 EXHIBIT A 
 SILVER STATE BANCORP 
 2008 OMNIBUS
EQUITY PLAN 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

General Terms and Conditions 
 Section 1. Option Size and Type. The number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Shares”), that have been optioned to you under the Silver State Bancorp 2008 Omnibus Equity Plan (the
“Plan”) is specified in this Stock Option Agreement. If the “Option Type” shown for your stock option is “ISO”, then your stock option has been designed with the intent that it qualify to the maximum permissible extent
for the special tax benefits applicable to incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If the “Option Type” shown for your stock options is “NQSO”, then incentive stock option tax treatment is not applicable.

 Section 2. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price for your stock options is the price per Share at which you may
acquire the Shares that have been optioned to you and is specified in this Stock Option Agreement. As a general rule, the Exercise Price for your stock options will not change unless there is a stock split, stock dividend, merger or other major
corporate event that justifies an adjustment. 
 Section 3. Vesting. 
 (a) Earliest Exercise Date. You may not exercise your stock options until they are vested. The date on which your stock
options become vested is specified in this Stock Option Agreement as the Earliest Exercise Date. As a general rule, you must be in the service of the Company on an Earliest Exercise Date in order to be vested in the stock options that vest on that
date. You may acquire the Shares that have been optioned to you by exercising your stock options at any time during the period beginning on the Earliest Exercise Date and continuing until the applicable Option Expiration Date, by completing and
filing the Notice of Exercise of Stock Option that is attached to this Stock Option Agreement as Appendix A and by following the procedures outlined therein. 
 (b) Forfeitures. If you terminate service with the Company prior to an Earliest Exercise Date, you will forfeit any stock
options that are scheduled to vest on that date. When you forfeit stock options, you relinquish any and all rights that you have to acquire the Shares that were optioned to you. 
 (c) Accelerated Vesting. Your outstanding stock options that have not previously vested will become fully and immediately
vested, without any further action on your part, in the event of a Change in Control that occurs before your termination of service with the Company. If vesting accelerates, the accelerated vesting date will be the applicable Earliest Exercise Date.

 Section 4. Option Expiration Date. To derive any benefit from your stock options, you must exercise them during
the period that begins on the applicable Earliest Exercise Date and ends on the Option Expiration Date. The Option Expiration Date for your stock options is specified in this Stock Option Agreement. Your Option Expiration Date may be accelerated in
the event of your termination of service with the Company. Your stock options will expire on the earliest of (i) the Option Expiration Date, (ii) three months after your termination of service with the Company for any reason other than
death or Termination for Cause (as defined in the Plan); (iii) one year after your termination of service due to death; and (iv) the date and time of your Termination for Cause. 
 Note: To qualify for the favorable tax treatment accorded to incentive stock options, you (or, in the event of your death, your estate or
designated beneficiaries) must exercise any stock options that are designated as ISOs within three months after you terminate service as a common-law employee of the Company and its affiliates for any reason other than death or disability and within
one year after you terminate service as common-law employee due to your death or disability. If they are exercised later, they will be subject to tax as if they were designated as NQSOs. 
 Section 5. Amendment. This Stock Option Agreement may be amended, in whole or in part and in any manner not inconsistent with
the provisions of the Plan, at any time and from time to time, by written agreement between the Company and you. 
 Section 6.
Plan Provisions Control. This Stock Option Agreement and the rights and obligations created hereunder shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and
the provisions of this Stock Option Agreement, the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, shall control. Capitalized terms in this Stock Option Agreement have the meaning defined in the Plan, as amended from time to time,
unless stated otherwise. By signing this Stock Option Agreement, you acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan.

	WITHHOLDING ELECTIONS	 	For Employee Option Recipients with Non-Qualified Stock Options only. Beneficiaries should not complete. 

 I understand that I am responsible for the amount of federal, state and local taxes required to be
withheld with respect to the Shares to be issued to me pursuant to this Notice, but that I may request Silver State Bancorp to retain or sell a sufficient number of such Shares to cover the amount to be withheld. I hereby request that any taxes
required to be withheld be paid in the following manner [check one]: 
  

															
			
		 	  ̈        
	 	With a certified or bank check that I will deliver to Silver State Bancorp on the day after the Effective Date of my Option exercise.
			
		 	  ̈        
	 	With the proceeds from a sale of Shares that would otherwise be distributed to me.
			
		 	 ̈	 	Retain shares that would otherwise be distributed to me and that have a value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld by law.

 I understand that the withholding elections I have made on this form are not binding on the
Compensation Committee, and that the Compensation Committee will decide the amount to be withheld and the method of withholding and advise me of its decision prior to the Effective Date. I further understand that the Compensation Committee may
request additional information or assurances regarding the manner and time at which I will report the income attributable to the distribution to be made to me. I further understand that if I have elected to have Shares sold to satisfy tax
withholding, I may be asked to pay a minimal amount of such taxes in cash in order to avoid the sale of more Shares than are necessary.

“cashless exercise”) or other disposition of Shares issued pursuant to this Notice and that I must consult with my own tax advisor regarding how and when such income will be reportable.
