<PAGE>
                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                                     TO THE
                        NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD
             PURSUANT TO THE SOUTHEASTERN BANK FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                            2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


     1.     Exercise of Option.  Subject to the provisions provided herein or in
            ------------------
the  Award  made  pursuant  to  the Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation 2006
Long-Term  Incentive Plan the Option may be exercised with respect to all or any
portion  of  the  vested  Option Shares at any time during the Option Period by:

          (a)     the delivery to  the Bank, at its principal place of business,
     of  a  written  notice  of  exercise  in  substantially  the  form attached
     hereto  as  Exhibit  1,  which  shall  be actually delivered to the Bank no
                 -------  -
     earlier  than  thirty  (30)  days  and no later than ten (10) days prior to
     the  date upon which Optionee desires to exercise all or any portion of the
     Option;

          (b)     payment  to  the  Bank of the Exercise Price multiplied by the
     number  of Option Shares being purchased (the "Purchase Price") as provided
     in  Section  3;  and

          (c)     satisfaction  of the withholding tax obligations under Section
     2.

          (d)     Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this Award, in the
     event  that  the  capital  of the Bank falls below the minimum requirements
     determined  by the primary federal regulator of the Bank (the "Regulator"),
     the  Regulator  may direct the Bank to require the Optionee to exercise, or
     otherwise  forfeit,  the Option in whole or in part. If the Regulator gives
     such  direction,  the  Bank will notify the Optionee within forty-five (45)
     days  from  the  date  the  Regulator notifies the Bank in writing that the
     Optionee  must  exercise,  or  otherwise forfeit, the Option in whole or in
     part.  If  the Optionee does not exercise the Option in accordance with the
     Bank's  direction within twenty-one (21) days of the Bank's notification to
     the Optionee, the Committee may provide for the cancellation of the Option.

Upon  acceptance  of  such notice and receipt of payment in full of the Purchase
Price  and,  if  applicable,  any  withholding taxes, the Bank shall cause to be
issued  a  certificate  representing  the  Option  Shares  purchased.

     2.     Withholding.  The  Optionee  must  satisfy  his  federal,  state and
            -----------
local, if any, withholding taxes imposed by reason of the exercise of the Option
either  by  paying to the Bank the full amount of the withholding obligation (a)
in  cash;  (b) by electing, irrevocably and in writing in substantially the form
of  Exhibit  2  (a  "Withholding Election") to (i) tender shares of Common Stock
which  have  been owned by the Optionee for at least six (6) months prior to the
date of exercise having a Fair Market Value equal to the withholding obligation;
or (ii) have the smallest number of whole shares of Common Stock withheld by the
Bank  which,  when multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of
the date the Option is exercised, is sufficient to satisfy the amount of minimum
required  withholding  tax  obligations; or (c) by any combination of the above.
Optionee  may  make  a Withholding Election only if the following conditions are
met:

          (i)     the  Withholding  Election  is made on or prior to the date on
     which  the  amount  of  tax  required  to  be  withheld  is determined (the
     "Tax  Date")  by  executing and delivering to the Bank a properly completed
     Notice  of Withholding in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
                                                                         -------
     2;  and
     -


<PAGE>
          (ii)     any Withholding Election will  be  irrevocable;  however, the
     Committee may, in its sole discretion, disapprove and give no effect to the
     Withholding  Election.

     3.     Purchase Price.  Payment of the Purchase Price for all Option Shares
            --------------
purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made:

          (a)     in  cash  or  certified  check;

          (b)     by  tendering  previously acquired shares of Common Stock held
     for  no  less  than  six  (6)  months  having  a Fair Market Value equal to
     the  Purchase  Price;

          (c)     any combination of (a) or (b); or

          (d)     by receipt of the Purchase Price in cash from a broker, dealer
     or  other  "creditor"  as  defined  by  Regulation T issued by the Board of
     Governors  of the Federal Reserve System following delivery by the Optionee
     to  the  Committee  of  instructions  in a form acceptable to the Committee
     regarding  delivery to such broker, dealer or other creditor of that number
     of  Option  Shares  with  respect  to  which  the  Option  is  exercised.

     4.     Rights  as Shareholder.  Until the stock certificates reflecting the
            ----------------------
Option Shares accruing to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option are issued to
the Optionee, the Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to
such  Option  Shares.  The  Bank  shall  make no adjustment for any dividends or
distributions  or other rights on or with respect to Option Shares for which the
record  date  is  prior to the issuance of that stock certificate, except as the
Plan  or  the  attached  Award  otherwise  provides.

     5.     Restriction  on Transfer of Option and of Option Shares.  The Option
            -------------------------------------------------------
evidenced  hereby  is  nontransferable other than by will or the laws of descent
and  distribution  and  shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionee
only  by  the  Optionee  (or  in  the  event  of his Disability, by his personal
representative)  and after his death, only by his legatee or the executor of his
estate.

     6.     Changes  in  Capitalization.
            ---------------------------

          (a)     In  the  event  of  any  change  in  corporate capitalization,
     including,  but  not  limited  to,  a  stock  dividend or stock split, or a
     corporate  transaction,  such  as  any  merger,  consolidation, separation,
     including  a  spin-off,  or  other distribution of stock or property of the
     Bank,  any  reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within
     the  definition  of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or
     complete liquidation of the Bank, the Committee shall make an adjustment in
     the  number  and class of Option Shares, with a corresponding adjustment to
     the  Exercise  Price  (where  appropriate),  as  may  be  determined  to be
     appropriate  and  equitable  by  the  Committee, in its sole discretion, to
     prevent  dilution  or  enlargement  of rights. To the extent not previously
     exercised  or  settled, the Option shall terminate immediately prior to the
     dissolution  or  liquidation  of  the  Bank.

          (b)     In  the  event  that  the Bank is a party to a merger or other
     reorganization,  the  Option shall be subject to the agreement of merger or
     reorganization.  Such  agreement  shall  provide  for:

               (i)     The  continuation  of the Option by the Bank, if the Bank
          is  a  surviving  corporation;

               (ii)    The assumption of the Option by the surviving corporation
          or  its  parent  or  subsidiary;


<PAGE>
               (iii)    The  substitution  by  the  surviving corporation or its
          parent or subsidiary of its own award for the Option; or

               (iv)     Settlement  of  the  full value of the Option in cash or
          cash equivalents followed by cancellation of the Option.

          (c)     The  existence  of the Plan and the Option granted pursuant to
     this  Award  shall  not affect in any way the right or power of the Bank to
     make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other
     change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of
     the  Bank,  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  Bank,  any sale or transfer of all or any part of its
     business  or  assets,  or  any  other  corporate  act  or  proceeding.  Any
     adjustment  pursuant  to  this  Section  may  provide,  in  the Committee's
     discretion,  for the elimination without payment therefor of any fractional
     shares  that  might  otherwise  become  subject  to  any  Option.

     7.     Special Limitation on Exercise.  No purported exercise of the Option
            ------------------------------
shall  be effective without the approval of the Committee, which may be withheld
to  the  extent  that  the  exercise,  either  individually  or in the aggregate
together  with  the  exercise of other previously exercised stock options and/or
offers  and  sales pursuant to any prior or contemplated offering of securities,
would, in the sole and absolute judgment of the Committee, require the filing of
a  registration  statement  with  the  United  States  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  or  with  the  securities commission of any state. If a registration
statement  is  not  in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable
state  securities  law  with  respect  to  shares of Common Stock purchasable or
otherwise  deliverable  under  the Option, the Optionee (a) shall deliver to the
Bank,  prior  to the exercise of the Option or as a condition to the delivery of
Common  Stock  pursuant  to  the  exercise  of  an  Option,  such  information,
representations  and  warranties as the Bank may reasonably request in order for
the  Bank to be able to satisfy itself that the Option Shares are being acquired
in  accordance  with  the  terms  of an applicable exemption from the securities
registration  requirements  of  applicable federal and state securities laws and
(b) shall agree that the shares of Common Stock so acquired will not be disposed
of except pursuant to an effective registration statement, unless the Bank shall
have  received  an  opinion of counsel that such disposition is exempt from such
requirement under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities
law.

     8.     Legend  on  Stock  Certificates.  Certificates evidencing the Option
            -------------------------------
Shares, to the extent appropriate at the time, shall have noted conspicuously on
the  certificates  a  legend  intended  to  give  all persons full notice of the
existence  of  the  conditions,  restrictions,  rights and obligations set forth
herein  and  in  the  Plan.

     9.     Governing  Laws.  This  Award  and the Terms and Conditions shall be
            ---------------
construed,  administered  and  enforced  according  to  the laws of the State of
Georgia; provided, however, the Option may not be exercised except in compliance
with exemptions available under applicable state securities laws of the state in
which  the  Optionee  resides  and/or  any  other  applicable  securities  laws.

     10.     Successors.  This  Award  and  the  Terms  and  Conditions shall be
             ----------
binding  upon  and  inure  to  the  benefit of the heirs, legal representatives,
successors  and  permitted  assigns  of  the  Optionee  and  the  Bank.

     11.     Notice.  Except  as  otherwise  specified  herein,  all notices and
             ------
other communications under this Award shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have  been  given  if personally delivered or if sent by registered or certified
United  States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the
proposed  recipient  at  the last known address of the recipient.  Any party may
designate  any  other  address  to


<PAGE>
which notices shall be sent by giving notice of the address to the other parties
in  the  same  manner  as  provided  herein.

     12.     Severability.  In  the event that any one or more of the provisions
             ------------
or  portion  thereof contained in the Award and these Terms and Conditions 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 the
Award  and  these  Terms  and  Conditions,  and  the  Award  and these Terms and
Conditions  shall  be  construed  as  if  the  invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision  or  portion  thereof  had  never  been  contained  herein.

     13.     Entire Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
             ----------------
the  Award  and the Terms and Conditions express the entire understanding of the
parties  with  respect  to  the  Option.

     14.     Violation.  Except  as provided in Section 5, any transfer, pledge,
             ---------
sale, assignment, or hypothecation of the Option or any portion thereof shall be
a violation of the terms of the Award or these Terms and Conditions and shall be
void  and  without  effect.

     15.     Headings  and  Capitalized Terms.  Section headings used herein are
             --------------------------------
for  convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing the
Award  or  these Terms and Conditions.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined,
in  either  the  Award  or  the  Terms and Conditions shall be given the meaning
ascribed  to  them  in  the  Plan.

     16.     Specific  Performance.  In  the  event  of any actual or threatened
             ---------------------
default  in,  or  breach  of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Award  and  these  Terms  and  Conditions,  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.

     17.     No  Right to Continued Retention.  Neither the establishment of the
             --------------------------------
Plan  nor  the award of Option Shares hereunder shall be construed as giving the
Optionee  the  right  to  continued  employment  with the Bank or any Affiliate.

Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation
3530 Wheeler Road
Augusta, GA 30919
Attn: Chief Executive Officer

Re:  Exercise of Non-Qualified Stock Option

Gentlemen:

     Subject  to  acceptance  hereof  by Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation
(the  "Bank")  and pursuant to the provisions of the Southeastern Bank Financial
Corporation  2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), I hereby give notice of
my  election to exercise options granted to me to purchase ______________ shares
of  Common  Stock  of  the  Bank under the Non-Qualified Stock Option Award (the
"Award")  dated  as  of  ____________.  The  purchase  shall  take  place  as of
__________,  200__  (the  "Exercise  Date").

     On or before the Exercise Date, I will pay the applicable purchase price as
follows:

          [ ]  by delivery of cash or a certified check for $___________ for the
               full  purchase  price  payable  to the order of Southeastern Bank
               Financial  Corporation.

          [ ]  by  delivery  of  previously owned shares of Common Stock held no
               less  than six (6) months having a Fair Market Value equal to the
               purchase  price.

          [ ]  by  delivery  of the purchase price by _______________________, a
               broker,  dealer  or  other  "creditor" as defined by Regulation T
               issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. I
               hereby  authorize  the  Bank to issue a stock certificate for the
               number  of  shares  indicated  above  in the name of said broker,
               dealer  or other creditor or its nominee pursuant to instructions
               received  by  the  Bank  and  to  deliver  said stock certificate
               directly  to  that  broker,  dealer or other creditor (or to such
               other  party  specified  in the instructions received by the Bank
               from  the  broker,  dealer or other creditor) upon receipt of the
               purchase  price.  Note: This choice is available only if and when
               the  Common  Stock  becomes  traded  by  brokers.

     The  required federal, state, and local income tax withholding obligations,
if  any,  on  the  exercise of the Award shall be paid on or before the Exercise
Date in cash or with previously owned shares of Common Stock, as provided in the
Award, or in the manner provided in the Withholding Election previously tendered
or  to  be  tendered  to  the  Bank  no  later  then  the  Exercise  Date.


<PAGE>
     As  soon  as the stock certificate is registered in my name, please deliver
it  to  me  at  the  above  address.

     If  the  Common  Stock being acquired is not registered for issuance to and
resale  by  the Optionee pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form
S-8  (or successor form) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933  Act"),  I hereby represent, warrant, covenant, and agree with the Bank as
follows:

     The  shares  of  the  Common  Stock  being  acquired by me will be acquired
     for  my own account without the participation of any other person, with the
     intent of holding the Common Stock for investment and without the intent of
     participating,  directly  or  indirectly,  in  a distribution of the Common
     Stock  and  not  with  a  view  to,  or  for resale in connection with, any
     distribution  of  the  Common Stock, nor am I aware of the existence of any
     distribution  of  the  Common  Stock;

     I  am  not  acquiring  the  Common  Stock  based  upon  any representation,
     oral  or  written,  by  any  person with respect to the future value of, or
     income  from,  the  Common Stock but rather upon an independent examination
     and  judgment  as  to  the  prospects  of  the  Bank;

     The  Common  Stock  was not offered to me by means of publicly disseminated
     advertisements  or  sales  literature, nor am I aware of any offers made to
     other  persons  by  such  means;

     I  am  able  to  bear  the  economic  risks of the investment in the Common
     Stock,  including  the  risk  of  a complete loss of my investment therein;

     I  understand  and  agree  that  the  Common  Stock will be issued and sold
     to me without registration under any state law relating to the registration
     of  securities  for  sale,  and  will be issued and sold in reliance on the
     exemptions  from registration under the 1933 Act, provided by Sections 3(b)
     and/or  4(2)  thereof and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

     The  Common  Stock  cannot  be  offered for sale, sold or transferred by me
     other than pursuant to: (A) an effective registration under the 1933 Act or
     in  a  transaction  otherwise  in  compliance  with  the  1933 Act; and (B)
     evidence  satisfactory  to  the  Bank  of  compliance  with  the applicable
     securities  laws of other jurisdictions. The Bank shall be entitled to rely
     upon  an  opinion  of counsel satisfactory to it with respect to compliance
     with  the  above  laws;

     The  Bank  will  be  under  no  obligation  to register the Common Stock or
     to comply with any exemption available for sale of the Common Stock without
     registration  or  filing,  and  the  information or conditions necessary to
     permit  routine  sales  of  securities of the Bank under Rule 144 under the
     1933  Act  are not now available and no assurance has been given that it or
     they  will  become available. The Bank is under no obligation to act in any
     manner  so  as to make Rule 144 available with respect to the Common Stock;

     I  have  and  have  had  complete  access  to and the opportunity to review
     and  make  copies  of all material documents related to the business of the
     Bank,  including,  but not limited to, contracts, financial statements, tax
     returns, leases, deeds and other books and records. I have examined such of
     these  documents  as I wished and am familiar with the business and affairs
     of  the  Bank.  I  realize  that  the  purchase  of  the  Common Stock is a
     speculative investment and that any possible profit therefrom is uncertain;


<PAGE>
     I  have  had  the  opportunity  to  ask  questions  of  and receive answers
     from  the  Bank  and  any  person  acting  on  its behalf and to obtain all
     material  information reasonably available with respect to the Bank and its
     affairs.  I have received all information and data with respect to the Bank
     which  I have requested and which I have deemed relevant in connection with
     the  evaluation  of  the  merits  and  risks  of my investment in the Bank;

     I  have  such  knowledge  and  experience in financial and business matters
     that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the
     Common  Stock  hereunder  and  I  am able to bear the economic risk of such
     purchase;  and

     The agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by me herein
     extend  to  and  apply  to all of the Common Stock of the Bank issued to me
     pursuant  to  this  Award. Acceptance by me of the certificate representing
     such  Common  Stock  shall  constitute  a  confirmation by me that all such
     agreements,  representations, warranties and covenants made herein shall be
     true  and  correct  at  that  time.

     I  understand that the certificates representing the shares being purchased
by  me  in  accordance  with  this  notice  shall bear a legend referring to the
foregoing  covenants,  representations  and  warranties  and  restrictions  on
transfer,  and  I  agree  that  a  legend  to  that  effect may be placed on any
certificate which may be issued to me as a substitute for the certificates being
acquired  by  me  in  accordance  with  this  notice.  I further understand that
capitalized  terms used in this Notice of Exercise without definition shall have
the  meanings  given  to  them  in  the  Award  or  in  the Plan, as applicable.

     Very  truly  yours,

     [ ]  the  legal  guardian  of  the  original  recipient  of  the Option.

(3)  The Option to which this election relates was issued under the Southeastern
     Bank  Financial  Corporation  2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in
     the  name  of  _________________________  for  the  purchase  of a total of
     _______________  shares  of Common Stock of the Bank. This election relates
     to  _______________  shares  of  Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
     Option,  provided  that the numbers set forth above shall be deemed changed
     as  appropriate  to  reflect  the  applicable  Plan  provisions.

(4)  In connection  with  any  exercise of the Option with respect to the Common
     Stock,  I  hereby  elect:

     [ ]  to  have  certain  of  the  shares  otherwise issuable pursuant to the
          exercise  withheld  by the Bank for the purpose of having the value of
          the  shares  applied  to  pay federal, state, and local, if any, taxes
          arising  from  the  exercise.

     [ ]  to  tender  shares of Common Stock held by me for a period of at least
          six  (6) months prior to the exercise of the Option for the purpose of
          having  the  value  of  the  shares  applied  to  pay  such  taxes.

     The  shares  to  be  withheld  or  tendered,  as applicable, shall have, as
     of  the  Tax  Date applicable to the exercise, a Fair Market Value equal to
     the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement under federal, state, and
     local  law  in  connection  with  the  exercise.

     conditions  to  the  making of this Withholding Election have not been met.

(8)  Capitalized  terms  used  in  this  Notice  of Withholding Election without
     definition  shall  have  the meanings given to them in the Option or in the
