Section 2.3                                                            Exchange Procedures for Common Shares.

(a)                                 As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in any event within five (5) business days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Certificates which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5(c), along with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor, (i) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in customary form agreed to by Company and Purchaser prior to the Closing Date specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates) to the Exchange Agent, such Letter of Transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Purchaser and Company shall agree and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates) in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration and, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor.

(b)                                 Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, a holder of Company Common Stock will be entitled to receive promptly after the Effective Time but in any event within ten (10) business days after such surrender, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates).  Until so surrendered, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive, without interest, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to, this Article II.

(c)                                  No dividends or other distributions with respect to Purchaser Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock represented thereby, in each case unless and until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Article II.  Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock represented by such Certificate paid prior to such surrender date, and/or (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to shares of Purchaser Common Stock represented by such Certificate with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of the Purchaser Common Stock issuable with respect to such Certificate.

(d)                                 In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate representing Company Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of Company, the shares of Purchaser Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock comprising the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be issued or paid in exchange therefor to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Certificate formerly representing such Company Common Stock shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser that the tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(e)                                  After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of Company Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II.

8

(f)                                   Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Company as of the one year anniversary of the Effective Time will be transferred to Purchaser.  In such event, any former shareholders of Company who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Purchaser with respect to the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Purchaser Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Purchaser, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(g)                                  In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Purchaser or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Purchaser may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.4                                                            No Fractional Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Purchaser Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Purchaser.  In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Purchaser shall pay to each former shareholder of Company who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder at the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Purchaser Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 by (ii) $21.85.

Section 2.5                                                            Withholding Rights.  Each of the Exchange Agent, Purchaser or the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Per Share Merger Consideration payable to holders of shares of Company Common Stock (including cash in lieu of fractional shares) or consideration otherwise payable to holders of Company Options pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Exchange Agent, Purchaser or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law, with respect to the making of such payment.  To the extent the amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent, Purchaser or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Common Stock or holders of Company Options in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or Purchaser, as the case may be.

(a)                                 During the Tail Coverage Period, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless, each present and former director, officer and employee of Company and the Bank (in each case, when acting in such capacity), determined as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law and to which such Indemnified Parties would be entitled under the Company Articles and the Company Bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date hereof.

(b)                                 Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall purchase an extended reporting period or “tail” endorsement under Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for Company’s directors and officers that provides insurance coverage for a period of six years following the Effective Time or, if such term of coverage is not available, such other maximum period of coverage that is available (the length of such tail-coverage, the “Tail Coverage Period”) and contains at least the same coverage and amounts, and contains terms and conditions no less advantageous to insured persons than the directors’ and officer’s insurance coverage currently maintained by Company; provided that the cost of purchasing such extended reporting period or “tail” coverage for the Tail Coverage Period shall not exceed 250% of the annual premiums paid by Company for the directors’ and officer’s insurance coverage that it currently maintains, without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(c)                                  Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.9(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, will promptly notify Purchaser; provided that failure to so notify will not affect the obligations of Purchaser under Section 6.9(a) unless and to the extent that Purchaser is actually and materially prejudiced as a consequence.  In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Purchaser shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Purchaser elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Purchaser and the Indemnified Parties that make joint representation inappropriate, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel which is reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall pay, promptly as statements therefor are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties (which may not exceed one firm in any jurisdiction unless the Indemnified Parties have conflicts of interest), (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (iii) neither the Indemnified Party nor Purchaser shall be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iv) Purchaser shall have no obligation hereunder in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable laws and regulations.

42

(d)                                 If Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, Purchaser will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

Section 6.10                                                     No Solicitation.

(a)                                 Company agrees that, except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.10, from and after the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, neither it nor the Bank nor any of the officers and directors of it or the Bank shall, and that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to instruct and cause its and the Bank’s employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (such directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives, collectively, the “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

(i)                                     initiate, solicit, seek or encourage any inquiries or expressions of interest or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal;

(ii)                                  engage in, continue or otherwise participate in or maintain any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal with any person other than Purchaser;

(iii)                               furnish to any person other than Purchaser any non-public information that Company believes or should reasonably know could be used for the purposes of developing or furthering any Acquisition Proposal;

(iv)                              approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into any agreement, letter of intent or contract with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or otherwise relating to or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement which expressly permits Company to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.10) or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(v)                                 submit any Acquisition Proposal or any matter related thereto to the vote of the shareholders of the Company other than this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; or

(vi)                              otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal.

(vii)                           As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer with respect to (i) a merger, joint venture, partnership, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer, exchange offer, recapitalization, reorganization, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction or series of related transactions involving Company or any Significant Subsidiary or (ii) any other direct or indirect acquisition involving 40% or

43

more of the total voting power of any class of equity securities of Company or those of any of its Subsidiaries, or 40% or more of the fair market value of the consolidated total assets (including, without limitation, equity securities of its Subsidiaries) of Company, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)                                 Company agrees that it shall immediately, and shall instruct its Representatives to immediately, cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.  Company agrees that it shall take the necessary steps to inform promptly the individuals or entities referred to in the immediately preceding sentence of the obligations undertaken in this Section 6.10 and in the Confidentiality Agreement.  Company also agrees that it shall promptly request each person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such person by or on behalf of it or any of its subsidiaries.

(c)                                  Company agrees that it shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours of learning of or receiving the relevant information) notify Purchaser if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiation are sought to be initiated or continued with, Company or any of its Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such person, and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, complete and unredacted copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep Purchaser informed, on a current basis (and, in any event, no later than 24 hours after the occurrence of any material changes, developments, discussions or negotiations), of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in Company’s intentions as previously notified.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, prior to the time, but not after, the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, Company may (i) provide information in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from any breach by the Company, the Bank or any of its Representatives of this Section 6.10, providing for the acquisition of more than 40% of the assets (on a consolidated basis) or total voting power of the equity securities of Company if Company receives from the person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement on terms not less restrictive to the other party than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and which expressly permits Company to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.10; and promptly discloses (and, if applicable, provide copies of) any such information to Purchaser to the extent not previously provided to Purchaser; (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person who has made such an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) after having complied with Section 6.10(f), approve, recommend, or otherwise declare advisable or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) such an Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that, (x) prior to taking any action described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Board of Directors of Company determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that such action is necessary in order for such directors to comply with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (y) in

44

each such case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Board of Directors of Company has determined in good faith based on the information then available and after consultation with Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; and (z) in the case referred to in clause (iii) above, the Board of Directors of Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal.  As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal involving 100% of the assets (on a consolidated basis) or total voting power of the equity securities of Company that the Board of Directors of Company has determined in its good faith judgment is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal, and if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to Company’s shareholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (A) after receiving the advice of its financial advisors (who shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm), (B) after taking into account the likelihood of consummation of such transaction on the terms set forth therein and (C) after taking into account all legal (with the advice of counsel), financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such proposal (including any expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to closing) and any other relevant factors permitted under applicable law, and after taking into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement agreed to by Purchaser.

(e)                                  Except as expressly permitted by, and after compliance with, Section 6.10(f), neither the Board of Directors of Company nor any committee of the Board of Directors shall:

(i)                                     withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Purchaser, the Board Recommendation with respect to the Merger; or

(ii)                                  cause or permit Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.10(d) entered into in compliance with Section 6.10(a)) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement at any time prior to the Company Shareholder Approval, if Company has received an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn and that the Board of Directors of Company concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, (x) the Board of Directors of Company may effect a Change in Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal, or (y) the Board of Directors of Company may authorize Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(i)                                     the Board of Directors of Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would violate its fiduciary obligations under applicable Laws;

45

(ii)                                  Company shall have complied in all material respects with all of its obligations under this Section 6.10;

(iii)

(1)                                 Company shall have provided prior written notice to Purchaser at least six business days in advance (the “Notice Period”), to the effect that the Board of Directors of Company has received an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn and that the Board of Directors of Company has concluded in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of Company has resolved to effect a Change in Recommendation and/or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.10(f), which notice shall specify the basis for such Change in Recommendation or termination, including the identity of the person or group of persons making the Superior Proposal, the material terms thereof and copies of all relevant documents relating to such Superior Proposal;

(2)                                 prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation or termination, Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, (I) negotiate with Purchaser and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Purchaser desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, (II) permit Purchaser and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Board of Directors of Company regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Purchaser desires to make such presentation), (III) at the end of the Notice Period the Board of Directors of Company again makes the determination in good faith (x) after consultation with outside legal counsel that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation or authorize the termination of this Agreement would violate its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) taking into account any adjustment or modification to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Purchaser, that the Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal; provided that, in the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of Company has determined to be a Superior Proposal, Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Purchaser and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.10 (including Section 6.10(f)) with respect to such new written notice and the revised Superior Proposal contemplated thereby; provided, further, that the Notice Period with respect to any new written notice to Purchaser delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso shall be reduced from six business days to five business days; and

(3)                                 in the case of any action contemplated by the initial clause (y) of this Section 6.10(f), Company shall have validly terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(iii), including the payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(i).

(iv)                              None of Company, the Board of Directors of Company or any committee of the Board of Directors of Company shall enter into any agreement with any Person to limit or not to give prior notice to Purchaser of its intention to effect a Change in Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement in light of a Superior Proposal.

(d)                                 Within a reasonable time prior to the Closing, the Bank shall either (i) provide evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser that the successor trustee of the Company 401(k) Plan is qualified to reach a good faith determination within the meaning of Proposed Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-18, or (ii) arrange for the successor trustee to engage a financial advisor who is independent (as that term is defined in Proposed Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-18) to opine, whether the Per Share Merger Consideration is at least

47

(iii)                               If Company elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to this Section 8.1(e), it shall give prompt written notice thereof to Purchaser.  During the three (3) business days period commencing with its receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to increase the Per Share Stock Consideration to equal the lesser of (x) a quotient, the numerator of which is equal to the product of the Initial Purchaser Market Value, the Per Share Stock Consideration (as then in effect) and the Index Ratio, and the denominator of which is equal to the Purchaser Market Value, or (y) the quotient determined by

(b)                                 The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement.  In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(c)                                  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court or a federal or state regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions and covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.  If for any reason such court or regulatory agency determines that any provision,

57

covenant or restriction is invalid, void or unenforceable, it is the express intention of the parties that such provision, covenant or restriction be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.

Section 9.5                                                            Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic means), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 9.6                                                            Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the schedules, documents and the instruments referred to in this Agreement), together with the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, other than the Confidentiality Agreement; it being understood that the Exclusivity Agreement, dated November 19, 2012, among Company and Purchaser shall be immediately terminated and shall become void and of no effect.

Section 9.7                                                            Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky applicable to contracts made and performed entirely within such state, without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws.  The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding brought by either party to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal or state court located in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  Each of the parties hereto submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of jurisdiction derived from present or future domicile or otherwise in such action or proceeding.  Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 9.8                                                            Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each party certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (b) each party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) each party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) each party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.8.

Section 9.9                                                            Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned by either of the

58

parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party.  Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except for Section 6.9, which is intended to benefit each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, this Agreement (including the schedules, documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) is not intended to and does not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under this Agreement.  The parties hereto further agree that the rights of third party beneficiaries under Section 6.9 shall not arise unless and until the Effective Time occurs.

Section 9.10                                                     Specific Performance.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.

(b)                                 Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the business conducted by Purchaser and its subsidiaries is highly competitive and that the covenants made by Shareholder in this Section 3.06 are made as a necessary inducement for Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.  It is the desire and intent of the parties to this Agreement that the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  It is expressly understood and agreed that although Shareholder and Purchaser each consider the restrictions contained in this Section 3.06 to be reasonable, if a final determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Section 3.06 is unenforceable against any party, the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable.  The parties further agree to execute all documents necessary to evidence such amendment.

(c)                                  Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect Purchaser’s legitimate business interests and to protect the value of Purchaser’s acquisition of Company.

(d)                                 Shareholder will not, at any time during the one-year period referred to in Subsection 3.06(a) of this Agreement, disparage Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries, or the business conducted by Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries, or any stockholder, member, director, manager, officer, employee or agent of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries.
