| | (i) | any transaction, whether by merger, consolidation, asset sale, recapitalization, reorganization, combination, stock purchase, tender offer, reverse stock split, or otherwise, which
results in the acquisition of, or beneficial ownership (as such term is defined under rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by any person or entity or any group of persons or entities acting in
concert of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation or the Bank; or

| | (iv) | the takeover or control of all or substantially all of the operations of the Corporation or the Bank, through any of the means specified above.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

If Employee has actual knowledge of an anticipated Change-in-Control at least
30 days prior to the event which causes a Change-in-Control, Employee shall be entitled at any time up to 30 days prior to the event which will effect such Change-in-Control (the Change-in-Control Date), to give a notice of termination
(as defined in Section 8) as of the Change-in-Control Date, and Employee shall be paid, in addition to all accrued but unpaid compensation, a lump sum cash payment (the Change-in-Control Payment). The Change-in-Control Payment shall be
equal to two-and-nine-tenths (2.9) years Employees then Base Salary (as defined in Schedule B) to be paid without setoff of any kind and in cash, not later than ten days after the Change-in-Control Date. Additionally, prior to the
Change-in-Control Date, Employer shall notify representatives of the acquiring or successor entity, as the case may be, of Employees rights and Employers obligations under this Agreement, and without affecting Employers obligations
to pay Employee hereunder, any such acquiring or successor entity shall become obligated to forthwith pay to Employee for such part of the Change-in-Control Payment as has not been paid by Employer as of the Change-in-Control Date.



In the event a Change-in-Control occurs without Employee
having the actual prior knowledge described above, Employee shall have the right to give a notice of termination (as defined in Section 8) to Employer no later than ten (10) business days following a Change-in-Control during the term of this
Agreement. In such instance, Employer, its successor or acquirer shall pay the Change-in-Control payment to Employee within ten (10) business days of receipt of Employees notice of termination.



(e) Termination for Good Reason: Employee may
terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason by delivering a notice of termination (as defined in Section 8). For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall mean: (i) a failure by Employer to comply with any material provision
of this Agreement, which failure has not been cured within 15 business days after a notice of such noncompliance has been given by Employee to Employer; or (ii) subsequent to a Change-in-Control. In the event Employee terminates his employment for
Good Reason, he shall be entitled to severance benefits as set forth in Sections 6(g) and (h).



(f) Termination by Employee: Employee may terminate his employment hereunder and this Agreement for any reason, by providing
a notice of termination (as defined in Section 8). In such event, Employee shall have no right to compensation or other benefits after the date of termination, except for accrued but unpaid compensation.



(g) Severance Payment: If Employee is entitled
to severance benefits under Sections 6(c) or (e), Employee shall be paid, as severance, the total Base Salary (as defined in Schedule B) due for the longer of the remaining term of this Agreement or six months (which is the maximum duration
of the agreement not to compete imposed on Employee by Section 12[b]). Any such payment shall be made in substantially equal semi-monthly installments on the 15th and last days of each month until paid in full and shall only be paid subject to
Employees execution of a full release in favor of Employer for any potential claims related to this Agreement or to Employees employment with Employer.



---

(h) Additional Severance Benefits: If Employee is entitled to severance
benefits under Sections 6(c) or (e), Employer shall maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of Employee any Employee benefit plans and programs in which Employee was entitled to participate immediately prior to the date of
termination for the shorter of:



| | (i) | one year after the date of termination; or
| | --- | ------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | the period of time ending on the date Employee becomes eligible for participation in a comparable plan provided by another employer; provided, however, that Employees
continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs.
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



7. Regulatory Provisions. Employer and Employee acknowledge that the laws and regulations governing the Parties require that the employment
of Employee be governed by certain standards contained in those laws and regulations. To that end, the Parties agree to be bound by the following provisions:



(a) Suspension/Temporary Prohibition: If Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the
conduct and affairs of the Bank by a notice served under Sections 8(e) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. §1818[e][3] and [g][1]) Employers obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of such
service unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges and the notice are dismissed, Employer may in its discretion:



| | (i) | pay Employee all or part of his compensation withheld while the obligations under this Agreement are suspended; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | reinstate (in whole or part) any of Employers obligations which were suspended.
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



(b) Permanent Prohibition: If Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct and affairs of the Bank by an order issued under Sections 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. §1818[e][4] or [g][1]), all of Employers obligations under this Agreement shall
terminate as of the effective date of the order, but Employees vested rights, if any shall not be affected.



(c) Default Under FDIA: If the Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3[x][1] of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act) all
obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this subsection of this Agreement shall not affect Employees vested rights if any.



(d)Regulatory Termination: All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except
to the extent that a determination has been made that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for continued operation of the Bank:



| | (i) | by the Director or his or her designee, at the time the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) or Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) enters into an
agreement to provide assistant to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority to contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; or
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | (ii) | by the OTS, FDIC or the Director, or his or her designee, at the time the OTS, FDIC or the Director, or his or her designee, approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems
related to operation of the Bank or when the Banks determined by the OTS, FDIC or the Director to be in unsafe or unsound condition.
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Any of Employees rights that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action. For purposes of this subsection of this
Agreement, the term Director shall mean the Director of the OTS or the FDIC.



8. Notice of Termination.



(a) Specificity: Any termination of Employees employment by Employer or by Employee shall be communicated by written notice of termination to the other Party. For purposes of this Agreement, a
notice of termination shall mean a dated notice which shall: (i) indicate the specific relevant termination provision in the Agreement; (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of Employees employment under the provision; and (iii) set forth the date of termination, which shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 45 days after such notice of termination is given, unless another Section of the Agreement
requires or permits a different effective date.



(b) Delivery of Notices: All notices or resignations given or required to be given herein shall be in writing, sent by United States first-class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, by way of overnight carrier, or by
hand delivery. If to Employee (or to Employees spouse or estate upon Employees death) notice shall be sent to Employees last-known address, and if to Employer, notice shall be sent to Employers corporate headquarters. All
such notices shall be effective five days after having been deposited in the mail if sent via first-class certified or registered mail, or upon delivery if by hand delivery or if sent via overnight carrier. Either Party, by notice in writing, may
change or designate the place for receipt of all such notices.



9. Post-Termination Obligations. Employer shall pay to Employee such payments and benefits as are required pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, any such payments shall be subject to Employees post-termination
cooperation. Such cooperation shall include the following:



(a) Employee shall furnish such information and assistance as may be reasonably required by Employer in connection with any litigation or settlement of any dispute between Employer and a customer or other third
parties (including without limitation serving as a witness in court or other proceedings);



---

(b) Employee shall provide such information or assistance to Employer in connection with
any regulatory examination by any state or federal regulatory agency;



(c) Employee shall keep Employers trade secrets and other proprietary or confidential information secret to the fullest extent practicable, subject to compliance with all applicable laws;



(d) Employee shall return all Employers property,
including, but not limited to, keys, credit cards, manuals and other written materials.



(e) Employee shall execute a full release of all potential claims related to this Agreement or to Employees employment with Employer
in favor of Employer.



Upon submission of proper receipts,
Employer shall promptly reimburse Employee for any reasonable expenses incurred by Employee in complying with the provisions of this Section.



10. Indebtedness. If during the term of this Agreement, Employee becomes indebted to Employer or to one of Employers subsidiaries, for
any reason, Employer may, at its election, set off and collect any sums due Employee out of any amounts which Employer may owe Employee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, upon the termination of this Agreement, all sums owed to
Employer by Employee shall become immediately due and payable. Employee shall pay all expenses and Attorneys Fees actually or necessarily incurred by Employer in connection with any collection proceeding for Employees indebtedness.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any indebtedness to Employer or to one of Employers subsidiaries, secured by a mortgage on Employees residence shall not be subject to the foregoing provisions, but shall be governed by the loan
documents evidencing such indebtedness.



11. Maintenance
of Confidential Information. Employee shall use his best efforts and utmost diligence to guard and protect all of Employers (or any of Employers subsidiaries) confidential information. Employee shall not, either during the term,
or after termination, of this Agreement, for whatever reason, use in any capacity, or divulge or disclose in any manner, to any Person, the identity of Employers (or any of Employers subsidiaries) customers, methods of operation,
processes, systems and programs, or other confidential information relating to Employers (or any of Employers subsidiaries) business. Upon termination of this Agreement or Employees employment, for any reason, Employee shall
immediately return and deliver to Employer or any of Employers subsidiaries, all records and papers and all materials which bear confidential information.



---

12. Competitive Activities.



(a) Limitation on Outside Activities: Employee agrees that during the term of this Agreement,
except with the express consent of the Board, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, engage in, participate in, become a director of, render advisory or other services to, become employed by, or make any financial investment in any firm,
corporation, business entity or business enterprise competitive with or to any business of Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be precluded or prohibited from owning passive investments (defined herein to mean up to 9.9% of
the beneficial ownership of the firm, corporation, business entity or business enterprise), including investments in the securities of other financial institutions. Employee, however, shall be prohibited from making any investments or commitments of
time, accepting any positions or participating in any activities which cause Employee to devote time to such investments, commitments, positions or activities which would interfere with Employees position with and obligations to Employer.



(b) Agreement Not to Compete:
Employee acknowledges that by virtue of his employment with Employer, Employee will acquire an intimate knowledge of the activities and affairs of Employer, including trade secrets and other confidential matters. Employee, therefore, agrees that
during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of six months following the termination of Employees employment hereunder, Employee shall not become employed, directly or indirectly, whether as an employee, independent contractor,
consultant, or otherwise, with any federally-insured financial institution, financial holding company, bank holding company, or other financial services provider located in Charlotte, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas and Sarasota Counties,
Florida or in any County where Employer operates a full-service branch (Covered Area) with any Person whose intent it is to organize another such company or entity located in the Covered Area. Employee acknowledges that this is the same
duration of the minimum period that Employee would receive severance benefits under Section 6, if he is entitled to such benefits.



Employee further agrees that for a period of 12 months following the termination of Employees employment hereunder for any reason,
Employee shall not directly or indirectly: (i) solicit the business of any then current customer (borrower or depositor) of Employer or any of Employers subsidiaries, regardless of whether or not Employee was responsible for
generating such customers business for Employer or any of Employers subsidiaries; or (ii) solicit any employees of Employer or any Employers subsidiaries.



Employee hereby agrees that the duration of the anti-competitive covenant set forth herein is reasonable,
and that its geographic scope is not unduly restrictive.



---

13. Remedies for Breach.



(a) Arbitration: The Parties agree that, except for the specific remedies for Injunctive
Relief as contained in Section 13(b), herein, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach thereof, including, without limitation, any claim that this Agreement or any portion thereof is invalid, illegal or
otherwise voidable, shall be submitted to binding arbitration before and in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the determination and/or award of such arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof; provided, however, that this clause shall not be construed to permit the award of punitive damages to either Party. The prevailing party to said arbitration shall be entitled to an award of reasonable Attorneys Fees. The
venue for arbitration shall be in Pinellas County, Florida.



(b) Injunctive Relief:The Parties acknowledge and agree that the services to be performed by Employee are special and unique and that money damages cannot fully compensate Employer in the event of
Employees violation of the provisions of Sections 11 and 12 of this Agreement. Thus, in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of such Section, Employee agrees that Employer, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall
be entitled to an injunction restraining Employee from any further breach of the terms and provision of such Section. Should Employer prevail in an action seeking such an injunction, Employee shall pay all costs and reasonable Attorneys Fees
incurred by Employer in and relating to obtaining such injunction. Employees sole remedy, in the event of the wrongful entry of such injunction, shall be the dissolution of such injunction and recovery of Attorneys Fees. Employee hereby
waives any and all claims for damages by reason of the wrongful issuance of any such injunction.



(c) Cumulative Remedies: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the injunctive relief described in Section
13(b) herein and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement which are available to Employer as a result of Employees breach of this Agreement, are in addition to and shall not limit any and all remedies existing at law or in equity
which may also be available to Employer.



14.
Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Employee, and to the extent applicable, his heirs, assigns, executors, and personal representatives, and to Employer, and to the extent applicable, its
successors, and assigns, including, without limitation, any Person which may acquire all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Corporation or the Bank, or with or into which the Corporation or the Bank may be consolidated or merged,
and this provision shall apply in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation, or transfer.



15. Attorneys Fees. In the event that any claim or controversy hereunder is the subject of any litigation or arbitration between the
Parties, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to an award of all reasonable costs, including Attorneys Fees.



---

modified or amended except in writing signed by the Parties.

(f) Entire Agreement: This Agreement and all
other documents incorporated or referred to herein, contain the entire agreement of the Parties and there are no representations, inducements or other provisions other than those expressed in writing herein. No modification, waiver or discharge of
any provision or any breach of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by both Parties. A Partys waiver of the other Partys breach of any provision of this Agreement, shall not operate, or be construed, as a
waiver of any subsequent breach of that provision or of any other provision of this Agreement.



---

(g) Waiver: No course of conduct by Employer or Employee and no delay or
omission of Employer or Employee to exercise any right or power given under this Agreement shall: (i) impair the subsequent exercise of any right or power, or (ii) be construed to be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence in, or consent to, the
curing of any default while any other default shall continue to exist, or be construed to be a waiver of such continuing default or of any other right or power that shall theretofore have arisen. Any power and/or remedy granted by law and by this
Agreement to any Party hereto may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient. All such rights and powers shall be cumulative to the fullest extent permitted by law.
