                       STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
                             [STOCK SETTLEMENT FORM]

Participant Name...........................................................
Date of Grant..............................................................
Grant Price ("Grant Price") per Stock Appreciation Right...................
Number of Share equivalents subject to this Award..........................
Expiration Date............................................................

We are pleased to inform you that, as an employee or director of Cass
Information Systems, Inc. ("Cass") or one of its Subsidiaries, you have been
granted an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights (also referred to as a "SARs")
under the Cass Information Systems, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan (the
"Plan"). The SARs give you the opportunity to receive a stock settlement at the
time of exercise of the SARs equal to the result of multiplying (a) the excess
of the Fair Market Value of a share of Cass common stock on the date of exercise
date over the Grant Price by (b) the number of Share equivalents with respect to
which the SAR or SARs is or are exercised. This Award is subject to your
acceptance of this Award as provided in Section 1 below and the terms and
conditions that follow in this Agreement.

The date of the Award evidenced by this Agreement (the "Date of Grant") and the
date the SARs expire (the "Expiration Date") are set forth above.

The terms and conditions of this Award, including non-standard provisions
permitted by the Plan, are set forth below.

1. Acceptance of SARs. This Award is to be accepted by signing your name on the
signature page of two copies of this Agreement and cause them to be delivered to
the Vice President - Human Resources of Cass, 13001 Hollenberg Drive, Bridgeton,
MO 63044, before 4:30 p.m. Central time on the 30th day after the Date of Grant.
If the Vice President - Human Resources does not timely receive your properly
signed copies of this Agreement, then, despite anything else provided in this
Agreement, this Agreement will be void as if it was never awarded to you and
will be of no effect. Your signing and timely delivering the copies of this
Agreement will evidence your acceptance of the SARs on the terms and conditions
stated in this Agreement.

2. When You Can Exercise the SARs; What You Will Receive Upon Exercise.

      (a)   Unless previously forfeited or subject to the other provisions of
            this Agreement, one third of the SARs subject to this grant shall
            first be exercisable after the first anniversary of the Date of
            Grant; the next one third of the SARs shall first become exercisable
            after the second anniversary of the Date of Grant and the remaining
            one third of the SARs shall first become exercisable after the third
            anniversary of the Date of Grant. For purposes of this Agreement, a
            SAR is "vested" when it becomes exercisable.

<PAGE>

      (b)   Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5 and 6, the SARs shall
            lapse on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) the tenth
            anniversary of the Date of Grant.

      (c)   SARs shall not become exercisable unless you remain continuously in
            the employ or service of Cass or of one of its Subsidiaries, except
            as provided in Sections 5 and 6.

      (d)   The right to exercise shall be cumulative. If the full number of
            SARs available for exercise for a period, as provided in Section
            2(a), are not exercised, the balance may be exercised at any time or
            from time to time thereafter prior to the termination of the SARs.
            The SARs shall not, however, be exercisable after their expiration
            as provided in Section 2(b).

      (e)   Upon exercise of a SAR evidenced by this Agreement, you shall
            receive a number of shares of common stock of Cass determined as
            follows:

            (i)   Subtract the Grant Price from the Fair Market Value of a share
                  of Cass common stock on the exercise date.

            (ii)  Multiply the amount determined under Subsection 2(e)(i) by the
                  number of SARs being exercised.

            (iii) Divide the product determined under Subsection 2(e)(ii) by the
                  Fair Market Value of a share of Cass common stock on the date
                  of exercise.

            (iv)  A number of shares of Cass common stock equal to the result
                  under Subsection 2(e)(iii) shall be transferred to you no
                  later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following
                  the calendar year in which the SAR is exercised.

            (v)   If this computation results in a fractional share of Cass
                  common stock, you shall not receive cash or Cass common stock
                  in lieu of the fractional share.

3. Notice of Exercise. SARs are exercised by delivering a signed Notice of
Exercise in the form attached to this Agreement to Cass's Vice President - Human
Resources at the office specified in Section 21 below. Delivery of a signed
Notice of Exercise constitutes your legally binding irrevocable exercise of the
SARs. In the case of any delivery by facsimile transmission, the original Notice
of Exercise form shall be promptly forwarded by you by hand delivery or mail to
the Vice President - Human Resources of Cass following such facsimile
transmission. If a properly signed Notice of Exercise form is not received by
Cass's Vice President - Human Resources by the applicable expiration date
specified in Sections 2(b), 5 or 6, the notice will be deemed void and of no
effect. If notice of exercise of the SARs is given by a person other than you,
Cass may require as a condition to exercise of the SARs the submission to Cass
of appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the SARs. A SAR is
deemed to have been exercised on the date on which the Notice of Exercise is
received by Cass's Vice President - Human Resources as described above.

<PAGE>

4. Transferability of Your SARs. The SARs shall not be transferable by you other
than upon your death pursuant to Beneficiary Designation, your will or the laws
of descent and distribution. During your lifetime the SARs shall be exercisable
only by you. Any transferred SARs shall continue to be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of
Sections 2(b), 5 and 6. Any transfer permitted under this Agreement shall be
promptly reported in writing to Cass's Vice President - Human Resources. You may
designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries ("Designated Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries") on the Designated Beneficiary form attached to this Agreement to
receive SARs which are exercisable at the time of your death and which become
exercisable on your death. If you do not complete the Beneficiary Designation
form or if, after your death, your Designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries has
or have died or cannot be located, your SARs shall be transferred in accordance
with your will or, if you have no will, in accordance with the applicable state
laws of descent and distribution.

5. Effect of Death, Retirement or Total Disability. If your employment by or
service with Cass or one of its Subsidiaries terminates by reason of your death,
Retirement or Total Disability or if you die within ninety days of your
termination of employment for other than Retirement or Total Disability, all of
the SARs, to the extent not previously forfeited, become immediately exercisable
in full and non-forfeitable on your death, Retirement or Total Disability and
such SARs, including SARs which became exercisable prior to your death,
Retirement or Total Disability but are not exercised as of the date of your
death, Retirement or Total Disability, shall continue to be exercisable for the
lesser of (i) one year from the date of your termination of service or
employment on account of your death, Retirement or Total Disability, (ii) one
year from your death after termination of employment for a reason other than
Retirement or Total Disability or (iii) the remaining term of the SAR. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Retirement" or "Retire" means normal or postponed
retirement under the Retirement Plan for Employees of Cass Information Systems,
Inc.

6. Effect of Other Causes of Termination of Employment or Service.

      (a)   If your employment or service with Cass or a Subsidiary terminates
            other than by reason of your death, Retirement or Total Disability,
            the SARs shall be exercisable only with respect to the number of
            Share equivalents which are exercisable on the date of your
            termination of employment or service and then must be exercised, if
            at all, within the lesser of (i) ninety days after such severance of
            employment or (ii) the remaining term of the SAR.

      (b)   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no SARs,
            including SARs which become exercisable but are not exercised prior
            to such termination of service of employment, shall be exercisable
            after your employment or service with Cass or any Subsidiary is
            Terminated for Cause, including Termination for Cause after a Change
            of Control.

7. Transfer of Employment; Leave of Absence. A transfer of your employment from
Cass to a Subsidiary or vice versa, or from one Subsidiary to another, without
an intervening period, shall not be deemed a termination of employment. If you
are granted an authorized leave of absence, you shall be deemed to have remained
in (i) the employ of the company by which you are employed or (ii) service as a
director of Cass during such leave of absence. Your employment by a Subsidiary
shall be considered terminated on the date the company for which you are
employed is no longer a Subsidiary of Cass.

<PAGE>

8. Change in Control. Except as provided in Section 6(b), all SARs subject to
this Agreement shall become fully exercisable on and after a Change in Control.

9. Tax Matters.

      (a)   You should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences
            of receiving the SARs, SARs becoming exercisable and exercising the
            SARs.

      (b)   On exercise of a SAR, Federal income tax withholding (and state and
            local income tax withholding, if applicable) may be required in
            respect of taxes on income realized. You agree to deliver to Cass
            only the amounts the Committee determines should be withheld,
            provided, however, that you may pay a portion or all of such
            withholding taxes by (i) electing to have Cass withhold a portion of
            the shares of Cass stock that would otherwise be delivered to you
            upon exercise of a SAR or (ii) delivering shares of Cass stock that
            you have owned for at least six months, in either case, having a
            Fair Market Value (as of the date that the amount of taxes is to be
            withheld) in the sum of the amount to be withheld plus reasonable
            expenses of selling such shares, and provided further that your
            election shall be irrevocable and subject to the approval of the
            Committee.

10. Employment and Service Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right to
continue in the employ or other service of Cass or any of its Subsidiaries or
limit in any way the right of your employer to change your compensation or other
benefits or to terminate your employment or other service with or without cause.

11. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence regarding the delivery of notices
under this Agreement. There is no grace period.

12. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
on the parties to this Agreement and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, legal representatives and successors. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, whenever the term "you" is used in any provision of
this Agreement under circumstances where the provision appropriately applies to
the heirs, executors, administrators, or legal representatives to whom this
Award may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, the
term "you" shall be deemed to include such person or persons.

13. Plan Provisions Govern.

      (a)   This Award is subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and
            other provisions of the Plan as if all those provisions were set
            forth in their entirety in the Agreement. If any provision of this
            Agreement conflicts with a provision of the Plan, the Plan provision
            shall control.

<PAGE>

      (b)   You acknowledge that a copy of the Plan and a prospectus summarizing
            the Plan was distributed or made available to you and that you were
            advised to review that material before entering into this Agreement.
            You waive the right to claim that the provisions of the Plan are not
            binding on you and your heirs, executors, administrators, legal
            representatives and successors.

      (c)   Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the
            meanings given those terms in the Plan.

      (d)   By your signature below, you represent that you are familiar with
            the terms and provisions of the Plan and hereby accept this
            Agreement subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan.
            You have reviewed the Plan and this Agreement in their entirety and
            fully understand all provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. You
            agree to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and
            interpretations of the Committee on any questions arising under the
            Plan or this Agreement.

14. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the state of Missouri despite any laws of that
state that would apply the laws of a different state. In the event of litigation
arising in connection with this Agreement and/or the Plan, the parties hereto
agree to submit to the jurisdiction of state and Federal courts located in the
state of Missouri.

15. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application
of this Agreement to any person or circumstance, shall at any time or to any
extent be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect as written, both
parties intend for any court construing this Agreement to modify or limit that
provision so as to render it valid and enforceable to the fullest extent allowed
by law. Any provision that is not susceptible of reformation shall be ignored so
as to not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement, and the
remainder of this Agreement, or the application of that term or provision to
persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term and
provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

16. Entire Agreement; Modification. The Plan and this Agreement contain the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter
contained in this Agreement and may not be modified, except as provided in the
Plan, as it may be amended from time to time in the manner provided in the Plan,
or in this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time by a written
document signed by each of the parties to this Agreement. Any oral or written
agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other
communications with the respect to the subject matter contained in this
Agreement made before the signing of this Agreement shall be void and
ineffective for all purposes.

17. Listing: Securities Considerations. Despite anything else in this Agreement,
if at any time the Board determines, in its sole discretion, the listing,
registration or qualification (or an updating of any such document) of the SARs
issuable under this Agreement is necessary on any securities exchange or under
any federal or state securities or blue sky law, or that the consent or approval

<PAGE>

of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of,
or in connection with the issuance of the SARs, or the removal of any
restrictions imposed on such SAR, such SAR shall not be exercisable, in whole or
in part, nor the restrictions on the SARs removed, unless such listing,
registration, qualifications, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to Cass.

18. Authority to Receive Payments. Any amount payable to or for the benefit of a
minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receiving such
payments therefore shall be deemed paid when paid to the conservator of such
person's estate or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for
the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge Cass and members
of the Committee and the Board with respect thereto.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

20. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

21. Notices; Electronic Delivery. All notices, demands or other communications
to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement
