of the EMPLOYERS. Upon termination of employment, the EMPLOYEE shall not
be entitled to receive any additional compensation from the EMPLOYERS for
unused sick leave.
Section 4. Termination of Employment.
(a) General. The employment of the EMPLOYEE shall terminate at any time
during the TERM (i) at the option of the EMPLOYERS, upon the delivery by the
EMPLOYERS of written notice of termination to the EMPLOYEE, or (ii) at the
option of the EMPLOYEE, upon delivery by the EMPLOYEE of written notice of
termination to the EMPLOYERS if the present capacity or circumstances in which
the EMPLOYEE is employed are materially adversely changed without the EMPLOYEE's
written consent, including, but not limited to, a material reduction in
responsibilities or authority, the assignment of duties or responsibilities
substantially inconsistent with those normally associated with the EMPLOYEE'S
position described in Section 2(a) of this AGREEMENT, a change of title, the
requirement that the EMPLOYEE regularly perform her principal executive
functions more than thirty-five (35) miles from her primary office as of the
date of this AGREEMENT or the reduction of the EMPLOYEE'S benefits provided
under this AGREEMENT, unless the benefit reductions are part of a company-wide
reduction. The following subsections (I), (II) and (III) of this Section 4(a)
shall govern the obligations of the EMPLOYERS to the EMPLOYEE upon the
occurrence of the events described in such subparagraphs:
(I) Termination for JUST CAUSE. In the event that the EMPLOYERS
terminate the employment of the EMPLOYEE during the TERM because of the
EMPLOYEE'S personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach
of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure or
refusal to perform the duties and responsibilities assigned in this
AGREEMENT, willful violation of any law, rule, regulation or final
cease-and-desist order (other than traffic violations or similar
offenses), conviction of a felony or for fraud or embezzlement, or
material breach of any provision of this AGREEMENT (hereinafter
collectively referred to as "JUST CAUSE"), the EMPLOYEE shall not receive,
and shall have no right to receive, any compensation or other benefits for
any period after such termination.
(II) Termination after CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event that, before
the expiration of the TERM and in connection with or within one year of a
CHANGE OF CONTROL (as defined hereinafter) of either one of the EMPLOYERS,
the employment of the EMPLOYEE is terminated for any reason other than
JUST CAUSE or is terminated by the EMPLOYEE as provided in Section
4(a)(ii) above, then the following shall occur:
(A) The EMPLOYERS shall promptly pay to the EMPLOYEE or to her
beneficiaries, dependents or estate an amount equal to the sum of
(l) the amount of compensation to which the EMPLOYEE would be
entitled for the remainder of the TERM under this AGREEMENT, plus
(2) the difference between (x) the product of three, multiplied by
the greater of the annual salary and bonus set forth in Section 3(b)
of this AGREEMENT or the annual salary and bonus payable to the
EMPLOYEE as a result of any ANNUAL REVIEW, less (xx) the amount paid
to the EMPLOYEE pursuant to clause (l) of this subparagraph (A);
(B) The EMPLOYEE, his dependents, beneficiaries and estate shall be
covered under either the health, life and disability plans of the EMPLOYER or
the health, life and disability plans of the successors, survivors or assigns of
the EMPLOYERS without any material diminution in coverage or benefit at the
expense of the EMPLOYERS or the successors, survivors or assigns of the
EMPLOYERS as if the EMPLOYEE were still employed under this AGREEMENT until the
earliest of the expiration of the TERM or the date on which the EMPLOYEE is
included in another employer's benefit plans as a full-time employee; and
(C) The EMPLOYEE shall not be required to mitigate the amount
of any payment provided for in this AGREEMENT by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall any amounts received from other
employment or otherwise by the EMPLOYEE offset in any manner the
obligations of the EMPLOYERS hereunder, except as specifically
stated in subparagraph (B) above.
Provided, however, that in the event that the value of the payments
pursuant to this subsection (II), when combined with the value of other
payments attributable to the same CHANGE OF CONTROL, would result in the
imposition of a penalty tax pursuant to Section 280G(b)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as "SECTION 280G"), such
payments shall be reduced to the maximum amount which may be paid under
SECTION 280G without exceeding such limits. This reduction will be applied
through the following procedure:
(Y) First, at least 30 days before the payment is due under this
subsection (II), the EMPLOYER will apprise the EMPLOYEE of the value
of each of the benefits payable because of the CHANGE OF CONTROL and
the maximum amount which may be paid under SECTION 280G without
exceeding such limits and afford the EMPLOYEE an opportunity to
select the benefit (or portion of the benefit) to be reduced.
(Z) Second, if, before the end of that 30 day period, the EMPLOYEE
apprises the EMPLOYER in writing of the benefit or benefits to be
reduced (and the amount of each reduction), the EMPLOYEE'S election
will be implemented and, subject to the next subparagraph, the
adjusted payment made promptly.
But, if, before the end of that 30 day period, the EMPLOYEE does not
apprise the EMPLOYER of the benefit or benefits to be reduced or if the
amount of the reductions the EMPLOYEE specifies does not reduce the value
of all benefits payable because of the CHANGE OF CONTROL to the maximum
amount that may be paid under SECTION 280G without exceeding such limits,
the EMPLOYER will reduce the amount payable under this agreement by an
amount needed to ensure that the limits imposed under SECTION 280G are not
exceeded.
(III) Termination Without CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event that the
employment of the EMPLOYEE is terminated before the expiration of the TERM
for any reason other than death, JUST CAUSE or in connection with or
within one year of a CHANGE OF CONTROL, the EMPLOYERS shall be obligated
to continue (A) to pay on a monthly basis to the EMPLOYEE, her dependents,
beneficiaries or estate, her annual salary provided pursuant to Section
3(a) or (b) of this AGREEMENT until the expiration of the TERM and (B) to
provide to the EMPLOYEE, her dependents, beneficiaries and estate at the
EMPLOYERS' expense, health, life, disability and other benefits
substantially equal to those being provided to the EMPLOYEE at the date of
termination of her employment until the earliest to occur of the
expiration of the TERM or the date the EMPLOYEE becomes employed full-time
by another employer; provided, however, that in the event that payments
pursuant to this subsection (III) would result in the imposition of a
penalty tax pursuant to SECTION 280G, such payments shall be reduced to
the maximum amount which may be paid under SECTION 280G without exceeding
those limits. The EMPLOYEE shall not be required to mitigate the amount of
any payment provided for in this AGREEMENT by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall any amounts received from other employment or
otherwise by the EMPLOYEE offset in any manner the obligations of the
EMPLOYERS hereunder, except as specifically stated in subparagraph
(III)(B) above.
(b) Death of the EMPLOYEE. The TERM automatically terminates upon the
death of the EMPLOYEE, unless the employment of EMPLOYEE has been terminated
prior to EMPLOYEE's death pursuant to Section 4(a) of this AGREEMENT. In the
event of such death, the EMPLOYEE'S estate shall be entitled to receive the
compensation due the EMPLOYEE through the last day of the calendar month in
which the death occurred, except as otherwise specified herein.
(c) "Golden Parachute" Provision. Any payments made to the EMPLOYEE
pursuant to this AGREEMENT, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon
their compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and FDIC regulation 12 C.F.R.
Part 359, Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments.
(d) Definition of "CHANGE OF CONTROL". A "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall mean
any one of the following events: (i) the acquisition of ownership or power to
vote more than 25% of the voting stock of either of the EMPLOYERS; (ii) the
acquisition of the ability to control the election of a majority of the
directors of either of the EMPLOYERS; (iii) during any period of two consecutive
years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of
Directors of WFC or WINTON cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided, however,
that any individual whose election or nomination for election as a member of the
Board of Directors of WFC or XXXXXX was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the directors then in office shall be considered to have continued
to be a member of the Board of Directors of WFC or XXXXXX; or (iv) the
acquisition by any person or entity of "conclusive control" of XXXXXX within the
meaning of 12 C.F.R. Section 574.4(a), or the acquisition by any person or
entity of "rebuttable control" within the meaning of 12 C.F.R. Section 574.4(b)
that has not been rebutted in accordance with 12 C.F.R. Section 574.4(c). For
purposes of this paragraph, the term "person" refers to an individual or
corporation, partnership, trust, association, or other organization, but does
not include the EMPLOYEE and any person or persons with whom the EMPLOYEE is
"acting in concert" within the meaning of 12 C.F.R. Part 574.
(e) Termination by EMPLOYEE. If the EMPLOYEE terminates this AGREEMENT
without the written consent of the EMPLOYERS, other than pursuant to Section
4(a)(ii) of this AGREEMENT, the EMPLOYEE shall not engage in the financial
institutions business as a director, officer, employee or consultant for any
business or enterprise which competes with the principal business of the
EMPLOYERS or any of their subsidiaries within Xxxxxxxx County or any other
geographic area in which XXXXXX or WFC is doing business for the unexpired TERM
of this AGREEMENT. This provision shall not apply in the event of the

expiration of the TERM or the termination of the employment of the EMPLOYEE by
the EMPLOYEE pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) of this AGREEMENT.

Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (hereinafter
referred to as the "FDIA"), the EMPLOYERS' obligations 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
EMPLOYERS may, in their discretion, pay the EMPLOYEE all or part of the
compensation withheld while the obligations in this AGREEMENT were suspended and
reinstate, in whole or in part, any of the obligations that were suspended.
(b) If the EMPLOYEE is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the EMPLOYERS' affairs by an order issued under

under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the FDIA; or (ii) by the
Director of the OTS, or his or her designee, at any time the Director of the

rights of the EMPLOYEE shall be affected by any such action.
Section 6. Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. Nothing in this
AGREEMENT shall preclude the EMPLOYERS from consolidating with, merging into, or

that assumes all of the EMPLOYERS' obligations and undertakings hereunder. Upon
such a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets, the term "EMPLOYERS" as used
herein shall mean such other corporation or entity and this AGREEMENT shall
continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that the assumption of the
EMPLOYERS' obligations and undertakings hereunder shall not affect the

connection with such consolidation, merger or transfer of assets.

her employment she will learn and have access to confidential information
regarding the EMPLOYERS and their customers and businesses. The EMPLOYEE agrees
and covenants not to disclose or use for her own benefit, or the benefit of any
other person or entity, any confidential information, unless or until the
EMPLOYERS' consent to such disclosure or use or such information becomes common
knowledge in the industry or is otherwise legally in the public domain. The
EMPLOYEE shall not knowingly disclose or reveal to any unauthorized person any
confidential information relating to the EMPLOYERS, their subsidiaries or
affiliates, or to any of the businesses operated by them, and the EMPLOYEE
confirms that such information constitutes the exclusive property of the
EMPLOYERS. The EMPLOYEE shall not otherwise knowingly act or conduct himself (a)
to the material detriment of the EMPLOYERS, their subsidiaries, or affiliates,
or (b) in a manner which is inimical or contrary to the interests of the
EMPLOYERS.
Section 8. Nonassignability. Neither this AGREEMENT nor any right or
interest hereunder shall be assignable by the EMPLOYEE, her beneficiaries, or
legal representatives without the EMPLOYERS' prior written consent; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall preclude (a) the EMPLOYEE from
designating a beneficiary to receive any benefits payable hereunder upon her
death, or (b) the executors, administrators, or other legal representatives of
the EMPLOYEE or her estate from assigning any rights hereunder to the person or
persons entitled thereto.

permitted successors and assigns.
Section 11. Amendment of AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT may not be modified or
amended, except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.
Section 12. Waiver. No term or condition of this AGREEMENT shall be deemed
to have been waived, nor shall there be an estoppel against the enforcement of
any provision of this AGREEMENT, except by written instrument of the party
charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a
continuing waiver, unless specifically stated therein, and each waiver shall
operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not
constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act
other than the act specifically waived.
Section 13. Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this
AGREEMENT is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions
of this AGREEMENT not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall, to
the full extent consistent with applicable law, continue in full force and
effect. If this AGREEMENT is held invalid or cannot be enforced, then any prior
AGREEMENT between the EMPLOYERS (or any predecessor thereof) and the EMPLOYEE
shall be deemed reinstated to the full extent permitted by law, as if this
