the Executive.

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

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 nor 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 will 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. The Banks failure to obtain an assumption agreement before
effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to the Change-in-Control benefit provided in Section 2.4.

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 Split Dollar Agreement attached as Addendum A constitute the entire agreement between the Bank and
the Executive concerning 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 the full extent consistent
with law.

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. 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,
MidCarolina Bank, 3101 South Church Street, Burlington, North Carolina 27215.

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 his 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 his 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 to the Executive hereunder, the Bank irrevocably authorizes the Executive from time
to time to retain counsel of his 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 $250,000, 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.

7.14 Internal Revenue Code Section 280G Gross Up. (a) Additional Payment to Account for Excise Taxes. If as a result of a Change in Control the Executive becomes entitled to acceleration of
benefits under this Salary Continuation Agreement or under any other plan or agreement of or with the Bank or its affiliates (together, the Total Benefits), and if any of the Total Benefits will be subject to the Excise Tax as set forth
in sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Excise Tax), the Bank shall pay to the Executive the following additional amounts, consisting of (1) a payment equal to the Excise Tax payable by the Executive on
the Total Benefits under section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Excise Tax Payment), and (2) a payment equal to the amount necessary to provide the Excise Tax Payment net of all income, payroll and excise taxes. Together,
the additional amounts described in clauses (1) and (2) are referred to in this Agreement as the Gross-Up Payment Amount.

Executive in connection with a Change in Control or the Executives Termination of Employment (whether under the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement or any other benefit plan or arrangement with the Bank, any person whose actions
result in a Change in Control, or any person affiliated with the Bank or such person) shall be treated as parachute payments within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, and all excess parachute
payments within the meaning of section 280G(b)(1) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of the certified public accounting firm that is retained by the Bank as of the date immediately before the Change in Control
(the Accounting Firm) such other payments or benefits do not constitute (in whole or in part) parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments represent (in whole or in part) reasonable compensation for services actually rendered
within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code in excess of the base amount (as defined in section 280G(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code), or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax,

(2) Calculation of Benefits Subject to Excise Tax: the amount of the Total Benefits that shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be
equal to the lesser of (a) the total amount of the Total Benefits reduced by the amount of such Total Benefits that in the opinion of the Accounting Firm are not parachute payments, or (b) the amount of excess parachute payments within the
meaning of section 280G(b)(1) (after applying clause (1), above), and

(3) Value of Noncash Benefits and Deferred Payments: the value
of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Assumed Marginal Income Tax Rate. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to pay
federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate



---

of federal income taxation in the calendar years in which the Gross-Up Payment Amount is to be made and state and local
income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executives residence on the date of termination of employment, net of the reduction in federal income taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such
state and local taxes (calculated by assuming that any reduction under section 68 of the Internal Revenue Code in the amount of itemized deductions allowable to the Executive applies first to reduce the amount of such state and local income taxes
that would otherwise be deductible by the Executive, and applicable federal FICA and Medicare withholding taxes).

Return of Reduced
Excise Tax Payment or Payment of Additional Excise Tax. If the Excise Tax is later determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder when the Executives employment terminated, the Executive shall repay to the Bank 
when the amount of the reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined  the portion of the Gross-Up Payment Amount attributable to the reduction (plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment Amount attributable to the Excise Tax, federal, state and
local income taxes and FICA and Medicare withholding taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment Amount being repaid by the Executive to the extent that the repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax, FICA, and Medicare withholding taxes and/or a
federal, state, or local income tax deduction).

If the Excise Tax is later determined to be more than the amount taken into account
hereunder when the Executives employment terminated (due, for example, to a payment whose existence or amount cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment Amount), the Bank shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment Amount to the
Executive for that excess (plus any interest, penalties, or additions payable by the Executive for the excess) when the amount of the excess is finally determined.

(b) Responsibilities of the Accounting Firm and the Bank. Determinations Shall Be Made by the Accounting Firm. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.14(a), all determinations required to be made
under this Section 7.14(b)  including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment Amount is required, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment Amount and the assumptions to be used to arrive at the determination (collectively, the
Determination)  shall be made by the Accounting Firm, which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Bank and the Executive within 15 business days after receipt of notice from the Bank or the Executive that there
has been a Gross-Up Payment Amount, or such earlier time as is requested by the Bank.

Fees and Expenses of the Accounting Firm and
Agreement with the Accounting Firm. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Bank. The Bank shall enter into any agreement requested by the Accounting Firm in connection with the performance of its services
hereunder.

Accounting Firms Opinion. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, the
Accounting Firm shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion to that effect, and to the effect that failure to report Excise Tax, if any, on the Executives applicable federal income tax return will not result in the imposition of a
negligence or similar penalty.

Accounting Firms Determination Is Binding; Underpayment and Overpayment. The Determination by
the Accounting Firm shall be binding on the Bank and the Executive. Because of the uncertainty in determining whether any of the Total Benefits will be subject to the Excise Tax at the time of the Determination, it is possible that a Gross-Up
Payment Amount that should have been made will not have been made by the Bank (Underpayment), or that a Gross-Up Payment Amount will be made



---

that should not have been made by the Bank (Overpayment). If, after a Determination by the Accounting Firm,
the Executive is required to make a payment of additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred. The Underpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the
Internal Revenue Code) shall be paid promptly by the Bank to or for the benefit of the Executive. If the Gross-Up Payment Amount exceeds the amount necessary to reimburse the Executive for his Excise Tax according to Section 7.14(a), the
Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Overpayment that has been made. The Overpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall be paid promptly by the Executive to or for
the benefit of the Bank. Provided that his expenses are reimbursed by the Bank, the Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable requests by the Bank in any contests or disputes with the Internal Revenue Service relating to the Excise Tax.

Accounting Firm Conflict of Interest. If the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity, or
group effecting the Change in Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the Determinations required hereunder (in which case the term Accounting Firm as used in this Agreement shall
be deemed to refer to the accounting firm appointed by the Executive under this paragraph).

7.15 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 7.15 shall become null and void effective immediately if a Change in Control occurs.

Article 8

Administration of Agreement

8.1 Plan Administrator Duties. This Agreement shall be administered by a Plan Administrator consisting of the board or such committee or person(s) as the board shall appoint. The Executive may be a member of the Plan Administrator.

this Agreement, the Plan Administrator may employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel, who may be counsel to

8.3 Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question arising
out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation, and application of the Agreement and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Agreement. No
Executive or Beneficiary shall be deemed to have any right, vested or nonvested, regarding the continued use of any previously adopted assumptions, including but not limited to the discount rate and calculation method described in Section 1.1.



---

8.4 Indemnity of Plan Administrator. The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the
Plan Administrator against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Agreement, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Plan Administrator or any of its
members.

8.5 Bank Information. To enable the Plan Administrator to perform its functions, the Bank shall supply full and timely
information to the Plan Administrator on all matters relating to the date and circumstances of the retirement, Disability, death, or Termination of Employment of the Executive and such other pertinent information as the Plan Administrator may
reasonably require.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and a duly
authorized officer of the Bank have executed this Salary Continuation Agreement as of the date first written above.

|(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 during
retirement, beginning September 1, 2017.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | The Early Termination benefit and the Disability benefit are calculated as an annual payment stream of the Accrual Balance that exists at the end of the year preceding the year in
which Early Termination or Disability occurs, using a standard discount rate (6.50%). The Early Termination and Disability benefits continue for the Executives lifetime and are included for illustrative purposes only.

|(3) | Projected retirement occurs on August 16, 2017, with the first normal monthly retirement benefit being paid on September 1, 2017.
