WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Officer, FBC Bancorp, Inc., a Florida corporation (“FBC”) and
Florida Bank of Commerce, a Florida state bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of
FBC (“FBC Bank” and together with FBC, the “Targets”) are parties to an

WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions, of an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 9, 2016 between the Corporation,
the Bank and the Targets (the “Merger Agreement”), the parties intend to effect
a strategic business combination whereby (i) FBC will merge with and into the
Corporation, with the Corporation as the surviving entity (the “FBC Merger”),
and immediately thereafter (ii) FBC Bank will merge with and into the Bank, with
the Bank as the surviving entity (the “Bank Merger” and together with the FBC
Merger, the “Mergers”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Mergers, the Corporation and the Bank desire to
induce the Officer to commence employment with the Corporation and the Bank, and
the Officer hereby agrees to commence employment with the Corporation and the
Bank, effective on the Closing Date as defined in the Merger Agreement (the
“Effective Date”), on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set
forth;

WHEREAS, in consideration of the Corporation and the Bank entering into and
performing its obligations under the Merger Agreement and the Officer’s receipt
of substantial consideration as a result of the Mergers, the Corporation and the
Bank desire enter into certain restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 12
and 13 of this Agreement to protect their interests following the Mergers and
the Officer agrees to be bound by such restrictive covenants;

WHEREAS, subject to, and upon, consummation of the Mergers pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Merger Agreement, this Agreement replaces and supersedes
all previous employment agreements between the Officer and the Targets,
including the Predecessor Agreement; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement is conditioned upon the consummation of the Mergers
pursuant to the Merger Agreement and shall be void and of no effect if the

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the covenants
and agreements herein contained, the Corporation, the Bank and the Officer
covenant and agree as follows:

1. Employment. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Corporation and the Bank agree to employ the Officer and the Officer agrees to
render services as set forth herein. As of the Effective Date, any prior
employment agreement entered into

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

between the Officer and the Targets, including the Predecessor Agreement, are
hereby terminated and of no further force or effect, and Officer hereby waives
and releases all any and all rights and claims she may have under the
Predecessor Agreement as of the Effective Date. In furtherance of the foregoing,
the Officer hereby waives any and all payments, rights or claims to the
foregoing that such Officer might otherwise have under any bonus plan or
incentive plan of the Targets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the
preceding two sentences shall affect Officer’s right to receive (i) the payment
provided for in Section 8(e) of the Predecessor Agreement, (ii) any payment
required under Section 8(g) of the Predecessor Agreement solely by reason of the
payment provided for in Section 8(e) of the Predecessor Agreement, and (iii) any
accrued and unpaid base salary under the Predecessor Agreement through the
Effective Date.

2. Position and Duties. During the term of this Agreement, the Officer shall
serve as the Executive Vice President of the Corporation and the Co-President
and Chief Banking Officer of the Bank and shall undertake such duties,
consistent with such titles, as may be assigned to the Officer from time to time
by the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Corporation (referred to as the
“Board”) and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, including serving on
Board committees as appointed from time to time by the Board, and assisting in
keeping the Bank in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In
performing the Officer’s duties pursuant to this Agreement, the Officer shall
devote the Officer’s full business time, energy, skill and reasonable best
efforts to promote the Corporation and the Bank and its respective business and
affairs; provided that, subject to Sections 10, 12 and 13 of this Agreement, the
Officer shall have the right to manage and pursue personal and family interests,
and make passive investments in securities, real estate, and other assets, and
also to participate in charitable and community activities and organizations, so
long as such activities do not adversely affect the performance by Officer of
the Officer’s duties and obligations to the Corporation or the Bank. The Board
shall, in its sole and exclusive discretion, assign reasonable duties and
responsibilities to the Officer, and the Officer commits to perform those duties
to the best of the Officer’s ability. The Corporation shall cause the Officer to
be appointed to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of each of the
Corporation and the Bank, and thereafter during the term of this Agreement, the
Corporation shall cause the Officer to be nominated for re-election to the Board
of Directors of the Corporation and shall re-elect the Officer to the Board of
Directors of the Bank, provided, however, that upon the termination of the
Officer’s employment for any reason, Officer shall immediately resign from her
position on the Board of Directors of each of the Corporation and the Bank.

3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of two (2) years,
commencing on the Effective Date and subject to earlier termination as provided
herein (the “Term”). Beginning on the first day after the Effective Date and on
each day thereafter, the Term of this Agreement shall be renewed and extended
for a period ending two years from that day, unless otherwise terminated as
hereinafter set forth. After termination of the employment of the Officer for
any reason whatsoever, the Corporation, Bank and Officer shall continue to be
subject to the provisions of Sections 10 through 23, inclusive, of this
Agreement.

4. Compensation. During the term of this Agreement, the Bank shall pay or
provide to the Officer as compensation for the services of the Officer set forth
in Section 2 hereof:

(a) A base annual salary of at least $300,000 payable in such periodic
installments consistent with other employees of the Bank (such base salary to be
subject to increase each year in the discretion of the Board); and

(b) Such incentive bonuses as the Board in its discretion may award.

5. Benefits and Insurance. The Bank shall provide to the Officer such medical,
health, and life insurance as well as any other benefits as the Board shall
determine from time to time as are afforded to similarly titled
executives. During the term of this Agreement, the Bank shall provide the
Officer with exclusive use of an automobile mutually agreed upon by the Officer
and the Bank. This automobile shall be a mid-size car or comparable sports
utility vehicle. The Bank shall be responsible and shall pay for all costs
associated with the operation and maintenance of such automobile, including,
without limitation, insurance coverage, repairs, maintenance and other operating
and incidental expenses, including registration, fuel and oil.

6. Vacation. The Officer may take such weeks of vacation time as authorized by
the Bank’s personnel policies and at such periods during each year as the Chief

periods.

7. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Bank shall reimburse the Officer for
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the Officer’s employment
hereunder subject to guidelines issued from time to time by the Board and upon

federal income tax laws and regulations supporting reimbursement of such
expenses.

8. Termination; Change in Control. The employment of the Officer may be
terminated as follows:

(a) By the Corporation by action taken by its Board or its Chief Executive
Officer, at any time and immediately upon written notice to the Officer if said
discharge is for cause. In the notice of termination furnished to the Officer
under this Section 8(a), the reason or reasons for said termination shall be
given and, if no reason or reasons are given for said termination, said
termination shall be deemed to be without cause and therefore termination
pursuant to Section 8(e). Any one or more of the following conditions shall be
deemed to be grounds for termination of the employment of the Officer for cause
under this Section 8(a) (“Cause”):

(i) The conviction of, plea of nolo contendere, or entry of judgment against the
Officer by a civil or criminal court of competent jurisdiction of a felony or
first degree misdemeanor, or any other offense or wrongdoing involving
dishonesty, embezzlement, fraud, misappropriation of funds, any act of moral
turpitude or dishonesty;

(ii) The finding by a court of competent jurisdiction in a criminal or civil
action or by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or state blue sky
agency in an administrative proceeding that the Officer has violated any federal
or state securities law;

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii) If the Officer shall fail or refuse to comply with the obligations
required of Officer as set forth in this Agreement or the reasonable duties
assigned to the Officer from time to time, or comply with the reasonable
policies of the Corporation or the Bank established from time to time;

(iv) If the Officer shall have engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit,
personal dishonesty, or breach of fiduciary duty, or any other conduct, which in
any such case has adversely affected, or may adversely affect, the business or
reputation of the Corporation or the Bank;

(v) If the Officer shall have violated any banking law or regulation, memorandum
of understanding, cease and desist order, or other agreement with any banking
agency having jurisdiction over the Bank;

(vi) If the Officer shall have become subject to continuing intemperance in the
use of alcohol or drugs which has adversely affected, or may adversely affect,
the business or reputation of the Corporation or the Bank, or has been convicted
of a crime involving moral turpitude;

(vii) If the Officer shall have filed, or had filed against the Officer, any
petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency laws;

(viii) The unauthorized disclosure by the Officer of Confidential Information,
as defined in this Agreement, concerning the Corporation, the Bank or any of
their respective affiliates or subsidiaries, unless such disclosure was required
by an order of a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter or a summons,
subpoena or order in the nature thereof of any legislative body (including any
committee thereof) or any governmental or administrative agency; or

(ix) The performance of services by the Officer, other than in the course of
properly carrying out the Officer’s duties under this Agreement and as otherwise
provided herein, for any other corporation or person that competes with the Bank
while the Officer is employed by the Corporation or the Bank.

In the event of termination for Cause, the Bank shall pay the Officer only
salary, vacation, and bonus amounts accrued and unpaid as of the effective date
of termination.

(b) By the Officer upon the lapse of 30 days following written notice by the
Officer to the Corporation of termination of Officer’s employment hereunder for
Good Reason (as defined below), which notice shall reasonably describe the Good
Reason for which the Officer’s employment is being terminated; provided,
however, that the Corporation shall have the opportunity to cure such Good
Reason, during such 30-day period, and the Officer’s employment shall continue
in effect during such time. If such Good Reason shall be cured during such time,
the Officer’s employment and the obligations of the Corporation and the Bank
hereunder shall not terminate as a result of the notice which has been given
with respect to such Good Reason. Cure of any Good Reason with or without notice
from the Officer shall not

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

relieve the Corporation or the Bank from any obligations to the Officer under
this Agreement or otherwise and shall not affect the Officer’s rights upon the
reoccurrence of the same, or the occurrence of any other, Good Reason. Any
notice of termination for Good Reason must be delivered by the Officer to the
Corporation within sixty (60) days of the event providing grounds for Good
Reason termination and must contain a reasonably detailed description of the
relevant facts and circumstances. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good
Reason” shall mean (i) any breach by the Corporation or the Bank of Sections 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, or 18 of this Agreement, (ii) any material breach by the Corporation
or the Bank of any other provision of this Agreement, or (iii) reassignment
which assigns full-time employment duties to Officer to a location more than
thirty-five (35) miles from the Officer’s principal office on the date of this
Agreement (provided, however, that the Officer shall be required to regularly
travel to the Corporation’s various offices and customers as a core function of
the Officer’s duties, and such obligations and travel requirements shall not
give rise to a termination for “Good Reason”).

If the Officer’s employment is terminated by the Officer for Good Reason, the
Bank shall, for a period of 12 months after said termination (i) pay the Officer
the sum of the annual base salary in effect under Section 4(a) on the date of
said termination, plus an amount equal to the last bonus paid by the Bank to the
Officer, which amount shall be paid in equal installments on each regularly
scheduled pay period and (ii) reimburse the Officer for the costs of continued
coverage under the Bank’s medical insurance plan in accordance with the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), less the amount that the Officer would be
required to contribute for such health coverage if the Officer were an active
employee.

(c) By the Officer upon the lapse of 30 days following written notice by the
Officer to the Corporation of the Officer’s resignation for other than Good
Reason; provided, however, that the Corporation, in its discretion, may cause
such termination to be effective at any time during such 30-day period. If the
Officer’s employment is terminated because of the Officer’s resignation, the
Bank shall be obligated to pay to the Officer any salary, vacation, and bonus
amounts accrued and unpaid as of the effective date of such resignation.

(d) If the Officer’s employment is terminated by the death or disability (i.e.,
the inability of the Officer by reason of illness or physical or mental
disability to perform the employment duties required of the Officer, as
determined by the Corporation and the Bank, for a period of 90 consecutive days)
of the Officer, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and the Bank shall
be obligated to pay to the Officer or the Officer’s estate any salary, vacation,
and bonus amounts accrued and unpaid at the date of disability or death.

(e) By the Corporation, by action taken by its Board or its Chief Executive
Officer, at any time if said discharge is without Cause. If the Officer’s
employment is terminated without Cause, the Bank shall, for a period of 12
months after said termination (i) pay to the Officer the sum of the annual base
salary in effect under Section 4(a) on the date of said termination plus an
amount equal to the last bonus paid by the Bank to the Officer, which amount
shall be paid in equal installments on each regularly scheduled pay period and
(ii) reimburse the Officer for the costs of continued coverage under the Bank’s
medical insurance plan in accordance with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(COBRA), less the amount that the Officer would be required to contribute for
such health coverage if the Officer were an active employee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f) If a Change in Control (as defined below) shall occur at any time during the
term of this Agreement, the Officer may terminate her employment for any reason
or no reason by delivering a notice in writing (the “Notice of Termination”) to
the Corporation within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control which
termination shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such Notice of
Termination. In the event that the Officer delivers a Notice of Termination to
the Corporation, or the Officer’s employment is terminated without Cause by the
Corporation within two (2) years following a Change in Control, Officer shall be
entitled to receive, within twenty (20) days of termination, a lump sum payment
in an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (i) her base annual salary and
(ii) the last annual cash bonus earned by the Officer. For purposes of this
Agreement, a Change in Control shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation of the
Corporation with an unaffiliated entity, but not including a merger or
consolidation in which any individual or group of the shareholders of the
Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation are the beneficial
owners of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the
surviving corporation immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the
acquisition by any individual or group of beneficial ownership of more than 50%
of the outstanding shares of Corporation common stock, or (iii) the sale by the
Corporation or the Bank of all or substantially all of their respective
assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall only be
deemed to occur under this Section 8(f) if it constitutes a “change in control”
as defined under Section 409A of the Code. It is the intent of the parties that
benefits under this Section 8(f) shall be in lieu of any other benefit payments
that the Corporation or Bank may otherwise be obligated to make to the Officer
under this Section 8. Therefore, if any benefits are paid under this Section
8(f), no subsequent benefits shall be paid under any other subsection of this
Section 8, and shall not be paid for a second time under this Section 8(f).

(g) Notwithstanding anything is this Agreement to the contrary, any benefits
payable by the Corporation or the Bank to the Officer which constitute a
“deferral of compensation” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.409A-l (b), and which are payable by reason of the Officer’s
termination, shall not be payable unless the Officer’s termination of employment
qualifies as a “separation of service” as that term is defined in Treasury
Regulations Section 1.409A-l (h) (“Separation from Service”).

(h) (1) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the
Officer is considered a Specified Employee (as defined below), any benefit
distributions which would otherwise be made to the Officer due to a Separation
from Service which are limited under Code Section 409A because the Officer is a
Specified Employee, shall not be made during the first six months following
Separation from Service. Rather, any distribution which would otherwise be paid
to the Officer during such period shall be accumulated and paid to the Officer
in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Separation
from Service. All subsequent distributions shall be paid in the manner
specified.

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Specified Employee” means an
employee who at the time of termination of employment is a key employee of the
Bank, if any stock of the Bank (or any affiliate that would be considered a
“service recipient” under Code Section 409A) is publicly traded on an
established securities market or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, an
employee is a key employee if the employee meets the requirements of Code
Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii), or (iii) (applied in accordance with the
regulations thereunder and disregarding section 416(i)(5) at any time during the
12-month period ending on December 31 (the “identification period”). If the
employee is a key employee during an identification period, the employee is
treated as a key employee for purposes of this Agreement during the twelve-month
period that begins on the first day of April following the close of the
identification period.

(i) Any amounts paid to the Officer under this Agreement prior to the Officer’s
termination of employment with the Bank shall be paid during the short-term
deferral period as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

(j) This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered consistent with Code
Section 409A.

(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Officer will not be entitled to any payments
or benefits under Section 8(b) or 8(e) (unless such termination event related to
the payments or benefits occurs on or after a Change in Control) unless and
until Officer executes a release of all claims that Officer or any of Officer’s
affiliates or beneficiaries may have against the Bank or any affiliate, and
their officers, directors, successors and assigns, releasing said persons from
any and all claims, rights, demands, causes of action, suits, arbitrations or
grievances relating to the employment relationship, including claims under the
Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), but not including claims for
benefits under tax-qualified plans or other benefit plans in which the Officer
is vested, claims for benefits required by applicable law or claims with respect
to obligations set forth in this Agreement that survive the termination of this
Agreement. In order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code
and the ADEA, the release must be provided to Officer no later than the date of
her Separation from Service and Officer must execute the release within
twenty-one (21) days after the date of termination without subsequent revocation
by Officer within seven (7) days after execution of the release.

(l) Officer shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided
for in this Section 8 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the
amount of payment or the benefit provided in this Section 8 be reduced by any
compensation or earned by Officer as the result of employment by another
employer or by reason of Officer’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement
or other benefits after the date of termination of employment or otherwise.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Notice. All notices permitted or required to be given to either party under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) in
the case of delivery, when addressed to the other party as set forth at the end
of this Agreement and delivered to said address (and, in the case of the
Corporation or the Bank, at its main office), (b) in the case of mailing, three
days after the same has been mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested,
and deposited postage prepaid in the U.S. Mails, addressed to the other party at
the address as set forth at the end of this Agreement, and (c) in any other
case, when actually received by the other party. Either party may change the
address at which said notice is to be given by delivering notice of such to the
other party to this Agreement in the manner set forth herein.

10. Confidential Information. While employed, Officer will have access to and
become acquainted with Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary
Information, including but not limited to, financial, personnel, sales,
customers, clients, scientific, technical and other information regarding
formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques,
operations, plans and processes that are owned by the Corporation or the Bank,
actually or potentially used in the operation of the Corporation’s or Bank’s
business, or obtained from third parties under an agreement of confidentiality,
and that such information constitutes the Corporation’s and the Bank’s
Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary Information. Officer
hereby expressly agrees that such Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and
Proprietary Information are and shall remain the trade secrets and property of
the Corporation or the Bank, as the case may be, and Officer agrees that Officer
will not at any time during the term of this Agreement or after the termination
of this Agreement, disclose or use in any way whatsoever any of such
confidential information. Furthermore, Officer specifically covenants and agrees
not to make any duplicates, copies, or reconstructions of such materials, and
that if any such duplicates, copies, or reconstructions are made, they shall
become the property of the Corporation upon their creation.

For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and
Proprietary Information shall mean all information of a confidential or
proprietary nature (including such information described herein), in any form or
medium, that relates to: (a) internal business information, including financial
information and information relating to strategic and staffing plans, business,
training, marketing, promotional and sales plans, cost, rate and pricing
structures; (b) identities of, individual requirements of, specific contractual
arrangements with, the Corporation’s or Bank’s clients, customers, vendors and
other trade related business relations and their confidential information; (c)
object code and source code to the Corporation’s or the Bank’s software,

know-how, compilations of data and databases relating thereto, including
information containing proprietary databases and the use and functions thereof;
(d) inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, designs, analyses,
drawings, reports and all similar or related information, whether patentable or
not; and (e) other intellectual property rights of the Corporation or the Bank.

Officer agrees that all files, records, documents, drawings, specifications,
equipment, software, and similar items or technological information whether
maintained in hard copy or by electronic means relating to the Corporation or
the Bank’s business, whether prepared by Officer or others, are and shall remain
exclusively the property of the Corporation or the Bank, as applicable, and that
they shall be removed from the premises or, if kept online, from the computer
systems only with the express prior written consent of the Board. Upon
termination of

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

employment, or at any earlier time requested by the Corporation or the Bank,
Officer shall promptly return all Confidential and/or Proprietary Information or
inventions in Officer’s possession in whatever form, as well as any other
property of the Corporation or the Bank, which is or has been in the Officer’s
possession or under the Officer’s control. Officer agrees not to delete, modify,
or bulk copy any work files prior to or subsequent to termination and the
Officer agrees to reimburse all costs associated with data recovery if this
provision of the Agreement is breached.

11. Legitimate Business Interests; Injunction Without Bond. The Officer
acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement are
necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Bank including,
but not limited to, trade secrets and other valuable confidential business
information. In the event there is a breach or threatened breach by the Officer
of the provisions of Sections 10, 12, or 13, the Corporation shall be entitled
to an injunction without bond to restrain such breach or threatened breach, and
the prevailing party in any such proceeding will be entitled to reimbursement
for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection
therewith. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Corporation and
the Bank from pursuing such other remedies available to it for any such breach
or threatened breach including recovery of damages from the Officer.

12. Covenant Not to Compete. The Officer agrees that during the period of time
the Officer is retained to provide services to the Corporation and/or the Bank,
and thereafter for a period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the termination
of Officer’s services for any reason whatsoever, Officer will not enter the
employ of, or have any interest in, directly or indirectly (either as executive,
partner, director, officer, consultant, principal, agent or employee), any other
bank or financial institution or any entity which either accepts deposits or
makes loans (whether presently existing or subsequently established) and which
has an office any time during the period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the
termination of Officer’s services that is located within a radius of 35 miles of
any office of the Bank in existence at the time of termination; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not preclude any ownership by the Officer of
an amount not to exceed 5% of the equity securities of any entity which is
subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the 1934 Act and the shares of
Corporation common stock owned by the Officer at the time of termination of
employment.

13. Covenant Not to Solicit. The Officer agrees that during the period of time
the Officer is retained to provide services to the Corporation and/or the Bank,
and thereafter for a period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the termination
of Officer’s services for any reason whatsoever, the Officer will not (a)
solicit for employment by Officer, or anyone else, or employ any employee of the
Bank or the Corporation or any person who was an employee of the Bank or
Corporation within twelve (12) months prior to such solicitation of employment;
(b) induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of the Bank or the Corporation to
terminate such employee’s employment; (c) induce, or attempt to induce, anyone
having a business relationship with the Bank or the Corporation to terminate or
curtail such relationship or, on behalf of himself or anyone else, compete with
the Bank or the Corporation; (d) knowingly make any untrue statement concerning
the Corporation or the Bank or their respective directors or officers to anyone;
or (e) permit anyone controlled by the Officer, or any person acting on behalf
of the Officer or anyone controlled by an employee of the Officer to do any of
the foregoing.

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Officer acknowledges and agrees that the Bank and the Corporation have spent and
continue to spend considerable time, energy, and money in training employees and
shareholders and that the Bank and the Corporation would suffer significant
damages if Officer were to either encourage one or more of such persons to no
longer work for the Bank or the Corporation or offer to have one or more of such
persons work for Officer. Further, Officer agrees and acknowledges that the
above non-solicitation covenants are reasonable in that they give the Bank and
the Corporation a protection to which they are entitled and yet does not impair
Officer’s ability to earn a livelihood.

14. Remedies. The Officer agrees that the restrictions set forth in this
Agreement are fair and reasonable. The covenants set forth in this Agreement are
not dependent covenants and any claim against the Corporation or the Bank,
whether arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement or contract between
the Corporation or the Bank and Officer, shall not be a defense to a claim
against Officer for a breach or alleged breach of any of the covenants of
Officer contained in this Agreement. It is expressly understood by and between
the parties hereto that the covenants contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a series of separate covenants. The Officer understands and agrees
that if any of the separate covenants are judicially held invalid or
unenforceable, such holding shall not release Officer from Officer’s obligations
under the remaining covenants of this Agreement. If in any judicial proceedings,
a court shall refuse to enforce any or all of the separate covenants because
taken together they are more extensive (whether as to geographic area, duration,
scope of business or otherwise) than necessary to protect the business and
goodwill of the Corporation and the Bank, it is expressly understood and agreed
between the parties hereto that those separate covenants which, if eliminated or
restricted, would permit the remaining separate covenants or the restricted
separate covenant to be enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purposes of
such proceeding, be eliminated from the provisions of this Agreement or
restriction, as the case may be.

15. Invalid Provision. In the event any provision should be or become invalid or
unenforceable, such facts shall not affect the validity and enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement. Similarly, if the scope of any
restriction or covenant contained herein should be or become too broad or
extensive to permit enforcement thereof to its full extent, then any such
restriction or covenant shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by
law, and Officer hereby consents and agrees that the scope of any such
restriction or covenant may be modified accordingly in any judicial proceeding
brought to enforce such restriction or covenant.

16. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. The sole and
exclusive venue for any action arising out of this Agreement shall be a federal
or state court situated in Hillsborough County, Florida, and the parties to this
Agreement agree to be subject to the personal jurisdiction of such Court and
that service on each party shall be valid if served by certified mail, return
receipt requested or hand delivery.

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17. Arbitration. Except with regard to Section 11, all disputes between the
parties concerning the performance, breach, construction or interpretation of
this Agreement, or in any manner arising out of this Agreement, shall be
submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association, which arbitration shall be carried out in the manner
set forth below:

(a) Within fifteen (15) days after written notice by one party to the other
party of its demand for arbitration, which demand shall set forth the name and
address of its designated arbitrator, the other party shall select its
designated arbitrator and so notify the demanding party. Within fifteen (15)
days thereafter, the two arbitrators so selected shall select the third
arbitrator. The dispute shall be heard by the arbitrators within ninety (90)
days after selection of the third arbitrator. The decision of any two
arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties. Should any party or arbitrator
fail to make a selection, the American Arbitration Association shall designate
such arbitrator upon the application of either party. The decision of the

22. Regulatory Actions; Clawback Requirements. The following provisions shall be
applicable to the parties:

(a) If the Officer is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs pursuant to notice served
under Section 8(e)(3) or Section 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
(“FDIA”) (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(3) and 1818(g)(1)), the Bank’s obligations under
this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of suspension, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings. If the charges and the notice are dismissed, the Bank
may, in its discretion: (i) pay the Officer all or part of the compensation
withheld while its obligations under this Agreement were suspended and (ii)
reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

(b) If the Officer is removed from office and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under
Section 8(e)(4) or Section 8(g)(1) of the FDIA, all obligations of the Bank
under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but
vested rights of the Officer and the Bank as of the date of termination shall
not be affected.

(c) If the Bank is in default, as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the FDIA, all
obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of such default,
but vested rights of the Officer and the Bank as of the date of termination
shall not be affected.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any
amounts paid or payable under the FDIA to the Officer pursuant to this
Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance
with Sections 18(k) and 32(a) of the FDIA and Part 359 of the FDIC’s rules and
regulations, and any regulations promulgated under the FDIA.

(e) This Agreement shall be subject to applicable federal and state law
regarding clawback of executive compensation. In the event that, during the term

agency with regulatory authority over the Bank, Officer and the Bank agree to
negotiate in good faith an amendment incorporating a clawback provision into
this Agreement.
