GENERAL LIMITATIONS

11.1

Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trust shall forfeit any right to a benefit under this Agreement if the Bank terminates the Executive’s employment for cause. Termination of the Executive’s employment for “Cause” shall mean termination because of personal dishonesty, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order or material breach of any provision of this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank.

11.2

Removal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the benefit provided under this Agreement shall be forfeited if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”).

11.3	Competition after Termination of Employment. The Trust shall forfeit its right to any benefits provided by this Agreement if the Executive, without the prior written consent of the Bank, violates the following described restrictive covenants.

11.3.1

Non-compete Provision. The Trust shall forfeit any unpaid benefits under this Agreement if during the term of this Agreement, and before all benefits have been paid, the Executive, directly or indirectly, either as an individual or as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, consultant or independent

contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity (excluding an ownership interest of three percent (3%) or less in the stock of a publicly-traded company):

(i)

becomes employed by, participates in, or becomes connected ill any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other similar financial institution if the Executive’s responsibilities will include providing banking or other financial services within the twenty-five (25) miles of any office maintained by the Bank as of the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment;

(ii)

participates in any way ill hiring or otherwise engaging, or assisting any other person or entity in hiring or otherwise engaging, on a temporary, part-time or permanent basis, any individual who was employed by the Bank as of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment;

(iii)

assists, advises, or serves in any capacity, representative or otherwise, any third party in any action against the Bank or transaction involving the Bank;

(iv)

sells, offers to sell, provides banking or other financial services, assists any other person in selling or providing banking or other financial services, or solicits or otherwise competes for, either directly or indirectly, any orders, contract, or accounts for services of a kind or nature like or substantially similar to the financial services performed or financial products sold by the Bank (the preceding hereinafter referred to as “Services”), to or from any person or entity from whom the Executive or the Bank, to the knowledge of the Executive provided banking or other financial services, sold, offered to sell or solicited orders, contracts or accounts for Services during the three (3) year period immediately prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment;

(v)

divulges, discloses, or communicates to others in any manner whatsoever, any confidential information of the Bank, to the knowledge of the Executive, including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or prospective customers, of the Bank, as they may have existed from time to time, of work performed or services rendered for any customer, any method and/or procedures relating to projects or other work developed for the Bank, earnings or other information concerning the Bank. The restrictions contained ill this subparagraph (v) apply to all information regarding the Bank, regardless of the source who provided or compiled such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all information referred to herein shall not be disclosed unless and until it becomes known to the general public from sources other than the Executive.

11.3.2

Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any provision of these restrictions, the Executive recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement, the Executive consents to the Bank’s or any of its subsidiaries’ entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Bank’ or any of its subsidiaries’ rights hereunder and preventing the Executive from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. The Executive expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall he construed as prohibiting the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive.

11.3.3

Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration.

11.3.4

Change in Control. The non-compete provision detailed in Section 11.3.1 shall not apply if there is a Change in Control.

11.4
