9. Loyalty and Confidentiality.
| | a. | | During the term of this Agreement, Executive will devote all his business time, attention, skill, and efforts to the faithful performance of his duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that from time to time, Executive may serve on the boards of directors of, and hold any other offices or positions in, companies or organizations that will not present any conflict of interest with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, unfavorably affect the performance of Executive’s duties pursuant to this Agreement, or violate any applicable statute or regulation. Executive will not engage in any business or activity contrary to the business affairs or interests of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. |

10. Termination and Termination Pay.Subject to Section 11 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. |

| |
| | 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 the Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months. 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 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. The Company will reduce Disability payments by the amount of any short- or long-term disability benefits payable to Executive under any other disability programs sponsored by the Company. 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 his 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, immediately 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 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) or final cease-and-desist order; or |
| |
| | (7) | | Material breach of any provision of this Agreement. |
| | ii. | | Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s termination for Cause will not become effective unless the Company has delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire membership of the Board, at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose of finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive to be heard before the Board with counsel), Executive engaged in 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 through the date of his termination. Following his voluntary termination of employment under this Section 10(e), Executive will be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10(g) of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year from his termination date. |
| | f. | | Without Cause or With Good Reason. |
| | i. | | In addition to termination pursuant to Sections 10(a) through 10(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”). |
4
| | ii. | | Subject to Section 11 of this Agreement, in the event of termination under this Section 10(f), Executive will receive his base salary as of his termination date for the remaining term of the Agreement, with such amount paid in one lump sum within ten (10) calendar days of his termination. Executive will also continue to participate in any benefit plans of the Company or the Bank that provide medical, dental and life insurance coverage for the remaining term of the Agreement, under terms and conditions no less favorable than the most favorable terms and conditions provided to senior executives during the same period, or, if the Company or the Bank cannot provide such coverage because Executive is no longer an employee, the Company or the Bank will provide Executive with comparable coverage on an individual policy basis. |
| |
| | iii. | | “Good Reason” exists if, without Executive’s express written consent, the Company materially breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement. Without limitation, such a material breach will occur upon any of the following: |
| | (1) | | A material reduction in Executive’s responsibilities or authority in connection with his employment with the Company; |
| |
| | (2) | | Assignment to Executive of duties of a non-executive nature or duties for which he is not reasonably equipped by his skills and experience; |
| |
| | (3) | | Failure of Executive to be nominated or renominated to the Board to the extent Executive is a Board member prior to the Effective Date; |
| |
| | (4) | | A reduction in salary or benefits contrary to the terms of this Agreement, or, following a Change in Control as defined in Section 11 of this Agreement, any reduction in salary or material reduction in benefits below the amounts Executive was entitled to receive prior to the Change in Control; |
| |
| | (5) | | Termination of incentive and benefit plans, programs or arrangements, or reduction of Executive’s participation, that is not applicable to other similarly situated participants, to such an extent as to materially reduce their aggregate value below their aggregate value as of the Effective Date; |
| |
| | (6) | | A requirement that Executive relocate his principal business office or his principal place of residence outside of the area consisting of a thirty five (35) mile radius from the current main office and any branch of the Company or the Bank, or the assignment to Executive of duties that would reasonably require such a relocation; or |
| |
| | (7) | | Liquidation or dissolution of the Company. |
| | iv. | | Notwithstanding the foregoing, a reduction or elimination of Executive’s benefits under one or more benefit plans, programs or arrangements maintained as part of a good faith, overall reduction or elimination of such plans or benefits, applicable to all participants in a manner that does not discriminate against Executive (except as such discrimination may be necessary to comply with law), will not constitute an event of Good Reason or a material breach of this Agreement, provided that benefits of the same type or to the same general extent as those offered under such plans |
5
| | | | prior to the reduction or elimination are not available to other officers of the Company or any affiliate under a plan or plans in or under which Executive is not entitled to participate. |
| | v. | | The parties to this Agreement intend for the payments to satisfy the short-term deferral exception under Section 409A of the Code or, in the case of health and welfare benefits, not constitute deferred compensation (since such amounts are not taxable to Executive). However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent payments do not meet the short-term deferral exception of Section 409A of the Code and, in the event Executive is a “Specified Employee” (as defined herein) no payment shall be made to Executive under this Agreement prior to the first day of the seventh month following the Event of Termination in excess of the “permitted amount” under Section 409A of the Code. For these purposes the “permitted amount” shall be an amount that does not exceed two times the lesser of: (A) the sum of Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay for services provided to the Company for the calendar year preceding the year in which Executive has an Event of Termination, or (B) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a tax-qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the calendar year in which occurs the Event of Termination. The payment of the “permitted amount” shall be made within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of the Event of Termination. Any payment in excess of the permitted amount shall be made to Executive on the first day of the seventh month following the Event of Termination. “Specified Employee” shall be interpreted to comply with Section 409A of the Code and shall mean a key employee within the meaning of Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard to paragraph 5 thereof), but an individual shall be a “Specified Employee” only if the Company is a publicly-traded institution or the subsidiary of a publicly-traded holding company. |
| | g. | | Continuing Covenant Not to Compete or Interfere with Relationships. Regardless of anything herein to the contrary, following a termination by the Company or Executive pursuant to Section 10(e) or 10(f): |
| | i. | | Executive’s obligations under Section 9(c) of this Agreement will continue in effect; and |
| |
| | ii. | | During the period ending on the first anniversary of such termination, Executive will not serve as an officer, director or employee of any bank holding company, bank, savings association, savings and loan holding company, mortgage company or other financial institution that offers products or services competing with those offered by the Company, the Bank or their affiliates from any office within thirty five (35) miles from the main office or any branch of the Company, the Bank or their affiliates and, further, Executive will not interfere with the relationship of the Company, the Bank or their affiliates and any of their employees, agents, or representatives. |
| | h. | | To the extent Executive is a member of the Board on the date of termination of employment, Executive will resign from the Board immediately following such termination of employment. Executive will be obligated to tender this resignation regardless of the method or manner of termination, and such resignation will not be conditioned upon any event or payment. |
6
11. Termination in Connection with a Change in Control.
| | a. | | For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means any of the following events: |
| | i. | | Merger: The Company merges into or consolidates with another entity, or merges another corporation into the Company, and as a result, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the resulting corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation is held by persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately before the merger or consolidation; |
| |
| | ii. | | Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership: There is filed, or is required to be filed, a report on Schedule 13D or another form or schedule (other than Schedule 13G) required under Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if the schedule discloses that the filing person or persons acting in concert has or have become the beneficial owner of 25% or more of a class of the Company’s voting securities, but this clause (ii) shall not apply to beneficial ownership of Company voting shares held in a fiduciary capacity by an entity of which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of its outstanding voting securities; |
| |
| | iii. | | Change in Board Composition: During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who constitute the Company’s Board of Directors at the beginning of the two-year period cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (iii), each director who is first elected by the board (or first nominated by the board for election by the members) by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period shall be deemed to have also been a director at the beginning of such period; or |
| |
| | iv. | | Sale of Assets: The Company sells to a third party all or substantially all of its assets. |
| | b. | | Termination. Subject to Section 26 of this Agreement, if, within the period ending one year after a Change in Control, (i) the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause, or (ii) Executive voluntarily terminates his employment With Good Reason, the Company will, within ten calendar days of the termination of Executive’s employment, make a lump-sum cash payment to him equal to three times Executive’s average taxable compensation (as reported on Form W-2) over the five (5) most recently completed calendar years (or years of employment, annualized for partial years of employment, if less than five), ending with the year immediately preceding the effective date of the Change in Control. The cash payment made under this Section 11(b) shall be made in lieu of any payment also required under Section 10(f) of this Agreement because of Executive’s termination of employment; provided, however, Executive’s rights under Section 10(f) are not otherwise affected by this Section 11. Following termination of employment, Executive will also continue to participate in any benefit plans of the Company or the Bank that provide medical, dental and life insurance coverage upon terms no less favorable than the most favorable terms provided to senior executives. If the Company cannot provide such coverage because Executive is no longer an employee, the Company will provide Executive with comparable coverage on an individual basis. The medical, dental and life insurance coverage provided under this Section 11(b) shall cease upon the earlier of: (i) Executive’s death; (ii) |
7
| | | | Executive’s employment by another employer other than one of which he is the majority owner; or (iii) thirty-six (36) months after his termination of employment. The parties to this Agreement intend for the payments to satisfy the short-term deferral exception under Section 409A of the Code or, in the case of health and welfare benefits, not constitute deferred compensation (since such amounts are not taxable to Executive). However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent payments do not meet the short-term deferral exception of Section 409A of the Code and, in the event Executive is a “Specified Employee” (as defined herein) no payment shall be made to Executive under this Agreement prior to the first day of the seventh month following the Event of Termination in excess of the “permitted amount” under Section 409A of the Code. For these purposes the “permitted amount” shall be an amount that does not exceed two times the lesser of: (A) the sum of Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay for services provided to the Company for the calendar year preceding the year in which Executive has an Event of Termination, or (B) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a tax-qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the calendar year in which occurs the Event of Termination. The payment of the “permitted amount” shall be made within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of the Event of Termination. Any payment in excess of the permitted amount shall be made to Executive on the first day of the seventh month following the Event of Termination. “Specified Employee” shall be interpreted to comply with Section 409A of the Code and shall mean a key employee within the meaning of Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard to paragraph 5 thereof), but an individual shall be a “Specified Employee” only if the Company is a publicly-traded institution or the subsidiary of a publicly-traded holding company. |
| | c. | | The provisions of Section 11 and Sections 13 through 25, including the defined terms used in such sections, shall continue in effect until the later of the expiration of this Agreement or one year following a Change in Control. |
12. Indemnification and Liability Insurance.
| | a. | | Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors, and administrators), and to advance expenses related to this indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and regulations against any and all expenses and liabilities that Executive reasonably incurs in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his service as an officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (whether or not he continues to be an officer or director at the time of incurring any such expenses or liabilities). Covered expenses and liabilities include, but are not limited to, judgments, court costs, and attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the costs of reasonable settlements, subject to Board approval, if the action is brought against Executive in his capacity as an officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Indemnification for expenses will not extend to matters related to Executive’s termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12(a) to the contrary, the Company will not be required to provide indemnification prohibited by applicable law or regulation. The obligations of this Section 12 will survive the term of this Agreement by a period of six (6) years. |
| |
| | b. | | Insurance. During the period for which the Company must indemnify Executive, the Company will provide Executive (and his heirs, executors, and administrators) with coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability policy, at the Company’s expense, that is at least equivalent to the coverage provided to directors and senior executives of the Company. |
8
13. Reimbursement of Executive’s Expenses to Enforce this Agreement.The Company will reimburse Executive for all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Executive in connection with his successful enforcement of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. Successful enforcement means the grant of an award of money or the requirement that the Company take some specified action: (i) as a result of court order; or (ii) otherwise following an initial failure of the Company to pay money or take action promptly following receipt of a written demand from Executive stating the reason that the Company must make payment or take action under this Agreement.
14. Limitation of Benefits Under Certain Circumstances.If the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits Executive has the right to receive from the Company, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 11 shall be reduced or revised, in the manner determined by Executive, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits under Section 11 being non-deductible to the Company pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The Company’s independent public accountants will determine any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 11; the Company will pay for the accountant’s opinion. If the Company and/or Executive do not agree with the accountant’s opinion, the Company will pay to Executive the maximum amount of payments and benefits pursuant to Section 11, as selected by Executive, that the opinion indicates have a high probability of not causing any of the payments and benefits to be non-deductible to the Company and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The Company may also request, and Executive has the right to demand that the Company request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to whether the disputed payments and benefits pursuant to Section 11 have such tax consequences. The Company will promptly prepare and file the request for a ruling from the IRS, but in no event will the Company make this filing later than thirty (30) days from the date of the accountant’s opinion referred to above. The request will be subject to Executive’s approval prior to filing; Executive shall not unreasonably withhold his approval. The Company and Executive agree to be bound by any ruling received from the IRS and to make appropriate payments to each other to reflect any IRS rulings, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment other than pursuant to Section 11 hereof, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 11, below zero.
15. Injunctive Relief.Upon a breach or threatened breach of Section 10(g) of this Agreement or the prohibitions upon disclosure contained in Section 9(c) of this Agreement, the parties agree that there is no adequate remedy at law for such breach, and the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief restraining Executive from such breach or threatened breach, but such relief shall not be the exclusive remedy for a breach of this Agreement. The parties further agree that Executive, without limitation, may seek injunctive relief to enforce the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.
16. Successors and Assigns.
| | a. | | This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any corporate or other successor of the Company which shall acquire, directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company. |
9
| | b. | | Since the Company is contracting for the unique and personal skills of Executive, Executive shall not assign or delegate his rights or duties under this Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of the Company. |
17. No Mitigation.Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to Executive in any subsequent employment.
18. Notices.All notices, requests, demands and other communications in connection with this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered by hand or 48 hours after mailing at any general or branch United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at its principal business office and to Executive at his home address as maintained in the records of the Company.
19. No Plan Created by this Agreement.Executive and the Company expressly declare and agree that this Agreement was negotiated among them and that no provision or provisions of this Agreement are intended to, or shall be deemed to, create any plan for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or any other law or regulation, and each party expressly waives any right to assert the contrary. Any assertion in any judicial or administrative filing, hearing, or process that an ERISA plan was created by this Agreement shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by the party making the assertion.
20. Amendments.No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by all of the parties, except as herein otherwise specifically provided.
21. Applicable Law.Except to the extent preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Tennessee shall govern this Agreement in all respects, whether as to its validity, construction, capacity, performance or otherwise.
22. Severability.The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any one provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
23. Headings.Headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only.
24. Entire Agreement.This Agreement, together with any modifications subsequently agreed to in writing by the parties, shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the foregoing subject matter, other than written agreements applicable to specific plans, programs or arrangements described in Sections 5 and 6.
25. Source of Payments.Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent payments and benefits, as provided for under this Agreement, are paid or received by Executive under the Employment Agreement in effect between Executive and the Bank, the payments and benefits paid by the Bank will be subtracted from any amount or benefit due simultaneously to Executive under similar provisions of this Agreement. Payments will be allocated in proportion to the level of activity and the time expended by Executive on activities related to the Company and the Bank, respectively, as determined by the Company and the Bank.
