REPUBLIC BANCORP, INC

REPUBLIC BANK & TRUST
COMPANY

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED OFFICER
COMPENSATION

CONTINUATION AGREEMENT

 

This
is an Amended and Restated Agreement originally dated as of the 12th
day of January, 1995 made by and between Republic Bancorp, Inc., a
Kentucky corporation (the “Company”), and Steve Trager (the “Executive”), who
is presently Chairman of Republic Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”)
(the “Agreement”), in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained
and in further consideration of services performed and to be performed by the
Executive for the Company and/or its subsidiaries.  As of the date of this Agreement, Bank is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. 
This Agreement, as so amended and restated shall supersede the prior
agreements and all amendments thereto, effective as of the date of its
adoption.  The Bank joins in this
Agreement to further accomplish the terms and objectives of this Agreement.

 

Recitals

 

A.                                   The Company considers the establishment and maintenance
of sound and vital management of the Company and its subsidiaries to be
essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders.

 

B.                                     The Company recognizes that, while not
anticipated, the possibility of a change of control may exist.  Such possibility, and the uncertainty and
questions which it may raise among management of the Company and its
subsidiaries may result in the departure or distraction of key members of
management to the detriment of the Company’s shareholders.

 

C.                                     The Company’s Board of Directors has determined
that appropriate steps should be taken to encourage key members of management
of the Company and its subsidiaries, such as the Executive, to remain in the
employ of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and perform their assigned duties
without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising
from the possibility of a change of control of the Company.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1 — Definitions

 

For
purposes of this Agreement, the following words and terms shall have the
following meanings:

 

1.1                                 Termination by the Bank of the Executive’s
employment for “Cause” shall mean termination
upon (A) the willful and continued failure by the Executive substantially
to perform the Executive’s duties with the Bank (other than any such failure
resulting from Disability or temporary incapacity due to physical or mental
illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to
the Executive by the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Bank Board”), which
demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Bank Board believes that
the Executive has not substantially performed his duties; or (B) the
willful engaging by the Executive in gross misconduct materially and
demonstrably injurious to the Bank or the Company.  For purposes of this definition, no act, or
failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless
done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without
reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best
interests of the Bank or the Company.

of the Company shall mean (i) an event or series of events which have the
effect of any “person” as such term is used in Section 13(d) and
14(d) of the Exchange Act, becoming the “beneficial owner” as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company or
the Bank representing a greater percentage of the combined voting power of the
Company’s or Bank’s then outstanding stock, than the Trager Family Members as a
group; (ii) an event or series of events which have the effect of
decreasing the Trager Family Members’ percentage ownership of the combined
voting power of the Company’s or Bank’s then outstanding stock to less than
25%; (iii) any person (including the Company or the Bank) publicly
announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which have
consummated would constitute a Change in Control, or (iv) the Company
Board adopts a resolution to the effect that a Potential Change in Control for
purposes of this Plan has occurred.  For
purposes of this paragraph, “Trager Family Member” shall mean Bernard M.
Trager, Jean S. Trager and any of their lineal descendants, and any
corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust the majority

immediately prior to the applicable Change in Control.

in the Notice of Termination, as defined in this Section 1.8 below; and (B) if
the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on
which a Notice of Termination is given; provided that, if within 30 days
after any Notice of Termination is given, the party receiving such Notice of
Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination,
the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is finally
determined, either by mutual written agreement of the parties, by a binding and
final arbitration award or by a final judgment, order or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal therefrom having expired and no
appeal having been perfected).

 

1.6                                 “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental incapacity of the Executive which
entitles the Executive to benefits under any long-term disability plan or wage
continuation plan applicable to him and maintained by the Company as in effect
immediately prior to the applicable Change in Control.

requirements of this Agreement;

 

(b)

(i) the failure by the Company to continue in effect any employee
welfare or pension benefit plans within the meaning of Sections 3(1) and 3(2) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (the “Plans”), in which
Executive was participating immediately prior to a Potential Change in Control
(or substitute plans, programs or arrangements providing Executive with
substantially similar benefits),

 

(ii) the taking of any action, or the failure to take any action,
by the Company which could (A) adversely affect Executive’s participation
in, or materially reduce Executive’s benefits under, any of the Plans, (B) materially
adversely affect the basis for computing benefits under any of the Plans, or (C) deprive
Executive of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by Executive immediately prior

death, for Cause or on account of Retirement or Disability pursuant to the
requirements of this Agreement;

 

(c)                                  the failure by the Company to obtain an

successor to the Company;

 

(d)                                 a reduction by the Bank in the Executive’s base
salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from
time to time, except as part of an across-the-board reduction of base salaries
applicable to all salaried employees of the Bank, provided the reduction (or
series of reductions) does not exceed 5% of the Executive’s base salary prior
to such change;

 

(e)                                  the relocation of the Bank’s principal executive
offices to a location outside the metropolitan Louisville area; or the Company’s
requiring the Executive to be based anywhere other than in the metropolitan

employment during the contract period which is not effected pursuant to a
Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 3 below; and
for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be
effective.

 

1.8                                 A “Notice of Termination”
shall mean a notice, from the Bank or from the Executive, which shall indicate
the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so
indicated.

 

1.9                                 “Plans” shall have the meaning given in Section 1.7(b).

or owned by the Company indirectly through another company which is
wholly-owned by the Company.

 

Section 2 — Application
of Agreement

 

This
Agreement shall apply only to termination of employment of the Executive during
a period (the “Contract Period”) commencing on the date immediately preceding
the date of a Change in Control and terminating on the second anniversary of
the date of that Change in Control; provided, however, that each such Change in
Control occurs during the period commencing as of January 1, 1995 and
terminating at midnight on December 31, 1998 or as further extended
pursuant to the following sentence.  At
midnight on December 31, 1998, and on each annual anniversary of that time
and date thereafter, such latter period shall be automatically extended for two
additional years, unless on or before such anniversary the Company notifies the
Executive in writing that it elects not to extend such period.  There is one Contract Period for each Change
in Control and there may be multiple Change(s) in Control.  With respect to a termination pursuant to Section 3.2
only, the Contract Period shall also include the period from and after a
Potential Change in Control.  If a
Potential Change in Control occurs but a Change in Control does not follow
within one year of the Potential Change in Control, the Contract Period shall
expire on the one year anniversary of the Potential Change in Control.

 

Section 3 — Termination

 

3.1                                 Procedure for Termination.  Any termination
by the Bank or by the Executive, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be communicated
by Notice of Termination to the other parties hereto.  The Executive shall not be 

 

 

deemed to have been terminated
for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than 51%
of the entire membership of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company
Board”) at a meeting of the Company Board called and held for that purpose
(after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive,
together with his counsel, to be heard before the Company Board), finding that
in the good faith opinion of the Company Board, the Executive was guilty of
conduct set forth in Section 1.1 and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail.

 

3.2                                 Termination for Cause or Before Contract Period.  Upon a
termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause during the Contract Period,
the Executive shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefits
hereunder.  Upon a termination of the
Executive’s employment without Cause during the Contract Period, the Executive
shall be entitled to receive the benefits provided in Section 3.4
hereof.  This Agreement shall not apply
to, and the Executive shall have no right to receive any compensation or
benefits hereunder in connection with, any termination of the Executive’s
employment by the Company other than during a Contract Period, and Executive
shall remain an “at will” employee until a Contract Period begins.

 

3.3                                 Termination for Good Reason.  During
the Contract Period, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate his
employment with the Company and, if such termination is for Good Reason, to
receive the benefits provided in Section 3.4 hereof.  The Executive shall give the Company Notice
of Termination of his employment pursuant to this Section 3.3, and
termination of the Executive’s employment shall be effective five business days
after the Executive gives notice thereof to the Company.  This Agreement shall not apply to, and the
Executive shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefits hereunder
in connection with, any termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Executive other than during a Contract Period. 
This Agreement shall not apply to, and the Executive shall have no right
to receive any compensation or benefits hereunder in connection with, a
termination of the Executive’s employment on account of the Executive’s death,
whether or not during the Contract Period.

 

3.4                                 Compensation Upon Termination.  If
during a Contract Period the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the
Bank other than pursuant to death or for Cause, or if the Executive shall
terminate his employment for Good Reason, then the Company shall continue to
pay, or the Company shall cause the Bank to continue to pay, for the remainder
of the Contract Period, the Executive’s Compensation in the same manner as if
employment had not terminated.

 

In
addition to the severance benefit set forth in this Section 3.4, the
Company shall, or the Company shall cause the Bank to:

 

(1)                                  pay as incurred or reimburse Executive for all
legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive resulting from termination
(including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting any such
termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by
this Agreement), as and when the Company is notified thereof, but in all events
within 21⁄2 months following the calendar year in which such amounts are
incurred; and

 

(2)                                  maintain in full force and effect, for the continued
benefit of the Executive for the shorter of (i) until the Executive’s
death (provided that benefits payable to his beneficiaries shall not terminate
upon his death), or (ii) with respect to any particular Plan, the date he
is afforded a comparable benefit at a comparable cost to the Executive by a
subsequent employer, or (iii) the remainder of the Contract Period, all
Plans in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the
Change of Control (unless Plans generally available to employees of the Bank
have been modified since the Change in Control in which case the Plans to be
continued shall be those in effect at the Date of Termination, at the level
most comparable to that available to the Executive at the Change in Control).  In the event that the Executive’s
participation in any Plan of the Company is prohibited, the Company shall
arrange to provide the Executive with benefits substantially similar to those
which the Executive is entitled to receive under that Plan, for such period.  To the extent such Plans or provisions for
comparable Plans constitute 

 

 

“deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code, the Company shall not delay or accelerate payment to vendors or third
parties for such coverage on Executive’s behalf, beyond the normal periodic
payment periods then applicable for the Plans for employees generally.  On the last day of the Contract Period (even
if enjoyment of a benefit ceases earlier as provided above), the Executive
shall have assigned to him at no cost and with no apportionment of prepaid
premiums, any assignable insurance policy owned by the Bank or the Company
relating specifically to the Executive, and, if benefits hereunder cease before
the end of the Contract Period, the Company shall use its best efforts, without
requirement to pay additional cash premiums, to maintain any such policy in
full force and effect until such time, or allow the Executive to arrange to do
so; and

 

(3)                                  cause all stock options and stock appreciation
rights and/or the rights held by the Executive with respect to stock in the
Company, immediately prior to the termination, if not otherwise presently
exercisable, to become presently exercisable.

 

3.5                                 Disability.                                          If during the Contract Period, the Executive’s
employment shall be terminated, either by the Bank or by the Executive, due to
the Executive’s Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive the severance
compensation provided for in Section 3.4 and the same benefits as set
forth in Section 3.4(1)-(3).

 

3.6                                 No
Mitigation.                  The
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided
for in this Section 3 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall
the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 3 be reduced by any
compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another
employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.

 

3.7                                 Delay
in Payments for Specified Employees.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3.4 hereof, if
the Executive is a “key employee” within the meaning of Section 416(i) (but
without regard to Section 416(i)(5)) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), as of the last identification date thereof and
determined in the manner provided in Treasury Regulation §1.409-1(i) when  the
Executive’s separation from service occurs, and stock of the Company is at such
separation publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise,
any non-409A exempt severance compensation payable pursuant to Section 3.4
and benefits in subsection (1) and (2) shall not be paid earlier than 6 months following the date
of the Executive’s separation from service. 
If the preceding sentence applies to the Executive, then the  severance, reimbursements and benefits
required by Section 3.4 and subsections (1) and (2) shall not be
provided until 6 months following the Executive’s separation from service,
unless such benefits or amounts do not constitute “deferred compensation”
within the meaning given in Section 409A of the Code.  For example, such benefits or amounts might
not be deferred compensation to the extent benefits provided can be excluded
from the Executive’s gross income as is reportable by the Company or the Bank
on wage reports, or if they would be deductible by the Executive under Code Section 162
or 167 (without regard to any limitations based on adjusted gross income), and
are provided or reimbursed prior to the end of the second calendar year
following the calendar year in which the separation occurs.  If a benefit cannot be provided or paid for
by the Company during the 6 month period following the separation from service
as a result of this timing restriction, the Company shall pay to Executive the
amount of compensation that would have been paid during the 6 months, as well
any amount he has expended for benefits during the 6 months delay, within 5
days after the 6 months delay period has expired, and shall pay or provide for
the reimbursements and benefits provided hereunder otherwise at the time and in
the manner provided in Section 3.4.

 

3.8                                 Meaning
of “Termination” or “Separation from Service.”  If and to the extent termination of
employment, or separation from service is required to trigger payment rights
hereunder, such phrase shall have the meaning given in Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-1(h) as reasonably interpreted by the Company. Specifically, these
phrases mean the date the Company and the Executive reasonably anticipate that (i) the
Executive will not perform any further services for the Company or any other
entity considered a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or
(c) of the Code (the “Employer Group”), or (ii) the level of bona
fide services performed after that date (as an employee or independent
contractor, except that service as a member of the board of directors of an
Employer Group entity is not counted unless termination benefits under this
Agreement 

 

 

are aggregated with benefits under any other Employer Group plan or
agreement in which Executive also participates as a director)  will permanently decrease to less
than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the previous
36 months (or if shorter over the duration of service).  The Employee will not be treated as having a
termination of employment or separation from service while on military leave,
sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the leave does not exceed six
months or, if longer, the period during which the Executive has a reemployment
right with the Company by statute or contract. 
If a bona fide leave of absence extends beyond six months, a termination
of employment or separation from service will be deemed to occur on the first
day after the end of such six month period, or on the day after the Executive’s
statutory or contractual reemployment right lapses, if later.

 

Section 4 — Miscellaneous

 

4.1                                 Successors Shall Assume.    The Company
will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company or the Bank, by agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company or the
Bank would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  Failure of the Company to obtain such
agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach
of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the
Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be
entitled hereunder if the Executive terminated the Executive’s employment for
Good Reason, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date
on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of
Termination.  As used in this Agreement, “Company”
shall mean the Company as defined in the preamble hereto and any successor to
its business and/or assets as aforesaid or which otherwise becomes bound by all
the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.  As used in this Agreement, “Bank” shall mean
the Bank as defined in the preamble hereto and any successor to its business
and/or assets as aforesaid or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms
and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

 

4.2                                 Binding Effect.                 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If the Executive should die while any amounts
would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if the Executive had
continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be
paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee,
legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive’s
estate.

 

4.3                                 Reduction of Amounts Payable.                      In
no event shall any amount payable under any provision of this Agreement equal
or exceed an amount which would cause the Company to forfeit, pursuant to Section 280G(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its deduction for any or all
such amounts payable.  Pursuant to this Section 4.3,
the Company’s Compensation Committee has the power to reduce severance benefits
payable under this Agreement, if such benefits alone or in conjunction with
termination benefits provided under any other Company plan or program, would
cause the Company to forfeit otherwise deductible payments; provided, however
that no benefits payable under this Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this
Section 4.3 to less than $1.00 below the amount of benefits which the
Company can properly deduct under Section 280G(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

4.4                                 Notice.          Any notice or request required or permitted to be
given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently

circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against him or
anyone else, except with respect to tax withholding required pursuant to Section 4.11.  All amounts payable by the Company hereunder
shall be paid without notice or demand. 
Except as expressly provided herein, the Company waives all rights which
it may now have or may hereafter have conferred upon it, by statute or
otherwise, to amend, terminate, cancel or rescind this Agreement in whole or in
part.  Each and every payment made
hereunder by the Company shall be final and the Company shall not seek to
recover all or any part of such payment from the Executive or from whomsoever
may be entitled thereto, for any reason whatsoever.

 

4.6                                 Modifications and Waivers.                                           No provisions of this Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to
in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer as may be specifically
designated by the Board of Directors of the Company.  No waiver by either party hereto at any time
of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition
or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be
deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same
or any prior or subsequent time.

 

4.7                                 Entire Agreement. No agreements or representations, oral or
otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have

any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.

REPUBLIC BANK & TRUST
COMPANY

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED OFFICER
COMPENSATION

CONTINUATION AGREEMENT

 

This
is an Amended and Restated Agreement, originally dated as of the 12th
day of January, 1995 is made by and between Republic Bancorp, Inc., a
Kentucky corporation (the “Company”), and Scott Trager (the “Executive”), who
is presently President, Louisville Region, of Republic Bank & Trust
Company (the “Bank”) (the “Agreement”), in consideration of the mutual
covenants herein contained and in further consideration of services performed
and to be performed by the Executive for the Company and/or its
subsidiaries.  As of the date of this
Agreement, Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  This Agreement, as so amended and restated
shall supersede the prior agreements and all amendments thereto, effective as
of the date of its adoption.  The Bank
joins in this Agreement to further accomplish the terms and objectives of this
Agreement.

 

Recitals

 

A.                                   The Company
considers the establishment and maintenance of sound and vital management of
the Company and its subsidiaries to be essential to protecting and enhancing
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

 

B.                                     The Company
recognizes that, while not anticipated, the possibility of a change of control
may exist.  Such possibility, and the
uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management of the Company
and its subsidiaries may result in the departure or distraction of key members
of management to the detriment of the Company’s shareholders.

 

C.                                     The Company’s Board
of Directors has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to encourage
key members of management of the Company and its subsidiaries, such as the
Executive, to remain in the employ of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and
perform their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially
disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a change of control of
the Company.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1 — Definitions

 

For
purposes of this Agreement, the following words and terms shall have the

Board”), which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Bank
Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed his duties;
or (B) the willful engaging by the Executive in gross misconduct
materially and demonstrably injurious to the Bank or the Company.  For purposes of this definition, no act, or
failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless

event or series of events which have the effect of decreasing the Trager Family
Members’ percentage ownership of the combined voting power of the Company’s or

of Agreement

Control occurs during the period commencing as of January 1, 1995 and
terminating at midnight on December 31, 1998 or as further extended
pursuant to the following sentence.  At
midnight on December 31, 1998, and on each annual anniversary of that time
and date thereafter, such latter period shall be automatically extended for two
additional years, unless on or before such anniversary the Company notifies the
Executive in writing that it elects not to extend such period.  There is one Contract Period for each Change
in Control and there may be multiple Change(s) in Control.  With respect to a termination pursuant to Section 3.2
only, the Contract Period shall also include the period from and after a
Potential Change in Control.  If a
Potential Change in Control occurs but a Change in Control does not follow
within one year of the Potential Change in Control, the Contract Period shall
expire on the one year anniversary of the Potential Change in Control.

 

 

Section 3 — Termination

 

3.1                                 Procedure for
Termination.  Any termination by the Bank or by the Executive,
pursuant to this Agreement, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to
the other parties hereto.  The Executive
shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there
shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted
by the affirmative vote of not less than 51% of the entire membership of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) at a meeting of the
Company Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to the
Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with his counsel, to
be heard before the Company Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of
the Company Board, the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in Section 1.1
and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

 

3.2                                 Termination for
Cause or Before Contract Period.  Upon a termination of the Executive’s
employment for Cause during the Contract Period, the Executive shall have no
right to receive any compensation or benefits hereunder.  Upon a termination of the Executive’s
employment without Cause during the Contract Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the benefits provided in Section 3.4 hereof.  This Agreement shall not apply to, and the
Executive shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefits hereunder
in connection with, any termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Company other than during a Contract Period, and Executive shall remain an “at
will” employee until a Contract Period begins.

 

3.3                                 Termination for
Good Reason.  During the
Contract Period, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate his employment
with the Company and, if such termination is for Good Reason, to receive the
benefits provided in Section 3.4 hereof. 
The Executive shall give the Company Notice of Termination of his
employment pursuant to this Section 3.3, and termination of the Executive’s
employment shall be effective five business days after the Executive gives
notice thereof to the Company.  This
Agreement shall not apply to, and the Executive shall have no right to receive
any compensation or benefits hereunder in connection with, any termination of
the Executive’s employment by the Executive other than during a Contract
Period.  This Agreement shall not apply
to, and the Executive shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefits
hereunder in connection with, a termination of the Executive’s employment on
account of the Executive’s death, whether or not during the Contract Period.

 

3.4                                 Compensation Upon
Termination.  If during a
Contract Period the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Bank
other than pursuant to death or for Cause, or if the Executive shall terminate
his employment for Good Reason, then the Company shall continue to pay, or the
Company shall cause the Bank to continue to pay, for the remainder of the
Contract Period, the Executive’s Compensation in the same manner as if
employment had not terminated.

 

In
addition to the severance benefit set forth in this Section 3.4, the
Company shall, or the Company shall cause the Bank to:

 

(1)                                  pay as incurred or
reimburse Executive for all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive
resulting from termination (including all such fees and expenses, if any,
incurred in contesting any such termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce
any right or benefit provided by this Agreement), as and when the Company is
notified thereof, but in all events within 21⁄2 months following the calendar
year in which such amounts are incurred; and

 

(2)                                  maintain in full
force and effect, for the continued benefit of the Executive for the shorter of
(i) until the Executive’s death (provided that benefits payable to his
beneficiaries shall not terminate upon his death), or (ii) with respect to
any particular Plan, the date he is afforded a comparable benefit at a
comparable cost to the Executive by a subsequent employer, or (iii) the
remainder of the Contract Period, all Plans in which Executive was entitled to
participate immediately prior to the Change of Control (unless Plans generally
available to employees of the Bank have been modified since the Change in
Control in which case the Plans to be continued shall be those in effect at the
Date of Termination, at the level most 

 

 

comparable to that available to the Executive at the Change in
Control).  In the event that the Executive’s
participation in any Plan of the Company is prohibited, the Company shall
arrange to provide the Executive with benefits substantially similar to those
which the Executive is entitled to receive under that Plan, for such period.  To the extent such Plans or provisions for
comparable Plans constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code, the Company shall not delay or accelerate payment to vendors or
third parties for such coverage on Executive’s behalf, beyond the normal
periodic payment periods then applicable for the Plans for employees
generally.  On the last day of the
Contract Period (even if enjoyment of a benefit ceases earlier as provided
above), the Executive shall have assigned to him at no cost and with no
apportionment of prepaid premiums, any assignable insurance policy owned by the
Bank or the Company relating specifically to the Executive, and, if benefits
hereunder cease before the end of the Contract Period, the Company shall use
its best efforts, without requirement to pay additional cash premiums, to
maintain any such policy in full force and effect until such time, or allow the
Executive to arrange to do so; and

 

(3)                                  cause all stock
options and stock appreciation rights and/or the rights held by the Executive
with respect to stock in the Company, immediately prior to the termination, if
not otherwise presently exercisable, to become presently exercisable.

 

3.5                                 Disability.                                          If during the
Contract Period, the Executive’s employment shall be terminated, either by the
Bank or by the Executive, due to the Executive’s Disability, the Company shall
pay the Executive the severance compensation provided for in Section 3.4
and the same benefits as set forth in Section 3.4(1)-(3).

 

3.6                                 No Mitigation.                  The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment provided for in this Section 3 by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 3
be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of
employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.

 

3.7                                 Delay in Payments for Specified Employees.       Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof, if
the Executive is a “key employee” within the meaning of Section 416(i) (but
without regard to Section 416(i)(5)) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), as of the last identification date thereof and
determined in the manner provided in Treasury Regulation §1.409-1(i) when  the Executive’s separation from service
occurs, and stock of the Company is at such separation publicly traded on an
established securities market or otherwise, any non-409A exempt severance
compensation payable pursuant to Section 3.4 and benefits in subsection (1) and
(2) shall not be paid earlier than 6 months following the date of the
Executive’s separation from service.  If
the preceding sentence applies to the Executive, then the  severance, reimbursements and benefits
required by Section 3.4 and subsections (1) and (2) shall not be
provided until 6 months following the Executive’s separation from service,
unless such benefits or amounts do not constitute “deferred compensation”
within the meaning given in Section 409A of the Code.  For example, such benefits or amounts might
not be deferred compensation to the extent benefits provided can be excluded
from the Executive’s gross income as is reportable by the Company or the Bank
on wage reports, or if they would be deductible by the Executive under Code Section 162
or 167 (without regard to any limitations based on adjusted gross income), and
are provided or reimbursed prior to the end of the second calendar year
following the calendar year in which the separation occurs.  If a benefit cannot be provided or paid for
by the Company during the 6 month period following the separation from service
as a result of this timing restriction, the Company shall pay to Executive the
amount of compensation that would have been paid during the 6 months, as well
any amount he has expended for benefits during the 6 months delay, within 5
days after the 6 months delay period has expired, and shall pay or provide for
the reimbursements and benefits provided hereunder otherwise at the time and in
the manner provided in Section 3.4.

 

 

3.8                                 Meaning
of “Termination” or “Separation from Service.”  If and to the extent termination of
employment, or separation from service is required to trigger payment rights
hereunder, such phrase shall have the meaning given in Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-1(h) as reasonably interpreted by the Company. Specifically, these
phrases mean the date the Company and the Executive reasonably anticipate that (i) the
Executive will not perform any further services for the Company or any other
entity considered a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or
(c) of the Code (the “Employer Group”), or (ii) the level of bona
fide services performed after that date (as an employee or independent
contractor, except that service as a member of the board of directors of an
Employer Group entity is not counted unless termination benefits under this
Agreement are aggregated with benefits under any other Employer Group plan or
agreement in which Executive also participates as a director)  will permanently decrease to less than
20% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the previous 36
months (or if shorter over the duration of service).  The Employee will not be treated as having a
termination of employment or separation from service while on military leave,
sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the leave does not exceed six
months or, if longer, the period during which the Executive has a reemployment
right with the Company by statute or contract. 
If a bona fide leave of absence extends beyond six months, a termination
of employment or separation from service will be deemed to occur on the first
day after the end of such six month period, or on the day after the Executive’s
statutory or contractual reemployment right lapses, if later.

 

Section 4
— Miscellaneous

 

4.1                                 Successors Shall
Assume.    The Company will
require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company or the Bank, by agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company or the
Bank would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  Failure of the Company to obtain such
agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach
of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the
Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be
entitled hereunder if the Executive terminated the Executive’s employment for
Good Reason, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date
on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of
Termination.  As used in this Agreement, “Company”
shall mean the Company as defined in the preamble hereto and any successor to
its business and/or assets as aforesaid or which otherwise becomes bound by all
the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.  As used in this Agreement, “Bank” shall mean
the Bank as defined in the preamble hereto and any successor to its business
and/or assets as aforesaid or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms
and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

 

4.2                                 Binding Effect.                 This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees.  If
the Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to the
Executive hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts,
unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if
there be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

 

4.3                                 Reduction of
Amounts Payable.                      In no event shall any amount
payable under any provision of this Agreement equal or exceed an amount which
would cause the Company to forfeit, pursuant to Section 280G(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its deduction for any or all
such amounts payable.  Pursuant to this Section 4.3,
the Company’s Compensation Committee has the power to reduce severance benefits
payable under this Agreement, if such benefits alone or in conjunction with
termination benefits provided under any other Company plan or program, would
cause the Company to forfeit otherwise deductible payments; provided, however
that no benefits payable under this Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this
Section 4.3 to less than $1.00 below the amount of benefits which the
