FPB BANCORP, INC.

2010 Warrant Plan

ARTICLE I

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

The Board of Directors of FPB Bancorp, Inc. (“FPB”) has determined that it is in the best interests of FPB to issue Warrants to purchase FPB Common Stock in connection with FPB’s 2010 public offering of Units comprised of Common Stock and Warrants. FPB proposes to issue up to                  shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase                  shares of Common Stock in Units. Each Unit will contain four shares of Common Stock and one Warrant which will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of additional Common Stock. Therefore, the Board of Directors, in order to provide for the above, has adopted this Warrant Plan (“Plan”) on the date set forth herein.

ARTICLE II

SCOPE OF THE PLAN

Section 1.    Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

 

  a. “Board” means the Board of Directors of FPB.

 

  b. “Common Stock” means the $0.01 par value common stock of FPB.

 

  c. “Expiration Date” shall be 5:00 p.m. on ___________, 2015.

 

  d. “Plan” means this Warrant Plan as adopted by the Board, as set forth herein, and as amended from time to time.

 

  e. “Units” means units comprised of four shares of Common Stock and one Warrant sold in FPB’s 2010 public offering.

 

  e. “Warrant” means the right to purchase additional shares of Common Stock.

 

  f. “Warrant Certificate” means the evidence of ownership of Warrants, as executed and issued by FPB.

Section 2.    Warrants. There are hereby authorized                  Warrants, each of which shall be redeemable for one share of Common Stock of FPB. Warrants shall be included only in Units offered by FPB in its 2010 stock offering. Any Warrants authorized by this Plan that are not issued in connection with the 2010 stock offering shall automatically expire.

Section 3.    Form of Warrants. The certificates evidencing the Warrants (the “Warrant Certificates”) shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as FPB may


deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, or as may be required to comply with any law, or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto, or to conform to usage.

Section 4.    Issuance of Warrants. The Warrant Certificates when issued shall be dated and signed on behalf of FPB, manually or by facsimile signature, by any two of its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, or Secretary under its corporate seal, if any. The seal of FPB, if any, may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrants.

Section 5.    Registration of Warrant Certificates; Registered Owners. FPB shall maintain or cause to be maintained books for registration of ownership and transfer of ownership of the Warrant Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Warrant Certificates and the number of Warrants evidenced by each such Warrant Certificate. FPB may deem and treat the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof and of the Warrants evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise of such Warrants and for all other purposes, and FPB shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 6.    Registration of Transfers and Exchanges; Transfer Restriction. FPB, through its “Warrant Agent,” Registrar and Transfer Company, shall transfer from time to time, any outstanding Warrants upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants, with the Form of Assignment duly filled in and executed, to the Warrant Agent, at its office in Cranford, New Jersey at any time prior to the Expiration Date. Upon receipt of a Warrant Certificate, with the Form of Assignment duly completed and executed, the Warrant Agent shall promptly deliver a Warrant Certificate or Certificates representing an equal aggregate full number of Warrants to the transferee; provided, however, in case the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate shall elect to transfer fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent in addition shall promptly deliver to such registered holder a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates for the full number of Warrants not so transferred. The Warrant Agent shall serve, and be replaced, pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Agreement by and between FPB and the Warrant Agent.

Subject to Section 8 hereof, any Warrant Certificate or Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the holder thereof for Warrant Certificates of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants, upon surrender of such Warrant Certificate or Certificates, with the Form of Assignment duly completed and executed, on or prior to the Expiration Date.

Section 7.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and receipt by the Warrant Agent of an Indemnity Bond reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, and reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor representing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants.


Section 8.    Payment of Taxes. FPB shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant or any certificates for shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant or Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and FPB shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant or certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to FPB the amount of such tax if any, or shall have established to the satisfaction of FPB that such tax if required, has been paid.

Section 9.    Exercise, Purchase Price and Duration of Warrants. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the holder of a Warrant shall have the right to purchase from FPB (and FPB shall issue and sell to that holder), one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock for each Warrant at the initial exercise price of $        per share (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 hereof), upon the surrender of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant on any business day prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date, with the Form of Election to Exercise on the reverse thereof duly completed and executed, and payment of the Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States of America in cash or by cashiers’ or certified check payable to FPB. The exercise price and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the manner specified in Section 11 and, as initially established or as so adjusted, are referred to herein as the “Exercise Price” and the “Shares,” respectively. The Warrants shall be so exercisable either as an entirety or from time to time in part at the election of the registered holder thereof. In the event that fewer than all Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate are exercised at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Expiration Date a new Warrant Certificate will be issued for the Warrants not so exercised.

No payments or adjustments shall be made for any cash dividends, whether paid or declared, on Shares issuable on the exercise of a Warrant.

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of a Warrant, but, in lieu thereof, there shall be paid to the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant or other person designated on the Form of Election to Exercise as soon as practicable after date of surrender, an amount in cash equal to the fraction of the current market value of a share of Common Stock equal to the fraction of a share to which such Warrant related. For such purpose, the current market value of a share of Common Stock shall be the book value of the Common Stock as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the date of the Election to Exercise.

Subject to Section 8 hereof, upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate, with the Form of Election to Exercise duly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price, FPB shall issue and deliver the full number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants tendered for exercise. Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and any person so designated by the registered holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of a Share, as of the date of the surrender of the Warrant Certificate to which the Share relates and payment of the appropriate Exercise Price; provided, however, if the date of surrender of a Warrant Certificate shall occur within any period during which the transfer books for FPB’s Common Stock are closed for any purpose, such person shall not be deemed to have become a holder of record of a Share until the opening of business on the day of reopening said transfer books, and certificates representing such Shares shall not be issuable until such day.


If we do not maintain a current and effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 covering the warrants and the underlying shares of common stock, the warrants may expire unexercised on their expiration date. Under no circumstances shall a warrant holder be entitled to (a) net-cash settlement of a warrant or the underling shares of common stock, regardless of whether any or all of the securities have been registered by us pursuant to an effective registration statement, or (b) receive any damages if any or all of the securities have not been registered by us pursuant to an effective registration statement. A warrant holder will not be entitled to exercise warrants unless a registration statement covering the securities is effective or an exemption from registration is available. We will use our best efforts to maintain such a registration statement throughout the term of the Warrants.

Section 10.    Reservation of Shares. FPB will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue Shares upon exercise of Warrants, through the close of business on the Expiration Date, the number of Shares deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.

FPB covenants that all Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be fully paid and non-assessable.

Section 11.    Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Purchasable. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares which may be purchased upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence, after the date hereof, if FPB shall: (i) declare a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of common stock; (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares; or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for that dividend or on the effective date of that subdivision or combination, and/or the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable on that date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive solely the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to that date, such holder would have owned upon exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of that dividend, subdivision, or combination. The foregoing adjustments shall be made by FPB successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

Section 12.    Notices to Warrant Holders. Upon any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 11 hereof, FPB within twenty calendar days thereafter shall cause to be given to the registered holders of outstanding Warrant Certificates at their respective addresses appearing on the Warrant Certificate register written notice of the adjustments by first-class mail, postage prepaid.

Section 13.    Supplements and Amendments. FPB may from time to time supplement or amend this Plan without the consent or concurrence of or notice to any holders of Warrant Certificates or Warrants in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, to correct any defective provision, clerical omission, mistake or manifest error herein contained, or to make any other provision with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Warrant Certificates; provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants. Other amendments to this Plan may be approved by a vote of the holders of a majority of FPB’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.


Section 14.    Governing Law. This Plan and each Warrant Certificate issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Florida and for all purposes shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of said State.

Section 15.    Benefits of this Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than FPB and the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Plan; this Plan shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of FPB and the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates. Prior to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby, the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate, shall not be entitled to vote on or be deemed the holder of Common Stock of FPB which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, and nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant Certificate, any of the rights of a stockholder of FPB or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise.

Summary of Terms of Warrant Plan

The Warrant Plan provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events, the initial exercise prices set forth on the face of this Warrant Certificate may, subject to specified conditions, be adjusted (such exercise price, as initially established or as adjusted from time to time, is referred to herein as the “Exercise Price”). If the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Warrant Plan provides that the number of shares which can be purchased upon the exercise of each Warrant represented by this Warrant Certificate are subject to adjustment. The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be exercisable until 5:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date.

In the event that upon any exercise the number of Warrants exercised shall be fewer than the total number of Warrants represented hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants not so exercised. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares or any certificates which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of a fractional share, if any, there shall be paid to the registered holder of a Warrant with regard to which the fractional share would be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value (as determined pursuant to the Warrant Plan) of a share.

No payment or adjustment will be made for any cash dividends, whether paid or declared, on any shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant. Prior to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby, the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall not be entitled to vote on or be deemed the holder of Common Stock of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose.

The Company may deem and treat the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner hereof and of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone) for the purposes of any exercise of such Warrants and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the form of Assignment below duly completed and executed, a new Warrant Certificate representing the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate will be issued to the transferee; provided, however, that if the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate elects to transfer fewer than all Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate for the Warrants not so transferred will be issued to such registered holder. This Warrant Certificate, together with other Warrant Certificates, may be exchanged by the registered holder for another Warrant Certificate or Certificates of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate Warrants equal in number to the same full number of Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and any other Warrant Certificate so exchanged.

We will only issue shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants if, at the time of exercise, we have an effective registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will use our best efforts to maintain such a registration statement throughout the term of the warrants.
