C. RESPONSIBILITIES


 


6.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that he shall be employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and will report to the Board. The
Executive covenants and agrees that he will faithfully devote his best efforts and his primary focus to his positions with the
Company.


 


7.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that the duties and responsibilities of the Executive required by his positions are wholly within the discretion of
the Board, and may be modified, or new duties and responsibilities imposed by the Board at any time, without the approval or consent
of the Executive. However, these new duties and responsibilities may not constitute immoral or unlawful acts. In addition, the
new duties and responsibilities must be generally consistent with the Executive's role as President and Chief Executive of a financial
institution.


 


8.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, he has a fiduciary duty to the Company and its subsidiaries will not engage
in any activity during the term of this Agreement, which will or could, in any significant way, harm the business, business interests,
or reputation of the Company, its subsidiaries, its employees, or the Board.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


9.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that he will not directly or indirectly engage in competition with the Company at any time during the existence of the
employment relationship between the Company and the Executive, and the Executive will not on his own behalf, or as another's agent
or employee, engage in any of the same or similar duties and/or Company-related responsibilities required by the Executive's position
with the Company, other than as an employee of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or as specifically approved by the Board
of the Company.


 


D. NONINTERFERENCE


 


10.  In his position of employment,
the Executive has been and will continue to be provided with certain of the Company’s confidential information and trade
secrets (hereafter "Proprietary Information") pertaining to, or arising from, the business of the Company, and its affiliates
(if any), upon execution of this Agreement and for the duration of Executive’s employment with the Company. The Executive
hereby agrees and acknowledges that such Proprietary Information is unique and valuable to the Company's business and that the
Company would suffer irreparable injury if this information were publicly disclosed, or used for purposes other than on behalf
of the Company. Therefore, the Executive agrees to keep in strict secrecy and confidence, both during and after the period of his
employment, any and all Proprietary Information that the Executive acquires, or to which the Executive has access, during employment
by the Company, that has not been publicly disclosed by the Company. The Proprietary Information covered by this Agreement shall
include, but shall not be limited to, information relating to any financial information, processes policies, procedures, pricing,
plans, devices, compilations of information, technical data, mailing lists, methods of distributing, names of suppliers, and customers,
arrangements entered into with suppliers, vendors, and customers, marketing strategies, and other trade secrets of the Company.


 


11.In consideration for the Company’s
agreement to provide the Executive with access to and use of certain of its Proprietary Information, the Executive concurrently
covenants and agrees that, for a period of one year subsequent to the termination of this Agreement, whether such termination occurs
at the insistence of the Company or the Executive, the Executive shall not recruit, hire, or attempt to recruit or hire, directly
or by assisting others, any other employees of the Company, nor shall the Executive contact or communicate with any other employees
of the Company for the purpose of inducing other employees to terminate their employment with the Company. For purposes of this
covenant, "other employees" shall refer to employees who are still actively employed by or were employed by the Company
within the prior year, or doing business with the Company at the time of the attempted recruiting or hiring.


 


12.  The Executive expressly
represents that he has no agreements with, or obligations to, any party which conflict, or may conflict, with the interests of
the Company or with the Executive's duties as an employee of the Company.


 


13.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that in exchange for the execution of the noninterference agreement set forth in this Section D, the Executive will
receive substantial, valuable consideration including confidential trade secret and Proprietary Information relating to the identity
and special needs of the Company's current and prospective customers, the Company's current and prospective services, the Company's
business projections and market studies, the Company's business plans and strategies, the Company's studies and information concerning
special services unique to the Company and that in the absence of the Executive’s agreements herein, he would not have had
access to such unique and valuable consideration. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that his agreements in this Section
D are a material inducement to the Company’s agreement to enter into and continue this relationship. The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that these items collectively constitute fair and adequate consideration for the execution of the noninterference agreement
set forth above.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


14.  In consideration for the
above-recited valuable consideration, and as a material inducement for the Company’s agreements herein, including the Company’s
promise to furnish Executive with access to its Proprietary Information, the Executive understands and agrees that during the continuation
of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment for whatever reason (both
of which periods shall collectively be referred to as the ("Restricted Period")), the Executive will not directly or
indirectly, alone or for his/her own account, or as owner, partner, investor, member, trustee, officer, director, shareholder,
employee, consultant, distributor, advisor, representative or agent of any partnership, joint venture, corporation, trust, or other
business organization or entity, contact, solicit, or seek to divert the business or patronage of any person, association, corporation
or other business organization or entity with whom Executive is familiar because of his employment with the Company and/or about
whom Executive has learned Proprietary Information during his/her employment at the Company (“Customers”). For purposes
of this Section D, the parties agree that the prohibitions outlined herein are limited to the metropolitan statistical areas, as
defined by the US Office of Management & Budget, where such Customers are located, and that it is agreed that doing business
with such Customers from remote locations, telephonically, electronically or otherwise is deemed to violate the geographic restrictions
hereof. It is the desire of the Company and the Executive that these restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by
law.


 


15.  It is hereby further agreed
by the Company and the Executive that if the non-solicitation covenants contained in this NONINTERFERENCE section should be held
by any court or other constituted legal authority to be void or otherwise unenforceable in any particular area or jurisdiction
despite those modifications outlined above, then the parties shall consider this Agreement to be amended and modified in that particular
area or jurisdiction so as to eliminate therefrom any part of or the entire covenant that the particular area or jurisdiction finds
void or otherwise unenforceable, but as to all other areas and jurisdictions covered by this Agreement, the non-solicitation covenants
contained herein shall remain in full force and effect as originally written.


 


16.  If Executive is found to
have violated any of the provisions of this Section D, Executive agrees that the restrictive period of each covenant so violated
shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of violation by him. Nothing in this Paragraph 16 shall reduce or abrogate
the Executive's obligations under any other section of this Agreement.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


E. REMEDIES


 


17.  In the event that the Executive
violates any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement relating to NONINTERFERENCE, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that
the Company may suffer immediate and irreparable harm. Consequently, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall
be entitled to immediate injunctive relief, either by temporary or permanent injunction, to prevent such a violation, without regard
to the application of Section D of this Agreement and that if Executive is receiving payments pursuant to either sections G or
H of this Agreement, the Company may terminate such payments without limiting its right to specific performance, injunctive relief,
or any other category of relief or damages.


 


F. TERMINATION


 


18.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that the Board of the Company reserves the right to terminate this Executive Agreement, for any reason, by providing
the Executive with thirty (30) days' written notice of the termination, delivered in person, or by certified U.S. mail to the Executive's
last known address reflected in the Company's personnel records. Such notice shall be effective upon personal delivery or three
days after mailing by certified U.S. mail. However, if the Agreement is terminated at the Company's insistence without Good Cause,
as defined in this Agreement, the Company covenants and agrees to provide the Executive with the severance set forth in
Section H of this Agreement.


  


19.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time, without notice, for any "Good Cause" defined as
the following:


 


		a.	In the event the Executive violates any material provision of this Agreement or is grossly negligent in the performance of
his duties hereunder in the reasonable judgment of a majority of the full Board, and fails to cure such violation or the effects
of such gross negligence within a reasonable period after written notice to the Executive by the Company specifying in reasonable
detail the alleged violation;



		b.	The determination by a majority of the full Board, that (i) the Executive has failed to follow the
policies adopted by the Board and fails to cure such breach or violation within a reasonable period after written notice to Executive
by the Company specifying in reasonable detail the alleged breach or violation or (ii) that Executive has engaged in such actions
or omissions that would constitute unsafe or unsound banking practices;



		c.	In the event the Executive is convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;



		d.	In the event the Executive engages in gross misconduct in the course and scope of his employment
with the Company including indecency, immorality, gross insubordination, dishonesty, unlawful harassment, use of illegal drugs,
or fighting;



		e.	In the event a majority of the full Board of the Company determines, in good faith, that the Executive’s
job performance is unsatisfactory and has given the Executive written notice of such determination which specifically enumerates
the reason(s) for such determination and a reasonable opportunity, which shall not be less than 180 days, to correct such unsatisfactory
performance; or



		f.	In the event the Executive is prohibited from engaging in the business of banking by any governmental regulatory agency having
jurisdiction over the Company or is in any way suspended or prohibited from participation in any government enhanced lending program
by the applicable government agency.



 




    	 



    	 



    

 


If during his employment, Executive is
terminated for Good Cause or resigns his employment for any reason other than for Good Reason (as defined below); Employee will
be entitled only to receive base salary through the date of such termination, pay in lieu of any unused vacation in accordance
with the Company’s normal practice, and any benefits to which Executive is entitled under the terms of the Company’s
employee benefit plans and programs (“Standard Termination Payments”).


 


20.  The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Executive reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, with or without cause,
by providing thirty (30) days written notice, by personal delivery or certified U.S. mail, to the Company at its principal business
address of the Executive's intention to terminate this Agreement. Such notice shall be effective upon personal delivery or three
days after mailing by certified U.S. mail. In the event of such termination, Executive will be entitled to receive the Standard
Termination Payments.


 


21.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that in the event of the Executive's death, this Agreement will terminate immediately, without notice, on the date of
the Executive's death. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of his death, the Company will pay to the Executive's
estate the Standard Termination Payments.


 


22.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that this Agreement will terminate immediately, without notice, in the event the Executive becomes physically or mentally
disabled, as defined by 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(g)(1), and cannot perform the essential functions of his position, with or
without reasonable accommodation for the period designated by the Executive's disability insurance after which disability payments
will begin. In the event of such termination, Executive will be entitled to receive the Standard Termination Payments.


 


23.  The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that in the event of termination of this Agreement, for whatever reason, whether at the insistence of the Executive
or at the insistence of the Company, the Executive will return to the Company within seventy-two (72) hours of the time when notice
of termination is communicated by either party, or sooner if requested by the Company, any Proprietary Information in his possession,
custody or control, and all equipment, literature, documents, data, information, order forms, memoranda, correspondence, customer
and prospective customer lists, customer's orders, records, cards or notes acquired, compiled or coming into the Executive's knowledge,

G. CHANGE IN CONTROL


 


24.  The parties acknowledge
that the Executive has agreed to assume the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and to enter into
this Agreement based on his confidence in the current owners of the Company and the direction of the Company provided by the current
Board. If the Company should undergo a "Change of Control," as defined below, then the Executive may be entitled to certain
compensation and benefits under the following circumstances.  If, during the term: (i) Executive voluntarily terminates his
employment with the Company (or its successor) after a minimum of six (6) months following a Change in Control (as defined below),
or (ii) Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company (or its successor) without Good Cause, or Employee terminates
his employment for Good Reason (as defined below), in either case within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control,
Employee shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits described in this Section G. Executive shall notify the Company
of such election by personal delivery or certified U.S. mail that he intends to terminate this Agreement based upon the Change
of Control. Notice of termination shall be effective upon delivery or three (3) days after mailing by certified U.S. mail.


 


25.  In the event of a Change
in Control, the Company agrees and acknowledges that the Executive (or his Beneficiaries, if applicable) shall have the right to
receive a cash lump sum payment equal to 299% of his Base Amount as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (“Code”), paid by the Company within thirty (30) days upon a Change in Control or under such other
terms as may be mutually agreed. In the event that the Executive is entitled to any payment under Section H, payment under this
Section G shall be offset by such amount. As a condition of his right to receive the payment described in this Section G, Executive
acknowledges and agrees that he will execute, and will not revoke, and deliver a general release and waiver of claims in a form
provided by the Company at the time of termination.


 


Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to pay any benefit under this Agreement if, upon the advice of counsel, the
Company determines that the payment of such benefit, when aggregated with payments the Executive receives under other agreements,
would be prohibited by 12 C.F.R. Part 359 or any other regulations regarding employee compensation promulgated by any regulatory
agency having jurisdiction over the Company or its affiliates, or to the extent any benefit would be a non-deductible excess parachute
payment under Section 280G of the Code, or create an excise tax under the excess parachute rules of Sections 280G and 4999 of the
Code. To the extent possible, the Company shall reduce the benefit paid under this Agreement to the maximum benefit that would
be deductible and would not result in any such excise tax.


 


26.  As used in this Agreement,
a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred in any of the following instances:


 


		a.	TBI or the Bank is merged or consolidated with another entity and as a result of such merger or consolidation less than fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities (on a fully diluted basis) of the surviving or resulting entity are owned in
the aggregate by the former shareholders of TBI;



		b.	TBI or the Bank sells all or substantially all of its assets to another entity;



 




    	 



    	 



    

 


		c.	(i) any person or group (a “Person”) within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Securities Exchange Act”), including without limitation existing shareholders of the Company, acquires or otherwise
becomes the owner of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of TBI or the Bank and (ii) if such Person
causes, encourages or otherwise provides for an employee, officer, representative or agent of such Person to be elected to the
Board; or



		d.	During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who, at the beginning of such period constituted the members of the
Board of the Company, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of such Board, unless the election, or the nomination
for election by the Company’s shareholders, of each new Director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors
still in office who were Directors at the beginning of the period; provided, however, that no individual shall be considered a
member of the Board of the Company at the beginning of such period if such individual initially assumed office as the result of
either an actual or threatened election contest or proxy contest.



 


 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if a Person becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities
representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities solely
as a result of an acquisition by the Company of its own voting securities which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding,
increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person.


 


Furthermore, notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment is terminated and he reasonably demonstrates that such termination
was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention of taking steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in
Control, or such termination otherwise occurred in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control, then for all purposes
hereof, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred on the day immediately prior to the date of such termination of his
employment.


 


27.  For purposes of this Agreement,
“Good Reason” shall mean any one or more of the following occurrences: (i) Executive’s base salary as defined
in 3.a. of this Agreement or as it may be increased subsequent to the Effective Date, is reduced other than with the consent of
the Executive; (ii) Executive’s status or responsibilities with the Company are materially reduced, or Executive is assigned
duties which are inconsistent with such status or responsibilities, or Executive’s business location is materially changed;
(iii) the Company (or its successor) fails to continue in effect any pension, health care or benefit plan , Incentive Plan, or
other arrangement in which Executive was participating, or the Company (or their successors) takes some action which materially
reduces Executive’s benefits under any such plan or program, without (in either such case) providing Executive with substantially
similar benefits, unless such change applies to all similarly situated executives of the Company; or (iv) any successor to the
Company in connection with a Change in Control does not expressly assume this Agreement; or (v) the Incentive Plan in which the
Executive participates is materially changed without the Executive’s concurrence.

acknowledge and agree that, if the Company terminates Executive’s employment at any time for any reason other than Good Cause,
as defined in this Agreement, or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, as defined above, the Executive shall be
entitled to severance pay to be paid in accordance with the normal payroll procedure of the Company. Such severance pay shall be
equal to the Base Amount as defined in the Code and shall continue for twelve (12) months from the date of termination. In addition,
Executive shall be entitled to receive employee and dependent health insurance, dental insurance, and any additional benefits provided
to all Company employees, at a cost comparable to that paid by other employees, all in accordance with the Company's employment
policies and plans for a period of one year following the date of termination. In the event that the Executive is entitled to any
payment under Section G, no payment shall be due under this Section H. As a condition of his right to receive the payment described

waiver of claims in a form provided by the Company at the time of termination.

enforceable.


 


J. WAIVER


 


30.  The parties acknowledge
and agree that the failure of either to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that particular
provision, or of any other provisions of this Agreement.
