Dear Tom,

At your direction, I am writing this letter to confirm our agreement regarding
some elements of my compensation.

STOCK OPTIONS

I currently have options to purchase 30,000 shares of First State Financial
Corporation common stock at $5.25. These options vest evenly over a five-year
period at 6,000 shares a year, or at such time there is a change of control,
whichever comes first. As of this writing, I am presently vested in 12,000
shares, with an additional 6,000 shares vested by December 31, 2004.

PERFORMANCE BONUS

The profit plan for the year ended December 31, 2004 calls for after tax
earnings of $1.5 million and an ending asset level of $250 million. Should the
bank achieve this level of assets and create this level of profitability, I will
have earned a performance bonus of 30% of my base earnings. Should the bank grow
more than the plan, or earn more than the plan, I will earn a larger bonus. The
amount of this bonus will be at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board,
however, the bonus will be paid before the end of the month following the end of
the year.

I trust this letter is in agreement with your understanding. If that is the
case, please execute the original and copy of this letter and send back to me.

Sincerely,                              ACCEPTED BY:

/s/ Corey J. Coughlin                   /s/ Thomas W. Wright

Stock which would remain available for issuance under (i) the Predecessor Plan
if shares were issued on the effective date of this Plan sufficient to satisfy
all grants then outstanding under the Predecessor Plan, and (ii) the options to
purchase Stock granted to the President and Chief Executive Officer of First
State, plus (c) the number of shares of Stock subject to grants (i) under the

the terms of such grants, and (ii) to the President and Chief Executive Officer
of First State which are outstanding on the effective date of this Plan and
which are forfeited or expire on or after such effective date in accordance with
the terms of such grants; provided, however, only the shares of Stock described

on or after the date this Plan becomes effective.

SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE

      This Plan shall be effective on the date the shareholders of First State

this Plan.

SECTION 5. COMMITTEE

      This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject to the
provisions of this Plan (including Sections 10, 11, and 12), the Committee shall
have the power, authority, and sole and exclusive discretion to construe,
interpret and administer this Plan, including without limitation, the power and
authority to make factual determinations relating to Plan grants and correct
mistakes in Option, and to take such other action in the administration and
operation of this Plan as the Committee deems equitable under the circumstances.
Such actions of the Committee shall be binding on First State, on each affected
Employee and Director and on each other person directly or indirectly affected
by such action. The Committee may delegate such powers and duties, whether
ministerial or discretionary, as the Committee may deem appropriate, including,
but not limited to, authorizing the Committee's delegate to execute agreements
evidencing the grant of Options or other documents on the Committee's behalf.

SECTION 6. ELIGIBILITY

      Employees and Directors shall be eligible for the grant of Options under

the right to grant Options to Employees and Directors under this Plan from time
to time to purchase shares of Stock, and Options may be granted for any reason
the Committee deems appropriate under the circumstances, including in lieu of
compensation otherwise payable in cash. Each grant of an Option shall be
evidenced by an Option Agreement, and each Option Agreement shall set forth
whether the Option is an ISO or a NQO and shall set forth such other terms and
conditions of such grant as the Committee acting in its absolute discretion
deems consistent with the terms of this Plan. All Options granted to Directors
shall be NQOs.

      7.2.  $100,000 Limit. The aggregate Fair Market Value of ISOs granted to
an Employee under this Plan and incentive stock options granted to such Employee
under any other stock option plan adopted by First State, or a Subsidiary which
first become exercisable in any calendar year (which begins on or after January
1, 2005) shall not exceed $100,000. Such Fair Market Value figure shall be
determined by the Committee on the date the ISO or other incentive stock option
is granted, and the Committee shall interpret and administer the limitation set
forth in this Section 7.2 in accordance with Section 422(d) of the Code.

      7.3.  Share Limitations

                                       4
<PAGE>

            (a)   Employees. An Employee may not be granted in any calendar year
      Options which in the aggregate relate to more than such amount of shares
      of Stock as the Board shall determine.

            (b)   Directors. The Directors as a group may not over the life of
      this Plan be issued in the aggregate more than 100,000 shares of Stock in
      connection with the exercise of Options, less the number of shares of
      Stock issued to Directors pursuant to the Predecessor Plan.

      7.4.  Option Price and Exercise Period.

            (a)   Option Price. The Option Price for each share of Stock subject
      to an Option shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of
      Stock on the date the Option is granted. The Option Price shall be payable
      in full upon the exercise of any Option. Except in accordance with the
      provisions of Section 10 of this Plan, the Committee shall not, absent the
      approval of First State's shareholders, take any action, whether through
      amendment, cancellation, replacement grants, or any other means, to reduce
      the Option Price of any outstanding Options.

            (b)   Exercise Period. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be
      exercisable in whole or in part at such time or times as set forth in the
      related Option Agreement, but no Option Agreement shall make an Option
      exercisable before the date such Option is granted or on or after the date
      which is the tenth anniversary of the date such Option is granted. In the
      discretion of the Committee, an Option Agreement may provide for the
      exercise of an Option after the employment of an Employee or the status of
      an individual as a Director has terminated for any reason whatsoever,
      including death or disability.

      7.5.  Method of Exercise.

            (a)   Committee Rules. An Option may be exercised as provided in
      this Section 7.5 pursuant to procedures (including, without limitation,
      procedures restricting the frequency or method of exercise) as shall be
      established by the Committee or its delegate from time to time for the
      exercise of Options.

            (b)   Notice and Payment. An Option shall be exercised by delivering
      to First State's President and Chief Executive Officer or his delegate
      during the period in which such Option is exercisable, (1) written notice
      of exercise in, a form acceptable to the Committee indicating the specific
      number of shares of Stock subject to the Option which are being exercised
      and (2) payment in full of the Option Price for such specific number of
      shares. An Option Agreement, at the discretion of the Committee, may
      provide for the payment of the Option Price by any of the following means:

                  (1)   in cash, electronic funds transfer or a check acceptable
            to the Committee;

                  (2)   in Stock which has been held by the Employee or Director
            for a period acceptable to the Committee and which Stock is
            otherwise acceptable to the Committee, provided that the Committee
            may impose whatever restrictions it deems necessary or desirable
            with respect to such method of payment;

                  (3)   through a broker-facilitated cashless exercise procedure
            acceptable to the Committee; or

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  (4)   in any combination of the methods described in this
            Section 7.5 (b) which is acceptable to the Committee.

Any payment made in Stock shall be treated as equal to the Fair Market Value of
such Stock on the date the properly endorsed stock certificate for such Stock is
delivered to the Committee or, if payment is effected through a certification of
ownership of Stock in lieu of a stock certificate, on the date the Option is
exercised.

            (c)   Restrictions. The Committee may from time to time establish
      procedures for restricting the exercise of Options on any given date as
      the result of excessive volume of exercise requests or any other problem
      in the established system for processing Option exercise requests or for
      any other reason the Committee or its delegate deems appropriate or
      necessary.

      7.6.  Nontransferability. Except to the extent the Committee deems
permissible under Section 422(b) of the Code and Rule 16b-3 and consistent with
the best interests of First State, an Option granted under this Plan shall not
be transferable by an Employee or a Director other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution. Any such Option grant under this Plan shall be
exercisable during an Employee's or Director's lifetime, as the case may be,
only by the Employee or the Director, provided that in the event an Employee or
Director is incapacitated and unable to exercise such Employee's or Director's
Option, such Employee's or Director's legal guardian or legal representative
whom the Committee (or its delegate) deems appropriate based on all applicable
facts and circumstances presented to the Committee (or its delegate) may
exercise such Employee's or Director's Option, in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan and the applicable Option Agreement. The person or persons to whom
an Option is transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
thereafter shall be treated as the Employee or the Director under this Plan.

SECTION 8. SECURITIES REGISTRATION

      Each Option Agreement shall provide that, upon the receipt of shares of
Stock as a result of the exercise of an Option, the Employee or Director shall,
if so requested by First State, hold such shares of Stock for investment and not
with a view of resale or distribution to the public and, if so requested by
First State, shall deliver to First State a written statement satisfactory to
First State to that effect. As for, Stock issued pursuant to this Plan, First
State may at its expense take such action as it deems necessary or appropriate
to register the original issuance of such Stock to an Employee or Director under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under any other applicable securities
laws or to qualify such Stock for an exemption under any such laws prior to the
issuance of such Stock to an Employee or Director; however, First State shall
have no obligation whatsoever to take any such action or to take any action in
connection with the transfer, resale or other disposition of such Stock by an
Employee.

SECTION 9. LIFE OF PLAN

      No Option shall be granted under this Plan on or after the earlier of

            (1)   the tenth anniversary of the date the Board adopts this Plan,
      in which event this Plan otherwise thereafter, shall continue in effect
      until all outstanding Options have been exercised in full or no longer are
      exercisable, or

            (2)   the date on which all of the Stock reserved under Section 3 of
      this Plan has as a result of the exercise of all Options been issued or no
      longer is available for use under this Plan, in which event this Plan also
      shall terminate on such date.

SECTION 10. ADJUSTMENT

      10.1. Capital Structure. The number, kind or class (or any combination
thereof) of shares of Stock reserved under Section 3 of this Plan, the grant
limitations described in Section 7.3 of this Plan, the number, kind or class (or
any combination thereof) of shares of Stock subject to Options granted under
this Plan and the Option Price of such Options shall be adjusted by the Board in
an equitable manner to reflect any change in the capitalization of First State,
including, but not limited to, such changes as stock dividends or stock splits.

      10.2. Mergers. The Board as part of any corporate transaction described in
Code Section 424(a) shall have the right to adjust (in any manner which the
Board in its discretion deems consistent with Code Section 424(a)) the number,
kind or class (or any combination thereof) of shares of Stock reserved under
Section 3 of this Plan and the grant limitations described in Section 7.3 of
this Plan. Furthermore, the Board as part of any corporate transaction described
in Code Section 424(a) shall have the right to adjust (in any manner which the
Board in its discretion deems consistent with Code Section 424(a)) and the
number, kind or class (or any combination thereof) of shares subject to Option
grants previously made under this Plan and the related Option Price for each
such Option, and, further, shall have the right (in any manner which the Board
in its discretion deems consistent with Code Section 424(a) and without regard
to the grant limitations described in Section 7.3 of this Plan) to make Option
grants to effect the assumption of, or the substitution for option right grants
previously made by any other corporation to the extent that such corporate
transaction calls for such substitution or assumption of such option rights
grants.

      10.3. Fractional Shares. If any adjustment under this Section 10 would
create a fractional share of Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of
Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of
Stock reserved under this Plan and the number subject to any Options shall be
the next lower number of shares of Stock, rounding all fractions downward. Any
adjustment made under this Section 10 by the Board shall be conclusive and
binding on all affected persons.

SECTION 11. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

      This Plan may be amended by the Board from time to time to the extent that
the Board deems necessary or appropriate; provided, however, no such amendment
shall be made absent the approval of the shareholders of First State to the
extent such approval is required under applicable law, Code Section 422, Rule
16b-3 or any applicable NASD rule. The Board also may suspend the granting of
Options under this Plan at any time and may terminate this Plan at any time. The
Board or the Committee shall have the right to modify, amend or cancel
(retroactively or prospectively) any Option granted before such suspension or
termination if (1) the Employee or Director consents in writing to such
modification, amendment or cancellation (except that in no case can Options be
repriced either by cancellation and regrant or by lowering the exercise price of
a previously granted award) or (2) there is a dissolution or liquidation of
First State or a transaction described in Section 10 of this Plan. Suspension or
termination of the Plan shall not affect the Committee's ability to exercise the
powers granted to it with respect to Options granted under this Plan prior to
the date of such suspension or termination.

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

                                       7
<PAGE>

      12.1. Shareholder Rights. No Employee or Director shall have any rights as
a shareholder of First State as a result of the grant of an Option under this
Plan or his or her exercise of such Option pending the actual delivery of the
Stock subject to such Option to such Employee or Director.

      12.2. No Contract of Employment or Director Status. The grant of an Option
to an Employee or a Director under this Plan shall not constitute a contract of
employment or an agreement to continue his or her status as an Employee or a
Director and shall not confer on an Employee or Director any rights in addition
to those rights, if any, expressly set forth in the Option Agreement which
evidences his or her Option.

      12.3. Share Retention Guidelines. Shares of Stock acquired by an Employee
under this Plan upon the exercise of an Option may be subject to share retention
guidelines established by First State.

      12.4. Withholding. The exercise of any Option granted under this Plan
shall constitute an Employee's or Director's full and complete consent to
whatever action the Committee deems necessary to satisfy the minimum federal and
state tax withholding requirements, if any, which the Committee acting in its
discretion deems applicable to such exercise. The Committee also shall have the
right to provide in an Option Agreement that an Employee or Director may elect
to satisfy minimum federal and state tax withholding requirements, if any,
through a reduction in the number of shares of Stock actually transferred, or
the cash payments to be made, to him or to her under this Plan, and any such
election and any such reduction shall be effected so as to satisfy the
conditions to the exemption under Rule 16b-3.

      12.5  Construction.

            (a)   Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed under the laws of
      the State of Florida (excluding its choice-of-law rules) to the extent not
      superseded by federal law.

            (b)   Invalid Provisions. In the event any provision of this Plan
      shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or
      invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, and this
      Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid
      provision had not been included.

            (c)   Conflicts. In the event of a conflict between the terms of
      this Plan and any Option Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall prevail.
