AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (this "Agreement") is made
and entered into as of the 25th day of April, 1997, by and among Central
Illinois Bancorp, Inc., an Illinois corporation ("Buyer"), and First
Ozaukee Capital Corp., a Wisconsin corporation ("FOCC").
WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Buyer and FOCC have
approved the merger of CIB Acquisition Corporation ("CIBAC"), a Wisconsin
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer, with and into FOCC (the
"Merger"); and
WHEREAS, each of Buyer and FOCC believes that the proposed Merger,
and the exchange of the shares of FOCC common stock, $1.00 par value
("FOCC Common Stock"), for cash in the manner provided in this Agreement
and the Plan of Merger, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the "Plan of Merger"), is desirable and in the best interests of its
respective shareholders; and
WHEREAS, Buyer owns 100 percent of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of CIBAC, a Wisconsin corporation, and FOCC owns 100
percent of the issued and outstanding capital stock of First Ozaukee
Savings Bank, a Wisconsin state-chartered savings bank ("FOSB"). (FOCC
and FOSB are collectively referred to herein as First Ozaukee.)
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions herein
contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1 THE MERGER. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Plan of Merger, and pursuant to the provisions of the
Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (the "WBCL"), the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act") and Chapter 214 of the Wisconsin
Statutes Annotated, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.5
hereof), CIBAC shall be merged with and into FOCC pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth herein and FOCC shall be the surviving
corporation (the "Surviving Corporation").
The parties agree that FOCC and CIBAC will execute a Plan of
Merger substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A which
provides for the terms of the Merger and mode of carrying the same into
effect.
10
Following the Effective Time, FOCC shall be the Surviving
Corporation, shall be considered the same business and corporate entity
as each merging corporation, and shall have the other properties,
liabilities and attributes as provided by the WBCL. As set forth in the
Plan of Merger, pursuant to the Merger:
(a) the Articles of Incorporation of FOCC as in effect
immediately prior the Effective Time, shall be, from and after the
Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of FOCC as the Surviving
Corporation;
(b) the By-Laws of FOCC in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be, from and after the Effective Time, the By-Laws
of FOCC as the Surviving Corporation;
(c) each share of FOCC Common Stock ("FOCC Shares") issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than FOCC
Shares, the holders of which have validly demanded appraisal of such
shares pursuant to Subchapter XIII of the WBCL ("Subchapter XIII") and
shall not have voted such shares in favor of the Merger ("Dissenting
Shares"), and FOCC Shares, if any, that are owned by Buyer immediately
prior to the Merger, shall be converted by virtue of the Merger,
automatically and without action on the part of the holder thereof, into
the right to receive $15.10 per share for each FOCC Share (the "Merger
Price"), as adjusted as of the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.2 of
this Agreement, payable by Buyer, in cash, without any interest thereon
from the Effective Time until the time of payment, at the Effective Time
or such date thereafter as certificates shall be surrendered in
accordance with Section 1.3 of this Agreement.
(d) FOCC Shares that are not voted for adoption of the
Merger and with respect to which the holders thereof have taken all
necessary action as of the Effective Time to perfect their shareholder
appraisal rights in accordance with the applicable provisions of the WBCL
shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Price at or
after the Effective Time unless and until the holder of such shares
withdraws the demand for appraisal of their shares or otherwise becomes
ineligible to pursue appraisal rights under the WBCL.
(e) each common share of CIBAC issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one
validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable share of common stock of
FOCC.
(f) the holders of Dissenting Shares shall have the rights
provided by Subchapter XIII and no others.
(g) the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation
shall be as set forth in the Plan of Merger, attached hereto as EXHIBIT
A.
11
1.2 ADJUSTMENT TO MERGER PRICE.
(a) The capital of FOCC shall be calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as of the last
business day of the month prior to the Closing Date and, together with
the adjustments contemplated by Sections 1.2(b) and (c), shall constitute
the base capital ("Base Capital") for purposes of determining any
adjustment to the Merger Price. Five (5) business days prior to Closing
there shall commence an investigatory period during which Buyer shall
conduct a review of the books and records of FOCC and FOSB for the
purposes of making the necessary adjustments to the capital of FOCC, if
any.
(b) Base Capital shall reflect the following adjustments:
(i) A securities dealer unaffiliated with First
Ozaukee or Buyer or their subsidiaries, officers or directors (the
"Independent Dealer") and reasonably acceptable to First Ozaukee shall be
retained by Buyer (at Buyer's expense) to calculate the unrealized gain
or loss (i.e., the aggregate market value less the book value, net of
taxes calculated at 39%) (the "Xxxx to Market Adjustment") of those
securities of First Ozaukee listed in SCHEDULE 1.2 (which consist of all
securities owned by First Ozaukee and designated by First Ozaukee as
"Held to Maturity") as of the close of business on the business day prior
to the date of this Agreement (the "Signing Adjustment") and then again
on the business day prior to the Closing Date (the "Closing Adjustment").
The same Independent Dealer shall calculate the Signing Adjustment and
Closing Adjustment, and it shall employ the same methodology to calculate
the Xxxx to Market Adjustment on both dates. If the Closing Adjustment
is more negative than the Signing Adjustment, then the Base Capital shall
be decreased by an amount equal to the difference between (A) the Signing
Adjustment and (B) the Closing Adjustment. If the Closing Adjustment is
equal to the Signing Adjustment, then no adjustment shall be made to Base
Capital under this Section 1.2(b)(i).
(ii) The Base Capital shall be reduced by the amount
of Unreimbursable Expenses incurred and estimated to be incurred by First
Ozaukee before and after the Closing Date, but not yet accrued, relating
to the environmental remediation and the environmental liabilities,
contingent or otherwise, associated with the FOSB office located at W61
X000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx ("Cedarburg Facility"). For
purposes of this Agreement, Unreimbursable Expenses shall include all
costs and expenses arising out of, relating to or associated with the
environmental remediation and the environmental liabilities, contingent
or otherwise, associated with the Cedarburg facility that are not
eligible for reimbursement from PECFA pursuant to the laws and
regulations governing PECFA. The estimation of Unreimbursable Expenses
shall be determined in the sole discretion of an environmental consultant
designated by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to First Ozaukee. Buyer
shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with retaining
the environmental consultant herein provided.
12
(c) The following adjustments shall not be deducted from
capital in the calculation of Base Capital (and if previously deducted
from capital shall be added back to Base Capital):
(i) Xx. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx' xxxxxxxxx payment to be
paid by First Ozaukee prior to Closing in the maximum amount of $185,968
and all tax benefits associated therewith, as provided in Section 5.1(j)
hereof.
(ii) Amounts payable to Xx. Xxxxx pursuant to his
post merger consulting agreement, as provided in Section 5.1(j) hereof,
including such amounts to be paid to or on behalf of Xx. Xxxxx or his
spouse to obtain post-retirement primary and/or supplemental health
insurance, and all tax benefits associated therewith.
(iii) Professional fees expensed or due and payable to
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx & Co. Incorporated ("Baird") in regard to the Fairness
Opinion fee, transaction fee and related out-of-pocket expenses and any
amounts due or to become due to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxx ("SHW"), all in the
maximum amount of $170,000.
(iv) Accounting and/or tax adjustments which relate
to the termination of the First Ozaukee Capital Corp. Incentive Plan, the
cashing out of the stock options under the First Ozaukee Capital Corp.
Option Plan and reversal of the ESOP contra equity account.
In the event the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (iii) of
this Section 1.2(c) exceed the stated maximum dollar amounts, Base
Capital shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by such amount
which exceeds the stated maximum.
(d) In the event the Base Capital as calculated pursuant to
Section 1.2(a) is less than $8,113,000, the Merger Price shall be reduced
by an amount equal to the difference between $8,113,000 and Base Capital,
divided by 687,811 shares ("Decreased Adjusted Merger Price"). Provided,
however, if Base Capital as calculated pursuant to Section 1.2(a) is
below $8,113,000 by an amount that results in a Decreased Adjusted Merger
Price of less than $15.05 per share, Buyer in its sole discretion may:
(i) substitute $15.05 in place of the $15.10 Merger
Price in Section 1.1(c); or
(ii) present FOCC with its calculation of a Decreased
Adjusted Merger Price below $15.05 and First Ozaukee shall have the
option, in its sole discretion, of accepting that Decreased Adjusted
Merger Price and completing the Merger or terminating the Agreement.
13
(e) If the Closing Adjustment is more positive than the
Signing Adjustment by an amount greater than $114,000, then the Merger
Price or the Decreased Adjusted Merger Price, as the case may be, shall
be increased by the amount by which the Closing Adjustment is more
positive than the Signing Adjustment less $114,000, divided by 687,811
shares ("Increased Adjusted Merger Price"). In the event the Closing
Adjustment is not more positive than the Signing Adjustment by an amount
greater than $114,000, then there shall be no increase to the Merger
Price. Provided however, if the Increased Adjusted Merger Price is
greater than $15.15 per share, FOCC in its sole discretion may:
(i) substitute $15.15 in place of the $15.10 Merger
Price in Section 1.1(c); or
(ii) present Buyer with its calculation of an
Increased Adjusted Merger Price greater than $15.15, and Buyer shall have
the option, in its sole discretion, of accepting that Increased Adjusted
Merger Price and completing the Merger or terminating the Agreement.
1.3 PAYING AGENT. Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall
designate a paying agent, which shall be a state or national bank
unaffiliated with Buyer and having a place of business in the Central
Business District of Milwaukee ("Paying Agent"), to pay to the
shareholders of FOCC the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to the
Merger. As soon as practicable after Buyer shall have received all
regulatory approvals referred to in Section 5.1(d) hereof (irrespective
of the expiration of any waiting periods) and the shareholders of FOCC
shall have approved the Merger in accordance with the WBCL, the Paying
Agent shall deliver a transmittal form, in form and substance
satisfactory to FOCC, to each holder of FOCC Shares (other than Buyer)
advising such holder of the procedure for surrendering the share
certificates to the Paying Agent for payment. After the Effective Time
and upon the surrender of a certificate evidencing FOCC Shares, the
holder shall be paid by check, without interest thereon, the amount of
cash to which he is then entitled hereunder. Until so surrendered and
exchanged, each certificate shall represent solely the right to receive
the cash, without interest, into which it shall have been converted
pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof, and the Paying Agent shall not be
required to pay the holder thereof the cash into which such certificate
shall have been converted; provided that procedures allowing for payment
with respect to lost or destroyed certificates against receipt of
customary and appropriate certifications and indemnity shall be provided.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.3 or elsewhere in this
Agreement to the contrary, no party hereto shall be liable to a former
holder of FOCC Shares for any cash delivered to a public official
pursuant to applicable escheat or abandoned property laws.
1.4 FUNDING OF PAYING AGENT. Buyer shall irrevocably deposit with
the Paying Agent at the Effective Time, by wire, or other acceptable
means, the total amount of funds required to be paid at the Effective
Time pursuant to Sections 1.1 and 1.2 hereof for exchanges in accordance
with this Agreement.
1.5 CLOSING; EFFECTIVE TIME. The closing of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan of Merger (the "Closing")
shall take place at 10:00 a.m., local time, at a place mutually agreeable
to the parties on the first business day following the last business day
of the preceding month as mutually agreeable to by the parties hereto
(the "Closing Date"), which date shall be (i) not later than thirty-five
(35) days after the later of (a) the approval of the Agreement and Plan
of Merger by the shareholders of FOCC, or (b) the approval of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan of Merger by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board") and any other regulatory agencies or regulatory authorities; as
applicable, and all waiting periods after such approvals have expired, or
(ii) such later date as may be agreed to by the parties in writing (the
entities in the foregoing clause (b) being referred to herein
collectively as the "Regulatory Authorities" and individually as a
"Regulatory Authority"). At the Closing the parties shall each deliver
to the other evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions to the Merger
as may reasonably be required (including materials required to be
delivered under Article V) and shall execute, deliver and cause to be
filed with the Wisconsin Secretary of State the Articles of Merger. The
Merger shall be effective on the date and at the time (the "Effective
Time") the Articles of Merger become effective in accordance with the
provisions of the WBCL.
1.6 STOCK OPTIONS. Each holder of an option to acquire FOCC Shares
("Option") awarded under the First Ozaukee Capital Corp. 1995 Stock
Option Plan (the "FOCC Option Plan"), which is outstanding on the date
hereof and remaining outstanding at the Effective Time shall receive from
Buyer, as of the Effective Time, whether or not the Option is then
exercisable under the terms of the FOCC Option Plan, a cash payment in an
amount equal to the product of (i) the number of FOCC Shares subject to
such Option at the Effective Time, and (ii) the amount, if any, by which
the Merger Price EXCEEDS the exercise price per share of such Option, net
of any cash that must be withheld under federal and state income and
employment tax requirements. Such cash payments shall be in
consideration of, and shall result in, the settlement and cancellation of
all such Options. As a condition to the receipt of a cash payment in
cancellation of all such Options, each option holder shall execute a
cancellation agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Buyer.

Buyer under this Agreement, there are and will be at the Closing no
outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments,
agreements, contracts or other rights in existence to purchase, acquire
or issue from FOSB any shares of capital stock, debt or equity

such reports become available, Buyer true and complete copies of the
following financial statements and reports of FOCC and FOSB:
(a) Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition,

(b) First Ozaukee's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with

The First Ozaukee Financial Statements described in clause (a)
above are audited, comply with and have been prepared in accordance with

of First Ozaukee are true and correct and accurately reflect the
financial condition of First Ozaukee. The information contained in the
First Ozaukee Financial Statements described in clauses (b), (c) and (d)

respective dates, such FOCC Regulatory Reports complied in all material
respects with the statutes, rules and regulations in force or promulgated
by the applicable regulatory authority with which they were filed and did

shareholders since January 1, 1991, and no such registration statement,
prospectus, report, schedule, proxy, statement or communication contained

1991. FOCC has timely filed all reports, registration statements and
other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Acts.
2.7 UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. First Ozaukee has no liabilities,
whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to
become due, existing or arising out of any transaction or state of facts
existing on or prior to the date hereof except (a) as fully disclosed,
reflected or reserved against in the First Ozaukee Financial Statements,
(b) as and to the extent arising under contracts, commitments,
transactions or circumstances identified in this Agreement or the
schedules or exhibits provided for herein, and (c) as and to the extent
incurred in the ordinary course of business since September 30, 1996.
2.8 LOAN PORTFOLIO. Except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 2.8, the loans
contained in the loan portfolio of FOSB are evidenced by promissory notes
or other evidences of indebtedness, which, with all ancillary security
documents, constitute, valid and binding obligations of FOSB and each of
the other parties thereto enforceable in accordance with their terms
except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and
remedies generally and by applicable laws or principles of equity which
may affect the availability of equitable remedies. First Ozaukee has
provided Buyer with a true and correct Loan Portfolio Report which sets
forth the current status of each loan, including, but not limited to, the
outstanding principal and interest, payment history, whether any defaults
have occurred, the nature and basis for any renewals, loan modifications
or any other agreements which materially altered or changed the terms of
the loan when it was originated or purchased, and any and all collection
efforts or loan workouts engaged in by First Ozaukee. To the best of
First Ozaukee's knowledge, except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 2.8, none of
such loans is subject to any defense, set-off or counterclaim of any
party liable thereon and all such loans which are secured, as evidenced
by the ancillary security documents, are so secured by valid and
enforceable liens. FOSB's reserve for loan losses has been calculated in
accordance with prudent and customary banking practices and is adequate
to reflect the risk inherent in FOSB's loan portfolio.
2.9 NO ADVERSE CHANGES. Other than as specifically disclosed in
this Agreement, the First Ozaukee Financial Statements, the schedules or
exhibits provided for herein, or any other writing delivered to Buyer,
since September 30, 1996, First Ozaukee has not incurred any liability of
any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise
and whether due or to become due) that, either alone or when combined
with all similar liabilities, had, or could reasonably be expected to
have, a material adverse effect on First Ozaukee, nor occurred any
material adverse change or any condition, event, circumstance, fact or
occurrence (other than changes resulting from or attributable to (i)
changes in laws, regulations and GAAP or interpretations, or (ii) general
economic or competitive conditions) that may reasonably be expected to
result in a material adverse change in First Ozaukee's business, income,
assets, liabilities or financial condition.

Ozaukee has, since September 30, 1995, been conducted only in the

or the schedules or exhibits provided for herein include substantially
all of the assets owned by First Ozaukee, except for those subsequently
disposed of for fair value or otherwise abandoned or disposed of as
worthless in the ordinary course of business. First Ozaukee has a valid
right to use or a valid leasehold interest in, all real property used by
it in the conduct of its business as it is now being conducted, subject
to no mortgage, pledge, lien, option, conditional sale agreement,
encumbrance, security interest, title exceptions or restrictions or claim
or charge of any kind except for (i) liens for taxes not yet due and
payable, (ii) rights of other parties under leases or other arrangements
by which First Ozaukee uses such real property, and (iii) minor
imperfections of title none of which is substantial in amount, materially
detracts from the value or impairs First Ozaukee's present use of the
property. To the best of First Ozaukee's knowledge, all material
certificates, licenses, and permits required for the lawful use and
occupancy of such real property by First Ozaukee, have been obtained and
are in full force and effect. Except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 2.11, all
material tangible personal property owned by First Ozaukee, or used by it
in its business and necessary for the operation of its business, is in

all liens and encumbrances.

Ozaukee).
4.13 MAINTENANCE OF CAPITAL LEVELS. Buyer, its financial
institution subsidiary or subsidiaries and First Ozaukee shall maintain
at least the minimum capital levels as required by Regulatory
Authorities. Buyer shall use its best efforts to take no action to cause

transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan of Merger to
fail to satisfy the standards of the Regulatory
Authorities.
4.14 NO CONTROL OF FIRST OZAUKEE BY BUYER. Other then as set forth
herein, until the Effective Time, the management of First Ozaukee and the

4.15 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS. First Ozaukee shall not take any action
to amend or extend the current employment agreements of Xx. Xxxxxxx X.
Xxxxx and Xx. Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx without the prior written consent of Buyer.
4.16 EMPLOYEES.
(a) In the event Buyer terminates any employee of First
Ozaukee (other than Xx. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xx. Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx, whose
severance benefits will be provided for in written employment and/or
consulting agreements), within twelve (12) months after the Effective
Time, and for a reason other than "Cause" (as defined below), Buyer shall
provide lump sum cash severance payments to such employee at the time of
termination in the following amounts: (i) non-officer -- 1/2 month per
full year of service, maximum 3 months current monthly salary; and (ii)
officer --1 month per full year of service, maximum 6 months current
36
monthly salary. In computing such severance payments for regular part-
time employees, their per month compensation shall be based on one-
twelfth of the actual number of hours worked by any such employee during
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean termination
based upon: (i) an employee's willful or continued failure to perform
substantially his or her duties with Buyer (other than as a result of
incapacity due to physical or mental condition), or (ii) an employee's
willful commission of misconduct that is or such that it may be
materially injurious to Buyer, monetarily or otherwise, or (iii) an
employee's conviction for a felony offense. For purposes of this
paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on the employee's part, shall be
considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, without good
faith and without reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the
best interest of Buyer.
(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer and the
Surviving Corporation shall not be responsible for the payment of any
other obligations of First Ozaukee to its employees.
(c) All employees of First Ozaukee shall be paid prior to
the Effective Time for all wages, accrued but unpaid bonuses, accrued
vacation time and all accrued and vested benefits.
(d) First Ozaukee agrees to cooperate with Buyer regarding
the manner in which the existing employees of First Ozaukee are notified
of the execution of this Agreement. First Ozaukee shall announce the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement at a meeting of its employees
at which representatives of Buyer shall be allowed to be present and
answer questions. First Ozaukee shall render reasonable assistance to
Buyer in regard to employment of any of the First Ozaukee employees.
4.17 INDEMNIFICATION AND DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' LIABILITY
INSURANCE. Buyer agrees that from and after the Effective Time it shall
indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer
of FOCC and FOSB (the "Indemnified Parties"), to the extent as provided
in the Articles of Incorporation of FOCC as in effect at the time of
Closing but in no event greater than those prescribed by law or any bank
regulatory authority, against any costs or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (collectively, "Costs") incurred in connection with any
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil,
administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or
occurring at or prior to the Effective Time that are related in whole or
in part to his or her capacity as a director or officer of First Ozaukee,
whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to
the full extent permitted under applicable law (and First Ozaukee shall
advance expenses as incurred to the full extent permitted under
applicable law, provided the person to whom expenses are advanced
provides, an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification). Prior
to the Closing Date, First Ozaukee shall purchase at its own expense by
single (one-time) premium tail directors' and officers' liability
37
insurance coverage (of at least the same coverage and amounts, and
containing terms which are not materially less advantageous than the
policy in force on the date of this Agreement and more fully described on
SCHEDULE 2.12) for three (3) years from the Effective Time for present
and former directors and officers for matters existing or occurring prior
to, at or after the Effective Time.
4.18 BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF FOCC AND FOSB. At the Effective Time,
all Directors of FOCC and FOSB shall resign by submitting letters of
resignation to Buyer, and shall be replaced by Directors selected by
Buyer.
4.19 OFFICER AND DIRECTOR LOANS. Subject to restrictions of
applicable regulations and law, the loans from FOSB currently held by
officers and directors and employees of FOSB will not be affected by the
transactions contemplated hereby.
4.20 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.
(a) Buyer agrees to continue to provide employees of First
Ozaukee employed by the Surviving Corporation on or after the Effective
Time (the "First Ozaukee Employees") with compensation that is no less
favorable to that in effect as of the Effective Time, and terms of
employment which are substantially comparable to those provided to other
similarly situated employees of Buyer. Buyer shall allow such employees
to participate in, and obtain those benefits afforded to other similarly
situated employees of Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of such
benefit programs.
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, First Ozaukee and its
representatives shall take all necessary action to terminate the First
Ozaukee Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "First Ozaukee
ESOP"); including, but not limited to, amending the First Ozaukee ESOP to
provide that no more contributions shall be made thereto and that any new
employees as of the Effective Time shall not become participants. Within
thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement in anticipation of such
termination, First Ozaukee and its representatives shall apply for and
use their best efforts to obtain a favorable Final Determination Letter
from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a determination that the
termination of the ESOP does not effect its prior qualified status.
The loan between FOCC and the First Ozaukee ESOP (the "ESOP
Loan") shall be repaid in full with cash received by the First Ozaukee
ESOP from the Paying Agent for the FOCC Shares in the amount equal to the
Merger Price multiplied by the number of unallocated shares held by the
First Ozaukee ESOP, and any unallocated portion of the consideration
remaining after such repayment shall be allocated to the accounts of
those First Ozaukee Employees who are participants and beneficiaries and
such other participants and beneficiaries, if any (such individuals
hereafter, the "ESOP Participants"), in accordance with the terms of the
First Ozaukee ESOP as amended with respect to such termination. All ESOP
Participants shall fully vest and have a nonforfeitable interest in their
accrued benefits under the First Ozaukee ESOP.
38
As soon as practicable after the receipt of a letter from the
IRS as to the tax qualified status of the First Ozaukee ESOP upon its
termination under Section 401(a) and 4975(e) of the Code (the "Final
Determination Letter"), distributions of the benefits under the First
Ozaukee ESOP shall be made to the ESOP Participants. The remaining
proceeds related to the unallocated shares after the payment of the ESOP
loan shall be allocated to the ESOP Participants to the extent permitted
by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Any amounts not allocated shall be
held unallocated in a suspense account. The Surviving Corporation may
continue the ESOP for a period of time not to exceed the transition
period allowed by IRC Section 410(b)(6)(C). Also, if assets must be held
in suspense, the Plan will be continued until such assets can be
allocated, for a period not to exceed the allowed transition period. At
the end of this period, if any unallocated assets must still be held in
suspense, the ESOP may be merged into another qualified plan sponsored by
Buyer or the surviving company. During the transition period, the ESOP
may not be amended, except to make such changes as are required to
maintain its tax qualified status, or to terminate or merge the Plan.
Employees of the Buyer or surviving company who were not Participants as
of the Effective Date, shall not be allowed to become Participants on or
after the Effective Date.
In the event that First Ozaukee and its respective representatives,
prior to the Effective Time, and Buyer and its representatives after the
Effective Time, reasonably determine that the First Ozaukee ESOP cannot
obtain a favorable final determination letter, or that the amounts held
therein cannot be so applied, allocated or distributed without causing
the First Ozaukee ESOP to lose its qualified status, First Ozaukee prior
to the Effective Time and Buyer after the Effective Time shall take such
action as they may reasonably determine with respect to the distribution
of benefits to the ESOP participants, provided that the assets of the
First Ozaukee ESOP shall be held or paid for the benefit of the ESOP
participants and further that in no event shall any portion of the
amounts held in the First Ozaukee ESOP revert directly or indirectly to
First Ozaukee or any affiliate thereof, or to Buyer or any affiliate
thereof.
(c) Prior to the Effective Time, First Ozaukee shall take
all necessary action to terminate the First Ozaukee Savings Bank Money
Purchase Pension Plan (the "First Ozaukee Pension Plan"); including, but
not limited to, amending the First Ozaukee Pension Plan to provide that
for periods beginning on and after May 1, 1997, no further contributions
shall be made thereto, no new employees shall become Participants and
that all Participants thereto shall fully vest and have a nonforfeitable
interest in their accrued benefits under the First Ozaukee Pension Plan.
Within thirty (30) days of this Agreement, in anticipation of
such termination and distribution, First Ozaukee and its representatives
shall apply for and use their best efforts to obtain a favorable Final
Determination Letter from the IRS. Prior to Closing, the First Ozaukee
39
Pension Plan shall be fully funded and no further contribution thereto
shall be required by the successor corporation or Buyer.
In the event that First Ozaukee and its representatives prior
to the Effective Time, and Buyer and its representatives after the
Effective Time, reasonably determine that the First Ozaukee Pension Plan
cannot obtain a favorable Final Determination Letter, or that the amounts
held therein cannot be so applied, allocated or distributed without
causing the First Ozaukee Pension Plan to lose its qualified status,
First Ozaukee prior to the Effective Time and Buyer after the Effective
Time shall take such action as they may reasonably determine with respect
to the distribution of benefits to the First Ozaukee Pension Plan
Participants ("Pension Plan Participants"), provided that the assets of
the First Ozaukee Pension Plan shall be held or paid for the benefit of
the Pension Plan Participants and further that in no event shall any
portion of the amounts held in the First Ozaukee Pension Plan revert
directly or indirectly to First Ozaukee or any affiliate thereof, or to
Buyer or any affiliate thereof.
(d) Prior to Closing, First Ozaukee shall terminate the
First Ozaukee Post-Retirement Welfare Benefit Program and terminate all
of its obligations to provide death benefits to employees, officers and
directors, and no payments of any kind shall be made on account of such
termination. Buyer shall be under no obligation to continue any life
insurance plans, programs or health insurance benefits to officers of
First Ozaukee. Buyer will pay Xx. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx $315.00 ($240.00
allocated to Xxx. Xxxxx Xxxxx and $75.00 allocated to Xx. Xxxxx) per
month for 48 consecutive months following the Closing Date and $150.00
per month ($75.00 allocated to Xxx. Xxxxx and $75 allocated to Xx. Xxxxx)
thereafter until Xx. Xxxxx attains age 80 as reimbursement for the
purchase of primary and/or supplemental health insurance coverage. In
the event that Xx. Xxxxx becomes deceased prior to attaining age 80, or
Xxx. Xxxxx become deceased prior to Xx. Xxxxx attaining age 80, the
allocated portion of the payments provided herein shall cease with
respect to the deceased.
(e) To the extent allowable by Buyer's Plan, certain
expenses incurred by each First Ozaukee employee for health benefits
shall be counted during Buyer's Plan year for purposes of such employees
deductible and co-payment limitations under Buyer's plan.
(f) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that First Ozaukee and
FOSB shall be permitted to take whatever action they deem to be
reasonably necessary to provide that all Options or awards granted under
the FOCC Option Plan and the First Ozaukee Incentive Plan, and all
account balances under the First Ozaukee ESOP and First Ozaukee Pension
Plan, shall be fully vested, nonforfeitable, paid and satisfied in full
and terminated as of the Effective Time. All awards under the First
Ozaukee Incentive Plan that have been granted prior to the Effective Time
shall be considered outstanding First Ozaukee Shares as of the Effective
Time.
40
4.21 OBLIGATIONS TO XXXXX AND SHW. All professional fees, costs and
expenses payable to Xxxxx and SHW shall be paid in full or accrued by
First Ozaukee prior to Closing.

undertake, and conclude as diligently as possible, a full and complete
soil and groundwater environmental assessment of the Cedarburg facility
and forthwith commence soil and groundwater remediation necessary to
obtain a site closure letter satisfactory to Buyer in its sole
discretion. In the event that First Ozaukee has not received a site
closure letter satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion prior to the
Closing Date then, pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Agreement, the Base
Capital shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(ii).
4.23 PROXY STATEMENT. Buyer acknowledges that it will be required
to provide certain information to First Ozaukee and cooperate with First
Ozaukee in the preparation of a proxy statement relating to the approval
of this Agreement and Plan of Merger by the FOCC shareholders. First
Ozaukee shall provide for Buyer's review those portions of any such proxy
statement incorporating information provided to First Ozaukee by Buyer.
Except as to the accuracy of the information provided by Buyer to First
Ozaukee, if any, First Ozaukee shall have the sole and exclusive
responsibility for the preparation and content of the proxy statement.

regulatory approvals in order to complete the Merger, due to a
determination by the Federal Reserve Board or other regulatory authority
that Buyer (or its financial institution subsidiary or subsidiaries)
would have inadequate capital upon consummation of the proposed Merger,
Buyer shall make a cash payment to First Ozaukee in an amount equal to
$300,000.

April 25, 1997, Buyer is acquiring, through merger, First Ozaukee
effective ________________, 1997 (the "Merger Date"); and
WHEREAS, the Plan provides that, as a condition precedent to the

therein, the Successor Corporation and the Consultant shall enter into
this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Consultant's extensive background, knowledge and experience
in the financial services industry will substantially benefit Buyer; and
WHEREAS, the parties are mutually desirous of entering into this
Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions for the independent
contractor relationship between Successor Corporation and Consultant; and
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Buyer, First Ozaukee and FOSB
have approved and authorized this Agreement with Consultant;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements set forth below:
1. CONSULTING SERVICES. For a term of twenty-four (24) months,
commencing on the Merger Date and ending on the second annual anniversary
thereof ("Consulting Term"), the Consultant agrees to consult with and
advise Successor Corporation, from time to time, subject to the
Consultant's other duties and commitments.
2. POSITION AND DUTIES. Consultant's responsibilities shall be
limited to performing consulting services for Successor Corporation for
the Consulting Term, consisting of assisting with the integration of
First Ozaukee and FOSB with Buyer's business and operations, management,
corporate and financial consulting and such related projects as may from
time to time be assigned by Buyer, and which are consistent with the
62
Consultant's skills and duties. It is understood that Consultant will not
be an employee of Successor Corporation, but only an independent contractor
following the Merger Date.
Consulting services required by Successor Corporation under this
Section shall not exceed 80 hours in any month. Consultant shall not be
entitled to participate in, and specifically waives any right to
participate in, any retirement and welfare benefit plans and programs
maintained by the Successor Corporation or Buyer. The Successor
Corporation shall provide Consultant with adequate equipment, supplies,
office space or secretarial assistance required to perform the consulting
services requested by Successor Corporation under this Section.
4. COMPENSATION. As compensation for consulting services provided
pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant shall receive from FOSB the
compensation and benefits set forth below:
(i) COMPENSATION. During the Consulting Term, FOSB shall pay
Consultant compensation ("Compensation") in the amount of $168,000 for
the term of this Agreement. Consultant's Compensation shall be paid in
equal monthly installments, with the first payment due 30 days after the
Merger Date. All subsequent payments shall be due on the same day of
each successive month.
(ii) OTHER BENEFITS. FOSB shall pay Consultant Three Hundred
Fifteen Dollars ($315.00) ($240.00 allocated to Xxx. Xxxxx and $75.00
allocated to Consultant) per month for 48 consecutive months following
the Closing Date and One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00) ($75.00
allocated to Xxx. Xxxxx and $75.00 allocated to Consultant) per month
thereafter until Consultant attains age 80, as reimbursement for the
purchase of primary and/or supplemental health insurance coverage. In
the event that Consultant becomes deceased prior to attaining age 80, or
Xxx. Xxxxx becomes deceased prior to Consultant attaining age 80, the
allocated portion of the payments provided herein shall cease with
respect to the deceased. FOSB shall have no further obligation to make
any payments as provided herein to Consultant or Xxx. Xxxxx for the
purchase of primary and/or supplemental health insurance coverage after
Xx. Xxxxx attains age 80.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as granting
Consultant the right to continue or participate in any benefit plan or
program, or to receive any other perquisite of employment provided under
Consultant's employment with First Ozaukee or FOSB (except to the extent
Consultant had previously earned or accumulated vested rights therein)
following termination or discontinuance of such plan, program or
perquisite by the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Successor Corporation shall have no obligation to
63
Consultant or Xxx. Xxxxx under the First Ozaukee post-retirement welfare
benefit program.

termination, the date on which Consultant ceases to provide services

is referred to as the "Termination Date".
(i) DEATH; DISABILITY. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
death or disability of Consultant. As used in this Agreement,
"disability" shall mean Consultant's inability, as the result of physical
or mental incapacity, to substantially perform his duties with the
Successor Corporation for a period of 180 consecutive days. Any question
as to the existence of Consultant's disability upon which Consultant and
the Successor Corporation cannot agree shall be determined by a qualified
independent physician mutually agreeable to Consultant and the Successor
Corporation or, if the parties are unable to agree upon a physician
within ten (10) days after notice from either to the other suggesting a
physician, by a physician designated by the then president of the medical
society for the county in which Consultant maintains his principal
residence. The costs of any such medical examination shall be borne by
the Successor Corporation.
If Consultant is terminated due to disability, he shall be paid
75% of his Compensation at the rate in effect at the time notice of
termination is given for any remaining portion of the Consulting Term,
such amounts to be paid in substantially equal monthly installments and
offset by any monthly payments actually received by Consultant during
such payment period from (i) any disability plans and/or (ii) any
governmental social security or workers compensation program.
(ii) TERMINATION BY SUCCESSOR CORPORATION. The Successor
Corporation may terminate Consultant's consulting services under this
Agreement without cause at any time, and thereafter FOSB's obligations
under this Agreement shall cease and terminate, except that Consultant
shall receive all Compensation and other benefits which he would have
otherwise received under Section 4 hereof. Successor Corporation may
terminate Consultant at any time for cause. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Cause" shall mean:
(A) The willful failure by Employee to substantially perform
her duties with FOSB (other than any such failure resulting from the
Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written
demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the Board,

Employee has not substantially performed her duties;
64
(B) Any willful act of misconduct by Employee which is
materially injurious to FOSB monetarily or otherwise;
(C) A criminal conviction of Employee for any act involving
dishonesty, breach of trust or a violation of the banking or savings and
loan laws of the United States;

felony;
(E) A breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit;

provision of this Agreement which would have a material adverse effect on
FOSB; or
(H) Suspension, removal, and/or prohibition (whether temporary
or permanent) from participating in the conduct of FOSB's affairs by a
notice served under Sections 8(e)(3), 8(e)(4) or Section 8(g)(1), of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(3),(4) and
(g)(1) or, if FOSB is in default as defined in section 3(x)(1) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1813(x)(1)], except to
the extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for
the continued operation of FOSB (i) by the commissioner, at the time the
FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of
FOSB under 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; or (ii) by the
commissioner at the time the office approves a supervisory merger to
resolve problems related to the operation of FOSB or when FOSB is
determined by the commissioner to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.
In the event Consultant is terminated for cause, Successor
Corporation's obligations under this Agreement shall cease and terminate
except for the benefits set forth in Section 4(ii) hereof.
(iii) VOLUNTARY TERMINATION BY CONSULTANT. Consultant may
voluntarily terminate his consulting services under this Agreement at any
time by giving at least ninety (90) days prior written notice to the
Successor Corporation. In such event, no additional compensation shall
be payable to Consultant under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 5(iii), Consultant shall
receive all other benefits to which he was otherwise entitled under
Section 4(ii).

8. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(i) SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.
(A) Successor Corporation will require any successor (whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Successor
Corporation ("successor organization") to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Successor Corporation would have been required to perform if no such
succession had taken place.
(B) No right or interest to or in any payments or benefits
under this agreement shall be assignable or transferable in any respect
by the Consultant.
(C) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by Consultant and his heirs, beneficiaries
and personal representatives and the Successor Corporation and any
successor organization.
(ii) NONCOMPETITION PROVISION. Consultant acknowledges that
the development of personal contacts and relationships is an essential
element of the savings and loan business, that FOSB has invested
considerable time and money in his development of such contacts and
relationships, that FOSB and Successor Corporation could suffer
irreparable harm if he were to solicit the business of FOSB customers,
and that it is reasonable to protect FOSB against competitive activities
by Consultant. Consultant covenants and agrees, in recognition of the
foregoing and in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein,
that in the event of the termination of this Agreement for any reason,
Consultant will not accept employment with or provide consulting services
to any Significant Competitor of FOSB and Successor Corporation for a
period of thirty-six (36) months following such termination. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term Significant Competitor means any
financial institution including, but not limited to, any commercial bank,
savings bank, savings and loan association, credit union, or mortgage
banking corporation which at the time of termination of Consultant's
relationship with FOSB, or during the period of this covenant not to
compete, has a home, branch or other office in any county in which FOSB has
an office or which has, during the twelve (12) months preceding Consultant's
67
termination, originated, or which during the period of this covenant not
to compete originates, more than $500,000 in commercial or mortgage loans
secured by real property in any such county.
Consultant agrees that the non-competition provisions set forth
herein are necessary for the protection of FOSB and Successor Corporation
and are reasonably limited as to (i) the scope of activities affected,
(ii) their duration and geographic scope, and (iii) their effect on
Consultant and the public. In the event Consultant violates the non-
competition provisions set forth herein, Successor Corporation shall be
entitled, in addition to its other legal remedies, to enjoin the
employment or consulting relationship of Consultant with any Significant
Competitor for the period set forth herein. If Consultant violates this
covenant and FOSB brings legal action for injunctive or other relief,
FOSB shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining such
relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full period of the restrictive
covenant. Accordingly, the covenant shall be deemed to have the duration
specified herein, computed from the date such relief is granted, but
reduced by any period between commencement of the period and the date of
the first violation. In addition to such other relief as may be awarded,
if FOSB is the prevailing party it shall be entitled to reimbursement for
all reasonable costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred in enforcing
its rights hereunder.

all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in

Agreement.
2. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT. The period of Employee's employment under
this Agreement shall begin as of the Commencement Date and expire on the
first anniversary of the first day of the month following such date,
unless sooner terminated as provided herein. The term of employment as
in effect from time to time hereunder shall be referred to as the
"Employment Term".
3. POSITION AND DUTIES. Subject to Section 5 (iv) (B), Employee
shall serve FOSB as its Vice President and shall render executive,
policy-making and other management services of the type customarily
performed by persons serving in similar capacities at other affiliates of
Buyer, together with such other duties and responsibilities as may be
from time to time determined by FOSB's or Buyer's Board of Directors.
4. COMPENSATION. As compensation for services provided pursuant to
this Agreement, Employee shall receive from FOSB the compensation and
benefits set forth below:
(i) BASE SALARY. During the Employment Term, Employee shall
receive a base salary ("Base Salary") in such amount as may from time to
time be approved by the Board. The Base Salary shall at no time be less
than $45,250 per annum. Employee's Base Salary under this Agreement for
the employment term shall not thereafter be reduced except as part of a
general pro-rata reduction in compensation applicable to all FOSB
Executive Officers. Employee's Base Salary and other compensation shall
be paid in accordance with Successor Corporation's regular payroll
practices, as then in effect and as may be changed from time to time by
Buyer. Buyer may, at its sole discretion, increase the Base Salary of
Employee.
(ii) OTHER BENEFITS. During the Employment Term, FOSB shall
provide or make available to Employee all other benefits of employment
generally made available to other Officers of similar stature of Buyer.
Such benefits shall include participation by Employee in any bonus
programs, group health, other benefit programs, Employee Stock Ownership
Plan ("ESOP"), 401(k) or other similar retirement programs consistent
with the terms, provisions and eligibility requirements thereof.
74
Employee shall be entitled to vacation, sick time and personal
days in the same manner and to the same extent as provided under Buyer's
policies as in effect from time to time for its other Officers of similar
stature.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as granting
Employee the right to continue in any benefit plan or program, or to
receive any other perquisite of employment provided under this paragraph
4 (ii) (except to the extent Employee had previously earned or
accumulated vested rights therein) following termination or
discontinuance of such plan, program or perquisite by the Board.
5. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated, subject to
payment of the compensation and other benefits described below, upon
occurrence of any of the events described herein. In case of such
termination, the date on which Employee ceases to be employed under this
Agreement, after giving effect to any prior notice requirement set forth
below, is referred to as the "Termination Date".
(i) DEATH; DISABILITY. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
death or disability of Employee and no additional compensation shall be
payable to Employee under this Agreement except as to any other benefit
in which she was vested or to which she was otherwise entitled under
Section 4. As used in this Agreement, "disability" shall mean Employee's
inability, as the result of physical or mental incapacity, to
substantially perform her duties with FOSB for a period of 180
consecutive days. Any question as to the existence of Employee's
disability upon which Employee and FOSB cannot agree shall be determined
by a qualified independent physician mutually agreeable to Employee and
FOSB or, if the parties are unable to agree upon a physician within ten
(10) days after notice from either to the other suggesting a physician,
by a physician designated by the then president of the medical society
for the county in which Employee maintains her principal residence. The
costs of any such medical examination shall be borne by FOSB. If
Employee is terminated due to disability, she shall be paid 75% of her
Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time notice of termination is
given for any remaining portion of the Employment Term, such amounts to
be paid in substantially equal monthly installments and offset by any
monthly payments actually received by Employee during such payment period
from (i) any disability plans and/or (ii) any governmental social
security or workers' compensation program.
(ii) CAUSE. Successor Corporation may terminate Employee's
employment under this Agreement for cause at any time, and thereafter
FOSB's obligations under this Agreement shall cease and terminate, except
as to any other benefits in which she was vested or to which she was
otherwise entitled under Section 4, and the plans and programs
75
provided therein, by reason of employment through the Termination Date.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean:
(A) The willful failure by Employee to substantially perform
her duties with FOSB (other than any such failure resulting from the
Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written
demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the Board,
which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board
believes Employee has not substantially performed her duties;
(B) Any willful act of misconduct by Employee which is
materially injurious to FOSB monetarily or otherwise;
(C) A criminal conviction of Employee for any act involving
dishonesty, breach of trust or a violation of the banking or savings and
loan laws of the United States;
(D) A criminal conviction of Employee for the commission of
any felony;
(E) A breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit;
(F) A willful violation of any law, rule or regulation or
final cease and desist order;
(G) Incompetence, personal dishonesty or material breach of
any provision of this Agreement which would have a material adverse
effect on FOSB; or
(H) Suspension, removal, and/or prohibition (whether temporary
or permanent) from participating in the conduct of FOSB's affairs by a
notice served under Sections 8(e)(3), 8(e)(4) or Section 8(g)(1), of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(3),(4) and
(g)(1) or, if FOSB is in default as defined in section 3(x)(1) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1813(x)(1)], except to
the extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for
the continued operation of FOSB (i) by the commissioner, at the time the
FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of
FOSB under 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; or (ii) by the
commissioner at the time the office approves a supervisory merger to
resolve problems related to the operation of FOSB or when FOSB is
determined by the commissioner to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.
For purposes of this Subsection (5) (ii), no act, or failure to
act, on Employee's part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or
76
omitted to be done, by Employee not in good faith and without reasonable
belief that the action or omission was in the best interest of Successor
Corporation.
(iii) VOLUNTARY TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE. Employee may
voluntarily terminate her employment under this Agreement at any time by
giving at least ninety (90) days prior written notice to Successor
Corporation. In such event, Employee shall receive all compensation and
other benefits in which she was vested or to which she was otherwise
entitled under Section 4 through the date specified in such notice (the
"Termination Date"), in addition to all other benefits available to her,
if any, and to which she was vested under Successor Corporation's benefit
plans in effect on the Termination Date. Retirement by Employee shall
constitute a voluntary termination.
(iv) TERMINATION BY FOSB OTHER THAN DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY,
FOR CAUSE, OR VOLUNTARY TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE. If this Agreement is
terminated by FOSB for any reason other than death, disability, for cause
as set forth in Section 5(i) or (ii), or voluntary termination by
Employee then following the Termination Date:
(A) In lieu of any further salary payments to Employee for a
period subsequent to the Termination Date, Employee shall receive
Severance Pay in the amount of one (1) year's Base Salary (based on her
highest Base Salary within the three (3) years preceding her Date of
Termination) payable in accordance with Successor Corporation's normal
payroll practice and beginning with the first normal pay date following
her Date of Termination.
(B) In addition to such Base Salary payments, Employee shall
receive all other benefits in which she was vested or to which she was
otherwise entitled under Section 4 hereof and the plans and programs
provided therein by reason of employment through the Termination Date.
6. CANCELLATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS. Any and all commitments,
agreements and contracts, between FOSB and Employee, whether express,
implied, oral or in writing, specifically including but not limited to
that certain agreement between FOSB and Employee effective October 15,
1996, relating in any way to Employee's employment, including, but not
limited to, the right to any compensation (whether severance or
otherwise) and other benefits to which Employee may be entitled are
hereby cancelled. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements
relating to the terms and conditions of Employee's employment except that
nothing herein shall effect Employee's right to receive any vested
benefits that she is entitled to receive pursuant to the Plan upon the
termination of the First Ozaukee ESOP Plan, First Ozaukee Option Plan,
First Ozaukee Management Incentive Plan and First Ozaukee Money Purchase
Plan.
77
7. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(i) SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.
(A) No right or interest to or in any payments or benefits
under this agreement shall be assignable or transferable in any respect
by the Employee.
(B) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by Employee and her heirs, beneficiaries
and personal representatives and Successor Corporation and any successor
organization.
(ii) NONCOMPETITION PROVISION. Employee acknowledges that the
development of personal contacts and relationships is an essential
element of the savings and loan business, that FOSB has invested
considerable time and money in her development of such contacts and
relationships, that FOSB and surviving corporation could suffer
irreparable harm il she were to leave employment and solicit the business
of FOSB customers, and that it is reasonable to protect FOSB against
competitive activities by Employee. Employee covenants and agrees, in
recognition of the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual promises
contained herein, that in the event of a voluntary termination of
employment by Employee pursuant to Section 5 (iii), or upon expiration of
this Agreement as a result of Employee's election (but not as the result
of an election by FOSB) not to continue automatic annual renewals,
Employee shall not accept employment with any Significant Competitor of
FOSB for a period of six (6) months following such termination. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term Significant Competitor means any
financial institution including, but not limited to, any commercial bank,
savings bank, savings and loan association, credit union, or mortgage
banking corporation which, at the time of termination of Employee's
employment with FOSB, or during the period of this covenant not to
compete, has a home, branch or other office in any county in which FOSB
has an office or which has, during the twelve (12) months preceding
Employee's termination, originated, or which during the period of this
covenant not to compete originates, more than $500,000 in commercial or
mortgage loans secured by real property in any such county.
Employee agrees that the non-competition provisions set forth
herein are necessary for the protection of FOSB and are reasonably
limited as to (i) the scope of activities affected, (ii) their duration
and geographic scope, and (iii) their effect on Employee and the public.
In the event Employee violates the non-competition provisions set forth
herein, FOSB shall be entitled, in addition to its other legal remedies,
to enjoin the employment of Employee with any Significant Competitor for
the period set forth
78
herein. If Employee violates this covenant and FOSB brings legal action
for injunctive or other relief, FOSB shall not, as
a result of the time involved in obtaining such relief, be deprived of
the benefit of the full period of the restrictive covenant. Accordingly,
the covenant shall be deemed to have the duration specified herein,
computed from the date such relief is granted, but reduced by any period
between commencement of the period and the date of the first violation.
In addition to such other relief as may be awarded, if FOSB is the
prevailing party it shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable
costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred in enforcing its rights
hereunder.
