which may be outstanding at any time and from time to time.

2.1.5 Other Future Advances. With respect to items of Property in which no interest arises

any person, corporation, partnership, trust or other legal entity that, directly or indirectly,
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Borrower. “Control” (and the
correlative meaning of the term “controlled by”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity.

2.1.7 Borrower’s Obligations. As used herein, “Borrower’s Obligations” means,
collectively, all of the Secured Obligations required to be paid or performed by Borrower.

2.2 Combination of Instruments. This Mortgage combines a real estate mortgage, an
assignment of rents and leases, a security agreement, a fixture filing, and a financing statement
into one document and shall be construed accordingly.

2.3 Open-End Mortgage. For all items of the Property in which an interest arises under
real estate law, this is an open-end mortgage which secures payment of future advances.

hereafter extended to or on behalf of Borrower.

2.5 Financing Statement and Fixture Filing. This Mortgage, a carbon copy, a photographic
copy, or other reproduction of it or a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement
and may be filed as such. As a financing statement, this Mortgage covers items of collateral which
are or which may become fixtures in addition to personal property. If this Mortgage or any
reproduction of it is filed as a financing statement: Borrower is the debtor; Lender is the
secured party; an address of Lender from which information concerning the security interest may

be obtained is Lender’s address set forth at the beginning; a mailing address of Borrower is
Borrower’s address at the beginning; Borrower’s state of organization is as indicated in the

Agreement”) executed by Borrower and Lender on even date. The Loan Agreement sets forth, among
other things, the terms and conditions under which Lender is obligated to advance up to the full
amount of the Note and may make nonobligatory advances, all of which are secured by this Mortgage.
The Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof as though fully rewritten
herein, including the defined terms. A copy of the Loan Agreement is maintained at the offices of
Lender and may be inspected by interested persons.

2.7 Interpretation. This Mortgage form is and shall be construed accordingly to reflect
the fact that the credit giving rise to the Secured Obligations would not have been extended by
Lender but for the security provided by this Mortgage. Where the sense requires it, the singular
may be read as the plural or the reverse and any gender may be read as any other gender.

ARTICLE 3: COVENANTS

required.

Borrower for similar properties in similar geographic areas owned by Borrower and shall include
builder’s risk insurance for development projects. Lender shall be named as mortgagee and loss
payee under a standard noncontributing lender’s loss payable clause.

3.2.2 Borrower shall maintain in full force and effect liability insurance with the scope of

be covered by any insurance immediately after the occurrence thereof. Borrower shall promptly
adjust and compromise any insurance claims and, if Borrower fails (in Lender’s good faith judgment)
to promptly adjust and compromise such claims, Lender shall have the right, but

- 5 -

 

not the obligation, on behalf of Borrower, to adjust and compromise any claims under such
insurance, collect and receive the proceeds thereof and execute and deliver all proofs of loss,
receipts, vouchers and releases in connection with such claims.

3.2.5 At least 30 days prior to the expiration of each insurance policy, Borrower shall deliver to

ARTICLE 4: TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY; ASSUMPTION

4.1 Borrower’s Successors. This Mortgage shall be binding upon Borrower’s successors and
assigns and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and
permitted assigns; however, Borrower may neither assign Borrower’s rights under this Mortgage nor
delegate Borrower’s duties under this Mortgage without the express written consent of Lender.

4.2 No Release of Borrower. No sale, transfer, or encumbrance of the Property or of
Borrower’s rights under this Mortgage and the Note and no delegation of Borrower’s obligations
under this Mortgage or any other Borrower’s Obligations shall release Borrower from liability for
any Borrower’s Obligations unless: [i] Lender and such transferee or delegee agree in writing that
such transferee or delegee is satisfactory to Lender and that such transferee or delegee shall
perform Borrower’s Obligations and pay such interest thereon as Lender may request, and [ii] Lender
delivers to Borrower a written release.

ARTICLE 5: LEASES AND RENTS

5.1 Assignment of Rents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and without the
necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in
person, by agent or by a receiver, Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents
as the same become due and payable, including, but not limited to, Rents then due and unpaid, and
all such Rents shall immediately upon delivery be held by Borrower as trustee for the benefit of
Lender only. Borrower agrees that after an Event of Default has occurred, each tenant of the
Property shall be directed to pay such Rents to Lender or Lender’s agent on Lender’s written demand
to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant personally or by mail, without any liability on
the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by Borrower. Borrower
hereby covenants that Borrower has not executed any prior assignment of Rents, that Borrower has
not performed, and will not perform any acts which would prevent Lender from exercising its rights
under this section. Borrower covenants that Borrower will not hereafter collect or accept payment
of any Rents more than one month prior to the due dates of such Rents nor (excepting payment of
arrears) in an amount referable to a period exceeding one month, except that Borrower may require
prepayment of such Rents and other monies by way of security for performance of any lessee’s or
other obligor’s covenants under any Lease if the amount of such a prepayment is promptly paid over
to Lender and applied to Borrower’s Obligations.

- 6 -

 

Borrower further covenants that Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender such further
assignments of Rents as Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

5.2 Compliance with Leases. Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all Leases
and shall notify Lender if Borrower is unable to do so or determines that it will be unable to do
so for any significant terms. Lender may do whatever it determines is necessary to insure that all
Leases continue in effect whenever Lender determines that Borrower is or may be unable to perform
any significant term of the Leases.

5.3 No Delegation of Borrower’s Duties and Indemnity. Borrower does not hereby delegate to
Lender Borrower’s duties under the Leases and Lender shall not be obligated to discharge such
duties. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold it harmless from all claims, regardless of merit,
in any way arising out of the Leases and the assignment to Lender of the Leases and Rents and any
expenses related to such claims, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any claims paid or expenses incurred by Lender which fall
within the preceding indemnity immediately upon written demand.

5.4 Subordination of Leases. All Leases and the rights of tenants thereunder shall be
subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and to all terms, conditions and provisions hereof, and to
any renewal, consolidation, extension, modification or replacement hereof, and every Lease shall
provide for such subordination therein; provided, however, Lender and Borrower may establish by
mutual agreement a minimum threshold for leases that will require the subordination provision based
upon the annual rent payable under such lease.

5.5 Attornment. The tenant of any Lease shall attorn to anyone, including Lender, who
acquires the lessor’s interest in the Lease and the Property (“Purchaser”), whether by foreclosure
sale or otherwise, solely at Purchaser’s option. The tenant’s attornment shall be effective upon
Purchaser’s notice that it elects to enforce the attornment and the Lease shall continue in effect
between Purchaser as lessor and the tenant without any further act of Purchaser, Lender or the
tenant. Purchaser shall have no liability for any act, omission or obligation of the previous
lessor. Every Lease shall provide for such attornment therein; provided, however, Lender and
Borrower may establish by mutual agreement a minimum threshold for leases that will require the
attornment provision based upon the annual rent payable under such lease.

ARTICLE 6: DEFAULT, ACCELERATION, AND REMEDIES

6.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement
shall constitute an Event of Default under this Mortgage.

6.2 Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Whenever any Event of Default occurs, Lender may
take any one or more of the following remedial steps concurrently or successively in addition to
any other remedies under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

6.2.1 The Secured Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, without presentment of any
kind, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of default, notice of intention to accelerate
maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower
hereby waives to the extent permitted by law.

- 7 -

if applicable, complete construction of the Improvements (or any part thereof) and perform the
obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.

6.2.3 To the extent permitted by law and in accordance with all applicable law, Lender may exercise
its power of sale.

6.2.4 Lender may foreclose this Mortgage or accept delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In
any foreclosure or sale, the Property may be sold in one or more parcels, lots, or groups
(including mixtures of personal and real property, or separately, any provision of law to the
contrary notwithstanding) and, to the extent permitted by law, Lender shall be under no obligation
either to marshal any assets of the Borrower or to marshal any portions of the Property.

6.2.5 Lender may sue Borrower directly to collect any monies then due and may take any action at
law or equity (including bringing an action for a mandatory injunction, restraining order or
specific performance) to enforce performance of Borrower’s Obligations.

6.2.6 For any security in which no interest arises under real estate law, Lender may exercise its
rights as a secured party under Article 9. Borrower agrees that a commercially reasonable manner
of disposition of the Property subject to security interests under Article 9 shall include, without
limitation and at the option of Lender, the sale of the Property in whole or in part, concurrently
with the foreclosure sale of the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage.

6.2.7 Lender may terminate its obligation to disburse loan proceeds during the continuation of an
Event of Default.

6.2.8 Lender may, and is hereby authorized by Borrower, at any time or from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, without advance notice to Borrower (any such notice being
expressly waived by Borrower) to set off and apply any and all sums held by Lender, any
indebtedness of Lender to Borrower, any and all claims by Borrower against Lender, against any
obligations of Borrower hereunder, and against claims by Lender against Borrower, whether or not
such obligations or claims of Borrower are matured and whether or not Lender has exercised any
other remedies hereunder.

6.2.9 In any action or proceeding to foreclose this Mortgage, or upon actual or threatened waste to
any part of the Property, Lender may apply, without notice to Borrower, for the appointment of a
receiver (“Receiver”) of the Property. Unless prohibited by law, such appointment may be made
either before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of
Borrower at the time of application for such Receiver and without regard to the then value of the
Property, and Lender may be appointed as Receiver. The Receiver shall have the power to collect
the rents, issues and profits of the Property during the pendency of the foreclosure and, in case
of a sale and deficiency during the full statutory period of redemption, whether there be
redemption or not, as well as during any future times, if any, when Borrower, except for the
intervention of such Receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, issues and profits, and all
other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases

- 8 -

 

for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property during the whole
of said proceeding. All sums of money received by the Receiver from such rents and income, after
deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with the
collection and disbursement thereof, shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations or
applied to remedy any default hereunder as Lender may direct. Borrower, if requested to do so,
will consent to the appointment of any such Receiver as aforesaid.

6.2.10 Lender may take any other action which Lender is entitled to take under any law, equity, or
the Loan Documents.

6.2.11 Lender may, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, and without waiving or
releasing Borrower from any of the agreements and covenants in the Loan Documents, pay any sum or
perform any act or take such action as Lender may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect
the lien of this Mortgage, the Property or otherwise in the sole discretion of Lender. Borrower
hereby grants to Lender, and agrees that Lender shall have, after the occurrence of one or more
Events of Default, the absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon the Property or any part
thereof to such extent and as often as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable
for such purpose. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as it may, in its sole discretion,
deem necessary for the purposes stated herein. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender, on written
demand, all such sums so paid or expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the date
of each such payment or expenditure at the default rate specified in the Note.

6.3 Sale of Property. The following provisions apply to any sale of the Property pursuant
to this Article 6 or pursuant to any judicial proceeding.

6.3.1 Receipt Sufficient Discharge for Purchaser. The receipt of the court officer or
other person conducting any such sale for the purchase money paid at any such sale shall be
sufficient discharge thereof to any purchaser of the Property, or any part thereof, sold as
aforesaid. No such purchaser or his representatives, grantees or assigns, after paying such
purchase money and receiving such receipt, shall be bound to see to the application of such
purchase money upon or for purpose of this Mortgage, or shall be answerable in any matter
whatsoever for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication of any such purchase money or any part
thereof, nor shall any such purchaser be bound to inquire as to the necessity or expediency of any
such sale.

6.3.2 Lender’s Purchase of Property. Lender or any holder of the Note may bid for and
purchase the Property being sold, and upon compliance with the terms of sale, Lender or any holder
of the Note may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such Property in its own absolute right
without further accountability.

6.3.3 Application of Proceeds of Sale. Unless Lender elects otherwise, the purchase money
or proceeds of any such sale shall be applied: first, to all charges, expenses and fees payable by
Borrower under the Loan Documents, including all attorneys’ fees, Receiver’s fees and other costs
and expenses incurred by Lender, with interest thereon at the default rate specified in the Note;
second, to all unpaid interest accrued on any of the Secured Obligations; third, to the principal
amount outstanding of the Secured Obligations; and the balance, if any, to Borrower.

- 9 -

 

6.3.4 No Defense; Waiver. Failure to join or to provide notice to tenants under any Leases
as defendants in any foreclosure action or suit shall not [i] constitute a defense to such
foreclosure; [ii] preclude Lender from obtaining a deficiency judgment or otherwise reduce or
diminish the amount of any such judgment in any manner whatsoever; or [iii] give rise to any claims
by Borrower, or any person claiming through or under Borrower, against Lender. Upon the request of
Lender and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower shall execute and file with the
clerk of the court a legally sufficient waiver of any statutory waiting period with respect to the
execution of a judgment obtained by Lender in connection with any foreclosure proceedings. The
obligations of Borrower to so execute and file such waiver shall survive the termination of this
Mortgage.

6.3.5 Value of Property. At any judicial or other sale of the Property, the purchase price
paid for the Property by Lender or any other purchaser shall be conclusive evidence of the value of
the Property and Lender shall have an absolute right to obtain a deficiency judgment of all amounts
due under the Secured Obligations in excess of the amount of such purchase price. Borrower waives
the right to contest the value of the Property through appraisals or otherwise.

Mortgage, Lender may incur and/or pay and/or advance costs or expenses: [i] incurred or advanced

forbearance in exercising any right or remedy on any one or more occasion shall operate as a waiver
thereof on any further occasion; and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall
preclude any other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

7.3.7 Failure by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any of the covenants and
agreements herein set forth or to exercise any rights or remedies upon default by Borrower
hereunder shall not be considered or taken as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the
right to insist upon and to enforce by mandamus or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy
strict compliance by Borrower with all of the covenants and conditions hereof, or of the rights to
exercise any such rights or remedies, if such default by Borrower is continued or repeated, or of
the right to recover possession of the Property by reason thereof. To the extent permitted by law,
any two or more of such rights or remedies may be exercised at the same time.

7.3.8 If any covenant or agreement contained in any Loan Document is breached by Borrower and
thereafter waived by Lender, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and
shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. No waiver shall be binding unless it is
in writing and signed by Lender. No course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, nor any delay
or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any rights under any of the Loan Documents, shall
operate as a waiver.

- 11 -

 

7.3.9 Pursuant to this Mortgage, Borrower has granted to Lender a security interest in the personal
property and Fixtures comprising a part of the Property to further secure the Secured Obligations.
Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing and continuation statements with respect to
such collateral (including Fixtures) in which Borrower has an interest, without the signature of
Borrower. In the event of the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Lender, pursuant to the
applicable provision of Article 9, shall have the option of proceeding as to both real and personal
property in accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of the Property, in which event the
default provisions of Article 9 shall not apply. The parties agree that in the event Lender elects
to proceed with respect to collateral constituting personal property or Fixtures separately from
the other Property, the giving of five days’ notice by Lender, sent by an overnight mail service,
postage prepaid, to Borrower at its address referred to in the introductory paragraph herein,
designating the place and time of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other
intended disposition of such collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice
thereof and Borrower waives any other notice with respect thereto.

7.3.10 Borrower and any other person now or hereafter obligated for the payment or performance of
all or any part of the Note shall not be released from paying and performing under the Note, and
the lien of this Mortgage shall not be affected by reason of [i] the failure of Lender to comply
with any request of Borrower (or of any other person so obligated), to take action to foreclose
this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Mortgage or of any of the Secured
Obligations, or [ii] the release, regardless of consideration, of the obligations of any person
liable for payment or performance of the Note, or any part thereof, or [iii] any agreement or
stipulation extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Note, and in the event of
such agreement or stipulation, Borrower and all such other persons shall continue to be liable
under such documents, as amended by such agreement or stipulation, unless expressly released and
discharged in writing by Lender.

7.3.11 Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, and whether
now or hereafter in force, [i] the benefit of any and all valuation and appraisement laws, [ii] any
right of redemption after the date of any sale of the Property upon foreclosure, whether statutory
or otherwise, in respect of the Property, [iii] any applicable homestead or dower laws, and [iv]
all exemption laws whatsoever and all moratoriums, extensions or stay laws or rules, or orders of
court in the nature of any one or more of them.

7.3.12 Nothing contained in any of the Loan Documents shall constitute any consent or request by
Lender, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any
materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof, or be construed to
permit the making of any claim against Lender in respect of labor or services or the furnishing of
any materials or other property or any claim that any lien based on the performance of such labor
or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the lien of this
Mortgage.

7.4 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, and consents (hereinafter “notices”) given
pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage shall be in writing, shall be addressed to the addresses set
forth in the introductory paragraph of this Mortgage and shall be served by [i] personal delivery;
[ii] United States mail, postage prepaid; or [iii] nationally recognized overnight courier. All
notices shall be deemed to be given upon the earlier of actual receipt or three days after mailing

- 12 -

 

or one business day after deposit with the overnight courier. Any notices meeting the requirements
of this section shall be effective, regardless of whether or not actually received. Lender and
Borrower may change their notice address at any time by giving the other party written notice of
such change.

7.5 Amendment. This Mortgage may only be amended by a writing signed by Lender and
Borrower. All references to this Mortgage, whether in this Mortgage or in any other document or
instrument, shall be deemed to incorporate all amendments, modifications and renewals of this
Mortgage made after the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 8: INTERPRETATION

8.1 Captions. The captions and headings contained in this Mortgage are for convenient
reference only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions hereof.

8.2 Severability. If any provision of this Mortgage or the application thereof to any
party or circumstance shall, to any extent, be adjudged to be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Mortgage and the application of any such provision to other parties or
circumstances shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Mortgage shall be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8.3 Governing Law. This Mortgage and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
[situs of the Property]                                         .

8.4 Survival. All agreements, representations, and warranties contained in this Mortgage
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, and shall be deemed to be effective
continuously throughout the term of this Mortgage.

ARTICLE 9: CONSTRUCTION

9.1 No Liability for Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the undertaking
of Lender under this Mortgage is limited as follows:

     (a) Lender is not and will not be in any way the agent for or trustee of Borrower. Lender
does not intend to act in any way for or on behalf of Borrower in disbursing the proceeds under the
Loan Agreement. Lender’s purpose in making the requirements set forth herein and in the Loan
Agreement is to protect the validity and priority of this Mortgage and the value of its security.

     (b) This Mortgage is not to be construed by Borrower or anyone furnishing labor, materials, or
any other work or product for improving the Property as an agreement by Lender to assure that
anyone will be paid for furnishing such labor, materials, or any other work or product. Borrower
is and shall be solely responsible for such payments.

     (c) Lender is not responsible for construction of any improvements to the Property.
Notwithstanding Lender’s inspection of the Property and the improvements, Lender assumes no
responsibility for the quality of construction or workmanship, or for the architectural or
structural

- 13 -

 

soundness of any improvements to the Property, or for the adherence to or approval of any
plans and specifications for any improvements to the Property.

     NOW, THEREFORE, if Borrower shall pay Borrower’s Obligations in full and shall fully comply
with this Mortgage, then this Mortgage and the estate hereby granted shall cease, and Lender shall
thereupon release this Mortgage at the cost and expense of Borrower (all claims for statutory
penalties, in case of Lender’s failure to release, being hereby waived); otherwise, this Mortgage
shall remain in full force and effect.

Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is made by and between GOLDLEAF FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS,
INC., a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”), and J. SCOTT CRAIGHEAD (the “Executive”), as of the
15th day of September, 2006 (the “Effective Date”).

     In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree
as follows:

SECTION I

EMPLOYMENT

     Executive is currently employed by the Company. The Company desires to continue to employ the
Executive in such capacity and the Executive agrees to continue to be employed by the Company upon
the terms and conditions provided in the Agreement.

SECTION II

POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES

     During the Period of Employment (as such term is defined herein below), the Executive agrees
to serve as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, reporting to
the Chief Executive Officer and/or President and to be responsible for the typical management
responsibilities expected of an officer holding such positions and such other responsibilities as
may be assigned to Executive from time to time by the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer
of the Company consistent with such position.

SECTION III

TERMS AND DUTIES

     A. Period of Employment.

     Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, the Executive’s employment under this Agreement
shall be for a continuing term of one (1) year (the “Term”), which shall be extended automatically
(without further action of the Company or the Executive) each day for an additional day so that the
remaining term shall continue to be one year; provided, however, that either party may at any time,
by written notice to the other, fix the Term to a finite term of one year, without further
automatic extension, commencing with the date of such notice.

     B. Duties.

     During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall devote substantially all of his business
time, attention and skill to the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries. The
Executive will perform faithfully the duties that may be assigned to him from time to time by the
Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

 

SECTION IV

COMPENSATION

     For all services rendered by the Executive in any capacity during the Period of Employment,
the Executive shall be compensated as follows:

     A. Base Salary.

     The Company shall pay the Executive an annual base salary of Two Hundred Twenty Thousand
Dollars ($220,000) (“Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be payable according to the customary
payroll practices of the Company, but in no event less frequently than once each month. The Base
Salary shall be reviewed annually and shall be subject to increase according to the policies and
practices adopted by the Company from time to time.

     B. Annual Incentive Award.

     The Company will pay annual incentive compensation awards to the Executive as may be granted
by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) under any executive bonus or incentive plan in
effect from time to time (the “Annual Incentive Award”).

     Beginning for the first year of the Agreement and continuing thereafter, the Annual Incentive
Award shall be up to Fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s then current annual Base Salary, contingent
upon performance of stipulated goals of the Company established by the Board of Directors.

     In addition, the Executive shall be eligible to receive a one-time special bonus upon the
closing of an underwritten public offering of the Company’s common stock (the “Special Incentive
Award”). The Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee thereof, shall determine the amount
of the Special Incentive Award.

     C. Benefits.

     During the Period of Employment, the Company shall provide Executive any additional
compensation and benefits plans or programs maintained by Company from time-to-time in which other
senior executives of Company participate on terms comparable to those applicable to such other
senior executives generally (commensurate with Executive’s position with Company).

     D. Stock Option Grants.

     The Company may award Executive, by separate agreement, certain stock options (“Options”) in
amounts and under such terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors or the
Compensation Committee.

2

 

SECTION V

BUSINESS

     The Company acknowledges and agrees that Executive shall be based in the Nashville, Tennessee
greater metropolitan area and shall on an occasional basis perform his duties and obligations in
various other geographic locations. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable
travel, accommodations and other expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the
performance of his duties and obligations under this Agreement wherever they may arise.

SECTION VI

DISABILITY

     A. In the event of disability of the Executive during the Period of Employment, the Company
will continue to pay the Executive according to the compensation provisions of this Agreement
during the period of his disability, until such time as Executive’s long-term disability insurance
benefits are available. However, in the event the Executive is disabled for a continuous period of
six (6) months after the Executive first becomes disabled, the Company may terminate the employment
of the Executive. In this case, normal compensation will cease except for earned but unpaid Base
Salary and Annual Incentive Awards which would be payable on a prorated basis for the year in which
the disability occurred. In the event of such termination, all unvested stock options held by
Executive shall be deemed fully vested on the date of such termination.

     B. During the period the Executive is receiving payments of either regular compensation or
disability insurance described in this Agreement and as long as he is physically and mentally able
to do so, the Executive will furnish information and assistance to the Company and from time to
time will make himself available to the Company to undertake assignments consistent with his prior
position with the Company and his physical and mental health. If the Company fails to make a
payment or provide a benefit required as part of the Agreement, the Executive’s obligation to
fulfill information and assistance will end.

     C. The term “disability” will have the same meaning as under any disability insurance provided
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION VII

DEATH

     In the event of the death of the Executive during the Period of Employment, the Company’s
obligation to make payments under this Agreement shall cease as of the date of death, except for
earned but unpaid Base Salary and Annual Incentive Award, which will be paid on a prorated basis
for that year.

SECTION VIII

EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

     A. If the Executive’s employment terminates due to either a Without Cause Termination or a
Constructive Discharge (as defined later in this Agreement), the Company will

3

 

pay the Executive in a lump sum upon such Without Cause Termination or Constructive Discharge
an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the sum of (a) his Base Salary as in effect at
such time, plus (b) an amount equal to his bonus for the prior fiscal year (the “Severance
Payment”). If necessary to comply with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (“Code”), such payment shall be made on the six (6) month anniversary of day
following such Termination or Constructive Discharge. Earned but unpaid Base Salary and earned
vacation time will also be paid in a lump sum at such time.

     B. If the Executive’s employment terminates due to a Termination for Cause or a Voluntary
Termination or if either party to this Agreement elects not to extend the Period of Employment,
earned but unpaid Base Salary will be paid on a pro-rated basis for the year in which the
termination occurs, all unpaid benefits to which he is otherwise entitled under any plan, policy or
program of the Company applicable to Executive through the date of Termination will be paid to
Executive, and no other payments will be made by the Company to Executive or on behalf of
Executive.

     C. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment, the Period of Employment will cease as of
the date of the termination.

     D. For this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

          1. “Termination for Cause” means termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company’s
Board of Directors, acting in good faith, by written notice to the Executive specifying the
event(s) relied upon for such termination, due to the Executive’s serious misconduct with respect
to his duties under this Agreement, which has resulted or is likely to result in material economic
damage to the Company, including but not limited to a conviction for a felony or perpetration of a
common law fraud; provided, however, except in the case of a conviction for a felony or a
perpetration of a common law fraud, that Company must provide such notice thirty (30) days prior to
termination and provide Executive with the opportunity to cure such damage or likely damage, to the
Company’s reasonable satisfaction, with thirty (30) days of such notice.

          2. “Constructive Discharge” means termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive
due to a failure of the Company to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement in any material
respect including any change in the geographic location of employment described above, reduction of
the Executive’s Base Salary or other compensation or benefits other than reductions applicable to
all employees of the Company, or other material change by the Company in the functions, duties or
responsibilities of the position which would reduce the ranking or level, reporting lines,
responsibility, importance or scope of the position. The Executive will provide the Company a
written notice that describes the circumstances being relied on for the termination with respect to
the Agreement within thirty (30) days after the event giving rise to the notice. The Company will
have thirty (30) days to remedy the situation prior to the termination for Constructive Discharge.

          3. “Without Cause Termination” means termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company
other than (a) due to a Termination for Cause, (b) as a result of death or disability, or (c)
through an election not to extend the Period of Employment.

4

 

          4. A “Voluntary Termination” means a termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Executive not as a result of a Constructive Discharge.

SECTION IX

OTHER DUTIES OF THE EXECUTIVE DURING

AND AFTER THE PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT

     A. The Executive will, with reasonable notice during or after the Period of Employment,
furnish information as may be in his possession and cooperate with the Company as may reasonably be
requested in connection with any claims or legal actions in which the Company is or may become a
party.

     B. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that all information pertaining to the affairs,
business, clients, customers or other relationships of the Company, as hereinafter defined, is
confidential and is a unique and valuable asset of the Company. Access to and knowledge of this
information are essential to the performance of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement. The
Executive will not during the Period of Employment or after except to the extent reasonably
necessary in performance of the duties under this Agreement, give to any person, firm, association,
corporation or governmental agency any information concerning the affairs, business, clients,
customers or other relationships of the Company except as required by law. The Executive will not
make use of this type of information for his own purposes or for the benefit of any person or
organization other than the Company. The Executive will also use his best efforts to prevent the
disclosure of this information by others. All records, memoranda, etc. relating to the business of
the Company whether made by the Executive or otherwise coming into his possession are confidential
and will remain the property of the Company.

     C. During the Period of Employment plus, provided that the Company is required to make (and
makes) or otherwise voluntarily makes the Severance Payment, for a twelve (12) month period
thereafter (the “Noncompete Period”), the Executive will not use his status with the Company to
obtain loans, goods or services from another organization on terms that would not be available to
him in the absence of his relationship to the Company. During the Noncompete Period: (i) the
Executive will not make any statements or perform any acts intended to advance the interest of any
existing or prospective competitors of the Company in any way that will injure the interest of the
Company; (ii) the Executive without prior express written approval by the Board of Directors of the
Company will not directly or indirectly own or hold any proprietary interest in or be employed by
or receive compensation from any party engaged in the same or any similar business in the same
geographic areas the Company does business; and (iii) the Executive without express prior written
approval from the Board of Directors, will not solicit any members of the then current clients of
the Company or discuss with any employee of the Company information or operation of any business
intended to compete with the Company. For the purposes of the Agreement, “proprietary interest”
means legal or equitable ownership, whether through stock holdings or otherwise, of a debt or
equity interest (including options, warrants, rights and convertible interests) in a business firm
or entity, or ownership of more than 5% of any class of equity interest in a publicly-held company.
The Executive acknowledges that the covenants contained herein are reasonable as to geographic and
temporal scope. For a twelve

5

 

(12) month period after termination of the Period of Employment for any reason, the Executive
will not directly or indirectly hire any employee of the Company or solicit or encourage any such
employee to leave the employ of the Company.

     D. The Executive acknowledges that his breach or threatened or attempted breach of any
provision of this Section IX would cause irreparable harm to the Company not compensable in
monetary damages and that the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other applicable
remedies, to a temporary and permanent injunction and a decree for specific performance of the
terms of this Section IX without being required to prove damages or furnish any bond or other
security.

     E. The Executive shall not be bound by the provisions of this Section IX in the event of the
default by the Company in its obligations under this Agreement, which are to be performed upon or
after termination of this Agreement.

     F. If the period of time or other restrictions specified in this Section should be adjudged
unreasonable at any proceeding, then the period of time or such other restrictions shall be reduced
by the elimination or reduction of such portion thereof so that such restrictions may be enforced
in a manner adjudged to be reasonable.

SECTION X

INDEMNIFICATION, LITIGATION

     The Company will indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the
state of incorporation in effect at that time, or certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the
Company whichever affords the greater protection to the Executive. The Company will use its best
efforts to maintain directors and officers liability insurance covering the Executive.

SECTION XI

PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING

THE APPLICATION OF CODE SECTION 409A

     The Executive and the Company shall cooperate to determine the application of Code Section
409A for purposes of this Agreement. If the Executive and the Company are unable to agree on the
application of Code Section 409A within ten (10) business days after the Executive’s separation
from service with the Company, then the application of Code Section 409A for purposes of this
Agreement shall be determined by an accounting firm of recognized national standing acceptable to
the Executive and the Company. The accounting firm shall be instructed to use every reasonable
effort to make its determination within ten (10) business days after it is retained. The parties
will cooperate fully with the accounting firm. The costs and expenses for the services of the
accounting firm shall be borne by the Company.

SECTION XII

WITHHOLDING TAXES

     The Company may directly or indirectly withhold from any payments under this Agreement all
federal, state, city or other taxes that shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental
regulation.

6

 

SECTION XIII

EFFECTIVE PRIOR AGREEMENTS

     This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Company and the Executive with
respect to the subject matter and supersedes any prior employment or severance agreements between
the Company and its affiliates, and the Executive.

SECTION XIV

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS

     Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from consolidating or merging into or
with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or entity that
assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder. Upon such a
Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets, the term “the Company” as used will mean the other
corporation or entity and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. This Section XIV
is not intended to modify or limit the rights of the Executive hereunder.

SECTION XV

MODIFICATION

     This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by the parties. No
term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived except in writing by the
party charged with waiver. A waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived

specifically waived.

SECTION XVI

interpretation, performance and enforcement shall be governed by the laws of that state.
