CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

 

THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of this _____ day of _______________, 2019, by and between United Bancshares, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Holding Company"), The Union Bank Company, an Ohio state-chartered bank ("Bank") and Stacy Cox (the "Employee").

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Employee is employed by the Bank; and

 

WHEREAS, the Bank and Holding Company recognize the possibility that a change in control of the Bank and/or Holding Company may occur and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of key management personnel to the detriment of the Bank, the Holding Company and their respective shareholders; and

 

WHEREAS, the Bank and Holding Company believe it is in the best interests of the Bank and Holding Company to enter into this Agreement with the Employee in order to assure continuity of management of the Bank and to reinforce and encourage the attention and dedication of the Employee to his assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disruptive circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Bank and/or Holding Company; and

 

WHEREAS, the Bank and the Holding Company has approved and authorized the execution of this Agreement with the Employee;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

 

1.         TERM. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on the date first set forth above (the "Effective Date"), and shall terminate upon the earliest of: (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement; (ii) the payment of all Change in Control Payments due to the Employee hereunder; or (iii) the termination of Employee’s employment under the circumstances described in Section 2 which would cause the Employee not to be eligible to receive a Change in Control payment hereunder; provided, however, that the Term as set forth subparagraph (i) above shall automatically be extended by five (5) years on each 5th anniversary of the Effective Date unless either the Bank or Employee gives notice to the other at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Term (as it already may have been extended) that the Term shall not be further extended.

 

	 	
			2. 

				
			CHANGE IN CONTROL PAYMENT.

			

 

a.     Cause for Payment. In the event that Employee remains employed by the Bank on the closing date of any transaction constituting a Change in Control, or if the Employee’s employment by the Bank is terminated during a 90-day period prior to the closing date of any transaction constituting a Change in Control for any reason other than: (i) Cause; (ii) Employee’s voluntary termination of employment without Good Reason; or (iii) the Employee's death, Employee shall be entitled to receive the Change in Control Payment from the Bank as described in this Section.

 

 

 

 

b.     Amount of Change in Control Payment. Except as otherwise required by subparagraph c. below, the amount of the Change in Control Payment to be paid to the Employee shall be equal to 1.50 multiplied by the Employee's Base Amount.

 

c.     Reduction of Change in Control Payment. In the event the Employee is to receive other compensation or consideration, including, but not limited to, bonus payments or acceleration of vesting of equity incentives, which would be considered a parachute payment under Code section 280G and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder as a result of a Change in Control resulting in a payment pursuant to this Section 2, the Change in Control Payment made pursuant to subparagraph b. above shall be reduced such that the sum of such other parachute payments and the Change in Control Payment do not exceed 2.99 multiplied by the Employee's Base Amount.

 

d.     Timing of Change in Control Payment. The Change in Control Payment shall be paid to the Employee at or simultaneously with the closing or consummation of the transaction which constitutes the Change in Control; provided, however, that in no event shall the payment be made any later than March 15th of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs.

 

3.       TERMINATION OF OTHER AGREEMENTS/AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement shall supersede any other agreement, oral, written, implied or otherwise, pertaining to the terms of employment of the Employee for the Bank and, if any such agreement previously exists, such agreement shall hereinafter be considered null and void. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or impair the Bank's right to terminate Employee at will.

benefit of Holders of the 2021 Notes, and the equal benefit of Holders of the 2024 Notes, as applicable, as follows: 

Section 1.    Fourth Supplemental Indenture. As used herein “Fourth Supplemental Indenture,”
“hereto’” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby” and similar expressions refer to this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and not to any particular Section or other portion hereof and include any and every instrument
supplemental or ancillary hereto or in implementation hereof. 
 Section 2.    Definitions in Fourth
Supplemental Indenture. All terms contained in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture that are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall, for all purposes hereof, have the meanings given to such terms in the Indenture, unless the context
