Exhibit 10.1

AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This Agreement and General Release (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 30,
2012, is by and among Price W. Schwenck (“Executive”), THE JACKSONVILLE BANK
(the “Bank”) and the Bank’s parent corporation, JACKSONVILLE BANCORP, INC. (the
“Company”).

The Bank desires to provide for severance to Executive in recognition of his
service to the Bank and for his continuing service in preserving the Bank’s
reputation and customer relationships.

In consideration of the premises and agreements contained herein and other good
and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby
acknowledged, and Executive, the Bank and the Company, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Severance Payments. Beginning August 15, 2012, the Bank shall pay Executive
12 monthly payments of $10,000.00, followed by 12 monthly payments of $5,000.00.
All payments will cease at the end of this 24-month period. All such payments
shall be paid in accordance with the Bank’s standard payroll practices, and are
subject to, and shall be reduced by all federal, state and local state income
taxes, social security, and other deductions and withholdings required by
applicable law or regulation. Executive shall not be deemed an employee of the
Company or the Bank for any purpose, and shall not participate in any of the
Bank’s or the Company’s benefit, welfare, retirement, equity incentive or other
plans or programs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1,
to the extent the making of a scheduled monthly payment would violate applicable
law (e.g., because proper regulatory approval has not yet been received), such
payment or payments shall be delayed and made at the earliest date that the
Company reasonably anticipates that the making of such payment will not cause
such violation.

 

2. Stock Awards. Any stock options or other awards not vested at June 15, 2012
shall be terminated.

 

3.

Complete Release by Executive . As a material inducement to the Bank and the
Company to enter into this Agreement, Executive hereby absolutely,
unconditionally, completely, and irrevocably releases, acquits, discharges, and
waives forever and for all purposes and all respects the Bank and the Company
and each of their respective shareholders, creditors, directors, officers,
employees, agents, affiliates, representatives and their respective
predecessors, successors, assigns, heirs, legatees, and personal and legal
representatives, including, and all persons acting by, through, under or in
concert with any of them (collectively “Releasees”) from any and all complaints,
claims, promises, agreements, demands, actions or causes of action, suits,
rights, remedies, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees
and costs actually incurred), compensation and benefits, penalties, liabilities
and obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, matured or
unmatured, direct or indirect, consequential, contingent or noncontingent,
foreseen or unforeseen, including, but not limited to, rights arising out of
alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, or any covenant of

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  good faith and fair dealing, express or implied, or any tort, or any legal
restrictions on the Company or the Bank’s right to terminate employees,
including, but not limited to, wrongful termination, or any federal, state, or
other governmental statute, regulation, or ordinance, including, but not limited
to, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634
(collectively, “Claims”) that Executive now has, owns, or holds, or claims to
have, own, or hold, or that Executive at any time through the Effective Date
had, owned, or held, or claimed to have had, owned, or held, against each or any
of the Releasees from or in connection with or in any way related to Executive’s
employment with or termination from the Company or the Bank, or services as a
director to either of them, whether pursuant to any previous employment,
incentive, equity grant or option or other agreement, arrangement or
understanding Executive had or may have had with the Company and/or the Bank
(collectively, the “Prior Agreement”). The listing of specific types of claims
as set forth above is not intended to limit in any way the general,
comprehensive, complete, unconditional and irrevocable scope of this release
from Executive to the Bank and the Company.

 

4. Support and Non-Disparagement. Executive shall support the Bank in its
communities and with its customers, shareholders, creditors, directors,
officers, employees, suppliers and vendors. Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, publish, utter, broadcast, or otherwise communicate, directly or
indirectly, any information, misinformation, comments, opinions, remarks,
articles, letters, or any other form of communication, whether written or oral,
regardless of its believed truth, to any person or entity (including, without
limitation, current or former Bank or Company employees, officers, directors,
advisors, Executive’s potential and/or subsequent employers and coworkers, and
the Bank’s and the Company’s officers, employees, directors, customers,
suppliers, vendors, shareholders, creditors and competitors) that are adverse
to, reflect unfavorably upon, or tend to disparage any or all of the Releasees
or the business, services, prospects, or financial condition of any or all of
the Releasees, except as otherwise required by court order or subpoena issued by
a court or governmental agency.

 

5. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disclosure.

Metropolitan Statistical Area (the “Restricted Area”), as principal, agent,
trustee or through the agency or on behalf of any corporation, partnership,

collectively, the “Business”), (ii) control or beneficially own (directly or
indirectly) 5% or more of the outstanding capital stock or other ownership
interest (a “Principal Shareholder”) of any person or entity engaged in or
controlling any such Business other than the Company or Bank, or (iii) serve as
an officer, director, trustee, agent or employee of any corporation, or as a

  (b) During the Restricted Period, Executive shall not solicit any officer or
employee of the Bank, the Company, or any of their affiliates to leave their
employment, or any director of the Bank, the Company, or any of their affiliates
to terminate his or her service as such, or any director, officer or employee to
become a director, officer or employee of any other person or entity engaged in
the Business for any reason or otherwise interfere with any employment
relationships of the Company, the Bank, or their affiliates. In the event that
the provisions of this Section 5 should be deemed to exceed the time or
geographic limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall
be reformed automatically to the maximum time or geographic limitations so
permitted.

 

  (c) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that he has had, and as a director
of the Company and the Bank will have, access to certain confidential

the Company and the Bank understand and agree that the purpose of this Section 5
is to protect the Company’s and the Bank’s legitimate business interests, and is
not intended to impair or infringe upon Executive’s right to work, earn a
living, or acquire and possess property from the fruits of his labor. Executive
and the Company and the Bank acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this
Section 5 are not made in connection with any former services for the Company or
the Bank provided by Executive, but rather are intended to protect the Company’s
and the Bank’s interests. Executive hereby acknowledges that the restrictions
set forth in this Section 5 are reasonable and that they do not, and will not,
unduly impair his ability to earn a living.

  (e) In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of the
provisions of Section 5, the Company, the Bank, or any subsidiary or affiliate
of the Company or the Bank shall be entitled to an injunction or temporary
restraining order, without any requirement of a bond preventing Executive and
any others from disclosing or utilizing, or attempting to disclose or utilize,
in whole or in part, such Trade Secrets, and no bond shall be required of the
Company, the Bank, or any subsidiary affiliate in connection with their
enforcement of this provision. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting
or limiting the Company, the Bank, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company
or the Bank from also exercising any other available rights or remedies for such
breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, the recovery of
damages from Executive or others.

notice of revocation is not received by the Company by the close of business on
