Item 4. <u>Description of Securities</u>.

Not applicable.

Item 5. <u>Interests of Named Experts and Counsel</u>.

Not applicable.

Item 6. <u>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</u>.

Section 2-405.2 of the Maryland General Corporation Law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages except: (1) to the extent it is proven that the director or officer actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually received; or (2) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the director's or officer's action or failure to act was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The Company's charter contains such a provision, thereby limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify a director or officer who is made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred unless it is established that: (1) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (2) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that where a director or officer is a defendant in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, the director or officer may not be indemnified if he or she is found liable to the corporation. The Maryland General Corporation Law also provides that a director or officer may not be indemnified in respect of any proceeding alleging improper personal benefit in which he or she was found liable on the grounds that personal benefit was improperly received. A director or officer found liable in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or in a proceeding alleging improper personal benefit may petition a court to nevertheless order indemnification of expenses if the court determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances.

Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law provides that unless limited by the charter of a Maryland corporation, a director or an officer who is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding must be indemnified against reasonable expenses. Section 2-418 also provides that a Maryland corporation may advance reasonable expenses to a director or an officer upon the corporation's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by the director or officer or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

The Company's charter provides for indemnification of directors and officers to the maximum extent required or permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law.

Under a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, directors and officers of the Company are insured against certain liabilities.

Item 7. <u>Exemption from Registration Claimed</u>.

Not applicable.

Item 8. <u>Exhibits</u>.

See Exhibit Index.

Item 9. <u>Undertakings</u>.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc.

10 Woodfin Street

Asheville, North Carolina 28801

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), to be offered pursuant to the HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

In connection with our opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Plan, the Registration Statement, the Company's charter and bylaws, resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors and committees thereof, and such other documents and corporate records as we have deemed appropriate for the purpose of rendering this opinion. We have assumed without investigation the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic and complete original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of the originals of such copies. We have further assumed the accuracy of certifications of public officials, government agencies and departments, and corporate officers and other individuals on which we are relying, and have made no independent investigations thereof. In addition, we have assumed that the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to awards under the Plan will continue to be duly authorized at the respective times of such issuances, and that the agreements evidencing awards under the Plan will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws and legal principles affecting creditors' rights).

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, it is our opinion that the shares of Common Stock being so registered will be, when and if issued, sold and paid for in accordance with and as contemplated by the Plan, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

In rendering the foregoing opinion, we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland, as currently in effect. This opinion is limited to the facts bearing on this opinion as they exist on the date of this opinion. We disclaim any obligation to review or supplement this opinion or to advise you of any changes in the circumstances, laws or events that may occur after this date or otherwise update this opinion.

We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The opinion expressed herein is a matter of professional judgment and is not a guarantee of result.

 and exercisable. Subject to the Option Holder's continuous employment or service as
 specified in Section 10.1 of the Plan ("Service") through each applicable Vesting
 Date set forth below, this NQSO shall become exercisable with respect to the following number
 of Shares on the dates indicated below, subject to earlier vesting in the event of a termination
 as provided herein:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| <u>Vesting Date[(s)]</u> | <u>NQSOs for Number of Shares Vesting</u> |

---

3.  **<u>Exercise</u>** .
 The Option Holder (or in the case of the death of the Option Holder, the designated legal
 representative or heir of the Option Holder) may exercise the NQSO during the Exercise Period
 specified below by giving written notice to the Corporate Secretary in the form required
 by the Committee ("Exercise Notice"). The Exercise Notice must specify the number
 of whole Shares to be purchased, which shall be at least 100 unless fewer shares remain unexercised.
 The exercise date is the date the Exercise Notice is received by the Company. The Exercise
 Period commences on the Vesting Date and expires at 5:00 p.m., Asheville, North Carolina
 time, on the date 10 years after the Grant Date, such later time and date being hereinafter
 referred to as the "Expiration Date," subject to earlier expiration in the event
 of a termination as provided herein. Any portion of the NQSO
not exercised as of the close of business on the last day of the Exercise Period shall be cancelled without consideration at that time.

The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased, plus any applicable tax withholding. Payment shall be made: (a) in cash, which may be in the form of a check, money order, cashier's check or certified check payable to the Company, or (b) by delivering Shares of the Company already owned by the Option Holder having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the aggregate Exercise Price to be paid plus any applicable tax withholding, or (c) by instructing the Company to withhold Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the aggregate Exercise Price to be paid plus any applicable tax withholding, or (d) by any combination thereof. Payment for the Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Option may also be made by delivering a properly executed Exercise Notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the aggregate Exercise Price and applicable tax withholding amounts (if any), in which event the Shares acquired shall be delivered to the broker promptly following receipt of payment.

4.  **<u>Related Awards</u>** : This NQSO and the Shares are not related to any other Award under the Plan.

5.  **<u>Transferability</u>** .
 The Option Holder may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber the NQSO except
 in the event of the Option Holder's death, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
 or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

6.  **<u>Termination Event</u>** . If the Option Holder's Service with the Company is terminated for any
 reason other than the death or Disability of the Option Holder, any Shares subject to the
 NQSO that have not vested or become forfeited as of the last date of the Option Holder's
 Service termination date (the "Termination Date") shall be forfeited to the Company,
 and the Exercise Period of any vested Shares subject to the NQSO shall expire three months
 after the Termination Date (or the Expiration Date, if earlier), except where that termination
 of Service is due to Retirement, in which case the Exercise Period of any vested Shares subject
 to the NQSO shall expire one year after the Termination Date (or the Expiration Date, if
 earlier), or in the case of a termination for Cause, all Shares subject to the NQSO (including
 both vested and unvested Shares) held by the Option Holder shall expire and be forfeited
 to the Company immediately. For purposes of this Award Agreement, Retirement is defined as
 termination of an Option Holder's employment with the Company and its Affiliates, other
 than a Termination for Cause, after the Option Holder has attained age 59½ ("Retirement").
 If the Option Holder's termination is on account of the Option Holder's death
 or Disability, all Shares subject to the NQSO that have not vested or been forfeited shall
 become fully vested and exercisable, and the Exercise Period of all Shares subject to the
 NQSO shall expire one year after the Termination Date (or Expiration Date, if earlier).

7.  **<u>Effect of Change in Control</u>** . All Shares underlying the NQSO that have not vested or been
 forfeited shall become fully vested and exercisable upon the consummation of a Change
in Control, provided that a Replacement Award meeting the requirements of Section 11.3 of the Plan has not been provided to the Option
Holder to replace this NQSO.

8.  **<u>Option Holder's Rights</u>** . The NQSO awarded hereby does not entitle the Option Holder
 to any rights of a shareholder of the Company until such time as the Shares are transferred
 to such Option Holder on the stock transfer records of the Company.

9.  **<u>Delivery of Shares to Option Holder</u>** . Promptly after receipt of an Exercise Notice and full
 payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares being acquired, the Company shall issue and
 deliver to the Option Holder (or other person validly exercising the NQSO) a certificate
 or certificates representing the Shares of Common Stock being purchased, or evidence of the
 issuance of such Shares in book-entry form, registered in the name of the Option Holder (or
 such other person), or, upon request, in the name of the Option Holder (or such other person)
 and in the name of another person in such form of joint ownership as requested by the Option
 Holder (or such other person) pursuant to applicable state law. The Company's obligation
 to deliver a stock certificate or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form for
 Shares purchased upon the exercise of an NQSO can be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation
 of investment intent from the Option Holder (or the Option Holder's Beneficiary) in
 such form as the Committee requires. The Company shall not be required to deliver stock certificates
 or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form for Shares purchased prior to: (a)
 the listing of those Shares on the Nasdaq; or (b) the completion of any registration or qualification
 of those Shares required under applicable law.

10.  **<u>Adjustments in Shares</u>** . In the event of any corporate event or transaction (including, but not
 limited to, a change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or the capitalization
 of the Company) after the Grant Date, such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
 separation, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, or other
 distribution of stock or property of the Company, combination of Shares, exchange of Shares,
 dividend in kind, or other like change-in-capital structure or distribution (other than normal
 cash dividends) to stockholders of the Company, or any similar corporate event or transaction,
 the Committee, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Option Holder's rights
 under this Agreement, shall substitute or adjust, as applicable, the number of Shares or
 class of securities of the Company covered by the NQSO or the Exercise Price of the Shares
 subject to the NQSO in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Plan. The Option Holder agrees
 to execute any documents required by the Committee in connection with an adjustment under
 this Section 10.

11.  **<u>Tax Withholding</u>** . The Company shall have the right to require the Option Holder to pay
 to the Company the amount of any tax that the Company is required to withhold with respect
 to such Shares, or in lieu thereof, to retain or sell a sufficient number of Shares to cover
 the minimum amount required to be withheld.

12.  **<u>Restrictive Covenant Provisions</u>** . In consideration for the Company's agreement to grant
 this NQSO to the Option Holder, and other good and valuable consideration, the Option Holder
 agrees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) During the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the two (2) year anniversary of the Termination Date (the "Non-Solicitation Period"), the Option Holder will not (i) solicit (by any means, excluding general solicitations of the public that are not based in whole or in part on any list of employees of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries) or induce, or cause others to solicit or induce, any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to leave the employment of such entities, or (ii) solicit (by any means, excluding general solicitations of the public that are not based in whole or in part on any list of customers, clients or vendors of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries) or induce any customer, client or vendor of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, of whom the Option Holder had dealings during his/her employment or service with the Company, to cease doing business with the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries or otherwise interfere with or damage any such individual's or entity's relationship with the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The covenants and agreements of the Option Holder set forth in Section 12(a) are referred to herein as the "Restrictive Covenants." The Option Holder acknowledges that he/she has carefully read and considered the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants, and having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth above are fair and reasonable, and are reasonably required for the protection of the legitimate business and economic interests of the Company. The parties specifically agree that the Company's customer information is confidential and proprietary, and that the Company derives an economic benefit from maintaining the secrecy of such information, which qualifies for trade secret status under applicable law.

The Option Holder further acknowledges that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement absent the Option Holder's agreement to the foregoing. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction finds the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants or any parts hereof to be invalid or unenforceable, such conclusion or finding shall in no way render invalid or unenforceable any other portion of this Section 12 as the provisions of this Section are intended to be separate and divisible covenants. Accordingly, if any provision shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable either in whole or in part, including without limitation the geographic scope or duration of such provision, the parties hereto agree that the court or authority making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope or duration of such provision or to delete specific words, phrases or provisions as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such Restrictive Covenants or parts thereof to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, in so far as possible, reflect the original intent of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 12 hereof, without violating applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of Section 12 by the Option Holder, and any breach of the terms of Section 12 by the Option Holder would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which such party would have no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 12 by the Option Holder, the Company or its successors or assigns shall be entitled to specific performance and/or immediate injunctive relief or other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedies and damages available to the Company, in order to enforce Section 12 of this Agreement, without posting bond or other security, without having to prove damages, and to the payment by the breaching party of all of the other party's costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The Option Holder hereby consents to any restraining order or injunction issued in favor of the Company by any court of competent jurisdiction, without prejudice to any other right or remedy to which the Company may be entitled. **<u>In addition, if the Option Holder breaches this Section 12, all NQSOs which remain unvested or unexercised shall be immediately forfeited, and with respect to previously exercised NQSOs the Company may recover from the Option Holder an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares issued in connection with the exercise of the NQSOs (including the Fair Market Value of any Shares withheld to pay all or part of the Exercise Price and the applicable tax withholding) over the Exercise Price of such Shares as of the applicable date of exercise. The Company shall also be entitled to recover from the Option Holder any expenses or legal fees incurred by the Company in exercising its right of recovery under the preceding sentence.</u>** The Option Holder represents and acknowledges that, in light of the Option Holder's experience and capabilities, the Option Holder can obtain employment with another financial institution or holding company thereof or in a business engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature than those engaged in by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and that the enforcement of a remedy by way of a temporary restraining order or injunction will not prevent the Option Holder from earning a livelihood. Each of the remedies available to the Company in the event of a breach by the Option Holder shall be cumulative and not mutually exclusive. In the event of the Option Holder's breach of the Restrictive Covenants, the Non-Solicitation Period shall be extended by the amount of time the Option Holder was in violation of Section 12.

13.  **<u>Clawback</u>** The Option Holder acknowledges and agrees that this Award and the Option Holder's
 exercise of any Shares hereunder is subject to the provisions of Section 16.3 of the Plan
 regarding clawbacks.

14.  **<u>Plan and Committee Decisions are Controlling</u>** . This Agreement, the award of the NQSO to
 the Option Holder and the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the NQSO are subject in
 all respects to the provisions of the Plan, which are controlling. Capitalized terms herein
 not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. All decisions,
 determinations and interpretations by the Committee respecting the Plan, this Agreement,
 the award of the NQSO or the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the NQSO shall be binding
 and conclusive upon the Option Holder, any Beneficiary of the Option Holder or the legal
 representative thereof.

15.  **<u>Option Holder's Service</u>** . Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Company
 or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Option Holder's service or employment as
 a director, advisory director, director emeritus, officer or employee, or otherwise impose
 upon the Company or any of its Affiliates any obligation to employ or accept the services
 or employment of the Option Holder.

16.  **<u>Governing Law and Forum Selection</u>** . The Option Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Company's
 principal place of business is located in North Carolina and that this Agreement was made,
 delivered, authorized, approved and executed by the Company through action taken in North
 Carolina. As a result, the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall be governed by
 the laws of the State of North Carolina. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be
 decided solely and exclusively by state or federal courts located in Asheville, North Carolina.

17.  **<u>Amendment</u>** .
 The Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company or modify or amend the
 terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may not amend, alter, suspend,
 discontinue or terminate any provision of this Agreement if such action may adversely affect
 the Option Holder without the Option Holder's written consent. To the extent permitted
 by applicable laws and regulations, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion
 whenever the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate, to (a) accelerate the
 vesting of the Shares, (b) remove any other restrictions imposed on the Option Holder with
 respect to the Shares, (c) delete any of the Option Holder's covenants contained in
 Section 12 of this Agreement, including retroactively, and (d) reduce (but not increase)
 the geographic scope or duration of the Option Holder's covenants in Section 12 of
 this Agreement, including retroactively.

18.  **<u>Option Holder Acceptance</u>** . As a condition of receiving the Award, the Option Holder must
 signify acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and acknowledge receipt
 of a copy of the Plan by signing in the space provided below and returning the signed copy
 to the Company, and if such signature and acceptance is not received by the Company within
 sixty (60) days of delivery of this Agreement to the Option Holder, then this Non-Qualified
 Stock Option Award and the underlying Options shall terminate, unless the Committee determines
 otherwise.

19.  **<u>Integration</u>** .
 This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect
 to this NQSO and the Shares and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the
 parties concerning such subject matter.

20.  **<u>Electronic Communication</u>** . The Committee may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents
 related to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Award and all other documents that the Company
 is required to deliver to security holders by email or other electronic means (including
 posting them on a website maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with
 the Company). As a condition to participating in the Plan and receipt of the Non-Qualified
 Stock Option Award, the Option Holder agrees to receive such documents by electronic delivery
 and agree to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established
 and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

21.  **<u>Counterparts; Electronic Signature</u>** . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
 each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed
 to be one and the same instrument. The Option Holders's electronic signature of this
 Agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by the Option Holder's
 hand.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above.

1.  **<u>Restricted Stock Award</u>** . The Company makes this Restricted Stock Award of **< >** shares (the "Shares") of Company common stock , par value $0.01

 and to limits on transferability until they vest, as provided in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this
 Agreement and in Article 7 of the Plan.

2.  **<u>Vesting Dates</u>** : The Shares shall vest as follows, subject to the Grantee's continuous
 employment or service as specified in Section 10.1 of the Plan ("Service") through
 each applicable Vesting Date set forth below, except as otherwise provided herein or in the
 Plan:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|

---

3.  **<u>Transferability</u>** .
 The Grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any Shares that
 have not vested, except in the event of the Grantee's death, by will or by the laws
 of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

4.  **<u>Termination Event</u>** . If the Grantee's Service with the Company is terminated for any reason
 other than the death or Disability of the Grantee, any Shares that have not vested as of
 the Grantee's Service termination date (the "Termination Date") shall be
 forfeited to the Company. If the Grantee's Service terminates on account of the Grantee's
 death or Disability,
all Shares that have not vested or been forfeited shall become fully vested on the Termination Date.

5.  **<u>Effect of Change in Control</u>** . All Shares that have not vested or been forfeited shall become
 fully vested upon the consummation of a Change in Control, provided that a Replacement Award
 meeting the requirements of Section 11.3 of the Plan has not been provided to the Grantee
 to replace this Restricted Stock Award.

6.  **<u>Delivery of Shares</u>** . The Company shall issue stock certificates or evidence of the issuance
 of such Shares in book-entry form, in the name of the Grantee reflecting the Shares vesting
 on each Vesting Date in Section 2. The Company shall retain these certificates or evidence
 of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form until the Shares represented thereby become
 vested. Prior to vesting, the Shares shall be subject to the following restriction, communicated
 in writing to the Company's stock transfer agent:

The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan and in a Restricted Stock agreement dated ____, 20__. A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Stock agreement may be obtained from the Corporate Secretary of HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc.

7.  **<u>Grantee's Rights</u>** . As the owner of all Shares that have not vested, the Grantee shall be paid
 dividends by the Company with respect to those Shares at the same time as they are paid to
 other holders of the Company's common stock. The Grantee may exercise all voting rights
 appurtenant to the Shares.

8.  **<u>Delivery of Shares to Grantee</u>** . Upon the vesting of any Shares, the restrictions in Sections
 3 and 4 shall terminate, and the Company shall deliver only to the Grantee (or, if applicable,
 the Grantee's Beneficiary or estate) a certificate (without the legend referenced in
 Section 6) or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form, and the related stock
 power in respect of the vesting Shares. The Company's obligation to deliver a stock
 certificate for vested Shares, or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form,
 can be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation of investment intent from the Grantee
 (or the Grantee's Beneficiary or estate) in such form as the Committee requires. The
 Company shall not be required to deliver stock certificates for vested Shares, or evidence
 of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form, prior to: (a) the listing of those Shares on
 the Nasdaq; or (b) the completion of any registration or qualification of those Shares required
 under applicable law.

9.  **<u>Adjustments in Shares</u>** . In the event of any corporate event or transaction (including, but not
 limited to, a change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or the capitalization
 of the Company) after the Grant Date, such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
 separation, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, or other
 distribution of stock or property of the Company, combination of Shares, exchange of Shares,
 dividend in kind, or other like change-in-capital structure or distribution (other than normal
 cash dividends) to stockholders of the Company, or any similar corporate event or transaction,
 the Committee, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement
of the Grantee's rights under this Agreement, shall substitute or adjust, as applicable, the number of Shares or class of securities
of the Company covered by this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Plan. Any additional Shares or other securities received
by the Grantee as a result of any such adjustment shall be subject to all restrictions and requirements applicable to Shares that have
not vested. The Grantee agrees to execute any documents required by the Committee in connection with an adjustment under this Section
9. 2

10.  **<u>Tax Election</u>** . The Grantee understands that an election may be made under Section 83(b)
 of the Code to accelerate the Grantee's tax obligation with respect to receipt of the
 Shares from the Vesting Dates to the Grant Date by submitting an election to the Internal
 Revenue Service. The Grantee acknowledges that he or she is responsible for obtaining the
 advice of his or her tax advisors with regard to the Section 83(b) election and that he or
 she is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the
 Company or any of its agents with regard to such election. In the event the Grantee makes
 such an election, he or she agrees to provide a copy of the election to the Company. In the
 event that the Grantee chooses to make a Section 83(b) election, Grantee agrees and
 acknowledges that it is Grantee's responsibility—and not the Company's
 responsibility—to file the election in a timely manner, even if the Grantee asks the
 Company or its agents to make the filing on his or her behalf.

11.  **<u>Tax Withholding</u>** . The Company shall have the right to require the Grantee to pay to the
 Company the amount of any tax that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such
 Shares, or in lieu thereof, to retain or sell a sufficient number of Shares to cover the
 minimum amount required to be withheld. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all
 dividends paid with respect to the Shares the amount of any taxes that the Company is required
 to withhold with respect to such dividend payments.

12.  **<u>Restrictive Covenant Provisions</u>** . In consideration for the Company's agreement to award
 Shares to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the Grantee agrees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) During the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the two (2) year anniversary of the Termination Date (the "Non-Solicitation Period"), the Grantee will not (i) solicit (by any means, excluding general solicitations of the public that are not based in whole or in part on any list of employees of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries) or induce, or cause others to solicit or induce, any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to leave the employment of such entities, or (ii) solicit (by any means, excluding general solicitations of the public that are not based in whole or in part on any list of customers, clients or vendors of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries) or induce any customer, client or vendor of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, of whom the Grantee had dealings during his/her employment or service with the Company, to cease doing business with the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries or otherwise interfere with or damage any such individual's or entity's relationship with the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The covenants and agreements of the Grantee set forth in Section 12(a) are referred to herein as the "Restrictive Covenants." The Grantee acknowledges that he/she has carefully read and considered the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants, and having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth above are fair and reasonable, and are reasonably required for the protection of the legitimate business and economic interests of the Company. The parties specifically agree that the Company's customer information is confidential and proprietary, and that the Company derives an economic benefit from maintaining the secrecy of such information, which qualifies for trade secret status under applicable law. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement absent the Grantee's agreement to the foregoing. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction finds the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants or any parts hereof to be invalid or unenforceable, such conclusion or finding shall in no way render invalid or unenforceable any other portion of this Section 12 as the provisions of this Section are intended to be separate and divisible covenants. Accordingly, if any provision shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable either in whole or in part, including without limitation the geographic scope or duration of such provision, the parties hereto agree that the court or authority making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope or duration of such provision or to delete specific words, phrases or provisions as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such Restrictive Covenants or parts thereof to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, in so far as possible, reflect the original intent of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 12 hereof, without violating applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of Section 12 by the Grantee, and any breach of the terms of Section 12 by the Grantee would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which such party would have no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 12 by Grantee, the Company or its successors or assigns shall be entitled to specific performance and/or immediate injunctive relief or other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedies and damages available to the Company, in order to enforce Section 12 of this Agreement, without posting bond or other security, without having to prove damages, and to the payment by the breaching party of all of the other party's costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The Grantee hereby consents to any restraining order or injunction issued in favor of the Company by any court of competent jurisdiction, without prejudice to any other right or remedy to which the Company may be entitled. **<u>In addition, if the Grantee breaches this Section 12, all Shares covered by this Restricted Stock Award which remain unvested shall be immediately forfeited, and with respect to previously vested Shares the Company may recover from the Grantee an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the applicable Vesting Date. The Company shall also be entitled to recover from the Grantee any expenses or legal fees incurred by the Company in exercising its right of recovery under the preceding sentence</u>**. The Grantee represents and acknowledges that, in light of the Grantee's experience and capabilities, the Grantee can obtain employment with another financial institution or holding company thereof or in a business engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature than those engaged in by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and that the enforcement of a remedy by way of a temporary restraining order or injunction will not prevent the Grantee from earning a livelihood. Each of the remedies available to the Company in the event of a breach by the Grantee shall be cumulative and not mutually exclusive. In the event of the Grantee's breach of the Restrictive Covenants, the Non-Solicitation Period shall be extended by the amount of time the Grantee was in violation of Section 12.

13.  **<u>Clawback.</u>** The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that this Award and the Grantee's receipt
 of any Shares hereunder is subject to the provisions of Section 16.3 of the Plan regarding
 clawbacks.

14.  **<u>Plan and Committee Decisions are Controlling</u>** . This Agreement and the award of Shares to
 the Grantee are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan, which are controlling.
 Capitalized terms herein not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to
 them in the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee respecting
 the Plan, this Agreement or the award of Shares shall be binding and conclusive upon the
 Grantee, any Beneficiary of the Grantee or the legal representative thereof.

15.  **<u>Grantee's Service</u>** . Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Company or any of
 its Affiliates to terminate the Grantee's service or employment as a director, advisory
 director, director emeritus, officer or employee, or otherwise impose upon the Company or
 any of its Affiliates any obligation to employ or accept the services or employment of the
 Grantee.

16.  **<u>Governing Law and Forum Selection</u>** . The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company's
 principal place of business is located in North Carolina and that this Agreement was made,
 delivered, authorized, approved and executed by the Company through action taken in North
 Carolina. As a result, the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall be governed by
 the laws of the State of North Carolina. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be
 decided solely and exclusively by state or federal courts located in Asheville, North Carolina.

17.  **<u>Amendment</u>** .
 The Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company or modify or amend the
 terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may not amend, alter, suspend,
 discontinue or terminate any provision of this Agreement if such action may adversely affect
 the Grantee without the Grantee's written consent. To the extent permitted by applicable

This Restricted Stock Award ("Restricted Stock Award") is granted by HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. ("Company") to ***[name]*** ("Grantee") in accordance with the terms of this Restricted Stock Award Agreement ("Agreement") and subject to the provisions of the HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time ("Plan"). The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.

1.  **<u>Restricted Stock Award</u>** . The Company makes this Restricted Stock Award of [Number of shares]
 shares (the "Shares") of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
 "Common Stock") to Grantee. These Shares are subject to forfeiture and to limits
 on transferability until they vest, as provided in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement
 and in Article 7 of the Plan.

2.  **<u>Vesting Dates</u>** : The Shares shall vest as follows, subject to the Grantee's continuous
 employment or service as specified in Section 10.1 of the Plan ("Service") through
 each applicable Vesting Date set forth below, except as otherwise provided herein or in the
 Plan:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| <u>Vesting Date[(s)]</u> | <u>Number of Shares Vesting</u> |

---

3.  **<u>Transferability</u>** .
 The Grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any Shares that
 have not vested, except in the event of the Grantee's death, by will or by the laws
 of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

4.  **<u>Termination Event</u>** . If the Grantee's Service with the Company is terminated for any reason
 other than in connection with a Change in Control or the death or Disability of the Grantee,
 any Shares that have not vested as of the last date of the Grantee's Service with the
 Company (the "Termination Date") shall be forfeited to the Company. If the Grantee's
 Service terminates on account of the Grantee's death or Disability, all Shares that
 have not vested or been forfeited shall become fully vested on the Termination Date.

5.  **<u>Effect of Change in Control</u>** . All Shares that have not vested or been forfeited shall become
 fully vested upon the consummation of a Change in Control, provided that a Replacement
Award meeting the requirements of Section 11.3 of the Plan has not been provided to the Grantee to replace this Restricted Stock Award.

6.  **<u>Delivery of Shares</u>** . The Company shall issue stock certificates or evidence of the issuance
 of such Shares in book-entry form, in the name of the Grantee reflecting the Shares vesting
 on each Vesting Date in Section 2. The Company shall retain these certificates or evidence
 of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form until the Shares represented thereby become
 vested. Prior to vesting, the Shares shall be subject to the following restriction, communicated
 in writing to the Company's stock transfer agent:

The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan and in a Restricted Stock agreement dated ____, 20__. A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Stock agreement may be obtained from the Corporate Secretary of HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. .

7.  **<u>Grantee's Rights</u>** . As the owner of all Shares that have not vested, the Grantee shall be paid
 dividends by the Company with respect to those Shares at the same time as they are paid to
 other holders of the Company's common stock. The Grantee may exercise all voting rights
 appurtenant to the Shares.

8.  **<u>Delivery of Shares to Grantee</u>** . Upon the vesting of any Shares, the restrictions in Sections
 3 and 4 shall terminate, and the Company shall deliver only to the Grantee (or, if applicable,
 the Grantee's Beneficiary or estate) a certificate (without the legend referenced in
 Section 6) or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form, and the related stock
 power in respect of the vesting Shares. The Company's obligation to deliver a stock
 certificate for vested Shares, or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form,
 can be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation of investment intent from the Grantee
 (or the Grantee's Beneficiary or estate) in such form as the Committee requires. The
 Company shall not be required to deliver stock certificates for vested Shares, or evidence
 of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form, prior to: (a) the listing of those Shares on
 the Nasdaq; or (b) the completion of any registration or qualification of those Shares required
 under applicable law.

9.  **<u>Adjustments in Shares</u>** . In the event of any corporate event or transaction (including, but not
 limited to, a change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock or the capitalization
 of the Company) after the Grant Date, such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
 separation, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, or other
 distribution of stock or property of the Company, combination of Shares, exchange of Shares,
 dividend in kind, or other like change-in-capital structure or distribution (other than normal
 cash dividends) to stockholders of the Company, or any similar corporate event or transaction,
 the Committee, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Grantee's rights
 under this Agreement, shall substitute or adjust, as applicable, the number of Shares or
 class of securities of the Company covered by this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.4
 of the Plan. Any additional Shares or other securities received by the Grantee as a result
 of any such adjustment shall be subject to all restrictions and requirements applicable to
 Shares that have not vested. The Grantee agrees to
execute any documents required by the Committee in connection with an adjustment under this Section 9.

10.  **<u>Tax Election</u>** . The Grantee understands that an election may be made under Section 83(b)
 of the Code to accelerate the Grantee's tax obligation with respect to receipt of the
 Shares from the Vesting Dates to the Grant Date by submitting an election to the Internal
 Revenue Service. The Grantee acknowledges that he or she is responsible for obtaining the
 advice of his or her tax advisors with regards to the Section 83(b) election and that he
 or she is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of
 the Company or any of its agents with regard to such election. In the event the Grantee makes
 such an election, he or she agrees to provide a copy of the election to the Company. In the
 event that the Grantee chooses to make a Section 83(b) election, Grantee agrees and acknowledges
 that it is Grantee's responsibility and not the Company's responsibility to file
 the election in a timely manner, even if the Grantee asks the Company or its agents to make
 the filing on his or her behalf.

11.  **<u>Tax Withholding</u>** . The Company shall have the right to require the Grantee to pay to the
 Company the amount of any tax that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such
 Shares, or in lieu thereof, to retain or sell a sufficient number of Shares to cover the
 minimum amount required to be withheld. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all
 dividends paid with respect to the Shares the amount of any taxes that the Company is required
 to withhold with respect to such dividend payments.

12.  **<u>Restrictive Covenant Provisions</u>** .

In consideration for the Company's agreement to award Shares to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the Grantee agrees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) During the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the two (2) year anniversary of the Termination Date (the "Non-Solicitation Period"), the Grantee will not (i) solicit (by any means, excluding general solicitations of the public that are not based in whole or in part on any list of employees of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries) or induce, or cause others to solicit or induce, any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to leave the employment of such entities, or (ii) solicit (by any means, excluding general solicitations of the public that are not based in whole or in part on any list of customers, clients or vendors of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries) or induce any customer, client or vendor of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, of whom the Grantee had dealings during his/her employment or service with the Company, to cease doing business with the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries or otherwise interfere with or damage any such individual's or entity's relationship with the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The covenants and agreements of the Grantee set forth in Section 12(a) are referred to herein as the "Restrictive Covenants." The Grantee acknowledges that he/she has carefully read and considered the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants, and having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth above are fair and reasonable, and are reasonably required for the protection of the legitimate business and economic interests of the Company. The parties specifically agree that the Company's customer information is confidential and proprietary and that the Company derives an economic benefit from maintaining the secrecy of such information, which qualifies for trade secret status under applicable law. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement absent the Grantee's agreement to the foregoing. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction finds the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants or any parts hereof to be invalid or unenforceable, such conclusion or finding shall in no way render invalid or unenforceable any other portion of this Section 12 as the provisions of this Section are intended to be separate and divisible covenants. Accordingly, if any provision shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable either in whole or in part, including without limitation the geographic scope or duration of such provision, the parties hereto agree that the court or authority making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope or duration of such provision or to delete specific words, phrases or provisions as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such Restrictive Covenants or parts thereof to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, in so far as possible, reflect the original intent of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 12 hereof, without violating applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of Section 12 by the Grantee, and any breach of the terms of Section 12 by the Grantee would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which such party would have no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 12 by Grantee, the Company or its successors or assigns shall be entitled to specific performance and/or immediate injunctive relief or other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedies and damages available to the Company, in order to enforce Section 12 of this Agreement, without posting bond or other security, without having to prove damages, and to the payment by the breaching party of all of the other party's costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The Grantee hereby consents to any restraining order or injunction issued in favor of the Company by any court of competent jurisdiction, without prejudice to any other right or remedy to which the Company may be entitled. **<u>In addition, if the Grantee breaches this Section 12, all Shares covered by this Restricted Stock Award which remain unvested shall be immediately forfeited, and with respect to previously vested Shares the Company may recover from the Grantee an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the applicable Vesting Date. The Company shall also be entitled to recover from the Grantee any expenses or legal fees incurred by the Company in exercising its right of recovery under the preceding sentence.</u>** The Grantee represents and acknowledges that, in light of the Grantee's experience and capabilities, the Grantee can obtain employment with another financial institution or holding company thereof or in a business engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature than those engaged in by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and that the enforcement of a remedy by way of a temporary restraining order or injunction will not prevent the Grantee from earning a livelihood. Each of the remedies available to the Company in the event of a breach by the Grantee shall be cumulative and not mutually exclusive. In the event of the Grantee's breach of the Restrictive Covenants, the Non-Solicitation Period shall be extended by the amount of time the Grantee was in violation of Section 12.

13.  **<u>Clawback</u>** .
 The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that this Award and the Grantee's receipt of any
 Shares hereunder is subject to the provisions of Section 16.3 of the Plan regarding clawbacks.

14.  **<u>Plan and Committee Decisions are Controlling</u>** . This Agreement and the award of Shares to
 the Grantee are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan, which are controlling.
 Capitalized terms herein not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to
 them in the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee respecting
 the Plan, this Agreement or the award of Shares shall be binding and conclusive upon the
 Grantee, any Beneficiary of the Grantee or the legal representative thereof.

15.  **<u>Grantee's Service</u>** . Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Company or any of
 its Affiliates to terminate the Grantee's service or employment as a director, advisory
 director, director emeritus, officer or employee, or otherwise impose upon the Company or
 any of its Affiliates any obligation to employ or accept the services or employment of the
 Grantee.

16.  **<u>Governing Law and Forum Selection</u>** . The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company's
 principal place of business is located in North Carolina and that this Agreement was made,
 delivered, authorized, approved and executed by the Company through action taken in North
 Carolina. As a result, the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall be governed by
 the laws of the State of North Carolina. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be
 decided solely and exclusively by state or federal courts located in Asheville, North Carolina.

17.  **<u>Amendment</u>** .
 The Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company or modify or amend the
 terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may not amend, alter, suspend,
 discontinue or terminate any provision of this Agreement if such action may adversely affect
 the Grantee without the Grantee's written consent. To the extent permitted by applicable
 laws and regulations, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion whenever
 the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate, to (a) accelerate the vesting
 of the Shares, (b) remove any other restrictions imposed on the Grantee with respect to the

 including retroactively, and (d) reduce (but not increase) the geographic scope or duration
 of the Grantee's covenants in Section 12 of this Agreement, including retroactively.

18.  **<u>Grantee Acceptance</u>** . As a condition of receiving the Award, the Grantee must signify acceptance
 of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan
 by signing in the space provided below and returning the signed copy to the Company, and
 if such signature and acceptance is not received by the Company within sixty
(60) days of delivery of this Agreement to the Grantee, then this Restricted Stock Award and the underlying Shares shall terminate, unless
the Committee determines otherwise..

19.  **<u>Integration</u>** .
 This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect
 to this award of Shares and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties
 concerning such subject matter.

 related to the Restricted Stock Award and all other documents that the Company is required
 to deliver to security holders by email or other electronic means (including posting them

 As a condition to participating in the Plan and receipt of the Restricted Stock Award, the
 Grantee agrees to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate
 in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company
 or a third party designated by the Company.

21.  **<u>Counterparts; Electronic Signature</u>** . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
 each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed
 to be one and the same instrument. The Grantee's electronic signature of this Agreement

In consideration for the Company's agreement to award Shares to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the Grantee agrees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) During the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the two (2) year anniversary of the Termination Date as defined in Exhibit A (the "Non-Solicitation Period"), the Grantee will not (i) solicit (by any means, excluding general solicitations of the public that are not based in whole or in part on any list of employees of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries) or induce, or cause others to solicit or induce, any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to leave the employment of such entities, or (ii) solicit (by any means, excluding general solicitations of the public that are not based in whole or in part on any list of customers, clients or vendors of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries) or induce any customer, client or vendor of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, of whom the Grantee had dealings during his/her employment or service with the Company, to cease doing business with the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries or otherwise interfere with or damage any such individual's or entity's relationship with the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) The covenants and agreements of the Grantee set forth in Section 11(a) are referred to herein as the "Restrictive Covenants." The Grantee acknowledges that he/she has carefully read and considered the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants, and having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth above are fair and reasonable, and are reasonably required for the protection of the legitimate business and economic interests of the Company. The parties specifically agree that the Company's customer information is confidential and proprietary, and that the Company derives an economic benefit from maintaining the secrecy of such information, which qualifies for trade secret status under applicable law. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement absent the Grantee's agreement to the foregoing. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction finds the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants or any parts hereof to be invalid or unenforceable, such conclusion or finding shall in no way render invalid or unenforceable any other portion of this Section 11 as the provisions of this Section are intended to be separate and divisible covenants. Accordingly, if any provision shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable either in whole or in part, including without limitation the geographic scope or duration of such provision, the parties hereto agree that the court or authority making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope or duration of such provision or to delete specific words, phrases or provisions as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such Restrictive Covenants or parts thereof to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, in so far as possible, reflect the original intent of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 11 hereof, without violating applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) The parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of Section 11 by the Grantee, and any breach of the terms of Section 11 by the Grantee would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which such party would have no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 11 by Grantee, the Company or its successors or assigns shall be entitled to specific performance and/or immediate injunctive relief or other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedies and damages available to the Company, in order to enforce Section 11 of this Agreement, without posting bond or other security, without having to prove damages, and to the payment by the breaching party of all of the other party's costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The Grantee hereby consents to any restraining order or injunction issued in favor of the Company by any court of competent jurisdiction, without prejudice to any other right or remedy to which the Company may be entitled. **<u>In addition, if the Grantee breaches this Section 11, all Performance Shares covered by this Agreement which remain unvested shall be immediately forfeited, and with respect to previously vested Performance Shares the Company may recover from the Grantee an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Common Stock as of the applicable Vesting Date (as defined in Section 1(c) in Exhibit A hereto). The Company shall also be entitled to recover from the Grantee any expenses or legal fees incurred</u>** by the Company in exercising its right of recovery under the preceding sentence. The Grantee represents and acknowledges that, in light of the Grantee's experience and capabilities, the Grantee can obtain employment with another financial institution or holding company thereof or in a business engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature than those engaged in by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and that the enforcement of a remedy by way of a temporary restraining order or injunction will not prevent the Grantee from earning a livelihood. Each of the remedies available to the Company in the event of a breach by the Grantee shall be cumulative and not mutually exclusive. In the event of the Grantee's breach of the Restrictive Covenants, the Non-Solicitation Period shall be extended by the amount of time the Grantee was in violation of Section 11.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **<u>Grantee Acceptance</u>**. As a condition of receiving this Award, the Grantee must signify acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan by signing in the space provided below and returning the signed copy to the Company, and if such signature and acceptance is not received by the Company within sixty (60) days of delivery of this Agreement to the Grantee, then this Award shall terminate, unless the Committee determines otherwise. To the extent the terms of any employment, severance or other agreement to which the Grantee is a party with the Company or any Subsidiary that is then in effect provide for any rights that conflict with or are otherwise contrary to the terms contained in this Agreement, including the vesting rights contained in Exhibit A, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **<u>Conformity with Plan</u>**. The grant of Performance Shares is intended to conform in all respects with, and is subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference). Inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. By executing and returning the enclosed copy of this Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges his or her receipt of this Agreement and the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **<u>Electronic Signature</u>**. All references to signatures and delivery of documents in this Agreement may be satisfied by procedures the Company has established or may establish from time to time for an electronic system for execution and delivery of any such documents, including this Agreement. The Grantee's electronic signature, including, without limitation, "click-through" acceptance of this Agreement through a website maintained by or on behalf of the Company, is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, the Grantee's manual signature. Any such procedures and delivery may be affected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services relating to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **<u>Amendment</u>**. The Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company or modify or amend the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may not amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any provision of this Agreement if such action may adversely affect the Grantee without the Grantee's written consent. To the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion whenever the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate, to (a) accelerate the vesting of the Performance Shares, (b) remove any other restrictions imposed on the Grantee with respect to the Performance Shares or the underlying shares of Common Stock, (c) delete any of the Grantee's covenants contained in Section 11 of this Agreement, including retroactively, and (d) reduce (but not increase) the geographic scope or duration of the Grantee's covenants in Section 11 of this Agreement, including retroactively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **<u>Entire Agreement</u>**. This Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto, and the terms of the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Grantee and the Company, and supersede all other agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to this award of Performance Shares.

References herein to "Agreement" shall mean the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, inclusive of this Exhibit A, and references to "Award" shall mean the award of Performance Shares evidenced by the Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **<u>Company EPS Performance Measures</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Qualifying Performance Measure and Qualifying Performance Goal</u>: The qualifying performance measure is Company EPS (as defined below), and the qualifying performance goal is the achievement of Company EPS of **_____** for the Performance Period ("Qualifying Performance Goal").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Determination of Achievement Relative to Qualifying Performance Goal</u>: Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine the level of the Qualifying Performance Goal achieved in its sole discretion. Performance at or above the threshold level set forth in the chart in Section 3(b) of this Exhibit A (the "Threshold") will result in all or a portion of the Performance Shares becoming earned ("Earned Performance Shares"). Earned Performance Shares will vest as set forth below. Performance Shares will be forfeited and cancelled in full if the Company's performance during the Performance Period does not meet or exceed the Threshold of the Qualifying Performance Goal. To the extent the Earned Performance Shares are less than the Target Performance Shares, such excess Performance Shares shall be forfeited and cancelled. The level of the Qualifying Performance Goal achieved and the corresponding number of Earned Performance Shares shall be determined by the Committee in writing as soon as practicable following the last day of the Performance Period, such date being referred to herein as the "Certification Date."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Vesting Date for Earned Performance Shares</u>: Subject to Section 5 of this Exhibit A, 100% of the Earned Performance Shares will vest on the Certification Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Payment of Shares for Earned and Vested Performance Shares</u>: The Company will issue shares of Common Stock and pay dividend equivalents to the Grantee with respect to any Earned Performance Shares not later than 30 days following the Certification Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **<u>Additional Definitions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Performance Period</u> means the ______-year period ending on ________ ___, 20__.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Company EPS</u> means the cumulative fully diluted earnings per share of the Company during the Performance Period calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, exclusive of the after-tax effects of (i) merger and consolidation costs, (ii) deleveraging programs implemented by the Company, (iii) changes in unrealized gain (loss) on speculative derivatives and (iv) other adjustments as determined by the Committee. Company EPS shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, with such determination being final and binding on all parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Qualifying Termination</u> means termination of Service due to death, disability, Retirement, involuntary termination or a resignation for good reason under an employment, severance or other agreement applicable to the Grantee, or an involuntary termination (including a termination for good reason) upon or after a Change in Control, but shall not include a termination for Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Termination Date</u> means the date the Grantee's Service is terminated, regardless of whether or not the termination is a Qualifying Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **<u>Calculation</u>**. For purposes of the Award and this Exhibit A, the number of Performance Shares earned will be calculated by the Committee as follows (and in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of this Exhibit A):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>First</u>: Determine the Company EPS over the Performance Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Second</u>: Plot the payout for the Company EPS determined in Section 3(a) into the appropriate column of the table below and determine the number of Target Performance Shares earned as a percent of target which is the figure in the applicable column in the table below corresponding to the percentage of target Company EPS achieved. Use linear interpolation between points in the table below to determine the corresponding percent of Target Performance Shares earned if the Company's EPS performance is between the Threshold and the maximum level set forth in the table below but not exactly one of the percentage ranks listed in the table below.

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;***Performance/Payout*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;***Threshold*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;***Target*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;***Maximum*** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Company EPS Performance | &nbsp;&nbsp;__% of Qualifying Performance Goal | &nbsp;&nbsp;___% of Qualifying Performance Goal | &nbsp;&nbsp;__%+ of Qualifying Performance Goal |

Note: Awards calculated using this table will be interpolated on a straight-line basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **<u>Rules</u>**. The following rules apply to the computation of the number of Performance Shares earned:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Calculation of Qualifying Performance Goal over the Performance Period</u>: To determine the Company's EPS over the Performance Period under Section 3(a) above, the Qualifying Performance Goal will be calculated annually as of the last day of the Company's fiscal year (each a "Calculation Period"), with the sum of the annual results for each Calculation Period then being added together. In the event that the Company changes its fiscal year end date, the Committee reserves the right to modify the Calculation Period to effectuate the calculation of Company EPS that otherwise would have occurred if the Company fiscal year end date had not changed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>No Guaranteed Payout</u>: The minimum number of Performance Shares which may be earned is zero and the maximum number of Performance Shares which may be earned is ___% of the number of Target Performance Shares. There is no minimum number of Performance Shares or other consideration that will be paid out, and no Performance Shares will be earned if the percentage rank with respect to the Performance Goal is less than the Threshold in the Performance Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the actual number of Earned Performance Shares may be reduced by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion based on such factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate and/or advisable. However, it is the intention of the Committee that it will exercise such negative discretion only in extreme and unusual circumstances. Further, all determinations, calculations, and decisions made by the Committee with respect to the Performance Shares shall be final and binding on all parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **<u>Effect of Certain Events</u>.** The following provisions will apply in the event of the termination of Service or the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period and completion of the vesting period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Termination of Service Prior to a Change in Control</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Termination Due to Qualifying Termination</u>: In the event the Grantee's Service with the Company terminates due to the Grantee's Qualifying Termination prior to the Certification Date following the end of the Performance Period, this Award shall not terminate and Performance Shares may become earned and vested on the Certification Date. The number of Performance Shares which shall become earned and vested shall be equal to the percentage of the Target Performance Shares earned (as certified by the Committee following the end of the Performance Period, or if earlier, the date of a Change in Control) as if the Grantee's Service had not terminated, pro-rated based on the Grantee's number of months' Service during the Performance Period; provided that the Common Stock and dividend equivalents underlying such Earned Performance Shares shall be distributed following the Performance Period at such time as distributions are made to others with respect to such Earned Performance Shares, subject to Section 16.4 of the Plan relating to compliance with Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Termination for Any Reason Other Than Due to a Qualifying Termination</u>: If the Grantee's Service is terminated for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination prior to the Certification Date following the end of the Performance Period, this Award shall terminate, all outstanding Performance Shares hereunder will be forfeited and cancelled, and no additional amounts shall become payable under this Award as of the date of such Service termination; provided, however, in the event of a termination of Service other than due to a Qualifying Termination or Cause, the Committee in its sole discretion may waive the foregoing automatic cancellation provision and pay out on a pro rata basis as set forth in Section 5(a)(i) of this Exhibit A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Effect of Change in Control</u>. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the end of the Performance Period, if a Replacement Award meeting the requirements of Section 11.3 of Plan has not been provided to the Grantee to replace this Performance Share Award, then the number of Performance Shares earned shall be calculated and certified by the Committee, and such Performance Shares shall become earned, vested and payable as follows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Earned Performance Shares:</u> The Performance Shares subject to this Award shall be deemed earned to the extent, as determined by the Committee no later than the effective date of the Change in Control, the Qualifying Performance Goal applicable to the Performance Shares has been met during the Performance Period up to and including the effective date of the Change in Control (using the latest available information prior to the date of the Change in Control), with the Qualifying Performance Goal to be pro-rated by multiplying the Qualifying Performance Goal by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the start of the Performance Period through and including the date of the latest available information used to measure the achievement of the Qualifying Performance Goal, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the three-year Performance Period (the "Pro-Rated Performance Goal"). The Committee shall determine and certify the number of Earned Performance Shares in accordance with Section 3 of this Exhibit A, with the Qualifying Performance Goal to be replaced by the Pro-Rated Performance Goal. The number of Target Performance Shares shall not be pro-rated to reflect the shortened Performance Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Vesting of Performance Shares</u>: The Common Stock and dividend equivalents underlying such Earned Performance Shares shall vest when the number of Earned Performance Shares are certified in subsection 5(b)(i) above and shall be distributed to the Grantee no later than 30 days following such determination and certification.
