RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

This TIME-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made this
______ day of ______________, 20__ between 1ST CONSTITUTION BANCORP, a New
Jersey corporation (the “Company”) and ___________________________ (the
“Participant”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined upon
their first usage shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Company’s 2019
Equity Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”).

1.    Grant of Time-Based Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to
the Participant time-based restricted stock units (the “RSUs”), pursuant to the
Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement as in
effect from time to time by and among the Company and the Participant. RSUs
granted under this Agreement are subject to time-based vesting. The RSU grant is
set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

2.    Incorporation by Reference of the Plan. The Plan is hereby incorporated by
reference into this Agreement. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a
copy of the Plan and represents and warrants to the Company that the Participant
has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Plan. The execution of
this Agreement by the Participant constitutes the Participant’s acceptance of
and agreement to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

3.    Vesting. Unless the Committee provides for earlier vesting, or unless
otherwise provided in any employment agreement or change in control agreement
between the Participant and the Company (or any subsidiary thereof), in which
case such agreement shall control, and subject to Sections 4 and 9 hereof, the
RSUs shall vest in accordance with the following schedule:

Percentage of Shares            Scheduled Vesting Date

[xx]%                First Anniversary of Award Date
[xx]%                Second Anniversary of Award Date
[xx]%                Third Anniversary of Award Date
[xx]%                Fourth Anniversary of Award Date

RSUs shall be converted to Stock, on a one to one basis, and shall be delivered
to the Participant within thirty days following the vesting date.

4.    Termination Provisions.

(a)    Termination of Employment Upon Death or Disability. Unless otherwise
provided in any employment agreement or change in control agreement between the
Participant and the Company (or any subsidiary thereof), in which case such
agreement shall control, upon termination of the Participant’s employment with
the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates by reason of death or disability
(as determined by the Committee), all unvested RSUs shall become vested. Such
vested RSUs shall be converted to Stock, on a one to one basis, and shall be
delivered to the Participant or his or her estate, as applicable, within thirty
days following such termination of employment. Notwithstanding the prior
sentence, payment shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh month
following termination of employment, if necessary to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

(b)    Termination of Employment For Other Reasons. Unless otherwise provided in
any employment agreement or change in control agreement between the Participant
and the Company (or any subsidiary thereof), in which case such agreement shall
control, upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or
its subsidiaries or affiliates for any reason (including, without limitation,
retirement), other than death or disability, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited
automatically and immediately.

5.    Tax Withholding Obligations. In order to satisfy any withholding or
similar tax requirements relating to the RSUs, the Company has the right to
deduct or withhold from any payroll or other payment to a Participant, or
require the Participant to remit to the Company, an appropriate payment or other
provision, which may include the withholding of Shares.

6.    Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in any employment agreement
or change in control agreement between the Participant and the Company (or any
subsidiary thereof), upon a Change in Control, if the successor entity assumes
this Agreement, RSUs will be subject to the provisions of Section 8(a)(iii) of
the Plan. If, upon a Change in Control, this Agreement is not assumed by the
successor entity, then RSUs will be subject to the provisions of Section 8(b) of
the Plan

7.    No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement will confer upon the
Participant any right to continued employment with the Company or its
subsidiaries or affiliates or affect the right of the Company to terminate the
employment of the Participant at any time for any reason.

8.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of laws, and applicable provisions of federal law.
