EXHIBIT C

Equity Award Program for Founding FUBC NEOs

 1. Annual equity award opportunity:
     A. Each founding NEO will have an annual equity award “opportunity”
        equivalent to 50% of highest base compensation among the founding NEOs
        in the form of stock grants with 10 year vesting, awarded at fair market
        value as of the close of business on the last business day of February
        in the calendar year immediately following the fiscal year in question
        (provided, however, that if the Company's Form 10-K is not yet filed
        with the SEC as of such last business day, then the valuation date shall
        be the seventh (7th) day after the date on which such Form 10-K is filed
        by the Company with the SEC), conditional upon the attainment of certain
        performance measures defined below

 2. Corporate Performance Measures (100%):

I.Financial Performance (75%)

a.Relative 3 year Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) in relation to the Benchmark
Group (20% of the 75%) (Goal is 100% or more of Benchmark Group)

b.Adjusted pre-tax net income budget achievement (30% of the 75%)

c.Non-performing asset/asset ratio to Benchmark Group mean (uncovered assets) –
(20% weight of the 75%) (Goal is 100% or less of Benchmark Group average for the
four quarters ended Q3)

d.Net interest margin compared to Benchmark Group mean (20% weight of the 75%)
(Goal is 100% or more of Benchmark Group average ratio at September 30)

e.Efficiency ratio to Benchmark Group mean (10% weight of the 75%) (Goal is 100%
or less of Benchmark Group average ratio for the four quarters ended Q3)

II.Operational Performance (25%)

a.Annual Bank Safety and Soundness Examination rating for calendar year (75%
weight of the 25%) (Goal will be established each year by the Compensation
Committee)

b.Specialty area examination results FDIC Loss Share, BSA, CRA, IT (25% weight
of the 25%) (Goal will be established each year by the Compensation Committee)

 3. Measurement Method:

The NEO’s score is determined by calculating the percent achievement for each of
the Corporate Performance and Individual Performance factors.

 4. Example: The FUBC CEO and 1st United Bank President and CEO earned $350,000
    as a base salary and therefore had a $175,000 annual equity award
    opportunity.

I.Financial Performance – 75% weight (or $131,250 in stock grant value
opportunity)

 

 

a.Relative 3 year TSR Achievement – 20% weighted (Example: 1st United Bancorp
achieves 100% of TSR against Benchmark group x 20% - opportunity = $26,250)

b.Pre-tax Net Income Budget achievement – 30% weight (Example: 1st United
Bancorp achieves 85% of fiscal year budget goal x 30% of opportunity =$33,468).
The Company’s consolidated net income before taxes for each such fiscal year
shall be defined as excluding extraordinary items as defined in APB #30 (or any
successor bulletin) and excluding restructuring charges and other integration
and reorganization expenses and charges relating to mergers, acquisitions or
transactions of similar effect for financial reporting purposes.  If pre-tax net
income for a given fiscal year is less than 50% of budget, the executives will
earn no equity award opportunity for this budget achievement component.

c.NPA/Asset ratio to Benchmark Group – 20% weight (Goal is 100% or less of
Benchmark Group average for the four quarters ended Q3) Example: 1st United
Bancorp achieves NPA/Asset ratio for four quarters ended Q3 that meets goal
therefore 20% of opportunity =$26,250).

d.NIM compared to Benchmark Group – 20% weight (Goal is 100% or more of
Benchmark Group average ratio at September 30) Example: 1st United Bancorp
achieves NIM goal therefore 20% of opportunity =$26,250).

e.Efficiency ratio to Benchmark Group – 10% weight (Goal is 100% or less of
Benchmark Group average ratio for the four quarters ended Q3). Example: 1st
United Bancorp achieves 110% of Benchmark average ratio for the four quarters
ended Q3 therefore scores 90% of goal x 10% of opportunity =$11,813).

II.Operational Performance (25% or $43,750 in stock grant value)

a.Annual Bank Safety and Soundness Examination rating - 75% weight. Example: If
the goal in a particular year is a composite 2 rating, and 1st United Bank
achieves a composite 3, then $0; if a 2 = $32,813).

b.Specialty area examination results (25% weight) for any and all of the
following specialty examinations: FDIC Loss Share, BSA, CRA, IT (e.g., the score
would be an equal weight to each of the specialty compliance exam scores (if all
three are examined and goal achieved on each = $10,938). Note: If no specialty
exams occur then 100% of the Operational Performance measures will rest on the
outcome of the full annual safety and soundness examination).
