<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT    <BR>  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under rules established by the SEC, the Compensation Committee is required to disclose: (1)&nbsp;the Committee's compensation policies applicable to Republic
Bancorp's executive officers; (2)&nbsp;the relationship of executive compensation to corporate performance; and (3)&nbsp;the Committee's basis for determining the compensation of Republic
Bancorp's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). Pursuant to those requirements, the Committee has prepared this report for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Compensation Committee is established as a separate committee of the board of directors of Republic Bancorp. The Compensation Committee of the board of directors of Republic Bancorp
consisting of Larry Hayes, Sandra Metts Snowden and Charles E. "Andy" Anderson was responsible for establishing compensation, compensation policies of the chairman and other selected key executive
officers (collectively "key executives") of the Bank. Republic does not separately compensate each of the key executive officers of the Bank that is also an executive of the Company. The chairman of
the board and the CEO played a significant role in determining key executive compensation. The compensation packages, consisting of salary, bonus, stock options and other employee benefits, were
intended to be competitive in the marketplace, and provide incentives to meet and exceed individual and corporate performance goals. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
in prior years, performance appraisals were completed on each key executive except the chairman. The chairman's compensation is tied more closely to the profitability of Republic
Bancorp than to any other performance factor. The purpose of the performance appraisals for the remaining key executives is to provide, as objectively as possible, a documented method for reviewing
their job performance, an appraisal of their potential to be assigned projects of enhanced responsibility and to provide a written development plan with specific goals and objectives that will promote
further professional development while providing motivation for superior future performance. Specific quantitative goals (financial goals) that were established for each key executive for the year may
be tied to operating profits, growth in loans, deposits and fees, as well as expense control and reduction. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General
performance goals may include special projects related to Republic Bancorp's strategic plan, expansion opportunities, unique marketing opportunities, customer satisfaction,
operation efficiencies, business referrals and community involvement. The Committee also considers certain subjective considerations of management effectiveness, maintenance of regulatory compliance
standards and professional leadership. Each key executive's compensation for the next fiscal year, other than the chairman, is also determined by evaluating the degree to which the respective key
executive has attained his or her written goals and objectives. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Republic
Bancorp participates in various local and national compensation surveys for key executives. These surveys are utilized only as a general guideline for establishing the key
executives' level of compensation. The Committee recognizes that compensation to key executives should be reasonably representative of that typically offered in Republic Bancorp's market area in order
to attract, motivate, reward and retain key executives. The Committee's </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>
philosophy is to provide compensation to key executives that is not only competitive with that of comparable institutions, but that also provides retention incentive for the highly skilled management
necessary to ensure the long-term success of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Compensation Committee has the responsibility of assuring that the compensation for the key executives is appropriate. The Committee requires that there be a specific relationship
between executive compensation and the performance of Republic, but it also recognizes additional factors beyond financial performance such as salaries paid to peers, attainment of
non-financial corporate objectives and other factors which act to contribute to shareholder value. The achievement of both annual and long-term corporate objectives is
considered, with the emphasis being placed on annual performance. Recommendations of the chairman and CEO are expected to continue to be important to the Committee's deliberations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Committee is also responsible for the overall administration of the stock option program and other benefit programs. The Corporation's stock option program provides for the granting
of options to those employees that have demonstrated superior performance and who are deemed by the Committee to be important to the Company's future success, with a view toward maximizing shareholder
value. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Compensation Committee approved the key executive compensation packages for the year 2002 on January&nbsp;10, 2002. </FONT></P>

January&nbsp;29, 2003, will be considered untimely, and the proxy solicited by Republic for next year's annual meeting may confer discretionary authority to vote on any such matters without a
