<PAGE>

Restricted Stock under this Section 2 for such fiscal year and for any or all
future fiscal years; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee shall
not make such changes as would cause the award hereunder to be in violation of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as Amended.

      Section 3. Distribution of Restricted Stock. Certificates representing the
shares of Restricted Stock that have vested under Section 2 will be distributed
to the Grantee as soon as practicable after each Vesting Date.

      Section 4. Voting Rights and Dividends. Prior to the distribution of the
Restricted Stock, certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock will be
held by the Company (the "Custodian") in the name of the Grantee. The Custodian
will take such action as is necessary and appropriate to enable the Grantee to
vote the Restricted Stock. All cash dividends received by the Custodian, if any,
with respect to the Restricted Stock will be remitted to the Grantee. Stock
dividends issued with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be treated as
additional shares of Restricted Stock that are subject to the same restrictions
and other terms and conditions that apply to the shares of Restricted Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no voting rights or dividend rights shall inure
to the Grantee following the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock pursuant to
Section 5.

Restricted Stock for which the forfeiture restrictions have not lapsed prior to
the date of termination shall be immediately forfeited and Grantee shall have no
further rights with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock. In the event
that the Grantee's employment terminates by reason of death or Disability all
Restricted Stock shall be deemed vested and the restrictions under the Plan and
this Agreement with respect to the Restricted Stock, including the restriction
on transfer set forth in Section 6 hereof, shall automatically expire and shall
be of no further force or effect.

      Section 6. No Transfer or Pledge of Restricted Stock. No shares of
Restricted Stock may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of prior to the date the forfeiture
restrictions with respect to such shares have lapsed, if at all, on any Vesting
Date.

      Section 7. Tax Election. The Grantee may, but is not required to, elect to
apply the tax rules of Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), to the issuance of the Restricted Stock. If the Grantee
makes an affirmative election under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Grantee shall
deliver a copy of such election to the Company in accordance with the
requirements of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

      Section 8. Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any distribution
of Restricted Stock an amount of Common Stock equal to such federal, state or
local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law
or regulation, unless the Company agrees to accept a payment of cash (or to
withhold from other wages payable to Grantee) in the amount of such withholding
taxes.

      Section 9. Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control
as defined in the Plan, all Restricted Stock shall be deemed vested and the
restrictions under the Plan and the Agreement with respect to the Restricted
Stock, including the restriction on transfer set forth in Section 6 hereof,
shall automatically expire and shall be of no further force or effect.

      Section 10. Stock Subject to Award. In the event that the shares of Common
Stock of the Company should, as a result of a stock split or stock dividend or
combination of shares or any other change, redesignation, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization or otherwise, be increased or decreased or changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities
of the Company or of another corporation, the number of shares of Restricted
Stock that have been awarded to Grantee shall be appropriately adjusted to
reflect such action. If any such adjustment shall result in a fractional share,
such fraction shall be disregarded.

                        PINNACLE FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC.
                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into effective as of this _____ day of ______, 2004 (the "Grant Date"),
by and between Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
(together with its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, the "Company"), and
__________________ (the "Optionee"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Pinnacle Financial
Partners, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

      WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, which permits the issuance of
stock options for the purchase of shares of the common stock, par value $1.00
per share, of the Company (the "Shares"); and

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to afford the Optionee an opportunity to
purchase Shares as hereinafter provided in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound hereby, agree as follows:

                                GRANT OF OPTION.

The Company grants as of the date of this Agreement the right and option (the
"Option") to purchase __________ Shares, in whole or in part (the "Option
Stock"), at an exercise price of $_________ per Share, on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and subject to all provisions of the
Plan. The Optionee, holder or beneficiary of the Option shall not have any of
the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Option Stock until such person
has become a holder of such Shares by the due exercise of the Option and payment
of the Option Payment (as defined in Section 3 below) in accordance with this
Agreement.

The Option shall be an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and this
Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. In order to
provide the Company with the opportunity to claim the benefit of any income tax
deduction which may be available to it upon the exercise of the Option and in
order to comply with all applicable federal or state tax laws or regulations,
the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to insure that, if
necessary, all applicable federal, state or other taxes are withheld or
collected from the Optionee.

Exercise of Option. Optionee may exercise the Option with respect to the
percentage and number of shares set forth below from and after the dates
specified below:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
    CUMULATIVE                                            CUMULATIVE
PERCENTAGE VESTED         DATE OF VESTING            OPTIONS EXERCISABLE
-----------------         ---------------            -------------------
<S>                   <C>                            <C>

    ________%         _______________, _______            __________
</TABLE>

Notwithstanding the above, each outstanding Option shall vest and become
exercisable upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, but only if and to the
extent so determined by the Committee, and shall be governed by the provisions
of Section 12 of the Plan.

Manner of Exercise. The Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time
within the period permitted hereunder for the exercise of the Option, with
respect to whole Shares only, by serving written notice of intent to exercise
the Option substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto which shall be
delivered to the Company at its principal office no earlier than thirty (30)
days and no later than ten (10) days prior to

                                       1
<PAGE>

the date upon which the Optionee desires to exercise all or any portion of the
Option, stating the number of Shares to be purchased, the person or persons in
whose name the Shares are to be registered and each such person's address and
social security number. Such notice shall not be effective unless accompanied by
payment in full of the Option Price for the number of Shares with respect to
which the Option is then being exercised (the "Option Payment") and cash equal
to the required withholding taxes as set forth by Internal Revenue Service and
applicable State tax guidelines for the employer's minimum statutory
withholding. The Option Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents or in
whole Shares that have been held by the Optionee for at least six months prior
to the date of exercise valued at the Shares' Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise (or next succeeding trading date if the date of exercise is not a
trading date) or the actual sales price of such Shares, together with any
applicable withholding taxes, or by a combination of such cash (or cash
equivalents) and Shares. The Optionee shall not be entitled to tender Shares
pursuant to successive, substantially simultaneous exercises of the Option or
any other stock option of the Company. Subject to applicable securities laws,
the Optionee may also exercise the Option by delivering a notice of exercise of
the Option and by simultaneously selling the Shares of Option Stock thereby
acquired pursuant to a brokerage or similar agreement approved in advance by
proper officers of the Company, using the proceeds of such sale as payment of
the Option Payment, together with any applicable withholding taxes. The Optionee
shall notify the Company of any disposition of shares acquired under this
Agreement if such disposition occurs within two years after the date of grant or
one year after the date of exercise of the Option. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Fair Market Value" means the closing sales price of the Shares on
the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market System or the actual sales price of
such Shares.

Termination of Option. The Option will expire ten years from the date of grant
of the Option (the "Term") with respect to any then unexercised portion thereof,
unless terminated earlier as set forth below:

      Termination by Death. If the Optionee's employment by the Company
      terminates by reason of death, or if the Optionee dies within three months
      after termination of such employment for any reason other than Cause, this
      Option may thereafter be exercised, to the extent the Option was
      exercisable at the time of such termination, by the legal representative
      of the estate or by the legatee of the Optionee under the will of the
      Optionee, for a period of one year from the date of death or until the
      expiration of the Term of the Option, whichever period is the shorter.

      Termination by Reason of Disability. If the Optionee's employment by the
      Company terminates by reason of Disability, this Option may thereafter be
      exercised, to the extent the Option was exercisable at the time of such
      termination, by the Optionee or personal representative or guardian of the
      Optionee, as applicable, for a period of one year from the date of such
      termination of employment or until the expiration of the Term of the
      Option, whichever period is the shorter.

      Termination by Normal Retirement or Early Retirement. If Optionee's
      employment by the Company terminates by reason of Retirement, this Option
      may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent the Option was
      exercisable at the time of such termination, for a period of one year from
      the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the
      Term of the Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however,
      that if the Option is exercised following the three month anniversary of
      the date of termination, the Option shall thereafter be treated as a
      Non-Qualified Stock Option.

      Termination for Cause or Voluntary Termination. If the Optionee's
      employment by the Company is voluntarily terminated or terminated for
      Cause, this Option shall terminate immediately and become void and of no
      effect.

      Other Termination. If the Optionee's employment by the Company is
      involuntarily terminated for any reason other than for Cause, death,
      Disability or Retirement, this Option may be exercised, to the extent the
      Option was exercisable at the time of such termination, by the Optionee
      for a period of three months from the date of such termination of
      employment or the expiration of the Term of the Option, whichever period
      is the shorter.

                                       2
<PAGE>

No Right to Continued Employment. The grant of the Option shall not be construed
as giving Optionee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company, and
the Company may at any time dismiss Optionee from employment, free from any
liability or any claim under the Plan.

Adjustment to Option Stock. The Committee may make adjustments in the terms and
conditions of, and the criteria included in, this Option in recognition of
unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events
described in Section 4.2 of the Plan) affecting the Company or the financial
statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or
accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments
are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.

Amendments to Option. Subject to the restrictions contained in Sections 6.2 and
13 of the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend
any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, the Option,
prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment,
alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would
adversely affect the rights of the Optionee or any holder or beneficiary of the
Option shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the
Optionee, holder or beneficiary affected.

Limited Transferability. During the Optionee's lifetime this Option can be
exercised only by the Optionee. This Option may not be assigned, alienated,
pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by Optionee other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to otherwise
transfer this Option shall be void. No transfer of this Option by the Optionee
by will or by laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the
Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof
and an authenticated copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the
Committee may deem necessary or appropriate to establish the validity of the
transfer.

Reservation of Shares. At all times during the term of this Option, the Company
shall use its best efforts to reserve and keep available such number of Shares
as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement.

Plan Governs. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and
agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The terms of this
Agreement are governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any
inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the
terms of the Plan shall govern.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, or becomes, or is deemed to
be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or
the Award, or would disqualify the Plan or Award under any laws deemed
applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended
to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed
amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the
intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction, Person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and Award shall
remain in full force and effect.

Notices. All notices required to be given under this Option shall be deemed to
be received if delivered or mailed as provided for herein to the parties at the
following addresses, or to such other address as either party may provide in
writing from time to time.

may be granted to Optionee, or in the event that this Option becomes first
exercisable in any calendar year to obtain Common Stock having a Fair Market
Value (determined at the time of grant) in excess of $100,000, this Option shall
