Article 5

General Limitations

5.1	Excess Parachute or Golden Parachute Payment. If the payments pursuant to this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Director has the right to receive from the Bank and the Company, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, or would be a prohibited golden parachute payment pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.2 and for which the appropriate federal banking agency has not given written consent to pay pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.4, the amount of each of the payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to result in (i) no portion of the payments under this Agreement being non-deductible to the Bank or the Company pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, and (ii) no adverse consequence to the Bank or the Company under or pursuant to such banking regulations. All amounts payable under this Agreement shall also be subject to limitations or prohibitions imposed by subsequent changes or amendments to the cited laws and regulations except to the extent that any amounts payable under this Agreement are grandfathered or otherwise exempt or excluded from the change or amendment.
5.2	Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Bank terminates the Director’s service for Cause. Termination of the Director’s service for “Cause” shall mean termination because of personal dishonesty, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order or material breach of any provision of the Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the Director’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Director not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Director’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank.
5.3	Removal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Director is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”).
5.4	Non-compete Provision. The Director shall forfeit any unpaid benefits under this Agreement if during the term of this Agreement, and before all benefits have been paid, the Director, directly or indirectly, either as an individual or as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, consultant or independent contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity (excluding an ownership interest of three percent (3%) or less in the stock of a publicly-traded company):
		(i)	becomes employed by, participates in, or becomes connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other similar financial institution if the Director’s responsibilities will include providing banking or other financial services within the twenty-five (25) miles of any office maintained by the Bank as of the date of the Director’s Separation from Service;

5

		(ii)	participates in any way in hiring or otherwise engaging, or assisting any other person or entity in hiring or otherwise engaging, on a temporary, part-time or permanent basis, any individual who was employed by the Bank as of the date of the Director’s Separation from Service;
		(iii)	assists, advises, or serves in any capacity, representative or otherwise, any third party in any action against the Bank or transaction involving the Bank;
		(iv)	sells, offers to sell, provides banking or other financial services, assists any other person in selling or providing banking or other financial services, or solicits or otherwise competes for, either directly or indirectly, any orders, contract, or accounts for services of a kind or nature like or substantially similar to the financial services performed or financial products sold by the Bank (the preceding hereinafter referred to as “Services”), to or from any person or entity from whom the Director or the Bank, to the knowledge of the Director, provided banking or other financial services, sold, offered to sell or solicited orders, contracts or accounts for Services during the three (3) year period immediately prior to the Director’s Separation from Service;
		(v)	divulges, discloses, or communicates to others in any manner whatsoever, any confidential information of the Bank, to the knowledge of the Director, including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or prospective customers of the Bank, as they may have existed from time to time, of work performed or services rendered for any customer, any method and/or procedures relating to projects or other work developed for the Bank, earnings or other information concerning the Bank. The restrictions contained in this subparagraph (v) apply to all information regarding the Bank, regardless of the source who provided or compiled such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all information referred to herein shall not be disclosed unless and until it becomes known to the general public from sources other than the Director.
	5.4.1	Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Director of any provision of these restrictions, the Director recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Bank, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Bank. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of these restrictions, the Director consents to the Bank’s entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Bank’s rights hereunder and preventing the Director from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. The Director expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that the Bank post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Director. The Director expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4 hereof are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded the Bank in Section 5.4 hereof are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Director’s service with the Bank, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.
	5.4.2	Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration.

6

	5.4.3	Change in Control. The non-compete provision detailed in Section 5.4 hereof shall not be enforceable or applicable following a Change in Control.
5.5	Suicide or Misstatement. No benefits shall be payable if the Director commits suicide within two years after the date of the Prior Agreement, or if the insurance company denies coverage (i) for material misstatements of fact made by the Director on any application for life insurance purchased by the Bank, or (ii) for any other reason.

Explanation: In each case, the benefit is based on the year-end amount listed immediately prior to date termination of service occurs. The benefits are payable as stated below:

(1)		Payments commence at termination of service and are payable to the director or the director’s beneficiary in equal monthly installments for 5 years.
(2)		The listed amounts represent the lump sum value at death. Distributions will be made as elected by the director (lump sum or annuitized over 60 months).
(3)		Change in Control annual benefit is equal to 30% of board fees. Board fees are escalated at a rate of 4.00% from the current annual fees until retirement.

Note: The Accrued Liability balance is based on the accruals required under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). It is based on a plan commencement date of April 1, 2004, the interest method of accounting, and a 6.00% discount rate, compounded monthly.
