Except as set forth in Section 3(f) and Section 3(g) hereof,

retained by the Company.

 

8.                                           Indemnification.  (a) The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Taberna, Taberna Capital
Management, LLC, Taberna Securities, LLC, and their respective Affiliates
(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”),
each person, if any, who controls any of the Indemnified Parties within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the Indemnified Parties’
respective directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Indemnified Parties may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue statement
or alleged 

 

13

 

untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any information or documents provided by or on
behalf of the Company to any Indemnified Party in connection with the Exchange,
(ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to
be stated or necessary to make the statements contained in any information
provided by the Company to any Indemnified Party in connection with the
Exchange, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, (iii) the breach or alleged breach of any representation,
warranty, or agreement of the Company contained herein, or (iv) the
execution and delivery by the Company of the Operative Documents and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, and agrees to
reimburse each such Indemnified Party, as incurred, for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by each such Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,
unless it is finally judicially determined that the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Indemnified Party.  This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise
have.

 

(b)                                 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified
Party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any
action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, promptly
notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve the
indemnifying party from liability under paragraph (a) above unless and to
the extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying
party of material rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event,
relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party
other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) above.  The Company shall be entitled to participate
in the action and to the extent it elects to do so, assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.  After notice from the indemnifying party to
the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such action, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified
Parties in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation; provided, however, that the Indemnified Parties shall have the
right to retain separate counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Parties, unless (i) the
employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the
indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the
defense and employ counsel as required above, or (iii) the named parties
to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both (a) the
Indemnified Parties and (b) the indemnifying parties, and the Indemnified
Parties shall have reasonably determined that the defenses available to them
are not available to the indemnifying parties and/or may not be consistent with
the best interests of the indemnifying parties or the Indemnified Parties (in
which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the
defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Parties); it being
understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with
any one such action or separate, substantially similar or related actions in
the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys for the Indemnified Parties.  An indemnifying party will not, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be
sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Parties are actual or
potential parties to such claim, action, suit 

 

14

 

or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

 

9.                                           Representations and
Indemnities to Survive; Damages.  The respective
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of
the Company and/or its officers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement
will remain in full force and effect and will survive the Exchange.  Notwithstanding each party’s rights and remedies
at law or in equity, no party shall have any liability to any other party for
any special, incidental, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages,
including, without limitation, the loss of opportunity, use, revenue or profit,
in connection with or arising out of this Agreement even if such damages were
foreseeable.  The provisions of Sections
7 and 8 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this
Agreement.

 

10.                                     Amendments. 
This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented,
except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement by each of the
parties hereto.

receipt, and will be mailed, delivered by hand or courier or sent by facsimile

parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Nothing expressed or mentioned in this
Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the
parties hereto and the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and
controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof and their
successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, any right or obligation
hereunder.  None of the rights or
obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, without Taberna’s prior written consent.  The rights and obligations of the Taberna
under this Agreement may be assigned by Taberna without the Company’s consent;
provided that the assignee assumes the obligations of Taberna under this
Agreement.

 

13.                                     Applicable Law. 
THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW).

 

14.                                     Submission to Jurisdiction.

in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.  This Agreement may be

Executive under this Agreement or otherwise as a result of the Company's participation in TARP are sometimes referred to herein as the "TARP Provisions"). 

        B.    The
Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the Bank have each approved this Agreement and it is intended to be maintained as part of the official records of the
Holding Company and the Bank. 

        NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 

        1.    Definitions.    Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have
the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement. 

        2.     Effect of TARP Participation. 

        (a)    Basic Agreement re Effect of TARP Participation.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if
the compensation and benefits to be provided to Executive pursuant to the Agreement, or any portion or element thereof, or any other compensation, benefits or perquisites hereafter agreed upon by the
parties, must be reduced, delayed or otherwise modified in order for the Company to comply with any requirements of the TARP Provisions as interpreted and implemented by the Applicable Authorities
(the "TARP Requirements"), this Agreement and all such other compensation, benefits and perquisites and agreements relating to any of the foregoing shall automatically be deemed amended to cause the
Company to be in compliance at all times with the TARP Requirements. Executive and Company shall negotiate in good faith to document, by amendment or amendments to this Agreement or any other
agreements, plans or benefits, the modifications so required, but the parties' failure to reach final agreement shall not negate the provisions of this Section. 

        (b)    Agreements Supporting TARP Waiver.    In consideration for the benefits Executive will receive under the
Agreement and potentially as a result of Company's continued participation in TARP, Executive hereby voluntarily waives any claim Executive may now or hereafter have against the 

 

Company
for any changes to Executive's compensation or benefits that are required for Company to comply with TARP Requirements. This waiver includes all claims Executive may have under the laws of the
United States or any state, and include without limitation any claim for any compensation or other payments Executive would otherwise receive, any challenge to the process by which any of the TARP
Requirements were adopted and any tort or constitutional claim about the effect of any of the TARP Requirements on Executive's employment relationship with Company. Executive agrees to execute such
waivers and other agreements as may be required by any Applicable Authority in connection with Company's participation in TARP. 

        3.    Reaffirmation of Agreement as Amended; Conflicts.    All of the provisions of the Agreement, as amended by this
Amendment, remain in full force and effect. In the event that any express provision of the Agreement conflicts with any express provision of this Amendment, the express provisions of this Amendment
shall control. All references to the "Agreement" hereafter shall mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. 

        4.    Amendments.    No amendments to this agreement shall be binding unless in a writing, signed by both parties,
which states expressly that it amends the Agreement. 

        5.    Prior Agreements.    There are no other agreements between Company and Executive regarding the subject matter of
this Amendment. This Amendment is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous discussions, representations,
understandings or agreements regarding its subject matter. 

        6.    Assigns and Successors.    The rights and obligations of Company and Executive under this Amendment shall inure
to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Company and Executive, respectively, provided, however, that Executive shall not assign or anticipate any of his rights
hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, "Company" shall also refer to any successor to Holding Company or Bank, whether such succession occurs by merger,
consolidation, purchase and assumption, sale of assets or otherwise. 

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused the due execution of this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
