Account for the benefit of the Executive or for the benefit of his designated
beneficiary upon the death of the Executive, and shall credit the account with
contributions and earnings and debit the account for distributions, as described
in this Plan.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS. Stillwater National shall make contributions to the Plan
Account as follows:
(a) Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions. Stillwater National
shall credit the Plan Account with the amount equal to the
difference between the aggregate amount of contributions which
would have been allocated with respect to the Executive under
the Profit Sharing Plan based on the Executive's Compensation
without regard to the limitations imposed by the Code on the
Profit Sharing Plan, or otherwise contained in the Plan, and
the aggregate amount of contributions actually made with
respect to the Executive, without regard to forfeitures. For
purposes of determining the amount which would have been
allocated to the Profit Sharing Plan, such amount shall be
deemed to be proportionate to the ratio of the actual
contribution made to such plan over the compensation taken
into account under such plan. Such contributions shall be
credited to the Plan Account at substantially the same time as
contributions are made to the Profit Sharing Plan. Stillwater
National is not required to make any Supplemental Profit
Sharing Contribution for any period in which it does not make
a contribution to the Profit Sharing Plan. No Supplemental
Profit Sharing Contributions shall be made following a
termination of the Executive's employment for Cause or
voluntary termination without Good Reason. The Supplemental
Profit Sharing Contribution for the calendar year in which the
Executive's or his Beneficiary's rights under the Plan vest
shall be prorated based upon the number of days in the
calendar year prior to the vesting date over 365.
(b) Discretionary Contributions. Stillwater National may make, but
is not required by this Plan to make, additional,
discretionary contributions to the Plan Account at such times
and in such amounts as it may deem appropriate.
(c) Earnings Until the Plan Account is fully distributed to the
Executive or his Beneficiary, the Plan Account shall be
credited as of the last day of each calendar quarter with
earnings as though the balance of the Plan Account at the
beginning of such calendar quarter were invested in an
uninsured, nondeposit fund account having an annual return for
each calendar quarter equal to the annualized average interest
rate earned (non-taxable equivalent) by Stillwater National on
average interest-earning assets for such calendar quarter, and
except as provided in Section 6 hereof, as calculated in good
faith by Stillwater National. (For example, the earnings rate
for the first calendar quarter of 2002 would have been 6.65%,
if the Plan were then in effect.)
(d) Unfunded Arrangement. The parties intend that this Plan be
unfunded for purposes of ERISA and the Code. The Executive and
his Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of Stillwater
National for the payment of benefits under this Plan. The
benefits represent the mere promise by Stillwater National to
pay such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in
any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by
creditors of the Executive or his Beneficiary. Any
representation or assertion contrary to this section 3(d) is a
material breach of this Plan by the representing or asserting
party, which, if such party is the Executive or, following his
death, a Beneficiary, shall immediately result in the
cessation of any and all payments and the elimination of any
liability hereunder for any payment not made prior to such
assertion or representation, and, if such party is Stillwater
National or an Affiliate of Stillwater National, shall subject
Stillwater National to liability for actual damages for such
breach.

sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Executive or

loss of the Executive's property due to casualty, or other
similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising
as a result of events beyond the control of the Executive.

manner consistent with Sections 1.457-2(h)(4) and
1.457-2(h)(5) of the Treasury Regulations.

5. PLAN ADMINISTRATION.
(a) Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. In
the absence at any time of a duly appointed Committee, the
Plan shall be administered by the Board. Except as limited by
the express provisions of the Plan or by resolutions adopted
by the Board, the Committee shall have sole and complete
authority and to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan, and to make other
determinations necessary or advisable for the administration
of the Plan. The Committee shall have and may exercise such
other power and authority as may be delegated to it by the
Board from time to time.
(b) Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. In addition to
such other rights of indemnification as they may have, the
members of the Committee shall be indemnified by Stillwater
National in connection with any claim, action, suit or
proceeding relating to any action taken or failure to act
under or in connection with the Plan to the maximum extent
provided for under Stillwater National's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws with respect to the indemnification of
Directors. Stillwater National nor any of its officers,

the part of such person.

expenses of administration and the costs of employing
employment counsel and accountants with respect to the Plan or
its administration, including without limitation, the
administrative and other costs of the Trust. Stillwater
National shall furnish individual annual statements of accrued
benefits to the Executive or current Beneficiary, in such form
as determined by Stillwater National or as required by law.
(d) Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a
person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of
handling the disposition of his or her property, Stillwater
National may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal
representative, or person having the care or custody of such
minor, incompetent person, or incapable person. Stillwater
National may require proof of incompetency, minority, or
guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to the
distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall
completely discharge Stillwater National from all liability
with respect to such benefit.
6. TRUST. Prior to or simultaneously with any Transaction and within ten
calendar days of any other Change in Control, unless and to the extent the
Executive has previously provided a written release of any claims under this
Plan, Stillwater National shall establish a valid trust under the law of the
State of Oklahoma with an independent trustee that has or may be granted
corporate trust powers under Oklahoma law, deposit in such trust an amount equal
to 200% of the Plan Account balance immediately prior to the establishment of
the Trust, and provide the Trustee of the Trust with a written direction to
invest such amount in securities supported by the full faith and credit of the
United States except for amounts held in one or more deposit accounts as needed
on a short-term basis to pay amounts due to the Executive or his Beneficiary as
provided below, to hold said amount and any investment return thereon in a
segregated account, and to pay such amounts due to the Executive (or upon his
death, his Beneficiary) under this Plan. Upon the final payment of all amounts
due to the Executive or his Beneficiary under this Plan, the Trustee of the
Trust shall pay to Stillwater National the entire balance, if any, remaining in
the Trust. Payments from the Trust to the Executive shall be considered payments
made by Stillwater National for purposes of this Agreement. Payment of such
amounts to the Executive from the Trust, however, shall not relieve Stillwater
National from any obligation to pay amounts in excess of those paid from the
Trust, or from any obligation to take actions or refrain from taking actions
otherwise required by this Plan. In no event may the Trust invest in securities
or obligations issued by Stillwater National or any of its Affiliates or
successors. Stillwater National shall have no right or power to direct the
Trustee to return or divert any of the Trust assets before all payments of
benefits have been made. Stillwater National shall pay all fees and expenses of
the Trust, including, without limitation, Trustee fees, and all income taxes on
earnings of the Trust from its assets outside of the Trust. In the event that
Stillwater National shall not provide the earnings rate referred to under
Section 3(c) hereof, the Trustee shall calculate such rate based upon reports of
condition furnished by Stillwater National to its primary federal banking
regulator or upon other publicly available reports. The Executive's and his
Beneficiary's rights under this Plan shall be those of a general, unsecured
creditor, he shall have no claim against the assets of the Trust, and the assets
of the Trust shall be considered general assets of Stillwater National subject
to the claims of creditors of Stillwater National in the event of its bankruptcy
or insolvency.

under or the terms of the Profit Sharing Plan.

rights to any and all benefits under this Plan upon his
termination for Cause or his voluntary termination without
Good Reason.

except in the case of a termination of employment by
Stillwater National without Just Cause, a termination of

Financial Institution offers products or services competing
with those offered by the Bank from offices in any county in
the Primary Market Area, or shall interfere with the
relationship of Stillwater National and any of its employees,
agents, or representatives, then the Committee shall direct
that any unpaid balance of any payments to the Executive under
this Agreement be suspended, and shall thereupon notify the
Executive of such suspension, in writing. Thereupon, if the

and his Beneficiary under this Plan, including rights to any
and all further payments hereunder, shall thereupon terminate.

National is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of
FDIA), all obligations of Stillwater National under this
Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but
vested rights of the parties shall not be affected. If a

National's obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended
as of the date of such service, unless stayed by appropriate
proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed,
Stillwater National may, in its discretion, (i) pay the
Executive all or part of the contributions or payments
withheld while its contract obligations were suspended, and
(ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations
which were suspended.

the Plan Account as of the effective date of such termination. Upon termination
of the Plan, distribution of the Plan Account in accordance with Section amounts
credited to such account shall be made to the Executive or his or her
