duties and responsibilities of the Executive are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, which may be changed at any time by the Employer.

 3. Term and Termination. 
 3.1 Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect for the Term. While this Agreement remains in effect, at the end of the Initial Term, the
Agreement will be renewable for one (1) year periods thereafter, unless either the Executive or the Employer provides sixty (60) days prior written notice of their intent to terminate this Agreement. 
 3.2 Termination. During the Term, the employment of the Executive under this Agreement may be terminated only as follows: 
 3.2.1 By the Employer: 
 (a) For Cause, upon
a vote of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Employer’s Board of Directors, and upon written notice to the Executive pursuant to Section 1.5.1 hereof, in which event the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Executive
except for payment of any Base Salary due and owing under Section 4.1 on the effective date of termination and reimbursement under Section 4.5 of expenses incurred as of the effective date of termination; 







 (b) Without Cause at any time, provided that the Employer shall give the Executive thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice of its intent to terminate, in which event, and upon execution of a full and final release from Executive, the Employer shall be required to continue to meet its obligation to the Executive under
Section 4.1 for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of termination of this Agreement. Non-renewal of this Agreement, however, does not constitute termination without cause; or 
 (c) Upon the Disability of Executive at any time, provided that the Employer shall give the Executive thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
of its intent to terminate, in which event, and upon execution of a full and final release from Executive, the Employer shall be required to continue to meet its obligation to the Executive under Section 4.1 for six (6) months following
the termination or until the Executive begins receiving payments under the Employer’s long-term disability policy, whichever occurs first. 
 (d) In the event that the primary regulator for the Employer or CNB raises an objection to the Executive’s service as President of either the Employer or CNB pursuant to which the regulator requires the Executive’s removal from
his position as President, in which event the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Executive except for payment of any Base Salary due and owing under Section 4.1 on the effective date of termination and reimbursement under
Section 4.5 of expenses incurred as of the effective date of termination. 
 3.2.2 At any time upon mutual, written agreement of the
parties, in which event the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Executive except for payment of any Base Salary due and owing under Section 4.1 on the effective date of termination and reimbursement under Section 4.5 of
expenses incurred as of the effective date of termination. 
 3.2.3 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Term
shall end automatically upon the Executive’s death, in which event the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Executive’s estate except for payment of any Base Salary due and owing under Section 4.1 on the effective date of
termination and reimbursement under Section 4.5 of expenses incurred as of the effective date of termination. 
 3.3 Change of
Control. If there shall occur a change of control of CNB or the Employer (“Change of Control”), the Executive may be assigned such other duties or responsibilities as would be reasonably equivalent under the circumstances and
acceptable to the Executive in his reasonable discretion. During the first six (6) months following the effective date of a Change of Control but not after, Executive may be “terminated without cause due to a Change of Control.”
Alternatively, if Executive is retained but not given reasonably equivalent duties and responsibilities, he may resign within six (6) months of the effective date of the Change of Control expressly citing this reason in a written resignation.
If Executive has been terminated other than For Cause due to a Change of Control, Executive shall receive, in lieu of any payments pursuant to Section 3.2, and upon execution of a full and final release by Executive, a one (1) time payment
of 1.5 times the annual base compensation currently being provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. If the aggregate present value (determined as of the date of the Change of Control in accordance with the provisions of Section 280G of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) of the severance payment as described in this Section 3.3 and all other payments to the Executive in the nature of compensation which are contingent on a change in ownership
or effective control of the Employer or CNB or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Employer or CNB (the “Aggregate Severance”) would result in a “parachute payment,” as defined under Section 280G
of the Code, then the Aggregate Severance shall not be greater than an amount equal to 2.99 multiplied by Executive’s “base amount” for the “base period,” as those terms are defined under Section 280G of the Code. In
the event the Aggregate Severance is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Executive shall be entitled to determine which portions of the Aggregate Severance are to be reduced so that the Aggregate Severance satisfies the
limit set forth in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, if the Executive may exercise his right to terminate employment under this Section 3.3, the Executive may choose which provision shall be applicable.

 3.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason, the Employer shall
have no further obligation to the Executive or the Executive’s estate with respect to this Agreement, except for: (i) the payment of any Base Salary due and owing under Section 4.1 on the effective date of termination of employment;
(ii) reimbursement under Section 4.5 of expenses incurred as of the effective date of termination of employment; (iii) and any payments due and owing to the Executive under Sections 3.2.1(b) or (c), Section 3.2.2, or
Section 3.3, as applicable.

Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Citizens National Bank’s Board of Directors (the Employer) at least annually, and the Executive shall be entitled to receive annually an increase in such
amount, if any, as may be determined by the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of CNB (the Employer) based on its annual evaluation of the Executive’s performance.

schedule.

condition of reimbursement, submit verification of the nature and amount of such expenses in accordance with reimbursement policies from time to time adopted by the Employer and in sufficient detail to comply with rules and regulations promulgated
by the Internal Revenue Service. 
 4.6 Vacation. In accordance with the Employer’s policies, the Executive shall be

character or ceasing to qualify as Confidential Information or a Trade Secret. 
 In the event that the Executive is required by law to
disclose any Employer Information, the Executive will not make such disclosure unless (and then only to the extent that) the Executive has been advised by independent legal counsel that such disclosure is required by law and then only after prior
