3.	Subject to Paragraph 24 of this Agreement, upon the closing of Bank of Montreal’s purchase of FNB, Xxxxxx shall pay you a sign-on bonus equal to $_________ (the “Sign-on Bonus”).  Subject to Paragraph 24 of this Agreement, during the period of your employment, Xxxxxx shall pay you a bonus equal to __________ Dollars ($______) (the “Bonus Amount”).  The Sign-on Bonus and the Bonus Amount shall be subject to federal and state income taxes.  The Bonus Amount shall be payable in seven installments as follows:  (a) 10% three months after the Hire Date; (b) 15% nine months after the Hire Date; (c) 15% 15 months after the Hire Date: (d) 15% 21 months after the Hire Date; (e) 15% 27 months after the Hire Date; (f) 15% 33 months after the Hire Date; and (g) 15% 36 months after the Hire Date.

4.	You shall be eligible to participate in all other employee benefit plans of Xxxxxx, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions, and overall administration of such plans and arrangements applicable to similarly situated Xxxxxx executives.

This Agreement shall terminate immediately if you are discharged for “cause,” which is defined for purposes of this Agreement as (a) your conviction of a felony or any crime involving fraud or dishonesty or similar crimes, (b) your disqualification for active employment under the directive of any bank regulatory agency or because you are ineligible for bonding by Xxxxxx’ bonding agent, (c) your material failure or refusal to perform the material duties and responsibilities of your position or any material breach of your obligations under this Agreement, provided that such failure, refusal or breach has continued more than 10 business days after Xxxxxx has given you written notice thereof and of its intent to terminate your employment because of such failure, refusal or breach.
10.	In the event of termination of this Agreement under Paragraphs 7 or 8, or if Xxxxxx terminates this Agreement for a reason other than under Paragraph 9, you, or in the event of your death, your estate, shall be entitled to receive your unpaid salary, earned but unused vacation and your benefits under all qualified and nonqualified retirement, pension, profit-sharing and similar plans in accordance with the terms of such plans, to the extent such salary, earned but unused vacation and benefits have accrued to the date of termination.  Xxxxxx shall also be obligated to pay you, or in the event of your death, to your estate, in a lump sum within thirty (30) calendar days after termination the unpaid portion of the Bonus Amount.
	In the event of termination of this Agreement, including expiration, you also will be entitled to participate in, and be covered under, (which participation and coverage may include benefits for your spouse and qualified dependents) the health benefit plan of Xxxxxx, or its successor(s), until you become eligible for Medicare, provided that you pay 100% of the group plan premium cost incurred by Xxxxxx (or its successor(s)) for the coverage level you elect.  In the event of your death prior to your eligibility for Medicare, your spouse and dependents, if any, may continue their coverage under the health benefit plan of Xxxxxx until your spouse’s eligibility for Medicare, provided that they pay 100% of the group plan premium cost incurred by Xxxxxx.  The first 18 months, 29 months, or 36 months, as applicable, of continued coverage as described in this paragraph shall be considered COBRA coverage, as described in Title I, Part 6 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.  Once you or your spouse and dependents stop paying 100% of the group plan premium cost for the health benefit plan of Xxxxxx, you or your spouse and dependents will not be entitled to reenter such plan.  Xxxxxx makes no commitment or guarantee that, following your separation from employment from Xxxxxx, the benefits paid to you or your spouse or dependents or on your or their behalf from the health benefit plan of Xxxxxx will be excludable from your or their gross income for federal or state income tax purposes.

In the event Xxxxxx terminates this Agreement under Paragraph 9 or if you terminate your employment with Xxxxxx other than under Paragraph 8, you shall be entitled to receive your unpaid salary, earned but unused vacation, and your benefits under all qualified and nonqualified retirement, pension, profit-sharing and similar plans in accordance with the terms of such plans, to the extent such salary, earned but unused vacation, and benefits have accrued to the date of termination.  All other obligations of Xxxxxx under this Agreement shall cease on the date of termination and any unpaid portion of the Bonus Amount shall be forfeited.

13.

14.	You agree that during the term of your employment with Xxxxxx and for one (1) year following the termination of your employment, for any reason, you will not: (1) solicit, encourage or induce, either directly or indirectly, any customer of Xxxxxx to limit its relationship with Xxxxxx or its affiliates/subsidiaries; (2) assist, advise or counsel another financial institution, either directly or indirectly, to provide banking services to any customer of Xxxxxx; 3) provide or offer, either directly or indirectly, any banking services to any customer of Xxxxxx unless you are providing services for Xxxxxx; (4) disclose or make known to any other person or entity the names, addresses or telephone numbers of customers of Xxxxxx; or (5) call on or solicit for employment, either for yourself or for any other person or entity, any of Xxxxxx’ employees.  This restriction concerns customers of Xxxxxx whom you learned of or developed leads regarding during your employment with Xxxxxx, or whom you serviced, had contact with, had responsibility for or had access to confidential information regarding during your employment with Xxxxxx.
15.

16.	The existence of any cause of action you may have against Xxxxxx shall not constitute a defense to Xxxxxx’ enforcement of Paragraph 14 and Paragraph 15 of this Agreement .
	You agree that the duration and scope of the restrictive covenant provisions of Paragraph 14 and Paragraph 15 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to the effective conduct of Xxxxxx’ business and that, if any portion of the restrictive covenants are held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy by any court or tribunal, the restrictive covenants shall be enforced against you for a shorter period of time as is determined by the tribunal to be reasonable, non-arbitrary, and not against public policy.
17.	In the event it should become necessary for Xxxxxx or you to retain the services of an attorney to enforce the terms of Paragraph 14 and Paragraph 15 of this Agreement or the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, and the issue is decided by a court of law, the unprevailing party agrees to pay the costs of any legal proceedings and the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees including any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred as a result of appellate proceedings (regardless of the party initiating the appeal).
18.	The parties agree that any and all claims arising out of or relating to your employment or termination of employment or arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement shall be decided by final and binding arbitration, including without limitation any and all claims for wrongful discharge or age or other employment discrimination and any and all claims of violation of any federal, state or local statute, ordinance, rule or regulation provided, however the parties do not agree to arbitrate claims for worker’s compensation benefits; claims for unemployment compensation; claims based upon any employee pension, insurance or similar plan; and any claims under Paragraphs 14 and 15 of this Agreement.  Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
19.	You may not assign, pledge or encumber this Agreement or any other interest herein.
20.	This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.  No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by estoppel.  No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically waived.
21.	This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between you and Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx’ affiliates as to your employment relationship.  No amendment or modification shall be effective unless reduced to writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the party to be bound thereby.  If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.
22.	This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.  It is agreed that both parties participated in the negotiation and establishment of the terms set forth herein.
23.	You hereby agree that all prior written and oral agreements between you and FNB or First National Bank of Joliet including but not limited to, the Change of Control Agreement dated October 12, 2000 and any severance plans or agreements, are terminated upon the closing of Bank of Montreal’s acquisition of FNB and you waive any and all rights and benefits under those agreements.
24.	You agree that no portion of any payment under this Agreement, including the Sign-on Bonus and the Bonus Amount, or payments to or for your benefit under any other agreement or plan, shall be deemed to be an “Excess Parachute Payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of l986, as amended (the “Code”).  It is agreed that the present value of the Sign-on Bonus and the Bonus Amount and any payments to you or for your benefit which are in the nature of compensation, receipt of which are contingent on Bank of Montreal’s acquisition of FNB and to which Section 280G of the Code applies (in the aggregate “Total Payments”) shall not exceed an amount equal to one dollar less than the maximum amount which Xxxxxx may pay without loss of deduction under Section 280G of the Code.  Present value for purposes of this Agreement shall be calculated in accordance with Section 280G of the Code. Within thirty (30) days of Xxxxxx’x notice to you that Xxxxxx believes that there is a payment or benefit due to you which will result in an Excess Parachute Payment as defined in Section 280G of the Code, you and Xxxxxx, at Xxxxxx’x expense, shall obtain the opinion of legal counsel and certified public accountants as you may choose (notwithstanding the fact that such persons have acted or may also be acting as legal counsel or certified public accountants for Xxxxxx) determining whether or not such payments are Excess Parachute Payments under Section 280G the Code.  In the event that such opinions determine that there would be such an Excess Parachute Payment, the payment hereunder or any other payment determined by such counsel and certified public accountants to be includable in Total Payments shall be modified, reduced, or eliminated as specified by you in writing delivered to Xxxxxx within 15 days of your receipt of such opinions or, if you fail to so notify Xxxxxx, then Xxxxxx shall make such determination so that there will be no Excess Parachute Payment.  The provisions of this Paragraph 24 shall be based upon the presumption that the compensation and benefits earned by you pursuant to Xxxxxx’x compensation program which would have been paid in any event, are reasonable compensation for services rendered, even though the timing of such payments relate to a change in control of FNB; provided, however, that in the event legal counsel and the certified public accountant so requests in connection with the opinion required by this Paragraph 24, you and Xxxxxx shall obtain, at Xxxxxx’x expense, and the legal counsel may rely on in providing the opinion, the advice of a firm of recognized executive compensation consultants as to the reasonableness of any item of compensation to be received by you.  In the event that the provisions of Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code  are repealed without succession, this Paragraph 24 shall be of no further force or effect.

We are delighted to have you join the Xxxxxx family.  Please signify your agreement with the terms of this letter by signing below.

Sincerely yours,

Xxxxxx Bank
