The Company has advised the Grantee to seek the Grantee’s own tax and financial advice with regard to the federal and state tax considerations resulting from the Grantee’s receipt of the Grant Shares pursuant to the Award. The Grantee is making the Grantee’s own determination as to the advisability of making a Section 83(b) election with respect to the Target Grant Shares covered by the Award and this Agreement. The Grantee understands that the Company will report to appropriate taxing authorities the payment to the Grantee of compensation income either (i) upon the vesting of Shares or (ii) if the Grantee makes a timely Section 83(b) election, as of the Date of the Award. The Grantee understands that he or she is solely responsible for the payment of all federal and state taxes resulting from this Restricted Stock Grant.

2.3 Agreement to Enter into Lock-Up Agreement with an Underwriter. If the Grantee is then an executive officer of the Company, the Grantee, by accepting the Award represented by this Agreement, understands and agrees that whenever the Company undertakes a firmly underwritten public offering of its securities, the Grantee will, if requested to do so by the managing underwriter in such offering, enter into an agreement not to sell or dispose of any securities of the Company owned or controlled by the Grantee provided that such restriction will not extend beyond 12 months from the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such offering.
| 3. | GENERAL RESTRICTIONS OF TRANSFERS OF UNVESTED SHARES |
3.1 No Transfers of Unvested Shares. The Grantee agrees for himself or herself, his or her executors, administrators and other successors in interest that none of the Unvested Shares (as defined in Schedule A), nor any interest therein, may be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred, assigned, donated, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, gratuitously or for consideration prior to their vesting in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in Schedule A.
3.2 Stock Distributions. If the Company makes any distribution of stock with respect to the Grant Shares by way of a stock dividend or stock split, or pursuant to any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger or otherwise, and the Grantee receives any additional shares of stock in the Company (or other shares of stock in another corporation) as a result thereof, such additional (or other) shares shall be deemed Grant Shares hereunder and shall be subject to the same restrictions and obligations imposed by this Agreement.
3.3 Invalid Transfers. Any disposition of the Grant Shares other than in strict compliance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be void. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Grant Shares which have been sold or transferred in violation of the provisions of this Section 3 or (ii) to treat as the owner of the Grant Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, dividend or any other rights to, any person or entity to whom Grantee transferred or attempted to transfer the Grant Shares in contravention of this Agreement.

| 4. | REPURCHASE OF UNVESTED GRANT SHARES |
4.1 Repurchase Right. Unless the Company gives notice to the Grantee within a period of ninety days (90) after the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (each a “Repurchase Event”) of its intent to waive its repurchase right, the Company will repurchase the Grant Shares from the Grantee to the extent that they were Unvested on the date of the Repurchase Event:
(i) upon the death of the Grantee;
(ii) upon the Grantee becoming Disabled, as such term is defined in the Plan; and
(iii) upon the Grantee ceasing, for any reason, to be an Employee, as such term is defined in the Plan, except that a leave of absence in accordance with the Company’s sick leave, family leave or military leave policies or that is otherwise approved by the Committee that administers the Plan shall not constitute cessation of Employment provided unless the Grantee fails to return to employment with the Company at the end of such leave in accordance with such policies or approval, or upon Grantee’s ceasing their membership in the Company’s President’s Club.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company was not aware of the occurrence of the Repurchase Event, the ninety-day period shall not begin to run until such time as the Company actually becomes aware of such occurrence. If the Company gives notice of its election not to repurchase the Unvested Grant Shares, this shall not bar or waive the Company’s obligation or option to exercise its repurchase right in connection with any subsequent Repurchase Event.
4.2 Purchase Price and Payment. The Repurchase Price of the Grant Shares under this Section 4 is as specified on the first page of this Agreement and shall be paid by the Company at the closing by check.
4.3 Closing of the Repurchase. Any shares repurchased pursuant to this Section 4 shall be transferred at a closing to be held at the principal office of the Company no later than ten (10) days after the expiration of the ninety (90) day period specified in Section 4.1. Failure to timely remit the Repurchase Price to the Grantee shall not invalidate the Company’s repurchase obligation and right as set forth in Section 4.1.
4.4 Safekeeping of Stock Certificate Until the Expiration of the Repurchase Right. Until Grant Shares are vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Schedule A, the stock certificate representing the Grant Shares may be retained by the Company or its transfer agent. Upon the closing of any repurchase pursuant to this Section 4, Grantee does hereby authorize and does hereby irrevocably appoint the Secretary of the Company (with full power of substitution) as Grantee’s attorney-in-fact to transfer the Grant Shares on the books of the Company and to cancel or reissue a new certificate representing the Grant Shares in accordance with this Section 4. Upon the written request of the Grantee, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Grantee a stock certificate representing the Grant Shares that have vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Schedule A to the extent that stock certificates for such vested shares have not previously been delivered to the Grantee. The power of attorney contained in this Section 4.4 shall become null and void as to Grant Shares that have vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Schedule A.
4.5 Assignment of Rights by the Company. The Company may, in its sole discretion, assign its repurchase obligation with respect to any Unvested Grant Shares to any one or more persons without notice to, or the prior consent of, the Grantee.

| 5. | PROVISION FOR PAYMENT OF TAX WITHHOLDING AMOUNTS |
5.1 Payment of Tax Withholding Amounts. Upon the vesting of the Grant Shares or upon the Grantee making a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Grantee must pay to the Company or make adequate provision for the payment of all Tax Withholding as such term is defined in the Plan. By accepting the Award represented by this Agreement, the Grantee shall be deemed to have consented to the Company withholding the amount of any Tax Withholding from any amounts payable by the Company to the Grantee. No shares of Common Stock will be released from the restrictions on their transfer under Section 3 of this Agreement unless and until payment or adequate provision for payment of the Tax Withholding has been made. If the Company later determines that additional Tax Withholding was or has become required beyond any amount paid or provided for by the Grantee, the Grantee will pay such additional amount to the Company immediately upon demand by the Company. If the Grantee fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company may withhold that amount from other amounts payable by the Company to the Grantee, including salary or any bonus.
5.2 Alternative Provisions for the Payment of Tax Withholding Amounts. The Grantee may elect to pay all or any portion of the Tax Withholding (i) by surrender of shares of Common Stock (including vested Grant Shares) valued at their Fair Market Value as such term is defined in the Plan, (ii) by authorizing a duly registered and licensed broker-dealer to sell shares of Common Stock that are vested or vesting under this Agreement (or, at least a sufficient portion thereof) and instructing such broker-dealer to immediately remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the proceeds from such sale to pay the Tax Withholding (iii) by the surrender of other securities of the Company in the manner specified in Section 8.4 of the Plan, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.

Schedule A – Vesting Schedule
Grant Shares Awarded under the Restricted Stock Agreement to which this Schedule A is attached shall vest in accordance with the following conditions. Grant Shares that have not yet vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth herein, are referred to in the Restricted Stock Agreement as “Unvested Shares.”
Performance-Based and Accelerated Vesting. Under the Restricted Stock Agreement to which this Vesting Schedule is attached, Grant Shares shall vest only in accordance with the following provisions:
| A. | For the purposes of this Vesting Schedule, the terms below have the following meanings: |
“Final Closing Price” means in the case of the Company the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock, and in the case of the KRXTR the closing price of the KRXTR (symbol “KRXTR”).
“Initial Closing Price” means, in the case of the Company $12.28, and in the case of the KRXTR $52.55 (using the symbol “KRXTR”).
“KRXTR” means the KBW Regional Banking Total Return Index, or such other similar index as selected by the Committee should the KBW Regional Banking Total Return Index cease to be available.
“Retirement” means termination of employment after becoming eligible for retirement by reaching age 62 and having 5 years of continuous service.
“TSR” means the cumulative total shareholder return as measured by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the TSR Period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Initial Closing Price and the Final Closing Price, by the Initial Closing Price.
“TSR Performance” compares the Company’s TSR to the KRXTR TSR, each converted into a fixed investment, stated in dollars, assuming $100.00 was invested at the Initial Closing Price at the commencement of TSR Period.
TSR Performance, for the purposes of determining vesting, is the quotient resulting from dividing Company TSR Performance by KRXTR TSR Performance.
Company TSR Performance and KRXTR TSR Performance are calculated in the same manner as the performance of the Company’s common stock in the Stock Performance Graph presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as required by Item 201(e) of SEC Regulation S-K except that the measurement period is three years for the purposes of this Agreement and five years for the Stock Performance Graph.
“TSR Period” means the three-year period ending on January 27, 2015.
| Restricted Stock Agreement – PSA Vesting - Jan 2012 | 7 |
| B. | The vesting of Grant Shares shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of a performance vesting requirement based on TSR Performance. Unless earlier vested in accordance with Sections C or D of this Vesting Schedule, Target Grant Shares shall become vested, provided Grantee is employed by the Company at the end of the TSR Period and upon the written certification by the Committee, or its delegate, of the achievement of the performance goal of TSR Performance, in accordance with the applicable Vesting Percentage specified for TSR Performance in the following schedule: |
| TSR Performance |
Vesting Percentage of Target Grant Shares | |
| Lower than 60% | 0% | |
| 60% | 25% | |
| between 60% and 100% | ** | |
| 100% (the Company TSR Performance equals or exceeds the KRX TSR Performance) |
100% | |
| Above 100% | *** | |
| ** | When TSR Performance is between 60% and 100%, such results will be interpolated on a straight-line basis to determine the applicable Vesting Percentage. For example, 80% TSR Performance represents the midpoint of TSR Performance and would result in the midpoint of the Vesting Percentage, or 62.5%. |
| *** | When TSR Performance is between 100% and 125%, the applicable Vesting Percentage shall be equal to the TSR Performance. If TSR Performance exceeds 125%, the Vesting Percentage shall be 125%. In no event shall the total vested shares exceed the Maximum Grant Shares. |
| C. | Notwithstanding Section B of this Vesting Schedule, upon the consummation of a Change of Control Transaction, as such term is defined in the Plan, all of the Target Grant Shares that remain unvested shall become vested. |
| D. | Notwithstanding Section B of this Vesting Schedule, upon Retirement by the Grantee, death or Disability of the Grantee, or a termination of employment by the Grantee for “good reason” (as defined in the Grantee’s Employment Agreement with the Company) prior to the end of the TSR Period, a percentage of the unvested Target Grant Shares, rounded to the nearest whole share, shall vest as of the date of such termination and become exercisable, with such percentage equal to the number of months of service by the Grantee during the TSR Period divided by 36. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) no additional Grant Shares will vest after the occurrence of any Repurchase Event; and (ii) the number of Grant Shares vesting above shall automatically be adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock dividend, stock-split, combination of shares or other similar event as referred to in Section 10.1 of the Plan.
