Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 26, 2007, Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company, the principal subsidiary of Southwest Bancorp, Inc., entered into The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (2008 Plan Agreement); and The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (2007 Plan Agreement)—Amendment to Comply with Section 409A, with James M. Johnson, a member of the boards of directors of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. and Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company.

In summary, the 2008 Plan Agreement and the amended 2007 Plan Agreement, allow Mr. Johnson to defer 50% of his annual retainer and other board fees for such years until the earliest of the first fifteen days of the year immediately following the year in which he no longer serves as a director of Southwest or any of its affiliates; his death or disability; the occurrence of an unforeseeable financial emergency; or a change in control of Southwest Bancorp or Stillwate r National. During the time of deferral the amounts deferred will earn interest each calendar quarter at an annualized rate equal to one percent less than the annualized rate earned by Stillwater National on its total earning assets for the previous quarter. The deferrals are not funded, and Mr. Johnson will remain a general creditor of Stillwater National for the amounts due under the Agreement. The amounts are intended to be deferred for federal income tax purposes until they are paid out. Other directors elected not to enter into the 2007 Plan Agreement or the 2008 Plan Agreement, although all directors of Stillwater National were eligible to enter such an agreement.

The principal purpose of the amendments to the 2007 Plan Agreement was to cause that agreement to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and related final regulations and guidance of the Internal Revenue Service.





Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 27, 2007, Southwest Bancorp, Inc. executed the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. and Affiliates Amended and Restated Severance Compensation Plan (the "Severance Plan") and Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company, the principal subsidiary of Southwest Bancorp, executed the Severance Plan and The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company Amended and Restated Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan and Agreement (the "Supplemental Plan"). The principal purpose of the amendments to the Severance Plan and the Supplemental Plan was to cause them to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and related final regulations and guidance of the Internal Revenue Service. The amendments did not change the amounts or calculations of benefits under the Severance Plan or the Supplemental Plan except to the extent, if any, that such a change would result from delays in payouts that are required by 409A following a change in payment election or a change in control.

The Severance Plan entitles specified offic ers to receive lump-sum severance compensation following a qualifying termination of service equal to a percentage of their total annual base compensation in effect at the date of termination. For purposes of the Severance Plan, a qualifying termination of service is defined as either an involuntary termination of service or a voluntary termination of service for good reason, in either case within two years following a change in control. Rick Green, President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of the boards of directors of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. and Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company; Kerby E. Crowell, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary; Jerry Lanier, Executive Vice President, and Chief Lending Officer; Kimberly G. Sinclair, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; and Charles H. Westerheide, Executive Vice President and Treasurer are named executive officers in Southwest Bancorp’s Proxy Statement for the 2007 annual meeting and participat e in the Severance Plan.

The Supplemental Plan provides deferred compensation to specified officers in amounts sufficient to ensure that they obtain the same profit sharing contribution as a percentage of compensation as do other officers and employees of Southwest without regard to the limitations of Southwest’s qualified Profit Sharing Plan. Mr. Green, Mr. Crowell, and Mr. Lanier participate in the Supplemental Plan.

DIRECTORS’ DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
(2007 PLAN AGREEMENT)


Amendment of Directors’ Deferred Compensation Agreement to Comply with Section 409A


AGREEMENT, made this 26th day of December 2007, effective as of January 1, 2007, by and between James M. Johnson (the “Participant”), and Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”).

WHEREAS, on December 28, 2006 the Bank and the Participant entered into the Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan to provide for deferral of compensation earned during calendar year 2007 (the “Plan”); and

WHEREAS, in order to obtain deferral of federal income taxation on deferred compensation hereunder, the Plan must comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and regulations and other guidance thereunder (collectively “§ 409A”); and

WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has issued final regulations and transition rules clarifying what is required for compliance with § 409A; and

WHEREAS, the Plan is hereby amended as set forth below in order to comply with § 409A and to clarify the effect of the December 28, 2006 Plan document; and

WHEREAS, the amendments set forth below do not alter in any respect the elections previously made in the December 28, 2006 Plan document.

NOW THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed that Sections 1, 2, 4 and 7 are amended, and Section 8 is added, as set forth below:

1.   Section 1(c) is amended by striking the existing language and substituting in lieu thereof the following: “The election of the amount of deferred compensation in Section 1(a) is irrevocable as of January 1, 2007.”

Section 1(e) is amended by adding as flush language after clause (iii) the following:

“With respect to Options I and III, a former director who continues to serve as an independent contractor after ceasing to serve as a director may not receive a distribution; in contrast, a former director who continues as an employee may receive a distribution.”

2.   Section 2 is amended by striking the first paragraph (prior to subparagraph (a)) and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“Notwithstanding Section 1(e), the amounts deferred and any accumulated income on such deferrals shall be distributed on the earliest of the following events, if any such event occurs before the event elected in Section 1(e)(i)-(iii): (1) the date, if any, specified in Section 1(e)(iii), above; (2) the Participant’s disability, (3) the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency of the Participant, and (4) a Change in Control of the Bank or Southwest Bancorp, Inc, provided that, in the event that on December 31, 2006 the Participant was not only a director but also a Specified Employee as defined in Section 7 as of the date of separation from service as a director , then no distribution may be made before (A) the expiration of six months after the date of separation from service, or (B) the Participant’s earlier death.”

3.   Section 4 is amended by striking the text in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:

      “4. Except for the beneficiary designation made in Section 3 hereof (which may be revised at any time and from time to time), the elections made herein may be changed only with respect to the time and form of payment of the amounts deferred during the term of the Agreement, and only if each of the following requirements is satisfied:

      “(a) the change does not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the Participant elects the change,

      “(b) the changed payment date must be at least five years after the date payment would otherwise have been paid (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, five years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid), provided, however, that this requirement does not apply to payment on account of death, disability or unforeseeable emergency; and

      “(c) with respect to payments under Section 1(e) or 2(a), the change is made not less than 12 months before the payment is scheduled to be paid (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, 12 months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).”

4.   Section 7 is deleted in its entirety.

5.   The following new Sections 8 and 9 are added:

      “8. Definitions.  

“Change in control means:

      “(a) the date any entity or person, including a group as defined in Section 13(d)(iii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, shall become the beneficial owner of 50 percent or more of the outstanding common shares of the Bank;  

      “(b) the closing of a transaction (i) to merge or consolidate either the Bank or Southwest Bancorp, Inc. with or into another corporation in which the Bank or Southwest Bancorp, Inc. is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which any common shares of the Bank or Southwest Bancorp, Inc. would be converted into cash, securities, or other property of another, other than a merger of the Bank or Southwest Bancorp, Inc. in which holders of common shares immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate interest of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger as immediately before, or (ii) to sell or otherwise dispose of substantially all of the assets of the Bank or Southwest Bancorp, Inc.; or  

      “(c) the date there shall have been change in a majority of the Board of the Bank within a 12 month period unless the nomination of each new director was approved by the vote of two-thirds (2/3) of directors then still in office who were in office at the beginning of the 12 month period.  

“The decision of the Committee (defined in Section 9) as to whether a change in control has occurred shall be conclusive and binding and shall be a ministerial rather than a discretionary decision.

“Disability: The Participant will be deemed disabled for purposes of Section 2 if he is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration.

Specified Employee shall mean those employees designated by the Committee annually as of December 31 as a Specified Employee. The Committee shall designate as Specified Employees participants in The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company Employees Profit Sharing Plan who are designated as key employees under section 416 of the Code as of that December 31, plus any other employees not participating in the Profit Sharing Plan who would be designated as key employees were they participants in the Profit Sharing Plan. Any individual so designated who is still employed as of the following April 1 shall become a Specified Employee from April 1 through the next March 31. If a Change in Control occurs, the Committee has authority to determine alternative methods for designating Specified Employees and satisfying the six-month delay rule, to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i).”

“Unforeseeable emergency: An unforeseeable emergency is a severe hardship to the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, his spouse, beneficiary or dependent (as defined in Code Section 152 without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B) thereof); loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster); or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. Whether the Participant is faced with an unforeseeable emergency permitting a distribution under Section 2 is to be determined by the Committee (as defined in Section 9) based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case, but, in any case, a distribution on account of unforeseeable emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. Distributions because of an unforeseeable emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution).

      “9. The Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (“Board”) shall have authority to administer the Plan. In the absence at any time of a duly appointed Committee, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. Except as limited by the express provisions of the Plan or by resolutions adopted by the Board, the Committee’s authority includes the following:  

  (a)   authority to delegate Plan administration functions to employees or other agents of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. or the Bank or their affiliates or other agents;  

  (b)   authority to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;  

  (c)   authority to determine eligibility for benefits, the amount and payment of benefit claims and resolution of claim disputes  

In administering the Plan, the Committee has full discretionary authority to make factual determinations, to construe the terms of the Plan, to determine compliance with § 409A, and to otherwise interpret the Plan (including ambiguous provisions), provided that no Committee member may participate in a decision on his or her individual claim for benefits under the Plan. The Committee’s decisions shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all parties.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto set their hands the day and year first above-written.

The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company
Amended and Restated
Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan and Agreement


Plan and Agreement, as of December 27, 2007, amending and restating the Plan and Agreement made as of the 12th day of December 2002, by and between Rick Green (the “Executive”), and Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”).

Whereas, Stillwater National previously has established the Employee’s Profit Sharing Plan and Trust as a qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Whereas, the amounts of the annual profit sharing contributions made by Stillwater National to the Executive’s account in the Profit Sharing Plan as a percentage of his Compensation may be less than the percentages payable to other employees’ accounts under the Profit Sharing Plan by reason of provisions of the Code applicable to such qualified plans.

Whereas, Stillwater National has established this Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan and Agreement (the “Plan”), in order that it may make tax-deferred contributions to a plan for the benefit of the Executive.

Now Therefore, it is mutually agreed as follows:

1. Definitions.

  (a)   “Affiliate” shall mean any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of Stillwater National, as such terms are defined in Section 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Code.

  (b)   “Beneficiary” means the person or persons selected by the Executive on a form provided by the Company to receive the benefits provided under this Plan in the event of the Executive’s death. The beneficiary designation may be revised at any time and from time to time.

  (c)   “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of Stillwater National.

  (d)   “Change in Control” shall mean any one of the following events occurring after the date hereof as decided by the Committee:

  (1)   the acquisition of ownership, holding or power to vote more than 51% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of Stillwater National or Southwest,

  (2)   replacement of a majority of Stillwater National’s or Southwest’s directors during any 12-month period, where the new directors are not endorsed by a majority of the prior Board, or

2. Plan Account. Stillwater National shall establish and maintain the Plan Account for the benefit of the Executive or for the benefit of his designated beneficiary upon the death of the Executive, and shall credit the account with contributions and earnings and debit the account for distributions, as described in this Plan.

3. Contributions. Stillwater National shall make contributions to the Plan Account as follows:

(a) Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions. Stillwater National shall credit the Plan Account with the amount equal to the difference between the aggregate amount of contributions which would have been allocated with respect to the Executive under the Profit Sharing Plan based on the Executive’s Compensation without regard to the limitations imposed by the Code on the Profit Sharing Plan, or otherwise contained in the Plan, and the aggregate amount of contributions actually made with respect to the Executive, without regard to forfeitures. For purposes of determining the amount which would have been allocated to the Profit Sharing Plan, such amount shall be deemed to be proportionate to the ratio of the actual contribution made to such plan over the compensation taken into account under such plan. Such contributions shall be credited to the Plan Account at substantially the same time as contributions are made to the Profit Sharing Plan. Stillwater National is not required to make any Supplemental Profit Sharing Contribution for any period in which it does not make a contribution to the Profit Sharing Plan. No Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions shall be made following a Termination for Just Cause of the Executive’s employment or the Executive’s voluntary employment termination without Good Reason. The Supplemental Profit Sharing Contribution for the calendar year in which the Executive’s or his Beneficiary’s rights under the Plan vest shall be prorated based upon the ratio of the number of days in the calendar year prior to the vesting date to 365.

(b) Discretionary Contributions. Stillwater National may make, but is not required by this Plan to make, additional, discretionary contributions to the Plan Account at such times and in such amounts as it may deem appropriate.

(c) Earnings. Until the Plan Account is fully distributed to the Executive or his Beneficiary, the Plan Account shall be credited as of the last day of each calendar quarter with earnings as though the balance of the Plan Account at the beginning of such calendar quarter were invested in an uninsured, nondeposit fund account having an annual return for each calendar quarter equal to the annualized average interest rate earned (non-taxable equivalent) by Stillwater National on average interest-earning assets for such calendar quarter, and except as provided in Section 6 hereof, as calculated in good faith by Stillwater National. (For example, the earnings rate for the first calendar quarter of 2002 would have been 6.65%, if the Plan were then in effect.)

(d) Unfunded Arrangement. The parties intend that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of ERISA and the Code. The Executive and his Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of Stillwater National for the payment of benefits under this Plan. The benefits represent the mere promise by Stillwater National to pay such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Executive or his Beneficiary. Any representation or assertion contrary to this section 3(d) is a material breach of this Plan by the representing or asserting party, which, if such party is the Executive or, following his death, a Beneficiary, shall immediately result in the cessation of any and all payments and the elimination of any liability hereunder for any payment not made prior to such assertion or representation, and, if such party is Stillwater National or an Affiliate of Stillwater National, shall subject Stillwater National to liability for actual damages for such breach.

4. Distributions.

(a) Vesting. The amounts deferred and any related accumulated income on such deferrals shall be fully vested upon the date of earliest of following to occur, provided the Executive has Continuous Service from the date the Executive first becomes a Participant in this Plan to such earliest date:

(1) The Executive’s retirement on or after Age 62;

(2) The Executive’s 72nd birthday;

(3) The Executive’s Permanent Disability;

  (4)   Termination of Executive’s employment by Stillwater National other than a Termination for Just Cause;

(5) Termination of Executive’s employment by the Executive with Good Reason;

(6) Termination of the Plan; or

(7) A Change in Control.

(b) When Payments Start. Distribution shall begin during the first 15 days of January in the calendar year immediately following the year in which the earliest of the events listed in paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (a) occurs. If a Change in Control as defined in paragraph 1 occurs, then Section 6 shall apply. With respect to Executives who are Specified Employees who receive payment due to termination of employment, then no payments shall be made during the six month period following such termination (unless the Executive’s death occurs within that period), provided that if an event in paragraph (4) or (5) of subsection (a) occurs, then the foregoing six month delay of payment shall apply only to the amount that exceeds two times the lesser of (i) the Participant’s annualized Compensation for the Participant’s taxable year preceding the year in which termination occurs (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely absent termination of service), and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the year in which termination occurs.

(c) Form of Distributions. Distributions will occur in the manner selected by the Executive below, provided that the Executive may change the form of distribution as to future contributions and earnings thereon only from the choices offered below, by written notice to Stillwater National, to the extent such election change is permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b). Except for the beneficiary designation made in Section 2 hereof, (which may be revised at any time and from time to time), the elections made herein may be changed only with respect to the time and form of payment of the amounts deferred during the term of the Agreement, and only if each of the following requirements is satisfied:

  (1)   the change does not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the Participant elects the change;

  (2)   the changed payment date must be at least five years after the date payment would otherwise have been paid (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, five years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid), provided, however, that this requirement does not apply to payment on account of death, disability or unforeseeable emergency; and

  (3)   with respect to payments under Section 1(e) or 2(a), the change is made not less than 12 months before the payment is scheduled to be paid (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, 12 months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).

The Executive, pursuant to the Plan, hereby elects to have the amount contributed and any related accumulated earnings distributed as follows:

     
    [Choose One]
( )
( )
( )
(x)
  monthly over a five-year period
monthly over a ten-year period
monthly over a fifteen-year period
in a lump sum

(d) Cash Distributions. All distributions made pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement will be made in cash.

(e) Distributions after Death. If an Executive dies before the entire amount credited to the Executive under the Plan has been paid to the Executive, the amount remaining shall be distributed to the Executive’s Beneficiary in accordance with the method selected by the Executive. If an Executive has not designated a Beneficiary, or if no designated Beneficiary is living on the date of distribution, such amount shall be distributed to those persons or such trust entitled to receive distributions of the Executive’s benefits under the Profit Sharing Plan.

(f) Emergency Distributions. In the event the Executive incurs an unforeseeable emergency, the Executive may make a written request to the Stillwater National for a hardship withdrawal from his or her account. An unforeseeable emergency is a severe financial hardship to the Executive resulting from an illness or accident of the Executive or of his spouse, beneficiary or dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B) thereof), loss of the Executive’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster), or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Executive. Whether the Executive is faced with an unforeseeable emergency permitting a distribution hereunder is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case, but, in any case, a distribution on account of unforeseeable emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Executive’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. Withdrawals of amounts because of an unforeseeable emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). This section shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 1.409A-3(i)(3) of the Treasury Regulations and guidance thereunder.

5Plan Administration Authority and Claims Procedures.

(a) Section 409A Compliance. The parties hereto intend that this Plan shall comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as added by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and related Internal Revenue Service regulations and other guidance (collectively, “§ 409A”). The Committee’s and the Board’s authority under subsection (b) shall be exercised in a manner consistent with § 409A.

(b) Committee and Board Authority. The Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Stillwater National (“Board”) shall have authority to administer the Plan. In the absence at any time of a duly appointed Committee, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. Except as limited by the express provisions of the Plan or by resolutions adopted by the Board, the Committee’s authority includes the following:

  (1)   authority to delegate Plan administration functions to employees of Stillwater National, Southwest Bancorp, Inc. or Affiliates or other agents;

  (2)   authority to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;

  (3)   authority to determine eligibility for benefits, amount and payment of benefit claims and resolution of claim disputes as provided in subsection (c).

In administering the Plan, the Committee has full discretionary authority to make factual determinations, to construe the terms of the Plan, to determine compliance with § 409A and to otherwise interpret the Plan (including ambiguous provisions). The Committee’s decisions shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all parties, except where (i) Plan terms state that a Committee decision is ministerial, or (ii) where a benefit claimant timely appeals from a Committee decision under subsection (c), in which case the ultimate decision on appeal shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all parties, subject only to judicial review.

(c) Benefit Claims. The Committee shall be responsible for determining all claims for benefits under this Plan. Within ninety (90) days after receiving a claim, the Committee shall notify a Participant of its decision. If the decision is adverse to the Participant, the Committee shall advise him or her of the reasons for the decision, of the Plan provision involved, of any additional information the Participant must provide to perfect the claim and of the right to request a review of the decision. Regardless, an individual member of the Committee shall not participate in a decision on his or her own benefit claim.

A Participant may request a review of an adverse Committee decision by written request, made within sixty (60) days after receipt of the decision, submitted to the Board. The Participant or his attorney may review pertinent documents and submit written issues and comments. Within sixty (60) days after receiving a request for review, the Board shall notify the Participant in writing of (a) its decision, (b) the reasons therefor, and (c) the Plan provisions upon which it is based.

(d) Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by Stillwater National in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding relating to any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan to the maximum extent provided for under Stillwater National’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws with respect to the indemnification of Directors. Stillwater National nor any of its officers, directors, Affiliates, or agents shall be liable to the Executive, his Beneficiary or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, unless attributable to fraud or willful misconduct on the part of such person.

(e) Costs and Statements. Stillwater National shall pay the expenses of administration and the costs of employing employment counsel and accountants with respect to the Plan or its administration, including without limitation, the administrative and other costs of the Trust. Stillwater National shall furnish individual annual statements of accrued benefits to the Executive or current Beneficiary, in such form as determined by Stillwater National or as required by law.

(f) Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, Stillwater National may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person, or incapable person. Stillwater National may require proof of incompetency, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to the distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge Stillwater National from all liability with respect to such benefit.

6. Trust. Prior to or simultaneously with any Transaction and within ten calendar days of any other Change in Control, unless and to the extent the Executive has previously provided a written release of any claims under this Plan, Stillwater National shall establish a valid trust under the law of the State of Oklahoma with an independent trustee that has or may be granted corporate trust powers under Oklahoma law, deposit in such trust an amount equal to 200% of the Plan Account balance immediately prior to the establishment of the Trust, and provide the Trustee of the Trust with a written direction to invest such amount in securities supported by the full faith and credit of the United States except for amounts held in one or more deposit accounts as needed on a short-term basis to pay amounts due to the Executive or his Beneficiary as provided below, to hold said amount and any investment return thereon in a segregated account, and to pay such amounts due to the Executive (or upon his death, his Beneficiary) under this Plan. Upon the final payment of all amounts due to the Executive or his Beneficiary under this Plan, the Trustee of the Trust shall pay to Stillwater National the entire balance, if any, remaining in the Trust. Payments from the Trust to the Executive shall be considered payments made by Stillwater National for purposes of this Agreement. Payment of such amounts to the Executive from the Trust, however, shall not relieve Stillwater National from any obligation to pay amounts in excess of those paid from the Trust, or from any obligation to take actions or refrain from taking actions otherwise required by this Plan. In no event may the Trust invest in securities or obligations issued by Stillwater National or any of its Affiliates or successors. Stillwater National shall have no right or power to direct the Trustee to return or divert any of the Trust assets before all payments of benefits have been made. Stillwater National shall pay all fees and expenses of the Trust, including, without limitation, Trustee fees, and all income taxes on earnings of the Trust from its assets outside of the Trust. In the event that Stillwater National shall not provide the earnings rate referred to under Section 3(c) hereof, the Trustee shall calculate such rate based upon reports of condition furnished by Stillwater National to its primary federal banking regulator or upon other publicly available reports. The Executive’s and his Beneficiary’s rights under this Plan shall be those of a general, unsecured creditor, he shall have no claim against the assets of the Trust, and the assets of the Trust shall be considered general assets of Stillwater National subject to the claims of creditors of Stillwater National in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency.

7. No Effect on Profit Sharing Plan. This Plan has no effect upon benefits under or the terms of the Profit Sharing Plan.

8Forfeiture or Suspension of Plan Benefits.

(a) In General. The Executive shall completely forfeit any and all rights to any and all benefits under this Plan upon his Termination for Just Cause or his voluntary termination without Good Reason.

(b) Competition. Regardless of anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of a termination of employment by Stillwater National without Just Cause, a termination of employment by the Executive with Good Reason, or with the permission of Stillwater National, if the Executive shall, during the two years immediately following the Executive’s termination of employment, serve as an officer or director or employee of any bank holding company, bank, savings association, savings and loan holding company, or mortgage company (any of which, a “Financial Institution”) which Financial Institution offers products or services competing with those offered by the Bank from offices in any county in the Primary Market Area, or shall interfere with the relationship of Stillwater National and any of its employees, agents, or representatives, then the Committee shall direct that any unpaid balance of any payments to the Executive under this Agreement be suspended, and shall thereupon notify the Executive of such suspension, in writing. Thereupon, if the Committee shall determine that such behavior by the executive exists at any time after a period of one month following notification of such suspension, all rights of the Executive and his Beneficiary under this Plan, including rights to any and all further payments hereunder, shall thereupon terminate.

(c) Certain Regulatory Events. If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of Stillwater National’s affairs by an order issued under Sections 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of Stillwater National under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected. If Stillwater National is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of FDIA), all obligations of Stillwater National under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected. If a notice served under Sections 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)) suspends and/or temporarily prohibits the Executive from participating in the conduct of Stillwater National’s affairs, Stillwater National’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of such service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, Stillwater National may, in its discretion, (i) pay the Executive all or part of the contributions or payments withheld while its contract obligations were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

9. Termination. Stillwater National may terminate this Plan only upon termination of the Profit Sharing Plan or with the Agreement of the Executive. No termination of the Plan shall directly or indirectly reduce the balance of the Plan Account as of the effective date of such termination. Upon termination of the Plan, distribution of the Plan Account in accordance with Section amounts credited to such account shall be made to the Executive or his or her Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4. No contributions will be credited to the Plan Account after termination of the Plan, but earnings will continue to be credited to the Plan Account until all amounts are distributed to the Executive or his Beneficiary.

10. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma, except to the extent that federal law shall be deemed to apply.

11. Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding upon Stillwater National’s successors

12. Amendments. No amendments or additions to this Plan shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by all of the parties, except as herein otherwise specifically provided.

13. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

14. Headings. Headings contained herein are for convenience of reference only.

15. .
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any understanding or modifications thereof as agreed to in writing by the parties, shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than written agreements with respect to specific plans, programs or arrangements described in Sections 5 and 6.

The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company
Amended and Restated
Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan and Agreement


Plan and Agreement, as of December 27, 2007, amending and restating the Plan and Agreement made as of the 31st day of December 2004, by and between Kerby E. Crowell (the “Executive”), and Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”).

Whereas, Stillwater National previously has established the Employee’s Profit Sharing Plan and Trust as a qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Whereas, the amounts of the annual profit sharing contributions made by Stillwater National to the Executive’s account in the Profit Sharing Plan as a percentage of his Compensation may be less than the percentages payable to other employees’ accounts under the Profit Sharing Plan by reason of provisions of the Code applicable to such qualified plans.

Whereas, Stillwater National has established this Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan and Agreement (the “Plan”), in order that it may make tax-deferred contributions to a plan for the benefit of the Executive.

Now Therefore, it is mutually agreed as follows:

1. Definitions.

  (a)   “Affiliate” shall mean any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of Stillwater National, as such terms are defined in Section 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Code.

  (d)   “Change in Control” shall mean any one of the following events occurring after the date hereof as decided by the Committee:

  (3)   the closing of a Transaction.

The decision of the Committee as to whether a Change in Control has occurred shall be conclusive and binding and is to be a ministerial rather than a discretionary decision. To constitute a Change in Control, the event must occur with respect to Stillwater National or Southwest, whichever is (i) the entity for which the Executive performs services at the time of the event, or (ii) Stillwater National as the entity liable for payment under Section 4 hereof.

This definition shall be construed and applied in a manner that is consistent with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(5).

  (2)   the assignment of Executive without Executive’s consent to (i) a location outside of the metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”) in which such Executive was assigned at the date of the Change in Control, or (ii) if Executive was not assigned in an MSA at such date, a location more than 75 miles from the location to which Executive was assigned at the date of the Change in Control;

  (3)   a material reduction in the authority or responsibility that Executive had immediately prior to the Change in Control;

  (4)   a material reduction in the authority or responsibility of the person or group to whom the Executive is required to report;

  (5)   a material reduction in the level of incentive compensation or benefits of a Executive from those in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control except such reductions as are applicable to all employees or key executives generally and which do not have a disproportionate effect on Executive; or

  (6)   a material breach by Stillwater National under a binding employment agreement with the Executive.

Termination due to one of the conditions in clauses (1)-(6) shall not constitute termination for Good Reason unless the Executive provides written notice to the employer within 90 days of the initial existence of such condition and allows at least 30 days for the condition to be corrected.

  (v)   “Termination for Just Cause” means termination by Stillwater National or Southwest of Executive’s employment because of the Executive’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties; willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than minor offenses) or any final cease-and-desist order); or committing any other act that causes significant damage to the reputation of the Bank or any of its Affiliates.

  (x)   “Trust” means an irrevocable grantor trust established by Stillwater National, or a successor thereto, in connection with this Plan to provide the benefits described in the Plan, the assets of which are subject to the claims of Stillwater National’s creditors in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency, and the terms of which conform to the terms of the model trust as descried in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64 (and any successor thereto) and otherwise meet the requirements for a “rabbi trust” under ERISA and the Code and of the provisions of this Plan.

  (y)   “Trustee” means the independent third-party corporation or individual selected by Stillwater National to serve as Trustee for the Trust.

2. Plan Account. Stillwater National shall establish and maintain the Plan Account for the benefit of the Executive or for the benefit of his designated beneficiary upon the death of the Executive, and shall credit the account with contributions and earnings and debit the account for distributions, as described in this Plan.

3. Contributions. Stillwater National shall make contributions to the Plan Account as follows:

(a) Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions. Stillwater National shall credit the Plan Account with the amount equal to the difference between the aggregate amount of contributions which would have been allocated with respect to the Executive under the Profit Sharing Plan based on the Executive’s Compensation without regard to the limitations imposed by the Code on the Profit Sharing Plan, or otherwise contained in the Plan, and the aggregate amount of contributions actually made with respect to the Executive, without regard to forfeitures. For purposes of determining the amount which would have been allocated to the Profit Sharing Plan, such amount shall be deemed to be proportionate to the ratio of the actual contribution made to such plan over the compensation taken into account under such plan. Such contributions shall be credited to the Plan Account at substantially the same time as contributions are made to the Profit Sharing Plan. Stillwater National is not required to make any Supplemental Profit Sharing Contribution for any period in which it does not make a contribution to the Profit Sharing Plan. No Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions shall be made following a Termination for Just Cause of the Executive’s employment or the Executive’s voluntary employment termination without Good Reason. The Supplemental Profit Sharing Contribution for the calendar year in which the Executive’s or his Beneficiary’s rights under the Plan vest shall be prorated based upon the ratio of the number of days in the calendar year prior to the vesting date to 365.

(b) Discretionary Contributions. Stillwater National may make, but is not required by this Plan to make, additional, discretionary contributions to the Plan Account at such times and in such amounts as it may deem appropriate.

(c) Earnings. Until the Plan Account is fully distributed to the Executive or his Beneficiary, the Plan Account shall be credited as of the last day of each calendar quarter with earnings as though the balance of the Plan Account at the beginning of such calendar quarter were invested in an uninsured, nondeposit fund account having an annual return for each calendar quarter equal to the annualized average interest rate earned (non-taxable equivalent) by Stillwater National on average interest-earning assets for such calendar quarter, and except as provided in Section 6 hereof, as calculated in good faith by Stillwater National. (For example, the earnings rate for the first calendar quarter of 2002 would have been 6.65%, if the Plan were then in effect.)

(d) Unfunded Arrangement. The parties intend that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of ERISA and the Code. The Executive and his Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of Stillwater National for the payment of benefits under this Plan. The benefits represent the mere promise by Stillwater National to pay such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Executive or his Beneficiary. Any representation or assertion contrary to this section 3(d) is a material breach of this Plan by the representing or asserting party, which, if such party is the Executive or, following his death, a Beneficiary, shall immediately result in the cessation of any and all payments and the elimination of any liability hereunder for any payment not made prior to such assertion or representation, and, if such party is Stillwater National or an Affiliate of Stillwater National, shall subject Stillwater National to liability for actual damages for such breach.

4. Distributions.

(a) Vesting. The amounts deferred and any related accumulated income on such deferrals shall be fully vested upon the date of earliest of following to occur, provided the Executive has Continuous Service from the date the Executive first becomes a Participant in this Plan to such earliest date:

(1) The Executive’s retirement on or after Age 62;

(2) The Executive’s 72nd birthday;

(3) The Executive’s Permanent Disability;

  (4)   Termination of Executive’s employment by Stillwater National other than a Termination for Just Cause;

(5) Termination of Executive’s employment by the Executive with Good Reason;

(6) Termination of the Plan; or

(7) A Change in Control.

(b) When Payments Start. Distribution shall begin during the first 15 days of January in the calendar year immediately following the year in which the earliest of the events listed in paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (a) occurs. If a Change in Control as defined in paragraph 1 occurs, then Section 6 shall apply. With respect to Executives who are Specified Employees who receive payment due to termination of employment, then no payments shall be made during the six month period following such termination (unless the Executive’s death occurs within that period), provided that if an event in paragraph (4) or (5) of subsection (a) occurs, then the foregoing six month delay of payment shall apply only to the amount that exceeds two times the lesser of (i) the Participant’s annualized Compensation for the Participant’s taxable year preceding the year in which termination occurs (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely absent termination of service), and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the year in which termination occurs.

(c) Form of Distributions. Distributions will occur in the manner selected by the Executive below, provided that the Executive may change the form of distribution as to future contributions and earnings thereon only from the choices offered below, by written notice to Stillwater National, to the extent such election change is permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b). Except for the beneficiary designation made in Section 2 hereof, (which may be revised at any time and from time to time), the elections made herein may be changed only with respect to the time and form of payment of the amounts deferred during the term of the Agreement, and only if each of the following requirements is satisfied:

  (1)   the change does not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the Participant elects the change;

  (2)   the changed payment date must be at least five years after the date payment would otherwise have been paid (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, five years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid), provided, however, that this requirement does not apply to payment on account of death, disability or unforeseeable emergency; and

  (3)   with respect to payments under Section 1(e) or 2(a), the change is made not less than 12 months before the payment is scheduled to be paid (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, 12 months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).

The Executive, pursuant to the Plan, hereby elects to have the amount contributed and any related accumulated earnings distributed as follows:

     
    [Choose One]
(x)
( )
( )
( )
  monthly over a five-year period
monthly over a ten-year period
monthly over a fifteen-year period
in a lump sum

(d) Cash Distributions. All distributions made pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement will be made in cash.

(e) Distributions after Death. If an Executive dies before the entire amount credited to the Executive under the Plan has been paid to the Executive, the amount remaining shall be distributed to the Executive’s Beneficiary in accordance with the method selected by the Executive. If an Executive has not designated a Beneficiary, or if no designated Beneficiary is living on the date of distribution, such amount shall be distributed to those persons or such trust entitled to receive distributions of the Executive’s benefits under the Profit Sharing Plan.

(f) Emergency Distributions. In the event the Executive incurs an unforeseeable emergency, the Executive may make a written request to the Stillwater National for a hardship withdrawal from his or her account. An unforeseeable emergency is a severe financial hardship to the Executive resulting from an illness or accident of the Executive or of his spouse, beneficiary or dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B) thereof), loss of the Executive’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster), or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Executive. Whether the Executive is faced with an unforeseeable emergency permitting a distribution hereunder is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case, but, in any case, a distribution on account of unforeseeable emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Executive’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. Withdrawals of amounts because of an unforeseeable emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). This section shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 1.409A-3(i)(3) of the Treasury Regulations and guidance thereunder.

5Plan Administration Authority and Claims Procedures.

(a) Section 409A Compliance. The parties hereto intend that this Plan shall comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as added by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and related Internal Revenue Service regulations and other guidance (collectively, “§ 409A”). The Committee’s and the Board’s authority under subsection (b) shall be exercised in a manner consistent with § 409A.

(b) Committee and Board Authority. The Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Stillwater National (“Board”) shall have authority to administer the Plan. In the absence at any time of a duly appointed Committee, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. Except as limited by the express provisions of the Plan or by resolutions adopted by the Board, the Committee’s authority includes the following:

  (1)   authority to delegate Plan administration functions to employees of Stillwater National, Southwest Bancorp, Inc. or Affiliates or other agents;

  (2)   authority to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;

  (3)   authority to determine eligibility for benefits, amount and payment of benefit claims and resolution of claim disputes as provided in subsection (c).

In administering the Plan, the Committee has full discretionary authority to make factual determinations, to construe the terms of the Plan, to determine compliance with § 409A and to otherwise interpret the Plan (including ambiguous provisions). The Committee’s decisions shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all parties, except where (i) Plan terms state that a Committee decision is ministerial, or (ii) where a benefit claimant timely appeals from a Committee decision under subsection (c), in which case the ultimate decision on appeal shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all parties, subject only to judicial review.

(c) Benefit Claims. The Committee shall be responsible for determining all claims for benefits under this Plan. Within ninety (90) days after receiving a claim, the Committee shall notify a Participant of its decision. If the decision is adverse to the Participant, the Committee shall advise him or her of the reasons for the decision, of the Plan provision involved, of any additional information the Participant must provide to perfect the claim and of the right to request a review of the decision. Regardless, an individual member of the Committee shall not participate in a decision on his or her own benefit claim.

A Participant may request a review of an adverse Committee decision by written request, made within sixty (60) days after receipt of the decision, submitted to the Board. The Participant or his attorney may review pertinent documents and submit written issues and comments. Within sixty (60) days after receiving a request for review, the Board shall notify the Participant in writing of (a) its decision, (b) the reasons therefor, and (c) the Plan provisions upon which it is based.

(d) Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by Stillwater National in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding relating to any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan to the maximum extent provided for under Stillwater National’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws with respect to the indemnification of Directors. Stillwater National nor any of its officers, directors, Affiliates, or agents shall be liable to the Executive, his Beneficiary or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, unless attributable to fraud or willful misconduct on the part of such person.

(e) Costs and Statements. Stillwater National shall pay the expenses of administration and the costs of employing employment counsel and accountants with respect to the Plan or its administration, including without limitation, the administrative and other costs of the Trust. Stillwater National shall furnish individual annual statements of accrued benefits to the Executive or current Beneficiary, in such form as determined by Stillwater National or as required by law.

(f) Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, Stillwater National may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person, or incapable person. Stillwater National may require proof of incompetency, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to the distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge Stillwater National from all liability with respect to such benefit.

6. Trust. Prior to or simultaneously with any Transaction and within ten calendar days of any other Change in Control, unless and to the extent the Executive has previously provided a written release of any claims under this Plan, Stillwater National shall establish a valid trust under the law of the State of Oklahoma with an independent trustee that has or may be granted corporate trust powers under Oklahoma law, deposit in such trust an amount equal to 200% of the Plan Account balance immediately prior to the establishment of the Trust, and provide the Trustee of the Trust with a written direction to invest such amount in securities supported by the full faith and credit of the United States except for amounts held in one or more deposit accounts as needed on a short-term basis to pay amounts due to the Executive or his Beneficiary as provided below, to hold said amount and any investment return thereon in a segregated account, and to pay such amounts due to the Executive (or upon his death, his Beneficiary) under this Plan. Upon the final payment of all amounts due to the Executive or his Beneficiary under this Plan, the Trustee of the Trust shall pay to Stillwater National the entire balance, if any, remaining in the Trust. Payments from the Trust to the Executive shall be considered payments made by Stillwater National for purposes of this Agreement. Payment of such amounts to the Executive from the Trust, however, shall not relieve Stillwater National from any obligation to pay amounts in excess of those paid from the Trust, or from any obligation to take actions or refrain from taking actions otherwise required by this Plan. In no event may the Trust invest in securities or obligations issued by Stillwater National or any of its Affiliates or successors. Stillwater National shall have no right or power to direct the Trustee to return or divert any of the Trust assets before all payments of benefits have been made. Stillwater National shall pay all fees and expenses of the Trust, including, without limitation, Trustee fees, and all income taxes on earnings of the Trust from its assets outside of the Trust. In the event that Stillwater National shall not provide the earnings rate referred to under Section 3(c) hereof, the Trustee shall calculate such rate based upon reports of condition furnished by Stillwater National to its primary federal banking regulator or upon other publicly available reports. The Executive’s and his Beneficiary’s rights under this Plan shall be those of a general, unsecured creditor, he shall have no claim against the assets of the Trust, and the assets of the Trust shall be considered general assets of Stillwater National subject to the claims of creditors of Stillwater National in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency.

7. No Effect on Profit Sharing Plan. This Plan has no effect upon benefits under or the terms of the Profit Sharing Plan.

8Forfeiture or Suspension of Plan Benefits.

(a) In General. The Executive shall completely forfeit any and all rights to any and all benefits under this Plan upon his Termination for Just Cause or his voluntary termination without Good Reason.

(b) Competition. Regardless of anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of a termination of employment by Stillwater National without Just Cause, a termination of employment by the Executive with Good Reason, or with the permission of Stillwater National, if the Executive shall, during the two years immediately following the Executive’s termination of employment, serve as an officer or director or employee of any bank holding company, bank, savings association, savings and loan holding company, or mortgage company (any of which, a “Financial Institution”) which Financial Institution offers products or services competing with those offered by the Bank from offices in any county in the Primary Market Area, or shall interfere with the relationship of Stillwater National and any of its employees, agents, or representatives, then the Committee shall direct that any unpaid balance of any payments to the Executive under this Agreement be suspended, and shall thereupon notify the Executive of such suspension, in writing. Thereupon, if the Committee shall determine that such behavior by the executive exists at any time after a period of one month following notification of such suspension, all rights of the Executive and his Beneficiary under this Plan, including rights to any and all further payments hereunder, shall thereupon terminate.

(c) Certain Regulatory Events. If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of Stillwater National’s affairs by an order issued under Sections 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of Stillwater National under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected. If Stillwater National is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of FDIA), all obligations of Stillwater National under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected. If a notice served under Sections 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)) suspends and/or temporarily prohibits the Executive from participating in the conduct of Stillwater National’s affairs, Stillwater National’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of such service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, Stillwater National may, in its discretion, (i) pay the Executive all or part of the contributions or payments withheld while its contract obligations were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

9. Termination. Stillwater National may terminate this Plan only upon termination of the Profit Sharing Plan or with the Agreement of the Executive. No termination of the Plan shall directly or indirectly reduce the balance of the Plan Account as of the effective date of such termination. Upon termination of the Plan, distribution of the Plan Account in accordance with Section amounts credited to such account shall be made to the Executive or his or her Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4. No contributions will be credited to the Plan Account after termination of the Plan, but earnings will continue to be credited to the Plan Account until all amounts are distributed to the Executive or his Beneficiary.

10. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma, except to the extent that federal law shall be deemed to apply.

11. Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding upon Stillwater National’s successors

12. Amendments. No amendments or additions to this Plan shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by all of the parties, except as herein otherwise specifically provided.

13. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

14. Headings. Headings contained herein are for convenience of reference only.

15. .
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any understanding or modifications thereof as agreed to in writing by the parties, shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than written agreements with respect to specific plans, programs or arrangements described in Sections 5 and 6.

The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company
Amended and Restated
Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan and Agreement


Plan and Agreement, as of December 27, 2007, amending and restating the Plan and Agreement made as of the 31st day of December 2004, by and between Jerry Lanier (the “Executive”), and Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”).

Whereas, Stillwater National previously has established the Employee’s Profit Sharing Plan and Trust as a qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Whereas, the amounts of the annual profit sharing contributions made by Stillwater National to the Executive’s account in the Profit Sharing Plan as a percentage of his Compensation may be less than the percentages payable to other employees’ accounts under the Profit Sharing Plan by reason of provisions of the Code applicable to such qualified plans.

Whereas, Stillwater National has established this Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan and Agreement (the “Plan”), in order that it may make tax-deferred contributions to a plan for the benefit of the Executive.

Now Therefore, it is mutually agreed as follows:

1. Definitions.

  (a)   “Affiliate” shall mean any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of Stillwater National, as such terms are defined in Section 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Code.

  (d)   “Change in Control” shall mean any one of the following events occurring after the date hereof as decided by the Committee:

  (3)   the closing of a Transaction.

The decision of the Committee as to whether a Change in Control has occurred shall be conclusive and binding and is to be a ministerial rather than a discretionary decision. To constitute a Change in Control, the event must occur with respect to Stillwater National or Southwest, whichever is (i) the entity for which the Executive performs services at the time of the event, or (ii) Stillwater National as the entity liable for payment under Section 4 hereof.

This definition shall be construed and applied in a manner that is consistent with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(5).

  (i)   “ERISA” means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

  (j)   Good Reason” shall mean a reason for the Executive’s voluntary termination of employment within one of the following categories, provided that termination occurs within two years of the initial existence of the reason for termination:

  (1)   a material reduction in Executive’s Earnings in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control or as increased thereafter;

  (2)   the assignment of Executive without Executive’s consent to (i) a location outside of the metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”) in which such Executive was assigned at the date of the Change in Control, or (ii) if Executive was not assigned in an MSA at such date, a location more than 75 miles from the location to which Executive was assigned at the date of the Change in Control;

  (3)   a material reduction in the authority or responsibility that Executive had immediately prior to the Change in Control;

  (4)   a material reduction in the authority or responsibility of the person or group to whom the Executive is required to report;

  (5)   a material reduction in the level of incentive compensation or benefits of a Executive from those in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control except such reductions as are applicable to all employees or key executives generally and which do not have a disproportionate effect on Executive; or

  (6)   a material breach by Stillwater National under a binding employment agreement with the Executive.

Termination due to one of the conditions in clauses (1)-(6) shall not constitute termination for Good Reason unless the Executive provides written notice to the employer within 90 days of the initial existence of such condition and allows at least 30 days for the condition to be corrected.

  (s)   “Specified Employee” shall mean those employees designated by the Committee annually as of December 31 as a Specified Employee. The Committee shall designate as Specified Employees participants in The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company Employees Profit Sharing Plan who are designated as key employees under section 416 of the Code as of that December 31, plus any other employees not participating in the Profit Sharing Plan who would be designated as key employees were they participants in the Profit Sharing Plan. Any individual so designated who is still employed as of the following April 1 shall become a Specified Employee from April 1 through the next March 31. If a corporate transaction occurs, the Committee has authority to determine alternative methods for designating Specified Employees and satisfying the six-month delay rule, to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i).

  (t)   “Stillwater National” shall mean Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company.

  (y)   “Trustee” means the independent third-party corporation or individual selected by Stillwater National to serve as Trustee for the Trust.

2. Plan Account. Stillwater National shall establish and maintain the Plan Account for the benefit of the Executive or for the benefit of his designated beneficiary upon the death of the Executive, and shall credit the account with contributions and earnings and debit the account for distributions, as described in this Plan.

3. Contributions. Stillwater National shall make contributions to the Plan Account as follows:

(a) Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions. Stillwater National shall credit the Plan Account with the amount equal to the difference between the aggregate amount of contributions which would have been allocated with respect to the Executive under the Profit Sharing Plan based on the Executive’s Compensation without regard to the limitations imposed by the Code on the Profit Sharing Plan, or otherwise contained in the Plan, and the aggregate amount of contributions actually made with respect to the Executive, without regard to forfeitures. For purposes of determining the amount which would have been allocated to the Profit Sharing Plan, such amount shall be deemed to be proportionate to the ratio of the actual contribution made to such plan over the compensation taken into account under such plan. Such contributions shall be credited to the Plan Account at substantially the same time as contributions are made to the Profit Sharing Plan. Stillwater National is not required to make any Supplemental Profit Sharing Contribution for any period in which it does not make a contribution to the Profit Sharing Plan. No Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions shall be made following a Termination for Just Cause of the Executive’s employment or the Executive’s voluntary employment termination without Good Reason. The Supplemental Profit Sharing Contribution for the calendar year in which the Executive’s or his Beneficiary’s rights under the Plan vest shall be prorated based upon the ratio of the number of days in the calendar year prior to the vesting date to 365.

(b) Discretionary Contributions. Stillwater National may make, but is not required by this Plan to make, additional, discretionary contributions to the Plan Account at such times and in such amounts as it may deem appropriate.

(c) Earnings. Until the Plan Account is fully distributed to the Executive or his Beneficiary, the Plan Account shall be credited as of the last day of each calendar quarter with earnings as though the balance of the Plan Account at the beginning of such calendar quarter were invested in an uninsured, nondeposit fund account having an annual return for each calendar quarter equal to the annualized average interest rate earned (non-taxable equivalent) by Stillwater National on average interest-earning assets for such calendar quarter, and except as provided in Section 6 hereof, as calculated in good faith by Stillwater National. (For example, the earnings rate for the first calendar quarter of 2002 would have been 6.65%, if the Plan were then in effect.)

(d) Unfunded Arrangement. The parties intend that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of ERISA and the Code. The Executive and his Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of Stillwater National for the payment of benefits under this Plan. The benefits represent the mere promise by Stillwater National to pay such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Executive or his Beneficiary. Any representation or assertion contrary to this section 3(d) is a material breach of this Plan by the representing or asserting party, which, if such party is the Executive or, following his death, a Beneficiary, shall immediately result in the cessation of any and all payments and the elimination of any liability hereunder for any payment not made prior to such assertion or representation, and, if such party is Stillwater National or an Affiliate of Stillwater National, shall subject Stillwater National to liability for actual damages for such breach.

4. Distributions.

(a) Vesting. The amounts deferred and any related accumulated income on such deferrals shall be fully vested upon the date of earliest of following to occur, provided the Executive has Continuous Service from the date the Executive first becomes a Participant in this Plan to such earliest date:

(1) The Executive’s retirement on or after Age 62;

(2) The Executive’s 72nd birthday;

(3) The Executive’s Permanent Disability;

  (4)   Termination of Executive’s employment by Stillwater National other than a Termination for Just Cause;

(5) Termination of Executive’s employment by the Executive with Good Reason;

(6) Termination of the Plan; or

(7) A Change in Control.

(b) When Payments Start. Distribution shall begin during the first 15 days of January in the calendar year immediately following the year in which the earliest of the events listed in paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (a) occurs. If a Change in Control as defined in paragraph 1 occurs, then Section 6 shall apply. With respect to Executives who are Specified Employees who receive payment due to termination of employment, then no payments shall be made during the six month period following such termination (unless the Executive’s death occurs within that period), provided that if an event in paragraph (4) or (5) of subsection (a) occurs, then the foregoing six month delay of payment shall apply only to the amount that exceeds two times the lesser of (i) the Participant’s annualized Compensation for the Participant’s taxable year preceding the year in which termination occurs (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely absent termination of service), and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the year in which termination occurs.

(c) Form of Distributions. Distributions will occur in the manner selected by the Executive below, provided that the Executive may change the form of distribution as to future contributions and earnings thereon only from the choices offered below, by written notice to Stillwater National, to the extent such election change is permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b). Except for the beneficiary designation made in Section 2 hereof, (which may be revised at any time and from time to time), the elections made herein may be changed only with respect to the time and form of payment of the amounts deferred during the term of the Agreement, and only if each of the following requirements is satisfied:

  (1)   the change does not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the Participant elects the change;

  (2)   the changed payment date must be at least five years after the date payment would otherwise have been paid (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, five years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid), provided, however, that this requirement does not apply to payment on account of death, disability or unforeseeable emergency; and

  (3)   with respect to payments under Section 1(e) or 2(a), the change is made not less than 12 months before the payment is scheduled to be paid (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, 12 months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).

The Executive, pursuant to the Plan, hereby elects to have the amount contributed and any related accumulated earnings distributed as follows:

     
    [Choose One]
(x)
( )
( )
( )
  monthly over a five-year period
monthly over a ten-year period
monthly over a fifteen-year period
in a lump sum

(d) Cash Distributions. All distributions made pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement will be made in cash.

(e) Distributions after Death. If an Executive dies before the entire amount credited to the Executive under the Plan has been paid to the Executive, the amount remaining shall be distributed to the Executive’s Beneficiary in accordance with the method selected by the Executive. If an Executive has not designated a Beneficiary, or if no designated Beneficiary is living on the date of distribution, such amount shall be distributed to those persons or such trust entitled to receive distributions of the Executive’s benefits under the Profit Sharing Plan.

(f) Emergency Distributions. In the event the Executive incurs an unforeseeable emergency, the Executive may make a written request to the Stillwater National for a hardship withdrawal from his or her account. An unforeseeable emergency is a severe financial hardship to the Executive resulting from an illness or accident of the Executive or of his spouse, beneficiary or dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B) thereof), loss of the Executive’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster), or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Executive. Whether the Executive is faced with an unforeseeable emergency permitting a distribution hereunder is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case, but, in any case, a distribution on account of unforeseeable emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Executive’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. Withdrawals of amounts because of an unforeseeable emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). This section shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 1.409A-3(i)(3) of the Treasury Regulations and guidance thereunder.

5Plan Administration Authority and Claims Procedures.

(a) Section 409A Compliance. The parties hereto intend that this Plan shall comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as added by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and related Internal Revenue Service regulations and other guidance (collectively, “§ 409A”). The Committee’s and the Board’s authority under subsection (b) shall be exercised in a manner consistent with § 409A.

(b) Committee and Board Authority. The Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Stillwater National (“Board”) shall have authority to administer the Plan. In the absence at any time of a duly appointed Committee, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. Except as limited by the express provisions of the Plan or by resolutions adopted by the Board, the Committee’s authority includes the following:

  (1)   authority to delegate Plan administration functions to employees of Stillwater National, Southwest Bancorp, Inc. or Affiliates or other agents;

  (2)   authority to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;

  (3)   authority to determine eligibility for benefits, amount and payment of benefit claims and resolution of claim disputes as provided in subsection (c).

In administering the Plan, the Committee has full discretionary authority to make factual determinations, to construe the terms of the Plan, to determine compliance with § 409A and to otherwise interpret the Plan (including ambiguous provisions). The Committee’s decisions shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all parties, except where (i) Plan terms state that a Committee decision is ministerial, or (ii) where a benefit claimant timely appeals from a Committee decision under subsection (c), in which case the ultimate decision on appeal shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all parties, subject only to judicial review.

(c) Benefit Claims. The Committee shall be responsible for determining all claims for benefits under this Plan. Within ninety (90) days after receiving a claim, the Committee shall notify a Participant of its decision. If the decision is adverse to the Participant, the Committee shall advise him or her of the reasons for the decision, of the Plan provision involved, of any additional information the Participant must provide to perfect the claim and of the right to request a review of the decision. Regardless, an individual member of the Committee shall not participate in a decision on his or her own benefit claim.

A Participant may request a review of an adverse Committee decision by written request, made within sixty (60) days after receipt of the decision, submitted to the Board. The Participant or his attorney may review pertinent documents and submit written issues and comments. Within sixty (60) days after receiving a request for review, the Board shall notify the Participant in writing of (a) its decision, (b) the reasons therefor, and (c) the Plan provisions upon which it is based.

(d) Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by Stillwater National in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding relating to any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan to the maximum extent provided for under Stillwater National’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws with respect to the indemnification of Directors. Stillwater National nor any of its officers, directors, Affiliates, or agents shall be liable to the Executive, his Beneficiary or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, unless attributable to fraud or willful misconduct on the part of such person.

(e) Costs and Statements. Stillwater National shall pay the expenses of administration and the costs of employing employment counsel and accountants with respect to the Plan or its administration, including without limitation, the administrative and other costs of the Trust. Stillwater National shall furnish individual annual statements of accrued benefits to the Executive or current Beneficiary, in such form as determined by Stillwater National or as required by law.

(f) Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, Stillwater National may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person, or incapable person. Stillwater National may require proof of incompetency, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to the distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge Stillwater National from all liability with respect to such benefit.

6. Trust. Prior to or simultaneously with any Transaction and within ten calendar days of any other Change in Control, unless and to the extent the Executive has previously provided a written release of any claims under this Plan, Stillwater National shall establish a valid trust under the law of the State of Oklahoma with an independent trustee that has or may be granted corporate trust powers under Oklahoma law, deposit in such trust an amount equal to 200% of the Plan Account balance immediately prior to the establishment of the Trust, and provide the Trustee of the Trust with a written direction to invest such amount in securities supported by the full faith and credit of the United States except for amounts held in one or more deposit accounts as needed on a short-term basis to pay amounts due to the Executive or his Beneficiary as provided below, to hold said amount and any investment return thereon in a segregated account, and to pay such amounts due to the Executive (or upon his death, his Beneficiary) under this Plan. Upon the final payment of all amounts due to the Executive or his Beneficiary under this Plan, the Trustee of the Trust shall pay to Stillwater National the entire balance, if any, remaining in the Trust. Payments from the Trust to the Executive shall be considered payments made by Stillwater National for purposes of this Agreement. Payment of such amounts to the Executive from the Trust, however, shall not relieve Stillwater National from any obligation to pay amounts in excess of those paid from the Trust, or from any obligation to take actions or refrain from taking actions otherwise required by this Plan. In no event may the Trust invest in securities or obligations issued by Stillwater National or any of its Affiliates or successors. Stillwater National shall have no right or power to direct the Trustee to return or divert any of the Trust assets before all payments of benefits have been made. Stillwater National shall pay all fees and expenses of the Trust, including, without limitation, Trustee fees, and all income taxes on earnings of the Trust from its assets outside of the Trust. In the event that Stillwater National shall not provide the earnings rate referred to under Section 3(c) hereof, the Trustee shall calculate such rate based upon reports of condition furnished by Stillwater National to its primary federal banking regulator or upon other publicly available reports. The Executive’s and his Beneficiary’s rights under this Plan shall be those of a general, unsecured creditor, he shall have no claim against the assets of the Trust, and the assets of the Trust shall be considered general assets of Stillwater National subject to the claims of creditors of Stillwater National in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency.

7. No Effect on Profit Sharing Plan. This Plan has no effect upon benefits under or the terms of the Profit Sharing Plan.

8Forfeiture or Suspension of Plan Benefits.

(a) In General. The Executive shall completely forfeit any and all rights to any and all benefits under this Plan upon his Termination for Just Cause or his voluntary termination without Good Reason.

(b) Competition. Regardless of anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of a termination of employment by Stillwater National without Just Cause, a termination of employment by the Executive with Good Reason, or with the permission of Stillwater National, if the Executive shall, during the two years immediately following the Executive’s termination of employment, serve as an officer or director or employee of any bank holding company, bank, savings association, savings and loan holding company, or mortgage company (any of which, a “Financial Institution”) which Financial Institution offers products or services competing with those offered by the Bank from offices in any county in the Primary Market Area, or shall interfere with the relationship of Stillwater National and any of its employees, agents, or representatives, then the Committee shall direct that any unpaid balance of any payments to the Executive under this Agreement be suspended, and shall thereupon notify the Executive of such suspension, in writing. Thereupon, if the Committee shall determine that such behavior by the executive exists at any time after a period of one month following notification of such suspension, all rights of the Executive and his Beneficiary under this Plan, including rights to any and all further payments hereunder, shall thereupon terminate.

(c) Certain Regulatory Events. If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of Stillwater National’s affairs by an order issued under Sections 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of Stillwater National under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected. If Stillwater National is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of FDIA), all obligations of Stillwater National under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected. If a notice served under Sections 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)) suspends and/or temporarily prohibits the Executive from participating in the conduct of Stillwater National’s affairs, Stillwater National’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of such service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, Stillwater National may, in its discretion, (i) pay the Executive all or part of the contributions or payments withheld while its contract obligations were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

9. Termination. Stillwater National may terminate this Plan only upon termination of the Profit Sharing Plan or with the Agreement of the Executive. No termination of the Plan shall directly or indirectly reduce the balance of the Plan Account as of the effective date of such termination. Upon termination of the Plan, distribution of the Plan Account in accordance with Section amounts credited to such account shall be made to the Executive or his or her Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4. No contributions will be credited to the Plan Account after termination of the Plan, but earnings will continue to be credited to the Plan Account until all amounts are distributed to the Executive or his Beneficiary.

10. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma, except to the extent that federal law shall be deemed to apply.

11. Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding upon Stillwater National’s successors

12. Amendments. No amendments or additions to this Plan shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by all of the parties, except as herein otherwise specifically provided.

13. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

14. Headings. Headings contained herein are for convenience of reference only.

ARTICLE II
BENEFITS

  2.1   Designation of Participants. The Participants shall be those employees of Southwest or its Affiliates listed on Exhibit A and others designated by the Board or the Committee from time to time as Participants in the Plan.

  2.2   Severance Compensation.

  (a)   Upon the Qualifying Termination of Service of any Participant, the terminated Participant shall be entitled to severance compensation equal to the percentage of the Participant’s Annual Earnings designated on Exhibit A or by the Board or the Committee at the time the employee is selected for participation in the Plan, but in no event greater than the greater of the following amounts, for the year in which the Qualifying Termination of Employment occurs: (i) 150% of a Participant’s Annual Earnings, or (ii) or the amount which would be deductible by the Southwest Companies under Code Section 280(G), after taking into consideration all payments to such Participant covered by such section. The severance compensation shall be paid to the Participant by its Principal Employer in a single, lump sum payment promptly after Participant’s Qualifying Termination of Service if permitted by Section 2.4(a). However, if the Participant is a Specified Employee and the severance compensation is excess compensation as described in Section 2.4(b), a later, additional lump sum payment shall be made under Section 2.4(b). All payments of severance benefits shall be reduced by the amount of applicable Federal, State, and local withholding taxes, and FICA and FUTA taxes.

  (b)   If the Principal Employer of a Participant designated by the Board or the Committee has not executed this Plan, any obligation to that Participant under this Plan not paid by Affiliates of Southwest shall be paid by Southwest.

  2.3   No Funding or Payments. All compensation due a Participant under this Plan is unfunded and unsecured and is payable out of general funds of the respective Southwest Company or Companies.

  2.4   Timing of Payments.

  (a)   Severance compensation that does not constitute excess compensation as described in (b) shall be paid promptly after, and in no event later than 30 days after, Participant’s Qualifying Termination of Service.

  (b)   If the Participant is a Specified Employee, then severance compensation that constitutes excess compensation as described in this subsection shall not be paid until six months after the Participant’s Qualifying Termination of Service or, if earlier, the date of death. Excess compensation is the portion of severance compensation that exceeds two times the lesser of (i) the Participant’s annualized Earnings for the Participant’s taxable year preceding the year in which termination occurs (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely absent termination of service), and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the year in which termination occurs.

  (c)   If severance compensation is not paid within thirty (30) days of the Qualifying Termination of Service, there shall be paid, in addition to such amount, interest on the amount due at a rate of 5% in excess of the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal-Southwest Edition from time to time (or at the highest of such rates if a range is published) from the date which is thirty (30) days following the Qualifying Termination of Service to the date of payment.

ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

  3.1   Plan Administration Authority and Claims Procedures.

  (a)   Section 409A Compliance. The parties hereto intend that this Plan shall comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as added by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and related Internal Revenue Service regulations and other guidance (collectively, “§ 409A”). The Committee’s and the Board’s authority under subsection (b) shall be exercised in a manner consistent with § 409A.

  (b)   Committee and Board Authority. The Committee shall have authority to administer the Plan. In the absence at any time of a duly appointed Committee, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. Except as limited by the express provisions of the Plan or by resolutions adopted by the Board, the Committee’s authority includes the following:

  (1)   authority to delegate Plan administration functions to employees of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. or Affiliates or other agents;

  (2)   authority to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;

  (3)   authority to determine eligibility for benefits, amount and payment of benefit claims and resolution of claim disputes as provided in subsection (c).

In administering the Plan, the Committees has full discretionary authority to make factual determinations, to construe the terms of the Plan, to determine compliance with § 409A and to otherwise interpret the Plan (including ambiguous provisions). The Committee’s decisions shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all parties, except where (i) Plan terms state that a Committee decision is ministerial, or (ii) where a benefit claimant timely appeals from a Committee decision under subsection (c), in which case the ultimate decision on appeal shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all parties, subject only to judicial review.

  (c)   Benefit Claims. The Committee shall be responsible for determining all claims for benefits under this Plan. Within ninety (90) days after receiving a claim, the Committee shall notify a Participant of its decision. If the decision is adverse to the Participant, the Committee shall advise him or her of the reasons for the decision, of the Plan provision involved, of any additional information the Participant must provide to perfect the claim and of the right to request a review of the decision. Regardless, an individual member of the Committee shall not participate in a decision on his or her own benefit claim.

A Participant may request a review of an adverse Committee decision by written request, made within sixty (60) days after receipt of the decision, submitted to the Board. The Participant or his attorney may review pertinent documents and submit written issues and comments. Within sixty (60) days after receiving a request for review, the Board shall notify the Participant in writing of (a) its decision, (b) the reasons therefor, and (c) the Plan provisions upon which it is based.

In the event the Participant continues to dispute the Board’s decision on appeal, the Participant is entitled to a second level of appeal by initiating mediation or arbitration or both, whichever the Participant elects. The Participant must begin a second level of appeal by submitting a written request for mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless the Participant wishes to decline mediation, in which case the Participant shall request only arbitration. If mediation is elected and does not resolve the dispute within sixty days of the written request for mediation, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration award is subject to judicial review to the same extent as a final discretionary decision by the Board would be subject to judicial review were it the final decision. In connection with such mediation and arbitration, the following rules shall apply: (a) any mediation shall be held in the city in which the Participant resides at the time of submission to mediation; (b) any mediation or arbitration shall be conducted by a single person who shall serve as both mediator and arbitrator; and (c) the costs of any mediation and arbitration shall be borne by the Principal Employer or, if the Principal Employer of a Participant designated by the Board or the Committee has not executed this Plan, any obligation to that Participant under this Plan for such costs not paid by Affiliates of Southwest shall be paid by Southwest.

  3.2   No Guarantee of Employment. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a contract of employment or be deemed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of any Southwest Company, or to interfere with the rights of any such employer to discharge any individual at any time, with or without cause. No severance compensation shall be payable hereunder as a result of any termination of employment occurring prior to a Change in Control.

  3.3   Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time, or from time to time, amend this Plan in any respect or terminate this Plan without restriction and without consent of any Participant or beneficiary, provided that any such amendment or termination shall not impair the rights of any Participant hereunder without the consent of such Participant. Once a Participant has been selected by the Board, this Plan shall constitute a contract between the Participant and the Southwest Company or Companies that employed participant at the later of the date of such selection or the Participant’s first day of employment thereafter by a Southwest Company.

  3.4   Non-Alienation of Benefits. No benefit payable hereunder may be assigned, pledged, mortgaged or hypothecated and, except to the extent required by applicable law, no such benefit shall be subject to legal process or attachment for the payment of any claims of a creditor of a Participant.

  3.5   Payment to Representatives. If any Participant dies after a Qualifying Termination of Service and before receipt of payment hereunder, the severance compensation otherwise due to such Participant shall be payable to Participant’s estate. If any individual entitled to receive any benefits hereunder is determined by the Committee or is adjudged to be legally incapable of giving valid receipt and discharge for such benefits, they shall be paid to the duly appointed and acting guardian, if any, and if no such guardian is appointed and acting, to such persons as the Committee may designate. Such payment shall, to the extent made, be deemed a complete discharge for such payments under this Plan.

  3.6   Governing Law. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed under the laws of the State of Oklahoma except as preempted by federal law.

  3.7   Titles and Headings. The titles to articles and headings of sections of this Plan are for convenience of reference and, in case of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles and headings, shall control.

  3.8   Legality. No Southwest Company shall have any obligation to make any payments under this plan to the extent such payments would be in violation of Section 18(k)(j) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or any other law or regulation directly applicable to the Southwest Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement this 27th day of December, 2007.
