If Executive becomes entitled to Severance Pay under this Section, and subsequently becomes entitled to the Cash Payment under Section 7(B)(ii), the amount of the Cash Payment under Section 7 shall be reduced by the amount of Severance Pay already received by Executive under this Section 6, and no further Severance Pay will be payable under this Section 6.

(a)  Amount and Duration of Severance Pay. Subject to the other provisions of this Section, Severance Pay will consist of:

---



i.          Salary Continuation. Continuation of Executive's Salary for fifty-two (52) weeks following the week in which the Employment terminates (the "Severance Pay Period"), subject to required payroll withholding; and

ii.          Health Coverage Continuation. Reimbursement by the Corporation of expenses incurred by Executive to continue Executive's then current employee and dependent health, dental, and prescription drug coverage under COBRA during the Severance Pay Period, provided (A) that Executive elects and remains eligible for COBRA continuation coverage, (B) that Executive continues to pay the normal employee contribution for such coverage, (C) that the Corporation's obligation to provide coverage will end if Executive becomes eligible for comparable coverage from a new employer; and (D) that reimbursements under this Section will be made within thirty (30) days after the Executive submits documentation of the reimbursable expense, but may not be made after the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive's employment terminates; and

iii.          Outplacement Assistance. Reimbursement of up to $5,000.00 of outplacement assistance from an outplacement assistance firm selected by Executive and approved by the Corporation (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Expenses must be incurred under this Section by the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive's Employment terminates. Such expenses will be reimbursed within thirty (30) days after the Executive submits documentation of the expenses, provided that payments may not be made after the last day of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive's Employment terminates.

Executive will receive the Salary continuation provided in Section 6(a)(i) notwithstanding any other earnings that Executive may have, and subject to offset only as provided in Section 6(c). If Executive dies during the Severance Pay Period, Salary continuation under Section 6(a)(i) will continue for the remainder of the Severance Pay Period for the benefit of Executive's designated beneficiary (or Executive's estate if Executive fails to designate a beneficiary), and health coverage continuation under Section 6(a)(ii) will continue for Executive's eligible dependants for the remainder of the Severance Pay Period subject to the conditions in Sections 6(a)(ii) (A) and (B).

The Severance Pay due to Executive under Section 6(a)(i) for any week will be reduced (but not below 0) by: (i) any disability benefits to which Executive is entitled for that week under any disability insurance policy or program of the Corporation or any Affiliate (including but not limited to worker's disability compensation); and (ii) any severance pay payable to Executive under any other agreement or Corporation policy; (iii) any payment due to Executive under the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any comparable state statute or local ordinance.

7.          Cash Payment. The Corporation will make the payments provided for in this Section 7 if Executive's Employment is terminated during the term of this Agreement in a manner that constitutes a "separation from service" as that term is defined by Section 409A of the Code: (A) by Executive as permitted by Section 5(b) or (B) by the Corporation as provided in Section 5(a), and such termination of Employment occurs either (i) after the date of a Change in Control or (ii) within six months before the date of a Change in Control.

(a)          Amount and Payment of Cash Payment. The Corporation will make a cash payment (the "Cash Payment") to Executive in an amount equal to 2.99 times the Executive's Average Compensation (as defined below). The Cash Payment shall be paid to Executive in a single lump sum on the tenth business day after termination of the Employment. If Executive dies after becoming entitled to the Cash Payment but before it has been paid, the Cash Payment will be made to Executive's designated beneficiary (or Executive's estate if Executive fails to designate a beneficiary).

(b)          Average Compensation. As used in this Section 7 "Average Compensation" means (A) the sum of the Executive's Salary and cash bonuses for each of the most recent three complete calendar years of Executive's employment by the Corporation (or such lesser number of complete calendar years as the Executive has been employed by the Corporation) divided by (B) three (or the lesser number of complete calendar years for which the Executive has been employed by the Corporation). Average Compensation shall not include any amount, other than Salary and cash bonuses, included in Executive's taxable compensation for federal income tax purposes, such as the reporting of previously deferred compensation or gain realized upon exercise of any non qualified stock options.

(c)          Health Coverage Continuation. In addition to the foregoing, the Corporation will reimburse Executive for expenses incurred by Executive to continue Executive's then current employee and dependent health, dental, and prescription drug coverage during the period of time in which the Executive would be entitled to continuation coverage under COBRA, provided (A) that Executive elects and remains eligible for COBRA continuation coverage, (B) that Executive continues to pay the normal employee contribution for such coverage, and (C) that the Corporation's obligation to provide coverage will end if Executive becomes eligible for comparable

(d)          Reductions to Cash Payment. The Executive will receive the Cash Payment notwithstanding any other earnings that Executive may have and without offset of any kind except required payroll deductions.

8.          Gross-Up Payment.Within thirty (30) days following a payment to the Executive pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, the Corporation shall obtain a determination of whether any amount paid under this Agreement, either separately or in conjunction with any other payments, benefits and entitlements received by the Executive hereunder or under any other plan or agreement under which Executive participates or to which he is a party, would constitute an "Excess Parachute Payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and would thereby be subject to the excise tax, interest and penalties imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"). In such event, the Corporation shall pay to Executive, within thirty (30) days of such determination, but no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which Executive's separation from service (as defined by Code Section 409A) occurs, an additional cash payment (a "Gross-Up Payment"), in an amount equal to the amount of such Excise Tax, plus all federal and state income or other taxes, interest or penalties with respect to the payment of the amount of such Excise Tax, including all such taxes with respect to any such grossing-up amount. If, at a later date, the Internal Revenue Service assesses a deficiency against Executive for the Excise Tax which is greater than that which was determined at the time such amounts were paid, the Corporation shall pay to Executive, within thirty (30) days of such assessment, but no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the deficiency is assessed, the amount of such unreimbursed Excise Tax, plus any interest, penalties and reasonable professional fees or expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such assessment, including all such taxes with respect to any such additional amount, provided that in no event shall such payment be made until six (6) months following Executive's separation from service, if at the time of such separation from service the Executive is a specified employee as defined by Section 409A of the Code. The Corporation shall withhold from any amounts paid under this Agreement the amount of any Excise Tax or other federal, state or local taxes then required to be withheld. Computations of the amount of any Gross-Up Payment paid under this Section shall be conclusively made by the Corporation's independent accountants, or other independent accountants retained by the Corporation, in consultation, if necessary, with the Corporation's independent legal counsel. If, after the Executive receives any gross-up payments or other amount pursuant to this Section, the Executive receives any refund with respect to the Excise Tax, the Executive shall promptly pay the Corporation the amount of such refund within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Executive, on a grossed-up basis. If the Corporation deems it necessary or advisable to contest or appeal any assessment, or determination made by the Internal Revenue Service relating to the imposition of an Excise Tax as described herein (an "Excise Tax Contest/Appeal"), Executive covenants and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Corporation in connection with the Excise Tax Contest/Appeal; provided, however, that the Corporation shall be responsible for all professional costs and expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with such Excise Tax Contest/Appeal.

Any person or group (as such terms are used in connection with Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13(d)(3) and 13(d)(5) under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities;

ii.

iii.          During any period of 24 consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Corporation (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the Corporation's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least one-half of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; or

iv.          A merger, consolidation or reorganization is consummated with any other corporation pursuant to which the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or reorganization do not immediately thereafter directly or indirectly own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities entitled to vote in the election of directors of the merged, consolidated or reorganized entity.

(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no trust department or designated fiduciary or other trustee of such trust department of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, or other similar fiduciary capacity of the Corporation with direct voting control of the stock shall be treated as a person or group within the meaning of subsection (a)(i) hereof. Further, no profit-sharing, employee stock ownership, employee stock purchase and savings, employee pension, or other employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and no trustee of any such plan in its capacity as such trustee, shall be treated as a person or group within the meaning of subsection (a)(i) hereof.

10.          Definition of "Active Change in Control Proposal Period". As used in this Agreement the term "Active Change in Control Proposal Period" shall mean any period:

(c)          during which any proxy solicitation or tender offer with regard to the securities of the Corporation is ongoing, if the intent of such proxy solicitation or tender offer is to cause the Corporation to solicit offers for or enter into a transaction that would constitute a Change in Control.

11.          Confidentiality, Return of Property. Executive has obtained and may obtain confidential information concerning the business, operations, financial affairs, organizational and personnel matters, policies, procedures and other non-public matters of Corporation and its Affiliates, and those of third-parties that is not generally disclosed to persons not employed by Corporation or its subsidiaries. Such information (referred to herein as the "Confidential Information") may have been or may be provided in written form or orally. Executive shall not disclose to any other person the Confidential Information at any time during or after termination of the Employment, except that during the Employment Executive may use and disclose Confidential Information as reasonably required by the Employment.

Executive's obligations under this Section 12 shall continue in effect, as to inventions, discoveries and improvements covered by this Section 12, notwithstanding any termination of the employment or this Agreement.

13.          Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a)          In view of Executive's importance to the success of the Corporation, Executive and Corporation agree that the Corporation would likely suffer significant harm from Executive's competing with Corporation during the Employment and for some period of time thereafter. Accordingly, Executive agrees that Executive shall not engage in competitive activities (except in Marginal Business Areas, as defined in Section 13(e)) either: (A) while employed by Corporation; or (B) if Executive's Employment is terminated during the term of this Agreement, during the Restricted Period (as defined below). Executive shall be deemed to engage in competitive activities if he shall, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, (i) in Branch County, Michigan, or in any county contiguous thereto (including the municipalities therein), render services directly or indirectly, as an employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, partner or otherwise, for any organization or enterprise which competes directly or indirectly with the business of Corporation or any of its Affiliates in providing financial products or services (including, without limitation, banking, insurance, or securities products or services) to consumers and businesses, or (ii) directly or indirectly acquires any financial or beneficial interest in (except as provided in the next sentence) any organization which conducts or is otherwise engaged in a business or enterprise in Branch County, Michigan, or any of the counties contiguous thereto (including all municipalities) which competes directly or indirectly with the business of Corporation or any of its Affiliates in providing financial products or services (including, without limitation, banking, insurance or securities products or services) to consumers and businesses. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Executive shall not be prohibited from owning less than 1 percent of any class of publicly traded securities. For purposes of this Section 13 the term "Restricted Period" shall equal one (1) year, commencing as of the date of termination of Executive's Employment during the term of this Agreement.

(b)          While employed by Corporation and for a period of one (1) year following any termination of Executive's Employment during the term of this Agreement, Executive agrees that Executive shall not, in any manner directly (i) solicit by mail, by telephone, by personal meeting, or by any other means, any customer or prospective customer of Corporation to whom Executive provided services, or for whom Executive transacted business, or whose identity become known to Executive in connection with Executive's services to Corporation (including employment with or services to any predecessor or successor entities), to transact business with a person or an entity other than the Corporation or its Affiliates or reduce or refrain from doing any business with

---



(c)          While employed by Corporation and for a period of one (1) year following any termination of Executive's Employment during the term of this Agreement, Executive agrees that Executive shall not, in any manner directly solicit any person who is an employee of Corporation or any of its Affiliates to apply for or accept employment or a business opportunity with any other person or entity.

(d)          The parties agree that nothing herein shall be construed to limit or negate that common law of torts or trade secrets where it provides broader protection than that provided herein.

(e)          Activities by Executive that would otherwise violate Section 13(a) will not be considered a violation of this Agreement if such activities are conducted only with regard to a Marginal Business Area, defined as a line of business (other than banking) engaged in by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates but which represents less than 5% of the consolidated non-interest income of the Corporation and its Affiliates.

(f)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 13 shall not apply after termination of the Employment if Executive is entitled to the Cash Payment under Section 7.

(g)          If Executive's Employment is terminated during the term of this Agreement, the Executive's obligations under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

14.          Successors; Binding Agreement.

(a)          This Agreement shall not be terminated by any merger or consolidation of the Corporation whereby the Corporation is or is not the surviving or resulting corporation or as a result of any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation. In the event of any such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the surviving or resulting corporation or the person or entity to which such assets are transferred.

(b)          The Corporation agrees that concurrently with any merger, consolidation or transfer of assets constituting a Change in Control, it will cause any successor or transferee unconditionally to assume, by written instrument delivered to Executive (or his beneficiary or estate), all of the obligations of the Corporation hereunder. Failure of the Corporation to obtain such assumption prior to the effective date of any Change in Control shall be a material breach of the Corporation's obligations to Executive under this Agreement.

---



(c)          This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive shall die while any amounts would be payable to Executive hereunder had Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such person or persons appointed in writing by Executive to receive such amounts or, if no person is so appointed, to Executive's estate.

15.          Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, all notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or received by facsimile transmission or five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, certified and return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

No waiver by either party at any time of any breach or non-performance of this Agreement by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach or non-performance.

17.          Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. If a court of competent jurisdiction ever determines that any provision of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, all or any part of the non-competition covenant in this Agreement) is unenforceable as written, the parties intend that the provision shall be deemed narrowed or revised in that jurisdiction (as to geographic scope, duration, or any other matter) to the extent necessary to allow enforcement of the provision. The revision shall thereafter govern in that jurisdiction, subject only to any allowable appeals of that court decision.

18.          Dispute Resolution.

(a)          Arbitration. The Corporation and Executive agree that except as provided in Section 18(b) the sole and exclusive method for resolving any dispute between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be arbitration under the procedures set forth in this Section; provided, however, that nothing in this Section prohibits a party from seeking preliminary or permanent judicial injunctive relief, or from seeking judicial enforcement of the arbitration award.
