THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 29^th day of June, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Community First Bank & Trust, a bank organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee (the “Bank”), Community First, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the “Company” and together with the Bank, the “Employer”) and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (the “Executive”).

BACKGROUND:

WHEREAS, the Bank and the Company desire to employ the Executive as its Chief Executive Officer on the terms and conditions set forth below and Executive desires to accept such employment subject to such terms and conditions.

AGREEMENT:

In consideration of the above premises and the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, effective as of the Effective Date, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Duties.

1.1 Positions. The Executive shall be employed as Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and the Company and, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors, shall perform and discharge faithfully the duties and responsibilities which reasonably may be assigned to the Executive from time to time in connection with the conduct of the businesses. The duties and responsibilities of the Executive shall be commensurate with similar positions at other community banks of a similar size to the Bank. The Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Board of Directors of the Company.

1.2 Full-Time Status. In addition to the duties and responsibilities specifically assigned to the Executive pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof, the Executive shall:

(a) subject to Section 1.3, devote substantially all of the Executive’s time, energy and skill during regular business hours to the performance of the duties of the Executive’s employment (reasonable vacations and reasonable absences due to illness excepted) and faithfully and industriously perform such duties; and

(b) diligently follow and implement all reasonable and lawful management policies and decisions communicated to the Executive by either the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank; and

(c) timely prepare and forward to the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank all reports and accountings as reasonably may be requested of the Executive.

1.3 Permitted Activities. The Executive shall devote substantially all of the Executive’s entire business time, attention and energies to the business of the Employer and shall

not during the Term be engaged (whether or not during normal business hours) in any other significant business or professional activity, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage, but as long as the following activities do not interfere with the Executive’s obligations to the Employer, this shall not be construed as preventing the Executive from:

(a) investing the Executive’s personal assets in any manner which will not require any services on the part of the Executive in the operation or affairs of the entity into which the Executive has invested (including service on the board of directors or other governing body of such entity) and in which the Executive’s participation is solely that of an investor; provided that such investment activity following the Effective Date shall not result in his owning beneficially at any time one percent (1%) or more of the equity securities of any Competing Business; or

(b) participating in civic and professional affairs and organizations and conferences, preparing or publishing papers or books, teaching or serving on the board of directors of an entity so long as any such participation does not interfere with the ability of the Executive to effectively discharge his duties hereunder; provided further, that the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank may direct the Executive in writing to resign from any such organization and/or cease such activities should the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank reasonably conclude that continued membership and/or activities of the type identified would not be in the best interests of the Employer.

2. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect for the Term. If the Agreement is in effect at the end of the Initial Term, the Term shall be renewed automatically for successive twelve-month periods unless and until one party gives written notice to the others of its or his intent not to extend this Agreement with such written notice to be given not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any such twelve-month period. In the event such notice of non-extension is properly given, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the remaining Term then in effect, subject to earlier termination in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4 hereof. In the event that either party provides timely notice of non-renewal of the Agreement, but the Executive continues to provide services to the Employer as an employee following the expiration of the then Term, such post-expiration employment shall be deemed to be performed on an “at-will” basis and either party may thereafter terminate such employment with or without notice and for any or no reason and without any obligations determined by reference to this Agreement.

3. Compensation. The Employer shall pay the Executive the following during the Term, except as otherwise provided below:

3.1 Annual Base Salary. The Executive shall be compensated at an annual base rate of not less than Two Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($265,225.00) (the “Annual Base Salary”). The Executive’s Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors at least annually, but not more than fourteen (14) months from the immediately preceding review, for increases, as determined by the Board of Directors based on its evaluation of the Executive’s performance. The Executive’s Annual Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll practices.

3.2 Annual Incentive Compensation. Unless otherwise prohibited by banking regulation, rule or directive, the Executive shall be eligible to receive annual bonus compensation payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, if any, as may be determined by, and based on performance measures established by, the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company (the “Committee”) consistent with the Employer’s strategic planning process, pursuant to any incentive compensation program as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company, based on recommendations by the Committee (an “Annual Bonus”). Any Annual Bonus earned shall be payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank, in the year following the year in which the bonus is earned in accordance with the Employer’s normal practices for the payment of short-term incentives. The Employer shall use its best efforts to pay the Annual Bonus by June 30th of the year following the year in which the Annual Bonus was earned. To be entitled to any payment of incentive compensation from the Employer, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank, the Executive must be employed by the Employer on the last day of the applicable performance period and must continue to be employed on the date that such payment would be payable.

3.3 Long Term Equity Incentive. The Executive shall be entitled to such long-term equity incentive awards in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank (or any committee thereof) based upon and/or subject to any performance measures as may be established by the granting entity. The granting of any and all forms for long-term equity compensation to the Executive is subject to applicable restrictions imposed by federal and state banking laws. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company shall grant to the Executive a one-time special equity grant of 21,052 shares of restricted stock that shall vest in pro rata increments over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of this Agreement so long as the Executive remains an employee of the Company or the Bank during such period.

3.4 Business and Professional Education Expenses; Memberships. In accordance with the reimbursement policies from time to time adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company and consistent with the annual budget approved for the period during which an expense was incurred, the Employer specifically agrees to reimburse the Executive for reasonable and necessary business expenses, including client development activities and cellular telephone use with e-mail service, incurred by the Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Executive shall, as a condition of any such reimbursement, submit verification of the nature and amount of such expenses in accordance with such reimbursement policies and in sufficient detail to comply with rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Treasury Department. Amounts exceeding the Employer’s budget shall require the prior approval of the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof). In addition, the Employer shall reimburse the Executive for (a) any membership dues at a private club in the Area as may be selected by the Executive and approved in advance by the Board of Directors; and (b) membership in professional and civic organizations to the extent such activities are consistent with the

Employer’s strategic objectives, subject in each instance to advance approval by the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Executive acknowledges that the Employer makes no representation with respect to the taxability or non-taxability of the benefits provided under this Section 3.4.

3.5 Automobile Allowance. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive $1,000 per month for an automobile allowance.

3.6 Paid Leave. The Executive shall be entitled to no less than four (4) weeks of paid leave per calendar year, prorated for partial calendar years. The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall apply notwithstanding any less generous paid leave policy then maintained by the Employer, but the use of Executive’s paid leave shall otherwise be determined in accordance with the Employer’s paid leave policy as in effect from time to time.

3.7 Benefits. In addition to the benefits specifically described in this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to such benefits as may be available from time to time to similarly situated employees of the Employer. All such benefits shall be awarded and administered in accordance with the Employer’s standard policies and practices.

3.8 Withholding. The Bank may deduct from each payment of compensation hereunder all amounts required to be deducted and withheld in accordance with applicable federal and state income, FICA and other withholding requirements.

3.9 Obligations of the Employer. The Company and the Bank shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of the Bank, the Company or the Employer under this Agreement.

3.10 Reimbursement of Expenses; In-Kind Benefits. All expenses eligible for reimbursements described in this Agreement must be incurred by the Executive during the Term of this Agreement to be eligible for reimbursement. All in-kind benefits described in this Section 3 must be provided by the Employer during the Term of this Agreement. The amount of reimbursable expenses incurred, and the amount of in-kind benefits provided, in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, in any other taxable year. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits described in this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) to the extent applicable, including the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, and the in-kind benefits provided, during any year pursuant to this Agreement shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other year. Each category of reimbursement shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any such reimbursement be paid after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. Neither rights to reimbursement nor in-kind benefits are subject to liquidation or exchanges for other benefits.

3.11 Clawback of Incentive Compensation. The Executive agrees to repay any incentive compensation previously paid or otherwise made available to the Executive under this Agreement or otherwise that is subject to recovery under any applicable law (including any rule of any exchange or service through which the securities of the Company are then traded), including, but not limited to, the following circumstances:

(a) where such compensation was in excess of what should have been paid or made available because the determination of the amount due was based, in whole or in part, on materially inaccurate financial information of the Employer;

(b) where such compensation constitutes “excessive compensation” within the meaning of 12 C.F.R. Part 30, Appendix A;

(c) where the Executive has committed, is substantially responsible for, or has violated, the respective acts, omissions, conditions, or offenses outlined under 12 C.F.R. Section 359.4(a)(4); and

(d) if the Bank becomes, and for so long as the Bank remains, subject to the provisions of 12 U.S.C. Section 1831o(f), where such compensation exceeds the restrictions imposed on the senior executive officers of such an institution.

The Executive agrees to return promptly any such compensation identified by the Employer by written notice provided pursuant to Section 12. If the Executive fails to return such compensation promptly, the Executive agrees that the amount of such compensation may be deducted from any and all other compensation owed to the Executive by the Employer, but only to the extent permitted and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. If the Executive is then employed by the Bank or the Company, the Executive acknowledges that the Bank and the Company, as applicable, may take appropriate disciplinary action (up to, and including, Termination of Employment) if the Executive fails to return such compensation. The Executive acknowledges the Bank’s and the Company’s rights to engage in any legal or equitable action or proceeding in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 3.11. The provisions of this Section 3.11 shall be modified to the extent, and remain in effect for the period, required by applicable law.

4. Termination; Suspension or Reduction of Benefits.

4.1 Termination of Employment. During the Term, the Executive’s Termination of Employment under this Agreement may only occur as follows:

(a) By the Employer:

(1) for Cause; provided that the Employer shall give the Executive any prior written notice required by Section 25(g);

(2) without Cause (other than pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(3) below) at any time, provided that the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Company shall give the Executive thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent; and provided further that the Employer shall meet its obligations to the Executive under Section 4.2; or

(3) in the event that a regulator for the Bank or the Company requires the Executive’s removal from service as an employee of the Bank and/or the Company.

(b) By the Executive:

(1) for any reason (other than pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(2)), provided that the Executive shall give the Employer thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the Executive’s intent to effect his Termination of Employment; or

(2) for Good Reason, provided that the Executive shall give the Employer the prior written notice described in Section 25(o).

(d) At any time upon mutual, written agreement of the parties to this Agreement.

(e) Upon expiration, including non-renewal, of the Term.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Term shall end automatically upon the Executive’s death.

4.2 Severance. If, during the Term, other than within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the Executive experiences a Termination of Employment, either (a) by the Employer without Cause pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(2); or (b) by the Executive for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(2), then, upon his Termination of Employment, the Employer will pay in lieu of any severance payment applicable under any general severance policy (which Executive acknowledges he is not eligible for due to this Agreement) severance to the Executive in an amount equal to one (1) times his Annual Base Salary then in effect (the “Severance Pay”), with such amount payable in substantially equal cash installments not less frequently than monthly over the twelve-month period following Executive’s Termination of Employment (the “Severance Payment Period”). So long as the Executive complies with the requirements of Sections 5.2, 5.3, 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement, the Severance Pay shall commence on the first payroll period (the “Initial Payment”) occurring on or after the 60^th day following the Executive’s Termination of Employment (the “Severance Delay Period”). The Initial Payment shall include payment for any payroll periods which occur during the Severance Delay Period and the remaining Severance Pay shall continue until the expiration of the Severance Payment Period subject to the provisions of this Agreement. If the Executive shall be entitled to receive Severance Pay pursuant to this Section 4.2, then, in addition to any Severance Pay payable to the Executive pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Employer shall, until such time as the Executive is eligible for Medicare, or some similar health care coverage provided by state or federal governments, or eligible to participate in or be covered by the health plans of any employer other than the Employer, pay on the Executive’s behalf, or reimburse the Executive, for the cost of COBRA premiums incurred by the Executive for his individual health coverage for the twelve (12) months following Termination of Employment (with any additional amounts incurred to procure family coverage being the sole responsibility of the

Executive). For purposes of the payment or reimbursement of COBRA premiums, the Employer may treat the amounts paid by it for premiums as taxable to the Executive or make such payments (less any required withholding) directly to the Executive to the extent required to avoid adverse consequences to the Executive or the Employer under either Section 105(h) of the Code, or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 as amended, and/or the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (to the extent applicable) (collectively, the “PPACA”); provided, further, that the Employer may modify or discontinue the continuation coverage contemplated by this Section 4.2) to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid the imposition of any excise taxes on the Employer for failure to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of the PPACA (to the extent applicable).

4.3 Change in Control. If, within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the Executive experiences a Termination of Employment, either (a) by the Employer or a successor thereto without Cause pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(2); or (b) by the Executive for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(2), the Executive shall receive, as liquidated damages, in lieu of all other claims and payments (other than those provided for in this Section 4.3), an amount equal to two (2) times the Executive’s Annual Base Salary for the year in which the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs, with such amount payable in a lump sum on the first business day following the Severance Delay Period.

4.4 Parachute Payment Reduction. In no event shall any payment or other consideration described in this Agreement exceed the amount permitted by Code Section 280G. Therefore, if the aggregate present value (determined in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 280G) of both the amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement and all other amounts payable to the Executive in the nature of compensation (the “Aggregate Payments”) would result in a “parachute payment,” as defined under Code Section 280G, then the Aggregate Payments shall not be greater than an amount equal to 2.99 multiplied by the Executive’s “base amount” for the “base period”, as those terms are defined under Code Section 280G. In the event the Aggregate Payments are required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 4.4, the Aggregate Payments will be reduced by category in the following order: (a) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; (b) reduction or elimination of cash severance benefits that are subject to Code Section 409A; (c) reduction or elimination of cash severance benefits that are not subject to Code Section 409A; (d) reduction or elimination of any remaining portion of the Aggregate Payments that are subject to Code Section 409A; and (e) reduction or elimination of any remaining portion of the Aggregate Payments that are not subject to Code Section 409A. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be cancelled, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive’s equity awards. Within each other category, cash payments and payments with respect to any equity award will be reduced pro rata based on the portion of cash or other payment with respect to the Aggregate Payments, in each case beginning with payments that would otherwise be made last in time; provided that in no event shall the cash portion of the Aggregate Payments be less than the amount of federal and state income tax withholding owed by the Executive with respect to the Aggregate Payments. In applying these principles, any reduction or elimination of the Aggregate Payments shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section of 409A of the Code and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero.

4.5 Effect of Termination of Employment.

(a) Upon Executive’s Termination of Employment hereunder for any reason, the Employer shall have no further obligations to the Executive or the Executive’s estate with respect to this Agreement, except for (i) the payment of any amount earned and owing under this Agreement; (ii) the reimbursement of any expenses under Section 3.4; and (iii) the payments set forth in Section 4.2 or 4.3 (but not both such sections), if applicable.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition of the Employer’s payment of any amount in connection with the Executive’s Termination of Employment, prior to the expiration of the Severance Delay Period the Executive must execute (and all revocation periods must expire pursuant to such release) a release in the form provided by the Employer, which form shall be reasonable and consistent with customary practices in the banking industry. All payments of severance pursuant to this Agreement shall accrue from the date of the Executive’s Termination of Employment and, notwithstanding the timing provisions under Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, shall be made or commence on the first business day following the last day of the Severance Delay Period, with any accrued but unpaid payments being paid on the date of the first payment.

(c) Any actual or constructive termination of the Executive’s employment which does not rise to the level of a Termination of Employment shall not entitle the Executive to any of the payments or benefits described in Section 4.

(d) If the Executive is a member of the Board of Directors of either the Company or the Bank and the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer or by the Executive pursuant to Section 4.1, the Executive shall immediately resign from his position(s) on the Board(s) of Directors of the Company and the Bank, effective as of the date his employment is terminated. In such event, the Employer shall promptly pay, or shall cause to be paid, any unpaid fees or expenses for the Executive’s service on the Board(s) of Directors of Employer.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no payments shall be made pursuant to Section 4 or any other provision herein in contravention of the requirements of Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) (12 U.S.C. 1828(k)).

4.6 Regulatory Action.

(a) If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall terminate, as of the effective date of such order, except for the payment of Annual Base Salary due and owing under Section 3.1 on the effective date of said order, and reimbursement under Section 3.4 of expenses incurred as of the effective date of termination.

(b) If the Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service of such notice, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Employer shall reinstate any of its obligations which were suspended to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(c) If the Employer is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the FDIA), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but the vested rights of the parties shall not be affected.

(d) If the FDIC is appointed receiver or conservator under Section 11(c) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. 1821(c)) of the Employer or any depository institution controlled by the Employer, the Employer shall have the right to terminate all obligations of the Employer under this Agreement as of the date of such receivership or conservatorship, other than any rights of the Executive that vested prior to such appointment. To the extent the Employer is or encompasses a depository institution, any vested rights of the Executive may be subject to such modifications that are consistent with the authority of the FDIC.

(e) If the FDIC provides open bank assistance under Section 13(c) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. 1823(c)) to the Employer or any depository institution controlled by the Employer, but excluding any such assistance provided to the industry generally, the Employer shall have the right to terminate all obligations of the Employer under this Agreement as of the date of such assistance, other than any rights of the Executive that vested prior to the FDIC action. To the extent the Employer is or encompasses a depository institution, any vested rights of the Executive may be subject to such modifications that are consistent with the authority of the FDIC.

(f) If the FDIC requires a transaction under Section 13(f) or 13(k) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. 1823(f) and (k)) by the Employer or any depository institution controlled by the Employer, the Employer shall have the right to terminate all obligations of the Employer under this Agreement as of the date of such transaction, other than any rights of the Executive that vested prior to the transaction. To the extent the Employer is or encompasses a depository institution, any vested rights of the Executive may be subject to such modifications that are consistent with the authority of the FDIC.

(g) Notwithstanding the timing for the payment of any severance amounts described in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, no such payments shall be made or commence, as applicable, that require the concurrence or consent of the appropriate federal banking agency of the Employer pursuant to 12 C.F.R. Section 359 or otherwise prior to the receipt of such concurrence or consent. Any payments suspended by operation of this Section 4.6(g) shall be paid as a lump sum on the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause a violation of applicable law and following receipt of the concurrence or consent of the appropriate federal banking agency of the Employer or as otherwise directed by such federal banking agency and strictly in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

(h) All obligations under this Agreement are further subject to such conditions, restrictions, limitations and forfeiture provisions as may separately apply pursuant to any applicable state banking laws.

5. Employer Information.

5.1 Ownership of Employer Information. All Employer Information received or developed by the Executive or by the Employer while the Executive is employed by the Employer will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Employer.

5.2 Obligations of the Executive. The Executive agrees:

(a) to hold Employer Information in strictest confidence;

(b) not to use, duplicate, reproduce, distribute, disclose or otherwise disseminate Employer Information or any physical embodiments of Employer Information to any unauthorized recipient; and

(c) in any event, not to take any action causing or fail to take any action necessary in order to prevent any Employer Information from losing its character or ceasing to qualify as Confidential Information or a Trade Secret;

provided, however, that none of the foregoing obligations shall preclude the Executive from making any disclosures of Employer Information required by law. This Section 5 shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of this Agreement for any reason with respect to Confidential Information, and shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason for so long as is permitted by applicable law, with respect to Trade Secrets.

5.3 Delivery upon Request or Termination. Upon request by the Employer, and in any event upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment with the Employer, the Executive will promptly deliver to the Employer all property belonging to the Employer and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, all Employer Information then in the Executive’s possession or control.

6. Non-Competition. The Executive agrees that during the Executive’s employment by the Employer hereunder, and in the event of the Executive’s Termination of Employment, regardless of the reason, for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, the Executive will not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Employer), within the Area, either directly or indirectly, on the Executive’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, perform for any Competing Business any services which are the same as or essentially the same as the services the Executive provided for the Company or the Bank.

7. Non-Solicitation of Customers. The Executive agrees that during the Executive’s employment by the Employer hereunder, and in the event of the Executive’s Termination of Employment, regardless of the reason, for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, the Executive will not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Company and the Bank) on the Executive’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, any business from any of the Company’s and the Bank’s customers, including prospective customers actively sought by the Company or the Bank, with whom the Executive has or had material contact during the last two (2) years of the Executive’s employment with Employer, for purposes of providing products or services that are competitive with those provided by the Company or the Bank.

8. Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive agrees that during the Executive’s employment by the Employer hereunder, and in the event of the Executive’s Termination of Employment, regardless of the reason, for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, the Executive will not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Company and the Bank) on the Executive’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, recruit or hire or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire any employee of the Company or the Bank that was an employee of the Employer within the one (1) year period prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment, whether or not such employee is a full-time employee or a temporary employee of the Company or the Bank, such employment is pursuant to written agreement, for a determined period, or at will.

9. Remedies. The Executive agrees that the covenants contained in Sections 5 through 8 of this Agreement are of the essence of this Agreement; that each of the covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect the business, interests and properties of the Employer, and that irreparable loss and damage will be suffered by the Employer should the Executive breach any of such covenants. Therefore, the Executive agrees and consents that, in addition to all the remedies provided by law or in equity, the Employer shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and temporary and permanent injunctions to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of any of such covenants. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies, the Executive agrees that any willful violation of the covenants in Sections 5 through 8 that results in material harm to the Employer will result in the immediate forfeiture of any remaining payment that otherwise is or may become due under Section 4.2 or 4.3, if applicable. The Employer and the Executive agree that all remedies available to the Employer or the Executive, as applicable, shall be cumulative.

10. Severability. The parties agree that each of the provisions included in this Agreement is separate, distinct and severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and that the invalidity or unenforceability of any Agreement provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Further, if any provision of this Agreement is ruled invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because of a conflict between the provision and any applicable law or public policy, the provision shall be redrawn to make the provision consistent with, and valid and enforceable under, the law or public policy.

11. No Set-Off by the Executive. The existence of any claim, demand, action or cause of action by the Executive against the Employer whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Employer of any of its rights hereunder.

13. Compliance with Section 409A.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, a Termination of Employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of “deferred compensation” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) upon or following a Termination of Employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” from the Employer within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “separation,” “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service. It is intended that (i) each payment or installment of payments provided under this Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and (ii) that the payments satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code, including those provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4) (regarding short-term deferrals), 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (regarding the two-times, two (2) year exception) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)

(regarding reimbursements and other separation pay). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if (i) on the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)), Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(i)(1)) of the Company, as determined in accordance with the Company’s “specified employee” determination procedures, and (ii) any payments to be provided to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement which constitute “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A and are or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code if provided at the time otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payments shall be delayed until the date that is six (6) months after the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)) or, if sooner, the date of Executive’s death. Any payments delayed pursuant to this Section 13(a) shall be made in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)) or, if sooner, the date of Executive’s death.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, to the extent that any reimbursement (including expense reimbursements), fringe benefit or other, similar plan or arrangement in which the Executive participates during the Term or thereafter provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, then such reimbursements shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulations 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) including; (i) the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment under such plan or arrangement in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment in any other calendar year (except that a plan providing medical or health benefits may impose a generally applicable limit on the amount that may be reimbursed or paid), (ii) subject to any shorter time periods provided herein or the applicable plans or arrangements, any reimbursement or payment of an expense under such plan or arrangement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit may not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, any payment due under this Agreement within a period following the Executive’s termination of employment, death, Disability or other event, shall be made on a date during such period as determined by the Employer in its sole discretion.

(e) This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with, and the Employer and the Executive will use their best efforts to achieve timely compliance with, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance promulgated thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
