MR. WINGARD shall only be entitled to delivery of the Full Amount if, on an after-tax basis after taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, payment of the Full Amount would result in MR.

CNB shall bear all costs the accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 13.

14. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE: MR. WINGARD and CNB acknowledge that each of the payments and benefits promised to MR. WINGARD under this Agreement must either comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), and the regulations thereunder or qualify for an exception from compliance. To that end, MR. WINGARD and CNB agree that the payment described in section 8 is intended to be excepted from compliance with Section 409A as a short-term deferral pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

In the case of a payment that is not excepted from compliance with Section 409A, and that is not otherwise designated to be paid immediately upon a permissible payment event within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(a), the payment shall not be made prior to, and shall, if necessary, be deferred to and paid on the later of the date sixty (60) days after MR.

WINGARD acknowledges that a breach of his Agreements in Sections 6, 7 and/or 8 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to CNB and the business of CNB for which the remedies at law will be inadequate, and agrees that, in the event of any breach of the aforesaid Agreements, CNB and its successors and assigns shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and to any such other and further relief as may be proper.

16. ENFORCEABILITY: If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by a court with proper jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision shall be deemed to be modified, narrowed, or restricted only to the limited extent and in the manner necessary to render the same valid and enforceable, as the case may require, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law as if such provision had been originally incorporated herein as so modified, narrowed, or restricted.
