EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


 


THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
dated as of December 8, 2015, is made by and between First Community Bank (the “Employer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of First Community Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the “Company”), and Robin D. Brown, an individual resident
of South Carolina (the “Executive”).


The Employer presently employs the Executive
as its Chief Human Resources and Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President. The Employer recognizes that the Executive’s
contribution to the growth and success of the Employer is substantial. The Employer desires to provide for the continued employment
of the Executive and to make certain changes in the Executive’s employment arrangements which the Employer has determined
will reinforce and encourage the continued dedication of the Executive to the Employer and will promote the best interests of the
Employer and the Company’s shareholders. The Executive is willing to terminate her interests and rights under the existing
employment agreement with the Employer and to continue to serve the Employer on the terms and conditions herein provided.


In consideration of the foregoing, the
mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:


1.           
Employment. The Employer shall continue to employ the Executive, and the Executive
shall continue to serve the Employer, as Chief Human Resources and Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President of the Employer
upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Executive shall have such authority and responsibilities consistent with her
position as are set forth in the Employer’s Bylaws or assigned by the Employer’s board of directors (the “Board”)
from time to time. The Executive shall devote her full business time, attention, skill and efforts to the performance of her duties
hereunder, except during periods of illness or periods of vacation and leaves of absence consistent with the Employer’s policy.
The Executive may devote reasonable periods to service as a director or advisor to other organizations, to charitable and community
activities, and to managing her personal investments, provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the performance
of her duties hereunder and are not in conflict or competitive with, or adverse to, the interests of the Employer. The Executive
agrees to conduct herself in accordance with the code of ethics for officers and employees adopted by the Employer, as amended
from time to time. 


2.           
Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, the Executive’s employment
under this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and be for a term of three years (the “Term”). At the end of
each day of the Term, the Term shall be extended for an additional day so that the remaining term shall continue to be three years
(unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 4); provided that the Executive or the Employer may at any time, by written notice,
fix the Term to a finite term of three years commencing with the date of the notice, in which case the Agreement shall continue
through its remaining term but shall not be extended absent written agreement by both the Employer and the Executive.


3.           
Compensation and Benefits.


(a)          
The Employer shall pay the Executive a rate of annual base salary of $178,000.00 which shall
be paid in accordance with the Employer’s standard payroll procedures, which shall be no less frequently than monthly. The
Employer shall have the right to increase this salary from time to time in accordance with the salary payment practices of the
Employer. The Board shall review the Executive’s salary at least annually and may increase the Executive’s base salary
if it determines in its sole discretion that an increase is appropriate. 






    	 	1	 



     

    

(b)         
The Executive shall participate in the Employer’s long-term equity incentive program
and be eligible for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, and other awards thereunder or under any similar plan adopted
by the Employer. Any options or similar awards shall be issued to Executive at an exercise price of not less than the stock’s
current fair market value as of the date of grant, and the number of shares subject to such grant shall be fixed on the date of
grant.


(c)          
The Executive shall participate in all retirement, health, welfare, insurance, and other benefit
plans or programs of the Employer now or hereafter applicable generally to employees of the Employer or to a class of employees
that includes senior executives of the Employer. The Employer shall require and pay the cost of an annual physical for the Executive,
and the Executive hereby authorizes the examining physician and other relevant persons and entities to release the results of that
annual physical to the Employer (and the Executive will execute one or more separate release authorizations if and as requested
by the Employer).


(d)         
The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable travel and other expenses, including
cell phone expenses related to the Executive’s duties, which are incurred and accounted for in accordance with the normal
practices of the Employer. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for such expenses within sixty days of Executive’s
notice to Employer of such expense.


(e)          
The Employer shall provide the Executive with annual paid time off, which includes sick leave,
in accordance with the Employer’s Benefit policy as in effect from time to time, and which shall be taken in accordance with
any banking rules or regulations governing paid time off leave. Except as allowed in accordance with the Employer’s Benefit
policy, paid time off days may not be carried forward into following calendar years, and any payments made by the Employer to the
Executive as compensation for paid time off days shall be paid in accordance with the Employer’s standard payroll procedures,
which shall be no less frequently than monthly.


(f)          
The Executive shall be eligible to receive cash bonuses based on the Executive’s achievement
of specified goals and criteria. These goals and criteria may include both annual and long-term goals, may provide for vesting
over a specified time period, and shall be established annually by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors. Unless
otherwise set forth in a bonus plan that complies with Section 409A, any bonus payment made pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall
be made not later than March 15 of the year after the end of the year for which the bonus was earned by the Executive.


4.           
Termination.


(a)          
The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated prior to the end of
the Term only as provided in this Section 4.


(b)         
The Executive’s employment under this Agreement will be terminated upon the death of
the Executive. In this event, the Employer shall pay Executive’s estate any sums due her as base salary and/or reimbursement
of expenses through the end of the month during which death occurred in accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll practices,
which shall mean no less frequently than monthly. The Employer shall also pay the Executive’s estate any bonus earned through
the date of death. Any bonus for previous years which was not yet paid will be paid pursuant to the terms as set forth in Section
3(f). Any bonus that is earned in the year of death will be paid pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 3(f); provided that
to the extent that the bonus is performance-based, the amount of the bonus (if any) will be calculated by the Company taking into
account the performance of the Company for the entire year, and/or the performance of the Executive through the date of death,
as applicable, and prorated through the date of the Executive’s death.

(c)          
The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment on account of the Disability of
the Executive under this Section 4(c). During the period of any Disability leading up to the Executive’s Termination of Employment
under this provision, the Employer shall continue to pay the Executive her full base salary at the rate then in effect and all
perquisites and other benefits (other than any bonus) in accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll schedule (and in no
event less frequently than monthly) until the Executive becomes eligible for benefits under any long-term disability plan or insurance
program maintained by the Employer, provided that the amount of any such payments to the Executive shall be reduced by the sum
of the amounts, if any, payable to the Executive for the same period under any other disability benefit or pension plan covering
the Executive. Furthermore, the Employer shall pay the Executive any bonus earned through the date of Disability. Any bonus for
previous years, or the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated in accordance with this Section 4(c), which
was not yet paid will be paid pursuant to the terms as set forth in Section 3(f). Any bonus that is earned in the year of termination
on account of Disability will be paid pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 3(f); provided that to the extent that the bonus
is performance-based, the amount of the bonus (if any) will be calculated by the Company taking into account the performance of
the Company for the entire year, and/or the performance of the Executive through the date of termination, as applicable, and prorated
through the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment on account of Disability. Nothing herein shall prohibit
the Employer from hiring an acting chief human resources and marketing officer during the period of any disability of the Executive.


(d)         
The Employer may terminate the Executive’s Employment for Cause upon delivery of a Notice
of Termination to the Executive. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause under this provision, the Executive
shall receive only any sums due her as base salary and/or reimbursement of expenses through the date of termination, which shall
be paid in accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll practices, which shall mean no less frequently than monthly.


(e)          
The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause upon delivery of
a Notice of Termination to the Executive. If the Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause under this provision,
subject to Section 4(h) and also to the possibility of a six-month delay described in Section 20, on the sixtieth (60th) day after
the date of termination, the Employer will pay to the Executive an amount equal to twice the amount of the Executive’s monthly
base salary as in effect immediately prior to his termination of employment, and thereafter on the first day of the month for the
next 10 months, the Employer shall pay to the Executive severance compensation in an amount equal to 100% of her monthly base salary
as in effect immediately prior to her termination of employment. Employer shall also pay the Executive any bonus earned through
the date of termination (including any amounts awarded for previous years but which were not yet vested). Any bonus for previous
years, or the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated in accordance with this Section 4(e), which was not
yet paid will be paid pursuant to the terms as set forth in Section 3(f). Any bonus that is earned in the year of the termination
of the Executive’s employment without Cause will be paid pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 3(f); provided that to
the extent that the bonus is performance-based, the amount of the bonus (if any) will be calculated by the Company taking into
account the performance of the Company for the entire year, and/or the performance of the Executive through the date of termination,
as applicable, and prorated through the date of the Executive’s termination of employment without Cause.






    	 	3	 



     

    

(f)          
The Executive may terminate her employment at any time by delivering a Notice of Termination
at least 14 days prior to such termination, and such termination shall not in and of itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a
breach of this Agreement. If the Executive terminates her employment under this provision, the Executive shall receive any sums
due her as base salary and/or reimbursement of expenses through the date of such termination, which shall be paid in accordance
with the Employer’s normal payroll practices, which shall mean no less frequently than monthly. In addition, if the Executive
terminates her employment under this Section 4(f) and if (and only if) such termination constitutes a Retirement, then the Employer
shall pay the Executive any bonus earned through the date of Retirement, as follows: (i) any bonus for previous years which was
not yet paid will be paid pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 3(f), and (ii) any bonus that is earned in the year of Retirement
will be paid pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 3(f); provided that to the extent that the bonus is performance-based,
the amount of the bonus (if any) will be calculated by the Company taking into account the performance of the Company for the entire
year, and/or the performance of the Executive through the date of Retirement, as applicable, and prorated through the date of the
Executive’s Retirement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means a termination of employment by the
Executive under this Section 4(f) that occurs upon or after both (a) the Executive’s attainment of age 62 and (b) when Executive’s
years of service to the Company and its subsidiaries (such years of service determined in accordance with the rules for determining
years of service under the Company’s 401(k) Plan) is at least ten (10).


(g)         
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to a termination of the Executive’s
employment, and regardless of whether the Executive remains employed by the Employer or its successor following a Change in Control,
the Executive shall be entitled to the following:


(i)           
the Employer shall pay the Executive upon the 15th day following the Change in
Control cash compensation in a single lump sum payment in an amount equal to her then current annual base salary multiplied by
two, as well as any bonus earned through the date of the Change in Control, in each case subject to the provisions of Section 4(j)
below; 


(ii)         
in addition, if the Executive is terminated by the Employer without Cause within two years
following the Change in Control (a “Qualifying Termination”), then Executive may continue participation, in accordance
with the terms of the applicable benefits plans, in the Company’s group health plan pursuant to plan continuation rules under
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (including regulations related thereto, “COBRA”), subject to any
amendments to COBRA after the date of this Agreement. In accordance with COBRA (and subject to any amendments to COBRA after the
date of this Agreement), assuming Executive is covered under the Company’s group health plan as of her date of termination,
Executive will be entitled to elect COBRA continuation coverage for the legally required COBRA period (the “Continuation
Period”). If Executive elects COBRA coverage for group health coverage in connection with a Qualifying Termination, then,
she will be obligated to pay only the portion of the full COBRA cost of the coverage equal to an active employee’s share
of premiums for coverage for the respective plan year and the Company’s share of such premiums (the “Employer-Provided
COBRA Premium”) shall be treated as taxable income to Executive.






    	 	4	 



     

    

In addition, on the date that is sixty (60) days after
a Qualifying Termination, the Company shall pay to the Executive a single lump sum payment equal to six times the amount of the
initial monthly Employer-Provided COBRA Premium.


Notwithstanding the above, the Employer’s obligations
hereunder with respect to the foregoing benefits provided in this subsection (ii) shall be eliminated if and when the Executive
is offered Affordable Care Act compliant group health coverage from a subsequent employer.


In addition, upon a Qualifying Termination, to the extent
that “portable” life insurance coverage if offered under the Company’s life insurance programs and after a Qualifying
termination the Executive continues to pay for “portable” life insurance coverage that was provided by the Employer
immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination, the Employer shall reimburse the life insurance premiums (with respect to each
such life insurance premium payment, such reimbursement shall be limited to the amount of the life insurance premium that the Employer
would have paid or otherwise provided for the Executive had the Executive remained employed by the Employer) paid by the Executive
with respect to such life insurance coverage with respect to the two-year period ending immediately after such Qualifying Termination.


(iii)        
the restrictions on any outstanding incentive awards (including restricted stock) granted
to the Executive under the Company’s or the Bank’s long-term equity incentive program or any other incentive plan or
arrangement shall lapse and such awards shall become 100% vested, all stock options and stock appreciation rights granted to the
Executive shall become immediately exercisable and shall become 100% vested, and all performance units granted to the Executive
shall become 100% vested, in each case subject to the provisions of Section 4(j) below.


(h)         
With the exceptions of the express provisions of this Section 4, and the express terms of
any benefit plan under which the Executive is a participant, it is agreed that, upon Termination of the Executive’s employment,
the Employer shall have no obligation to the Executive for, and the Executive waives and relinquishes, any further compensation
or benefits (exclusive of COBRA benefits). Unless otherwise stated in this Section 4, the effect of termination on any outstanding
incentive awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, or other incentives shall be governed by the terms
of the applicable benefit or incentive plan and/or the agreements governing such incentives. Following the termination of the Executive’s
employment pursuant to Section 4(e), if (and only if) the Executive shall execute within 52 days of the date of termination, and
not timely revoke during any revocation period provided pursuant to such release, a release substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A, then the Employer shall pay the applicable severance described herein. 


(i)           
The Employer is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, the
Board, the board of directors of the Company, or a shareholder of the Company may then cause or attempt to cause the Employer to
refuse to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, or may cause or attempt to cause the Employer to institute, or may
institute, litigation seeking to have this Agreement declared unenforceable, or may take, or attempt to take, other action to deny
the Executive the benefits intended under this Agreement. In these circumstances, the purpose of this Agreement could be frustrated.
It is the intent of the parties that the Executive not be required to incur the legal fees and expenses associated with the protection
or enforcement of the Executive’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or other legal action because such costs would
substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Executive hereunder, nor be bound to negotiate any settlement
of the Executive’s rights hereunder under threat of incurring such costs. Accordingly, if at any time after a Change in Control
of the Company, it should appear to the Executive that the Employer is acting or has acted contrary to or is failing or has failed
to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement for the reason that it regards this Agreement to be void or unenforceable
or for any other reason, or that the Employer has purported to terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause or is in the
course of doing so in either case contrary to this Agreement, or in the event that the Employer or any other person takes any action
to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish
or recover (other than as required by law) from the Executive the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Executive
hereunder, and the Executive has acted in good faith to perform the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, the Employer
irrevocably authorizes the Executive from time to time to retain counsel of the Executive’s choice at the expense of the
Employer to represent the Executive in connection with the protection and enforcement of the Executive’s rights hereunder,
including without limitation representation in connection with termination of the Executive’s employment contrary to this
Agreement or with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Executive or the
Employer or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Employer, in any jurisdiction. The reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel selected from time to time by the Executive as hereinabove provided shall be paid or reimbursed to
the Executive by the Employer on a regular, periodic basis upon presentation by the Executive of a statement or statements prepared
by such counsel. If other officers or key executives of the Employer have retained counsel in connection with the protection and
enforcement of their rights under similar agreements between them and the Employer, and, unless in the Executive’s sole judgment
use of common counsel could be prejudicial to the Executive or would not be likely to reduce the fees and expenses chargeable hereunder
to the Employer, the Executive agrees to use the Executive’s best efforts to agree with such other officers or executives
to retain common counsel.






    	 	5	 



     

    

(j)           
The parties intend that the severance payments and other compensation provided for herein
are reasonable compensation for the Executive’s services to the Employer and shall not constitute “excess parachute
payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. As used herein, “the “Code” means the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 and any regulations thereunder. In the event that Tax Counsel (as defined below) determines that the payments
provided for herein constitute “excess parachute payments,” then the payments or benefits payable hereunder or otherwise
that constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G (“Covered Payments”) shall be reduced
to an amount the value of which is $1.00 less than the maximum amount that could be paid to the Executive without the Covered Payments
being treated as “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G. The Covered Payments shall be reduced by the Company
pursuant to the foregoing sentence in a manner that Tax Counsel determines maximizes the Executive’s economic position. In
applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code,
and where Tax Counsel determines that two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times,
such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero.


All determinations
required to be made under this Section 4(j), and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made
by tax counsel (which may be a law firm, compensation consultant or an accounting firm) appointed by the Company (the “Tax
Counsel”), which shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations to the Company within 10 business days
of having made such determination. The Tax Counsel shall consult with any compensation consultants, accounting firm and/or other
legal counsel selected by the Company in determining which payments to, or for the benefit of, the Executive are to be deemed to
be ‘parachute payments’ within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code. In connection with making determinations
under this Section 4(j), Tax Counsel shall take into account, to the extent applicable, the value of any reasonable compensation
for services to be rendered by the Executive before or after the applicable change in ownership or control, including the non-competition
provisions, if any, applicable to the Executive under Section 9 and any other non-competition provisions that may apply to the
Executive, and the Company shall cooperate in the valuation of any such services, including any non-competition provisions






    	 	6	 



     

    

(k)         
If the Executive is suspended or temporarily prohibited from participating, in any way or
to any degree, in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by (1) a notice served under section 8(e) or (g) of Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1818 (e) or (g)) or (2) as a result of any other regulatory or legal action directed at the Executive
by any regulatory or law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the Executive (each of the foregoing referred to herein as
a “Suspension Action”), and if this Agreement is not terminated, the Employer’s obligations under this Agreement
shall be suspended as of the earlier of the effective date of such Suspension Action or the date on which the Executive was provided
notice of the Suspension Action, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges underlying the Suspension Action are
dismissed, the Bank shall:


(i)           
pay on the first day of the first month following such dismissal of charges (or as provided
elsewhere in this Agreement) the Executive all of the compensation withheld while the obligations under this Agreement were suspended;
and 


(ii)         
reinstate any such obligations which were suspended.


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if the Executive is removed or permanently prohibited from participating, in any way or to any
degree, in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by (1) an order issued under section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1818 (e)(4) or (g)(1)) or (2) any other legal or law enforcement action (each of the foregoing
referred to herein as a “Removal Action”), all obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall terminate as
of the effective date of the Removal Action, but any vested rights of the parties hereto shall not be affected.


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if the Employer is in default (as defined in section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1813(x)(1)), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph
(4)(k) shall not affect any vested rights of the parties hereto.


Any
payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with
12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder.


Any payments made to the Executive pursuant
to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to applicable withholdings and deductions.


5.           
Ownership of Work Product. The Employer shall own all Work Product arising during the
course of the Executive’s employment (prior, present or future). For purposes hereof, “Work Product” shall mean
all intellectual property rights, including all Trade Secrets, U.S. and international copyrights, patentable inventions, and other
intellectual property rights in any programming, documentation, technology or other work product that relates to the Employer,
its business or its customers and that the Executive conceives, develops, or delivers to the Employer at any time during her employment,
during or outside normal working hours, in or away from the facilities of the Employer, and whether or not requested by the Employer.
If the Work Product contains any materials, programming or intellectual property rights that the Executive conceived or developed
prior to, and independent of, the Executive’s work for the Employer, the Executive agrees to point out the pre-existing items
to the Employer and the Executive grants the Employer a worldwide, unrestricted, royalty-free right, including the right to sublicense
such items. The Executive agrees to take such actions and execute such further acknowledgments and assignments as the Employer
may reasonably request to give effect to this provision.






    	 	7	 



     

    

6.           
Protection of Trade Secrets. The Executive agrees to maintain in strict confidence
and, except as necessary to perform her duties for the Employer, the Executive agrees not to use or disclose any Trade Secrets
of the Employer during or after her employment. “Trade Secret” means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation,
program, device, method, technique, process, drawing, cost data or customer list, that: (i) derives economic value, actual or potential,
from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic
value from its disclosure or use; and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its
secrecy.


7.           
Protection of Other Confidential Information. In addition, the Executive agrees to
maintain in strict confidence and, except as necessary to perform her duties for the Employer, not to use or disclose any Confidential
Business Information of the Employer during her employment and for a period of 24 months following termination of the Executive’s
employment. “Confidential Business Information” shall mean any internal, non-public information (other than Trade Secrets
already addressed above) concerning the Employer’s financial position and results of operations (including revenues, assets,
net income, etc.); annual and long-range business plans; product or service plans; marketing plans and methods; training, educational
and administrative manuals; customer and supplier information and purchase histories; and employee lists. The provisions of Sections
6 and 7 shall also apply to protect Trade Secrets and Confidential Business Information of third parties provided to the Employer
under an obligation of secrecy.


8.           
Return of Materials. The Executive shall surrender to the Employer, promptly upon its
request and in any event upon termination of the Executive’s employment, all media, documents, notebooks, computer programs,
handbooks, data files, models, samples, price lists, drawings, customer lists, prospect data, or other material of any nature whatsoever
(in tangible or electronic form) in the Executive’s possession or control, including all copies thereof, relating to the
Employer, its business, or its customers. Upon the request of the Employer, Executive shall certify in writing compliance with
the foregoing requirement.


9.           
Restrictive Covenants.


(a)          
No Solicitation of Customers. During the Executive’s employment with the Employer
and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Executive shall not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the
Employer), either directly or indirectly, on the Executive’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, (A) solicit,
divert, or appropriate to or for a Competing Business, or (B) attempt to solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a Competing
Business, any person or entity that is or was a customer of the Employer or any of its Affiliates at any time during the 12 months
prior to the date of termination and with whom the Executive has had material contact. The parties agree that solicitation of such
a customer to acquire stock in a Competing Business during this time period would be a violation of this Section 9(a).






    	 	8	 



     

    

(b)         
No Recruitment of Personnel. During the Executive’s employment with the Employer
and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Executive shall not, either directly or indirectly, on the Executive’s own
behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, (A) solicit, divert, or hire away, or (B) attempt to solicit, divert, or hire
away, to any Competing Business located in the Territory, any employee of or consultant to the Employer or any of its Affiliates,
regardless of whether the employee or consultant is full-time or temporary, the employment or engagement is pursuant to written
agreement, or the employment is for a determined period or is at will.


(c)          
Non-Competition Agreement. During the Executive’s employment with the Employer
and for a period of 12 months following any termination (as opposed to expiration) of this Agreement, the Executive shall not (without
the prior written consent of the Employer) compete with the Employer or any of its Affiliates by, directly or indirectly, forming,
serving as an organizer, director or officer of, or consultant to, or acquiring or maintaining more than a 1% passive investment
in, a depository financial institution or holding company therefor if such depository institution or holding company has, or upon
formation will have, one or more offices or branches located in the Territory. This restriction does not apply following a Change
in Control.


(d)         
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may serve as an officer of or consultant to a
depository institution or holding company therefor even though such institution operates one or more offices or branches in the
Territory, if the Executive’s employment does not directly involve, in whole or in part, the depository financial institution’s
or holding company’s operations in the Territory.


10.        
Independent Provisions. The provisions in each of the above Sections 9(a), 9(b), and
9(c) are independent, and the unenforceability of any one provision shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision.


11.        
Successors; Binding Agreement. The rights and obligations of this Agreement shall bind
and inure to the benefit of the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation in which the Employer is a party, or any assignee
of all or substantially all of the Employer’s business and properties. The Executive’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement may not be assigned by her, except that her right to receive accrued but unpaid compensation, unreimbursed expenses
and other rights, if any, provided under this Agreement which survive termination of this Agreement shall pass after death to the
personal representatives of her estate.


12.        
Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided
for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses last given by each party to the other; provided,
however, that all notices to the Employer shall be directed to the attention of the Employer with a copy to the Secretary
of the Employer. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof.


13.        
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance

14.        
Non-Waiver. Failure of the Employer to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement
or any rights with respect thereto shall in no way be considered to be a waiver of such provisions or rights, or in any way affect
the validity of this Agreement.


15.        
Enforcement. The Executive agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach
by the Executive of any covenant contained in Section 6, 7, 9(a), 9(b), or 9(c) hereof, the resulting injuries to the Employer
would be difficult or impossible to estimate accurately, even though irreparable injury or damages would certainly result. Accordingly,
an award of legal damages, if without other relief, would be inadequate to protect the Employer. The Executive, therefore, agrees
that in the event of any such breach, the Employer shall be entitled to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction an injunction
to restrain the breach or anticipated breach of any such covenant, and to obtain any other available legal, equitable, statutory,
or contractual relief. Should the Employer have cause to seek such relief, no bond shall be required from the Employer, and the
Executive shall pay all attorney’s fees and court costs which the Employer may incur to the extent the Employer prevails
in its enforcement action.


16.        
Saving Clause. If any term, provision or condition of this Agreement is determined
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement remain in full force,
if the essential terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement for each party remain valid, binding and enforceable. It is
the intention of the parties that, if any court construes any provision or clause of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, to
be illegal, void, or unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area or matter covered thereby, such court
shall reduce the duration, area, or matter of such provision, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable
and shall be enforced. The Executive and the Employer hereby agree that they will negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement
from time to time to modify the terms of Sections 9(a), 9(b) or 9(c), the definition of the term “Territory,” and the
definition of the term “Business,” to reflect changes in the Employer’s business and affairs so that the scope
of the limitations placed on the Executive’s activities by Section 9 accomplishes the parties’ intent in relation to
the then current facts and circumstances. Any such amendment shall be effective only when completed in writing and signed by the
Executive and the Employer. The parties agree that all of the terms, provisions and conditions contained in Section 4 and Section
9 constitute essential terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement. The parties further agree that no part of Section 4
is independent of any part of Section 9, and that no part of Section 9 is independent of any part of Section 4. If a material part
of Section 9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable and is not revised by the court
to be enforceable and enforced, then all of Section 4 shall automatically become void and unenforceable. If it is unclear or disputed
whether the part of Section 9 held invalid, illegal or unenforceable (and not so revised by the court) is material, the parties
shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on materiality or immateriality, and if they are unable to agree within a reasonable
period of time, the part in question shall be deemed material. If the parties agree the part in question is not material, they
shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a modification necessary to make whole any party adversely affected by the holding
of invalidly, illegality or unenforceability, and if they are not able to agree upon such a modification within a reasonable period
of time, a material part of Section 9 will be deemed to have been held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable. Each party agrees to maintain the status quo ante, to the extent necessary to avoid gaining any advantage over
the other party or causing the other party to suffer a disadvantage, for so long as it is obligated to negotiate in good faith
but the parties have not reached agreement. A violation of the covenant in the preceding sentence shall result in a material part
of Section 4 being deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

be limited to the extent required by any federal or state regulatory agency having authority over the Bank. The Executive agrees
that compliance by the Bank with such regulatory restrictions, even to the extent that compensation or other benefits paid to the

anything to the contrary herein, any incentive payments to the Executive shall be subject to the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform

20.        
Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. All payments that may be made and
benefits that may be provided pursuant to this Agreement are intended to qualify for an exclusion from Section 409A of the Code

such short-term deferral exclusion. Any remaining payments under Sections 3 and 4 are intended to qualify for the exclusion for

3 and 4 shall be treated as a “separate payment”, as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b)(2), for purposes

Section 4 shall be paid to the Executive no later than the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in

result in the inclusion in Executive’s federal gross income on account of a failure under Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.
The parties intend to administer and interpret this Agreement to carry out such intentions. However, Company does not represent,
warrant or guarantee that any payments that may be made pursuant to this Agreement will not result in inclusion in Executive’s
gross income, or any penalty, pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code or any similar state statute or regulation. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the right to any payment (including the provision of benefits) hereunder
provides for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code, the payment shall
be paid (or provided) in accordance with the following:






    	 	12	 



     

    

(a)If the Executive is a “Specified Employee”
within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Executive’s termination (the “Separation
Date”), and if an exemption from the six month delay requirement of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) is not available, then
no such payment that is payable on account of the Executive’s termination shall be made or commence during the period beginning
on the Separation Date and ending on the date that is six months following the Separation Date or, if earlier, on the date of the
Executive’s death. The amount of any payment that would otherwise be paid to the Executive during this period shall instead
be paid to the Executive on the first day of the first calendar month following the end of the period.


(b)Payments with respect to reimbursements of expenses
or benefits or provision of fringe or other in-kind benefits shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the relevant expense or benefit is incurred. The amount of expenses or benefits eligible for reimbursement,
payment or provision during a calendar year shall not affect the expenses or benefits eligible for reimbursement, payment or provision
in any other calendar year.


21.        
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof. Any waiver or modification of any term of this Agreement shall be effective only if it is set forth
in writing and signed by all parties hereto. 


22.        
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Exhibit A


 


Form of Release of Claims


 


SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AND RELEASE


 


This Severance Agreement and Release (the “Agreement”)
is made between Robin D. Brown, an individual resident of South Carolina (“Employee”), and First Community
Bank (the “Bank”).


 


As used in this Agreement, the term “Employee”
shall include the employee’s heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns.


 


On _______________, 2015, the Bank and Employee
entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) governing the relationship between the parties. Section
4(e) provides that the Bank may terminate the Employment Agreement without cause. Section 4 of the Employment Agreement also provides
that Employee shall be entitled to severance pay if the Employment Agreement is terminated without cause, on the condition that
Employee enter into this release or a substantially similar release.


 


Employee desires to receive severance pay and
the Bank is willing to provide severance pay on the condition the Employee enter into this Agreement.


 


Now, in consideration for the mutual promises
and covenants set forth herein, and in full and complete settlement of all matters between Employee and the Bank, the parties agree
as follows:


 


1.           
Termination Date: The Employee agrees that
her employment with the Bank terminates as of ________________ (the “Termination Date”).


2.           
Severance Payments: Subsequent to her Termination
Date, the Bank shall pay Employee severance pay as noted in Paragraph 4(e) of the Employment Agreement (the “Severance Payment”),
less applicable deductions and withholdings. 


3.           
Legal Obligations


The parties acknowledge that pursuant
to Section 4(h) of the Employment Agreement, they agreed that at the time of termination and as a condition of payment of severance,
they would enter into this release acknowledging any remaining obligations and discharging each other from any other claims or
obligations arising out of or in connection with Employee’s employment by the Bank, including the circumstances of such termination.


Employee acknowledges that the Bank has
no prior legal obligations to make the payments described in Section 2 above which are exchanged for the promises of Employee set
forth in this Agreement. It is specifically agreed that the payments described in Section 2 are valuable and sufficient consideration
for each of the promises of Employee set forth in this Agreement and are payments in addition to anything of value to which Employee
is otherwise entitled.

4.           
Waiver and Release:


		(a)	Employee unconditionally releases and discharges the Bank, entities affiliated with the Bank,
and the respective current and former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents of them (collectively, the “Bank
Released Parties”) from any and all causes of action, suits, damages, claims, proceedings, and demands that the Employee
has ever had, or may now have, against any of the Bank Released Parties, whether asserted or unasserted, whether known or unknown,
concerning any matter occurring up to and including the date of the signing of this Agreement; provided that Employee is not releasing
or discharging (i) any right to enforce Section 4 of the Employment Agreement, or (ii) any exculpatory or indemnification (or advancement)
provisions set forth in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Bank.



		(b)	Employee acknowledges that she is waiving and releasing, to the full extent permitted by law,
all claims against the Bank Released Parties, including (but not limited to) all claims arising out of, or related in any way to,
her employment with the Bank or the termination of that employment, including (but not limited to) any and all breach of contract
claims, tort claims, claims of wrongful discharge, claims for breach of an express or implied employment contract, defamation claims,
claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, which prohibits discrimination in employment based on race,
color, national origin, religion or sex, the Family and Medical Leave Act, which provides for unpaid leave for family or medical
reasons, the Equal Pay Act, which prohibits paying men and women unequal pay for equal work, the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act of 1967, which prohibits age discrimination in employment, the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination
based on disability, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the South Carolina Human Affairs Law, any and all other applicable local,
state and federal non-discrimination statutes, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the South
Carolina Payment of Wages Law and all other statutes relating to employment, the common law of the State of South Carolina, or
any other state, and any and all claims for attorneys’ fees.



		(c)	This Waiver and Release provision ((a) through (c) of this paragraph) shall be construed to release
all claims to the full extent allowed by law. If any term of this paragraph shall be declared unenforceable by a court or other
tribunal of competent jurisdiction, it shall not adversely affect the enforceability of the remainder of this paragraph.



		(d)	The Bank unconditionally releases and discharges Employee from any and all causes of action,
suits, damages, claims, proceedings, and demands that the Bank has ever had, or may now have, against Employee, whether asserted
or unasserted, whether known or unknown, concerning any matter occurring up to and including the date of the signing of this Agreement
with the exception of any claims for breach of trust, or any act which constitutes a felony or crime involving dishonesty, theft,
or fraud.



5.           
Restrictive Covenants and Other Obligations


The parties agree that Section 5 – “Ownership
of Work Product,” Section 6 – “Protection of Trade Secret,” Section 7 – “Protection of Confidential
Information,” Section 8 – “Return of Materials,” Section 9 – “Restrictive Covenants,”
Section 10 – “Independent Provisions,” Section 15 – “Enforcement,” and Section 16 – “Savings
Clause,” of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and that Employee will perform her obligations
under those sections and those sections of the Employment Agreement are incorporated by reference as if set forth fully herein.
In the event Employee breaches any obligation under this Section 5, the Bank’s obligation to make severance payments to Employee
shall terminate immediately and the Bank shall have no further obligations to Employee.






    	 	A-2	 



     

    


6.           
Duty of Loyalty/Nondisparagement


The parties shall not (except as required
by law) communicate to anyone, whether by word or deed, whether directly or through any intermediary, and whether expressly or
by suggestion or innuendo, any statement, whether characterized as one of fact or of opinion, that is intended to cause or that
reasonably would be expected to cause any person to whom it is communicated to have a lowered opinion of the other party.


7.           
Confidentiality Of The Terms Of This Agreement


Employee agrees not to publicize or disclose
the contents of this Agreement, including the amount of the monetary payments, except (i) to her immediate family; (ii) to her
attorney(s), accountant(s), and/or tax preparer(s); (iii) as may be required by law; or (iv) as necessary to enforce the terms
of this Agreement. Employee further agrees that she will inform anyone to whom the terms of this Agreement are disclosed of the
confidentiality requirements contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that where business needs dictate,
Employee may disclose to a third party that she has entered into an agreement with the Bank, which agreement contains restrictive
covenants including noncompetition and nondisclosure provisions, one or more of which prohibit her from performing the requested
service.


Employee recognizes that the disclosure
of any information regarding this Agreement by her, her family, her attorneys, her accountants or financial advisors, could cause
the Bank irreparable injury and damage, the amount of which would be difficult to determine. In the event the Bank establishes
a violation of this paragraph of the Agreement by Employee, her attorneys, immediate family, accountants, or financial advisors,
or others to whom Employee disclosed information in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Bank shall be entitled to injunctive
relief without the need for posting a bond and shall also be entitled to recover from Employee the amount of attorneys’ fees
and costs incurred by the Bank in enforcing the provisions of this paragraph.


8.           
Continued Cooperation


Employee agrees that she will cooperate
fully with the Bank in the future regarding any matters in which she was involved during the course of her employment, and in the
defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought or threatened in the future against or
on behalf of the Bank. Employee’s cooperation in connection with such matters, actions and claims shall include, without
limitation, being available to meet with the Bank’s officials regarding personnel or commercial matters in which she was
involved; to prepare for any proceeding (including, without limitation, depositions, consultation, discovery or trial); to provide
affidavits; to assist with any audit, inspection, proceeding or other inquiry; and to act as a witness in connection with any litigation
or other legal proceeding affecting the Bank. Employee further agrees that should she be contacted (directly or indirectly) by
any person or entity adverse to the Bank, she shall within 48 hours notify the then-current Chairman of the Board of the Bank.
Employee shall be reimbursed for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing such cooperation.

this Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes all prior discussions, understandings, and agreements
of every nature between them relating to the matters addressed herein. Accordingly, no representation, promise, or inducement not
included or incorporated by reference in this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties. Employee affirms that the only consideration
for the signing of this Agreement are the terms set forth above and that no other promises or assurances of any kind have been
made to her by the Bank or any other entity or person as an inducement for him to sign this Agreement. This Agreement may not be

and assigns.

The parties agree that the provisions
of this Agreement and any paragraphs, subsections, sentences, or provisions thereof shall be deemed severable and that the invalidity
or unenforceability of any paragraph, subsection, sentence, or provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of the Agreement.


11.

or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall inure to and be
binding upon the Bank and Employee, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
