Exhibit 10.5

 

AMENDMENT

TO

CAPITAL BANK DEFINED BENEFIT 

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

 

            WHEREAS, Capital Bank Corporation (the “Corporation” or “Employer”) and Capital Bank (the “Bank”) previously adopted the Capital Bank Defined Benefit Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for the purpose of providing supplemental retirement benefits to a select group of management employees; 

 

            WHEREAS, Article VII of the SERP provides the Employer the ability to amend the SERP from time to time as may be necessary to reflect changes to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing the SERP;

 

            WHEREAS, on November 3, 2010, North American Financial Holdings, Inc. (“North American”), the Corporation, and the Bank entered into an Investment Agreement, as subsequently amended on January 14, 2011, providing for North American’s investment (the “Investment Transaction”) in the Corporation on January 28, 2011, (the “Closing Date”) which will constitute a “Change in Control” giving rise to accelerated vesting and Years of Service credit under the SERP and the lump sum distribution of all SERP benefits to Participants pursuant to the current SERP terms;

 

            WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 111 and 302 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), applicable regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury with regard to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), as well as pursuant to the terms imposed by the U.S. Treasury in the TARP Securities Repurchase Agreement by and between the U.S. Treasury and North American, dated as of January 28, 2011 (the “TARP Repurchase Agreement”), and the individual benefit waivers previously executed by each of the SERP Participants as required in conjunction with the Corporation’s TARP transaction, the accelerated vesting and Years of Service credit that would be triggered under the current SERP terms as a result of the Investment Transaction would be prohibited parachute benefits;

 

            WHEREAS, in accordance with such EESA and TARP restrictions, the terms imposed by the U.S. Treasury in the TARP Repurchase Agreement and the terms of the Investment Agreement, as amended, the Employer and individual Participants desire to amend the SERP, contingent upon closing of the Investment Transaction, by adding a new Article X thereto expressly limiting the Participants’ rights and benefits under the SERP solely to the Participants’ accrued and vested benefits immediately prior to Closing Date and irrevocably waiving any and all rights to all unvested and unaccrued benefits under the SERP immediately prior to the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, any accelerated vesting and Years of Service credit or any other change in control benefits with respect to unvested and unaccrued SERP benefits that would be triggered by the transaction contemplated by the Investment Agreement or any subsequent transactions or series of transactions that would constitute a Change in Control under the SERP;    

 

            NOW, THEREFORE, the Employer hereby amends the SERP, contingent upon closing of the Investment Transaction, by adding a new Article X as follows:

 

ARTICLE X – WAIVER OF UNVESTED AND UNACCRUED BENEFITS; EFFECTIVE TERMINATION OF PLAN


 






 









 








 


Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, in accordance with the terms
of that certain Investment Agreement entered into by and among North American Financial Holdings, Inc. (“North
American”), the Corporation, and the Bank on November 3, 2010 and subsequently

regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury with regard to the Troubled Asset
Relief Program (“TARP”); the terms imposed by the U.S. Treasury in the TARP

previously executed by each of the SERP Participants as required in conjunction
with the Corporation’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the
benefits to be provided under this Plan shall be limited solely to
Participants’ vested and accrued benefits under the Plan immediately prior to
the closing of the investment transaction contemplated by the Investment
Agreement.  All unvested and unaccrued rights and benefits of Participants
under the Plan immediately prior to said closing of the investment transaction
contemplated by the Investment Agreement are irrevocably waived and forfeited
in accordance with the consents of affected Participants attached as Exhibits

terminate upon distribution of all of the Participants’ vested and accrued
benefits under the Plan (determined as of immediately prior to the closing of
the investment transaction contemplated by the Investment Agreement) in
accordance with Section 4.5 of the Investment Agreement as such amounts
represent the only benefits due and payable under the Plan.
