8.            Termination Without Cause. The President
and CEO may, at his discretion, terminate Executive's duties and responsibilities as Senior Vice President, Compliance and BSA

to the President and CEO at least ninety (90) days written notice of his decision to so terminate this Agreement. Executive shall
continue to render his services and be paid his current base annual salary during the period up to the date of termination. At
the conclusion of that ninety (90) day period of notice, all rights, duties and obligations under this contract shall terminate,
except for those provided for in Section 10.

to seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for any breach, or threatened breach, of any such covenants by

the conclusion or termination of any such breach and any such litigation. The remedies set forth in this Section are cumulative
and in addition to any and all other remedies available to Bank at law or in equity.



 


(f) In the event that there is a conflict between
the terms and conditions of this Section and the terms and conditions of any other section of this Agreement, the terms and conditions
of this Section 10 shall prevail.
