    This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”), is entered into on ___________________________, by and between CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc., a Kansas Corporation (the “Company”) and
      _________________ (the “Grantee”).

     

    RECITALS:

     

    A.   Effective October 24, 2018, the Company adopted the CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, grant
      Restricted Stock to eligible Service Providers of the Company and its Affiliates.

     

    B.   The Grantee is a Service Provider of the Company or one of its Affiliates, and the Company desires to grant to the Grantee Shares of Restricted Stock of the Company on the terms and conditions
      reflected in this Award Agreement and the Plan.

     

    AGREEMENT:

     

    In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

     

    Section 1.   Incorporation of the Plan.  All provisions of this Award
      Agreement and the rights of the Grantee hereunder are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and the powers of the Committee therein provided.  Capitalized terms used in this
      Award Agreement but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in Plan.

     

    Section 2.   Grant of Restricted Stock.  As of the Date of Grant
      identified above, the Company grants to Grantee, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement and in the Plan, that number of Shares of Restricted Stock identified above opposite the heading “Number of Restricted
      Shares Granted” (the “Restricted Shares”).

     

    
       

      
        
 

    

    
      Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Award Agreement

       

    

    Section 3.   Restrictions on Transfer; Vesting Date.  Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Award
      Agreement or in the Plan, the Restricted Shares or the rights relating thereto may not be sold, transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, prior to the vesting date for
      such Restricted Shares identified below (the “Vesting Date”).  On the Vesting Date, such restriction on transfer shall lapse and the Restricted Shares, if not previously forfeited pursuant to Section 4 below, will become freely transferable under
      this Award Agreement and the Plan, subject only to such further limitations on transfer, if any, as may exist under applicable law or any other agreement binding upon Grantee.  Subject to any exceptions listed in this Award Agreement or in the Plan,
      the Restricted Shares shall become vested in accordance with the schedule set forth below:

     

    	
            Vesting Date

          	 	
            Percentage of Shares Vested

          
	
            October 24, 2019

          	 	
            100%

          

     

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee’s position as a Service Provider with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated by reason of the Grantee’s death or Disability, the Vesting Date for all of the
      Restricted Shares automatically will be accelerated to the date of Grantee’s termination as a Service Provider.

     

    Section 4.   Forfeiture Prior to Vesting.  Unless otherwise provided above, if Grantee’s position as a Service
      Provider with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated by the Company or any such Affiliate for any reason, prior to the Vesting Date for the Restricted Shares, Grantee will thereupon immediately forfeit any and all unvested Restricted
      Shares, and the full ownership of such Restricted Shares and rights will revert to the Company.  Upon such forfeiture, Grantee shall have no further rights under this Award Agreement.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, transfer of employment
      between the Company and any of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) does not constitute a termination of Grantee’s position as a Service Provider.

     

    Section 5.   Certificates.  The Restricted Shares shall be issued in the
      name of Grantee or a nominee of Grantee as of the Date of Grant.  To the extent that the Company elects to issue stock in certificated form, one or more certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall bear a legend substantially similar to the
      following, and stop transfer instructions may be given to the transfer agent for the Company’s Stock that are consistent with such legend:

     

    THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED SECURITIES AND SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS UNDER THE CROSSFIRST BANKSHARES, INC. 2018 OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND THE APPLICABLE
      RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO WHICH THE SHARES WERE ISSUED.  THESE SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO A RISK OF FORFEITURE AND CANNOT BE SOLD, DONATED, TRANSFERRED OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER ENCUMBERED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH PLAN
      AND AGREEMENT, COPIES OF WHICH ARE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF CROSSFIRST.

     

    Section 6.   Dividends and Voting.  Grantee is entitled to (i) receive
      all dividends, payable in stock, in cash or in kind, or other distributions, declared on or with respect to any Restricted Shares as of a record date that occurs on or after the Date of Grant hereunder and before any transfer or forfeiture of the
      Restricted Shares by Grantee, provided that any such dividends paid in cash are to be held in escrow by the Company and, such cash dividends and distributions are to be subject to the same rights, restrictions on transfer and conditions regarding
      vesting and forfeiture as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such dividends or distributions are paid at the time of payment, and (ii) exercise all voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares, if the record date for the exercise of
      such voting rights occurs on or after the Date of Grant hereunder and prior to any transfer or forfeiture of such Restricted Shares.  In the event of forfeiture by Grantee of any or all of the Restricted Shares or any of the equity securities
      distributed to Grantee with respect thereto, Grantee shall forfeit all cash dividends held in escrow and relating to the underlying forfeited Restricted Shares and must return to the Company any distributions previously paid to Grantee with respect
      to such Restricted Shares.

      shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Shares may be listed. The Grantee
      understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission, or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.

      Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address as shown in the records of the Company.  Either party may designate another address in writing (or such other method approved by the Company) from time to time.

      Stock or capital structure of the Company, if required, the Restricted Shares shall be adjusted or terminated in any manner as contemplated by the Plan.

      manner that is materially adverse to the Grantee only by a writing executed by the parties hereto which specifically states that it is amending this Award Agreement.

     

    Section 14.   Interpretation.  Any dispute regarding the interpretation
      of this Award Agreement shall be submitted by the Grantee or the Company to the Committee for review.  The resolution of such dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Grantee and the Company.

    Section 16.   Successors and Assigns.  The Company may assign any of
      its rights under this Award Agreement. This Award Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Award Agreement will be binding
      upon the Grantee and the Grantee’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to whom the Restricted Shares may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

    INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

    

    

    This Indemnification Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective as of January 2, 2019, is made by and between CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc., a Kansas corporation (the “Corporation”), and _________________
      (the “Indemnitee”).

     

    RECITALS

    

    

    A.   The Corporation recognizes that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to serve or to continue to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected
      by comprehensive liability insurance and indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to
      the compensation of such directors and officers.

     

    B.   The Corporation, after reasonable investigation, has determined that the liability insurance coverage presently available to the Corporation may be inadequate in certain circumstances to cover
      all possible exposure for which Indemnitee should be protected.  The Corporation believes that the interests of the Corporation and its stockholders would best be served by a combination of such insurance and the indemnification by the Corporation of
      the directors and officers of the Corporation.

     

    C.   The Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws require the Corporation to indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by applicable law (including applicable
      federal or state banking laws or regulations including, without limitation, 12 C.F.R. Part 359 or any successor provisions). The Bylaws expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and contemplate that
      agreements may be entered into between the Corporation and its directors and officers with respect to indemnification.

     

    D.   Section 17-6305 of the Kansas General Corporation Code (“KGCC”) expressly provides that the indemnification provided by Section 17-6305 is not exclusive of any
        other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement.

     

    E.   Section 17-6002(b)(8) of the KGCC allows a corporation to include in its articles of incorporation a provision limiting or eliminating the personal liability of a director for monetary damages
      in respect of claims by the corporation or its stockholders for breach of certain fiduciary duties, and the Corporation has so provided in its Articles of Incorporation that each director shall be exculpated from such liability to the maximum extent
      permitted by the KGCC.

     

    F.   The Corporation desires to provide the Indemnitee with specific contractual assurances of the Indemnitee’s rights to full indemnification against litigation risks and reasonable expenses
      (regardless, among other things, of any amendment to or revocation of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws or any change in the ownership of the Corporation or the composition of its Board of Directors) and, to the extent insurance is available,
      the coverage of the Indemnitee under the Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

    
      
        
 

    

    
    G.   The Board of Directors has determined that contractual indemnification as set forth herein is not only reasonable and prudent but also promotes the best interests of the Corporation and its
      stockholders.

     

    H.   The Corporation desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation free from undue concern for unwarranted claims for damages arising
      out of or related to such services to the Corporation.

     

    I.   Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve or to provide additional service for or on behalf of the Corporation on the condition that he or she is furnished the indemnity provided for
      herein.

     

    J.   This Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Corporation and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a
      substitute therefore, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

     

    AGREEMENT

    

    

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
      parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

     

    Section 1.   Certain Definitions. For purposes of this
      Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

     

    (a)   The term “Proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the
      giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, proceeding, or arbitration, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, appellate or arbitral, and whether formal or informal.

     

    (b)   The phrase “by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent
      of any Other Enterprise”, or any substantially similar phrase, shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any actual or alleged act or omission to act.

     

    (c)   The term “Expenses” shall be broadly and reasonably construed and shall include, without limitation, all direct and indirect expenses, costs or charges of any type or nature whatsoever
      (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, appeal bonds, other out-of-pocket costs and reasonable compensation for time spent by Indemnitee for which Indemnitee is not otherwise compensated by the Corporation or
      any third party, provided that the rate of compensation and estimated time involved is approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), actually and reasonably incurred by
      Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration or appeal of, or the giving of testimony in, a Proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, the
      Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, Section 17-6305 of the KGCC or otherwise.

    
      2

      
        
 

    

    (d)   The terms “judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, all direct and indirect payments of any type or nature whatsoever
      (including, without limitation, all penalties and amounts required to be forfeited or reimbursed to the Corporation), as well as any penalties or excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan.

     

    (e)   The term “Corporation” shall include, without limitation and in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation or any Other Enterprise (including any constituent of a
      constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, including for service at the request of such constituent corporation or
      Other Enterprise as a director, officer,  employee or agent of any Other Enterprise, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation or Other Enterprise, or is or was a director or officer of such corporation or
      Other Enterprise serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any Other Enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or
      surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation or Other Enterprise as if its separate existence had continued.

     

    (f)   The term “Other Enterprise” shall include, without limitation, any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan, its participants or
      beneficiaries.

     

    (g)   The phrase “serving at the request of the Corporation”, or any substantially similar phrase, shall include, without limitation, any service as a director or officer of the Corporation which
      imposes a duty on, or involves services by, the Indemnitee as a director, officer, employee or agent with respect to any Other Enterprise, including any employee benefit plan.

     

    (h)   A person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall
      be deemed to have acted in a manner “in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Agreement.

     

    (i)   The term “defense” shall include investigations of any Proceeding, appeals of any Proceeding and defensive assertion of any cross-claim or counterclaim.

     

    (j)   The term “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been,
      retained to represent:  (i) the Corporation or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements);
      or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct
      then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.  The Corporation agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel
      arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

    
      3

      
        
 

    

    (k)   The term “Change of Control” means: (i) an acquisition by any person (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))
      of beneficial ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities; (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute
      the Board of Directors of the Corporation and any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Corporation’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in
      office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved (other than directors elected to the Board of Directors as part of a threatened or actual proxy contest, including
      by reason of an agreement intended to avoid or settle any threatened or actual proxy contest), cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; (iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation involving the Corporation if the stockholders of
      the Corporation, immediately before such merger or consolidation, do not own, immediately following such merger or consolidation, more than eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the resulting entity
      in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of voting securities immediately before such merger or consolidation; (iv) the consummation of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; (v)
      approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation; (vi) the Corporation shall file or have filed against it, and such filing shall not be dismissed, any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings,
      or a trustee, administrator or creditors committee shall be appointed to manage or supervise the affairs of the Corporation; or (vii) the occurrence of any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to either Item 5.01
      of Form 8-K or Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form promulgated under the Exchange Act), whether or not the Corporation is then subject to such reporting requirement. 
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because fifteen percent (15%) or more of the then outstanding voting securities is acquired by: (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or
      more employee benefit plans maintained by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; or (ii) any entity that, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Corporation in the same proportion as
      their ownership of shares in the Corporation immediately prior to such acquisition.

     

    Section 2.   Indemnification.

     

    (a)   Subject to Sections 4, 6 and 8 of this Agreement, to the full extent permitted by applicable law (including applicable federal or state banking laws or regulations including, without limitation,
      12 C.F.R. Part 359 or any successor provisions), as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended (but only to the extent any such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation
      to provide prior to such amendment), the Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or a witness of, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding by reason
      of the fact that Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of any Other Enterprise, or by reason of any action
      taken or alleged to have been taken, or omitted to be taken or alleged to be omitted to be taken, in such capacity.

    
      4

      
        
 

    

     

    (b)   Subject to Sections 4, 6 and 8 of this Agreement, to the full extent permitted by applicable law (including applicable federal or state banking laws or regulations including, without limitation,
      12 C.F.R. Part 359 or any successor provisions), as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended (but only to the extent any such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation
      to provide prior to such amendment), the indemnification provided by this Section 2 shall be from and against Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in
      connection with such Proceeding, but shall only be provided if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
      Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

     

    (c)   Indemnitee shall be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct under the laws of the State of Kansas for entitlement to indemnification if Indemnitee’s action or inaction that is the
      subject of the Proceeding is based on reliance in good faith upon the records of the Corporation or upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of the Corporation’s officers or employees, or Committees
      of the Board or Directors, or by any other person (including, without limitation, legal counsel, investment bankers, accountants, auditors or appraisers) as to matters the Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or
      expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation.  The provisions of this subsection (c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be
      deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct under the laws of the State of Kansas for entitlement to indemnification.

     

    (d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, in the case of any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
      Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of any Other Enterprise, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
      matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas (the “Kansas Court”) or the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall
      determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses which the Kansas Court or such other court shall deem
      proper.

     

    (e)   The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did
      not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was
      unlawful.

    
      5

      
        
 

    

    Section 3.   Successful Defense; Partial Indemnification. To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 2
      hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.  For purposes of  this Agreement and without
        limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without: (i) the disposition being adverse to Indemnitee; (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the
        Corporation; (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Indemnitee; (iv) an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation;
        and (v) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, an adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect
        thereto.

     

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her service to the Corporation, a witness in any Proceeding to which
      Indemnitee is not a party, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection therewith.

     

    If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in
      settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the
      Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.  Any necessary determination regarding allocation or apportionment of Expenses
      between successful and unsuccessful claims, issues or matters shall be made by the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 4(a) to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.

     

    Section 4.   Determination That Indemnification Is Proper.

     

    (a)   Any indemnification hereunder shall (unless otherwise ordered by a court) be made by the Corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of such person is not proper in the
      circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2(b) hereof. Any such determination shall be made: (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the Proceeding in question
      (“disinterested directors”), even if less than a quorum; (ii) by a majority vote of a committee of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, even if less than a quorum; (iii) by
        a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote on the matter, voting as a single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that time parties to the Proceeding in question; (iv)
        if there are no disinterested directors, or if such disinterested directors so direct, by Independent Counsel; or (v) by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that following a Change of Control of the Corporation, any determinations, whether arising out of
      acts, omissions or events occurring prior to or after the Change of Control of the Corporation, shall be made by Independent Counsel selected in the manner described in Section 4(c).  Such Independent Counsel shall determine as promptly as
      practicable whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and shall render a written opinion to the Corporation and to Indemnitee to such effect.

     

    
      6

      
        
 

    

    (b)   If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 4(a)
        hereof and no Change of Control has occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 4(b).  In such case, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors and the Corporation shall give prompt
        written notice to the Indemnitee advising the Indemnitee of the Independent Counsel so selected.  Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Corporation, as the case may be, a
        written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1 of this
        Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.  Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel.  If a written objection is made in proper form, the
        Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written
        request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Corporation or Indemnitee may petition the Kansas Court or a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution
        of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Corporation’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall
        designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 4(a) hereof.  The Corporation shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent
        Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, and the Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 4(b) regardless of the manner in which
        such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

     

    (c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Change of Control has occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be
        selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors) and Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice to the Corporation advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. 
        The Corporation may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted
        only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such
        assertion.  Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel.  If a written objection is made in proper form, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such
        objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel
        shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Corporation or Indemnitee may petition the Kansas Court or a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Corporation to the Indemnitee’s
        selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the
        person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 4(a) hereof.  The Corporation shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to
        Section 4(a) hereof, and the Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 4(c) regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

    Section 5.   Advance Payment of Expenses; Notification and Defense of Claim.

     

    (a)   In the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section 5(c) of any Proceeding of which the Corporation receives notice under this Agreement, any Expenses incurred by
      Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding, or in connection with an enforcement action pursuant to Section 6(b), shall be paid by the Corporation to Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding as soon as practicable but in any event
      no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by the Corporation of: (i) a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such
      Expenses; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall not be required to provide any documentation or information to the extent that the provision thereof would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege); and (ii) an undertaking by or on behalf of
      Indemnitee to repay such amount or amounts, only if, and to the extent that, there is a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
      Corporation as authorized by this Agreement or otherwise.  Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment. Advances shall be unsecured and interest-free.  Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, the obligation of the Corporation to advance Expenses pursuant to this Section 5, its Articles of Incorporation, its Bylaws or otherwise, shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Corporation determines,
      in accordance with the procedures, indemnification and evidentiary standards, presumptions, burdens of proof and other applicable provisions set forth herein, that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law (including
      applicable federal or state banking laws or regulations including, without limitation, 12 C.F.R. Part 359 or any successor provisions), the Corporation may terminate further advances of Expenses and shall be reimbursed within sixty (60) days of such
      determination, by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Corporation) for such amounts previously paid by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 5; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal
      proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Corporation that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable
      law shall not be binding and the Corporation shall continue to advance Expenses as provided herein and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Corporation for any advance of Expenses until a final judicial determination is made with respect
      thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed).

     

    (b)   Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim thereof is to be made against the Corporation hereunder, notify the Corporation
      of the commencement thereof.  The failure to promptly notify the Corporation of the commencement of the Proceeding, or Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, will not relieve the Corporation from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee
      hereunder, except to the extent the Corporation is prejudiced in its defense of such Proceeding as a result of such failure.

    
      8

      
        
 

    

    (c)   In the event the Corporation shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of Indemnitee with respect to a Proceeding as provided in this Agreement, its Articles of Incorporation, its Bylaws or
      otherwise, the Corporation, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so.  After delivery of
      such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect
      to the same Proceeding, provided that: (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (1) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized in
      writing by the Corporation, (2) counsel to the Corporation or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position, or reasonably believes that a conflict is likely to arise, on any significant issue between
      the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, (3) after a Change of Control, the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the Independent Counsel or (4) the Corporation shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to
      assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement.  The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of
      Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the Corporation or Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (2) of the proviso in the
      immediately preceding sentence.

     

    (d)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s corporate status with respect to the Corporation or any Other
      Enterprise which Indemnitee is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation, a witness or otherwise participates in any Proceeding at a time when Indemnitee is not a party in the Proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify
      Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

     

    Section 6.   Procedure for Indemnification.

     

    (a)   To obtain indemnification (other than as provided otherwise herein) under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith
      such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.  The Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request
      for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

    
      9

      
        
 

    

    (b)   The determination whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request (whether made by the Board of Directors or one of its committees, Independent Counsel, or the Corporation’s stockholders)
      shall be made promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) days following receipt of a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a). The right to indemnification as granted by Section 2 of this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in
      any court of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or fails to respond within such sixty-day (60) period.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the
      advance of Expenses under Section 5 hereof where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation and the other conditions of Section 5 hereof have been satisfied) that Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct set forth in
      Section 2 hereof, but the burden of proving such defense by clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its Independent Counsel, and its
      stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 hereof, nor the
      fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its Independent Counsel, and its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a
      defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.  The Indemnitee’s Expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or
      in part, in any such Proceeding or otherwise shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

     

    (c)   The Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement upon submission of a request for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6, and the Corporation shall
      have the burden of proof in overcoming that presumption in reaching a determination contrary to that presumption.  Such presumption shall be used as a basis for a determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the Corporation overcomes such
      presumption by clear and convincing evidence.

     

    (d)   The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Corporation shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to
      indemnification under this Agreement.

     

    Section 7.   Insurance and Subrogation.

     

    (a)   So long as Indemnitee shall continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation, or shall continue at the request of the Corporation to serve as a director or officer, employee or
      agent of any Other Enterprise, and thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible claim or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of
      the Corporation, or is or was serving in any of said other capacities at the request of the Corporation, the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost
      thereof) to continue to maintain in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to the provided by the Corporation’s current policies of directors’
      and officers’ liability insurance.  In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Corporation, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are
      provided to the most favorably insured of the Corporation’s directors, if Indemnitee is a director, or of the Corporation’s officers, if Indemnitee is an officer (and not a director) by such policy.  Upon request, the Corporation will provide to
      Indemnitee copies of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials.

    
      10

      
        
 

    

    (b)   If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Corporation has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the Corporation shall give prompt
      notice of the commencement of such claim, and any Proceeding in which such claim is asserted, to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable
      action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such claim or Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.  The failure or refusal of any such insurer to pay any such amount shall not
      affect or impair the obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement.

     

    (c)   In the event of any payment by the Corporation under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee with respect
      to any insurance policy, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights in accordance
      with the terms of such insurance policy.  The Corporation shall pay or reimburse all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.

     

    (d)   The Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, Expenses, judgments, fines, ERISA excise
      taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or
      otherwise.

     

    (e)   The Corporation’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any
      Other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such Other Enterprise.

     

    Section 8.   Limitation on Indemnification.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement:

     

    (a)   Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee, except with respect to a Proceeding
      brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification (which shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and 8(b) of this Agreement), unless such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of
      the Corporation or the Proceeding was commenced following a Change of Control.

    
      11

      
        
 

    

    (b)   Action for Indemnification. To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this
      Agreement, unless Indemnitee is successful in establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification in such Proceeding, in whole or in part, or unless and to the extent that the court in such Proceeding shall determine that, despite Indemnitee’s failure
      to establish his or her right to indemnification, Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity for such Expenses; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8(b) is intended to limit the Corporation’s obligation with respect to the advancement of
      Expenses to Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, as provided in Section 5 hereof.

     

    (c)   Claims Prohibited by Law.  To indemnify Indemnitee if a court of competent jurisdiction or any regulatory authority determines that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

     

    (d)   Certain Statutory Violations. To indemnify Indemnitee on account of any Proceeding with respect to which final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for (i) payment or an accounting of
      profits arising from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute, or (ii) any reimbursement of the Corporation by the Indemnitee of any bonus or other
      incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by the Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Corporation, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements pursuant to Section 304 of
      the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), Section 10D of the Exchange Act added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any rules or regulations implementing the foregoing, or the payment to the
      Corporation of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act).

     

    (e)   Non-compete and Non-disclosure.  To indemnify Indemnitee in connection with Proceedings or claims involving the enforcement of non-compete and/or non-disclosure agreements or the
      non-compete and/or non-disclosure provisions of employment, consulting or similar agreements the Indemnitee may be a party to with the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation or any Other Enterprise.

     

    Section 9.   Mutual Acknowledgement.  Both the Corporation and the Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Corporation from
      indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise.  The Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Corporation has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Corporation’s right under public policy to indemnify the Indemnitee.

     

    Section 10.   Certain Settlement Provisions.  The Corporation shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding without the
      Corporation’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that if a Change of Control has occurred,
      the Corporation shall be liable for indemnification of Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Independent Counsel has approved the settlement.  The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any fine or
      other obligation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

    
      12

      
        
 

    

    Section 11.   Savings Clause. If any provision or provisions
      of this Agreement shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any Proceeding,
      including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

     

    Section 12.   Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for herein is held by a court of competent
      jurisdiction to be unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part, it is agreed that, in such event, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, contribute to the payment of Indemnitee’s Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid
      in settlement with respect to any Proceeding, or any claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, in an amount that is just and equitable in the circumstances, taking into account, among other things, contributions by other directors and officers of
      the Corporation or others pursuant to indemnification agreements or otherwise; provided, that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such contribution shall not be required where such holding by the court is due to: (i) the failure of
      Indemnitee to meet the standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 hereof; or (ii) any limitation on indemnification set forth in Section 7(d), 8, 9 or 10 hereof.

     

    Section 13.   Form and Delivery of Communications.  All
      notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given:  (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) if sent via facsimile, upon confirmation of facsimile
      transfer or, if sent via electronic mail, upon confirmation of delivery when directed to the relevant electronic mail address, if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, or if not sent during normal business hours of the recipient, then
      on the recipient’s next business day; (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying
      next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.  All communications shall be sent to the address, facsimile number or electronic mail address set forth below, or to such other address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as may have
      been furnished hereafter to Indemnitee by the Corporation or to the Corporation by Indemnitee, as the case may be.

    If to Indemnitee:

    

    

    Section 14.   Nonexclusivity.  Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions for indemnification, advancement of Expenses and contribution set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed
      exclusive of any other rights which Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, in any court in which a Proceeding is brought, the vote of the Corporation’s stockholders or disinterested
      directors, other agreements or otherwise, and Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased acting as a director or officer of the Corporation, or ceased serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee
      or agent of any Other Enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of Indemnitee.  However, no amendment or alteration of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or any
      other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement.

     

    Section 15.   Enforcement.  The Corporation shall be
      precluded from asserting in any judicial Proceeding that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable.  The Corporation agrees that its obligations set forth in this Agreement are unique and special, and
      that failure of the Corporation to comply with the provisions of this Agreement will cause irreparable and irremediable injury to Indemnitee, for which a remedy at law will be inadequate.  As a result, in addition to any other right or remedy
      Indemnitee may have at law or in equity with respect to breach of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to injunctive or mandatory relief directing specific performance by the Corporation of its obligations under this Agreement.

     

    Section 16.   Interpretation of Agreement.  It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification of, and advancement
      of Expenses and contribution to, Indemnitee to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by applicable law (including applicable federal or state banking laws or regulations including, without limitation, 12 C.F.R. Part 359 or any successor
      provisions).

     

    Section 17.   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the
      documents expressly referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby, and any other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements with respect to the
      matters covered hereby are expressly superseded by this Agreement.

     

    Section 18.   Modification and Waiver.  No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any
      of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

    Section 19.   Successor and Assigns.  All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and
      their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.  The Corporation shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
      substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that
      the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent of fiduciary (as applicable) of
      the Corporation or of any Other Enterprise.

     

    Section 20.   Service of Process and Venue.  For purposes of any Proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the Corporation and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) agree that
      any Proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Kansas Court, and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country; (ii) consent to submit to the
      exclusive jurisdiction of the Kansas Court for purposes of any Proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) irrevocably appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Kansas,
      The Corporation Company, Inc. as its agent in the State of Kansas as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such Proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party
      personally within the State of Kansas; (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in the Kansas Court; and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such Proceeding brought in the Kansas Court has
      been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

     

    Section 21.   Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and construed according to the laws of the State of Kansas, as applied to contracts between Kansas residents
      entered into and to be performed entirely within Kansas.  If a court of competent jurisdiction shall make a final determination that the provisions of the law of any state other than Kansas govern indemnification of, or advancement of Expenses or
      contribution to, its officers and directors by the Corporation, then the indemnification, advancement of Expenses and contribution provided under this Agreement shall in all instances be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under such law,
      notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary.

     

    Section 22.   Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to employment or continued employment.

     

    Section 23.   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and
      the same instrument, notwithstanding that both parties are not signatories to the original or same counterpart.

     

    Section 24.   Headings. The section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
      Agreement.

    
      15

      
        
 

    

    Section 25.   Section 409A. It is intended that any indemnification payment or advancement of Expenses made hereunder shall be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
      amended, and the guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”) pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(10).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any indemnification payment or advancement of Expenses made hereunder shall be determined to be
      “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, then: (i) the amount of the indemnification payment or advancement of Expenses during one taxable year shall not affect the amount of the indemnification payments or advancement
      of Expenses during any other taxable year; (ii) the indemnification payments or advancement of Expenses must be made on or before the last day of the Indemnitee’s taxable year following the year in which the expense was incurred; and (iii) the right
      to indemnification payments or advancement of Expenses hereunder is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

     

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the parties hereto to be effective as of the date first above written.
