 The Company agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Secured Promissory Note until

applicable law; any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited to reduce principal hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Security Agreement (as defined below), all payments received by World Focus hereunder will be
applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to accrued but unpaid interest and the balance to principal (in each case, pro rata to each Noteholder according to the interests of each Noteholder in and to the principal outstanding at such time
under this Secured Promissory Note). 
 The Company shall pay interest on the amount of any principal, interest or other amount payable
hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to two percent (2%) per annum above the rate per annum of interest

interest on the date principal is paid in full hereunder. The Company shall have the option to pay such interest in cash or to cause such interest to be capitalized on any such Interest Payment Date and added to the principal amount of this Secured
Promissory Note, which additional amount shall bear interest and otherwise be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Secured Promissory Note. 
  

 2 

 World Focus shall have the right at any time to request that any or all capitalized interest added to the
principal amount of this Secured Promissory Note be evidenced by a separate promissory note or notes in substantially the form of this Secured Promissory Note. 
 If any day on which a payment is due pursuant to the terms of this Secured Promissory Note is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next Business Day following such date and interest shall accrue on the
accrued and unpaid interest during such extension of time; provided, that any such interest accruing for such extension of time shall be due and payable on the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 This Secured Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of
such prepayment on the portion prepaid. All prepayments made shall be recorded by World Focus and, prior to any transfer hereof, indorsed on the grid attached as Annex I hereto, which is part of this Secured Promissory Note; provided, that
the failure of World Focus to make any such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Company under this Secured Promissory Note. 
 This Secured Promissory Note will be entitled to the benefits of and will be secured by the pledge, liens, security, title, rights and security interests granted under (a) the General Security Agreement, dated as of January 26,

“Guaranty”), as each of the same may be amended, supplemented or renewed from time to time, are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.” 
 So long as any Obligation under this Secured Promissory Note or any other Loan Document shall remain unpaid, the Company will comply with the affirmative
and negative covenants set forth in Annex II to this Secured Promissory Note in accordance with the terms of those covenants.

the terms of the Subordination Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in Annex II hereto), (i) World Focus, may by notice to the Company, declare this Secured Promissory Note, all interest
thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon this Secured Promissory Note, all such interest and all such other amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest

secures the Obligations, from time to time and in such order as World Focuus shall determine.

to exercise such powers and discretion under this Secured Promissory Note and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As
to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of this Secured Promissory Note), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be
required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Noteholders, in the case of the Collateral Trustee, and such instructions shall be binding upon all
Noteholder Parties; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. 
 Neither any Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel

created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any
notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 
 No amendment, waiver, modification or supplement of any provision of this Secured Promissory Note, nor consent to any departure by the Company therefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing signed by the Company and accepted and agreed to by the Required Lenders and then such amendment, waiver, modification, supplement or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

effective, valid and enforceable under applicable law. If and to the extent that any such provision of this Secured Promissory Note shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable any other provisions hereof, and any determination that the application of any provision hereof to any person or under any circumstance is illegal and unenforceable shall not affect the legality, validity and enforceability of
such provision as it may be applied to any other person or in any other circumstance. All rights and remedies provided in this Secured Promissory Note, the Guarantee, the Security Agreement or any law shall be available to the World Focus and shall
be cumulative. 
 The Company hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, and protest, notice of demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this
Secured Promissory Note, and all other notices or demands of any kind in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement hereof, and hereby consents to any delays, extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications
that may be granted or consented to by the Noteholders with respect to the time of payment or any other provision hereof or of the Security Agreement. 
 No course of dealing between the Company and the World Focus or any other Noteholder or Noteholder Party and no delay or failure in exercising any rights hereunder in respect thereof shall operate as a waiver of any
rights of any Noteholder Party. 
 This Secured Promissory Note, and the indebtedness of the Company to the World Focus evidenced hereby,
shall not be subject to any set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, each of which is hereby expressly waived by the Company with respect to this Secured Promissory Note and such indebtedness.

to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

business as currently conducted, and such Company is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire right, title and interest in, under and to, free and clear of any liens, charges and encumbrances, other than any Intellectual Property listed on
Schedule I that is purported to be owned by each of the Companies and Permitted Encumbrances. 

  

	 	(e)	To the knowledge of each of the Companies, no holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority which would limit, cancel or question the validity of, or
any Company’s rights in, any Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule I in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the business or the property of any Company. 

  

	 	(f)	Each Company has the legal right and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its terms. 

  

	 	(g)	The Companies shall give Agent written notice (with reasonable detail) on a quarterly basis in the event any of the following occur:

	 	ii.	The Companies’ (or any of them) becoming entitled to the benefit of any registered Intellectual Property whether as licensee or licensor which is material to the business,

ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property or the Companies’ right to register the same or to own and maintain the same. 

  

	 	(h)	If any Company amends its name, such Company shall provide copies of such amendment documentation to Agent and shall re-register such Company’s Intellectual Property with the
appropriate Governmental Authority and shall execute and deliver such agreements or documentation as Agent shall request to maintain a perfected first priority security interest in such Intellectual Property, to the extent such security interest can

	COPYRIGHT APPLICATIONS:    NoneEmployment Agreement between SunCoast Bank and John S. Wilks.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is hereby entered into
as of the 16th day of March, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), between SunCoast Bank, a Florida state-chartered bank (“SunCoast”) (and Cadence Bank, N.A. (“Cadence”) to the extent it is the surviving entity in the
Merger described below) (SunCoast and Cadence, as the surviving entity of the contemplated Merger, collectively and as applicable, the “Bank”) and John S. Wilks (the “Employee”). 
 WHEREAS, the Bank is engaged in the business of commercial banking; 
 WHEREAS, the Employee is experienced in commercial banking; 
 WHEREAS, the Employee has
executed a Termination and Release Agreement contemporaneously herewith; 
 WHEREAS, the Bank desires to employ the Employee and the
Employee desires to accept employment on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and 
 WHEREAS, SunCoast Bancorp, Inc. and NBC
Capital Corporation have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 16, 2006, whereby, among other things, SunCoast will be merged with and into Cadence, and Cadence will be the surviving entity (the “Merger”).

 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby
agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES 

  

	 	1.1	Employment. The Bank agrees to employ the Employee, and the Employee agrees to be employed by the Bank, for the Employment Term (as defined herein), subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein. 

  

	 	1.2	Office. The Employee shall have the title of Senior Vice President of the Bank, operations, or any other title as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Bank or
its designee (“Board”). The Employee shall report generally to the President of the Bank or such other persons as designated by the Board. 

  

	 	1.3	Duties. Employee agrees to perform diligently and to the best of his ability the duties and services appertaining to any such office and such other duties as may be assigned
to him from time to time by the Board. The Employee’s duties and responsibilities shall include such duties as are the type and nature normally assigned to similar senior officers of a financial institution of the size, type and stature of the
Bank. Specifically, the Employee shall assume administrative and financial responsibilities as assigned by the Board. 

	 	1.4	Extent of Services. The Employee shall devote the Employee’s entire time and efforts to the Bank’s business and affairs, and shall not engage in any other business
activity for remuneration or compensation without the Bank’s prior written consent. This restriction is not intended to apply to the Employee’s supervision of any investments which may currently exist or be entered into, so long as these
investments do not interfere with the Employee’s services to be rendered or cause a breach of the restrictions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement. 

  

	 	2.	TERM AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

  

	 	2.1	Term. Subject to the terms of Sections 2.2, the initial term shall commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement and shall continue for two years (“Initial
Term”), and thereafter, at the election of the Bank and the Employee, renew for successive one year terms (such Initial Term and any renewal thereof being referred to herein as the “Employment Term”) provided, however, either party
may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause as defined herein, at the expiration of the Initial Term or any one year renewal term thereafter, upon written notice given to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration
of any such initial or renewal term hereunder. In connection with the termination by the Bank or Employee at the expiration of the initial term or renewal term and if the Bank or Employee fail to enter into a new employment agreement, the Bank
hereby agrees to pay to Employee three months salary in addition to such notice period and Employee hereby agrees to continue to be bound and subject to Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement for one year following the date of such separation. In the
event of the resignation of Employee after the first year of the Initial Term (although not contractually permitted), the Bank hereby agrees to pay Employee three months salary on a monthly basis after the effective date of such resignation and the
Employee hereby agrees to be bound and subject to the Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement. 

  

	 	2.2	Termination by the Bank. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, the Bank shall have the right to terminate the employment of Employee under this Agreement prior
to the end of the Employment Term for any of the following reasons and subject to the following conditions: 

  

	 	2.2.1	Termination for Cause. The Bank shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for “cause.” The term “cause” shall mean:

  

	 	(a)	A material breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Employee, including without limitation, failure by the Employee to perform his duties and responsibilities in the manner and
to the extent required under this Agreement 

  

 2 

	 	  	and/or failure to abide by the covenants set forth in Sections 4 and 5 herein, which remains uncured after the expiration of thirty (30) days following the delivery of written
notice of such breach to the Employee by the Bank. Such notice shall (i) specifically identify the duties that the Board believes the Employee has failed to perform and (ii) state the facts upon which the Board made such determination;

  

	 	(b)	Conduct by the Employee that amounts to fraud, dishonesty or willful misconduct; 

  

	 	(c)	Arrest for, charged in relation to (by criminal information, indictment or otherwise), or conviction of the Employee during the term of this Agreement of a felony;

  

	 	(d)	Conduct by the Employee that amounts to gross and willful insubordination or inattention to his duties and responsibilities hereunder; or 

  

	 	(e)	Conduct by the Employee that results in removal from his position as an officer or executive of the Bank pursuant to a written order by any regulatory agency with authority or
jurisdiction over the Bank. 

 The Bank reserves the right to put Employee on paid or unpaid administrative leave pending an investigation into
allegations of the conduct described above. Otherwise, termination of the Employee’s employment under this Section 2.2.1 shall be deemed to occur immediately upon the Bank giving Employee written notice of termination. 
 2.2.2 Termination Without Cause. The Bank is granted an option to terminate the Employee’s employment, without cause, upon 30 days prior
written notice to the Employee. In the event of a termination under this Section 2.2.2, the Bank shall be required to pay the Employee a severance payment of twice the Employee’s Salary, as defined in Section 3.1 herein, and Employee
continues to be bound and subject to Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement. 
 2.3 Termination by Mutual Agreement. This Agreement can be
terminated at any time upon mutual, written agreement of the parties. 
 2.4 Termination by Death. This Agreement will automatically
terminate upon the death of the Employee. 
 2.5 Change of Control. A “Change of Control” means any of the following events:

  

	 	(a)	the acquisition by any person or persons acting in concert of the then outstanding voting securities of the Bank or its parent bank or holding company (“Parent Bank”), if,
after the transaction, the acquiring person (or persons) owns, controls or holds with power to vote thirty-five percent (35%) or more of any class of voting securities of the Bank or Parent Bank, as the case may be; or 

 

 3 

	 	(b)	a reorganization, merger or consolidation, with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of the Bank or Parent Bank immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company’s then outstanding voting
securities; or 

  

	 	(c)	the sale, transfer or assignment of all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent Bank, Bank and its subsidiaries to any third party; and 

 If Employee is terminated by Bank within one year of a Change in Control or Employee’s responsibilities and compensation are materially diminished
as a result of a Change in Control, the Employee shall be paid by the Bank in lump sum in an amount equal to twice Employee’s Salary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred upon the consummation
of the Merger.

hereof and unpaid as of the effective date of the termination of employment, as applicable. Nothing contained herein shall limit or impinge upon any other rights or remedies of the Bank or the Employee under any other agreement or plan to which the

	 	3.	COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

 [TO BE DETERMINED] 
  

	 	4.	BANK INFORMATION 

 4.1 Bank Information.
“Bank Information” includes “confidential information” and “trade secrets.” “Confidential information” means data and information relating to the business 
  

 4 

 of the Bank (which does not rise to the status of a trade secret, as defined herein) which is or has been disclosed to
the Employee or of which the Employee became aware as a consequence of or through the Employee’s relationship with the Bank and which has value to the Bank and is not generally known to its competitors. Confidential Information shall not
include any data or information that has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Bank (except where such public disclosure has been made the Employee without authorization) or that has been independently developed and disclosed by others, or
that otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means. “Trade secrets” means Bank information including, but not limited to technical or nontechnical data, strategic plans, business models, collateral data management systems,
compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, drawings, processes, financial data, financial plans, product plans or lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers which (a) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not
being generally known to, and not being readily ascertained by proper means by other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (b) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its
secrecy. 
 4.1.1 Ownership of Bank Information. All Bank Information received or developed by the Employee while
employed by the Bank will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Bank. 
 4.1.2 Obligations of the Employee. The
Employee agrees: 
  

	 	(a)	to hold Bank Information in the strictest confidence; 

  

	 	(b)	not to use, duplicate, reproduce, distribute, disclose or otherwise disseminate Bank Information or any physical embodiments of Bank Information; and 

  

	 	(c)	in any event, not to take any action causing or fail to take any action necessary in order to prevent any Bank Information from losing its character or ceasing to qualify as Bank
Information or a Trade Secret. 

 In the event that the Employee is required by law to disclose any Bank Information, the
Employee will not make such disclosure unless (and then only to the extent that) the Employee has been advised by independent legal counsel that such disclosure is required by law and then only after prior written notice is given to the Bank when
the Employee becomes aware that such disclosure has been requested and is required by law. This Section 4 shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of this Agreement for any reason with respect to Confidential
Information, and shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason for so long as is permitted by applicable law, with respect to Trade Secrets. 
 4.1.3 Delivery upon Request or Termination. Upon request by the Bank, and in any event upon termination of his employment with the Bank, the Employee will promptly deliver to the Bank all property belonging to
the Bank, including without limitation, all Bank Information then in his possession or control.

	 	5.	NON-COMPETE PROVISIONS 

 5.1 Non-Competition.
The Employee agrees that during the Employment Term and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment hereunder, he will not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Bank), within the
geographic area within the boundaries of the county in which the Bank is located, as well as contiguous counties in each state (the “Area”), either directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, as an
executive employee or in any other capacity which involves duties and responsibilities similar to those undertaken for the Bank (including as an organizer or proposed executive officer of a new financial institution), engage in any business which is
the same as or essentially the same as the business of the Bank, which is commercial banking (“Business of the Bank”). It is the express intent of the parties that the Area as defined herein is the area where the Employee performs services
on behalf of the Bank under this Agreement as of the Effective Date. 
 5.2 Non-Solicitation of Customers. The Employee agrees that
during the Employment Term and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment hereunder, he will not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Bank), within the Area, on his own behalf or in
the service or on behalf of others, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, any business from any of the Bank’s customers, including actively sought prospective customers, with whom the Employee has or had
material contact during the last two (2) years of his employment, for purposes of providing products or services that are competitive with the Business of the Bank. 
 5.3 Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Employee agrees that during the Employment Term and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment hereunder, he will not, within the
Area, on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, recruit or hire away or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire away, any employee of the Bank or its affiliates to another person or entity providing products or services that
are competitive with the Business of the Bank, whether or not (a) such employee is a full-time employee or a temporary employee of the Bank or its affiliates, (b) such employment is pursuant to a written agreement, and (c) such
employment is for a determined period or is at-will. 
 5.4 Remedy for Breach. The Employee acknowledges that the covenants contained
in Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are of the essence of this Agreement; that each of the covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect the business, interests, and properties of the Bank; and that a
violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, especially the Restrictive Covenants, will cause irreparable damage and loss to the Bank, its successors and assigns. Therefore, the Employee agrees and consents that, in addition to all the
remedies provided by law or in equity, any violation shall entitle the Bank or its successors and assigns to an immediate temporary restraining order and temporary and permanent injunctions to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of any of the
covenants. The Bank and the Employee agree that all remedies available to the Bank or the Employee, as applicable, shall be cumulative. 
 5.5 Separability. The Restrictive Covenants set forth in this Agreement are independent of any other covenant or provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any 
  

 6 

 claim or cause of action against the Bank or any company affiliated with or related to the Bank, whether predicated on
this Agreement, or any other agreement, or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of these covenants. Further, if any provision of this Agreement is ruled invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because of
a conflict between the provision and any applicable law or public policy, the provision shall be redrawn to make the provision consistent with any valid and enforceable under the law or public policy.
