ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
FIRST SECURITY GROUP, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD

1.    Acknowledgement by Director of Tax Election Opportunity. Director
acknowledges that the award of the Restricted Shares constitutes a transfer of
property for federal income tax purposes under Section 83 of the Internal
Revenue Code and that the Director shall have the sole responsibility for
determining whether to elect early income tax treatment by making an election
permitted under Subsection (b) of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code and
the sole responsibility for effecting any such election in an appropriate and on
a timely basis; provided, however, that if Director makes an election permitted
under Subsection (b) of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code, Director is
required to provide a copy of such election to the Company within fifteen (15)
days of making such election or all Restricted Shares shall be forfeited.

2.    Restricted Shares Held by the Share Custodian. Director hereby authorizes
and directs the Company to deliver any share certificate issued by the Company
to evidence Restricted Shares to the Secretary of the Company or such other
officer of the Company as may be designated by the Committee (the “Share
Custodian”) to be held by the Share Custodian until the Restricted Shares become
Vested Shares or, if applicable, until forfeited, all in accordance with the
Vesting Schedule. Director hereby irrevocably appoints the Share Custodian, and
any successor thereto, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Director
with full power and authority to execute any stock transfer power or other
instrument necessary to transfer the Restricted Shares to the Company upon any
forfeiture of the Restricted Shares, in the name, place, and stead of the
Director. The term of such appointment shall commence on the Grant Date and
shall continue until the Restricted Shares are delivered to the Director as
provided above or returned to the Company for cancellation upon a forfeiture of
the Restricted Shares. Any shares of Common Stock or other securities issued
with respect to the Restricted Shares on account of an event described in
Section 6 below shall be subject to the provisions of this Award and the
Director agrees that any certificate representing such shares of Common Stock or
other securities issued as a result thereof shall be delivered to the Share
Custodian and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Award as if
initially granted hereunder. For purposes of this Award, such shares of Common
Stock also shall be deemed to be Restricted Shares. If the number of Vested
Shares includes a fraction of a share, neither the Company nor the Share
Custodian shall be required to deliver the fractional share to the Director, and
the Company shall pay the Director the amount determined by the Company to be
the estimated fair market value therefor. To effect the provisions of this
Section, the Director shall complete an irrevocable stock power in favor of the
Share Custodian in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

3.    Dividends and Voting. During the period that the Share Custodian holds the
Restricted Shares subject to Section 2 above, the Director shall be entitled to
all rights applicable to shares of Common Stock not so held, except as provided
in this Award. In that regard, but only as and when the Restricted Shares to
which the dividends or other distributions are attributable become Vested
Shares. Dividends paid on Restricted Shares will be held by the Company and
transferred to the Director, without interest, on such date as the Restricted
Shares become Vested

Additional Terms and Conditions – Page 1 of 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shares. Dividends or other distributions paid on Restricted Shares that are
forfeited shall be retained by the Company.

4.    Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Shares.

(a)    General Restrictions. Except as provided by this Award, the Director
shall not have the right to make or permit to exist any transfer or
hypothecation, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration,
voluntary or involuntary, of all or any part of any right, title or interest in
or to any Restricted Shares or Vested Shares. Any such disposition not made in
accordance with this Award shall be deemed null and void. The Company will not
recognize, or have the duty to recognize, any disposition not made in accordance
with the Plan and this Award, and any Restricted Shares or Vested Shares so
transferred will continue to be bound by the Plan and this Award. The Director
(and any subsequent holder of Restricted Shares or Vested Shares) may not sell,
pledge or otherwise directly or indirectly transfer (whether with or without
consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law)
any interest in or any beneficial interest in any Restricted Shares or Vested
Shares except pursuant to the provisions of this Award. Any sale, pledge or
other transfer (or any attempt to effect the same) of any Restricted Shares or
Vested Shares in violation of any provision of the Plan or this Award shall be
void, and the Company shall not record such transfer, assignment, pledge or
other disposition on its books or treat any purported transferee of such
Restricted Shares or Vested Shares as the owner of such Restricted Shares or
Vested Shares for any purpose.

(b)    Certain Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this Section 4
will not apply with respect to transfers of the Restricted Shares pursuant to
applicable laws of descent and distribution; provided that the restrictions
contained in this Section 4 will continue to be applicable to the Restricted
Shares after any such transfer; and provided further that the transferees of
such Restricted Shares must agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of
the Plan and this Award.

5.    Additional Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)    In addition to any legends required under applicable securities laws, the
certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall be endorsed with the
following legend and the Director shall not make any transfer of the Restricted
Shares without first complying with the restrictions on transfer described in
such legend:

TRANSFER IS RESTRICTED

TRANSFER AND FORFEITURE PROVISIONS WHICH ALSO APPLY TO THE TRANSFEREE AS SET
FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD, DATED ______________, 201__, A COPY OF WHICH
IS AVAILABLE FROM THE COMPANY.

Additional Terms and Conditions – Page 2 of 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Opinion of Counsel. No holder of Restricted Shares or Vested Shares may
sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of (whether with or without
consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law)
any interest in or any beneficial interest in any Restricted Shares or Vested
Shares, except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), without first
delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form
and substance to the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under
the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is required in
connection with such transfer.

6.    Change in Capitalization.

(a)    The number and kind of Restricted Shares shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common
Stock resulting from a subdivision or combination of shares or the payment of a
stock dividend in shares of Common Stock to holders of outstanding shares of
Common Stock or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding if effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.
No fractional shares shall be issued in making such adjustment.

(b)    In the event of a corporate event or transaction involving the Company
(as contemplated by Article 10 if the Plan), the Committee may make an
appropriate adjustment with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the
substitution of other securities or property or cash for the Common Stock held
by the Director pursuant to this Award.

(c)    All adjustments made by the Committee under this Section shall be final,
binding and conclusive on the Director.

(d)    The existence of the Plan and this Award shall not affect 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 part
of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

7.    Governing Laws. This Award shall be construed, administered and enforced
according to the laws of the State of Tennessee; provided, however, no
Restricted Shares shall be issued except, in the reasonable judgment of the
Committee, in compliance with exemptions under applicable state securities laws
of the state in which the Director resides, and/or any other applicable
securities laws.

8.    Compliance with Applicable Law. This Award is intended to comply with all
applicable Federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations, including but
not limited to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

communications under this Award shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have

States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the
proposed recipient at the last known address of the recipient. Any party may

the address to the other parties in the same manner as provided herein.

portion thereof contained in this Award shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate
or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Award, and this Award shall be
construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion
thereof had never been contained herein.

12.    Entire Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this
Award expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter. This Award may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

13.    Violation. Any disposition of the Restricted Shares or any portion
thereof shall be a violation of the terms of this Award and shall be void and
without effect.

14.    Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default
in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Award, the
party or parties who are thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific
performance and injunction in addition to any and all other rights and remedies
at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

15.    No Right to Continued Retention. Neither the establishment of the Plan
nor the award of Restricted Shares hereunder shall be construed as giving
Director the right to any continued service relationship with the Company or any
affiliate of the Company.

16.    Headings and Capitalized Terms. Paragraph headings used herein are for
convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this
Award. Capitalized terms used in this Award shall be given the meaning ascribed

beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of voting securities of the Company, whether
from the Company or from existing holders of capital stock of the Company, where

the Company Group. For purposes of this Section 16(d)(a), the term “Permitted

of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation
or recapitalization do not, immediately thereafter, own fifty percent (50%) or
more of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors
of the reorganized, merged, consolidated or recapitalized entity’s then
outstanding voting securities, excluding any such transaction involving an
entity which immediately before such transaction was controlling, controlled by,
