DIRECTORS STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 

As Amended and Restated

 

1.

Purpose and Plan Summary .

 

The Sun Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) Directors Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) offers a convenient and economical way for its directors and advisory directors to increase their ownership of shares of the Common Stock of Sun Bancorp, Inc. (“Common Stock”). Once a director or advisory director of the Company or Sun National Bank is enrolled as a Participant in the Plan, contributions of up to $2,000 per month may be made to the Plan and such funds will be used to purchase Common Stock under the terms of the Plan. Participation in the Plan is strictly voluntary, and the Participant will pay 95% of the purchase price of the Common Stock purchased under the Plan. The Participant pays no brokerage commissions or service charges for purchases made under the Plan. Any such charges will be paid by the Company.

 

2.

Administration .

 

The Company will serve as the Plan Administrator (“Plan Administrator”) to administer the Plan and to make purchases of Common Stock as agent for the Participants. The Board of Directors of the Company (“Board of Directors”) has the authority to make changes in the Plan and to appoint or to remove the Plan Administrator, at any time. Until changed by further notice, any notices or communications to the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Director Stock Purchase Plan, c/o Corporate Secretary, Sun Bancorp, Inc., 226 Landis Avenue, Vineland, New Jersey 08360.

 

If a director or advisory director decides to participate in the Plan, the Plan Administrator will keep a continuous record of his/her participation and send him/her a statement of his/her account under the Plan for each calendar month in which a purchase of Common Stock under his/her Plan account occurs. The Plan Administrator will also hold and act as custodian of shares purchased under the Plan. Certificates for shares purchased under the Plan will be held by the Plan Administrator. The number of shares credited to a Participant’s account under the Plan will be shown on his/her statement of account. However, certificates for whole shares credited to a Participant’s account under the Plan will be issued to him/her upon his/her written request to the Plan Administrator, at the address set forth above. Certificates for fractional share interests will not be issued.

 

The Plan Administrator reserves the right to interpret the provisions of the Plan. The Plan Administrator may establish such procedures and make such other provisions for the administration and operation of the Plan as it deems appropriate to give effect to the Plan’s purpose. The Plan Administrator may rely on the authority and correctness of written instructions received from the Company and Participants in administering the Plan.

 

3.

Eligibility .

 

All directors and advisory directors of the Company and its subsidiaries that, along with the Company, is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in section 1563 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), are eligible to participate in the Plan.

4.                     Election to Participate .

 

An eligible director or advisory director may join the Plan by completing the Authorization Form provided by the Plan Administrator and returning it to the Plan Administrator at the address noted at Section 2 herein. Authorization Forms will be furnished to eligible directors and advisory directors at any time upon request to the Company. An eligible director or advisory director may join the Plan at any time to become effective as of the first day of the next calendar month after the request is received by the Plan Administrator (the “Enrollment Date”).

 

5.

Participant Contributions.

 

The Authorization Form directs the Company to pay to the Plan Administrator the amount that the Participant elects to pay directly to the Company for investment in Common Stock under the Plan. The Authorization Form also directs the Plan Administrator to use these payments for the purchase of shares of the Common Stock.

 

After an Authorization Form has been received by the Plan Administrator, the Company will pay to the Plan Administrator all future payments received by the Company for participation under the Plan. The amounts paid by all Participants will be pooled and forwarded to the Plan Administrator to purchase shares of Common Stock for the accounts of all Participants under the Plan not less frequently than monthly prior to the next “Investment Period”. The “Investment Period” shall consist of the calendar month following each receipt of funds by the Plan Administrator, during which such funds are invested by the Plan Administrator in Common Stock of the Company. To the extent administratively feasible, such funds shall be invested on the first business day of each Investment Period, or as soon as practical thereafter. No interest will be paid by the Company or the Plan Administrator on amounts held on behalf of a Participant awaiting investment.

 

The Plan shall remain in effect for an indefinite period of time until the total shares purchased under the Plan equals the total shares of Common Stock authorized under the Plan or the Plan is terminated by the Company, whichever is earlier. Participant contributions may be made in even multiples of $5.00 from a minimum of $10.00 to a maximum of $2,000 per month. No interest will be paid on Participant contributions awaiting investment. The amount of a Participant’s contributions can be revised, changed or terminated by the Participant each month.

 

6.

Stock Purchase Price .

 

A Participant shall be granted an option to purchase Common Stock as of the last business day of each calendar month (“Option Grant Date”) at an option exercise price equal to 95% of the average purchase price of the Common Stock purchased during the Investment Period immediately following the Option Grant Date. Any fraction of a cent will be rounded to the nearest cent. Options granted hereunder shall be nontransferable.

 

7.

Number of Shares Purchased .

 

During each Investment Period, accumulated Participant contributions from all Participants and cash dividends held under the Plan for all Participants will be pooled and used to purchase shares of Common Stock in the open-market, or otherwise, for the accounts of the Participants. The Company shall transmit sufficient funds to the Plan Administrator in addition to accumulated Participant contributions and cash dividends necessary to permit the Plan Administrator to purchase Common Stock during each Investment Period without regard to any purchase price discounts in accordance with the Plan. The maximum number of whole shares will be purchased. Any Participant contributions and cash dividends

remaining after purchase of such maximum number of whole shares will be retained and applied to the purchase of shares during the next Investment Period. Each Participant’s account will be credited with his/her pro rata share (computed to four decimal places) of the shares purchased and any additional Participant contributions and cash dividends which have been accumulated. The number of shares credited to each Participant’s account will depend upon the amount of the Participant’s contributions and cash dividends and the option exercise price as determined as provided under the heading “Stock Purchase Price.”

 

8.

Fees and Expenses .

 

Participants will incur no brokerage commissions or service charges for purchases of Common Stock made under the Plan. Certain charges as described under the heading “Withdrawal” may be incurred upon a Participant’s withdrawal from the Plan or upon termination of the Plan. The Plan Administrator may deduct expenses from the Plan to the extent that such expenses have not been paid directly by the Company; provided that not less than 15 days written notice of such intent to make such deductions is furnished to the Company.

 

9.

Withdrawal and Distribution of Stock Certificates .

 

A Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time to be effective as of the first day of any calendar quarter (January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1) following receipt of such notice. Upon termination of service with the Company or its subsidiaries as a director or advisory director, participation under the Plan shall immediately cease and no unexercised options to purchase Common Stock under the Plan shall be deemed exercisable. Termination of service shall include termination as a result of death or disability of the Participant. Within 10 business days following a Participant’s termination of service with the Company or its subsidiaries, the Participant shall submit to the Plan Administrator a distribution form requesting withdrawal from the Plan and distribution of all of the Participant’s assets under the Plan either in the form of cash or whole shares of Common Stock. If such withdrawal request is not received by the Plan Administrator within 10 business days of the Participant’s termination of service with the Company or its subsidiaries, the Plan Administrator will nevertheless process such Participant withdrawal, and the Participant will receive such distribution in the form of shares of Common Stock issued in book entry.
