	A.
	Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 above, Employee shall be entitled to receive such Base Salary and other benefits as may be provided in this Agreement and as are accrued and unpaid as of Employee’s last day of employment. Such benefits shall include (except in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 9 D), Employee’s bonus equal to the bonus paid the Employee for the year immediately preceding the year during which termination occurs prorated based upon the number of days Employee was employed during such year.


		
	B.
	Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event there is a Change of Control of the Employer and Employee is terminated or compensation or responsibilities are diminished within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, Employee will be entitled to additional benefits. Change of Control shall be defined as follows:


		
	i.
	An event that occurs subsequent to the date of this Agreement, and


		
	ii.
	Whereby an Investor and/or Investor Group acquires or accumulates, through equity dividends, grants, stock options, purchases, inheritances or otherwise, inclusive of options to acquire stock in the future, fifty percent (50%) or more of the value or voting power of the Employer’s then issued and outstanding capital stock of Employer, or

	iii.
	Employer completes a merger or consolidation with another corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of Employer outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining securities outstanding or  by  being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty­ one percent (51%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Employer, or such surviving entity, as applicable, outstanding immediately after such merger.


		
	C.
	In the event that Employer undergoes a change of control, as outlined hereinabove, the Employer shall notify the Employee in writing within ten (10) business days following the change in control (the “CIC Notice”). If Employee is terminated or his responsibilities and/or compensation are reduced or diminished within thirty-six (36) months of such CIC Notice, the Employee shall be entitled immediately upon the occurrence of such event to the payment of the following additional consideration, in addition to all other compensation  accrued through the date of such event diminished only by an amount equal to the product of multiplying the sum required to be paid in (i) and (ii) below by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsed between delivery of the notice of Change in Control and termination, change in responsibility and/or compensation and the denominator of which is 36:


		
	i.
	To receive  an amount  equal to three  (3) times  Employee’s annual Base Salary at date of the CIC Notice;


		
	ii.
	To receive an amount equal to three (3) times the average of the Bonus paid to Employee during the three (3) calendar years immediately preceding the date of the CIC Notice;


		
	iii.
	To receive or have paid on  Employee’s  behalf  for  a period  of up  to eighteen (18) months following the termination date, all premiums for the continuation of Employer’s current  medical hospitalization insurance program;


		
	iv.
	To exercise all options (whether vested or not) to purchase such number of shares of Employer equal to the difference between the number of shares for which options have been granted and the number of shares previously purchased by Employee pursuant to the options described in Section 13 so as to enable Employee to acquire all shares optioned at the price set forth in Section 13;


		
	D.
	If the Employee and Employer agree, the employment relationship between the Employer and Employee may continue beyond the change in control date to a mutually agreed upon future date. Should such a mutual arrangement occur, the resulting terms and conditions of the future employment relationship shall be committed to writing and added as an addendum to this Agreement. With the exception of the specific provisions of this Agreement that are superseded by said addendwn, all provisions of this Agreement will remain in force until the conclusion of the employment relationship between the Employer and Employee.


Should this Agreement be extended beyond the change in control date, all payments of cash and vesting of stock will occur within ten business days following the change in control and termination within the provisions of Section 1O(C). Post employment insurance provisions will automatically be deferred to become effective upon the final date of termination of employment.
Notwithstanding the specific provisions as stated herein, all amounts to be paid to Employee pursuant to this Section 10 shall be paid, transferred or provided to the Employee by the Employer no later than ninety (90) days following the termination of this Agreement.
		
	11.
	Confidentiality: Employee acknowledges that in rendering services pursuant to this Agreement, Employee will have contact with and develop relationships with the customers of Employer. In all of Employee’s activities pursuant to this Agreement, Employee, through nature of Employee’s work, will also have access to and will 




4







acquire confidential information related to such customers and the business operations and policies of Employer. Employee acknowledges that all such information with respect to Employer’s customers, business, operations and policies is the property solely of Employer and constitutes the confidential information of Employer and at no time, even following termination of this Agreement, shall Employee disclose or otherwise, disseminate or use such confidential information, including the terms and conditions of this Agreement, without having first obtained the prior written consent of Employer.
		
	12.
	Non-Solicitation:   Employee irrevocably warrants, covenants and agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years following termination hereof, Employee will not within the parishes of Lincoln, Ouachita, Union, Claiborne, Jackson, Morehouse and Bienville together with any other parishes/counties in which Employer may then have a branch banking facility intentionally take any action of any kind, which will disturb or may or might disturb the existing business and/or relationship of Employer with any customer or other employee of Employer with whom Employee came in contact while employed by Employer including, but not being limited to the solicitation  of banking business from customers of Employer with whom Employee made or came into contact with as an Employee of Employer. The above provision does not limit or prohibit the Employee from taking any necessary legal actions, on his own behalf and independent of the employment relationship with the Employer, to protect his personal interest against any customer or supplier of the Employer.


Employee agrees that in the event of the breach of any of the terms and provisions of this Section 12, Employer shall be entitled to secure an order in any suit brought for that purpose to enjoin Employee from violating any of the provisions of this Agreement and that pending the hearing and decision on the application for such order, the Employer shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order without prejudice to any other remedy available at the Employer, all at the expense of Employee, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the Employer. Employee understands that the covenants of this Article are of fundamental importance to this Agreement, without which no agreement would be entered into by the Employer. The provisions of this Section 12 shall in no event be construed to be an exclusive remedy and such remedy shall be held and construed to be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights of remedies, whether in law or equity, otherwise available under the terms of this Agreement or under the laws of the United States of America or the State of Louisiana.
The covenants and agreements made by Employee in this Section 12 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against Employer whether predicted on this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Employer, by injunctive relief or otherwise of the provisions of the Section. The invalidity of all or any part of this Section 12 shall not render invalid the remainder of this Section or by any provision which shall be held invalid shall be revised such that it shall comply with any law or ruling with which it shall conflict, to the point at which shall be considered binding and enforceable.  No failure or failures on the part of Employer to enforce any violation by Employee of this Section 12 shall constitute a waiver of Employer’s rights thereafter to enforce all of the terms, covenants, provisions, and agreements herein contained.
		
	13.
	Option to Purchase Stock:


		
	A.
	First Option.  Employee shall be fully vested with an option to purchase Sixty Thousand (60,000) shares of common stock of Employer for a price of Sixteen and 50/100 Dollars ($16.50) per share. The options herein granted to Employee shall be exercised by Employee at any time on or after their respective vesting dates but in no event later than December 31, 2024, and the total number of shares which Employee may acquire pursuant to this Section shall not exceed Sixty Thousand (60,000). The options herein granted to Employee are personal to Employee and, except as provided for under Section 18, shall not be encumbered, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of. Such options shall be exercised by written notice delivered to Employer together with a cashier’s check for the respective purchase prices of stock in respect of the options being exercised. No option granted hereunder constitutes  an offer to purchase until Employee is provided with, or given reasonable access to full and fair disclosure of all material information relating to the business and affairs of Employer and the purchase of stock.




5







		
	B.
	Second Option. Effective October 1, 2011, Employee was granted an option (Second Option) to purchase up to Twenty-Five Thousand (25,000) shares of common stock of CTFC at an option price of Thirty-Five Dollars ($35.00) per share. Conditional upon the Agreement being in full force and effect and Employee not being in default hereunder, the option shall vest and become exercisable as to Five Thousand (5,000) of such shares as of the first day of January of each calendar year, commencing January 1, 2012 and continuing each January I during the term hereof until all option shares have vested. In the event of an IPO of CTFC’s stock during the term hereof, the entire option will be considered fully vested.


The Second Option herein granted to Employee may be exercised to the extent vested, in whole or in part, at any time on or after the vesting dates, but in no event later than December 31, 2030. Such option shall be exercised by written notice delivered to Employer specifying the number of shares in respect of which the option has been exercised, together with a cashier’s check for the respective purchase price of the stock in respect of the options being exercised. Alternatively, the notice may direct that Employer withhold from the common stock to be issued to Employee upon such exercise, shares of common stock of CTFC issuable upon exercise of the option with an aggregate fair market value equal in value to the full exercise price as to which the option is being exercised (a “cashless exercise”).
		
	C.
	Adjustment.  At any time, the remaining number of unexercised shares and related exercise price per share of the Employer’s common stock subject to the options as described herein, are to be adjusted ratably to reflect changes to the Employer’s total issued and outstanding common stock caused by Employer’s actions subsequent to the date of this Agreement so that the resulting number of unexercised shares, calculated as a percentage of total common shares issued and outstanding, and the related value of the exercise price per share, are equivalent immediately following the change as they were immediately prior to the change. Such events include, yet are not limited to, stock dividends, stock splits, and issuances of additional classes of common stock other than for cash, pursuant to a merger or pursuant to exercise of other options.
