 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
 TO THE 
 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AWARD 
 PURSUANT TO THE CCF HOLDING COMPANY 
 2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

1. Exercise of Option. Subject to the provisions provided herein or in the Award made pursuant to the CCF Holding Company 2007 Stock Incentive
Plan, the Option may be exercised with respect to all or any portion of the vested Option Shares at any time during the Option Period by: 
 (a) the delivery to the Company, at its principal place of business, of a written notice of exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, which shall be actually delivered to the
Company no earlier than thirty (30) days and no later than ten (10) days prior to the date upon which Participant desires to exercise all or any portion of the Option; 
 (b) payment to the Company of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Option Shares being purchased (the “Purchase
Price”) as provided in Section 3; and 
 (c) satisfaction of the withholding tax obligations under Section 2,
if applicable. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award, in the event that the capital of the Company or any
bank subsidiary falls below the minimum requirements determined by the primary state or federal regulator of the Company (the “Regulator”), the Regulator may direct the Company to require the Participant to exercise, or otherwise forfeit,
the Option in whole or in part. If the Regulator gives such direction, the Company will notify the Participant promptly after the Regulator notifies the Company in writing that the Participant must exercise, or otherwise forfeit, the Option in whole
or in part. If the Participant does not exercise the Option in accordance with the Company’s direction within twenty-one (21) days of the Company’s notification to the Participant, the Committee may provide for the cancellation of the
Option. 
 Upon acceptance of such notice and receipt of payment in full of the Purchase Price and, if applicable, any withholding taxes, the Company shall
cause to be issued a certificate representing the Option Shares purchased. 
 2. Withholding. To the extent the Option is deemed to be
a Nonqualified Stock Option in accordance with Section 19 hereof, the Participant must satisfy his federal, state and local, if any, withholding taxes imposed by reason of the exercise of the Option either by paying to the Company the full
amount of the withholding obligation in cash or cash equivalents or, alternatively, by electing, irrevocably and in writing in substantially the form prescribed by the Company (a “Withholding Election”) to (i) tender whole shares of
Common Stock which have been owned by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to the date of exercise having a Fair Market Value equal to the withholding obligation; or (ii) have the smallest number of whole shares of Common
Stock withheld by the Company which, when multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date the Option is exercised, is sufficient to satisfy the amount of minimum required withholding tax obligations. The Participant may make a
Withholding Election only if the following conditions are met: 
 (a) the Withholding Election is made on or prior to the date
on which the amount of tax required to be withheld is determined (the “Tax Date”) by executing and delivering to the Company a properly completed Notice of Withholding in substantially the form prescribed by the Company; and 

 (b) any Withholding Election will be irrevocable; however, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, disapprove and give no effect to the Withholding Election. 
 3. Purchase Price. Payment of the Purchase Price for all
Option Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made: 
 (a) in cash or cash equivalents; 

(b) by the delivery to the Company of a number of shares of Common Stock which have been owned by the Participant for at least six
(6) months prior to the date of exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value, as determined under the plan, on the date of exercise equal to the Purchase Price; 
 (c) by receipt of the Purchase Price in cash from a broker, dealer or other “creditor” as defined by Regulation T issued by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System following delivery by the Participant to the Committee of instructions in a form acceptable to the Committee regarding delivery to such broker, dealer or other creditor of that number of Option
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, but only as and to the extent permitted under Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act (Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002); or 
 (d) in any combination of the foregoing. 
 4. Vesting. 
 (a) The Option Shares shall become vested Option Shares in accordance
with the Vesting Schedule provided in the Award. 
 (b) For purposes of the Vesting Schedule, the Participant shall be granted
a month of service for each full calendar month following the Grant Date during which the employment relationship between the Participant and the Company and its Affiliates continues. No period of time following the Participant’s Termination of
Employment with the Company (including all Affiliates) shall count towards the vesting of Option Shares. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding subsection (a), the Option will be fully vested as of the date of the Participant’s retirement from employment with the Company on or after attaining age fifty-five (55) and completing at least ten (10) consecutive
years of employment with the Company and its Affiliates. 
 (d) Notwithstanding subsection (a) the Option will be fully
vested as of a date determined by the Committee which is no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of a Change in Control. 
 5. Rights as Shareholder. Until the stock certificates reflecting the Option Shares accruing to the Participant upon exercise of the Option are issued to the Participant, the Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with
respect to such Option Shares. The Company shall make no adjustment for any dividends or distributions or other rights on or with respect to Option Shares for which the record date is prior to the issuance of that stock certificate, except as the
Plan or the attached Award otherwise provides. 
  

 2 

 6. Restriction on Transfer of Option and of Option Shares. The Option evidenced hereby is
nontransferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant (or in the event of his Disability, by his personal representative) and after his
death, only by his legatee or the executor of his estate. 
 7. Changes in Capitalization. 
 (a) The number of Option Shares and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted for any nonreciprocal transaction between the
Company and the holders of capital stock of the Company that causes the per share value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a
large, nonrecurring cash dividend. 
 (b) In the event of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend, sale of
substantially all of the Company’s assets or other material change in the capital structure of the Company, or a tender offer for shares of Common Stock, or a Change in Control, the Committee shall take such action to make such adjustments in
the Option or the terms of this Award as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith is necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, adjusting the number and class of securities subject to the Option, with a
corresponding adjustment in the Exercise Price, substituting a new option to replace the Option, accelerating the termination of the Option Period, removing any restrictions, or terminating the Option in consideration of a cash payment to the
Participant in an amount equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price of the Option Shares. Any determination made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 7(b) will be final and
binding on the Participant. Any action taken by the Committee need not treat all participants equally. 
 (c) The existence of
the Plan and the Option granted pursuant to this Award shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any
merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of
its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section may provide, in the Committee’s discretion, for the elimination without payment therefor of any fractional shares that might
otherwise become subject to any Option. 
 8. Special Limitation on Exercise. No purported exercise of the Option shall be effective
without the approval of the Committee, which may be withheld to the extent that the exercise, either individually or in the aggregate together with the exercise of other previously exercised stock options and/or offers and sales pursuant to any
prior or contemplated offering of securities, would, in the sole and absolute judgment of the Committee, require the filing of a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or with the securities commission of
any state. If a registration statement is not in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities law with respect to shares of Common Stock purchasable or otherwise deliverable under the Option, the Participant
(a) shall deliver to the Company, prior to the exercise of the Option or as a condition to the delivery of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option, such information, representations and warranties as the Company may reasonably
request in order for the Company to be able to satisfy itself that the Option Shares are being acquired in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the securities registration requirements of applicable federal and state securities
laws and (b) shall agree that the shares of Common Stock so acquired will not be disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement, unless the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel that such disposition is exempt
from such requirement under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities law.

 9. Legend on Stock Certificates. Certificates evidencing the Option Shares, to the extent
appropriate at the time, shall have noted conspicuously on the certificates a legend intended to give all persons full notice of the existence of the conditions, restrictions, rights and obligations set forth herein and in the Plan. 
 10. Governing Laws. This Award and the Terms and Conditions shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of
Georgia; provided, however, the Option may not be exercised except in compliance with exemptions available under applicable state securities laws of the state in which the Participant resides and/or any other applicable securities laws. 

11. Successors. This Award and the Terms and Conditions shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives,
successors and permitted assigns of the Participant and the Company. 
 12. Notice. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices
and other communications under this Award shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally delivered or if sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the
proposed recipient at the last known address of the recipient. Any party may designate any other address to which notices shall be sent by giving notice of the address to the other parties in the same manner as provided herein. 
 13. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in the Award and these Terms and Conditions
shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of the Award and these Terms and Conditions, and the Award and these Terms and Conditions
shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein. 
 14. Entire
Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Award and the Terms and Conditions express the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the Option. 
 15. Violation. Except as provided in Section 6, any transfer, pledge, sale, assignment, or hypothecation of the Option or any portion thereof

Capitalized Terms. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing the Award or these Terms and Conditions. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in either the Award or the Terms
and Conditions shall be given the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Award and these Terms and Conditions, the party or parties who are thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunction in addition to
any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

 18. No Right to Continued Retention. Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the award of Option
Shares hereunder shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued employment with the Company or any Affiliate. 
 19.
Qualified Status of Option. 
 (a) In accordance with Section 2.4 of the Plan, the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined as of the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Option Shares which become exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. If the foregoing limitation is exceeded with
respect to any portion of the Option Shares, that portion of the Option Shares which cause the limitation to be exceeded shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. 
 (b) In the event the Participant’s employment is transferred to an Affiliate that is not a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the
Option shall become a Nonqualified Stock Option no later than three (3) months following such transfer and shall remain a Nonqualified Stock Option for the remainder of the Option Period. 
 20. Definitions. As used in this Award, 
 (a) “Change in Control” means any one of the following events which may occur after the date the Option is granted: 
 (1) the acquisition by any person or persons acting as a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (other than the Company or any equity holder of the Company as of the date of this Award) (a “Person”) of the then outstanding voting ownership interests of the Company if, after the transaction, the acquiring person (or persons)
owns, controls or holds with power to vote more than twenty-five percent (25%) of any class of voting securities of the Company; 
 (2) the acquisition by a Person of the control of the election of a majority of the Company’s directors; or 
 (3) the acquisition of the exercise of a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Company by a Person. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to Options granted to a Participant by reason of any actions or events in which the Participant participates in a
capacity other than in the Participant’s capacity as an employee or director of the Company. 
 (b) Other capitalized
terms that are not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Plan or the Award, except where the context does not reasonably permit.

 CCF Holding Company 
 Attn:
                                        

  

	Re:	Exercise of Incentive Stock Option 

 Gentlemen: 
 Subject to acceptance hereof by CCF Holding Company (the “Company”) and pursuant to the provisions of the CCF Holding Company 2007 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), I hereby give notice of my election to exercise options granted to me to purchase
                                        
shares of Common Stock of the Company under the Incentive Stock Option Award (the “Award”) dated as of                     . The
purchase shall take place as of                     , 20     (the “Exercise Date”). 
 On or before the Exercise Date, I will pay the applicable purchase price as follows: 
  

	 	[    ]	by delivery of cash or a certified check for $                     for the
full purchase price payable to the order of CCF Holding Company. 

  

	 	[    ]	by delivery of a stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock that I have owned for at least six months which I will surrender to the Company with my endorsement as payment
of the purchase price. If the number of shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate exceed the number to be applied against the purchase price, I understand that a new certificate will be issued to me reflecting the excess number of
shares. 

  

	 	[    ]	by delivery of the purchase price by
                                        ,
a broker, dealer or other “creditor” as defined by Regulation T issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. I hereby authorize the Company to issue a stock certificate for the number of shares indicated above in
the name of said broker, dealer or other creditor or its nominee pursuant to instructions received by the Company and to deliver said stock certificate directly to that broker, dealer or other creditor (or to such other party specified in the
instructions received by the Company from the broker, dealer or other creditor) upon receipt of the purchase price. 

 The
required federal, state, and local income tax withholding obligations, if any, on the exercise of the Award shall be paid on or before the Exercise Date in cash or cash equivalents or, alternatively, in the manner provided in the withholding
Election previously tendered or to be tendered to the Company no later than the Tax Date. 

 As soon as the stock certificate is registered in my name, please deliver it to me at the above address.

 If the Common Stock being acquired is not registered for issuance to and resale by the Participant pursuant to an effective registration
statement on Form S-8 (or successor form) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), I hereby represent, warrant, covenant, and agree with the Company as follows: 
 The shares of the Common Stock being acquired by me will be acquired for my own account without the participation of any other person, with the intent of
holding the Common Stock for investment and without the intent of participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Common Stock and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Common Stock, nor am I
aware of the existence of any distribution of the Common Stock; 
 I am not acquiring the Common Stock based upon any representation, oral or
written, by any person with respect to the future value of, or income from, the Common Stock but rather upon an independent examination and judgment as to the prospects of the Company; 
 The Common Stock was not offered to me by means of publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, nor am I aware of any offers made to other
persons by such means; 
 I am able to bear the economic risks of the investment in the Common Stock, including the risk of a complete loss of
my investment therein; 
 I understand and agree that the Common Stock will be issued and sold to me without registration under any state law
relating to the registration of securities for sale, and will be issued and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration under the 1933 Act, provided by Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) thereof and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

 The Common Stock cannot be offered for sale, sold or transferred by me other than pursuant to: (A) an effective registration under the
1933 Act or in a transaction otherwise in compliance with the 1933 Act; and (B) evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with the applicable securities laws of other jurisdictions. The Company shall be entitled to rely upon an opinion
of counsel satisfactory to it with respect to compliance with the above laws; 
 The Company will be under no obligation to register the
Common Stock or to comply with any exemption available for sale of the Common Stock without registration or filing, and the information or conditions necessary to permit routine sales of securities of the Company under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act
are not now available and no assurance has been given that it or they will become available. The Company is under no obligation to act in any manner so as to make Rule 144 available with respect to the Common Stock; 
 I have and have had complete access to and the opportunity to review and make copies of all material documents related to the business of the Company,
including, but not limited to, contracts, financial statements, tax returns, leases, deeds and other books and records. I have examined such of these documents as I wished and am familiar with the business and affairs of the Company. I realize that
the purchase of the Common Stock is a speculative investment and that any possible profit therefrom is uncertain; 
 I have had the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and any person acting on its behalf and to obtain all material information reasonably available with respect to the Company and its affairs. I have received all information and
data with respect to the Company which I have requested and which I have deemed relevant in connection with the evaluation of the merits and risks of my investment in the Company; 
  

 2 

 I have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that I am capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the purchase of the Common Stock hereunder and I am able to bear the economic risk of such purchase; and 
 The
agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by me herein extend to and apply to all of the Common Stock of the Company issued to me pursuant to this Award. Acceptance by me of the certificate representing such Common Stock shall
constitute a confirmation by me that all such agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made herein shall be true and correct at that time. 
 I understand that the certificates representing the shares being purchased by me in accordance with this notice shall bear a legend referring to the foregoing covenants, representations and warranties and restrictions
on transfer, and I agree that a legend to that effect may be placed on any certificate which may be issued to me as a substitute for the certificates being acquired by me in accordance with this notice. I further understand that capitalized terms
used in this Notice of Exercise without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Award or in the Plan, as applicable. 
 Very
truly yours,

 (b) For purposes of the Vesting Schedule, the Participant shall be granted a month of service for each full calendar month following the
Grant Date during which the service relationship between the Participant and the Company and its Affiliates continues. No period of time following the termination of the Participant’s service relationship with the Company (including all
Affiliates) shall count towards the vesting of Option Shares. 
 (c) Notwithstanding subsection (a), the Option will be fully
vested as of a date determined by the Committee which is no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of a Change in Control. 
 4. Rights as Shareholder. Until the stock certificates reflecting the Option Shares accruing to the Participant upon exercise of the Option are issued to the Participant, the Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with
respect to such Option Shares. The Company shall make no adjustment for any dividends or distributions or other rights on or with respect to Option Shares for which the record date is prior to the issuance of that stock certificate, except as the
Plan or the attached Award otherwise provides. 
 5. Restriction on Transfer of Option and of Option Shares. The Option evidenced
hereby is nontransferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant (or in the event of his Disability, by his personal representative) and
after his death, only by his legatee or the executor of his estate. 
 6. Changes in Capitalization. 
 (a) The number of Option Shares and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted for any nonreciprocal transaction between the
Company and the holders of capital stock of the Company that causes the per share value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a
large, nonrecurring cash dividend. 
 (b) In the event of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend, sale of
substantially all of the Company’s assets or other material change in the capital structure of the Company, or a tender offer for shares of Common Stock, or a Change in Control, the Committee shall take such action to make such adjustments in
the Option or the terms of this Award as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith is necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, adjusting the number and class of securities subject to the Option, with a
corresponding adjustment in the Exercise Price, substituting a new option to replace the Option, accelerating the termination of the Option Period, removing any restrictions, or terminating the Option in consideration of a cash payment to the
Participant in an amount equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price of the Option Shares. Any determination made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 6(b) will be final and
binding on the Participant. Any action taken by the Committee need not treat all participants equally. 
 (c) The existence of
the Plan and the Option granted pursuant to this Award shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business 

  

 2 

 
structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the
rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section may provide, in the
Committee’s discretion, for the elimination without payment therefor of any fractional shares that might otherwise become subject to any Option. 
 7. Special Limitation on Exercise. No purported exercise of the Option shall be effective without the approval of the Committee, which may be withheld to the extent that the exercise, either individually or in
the aggregate together with the exercise of other previously exercised stock options and/or offers and sales pursuant to any prior or contemplated offering of securities, would, in the sole and absolute judgment of the Committee, require the filing
of a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or with the securities commission of any state. If a registration statement is not in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities
law with respect to shares of Common Stock purchasable or otherwise deliverable under the Option, the Participant (a) shall deliver to the Company, prior to the exercise of the Option or as a condition to the delivery of Common Stock pursuant
to the exercise of an Option, such information, representations and warranties as the Company may reasonably request in order for the Company to be able to satisfy itself that the Option Shares are being acquired in accordance with the terms of an
applicable exemption from the securities registration requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws and (b) shall agree that the shares of Common Stock so acquired will not be disposed of except pursuant to an effective
registration statement, unless the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel that such disposition is exempt from such requirement under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities law. 
 8. Legend on Stock Certificates. Certificates evidencing the Option Shares, to the extent appropriate at the time, shall have noted
conspicuously on the certificates a legend intended to give all persons full notice of the existence of the conditions, restrictions, rights and obligations set forth herein and in the Plan. 
 9. Governing Laws. This Award and the Terms and Conditions shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of
Georgia; provided, however, the Option may not be exercised except in compliance with exemptions available under applicable state securities laws of the state in which the Participant resides and/or any other applicable securities laws. 

10. Successors. This Award and the Terms and Conditions shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives,
successors and permitted assigns of the Participant and the Company. 
 11. Notice. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices
and other communications under this Award shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally delivered or if sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the
proposed recipient at the last known address of the recipient. Any party may designate any other address to which notices shall be sent by giving notice of the address to the other parties in the same manner as provided herein. 
 12. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in the Award and these Terms and Conditions
shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of the Award and these Terms and Conditions, and the Award and these Terms and Conditions
shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein.

 13. Entire Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Award and the Terms and
Conditions express the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the Option. 
 14. Violation. Except as provided in
Section 5, any transfer, pledge, sale, assignment, or hypothecation of the Option or any portion thereof shall be a violation of the terms of the Award or these Terms and Conditions and shall be void and without effect. 
 15. Headings and Capitalized Terms. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing
the Award or these Terms and Conditions. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in either the Award or the Terms and Conditions shall be given the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. 
 16. Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Award and these Terms and Conditions, the party or parties who are thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunction in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and
remedies shall be cumulative. 
 17. No Right to Continued Retention. Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the award of Option
Shares hereunder shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued service as a director with the Company or any Affiliate or in any other capacity. 
 18. Definitions. As used in this Award, 
 (a) “Change in Control”
means any one of the following events which may occur after the date the Option is granted: 
 (1) the acquisition by any
person or persons acting as a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (other than the Company or any equity holder of the Company as of the date of this Award) (a “Person”) of the then
outstanding voting ownership interests of the Company if, after the transaction, the acquiring person (or persons) owns, controls or holds with power to vote more than twenty-five percent (25%) of any class of voting securities of the Company;

 (2) the acquisition by a Person of the control of the election of a majority of the Company’s directors; or

 (3) the acquisition of the exercise of a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Company by a Person.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to Options granted to a
Participant by reason of any actions or events in which the Participant participates in a capacity other than in the Participant’s capacity as an employee or a director of the Company. 
 (b) Other capitalized terms that are not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Plan or the Award, except where the context does
not reasonably permit.

 CCF Holding Company 
 Attn:
                                        

  

	Re:	Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option 

 Gentlemen: 
 Subject to acceptance hereof by CCF Holding Company (the “Company”) and pursuant to the provisions of the CCF Holding Company 2007 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), I hereby give notice of my election to exercise options granted to me to purchase
                                        
shares of Common Stock of the Company under the Nonqualified Stock Option Award (the “Award”) dated as of                     . The
purchase shall take place as of                     , 20     (the “Exercise Date”). 
 On or before the Exercise Date, I will pay the applicable purchase price as follows: 
  

	 	[    ]	by delivery of cash or a certified check for $                     for the
full purchase price payable to the order of CCF Holding Company. 

  

	 	[    ]	by delivery of a stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock that I have owned for at least six months which I will surrender to the Company with my endorsement as payment
of the purchase price. If the number of shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate exceed the number to be applied against the purchase price, I understand that a new certificate will be issued to me reflecting the excess number of
shares. 

  

	 	[    ]	by delivery of the purchase price by
                                        ,
a broker, dealer or other “creditor” as defined by Regulation T issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. I hereby authorize the Company to issue a stock certificate for the number of shares indicated above in
the name of said broker, dealer or other creditor or its nominee pursuant to instructions received by the Company and to deliver said stock certificate directly to that broker, dealer or other creditor (or to such other party specified in the
instructions received by the Company from the broker, dealer or other creditor) upon receipt of the purchase price. 

 As soon
as the stock certificate is registered in my name, please deliver it to me at the above address. 
 If the Common Stock being acquired is not
registered for issuance to and resale by the Participant pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or successor form) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), I hereby represent, warrant,
covenant, and agree with the Company as follows: 
 The shares of the Common Stock being acquired by me will be acquired for my own account
without the participation of any other person, with the intent of holding the Common Stock for investment and without the intent of participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the Common Stock and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution of the Common Stock, nor am I aware of the existence of any distribution of the Common Stock; 
  

 1 

 I am not acquiring the Common Stock based upon any representation, oral or written, by any person with
respect to the future value of, or income from, the Common Stock but rather upon an independent examination and judgment as to the prospects of the Company; 
 The Common Stock was not offered to me by means of publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, nor am I aware of any offers made to other persons by such means; 
 I am able to bear the economic risks of the investment in the Common Stock, including the risk of a complete loss of my investment therein; 
 I understand and agree that the Common Stock will be issued and sold to me without registration under any state law relating to the registration of
securities for sale, and will be issued and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration under the 1933 Act, provided by Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) thereof and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; 
 The Common Stock cannot be offered for sale, sold or transferred by me other than pursuant to: (A) an effective registration under the 1933 Act or in
a transaction otherwise in compliance with the 1933 Act; and (B) evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with the applicable securities laws of other jurisdictions. The Company shall be entitled to rely upon an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to it with respect to compliance with the above laws; 
 The Company will be under no obligation to register the Common Stock or
to comply with any exemption available for sale of the Common Stock without registration or filing, and the information or conditions necessary to permit routine sales of securities of the Company under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act are not now
available and no assurance has been given that it or they will become available. The Company is under no obligation to act in any manner so as to make Rule 144 available with respect to the Common Stock; 
 I have and have had complete access to and the opportunity to review and make copies of all material documents related to the business of the Company,
including, but not limited to, contracts, financial statements, tax returns, leases, deeds and other books and records. I have examined such of these documents as I wished and am familiar with the business and affairs of the Company. I realize that
the purchase of the Common Stock is a speculative investment and that any possible profit therefrom is uncertain; 
 I have had the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and any person acting on its behalf and to obtain all material information reasonably available with respect to the Company and its affairs. I have received all information and
data with respect to the Company which I have requested and which I have deemed relevant in connection with the evaluation of the merits and risks of my investment in the Company; 
 I have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Common
Stock hereunder and I am able to bear the economic risk of such purchase; and 

 2 

 The agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by me herein extend to and apply to all of
the Common Stock of the Company issued to me pursuant to this Award. Acceptance by me of the certificate representing such Common Stock shall constitute a confirmation by me that all such agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made
herein shall be true and correct at that time. 
 I understand that the certificates representing the shares being purchased by me in
accordance with this notice shall bear a legend referring to the foregoing covenants, representations and warranties and restrictions on transfer, and I agree that a legend to that effect may be placed on any certificate which may be issued to me as
a substitute for the certificates being acquired by me in accordance with this notice. I further understand that capitalized terms used in this Notice of Exercise without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Award or in the Plan,
as applicable. 
 Very truly yours,
