                                 TERMS AND CONDITIONS

                                       TO THE

                             INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AWARD

                             PURSUANT TO THE ISLANDS BANCORP

                               2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 

 

     1.     EXERCISE OF OPTION.   Subject to the provisions provided herein or in

the Award made pursuant to the Islands Bancorp 2002 Stock Incentive Plan:

 

           (a)    the Option may be exercised with respect to all or any portion

     of the vested Option Shares at any time during the Option Period by the

     delivery to the Company, at its principal place of business, of a written

      notice of exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1,

     which shall be actually delivered to the Company no earlier than thirty

     (30) days and no later than ten (10) days prior to the date upon which

     Optionee desires to exercise all or any portion of the Option; and

 

           (b)    payment to the Company of the Exercise Price multiplied by the

     number of Option Shares being purchased (the "Purchase Price") as provided

     in Section 3.

 

           (c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the

     event that the capital of the Company falls below the minimum requirements

     determined by the primary federal regulator of the Company (the

     "Regulator"), the Regulator may direct the Company to require the Optionee

     to exercise, or otherwise forfeit, the Option in whole or in part.   If the

     Regulator gives such direction, the Company will notify the Optionee within

     forty-five (45) days from the date the Regulator notifies the Company in

     writing that the Optionee must exercise, or otherwise forfeit, the Option

     in whole or in part.   If the Optionee does not exercise the Option in

     accordance with the Company's direction within twenty-one (21) days of the

     Company's notification to the Optionee, the Committee may provide for the

     cancellation of the Option.

 

Upon acceptance of such notice and receipt of payment in full of the Purchase

Price and, if applicable, any withholding taxes, the Company shall cause to be

issued a certificate representing the Option Shares purchased.

 

     2.     WITHHOLDING.   To the extent the Option is deemed to be a Non-

Qualified Stock Option in accordance with Section 18 hereof, the Optionee must

satisfy his federal, state and local, if any, withholding taxes imposed by

reason of the exercise of the Option either by paying to the Company the full

amount of the withholding obligation (i) in cash; (ii) by tendering shares of

Common Stock which have been owned by the Optionee for at least six (6) months

prior to the date of exercise having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the

Plan) equal to the withholding obligation; (iii) by electing, irrevocably and

in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit 2 (the "Withholding Election"),

to have the smallest number of whole shares of Common Stock withheld by the

Company which, when multiplied by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan)

of the Common Stock as of the date the Option is exercised, is sufficient to

satisfy the amount of minimum required withholding tax obligations; or (iv) by

any combination of the above.   Optionee may make a Withholding Election only if

the following conditions are met:  

 

 

                                           2

<PAGE>

           (a)    the Withholding Election is made on or prior to the date on

     which the amount of tax required to be withheld is determined (the "Tax

     Date") by executing and delivering to the Company a properly completed

     Notice of Withholding in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit

     2; and

 

           (b)    any Withholding Election will be irrevocable; however, the

     Committee (as defined in the Plan) may, in its sole discretion, disapprove

     and give no effect to the Withholding Election.

 

     3.     PURCHASE PRICE.   Payment of the Purchase Price for all Option Shares

purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made in cash or

certified check or, if and when the Common Stock becomes traded by brokers,

whether on a national securities exchange or otherwise, by receipt of the

Purchase Price in cash from a broker, dealer or other "creditor" as defined by

Regulation T issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

following delivery by the Optionee to the Committee of instructions in a form

acceptable to the Committee regarding delivery to such broker, dealer or other

creditor of that number of Option Shares with respect to which the Option is

exercised.

 

     4.     RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.   Until the stock certificates reflecting the

Option Shares accruing to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option are issued to

the Optionee, the Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to

such Option Shares.   The Company shall make no adjustment for any dividends or

distributions or other rights on or with respect to Option Shares for which the

record date is prior to the issuance of that stock certificate, except as the

Plan or the attached Award otherwise provides.

 

     5.     RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OF OPTION AND OF OPTION SHARES.   The Option

evidenced hereby is nontransferable other than by will or the laws of descent

and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionee

only by the Optionee (or in the event of his Disability, by his personal

representative) and after his death, only by his legatee or the executor of his

estate.

 

     6.     CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

 

           (a)    If the number of shares of Common Stock shall be increased or

     decreased by reason of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common

     Stock, the payment of a stock dividend in shares of Common Stock or any

     other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock

     outstanding effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, an

     appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee, in a manner

     determined in its sole discretion, in the number and kind of Option Shares

     and in the Exercise Price.

 

           (b)    If the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any

     merger, consolidation, reorganization, extraordinary dividend, spin-off, or

     other change in capital structure of the Company or its Common Stock, the

     Optionee shall be entitled to purchase the number and class of securities

     to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the

     Option at the time of the transaction would have been entitled to receive

     as a result of such transaction, and a corresponding adjustment, where

     appropriate, shall be made in the Exercise Price.   In the event of a Change

     in Control or other corporate transaction pursuant to which the Company is

     not the surviving entity, the Committee may provide for the assumption of

     the Option by the surviving entity or the substitution of a new option,

     adjusted in a manner similar to that contemplated by the immediately

     preceding sentence; however, if the surviving entity does not agree to the

     assumption or substitution of the Option, the Committee may elect to

     terminate the Option Period as of the effective date of the Change in

     Control in consideration of the payment to the Optionee of the sum of the

     difference between the then Fair Market Value of the Common Stock and the

     Exercise Price for each vested Option Share which has not been exercised as

     of the effective date of the Change in Control.   A dissolution or

     liquidation of the Company shall cause the Option to terminate as to any

     portion thereof not exercised as of the effective date of the dissolution

     or liquidation.

 

 

                                           3

<PAGE>

           (c)    The existence of the Plan and the Option granted pursuant to

     this Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or power of the

     Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification,

     reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any

     merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity

     securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the

     rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or

     transfer of all or any part of its business or assets, or any other

     corporate act or proceeding. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section may

     provide, in the Committee's discretion, for the elimination without payment

     therefor of any fractional shares that might otherwise become subject to

     any Option.

 

     7.     SPECIAL LIMITATION ON EXERCISE.   No purported exercise of the Option

shall be effective without the approval of the Committee, which may be withheld

to the extent that the exercise, either individually or in the aggregate

together with the exercise of other previously exercised stock options and/or

offers and sales pursuant to any prior or contemplated offering of securities,

would, in the sole and absolute judgment of the Committee, require the filing

of a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange

Commission or with the securities commission of any state.   If a registration

statement is not in effect under the Securities Ac
