AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement") is entered into this 1st day of May, 1998 between FCB
Financial Corp., a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"), Fox Cities Bank,
F.S.B., a federal savings bank which is wholly-owned by the Company (the
"Bank"), and James J. Rothenbach (the "Executive").
WHEREAS, the parties have previously entered into an Employment
Agreement, dated May 1, 1997 (the "Prior Agreement"), pursuant to which
Executive currently serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement to
amend and restate the terms of the Prior Agreement and to supersede the
prior Agreement in its entirety.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the
respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, it is
agreed as follows:
ARTICLE I
EMPLOYMENT
1.1 Term of Employment.
The Bank hereby employs Executive for an initial period of three (3)
years commencing on May 1, 1998 (the "Commencement Date") and terminating
on April 30, 2001, subject to earlier termination as provided in Article
II hereof; provided, however, that on each April 30th during the term of
this Agreement, the term of employment shall automatically be extended for
one additional year so that the term shall be annually restored to a full
three (3) year term, unless on or before 60 days immediately preceding any
such renewal date, the Bank, in connection with an annual performance
review of Executive conducted by the Board of Directors of the Bank, or
for any other reason, or Executive gives notice to the other that the term
shall not be extended beyond the then current expiration date of the term.
Reference herein to the term of this Agreement shall refer to both the
initial term and such extended terms.
1.2 Duties of Executive.
The Bank hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts
employment with the Bank, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth for the term of this Agreement. Executive is employed by the Bank
to perform the duties of President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Bank, and the Company shall cause the Bank to appoint Executive to such
position. As part of Executive's employment by the Bank hereunder,
Executive shall also serve as, and the Company hereby appoints Executive
during the term of his employment by the Bank hereunder to serve as,
President and Chief Executive officer of the Company. The services to be
performed by the Executive shall include those normally performed by the
President and Chief Executive Officer of similar banking organizations and
as directed by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank,
respectively, which are not inconsistent with the foregoing. Executive
agrees to devote his full business time to the rendition of such services,
subject to absences for customary vacations and for temporary illnesses.
The Company and the Bank each agree that during the term of this Agreement
it will not reduce the Executive's current job title, status or
responsibilities without the Executive's consent. Furthermore, Executive
shall not be required, without his express written consent, to be based
anywhere other than within the Oshkosh-Neenah/Menasha-Appleton
metropolitan area, except for reasonable business travel in connection
with the business of the Company and the Bank. During the term of this
Agreement, Executive shall also serve as a director of the Company
(subject to being elected by shareholders) and the Bank.
1.3 Compensation.
The Bank agrees to compensate, and the Company agrees to cause the
Bank to compensate, the Executive for his services hereunder during the
term of this Agreement by payment of a salary at the annual rate of
$155,000 in such monthly, semi-monthly or other payments as are from time
to time applicable to other executive officers of the Bank. The
Executive's salary may be increased from time to time during the term of
this Agreement in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Bank, but Executive's salary shall not be reduced below the level then in
effect. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to participate in
incentive compensation plans as may from time to time be established by
the Company or the Bank on an equivalent basis as other executive officers
of the Company or the Bank (but recognizing differences in
responsibilities among executive officers).
1.4 Benefits.
(a) Executive shall be provided the following additional benefits,
(i) participation in any stock option or other equity-based plan and any
pension, profit-sharing, deferred compensation or other retirement plan,
(ii) medical, dental and life insurance coverage consistent with coverages
provided to other executive officers of the Bank (which initially will
include a 30% co-pay by the Executive), (iii) the use of an automobile and
membership or appropriate affiliation with a service club and a
recreational club, (iv) reimbursement of business expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with his employment and expenses incurred by his
spouse when accompanying Executive, (v) paid vacations and sick leave in
accordance with prevailing policies of the Bank, provided that allowed
vacations shall in no event be less than four weeks per annum, and (vi)
such other benefits as are provided to other executive officers of the
Bank; provided that amounts allocated to Executive's personal use under
clause (iii) above and additional charges for Executive's spouse pursuant
to clause (iv) above shall be treated as taxable income to Executive in
accordance with applicable Bank policies.
(b) If Executive shall become temporarily disabled or incapacitated
to the extent that he is unable to perform the duties of President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company or the Bank for three (3)
consecutive months, he shall nevertheless be entitled to receive 100
percent of his compensation under Section 1.3 of this Agreement for the
period of his disability up to three (3) months, less any amount paid to
the Executive under any other disability program maintained by the Company
or the Bank or disability insurance policy maintained for the benefit of
Executive by the Company or the Bank. Upon returning to active full-time
employment, Executive's full compensation as set forth in this Agreement
shall be reinstated. In the event that Executive returns to active
employment on other than a full-time basis with the approval of the Board
of Directors of the Bank, then his compensation (as set forth in Section
1.3 of this Agreement) shall be reduced proportionately based upon the
fraction of full-time employment devoted by Executive to his employment
and responsibilities at the Bank and the Company. But, if he is again
unable to perform the duties of President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company and the Bank hereunder due to disability or incapacity, he
must have been engaged in active full-time employment for at least twelve
(12) consecutive months immediately prior to such later absence or
inability in order to qualify for the full or partial continuance of his
salary under this Section (b).
1.5 Covenant Not to Compete.
Executive acknowledges that the Company and the Bank would be
substantially damaged by an association of Executive with a depository
institution that competes for customers with the Company and the Bank.
Without the consent of the Company, Executive shall not at any time during
the term of this Agreement or Executive's employment by the Bank, and for
a period of one year thereafter (regardless of the reason for
termination), (i) on behalf of himself or as agent of any other person
solicit any person who was a customer of the Company or the Bank or any of
their subsidiaries during the two year period prior to the termination of
this Agreement or Executive's employment hereunder for the purpose of
offering the same products or rendering the same services to such customer
as were provided or proposed to be provided by the Company or the Bank or
any of their subsidiaries to such customer as of the time of termination
of Executive's employment, (ii) directly or indirectly, on Executive's
behalf or in the service or on the behalf of others, render or be retained
to render similar services as described in Section 1.2 hereof, whether as
an officer, partner, trustee, consultant, or employee for any depository
institution, which has a banking office located within 10 miles of any
office of the Bank or any banking office of the Company in existence as of
the Commencement Date or the beginning of any renewal period as provided
in Section 1.1 hereof, provided, however, that Executive shall not be
deemed to have breached this undertaking if (a) he renders services
otherwise prohibited by this paragraph (ii) for a depository institution
which has its home office located outside of the Wisconsin counties of
Winnebago and Outagamie and he renders such services from a full-service
banking office of such depository institution which is located outside
these same Wisconsin counties, or (b) his sole relationship with any other
such entity consists of his holding, directly or indirectly, an equity
interest in such entity not greater than three percent (3%) of such
entity's outstanding equity interest, or (iii) actively induce or solicit
any employees of the Company or the Bank to leave such employ. For
purposes of this Section 1.5, "person" shall include any individual,
corporation, partnership, trust, firm, proprietorship, venture or other
entity of any nature whatsoever.
ARTICLE II
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
2.1 Voluntary Termination of Employment by Executive.
Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time for any
reason upon giving the Bank written notice, at least ninety (90) days
prior to termination of employment. Upon such termination, Executive
shall be entitled to receive Executive's theretofore unpaid base salary in
effect at the date such written notice is given for the period of
employment up to the date of termination, and Executive and his spouse
and dependents will be entitled to further medical coverage, at his and/or
their expense, to the extent required by COBRA.
2.2 Termination of Employment for Death.
If Executive's employment is terminated by reason of Executive's
death, then Executive's personal representative shall be entitled to
receive Executive's theretofore unpaid base salary for the period of
employment up to the date of death. Executive's spouse and dependent
children shall continue to be entitled, at the expense of the Bank
(subject to then existing co-payment features applicable under the Bank's
medical insurance plan) if it is an insured plan, to further medical
coverage to the extent permitted by COBRA; provided that, if the Bank's
plan is not insured, the Bank will pay to Executive's spouse an additional
monthly death benefit during the applicable COBRA period, based upon COBRA
rates in effect at the time of Executive's death, in an amount equal to
the COBRA rate plus taxes due on such cash payment; provided further that
this benefit shall cease if the spouse and dependents cease to be eligible
for COBRA coverage.
2.3 Termination of Employment for Disability.
If Executive becomes Totally and Permanently Disabled (as defined
below) during the term of this Agreement, the Bank may terminate
Executive's employment and this Agreement, except Section 1.5 and Article
IV hereof, by giving Executive written notice of such termination not less
than 5 days before the effective date thereof. If Executive's employment
and this Agreement are terminated pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Bank
shall pay to Executive his theretofore unpaid base salary for the period
of employment up to the date of termination, and the Company and the Bank
shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement,
except for any COBRA obligations. The Executive is Totally and
Permanently Disabled for purposes of this Section 2.3 if he is disabled or
incapacitated to the extent that he is unable to perform the duties of
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company or the Bank for more
than three (3) consecutive months, and such disability or incapacity (i)
is expected to continue for more than three (3) additional months as
certified by a medical doctor of the Company's choosing which is not
contradicted by a doctor of the Executive's choosing or (ii) shall have in
fact continued for more than three (3) additional months.
2.4 Termination of Employment by the Company for Just Cause.
The Bank may terminate Executive's employment hereunder for Just
Cause (as such term is defined below), in which case the Executive shall
be entitled to receive Executive's theretofore unpaid base salary for the
period of employment up to the date of termination, but shall not be
entitled to any compensation or employment benefits pursuant to this
Agreement for any period after the date of termination, or the
continuation of any benefits except as may be required by law, including,
at his own expense, COBRA.
"Just Cause" shall mean personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful
misconduct or breach of a fiduciary duty involving personal profit in the
performance of his duties under this Agreement, intentional failure to
perform stated duties (provided that such nonperformance has continued for
10 days after the Bank has given written notice of such nonperformance to
the Executive and its intention to terminate Executive's employment
hereunder because of such nonperformance), willful violation of any law,
rule or regulation (other than a law, rule or regulation relating to a
traffic violation or similar offense), final cease-and-desist order,
termination under the provisions of Section 2.7(b) and (c) or material
breach of any provision of this Agreement.
2.5 Termination of Employment by the Bank Without Cause.
The Bank may terminate Executive's employment hereunder without
cause, in which case the Executive shall receive (a) his base salary under
Section 1.3 hereof through the then remaining term of employment under
Section 1.1, (b) his theretofore unpaid base salary for the period of
employment up to the date of termination, (c) medical, dental and life
insurance through the then remaining term of employment under Section 1.1
consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.4, to the
extent the same can be provided under the insurance arrangements of the
Bank in effect at the time of termination, (d) any other benefits to which
Executive is entitled by law or the specific terms of the Bank's policies
in effect at the time of termination of employment and (e) an amount equal
to the product of the Bank's annual aggregate contribution, for the
benefit of the Executive in the fiscal year preceding termination, to all
qualified retirement plans in which the Executive participated multiplied
by the number of years in the then remaining term of employment under
Section 1.1. The benefit in (e) under this Section 2.5 shall be in
addition to any benefit payable from any qualified or non-qualified plans
or programs maintained by the Company or the Bank at the time of
termination. If the Bank's medical and dental plans are not insured, the
medical and dental benefit in (c) shall be accomplished by the Bank paying
to Executive an additional cash amount equal to the COBRA premium for such
coverage, plus taxes on such amount, so that Executive may purchase the
coverage on an after-tax basis.
2.6 Termination of Employment Due to Change in Control.
(a) If, at any time after the date hereof, a "Change in Control" (as
hereinafter defined) occurs and within twelve (12) months thereafter
Executive's appointment as President or as Chief Executive Officer of the
Company or his employment as President or as Chief Executive Officer of
the Bank is involuntarily terminated (other than for Just Cause pursuant
to Section 2.4) then the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits
provided below.
(i) The Company shall promptly pay, or cause the Bank to pay,
to the Executive an amount equal to the product of 2.99 times the
Executive's "base amount" as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code
(such "base amount" to be derived from Executive's compensation paid by
the Company and the Bank).
(ii) During the term of this Agreement set forth in paragraph
1.1 (including any renewal term), the Executive, his dependents,
beneficiaries and estate shall continue to be covered under all employee
benefit plans of the Company and the Bank, including without limitation
the Company's and the Bank's pension and retirement plans, life insurance
and health insurance as if the Executive was still employed by the Bank
during such period under this Agreement; provided that coverage under the
medical and dental plans of the Company and the Bank shall be handled as
set forth in Section 2.5 above.
(iii) If and to the extent that benefits or services credit
for benefits under Section 2.6(a)(ii) above shall not be payable or
provided under any such plans to the Executive, his dependents,
beneficiaries and estate, by reason of his no longer being an employee of
the Bank as a result of termination of employment, the Company shall
itself, or shall cause the Bank to, pay or provide for payment of such
benefits and service credit for benefits to the Executive, his dependents,
beneficiaries and estate. Any such payment relating to retirement shall
commence on a date selected by the Executive which must be a date on which
payments under the Company or Bank's qualified pension plan or successor
plan may commence.
(b) (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
it is the intention of the Company, the Bank and the Executive that no
portion of any payment under this Agreement, or payments to or for the
benefit of the Executive under any other agreement or plan, be deemed an
"Excess Parachute Payment" as defined in Section 280G of the Code, or its
successors. It is agreed that the present value of any payment to or for
the benefit of the Executive in the nature of compensation, receipt of
which is contingent on the occurrence of a Change in Control, and to which
Section 280G of the Code applies (in the aggregate "Total Payments") shall
not exceed an amount equal to one dollar less than the maximum amount that
the Company and the Bank may pay without loss of deduction under Section
280(G)(a) of the Code. Present value for purposes of this Agreement shall
be calculated in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. Within
sixty days (60) following the earlier of (1) the giving of notice of
termination of employment or (2) the giving of notice by the Company to
the Executive of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due the
Executive, the Company, at the Company's expense, shall obtain the opinion
of the Company's public accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm"), which
opinion need not be unqualified, which sets forth: (a) the amount of the
Base Period Income of the Executive (as defined in Code Section 280G), (b)
the present value of Total Payments and (c) the amount and present value
of any Excess Parachute Payments. In the event that such opinion
determines that there would be an Excess Parachute Payment, the payment
hereunder shall be modified, reduced or eliminated as specified by the
Executive in writing delivered to the Company within thirty (30) days of
his receipt of such opinion or, if the Executive fails to so notify the
Company, then as the Company shall reasonably determine, so that under the
bases of calculation set forth in such opinion there will be no Excess
Parachute Payment. In the event that the provisions of Sections 280G and
4999 of the Code are repealed without succession, this Section shall be of
no further force or effect.
(ii) In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as
accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the
Change in Control, the Executive shall appoint another nationally
recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required
hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the
Accounting Firm under Section 2.6(b)). All fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination
by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the
Executive.
(c) For purposes of Section 2.6 of this Agreement, a "Change in
Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(i) a third person, including a "group" as defined in Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as in effect on the date
hereof), becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Company having 20%
or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of
directors of the Company, including for this purpose any shares
beneficially owned by such third person or group as of the date hereof; or
(ii) as the result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or
exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or
contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions (a
"Transaction"), the persons who were directors of the Company before the
Transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors
of the Company or any successor to the Company. (In the event of any
reorganization involving the Company in a transaction initiated by the
Company in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such
reorganization become the shareholders of a successor or ultimate parent
company of the Company resulting from such reorganization and the persons
who were directors of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization
constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of such successor or
ultimate parent, no "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have taken
place solely by reason of such reorganization, notwithstanding the fact
that the Company may have become the wholly-owned subsidiary of another
company in such reorganization and the Board of Directors thereof may have
been reconstituted, and thereafter the term "Company" for purposes of this
paragraph shall refer to such successor or ultimate parent company.); or
(iii) a third person, including a "group" as defined in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as in effect on
the date hereof), acquires control, as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section
574.4, or any successor regulation, of the Company which would require the
filing of an application for acquisition of control or notice of change in
control in a manner set forth in 12 C.F.R. Section 574.3, or any
successor regulation; or
(iv) The terms "termination" or "involuntarily terminated" in
this Agreement shall refer to the termination of the employment of
Executive by the Bank without his express written consent. In addition,
for purposes of this Agreement, a material diminution or interference
with the Executive's duties, responsibilities and benefits as President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company or the Bank shall be deemed and
shall constitute an involuntary termination of employment to the same
extent as express notice of such involuntary termination. By way of
example and not by way of limitation, any of the following actions, if
unreasonable or materially adverse to the Executive shall constitute such
diminution or interference unless consented to in writing by the
Executive: (1) a change in the principal work place of the Executive to a
location outside a twenty-five mile radius from the Company's headquarters
at 420 South Koeller Street, Oshkosh, Wisconsin; (2) a material reduction
in the secretarial or other administrative support of the Executive; (3) a
material demotion of the Executive, a material reduction in the number or
seniority of other Company or Bank personnel reporting to the Executive,
or a reduction in the frequency with which, or in the nature of the
matters with respect to which, such personnel are to report to the
Executive, other than as part of a Company-wide or Bank-wide reduction in
staff; and (4) a reduction or adverse change in the salary, perquisites,
benefits, contingent benefits or vacation time which had theretofore been
provided to the Executive, other than as part of an overall program
applied uniformly and with equitable effect to all executive officers of
the Company or the Bank.
2.7 Termination or Suspension of Employment as Required by Law.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
following provisions shall limit the obligation of the Bank to continue
employing Executive, but only to the extent required by the applicable
regulations of the OTS (12 C.F.R. Section 563.39), or similar succeeding
regulations:
(a) If the Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by a notice served
under Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)) the Bank's obligations under this
Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service of notice, unless
stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are
dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion (i) pay the Executive all or
part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations hereunder
were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its
obligations which were suspended.
(b) If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by an order issued
under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(4) or (g)(1)) all obligations of the Bank under
this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order.
(c) If the Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act), the obligation to Executive hereunder
shall terminate as of the date of default.
(d) All obligations under this Agreement may be terminated: (i) by
the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "Director") or his
or her designee at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Company enters
into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under
the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act and (ii) by the Director, or his or her designee at the time the
Director or such designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve
problems related to operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined
by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.
(e) Termination pursuant to subparagraph (d) of this Section 2.7
shall be treated as a termination by the Bank without cause entitling
Executive to benefits payable under Section 2.5. Termination pursuant to
subparagraph (a), (b) or (c) shall be treated as a termination for Just
Cause under Section 2.4. Termination under this Section 2.7 shall not
affect other rights hereunder which are vested at the time of termination.
2.8 Limitation on Termination or Disability Pay.
Any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with 12
U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder. Total
compensation paid to the Executive upon termination shall not exceed the
limitations set forth in OTS Regulatory Bulletin RB-27a, dated March 5,
1993. If any provision regarding termination contained herein conflicts
with 12 C.F.R. Section 563.39(b), the latter shall prevail.
ARTICLE III
LEGAL FEES AND EXPENSES
The Company shall pay, or shall cause the Bank to pay, all legal fees
and expenses which the Executive may incur as a result of the Company or
the Bank contesting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
provided that the Executive is the prevailing party in such contest or
that any dispute may otherwise be settled in favor of the Executive. The
Executive shall be entitled to receive interest thereon for the period of
any delay in payment from the date such payment was due at the rate
determined by adding two hundred basis points to the six-month Treasury
Bill rate.
ARTICLE IV
CONFIDENTIALITY

employment will have, access to important and confidential information
regarding the business and services of the Company, the Bank and their
subsidiaries, as well as similar information regarding OSB Financial and
its subsidiaries relating to his previous employment by that company, and
that the disclosure to, or the use of such information by, and business in
competition with the Company, the Bank or their subsidiaries shall result
in substantial and undeterminable harm to the Company, the Bank and their
subsidiaries. In order to protect the Company, the Bank and their
subsidiaries against such harm and from unfair competition, Executive
agrees with the Company and the Bank that while employed by the Bank and
at any time thereafter, Executive will not disclose, communicate or
divulge to anyone, or use in any manner adverse to the Company, the Bank
or their subsidiaries any information concerning customers, methods of
business, financial information or other confidential information of the
Company, the Bank, their subsidiaries or similar information regarding OSB
Financial and its subsidiaries, except for information as is in the public
domain or ascertainable through common sources of public information
(otherwise than as a result of any breach of this covenant by Executive).
