for the Bank,

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. |

signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation
Form and the Bank’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to
time. Upon the acceptance by the Bank of a new Beneficiary Designation Form,

Facility of
Payment. If the Bank

person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the
disposition of that person’s property, the Bank may direct payment of
such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care
or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Bank
may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem
appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit
shall be a payment for the account of the Executive and the Executive’s
Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any
liability under the Agreement for such payment amount. |
|
|
Article 8
