THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein

are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto represent, warrant, undertake,
covenant, and agree as follows:
OPERATIVE
TERMS
1.
Employment and Term. Employer shall employ
Employee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to perform the services
specified in Section 2 herein. The term of employment under this
Agreement shall be for a period of three years, commencing on August 1, 2007
(“Effective Date”). On each anniversary of the Effective Date, this
Agreement shall be automatically renewed for one additional year until July
31,
2012, after which there will be no further renewals of this
Agreement. Either Party, however, may terminate the renewals of this
Agreement at any time by giving the other Party written notice of its intent
not
to renew. Upon such written notice, the Agreement shall expire at the
end of the remaining term.
The
Board
or its Compensation Committee shall, on at least an annual basis, review
Employee’s performance and this Agreement to determine if the Agreement’s
renewals should be continued. The Board’s or its Compensation
Committee’s decision shall be included in its meeting minutes.
2. Position,
Responsibilities, and Duties. During the term of this Agreement,
Employee shall devote all of his working time, attention, skill, and best
efforts to accomplish and faithfully perform all of the duties assigned to
Employee on a full-time basis. Employee shall, at all times, conduct himself
in
a manner that will reflect positively upon the Employer. Employee shall obtain
and maintain such licenses, certificates, accreditations, and professional
memberships and designations as the Employer may reasonably require. Employee
shall also have the specific duties prescribed in Schedule
A.
3.Compensation
and Benefits. During the term of this Agreement Employee
shall be compensated as described in Schedule B.
4.Payment
of Business Expenses. Employee is authorized to incur reasonable
expenses in performing his duties hereunder. Employer will reimburse Employee
for authorized expenses, according to the Employer’s established policies,
promptly after Employee’s presentation of an itemized accounting of such
expenditures.
5.
Illness or Incapacity.
(a)Duration: Employee
shall be paid his full Base Salary (as defined in Schedule B) for any
period of his illness or incapacity for up to six consecutive months; provided,
however, that Employer shall be responsible only for that portion of Employee’s
Base Salary which is not covered by any disability insurance provided through
the Employer. If Employee’s illness renders him unable to perform his duties
under this Agreement for a period longer than six consecutive months, at the
end
of such six-month period or any such time thereafter, Employer may terminate
Employee’s employment for Cause, as provided in Section 6(b). This
Agreement may be terminated by the Bank after any such six-month
period.
(b)
Continuation of Coverages: Notwithstanding
any contrary provision herein, following any termination of Employee’s
employment and this Agreement pursuant to Section 5(a), Employer will continue
to pay for any other life, health, and disability coverages for Employee
substantially identical to the coverages maintained prior to Employee’s
termination until the earlier of:
|
(i)
|
Employee’s
full time employment by another
Person;
|
|
(ii)
|
one
year after the date of such termination (with the exception of any
disability insurance coverage in place, which shall be governed by
the
terms of such policy); or
|
(iii) the
date of Employee’s death.
|
|
6.
Termination for Other than Illness or
Incapacity.
|
(a)Death:
This Agreement shall immediately terminate upon Employee’s death, in which
instance Employer shall pay to Employee’s estate any compensation accrued, but
not yet paid.
(b)
Termination for Cause: The Employer shall
have the right, at any time, upon written notice of termination satisfying
the
requirements of Section 8 herein, to terminate Employee’s employment hereunder,
including termination for Cause as determined by the Board of Directors. A
termination for Cause shall be effective immediately upon effectiveness of
a
notice of termination. For the purpose of this Agreement, termination for
“Cause” shall mean termination for:
|
(i)
|
personal
dishonesty resulting (directly or indirectly) in gain to or personal
enrichment of Employee at the expense of Employer, breach of fiduciary
duty, violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than minor
traffic
violations or similar situations), violation of a final cease-and-desist
order, or personal default on indebtedness which is not corrected
within
10 days from the date of default;
and/or
|
|
(ii)
|
insubordination,
conduct unbecoming of a senior officer of a financial institution
which
could have a material negative reflection on the Employer, or materially
failing to perform the duties stated in Schedule A of this
Agreement (i.e., materially failing to perform the essential duties
of
Employee’s position).
|
In
the
event Employee is terminated for Cause for one of the reasons listed in (i)
or
(ii), Employee shall have no right to compensation or other benefits for any
period after such date of termination, other than compensation which was
accrued, but not yet paid, and in the case of termination pursuant to Section
5,
the continuation of coverages as described in Section 5(b).
In
the
event Employee is terminated for Cause for one of the reasons listed in (ii),
Employee shall have five days to appeal such termination in writing to the
Board. If Employee fails to appeal the termination within such five day period,
such termination shall become final and non-appealable.
If
Employee does appeal a termination for Cause for one of the reasons listed
in
(ii), Employee and Employer shall follow the dispute resolution procedures
described in Section 13(a) herein.
(c) Other
Termination by Employer: If Employee is terminated by
Employer other than for Cause, Employee’s right to severance benefits under this
Agreement shall be as set forth in Sections 6(f) and 6(g) herein.
(d)
Termination for Good Reason: Employee may
terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason by delivering a notice of
termination (as defined in Section 8). For purposes of this Agreement, “Good
Reason” shall mean a failure by the Bank to comply with any material provision
of this Agreement, which failure has not been cured within 15 business days
after a notice of such noncompliance has been given by the Employee to the
Bank.
In the event Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason, he shall be
entitled to severance benefits as set forth in Sections 6(f) and
6(g).
(e)Termination
by Employee: Employee may terminate his employment hereunder and
this Agreement for any reason, by providing ninety (90) days notice of
termination (as provided in Section 8). In such event, Employee shall have
no
right to compensation or other benefits after the date of termination, except
that for which is accrued but yet unpaid.
(f) Severance
Payment: If Employee is entitled to severance benefits
under Sections 6(c) or 6(d), Employee shall be paid, as severance, the total
current Base Salary (as defined in Schedule B) due for a period of 12
months from the date of Employee’s termination. Any such payments shall be made
in substantially equal semi-monthly installments on the 15th and last
days of
each month until paid in full, and shall only be paid subject to Employee’s
execution of a full release in favor of the Employer for any potential claims
related to this Agreement or to Employee’s employment with the
Employer.
(g) Additional
Severance Benefits: If Employee is entitled
to severance benefits under Sections 6(c) or 6(d), the Employer shall maintain
in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of the Employee any Employee
benefit plans and programs in which the Employee was entitled to participate
immediately prior to the date of termination for the shorter of:
|
|
(i)
|
one
year; or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
the
period of time ending on the date Employee becomes eligible for
participation in comparable plans provided by another
employer.
|
Provided,
however, that the Employee’s continued participation in the Employer’s benefit
plans and programs is possible under the general terms and provisions of such
plans and programs.
(h)Termination
Resulting from Change-in-Control: In the event of Employee’s
termination resulting from a Change-in-Control (as defined in Schedule
B), Employee shall be entitled to the Change-in-Control payment set forth
in Schedule B.
7.Regulatory
Provisions. Employer and Employee acknowledge that the laws and
regulations governing the Parties require that the employment of Employee be
governed by certain standards contained in those laws and regulations. To that
end, the Parties agree to be bound by the following provisions:
(a)
Suspension/Temporary Prohibition: If the
Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the
conduct and affairs of the Bank by a notice served under Sections 8(e) or (g)(1)
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)),
Employer’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of
such service unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges and the
notice are dismissed, Employer may in its discretion:
|
|
(i)
|
pay
the Employee all or part of his compensation withheld while the
obligations under this Agreement are suspended;
and/or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
reinstate
(in whole or part) any of Employer’s obligations which were
suspended.
|
(b)Permanent
Prohibition: If the Employee is removed and/or permanently
prohibited from participating in the conduct and affairs of the Bank by an
order
issued under Sections 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
(12
U.S.C. §1818(e)(4) or (g)(1)), all of Employer’s obligations under this
Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but the
Employee’s vested rights, if any shall not be affected.
(c)
Default Under FDIA: If the Bank is in default
(as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act), all
obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default,
but
this subsection of this Agreement shall not affect the Employee’s vested rights
if any.
8.Notice
of Termination.
(a)Specificity:
Any termination of Employee’s employment by Employer or by Employee shall be
communicated by written notice of termination to the other Party. For
purposes of this Agreement, a “notice of termination” shall mean a dated notice
which shall:
|
(i)
|
indicate
the specific relevant termination provision in the
Agreement;
|
|
(ii)
|
set
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide
a basis for termination of Employee’s employment under the provision;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
set

nor
more than 45 days after such notice of termination is given, unless
another Section of the Agreement requires or permits a different
effective
date.
|
(b)Delivery
of Notices: All notices or resignations given or required to be
given herein shall be in writing, sent by United States first-class certified
or
registered mail, postage prepaid, by way of overnight carrier, or by hand
delivery. If to Employee (or to the Employee’s spouse or estate upon the
Employee’s death) notice shall be sent to Employee’s last-known address, and if
to Employer, notice shall be sent to the Employer’s corporate headquarters. All
such notices shall be deemed made five days after having been deposited in
the
mail if sent via first-class certified or registered mail, or upon delivery
if
by hand delivery or if sent via overnight carrier. Either Party, by notice
in
writing, may change or designate the place for receipt of all such
notices.
9.Post-Termination
Obligations. After Employee’s termination, Employer shall pay to
Employee such payments and benefits as are required pursuant to this Agreement;
provided, however, any such payments shall be subject to Employee’s
post-termination cooperation. Such cooperation shall include the
following:
(a)
Employee shall furnish such information and assistance as may be
reasonably required by Employer in connection with any litigation or settlement
of any dispute between Employer and a customer or other third parties (including
without limitation serving as a witness in court or other
proceedings);
(b)
Employee shall provide such information or assistance to Employer
in
connection with any regulatory examination by any state or federal regulatory
agency;
(c)
Employee shall keep the Employer’s trade secrets and other proprietary
or confidential information secret to the fullest extent practicable, subject
to
compliance with all applicable laws;
(d)
Employee shall return any and all of Employer’s property, including,
but not limited to, keys, credit cards, manuals, and other written materials;
and
(e)
Employee shall execute a full release of all potential claims related
to this Agreement or to Employee’s employment with the Employer in favor of the
Employer.
Upon
submission of proper receipts, Employer shall promptly reimburse Employee for
any reasonable expenses incurred by Employee in complying with the provisions
of
this Section.
10. Indebtedness.
If during the term of this Agreement, Employee becomes indebted to Employer,
for
any reason, Employer may, at its election, set off and collect any sums due
Employer out of any amounts which Employer may owe Employee pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, upon the termination of this Agreement,
all sums owed to Employer by Employee shall become immediately due and payable.
Employee shall pay all expenses and Attorneys’ Fees actually or necessarily
incurred by Employer in connection with any collection proceeding for Employee’s
indebtedness. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any indebtedness to
Employer, secured by a mortgage on Employee’s residence shall not be subject to
the foregoing provisions, but shall be governed by the loan documents evidencing
such indebtedness.
11. Maintenance
of Trade Secrets and Confidential Information. Employee shall use
his best efforts and utmost diligence to guard and protect all of the Employer’s
trade secrets and confidential information. Employee shall not, either during
the term, or after termination, of this Agreement, for whatever reason, use
in
any capacity, or divulge or disclose in any manner, to any person, the identity
of Employer’s customers, methods of operation, marketing or promotional methods,
processes, techniques, systems, formulas, or programs, trade secrets, or other
confidential information relating to Employer’s business. Upon
termination of this Agreement or Employee’s employment, for any reason, Employee
shall immediately return and deliver to Employer all records and papers and
all
materials which bear employment trade secrets or confidential
information.
12. Competitive
Activities.
|
(a)Limitation
on Outside Activities: Employee agrees that during the term
of this Agreement, except with the express consent of the Board,
Employee
will not, directly or indirectly, engage in, participate in, become
a
director of, render advisory or other services to, become employed
by, or
make any financial investment in any firm, corporation, business
entity,
or business enterprise competitive with or to any business of the
Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be precluded
or prohibited from owning passive investments, including investments
in
the securities of other financial institutions. Employee, however,
shall
be prohibited from making any investments or commitments of time,
accepting any positions or participating in any activities, which
cause
Employee to devote time to such investments, commitments, positions,
or
activities, which interfere with Employee’s position with and obligations
to the Bank.
|
|
(b) Agreement
Not to Compete: Employee acknowledges that by virtue of his
employment with Employer, Employee will acquire an intimate knowledge
of
the activities and affairs of the Bank, including trade secrets and
other
confidential matters. Employee, therefore, agrees that during
the term of this Agreement, and for a period of six months following
the
termination of Employee’s employment hereunder, Employee shall not become
employed, directly or indirectly, whether as an employee, independent
contractor, consultant, or otherwise, with any federally-insured
financial
institution, financial holding company, bank holding company, or
other
financial services provider located in St. Lucie County, Florida,
or any
other county wherein a branch office of the Bank is located or
contemplated, or with anyone whose intent it is to organize another
such
company or entity located in any of the above described
counties.
|
|
(c) Non-solicitation: Employee
further agrees that for a period of six months following the termination
of Employee’s employment hereunder for any reason, Employee shall not,
directly or indirectly:
|
|
(i)
solicit the business of any then current customer (e.g., borrower
or
depositor) of the Bank, regardless of whether or not Employee was
responsible for generating such customer’s business for the Bank;
or
|
|
(ii)
solicit any employees of Employer.
|
Employee
hereby agrees that the duration of the anti-competitive covenants set forth
herein are reasonable, and that the geographic scope is not unduly
restrictive.
13.
Remedies for Breach.
(a)Mediation:
The Parties agree that, except for the specific remedies for injunctive relief
as contained in Section 13(b), in the event a dispute arises between the
parties, the parties agree that they shall participate in at least four hours
of
mediation with a Florida Supreme Court Mediator prior to commencing any
litigation over any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any breach hereof, including, without limitation, any claim that
this Agreement or any portion hereof is invalid, illegal, or otherwise voidable.
Employer agrees to bear the costs of the mediation. The mediation shall take
place at a mutually agreeable site in St. Lucie County, Florida.
(b)
Injunctive Relief: The Parties acknowledge
and agree that the services to be performed by Employee are special and unique
and that money damages cannot fully compensate Employer in the event of
Employee’s violation of the provisions of Sections 11 and 12 of this Agreement.
Thus, in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of such Sections,
Employee agrees that Employer, upon application to a court of competent
jurisdiction, shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Employee from
any
further breach of the terms and provisions of such Sections. Should Employer
prevail in an action seeking such an injunction, Employee shall pay all costs
and Attorneys’ Fees incurred by Employer in and relating to obtaining such
injunction. Employee’s sole remedy, in the event of the wrongful entry of such
injunction, shall be the dissolution of such injunction and recovery of
Attorneys’ Fees. Employee hereby waives any and all claims for damages by reason
of the wrongful issuance of any such injunction.
(c)
Cumulative Remedies: Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the injunctive relief described in Section 13(b) herein and all
other
remedies provided for in this Agreement which are available to Employer as
a
result of Employee’s breach of this Agreement, are in addition to and shall not
limit any and all remedies existing at law or in equity which may also be
available to Employer.
14.
Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the Employee, and to the extent applicable,
his
heirs, assigns, executors, and personal representatives, and to the Employer,
and to the extent applicable, its successors and assigns, including, without
limitation, any Person which may acquire control of all or substantially all
of
the Company’s assets and business, or with or into which the Company may be
consolidated or merged, and this provision shall apply in the event of any
subsequent merger, consolidation, or transfer.
15. Attorneys’
Fees. In the event that any claim or controversy
hereunder is the subject of any litigation or mediation between the Parties,
the
prevailing Party shall be entitled to an award of all reasonable costs,
including Attorneys’ Fees.
16.
Miscellaneous.

may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by the
Parties.
