This Incentive Stock Option Agreement (“Option Agreement”), is dated as of                  , 201    (the “Grant Date”), between Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and any Subsidiary (the “Company”), and                 (the “Participant”). This Option Agreement is pursuant to the terms of the Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), a copy of which has been furnished to the Participant and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise indicated, whenever capitalized terms are used in this Option Agreement, they shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

 

Section 1.  Grant of Options.  The Participant is hereby granted an option representing                shares (“Shares”) of Company common stock (“Common Stock”) under the terms and conditions specified herein (the “Option”). Such Option is intended to constitute an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  If the Option granted hereunder fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option for any reason, then the Option, or portion thereof that does not so qualify, shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

Section 2.  Option Price.  The exercise price of the Option shall be $     per share (the “Option Price”).

 

Section 3.  Vesting of Option.

 

3.1                               Vesting Schedule.  The Option shall vest and become exercisable based on the passage of time according to the following vesting schedule:

 

	
Number of Shares
    	
 
    	
Vesting Date(1)
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    

 

No vesting shall occur on or after the date that a Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than as described herein.

 

3.2                               Accelerated Vesting.  Notwithstanding Section 3.1 hereof, the Option shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable upon: (i) the Participant’s termination without Cause or the Participant’s resignation with Good Reason, which, in either case, occurs within two years following a Change in Control, (ii) the death of the Participant, which occurs at 

 

(1)  The Plan provides for a 3-year cliff vesting schedule unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

any time while the Participant is in continuous service, as set forth in Section 8.01(b) of the Plan or (iii) the Participant’s termination due to the Disability of the Participant, as set forth in Section 8.01(b) of the Plan.  If your employment is terminated for any other reason, then the unvested portion of the Participant’s Option will be forfeited at the close of business on the Participant’s termination/resignation date.

 

Section 4.  Option Term. The Option may be exercised, to the extent that it is vested pursuant to Section 3, during the Option Term, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  For purposes hereof, the “Option Term” shall commence on the Grant Date and shall expire on the tenth anniversary thereof (the fifth anniversary thereof in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who owns, directly or indirectly, more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock issued to stockholders of the Company).  Upon the expiration of the Option Term, to the extent unexercised, the Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

 

Section 5.  Exercise of Option. An Option may be exercised by the Participant (or such other person as may be specified in the Plan) to the extent vested, with respect to whole shares only, by giving written notice to the Company of exercise along with payment of the aggregate exercise price.

 

The Option Price for the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option shall be paid: (i) in cash or by check; (ii) in whole shares of Common Stock; or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) above.  The value of any share of Common Stock delivered in payment of the Option Price shall be its Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is exercised.  The Participant may elect to exercise vested Options by surrendering an amount of Common Stock already owned by the Participant equal to the aggregate Option Price.  To the extent that the Common Stock is publicly traded, the Participant also may elect to make payment of the Option Price by arranging with a third party broker to sell a number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant and attributable to the exercise of the Option in order to pay the aggregate exercise price of the Option and any applicable withholding and employment taxes due.

 

Section 6.  Withholding of Taxes.  The Company shall withhold from any amounts due and payable by the Company to the Participant (or secure payment from the Participant in lieu of withholding) the amount of any federal or state withholding or other taxes, if any, due from the Company with respect to the exercise of the Option, and the Company may defer such issuance until such withholding or payment is made unless otherwise indemnified to its satisfaction with respect thereto. The Company shall have the right to: (i) make deductions from any settlement of this Option, including the delivery of Shares, or require Shares or cash, or both, be withheld from any settlement of this Option, in each case in an amount sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation; or (ii) take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to satisfy the withholding obligation.

 

Section 7.  Adjustments.  If at any time while the Option is outstanding, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed by reason of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split or any other event described in Article V of the Plan, the number and/or kind of Shares subject to the Option and/or the Option Price of such Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

 

2

 

Section 8.  Option Not Transferable. This Option may not be transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant, except by will or laws of descent and distribution, and during the Participant’s life, may only be exercised by the Participant.  Any attempt to effect a transfer of this Option that is not otherwise permitted by the Board of Directors, the Plan, or this Option Agreement shall be null and void.

 

Section 9.  No Rights as a Shareholder or to Continued Employment.

 

9.1                               No Rights as a Shareholder. The Participant shall not have any privileges of a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares subject to (but not acquired upon valid exercise of) the Option, nor shall the Company have any obligation to pay any dividends or otherwise afford any rights to which Shares are entitled with respect to such Shares, until the date of the issuance to the Participant of a stock certificate evidencing such Shares.

 

9.2                               No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon a Participant who is an employee of the Company any right to continue in the employ of the Company or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time.

 

Section 10.  Incentive Stock Option Limitation. Pursuant to section 422(d) of the Code, to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year under all plans of the Company exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options and (the Company shall designate which Options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options).

 

Section 11.  Disqualifying Disposition. If Shares acquired by exercise of the Option are disposed of within two years following the Grant Date or one year following the transfer of such Shares to the Participant upon exercise, the Participant shall, promptly following such disposition, notify the Company in writing of the date and terms of such disposition and provide such other information regarding the disposition as the Compensation Committee may reasonably require.

 

Section 12.  Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

12.1                        Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand or three days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid or, in the case of facsimile notice, when received, addressed as follows or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.
