which Executive is suited by background and training, as Employer, in Employer’s sole discretion,
deems appropriate.



     1.4 Duties and Responsibilities. During the Agreement Term, the Executive shall
perform such duties and responsibilities as the management of Employer shall assign to the
Executive from time to time and which can reasonably be expected to be performed by a person
serving in a similar position. The Executive agrees to devote such of his full business time and
energy to the business of Employer as is needed and shall perform his duties in a trustworthy and
business-like manner, all for the purposes of advancing the interests of Employer. The Executive

SECTION 2: COMPENSATION; REIMBURSEMENT; AND BENEFITS




     2.1 Base Salary. During the Agreement Term, Employer shall pay to the Executive an

shall not be reduced at any time during the term of the Agreement Term. The Executive’s Base Salary
shall be subject to annual review in accordance with the existing
procedures of Employer.



     2.2 Payment of Base Salary. Employer shall pay the Base Salary due the Executive in
accordance with the policy of Employer as in effect from time to time for the payment of salaries.



     2.3 Other Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to participate on the same basis

incentive and benefit programs or arrangements, including cash bonus and stock programs, made
available by CapitalSouth and its affiliates and subsidiaries to such employees; provided that it
is understood that the foregoing does not include any automobile or club dues allowance. For

expenses incurred by him in accordance with the standard policies and procedures of Employer in the
course of rendering his services pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however,

     2.5 Vacation. The Executive shall be afforded vacation in accordance with and under
the same terms and conditions as are applicable to similarly situated personnel of Employer and its
affiliates. The Executive shall take into consideration the needs of Employer in setting his
vacation schedule.



SECTION 3: TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT




     3.1 Termination of Agreement Term. The Agreement Term may be terminated in the
following manner:



          (a) Termination on Death or Disability. The Agreement Term shall automatically
terminate upon the death or Disability of the Executive. The term “Disability” shall mean
the Executive’s physical or mental incapacity, as certified by a physician, that renders him
incapable of performing the essential functions of the duties required of him by this Agreement for
six (6) months, even with reasonable accommodation.




          (b) Termination upon Notice. The Agreement may be terminated by the Executive upon
thirty (30) days’ written notice to Employer. The Agreement may be terminated by Employer for any
other reason other than for “Cause” (as defined in Section 3.1(d) hereof), upon notice and
continued payment of salary to the Executive.




          (c) Resignation for Good Reason. The Executive may resign from employment with
Employer and terminate the Agreement Term for good reason, other than after the occurrence of
circumstances constituting Cause (as defined in Section 3.1(d) below), upon the occurrence of any
of the following conditions (“Good Reason”): (i) Employer reduces the Executive’s then
present Base Salary during the Agreement Term; (ii) Employer requires the Executive’s relocation to
an office outside Duval, Clay, Nassau or St. Johns counties, Florida; or (iii) the assignment to
the Executive of any duties inconsistent with Executive’s position as a senior regional executive
of the Employer. In any such case, the Executive’s resignation for Good Reason shall be effective
by delivering to Employer, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of one of the conditions
described above is known to the Executive, a written notice specifying a date for termination of
the Executive’s employment which is not less than thirty (30) days after the date of the notice,
provided, that the Executive cannot cure such “Good Reason,” to the satisfaction of the Executive,
during the thirty (30) day period, stating that the Executive is resigning for Good Reason as
contemplated by this Section 3.1(c), and setting forth





3









 







in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for the
Executive’s resignation for Good Reason hereunder.




          (d) Termination For Cause. The Agreement Term may be terminated by Employer for
“Cause” at any time during the Agreement Term upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice to the
Executive, which notice shall state the facts constituting such “Cause,” provided, that the
Executive cannot cure such “Cause,” to the satisfaction of CapitalSouth, during the fifteen (15)
day period. For the purpose of this Section 3.1(d), the term “Cause” shall mean (i) willful
misconduct or gross malfeasance, or an act or acts of gross negligence in the course of employment;
(ii) the Executive’s commission, conviction, admission or confession of any felony or crime of
moral turpitude; (iii) willful violation of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic
violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, (iv) if the Executive is removed
and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by 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 (v) the existence of a substantial and objective act of
misfeasance or nonfeasance by the Executive which is plainly sufficient, under sound banking
principles (as recognized by the Alabama State Banking Department, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, or any other appropriate bank regulatory authority to the extent said agencies would
no longer approve the Executive to hold a comparable executive position), to conclude that the
Executive is unfit to continue in the capacities stated in this Agreement. Employer shall have the
power to temporarily suspend Executive, with pay, from duty if there is reasonable evidence of the
possibility of Cause until Cause is either proved or disproved; if disproved, full reinstatement
will immediately be effected.




     3.2 Consequences of Termination.



          (a) For Cause; Death or Disability; Without Good Reason. In the event Executive’s
employment is terminated (i) by Employer for Cause under Section 3.1(d) hereof, (ii) as a result of
the Executive’s death or Disability under Section 3.1(a) hereof, or (iii) by the Executive under
Section 3.1(b) hereof, Employer shall be under no further obligation to make payments or provide
benefits to the Executive, except for Base Salary earned but unpaid at the time of such
termination, payment for accrued vacation, reimbursable expenses incurred by but not yet reimbursed
to the Executive at the time of such termination, any earned but unpaid incentive awards due to the
Executive, vested accrued retirement benefits, group health and any other benefits coverage that is
required to be continued by applicable law.




          (b) Other than for Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. In the event the Executive’s
employment is terminated by Employer other than for Cause under Section 3.1(d) hereof or the
Executive resigns for Good Reason under Section 3.1(c) hereof, Employer shall pay to the Executive
an amount equal to the product of $114,800 (or Executive’s then present salary, if it is different)
multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is 365 and the numerator of which is the number
of days remaining in the Original Agreement Term, and shall be paid semi-monthly during the
remainder of what would have been the Original Agreement Term, beginning on the next normal
semi-monthly payroll of Employer following separation from service.




          (c) Obligation of Employer to Make the Payments Under Section 3.2(b) Hereof.
Compliance by the Executive with Section 4 hereof is a condition precedent to





4









 







Employer’s obligation to make, or to continue to make, the payments referred to in Section
3.2(b) hereof.




          (d) Employee Benefits. Following termination or expiration of this Agreement, whether
terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or due to the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive, and Employer shall not be required to
provide, any employee benefits other than (i) payments made pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof, if
applicable, (ii) group health and any other benefits coverage that is required to be continued by
applicable law; (iii) vested accrued retirement benefits; and (iv) any other employee benefits
described in Section 3.2(a) hereof.




SECTION 4: NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY




     4.1 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.



          (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “Non-Competition Period” shall mean the period
commencing on the Closing Date and continuing for eighteen (18) months after Closing Date, except
as such period may be extended by Section 4.1(c) hereof. In the event the Executive’s employment
is terminated pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof (other than termination by Death), the Executive, for
the Non-Competition Period, will not, without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors
of CapitalSouth, directly or indirectly (i) whether through his own account or as a partner,
member, manager, employee, advisor, consultant, owner, trustee, shareholder, officer, director or
agent of or to any person, corporation, proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, trust or other entity or association (any of the foregoing being referred to as a
“Person”), within Duval County, Florida or any county contiguous thereto (the
“Non-Competition Territory”), perform services, own, advise, participate in, support, have
an interest in, give financial assistance to, permit Executive’s name to be used in connection with
or serve as a member of management, supervisor, consultant or employee of any financial service
institution, including without limitation any “insured depository institution” (as such term is
defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1813(c)(2)) or any “regulated lending institution” (as such term is defined
in 42 U.S.C. § 4003(a)(10)) or any other business, or any affiliate, parent, or subsidiary thereof,
which would be competitive with the business of CapitalSouth or any affiliate or subsidiary
thereof; (ii) solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any employee of CapitalSouth or
any affiliate or subsidiary thereof to terminate such employment or to become employees of any
other person or entity; (iii) solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any Person who
during the term of this Agreement was or is a customer, supplier, contractual party of CapitalSouth
or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof or any other Person with whom any of them has or had
business relations to refrain from or cease doing business with, seek advice and/or services and
products from, or otherwise discontinue all or any portion of their relationship with CapitalSouth
or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof; or (iv) disparage or cast in a poor light CapitalSouth or
any affiliate or subsidiary thereof or any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers,
or employees. The preceding provisions of this Section 4.1(a)(i) shall not preclude the Executive
from holding any publicly-traded stock, provided that the Executive does not at any time hold any
stock interest in any one company in excess of one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting stock of
that company.




5









 








          (b) The Executive agrees that each of the covenants set forth above in Section 4.1(a) hereof
are reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area and scope.




          (c) In the event of a breach by the Executive of any covenant set forth in Section 4.1(a)
hereof, the Non-Competition Period shall be extended by the period of the duration of such breach.




          (d) If Employer terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or if Executive resigns
for Good Reason, as additional consideration for the covenants contained in Section 4.1(a) hereof,
Executive shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.2(b) hereof.




     4.2 Confidentiality.



          (a) The Executive hereby acknowledges that during his employment by Employer he will have
contacts with and develop and serve the customers of Employer and that in all of his activities,
and through the nature of complying with his obligations pursuant to this Agreement, he will have
access to and will acquire confidential information relating to the business, assets, operations,
customers, suppliers, contractual parties and other persons with whom Employer, CapitalSouth and
their respective affiliates and subsidiaries do business. The Executive hereby acknowledges and
confirms that such information constitutes the exclusive property of Employer, CapitalSouth or
their respective affiliates and subsidiaries, as the case may be, and that such information is
proprietary in nature. Such information does not include information already in the public realm
or information received by Executive from third parties.




          (b) The Executive agrees in perpetuity that he shall not disclose to others (except as
permitted and as directed by Employer or only as to the extent required pursuant to a subpoena or
order of a court of competent jurisdiction) any such information referred to in Section 4.2(a)
hereof.




     4.3 Remedies.



          (a) If the Executive breaches, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of
Section 4 hereof, Employer shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and
remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Employer at law or in
equity (including the right to recover damages):




               (i) the right and remedy to have Section 4 hereof specifically enforced by any court of
competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of Section 4 would
cause irreparable harm to Employer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to
Employer;



               (ii) the right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over to Employer all
compensation, profits or other benefits derived or received by the Executive as the result of any
actions constituting a breach of Section 4 hereof; and

the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, all court arbitration fees, costs,

     4.4 Blue Penciling. If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction shall find
that the provisions of Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof are unreasonable in duration or in geographic
scope, the prohibitions contained herein shall be restricted to such time and/or geographic areas
as such court determines to be reasonable.
