WHEREAS, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, West Pointe Bancorp, Inc. and West Pointe
Bank And Trust Company entered into a Salary Continuation Agreement effective as
of January 1, 2003 ("Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the parties retained the right to amend the Agreement pursuant
to Article 7 thereof; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to revise the
definition of "Change of Control" and to clarify that no payments will be made
if such payment would contravene any applicable regulatory law, rule or
regulation;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Agreement is amended effective as of January 1,
2003 as follows:
1. Section 1.1.1 is deleted and replaced with the following:
1.1.1 "Change of Control" means:
(a) The consummation by either West Pointe Bancorp,
Inc. or West Pointe Bank And Trust Company of a
merger, consolidation or other reorganization if
the percentage of the voting common stock of the
surviving or resulting entity held or received by
all persons who were owners of common stock of West
Pointe Bancorp, Inc. or West Pointe Bank And Trust
Company, whichever is applicable, immediately prior
to such merger, consolidation or reorganization is
less than 50.1% of the total voting common stock of
the surviving or resulting entity outstanding
immediately after such merger, consolidation or
reorganization and after giving effect to any
additional issuance of voting common stock
contemplated by the plan for such merger,
consolidation or reorganization;
(b) At any time during a period of two consecutive
years, individuals who at the beginning of such
period constituted the Board of Directors of either
West Pointe Bancorp, Inc. or West Pointe Bank And
Trust Company shall cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the
election or the nomination for election by West
Pointe Bancorp, Inc.'s or West Pointe Bank And
Trust Company's
shareholders, whichever is applicable, of each new
director during such two year period was approved
by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors
of such entity then still in office who were
directors at the beginning of such two year period;
(c) The sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all
or substantially all of the assets (in one
transaction or in a series of related transactions)
of either West Pointe Bancorp, Inc. or West Pointe
Bank And Trust Company to another corporation or
entity that is not owned, directly or indirectly,
by either West Pointe Bancorp, Inc. or West Pointe

mean a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer
involving seventy percent (70%) or more of the fair
market value of the assets of such entity; or
(d) The liquidation or dissolution of either West
Pointe Bancorp, Inc. or West Pointe Bank And Trust
Company.
2. Section 5.1 is deleted and replaced with the following:
5.1 Parachute Payment. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, if the benefits otherwise payable under this
Agreement would cause an excise tax to be payable under the excess parachute
rules of Section 280G of the Code, such benefits shall be cut back to the
minimum extent necessary so that no excise tax will be payable; provided,
further, that no payment shall be made hereunder if such payment would
constitute a prohibited golden parachute payment or any other prohibited payment
under applicable regulatory law, rule or regulation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment on this
24th day of June, 2003.
