reorganization, moratorium or similar Law affecting the enforcement
of
creditors' rights generally and except that the availability of
the
equitable remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is

reasonably
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse
Effect on Bank, any Bank loan which has been assigned by Bank
(including,
without limitation, Bank loans assigned to the secondary market)
was made in
accordance with applicable Law and in accordance with the
requirements
(including, without limitation, underwriting standards and
documentation
requirements) of the subject assignee and no such assignment is

any defense with respect to the enforceability of same (except in
all cases
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,

reorganization, moratorium or similar Law affecting the enforcement
of
15
<PAGE>
creditors' rights generally and except that the availability of
the
equitable remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is
subject to
the discretion of the court before which any Proceeding may be

Encumbrance is
evidenced by a security agreement or mortgage that is true, genuine
and

of
creditors' rights generally and except that the availability of
the
equitable remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is
subject to
the discretion of the court before which any Proceeding may be
brought).
There are no material uncured violations or violations with respect
to which
material refunds or restitution may be required with respect to

to all Bank loans, discounts or lease financings, complies in all
material
respects with applicable Law.
(f) No borrower or obligor under any Bank loan has requested,
and
Bank has not allowed, any relief pursuant to the Soldiers and
Sailors Civil
Relief Act of 1940.

------
(a) Except as disclosed or reserved against in the Bank

Bank has good, marketable and indefeasible title, free and clear of
all
Encumbrances, to all of its Assets. All tangible properties used in

businesses of Bank are in good condition, reasonable wear and tear
excepted,
and are usable in the Ordinary Course of Business of Bank. All
Assets which
are material to Bank's business held under leases or subleases by
Bank, are
held under valid Contracts enforceable in accordance with their
respective
terms, assuming the enforceability with respect to third parties to
such
Contracts, of which Bank has no reason to believe that any such
Contracts
are not enforceable against any such third party thereto (except
as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or other Laws (including provisions of
the U.S.
and Kentucky Constitutions) affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights
generally and except that the availability of equitable remedies is
subject
to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings may be
brought),
and each such Contract is in full force and effect.
(b) Schedule 3.11(b) of the Disclosure Memorandum contains
a complete list of all real property, leaseholds or other interests
in real
property (other than mortgage interests held by Bank with respect
to its
borrowers) owned by Bank (collectively, the "Real Property"). With
respect
to each lease of any real property or personal property to which
Bank is a

which
Bank is lessor, (i) such lease is in full force and effect in
accordance
with its terms against Bank; (ii) all rents and other monetary
amounts that
have become due and payable thereunder have been paid by Bank;
(iii) there
exists no Default under such lease by Bank; and (iv) upon receipt
of the
consents described in Section 3.11(b) of the Disclosure Memorandum,
the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
will not
constitute a Default or a cause for termination or modification of
such
lease.
(c) Apart from any noncompliances which in the aggregate
are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Bank, the
improvements on the Real Property fully comply with all (and Bank
has not
received an uncured notice from any Governmental Body respecting
any
violation of any) Laws including, without limitation, all
applicable zoning,
building, fire, health, safety, handicapped persons,
environmental,
pollution, and use laws, codes and ordinances and any and all
requirements
imposed in connection with the zoning or rezoning of the Real
Property
(including, without limitation, requirements with respect to
on-site storm
water detention or retention). Certificates of Occupancy and all
other
required Governmental Authorizations have been issued for each
building or
structure constituting a portion of the Real Property improvements
and for
all leased or leasable areas of such improvements and all fees and
other
expenses required to be paid in connection with any zoning or
rezoning of
the Real Property and all obligations to be performed by or on
behalf of
Bank with respect to any such zoning or rezoning have been paid
and
performed in full. The Real Property is zoned in a manner which
permits Bank
to use the Real Property for the purpose and in the manner as the
Real
Property is currently being used. There are no Contracts with
Governmental
Bodies with respect
19
<PAGE>
to the Real Property which would bind the Real Property following
the
Closing, except for Contracts of record in the appropriate county
clerk's
office, which do not materially interfere with the current use of
the Real
Property.
(d) There are no Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge
of Farmers, threatened against or relating to the Real Property
(including,
without limitation, any Proceeding for the taking or condemnation
of all or
any portion of the Real Property) which, if successful, would
affect Bank or
the Real Property or restrict or prevent the continued operation of
the Real
Property in the same manner as that in which it is being operated
and
maintained as of the date hereof.
(e) There are no outstanding construction accounts payable
or mechanics' liens or rights to claim a mechanics' lien in favor
of any
contractor, materialman or laborer or any other Person in
connection with
construction on any portion of the Real Property.
(f) The Real Property is not located within an area which
has been designated by any Governmental Body as having, or being
subject to,
special flood hazards or wetlands restrictions.
(g) There are no encroachments from or upon property
adjoining the Real Property or upon any easements located on the
Real
Property that would have a material impact on the continued
operation of the
Real Property in the same manner as that in which it is being
operated and
maintained as of the date hereof.
(h) The structures on the Real Property and the
improvements thereon (including, without limitation, (i) the walls,
ceilings
and other structural elements of any improvements erected thereon
and (ii)
the building systems, such as heating, plumbing, ventilation,
air
conditioning and electrical systems, related thereto) constitute
all of the
real property currently used in relation to the business of Bank
and the
aforesaid building systems located on such properties are in good
working
order, repair and operating condition, ordinary wear and tear
expected.
(i) There are no items of maintenance scheduled by Bank
for completion during the past six months that have been deferred
with
respect to any building system located on the Real Property or with
respect
to the structural soundness of the improvements comprising part of
such
premises in excess of $20,000 in the aggregate.
(j) Bank has not received any notice from any insurance
company or insurance broker or underwriter of any material defects
or
inadequacies in respect of the Real Property that could reasonably
be
expected to affect the insurability of such property.
3.12. Intellectual Property. All of the Intellectual Property
---------------------
rights of Bank are in full force and effect and, if applicable,
constitute
legal, valid, and binding obligations of the respective parties
thereto, and
there have not been, and, there currently are not, any material
Defaults
thereunder by Bank. Bank owns, is the valid licensee of, or
otherwise has
the unrestricted right to use in the manner in which it is or has
been used,
all such Intellectual
20
<PAGE>
Property rights free and clear of all Encumbrances or claims of
infringement. Bank has not infringed the Intellectual Property
rights of
others (except to the extent any such infringement will not have a
Material
Adverse Effect on Bank) and, to the Knowledge of Farmers and Bank,
none of
the Intellectual Property rights as used in the business co
