REPUBLIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES)
Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Republic Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Republic Mortgage Company, Republic Insurance Agency, Inc., Republic Capital Trust, and Republic Bank & Trust Company (Bank) and its subsidiary Republic Financial Services Corporation (d.b.a. Refunds Now), collectively "Republic". All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ending June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto-included in Republic's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and Form 10-Q.for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This new standard requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities at fair value. Depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting, gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would either be recorded as a component of net income or as a change in stockholders' equity. Republic is required to adopt this new standard January 1, 2001. Management has not yet determined the impact of this standard.
Reclassifications - Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 1998 financial statements to conform with the current period classifications. The reclassifications have no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

5. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Short-term borrowings consist of repurchase agreements and overnight liabilities to deposit customers arising from a cash management program offered by Republic. While effectively deposit equivalents, such arrangements are in the form of repurchase agreements. The repurchase agreements are treated as financings; accordingly, the securities involved with the agreements are recorded as assets and are held by a safekeeping agent and the obligations to repurchase the securities are reflected as liabilities.

(1) Republic has entered into convertible fixed rate advances ranging from
5 to 10 years with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) totaling $50 million.
The advances are fixed from one to three years at rates varying from 4.26%
to 5.11%. At the end of the fixed term, the FHLB has the right to convert
the fixed rate advance on a quarterly basis to a variable rate advance tied
to the three-month LIBOR index. The advances can be prepaid at any
quarterly date without penalty, but may not be prepaid at any time during
the fixed rate term.
|
The Federal Home Loan Bank advances are collateralized by a blanket pledge of eligible real estate loans with an unpaid principal balance of greater than 150% of the outstanding advances. Republic has sufficient collateral to borrow approximately $57 million additional funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Republic also has unsecured lines of credit totaling $40 million and secured lines of $110 million available through various financial institutions.
Aggregate future principal payments on borrowed funds as of June 30, 1999 are as follows:

The difference in earnings per share between the two classes of common stock results solely from the dividend premium paid to Class A over Class B Common Stock.
8. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
On January 29, 1999, Republic formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for the benefit of its employees. The ESOP borrowed $3.9 million from the Parent Company and directly and indirectly purchased 300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock from Republic's largest beneficial owner at a market value of $12.91 per share. The purchase price, determined by an independent pricing committee, was the average closing price for the thirty trading days immediately prior to the transaction. Shares in the ESOP will be allocated to eligible employees based on principal payments over the term of the loan, which is ten years. Participants become fully vested in allocated shares after five years of credited service and may receive their distributions in the form of cash or stock. During the first six months of 1999, 8,754 shares of stock were committed to be released, resulting in ESOP compensation expense of approximately $100,000. For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, 5,284 shares were committed to be released resulting in ESOP compensation expense of approximately $59,000 for the quarter. On June 30, 1999, none of the 300,000 shares in the plan had been allocated. The fair value of the unallocated shares was $3.5 million.
The cost of shares issued to the employee stock ownership plan but not yet allocated to participants is presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of shareholders equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market price of the shares as they are committed to be released for allocation to participant accounts. The difference between market price and the cost of shares committed to be released is recorded as an adjustment to paid in capital. Dividends on allocated plan shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated plan shares are reflected as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.
9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered, primarily distinguished between banking and mortgage banking operations. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation, and servicing fees and loan sales provide the revenues in mortgage banking. All operations are domestic.
The accounting policies used are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Income taxes are allocated and indirect expenses are allocated on revenue. Transactions among segments are made at fair value. Information reported internally for performance assessment follows.

PART 1
ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Republic Bancorp, Inc., headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, was incorporated on January 2, 1974. Republic Bank & Trust Company (Bank) is a commercial banking and trust corporation organized and chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Bank is also headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky and provides banking services through 19 banking centers throughout Kentucky. The Bank's activities include the acceptance of deposits for checking, savings and time deposit accounts, making secured and unsecured loans, investing in securities and trust services. The Bank's lending services include the origination of real estate, commercial and consumer loans. Operating revenues are derived primarily from interest and fees on domestic real estate, commercial and consumer loans, and from interest on securities of the United States Government and Agencies, states, and municipalities. Regulators for Republic include the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis) and the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions.
REPUBLIC HAS MADE, AND MAY CONTINUE TO MAKE, VARIOUS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO CREDIT QUALITY (INCLUDING DELINQUENCY TRENDS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES), CORPORATE OBJECTIVES AND OTHER FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS MATTERS. WHEN USED IN THIS DISCUSSION THE WORDS "ANTICIPATE," "PROJECT," "EXPECT," "BELIEVE," AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. REPUBLIC CAUTIONS THAT THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS ASSUMPTIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, ALL OF WHICH MAY CHANGE OVER TIME. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
IN ADDITION TO FACTORS DISCLOSED BY REPUBLIC, THE FOLLOWING FACTORS, AMONG OTHERS, COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: PRICING PRESSURES ON LOAN AND DEPOSIT PRODUCTS; COMPETITION; CHANGES IN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS BOTH NATIONALLY AND IN THE BANK'S MARKETS; THE EXTENT AND TIMING OF ACTIONS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD; CUSTOMERS' ACCEPTANCE OF THE BANK'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES; AND THE EXTENT AND TIMING OF LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY ACTIONS AND REFORMS.
OVERVIEW
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 was $2.8 million up from $2.6 million for the same period in 1998. The increase in earnings during the second quarter of 1999 reflects consistent financial performance in many areas of the Bank. During the second quarter Republic earnings benefited from increased interest income, reduced cost of funds, as well as reduced provision for loan losses.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $6.1 million compared to net income of $5.5 million for the same period in 1998, excluding the one-time deposit sales. Despite the issuance of an additional 2 million shares as part of Republic's public offering in July 1998, diluted earnings per share was $0.35 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $0.36 for the same period in 1998, excluding the one-time gain on sale of deposits.
The following table summarizes selected financial information regarding Republic's financial performance.

Republic's total assets at June 30, 1999 grew to approximately $1.24 billion compared to $1.21 billion at December 31, 1998. Net loans increased $74 million from December 31, 1998 to $944 million at June 30, 1999. The residential real estate portfolio grew $58 million while the commercial real estate portfolio increased $23 million. This growth was attributable to continued loan demand in Republic's markets and the further development of Republic's commercial and business banking services. While loan growth remained strong, the bank's level of delinquent loans declined favorably to 1.65% at June 30, 1999, compared to 2.29% at December 31, 1998.
Funding for the growth in the loan portfolio was derived from retail deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Retail deposits increased to $780 million as of June 30, 1999 compared to $747 million at year-end 1998. The growth in retail deposits was primarily in lower cost deposits such as demand and money market accounts. FHLB advances increased from $190 million at December 31, 1998 to $240 million at June 30, 1999.
Republic is on schedule to open a loan production office in Clarksville, Indiana, during the third quarter of 1999, the bank's first presence in the Indiana community banking market. The company is also on schedule to add two new full service banking centers in Prospect and Fern Creek in Louisville during the third quarter of this year, bringing the total number of banking centers in Kentucky's largest city to eleven. In order to further enhance growth, management will continue to seek and remain receptive to new strategic acquisition opportunities that will increase the bank's product offering capabilities in its primary markets and elsewhere.
While Republic is expanding its locations, the bank also continues to expand its product lines. On June 1, 1999, Republic successfully launched its Internet bank and began offering products through the Internet at republicbank.com. The Internet bank provides a full range of services to existing customers, while expanding the Bank's potential client base by offering deposit and loan products to customers outside its traditional service area. While in operation for a limited time, management is encouraged by the preliminary results, which have included new deposits totaling $4 million dollars with clients from 18 states as of June 30, 1999. The bank also began offering, for the first time, a full range of investment and trust services to its clients during the second quarter of 1999. Management is encouraged by the positive response to this exciting new product initiative.
DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
During 1997, Republic elected to focus its resources on its North Central and Central Kentucky markets. Consistent with this focus, Republic sold its banking centers in the Western Kentucky cities of Murray, Benton, Paducah, and Mayfield. The Murray, Benton and Paducah sales were closed in the second half of 1997. During the first quarter of 1998, Republic completed the sale of deposits and fixed assets at the Mayfield banking center. Republic realized a pre-tax gain of approximately $4.1 million from the Mayfield banking center sale. This sale was comprised of approximately $66 million in deposits and certain other fixed assets. Republic retained substantially all of its Western Kentucky banking center loan portfolios in those transactions. The Mayfield transaction represented the final Western Kentucky banking center sale.
REFUNDS NOW
During November 1998, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank acquired Refunds Now, Inc. Republic exchanged 230,000 shares of Class B Common Stock for the stock of Refunds Now, Inc. in a business combination accounted for as a pooling of interest. Refunds Now is a rapid refund tax processing service for taxpayers receiving both federal and state tax refunds through a nationwide network of tax preparers. Refund anticipation loans ("RALs") are made to taxpayers filing income tax returns electronically. The RALs are repaid by the taxpayer when the taxpayer's refunds are electronically received by the Bank from governmental taxing authorities. Refunds Now also provides electronic refund checks ("ERCs") to taxpayers. After receiving refunds electronically from governmental taxing authorities, checks are issued to taxpayers for the amount of their refund, less fees. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, Refunds Now generated $943,000 in electronic tax refund loan fees and $1.1 million in electronic tax refund check fees. Substantially all of the income realized by the Bank from the activities of Refunds Now is recognized during the first quarter of the year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income. For the second quarter 1999, net interest income was $11.6 million, up $1.3 million over the $10.3 million attained during second quarter 1998. Overall, the net interest rate spread increased from 3.14% during second quarter of 1998 to 3.35% in the comparable quarter of 1999. The Bank's net interest margin increased from 3.76% in second quarter 1998 to 3.97% in second quarter 1999. The increase in the net interest spread and margin occurred because the yield on interest earning assets decreased 39 basis points while the rate paid on liabilities decreased 60 basis points.. During the second quarter 1999, average interest-earning assets were $1.17 billion, an increase of $70 million over second quarter 1998. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased from $969 million in the second quarter of 1998 to $1.01 billion in the second quarter of 1999.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $23.7 million up from $20.7 million attained in the same period during 1998. Republic's net interest spread and margin increased 21 basis points and 25 basis points respectively for the six months ended June 30, 1999 over the comparable period in 1998. Net interest margin increased more than net interest spread because the amount of interest-earning assets supported by non-interest bearing deposits, other liabilities, and equity increased to 17.5% from 15.2% in 1998. Also supporting Republic's increased net interest spread was $657,000 in additional loan fees provided by Refunds Now and mortgage banking activities during the six months ended June 30, 1999 over the comparable period in 1998
Tables 2 and 3 provide detailed information as to average balance, interest income/expense, and rates by major balance sheet category for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

|
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income was $2.3 million during second quarter 1999, down from $3.1 million during second quarter of 1998. The decrease was principally a result of a reduction in gains generated from sales of loans into the secondary market.
Revenue from mortgage banking activities declined during the three-month period ending June 30, 1999 as a result of reduced sales volume. The market's interest-rate environment heavily influences secondary market residential loan originations and, correspondingly, consumer-refinance activity. For the second quarter of 1999, market interest rates were above second quarter 1998 levels, which led to lower secondary market originations and sales volumes. As a result, gains from sale of loans decreased to $658,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1.1 million during the same period in 1998. Net gains as a percentage of loans sold were 1.41% and 1.45% for the three-month periods ending June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Given the rise in interest rates, management believes that the secondary market sales volume, comprised of fixed rate products, will continue to decline from current levels. Management also believes that this reduction in secondary market gains on sale of loans will be partially offset by increased interest income from expected growth in the adjustable rate mortgage loan portfolio.
Non-interest income decreased from $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30,1998 to $6.0 million for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease was primarily due to the one-time gain of $4.1 million from the sale of Mayfield banking center deposits during 1998. Excluding that one-time gain on sale of deposits, non-interest income increased for the first six months of 1999. This increase was primarily due to Refunds Now ERC fees, which generated $1.1 million in fee income during 1999 compared to $400,000 recognized by the Bank during the comparable 1998 period.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense was $9.3 million in second quarter 1999, compared to $8.6 million for second quarter 1998. Non-interest expense increased from $16.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $19.2 million for the comparable period in 1999. The increases for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 were primarily attributable to costs associated with salaries, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment.
Salary and employee benefit expenses increased $700,000 for the second quarter 1999 over second quarter, 1998 and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to June 30, 1998. Republic's overall staffing level increased to 488 full-time equivalent employees ("FTE's") at June 30, 1999, compared to 412 FTE's at June 30, 1998. The increases in salaries and employee benefits were attributable to several factors. Republic opened two new banking centers and expanded its Elizabethtown, Kentucky banking center, while also expanding its commercial lending, cash management and trust activities. Additional expense was also recognized as a result of the formation of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP").
Occupancy and equipment expense increased to $1.9 million in second quarter 1999, compared to $1.8 million for second quarter 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999 occupancy and equipment expense increased 6% over the comparable period in 1998. The increase is largely attributable to the costs associated with the opening of two additional banking centers and the expansion and relocation of the Elizabethtown, Kentucky banking center. These expenses may continue to increase in the near term as the Bank intends to open a minimum of two additional locations in its existing markets as well as the new loan production office in Southern Indiana. It is also anticipated that additional expenses will be incurred for technology enhancements for deposit, lending and customer support systems, including Internet banking.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998
Securities available for sale. Securities available-for-sale consists primarily of mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies and Corporate bonds with a weighted average maturity of 3.4 years. Securities available for sale increased from $187 million at December 31, 1998 to $200 million at June 30, 1999. Republic elected to invest funds from maturing securities previously held to maturity into securities available for sale in order to provide for more flexibility in administering the investment portfolio under changing market conditions.
Securities to be held to maturity . Securities to-be-held-to-maturity decreased from $30 million at December 31, 1998 to $12 million at June 30, 1999. The decrease was due to management's decision to reinvest maturing securities into securities available for sale. Securities to-be-held-to-maturity consists primarily of U.S. Treasury and U.S government Agencies with a weighted average maturity of .3 years.
Loans. Net loans increased $74 million to $944 million at June 30, 1999 compared to $870 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in loans was primarily in the secured real estate lending portfolio. The rise in residential real estate loan volume was a result of continued consumer demand for Republic's portfolio products. Republic also had healthy growth in its commercial real estate lending portfolio as a result of the Bank's continued emphasis on the active pursuit of lending opportunities within the Bank's markets. The rise in the real estate construction portfolio was due to steady demand for new single family housing.
By design, Republic's consumer loans decreased from $57 million at December 31, 1998 to $47 million at June 30, 1999. The consumer loan portfolio consists of both secured and unsecured loans. Republic's consumer portfolio also includes the "All Purpose" and "Pre Approved" unsecured loan products. Republic is currently not originating these unsecured products and has elected to allow the remaining portfolios to paydown. These portfolios had $20 million outstanding at December 31, 1998 compared to $13 million at June 30, 1999.
Republic's home equity portfolio decreased from $107 million at December 31, 1998 to $97 million at June 30, 1999. Following strong growth in this product during 1998, Republic experienced decreased credit utilization by existing customers and increased product competition from other area banks for the consumer home equity loan business.
Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $419,000 in the second quarter, 1999, compared to $741,000 in the second quarter of 1998. Overall net charge-offs decreased 43% during the second quarter of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. The reduction in charge-offs was primarily due to the continued moderation of charge-offs in the unsecured consumer loan portfolio.
The provision for loan losses was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Charge-offs of $200,000 related to tax refund loans are included in the total charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 1999. No charge-offs for these loans were attributed to the Bank during the second quarter of 1999. Republic expects charge-offs for tax refund loans originated in 1999 to be minimal during the remainder of the year. Excluding charge-offs related to tax refund loans, net charge-offs decreased by more than 26% during year-to-date 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.
The allowance for loan losses increased slightly from $7.9 million at December 31, 1998 to $8.0 million at June 30, 1999. Management believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for loan losses at June 30, 1999. Management has considered the effect of increased commercial lending on the allowance, and that effect has been largely offset by the Bank's decreased exposure in its unsecured consumer portfolio.
Table 5 below depicts the allowance activity by loan type for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

Deposits. Total deposits were $780 million at June 30, 1999 compared to $747 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in deposits was primarily in Republic's lower cost transaction accounts. Non-interest bearing deposits have increased by more than 10% since December 31, 1998. Republic's growth in deposits was the result of management's ongoing emphasis on its commercial cash management program and retail deposit gathering. Republic plans to continue its deposit gathering initiatives by utilizing commissioned deposit originators and offering competitive products in its existing markets, including its Internet bank.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings decreased from $149 million at December 31, 1998 to $98 million at June 30, 1999. The decrease was primarily due to anticipated withdrawals of public fund deposits.
Other borrowed funds. Other borrowed funds, which consist of FHLB advances, increased from $190 million at December 31, 1998 to $240 million at June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to additional borrowings to fund loan growth. Additional investment securities were also purchased to collateralize deposits due to the bank's growth in commercial deposits.
Stockholders' equity. Total stockholders' equity decreased from $104 million at December 31, 1998 to $101 million at June 30, 1999. The decrease is primarily due to declines in the fair value of investment securities available for sale and the formation of Republic's ESOP during January 1999. Under the terms of the plan, the ESOP purchased 300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that will be allocated to Republic's employees over a ten-year period. (See discussion of ESOP on page 15)
ASSET QUALITY
Loans, including impaired loans under SFAS 114 and excluding consumer loans, are placed on non-accrual status when they become past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, unless they are adequately secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. These loans remain on non-accrual status until the borrower demonstrates the ability to remain current or the loan is deemed uncollectible and is charged off. Consumer loans are not placed on non-accrual status but are reviewed periodically and charged off when they reach 120 days past due or are deemed uncollectible. At June 30, 1999, Republic had $153,000 in consumer loans 90 days or more past due compared to $256,000 at December 31, 1998.
The Bank's level of delinquent loans declined favorably to 1.65% at June 30, 1999, compared to 2.29% at December 31, 1998. Republic also had positive declines in both its non-performing asset and loan categories. Table 6 provides information related to non-performing assets and loans 90 days or more past due.

(1) The table is exclusive of impaired loans which remained on accrual status.
(2) Interest income that would have been earned and received on non-accrual
loans was not material.
Republic defines impaired loans to be those commercial real estate and commercial loans greater than $499,999 that management has classified as doubtful (collection of all amounts due is highly questionable or improbable) or loss (all or a portion of the loan has been written off or a specific allowance for loss has been provided). Republic's policy is to charge off all or that portion of its investment in an impaired loan upon a determination it is probable the full amount may not be collected. Impaired loans consist of one commercial real estate loan that decreased slightly from $1.1 million at December 31, 1998 to $1.0 million at June 30, 1999.
LIQUIDITY
Republic maintains sufficient liquidity in order to fund loan demand and routine deposit withdrawal activity. Liquidity is managed by retaining sufficient liquid assets in the form of investment securities and core deposits to meet demand. Funding and cash flows can also be realized from the available for sale portion of the securities portfolio and paydowns from the loan portfolio. Republic's banking centers also provide access to their retail deposit markets. Approximately $45 million of repurchase agreements and money markets are attributable to three customer relationships at June 30, 1999. These funds are short-term in nature and subject to immediate withdrawal by these entities. Should these funds be removed, Republic has the ability to replenish these funds through various funding sources noted below. Republic has established lines of credit with other financial institutions, the FHLB and brokerage firms. While Republic utilizes numerous funding sources in order to meet liquidity requirements, FHLB borrowings remain a material component of management's balance sheet strategy.
Republic's objectives include preserving an adequate liquidity position. Asset/liability management control is designed to ensure safety and soundness, maintain liquidity and regulatory capital standards, and achieve an acceptable net interest margin. Republic continues to experience steady loan demand, that requires management to continue to monitor interest rate and liquidity risk and implement appropriate funding and balance sheet strategies.
CAPITAL
Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy within a framework that makes capital requirements, in part, dependent on the individual risk profiles of financial institutions. Republic's average capital to average assets ratio was 8.56% at June 30, 1999 compared to 7.58% at December 31, 1998. Republic continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for Tier I, Tier I Leverage and total risk-based capital. The Bank expects to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the "well capitalized" requirements as defined by the FDIC. Table 7 below indicates the capital ratios at June 30, 1999.

Kentucky banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid to Republic by the Bank without prior approval of the Bank's regulatory agency. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the Bank's current year's net income, as defined in the regulations, combined with the retained net income of the preceding two years, less any dividends declared during those periods. At June 30, 1999, the Bank had $18 million of retained earnings that could be utilized for payment of dividends if authorized by the Board of Directors.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK
Asset/liability management control is designed to ensure safety and soundness, maintain liquidity and regulatory capital standards, and achieve acceptable net interest income. Management considers interest rate risk to be Republic's most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the net interest income as a result of market fluctuations in interest rates.
Management regularly monitors interest rate risk in relation to prospective market and business conditions. The Board of Directors sets policy guidelines establishing maximum limits on the Bank's interest rate risk exposure. Management monitors and adjusts exposure to interest rate fluctuations as influenced by the Bank's loan and deposit portfolios.
Republic utilizes an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity. Potential changes in market interest rates and their subsequent effect on interest income are then evaluated. The model projects the effect of instantaneous movements in interest rates of both 100 and 200 basis points. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of Republic's deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model's simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.
Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining acceptable net interest income within Board approved policy limits. Republic's Asset/Liability Management Committee monitors and manages interest rate risk to maintain an acceptable level of change to net interest income resulting from market interest rate changes. Republic's Board approved policy established for interest rate risk is stated in terms of the range of permissible change in net interest income given a 100 and 200 basis point immediate and sustained increase or decrease in market interest rates.
Republic's interest sensitivity profile changed slightly from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999. Given a sustained 200 basis point downward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, Republic's base net interest income would decrease by an estimated 8.9% at June 30, 1999 compared to a decrease of 16.2% at December 31, 1998. Given a 200 basis point increase in the yield curve Republic's base net interest income would increase by an estimated 3.6% at June 30, 1999 compared to 11.0% at December 31, 1998.
The interest sensitivity profile of Republic at any point in time will be effected by a number of factors. These factors include the mix of interest sensitive assets and liabilities as well as their relative pricing schedules. The table below is representative only and is not a precise measurement of the effect of changing interest rates on Republic's interest income in the future.

YEAR 2000
Management has assessed the operational and financial implications of its year 2000 needs and developed a plan to ensure that data processing systems can properly handle the century change. Management has determined that if a business interruption as a result of the year 2000 issue occurred, that such an interruption could be material to the Bank's overall financial performance. The primary task required to prevent a potential business interruption was the installation of the most current software releases for major mainframe applications developed by Republic's third party software application providers. Mainframe software upgrades and modifications for major applications have been installed and placed into production. Year 2000 Script Testing has been conducted for mission-critical internal core processing systems for each of the thirteen test dates identified by the FFIEC. The Bank's personal computer network continues to be reviewed and upgraded. Minor software upgrades and modifications have also been required for certain other data processing applications.
Republic has identified selected employees whose primary function is year 2000 compliance. The loss of these employees could have a material adverse effect on the implementation of Republic's year 2000 plan. Republic initiated a year 2000 employee retention program, that to date has been highly successful. The program was designed to encourage and promote the retention of information system employees.
Year 2000 remediation has resulted in some delay in other data processing projects, none of which are deemed material to the Bank's financial performance. Management believes its current state of year 2000 readiness is satisfactory and in accordance with general industry and regulatory standards and recommendations. Management has contacted its major suppliers and customers and inquired about the status of their year 2000 readiness, with no material problems being noted. At this time, the Bank believes that its software providers have been able to adequately address the Bank's needs for year 2000 software functionality. However, Republic must also rely on the year 2000 readiness of additional third parties, not only its hardware and software providers, but other third parties such as public utilities and governmental units that provide important ongoing services to the Bank. Management has therefore developed a bank-wide contingency plan in the event of unforeseen circumstances in accordance with regulatory agency recommendations.
In carrying out its overall year 2000 plan, Republic will incur certain operational expenses and may replace some existing software that has not been fully amortized. Most of the expenditures associated with software application upgrades represent capitalizable costs that would have been incurred in the normal course of business. The operating expenses are being expensed as incurred, and the unamortized cost of software replaced, if any, will be charged off when the applicable software is removed from service. Republic has incurred costs of approximately $700,000 attributable to year 2000 remediation and anticipates total costs and charges to be in an approximate range of $1.2 to $1.6 million. The majority of the remaining costs to be incurred are related to the year 2000 employee retention program that are anticipated to be paid in 2001. Actual expenses could vary from management's estimates if unforeseen circumstances were to arise.

OFFICE LEASE
THIS LEASE, dated this 1st day of August, 1999, is between Jaytee Properties, a Kentucky general partnership, hereinafter referred to as "Landlord" and Republic Bank & Trust Company, hereinafter referred to as the "Tenant". As parties hereto, Landlord and Tenant agree:
ARTICLE I. PREMISES
SECTION 1. Tenant leases from Landlord and Landlord leases to Tenant the following described premises (hereinafter called the "Premises"):
Being approximately 8,941 square feet of rentable space located on the first floor and 1,887 square feet located on the lower level in the Republic Bank Building (hereinafter called "the Building") located at 9600 Brownsboro Road in Jefferson County, Kentucky, to include 4 drive through lanes and accompanying underground.
SECTION 2. The Premises shall be provided in "as is" condition with the exception of the base construction to be performed by Landlord as described in Exhibit A attached hereto. Any remodeling construction and/or redecorating within the Premises shall be performed to the complete and absolute satisfaction of Landlord. The Landlord's written approval shall be obtained by Tenant prior to commencement of any and all improvements and the construction of improvements shall be supervised and approved by Landlord on a continuous basis.
SECTION 3. This lease confers no rights with respect to the Building other than tenancy of the Premises and the non-exclusive license to use, during such tenancy, the following facilities provided by Landlord: (i) toilet facilities on the floor which the Premises are located (and such other toilet facilities located elsewhere in the Building as may be designated by Landlord for the general use of tenants); and (ii) the public entrances to, and main floor lobby in, the Building; (iii) the passenger elevators serving the Building; (iv) the areas adjacent to the Building dedicated from time to time for parking purposes by Landlord for the parking of motor vehicles; (v) the roadways and passageways adjacent to the Building for passage by motor vehicle and on foot, as said roadways and passageways may respectively be dedicated by Landlord; and (vi) a predominant portion of the signage available with the building, including an exclusive time and temperature street sign as well as exclusive signage on the east and west sides of the building.
ARTICLE II. TERM
Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hires and takes the Premises from Landlord, for a term of five (5) Lease Years commencing 30 days from Landlord's delivery of the Premises to the Tenant for construction of Tenants improvements, (the "Lease Commencement Date") and expiring at midnight on the last day of the sixtieth month thereafter unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. "Lease Year" shall mean a year period beginning on the first day of a month, which is the first calendar month of the term of the Lease and ending on the day before the anniversary of the first day of such year.
ARTICLE III. RENT
SECTION 1. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord's office in the Building or at such place as Landlord may from time to time designate, as rental for the Premises, the sum of Thirteen thousand four hundred ninety-four and 00/100 ($13,494.00) per month (the "Rent"). Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the first five Lease Years beginning on the Lease Commencement Date.
SECTION 2. In the event that the Rent, or any other sum payable by
Tenant to Landlord under this lease, shall not be received (paid) within ten
(10) days of the due date thereof, Landlord may, at its option, add a monthly
service charge, at a rate which shall be the greater of $25.00 or 1% for each
month or fraction thereof from such rent due date during which such Rent or
other sum remains unpaid. Further, in the event that any check which has been
remitted to Landlord by Tenant for payment of the Rent, or any other sum payable
under this Lease, shall not be honored upon its presentation for payment, then
the monthly service charge shall be similarly imposed on said amount from the
due date until paid. Acceptance by the Landlord for such service charge shall
not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any default nor shall it restrict
the remedies otherwise available to Landlord hereunder.
ARTICLE IV. USE
The Premises are to be used only for the purpose of conducting therein the operation of a banking and related financial services provider and for no other business or purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done in or about the Premises anything which is illegal or unlawful; or which is of a hazardous or dangerous nature; or which will increase the rate(s) of insurance upon the Building. Tenant shall (and shall cause its employees to) observe the rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof, as the same may be amended by Landlord from time to time, and Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws and ordinances and all regulations applicable to the use and occupancy of the Building.
ARTICLE V. POSSESSION
If Landlord permits Tenant to enter into possession of the Premises prior to the Lease Commencement Date, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during such prior period. Tenant's taking of possession of the Premises represents Tenant's conclusion that the Premises are in good and tenantable condition and acceptable for Tenant's use thereof as provided in this Lease.
ARTICLE VI. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
Landlord shall furnish reasonable amounts of heat, air conditioning, water and elevator service (collectively "Services") to the Premises during the times and in the manner that Landlord determines appropriate for the furnishing of such services in the Building, all such services being subject to energy availability or Energy Consumption Regulations which may be hereafter promulgated. It is expressly agreed that should any local, state or federal governmental body, agency or public utility restrict or reduce the amount of fuel or energy which may be utilized to provide the utilities and services as specified above, then such restriction or reduction, and the reduction in utilities and services which may result therefrom, shall in no way create or constitute a default on the part of the Landlord, and there shall be no reduction or abatement in the Rent or any other sum payable by Tenant thereunder. Further, Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, damage, inconvenience, or otherwise which may arise or result should the furnishing of any such services by interrupted or prevented by fire, accident, strike, riot, act of God, the making of necessary repairs or improvements, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control or prevention of Landlord, nor, subject only to the provisions of Article X of this Lease, shall the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder abate.
ARTICLE VII. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR; ALTERATIONS
SECTION 1. Landlord shall keep and maintain the roof, foundations, floor slab, and all structural walls (including windows and plate glass), gutters and downspouts of the Premises in good order and repair. Landlord shall keep or cause to be kept in good repair all common areas of the Building and appurtenant areas, including lighting systems; drainage systems; mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems; heat and air conditioning units; ductwork, lines, pipes, and conduits serving the Premises; and parking areas and driveways. Any maintenance, repairs or replacements to any of the foregoing made necessary by any acts or omissions of the Tenant, its agents or employees, shall be paid for by Tenant and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by Tenant or its agents or employees. In the event, after reasonable notice to Landlord, Landlord fails to make any repairs as hereinbefore provided, then Tenant shall have the right to make these repairs and deduct the cost thereof from any future rental payments.
SECTION 2.

form, condition and quality as prior to the damage or destruction. If Landlord

possible and thereafter shall proceed without interruption and be completed

intent to rebuild and repair, except for work stoppages on account of labor

untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the entire Premises identified in

The Landlord shall remain responsible for any injury to, or death of any person or any loss of or damage to property sustained by any person whatsoever which may be caused by the Building or any equipment or appurtenances thereto or thereof being or becoming defective or out of repair.

in the payment of any sum due under this Lease for ten (10) days after notice;

completion); or (c) vacate or abandon the Premises, or fail to conduct its
business therein, for a period of five (5) consecutive business days, and then

by law in respect of such default, including, at Landlord's election, the right
to terminate this Lease, and all Tenant's rights hereunder shall be terminated.
The liability of Tenant for the Rent, and other payments provided for herein shall not be extinguished for the balance of this Lease, and Tenant shall make good to Landlord any deficiency arising from such reletting of the Premises, plus the costs and expenses of renovating, altering and reletting the Premises, and including attorneys' fees or brokers' fees incident to Landlord's reentry or reletting. Tenant shall pay any such deficiency each month, as the amount thereof is ascertained by Landlord, or, at Landlord's option, Landlord may recover, in addition to any other sums, the amount at the time of judgement by which the unpaid Rent, and other payments for the balance of the term, after judgement, exceeds the amount thereof which Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, discounted at the rate of 7%. In reletting the Premises, Landlord may grant rent concessions and Tenant shall not be credited therefor. Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the right of Landlord to recover for indemnification under Article X herein arising prior to the termination of this Lease.
SECTION 2. Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of its obligations in this Lease contained unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days, or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed of perform any such obligation.

Tenant covenants and agrees that from and after the date of delivery of the Premises from Landlord to Tenant and at all times during possession thereof, Tenant will procure and maintain in full force and effect, at its sole cost and expense, the following types of insurance, in the minimum amounts specified below:
A. Public Liability and Property Damage. Personal injury liability, bodily injury liability and property damage insurance in a single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), of which insurance shall insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement as to liability for injury to or death of persons and injury or damage to property as provided in Article X hereof. All of such insurance shall be primary and noncontributing with any insurance which may be carried by Landlord. The adequacy of the coverage afforded by said liability and property damage insurance shall be subject to review by Landlord from time to time, and Landlord retains the right to increase or decrease said limits at such times.
B. Tenant Improvements. Insurance covering all of the lease-hold improvements, (excepting only the structural components of the Building and demising partitions), and Tenant's trade fixtures, and personal property from time to time in and/or upon the Premises, in an amount of not less than the full replacement cost thereof without deduction for depreciation, providing protection against any peril included within the classification "Fire and Extended Coverage", together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief. Any policy proceeds shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed unless this Lease shall cease and terminate under the applicable provisions herein. If the Premises shall not be repaired or restored following damage or destruction in accordance with other provisions herein, Landlord shall received from such insurance proceeds and amount equal to the replacement cost of the Tenant's leasehold improvements.
C. Business Interruption. Business interruption insurance with sufficient coverage to provide for payment of rent and other fixed costs during any interruption of Tenant's business by reason of fire or other similar cause.
SECTION 2. All policies shall be for the mutual and joint benefit and
protection of Landlord and Tenant, with Landlord being named as an additional
insured. Certificates of such policies shall be delivered to Landlord within ten
(10) days after delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant and thereafter
within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of each such policy.
All public liability and property damage policies shall contain a provision that
Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to
recovery under said policies for any loss occasioned to it, its servants,
agents, and employees by reason of the acts, omissions and/or negligence of
Tenant. As often as any such policy shall expire or terminate, renewal or
additional policies shall be procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner
and to like extent. All policies of insurance must contain a provision that the
company writing said policy will give to Landlord thirty (30) days' notice, in
writing, in advance of any cancellation or lapse, or the effective date of any
reduction in the amounts of insurance. All public liability, property damage and
other casualty policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry. Landlord may, from time to time, request Tenant to provide Landlord with a certified copy of all insurance coverage carried by Tenant.
SECTION 3. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand the amount of any increase in premiums for insurance against loss by fire that may be charged during the term of this Lease on the amount of insurance maintained in force by Landlord on the Building, of which the Premises are a part, resulting from Tenant doing any act in or about said Premises which does so increase the insurance rates, whether or not Landlord shall have consented to such act on the part of Tenant. If Tenant installs upon the Premises any electrical equipment which constitutes an overload on the electrical lines of the Premises, Tenant shall at its own expense make whatever changes are necessary to comply with the requirements of the insurance underwriters any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's consent to such overloading.
ARTICLE XIII. LIENS

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in investigating, defending or clearing such lien to be cleared within thirty (30) days of filing of same unless Tenant shall have provided security acceptable to landlord against any loss to Landlord on account thereof. As a condition to Landlord's consent pursuant to Article VII, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with reasonable payment and performance bonds of those persons contracted by Tenant to perform work on or in the Premises that could be the subject of such a lien in order to protect the Premises, the Landlord, and any mortgagee from and against liens of mechanics and materialmen performing work in or providing services and equipment to the Premises.

Any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation, or liquidation, or any change in the ownership of, or power to vote the majority of its outstanding voting stock resulting in a change in ownership of more than 50% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Tenant shall constitute an assignment for the purposes of the paragraph. If consent is once given by Landlord to any such assignment or subletting, such consent shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for obtaining Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Any legal costs incurred by Landlord related to such assignment or subletting shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Tenant shall provide Landlord with executed copies of any Assignment. Transfer or Sublease Agreement entered into as provided herein.

SECTION 2. The Premises shall be provided in "as is" condition. Tenant acknowledges he has examined the Premises, knows the condition of the Premises, and accepts the Premises in the condition as currently existing. Any remodeling construction and/or redecorating within the Premises shall be performed to the complete and absolute satisfaction of Landlord. The Landlord's written approval shall be obtained by Tenant prior to commencement of any and all improvements and the construction of improvements shall be supervised and approved by Landlord on a continuous basis.
SECTION 3. This lease confers no rights with respect to the Building other than tenancy of the Premises and the non-exclusive license to use the Building, during such tenancy.
ARTICLE II. TERM
Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hires and takes the Premises from Landlord, for a one year term commencing on the first day of April 1999, or, upon actual possession no later than sixty days from Landlord's delivery of the Premises to the Tenant for construction of Tenant's improvements, whichever occurs later (the "Lease Commencement Date") and expiring at midnight on the last day of the twelfth month thereafter unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. "Lease Year" shall mean a year period beginning on the first day of a month, which is the first calendar month of the term of the Lease and ending on the day before the anniversary of the first day of such year.
ARTICLE III. RENT
SECTION 1. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord's office in the Building or at such place as Landlord may from time to time designate, as rental for the Premises, the sum of Four thousand dollars and no cents($ 4,000.00) per month (the "Rent").

its option, add a monthly service charge, at a rate which shall be the
greater of $ 25.00 or 1% for each month or fraction thereof from such
rent due date during which such Rent or other sum remains unpaid.

under this Lease, shall not be honored upon its presentation for
payment, then the monthly service charge shall be similarly imposed on
said amount from the due date until paid. Acceptance by the Landlord
for such service charge shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord
of any default nor shall it restrict the remedies otherwise available
to Landlord hereunder.
ARTICLE IV. USE
The Premises are to be used only for the purpose of conducting the operation of a Bank and any and all related services and for no other business or purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord.

A. Public Liability and Property Damage. Personal injury liability, bodily injury liability and property damage insurance in a single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), of which insurance shall insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement as to liability for injury to or death of persons and injury or damage to property as provided in Article X hereof. All of such insurance shall be primary and noncontributing with any insurance that may be carried by Landlord. The adequacy of the coverage afforded by said liability and property damage insurance shall be subject to review by Landlord from time to time, and Landlord retains the right to increase or decrease said limits at such times.
B. Tenant Improvements. Insurance covering all of the lease-hold improvements, (excepting only the structural components of the Building and demising partitions), and Tenant's trade fixtures, and personal property from time to time in and/or upon the Premises, in an amount of not less than the full replacement cost thereof without deduction for depreciation, providing protection against any peril included within the classification "Fire and Extended Coverage", together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief. Any policy proceeds shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed unless this Lease shall cease and terminate under the applicable provisions herein. If the Premises shall not be repaired or restored following damage or destruction in accordance with other provisions herein, Landlord shall received from such insurance proceeds and amount equal to the replacement cost of the Tenant's leasehold improvements.
C. Business Interruption. Business interruption insurance with sufficient coverage to provide for payment of rent and other fixed costs during any interruption of Tenant's business by reason of fire or other similar cause.
SECTION 2. All policies shall be for the mutual and joint benefit and protection of Landlord and Tenant, with Landlord being named as an additional insured. Certificates of such policies shall be delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days after delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant and thereafter within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of each such policy. All public liability and property damage policies shall contain a provision that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recovery under said policies for any loss occasioned to it, its servants, agents, and employees by reason of the acts, omissions and/or negligence of Tenant. As often as any such policy shall expire or terminate, renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner and to like extent. All policies of insurance must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give to Landlord thirty (30) days' notice, in writing, in advance of any cancellation or lapse, or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of insurance. All public liability, property damage and other casualty policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry. Landlord may, from time to time, request Tenant to provide Landlord with a certified copy of all insurance coverage carried by Tenant.
SECTION 3. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand the amount of any increase in premiums for insurance against loss by fire that may be charged during the term of this Lease on the amount of insurance maintained in force by Landlord on the Building, of which the Premises are a part, resulting from Tenant doing any act in or about said Premises which does so increase the insurance rates, whether or not Landlord shall have consented to such act on the part of Tenant. If Tenant installs upon the Premises any electrical equipment which constitutes an overload on the electrical lines of the Premises,
Tenant shall at its own expense make whatever changes are necessary to comply with the requirements of the insurance underwriters any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereover, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's consent to such overloading.
ARTICLE XIV. LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Premises free and clear of, and shall indemnify Landlord against all mechanics' liens and other liens on account of work done for or materials, supplies and equipment furnished to Tenant by persons claiming under it for maintenance, repairs and alterations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in investigating, defending or clearing such lien to be cleared within thirty (30) days of filing of same unless Tenant shall have provided security acceptable to landlord against any loss to Landlord on account thereof. As a condition to Landlord's consent pursuant to Article VII, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with reasonable payment and performance bonds of those persons contracted by Tenant to perform work on or in the Premises that could be the subject of such a lien in order to protect the Premises, the Landlord, and any mortgagee from and against liens of mechanics and materialmen performing work in or providing services and equipment to the Premises.

Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall not assign, transfer or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, at a rent to Assignee, Transferee or Sublessee, greater than $19 per square foot. Any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation, or liquidation, or any change in the ownership of, or power to vote the majority of its outstanding voting stock resulting in a change in ownership of more than 50% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Tenant shall constitute an assignment for the purposes of the paragraph. If consent is once given by Landlord to any such assignment or subletting, such consent shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for obtaining Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Any legal costs incurred by Landlord related to such assignment or subletting shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Tenant shall provide Landlord with executed copies of any Assignment. Transfer or Sublease Agreement entered into as provided herein.

costs and damages, shall be deemed to be additional rental hereunder and shall be due from Tenant to Landlord on the first day of the month following the incurring of such respective expenses, except as otherwise herein specifically provided.
SECTION 11. If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any action for any relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease, including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of rent, additional rent or other payments hereunder or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees in such suit, at trial and on appeal, and such attorneys' fees shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action.
SECTION 12. This Lease contains all covenants and agreements between Landlord and Tenant relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises and Tenant's licensed use of the Building and other matters set forth in this Lease. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to the same shall be valid or of any force or effect, and the covenants and agreements of this Lease cannot be altered, changed, modified or added to except in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. No representation, inducement, understanding or anything of any nature whatsoever made, stated or represented on Landlord's behalf, either orally or in writing (except this Lease) has induced Tenant to enter into this Lease.
SECTION 13. Any provision or provisions of this Lease, which shall prove to be invalid, void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof, shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 14. Except with respect to those conditions, covenants and agreements of this Lease which by their nature could only be applicable after the commencement of, during or throughout the term of this Lease, all of the other conditions, covenants and agreements of this Lease shall be deemed to be effective as of the date of execution of this Lease.
SECTION 15. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has not engaged any broker, finder or other person who would be entitled to any commission or fee in respect of the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Lease, and shall indemnify each other against loss, cost, liability, or expense incurred by either as a result of any claim asserted by any such broker, finder or other person on the basis on any arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, in breach of the foregoing warranty.
SECTION 16. Any and all consents and approvals of Landlord required by or referred to in the Lease shall not be unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 17. Tenant shall provide Landlord with certified copies of its quarterly call reports along with copies of Republic Bancorp's annual audited consolidated financial statements.

SECTION 19. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this lease, in the event the Tenant is closed or taken over by the banking authority of the State of Kentucky, or other bank supervisory authority, the Landlord may terminate the lease only with the concurrence of such banking authority or other bank supervisory authority, and any such authority shall in any event have the election either to continue or to terminate the lease: provided, that in the event this lease is terminated, the maximum claim of Landlord for damages or indemnity for injury resulting from the rejection or abandonment of the unexpired term of the lease shall in no event be in an amount exceeding the rent reserved by the lease, without acceleration, for the year next succeeding the date of the surrender of the premises to the Landlord, or the date of re-entry of the Lessor, whichever first occurs, whether before or after the closing of the bank, plus an amount equal to the unpaid rent accrued without acceleration up to such date.
SECTION 20. Tenant shall have a five-year option to renew this lease for additional one year periods at a rent adjustment in accordance with an agreement between the parties. Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant's intent to exercise such option within 90 days of the expiration of the preceding term.
