 5 








 (h) “Customer” shall mean any person or business with whom the Bank had a
depository and/or loan relationship as of the date of the Employee’s termination of employment. 
 (i) “Change in
Control” shall mean any of the following, each of which shall be construed in a manner that is consistent with the definition of a “change in control event” for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the Regulations
thereunder: 
 (a) Change in Ownership: The date of acquisition by a person or by persons acting as a group of capital stock of the Bank or
of MidCarolina Financial Corporation (herein “MFC”), which when added to the stock already owned by that person or the persons acting as a group, constitutes more than 50% of the fair market value or more than 50% of the total voting power
of the Bank or of MFC; provided that the person or persons acting as a group did not own more than 50% of the fair market value or total voting power of the Bank or MFC, respectively, prior to such acquisition. 
 For purposes of determining whether there has been a change in ownership, persons shall not be considered to be acting as a group simply because they
purchase or own stock at the same time or as a result of the same public offering. Persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation which enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase of stock or similar
business transaction with the Bank or MFC. If a person is a shareholder of the Bank or MFC and also of the other corporation that enters into business transaction with the Bank or MFC, respectively, he shall be treated as acting as a group only with
respect to the ownership of the Bank or MFC and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. 
  

 6 








 (b) Change in Board Composition: The date a majority of the members of MFC’s Board
of Directors are replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of MFC’s Board of Directors prior to the date of the appointment or election. 
 (c) Change in Ownership of Assets: The date a person or persons acting as a group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date
of the most recent acquisition) assets of the Bank that have a total gross fair market value exceeding 50% of the total fair market value of all of the assets of the Bank, determined immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions; provided that
the acquirer is not a related person as defined in Regs. § 1. 409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(B). Gross fair market value of the assets shall be determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. 
 Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they acquire assets of the Bank at the same time; however, persons will be
considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation which enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or similar business transaction with the Bank or MFC. If a person, including an entity shareholder, owns stock in
both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets or similar transaction, the 

  

 7 








 
shareholder shall be considered as acting as a group with other shareholders only to the extent of the ownership of the corporation before the transaction
giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. 
 (j) “Termination
for Cause” shall be defined for these purposes as: 
 (i) A determination by the Board that Employee has breached or
failed to perform, in any material respect, any of his duties of employment or the terms of this Agreement. Employee may cure the breach, if curable, within a period of ten (10) business days after the Bank has given written notice of such
breach to Employee, unless the Bank has given written notice to Employee on a previous occasion of the same or a substantially similar breach; 
 (ii) The violation by Employee of the rules and regulations governing the Bank promulgated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the North Carolina State Banking Commission, or any other legal duty, which
violation results in damage to the Bank or its reputation; 
 (iii) The suspension of Employee from office or temporary
prohibition of Employee from participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Bank pursuant to the direction of the North Carolina State Banking Commission or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; 
 (iv) Conviction of a felony or a misdemeanor determined by the Board of Directors to involve morale turpitude; 
  

 8 








 (v) Employee’s willful misconduct (including chronic substance abuse) or other
conduct which is materially detrimental to the business prospects of the Bank or which has had or is likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Bank’s business or reputation. 
 (vi) Employee’s committing fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement in the performance of the Employee’s duties as an employee of
the Bank, or its affiliates; or 
 (vii) neglect of duties for which employed or misconduct in the performance of duties for
which employed, all such facts to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Bank. 
 (k) “Good
Reason” means: 
 (i) a material reduction in the Employee’s base compensation; 
 (ii) a material reduction in the Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities; 
 (iii) a material reduction in the budget over which the Employee has authority; 
 (iv) a material change in the geographic location at which the Employee must perform services; or 
 (v) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Bank of any employment agreement between the Bank and the
Employee; 
 Provided, however, the Employee shall be required to give written notice to the Bank of the occurrence of the
applicable event described in this Section 7(k) within sixty (60) days 

  

 9 








 
of the initial occurrence of the event, and the Bank shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the receipt of the notice to remedy the matter. If the
Employee fails to give such notice or if the event is so remedied, there shall not be Good Reason. 
 8. Covenant Not to Compete.

 Employee shall have access to Confidential Information during his employment with the Bank. To protect adequately such Confidential
Information, Employee agrees as follows: 
 (a) During the term of his employment with the Bank, Employee shall not perform
work for himself or for any other person, entity or business, which is engaged in Competitive Activity without the prior written consent of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank after full disclosure, regardless of whether Employee is
compensated for that work or not; and 
 (b) If, during the two year period immediately following a Change in Control,
Employee’s employment with the Bank ends as a result of: (i) involuntary termination by the Bank except a Termination for Cause, or (ii) voluntary termination by Employee for Good Reason, then the Bank shall have no obligation to pay
the compensation provided in Section 4 (exhibit A) above beyond the date of termination. However, the Bank agrees to pay Employee the Special Consideration provided in Section 11 below, and Employee agrees that, during the Restricted
Period and within the Restricted Area, he will not, directly or indirectly, engage in Competitive Activity, whether as an owner, advisor, employee, officer, director, manager, consultant, representative, agent, independent contractor or otherwise.

 (c) If, during the two year period immediately following a Change in Control, Employee’s employment with the Bank ends
as a result of voluntary termination by Employee 

  

 10 








 
without Good Reason, then the Board of Directors of the Bank may, in its sole discretion, elect whether the termination event triggers the Covenant Not to
Compete in Section 8(b). In no event shall the Bank have any obligation to pay the compensation provided in Section 4 (exhibit A) above beyond the date of termination. However, should the Board of Directors of the Bank elect to trigger the
Covenant Not to Compete in Section 8(b), the Bank agrees to pay Employee the Special Consideration provided in Section 11 below. 
 (d) If there has been no Change in Control within the preceding two years and: (i) Employee’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Bank, or (ii) Employee voluntarily quits his employment, then
the Board of Directors of the Bank may, in its sole discretion, elect whether the termination event triggers the Covenant Not to Compete in Section 8(b). In no event shall the Bank have any obligation to pay the compensation provided in
Section 4 (exhibit A) above beyond the date of termination. However, should the Board of Directors of the Bank elect to trigger the Covenant Not to Compete in Section 8(b), the Bank agrees to pay Employee the Special Consideration provided
in Section 11 below. Should the Bank not elect to trigger this Covenant Not to Compete, the Bank shall have no obligation to pay the Special Consideration provided in Section 11 below. 
 The parties acknowledge and agree that given the nature of Employer’s business and Employee’s access to Employer’s
proprietary, trade secret and other Confidential Information, the scope of the covenants and the associated time and territory restrictions, which were arrived at as a result of arms-length bargaining, are reasonable and appropriate for the
protection of Employer’s legitimate business interests. Employee hereby waives the right to assert that any such restriction is unreasonable. 
  

 11 








 It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 8
shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under the laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular portion of this Section 8 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable, such adjudication shall apply only with respect to the operation of that portion in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made, and all other portions shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to prevent Employee from, or require the Bank’s consent for: (i) investing personal assets in businesses in such form or manner that will not require any services on the part of Employee in the operation or the
affairs of the companies in which such investments are made and in which Employee participation is solely that of an investor; or (ii) purchasing securities in any corporation whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or
regularly traded in the over-the-counter market, provided that Employee at no time owns, directly or indirectly, in excess of one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any class of any such corporation engaged in a business competitive with
that of the Bank. 
 9. Confidentiality. 
 To protect adequately the Bank’s Confidential Information, in addition to the Covenant Not to Compete set forth herein, Employee agrees as follows: 
 (a) During the term of his employment with the Bank and forever thereafter, Employee will diligently protect against unauthorized
disclosure and, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of Employee’s employment with the Bank, will not disclose any Confidential Information of the Bank or its affiliates. Employee agrees that he will not copy any such information
or materials or divulge the same or any part thereof to any other 

  

 12 








 
person, firm, corporation or organization, or use such information or materials, either for himself or for the benefit of any third party, whether in
competition with the Bank or otherwise, except as necessary in the ordinary course of Employee’s employment by the Bank. 
 (b) Upon the termination of Employee’s employment, for whatever reason, or upon the prior demand of the Bank, Employee shall immediately return to the Bank all Confidential Information and materials described above then in
Employee’s possession or control. 
 10. Non-Inducement of Employees. During Employee’s employment hereunder, and for
a period of two (2) years thereafter, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, induce or aid others to induce an employee of Employer to leave the employ of Employer or in any way interfere with the relationship between Employer and an
employee of Employer.  
 11. Special Consideration. 
 “Special Consideration” is defined as a sum equal to two times the
Employee’s Average Annual Total Cash Compensation. The term “Annual Total Cash Compensation” means the sum of Employee’s base salary (prior to reduction for pre-tax deferrals made under Employer’s 401(k) plan or cafeteria
plan) plus cash bonuses awarded during the measuring period. Average Annual Total Cash Compensation shall be computed by adding the Total Cash Compensation for each of the three calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which the
termination of employment occurs and dividing that sum by three. Payments will be made on a monthly basis at the rate of  1/24
th of the gross amount per month over the two year Restricted Period. In the event of a breach by Employee of any of the covenants of
Section 8, 9 or 10, the Bank may terminate payment of any further consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement. 
  

 13 








 12. Necessary and Reasonable Restrictions. Employee acknowledges and agrees that as the
Bank’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, he has knowledge of the Bank’s most proprietary and valuable Confidential Information, and that he has unique insight into and knowledge of the skills, talents and capabilities of
the Bank’s key employees. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in Sections 8, 9 and 10 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Bank, in view of, among other things, the
short duration of the restrictions, the narrow scope of the restrictions, and the Bank’s interests in protecting its goodwill, valuable Confidential Information, trade secrets, and its business relationships with its suppliers, customers and
other individuals or entities necessary to the business of the Bank. 
 Employee agrees that his background and capabilities will allow him
to seek and accept employment acceptable to him without violation of the restrictions contained in this Agreement. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that his employment with the Bank and the compensation and benefits under this Agreement
constitutes sufficient consideration for his agreement to the non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions set forth in this Agreement. 
 13. Remedies. The parties hereto agree that Employer would suffer irreparable harm that would not be adequately remedied by money damages should Employee breach any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.
Therefore, in the event of the actual or threatened breach by Employee of any of the provisions of Sections 8, 9 and 10 of this Agreement, Employer or its successors or assigns may, in addition and supplementary to any other rights and remedies
existing in its favor, including a claim for damages if supported by law, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement or to prevent such violation. Employee agrees that these
terms and conditions are reasonable. 
  

 14 








 14. Employment At Will. This Agreement shall be deemed terminated and the employment relationship
between Employee and the Bank shall be deemed severed upon the occurrence of any of the following: 
 (a) The Death of the
Employee. In such event, the Bank shall pay to Employee’s estate the compensation which would otherwise be payable to Employee up to the end of the month in which his death occurs. 
 (b) The Employee’s “Termination for Cause” as defined herein. 
 (c) Upon permanent disability (partial or total) of Employee as defined in the disability income insurance policy provided for Employee by
the Bank; 
 (d) Twenty-seven (27) months after a Change in Control as defined herein; or 
 (e) Upon 90 days written notice by either party. In such event, the Bank may opt to pay Employee a 90 day pro rata portion of Average
Total Cash Compensation and terminate the employment relationship immediately. This payment shall be separate and apart from consideration the Employee may receive under Section 11 of this Agreement, if any. 
 Upon termination of this Agreement as hereinabove set forth, all rights and obligations of the parties will cease without further liability effective as
of the date of termination; provided, however, that this Agreement shall continue to be binding and effective as to any prior obligation still owed by either party and as to the post-termination obligations set forth herein including, without
limitation, the obligations of the parties under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 23 hereof. Under no circumstances shall the Bank have any continuing obligation to pay the Employee’s compensation provided in Section 4
above after the termination of the employment relationship between the Bank and the Employee for any reason. 
  

 15 








 15. Severability. If any provision or clause of this Agreement or portion thereof shall be held in
court or any other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in such jurisdiction, the remainder of such provisions shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portion. It is the intention
of the parties that, and the parties agree that, as an essential part of the bargained-for consideration of this Agreement, if any court construes any provision or clause of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, to be illegal, void or
unenforceable because of the duration or scope of such provision, or the area or matter covered thereby, such court shall reduce the duration, areas or matter of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable to
the greatest extent permitted by law and shall be enforced. 
 16. Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may be assigned by Employer without the consent of Employee but may not be assigned by Employee. 
 17. Knowing Agreement. Employee agrees that his signature below indicates that he understands the contents of this Agreement, that he has had
ample opportunity to review the terms of this Agreement, and that he executes this Agreement of his own free will. 
 18.
No-Waiver. Failure by either Employer or Employee to exercise any remedy available to either party in the event of a default by the other shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other default, or of any repetition of the initial
default. 
 19. Amendments. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be deemed effective unless and until executed in
writing by both parties hereto. 
  

 16 








 20. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in

 23. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of
North Carolina. Employee and Employer agree that any lawsuit based in whole or in part on any provision of this Employment Agreement shall only be brought in the state or federal courts located in Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina, and
Employer and Employee waive any defenses based upon personal jurisdiction or venue to such lawsuit brought in Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina.

of the Board of Directors of the Bank acting on behalf of the Board. 
 25. Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
Employee and Employer both intend that their exercise of authority or discretion under this Agreement shall comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If, when Employee’s employment terminates Employee is a specified
employee, as defined in section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and if any payments or benefits under this Agreement will result in additional tax or interest to the Executive because of section 409A, then despite any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Employee will not be entitled to the payments or benefits until the earliest of: (a) the date that is at least six months after termination of Employee’s employment for reasons other than Employee’s death,
(b) the date of Employee’s death, or (c) any earlier date that does not result in additional tax or interest to Employee under section 409A. If any provision of this Agreement does not satisfy the requirements of section 409A, such
provision shall be applied in a manner consistent with those requirements, despite any contrary provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement would subject the Executive to additional tax or interest under section 409A, the Bank
shall reform the provision. However, the 

  

 18 








 
Bank shall maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting Employee to additional tax or
interest, and the Bank shall not be required to incur any additional compensation or other expense as a result of the reformed provision. References in this Agreement to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 include rules, regulations,
and guidance of general application issued by the Department of the Treasury under Internal Revenue Code section 409A. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above.
