estate.

deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Bank from all liability with respect to such benefit.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Article 5

| | ----- | --------------------------



5



---

| | 5.1.3 | Fraud, disloyalty, dishonesty or willful violation of any law or material Bank policy in connection with the Executives employment.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5.2 | Suicide.No benefits shall be payable if the Executive commits suicide within two (2) years after the Effective Date of this Agreement, or if the Executive has made any
material misstatement of fact on any application for life insurance purchased by the Bank.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5.3 | Excess Parachute Payment.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the benefit payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement should
cause a parachute payment, as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, then such benefit shall be reduced One Dollar ($1.00) at a time until the payment will not constitute a parachute payment. In the event the benefit
Executive receives under this Agreement should be incorrectly calculated so that such amount constitutes a parachute payment, then Executive will promptly refund to Bank the excess amount. Excess amount shall mean the amount in excess of
Executives base amount, as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(3), multiplied by 2.999.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5.4 | Non-Competition Covenant.While Executive is employed by the Bank and during the period of time the Executive is receiving any benefit payments pursuant to this Agreement,
the Executive will not, for himself or on behalf of, or in conjunction with any other person or persons, company, partnership, limited liability company, proprietorship, trust, company, bank, financial services institution, or other entity, directly
or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, consult with, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, employment, management, operation, consulting or control of any financial services institution that
competes with Bank. In the event of any actual breach by the Executive of the provisions of this non-competition covenant, all payments under this Agreement payable to the Executive shall irrevocably terminate and no further amount shall be due or
payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement. The Executive specifically acknowledges that the restrictions as set forth above are reasonable and bear a valid connection with the business operations of Bank, and specifically admits that
Executive is capable of obtaining suitable employment not in competition with Bank. If any one of the restrictions contained herein shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration or geographical area, it shall be deemed amended
by limiting and reducing it so as to be valid and enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable state law as it shall then appear. Executive acknowledges that the Bank would not have entered into this Agreement without the non-competition
covenant contained herein. This covenant not to compete shall not prohibit the Executive from owning stock in any publicly traded company provided the Executives stock ownership is five (5%) percent or less of the issued and outstanding
stock of such publicly traded company and the Executive has no corporate responsibility other than the Executives rights as a stockholder.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|5.5 | No Duplication of Benefits.Each of the benefits described in Article 2 and 3 are intended to be separate benefits and mutually exclusive of the other so that once

provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect claimants claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of
