4. Covenants Against Competition, Solicitation, or Disclosure of Confidential Information.

(a) Competition. In recognition of the considerations described in this Agreement, the Executive shall not, either separately, jointly, or in association with others, directly or indirectly, as an agent, employee, owner, partner, shareholder, or otherwise, compete with the Company or establish, engage in, or become interested in any business, trade, or occupation that competes with the Company in the financial products or services industry in any county in any of the States of the United States in which the Company’s business is currently being conducted or is being conducted when the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs. The Company and the Executive acknowledge that during the term of the Executive’s employment the Executive has acquired special and confidential knowledge regarding the operations of the Company. Furthermore, although not a term or condition of this Agreement, the Company and the Executive acknowledge that the Executive’s services have been used and are being used by the Company in executive, managerial, and supervisory capacities throughout the areas in which the Company conducts business. Executive acknowledges that the non-compete restrictions contained herein are reasonable and fair in scope and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company.

(b) Solicitation. In recognition of the considerations described in this Agreement, the Executive shall not (i) directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit any customer of the Company to accept or purchase financial products or services of the same nature, kind or variety currently being provided to the customer by the Company or being provided to the customer by the Company when the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs, (ii) directly or indirectly influence or attempt to influence any customer, joint venturer, or other business partner of the Company to alter that person or entity’s business relationship with the Company in any way, and (iii) accept the financial products or services business of any customer or provide financial products or services to any customer on behalf of anyone other than the Company. In addition, the Executive shall not solicit or attempt to solicit and shall not encourage or induce in any way any employee, joint venturer, or business partner of the Company to terminate an employment or contractual relationship with the Company, and shall not hire any person employed by Company during the two-year period immediately before the Executive’s Termination of Employment or any person employed by the Company during the term of this covenant.

(c) Disclosure of Confidential Information. In recognition of the considerations described in this Agreement, the Executive shall not reveal to any person, firm, or corporation any Confidential Information of any nature concerning the Company or the business of the Company, or affiliates. The covenant in this Section 4(c) does not prohibit disclosure required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or a subpoena from an appropriate governmental agency or disclosure made by the Executive in the ordinary course of business and within the scope of the Executive’s authority.

(d) Duration; no impact on existing obligations under law or contract. The covenants in this Section 4 shall apply throughout the twelve (12) month period immediately following the executive’s Termination of Employment whether or not the Company has engaged the services of the Executive pursuant to an agreement to provide consulting services upon the

5

Executive’s Termination of Employment with the Company. The twelve (12) month durational period referenced herein shall be tolled and shall not run during any such time that the Executive is in breach of this Agreement and/or in violation of any of the covenants contained herein, and once tolled hereunder shall not begin to run again until such time as all such breach and/or violations have ceased. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall have any impact on the Executive’s obligations as an officer or employee of the Company to refrain from competing against, soliciting customers, officers, or employees of, or disclosing Confidential Information of the Company while the Executive is serving as an officer or employee of the Company or thereafter, whether the Executive’s obligations arise under applicable law or under an employment agreement or otherwise.

(e) Remedies. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that remedies at law for the Executive’s breach of the covenants contained herein are inadequate and that for violation of the covenants contained herein, in addition to any and all legal and equitable remedies that may be available, the covenants may be enforced by an injunction in a suit in equity without the necessity of proving actual damage, and that a temporary injunction may be granted immediately upon the commencement of any such suit, and without notice. The parties hereto intend that the covenants contained in this Section 4 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county of each state in which the Company does business. If in any judicial proceeding a court refuses to enforce any or all of the separate covenants, the unenforceable covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purposes of that proceeding to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. Furthermore, if in any judicial proceeding a court refuses to enforce any covenant because of the covenant’s duration or geographic scope, the covenant shall be construed to have only the maximum duration or geographic scope permitted by law.

(f) Forfeiture of payments under this Agreement. If the Executive breaches any of the covenants in this Section 4, the Executive’s right to any of the payments specified in Section 5 after the date of the breach shall be forever forfeited and the right of the Executive’s designated beneficiary or estate to any payments under this Agreement shall likewise be forever forfeited. This forfeiture is in addition to and not instead of any injunctive or other relief that may be available to the Company. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that any breach of any of the covenants in this Section 4 shall be deemed a material breach by the Executive of this Agreement.

5. Non-Compete Payment.

(a) Payment. In consideration of the Executive’s covenant not to compete as described in Section 4 hereto and subject to the limitations outlined in Section 5(c) and Section 22, upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment for any reason, the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to the aggregate of one (1) times the annual rate of base salary then being paid to the Executive, plus one (1) times the average of the past three years cash incentive bonus pay, which amount shall be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly payments beginning on the first day of the month following the Executive’s Termination of Employment.

6

(b) Potential six-month delay under Section 409A. If, when Termination of Employment occurs, the Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and if the non-competition payment under this Section 5 would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and finally if an exemption from the six-month delay requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code is not available, the Executive’s non-competition payments for the first six months following Termination of Employment shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum on the first day of the seventh month after the month in which the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs.

(c) Death, Disability and For Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amounts are payable under this Agreement in the event of the Executive’s Termination of Employment as a result of death, disability or for Cause. Further, all payments under this Agreement shall cease upon Executive’s death.

6. Claims Procedure.

A person or beneficiary who has not received benefits under this Agreement that he believes should be paid shall make a claim for such benefits by submitting to the Administrator a written claim for the benefits. The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the claimant. All determinations and decisions made by the Administrator regarding claims for benefits under this Agreement will be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, the Executive and <his or her> or her estate and beneficiaries.

7. Return of Records and Property.

Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment for any reason, or at any time upon the Company’s request, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company: all Company and Affiliate records and all Company and Affiliate property in the Executive’s possession or the Executive’s control, including without limitation manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports, printouts, computer disks, computer tapes, source codes, data, tables or calculations, and all copies thereof; documents that in whole or in part contain any Confidential Information of the Company or its Affiliates and all copies thereof; and keys, access cards, access codes, passwords, credit cards, personal or laptop computers, telephones, PDAs, smart phones, and other electronic equipment belonging to the Company or an Affiliate.

8. Remedies.

Executive agrees that if Executive fails to fulfill Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation obligations set forth in paragraph 4, the damages to the Company or any of its Affiliates would be very difficult or impossible to determine. Therefore, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company at law, in equity or by statute, Executive hereby consents to the specific enforcement by the Company of this Agreement through an injunction or restraining order issued by an appropriate court, without the necessity of proving actual damages, and Executive hereby waives as a defense to any equitable action the allegation that the Company has an adequate remedy at law. The provisions of this paragraph shall not diminish the right of the Company to claim and recover damages or to obtain any equitable remedy in addition to injunctive relief to which the Company may otherwise be entitled. The Executive understands and agrees that the Executive will also be responsible for all costs and attorney’s fees incurred by the Company in enforcing any of the provisions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, expert witness fees and deposition costs.

None of the Executive, the Executive’s estate, or the Executive’s beneficiary shall have any right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, attach, encumber, or otherwise convey the right to receive any payment hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, benefits payable under this Agreement shall not be subject to the claim of any creditor of the Executive, the Executive’s estate, or the Executive’s designated beneficiary or subject to any legal process by any creditor of the Executive, the Executive’s estate, or the Executive’s designated beneficiary.

13. Amendment of Agreement.

This Agreement may not be altered or amended except by a written agreement signed by the Company and by the Executive. However, if the Company determines to its reasonable satisfaction that an alteration or amendment of this Agreement is necessary or advisable so that the Agreement complies with the Code or any other applicable tax law, then upon written notice to Executive the Company may unilaterally amend this Agreement in such manner and to such an extent as the Company reasonably considers necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with the Code or other applicable tax law.

The Executive and the Company further agree to waive any right to a jury trial with respect to any disputes regarding or arising out of this Agreement or the Executive’s employment with the Company. The Executive and the Company each acknowledge and agree that this selection of venue and waiver of the right to a jury trial is knowingly, freely, and voluntarily given, is made after opportunity to consult with counsel of their choosing about this Agreement and its provisions, and is in the best interests of each party hereto.
