7. Outstanding Equity Awards.

(a) SARs.  Prior to the Effective Date, Xxxxx has been granted certain stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as set forth on Annex A attached hereto, some of which are fully vested and exercisable now and will continue to be so exercisable under their terms until 10 years following their respective grant dates.  The grant agreements for any SARs set forth on Annex A that are not vested and exercisable as of the Retirement Date, are hereby amended such that they shall be 100% vested on that date, if Xxxxx remains employed until then, and will continue to be so exercisable under their terms until 10 years following their respective grant dates.

10. Release.  In consideration for entering into this Agreement and for the consideration payable hereunder, Xxxxx agrees to sign on (and not before) the Retirement Date, or within 7 days thereafter, the Release set out at Annex B hereto and incorporated herein by reference.  If such Release is either not signed and delivered to the Bank in that time frame or is signed and Xxxxx exercises her right thereunder to revoke it within 7 days after it is signed, the amendments to her SAR and PSU grant agreements as provided for in Section 7 hereof shall not occur and shall be revoked.

11. Covenants. In exchange for this Agreement, Xxxxx agrees to adhere to the following covenants during her continued employment and after service termination for any reason.

(a) Not to Compete.  For a period of 24 months following the Retirement Date (the “Restricted Period”), Xxxxx will not, directly or indirectly, either for herself or for any other person, entity or company, solicit business or individual patronage for the purpose of providing services which are identical or similar to services then provided by the Bank within a radius of 50 miles from any of the Bank’s offices.

(b) Non-Solicitation of Customers or Employees.  Xxxxx agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Xxxxx shall not, without the express written consent of Bank, directly or indirectly, either for Xxxxx or for any other person, entity or company, (i) solicit the business enjoyed by the Bank with any person or business that was a Customer; or  (ii) approach or solicit any person who was employed at the Bank as of the date of Xxxxx’x service ended and with whom Xxxxx had material contact during Xxxxx’x period of service with the Bank, with a view to hiring such employee, persuading such employee to leave the employment of Bank, or actually hire an employee of the Bank for any other entity.  For purposes of this covenant, “Customer” shall mean any firm, individual, corporation or entity which used the facilities, products or services of the Bank during the 12-month period immediately preceding the voluntary or involuntary termination of Xxxxx’x service for the Companies.

3

(c) Cooperation with Litigation.  Xxxxx agrees to cooperate with Bank, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter (including after Xxxxx’x termination of employment hereunder for any reason), by making Xxxxx reasonably available to testify on behalf of Bank or any affiliated company in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to assist Bank or any affiliated company in any such action, suit, or proceeding by providing information to and meeting and consulting with Bank, any affiliated company, or any of their counsel or representatives upon reasonable request, provided that such cooperation and assistance shall not materially interfere with Xxxxx’x then-current professional activities and that Bank shall agree to reimburse Xxxxx for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Xxxxx in connection with providing such cooperation and assistance.

(d) Bank’s Confidential Information.  Xxxxx agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and at any time thereafter, she shall not directly or indirectly, without the express written consent of Bank, disclose, divulge, discuss, copy, or otherwise use or suffer to be used in any manner, in competition with or contrary to the interests of Bank or any affiliated companies, the customer lists, proprietary organizational methods, products, business plans or strategies, or other trade secrets of Bank or any affiliated companies, it being acknowledged by Xxxxx that all such information regarding the business of Bank and affiliated companies compiled or obtained by, or furnished to, Xxxxx while Xxxxx shall have been employed by or associated with Bank is confidential information and Bank’s exclusive property. Confidential information shall not include any information (A) which becomes publicly known through no fault or act of Xxxxx; (B) is lawfully received by Xxxxx from a third party after a cessation of her services without a similar restriction regarding confidentiality and use and without a breach of this Agreement or (C) which is independently developed by Xxxxx and entirely unrelated to the business of providing banking or banking related services.

(e) Advice to Future Employers.  If Xxxxx, in the future, seeks or is offered employment or board service by any other company, firm, or person, she shall provide a copy of this Section 11 to the business prior to accepting employment or board service.

(f) Remedies.  In the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Xxxxx of any provision of Section 11 of this Agreement, the Bank shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Xxxxx from the commission of such breach, and to recover its attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses related to the breach or threatened breach.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of money damages.  These covenants and disclosures shall each be construed as independent of any other provisions in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Xxxxx against the Bank, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Bank of such covenants and agreements.

(g) Reasonableness of Restrictions.  Xxxxx has carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions upon her and the rights and remedies conferred upon Bank under the provisions of this Section 11, and hereby acknowledges and agrees that the same are reasonable in time and territory, are designed to prevent disruption of relationships which are valuable to Bank, do not stifle the inherent skill and experience of Xxxxx, would not operate as a bar to Xxxxx’x sole means of support, are fully required to protect the legitimate interests of Bank, and do not confer a benefit upon Bank disproportionate to the detriment to Xxxxx which is caused by the provisions of this Section 11.

12. Severable Provisions.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and, if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement and any partially unenforceable provision of this Agreement, to the extent enforceable in any jurisdiction, shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable hereunder.  If any provision of this Agreement, including any provision of Section 11, is invalid in part or in whole, it will be deemed to have been amended, whether as to time, area covered or otherwise, as and to the extent required for its validity under applicable law and, as so amended, will be enforceable.

13. Notices.  Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if sent by registered or certified mail to Xxxxx at the last address she has filed in writing with the Bank or, in the case of the Bank, at its principal executive offices.

14. Governing Law.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Companies and Xxxxx have entered into this Agreement on the Effective Date.

2.1 General Release and Waiver of All Claims and Potential Claims.  Xxxxx hereby releases all claims and potential claims, known and unknown, against the Company and its current and/or former employees that are releasable by law.  More specifically, for and on behalf of herself and her family, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, Xxxxx hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases the Company and its respective predecessors, successors, and all their past, present or future assigns, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, insurers, attorneys, divisions, subdivisions and affiliated entities, together with their respective current and former officers, directors, shareholders, fiduciaries, administrators, trustees, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, insurers and/or representatives, and their respective predecessors, successors and assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, and any and all other affiliated persons, firms, plans or corporations which may have an interest by or through them (collectively “Releasees”), both jointly and individually, from any and all claims, actions, arbitrations, and lawsuits, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown to Xxxxx, accrued or unaccrued, which she ever had, now has or may have had against Releasees since the beginning of time through the date of execution of this Release.  This general release and waiver of claims includes, but is not limited to, any and all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, debts, complaints, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages and expenses that are releasable by law (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and costs actually incurred or to be incurred) of any nature or description whatsoever, in law or equity, whether known or unknown, in connection with or arising out of her employment with the Company and/or termination of said employment.  Claims being released include, without limitation, any and all employment-related claims that are releasable by law arising under federal, state or local statutes, ordinances, resolutions, regulations or constitutional provisions prohibiting discrimination in employment on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, age, disability and/or veterans’ status, including, but not limited to, claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1981a, 1983 and 1985, the Civil Rights Act of Kentucky, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, 18 U.S.C. §§  1514A, et seq., the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Executive Order 11246, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001 et seq., the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201, et seq., the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 2601, et seq., the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000ff et seq., the minimum wage act, wage payment law and wage discrimination statutes and workers compensation statutes and similar state laws of Kentucky, in all instances as amended.  This general release and waiver of claims also includes, but is not limited to, any and all claims for unpaid benefits or entitlements asserted under any plan, policy, benefits offering or program (except as otherwise required by law), any and all contract or tort claims, including, without limitation, claims of wrongful discharge, assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and/or defamation against Releasees.

Nothing in this Section 2.1, Section 2.2, or any other provision in the remainder of this Release shall be construed to prevent Xxxxx from (i) making a claim for indemnity under law or governance documents providing for indemnity or insurance against claims for acts or omissions in her capacity acting as an officer or director of the Company; or (ii) talking to, cooperating in any investigation by, and/or filing a charge with a government agency, including but not limited to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”), any similar state or local fair employment practices administrative agency, or the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  However, by signing this Release, Xxxxx hereby waives the right to recover from Releasees any relief from any charge or claim pursued or otherwise prosecuted by her, or by persons or entities like the EEOC acting by or through her, including, without limitation, the right to attorneys’ fees, costs, and any other relief, whether legal or equitable, sought in such charge, claim, or other proceeding.
