or, to the best knowledge of the Bank, is contemplated insofar as the Bank is concerned, and



WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall be considered an unfunded arrangement maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement benefits for the
Executive, and to be considered a non-qualified benefit plan for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The Executive is fully advised of the Banks financial status.



NOW THEREFORE, in

Article 1

Definitions



The following words and phrases used in this Agreement have the meanings specified.



1.1 Accrual Balance means the liability that should be accrued by the Bank under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the Banks obligation to the Executive under
this Agreement, by applying Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, and the calculation method and discount rate specified hereinafter. The Accrual Balance shall be
calculated assuming a level principal amount and interest as the discount rate is accrued each period. The principal accrual is



---

determined such that when it is credited with interest each month, the Accrual Balance at Normal Retirement Age equals
the present value of the normal retirement benefits. The discount rate means the rate used by the Plan Administrator for determining the Accrual Balance. The rate is based on the yield on a 20-year corporate bond rated Aa by Moodys, rounded to
the nearest 1/4%. The initial discount rate is 6.25%. In its sole discretion, the Plan Administrator may adjust the discount rate to maintain the rate within reasonable standards according to GAAP.

estate of the deceased Executive, entitled to benefits, if any, upon the death of the Executive, determined according to Article 4.



1.3 Beneficiary Designation Form means the form established from time to time by the Plan Administrator that the Executive completes,
signs, and returns to the Plan Administrator to designate one or more Beneficiaries.



1.4 Change in Control shall mean any one of the following events occurs, provided the event constitutes a change in control within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 409A and rules,
regulations, and guidance of general application thereunder issued by the Department of the Treasury, and provided the occurrence of the event is objectively determinable and does not require the exercise of discretion on the part of the Plan
Administrator or any other person 

Change in Ownership of Bank of Wilmington: a change in ownership of the Bank occurs on the date any one person or group accumulates ownership of the Banks stock constituting more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting
power of the Banks stock,



(b) Change
in Effective Control of Bank of Wilmington: (1) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires within a 12-month period ownership of stock of the Bank possessing 35% or more of the total voting power of the Banks

(c) Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of Bank
of Wilmingtons Assets: a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Banks assets occurs on the date any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires assets from the Bank having a total gross fair
market value equal to or exceeding 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Bank immediately before the acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the Banks assets, or
the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with the assets.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, a transaction in which a company becomes the holding company for the Bank shall not be considered a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement, provided the offer, sale, and issuance of shares of the holding company to Bank
stockholders as part of the holding company reorganization are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by section 3(a)(12) of that Act. If a holding company reorganization occurs, references in this Section 1.4 to the Bank
shall mean the holding company instead, and after a holding company reorganization a sale of the holding companys assets includes sale of the Bank alone.



1.5 Code means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.



1.6 Disability means, because of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be
expected to result in death or that can be expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months, (a) the Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity, or (b) the Executive is receiving income replacement
benefits for a period of at least three months under an accident and health plan of the Bank. Medical determination of disability may be made either by the Social Security Administration or by the provider of an accident or health plan covering
employees of the Bank. Upon request of the Plan Administrator, the Executive must submit proof to the Plan Administrator of the Social Security Administrations or providers determination.

intentional if it was due primarily to an error in judgment or negligence. An act or failure to act on the Executives part shall be considered intentional if it is not in good faith and if it is without a reasonable belief that the action or
failure to act is in the best interests of the Bank.

Article 2

Lifetime Benefits



2.1 Normal Retirement
Benefit. When the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.1 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement, provided the Executives Termination of

further benefits shall be paid to the Executive.



2.1.1
Amount of Benefit. The annual benefit under this Section 2.1 is $83,300.



2.1.2 Payment of Benefit. The Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month, beginning with the month immediately after the month in

of any other benefit under this Agreement.



2.2.1 Amount of
Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.2 is the Early Termination annual benefit amount, which shall be calculated as the fixed annual amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately preceding
the month in which Early Termination occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over the period beginning with the Executives Normal Retirement Age and ending when the Executive attains age 82 and taking into account interest at the discount rate
or rates established by the Plan Administrator. The Early Termination benefits shown on Schedule A are for illustrative purposes only and are based on the assumptions that Early Termination occurs immediately after the final day of a Plan Year and
that the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age more than six months thereafter.



2.2.2 Payment of Benefit. The Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month, beginning with the later of (a) the seventh month

annual amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately preceding the month in which Termination of Employment occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over the period beginning with the Executives
Normal Retirement Age and ending when the Executive attains age 82 and taking into account interest at the discount rate or rates established by the Plan Administrator. The Disability benefits shown on Schedule A are for illustrative purposes only
and are based on the assumptions that Termination of Employment occurs immediately after the final day of a Plan Year and that the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age more than six months thereafter.



2.3.2 Payment of Benefit. The Bank shall pay the annual benefit to
the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month, beginning with the later of (a) the seventh month after the Executives Termination of Employment, or (b) the month immediately after the month in
which the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for her lifetime.



2.4 Change-in-Control Benefit. If a Change in Control occurs after the date of this Agreement, unless benefits are being paid under section 2.1 the
Bank shall exercise its discretion to terminate this Agreement and pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.4 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement.



2.4.1 Amount of Benefit: The benefit under this Section 2.4 is the Accrual Balance maintained by the Bank as of
the date of the Change in Control, if the Change in Control occurs after December 31, 2018. If the Change in Control occurs on or before December 31, 2018, the benefit under this Section 2.4 shall be as follows 

Agreement.



2.6 Savings Clause Relating to Compliance with
Code Section 409A. If any provision of this Agreement does not satisfy the requirements of Code section 409A or rules, regulations, and guidance of general application issued by the Department of the Treasury under Code section 409A, such

Beneficiaries



4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall have the right to designate at any time a Beneficiary to receive any benefits payable under this

Beneficiary shall be effective until received, accepted, and acknowledged in writing by the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.



4.4 No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the
Executive, then the Executives spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made to the personal representative of the Executives estate.

4.5 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incapacitated,
or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Bank may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of the minor, incapacitated person, or incapable person. The Bank
may require proof of incapacity, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the Bank from all liability for the benefit.



Article 5

General Limitations



5.1 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate if Termination of
Employment is a result of Termination for Cause. Likewise, no benefits shall be paid under the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement attached to this Agreement as Addendum A, as the same may be amended, and the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement also

requiring additional time to make a decision, the Bank shall notify the Claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90 days.



6.2 Review Procedure. If the Claimant is determined by the Bank to be
ineligible for benefits, or if the Claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Claimant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Bank by filing a petition for review with the Bank within 60
days after receipt of the notice issued by the Bank. Said petition shall state the specific reasons, which the Claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within 60 days after receipt by the Bank of the
petition, the Bank shall afford the Claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Bank verbally or in writing, and the Claimant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Bank shall
notify the Claimant of its decision in writing within the 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner to be understood by the Claimant and the specific provisions of the Agreement on which the decision is
based. If, because of the need for a hearing, the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60 days at the election of the Bank, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Claimant.

7.2 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive, the Bank, and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, successors, administrators,
and transferees.



10



---

7.3 No Guarantee 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 Bank, nor does it interfere with the Banks right to discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an employee or interfere with the Executives
right to terminate employment at any time.



7.4
Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached, or encumbered in any manner.



7.5 Successors; Binding Agreement. The Bank shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank, by an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Bank would be required to perform this Agreement if no such succession had occurred.



7.6 Tax Withholding. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.



7.7 Applicable Law. This Agreement and all rights
hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America.



7.8 Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of the Bank for the payment of benefits under this
Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to pay benefits. Rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors.
Any insurance on the Executives life is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive and Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.



7.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement attached to this Agreement as Addendum A, as the same may be
amended, constitute the entire agreement between the Bank and the Executive as to the subject matter hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive under this Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein.



7.10 Severability. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement
is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not held invalid, and each such other provision shall continue in full force and effect to the full extent consistent with law. If any provision of this
Agreement is held invalid in part, such invalidity shall not affect the remainder of the provision not held invalid, and the remainder of such provision together with all other provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect to

7.11 Headings. Caption headings and subheadings herein are included solely for convenience of
reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.



7.12 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
delivered by hand or mailed, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, to the following addresses or to such other address as either party may designate by like notice. Unless otherwise changed by notice, notice
shall be properly addressed to the Executive if addressed to the address of the Executive on the books and records of the Bank at the time of the delivery of such notice, and properly addressed to the Bank if addressed to the Board of Directors,
Bank of Wilmington, 1117 Military Cutoff Road, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405.



7.13 Payment of Legal Fees. The Bank is aware that after a Change in Control management of the Bank could cause or attempt to cause the Bank to refuse to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, or
could institute or cause or attempt to cause the Bank to institute litigation seeking to have this Agreement declared unenforceable, or could take or attempt to take other action to deny Executive the benefits intended under this Agreement. In these
circumstances, the purpose of this Agreement would be frustrated. It is the intention of the Bank that the Executive not be required to incur the expenses associated with the enforcement of her rights under this Agreement, whether by litigation or
other legal action, because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be granted to the Executive hereunder. It is the intention of the Bank that the Executive not be forced to negotiate settlement of her
rights under this Agreement under threat of incurring expenses. Accordingly, if after a Change in Control occurs it appears to the Executive that (a) the Bank has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, or
(b) the Bank or any other person has taken any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or instituted any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish, or to recover from the Executive the benefits intended to be
provided hereunder, the Bank irrevocably authorizes the Executive from time to time to retain counsel of her choice, at the expense of the Bank as provided in this Section 7.13, to represent the Executive in connection with the initiation or
defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Bank or any director, officer, stockholder, or other person affiliated with the Bank, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or previous attorney-client
relationship between the Bank and any counsel chosen by the Executive under this Section 7.13, the Bank irrevocably consents to the Executive entering into an attorney-client relationship with that counsel, and the Bank and the Executive agree
that a confidential relationship shall exist between the Executive and that counsel. The fees and expenses of counsel selected from time to time by the Executive as provided in this section shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive by the Bank on
a regular, periodic basis upon presentation by the Executive of a statement or statements prepared by such counsel in accordance with such counsels customary practices, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $100,000, whether suit be brought or
not, and whether or not incurred in trial, bankruptcy, or appellate proceedings. The Banks obligation to pay the Executives legal fees provided by this Section 7.13 operates separately from and in addition to any legal fee
reimbursement obligation the Bank may have with the Executive under any separate employment, severance, or other agreement between the Executive and the Bank.



12



---

7.14 Termination or Modification of Agreement Because of Changes in Law, Rules or Regulations.The
Bank is entering into this Agreement on the assumption that certain existing tax laws, rules, and regulations will continue in effect in their current form. If that assumption materially changes and the change has a material detrimental effect on
this Agreement, then the Bank reserves the right to terminate or modify this Agreement accordingly, subject to the written consent of the Executive, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. This Section 7.14 shall become null and void
effective immediately upon a Change in Control.

|(1) | Calculations are approximations. Benefit calculations are based on prior year-end accrual balances. The accrual balance reflects payment at the beginning of each month.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | The Early Termination benefit and the Disability benefit continue for the Executives lifetime. The Early Termination and Disability benefits are calculated as the fixed annual
amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately preceding the month in which Termination of Employment occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over the period beginning with the Executives Normal
Retirement Age and ending when the Executive attains age 82 and taking into account interest at the discount rate or rates established by the Plan Administrator. Using a standard discount rate (6.25%), Early Termination and Disability benefits are
shown for illustrative purposes only and are based on the assumption that Termination of Employment occurs immediately after the final day of a Plan Year. The Early Termination and Disability benefits shown also assume the Executives
Termination of Employment occurs more than six months before the Executives Normal Retirement Age, and that the Early Termination benefit or the Disability benefit therefore becomes payable beginning in the month after the Executive attains
the Normal Retirement Age.

|(3) | The benefit payable under Section 2.4 for a Change in Control is the Accrual Balance that exists when the Change in Control occurs if the Change in Control occurs after
December 31, 2018. If the Change in Control occurs on or before December 31, 2018, the benefit is the projected accrual balance at the year end determined under Section 2.4. The benefit is shown for illustrative purposes only.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | The Executive attains Normal Retirement Age on March 4, 2020. The first monthly normal retirement benefit payment will be made on April 1, 2020.

If there is a contradiction between the terms of the Agreement and
Schedule A concerning the actual amount of a particular benefit amount due the Executive under Section 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 of the Agreement, then the actual amount of the benefit set forth in the Agreement shall control. If the Plan Administrator
changes the discount rate employed for purposes of calculating the Accrual Balance, the Plan Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared a revised Schedule A, which shall supersede and replace any and all Schedules A previously prepared
under or attached to the Agreement.
