     This
Agreement, effective as of October 1, 2007 (the
“Effective Date”), is made by and between
THE PEOPLES BANK, BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI, a state-chartered commercial bank with its principal office
located in Biloxi, Mississippi (hereinafter referred to as the

(hereinafter referred to as the “Executive”). This Agreement hereby amends and restates, in their

Agreements”), made by and between the Company and
the Executive.



INTRODUCTION




     The Company and the Executive entered into the Prior Agreements in order to provide certain
benefits to the Executive as an officer of the Company upon the Executive’s retirement.



     The Company and the Executive, by this current Agreement, desire to amend and desire to
restate the Prior Agreements in their entirety to include and reflect the terms set forth herein
and to incorporate the benefit accumulated to date by the Executive under the Prior Agreements, to
reflect the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and to clarify certain provisions of the Prior Agreements.



     Therefore, in order to encourage the Executive to remain an employee of the Company, the
Company is willing to provide salary continuation benefits to the Executive. The Company will pay
the benefits from its general assets.

     The Executive and the Company agree as follows:

Article 2

Lifetime Benefits



     2.1 Normal Retirement Benefit. If Separation From Service occurs on or after the Normal
Retirement Date and prior to a Change of Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive the
benefit described in this Section 2.1.




     2.1.1 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.1 is fifty-eight percent
(58%) of the Executive’s Salary.




     2.1.2 Payment of Benefit. The Company shall pay the annual benefit determined under
subsection 2.1.1 for a period of fifteen (15) years, payable monthly (one-twelfth [1/12th]
of the annual benefit) beginning on the last day of the month commencing with the month
following Separation From Service. The monthly payments under this subsection 2.1.2 shall
total one hundred eighty (180) substantially equal payments over a period of one hundred
eighty (180) months.



     2.2 Early Retirement Benefit. If Separation From Service occurs on or after the Early
Retirement Date and prior to the Normal Retirement Date and prior to a Change of Control, the
Company shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.2 in lieu of any other
benefit under this Agreement.




     2.2.1 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.2 is the annual benefit set
forth in subsection 2.1.1 reduced by one-half of a percent (0.5%) for each month or partial
month between Separation From Service and the Normal Retirement Date. By way of example,
assume the Executive elects to retire at age 591/2, which is 66 months prior to the Normal
Retirement Date. Assume further the annual benefit under subsection 2.1.1 equals twenty
percent (20%) of Salary. Based on these assumptions the percentage of Salary payable under
this subsection 2.2.1 would equal 20% times 67% (100% minus the product of 66 times 0.5%).
The resulting annual benefit under this subsection 2.2.1, based on the assumptions in this
example, would equal 13.4% (20% multiplied by 67%) of Salary.




     2.2.2 Payment of Benefit. The Company shall pay the annual benefit determined under
subsection 2.2.1 for a period of fifteen (15) years, payable
monthly (one-twelfth [1/12th] of the annual benefit) beginning on the last day of the
month commencing with the month following Separation From Service. The monthly payments
under this subsection 2.2.2 shall total one hundred eighty (180) substantially equal
payments over a period of one hundred eighty (180) months.



     2.3 Separation From Service Prior to the Early Retirement Date or Prior to the Normal
Retirement Date. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.6 and 5.3, if Separation From Service
occurs, for reasons other than death or Disability, and prior to a Change of Control and prior to
either the Early Retirement Date or to the Normal Retirement Date, the Company shall pay to the
Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.3 in lieu of any other benefit under this
Agreement.



5









 






     2.3.1 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.3 is the Executive Benefit
Accrual as of Separation From Service.




     2.3.2 Payment of Benefit. The Company shall pay the Executive the benefit set forth in
subsection 2.3.1 in a single lump-sum within sixty (60) days of Separation From Service.



     2.4 Disability Benefit. Upon Disability prior to the Normal Retirement Date, the Company
shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.4 in lieu of any other benefit
under this Agreement.




     2.4.1 Amount of Benefit. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 and Section 5.3, the
annual benefit under this Section 2.4 is the annual benefit set forth in subsection 2.1.1.




     2.4.2 Payment of Benefit. The Company shall pay the annual benefit determined under
subsection 2.4.1, in lieu of any other benefit under this Agreement, for a period of
fifteen (15) years, payable monthly (one-twelfth [1/12th] of the annual benefit) beginning
on the last day of the month commencing with the month following the Executive’s Normal
Retirement Date. The monthly payments under this subsection 2.4.2 shall total one hundred
eighty (180) substantially equal payments over a period of one hundred eighty (180) months.




     2.4.3 Death During Disability. In the event the Executive dies following Disability
and prior to receiving any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the
Beneficiary the annual benefit set forth in Section 3.1.2 in lieu of any other benefit
under this Agreement.



     2.5 Change of Control Benefit. Upon a Change of Control prior to Separation From Service and
prior to Disability, the Company subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 and Section 5.3, shall
pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.5 in lieu of any other benefit under
this Agreement.



          2.5.1 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.5 shall be 100% of the normal
retirement benefit set forth in subsection 2.1.1.




          2.5.2 Payment of Benefit. The Company shall pay the annual benefit determined under
subsection 2.5.1 for a period of fifteen (15) years, payable monthly (one-twelfth [1/12th] of the
annual benefit) beginning on the last day of the month commencing with the month following the
Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, or, in the event the Executive has already attained the Normal
Retirement Date, the last day of the month following the month of Separation From Service. In the
event the Executive dies prior to reaching his Normal Retirement Date, the benefit is then payable
to his Beneficiary beginning on the last day of the month commencing with the month following the
Executive’s death.

     2.6 Excess Parachute Payment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the Company shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement to the extent the benefit would be a
non-deductible parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code.



     2.7 Restriction on Distributions to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is considered a Specified Employee at Separation From
Service, the provisions of this Section 2.7 shall govern all distributions hereunder. Benefit
distributions that are made due to a Separation From Service occurring while the Executive is a
Specified Employee shall not be made during the first six (6) months following Separation From
Service, rather any distribution which would otherwise be paid to the Executive during such period
shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month
following the Separation From Service. All subsequent distributions shall be paid in the manner
specified.



     2.8 Distributions Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A of the Code. If any amount is
required to be included in income by the Executive prior to receipt due to a failure of this
Agreement to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Executive may petition the plan
administrator for a distribution of that portion of the Executive Benefit Accrual that is required
to be included in the Executive’s income. Upon the grant of such a petition, which grant shall not
be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall distribute to the Executive immediately available funds
in an amount equal to the portion of the Executive Benefit Accrual required to be included in
income as a result of the failure of this Agreement to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A,
which amount shall not exceed the Executive’s unpaid Executive Benefit Accrual. If the petition is
granted, such distribution shall be made within ninety (90) days of the date when the Executive’s
petition is granted. Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the Executive’s benefits to be
paid under this Agreement.



     2.9 No Suspension Upon Re-employment. Once benefit payments commence hereunder, such payments
shall continue to be made notwithstanding the re-employment of the Executive by the Company except
as provided in Section 5.1 or 5.2.



Article 3

Beneficiaries




     3.1 Death During Active Service. The Company shall pay to the Beneficiary the benefit
described in this Section 3.1 if the Executive dies: (i) prior to Separation From Service and prior
to Disability before the Normal Retirement Date and (ii) prior to a Change of Control.




     3.1.1 Amount of Benefit. The annual benefit under this Section 3.1 is the annual
benefit set forth in Section 2.1.1.




     3.1.2 Payment of Benefit. The Company shall pay the annual benefit determined under
subsection 3.1.1, in lieu of any other benefit under this Agreement, for a period of
fifteen (15) years, payable monthly (one-twelfth [1/12th] of the annual benefit) beginning
on the last day of the month commencing with the month following the Executive’s death. The
monthly payments under this subsection 3.1.2 shall total one hundred eighty (180)
substantially equal payments over a period of one hundred eighty (180) months.



7









 





     3.2 Death During Benefit Period. If benefit payments have commenced or were scheduled to
commence under Article 2 of this Agreement, but before receiving all such payments the Executive
dies, the Company shall then pay the remaining benefits to the Executive’s Beneficiary at the same
time and in the same amounts that would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived.
Notwithstanding the preceding, the Executive or his Beneficiary shall not be entitled to a benefit
under both Article 2 and 3 hereof, it being the intent that there shall not be any duplication of
benefits hereunder.



Article 4

Beneficiaries




     4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive may designate or change his Beneficiary at any
time and from time to time (without the consent of any prior Beneficiary). An Executive’s
Beneficiary shall be as designated on a Beneficiary Designation in the form of Exhibit A to this
Agreement or another form acceptable to the Company. The Executive may change his Beneficiary
designation by properly executing a new Beneficiary Designation and delivering that form to the
Company, provided however, no change shall be effective until received by the Company, and provided
further, that no change shall be effective unless received by the Company before the Executive’s
death. Furthermore, each designation so made shall cancel and supersede all previous designations.
The designated Beneficiary, designated successor Beneficiary, and any other person entitled to
payments under this Agreement shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Beneficiary”
irrespective of the number thereof. The divorce of the Executive from his spouse shall, without any
further action, automatically revoke the designation of such spouse as a Beneficiary of the
Executive’s benefits under this Agreement but shall not result in the automatic revocation of any
other Beneficiary designated by the Executive. The preceding sentence shall not preclude the
Executive
from executing a new Beneficiary designation after his divorce is final and naming his former
spouse as a Beneficiary of all or part of his benefits. If no Beneficiary shall have been properly
designated, or if no Beneficiary shall survive the Executive, the benefits shall be payable to the
Executive’s estate. All rights of a Beneficiary shall be derivative of the rights of the
Executive, therefore, a Beneficiary shall not be entitled to any benefits hereunder if the
Executive is not entitled to any benefits hereunder. During the lifetime of the Executive, a
Beneficiary shall have no rights under this Agreement.



     4.2 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incompetent,
or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Company may pay
such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such
minor, incompetent person or incapable person, or to a custodian selected by the Company under the
Mississippi Uniform Transfers to Minors Act for the benefit of such minor. The Company may require
proof of incompetency, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of
the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Company from all liability with
respect to such benefit.



8









 





Article 5

General Limitations




     Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not pay any
benefit under this Agreement if any of the following occur:



     5.1 Termination for Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for any of the
following reasons:




     5.1.1 Conviction in a court of competent jurisdiction of a felony; or




     5.1.2 Fraud, dishonesty, or embezzlement. Also, any willful violation of any law or
willful violation of a significant Company policy committed in connection with the
Executive’s employment, with either resulting in an adverse effect on the Company.



     5.2 Suicide. No benefits shall be payable if the Executive commits suicide within two (2)
years after the date of this Agreement, including any amendment and restatement of the Prior
Agreements, or if the Executive has made any material misstatement of fact on any application for
life insurance purchased by the Company.



     5.3 Golden Parachute Payment. 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 would be prohibited by 12 C.F.R.
Part 359 or any successor regulations regarding employee compensation promulgated by any regulatory
agency having jurisdiction over the Company or its affiliates or to the extent the benefit would be
a non-deductible excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code. To the extent
possible, such benefit payment shall be proportionately reduced to allow payment within the
fullest extent permissible under applicable law.

Miscellaneous




     8.1 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive and the Company, and their
beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and permitted transferees.



11









 





     8.2 No Guaranty of Employment. This Agreement is not an employment policy or contract. It does
not give the Executive the right to remain an employee of the Company, nor does it interfere with
the Company’s right to discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an
employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate employment at any time.



     8.3 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned,

of the Company to which the Executive and Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.

more provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or

affect the other provisions of this Agreement. In the event any one or more of the provisions found
in the Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any governmental
regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall be construed as if such

intent of the parties to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(attach a separate sheet if additional space is needed)




     I understand that if I designate more than one beneficiary in a class above (i.e. primary or
contingent), each beneficiary in that class will receive an equal share of the benefits unless I
specify a different percentage. If I designate more than one beneficiary in a class above (i.e.
primary or contingent), the share of a beneficiary who predeceases me will be divided pro rata
among the remaining designated beneficiaries in that class unless I specify an alternate
disposition. Unless I specify an alternate disposition, I also understand that a beneficiary who
survives me but who dies before the complete distribution of his/her benefits shall be entitled to
designate the beneficiary of any benefits remaining after his/her death and that upon his/her
failure to properly designate a beneficiary, the beneficiary’s remaining benefits shall be paid to
his/her estate.



     I understand that this designation shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
