Further, because of economic      disparity between the Bank and Employee, the Bank agrees to pay for      Employee's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs up to $10,000 to enforce      the terms of this Agreement or recovered damages for breach of this      agreement as follows:  $5,000 at the commencement of litigation      or the mediation proceedings and an additional $5,000 six (6) months      thereafter.

If the      Employee is successful, any attorneys' fee award will be reduced by the      amount of attorney's fees and costs that have been      advanced.  Such reimbursement shall be in addition to all rights      to which the Employee is otherwise entitled under this      Agreement.  Amounts payable to Employee pursuant to this      paragraph shall be considered “additional benefits” for purposes of      Section 9(i) above. |

| 13. | Indebtedness.  If      during the term of this Agreement, Employee becomes indebted to the Bank      for any reason, the Bank may, at its election, set off and collect any      sums due Employee out of any amounts which the Bank may owe Employee from      his Base Salary or other compensation; provided, however, that the Bank      shall not reduce any post-termination amounts payable to Employee under      this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A of the Code (including any      severance pay described in Section 2(f) that is subject to Section 409A of      the Code) in offset of an Employee indebtedness to the Bank unless the      indebtedness arose in the ordinary course of the Employee’s service      relationship with the Bank, the amount of the reduction does not      exceed  $5,000, and the reduction is made at the same time an in      the same amount as the debt otherwise would have been due and collected      from the Employee.  Furthermore, upon the termination of this      Agreement, all sums owed by Employee shall become immediately due and      payable.  Employee shall pay all expenses and attorney's fees      actually or necessarily incurred by the Bank in connection with any      collection proceeding for Employee's indebtedness to      us.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any indebtedness to      us secured by a mortgage on Employee's residence shall not be subject to      the foregoing provisions, and shall be governed by the loan documents      evidencing such indebtedness. |

|--------|-----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (b) | Agreement      Not to Compete:  Employee acknowledges that by virtue of his      employment with the Bank, Employee will acquire an intimate knowledge of      the activities and affairs of the Bank, including trade secrets and other      confidential matters.  Employee, therefore, agrees that during      the term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months after      the termination of his employment for any reason, Employee shall not      become employed, directly or indirectly, whether as an employee,      independent contractor, consultant, or otherwise, in the financial      services industry with any business enterprise or business entity, or      person whose intent is to organize another financial institution in Duval      or Clay Counties, Florida; provided, however, that such prohibition shall      be for three (3) months if this Agreement is terminated due to a Change In      Control.

| 16. | Remedies for      Breach. |
|-----|---------------------------|

|   | (a) | 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 the Bank in the event of Employee's violation of      the provisions of Section 16 of this Agreement.  Thus, in the      event of a breach of any of the provisions of such Section, Employee      agrees that the Bank, 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 the Bank prevail in an action seeking an      injunction restraining Employee, Employee shall pay all costs and      reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank in and relating to      obtaining such injunction.  Such injunctive relief may be      obtained without bond and Employee's sole remedy, in the event of the      entry of such injunction, shall be the dissolution of such      injunction.  Employee hereby waives any and all claims for      damages by reason of the wrongful issuance of any such      injunction. |
|--------|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
