(i)

 

becomes employed by, participates in, or becomes connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other similar financial institution if the Executive’s responsibilities will include providing banking or other financial services within the twenty-five (25) miles of any office maintained by the Bank as of the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment;

for the Bank, earnings or other information concerning the Bank. The restrictions contained in this subparagraph (v) apply to all information regarding the Bank, regardless of the source who provided or compiled such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all information referred to herein shall not be disclosed unless and until it becomes known to the general public from sources other than the Executive.

 

 

6.4.1

 

Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any provision of these restrictions, the Executive recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Bank, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Bank. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of these restrictions, the Executive consents to the Bank’s entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Bank’s rights hereunder and preventing the Executive from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. The Executive expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that the Bank post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 6.4 hereof are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded the Bank in Section 6.4 hereof are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 6.4 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Executive’s employment with the Bank, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.

 

 

6.4.2

 

Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration.

 

 

 

6.4.3

 

Change in Control. The non-compete provision detailed in Section 6.4 hereof shall not be enforceable following a Change in Control.

 

 

6.5

 

Suicide or Misstatement. No benefits shall be payable if the Executive commits suicide within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the insurance company denies coverage (i) for material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on any application for life insurance purchased by the Bank, or (ii) for any other reason; provided, however that the Bank shall evaluate the reason for the denial, and upon advice of legal counsel and in its sole discretion, consider judicially challenging any denial.

The Bank may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.
