          **2.6**          **Contradiction Between the Agreement and Schedule A**.  If there is a contradiction between this Agreement and Schedule A attached hereto concerning the actual amount of a particular benefit due to the Executive under sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 hereof, then the amount of the benefit determined under 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 this Agreement.

          **2.7**          **Savings Clause Relating to Compliance with Code Section 409A**.  Despite any contrary provision of this Agreement, if when the Executive’s employment terminates the Executive is a specified employee, as defined in Code section 409A, and if any payments under Article 2 of this Agreement will result in additional tax or interest to the Executive because of section 409A, the Executive will not be entitled to the payments under Article 2 until the earliest of (*x*) the date that is at least six months after termination of the Executive’s employment for reasons other than the Executive’s death, (*y*) the date of the Executive’s death, or (*z*) any earlier date that does not result in additional tax or interest to the Executive under section 409A.  If any provision of this Agreement wouldsubject the Executive to additional tax or interest under section 409A, the Bank shall reform the provision.  However, the Bank shall maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting the Executive to additional tax or interest, and the Bank shall not be required to incur any additional compensation expense as a result of the reformed provision.

          **2.8**          **One Benefit Only**.  Despite anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Executive and Beneficiary are entitled to one benefit only under this Agreement, which shall be determined by the first event to occur that is dealt with by this Agreement.  Except as provided in section 2.5 or Article 3, subsequent occurrence of events dealt with by this Agreement shall not entitle the Executive or Beneficiary to other or additional benefits under this Agreement.

**ARTICLE 3 DEATH BENEFITS**

          **3.1**          **Death Before Separation from Service**.  Except as provided in section 5.2, if the Executive dies before Separation from Service, the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to (*x*) an amount in cash equal to the Accrual Balance existing at the Executive’s death, unless the Change-in-Control benefit shall have previously been paid to the Executive under sections 2.4 or 2.5, and (*y*) the benefit described in the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement attached to this Agreement as Addendum A.  No benefit shall be paid under clause (*x*) if the Change-in-Control benefit shall have previously been paid to the Executive under sections 2.4 or 2.5.  If a benefit is payable to the Executive’s Beneficiary under clause (*x*), the benefit shall be paid in a single lump sum 90 days after theExecutive’s death.  However, no benefits under this Agreement or under the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement shall be paid or payable to the Executive or the Executive’s Beneficiary if this Agreement is terminated under Article 5.

If the Executive dies after Separation from Service and if Separation from Service was not a Termination for Cause, at the Executive’s death the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to an amount in cash equal to the Accrual Balance remaining at the Executive’s death, unless the Change-in-Control benefit shall have previously been paid to the Executive under sections 2.4 or 2.5.  If a benefit is payable to the Executive’s Beneficiary under this section 3.2, the benefit shall be paid in a single lump sum 90 days after the Executive’s death.  However, no benefits under this Agreement shall be paid or payable to the Executive or the Executive’s Beneficiary if this Agreement is terminated under Article 5.

**ARTICLE 4 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 Agreement upon the death of the Executive.  The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the beneficiary designation under any other benefit plan of the Bank in which the Executive participates.

          **4.2**          **Beneficiary Designation: Change**.  The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.  The Executive’s Beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved.  The Executive shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time.  Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall becancelled.

          **4.3**          **Acknowledgment**.  No designation or change in designation of a 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**.  Despite any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate if Separation from Service is the result of Termination for Cause.

|   | 6.2.4             *Timing of Bank response*.  The Bank shall respond in writing to the   claimant within 60 days after receiving the request for review.  If the Bank determines that special   circumstances require additional time for processing the claim, the Bank may   extend the response period by an additional 60 days by notifying the claimant   in writing before the end of the initial 60-day period that an additional   period is required.  The notice of   extension must state the special circumstances and the date by which the Bank   expects to render its decision. |

**ARTICLE 7 MISCELLANEOUS**

          **7.1**          **Amendments and Termination**.  Subject to section 7.15 of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended solely by a written agreement signed by the Bank and by the Executive, and except for termination occurring under Article 5 this Agreement may be terminated solely by a written agreement signed by the Bank and by 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.

          **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 South 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 the 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 as Addendum A constitute the entire agreement between the Bank and the Executive concerning the subject matter.  No rights are granted to the Executive under this Agreement other than those specifically set forth.

          **7.10**          **Severability**.  If 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, to the following addresses or to such other address as either party may designate by like notice.  If to the Bank, notice shall be given to the board of directors, First Reliance Bank, 2170 West Palmetto Street, Florence, South Carolina 29501, or to such other or additional person or persons as the Bank shall have designated to the Executive in writing.  If to the Executive, notice shall be given to the Executive at the Executive’s address appearing on the Bank’s records, or to such other or additional person or persons as the Executive shall have designatedto the Bank in writing.

          **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 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 begranted to the Executive hereunder.  It is the intention of the Bank that the Executive not be forced to negotiate settlement of rights under this Agreement under threat of incurring expenses.  Accordingly, if after a Change in Control occurs it appears to the Executive that (*x*) the Bank has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, or (*y*) 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 the Executive’s 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 $500,000, whether suit be brought or not, and whether or not incurred in trial, bankruptcy, or appellate proceedings.  The Bank’s obligation to pay theExecutive’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.  Despite any contrary provision within this Agreement however, the Bank shall not be required to pay or reimburse the Executive’s legal expenses if doing so would violate section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1828(k)] and Rule 359.3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation [12 CFR 359.3].

          **7.14**          **Internal Revenue Code Section 280G Gross Up**.  (a)  *Additional payment to account for Excise Taxes*.  If as the result of a Change in Control the Executive becomes entitled to acceleration of benefits under this 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 (*x*) 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 (*y*) a payment equal to theamount necessary to provide the Excise Tax Payment net of all income, payroll and excise taxes.  Together, the additional amounts described in clauses (*x*) and (*y*) are referred to in this Agreement as the “Gross-Up Payment Amount.”

|   | 1)     | *Determination of “Parachute Payments” subject to the Excise Tax*:   any other payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive in   connection with a Change in Control or the Executive’s Separation from   Service (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 notconstitute (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, |

|   | 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 Separation from Service, 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 withholdingtaxes).

          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.  The Underpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall bepaid 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.  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 the Executive’s 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 upon a Change in Control.

**ARTICLE 8 ADMINISTRATION OF AGREEMENT**

          **8.1**          **Plan Administrator Duties**.  This Agreement shall be administered by a Plan Administrator consisting of the Bank’s board of directors or such committee or person(s) as the board shall appoint.  The Executive may be a member of the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretion and authority to (*x*) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Agreement and (*y*) decide or resolve any and all questions, including interpretations of this Agreement, as may arise in connection with the Agreement.

          **8.2**           **Agents**.  In the administration of 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 the Bank.

          **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 Separation from Service of the Executive and such other pertinent information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably require.

|           (1)             Calculations are   approximations.  Benefit calculations   are based on prior year-end accrual balances for illustrative purposes.  The accrual balance reflects payment at   the beginning of each month, beginning July 1, 2025.  The Executive attains Normal Retirement   Age on June 14, 2025.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

|           (2)             The Early   Termination and Disability benefits are calculated as the annual amount that   fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month   immediately before the month in which Separation from Service occurs,   amortizing that Accrual Balance over 15 years 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.  The Early Termination and   Disability benefits shown assume the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs   more than six months before the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age and that   the Early Termination benefit and the Disability benefit therefore become   payable beginning in the month after the Executiveattains the Normal   Retirement Age. |

          If there is a contradiction between the terms of the Agreement and Schedule A concerning the amount of a particular benefit due the Executive under sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 of the Agreement, then the amount of the benefit determined under 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.
