 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of September 17, 2002, between FIRST COMMUNITY
FINANCE (“First Community” or “Employer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TFC Enterprises, Inc. (“TFCEI”) and G. KENT BROOKS (“Employee”). 
  
 RECITALS: 
  
 A. The parties entered into a
Change of Control Agreement dated July 6, 2001 (the “Original Agreement”) under the assumption that it is possible that at some future date there may be a Change of Control in First Community. 
  
 B. It is the parties express agreement and understanding that the provisions of this Agreement will not take effect unless there is a
Change of Control in First Community as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement. 
  
 C. The parties desire to amend
and restate the Original Agreement, as provided below. 
  
 AGREEMENT 
  

1.    Employment.    First Community hereby employs Employee and Employee hereby accepts employment, upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 2.    Term.    Subject to
the provisions for extension or earlier termination as provided below, the term of this Agreement shall commence upon a “Change of Control” (as defined in Section 13) and continue for three (3) years. 
  
 3.    Compensation. 
  
         3.1    For all services rendered by Employee under this Agreement, First Community shall pay Employee a base salary at the following
rates per calendar year commencing on the date of the Change of Control: 
  
 
	 Calendar Year
 
	    	 Yearly Salary
 

	 2002
 	    	 $130,200
 
	 2003
 	    	 $136,700
 
	 2004
 	    	 $143,500
 
	 2005
 	    	 $150,700
 

 
  

	

	

  
 

  
 Base salary shall be payable in equal semi-monthly installments (pro rated for
partial periods). 
  
         3.2    In addition to
Employee’s base salary, an Executive Profit Sharing Plan at the rate of 3.0% of the net pre-tax earnings of First Community during each calendar year of the duration of this Agreement shall be paid Employee as hereinafter provided. A copy of
the current Executive Profit Sharing Plan is attached hereto as Attachment A and is incorporated by reference. First Community and its successors and assigns agree to abide by this Executive Profit Sharing Plan. The term “net pre-tax
earnings” as used in this Agreement shall mean the consolidated net pre-tax earnings of First Community. In computing net pre-tax earnings, no deductions shall be taken or allowances made for (i) federal or state income taxes paid or accrued,
or for (ii) Executive Profit Sharing Plans paid by First Community to Employee, as the President of First Community, pursuant to this Agreement and to any other employees who participate in the Executive First Community Profit Sharing Plan.
Executive Profit Sharing Plan due Employee during each year of the term of this Agreement shall be finally determined as of, and shall accrue and become vested on, December 31, of each year. The Executive Profit Sharing Plan provided in this Section
3.2 shall be payable as follows: 
  
                  3.2.1    As soon as the annual audited financial statements prepared by First Community’s independent
public accountants are available, Employee’s Executive Profit Sharing Plan for the preceding fiscal year will be finally determined. Upon First Community’s final determination of Employee’s Executive Profit Sharing Plan, it shall be
paid promptly to Employee. It is the parties express agreement that Employee is a salaried exempt and executive employee and accordingly, the Employee’s Executive Profit Sharing Plan is not subject to the Fair Labor Standard Act and/or its
equivalent embodied in the Virginia Code at § 40.1-29. 
  
                  3.2.2    In the event that Employee resigns at any time during the life of this Agreement, Employee will not be
entitled to any Executive Profit Sharing Plan payments or any pro rated portion thereof not yet calculated. 
  
         3.3    Nothing in Sections 3.1 or 3.2 above is to be interpreted as restricting or limiting the power of the Board of Directors to authorize and direct giving any
First Community employee, from time to time, such additional compensation, Executive Profit Sharing Plans or other incentives as the Board may deem appropriate. 
  
 4.    Duties.    Employee is engaged as President of First Community. Employee shall retain the “same or equivalent employment.” “Same or
equivalent employment” shall mean employment with the same or equivalent position, employment benefits, pay and other terms and conditions of employment. Factors to consider may include whether there are substantially similar duties and
responsibilities, which must entail substantially equivalent skill, effort, responsibility and authority; the same type of appointment work schedule, status and tenure; the same employment benefits made available to the Employee (e.g. life
insurance, health benefits, retirement coverage, and leave accrual). If Employee is elected or appointed an officer or director of TFCEI and/or its subsidiaries, Employee will serve in such capacity without further compensation except out-of-pocket
expenses not otherwise reimbursed by First Community. 
 

 2 

  
 5.    Extent of
Services.    Employee shall devote his full time, best efforts, attention and energies to the business of First Community and its affiliates, and shall not, without prior consent of TFCE’s CEO, Board of Directors, or
First Community’s successor, directly or indirectly engage in any other business activity which materially interferes with Employee’s performance of Employee’s duties hereunder. This shall not be construed as preventing Employee from
investing Employee’s assets in such form or manner as will not require substantial time on the part of Employee in the affairs of the entities in which such investments are made, will not detract from the operation of First Community and are
not reasonably expected to cause conflicts of interest to arise. 
  
 6.    Disclosure of
Confidential Information and Consent Not to Compete.    Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the identities of First Community’s customers, business or financial contracts, agreements, techniques, practices, plans
or other “trade secrets,” such as may exist from time to time, are a valuable, special and unique asset of First Community’s business. 
  
         6.1    Employee hereby agrees Employee will not, during or for a period of two (2) years after the term of Employee’s
employment, disclose First Community’s trade secrets or any part thereof not of public record or generally known otherwise to any unaffiliated person, firm, corporation, association or other entity without First Community’s prior consent
unless such disclosure is required by law or governmental regulation(s). Employee hereby further agrees that, during and for a period of two (2) years after the term of this Agreement, Employee will not use any of First Community’s trade
secrets, directly or indirectly, for Employee’s or any third party’s benefit or use in any business endeavor not affiliated with First Community. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of the provisions of this Section,
First Community shall be entitled to an injunction, without the necessity of posting bond, restraining Employee from disclosing, in whole or in part, First Community’s trade secrets, or from utilizing them for his benefit or that of any
unaffiliated person, firm, corporation, association or other entity to whom such information, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting First Community from pursuing
any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages. 
  
         6.2    Employee agrees that subsequent termination of Employee’s employment for whatever reason, Employee will not directly or indirectly, individually or as an
owner, employee, partner, officer, director or stockholder, advisor, consultant or independent contractor, compete against Employer in the Employer’s market areas pursuant to the following schedule. 
  
                 (a)    Employee’s
covenant not-to-compete cannot exceed the remaining time left in the Agreement’s payout period. It is understood that at the end of this Agreement, or payout period, Employee will not be subject to a covenant not-to-compete. 

 
                 6.2.1    For purposes of this Agreement, “compete” means to be employed by or to provide services to any
entity which is in the business of direct consumer lending and financing sub-prime motor vehicles. The term “sub-prime” shall be governed by the industry definition. For purposes of this Agreement, “market areas” means those
areas set out in Attachment B to this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that this Agreement is reasonable 
 

 3 

  
 based upon his position with Employer, is not an unreasonable restraint, and will not affect Employee
from being employed in a job of equivalent pay and benefits. 
  
         6.3    Employee agrees that for a period of three (3) years from the termination of employment, for whatever reason, Employee will not directly or indirectly,
individually or as owner, employee, officer, director or stockholder, advisor, consultant, or independent contractor solicit any person employed by Employer. 
  
         6.4    Employee and Employer agree that in case of a breach of the provisions contained in Section 6 of this Agreement, damages will
be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Accordingly, Employer and Employee, through a process of arms length negotiation, have established a sum and liquidated damages for each separate violation in the amount of $10,000. A violation for
purposes of this Agreement is each occurrence of Employee purchasing a contract as defined in Paragraph 6.2.1. By signing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges that this amount is not a penalty, that the amount is reasonable, and that Employee is
waiving any right to contest the reasonableness of the amount of liquidated damages or that the liquidated damages are against public policy. 
  
         6.5    Employee agrees that if Employee violates the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement, that in addition to the relief
authorized in this Agreement, the Employer will also be entitled to actual damages to the extent that the actual damages can be established and exceed the amount of liquidated damages, any and all equitable relief, including an injunction without
the necessity of posting a bond, and the Employer’s costs of litigation, including attorney’s fees and costs. 
  
 7.    Expenses.    Upon the presentation of an itemized accounting and the submission of supporting vouchers, Employee shall be promptly reimbursed for all reasonable and necessary
expenses incurred by him in the promotion of the business of First Community and its affiliates. First Community shall furnish Employee an automobile for Employee’s personal and business use and shall pay all reasonable expenses for the
operation and maintenance of said automobile. Gasoline for personal use within a 50-mile radius of Employee’s home office will be paid by First Community. 
  
 8.    Benefits.    First Community will continue to provide employee any such other benefits as Employee now has and that may be additionally approved for
First Community’s employees generally or its senior executives. First Community agrees that it will maintain Employee’s health benefits, both employee cost and benefits, at its current level or an equivalent level. A copy of the current
health insurance plan is attached hereto as Attachment C. Employee shall be entitled each year to a vacation of four (4) weeks during which time Employee compensation shall continue in full. Said vacation may be taken incrementally unless
otherwise directed by the CEO. 
  
 9.    Disability.    If Employee is
unable to perform Employee’s duties hereunder by reason of medical incapacity for a consecutive period of not more than six (6) months, Employee shall be entitled to Employee’s regular compensation (including Executive Profit Sharing Plans
and all other elements thereof) during the period of such incapacity. In the event that such medical incapacity exceeds six (6) consecutive months in duration, Employee’s base salary and 
 

 4 

  
 Executive Profit Sharing Plan payable under this Agreement may, after the initial six (6) consecutive
months period, be reduced by fifty percent (50%), provided Employee’s full base salary and Executive Profit Sharing Plan shall be reinstated subject to the terms of this Agreement upon Employee’s return to employment and to the discharge
of Employee’s full duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, First Community may terminate this Agreement at anytime after Employee shall be unable to perform his duties, for whatever cause, for a continuous period of
more than twelve (12) months or for a total of 275 business days during any rolling 18-month period, and all obligations of First Community hereunder shall cease upon any such termination. In addition, any such Executive Profit Sharing Plan actually
paid to Employee pursuant to Section 3.2 and this Section 9 shall be deemed to vest on the last day of the month that is the sixth month in which Employee has suffered a medical incapacity. It is expressly agreed by the parties that any amounts owed
to Employee in salary, Executive Profit Sharing Plans and benefits during the disability period will be offset by any payments made to Employee under the First Community’s disability policy. 
  

10.    Termination 
  
         10.1.    For Cause.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, First Community reserves the right to terminate
Employee’s employment, without notice, for cause and such termination shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by First Community. As used herein, any one or more of the following shall constitute cause: (i) fraud, misappropriation,
embezzlement or similar wrongful acts to or against First Community or its affiliates; (ii) conviction of a felony or engaging in conduct involving moral turpitude, provided such conviction or conduct is reasonably expected to affect First
Community’s, TFCEI’s or The Finance Company’s ability to engage in their businesses or is reasonably expected to materially affect the good name of First Community, TFCEI and/or its subsidiaries; (iii) unless medically incapacitated,
Employee is demonstrably unable, or Employee is grossly negligent in the performance of his office and such other duties as may be assigned to him by First Community’s CEO or First Community Board from time to time after Employee has been
provided with thirty (30) days written notice and an opportunity to cure the problem(s) or; (iv) Employee’s violation of any provision of this Agreement. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to provisions (i), (ii) or (iv) of
this subsection, Employee shall be entitled to only such unpaid base salary as shall have accrued as of the date of his termination, together with any Executive Profit Sharing Plans that would become payable on such date had First Community’s
fiscal year then terminated. If Employee is terminated, pursuant to provision (iii) of this Subsection, in addition to Employee’s Executive Profit Sharing Plan payments, Employee will also be entitled to a payment of an additional six (6)
months salary and the payment of COBRA for six (6) months. These payments shall be made to Employee at the time First Community distributes payroll checks to its other Employees. 
  
         10.2.        Not For Cause.    Employee, pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement, may at any time upon the giving of 30-days notice be terminated not for cause. If Employee is terminated not for cause, Employee shall be entitled to all compensation, benefits and bonuses due under Section 3 of this
Agreement for the remainder of this Agreement. Such payments shall be paid to Employee as all salary, bonuses and profit sharing are made to First Community’s Employees. 
 

 5 

         10.3.    Constructive
Discharge.    If Employee is ready, willing and able to work and First Community, for whatever reason, does not utilize the services of Employee for substantially the same professional duties for a total period of ninety (90)
days during the life of this Agreement or elects to transfer Employee outside the Greater Richmond, Virginia metropolitan area and Employee is unable to transfer for any reason, Employee will be entitled to all salary, Executive Profit Sharing
Plans, and benefits as provided in Section 10.2 of this Agreement. 
  
         10.4.    Excise Tax Under Section 4999.    Employee understands that the payments Employee receives under this or other agreements,
individually or combined, may be subject to an excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, if at any time, it is determined that any payments to Employee under this Agreement would be subject to such excise tax,
the payments to Employee under this Agreement shall be reduced by any amount sufficient to eliminate the excise tax but only if the result is to give the Employee a larger after-tax return than if such payments were not reduced. The Employee shall
have the right to designate which payments shall be reduced. 
  
 11.    Death During
Employment. 
  
         11.1    If Employee dies
during the term of Employee’s employment, First Community shall pay to Employee’s estate the compensation (including Executive Profit Sharing Plans and all other elements thereof) which would otherwise be accrued by Employee through the
end of the month in which Employee’s death occurs. In addition, the Company will pay Employee’s estate the compensation and Executive Profit Sharing Plan payments for an additional six-month period following Employee’s death. The
Executive Profit Sharing Plan payable hereunder shall be payable through the month of the Employee’s death calculated on an unaudited basis. 
  
         11.2    First Community reserves the right to insure the life of Employee for all or any part of the payments which it anticipates
would be payable pursuant to Section 11.1; however, no benefits payable to Employee’s survivors or estate under any group life insurance program provided by First Community shall be deemed to be any part of the payments due under Section 11.1
above. 
  
 12.    Arbitration.    Any controversy or claim arising out
of, or relating to this Agreement, or any breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules then pertaining of the American Arbitration Association or other alternative dispute resolution means the parties may then agree
upon, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction hereof and the parties. In the event that Employee’s employment is finally determined to have been not for cause, constructive discharge or without
notice and an opportunity to cure as provided in Section 10.1(iii), Employee shall be paid any and all payments due and owing pursuant to Section 10.1(iii), 10.2 or 10.3 as the case may be. 
  
 13.    Change of Control.    A “Change of Control” of TFCEI and First Community shall be deemed to have occurred
upon the happening of any of the following events: 
 

 6 

  
         13.1    The
acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of either the then
outstanding shares of common stock of TFCEI or First Community or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of TFCEI or First Community entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, but excluding, for this
purpose, any such acquisition by TFCEI or any of its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company, or any corporation with respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of, respectively, the then
outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the common stock and voting securities of TFCEI or First Community immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the
same proportion as their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of then outstanding shares of common stock of TFCEI or First Community or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of TFCEI or First Community
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be; 
  
         13.2    Approval by TFCEIs’ or First Community’s shareholders of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of TFCEI or First Community, in each case, with
respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the common stock and voting securities of TFCEI or First Community immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, or of a complete liquidation or dissolution of TFCEI or First Community or
of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of TFCEI or First Community. 
  
 14.    Notices.    Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing, and personally or electronically delivered or if sent by certified
mail to his residence in the case of Employee, or to its principal office in the case of First Community. 
  
 15.    Waiver of Breach.    The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach by the waiving party. 
  
 16.    Assignment.    The rights and
obligations of Employee under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of First Community; however, no assignment of rights, powers or benefits by Employee shall be binding upon First
Community without the consent of the Board of Directors. 
  
 17.    Affiliated
Entities.    Any business entity which is fifty-one percent (51%) or more owned by First Community or TFCEI shall be deemed to be an “affiliate” for purposes of this Agreement.

 18.    Entire Agreement.    This
Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties. It may not be changed orally but only an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought. Furthermore,
this Agreement supercedes any prior severance agreements between Employee and First Community.

“Same or equivalent employment” shall mean employment with the same or equivalent position, employment benefits, pay and other terms and conditions of employment. Factors to consider may include whether there are substantially similar

life insurance, health benefits, retirement coverage, and leave accrual). If Employee is elected or appointed an officer

compensation except out-of-pocket expenses not otherwise reimbursed by Finance. 
  
 5.    Extent of Services.    Employee shall devote Employee’s full time, best efforts, attention and energies to the business of Finance and its affiliates, and shall not, without
prior consent of Finance’s CEO, Board of Directors, or Finance’s successor, directly or indirectly engage in any other business activity which materially interferes with Employee’s performance of Employee’s duties hereunder. This
shall not be construed as preventing Employee from investing Employee’s assets in such form or manner as will not require substantial time on the part of Employee in the affairs of the entities in which such investments are made, will not
detract from the operation of Finance and are not reasonably expected to cause conflicts of interest to arise.

       6.1    Employee hereby agrees Employee will not, during or for a period of two (2) years after the term
of Employee’s employment, disclose Finance’s trade secrets or any part thereof not of public record or generally known otherwise to any unaffiliated person, firm, corporation, association or other entity without Finance’s prior
consent unless such disclosure is required by law or governmental regulation(s). Employee hereby further agrees that, during and for a period of two (2) years after the term of this Agreement, Employee will not use any of Finance’s trade
secrets, directly or indirectly, for Employee’s or any third party’s benefit or use in any business endeavor not affiliated with Finance. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of the provisions of this Section, Finance
shall be entitled to an injunction, without the necessity of posting bond, restraining Employee from disclosing, in whole or in part, Finance’s trade secrets, or from utilizing them for Employee’s benefit or that of any unaffiliated
person, firm, corporation, association or other entity to whom such information, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Finance from pursuing any other remedies

owner, employee, partner, officer, director or stockholder, advisor, consultant or independent contractor compete against Employer in the Employer’s market areas pursuant to the following schedule. 
  
                 (a)  Employee’s covenant
not-to-compete cannot exceed the remaining time left in the Agreement’s payout period. It is understood that at the end of this Agreement, or payout period, Employee will not be subject to a covenant not-to-compete. 
  
                 6.2.1    For purposes
of this Agreement, “compete” means to be employed by or to provide services to any entity which is in the business of financing sub-prime motor vehicles. The term “sub-prime” shall be governed by the industry definition. For
purposes of this Agreement, “market areas” means those areas set out in Attachment B to this Agreement.

 Employee acknowledges that this Agreement is reasonable based upon Employee’s position with
Employer, is not an unreasonable restraint, and will not affect Employee from being employed in a job of equivalent pay and benefits. 
  
        6.3    Employee agrees that for a period of three (3) years from the termination of employment, for whatever reason, Employee will not directly or indirectly,
individually or as owner, employee, officer, director or stockholder, advisor, consultant, or independent contractor solicit any person employed by Employer. 
  
        6.4    Employee and Employer agree that in case of a breach of the provisions contained in Section 6 of this Agreement, damages will be
difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Accordingly, Employer and Employee, through a process of arms length negotiation, have established a sum and liquidated damages for each separate violation in the amount of $10,000. A violation for
purposes of this Agreement is each occurrence of Employee purchasing a contract as defined in Paragraph 6.2.1. By signing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges that this amount is not a penalty, that the amount is reasonable, and that Employee is
waiving any right to contest the reasonableness of the amount of liquidated damages or that the liquidated damages are against public policy. 
  
        6.5    Employee agrees that if Employee violates the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement, that in addition to the relief authorized
in this Agreement, the Employer will also be entitled to actual damages to the extent that the actual damages can be established and exceed the amount of liquidated damages, any and all equitable relief, including an injunction without the necessity
of posting a bond, and the Employer’s costs of litigation, including attorney’s fees and costs. 
  
 7.    Expenses.    Upon the presentation of an itemized accounting and the submission of supporting vouchers, Employee shall be promptly reimbursed for all reasonable and necessary
expenses incurred by Employee in the promotion of the business of Finance and its affiliates. Finance shall furnish Employee an automobile for Employee’s personal and business use and shall pay all reasonable expenses for the operation and
maintenance of said automobile. Gasoline for personal use within a 50-mile radius of the Employee’s home office will be paid by Finance. 
  
 8.    Benefits.    Finance will continue to provide Employee any such other benefits as Employee now has and that may be additionally approved for
Finance’s employees generally or its senior executives. Finance agrees that it will maintain Employee’s health benefits, both employee cost and benefits, at its current level or an equivalent level. A copy of the current health insurance
plan is attached hereto as Attachment C. Employee shall be entitled each year to a vacation of four (4) weeks during which time Employee’s compensation shall continue in full. Said vacation may be taken incrementally unless otherwise
directed by the CEO. 
  
 9.    Disability.    If Employee is unable to
perform Employee’s duties hereunder by reason of medical incapacity for a consecutive period of not more than three (3) months, Employee shall be entitled to Employee’s regular compensation (including Executive Profit Sharing Plans and all
other elements thereof) during the period of such incapacity. In the event that such medical incapacity exceeds three (3) consecutive months in duration, Employee’s base 
 

 4 

  
 salary and Executive Profit Sharing Plan payable under this Agreement may, after the initial three (3)
consecutive months period, be reduced by fifty percent (50%), provided Employee’s full base salary and Executive Profit Sharing Plan shall be reinstated subject to the terms of this Agreement upon Employee’s return to employment and to the
discharge of Employee’s full duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Finance may terminate this Agreement at anytime after Employee shall be unable to perform Employee’s duties, for whatever cause, for a
continuous period of more than six (6) months or for a total of 190 business days during any rolling 18-month period, and all obligations of Finance hereunder shall cease upon any such termination. In addition, any such Executive Profit Sharing Plan
actually paid to Employee pursuant to Section 3.2 and this Section 9 shall be deemed to vest on the last day of the month that is the sixth month in which Employee has suffered a medical incapacity. It is expressly agreed by the parties that any
amounts owed to Employee in salary, Executive Profit Sharing Plans and benefits during the disability period will be offset by any payments made to Employee under the Finance’s disability policy. 
  
 10.    Termination 
  
        10.1.    For Cause.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Finance reserves the right to
terminate Employee’s employment, without notice, for cause and such termination shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by Finance. As used herein, any one or more of the following shall constitute cause: (i) fraud, misappropriation,
embezzlement or similar wrongful acts to or against Finance or its affiliates; (ii) conviction of a felony or engaging in conduct involving moral turpitude, provided such conviction or conduct is reasonably expected to affect Finance’s,
TFCEI’s or its subsidiaries’ ability to engage in their businesses or is reasonably expected to materially affect the good name of Finance, TFCEI and/or its subsidiaries; (iii) unless medically incapacitated, Employee is demonstrably
unable, or Employee is grossly negligent in the performance of Employee’s office and such other duties as may be assigned to Employee by Finance’s CEO or Finance Board from time to time after Employee has been provided with thirty (30)
days written notice and an opportunity to cure the problem(s) or; (iv) Employee’s violation of any provision of this Agreement. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to provisions (i), (ii) or (iv) of this subsection, Employee
shall be entitled to only such unpaid base salary as shall have accrued as of the date of Employee’s termination, together with any Executive Profit Sharing Plans that would become payable on such date had Finance’s fiscal year then
terminated. If Employee is terminated, pursuant to provision (iii) of this Subsection, in addition to Employee’s Executive Profit Sharing Plan payments, Employee will also be entitled to a payment of an additional six (6) months salary and the
payment of COBRA for six (6) months. These payments shall be made to Employee at the time Finance distributes payroll checks to its other Employees. 
  
        10.2.    Not For Cause.    Employee, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, may at any time upon the giving of
30-days notice be terminated not for cause. If Employee is terminated not for cause, Employee shall be entitled to all compensation, benefits and bonuses due under Section 3 of this Agreement for the remainder of this Agreement. Such payments shall
be paid to Employee as all salary, bonuses and profit sharing are made to Finance’s Employees. 
 

 5 

          10.3.    Constructive
Discharge.    If Employee is ready, willing and able to work and Finance, for whatever reason, does not utilize the services of Employee for substantially the same professional duties for a total period of ninety (90) days
during the life of this Agreement or elects to transfer Employee outside the Hampton Roads Virginia area and Employee is unable to transfer for any reason, Employee will be entitled to all salary, Executive Profit Sharing Plans, and benefits as
provided in Section 10.2 of this Agreement. 
  
          10.4.    Excise Tax Under Section 4999.    Employee understands that the payments Employee receives under this or other agreements,
individually or combined, may be subject to an excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, if at any time, it is determined that any payments to Employee under this Agreement would be subject to such excise tax,
the payments to Employee under this Agreement shall be reduced by any amount sufficient to eliminate the excise tax but only if the result is to give the Employee a larger after-tax return than if such payments were not reduced. The Employee shall
have the right to designate which payments shall be reduced. 
  
 11.    Death During
Employment. 
  
          11.1    If Employee
dies during the term of Employee’s employment, Finance shall pay to Employee’s estate the compensation (including Executive Profit Sharing Plans) which would otherwise be accrued by Employee through the end of the month in which
Employee’s death occurs. In addition, the Company will pay Employee’s estate the compensation and the Executive Profit Sharing Plan payments for an additional three-month period following Employee’s death. The Executive Profit Sharing
Plan payable hereunder shall be payable through the month of the Employee’s death calculated on an unaudited basis. 
  
          11.2    Finance reserves the right to insure the life of Employee for all or any part of the payments which it anticipates would be payable pursuant to Section
11.1; however, no benefits payable to Employee’s survivors or estate under any group life insurance program provided by Finance shall be deemed to be any part of the payments due under Section 11.1 above. 
  
 12.    Arbitration.    Any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to this
Agreement, or any breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules then pertaining of the American Arbitration Association or other alternative dispute resolution means the parties may then agree upon, and judgment upon
the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction hereof and the parties. In the event that Employee’s employment is finally determined to have been not for cause, constructive discharge or without notice and an opportunity to
cure as provided in Section 10.1(iii), Employee shall be paid any and all payments due and owing pursuant to Section 10.1(iii), 10.2 or 10.3 as the case may be. 
  
 13.    Change of Control.    A “Change of Control” of TFCEI shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events:

  
          13.1    The acquisition by any
individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning 
 

 6 

  
 of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of either the then outstanding shares
of common stock of TFCEI or Finance or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of TFCEI or Finance entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, but excluding, for this purpose, any such acquisition by TFCEI or
any of its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company, or any corporation with respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such
corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the
individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the common stock and voting securities of TFCEI immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their ownership, immediately prior to such
acquisition, of then outstanding shares of common stock of TFCEI or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of TFCEI entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be; 
  
          13.2    Approval by TFCEIs’ shareholders of a
reorganization, merger or consolidation of TFCEI, in each case, with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the common stock and voting securities of TFCEI immediately
prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock or the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, or of a complete liquidation
or dissolution of TFCEI or of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of TFCEI. 
  
 14.    Notices.    Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing, and personally or electronically delivered or if sent by certified
mail to Employee’s residence in the case of Employee, or to its principal office in the case of Finance. 
  
 15.    Waiver of Breach.    The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach by the waiving party. 
  
 16.    Assignment.    The rights and
obligations of Employee under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Finance; however, no assignment of rights, powers or benefits by Employee shall be binding upon Finance without the
consent of the Board of Directors. 
  
 17.    Affiliated
Entities.    Any business entity which is fifty-one percent (51%) or more owned by Finance or TFCEI shall be deemed to be an “affiliate” for purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 18.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties. It
may not be changed orally but only an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought. Furthermore, this Agreement supercedes any prior severance agreements
between Employee and Finance.
