c.

Executive agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any and all information concerning the operation or financial status of the Company and its affiliates; the names or addresses of any borrowers, depositors and other customers; any information concerning or obtained from such customers; and any other information concerning the Company or its affiliates to which he may be exposed during the course of his employment. Executive further agrees that, unless required by law or specifically permitted by the Board in writing, he will not disclose to any person or entity, either during or subsequent to his employment, any of the above-mentioned information which is not generally known to the public, nor will he use the information in any way other than for the benefit of the Company.

11. Termination and Termination Pay. Subject to Section 12 of this Agreement, Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated in the following circumstances:

 

a.

Death. Executive’s employment under this Agreement will terminate upon his death during the term of this Agreement, in which event Executive’s estate will receive the compensation due to Executive through the last day of the calendar month in which his death occurred.

 

b.

Retirement. This Agreement will terminate upon Executive’s retirement under the retirement benefit plan or plans in which he participates pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement or otherwise. Executive will receive the compensation due to him through his retirement date.

 

c.

Disability.

 

i.

The Board or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment after having determined Executive has a Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means a physical or mental infirmity that impairs Executive’s ability to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement and results in Executive becoming eligible for long-term disability benefits under any long-term disability plans of the Company (or, if no such plans exists, that impairs Executive’s ability to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days). The Board will determine whether or not Executive is and continues to be permanently disabled for purposes of this Agreement in good faith, based upon competent medical advice and other factors that the Board reasonably believes to be relevant. As a condition to any benefits, the Board may require Executive to submit to physical or mental evaluations and tests as the Board or its medical experts deem reasonably appropriate.

 

ii.

In the event of his Disability, Executive will no longer be obligated to perform services under this Agreement. The Company will pay Executive, as Disability pay, an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s bi-weekly rate of base salary in effect as of the date of his termination of employment due to Disability. The Company will make Disability payments on a monthly basis commencing on the first day of the month following the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment due to Disability and ending on the earlier of: (A) the date he returns to full-time employment in the same capacity as he was employed prior to his termination for Disability; (B) his death; (C) his attainment of age 65; or (D) the date this Agreement would have expired had Executive’s employment not terminated by reason of Disability. Such payments shall be reduced by the amount of any short- or long-term disability benefits payable to Executive under any other disability

programs sponsored by the Company or its affiliates. In addition, during any period of Executive’s Disability, the Company will continue to provide Executive and his dependents, to the greatest extent possible, with continued coverage under all benefit plans (including, without limitation, retirement plans and medical, dental and life insurance plans) in which Executive and/or his dependents participated prior to Executive’s Disability on the same terms as if he remained actively employed by the Company.

 

d.

Termination for Cause.

 

i.

The Board may, by written notice to Executive in the form and manner specified in this paragraph, terminate his employment at any time for “Cause.” Executive shall have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination for Cause, except for already vested benefits. Termination for Cause shall mean termination because of, in the good faith determination of the Board, Executive’s:

 

(1)

Personal dishonesty;

 

(2)

Incompetence;

 

(3)

Willful misconduct;

 

(4)

Breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit;

 

(5)

Intentional failure to perform stated duties;

 

(6)

Willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) that reflects adversely on the reputation of the Company, any felony conviction, any violation of law involving moral turpitude or any violation of a final cease-and-desist order; or

 

(7)

Material breach by Executive of any provision of this Agreement.

 

ii.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause by the Company unless the Company delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted at a meeting of the Board where in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of the conduct described above and specifying the particulars of this conduct.

 

e.

Voluntary Termination by Executive. In addition to his other rights to terminate under this Agreement, Executive may voluntarily terminate employment during the term of this Agreement upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Board. Upon Executive’s voluntary termination, he will receive only his compensation and vested rights and benefits up to the date of his termination.

f.

Without Cause or With Good Reason.

 

i.

In addition to termination pursuant to Sections 11(a) through 11(e), the Board may, by written notice to Executive, immediately terminate his employment at any time for a reason other than Cause (a termination “Without Cause”) and Executive may, by written notice to the Board, immediately terminate this Agreement at any time within ninety (90) days following an event constituting “Good Reason,” as defined below (a termination “With Good Reason”).

 

ii.

Subject to Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event of termination under this Section 11(f), Executive shall be entitled to receive his base salary in effect as of his termination date for the remaining term of the Agreement paid in one lump sum within ten (10) calendar days of such termination. Also, in such event, Executive shall, for the remaining term of the Agreement, receive the benefits he would have received during the remaining term of the Agreement under any retirement programs (whether tax-qualified or non-qualified) in which Executive participated prior to his termination (with the amount of the benefits determined by reference to the benefits received by the Executive or accrued on his behalf under such programs during the twelve (12) months preceding his termination) and continue to participate in any benefit plans of the Company or its subsidiaries that provide health (including medical and dental), or life insurance, or similar coverage upon terms no less favorable than the most favorable terms provided to senior executives of the Company or its subsidiaries during such period. In the event that the Company is unable to provide such coverage by reason of Executive no longer being an employee, the Company or its subsidiaries shall provide Executive with comparable coverage on an individual policy basis.

 

iii.

“Good Reason” shall exist if, without Executive’s express written consent, the Company materially breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement. Without limitation, such a material breach shall be deemed to occur upon any of the following:
