Article
I 

Establishment
and Purpose

 

NewBridge Bank (the “Company”)
hereby adopts the NewBridge Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), effective September 1, 2014.
The purpose of the Plan is to attract, retain and reward a select group of management and highly compensated employees by providing
Participants with nonqualified supplemental retirement benefits.

 

The Plan is intended to meet the
requirements of Code Section 409A, and shall be operated and interpreted consistent with that intent.

 

The Plan constitutes an unsecured
promise by a Participating Employer to pay benefits upon retirement to Participants in the Plan. Participants in the Plan shall
have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Participating Employer. Each Participating Employer shall be solely responsible
for payment of benefits to those Participants providing services to it.

 

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded
arrangement of deferred compensation for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the
meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Assets set aside by a Participating Employer for the payment of
Plan liabilities remain subject to the claims of such Employer’s general creditors until paid to the Participants.

Definitions

 

		2.1	Beneficiary. Beneficiary means
                                         the surviving natural person(s), estate, or trust that will receive any benefits to which
                                         the Participant is entitled following the Participant’s death. The Participant
                                         may designate his or her Beneficiary at the time and in the manner prescribed by the
                                         Plan Administrator. If no Beneficiary is designated, or if the designated Beneficiary
                                         does not survive the Participant, payment will be made to the Participant’s spouse,
                                         or if the Participant is not married at the time of death, the Participant’s estate.

In the event a Participant designates his or her spouse as Beneficiary, such designation
                                         shall become void as of the date his or her marriage is dissolved, unless the Participant
                                         designates his or her ex-spouse as a Beneficiary following dissolution of the marriage.

 

		2.2	Business Day. Business Day means
                                         each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.

		2.3	Cause. Cause means (i) the willful
                                         and continued failure of a Participant to perform substantially his or her duties with
                                         the Employer, other than any such failure resulting from a “disability” as
                                         defined in the Participant’s employment agreement, after a written demand for substantial
                                         performance is delivered to the Participant by the Company’s Board of Directors
                                         which specifically identifies the manner in which the Company’s Board of Directors
                                         believes that Participant has not substantially performed Participant’s duties;
                                         (ii) the willful engaging by Participant in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which
                                         is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Employer; (iii) continued insubordination
                                         with respect to directives of the Company’s Board of Directors after receipt of
                                         a written warning from the Company’s Board of Directors with respect thereto; or
                                         (iv) a willful act by Participant which constitutes a material breach of Participant’s
                                         fiduciary duty to the Employer which is intended by Participant to injure the reputation
                                         or business of the Employer.

 

For purposes of this Section
2.3, no act or failure to act on the part of Participant shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted
to be done, by Participant in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Participant’s action or omission was in the best
interests of the Employer. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the
Company’s or its parent company’s Board of Directors or based upon the advice of counsel for the Employer shall be
conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Participant in good faith and in the best interests of the Employer
and to not constitute insubordination.

NewBridge Bank
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan 

 

An Employee who is absent
from work due to military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence shall incur a Separation from Service on the
first date immediately following the later of: (i) the six month anniversary of the commencement of the leave, or (ii) the expiration
of the Employee’s right, if any, to reemployment under statute or contract. Notwithstanding the preceding, however, an Employee
who is absent from work due to a physical or mental impairment that is expected to result in death or last for a continuous period
of at least six months and that prevents the Employee from performing the duties of his position of employment or a similar position
shall incur a Separation from Service on the first date immediately following the 29-month anniversary of the commencement of
the leave.

 

For purposes of determining
whether a Separation from Service has occurred, the Employer means the Employer as defined in Section 2.12 of the Plan, except
that in applying Code Sections 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) for purposes of Code Section 414(b), and in applying Treasury Regulation
Section 1.414(c)-2 for purposes of Code Section 414(c), “at least 50 percent” shall be used instead of “at least
80 percent” each place it appears in those sections.

 

The Committee specifically
reserves the right to determine whether a sale or other disposition of substantial assets to an unrelated party constitutes a
Separation from Service with respect to a Participant providing services to the seller immediately prior to the transaction and
providing services to the buyer after the transaction. Such determination shall be made in accordance with the requirements of
Code Section 409A.

                                         is a “key employee” of an Employer, any stock of which is actively traded
                                         on an established securities market or otherwise.

 

An Employee is a key employee
if he or she meets the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii), or (iii) (applied in accordance with applicable regulations
thereunder and without regard to Code Section 416(i)(5)) at any time during the 12-month period ending on the Specified Employee
Identification Date.

 

Such Employee shall be
treated as a key employee for the entire 12-month period beginning on the Specified Employee Effective Date.

 

For purposes of determining
whether an Employee is a Specified Employee, the compensation of the Employee shall be determined in accordance with the definition
of compensation provided under Treas. Reg. Section 1.415(c)-2(d)(3) (wages within the meaning of Code section 3401(a) for purposes
of income tax withholding at the source, plus amounts excludible from gross income under section 125(a), 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3),
402(h)(1)(B), 402(k) or 457(b), without regard to rules that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location
of the employment or the services performed); provided, however, that, with respect to a nonresident alien who is not a Participant
in the Plan, compensation shall not include compensation that is not includible in the gross income of the Employee under Code
Sections 872, 893, 894, 911, 931 and 933, provided such compensation is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade
or business within the United States.

Notwithstanding anything
in this paragraph to the contrary: (i) if a different definition of compensation has been designated by the Company with respect
to another nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which a key employee participates, the definition of compensation shall
be the definition provided in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i)(2), and (ii) the Company may through action that is legally binding
with respect to all nonqualified deferred compensation plans maintained by the Company, elect to use a different definition of
compensation.

 

In the event of corporate
transactions described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i)6), the identification of Specified Employees shall be determined in
accordance with the default rules described therein, unless the Employer elects to utilize the available alternative methodology
through designations made within the timeframes specified therein.

Benefits

 

		4.1	Entitlement to Benefits. A Participant
                                         shall be entitled to receive his or her vested Retirement Benefit upon the later of the
                                         Participant’s (i) attainment of Retirement Age or (ii) Separation from Service.
                                         The Retirement Benefit is not actuarially adjusted to reflect a Separation from Service
                                         occurring after the Participant’s Retirement Age.

		4.2	Vesting. A Participant shall
                                         be vested in his or her Retirement Benefit based on the vesting schedule set forth in
                                         his or her Participation Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Participation
                                         Agreement, a Participant shall be 100% vested in his or her Retirement Benefit if, while
                                         actively employed, (i) he or she dies, or (ii) he or she is Separated from Service without
                                         Cause or due to Good Reason within one year of the date a Change in Control occurs. Further,
                                         and notwithstanding the preceding or anything to the contrary in the Participation Agreement,
                                         a Participant who is Separated from Service for Cause shall forfeit any vested interest
                                         he or she may have accrued in his or her Retirement Benefit and shall not be entitled
                                         to any payments from the Plan.

 

		4.3	Payment of Vested Retirement Benefit.
                                         A Participant’s vested Retirement Benefit is payable annually for a period of ten
                                         years commencing on the first day of the month following the date specified in Section
                                         4.1, and on each anniversary thereof for the duration of the payment period; provided,
                                         however, that payment to a Participant who is a Specified Employee will commence no earlier
                                         than the first day of the seventh month following Separation from Service to the extent
                                         required by Code Section 409A, with subsequent installments paid on the anniversary of
                                         the first payment date.

 

		4.4	Payment Upon a Change in Control.
                                         Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article IV, if a Participant Separates
                                         from Service within one year following a Change in Control, the Participant shall receive
                                         the Present Value of his or her unpaid vested Retirement Benefit in a single lump sum
                                         within 90 days of the Separation from Service or, with respect to a Participant who is
                                         a Specified Employee, in the seventh month following his or her Separation from Service.
                                         A Participant who has Separated from Service prior to a Change in Control shall receive
                                         the Present Value of his or her remaining vested Retirement Benefit in a single lump
                                         sum within 90 days of the Change in Control.

 

		4.5	Payment Upon Death. In the event
                                         of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Beneficiary will receive a
                                         lump sum payment equal to the Present Value of his or her designated share of the remaining
                                         unpaid vested Retirement Benefit on the first day of the month following the Participant’s
                                         death.

 

		4.6	Acceleration of or Delay in Payments.
                                         The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to accelerate the time
                                         or form of payment of a benefit owed to the Participant hereunder, provided such acceleration
                                         is permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). The Committee may also, in its
                                         sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of a benefit owed to the Participant
                                         hereunder, to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(7). If an accelerated
                                         or delayed payment is made under this Section 4.6, the vested Retirement Benefit of the
                                         Participant shall be actuarially adjusted using the interest rate assumptions specified
                                         for purposes of determining Present Values; provided, however that a delayed payment
                                         shall not result in an actuarial adjustment unless the delay extends payment by more
                                         than one calendar year.

Administration

 

		5.1	Plan Administration. This Plan
                                         shall be administered by the Committee which shall have discretionary authority to make,
                                         amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration
                                         of this Plan and to utilize its discretion to decide or resolve any and all questions,
                                         including but not limited to eligibility for benefits and interpretations of this Plan
                                         and its terms, as may arise in connection with the Plan. Claims for benefits shall be
                                         filed with the Committee and resolved in accordance with the claims procedures in Article
                                         VIII.

 

		5.2	Administration Upon Change in Control.
                                         Upon a Change in Control, the Committee, as constituted immediately prior to such
                                         Change in Control, shall continue to act as the Committee. The individual who was the
                                         Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or if such person is unable or unwilling to act,
                                         the next highest ranking officer) prior to the Change in Control shall have the authority
                                         (but shall not be obligated) to appoint an independent third party to act as the Committee.

 

Upon such Change in Control,
the Company may not remove the Committee, unless 2/3rds of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and a majority
of Participants and Beneficiaries with rights to a Retirement or Survivor’s Benefit consent to the removal and replacement
of the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Committee nor the officer described above shall have authority to
direct investment of trust assets under any rabbi trust described in Section 7.2.

 

The Participating Employer
shall, with respect to the Committee identified under this Section: (i) pay all reasonable expenses and fees of the Committee,
(ii) indemnify the Committee (including individuals serving as Committee members) against any costs, expenses and liabilities
including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses arising in connection with the performance of the Committee’s
duties hereunder, except with respect to matters resulting from the Committee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,
and (iii) supply full and timely information to the Committee on all matters related to the Plan, any rabbi trust, Participants,
Beneficiaries, Retirement Benefits and Survivor’s Benefits as the Committee may reasonably require.

 

		5.3	Withholding. The Participating
                                         Employer shall have the right to withhold from any payment due under the Plan (or with
                                         respect to any amounts credited to the Plan) any taxes required by law to be withheld
                                         in respect of such payment (or credit). To the extent withholdings are required prior
                                         to the time when payments are due under the Plan, the Participating Employer may withhold
                                         from other compensation payable to the Participant.

		5.4	Indemnification. The Participating
                                         Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless each employee, officer, director, agent or
                                         organization, to whom or to which are delegated duties, responsibilities, and authority
                                         under the Plan or otherwise with respect to administration of the Plan, including, without
                                         limitation, the Committee and its agents, against all claims, liabilities, fines and
                                         penalties, and all expenses reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him or it (including
                                         but not limited to reasonable attorney fees) which arise as a result of his or its actions
                                         or failure to act in connection with the operation and administration of the Plan to
                                         the extent lawfully allowable and to the extent that such claim, liability, fine, penalty,
                                         or expense is not paid for by liability insurance purchased or paid for by the Participating
                                         Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participating Employer shall not indemnify
                                         any person or organization if his or its actions or failure to act are due to gross negligence
                                         or willful misconduct or for any such amount incurred through any settlement or compromise
                                         of any action unless the Participating Employer consents in writing to such settlement
                                         or compromise.

 

		5.5	Delegation of Authority. In the
                                         administration of this Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and
                                         delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit, and may from time to time
                                         consult with legal counsel who shall be legal counsel to the Company.

 

		5.6	Binding Decisions or Actions.
                                         The decision or action of the Committee in respect of any question arising out of or
                                         in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and
                                         the rules and regulations thereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all
                                         persons having any interest in the Plan.

Amendment and
Termination

 

		6.1	Amendment and Termination. The
                                         Company may at any time and from time to time amend the Plan or may terminate the Plan
                                         as provided in this Article VI. Each Participating Employer may also terminate its participation
                                         in the Plan.

 

		6.2	Amendments. The Company, by action
                                         taken by its Board of Directors, may amend the Plan at any time and for any reason, provided
                                         that any such amendment shall not reduce the vested Retirement Benefit of any Participant
                                         determined as of the date of any such amendment or restatement (as if the Participant
                                         had incurred a voluntary Separation from Service on such date). The Board of Directors
                                         of the Company may delegate to the Committee the authority to amend the Plan without
                                         the consent of the Board of Directors for the purpose of: (i) conforming the Plan to
                                         the requirements of law; (ii) facilitating the administration of the Plan; (iii) clarifying
                                         provisions based on the Committee’s interpretation of the document; and (iv) making
                                         such other amendments as the Board of Directors may authorize. Amendments adopted pursuant
                                         to this paragraph shall be deemed to amend all Participation Agreements in effect at
                                         the time of such amendment, subject to the restrictions set forth above.

A Participation Agreement
may be amended by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized representative of the Committee and the Participant who is
a party to such agreement. Unless authorized by an appropriate delegation of authority, such representative may not agree to increase
the amount of the Retirement Benefit without approval by the Board of Directors.

 

The Committee may amend the Plan or any Participation Agreement at any time and without regard to any restrictions under this
Section 6.2, to the extent such amendment is required to comply with applicable Company laws, rules and regulations.

 

		6.3	Termination.
The Company, by action taken by its Board of Directors, may terminate the Plan. Upon termination, each Participating Employer
will pay its Participants or their Beneficiaries the Present Value of their benefits, to the extent and in accordance with Treas.
Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). For purposes of valuing benefits payable following termination, the value of the Retirement Benefit,
including the benefit formula and the Years of Service credited to a Participant, will be determined as of the effective date
of termination and will not be increased or decreased following such date.

                                                                                 

                                                                                The Company and a Participant may terminate a Participation Agreement by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized representative of the Committee and the Participant. Termination of a Participation Agreement may not result in an acceleration of Retirement Benefits. Termination may not occur in consideration of another form of compensation or substituted compensation unless such compensation is paid at the time and manner specified in the Plan and the Participation Agreement as in effect on the day prior to termination. Termination of a Participation Agreement shall have no effect on the continuation of the Plan or the Participation Agreements of other Participants.

                                                                                 

                                                                                The Company may terminate a Participation Agreement at any time and without regard to any restrictions under this Section 6.3, to the extent the Board of Directors determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such termination is required in order to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

		6.4	Taxation Under Code Section 409A.
                                         The Plan is intended to constitute a plan of deferred compensation that meets the requirements
                                         for deferral of income taxation under Code Section 409A. The Committee, pursuant to its
                                         authority to interpret the Plan, may sever from the Plan or any Participation Agreement
                                         any provision or exercise of a right that otherwise would result in a violation of Code
                                         Section 409A.

VII 

Informal Funding

 

		7.1	General Assets. Obligations established
                                         under the terms of the Plan may be satisfied from the general funds of the Participating
                                         Employers, or a trust described in this Article VII. No Participant or Beneficiary shall
                                         have any right, title or interest whatever in assets of the Participating Employers.
                                         Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall
                                         create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between
                                         the Participating Employers and any Employee or Beneficiary. To the extent that any person
                                         acquires a right to receive payments hereunder, such rights are no greater than the right
                                         of an unsecured general creditor of the Participating Employer.

 

		7.2	Rabbi Trust. A Participating
                                         Employer may, in its sole discretion, establish a grantor trust, commonly known as a
                                         rabbi trust, as a vehicle for accumulating assets to pay benefits under the Plan. Payments
                                         under the Plan may be paid from the general assets of the Participating Employer or from
                                         the assets of any such rabbi trust. Payment from any such source shall reduce the obligation
                                         owed to the Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan.

 

If a rabbi trust is in
existence upon the occurrence of a “change in control”, as defined in such trust, the Participating Employer shall,
upon such change in control, and on each anniversary of the change in control, contribute in cash or liquid securities such amounts
as are necessary so that the value of assets after making the contributions exceed the Present Value of all Retirement Benefits
by 125%.

Claims

 

		8.1	Filing a Claim. Any controversy
                                         or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan shall be filed in writing with the Committee
                                         which shall make all determinations concerning such claim. Any claim filed with the Committee
                                         and any decision by the Committee denying such claim shall be in
writing and shall be delivered to the Participant or Beneficiary filing the claim (the “Claimant”).

 

		(a)	In General. Notice of a denial
                                         of benefits will be provided within 90 days of the Committee’s receipt of the Claimant's
                                         claim for benefits. If the Committee determines that it needs additional time to review
                                         the claim, the Committee will provide the Claimant with a notice of the extension before
                                         the end of the initial 90-day period. The extension will not be more than 90 days from
                                         the end of the initial 90-day period and the notice of extension will explain the special
                                         circumstances that require the extension and the date by which the Committee expects
                                         to make a decision.

 

		(b)	Contents of Notice. If a
                                         claim for benefits is completely or partially denied, notice of such denial shall be
                                         in writing and shall set forth the reasons for denial in plain language. The notice shall:
                                         (i) cite the pertinent provisions of the Plan document, and (ii) explain, where appropriate,
                                         how the Claimant can perfect the claim, including a description of any additional material
                                         or information necessary to complete the claim and why such material or information is
                                         necessary. The claim denial also shall include an explanation of the claims review procedures
                                         and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s
                                         right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse decision
                                         on review.

		8.2	Appeal of Denied Claims. A Claimant
                                         whose claim has been completely or partially denied shall be entitled to appeal the claim
                                         denial by filing a written appeal with a committee designated to hear such appeals (the
                                         “Appeals Committee”). A Claimant who timely requests a review of the denied
                                         claim (or his or her authorized representative) may review, upon request and free of
                                         charge, copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the denial
                                         and may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relevant to
                                         the claim to the Appeals Committee. All written comments, documents, records, and other
                                         information shall be considered “relevant” if the information: (i) was relied
                                         upon in making a benefits determination, (ii) was submitted, considered or generated
                                         in the course of making a benefits decision regardless of whether it was relied upon
                                         to make the decision, or (iii) demonstrates compliance with administrative processes
                                         and safeguards established for making benefit decisions. The Appeals Committee may, in
                                         its sole discretion and if it deems appropriate or necessary, decide to hold a hearing
                                         with respect to the claim appeal.

 

		(a)	In General. Appeal
                                         of a denied benefits claim must be filed in writing with the Appeals Committee no later
                                         than 60 days after receipt of the written notification of such claim denial. The Appeals
                                         Committee shall make its decision regarding the merits of the denied claim within 60
                                         days following receipt of the appeal (or within 120 days after such receipt, in a case
                                         where there are special circumstances requiring extension of time for reviewing the appealed
                                         claim). If an extension of time for reviewing the appeal is required because of special
                                         circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior
                                         to the commencement of the extension.
The notice will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Appeals Committee
expects to render the determination on review. The review will take into account comments, documents, records and other information
submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the
initial benefit determination.

 

		(b)	Contents of Notice. If a
                                         benefits claim is completely or partially denied on review, notice of such denial shall
                                         be in writing and shall set forth the reasons for denial in plain language. The decision
                                         on review shall set forth: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (ii) specific
                                         references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a statement
                                         that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable
                                         access to and copies of all documents, records, or other information relevant (as defined
                                         above) to the Claimant’s claim, and (iv) a statement describing any voluntary appeal
                                         procedures offered by the plan and a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring
                                         an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

		8.3	Claims Appeals Upon Change in Control.
                                         Upon a Change in Control, the Appeals Committee, as constituted immediately prior to
                                         such Change in Control, shall continue to act as the Appeals Committee. Upon such Change
                                         in Control, the Company may not remove any member of the Appeals Committee, but may replace
                                         resigning members if 2/3rds of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company and
                                         a majority of Participants and Beneficiaries with Retirement and Survivor’s Benefits
                                         consent to the replacement.

 

The Appeals Committee
shall have the exclusive authority at the appeals stage to interpret the terms of the Plan and resolve appeals under the Claims
Procedure.

 

Each Participating Employer
shall, with respect to the Committee identified under this Section: (i) pay its proportionate share of all reasonable expenses
and fees of the Appeals Committee, (ii) indemnify the Appeals Committee (including individual committee members) against any costs,
expenses and liabilities including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses arising in connection with the performance
of the Appeals Committee hereunder, except with respect to matters resulting from the Appeals Committee’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct, and (iii) supply full and timely information to the Appeals Committee on all matters related to the Plan,
any rabbi trust, Participants, Beneficiaries and Retirement and Survivor’s Benefits as the Appeals Committee may reasonably
require.

 

		8.4	Legal Action. A Claimant may
                                         not bring any legal action, including commencement of any arbitration, relating to a
                                         claim for benefits under the Plan unless and until the Claimant has followed the claims
                                         procedures under the Plan and exhausted his or her administrative remedies under such
                                         claims procedures. If a Participant or Beneficiary prevails in a legal proceeding brought
                                         under the Plan to enforce the rights of such Participant or any other similarly situated
                                         Participant or Beneficiary, in whole or in part, the Participating Employer shall reimburse
                                         such Participant or Beneficiary for all legal costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees
                                         and such other liabilities incurred as a result of such proceedings. If the legal proceeding
                                         is brought in connection with a Change in Control, or a “change in control”
                                         as defined in a rabbi trust described in Section 7.2, the Participant or Beneficiary
                                         may file a claim directly with the trustee for reimbursement of such costs, expenses
                                         and fees. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount of the claim shall be treated
                                         as if it were an addition to the Participant’s Retirement Benefit and will be included
                                         in determining the Participating Employer’s trust funding obligation under Section
                                         7.2.

 

		8.5	Discretion of Appeals Committee.
                                         All interpretations, determinations and decisions of the Appeals Committee with respect
                                         to any claim shall be made in its sole discretion, and shall be final and conclusive.

 

		8.6	Arbitration.

 

		(a)	Prior to Change in Control.
                                         If, prior to a Change in Control, any claim or controversy between a Participating Employer
                                         and a Participant or Beneficiary is not resolved through the claims procedure set forth
                                         in Article VIII, such claim shall be submitted to and resolved exclusively by expedited
                                         binding arbitration by a single arbitrator. Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance
                                         with the following procedures:

    	Page 13 of 17

    	 

    

 

NewBridge Bank
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan 

 

The complaining party shall
promptly send written notice to the other party identifying the matter in dispute and the proposed remedy. Following the giving
of such notice, the parties shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the matter. In the event the parties are unable to
resolve the matter within 21 days, the parties shall meet and attempt in good faith to select a single arbitrator acceptable to
both parties. If a single arbitrator is not selected by mutual consent within ten Business Days following the giving of the written
notice of dispute, an arbitrator shall be selected from a list of nine persons each of whom shall be an attorney who is either
engaged in the active practice of law or recognized arbitrator and who, in either event, is experienced in serving as an arbitrator
in disputes between employers and employees, which list shall be provided by the main office of either the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) or the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. If, within three Business Days of the parties’
receipt of such list, the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator from the list, then the parties shall each strike names
alternatively from the list, with the first to strike being determined by the flip of a coin. After each party has had four strikes,
the remaining name on the list shall be the arbitrator. If such person is unable to serve for any reason, the parties shall repeat
this process until an arbitrator is selected.

 

Unless the parties agree
otherwise, within 60 days of the selection of the arbitrator, a hearing shall be conducted before such arbitrator at a time and
a place agreed upon by the parties. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon the time or place of the arbitration, the
time and place shall be designated by the arbitrator after consultation with the parties. Within 30 days of the conclusion of
the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall issue an award, accompanied by a written decision explaining the basis for the arbitrator’s
award.

 

In any arbitration hereunder,
the Participating Employer shall pay all administrative fees of the arbitration and all fees of the arbitrator, except that the
Participant or Beneficiary may, if he/she/it wishes, pay up to one-half of those amounts. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’
fees, costs, and expenses, unless the arbitrator orders otherwise. The prevailing party in such arbitration, as determined by
the arbitrator, and in any enforcement or other court proceedings, shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to reimbursement
from the other party for all of the prevailing party’s costs (including but not limited to the arbitrator’s compensation),
expenses, and attorneys’ fees. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add to or to modify this Plan, shall apply all
applicable law, and shall have no lesser and no greater remedial authority than would a court of law resolving the same claim
or controversy. The arbitrator shall, upon an appropriate motion, dismiss any claim without an evidentiary hearing if the party
bringing the motion establishes that it would be entitled to summary judgment if the matter had been pursued in court litigation.

The parties shall be entitled
to discovery as follows: Each party may take no more than three depositions. The Participating Employer may depose the Participant
or Beneficiary plus two other witnesses, and the Participant or Beneficiary may depose the Participating Employer, pursuant to
Rule 30(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, plus two other witnesses. Each party may make such reasonable document
discovery requests as are allowed in the discretion of the arbitrator.

 

The decision of the arbitrator
shall be final, binding, and non-appealable, and may be enforced as a final judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

This arbitration provision
of the Plan shall extend to claims against any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of each party, and, when acting within such capacity,
any officer, director, shareholder, Participant, Beneficiary, or agent of any party, or of any of the above, and shall apply as
well to claims arising out of state and federal statutes and local ordinances as well as to claims arising under the common law
or under this Plan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and unless otherwise agreed between the parties, either party may apply to a court for provisional relief, including a temporary
restraining order or preliminary injunction, on the ground that the arbitration award to which the applicant may be entitled may
be rendered ineffectual without provisional relief.

 

Any arbitration hereunder
shall be conducted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act: provided, however, that, in the event of any inconsistency
between the rules and procedures of the Act and the terms of this Plan, the terms of this Plan shall prevail.

 

If any of the provisions
of this Section 8.6(a) are determined to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, in the whole part, such determination shall not
affect the validity of the remainder of this section and this section shall be reformed to the extent necessary to carry out its
provisions to the greatest extent possible and to insure that the resolution of all conflicts between the parties, including those
arising out of statutory claims, shall be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration. If a court should find that the provisions
of this Section 8.6(a) are not absolutely binding, then the parties intend any arbitration decision and award to be fully admissible
in evidence in any subsequent action, given great weight by any finder of fact and treated as determinative to the maximum extent
permitted by law.

 

The parties do not agree
to arbitrate any putative class action or any other representative action. The parties agree to arbitrate only the claims(s) of
a single Participant or Beneficiary.

		(b)	Upon Change in Control. If,
                                         upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, any dispute, controversy or claim arises
                                         between a Participant or Beneficiary and the Participating Employer out of or relating
                                         to or concerning the provisions of the Plan, such dispute, controversy or claim shall
                                         be finally settled by a court of competent jurisdiction which, notwithstanding any other
                                         provision of the Plan, shall apply a de novo standard of review to any determination
                                         made by the Company or its Board of Directors, a Participating Employer, the Committee,
                                         or the Appeals Committee.

IX 

General Provisions

 

		9.1	Assignment. No interest of any
                                         Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan and no benefit payable hereunder shall be
                                         assigned as security for a loan, and any such purported assignment shall be null, void
                                         and of no effect, nor shall any such interest or any such benefit be subject in any manner,
                                         either voluntarily or involuntarily, to anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance
                                         by or through any Participant or Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
                                         herein, however, the Committee has the discretion to make payments to an alternate payee
                                         in accordance with the terms of a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section
                                         414(p)(1)(B)).

                                         

                                         The Company may assign any or all of its liabilities under this Plan in connection with
                                         any restructuring, recapitalization, sale of assets or other similar transactions affecting
                                         a Participating Employer without the consent of the Participant.

 

		9.2	No Legal or Equitable Rights or Interest.
                                         No Participant or other person shall have any legal or equitable rights or interest in
                                         this Plan that are not expressly granted in this Plan. Participation in this Plan does
                                         not give any person any right to be retained in the service of the Participating Employer.

Any notice or filing required
or permitted to be given to a Participant under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing or hand-delivered, or sent by mail
to the last known address of the Participant.

 

		9.5	Headings. The headings of Sections
                                         are included solely for convenience of reference, and if there is any conflict between
                                         such headings and the text of this Plan, the text shall control.

 

		9.6	Invalid or Unenforceable Provisions.
                                         If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity
                                         or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof and the Committee may
                                         elect in its sole discretion to construe such invalid or unenforceable provisions in
                                         a manner that conforms to applicable law or as if such provisions, to the extent invalid

		9.7	Lost Participants or Beneficiaries.
                                         Any Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to a benefit from the Plan has the duty
                                         to keep the Committee advised of his or her current mailing address. If benefit payments
                                         are returned to the Plan or are not presented for payment after a reasonable amount of
                                         time, the Committee shall presume that the payee is missing. The Committee, after making
                                         such efforts as in its discretion it deems reasonable and appropriate to locate the payee,
                                         shall stop payment on any uncashed checks and may discontinue making future payments
                                         until contact with the payee is restored.

 

		9.8	Facility of Payment to a Minor.
                                         If a distribution is to be made to a minor, or to a person who is otherwise incompetent,
                                         then the Committee may, in its discretion, make such distribution: (i) to the legal guardian,
                                         or if none, to a parent of a minor payee with whom the payee maintains his or her residence,
                                         or (ii) to the conservator or committee or, if none, to the person having custody of
                                         an incompetent payee. Any such distribution shall fully discharge the Committee, the
                                         Company, and the Plan from further liability on account thereof.

 

		9.9	Governing Law. To the extent
                                         not preempted by ERISA, the laws of the State of North Carolina shall govern the construction
                                         and administration of the Plan.
