D. NONINTERFERENCE
12. The Executive covenants and agrees that, for a period of one year subsequent to the termination of this Agreement, whether such termination occurs at the insistence of the Bank or the Executive, the Executive shall not recruit, hire, or attempt to recruit or hire, directly or by assisting others, any other employees of the Bank, nor shall the Executive contact or communicate with any other employees of the Bank for the purpose of inducing other employees to terminate their employment with the Bank. For purposes of this covenant, "other employees" shall refer to employees who are still actively employed by or were employed by the Bank within the prior year, or doing business with, the Bank at the time of the attempted recruiting or hiring.
13. In his position of employment, the Executive will be exposed to confidential information and trade secrets (hereafter "Proprietary Information") pertaining to, or arising from, the business of the Bank, and its affiliates (if any). The Executive hereby agrees and acknowledges that such Proprietary Information is unique and valuable to the Bank's business and that the Bank would suffer irreparable injury if this information were publicly disclosed. Therefore, the Executive agrees to keep in strict secrecy and confidence, both during and after the period of his employment, any and all Proprietary Information which the Executive acquires, or to which the Executive has access, during employment by the Bank, that has not been publicly disclosed by the Bank. The Proprietary Information covered by this Agreement shall include, but shall not be limited to, information relating to any financial information, processes, pricing, plans, devices, compilations of information, technical data, mailing lists, methods of distributing, names of suppliers, and customers, arrangements entered into with suppliers, vendors, and customers, marketing strategies, and other trade secrets of the Bank.
The provisions and agreements entered into herein shall survive the term of the Employee's employment to the extent reasonably necessary to accomplish their purpose in protecting the interests of the Bank in any Proprietary Information disclosed to, or learned by the Executive while employed.
3
14. The Executive expressly represents that he has no agreements with, or obligations to, any party which conflict, or may conflict, with the interests of the Bank or with the Executive's duties as an employee of the Bank.
15. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in exchange for the execution of the noninterference agreement set forth above, the Executive will receive substantial, valuable consideration including: (i) confidential trade secret and proprietary information relating to the identity and special needs of the Bank's current and prospective customers, the Bank's current and prospective services, the Bank's business projections and market studies, the Bank's business plans and strategies, the Bank's studies and information concerning special services unique to the Bank; (ii) employment; and (iii) compensation and benefits as described in this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that this constitutes fair and adequate consideration for the execution of the noninterference agreement set forth above.
16. In consideration for the above-recited valuable consideration, the Executive understands and agrees that during the continuation of this Agreement and for a period of one year following the termination of this Agreement by either party, for whatever reason (both of which periods shall collectively be referred to as the ("Restricted Period")), the Executive will not be or become engaged in any way (directly or indirectly), as an individual proprietor, beneficiary, trustee, owner, partner, stockholder, officer, director, Executive, investor, lender, sales representative, or in any other capacity, whatsoever, in any activity or endeavor which competes or conflicts with the Bank's business or the business of the Bank or the business of any of their respective affiliates (if any), as such business has been conducted during the years of the Executive's employment with the Bank, within a geographic range of thirty (30) miles of any office of the Bank, or its affiliates (if any), whether such office is now existing or hereinafter established during the term of this Agreement. It is the parties' desire that these restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law.
17. It is hereby further agreed by the parties that if the noncompetition covenants contained in this NONINTERFERENCE section should be held by any court or other constituted legal authority to be void or otherwise unenforceable in any particular area or jurisdiction despite those modifications outlined above, then the parties shall consider this Agreement to be amended and modified in that particular area or jurisdiction so as to eliminate therefrom any part of or the entire covenant that the particular area or jurisdiction finds void or otherwise unenforceable, but as to all other areas and jurisdictions covered by this Agreement, the noncompetition covenants contained herein shall remain in full force and effect as originally written.
18. If Executive is found to have violated any of the provisions of this Section D, Executive agrees that the restrictive period of each covenant so violated shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of violation by him. Nothing in this Paragraph shall reduce or abrogate the Executive's obligations under any other section this Agreement.
E. REMEDIES
19. In the event that the Executive violates any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement relating to NONINTERFERENCE, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may suffer immediate and irreparable harm. Consequently, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Bank shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief, either by temporary or permanent injunction, to prevent such a violation.

F. TERMINATION
20. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Board of Directors of the Bank reserves the right to terminate this Executive Agreement, for any reason, by providing the Executive with thirty (30) days' written notice of the termination, delivered in person, or by certified U.S. mail to the Executive's last known address reflected in the Bank's personnel records. Such notice shall be effective upon personal delivery or three days after mailing by certified mail. However, if the Agreement is terminated at the Bank's insistence without Good Cause, as defined in this Agreement, the Bank covenants and agrees to provide the Executive with the severance set forth in paragraph twenty-nine (29) of this Agreement.
21. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may terminate this Agreement at any time, without notice, for any "Good Cause" defined as the following:
- a.
- In
the event the Executive violates any provision of this Agreement or is grossly negligent in the performance of his duties hereunder in the reasonable judgment of the Board, and
fails to cure such violation or the effects of such gross negligence within a reasonable period after written notice to the Executive by the Bank specifying in reasonable detail the alleged violation;
- b.
- The
determination of the Board of Directors of the Bank in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, that (i) the Executive has failed to follow the policies adopted by the Board
of Directors and fails to cure such breach or violation within a reasonable period after written notice to Executive by the Bank specifying in reasonable detail the alleged breach or violation or
(ii) that Executive has engaged in such actions or omissions that would constitute unsafe or unsound banking practices;
- c.
- In
the event the Executive is convicted of a felony, or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;
- d.
- In
the event the Executive engages in gross misconduct in the course and scope of his employment with the Bank including indecency, immorality, gross insubordination, dishonesty,
unlawful harassment, use of illegal drugs, or fighting;
- e.
- In
the event the Bank determines, in good faith, that the Executive's job performance is substantially unsatisfactory, and has given the Executive notice of such determination and a
reasonable opportunity to correct such unsatisfactory performance; or
- f.
- In the event the Executive is prohibited from engaging in the business of banking by any governmental regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the Bank.
22. The Bank acknowledges and agrees that the Executive reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, by providing thirty (30) days written notice, by personal delivery or certified United States mail, to the Bank at its principal business address of the Executive's intention to terminate this Agreement. Such notice shall be effective upon personal delivery or three days after mailing by certified mail.
23. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of the Executive's death, this Agreement will terminate immediately, without notice, on the date of the Executive's death. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of his death, the Bank will pay to the Executive's estate all compensation due and owing through the date of the Executive's death.
5
24. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement will terminate immediately, without notice, in the event the Executive becomes physically or mentally disabled, as defined by 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(g)(1), and cannot perform the essential functions of his position, with or without reasonable accommodation for the period designated by the Executive's disability insurance after which disability payments will begin.
25. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of termination of this Agreement, for whatever reason, whether at the insistence of the Executive or at the insistence of the Bank, the Executive will return to the Bank within seventy-two (72) hours of the time when notice of termination is communicated by either party, or sooner if requested by the Bank, any and all equipment, literature, documents, data, information, order forms, memoranda, correspondence, customer and prospective customer lists, customer's orders, records, cards or notes acquired, compiled or coming into the Executive's knowledge, possession or control in connection with his activities as an employee of the Bank, as well as all machines, parts, equipment or other materials received from the Bank or from any of its customers, agents or suppliers, in connection with such activities.
G. CHANGE IN CONTROL
26. The parties acknowledge that the Executive has agreed to assume the position of President and Chief Executive Officer and to enter into this Agreement based on his confidence in the current owners of the Bank and the direction of the Bank provided by the current Board of Directors. If the Bank should undergo a "Change of Control," as defined below, then the Executive, at his option, may notify the Bank at any time within sixty (60) days following such Change of Control, by personal delivery or certified U.S. mail, that he intends to terminate this Agreement based upon the Change of Control. Notice of termination shall be effective upon delivery or three (3) days after mailing by certified mail.
27. In the event that the Executive elects to terminate this Agreement based upon a Change in Control, the Bank agrees and acknowledges that the Executive (or his Beneficiaries, if applicable) shall have the right to receive a cash lump sum payment equal to 299% of his Base Amount as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code") paid by the Bank upon a "Triggering Termination," which shall mean the Executive's termination of employment with the Bank on or within two (2) years after a Change in Control. Payment shall be made by the Bank within thirty (30) days of the Triggering Termination date. In the event that the Executive is entitled to any payment under Section H, no payment shall be due under this Section G.
In the event that any compensation payable under this Agreement is determined to be a "parachute payment" subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any successor provision (the "Excise Tax"), the Bank agrees to pay to the Executive an additional sum (the "Gross Up") in an amount such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after receiving both the payment and the Gross Up and after paying: (i) any Excise Tax on the payment and the Gross Up, and (ii) any federal, state, and local income taxes on the Gross Up, is equal to the amount of the payment.
6
For purposes of determining the Gross Up, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal, state, and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in his filing status for the calendar year in which the payment is to be made based upon the Executive's domicile on the date of the event that triggers the Excise Tax. The determination of whether such Excise Tax is payable and the amount of such Excise Tax shall be based upon the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Bank, subject to the reasonable approval of the Executive. If such opinion is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service, then appropriate adjustments shall be calculated (with additional Gross Up determined based on the principals outlined in the previous paragraph, if applicable) by such tax counsel based upon the final amount of Excise Tax so determined together with any applicable penalties and interest. The final amount shall be paid, if applicable, within thirty (30) days after such calculations are completed, but in no event later than April 1st of the year following the event that triggers the Excise Tax. Such compensation shall be payable in equal disbursements in accordance with the Bank's ordinary payroll policies and procedures. The Executive will also continue to receive his automobile allowance provided by the Bank for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of termination.
28. As used in this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred in any of the following instances:
- a.
- the
Company or the Bank is merged or consolidated with another corporation and as a result of such merger or consolidation less than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding voting
securities (on a fully diluted basis) of the surviving or resulting corporation are owned in the aggregate by the former shareholders of the Company;
- b.
- the
Company or the Bank sells all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation;
- c.
- (i) any person or group within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Securities Exchange Act"), including without limitation existing shareholders of the Company, acquires or otherwise becomes the owner of twenty (20%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (ii) if such Person causes, encourages or otherwise provides for an employee, officer, representative or agent of such Person to be elected to the Board.; or
- d.
- During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who, at the beginning of such period constituted the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of such Board of Directors, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, of each new Director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors still in office who were Directors at the beginning of the period; provided, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Board of Directors of the Company at the beginning of such period if such individual initially assumed office as the result of either an actual or threatened election contest or proxy contest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if a Person (as defined by the Securities Exchange Act) becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities solely as a result of an acquisition by the Company of its own voting securities which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person.
7
Furthermore, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Executive's employment is terminated and he reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention of taking steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control and who effects a Change in Control, or such termination otherwise occurred in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control which actually occurs, then for all purposes hereof, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred on the day immediately prior to the date of such termination of his employment.
X. XXXXXXXXX
29. The Executive and the Bank acknowledge and agree that, if the Bank terminates Executive's employment at any time prior to a Change in Control for any reason other than Good Cause, as defined in this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to severance pay to be paid in accordance with the normal payroll procedure of the Bank. Such severance pay shall be equal to the base salary that would have been due the Executive had he remained employed for the remaining term of this Agreement, but in no event less than one year's base salary. In the event that the Executive is entitled to any payment under Section G, no payment shall be due under this Section H.
I. SEVERABILITY
30. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that each covenant and/or provision of this Agreement shall be enforceable independently of every other covenant and/or provision. Furthermore, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in the event any covenant and/or provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable for any reason, the remaining covenants and/or provisions will remain effective, binding and enforceable.
J. WAIVER
31. The parties acknowledge and agree that the failure of either to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that particular provision, or of any other provisions of this Agreement.
K. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
32. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement may be assigned by the Bank to any successor-in-interest and shall inure to the benefit of, and be fully enforceable by, any successor and/or assignee; and this Agreement will be fully binding upon, and may be enforced by the Executive against, any successor and/or assignee of the Bank.
33. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that his obligations, duties and responsibilities under this Agreement are personal and shall not be assignable, and that this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Executive only. In the event of the Executive's death, this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Executive's estate, executors and/or legal representatives, only to the extent provided herein.
L. CHOICE OF LAW
34. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the law of the state of Texas will govern the validity, interpretation and effect of this Agreement, and any other dispute relating to, or arising out of, the employment relationship between the Bank and the Executive.
8

36. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the covenants and/or provisions of this Agreement may not be modified by any subsequent agreement unless the modifying agreement; (i) is in writing; (ii) contains an express provision referencing this Agreement; (iii) is signed by the Executive; and (iv) is approved by a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors of the Bank.

37. During the term of this Agreement, the Company and the Bank shall indemnify the Executive against all judgments, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees) relating to his employment by the Bank to the fullest extent permissible under the law, including, without limitation, the National Banking Act, Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act, the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and the Bank's Articles of Association, and may purchase such indemnification insurance as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.
O. ARBITRATION
38. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or breach thereof, or arising out of or relating in any way to the employment of the Executive or the termination thereof, shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the Employment Dispute Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In reaching his or her decision, the arbitrator shall have no authority to ignore, change, modify, add to or delete from any provision of this Agreement, but instead is limited to interpreting this Agreement.
