H. The members of the Board of Directors of LaFollette Corporation have each agreed to execute and deliver to CTBI a voting agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Agreement:
1. The Share Exchange.
1.1 The Share Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3 hereof), a statutory share exchange pursuant to Section 271B.11.020 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes and Section 00-00-000 of the Tennessee Code (“Share Exchange”) shall occur in the manner set forth in Section 2.
1.2 Closing. The closing (“Closing”) of the Share Exchange shall take place at the offices of CTBI’s counsel, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx & XxXxxxxx pllc, 3500 National City Tower, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the date (“Closing Date”) that the Effective Time occurs, or at such other place, time or date as the Parties may agree.
1.3 Effective Time. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall become effective on the date and at the time specified in the Articles of Share Exchange, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and the related Plan of Share Exchange, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, as filed with the Secretaries of State of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the State of Tennessee (the “Effective Time”). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Effective Time shall occur on the Business Day (defined below) and at the time specified by CTBI, provided that the Effective Time shall not occur before the last to occur of the following: (i) the effective date (including expiration of any applicable waiting period) of the last required consent of any Governmental Authority (defined herein) having authority over and approving or exempting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) the date on which the shareholders of LaFollette Corporation approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) the fulfillment of all conditions precedent to the Share Exchange set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.
1.4 Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. At CTBI’s election, the Share Exchange may alternatively be structured so that: (i) LaFollette Corporation is merged with and into any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CTBI; or (ii) any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CTBI is merged with and into LaFollette Corporation; provided, however, that no such change shall: (x) alter or change the amount or kind of the Purchase Price (as defined below) or the treatment of the holders of common stock, $50 par value per share, of LaFollette Corporation (“LaFollette Corporation Common Stock”); or (y) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of such an election, the Parties agree to execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement in order to reflect such election.
2. Manner and Basis of Exchange of Stock.
2.1 Conversion of Shares.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Share Exchange and without any act on the part of the holders thereof, each share of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than: (i) shares held as treasury stock of LaFollette Corporation; (ii) any shares held directly or indirectly by CTBI, except any shares held in a fiduciary capacity; and (iii) Dissenting Shares (as defined below), if any) shall become and be converted into the right to receive Six Hundred Fifty U.S. Dollars ($650.00) (the “Purchase Price”). For avoidance of doubt, the total Purchase Price to be paid in the Share Exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock, assuming no dissenting shares, shall be Sixteen Million Ninety-Three Thousand Three Hundred Fifty U.S. Dollars ($16,093,350).
(b) Each share of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is held as treasury stock of LaFollette Corporation or held directly or indirectly by CTBI, except any shares held in a fiduciary capacity, shall by virtue of the Share Exchange be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no exchange or payment shall be made therefore.
2.2 Exchange Procedures. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time, CTBI shall cause an exchange agent, which may be Community Trust Bank (the “Exchange Agent”), to mail to the former holders of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock appropriate transmittal materials which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent. At or before the Effective Time, CTBI shall deposit with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of holders of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock an amount of cash equal to the Purchase Price for the outstanding LaFollette Corporation Common Stock. After the Effective Time, each holder of shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement or Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Exchange Agent and shall promptly upon surrender thereof receive in exchange therefore the consideration provided in Section 2.1 of this Agreement. The Exchange Agent shall not be obligated to deliver the consideration to which any former holder of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Share Exchange until such holder surrenders their certificate or certificates representing the shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 2.2. The certificate or certificates (or an affidavit of lost certificate and an indemnity bond, if required by CTBI) representing LaFollette Corporation Common Stock so surrendered shall be duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, CTBI shall not be liable to a holder of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock for any amounts paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. CTBI shall be entitled to rely upon LaFollette Corporation’s stock transfer books to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the Purchase Price, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by a certificate, CTBI shall be entitled to deposit the Purchase Price with respect to the stock represented by such certificate in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved of all liability with respect to any claims thereto.
2.3 Rights of Former LaFollette Corporation Shareholders. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of LaFollette Corporation shall be closed as to holders of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no transfer of LaFollette Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 of this Agreement, each certificate theretofore representing shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(b)) shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the consideration provided in Section 2.1 of this Agreement in exchange therefore (or with respect to Dissenting Shares the right to receive the consideration provided in Section 2.4 of this Agreement).
2.4 Dissenting Shares. Shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by persons who have properly exercised, and not withdrawn or waived, appraisal rights with respect thereto (the “Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with the Tennessee Business Corporation Act (the “TBCA”), will not be converted into the right to receive the Purchase Price, and holders of such shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock will be entitled, in lieu thereof, to receive payment of the fair value of such shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the TBCA unless and until such holders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or lose their rights to appraisal and payment under the TBCA. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Purchase Price, without any interest thereon. LaFollette Corporation will give CTBI prompt notice of any notices of intent to demand payment received by LaFollette Corporation with respect to shares of LaFollette Corporation Common Stock. Prior to the Effective Time, LaFollette Corporation will not, except with the prior written consent of CTBI, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.
On or prior to the date hereof, LaFollette Corporation and LaFollette Bank have delivered to CTBI a schedule (the “Disclosure Schedule”) setting forth, among other things, items, the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more representations or warranties contained in this Section 3 or to one or more of its covenants contained in Section 5.
For the purpose of this Agreement, and in relation to LaFollette Corporation, a “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect that: (i) is material and adverse to the financial position, results of operations or business of LaFollette Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; or (ii) would materially impair the ability of LaFollette Corporation to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially threaten or materially impede the consummation of the Share Exchange or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include the impact of: (a) changes in banking and similar laws of general applicability to banks or their holding companies or interpretations thereof by courts or governmental authorities; (b) changes in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or regulatory accounting requirements applicable to banks or their holding companies generally; (c) any modifications or changes to valuation policies and practices in connection with the Share Exchange in accordance with GAAP; (d) changes in the general level of interest rates (including the impact on LaFollette Corporation’s or LaFollette Bank’s securities portfolios) or conditions or circumstances relating to or that affect the United States economy, financial or securities markets or the banking industry, generally; (e) changes resulting from expenses (such as legal, accounting and investment bankers’ fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and any benefit or retirement plan disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule; (f) the impact of compliance with this Agreement on the business, financial condition or results of operations of LaFollette Corporation and LaFollette Bank; or (g) the occurrence of any military or terrorist attack within the United States outside of LaFollette, Tennessee. Material Adverse Effect shall include the issuance in and of itself after the date of this Agreement of any order or directive to LaFollette Corporation and/or LaFollette Bank by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, but still subject to the five (5) Business Day CTBI response period provided for in Section 5.8(e), XxXxxxxxxx Corporation may, in response to an unsolicited written proposal with respect to an Acquisition Transaction from a third party, furnish information to, and negotiate, explore or otherwise engage in substantive discussions with such third party, and enter into any such agreement, arrangement or understandings, and recommend the approval of such agreement, arrangement or understandings to the shareholders of XxXxxxxxxx Corporation, in each case, only if XxXxxxxxxx Corporation’s Board of Directors determines in good faith by majority vote, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failing to take such action would be a breach of or otherwise inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of XxXxxxxxxx Corporation’s Board of Directors. In the event XxXxxxxxxx Corporation enters into an agreement, arrangement or understanding for an Acquisition Transaction in accordance with the foregoing sentence, XxXxxxxxxx Corporation’s Board of Directors may terminate this Agreement on written notice to CTBI; provided, however, that in connection with terminating this Agreement, XxXxxxxxxx Corporation has paid the Termination Fee referred to in Section 8.3 to CTBI.
(c) In the event XxXxxxxxxx Corporation’s Board of Directors, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, determines in good faith that it would result in a violation of or otherwise be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law to recommend this Agreement and the Share Exchange to XxXxxxxxxx Corporation’s shareholders for their approval (including as modified, if at all by Section 5.8(e)), and if the Board Directors does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.8(b) above and elects to submit this Agreement to the shareholders at the meeting of shareholders, XxXxxxxxxx Corporation may submit this Agreement without recommendation of approval, in which case the Board of Directors may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation of approval to the shareholders in the proxy statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by law.
(d) This Section shall not authorize XxXxxxxxxx Corporation or XxXxxxxxxx Bank, or any of their directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives on their behalf, to initiate any discussions or negotiations with respect to an Acquisition Transaction with a third party.
(e) Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of an Offer Notification, CTBI may propose any amendments or modifications to this Agreement, and the XxXxxxxxxx Corporation Board of Directors, in good faith and subject to its fiduciary duties, shall determine whether such third party’s Acquisition Transaction continues to be a superior proposal to the CTBI revised proposal. No exercise of CTBI’s rights under this Section 5.8(e) shall waive any right CTBI may have to receive the Termination Fee referred to in Section 8.3.
5.9 Press Releases. Unless prior notice and comment is not possible or practicable as the result of applicable law or any listing or exchange rule, neither XxXxxxxxxx Corporation nor XxXxxxxxxx Bank nor CTBI will issue any press or news releases or make any other public announcements or disclosures relating to the Share Exchange without providing a final copy of such press or news release to the other party and providing such party with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press or news release.

6.2 Employee Matters.
(a) Subject to determination of its staffing needs, CTBI desires to retain certain of the employees of XxXxxxxxxx Corporation and XxXxxxxxxx Bank following the Effective Time. All persons who are employees of XxXxxxxxxx Corporation and XxXxxxxxxx Bank immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any employees of XxXxxxxxxx Corporation and XxXxxxxxxx Bank on vacation, leave of absence or disability) and whose employment is not specifically terminated at or prior to the Effective Time (a “Continuing Employee”) shall, at the Effective Time, become employees of Community Trust Bank; provided, however, Continuing Employees who are duly appointed as officers following the Effective Time will serve as market level officers rather than CTBI or Community Trust Bank officers. At and following the Effective Time, no contractual right to employment shall inure to any Continuing Employee by virtue of this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, any continuation of employment of the Continuing Employees shall be on such terms and conditions as Community Trust Bank in its sole discretion determines to be appropriate, and without guarantee that any such Continuing Employee shall receive an offer of employment for the same or similar position that he or she currently holds, or for the wages and benefits that he or she currently receives. It is understood and agreed that any continued employment by a Continuing Employee is “at will” and may be terminated by Community Trust Bank at any time and for any reason (subject to any written commitments to the contrary made by Community Trust Bank to such Continuing Employee, and to any applicable laws). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of Community Trust Bank, after the Effective Time, to terminate, re-assign, promote or demote any of the Continuing Employees after the Effective Time or to change adversely the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment of any such Continuing Employees. However, Continuing Employees will receive full credit for service to XxXxxxxxxx Corporation or XxXxxxxxxx Bank for purposes of the length of annual vacation.
(b) As of the Effective Time, CTBI shall make available employer-provided health and other employee welfare benefit plans to each Continuing Employee on the same basis as it provides such coverage to new employees of CTBI. With respect to any “M&A qualified beneficiary” of LaFollette Bank within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 4980B-9 Q&A 4, continuation coverage under COBRA shall be furnished under a group health plan sponsored by CTBI.
(c) As of the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee shall be eligible to participate in CTBI’s 401(k) plan and employee stock ownership plan with full credit for prior service with LaFollette Corporation for purposes of eligibility and vesting. CTBI, after reviewing LaFollette Corporation’s 401(k) plan and accompanying disclosures, within a reasonable time after such review, reserves the right to require LaFollette Corporation to obtain a fiduciary audit of the investment option available under such LaFollette Corporation 401(k) Plan and to terminate the LaFollette Corporation 401(k) plan (and to file for a determination letter from the IRS on such termination) prior to the Effective Time. If, after reviewing LaFollette Corporation’s 401(k) plan and accompanying disclosures or fiduciary audit report, CTBI does not exercise such right to require termination, CTBI shall cause the LaFollette Corporation 401(k) plan to be merged into the CTBI 401(k) plan as soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time.
6.3 Adverse Actions. CTBI shall not knowingly take any action that is intended or is reasonably likely to result in: (i) any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or becoming untrue in any respect at any time at or prior to the Effective Time, subject to the standard set forth in Section 7.2(b); (ii) any of the conditions to the Share Exchange set forth in Section 7 not being satisfied; (iii) a material violation of any provision of this Agreement; or (iv) a material delay in the consummation of the Share Exchange except, in each case, as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

Such terminated LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank employees also shall be entitled to any accrued, unused vacation. With respect to any such LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank employees who elect continuation coverage under COBRA, CTBI shall pay any COBRA premiums for the first three (3) months of such continuation coverage.
6.5 Advisory Board. CTBI will establish an advisory board (“Advisory Board”) with respect to the former LaFollette Bank to facilitate service to the local community. All directors of LaFollette Bank, as of the Effective Time shall be invited to serve on the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board shall meet not less often than quarterly to advise the LaFollette area branches and the market president in a non-fiduciary capacity with respect to the branches’ community activities and affairs, customer relations, local community needs, concerns and service opportunities, local charitable activities and opportunities for business development, including customer referrals.

Upon termination by written notice, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, and there shall be no further obligations or restrictions on future activities on the part of CTBI, LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and shareholders, except as provided in compliance with: (i) the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement set forth in Section 5.11 hereof; and (ii) the payment of expenses set forth in Section 10.11 hereof, provided, however, that termination will not in any way release a breaching party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement giving rise to such termination; and (iii) the payment of the Termination Fee as provided by Section 8.3 hereof. The obligation to pay the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof will survive any termination of this Agreement.
8.3 Termination Fee.
(a) In recognition of the efforts, expenses and other opportunities foregone by CTBI while structuring and pursuing the Share Exchange, the Parties agree that a termination fee and/or out-of-pocket expenses up to the amounts set forth below (collectively, the “Termination Fee”) shall be paid by LaFollette Corporation as indicated below:
(1) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by CTBI either (A) pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(1) as a result of LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank willfully and intentionally breaching any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement; (B) pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(3); (C) pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(4), and within twelve (12) months of such termination, LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank enters into a definitive agreement for an Acquisition Transaction with a third party or (D) pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(1) as a result of the willful and intentional failure of LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank to fulfill the conditions set forth in Section 7.1; or (ii) this Agreement is terminated by LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank pursuant to: (A) Section 8.1(c)(3); or (B) pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(2), and within twelve (12) months of such termination, LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank enters into a definitive agreement for an Acquisition Transaction with a third party; or (C) pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(1), and within twelve (12) months of such termination, LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank enters into a definitive agreement for an Acquisition Transaction with a third party; then in any such case, LaFollette Corporation shall pay a Termination Fee to CTBI equal to SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($700,000) plus its documented internal and external out-of-of pocket expenses up to TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($250,000).
(2) If this Agreement is terminated by CTBI other than as contemplated by Section 8.3(a)(1) pursuant to: (i) Section 8.1(a)(1); (ii) Section 8.1(b)(1); (iii) Section 8.1(b)(2); (iv) Section 8.1(b)(4); or (v) Section 8.1(b)(5), then LaFollette Corporation shall pay a Termination Fee to CTBI equal to its documented internal and external out-of-pocket expenses up to TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($250,000).
(b) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, CTBI would not have entered into this Agreement and such an amount does not constitute a penalty or liquidated damages in the event of a breach of this Agreement by LaFollette Corporation or LaFollette Bank. Accordingly, if LaFollette Corporation fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, CTBI commences an action which results in a judgment against LaFollette Corporation for the Termination Fee, LaFollette Corporation shall pay to CTBI its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such action, together with interest on the amount of the Termination Fee at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum. If LaFollette Corporation is required to pay a Termination Fee under Section 8.3(a)(1), upon such payment, LaFollette Corporation shall have no further liability to CTBI for any breach of this Agreement resulting in the requirement to pay the Termination Fee. If LaFollette Corporation pays a Termination Fee to CTBI pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(2), CTBI shall remain entitled to receive a Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(1) in the event that one or more of the conditions of Section 8.3(a)(1) are met; provided, however, that the amount previously paid by LaFollette Corporation pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(2) to CTBI shall be fully credited against the Termination Fee due pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(1).
(c) Any payment of the Termination Fee by LaFollette Corporation pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be made within two (2) Business Days after termination of this Agreement or two (2) Business Days after entry into a definitive agreement for the Acquisition Transaction which triggered the Termination Fee, as applicable. The payment of the Termination Fee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
(d) If the Termination Fee required by this Section 8.3 shall be held unenforceable or illegal due to the amount of such Termination Fee by any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority, then the amount of such Termination Fee shall be reduced to the maximum amount enforceable under the law.
9. Closing Deliveries.

10.4 Headings. The headings in this Agreement have been inserted solely for ease of reference and should not be considered in the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
10.5 Severability. If a court or Governmental Authority, in any proceeding holds any provision of this Agreement or its application to any person, Party or circumstance invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons, Parties or circumstances other than those to which it was held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected and shall be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, but only if and to the extent such enforcement would not materially and adversely frustrate the Parties’ essential objectives as expressed in this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the Parties intend that the court or Governmental Authority add to this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be valid and enforceable, so as to effect the original intent of the Parties to the greatest extent possible.
10.6 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Any signature page delivered by facsimile or email shall be binding to the same extent as an original. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties hereto.
10.7 Governing Law; Enforcement; Specific Performance. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and applicable Federal laws, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, except with regard to those provisions of this Agreement which are specifically governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee. The Parties hereto hereby agree that all claims, actions, suits and proceedings between the Parties hereto relating to this Agreement shall be filed, tried and litigated only in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Kentucky or the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. In connection with the foregoing, the Parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts and expressly waive any claims or defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction of or proper venue by such courts. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court identified above, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
10.8 Waiver Of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties hereby waives trial by jury in any judicial proceeding involving, directly, in any matters (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with this Agreement or the agreements and other transactions contemplated hereby.
10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement, dated April 14, 2010 (“Confidentiality Agreement”), supersede all other prior or contemporaneous understandings, commitments, representations, negotiations or agreements, whether oral or written, among the Parties hereto relating to the Share Exchange or other transactions contemplated hereby and constitute the entire agreement between the Parties hereto, except as otherwise provided herein. Upon the execution of this Agreement by all the Parties hereto, any and all other prior writings of either Party relating to the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated hereby, will terminate and will be rendered of no further force or effect, except for the Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties hereto agree that each Party and its counsel reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.
10.10 Survival of Representations, Warranties or Covenants. Except as set forth in the following sentence, none of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Parties will survive the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement, and thereafter CTBI, XxXxxxxxxx Corporation, XxXxxxxxxx Bank, and all the respective directors, officers and employees of CTBI, XxXxxxxxxx Corporation and XxXxxxxxxx Bank will have no further liability with respect thereto. The covenants contained in Sections 5.9, 5.12, 8, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 and 10.11 shall survive termination of this Agreement. The covenants contained in Sections 5.9, 5.12, 5.17, 6.2, 6.4, 10.5, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 and 10.11 shall survive the Effective Time.
10.11 Expenses. Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 8.3 hereof), each Party to this Agreement shall pay its own expenses incidental to the Share Exchange and other transactions contemplated hereby.
10.12 Certain References. Whenever in this Agreement a singular word is used, it also will include the plural wherever required by the context and vice-versa, and the masculine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter genders. Except expressly stated otherwise, all references in this Agreement to periods of days shall be construed to refer to calendar, not Business Days. The term “Business Day” will mean any day except Saturday and Sunday when Community Trust Bank, in Pikeville, Kentucky, is open for the transaction of business.
10.13 Disclosure Schedules. The mere inclusion of an item in a Party’s Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by such Party that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Further, while each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to specifically reference each Section of this Agreement under which such disclosure is made pursuant to such Party’s Disclosure Schedule, any information disclosed with respect to one Section shall not be deemed to be disclosed for purposes of any other Section of this Agreement in such Party’s Disclosure Schedule unless it is reasonably apparent the disclosed information relates to another Section or Sections of this Agreement notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross-reference.
10.14 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges that each Party has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the contemplated transactions and has participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting Party has no application and is expressly waived, and if a question of intent arises no presumptions or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of authorship of any specific provision.
