Exhibit 10.1

SOUTHWEST BANCORP, INC.

2008 STOCK BASED AWARD PLAN

1. Purpose of the Plan.

	 	(a)	 	The purpose of this Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 2008 Stock Based Award Plan (the “Plan”) is
to advance the interests of Southwest by providing directors and selected key Employees of
Stillwater National, Southwest, and their Affiliates with the opportunity to acquire a
proprietary interest in Southwest. By encouraging stock ownership and granting awards whose
value is based upon stock performance, Southwest seeks to attract, retain and motivate the
best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility; to provide additional
incentive to directors and key Employees of Southwest or any Affiliate to promote the
success of the business as measured by the value of its shares; and generally to increase
the commonality of interests among directors, key employees and other shareholders.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Plan is intended to replace the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (the
“1999 Plan”) upon this Plan’s approval by shareholders of Southwest. Options issued under
the 1999 Plan will continue in effect and will be subject to the requirements of the 1999
Plan, but no new options will be granted under the 1999 Plan after this Plan is approved by
shareholders. Options granted under the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the
“1994 Plan”), which was replaced by the 1999 Plan, will continue in effect and will be
subject to the requirements of the 1994 Plan.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Plan is not intended as an agreement or promise of employment. Neither the Plan, nor
any Option granted pursuant to the Plan, confers on any person any right to continue in the
employ of Southwest. The right of Southwest, Stillwater National, or any of their affiliates
to terminate the employment of an Employee is not limited by the Plan or by any Award
granted pursuant to the Plan unless such right is specifically described by the terms of any
such Award.

granted under the Plan after ten years from the Effective Date.

Shares issued under the Plan may either be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares held in

without having been exercised or becoming vested in full, the Optioned Shares shall, unless
the Plan shall have been terminated, be available for the grant of additional Awards under

pleasure of the Board. In the absence at any time of a duly appointed Committee, the Plan

the Committee. In the case of Performance Stock Units, the Directors on the Committee also
must be outside directors for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.

	 	(b)	 	Powers of the Committee. Except as limited by the express provisions of the Plan or by
resolutions adopted by the Board, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority and
discretion (i) to select Participants and grant Awards, (ii) to determine the form and
content of Awards to be issued in the form of Agreements under the Plan, (iii) to interpret
the Plan, (iv) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan,
and (v) to make other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan. The Committee shall have and may exercise such other power and authority as may be
delegated to it by the Board from time to time. A majority of the entire Committee shall
constitute a quorum and the action of a majority of the members present at any meeting at
which a quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by a majority of the Committee
without a meeting, shall be deemed the action of the Committee.

	 	(c)	 	Agreement. Each Award shall be evidenced by a written agreement containing such
provisions as may be approved by the Committee. Each such Agreement shall constitute a
binding contract between Southwest and the Participant, and every Participant, upon
acceptance of such Agreement, shall be bound by the terms and restrictions of the Plan and
of such Agreement. The terms of each such Agreement shall be in accordance with the Plan,
but each Agreement may include such additional provisions and restrictions determined by the
Committee, in its discretion, provided that such additional provisions and restrictions are
not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. In particular, the Committee shall set forth in
each Agreement (i) the Exercise Price of an Option or SAR, (ii) the number of Shares subject
to, and the expiration date of, the Award, (iii) the manner, time and rate (cumulative or
otherwise) of exercise or vesting of such Award, and (iv) the restrictions, if any, to be
placed upon such Award, or upon Shares which may be issued upon exercise of such Award.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Chairman of the Committee and such other officers as shall be designated by the
Committee are hereby authorized to execute Agreements on behalf of Southwest and to cause
them to be delivered to the recipients of Awards.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Effect of the Committee’s Decisions. All decisions, determinations, and interpretations
of the Committee shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected thereby.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have,
the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by Southwest in connection with any claim,
action, suit or proceeding relating to any action taken or failure to act under or in
connection with the Plan or any Award, granted hereunder to the full extent provided for
under Southwest’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws with respect to the indemnification
of Directors.

6. Grant of Options.

	 	(a)	 	General Rule. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant ISOs or Non-ISOs to
Employees of Southwest or its Affiliates and may grant Non-ISOs to Directors of Southwest or
its Affiliates. No person may be granted Options to purchase more than 200,000 Shares in any
calendar year.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Special Rules for ISOs. The aggregate Market Value, as of the date the Option is granted,
of the Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an Employee
during any calendar year (under all incentive stock option plans, as defined in Section 422
of the Code, of Southwest or any present or future Parent or Subsidiary of Southwest) shall
not exceed $100,000. Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this paragraph, the Committee
may grant Options in excess of the foregoing limitation, in which case such Options granted
in excess of such limitation shall be Options which are Non-ISOs.

7. Exercise Price for Options.

	 	(a)	 	Limits on Committee Discretion. The Exercise Price as to any particular Option granted
under the Plan shall not be less than the Market Value of the Optioned Shares on the date of
grant. In the case of an Employee who owns Shares representing more than 10% of Southwest’s
Outstanding Shares of Common Stock at the time an ISO is granted, the Exercise Price shall
not be less than 110% of the Market Value of the Optioned Shares at the time the ISO is
granted.
	 
	 	(b)	 	No Reissuance of Options or SARs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Committee shall not have the authority to cancel outstanding Options or SARs in connection
with a reissuance of new Options or SARs at a lower Exercise Price other than as specified
in paragraph 13.

A-4

 

8. Exercise of Options.

	 	(a)	 	Generally. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such
conditions as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan and of the Agreement granted
to a Participant. An Option may not be exercised for a fractional Share.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Procedure for Exercise. A Participant may exercise Options, subject to provisions
relative to its termination and limitations on its exercise, only by (1) written notice of
intent to exercise the Option with respect to a specified number of Shares, and (2) payment
to Southwest (contemporaneously with delivery of such notice) in cash, in Mature Common
Stock, or a combination of cash and Mature Common Stock, of the amount of the Exercise Price
for the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is then being exercised. Each such
notice (and payment where required) shall be delivered, or mailed by prepaid registered or
certified mail, addressed to the Treasurer of Southwest at Southwest’s executive offices.
Common Stock utilized in full or partial payment of the Exercise Price for Options shall be
valued at its Market Value at the date of exercise.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of any Option that provides for its exercise in
installments as designated by the Committee, such Option shall become immediately
exercisable upon the Optionee’s death or Disability.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Period of Exercisability-ISOs. An ISO may be exercised by an Optionee only while the
Optionee is an Employee and has maintained Continuous Service from the date of the grant of
the ISO, or within three months after termination of such Continuous Service (but not later
than the date on which the Option would otherwise expire), except if the Employee’s
Continuous Service terminates by reason of:

	 	(i)	 	“Just Cause” which for purposes hereof shall have the meaning set forth
in any unexpired employment or severance agreement between the Optionee and
Southwest or any Affiliate (and, in the absence of any such agreement, means
termination because of the Employee’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful
misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure
to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other
than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order), then
the Optionee’s rights to exercise such ISO shall expire on the date of such
termination;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Death, then an ISO of the deceased Optionee may be exercised within two
years from the date of his death (but not later than the date on which the Option
would otherwise expire) by the personal representatives of his estate or person or
persons to whom his rights under such ISO shall have passed by will or by laws of
descent and distribution or otherwise shall have transferred pursuant to this Plan;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Disability then an ISO may be exercised within one year from the date
of such Disability, but not later than the date on which the ISO would otherwise
expire.

	 	(e)	 	Period of Exercisability-Non-ISOs. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the terms
of an Agreement, a Non-ISO may be exercised by an Optionee only while such Optionee is an
Employee, a Director, or a director of an Affiliate, or within three months after
termination of such service (but not later than the date on with the Option would otherwise
expire), except if the Optionee’s service terminates by reason of:

	 	(i)	 	“Just Cause” which for purposes hereof shall have the meaning set forth
in any unexpired employment or severance agreement between the Optionee and
Southwest or any Affiliate (and, in the absence of any such agreement, means
termination because of the Optionee’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful
misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure
to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other
than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order), then
the Optionee’s rights to exercise such Non-ISO shall expire on the date of such
termination; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Removal from the board of directors of Southwest or Stillwater National
pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation or articles of association,
then the Optionee’s rights to exercise such Non-ISO shall expire on the date of
such removal.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Death, then a Non-ISO of the deceased Optionee may be exercised within
two years from the date of his death (but not later than the date on which the
Option would otherwise expire) by the personal representatives of his estate or
person or persons to whom his rights under such Non-ISO shall have

A-5

 

	 	 	 	passed by will or by laws of descent and distribution or otherwise shall have
transferred pursuant to this Plan;

	 	(iv)	 	Disability, then a Non-ISO may be exercised within one year from the
date of such Disability, but not later than the date on which the Non-ISO would
otherwise expire.

	 	(f)	 	Effect of the Committee’s Decisions. The Committee’s determination whether a
Participant’s Continuous Service has ceased, and the effective date thereof shall be final
and conclusive on all persons affected thereby.

9. SARs (Stock Appreciation Rights)

	 	(a)	 	Granting of SARs. In its sole discretion, the Committee may from time to time grant SARs
to Employees either in conjunction with, or independently of, any Options granted under the
Plan. An SAR granted in conjunction with an Option may be an alternative right wherein the
exercise of the Option terminates the SAR to the extent of the number of shares purchased
upon exercise of the Option and, correspondingly, the exercise of the SAR terminates the
Option to the extent of the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.
Alternatively, an SAR granted in conjunction with an Option may be an additional right
wherein both the SAR and the Option may be exercised. An SAR may not be granted in
conjunction with an ISO under circumstances in which the exercise of the SAR affects the
right to exercise the ISO or vice versa, unless the SAR, by its terms, meets all of the
following requirements:

	 	(i)	 	The SAR will expire no later than the ISO;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The SAR may be for no more than the difference between the Exercise
Price of the ISO and the Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO at the time
the SAR is exercised;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The SAR is transferable only when the ISO is transferable, and under
the same conditions;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The SAR may be exercised only when the ISO may be exercised; and
	 
	 	(v)	 	The SAR may be exercised only when the Market Value of the Shares
subject to the ISO exceeds the Exercise Price of the ISO.

	 	(b)	 	Exercise Price. The Exercise Price as to any particular SAR shall not be less than the
Market Value of the Optioned Shares on the date of grant.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Timing of Exercise. Any election by a Participant to exercise SARs shall be made during
the period beginning on the 3rd business day following the release for publication of
quarterly or annual financial information and ending on the 12th business day following such
date. This condition shall be deemed to be satisfied when the specified financial data is
first made publicly available. In no event, however, may an SAR be exercised within the
six-month period following the date of its grant.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Exercise of SARs. An SAR granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under
such conditions as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan and of the Agreement
granted to a Participant, provided that an SAR may not be exercised for a fractional Share.
Upon exercise of an SAR, the Participant shall be entitled to receive, without payment to
Southwest except for applicable withholding taxes, an amount equal to the excess of (or, in
the discretion of the Committee if provided in the Agreement, a portion of) the excess of
the then aggregate Market Value of the number of Optioned Shares with respect to which the
Participant exercises the SAR, over the aggregate Exercise Price of such number of Optioned
Shares. This amount shall be payable by Southwest, in the discretion of the Committee, in
cash or in Shares valued at the then Market Value thereof, or any combination thereof. The
provisions of Paragraphs 8(c) and 8(e) regarding the period of exercisability of Options are
incorporated by reference herein, and shall determine the period of exercisability of SARs.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Procedure for Exercising SARs. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the provisions of
Paragraph 8(b) as to the procedure for exercising Options are incorporated by reference, and
shall determine the procedure for exercising SARs.

	10.	 	Restricted Stock Awards. Any Share of Restricted Stock which the Committee may grant shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions, and otherwise to such other terms and
conditions as are either applicable generally to Awards or prescribed by the Committee in the
applicable Agreement:

	 	(a)	 	Restriction Period. At the time of each award of Restricted Stock, there shall be
established for the Restricted Stock a period (the “Restriction Period”), which shall expire
no later than the tenth anniversary of the grant of

A-6

 

	 	 	 	the Award. Restriction Periods may differ among Participants and may have different
expiration dates with respect to portions of Shares of Restricted Stock covered by the same
Award.

	 	(b)	 	Vesting Restrictions. The Committee shall determine the events or conditions necessary
for the lapse of restrictions applicable to the award of Restricted Stock, which may
include, among other things, requirements of Continuous Service for a specified term or the
attainment of specific performance standards or goals, which restrictions may differ among
Participants. The Agreement for each Restricted Stock Award shall provide for forfeiture of
Shares covered thereby to the extent the Restricted Stock does not vest during the
Restriction Period, except (i) as the Committee may otherwise determine in the Agreement in
connection with the Participant’s death or Disability, or (ii) as required pursuant to
Section 13 in connection with a Change in Control.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Vesting upon Death, or Disability. The Committee shall set forth in the Agreement the
percentage of the award of Restricted Stock, if any, not otherwise vested which shall vest
in the event of death or disability.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding the Restriction Period and the restrictions
imposed on the Restricted Stock as set forth in any Agreement, the Committee may shorten the
Restriction Period or waive any restrictions set forth therein, if the Committee concludes
that it is in the best interests of Southwest to do so.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Ownership and Voting. Stock certificates shall be issued in respect of Restricted Stock
awarded hereunder and shall be registered in the name of the Participant, whereupon the
Participant shall become a shareholder of Southwest with respect to such Restricted Stock
and shall, to the extent not inconsistent with express provisions of the Plan, have all the
rights of a shareholder, including but not limited to the right to receive all dividends
paid on such Shares and the right to vote such Shares. Said stock certificates shall be
deposited with Southwest or its designee, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, and
the following legend shall be placed upon such certificates reflecting that the shares
represented thereby are subject to restrictions against transfer and forfeiture:

“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock
represented thereby are subject to the terms and conditions
(including forfeiture) contained in the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 2008
Stock Based Award Plan, and an agreement entered into between the
registered owner and Southwest Bancorp, Inc. Copies of such Plan and
Agreement are on file in the offices of the Secretary of Southwest
Bancorp, Inc., 608 South Main Street, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74074.”

	 	(f)	 	Delivery of Vested Shares. Upon vesting of Common Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock
Award, Southwest shall promptly deliver the certificates for such Common Stock that have
been deposited with it or its designee. If a legend has been placed on such certificates
pursuant to this Plan, Southwest shall cause such certificates to be reissued without such
legend. Delivery will be made to the Participant, or the legal representative of the
Participant’s estate, or if the personal representative of the Participant’s estate shall
have assigned the estate’s interest in the Restricted Stock, to the person or persons to
whom his rights under such Stock shall have passed by assignment pursuant to his or her will
or to the laws of descent and distribution.

	11.	 	Performance Stock Award Any Shares of Performance Stock which the Committee may grant shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions, and otherwise to such other terms and
conditions as are either applicable generally to Awards or prescribed by the Committee in the
applicable Agreement.

	 	(a)	 	Maximum Award. No Participant may receive a Performance Stock Award with a Market Value
of greater than $2,500,000 at the date of Award.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Performance Period. At the time of each award of Performance Stock, there shall be
established for the Performance Stock Award a period during which the performance goals
established by the Committee for the Award may be achieved (the “Performance Period”) which
shall expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the grant of the Award. Performance
Periods may differ among Participants and may have different expiration dates with respect
to portions of shares of Performance Stock covered by the same Award.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Vesting Restrictions. The Committee shall determine the restrictions applicable to the
award of Performance Stock, based upon the attainment of specific corporate, divisional, or
individual performance standards or goals, which restrictions may differ with respect to
each Participant. A Performance Stock Award will not vest until the Committee certifies (as
described in Section 162(m) of the Code) that the applicable performance goals have been
satisfied. At the discretion of the Committee, the goals may be based upon the attainment of

A-7

 

	 	 	 	one or more of the following business criteria (determined either in absolute terms or
relative to the performance of one or more similarly situated companies or a published index
covering the performance of a number of companies): stock price; earnings per share; stock
total return; and consolidated or business unit: net income, pre-tax net income, return on
average equity, return on average assets, loan or deposit growth, net interest margin or
spread, net loan yield, charge-offs, problem asset levels, operating expenses, numbers of
transaction accounts, and efficiency ratio. The Committee may adjust the performance goals
based upon factors it deems appropriate, such as the costs of business restructuring, unusual
events, and changes in tax law or accounting principles. The Agreement shall provide for
forfeiture of Shares covered thereby to the extent the Performance Stock does not vest during
the Performance Period, except (i) as the Committee may otherwise determine in connection
with the Participant’s death or Disability at the date of grant, or (ii) as required pursuant
to Section 13 in connection with a Change in Control.

	 	(d)	 	Vesting upon Death or Disability. The Committee shall set forth in the Agreement the
percentage of the award of Performance Stock, if any, which shall vest in the Participant in
the event of death or Disability prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period or the
satisfaction of the restrictions applicable to an award of Performance Stock.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding the Restriction Period and the restrictions
imposed on the Performance Stock, as set forth in any Agreement, the Committee may shorten
the Restriction Period or waive any restrictions, if the Committee concludes that it is in
the best interests of Southwest to do so.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Ownership; Voting. Stock certificates shall be issued in respect of Performance Stock
awarded hereunder and shall be registered in the name of the Participant, whereupon the
Participant shall become a shareholder of Southwest with respect to such Performance Stock
and shall, to the extent not inconsistent with express provisions of the Plan, have all the
rights of a shareholder, including but not limited to the right to receive all dividends
paid on such Shares and the right to vote such Shares. Said stock certificates shall be
deposited with Southwest or its designee, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, and
the following legend shall be placed upon such certificates reflecting that the shares
represented thereby are subject to restrictions against transfer and forfeiture:

“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock
represented thereby are subject to the terms and conditions
(including forfeiture) contained in the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 2008
Stock Based Award Plan, and an agreement entered into between the
registered owner and Southwest Bancorp, Inc. Copies of such Plan and
Agreement are on file in the offices of the Secretary of Southwest
Bancorp, Inc., 608 South Main Street, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74074.”

	 	(g)	 	Delivery of Vested Shares. Upon vesting of Common Stock pursuant to a Performance Stock
Award, Southwest shall promptly deliver the certificates for such Common Stock that have
been deposited with it or its designee. If a legend has been placed on such certificates
pursuant to this Plan, Southwest shall cause such certificates to be reissued without such
legend. Delivery will be made to the Participant, or the legal representative of the
Participant’s estate, or if the personal representative of the Participant’s estate shall
have assigned the estate’s interest in the Performance Stock, to the person or persons to
whom his rights under such Common Stock shall have passed by assignment pursuant to his or
her will or to the laws of descent and distribution.

	12.	 	Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Any Restricted Stock Units which the Committee may grant shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions, and otherwise to such other terms and
conditions as are either applicable generally to Awards, or prescribed by the Committee in the
applicable Agreement.

	 	(a)	 	Restriction Period. At the time of each award of Restricted Stock Unit, there shall be
established for the Restricted Stock Unit a period (the “Restriction Period), which shall
expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the grant of the Award. Restriction Periods
may differ among Participants and may have different expiration dates with respect to
portions of Restricted Stock Units covered by the same Award
	 
	 	(b)	 	Vesting Restrictions. The Committee shall determine the events or conditions necessary
for the lapse of restrictions applicable to the Award of Restricted Stock Units, which may
include, among other things, requirements of Continuous Service for a specified term or the
attainment of specific performance standards or goals, which restrictions may differ among
Participants. The Agreement for each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall provide for
forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units covered thereby to the extent the Restricted Stock
Units

A-8

 

	 	 	 	do not vest during the Restriction Period, except (i) as the Committee may otherwise
determine in the Agreement in connection with the Participant’s death or Disability, or (ii)
as required pursuant to Section 13 in connection with a Change in Control.

	 	(c)	 	Vesting upon Death, Disability, or Retirement. The Committee shall set forth in the
Agreement the percentage of the award of Restricted Stock Units, if any, not otherwise
vested which shall vest in the event of death, disability, or retirement.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding the Restriction Period and the restrictions
imposed on the Restricted Stock Unites as set forth in any Agreement, the Committee may
shorten the Restriction Period or waive any restrictions set forth therein, if the Committee
concludes that it is in the best interests of Southwest to do so.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Payment. Upon vesting of Common Stock Units pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award,
Southwest shall promptly pay to the Participant, or the legal representative of the
Participant’s estate, or if the personal representative of the Participant’s estate shall
have assigned the estate’s interest in the Restricted Stock Unit, to the person or persons
to whom his rights under such Stock shall have passed by assignment pursuant to his will or
to the laws of descent and distribution, one unrestricted, fully transferrable share of
Common Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit, or the Market Value per Share in cash on
the date of vesting, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

13. Effect of Changes in Control and Changes in Common Stock Subject to the Plan.

	 	(a)	 	Effects of Change in Control.

	 	(i)	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of any Award that provides for its
exercise or vesting in installments, all Awards shall be immediately exercisable
and fully vested upon a Change in Control except as may be expressly provided in
the governing Agreement for a Performance Stock Award.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	At the time of a Change in Control, each Optionee shall, at the sole
and absolute discretion of the Committee, be entitled to receive a cash payment in
an amount equal to the excess of the Market Value of the Shares subject to such
Option over the Exercise Price of such Option, provided that in no event may an
Option be cancelled in exchange for cash within the six-month period following the
date of its grant. For purposes of calculating this payment, the Market Value shall
be the Market Value at the date of the Change in Control as determined by the
Committee.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	In the event there is a Transaction, all outstanding Awards
shall be surrendered. With respect to each Award so surrendered, the Committee
shall in its sole and absolute discretion determine whether the holder of each
Award so surrendered shall receive—

	 	(A)	 	For each Share then subject to an outstanding Award, an Award
for the number and kind of shares into which each Outstanding Share (other than
Shares held by dissenting shareholders) is changed or exchanged, together with
an appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price in the case of Options and
SARs; or
	 
	 	(B)	 	With respect to Options, the number and kind of shares into
which each Outstanding Share (other than Shares held by dissenting
shareholders) is changed or exchanged in the Transaction that are equal in
market value to the excess of the Market Value on the date of the Transaction
of the Shares subject to the Option, over the Exercise Price of the Option; or
	 
	 	(C)	 	A cash payment (from Southwest or the successor corporation),
in an amount equal to the excess of the Market Value on the date of the
Transaction of the Shares subject to the Award, less the Exercise Price of the
Award in the case of Options and SARs.

The decision of the Committee as to whether a Change in Control has occurred shall be
conclusive and binding and is to be a ministerial rather than a discretionary decision.

	 	(b)	 	Recapitalizations, Stock Splits, Etc. The number and kind of shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan, and the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Options
and the Exercise Price thereof, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase,
decrease, change or exchange of Shares for a different number or kind of shares or other
securities of Southwest which results from a merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification, stock dividend, split-up, combination of shares, or
similar event in which the number or kind of shares is changed without the receipt or
payment of consideration by Southwest.

A-9

 

	 	(c)	 	Special Rule for ISOs. Any adjustment made pursuant to subparagraphs (a)(iii)(A) or (B)
of this Paragraph shall be made in such a manner as not to constitute a modification, within
the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code, of outstanding ISOs.

	 	(d)	 	Conditions and Restrictions on New, Additional, or Different Shares or Securities. If, by
reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Paragraph, a Participant becomes entitled to
new, additional, or different shares of stock or securities, such new, additional, or
different shares of stock or securities shall thereupon be subject to all of the conditions
and restrictions which were applicable to the Shares pursuant to the Award before the
adjustment was made.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Other Issuances. Except as expressly provided in this Paragraph, the issuance by
Southwest or an Affiliate shares of stock of any class, or of securities convertible into
Shares or stock of another class, for cash or property or for labor or services either upon
direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, shall not
affect, and no adjustment shall be made with respect to, the number, class, or Exercise
Price of Shares then subject to Awards or reserved for issuance under the Plan.

14. Non-Transferability of Awards.

	 	(a)	 	ISOs may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any
manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to the
terms of a “qualified domestic relations order” (within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the
Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Awards other than ISOs may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or
disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
pursuant to the terms of a “qualified domestic relations order” (within the meaning of
Section 414(p) of the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder), or, in the sole
discretion of the Committee, in connection with a transfer for estate or retirement planning
purposes to a trust established for such purposes.
	 
	 	(c)	 	An unvested Performance Stock Award may not be transferred during the Performance Period.

15. Time of Granting Awards.

The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the later of the date on which the
Committee makes the determination of granting such Award, and the Effective Date. Notice of
the determination shall be given to each Participant to whom an Award is so granted within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant.

16. Effective Date.

The Plan shall be effective as of approval by the shareholders of Southwest.

17. Modification of Awards.

At any time, and from time to time, the Board may authorize the Committee to direct execution
of an instrument providing for the modification of any outstanding Award, provided no such
modification shall confer on the holder of said Award any right or benefit which could not be
conferred on him or her by the grant of a new Award at such time, or impair the Award without
the consent of the holder of the Award.

18. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

	 	(a)	 	The Board may from time to time amend the terms of the Plan and, with respect to any
Shares at the time not subject to Awards, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided that the
provisions of Paragraph 9 may not be amended more than once every six months (other than to
comport with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, or the rules thereunder) , and provided further that any amendment that is
“material” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 shall be subject to shareholder approval.
	 
	 	(b)	 	No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of any
affected holders of an Award, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award
theretofore granted.

19. Conditions upon Issuance of Shares.

	 	(a)	 	Compliance with Securities Laws. Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued with respect
to any Award unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant
provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, any applicable state securities law, and
the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may

A-10

 

	 	 	 	then be listed. The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 16b-3, and any provision of the Plan
which the Committee determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be inconsistent with
said Rule shall, to the extent of such inconsistency, be inoperative and null and void, and
shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Plan.

	 	(b)	 	Special Circumstances. The inability of Southwest to obtain approval from any regulatory
body or authority deemed by Southwest’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any Shares hereunder shall relieve Southwest of any liability in respect of the
non-issuance or sale of such Shares. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or SAR,
Southwest may require the person exercising the Option or SAR to make such representations
and warranties as may be necessary to assure the availability of an exemption from the
registration requirements of federal or state securities law.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Committee Discretion. The Committee shall have the discretionary authority to impose in
Agreements such restrictions on Shares as it may deem appropriate or desirable, including
but not limited to the authority to impose a right of first refusal or to establish
repurchase rights or both of these restrictions.

20. Reservation of Shares.

Southwest, during the term of the Plan, will reserve and keep available a number of Shares
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

21. Withholding Tax.

Southwest’s obligation to deliver dividends on Restricted Stock, or to deliver Shares upon
exercise of Options and/or SARs or upon the vesting of Restricted Stock (or such earlier time
that the Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code) shall be subject to
the Participant’s satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and
employment tax withholding obligations. The Committee, in its discretion, may permit the
Participant to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by irrevocably electing to have
Southwest withhold Shares, or to deliver to Southwest Shares that he already owns, having a
value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The value of Shares to be withheld, or
delivered to Southwest, shall be based on the Market Value of the Shares on the date the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. As an alternative, Southwest may retain, or
sell without notice, a number of such Shares sufficient to cover the amount required to be
withheld.

22. No Employment or Other Rights.

In no event shall an Employee’s eligibility to participate or participation in the Plan
create or be deemed to create any legal or equitable right of the Employee or any other party
to continue service with Southwest, Stillwater National, or any Affiliate of such
corporations. No Employee shall have a right to be granted an Award or, having received an
Award, the right to again be granted an Award. However, an Employee who has been granted an
Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Award or Awards.

23. Governing Law.

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Oklahoma, except to the extent that federal law shall be deemed to apply.

24. Successors and Assigns.

The Plan shall be binding upon Southwest’s successors and assigns.
