(a) NONCOMPETITION. The Executive shall not, directly or indirectly,
within the marketing area of the Employer and its Subsidiaries (defined as all
areas within 25 miles of any office or other facility of the Employer where the
Employer has established an active and material marketing presence) enter into
or engage generally in direct or indirect competition with the Employer in the
business of banking or any banking or trust related business, either directly or
indirectly as an individual on his own or as a partner or joint ventur, or as a
director, officer, shareholder (except as an incidental shareholder), employee
or agent for any person, for a period equal to the greater of (i) one year or
(ii) the duration of any payments to the Executive pursuant to Section 11after
the date of termination of his employment, except where the termination occurs
in conjunction with a Change of Control or Good Reason in which case this
paragraph shall not apply.
The existence of any material claim or cause of action of the Executive
against the Employer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall
not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Employer of this covenant.
The Executive acknowledges and agrees that enforcement of this covenant not to
compete will not prevent him from earning a livelihood and that any breach of
the restrictions set forth in this paragraph will result in irreparable injury
to the Employer for which it shall have no adequate remedy at law, and that,
therefore, the Employer shall be entitled to injunctive relief in order to
enforce the provisions hereof. In the event that this paragraph shall be
determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in part by
reason of it being too great a period of time or covering too great a
geographical area, it shall be in full force and effect as to that period of
time or geographical area determined to be reasonable by the court.
(b) RETURN OF MATERIALS. Upon termination of employment with the
Employer for any reason, the Executive shall immediately deliver to the Employer
all correspondence, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports and any other
documents and tangible items containing or constituting confidential information
about the Employer maintained at his office and shall promptly deliver all said
materials held by him at other locations.
(c) NONSOLICITATlON OF EMPLOYEES. The Executive shall not entice or
solicit, directly or indirectly, any other executives or key management
personnel of the Employer to leave the employ of the Employer or its
Subsidiaries to work with the Executive or any entity with which the Executive
has affiliated for a period equal to the greater of (i) one year or (ii) the
duration of any payments to the Executive pursuant to Section 11 following the
Executive's termination of employment with the Employer for any reason,
including a termination of employment in conjunction with a Change of Control.
(d) NONSOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS. The Executive shall not entice or
solicit, directly or indirectly, any client or customer of the Employer or any
Subsidiary for a period equal to the greater of (i) one year or (ii) the
duration of any payments to the Executive pursuant to Section 11 following the
Executive's termination of employment with the Employer for any reason,
including a termination of employment in conjunction with a Change of Control.
(e) REMEDY. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any breach of
the restrictions set forth in Sections 7 and 8 will result in irreparable injury
to the Employer for which it shall have no meaningful remedy in law and the
Employer shall be entitled to injunctive relief in order to enforce provisions
hereof. Upon obtaining such injunction, the Employer shall be entitled to pursue
reimbursement from the Executive and/or the Executive's employer of costs
incurred in securing a qualified replacement for any employee enticed away from
the Employer by the Executive. Further, the Employer shall be entitled to set
off against or obtain reimbursement from the Executive of any payments owed or
made to the Executive by the Employer hereunder.

Agreement for a period anticipated to extend for a period of at least one

insurance policy), the Employer shall have the option to terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the Executive. Such
termination shall be without prejudice to any right the Executive may have under
the LTD insurance program maintained by the Employer. Such disability shall be
certified by the Employer 's group LTD carrier, in conjunction with the
Executive's supplemental LTD carrier if such supplemental policy is in effect;
in the event these carriers cannot agree, they shall designate a licensed
physician whose decision shall be binding for purposes of this Agreement.
(c) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The Employer may terminate the Executive's
employment hereunder for cause. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Employer
shall have "cause" to terminate the Executive's employment hereunder upon (i)
the willful failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties
hereunder, other than any such failure resulting from the Executive's incapacity
due to physical or mental illness, (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in
gross misconduct materially injurious to the Employer, (iii) the willful
violation by the Executive of the provisions of Sections 4 or 7 hereof, after
notice from Employer and a failure to cure such violation within 30 days of said
