Fee Structure and Payment Schedule

     The Bank agrees to compensate RP Financial for preparation of the business plan on a fixed fee basis of $20,000. Payment of the professional fees shall be made upon delivery of the completed business plan.

     The Bank also agrees to reimburse RP Financial for those direct out-of-pocket expenses necessary and incidental to providing the business planning services. Reimbursable expenses will likely include shipping, telephone/facsimile printing, computer and data services, and shall be paid to RP Financial as incurred and billed. RP Financial will agree to limit reimbursable expenses in conjunction with the appraisal engagement, subject to written authorization from the Bank to exceed such level.

     In the event the Bank shall, for any reason, discontinue this planning engagement prior to delivery of the completed business plan and payment of the progress payment fee, the Bank agrees to compensate RP Financial according to RP Financial’s standard billing rates for consulting services based on accumulated and verifiable time expenses, not to exceed the fixed fee described above, plus reimbursable expenses incurred.

     If during the course of the planning engagement, unforeseen events occur so as to materially change the nature or the work content of the business planning services described in this contract, the terms of said contract shall be subject to renegotiation by the Bank and RP Financial. Such unforeseen events may include changes in regulatory requirements as it specifically relates to the Bank or potential transactions that will dramatically impact the Bank such as a pending acquisition or branch transaction.
