 THIS
AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is entered into as of December 21, 2009, by and between Heritage Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Bankshares”), Heritage Bank, a Virginia corporation, and Sharon
Curling Lessard (the “Executive”). 
 RECITALS 
 Bankshares, Bank and Executive previously entered into an Employment Agreement dated January 1, 2007 (“Employment
Agreement”), which has been amended subsequently; and 
 Bankshares, Bank and Executive desire to amend the Employment
Agreement as further provided herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties hereto and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy whereof each party hereby acknowledges, Bankshares, Bank and Executive hereby agree that effective January 1, 2009, the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read as
follows: 
  

	1.	A new paragraph is added to the end of Section 1(e) of the Employment Agreement, Change of Control, to read as follows: 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur under the Employment Agreement only to the extent any triggering
business transaction constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of Bankshares, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Bankshares, as determined under Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations issued
thereunder from time to time. 

	2.	A new sentence shall be added to the end of Section 7(b) to read as follows: 

 Such additional compensation and accrued and unused leave payments shall be paid in a single lump sum within 30 days from Executive’s
date of death. 
  

	3.	A new Section 19 is added to read as follows: 

 19. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 409A/CONTINUATION OF BENEFITS/REIMBURSEMENTS  
 This Agreement is intended to and shall comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. All references to a termination of employment and separation from service shall mean and be administered to

under this Agreement shall comply with Code Section 409A and shall be subject to the following requirements:

another taxable year, and 

  

	 	(b)	The reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made by December 31 following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. 

 The right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 If Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined under Code Section 409A) at the time of separation from service, to the
extent that any amount payable under this Agreement constitutes “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A (and is not otherwise excepted from Code Section 409A coverage by virtue of being considered “separation
pay” or a “short term deferral” or otherwise) and is payable to Executive based upon a separation from service (other than death or “disability” as defined under Code Section 409A), such amount shall not be paid until
the first day following the six-month anniversary of the employee’s separation from service. 
 Any right to a series of
installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments for purposes of Code Section 409A. 
 Payment of any unused vacation or sick leave, unless expressly provided otherwise herein shall be made in a single lump sum within 30 days of separation from service.

 3Executive Employment Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.21 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), effective the 20th day of November, 2007 is made by and between AssuranceAmerica Corporation, a Nevada corporation (together with its affiliated companies, the “Company”), and Mark Hain (“Associate”) (collectively, the
“Parties”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Associate and Associate desires to accept such employment with
the Company or any affiliate of the Company as set forth below; and, 
 WHEREAS, Associate will be employed in a position of
trust and confidence; and, 
 WHEREAS, Associate acknowledges that the Company has made a substantial investment in time and
resources in developing its business, services, products, and customer relationships and that it is a legitimate business interest of the Company to protect such investment and to retain the good will of its customers; and, 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Associate desire to set forth in writing all of the covenants, terms, and conditions of their agreement and
understanding as to such employment; and, 
 WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that Associate’s employment with (and
compensation and benefits from) the Company and access to the Company’s confidential information and trade secrets are conditioned upon and in consideration for the Company’s receipt of this Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual promises in this Agreement, and of other good and valuable
consideration, including such employment, compensation, benefits, and all other consideration to be provided to Associate, which considerations are acknowledged by Associate to be sufficient to support this Agreement and the covenants in this
Agreement, the Parties agree as follows: 
 1.    Employment and Duties.  The
Company employs Associate (and Associate accepts such employment) as Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary. Associate agrees to serve in such capacity and to perform such duties, responsibilities, and services that relate or are
incidental to such capacity and that are customary and consistent with Associate’s employment as Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary as may be reasonably requested and/or assigned to Associate from time to time by the
Company’s board of directors or officers. Associate also agrees to conduct all business in a lawful manner and in accordance with all duly authorized policies of the Company. 
 2.    Term.  Unless terminated sooner, this Agreement shall terminate on December 31, 2008 (the
“Initial Term”). This Agreement will be automatically extended by additional one-year terms beginning on January 1 of each year following the Initial Term unless either party, by written notice to the other at least 90 days prior to
December 31, causes this Agreement to cease to extend automatically. All post-termination obligations under Sections 5 and 6 shall survive termination of the Agreement. 
 3.    Compensation and Associate Benefits. 
 (a)    Base Salary.  Associate shall receive an annualized salary (the “Base Salary”) as
agreed to between the Associate and the Company as reflected in the records of the Company during the Term, which shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices and subject to any and all withholdings pursuant to
applicable law. 
 (b)    Incentive Compensation.  The Associate shall participate in a
bonus plan at the discretion of the board of directors, the CEO or the Chairman. 
 (c)    Stock
Incentives.  The Associate shall participate in such stock incentive plans as the board of directors, the CEO, or the Chairman shall determine from time to time. 
  

 -1- 

 (d)    Associate/Fringe Benefits.  The Associate shall
be eligible to participate in those standard Associate benefit programs and fringe Associate benefits (including but not limited to any and all medical/dental/other insurance plans or programs, paid vacation, etc.) generally made available to
officers of the Company, or if Associate shall so elect in writing, to other Associates of the Company, subject to any and all terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements for such programs and benefits, as may from time to time be prescribed by
the Company or a benefit plan provider. 
 (e)    Other Business Expenses.  During the term
of this Agreement, the Company shall also reimburse Associate for his actual out-of-pocket, business expenses that are incurred by Associate and are reasonable and necessary in relation to and in furtherance of Associate’s performance of his
duties to the Company. Such reimbursement shall be subject to compliance with the Company’s reimbursement policies and the provision of substantiating documents of such expenses as may be reasonably requested by the Company. 
 (f)    Cessation of Compensation/Benefits.  Except for any Associate benefits that continue or may
continue pursuant to applicable federal and state law, all compensation due to Associate and all other Associate/fringe benefits that the Company may provide to Associate from time to time shall immediately cease to accrue upon any termination of
Associate’s employment, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c). 
 (g)    Advances.  Associate acknowledges and agrees to repay to the Company any advance(s) made to the Associate promptly on demand by the Company for such repayment. Associate understands that the duty
to repay any such advance(s) shall apply regardless of when the advance(s) was made, for whatever purpose it was made, and whether or not it was expressly made repayable at the time. 
 4.    Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the term as
follows: 
 (a)    Death.  The Associate’s employment shall terminate automatically
upon Associate’s death. In such event, Associate’s estate shall be entitled to receive any earned and unpaid Base Salary, prorated through the date of death, as well as any other amounts (including incentive compensation, the calculation
of which shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) due in accordance with this Agreement. 
 (b)    For Cause.  The Company may terminate the Associate’s employment for Cause at any time upon notice to the Associate setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause. In the event
that the Company terminates Associate’s employment for Cause, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any salary or other compensation to the Associate after the effective date of termination, other than accrued and unpaid Base Salary earned
through the date of termination. As used in this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) the Associate’s repeated failure to perform, or gross negligence in the performance of, the material duties and responsibilities of his
employment and the continuance of such failure or gross negligence for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice to the Associate, which notice details, with reasonable specificity, such failure or gross negligence; (ii) material
breach by the Associate of any provision of this Agreement (and, in only those cases where such material breach is curable, the failure to cure such material breach within thirty (30) days after written notice to the Associate, which notice
details, with reasonable specificity, such material breach provided this notice is not required for a breach of Section 5 or 6); (iii) other conduct by the Associate that involves a material violation of law or breach of fiduciary
obligation on the part of the Associate that is materially harmful to the business, interests, reputation or prospects of the Company (in which case no opportunity to cure shall be provided); and (iv) any other conduct by the Associate that is
materially harmful to the business, interests, reputation or prospects of the Company (in which case no opportunity to cure shall be provided). 
 (c)    Without Cause.  The Company may terminate the Associate’s employment without Cause at any time upon notice to the Associate. In the event that the Company
terminates the Associate’s employment without cause at any time, the Company shall continue to pay the Associate’s Base Salary for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll practices, or on such other schedule as may be required by Section 8 hereof. The Company shall also pay the Associate’s COBRA premiums for the period during which the Company is required by this subsection to continue to pay
the Associate’s Base Salary. 
  

 -2- 

 (d)    Resignation.  If the Associate resigns, the
Company shall not be obligated to pay any salary or other compensation to the Associate after the effective date of the resignation, other than accrued and unpaid Base Salary earned through the date of resignation. 
 5.    Protective Covenants. 
 (a)    Confidential Information and Trade Secrets.  During Associate’s employment, the Parties acknowledge that Associate will have access to and otherwise make
use of, acquire, create, or add to, certain valuable, unique, proprietary, and secret information of the Company (whether tangible or intangible and whether or not electronically kept or stored), including financial information, financial
statements, drawings, designs, manuals, business plans, processes, procedures, formulas, inventions, pricing policies, customer and prospect lists and contacts, contracts, sources and identity of vendors and contractors, financial information of
customers and the Company, and other proprietary documents, materials, or information indigenous to the Company, its businesses and activities, or the manner in which the Company does business, which is valuable to the Company in conducting its
business because the information is kept confidential and is not generally known to the Company’s competitors or to the general public (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information if, and only
to the extent that it: (a) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the Associate; (b) was in the Associate’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure and had not been obtained by the Associate either
directly or indirectly from the Company; (c) is lawfully disclosed to the Associate by a third party without restriction on disclosure; (d) is independently developed by the Associate other than in his role as an Associate with the
Company; or (e) is disclosed by the Associate pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency, regulatory body or by operation of law, provided that the Associate shall disclose only that part of the Confidential Information which is
required to be disclosed and shall notify the Company prior to such disclosure in a timely fashion in order to permit the Company to attempt to prevent or restrict such disclosure should it so elect. 
 Associate acknowledges and agrees that to the extent that the Confidential Information rises to the level of a trade secret under applicable
law, then Associate shall, during Associate’s employment and for as long as such Confidential Information remains a trade secret (or for the maximum period of time allowed under applicable trade secret law), protect and maintain the
confidentiality of such trade secrets and refrain from disclosing, copying, or using any such trade secrets without the Company’s prior written consent, except as necessary in Associate’s performance of Associate’s duties while
employed with the Company. 
 To the extent that the Confidential Information defined above does not rise to the level of a
trade secret under applicable law, Associate will, during Associate’s employment and for a period of three (3) years following the date of any voluntary or involuntary termination of Associate’s employment, protect and maintain the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information and refrain from disclosing, copying, or using any Confidential Information without the Company’s prior written consent, except as necessary in Associate’s performance of Associate’s
duties while employed with the Company. 
 (b)    Return of Company Property.  Upon any
voluntary or involuntary termination of Associate’s employment and at any time upon request of the Company, Associate agrees to immediately return to the Company all property of the Company (including but not limited to all documents,
electronic files, records, computer disks or other tangible or intangible things that may or may not relate to or otherwise comprise Confidential Information or trade secrets (as defined by applicable law)) that Associate created, used, possessed or
maintained while working for the Company from whatever source and whenever created, including all reproductions or excerpts thereof. This provision does not apply to purely personal documents of Associate, but it does apply to business calendars,
business Rolodexes, customer lists, contact sheets, computer programs, disks and their contents and like information that may contain some personal matters of Associate. 
 (c)    Non-Diversion of Business Opportunity.  Consistent with Associate’s duties and fiduciary obligations to the Company, Associate agrees to disclose to the
Company any business opportunity that comes to Associate’s attention during Associate’s employment with the Company and that relates to the business of the Company.

  

 -3- 

 
Associate further agrees not to take advantage of or otherwise divert any such opportunity for Associate’s own benefit or that of any other person or entity during Associate’s
employment with the Company without the prior written consent of the Company. 
 (d)    Non-Solicitation
of Customers.  During Associate’s employment and for two (2) years following the date of any voluntary or involuntary termination of Associate’s employment, Associate agrees not to, directly or indirectly, contact,
solicit, divert, appropriate, or call upon with the intent of doing business with the customers or clients of the Company with whom Associate has had contact during the last year of Associate’s employment with the Company, including prospects
of the Company with whom Associate had contact during said period, if the purpose of such activity is either (1) to solicit these customers or clients or prospective customers or clients for a Competitive Business as herein defined (including
but not limited to any Competitive Business started by Associate) or (2) to otherwise encourage any such customer or client to discontinue, reduce, or adversely alter the amount of its business with the Company. Associate acknowledges that due
to Associate’s relationship with the Company, Associate will obtain access and information relating to the Company’s clients, and that it would be unfair and harmful to the Company if Associate took advantage of these relationships in a
Competitive Business. A “Competitive Business” is an enterprise that is in the property and casualty insurance business, whose services and/or products are similar or identical to those offered by the Company during Associate’s
employment with the Company. 
 (e)    Non-Piracy of Associates.  During Associate’s
employment and for two (2) years following the date of any voluntary or involuntary termination of Associate’s employment, Associate covenants and agrees that Associate shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, recruit or hire
(or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire) or otherwise assist anyone in soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Associate of the Company who performed work for the Company within the last year of Associate’s employment with the Company or who was
otherwise engaged or employed with the Company at the time of any voluntary or involuntary termination of Associate’s employment or (b) otherwise encourage, solicit, or support any such Associate(s) to leave their employment with the
Company, until such Associate’s employment with the Company has been voluntarily or involuntarily terminated or separated for at least six (6) months. 
 (f)    Acknowledgements.  It is understood and agreed by Associate that the terms and provisions of this Section (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are not
intended to restrict Associate in the exercise of Associate’s skills or the use of knowledge or information that does not rise to the level of a trade secret under applicable law or to the level of Confidential Information set forth above. It
is acknowledged and agreed that the purpose of the Restrictive Covenants is (and that such Restrictive Covenants are necessary) to prevent Associate from unfairly taking advantage of the contacts Associate has established while with the Company, the
Confidential Information, and Trade Secrets, and to protect the Company’s investment in and good will of its business (which the Parties acknowledge are legitimate business interests of the Company). Associate acknowledges the reasonableness of
these Restrictive Covenants and their respective limitations, given Associate’s position with the Company, and the Company’s business, and Associate agrees to strictly abide by the terms hereof. 
 6.    Work Product; Inventions. 
 (a)    Ownership by Company.  The Company shall own all right, title and interest in and to all work
product developed by the Associate in the Associate’s provision of services to the Company, including without limitation, all preliminary designs and drafts, all other works of authorship, all derivative works and patentable and unpatentable
inventions and improvements, all copies of such works in whatever medium such copies are fixed or embodied, and all worldwide copyrights, trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights in and to such works (collectively the “Work
Product”). All copyrightable materials of the Work Product shall be deemed a “work made for hire” for the purposes of U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., as amended (the “Copyright Act”). 
 (b)    Assignment and Transfer.  In the event any right, title or interest in and to any of the Work
Product (including without limitation all worldwide copyrights, trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights

  

 -4- 

 
therein) does and shall not vest automatically in and with the Company, Associate agrees to and hereby does irrevocably assign, convey, and otherwise transfer to the Company, and the
Company’s respective successors and assigns, all such right, title and interest in and to the Work Product with no requirement of further consideration from or action by Associate or the Company. 
 (c)    Registration Rights.  The Company shall have the exclusive worldwide right to register, in all
cases as “claimant” and when applicable as “author”, all copyrights in and to any copyrightable element of the Work Product, and file any and all applicable renewals and extensions of such copyright registrations. The Company
shall also have the exclusive worldwide right to file applications for and obtain (i) patents on and for any of the Work Product in Associate’s name and (ii) assignments for the transfer of the ownership of any such patents to the
Company. 
 (d)    Additional Documents.  Associate agrees to execute and deliver all
documents requested by the Company regarding or related to the ownership and/or other intellectual property rights and registrations specified herein. Associate further irrevocably designates and appoints the Company as Associate’s agent and
attorney-in-fact to act for and in Associate’s behalf and stead to execute, register and file any such assignments, applications, registrations, renewals and extensions and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the registration,
prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright or similar protections with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Associate. 
 7.    Injunctive Relief and Specific Performance.  Associate acknowledges that it would be difficult to calculate the Company’s damages from
Associate’s breach of Sections 5 and/or 6 and that money damages would therefore be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, upon such breach, Associate acknowledges that the Company may seek and shall be entitled to temporary, preliminary, and/or
permanent injunctive relief against Associate, and/or other appropriate orders to restrain such breach. Nothing in this provision shall limit the Company from seeking any other damages or relief provided by applicable law for breach of this
Agreement or any section or provision hereof. The Parties agree that the Company may obtain specific performance. 
 8.    Code Section 409A. 
 (a)    Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of Associate’s termination of employment, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to Associate by reason of such circumstance unless (i) the circumstances
giving rise to such termination of employment meet any description or definition of “separation from service” in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be
available under such definition), or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise. This provision
does not prohibit the vesting of any amount upon a termination of employment, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any amount or benefit, such payment or distribution shall be made on the date, if any, on
which an event occurs that constitutes a Section 409A-compliant “separation from service.” 
 (b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code would otherwise
be payable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of Associate’s separation from service during a period in which he is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company
under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes): 
 (i)    if the payment or distribution is payable in a lump sum, Associate’s right to receive
payment or distribution of such non-exempt deferred compensation will be delayed until the earlier of Associate’s death or the first day of the seventh month following Associate’s separation from service; and 
  

 -5- 

 (ii)    if the payment or distribution is payable over
time, the amount of such non-exempt deferred compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following Associate’s separation from service will be accumulated and Associate’s right to receive payment or
distribution of such accumulated amount will be delayed until the earlier of Associate’s death or the first day of the seventh month following Associate’s separation from service, whereupon the accumulated amount will be paid or
distributed to Associate and the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder (“Final 409A Regulations”), provided, however, that, as
permitted in the Final 409A Regulations, the Company’s Specified Employees and its application of the six-month delay rule of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be determined in accordance with rules adopted by the Board of Directors or a
committee thereof, which shall be applied consistently with respect to all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the Company, including this Agreement. 
 9.    Miscellaneous. 
 (a)    Associate Claims.  Associate acknowledges and agrees that the existence of any claim or cause of action against the Company shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of
Associate’s covenants, obligations, or undertakings in this Agreement. 
 (b)    Mutual
Non-disparagement.  The Company and the Associate agree that neither party will undertake any disparaging or harassing conduct directed at the other at any time during the term of the Agreement or following termination hereof.

 (c)    Associate’s Obligations Upon Termination/Separation.  Upon the termination
of Associate’s employment for whatever reason, Associate automatically tenders his resignation from any office Associate may hold with the Company, and Associate shall not at any time thereafter represent Associate still to be connected or to
have any connection with the Company or its related entities. 
 (d)    Assignment.  The
Company may assign this Agreement and the obligations of Associate hereunder without the consent of Associate. Due to the personal service nature of Associate’s obligations, Associate may not assign this Agreement, except the assignment of any
right to receive compensation or other payment. Subject to the restrictions in this Section, this Agreement shall also be binding upon and benefit the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, or assigns. 
 (e)    Legality and Severability.  The Parties agree that the provisions contained in this Agreement
are reasonable and are not known or believed to be in violation of any federal, state, or local law, rule, or regulation. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision (or subpart thereof) to be illegal or unenforceable, the
Parties agree that it shall be severed and the remaining clauses and Sections enforced in accordance with the tenor of this Agreement. Any illegal or unenforceable provision (or subpart thereof), or any modification by any court, shall not affect
the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue at all times to be valid and enforceable. 
 (f)    Entire Agreement; Modification.  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the Parties regarding the subject matters addressed and supersedes any prior oral or written
agreements, promises, representations, warranties, or inducements between or by the Parties. This Agreement can only be modified by a writing signed by both Parties. 
 (g)    Governing Law; Forum Selection.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions of
Georgia. In the event of any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parties expressly agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the appropriate state or federal court for Fulton County, State of Georgia, and waive any
defenses to this forum and venue selection. 
  

 -6- 

 (h)    Review and Voluntariness of
Agreement.  Associate acknowledges Associate has had an opportunity to read, review, and consider the provisions of this Agreement, that Associate has had an opportunity to consult with legal counsel, and has read and does understand
such provisions, and that Associate has voluntarily entered into this Agreement. 
 (i)    Non-Waiver.  The failure of the Company to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies will not be construed as a waiver by
the Company to assert or rely upon any such provision, right, or remedy in that or any other instance.

 ADDENDUM TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS ADDENDUM, made effective as of November 20, 2007, by and between AssuranceAmerica Corporation, a Nevada
corporation (together with its affiliates, the “Company”), and Mark Hain (“Associate”), supplements and amends that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of 20th day of November, 2007 by and between the Company and Associate (the “Employment Agreement”). 
 The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of Associate, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish
the inevitable distraction of Associate by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change in Control and to encourage Associate’s full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event
of any threatened or pending Change in Control, and to provide Associate with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change in Control which ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of Associate will be satisfied and which are
competitive with those of other corporations. Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has approved the Company to enter into this Addendum. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
 Upon the Effective Date (as
defined below), the following provisions shall automatically become effective and be deemed a part of the Employment Agreement. 
 1.    Certain Definitions. 
 (a)    The “Effective Date”
shall mean the first date during the Change in Control Period (as defined in Section 1(b)) on which a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2) occurs. Anything in this Addendum to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change in Control
occurs and if Associate’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by Associate that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a
third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Addendum, the “Effective Date” shall
mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment. 
 (b)    The “Change in
Control Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the day following the first anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, that commencing on the first anniversary of the date hereof, and on each subsequent
anniversary of the date hereof (each such anniversary shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Renewal Date”), unless previously terminated, the Change in Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate one year from such
Renewal Date, unless at least 30 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice to Associate that the Change in Control Period shall not be so extended. 
 (c)    The “Announcement Date” shall mean the first date of a public announcement of the event or transaction constituting a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2).

 2.    Change in Control.  For the purposes of this Addendum, a “Change in
Control” shall mean: 
 (a)    The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning
of Section l3(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of
either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote

  

 -9- 

 
generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not
constitute a Change in Control: (A) any acquisition by a Person who on the Effective Date was the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, (B) any acquisition directly from the Company, (C) any
acquisition by the Company, (D) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (E) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a
transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) of this Section 2; or 
 (b)    Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a
director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though
such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of
directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or 
 (c)    Consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in
each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and outstanding Company Voting Securities
immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and 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 Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business
Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business
Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination. 
 3.    Post-CIC Period.  The Company hereby agrees to continue Associate in its employ, and Associate
hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company subject to the terms and conditions of this Addendum, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of such date (the “Post-CIC Period”).

 4.    Terms of Employment.  During the Post-CIC Period, Associate’s employment
shall be governed by the existing terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement, as modified hereby. 
 (a)    Position and Duties.  During the Post-CIC Period, Associate’s position and duties shall be as prescribed under the existing terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement. 
 (b)    Compensation.  Notwithstanding any provisions in Section 3 of the Employment Agreement to
the contrary, the following provisions of Section 4(b) of this Addendum shall govern the compensation of Associate during the Post-CIC Period. 
  

 -10- 

 (i)    Base Salary.  During the Post-CIC Period,
Associate shall receive an annual base salary (“Annual Base Salary”), as provided in Section 3(a) of the Employment Agreement, but in no event shall such Annual Base Salary be decreased during the Post-CIC Period from Associate’s
annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Announcement Date. The term Annual Base Salary as used in this Addendum shall refer to Annual Base Salary as the same may have been increased from and after the Announcement Date. 

(ii)    Bonus.  In addition to Annual Base Salary, Associate shall be awarded, for each fiscal year
ending during the Post-CIC Period, a cash bonus opportunity (the “Target Bonus”) at least as favorable as that to which Associate could have been entitled under the bonus plan of the Company in effect for the last year prior to the
Effective Date. 
 (iii)    Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans.  During the Post-CIC
Period, Associate shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies (“Peer
Executives”). 
 (iv)    Welfare Benefit Plans.  During the Post-CIC Period,
Associate and/or Associate’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs (including, without limitation, any medical,
prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) (“Welfare Plans”) provided by the Company to the extent applicable generally to Peer Executives. 
 (v)    Expenses.  During the Post-CIC Period, Associate shall be entitled to receive prompt
reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by Associate in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company to the extent applicable generally to Peer Executives. 
 (vi)    Fringe Benefits.  During the Post-CIC Period, Associate shall be entitled to fringe benefits
in accordance with the plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company to the extent applicable generally to Peer Executives. 
 5.    Termination of Employment.  Notwithstanding any provisions in Section 2 or Section 4 of the Employment Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions of Section 5 of this
Addendum shall govern the method of termination of Associate’s employment during the Post-CIC Period. 
 (a)    Death or Disability.  Associate’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Associate’s death during the Post-CIC Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability
of Associate has occurred during the Post-CIC Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to Associate written notice of its intention to terminate Associate’s employment. In such event, Associate’s
employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by Associate (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, Associate shall not have returned to
full-time performance of Associate’s duties. For purposes of this Addendum, “Disability” shall mean the absence of Associate from Associate’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a
result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to Associate or Associate’s legal representative. 
 (b)    Cause.  The Company may terminate Associate’s employment during the Post-CIC Period for
Cause. For purposes of this Addendum, “Cause” shall mean: 
 (i)  the willful and continued failure of
Associate to perform substantially Associate’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and specifically excluding any failure by Associate, after reasonable efforts, to
meet performance expectations), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Associate by the Board or the Chief Executive

  

 -11- 

 
Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes that Associate has not substantially performed Associate’s duties and
such performance has not been corrected within thirty days of such notice, or 
 (ii)  the willful engaging by
Associate in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. 
 For purposes of this
provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of Associate, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Associate in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Associate’s action or omission was in
the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or a senior officer of the Company or based upon the
advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Associate in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of Associate shall not be deemed to be for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to Associate a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose
(after reasonable notice is provided to Associate and Associate is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the conduct of the Associate described in
subparagraph (i) or (ii) above has occurred, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 
 (c)    Good Reason.  Associate’s employment may be terminated by Associate for Good Reason. For purposes of this Addendum, “Good Reason” shall mean: 
 (i)  without the written consent of Associate, the Company’s failure to assign to Associate during the Post-CIC Period
significant authority, duties and responsibilities reasonably comparable to those in effect prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that a mere change in the nature or scope of Associate’s primary authority, duties and responsibilities
from those in effect prior to the Effective Date, or a change in Associate’s title or reporting relationships, shall not constitute Good Reason; or 
 (ii)  any failure by the Company to comply materially with the provisions of Section 4(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), or (vi) of this Addendum, other than an isolated, insubstantial
and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Associate; or 
 (iii)    without the written consent of Associate, the Company’s requiring Associate to be based at any office or location more than 35 miles from the office or location at which
Associate was based immediately prior to the Announcement Date; or 
 (iv)    any failure by the Company to
comply with and satisfy Section 10(c) of this Addendum; or 
 (v)    any other material breach of this
Addendum by the Company. 
 (d)    Notice of Termination.  Any termination by the Company
for Cause, or by Associate for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party given in accordance with this Addendum. For purposes of this Addendum, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which
(i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Addendum relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Associate’s
employment under the provision so indicated. In the case of resignation by Associate for Good Reason, the Notice of Termination must be given within 90 days after the event constituting Good Reason. The Company shall have 30 days from the receipt of
such notice within which to correct, rescind or otherwise substantially reverse the occurrence supporting termination for Good Reason as identified by Associate. If such event has not been cured within such 30-day period, the termination of
employment by Associate for Good Reason shall be

  

 -12- 

 
effective as of the expiration of such 30-day period. If the event of Good Reason is cured within such 30-day period, the Notice of Termination for Good Reason shall have no effect. Any dispute
as to whether a claimed event of Good Reason has been cured within the 30-day period shall be determined by a vote of the Board. 
 (e)    Date of Termination.  “Date of Termination” means (i) if Associate’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the date specified in the Notice of Termination,
(ii) if Associate’s employment is terminated by Associate for Good Reason, the date determined pursuant to Section 5(d) above, (iii) if Associate’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the date of death
or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be, and (iv) if Associate’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination, or any later date specified therein (which shall not be more
than 60 days after the date of delivery of the Notice of Termination). 
 6.    Obligations of the
Company upon Termination. Notwithstanding any provisions in Section 4 of the Employment Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions of Section 6 of this Addendum shall govern the termination benefits to Associate’s upon
termination of employment during the Post-CIC Period. 
 (a)    Good Reason; Other Than for Cause, Death
or Disability.  If, during the Post-CIC Period, the Company shall terminate Associate’s employment other than for Cause or Disability or Associate shall terminate employment for Good Reason, then in consideration for services
rendered by Associate prior to the Date of Termination and for Associate’s continued compliance with the covenants contained in Section 5 of the Employment Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”): 
 (i) the Company shall pay to Associate the following amounts: 
 A.    in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination, or such later payment date as may be required
by Section 12 hereof, the aggregate of the sum of (1) Associate’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not paid, (2) the product of (x) the Target Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365, and (3) any accrued vacation pay to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1),
(2) and (3) shall be referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”); and 
 B.    the amount
equal to one (1.0) times the sum of Associate’s Annual Base Salary and Target Bonus (the “Severance Payment”), which amount shall be payable in equal monthly installments over the twelve (12) months immediately following the
Date of Termination or such other schedule as may be required by Section 12 hereof; provided, however, that if at any time after the Date of Termination, Associate shall be found to be in violation of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company may,
in it sole discretion and in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, cease to pay any unpaid portion of the Severance Payment; and 
 (ii)    the Company shall continue to provide at its cost, for twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination (the “Welfare Benefits Continuation Period”), or such
longer period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, any group health benefits to which Associate and/or Associate’s eligible dependents would otherwise be entitled to continue under COBRA, or
benefits substantially equivalent to those group health benefits which would have been provided to them in accordance with the Welfare Plans described in Section 4(b)(iv) of this Addendum if Associate’s employment had not been terminated,
provided, however, that (i) if Associate becomes employed with another employer (including self-employment) and receives group health benefits under another employer provided plan, the Company’s obligation to provide group health
benefits described shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility, except as otherwise provided by law; (ii) that the Welfare Benefits Continuation Period shall run concurrently with any
period for which Associate is eligible to elect health coverage under COBRA; (iii) during the Welfare Benefits Continuation Period, the benefits provided in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of benefits to be provided in any
other calendar year; (iv) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made on or before December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; and (v) Associate’s rights pursuant to this
Section 6(a)(ii) shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.; and 
  

 -13- 

 (iii)    all of Associate’s outstanding Company stock options,
stock appreciation rights, and other awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully vested and exercisable as of the Date of Termination, and all restrictions on Associate’s outstanding awards of restricted stock of the
Company, if any, shall lapse as of the Date of Termination; and 
 (iv)    to the extent not paid or
provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to Associate any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which Associate is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the
Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be referred to as the “Other Benefits”). 
 (b)    Death or Disability.  If Associate’s employment is terminated by reason of Associate’s death or Disability during the Post-CIC Period, this Addendum shall terminate without further
obligations to Associate or Associate’s legal representatives under this Addendum, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations (as defined in Section 6(a)(i)(A) above) and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits (as defined in
Section 6(a)(iv) above). Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Associate or Associate’s legal representative, estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination, or such later date
payment as may be required by Section 12 hereof. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as used in this Section 6(b) shall include, without limitation, and Associate or Associate’s legal
representative, estate and/or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive, benefits under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death or disability, if any, as are applicable to Associate on the Date of Termination. 
 (c)    Cause or Voluntary Termination without Good Reason.  If Associate’s employment shall be
terminated for Cause during the Post-CIC Period, or if Associate voluntarily terminates employment during the Post-CIC Period without Good Reason, this Addendum shall terminate without further obligations to Associate, other than for payment of
Accrued Obligations (as defined in Section 6(a)(i)(A) above, but excluding the pro-rata bonus described in clause 2 thereof) and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits (as defined in Section 6(a)(iv) above). Accrued Obligations
shall be paid to Associate in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination, or such later date payment as may be required by Section 12 hereof. 
 7.    Non-exclusivity of Rights.  Nothing in this Addendum shall prevent or limit Associate’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or
practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which Associate may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as Associate may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of
its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which Associate is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or
subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Addendum. 
 8.    No Mitigation; Costs of Enforcement.  In no event shall Associate be obligated to seek other
employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Associate under any of the provisions of this Addendum and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Associate obtains other employment. The Company agrees to
pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses that Associate may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (but only to the extent that Associate is successful in at least a majority of the matters at issue in
such contest) by the Company, Associate or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Addendum (including as a result of any contest by Associate about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Addendum).
If Associate is entitled to be paid or reimbursed for any expenses under this Section 8, the amount reimbursable in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount reimbursable in any other calendar year, and the reimbursement of an eligible
expense must be made no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense was incurred. Associate’s rights pursuant to this Section 8 shall expire at the end of five years after the Date of Termination and shall
not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
  

 -14- 

 9.    Limitation of Benefits. 
 (a)    Notwithstanding anything in the Employment Agreement or this Addendum to the contrary, in the event it shall be
determined that any benefit, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Associate (whether payable or distributable pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, this Addendum or otherwise) (such benefits, payments or
distributions are hereinafter referred to as “Payments”) would, if paid, be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then
the aggregate present value of the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to an amount expressed in present value that maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing the Payments or any part thereof to be subject to
the Excise Tax and therefore nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code (the “Reduced Amount”). For purposes of this Section 9, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of
the Code. In the event, after the exhaustion of all remedies, it is necessary to reduce the Payments, Associate shall direct which Payments are to be modified or reduced. 
 (b)    All determinations required to be made under this Section 9, including whether an Excise Tax would otherwise be imposed, whether the Payments shall be reduced, the amount
of the Reduced Amount, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by the Company’s regular independent accounting firm at the expense of the Company or, at the election and expense of Associate, another
nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Associate within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Associate that a Payment
is due to be made, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Associate. As a
result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments hereunder will have been unnecessarily limited by this
Section 9 (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. The Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the
Company to or for the benefit of Associate together with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code, but no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the Underpayment is
determined to exist. 
 10.    Successors. 
 (a)    This Addendum is personal to Associate and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be
assignable by Associate otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Addendum shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Associate’s legal representatives. 
 (b)    This Addendum shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

 (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Addendum in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
place. As used in this Addendum, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Addendum by operation of law, or otherwise.

 11.    Miscellaneous. 
 (a)    This Addendum shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Georgia, without reference to
principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Addendum are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Addendum may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto
or their respective successors and legal representatives.

Addendum or the failure to assert any right Associate or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of Associate to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 5(c)(i)-(v) of this Addendum, shall

 (f)    Associate and the Company acknowledge that at all times prior to the Effective Date, the employment of Associate by the Company shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement and that

Associate, this Addendum may not be terminated by the Company during the Change of Control Period and before the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date this Addendum shall supersede any other agreement between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof. 
 12.    Code Section 409A. 
 (a)    Notwithstanding anything in this Addendum to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would
constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of Associate’s
termination of employment, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to Associate by reason of such circumstance unless (i) the circumstances giving rise to such termination of employment meet any description or definition of
“separation from service” in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition), or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount
or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise. This provision does not prohibit the vesting of any amount upon a termination of employment, however
defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any amount or benefit, such payment or distribution shall be made on the date, if any, on which an event occurs that constitutes a Section 409A-compliant “separation from
service.”

 (b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Addendum to the contrary, if any
amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Addendum by reason of Associate’s separation from service
during a period in which he is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of
interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes): 
 (i)    if the payment or
distribution is payable in a lump sum, Associate’s right to receive payment or distribution of such non-exempt deferred compensation will be delayed until the earlier of Associate’s death or the first day of the seventh month following
Associate’s separation from service; and 
 (ii)    if the payment or distribution is
payable over time, the amount of such non-exempt deferred compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following Associate’s separation from service will be accumulated and Associate’s right to
receive payment or distribution of such accumulated amount will be delayed until the earlier of Associate’s death or the first day of the seventh month following Associate’s separation from service, whereupon the accumulated amount will be
paid or distributed to Associate and the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume. 
 For purposes of this Addendum, the term “Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder (“Final 409A Regulations”),
provided, however, that, as permitted in the Final 409A Regulations, the Company’s Specified Employees and its application of the six-month delay rule of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be determined in accordance with rules
adopted by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which shall be applied consistently with respect to all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the Company, including this Addendum. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Associate has hereunto set Associate’s hand and, pursuant to the authorization from its Board of Directors, the
Company has caused these presents to be executed in its name on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.
