 WHEREAS, the Bank and the Executive
intend that this Agreement shall amend and restate in its entirety the December 16, 2004 Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement, and from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement the December 16, 2004 Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement
shall be of no further force or effect. 
  
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Officer and the Bank hereby agree as follows. 
  
 Article 1 
 General Definitions 
  
 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used herein as defined in the Salary Continuation Agreement dated as of the date of this Agreement between the Bank and the Executive. The following terms
shall have the meanings specified – 
  
 1.1
Administrator means the administrator described in Article 7. 
  
 1.2 Executive’s Interest means the benefit set forth in Section 2.2(a). 
  
 1.3 Insured means the Executive. 

 1.4 Insurer means each life insurance carrier in which there is a Split Dollar Policy Endorsement
attached to this Agreement. 
  
 1.5 Net Death Proceeds
means the total death proceeds of the Policy minus the cash surrender value. 
  
 1.6 Policy means the specific life insurance policy or policies issued by the Insurers. 
  
 1.7 Split Dollar Policy Endorsement means the form required by the Administrator or the Insurer to indicate the Executive’s interest, if any,
in a Policy on such Executive’s life. 
  
 Article 2

 Policy Ownership/Interests 
  
 2.1 Bank Ownership. The Bank is the sole owner of the Policy and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership. The Bank shall be the
beneficiary of the remaining death proceeds of the Policy after the Executive’s Interest is paid according to Section 2.2 below. 
  
 2.2 Death Benefit. (a) Executive’s Interest If the Policy Is Not Cancelled. Provided the Policy is not cancelled, surrendered,
terminated, or allowed to lapse, the Executive’s beneficiary designated in accordance with the Split Dollar Policy Endorsement shall be entitled to 80% of the Net Death Proceeds (the “Executive’s Interest”). The Executive shall
have the right to designate the beneficiary of the Executive’s Interest. The Executive or the Executive’s transferee shall also have the right to elect and change settlement options that may be permitted for the Executive’s Interest.

  
 (b) If the Policy Is Cancelled. If the Policy is
cancelled, surrendered, terminated, or allowed to lapse, in any such case without replacement, the Executive’s beneficiary designated in accordance with the Split Dollar Policy Endorsement shall be entitled to death proceeds payable by the Bank
in an amount in cash equal to the sum of (1) the amount specified in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.2, measured at the time the Policy is cancelled, surrendered, terminated, or allowed to lapse, plus (2) a tax gross-up payment
to compensate for federal and state taxes imposed on the benefit specified in clause (1) of this Section 2.2(b). The tax gross-up payment required under this clause (2) of Section 2.2(b) shall be calculated in two steps, first by
dividing the total death benefit specified in clause (1) of this Section 2.2(b) by one minus the sum of (x) the highest marginal individual federal income tax rate under the Internal Revenue Code at the time of the
Executive’s death (offset or reduced to account for the deductibility at the federal level of state income taxes), plus (y) the highest marginal individual state income tax rate under North Carolina law at the time of the
Executive’s death. Second, the death benefit specified in clause (1) of this Section 2.2(b) shall then be subtracted from the amount calculated in that first step. The difference shall be the additional tax gross-up payment to be made
to compensate for taxes, regardless of whether it exceeds or is less than taxes imposed on the Executive’s estate for “income in respect of a decedent.” To illustrate with a simple hypothetical based on an assumed death benefit amount
of $100,000 paid directly by the Bank under clause (1) of this Section 2.2(b), the additional tax gross-up payment would be calculated as follows if the highest 
  

 2 

 marginal individual income tax rates are 34% (federal) and 7.5% (North Carolina), taking into account the deductibility
at the federal level of state income taxes: 
  

					
	 	 	First Step:	  	$ 100,000 / divided by (1 - ((34% + 7.5%) - (34% x 7.5%))
	 	 	 	  	= $ 100,000 / divided by (1 minus 38.95%)
	 	 	=	  	$ 100,000 / divided by 61.05%, or .6105
	 	 	 	  	= $ 163,800
			
	 	 	Second Step:	  	$ 163,800 minus $ 100,000
	 	 	=	  	$ 63,800, the amount of the additional tax gross-up payment

  
 2.3 Comparable
Coverage. The Bank may replace the Policy with a comparable insurance policy to cover the benefit provided under this Agreement, in which case the Bank and the Executive shall execute a new Split Dollar Policy Endorsement for the comparable
insurance policy. 
  
 2.4 Internal Revenue Code
Section 1035 Exchanges. The Executive recognizes and agrees that the Bank may after this Split Dollar Agreement is adopted wish to exchange the Policy of life insurance on the Executive’s life for another contract of life insurance
insuring the Executive’s life. Provided that the Policy is replaced (or intended to be replaced) with a comparable policy of life insurance, the Executive agrees to provide medical information and cooperate with medical insurance-related
testing required by a prospective insurer for implementing the Policy or, if necessary, for modifying or updating to a comparable insurer. 
  
 Article 3 
 Premiums 

 
 3.1 Premium Payment. The Bank shall pay any premiums due on the
Policy. 
  
 3.2 Economic Benefit. The Administrator shall
annually determine the economic benefit attributable to the Executive based on the amount of the current term rate for the Executive’s age multiplied by the aggregate death benefit payable to the Executive’s beneficiary. The “current
term rate” is the minimum amount required to be imputed under applicable Internal Revenue Service authority. 
  
 3.3 Imputed Income. The Bank shall impute the economic benefit to the Executive on an annual basis. 
  
 Article 4 
 Assignment 
  
 The Executive may irrevocably assign without consideration all of the Executive’s rights and interest in this Agreement to any person, entity, or trust established by the Executive or the Executive’s spouse. If the Executive
transfers all of the Executive’s rights and interest in this Agreement, then all of the Executive’s rights and interest in the Agreement shall be vested in the Executive’s transferee, who shall be substituted as a party hereunder and
the Executive shall have no further interest in this Agreement. 
  

 3 

 Article 5 
 Insurer 
  
 The Insurer
shall be bound only by the terms of the Policy. Any payments the Insurer makes or actions it takes in accordance with the Policy shall fully discharge it from all claims, suits and demands of all entities or persons. The Insurer shall not be bound
by or be deemed to have notice of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 Article 6 
 Claims and Review Procedures 
  
 6.1 Claims Procedure. The Bank shall notify any person or entity that makes a claim for benefits under this Agreement
(the “Claimant”) in writing, within 90 days of Claimant’s written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or ineligibility for benefits under the Agreement. If the Bank determines that the Claimant is not eligible for
benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth (a) the specific reasons for such denial, (b) a specific reference to the provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is based, (c) a description of any additional information
or material necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (d) an explanation of the Agreement’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if
the Claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Bank determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Bank shall notify the Claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a
decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90 days. 
  
 6.2 Review Procedure. If the Claimant is determined by the Bank to be ineligible for benefits, or if the Claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Claimant shall have
the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Bank by filing a petition for review with the Bank within 60 days after receipt of the notice issued by the Bank. Said petition shall state the specific reasons, which the Claimant believes entitle
him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within 60 days after receipt by the Bank of the petition, the Bank shall afford the Claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Bank verbally or in
writing, and the Claimant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Bank shall notify the Claimant of its decision in writing within the 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a
manner to be understood by the Claimant and the specific provisions of the Agreement on which the decision is based. If, because of the need for a hearing, the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60 days
at the election of the Bank, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Claimant.

or, to the best knowledge of the Bank, is contemplated insofar as the Bank is concerned, and 
  
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall be considered an unfunded arrangement maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement benefits for the

 NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Executive and the Bank hereby agree as follows. 
  
 Article 1 
 Definitions 
  
 The following words and phrases used in this Agreement have the meanings specified. 
  
 1.1 “Accrual Balance” means the liability that should be accrued by the Bank under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the Bank’s obligation to the Executive under

 determined such that when it is credited with interest each month, the Accrual Balance at Normal Retirement Age equals
the present value of the normal retirement benefits. The discount rate means the rate used by the Plan Administrator for determining the Accrual Balance. The rate is based on the yield on a 20-year corporate bond rated Aa by Moody’s, rounded to

signs, and returns to the Plan Administrator to designate one or more Beneficiaries. 
  
 1.4 “Change in Control” shall mean any one of the following events occurs, provided the event constitutes a change in control within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 409A and rules,

 (b) Change

market value equal to or exceeding 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Bank immediately before the acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the Bank’s assets, or
the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with the assets.

stockholders as part of the holding company reorganization are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by section 3(a)(12) of that Act. If a holding company reorganization occurs, references in this Section 1.4 to the Bank
shall mean the holding company instead, and after a holding company reorganization a sale of the holding company’s assets includes sale of the Bank alone. 
  

1.5 “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
  
 1.6 “Disability” means, because of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be
expected to result in death or that can be expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months, (a) the Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity, or (b) the Executive is receiving income replacement
benefits for a period of at least three months under an accident and health plan of the Bank. Medical determination of disability may be made either by the Social Security Administration or by the provider of an accident or health plan covering

 1.8 “Effective Date” means April 1, 2005.

 1.13 “Termination for Cause” and “Cause” shall have the same meaning specified in any employment or severance agreement
existing on the date hereof or entered into after the date of this Agreement by the Executive and the Bank. If the Executive is not a party to a severance or employment agreement containing a definition of termination for cause, Termination for
Cause means the Executive’s employment terminates for any of the following reasons – 
  
 (a) the Executive’s gross negligence or gross neglect of duties or intentional and material failure to perform stated duties after
written notice thereof, causing material harm to the Bank or affiliates, or

business or property of the Bank or its affiliates, including without limitation the reputation of the Bank, causing material harm to the Bank or affiliates, or 
  
 (d) a willful violation by the Executive of any applicable law or significant policy of the Bank or an
affiliate causing material harm to the Bank or affiliates, regardless of whether the violation leads to criminal prosecution or conviction. For purposes of this Agreement, applicable laws include any statute, rule, regulatory order, statement of
policy, or final cease-and-desist order of any governmental agency or body having regulatory authority over the Bank, or 
  
 (e) the occurrence of any event that results in the Executive being excluded from coverage, or having coverage limited for the Executive
as compared to other executives of the Bank, under the Bank’s blanket bond or other fidelity or insurance policy covering its directors, officers, or employees, or 
  
 (f) the Executive is removed from office or permanently prohibited from participating in the Bank’s

 For purposes of this Agreement, if there is a dispute about the employment status of the Executive or the date of the
Executive’s Termination of Employment, the Bank shall have the sole and absolute right to decide the dispute unless a Change in Control shall have occurred. 
  
 Article 2 
 Lifetime Benefits 
  
 2.1 Normal Retirement
Benefit. When the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.1 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement, provided the Executive’s Termination of
Employment does not occur before Normal Retirement Age. If the Executive’s Termination of Employment after payment of benefits under this Section 2.1 commences is a Termination for Cause or if this Agreement terminates under Article 5, no
further benefits shall be paid to the Executive. 
  
 2.1.1
Amount of Benefit. The annual benefit under this Section 2.1 is $126,400. 
  
 2.1.2 Payment of Benefit. The Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month, beginning with the month immediately after the month in
which the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age. The Normal Retirement annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for his lifetime. 
  
 2.2 Early Termination Benefit. Upon Early Termination, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.2 instead
of any other benefit under this Agreement. 
  
 2.2.1 Amount of
Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.2 is the Early Termination annual benefit amount, which shall be calculated as the fixed annual amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately preceding
the month in which Early Termination occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over the period beginning with the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age and ending when the Executive attains age 82 and taking into account interest at the discount rate
or rates established by the Plan Administrator. The Early Termination benefits shown on Schedule A are for illustrative purposes only and are based on the assumptions that Early Termination occurs immediately after the final day of a Plan Year and
that the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age more than six months thereafter. 
  
 2.2.2 Payment of Benefit. The Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month, beginning with the later of (a) the seventh month
after the Executive’s Termination of Employment, or (b) the month immediately after the month in which the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for his lifetime.

 2.3 Disability Benefit. Upon Termination of Employment because of Disability before Normal
Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.3 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. 
  
 2.3.1 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.3 is the Disability annual benefit amount, which shall be calculated as the fixed
annual amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately preceding the month in which Termination of Employment occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over the period beginning with the Executive’s
Normal Retirement Age and ending when the Executive attains age 82 and taking into account interest at the discount rate or rates established by the Plan Administrator. The Disability benefits shown on Schedule A are for illustrative purposes only
and are based on the assumptions that Termination of Employment occurs immediately after the final day of a Plan Year and that the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age more than six months thereafter. 
  
 2.3.2 Payment of Benefit. The Bank shall pay the annual benefit to
the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month, beginning with the later of (a) the seventh month after the Executive’s Termination of Employment, or (b) the month immediately after the month in
which the Executive attains the Normal Retirement Age. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for his lifetime. 
  
 2.4 Change-in-Control Benefit. If a Change in Control occurs after the date of this Agreement, unless benefits are being paid under section 2.1 the
Bank shall exercise its discretion to terminate this Agreement and pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.4 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. 
  
 2.4.1 Amount of Benefit: The benefit under this Section 2.4 is the Normal Retirement Age Accrual Balance
required by Section 2.1, without discount for the time value of money. 
  
 2.4.2 Payment of Benefit: The Bank shall pay the Change-in-Control benefit under Section 2.4 of this Agreement to the Executive in one lump sum within three days after the Change in Control. Payment of the
Change-in-Control benefit shall fully discharge the Bank from all obligations under this Agreement, except the legal fee reimbursement obligation under Section 7.13 and the obligation to make section 280G excise-tax gross-up payments under
Section 7.14. 
  
 2.5 Contradiction in Terms of Agreement
and Schedule A. If there is a contradiction in the terms of this Agreement and Schedule A attached hereto concerning the actual amount of a particular benefit amount due the Executive under Section 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 hereof, then the actual
amount of the benefit set forth in 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. 
  

 6 

 2.6 Savings Clause Relating to Compliance with Code Section 409A. If any provision of this
Agreement does not satisfy the requirements of Code section 409A or rules, regulations, and guidance of general application issued by the Department of the Treasury under Code section 409A, such provision shall be applied in a manner consistent with
those requirements, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement. 
  
 Article 3 
 Death Benefits 
  
 3.1 Death During Active Service. If the Executive dies in active service to the Bank, the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to
(a) an amount in cash equal to the Accrual Balance at the time of the Executive’s death, and (b) the benefit, if any, provided by the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement attached to this Agreement as Addendum A, as the same may be
amended. 
  
 3.2 Death After Termination of Employment. If
the Executive dies after Termination of Employment and at Termination of Employment the Executive was entitled to the normal retirement benefit provided by Section 2.1, the Early Termination benefit provided by Section 2.2, or the
Disability benefit provided by Section 2.3, the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to (a) an amount in cash equal to the Accrual Balance remaining at the time of the Executive’s death, and (b) the benefit, if any,
provided by the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement attached to this Agreement as Addendum A, as the same may be amended. 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. 
  
 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 be cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted by the Plan Administrator before the Executive’s death.

  

 7 

 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. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate if Termination of
Employment is a result of Termination for Cause. Likewise, no benefits shall be paid under the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement attached to this Agreement as Addendum A, as the same may be amended, and the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement also
shall terminate, if Termination of Employment is a result of Termination for Cause. 
  
 5.2 Suicide or Misstatement. No benefits shall be paid under this Agreement or under the Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement attached to this Agreement as Addendum A, as the same may be amended, if the Executive
commits suicide within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the Executive makes any material misstatement of fact on any application or resume provided to the Bank or on any application for benefits provided by the Bank. 
  
 5.3 Removal. If the Executive is removed from office or permanently
prohibited from participating in the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of
the effective date of the order. 
  
 5.4 Default.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Bank is in “default” or “in danger of default,” as those terms are defined in section 3(x) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. 1813(x), all
obligations under this Agreement shall terminate. 
  

 8 

 5.5 FDIC Open-Bank Assistance. All obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, except to the
extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for the continued operation of the Bank, when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority
contained in Federal Deposit Insurance Act section 13(c). 12 U.S.C. 1823(c). Rights of the parties that have already vested shall not be affected by such action, however. 
  
 Article 6 
 Claims and Review Procedures 
  
 6.1 Claims
Procedure. The Bank shall notify any person or entity that makes a claim for benefits under this Agreement (the “Claimant”) in writing, within 90 days of Claimant’s written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or
ineligibility for benefits under the Agreement. If the Bank determines that the Claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth (a) the specific reasons for such denial, (b) a specific reference to the
provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is based, (c) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (d) an explanation of
the Agreement’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Bank determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to
make a decision, the Bank shall notify the Claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90 days. 
  
 6.2 Review Procedure. If the Claimant is determined by the Bank to be
ineligible for benefits, or if the Claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Claimant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Bank by filing a petition for review with the Bank within 60
days after receipt of the notice issued by the Bank. Said petition shall state the specific reasons, which the Claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within 60 days after receipt by the Bank of the
petition, the Bank shall afford the Claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Bank verbally or in writing, and the Claimant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Bank shall
notify the Claimant of its decision in writing within the 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner to be understood by the Claimant and the specific provisions of the Agreement on which the decision is
based. If, because of the need for a hearing, the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60 days at the election of the Bank, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Claimant. 
  

 9 

 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 or 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 shall
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 North 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 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 to this Agreement as Addendum A, as the same may be amended, constitute the entire agreement between the Bank and the Executive as to the subject matter hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive under this Agreement other
than those specifically set forth herein. 
  

 10 

 7.10 Severability. If for any reason 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. Unless otherwise changed by notice, notice
shall be properly addressed to the Executive if addressed to the address of the Executive on the books and records of the Bank at the time of the delivery of such notice, and properly addressed to the Bank if addressed to the Board of Directors,
Bank of Wilmington, 1117 Military Cutoff Road, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405. 
  
 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 his 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 be granted to the Executive hereunder. It is the intention of the Bank that the Executive not be forced to negotiate settlement of his
rights under this Agreement under threat of incurring expenses. Accordingly, if after a Change in Control occurs it appears to the Executive that (a) the Bank has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, or
(b) 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 his 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. 
  

 11 

 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 the Executive’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. 
  
 7.14 Internal Revenue Code Section 280G Gross Up. (a) Additional Payment to Account for Excise Taxes. If as a 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 (1) 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 (2) a payment equal to the amount necessary to provide the Excise Tax Payment net of all
income, payroll and excise taxes. Together, the additional amounts described in clauses (1) and (2) are referred to in this Agreement as the “Gross-Up Payment Amount.” 
  
 Calculating the Excise Tax. For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Benefits will be subject to the
Excise Tax and for purposes of determining the amount of the Excise Tax, 
  

	 	(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 Termination of Employment (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 not constitute (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 

 

 12 

 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, 
  

	 	(2)	Calculation of Benefits Subject to Excise Tax: the amount of the Total Benefits that shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of
(a) the total amount of the Total Benefits reduced by the amount of such Total Benefits that in the opinion of the Accounting Firm are not parachute payments, or (b) the amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of section
280G(b)(1) (after applying clause (1), above), and 

  

	 	(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 termination of employment, 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 withholding taxes). 
  
 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. 
  

 13 

 (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 that has
occurred. The Underpayment (together with interest at the rate provided in section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall be paid 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 that has been made. 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 his 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). 
  

 14 

 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 board 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 (a) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the
administration of this Agreement and (b) 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 Termination of Employment 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. The accrual balance reflects payment at the beginning of each month.

	(2)	The Early Termination benefit and the Disability benefit continue for the Executive’s lifetime. The Early Termination and Disability benefits are calculated as the fixed annual
amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately preceding the month in which Termination of Employment occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over the period beginning with the Executive’s Normal
Retirement Age and ending when the Executive attains age 82 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 and are based on the assumption that Termination of Employment occurs immediately after the final day of a Plan Year. The Early Termination and Disability benefits shown also assume the Executive’s
Termination of Employment occurs more than six months before the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age, and that the Early Termination benefit or the Disability benefit therefore becomes payable beginning in the month after the Executive attains
the Normal Retirement Age. 

	(3)	The Executive attains Normal Retirement Age on December 17, 2020. The first monthly normal retirement benefit payment will be made on January 1, 2021.

 If there is a contradiction between the terms of the Agreement and Schedule A concerning the actual
amount of a particular benefit amount due the Executive under Section 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 of the Agreement, then the actual amount of the benefit set forth in 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.
