intends for the Option to be qualified as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). However, the favorable tax treatment afforded by that section will be jeopardized if Employee disposes (as that term is used in the Code) of the Stock within two years from this date or within one year after the Stock is issued to him. The Employee shall notify the Company of any such disposition immediately upon making it. (b) All decisions of the Committee upon any question arising under the Plan or under this Option Agreement shall be conclusive.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of Section 9 hereof, in the event such employer corporation, or parent or subsidiary of the Company or such employer corporation, does not substitute a new option for, and substantially equivalent to, the option herein granted, or assume the option granted hereunder, this option shall terminate and thereupon become null and void (i) upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or similar occurrence, (ii) upon any merger, consolidation, acquisition, separation, reorganization, or similar occurrence, where the Company will not be a surviving entity or (iii) upon a transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company or more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock; provided, however, that Optionee shall be fully vested in any options granted under this Plan and shall have the right immediately prior to or concurrently with such dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, acquisition, separation, reorganization or similar occurrence, to exercise any unexercised option rights granted hereunder. SECTION 9. Changes in Capital Structure. The existence of outstanding options shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of Common Stock or subscription rights thereto, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceedings, whether of a similar character or otherwise. However, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or recapitalization, the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan or subject to any options theretofore granted, and the option prices, shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain the proportionate number of shares without changing the aggregate option price. -3- 4 SECTION 10. Compliance With Securities Laws.

SECTION 11. Compliance With Other Laws. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions hereof, Optionee agrees that he will not exercise the option(s) granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares pursuant to this Agreement, if the exercise of the option(s) or the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would constitute a violation by the Optionee or by the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. SECTION 12. Resolution of Disputes. As a condition of the granting of the option by this Agreement, the Optionee and his heirs and successors agree that any dispute or disagreement which may arise hereunder shall be resolved by the Committee in its sole discretion and judgment, and that any such resolution and any interpretation by the Committee of the terms of this Agreement shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive, for all purposes, upon the Company, Optionee, his heirs and personal representatives.
