      7.           Determination of Incentive
Awards.

       

      (a)           The
determination of incentive criteria and actual Incentive Awards for Participants
and timing and terms of payment of such Incentive Awards shall be made pursuant
to determinations, actions, rules, regulations and procedures adopted and
established from time to time by the Committee.  The Committee shall
identify and designate the individuals eligible to participate in the Plan as an
Executive Officer.

       

      (b)           It
is anticipated, subject in all cases to the determinations to be made by the
Committee, in its sole discretion (which may differ in any way the Committee
determines from the following), that Incentive Awards will be made payable to
Participants, and the Plan will operate, subject to the following
conditions:

       

      (i) the Committee will establish and
approve before the start of a Fiscal Year achievement of certain corporate and
unit performance goals and individual performance criteria as benchmarks for
Incentive Awards;

       

      (ii) the Committee will determine the
measurement period for such achievement of such goals and such performance
criteria, provided, however that such period will correspond to the Company’s
Fiscal Year;

       

      (iii) payment of Incentive Awards
approved by the Committee under the Plan will be made as soon as reasonably
possible after the end of the Fiscal Year for which they are approved after the
audited financial results are made available to the Committee;

       

      (iv)  the Committee will be
assisted in administering the Plan by the Chief Executive Officer, and the
Officers, employees and departments of the Company designated by the Chief
Executive Officer;

       

      (v) the Committee will monitor the Plan
and make adjustments and interpretations, from time to time as it determines, in
its sole discretion to be appropriate;

       

      (vi) goals and performance criteria
established pursuant to the Plan can be modified by the Committee during the
Fiscal Year of the Company for which such goals and criteria were established if
conditions outside the control of the Company or unit arise that made such goals
and criteria obsolete or unreasonable (including increasing or decreasing the
standards involved or replacing them in their entirety); and

       

      (vii) periodic and frequent
communication will be made by the Committee to Participants in the Plan who are
Executive Officers concerning the Plan’s provisions,

operating and financial information of the Company, its divisions, subsidiaries,
and business units thereof.

       

      8.           Payment of Incentive
Awards.  Any Incentive Award to a Participant in the Plan shall
be paid to such Participant as soon as is practicable after the Committee has
approved the amount for that period.  Said payments shall be deemed
additional compensation to such Participant, and payroll taxes shall be withheld
from said payments in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
laws.

       

      9.           Required Repayment
Provision.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, all or a portion of the Incentive Award made to Participants under
this plan is subject to being called for repayment to the Corporation or reduced
in any situation where the Board of Directors of the Corporation or a Committee
thereof determines that fraud, negligence, or intentional misconduct by the
Participant was a contributing factor to the Corporation having to restate all
or a portion of its financial statement(s). The Committee may determine whether
the Corporation  shall effect any such repayment or reduction: (i) by
seeking repayment from the Participant, (ii) by reducing (subject to applicable
law and the terms and conditions of the Plan or any other applicable plan,
program, or arrangement) the amount that would otherwise be awarded or payable
to the Participant under the Incentive Award, the Plan or any other compensatory
plan, program, or arrangement maintained by the Corporation , (iii) by
withholding payment of future increases in compensation (including the payment
of any discretionary bonus amount) or grants of compensatory awards that would
otherwise have been made in accordance with the
Corporation's  otherwise applicable compensation practices, or (iv) by
any combination of the foregoing.  The determination regarding the
Participant’s conduct, and repayment or reduction under this provision shall be
within the sole discretion of the Committee and shall be final and binding on
the Participant and the Corporation.

       

      10.           Change in Control; Minimum
Incentive Awards.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
stated in this Plan, in the event of a Change in Control in any Plan Year, each
Participant in the Plan shall be paid an Incentive Award which is not less than
the prorated portion of the Incentive Award such Participant would otherwise
receive for that Plan Year through the date of such Change in Control; provided
however that that the Company will assume that all thresholds and targets as
specified in Section 7 for such Plan Year shall have been met; and provided
further, that the Incentive Award shall be reduced by any amount otherwise
payable by the Company to the Participant under any other plan, agreement or
arrangement based on substantially the same performance goals, criteria and/or
factors as are applicable under this Plan for that period of time and
performance.

      11.           Nature of Incentive
Awards.

       

      (a)           Incentive
Awards shall be paid only from the general assets of the Company, and no
separate fund nor trust of any kind shall be created or held for the benefit of
any person under this Plan.  No additions to, and no interest or other
earnings on the actual Incentive Award amount shall accrue or be payable to any
Participant.

       

      (b)           Incentive
Awards shall be paid in the form of a lump sum cash payment; provided, that the
amount of the cash payment determined under this Plan may be reduced by an
amount attributable to a grant or award of Common Stock which is made to the
Executive Officer for his/her performance under and pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Long-Term Incentive Plan Stock
Award”) as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine for any Plan
Year.  It is intended that no Common Stock shall be issued as a part
of any Incentive Award under or pursuant to this Plan, that any such Long-Term
Incentive Plan Stock Award shall be issued exclusively from and under the
Long-Term Incentive Plan, provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may take into account such a Long-Term Incentive Plan Stock Award
and reduce the cash payment amount of an Incentive Award to paid under this Plan
by an amount that it attributable to part or all of the value or amount of such
a Long-Term Incentive Plan Stock Award.

       

      (c)           Incentive
Awards paid to Participants under this Plan shall constitute additional special
incentive compensation to such Participants to the extent provided herein, and
are not a part of any Participant’s regular salary.  The payment of an
Incentive Award to a Participant for any Plan Year shall not constitute or be
considered as any increase or change of such Participant’s regular ongoing
salary and compensation otherwise payable by the Company for the Plan Year or
any subsequent period of employment.  The payment of any Incentive
Award under this Plan is completely discretionary with the Board of Directors
and the Committee, as herein provided, and no person shall have any claim to be
granted or to receive any Incentive Award or other amount, benefit or payment,
and no Participant or other person shall have authority to assign or transfer
any Incentive Award or other rights, benefits or payments hereunder, or to enter
into any agreement with any person for the payment of any Incentive Award, or to
make any representation or warranty with respect thereto.

       

      12.           Terms of
Employment.  This Plan does not create a contract of employment
between the Company and any Participant.  This Plan does not limit the
right of the Company to assign or reassign a Participant to a different job or
position, to change his/her title, authority, duties or rate of compensation, or
to discharge or terminate a Participant for any reason, or for no
reason.

      13.           Termination of
Employment.

       

      (a)           Generally.  Except
as otherwise provided herein, upon a Participant’s termination of employment
with the Company, the Participant’s rights, if any, to an Incentive Award
hereunder shall terminate.  Except as otherwise provided herein, a
Participant must be employed on December 31 of a Fiscal Year or the last day of
any other applicable measurement period in order to receive an Incentive Award
with respect to the Fiscal Year or measurement period,
respectively.

       

      (b)           Death, Disability or
Retirement.  In the event the Participant’s employment is
terminated due to death, Disability or Retirement, the Participant (or the
Participant’s beneficiary) shall be paid an Incentive Award which is not less
than the prorated part of the Incentive Award such Participant would otherwise
receive for that Plan Year based on the Company’s performance through the date
of such termination.

       

      14.           Amendment or
Termination.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
expressed or implied herein, the Company may at any time amend, modify, suspend
or terminate the Plan by resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors.  The amendment, modification, suspension or termination of
the Plan may be made upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors,
in its sole discretion, determines to be appropriate, and may involve
modification, suspension or termination of any anticipated or possible future
Incentive Awards to Participants under the Plan which have not been paid, even
if the particular performance goals and criteria for such Incentive Awards or
payment thereof have been established for a Plan Year.

       

      15.           Applicable
Law.  This Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma (regardless of the law that
must otherwise govern under applicable Oklahoma principles of conflict
laws).

5.   The Institution, by execution of this Stipulation and Consent, authorizes
     the OTS to provide otherwise confidential information about the Institution
     to third parties to facilitate the possible acquisition of the Institution
     by a qualified buyer, sale of the Institution's assets or the purchase of
     the Institution's branches, or the possible merger of the Institution with
     a qualified merger partner.

6.   The Institution, by execution of this Stipulation and Consent, authorizes
     the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to provide otherwise
     confidential information to third parties to facilitate the liquidation or

     The Institution hereby agrees that upon notification that it is "critically
     undercapitalized" pursuant to Section 565.3 of the OTS Regulations, 12
     C.F.R. ss. 565.3, the Institution will cooperate fully with the FDIC to
     avoid a loss or otherwise minimize exposure to the insurance fund. Such
     cooperation includes, but is not limited to, responding to requests for
     information, providing full access to personnel, agents and service
     providers, and accommodating on-site visits. Nothing herein shall be
     interpreted to preclude such cooperation with the FDIC at any time prior to
     such time as the Institution may be notified that it is "critically
     undercapitalized".

     acknowledges that the PCA Directive is enforceable pursuant to Section 5(d)

     C.F.R. ss. 565.7) in connection with issuance of the PCA Directive;

     (c) its right to seek judicial review of the PCA Directive, including, but
     not limited to, any such right provided by Section 8(h) of FDIA, 12 U.S.C.
     ss. 1818(h); and

     (d) its right to challenge or contest in any manner the basis, issuance,
     validity or enforceability of the PCA Directive or any provision thereof.

9.   The Cease and Desist Order dated April 25, 2008, remains in effect.

10.  (a) The laws of the United States of America shall govern the construction
     and validity of this Stipulation and Consent and the PCA Directive.

     (b) All references to the OTS in this Stipulation and Consent and the PCA
