     8.   Termination.
          -----------

          (a)  Employer may terminate Executive and this Agreement For Cause.
"For Cause" shall mean (i) abuse of or addiction to intoxicating drugs
(including alcohol); (ii) any action by the Executive which constitutes fraud,
willful malfeasance of duty or conduct grossly inappropriate to Executive's
office and which is demonstrably likely to lead to material injury to Employer,
or a successor or affiliate of Employer, (iii) a felony conviction of Executive;
or (iv) the suspension or removal of Executive by federal or state banking
regulatory authorities; provided, that "For Cause" shall not include Executive's
medical disability.  In addition, the services of Executive and the obligations
of Employer under this Agreement shall be deemed terminated For Cause by
Employer due to the death of Executive.

          (b)  If Employer terminates Executive's employment hereunder "For
Cause" all rights of Employer and obligations imposed upon Executive in Section
7 shall survive any such termination and Executive shall not be entitled to any
further compensation from Employer.

          (c)  If for any reason during the term of this Agreement Executive
desires to cease working for Employer, or to retire in accordance with the
normal retirement policies of Employer, Executive shall notify Employer of such
desire.  In that case, Executive may cease working for Employer at a mutually
agreed upon date, all rights and obligations specified in Section 7 shall
continue to apply in full and Executive shall not be entitled to any further
compensation from Employer as of the date of termination.
<PAGE>

          (d)  Employer may terminate Executive other than "For Cause" but, in
that case, for a period of two years from the date of termination of Executive's
employment if Executive has been employed by Employer or its predecessors for 20
years or less, or for a period of three years from the date of termination of
Executive's employment if Executive has been employed by Employer or its
predecessors in excess of 20 years, (i) Executive shall continue to receive the
minimum base salary, excluding bonus, provided for in Section 4(a) (less
disability payments, if any, received by Employee), (ii) Employer shall continue
to maintain the insurance policy described in Section 4(b) and health insurance
provided under Section 4(c) or health insurance comparable to that maintained by
Employer on behalf of Executive prior to such termination, and (iii) all rights
of Employer and obligations imposed on Executive in Section 7 shall survive any
such termination, which for purposes of this Section 8(d) shall mean that the
Non-Competition Period provided for therein shall continue until all payments
due to Employee under this Section 8(d) have been made and, thereafter, they
shall expire.

          (e)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon
the occurrence of a "Change in Control" of Employer, all rights and obligations
specified in Section 7 (but not Section 4) shall terminate immediately. For
purposes of this Section 8(e), "Change of Control" shall mean the occurrence
during the term of this Agreement of any of the following events: (i) a merger,
consolidation or other corporate reorganization of Employer in which Employer
does not survive, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
Employer,(ii) when any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (other than the Employer, any
subsidiary of the Employer, or any Employer employee benefit plan, including its
trustee), is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
such Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Employer
representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of
the Employer's then outstanding securities; or (iii) individuals who currently
constitute the directors of Employer, or who become directors of Employer upon
nomination or election by the directors of Employer, other than through an
actual or threatened stockholder election contest, cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the directors of Employer or its successor.  If within
two years after a change of control of Employer, Executive's duties under this
Agreement are materially altered or Executive is required to relocate his
residence to a city other than Eufaula, Alabama, or Executive is no longer
appointed to the offices designated in Section 3, then Executive may at his
option terminate this Agreement and such termination shall be considered to be a
termination of Executive's employment by Employer for reasons other than For
Cause under Section 8(d).  For purposes of determining the identity of a
beneficial owner of shares under clause (ii) above, shares held directly by
Robert M. Dixon or Michael D. Dixon, or shares held by their estate, or shares
held by any person who, under Federal Reserve Board Regulation 12 C.F.R.
(S)225.41(b)(2), is deemed to be acting in consent with them, shall not be
included in calculating the 25 percent limit referenced in clause (ii).

     9.   Notice.  For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and demands shall
          ------
be deemed given when mailed by United States mail, addressed in the case of
Employer to James R. Balkcom, Eufaula BancCorp, Inc., Post Office Box 1269,

     10.  Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived,
          -------------
or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in
writing. The validity,
<PAGE>

interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Alabama. This Agreement supersedes and cancels any
prior employment agreement or understanding entered into between Executive and
Employer.

     11.  Validity.  The invalidity of any provision or provisions of this
          --------
Agreement shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall
remain in full force and effect, nor shall the invalidity of a portion of any
provision of this Agreement affect the balance of such provision.

     12.  Parties.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
          -------
benefit of any successors or assigns to Employer.  Executive may not assign any
of his rights or delegate any of his duties or obligations under this Agreement
or any portion hereof.
