with the terms of the Bank’s executive incentive plans.  Except where termination follows a change in
control, as defined in Employee’s Change in Control Agreement, Employee shall

1986, as amended (or a successor provision), the payments described above shall
be delayed until the first day following the sixth month anniversary of the
Employee’s termination, and the first payment shall include the six total
amount of the six delayed payments plus the seventh monthly payment.  (Payments under this subparagraph will be
conditioned upon compliance with paragraph 6 below — Agreement Not to Compete —

period of one (1) year after termination of this agreement by the Employee or
by the Bank “without cause” per paragraph 5(b), he/she will not:  either directly or indirectly, on the
Employee’s own behalf or as a partner, officer, employee, consultant,
stockholder (except by ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding stock of a
publicly held corporation, or the ownership does not involve any managerial or
operation responsibility), director or trustee of any person, firm, or
corporation or otherwise, engage in or assist others to engage in any business,

8.     Confidential Information.

Employee
acknowledges that as a result of employment with the Bank (he or she) has
access to and knowledge of confidential, trade secret and proprietary
information of the Bank.  In exchange for
the consideration set forth herein and for the consideration set forth in the
Change-in-Control Agreement contemporaneously executed, Employee agrees not to
disclose to anyone inside or outside the Bank or use for (his or her) own
benefit or the benefit of others, any of this information without the express
written consent of the Bank.  Employee
acknowledges an unauthorized disclosure or use of this information would be
unfair and would cause the Bank irreparable harm.

9.     No Assignments.

This
Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and neither party may
assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder without first
obtaining the written consent of the other party; provided, however, that the

purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of
the business and/or assets of Bank, by an assumption agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Employee in (his or her) sole discretion, to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform it if no such
succession or assignment had taken place. 
Failure of the Bank to obtain such an assumption agreement prior to the
effective date of any such succession or assignment shall be a breach of this
Agreement.

10.  Notice.

For the purposes
of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first

Secretary of the Bank), or to such other address as either party may have
furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith.  Notices shall be effective upon receipt.

11.  Entire Agreement/Waivers.

This
Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes
all previous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements,
either oral or written, between the Bank and the Employee with respect to the
employment of the Employee by the Bank. 
No waiver of the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon either
party unless in writing, signed by both parties.  The waiver or failure of either party to
enforce the terms of this Agreement in one instance shall not constitute a
waiver of that party’s rights under this Agreement with respect to other
violations.

12.  Severability

The provisions of
this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions hereof.

13.  Section 409A of the Code.

It is the intent of the parties that this Agreement be construed to avoid
the excise tax and penalties
described in Section 409A of the Code. 
The parties acknowledge that the Agreement may require amendment to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

14.  Governing Law

The
laws of the United States to the extent applicable and otherwise by the laws of
the State of South Dakota shall govern this Agreement.

15.  Arbitration and Remedies

(a)       Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, any dispute or claim arising under or with respect
to this Agreement, or the termination of this Agreement, will be resolved by
arbitration in the state of South Dakota in accordance with the National Rules
for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
Association by a mutually agreeable neutral arbitrator.  The decision or award of the arbitrator shall
be final and binding upon the parties and may be entered as a judgment or order
in any Court of competent jurisdiction;

(b)       All information and documentation
submitted by the parties or received from any other source, together with all
transcripts of the hearing(s) or other proceedings, and the arbitrator’s
findings shall be treated by the arbitrator and the parties as Confidential
Information and the participants agree not to disclose or turn over any such
information or documentation to a third party without the prior written consent
of the parties, or pursuant to a lawful subpoena or court order, or an order to
obtain a injunctive relief;

(c)       Employee acknowledges that
compliance with Sections 6, 7, and 8 is necessary to protect the business and
good will of the Bank, and that a breach of these sections would irreparably
and continually damage the Bank for which money damages may not be
adequate.  Consequently, Employee agrees
that the Bank will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief from
the courts for breach or threatened breach of these sections and Employee
agrees that it will not be a defense to any request for such relief that the
Bank has an adequate remedy at law.  For
purposes of any such proceeding, the Bank and the Employee submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of South Dakota, and of
the United States located in the State of South Dakota, and each agrees not to
raise and waives any objection to or defense based on the venue of any such
court or forum non-conveniens;

(d)       If a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is unreasonable in
scope, time, or geography, it is hereby authorized by the Employee and the Bank
to enforce the same in such narrower scope, shorter time or lesser geography as
such court determines to be reasonable and proper under all the
circumstances.  The restrictive covenants
in Section 6 shall be deemed separate covenants for each and every state,
county, municipality, and town, and in the event the covenants for one or more
of the geographic territories is determined to be unenforceable, the remaining
covenants shall continue to be effective; and

(e)       The Bank will also have such
other legal remedies as may be appropriate under the circumstances including,
but not limited to, recovery of damages occasioned by a breach.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above
written.

Bank and engage in any business which competes with the Bank’s business.

8.              Confidential
Information.

Employee
acknowledges that as a result of employment with the Bank (he or she) has
access to and knowledge of confidential, trade secret and proprietary
information of the Bank.  In exchange for
the consideration set forth herein and for the consideration set forth in the
Change-in-Control Agreement contemporaneously executed, Employee agrees not to
disclose to anyone inside or outside the Bank or use for (his or her) own
benefit or the benefit of others, any of this information without the express
written consent of the Bank.  Employee
acknowledges an unauthorized disclosure or use of this information would be
unfair and would cause the Bank irreparable harm.

9.              No Assignments.

This
Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and neither party may
assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder without first
obtaining the written consent of the other party; provided, however, that the
Bank will require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of Bank, by an assumption agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Employee in (his or her) sole discretion, to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform it if no such
succession or assignment had taken place. 
Failure of the Bank to obtain such an assumption agreement prior to the
effective date of any such succession or assignment shall be a breach of this
Agreement.

10.       Notice.

For the purposes
of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first
page of this Agreement (provided that all notices to the Bank shall be directed
to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank with a copy to the
Secretary of the Bank), or to such other address as either party may have
furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith.  Notices shall be effective upon receipt.

11.       Entire
Agreement/Waivers.

This
Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes
all previous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements,
either oral or written, between the Bank and the Employee with respect to the
employment of the Employee by the Bank. 
No waiver of the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon either
party unless in writing, signed by both parties.  The waiver or failure of either party to
enforce the terms of this Agreement in one instance shall not constitute a
waiver of that party’s rights under this Agreement with respect to other violations.

12.       Severability

The provisions of
this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions hereof.

13.       Section 409A of the
Code.

It is the intent of the parties that this Agreement be construed to avoid
the excise tax and penalties
described in Section 409A of the Code. 
The parties acknowledge that the Agreement may require amendment to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

14.       Governing Law

The
laws of the United States to the extent applicable and otherwise by the laws of
the State of South Dakota shall govern this Agreement.

15.       Arbitration and Remedies

(a)          Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, any dispute or claim arising under or with respect
to this Agreement, or the termination of this Agreement, will be resolved by
arbitration in the state of South Dakota in accordance with the National Rules
for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
Association by a mutually agreeable neutral arbitrator.  The decision or award of the arbitrator shall
be final and binding upon the parties and may be entered as a judgment or order
in any Court of competent jurisdiction;

(b)         All information and documentation
submitted by the parties or received from any other source, together with all
transcripts of the hearing(s) or other proceedings, and the arbitrator’s
findings shall be treated by the arbitrator and the parties as Confidential Information
and the participants agree not to disclose or turn over any such information or
documentation to a third party without the prior written consent of the
parties, or pursuant to a lawful subpoena or court order, or an order to obtain
a injunctive relief;

(c)          Employee acknowledges that
compliance with Sections 6, 7, and 8 is necessary to protect the business and
good will of the Bank, and that a breach of these sections would irreparably
and continually damage the Bank for which money damages may not be
adequate.  Consequently, Employee agrees
that the Bank will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief from
the courts for breach or threatened breach of these sections and Employee
agrees that it will not be a defense to any request for such relief that the
Bank has an adequate remedy at law.  For
purposes of any such proceeding, the Bank and the Employee submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of South Dakota, and of
the United States located in the State of South Dakota, and each agrees not to
raise and waives any objection to or defense based on the venue of any such
court or forum non-conveniens;

(d)          If a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is unreasonable in
scope, time, or geography, it is hereby authorized by the Employee and the Bank
to enforce the same in such narrower scope, shorter time or lesser geography as
such court determines to be reasonable and proper under all the circumstances.  The restrictive covenants in Section 6 shall
be deemed separate covenants for each and every state, county, municipality,
and town, and in the event the covenants for one or more of the geographic
territories is determined to be unenforceable, the remaining covenants shall
continue to be effective; and

(e)          The Bank will also have such
other legal remedies as may be appropriate under the circumstances including,
but not limited to, recovery of damages occasioned by a breach.

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and
year first above written.
