Bank Financial Statements is adequate to provide for all known and probable
incurred credit losses of Bank as of the respective dates of the Bank

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 subject to
the discretion of the court before which any Proceeding may be brought). No

enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
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 subject to
the discretion of the court before which any Proceeding may be brought). The

security therefor, is valid and the balances for Bank loans, discounts or
lease financings, as reflected on the books and records of the Bank, are

Governmental Body program (including, without limitation, the Farm Services
Administration) was made, and has been serviced and administered, in
compliance with any applicable requirements of Law.

         (d) Except for such noncompliances which could not be 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 subject to
any defense with respect to the enforceability of same (except in all cases
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
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 brought) or

have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Bank,
(i) each of Bank's secured loans is secured with the collateral and priority
indicated on the books and records of Bank and (ii) each such Encumbrance is
evidenced by a security agreement or mortgage that is true, genuine and
enforceable in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
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 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 Bank loans
that have been cited in any compliance report to Bank as a result of
examination by any Governmental Body and the loan documentation with respect
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.

         3.9. Repurchase Agreements. With respect to all repurchase
              ---------------------
agreements to which Bank is a party, (i) where Bank has the obligation to
sell securities, it has a valid, perfected first Encumbrance in the
government securities or other collateral securing the repurchase agreement,
and the value of the collateral securing each such repurchase agreement
equals or exceeds the amount of the debt secured by such collateral under
such agreement, and (ii) where Bank has the obligation to buy securities,

                  (a) Except as disclosed or reserved against in the Bank
Financial Statements made available prior to the date of this Agreement,
Bank has good, marketable and indefeasible title, free and clear of all
Encumbrances, to all of its Assets. All tangible properties used in the

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

party (whether as lessee or lessor), except for financing leases in 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

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

Property rights free and clear of all Encumbrances or claims of

Adverse Effect on Bank) and, to the Knowledge of Farmers and Bank, none of
the Intellectual Property rights as used in the business co
