DUTCHFORK BANCSHARES, INC.
                            NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT

     This Noncompetition  Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of July
__,  2003,  by  and  between  DutchFork  Bancshares,  Inc.  (the  "Company"),  a
corporation  organized  under the laws of the State of Delaware  and the holding
company for Newberry  Federal  Savings  Bank (the  "Bank"),  with its  principal
offices at 1735 Wilson Road, Newberry,  South Carolina 29108, and Steve P. Sligh
(the "Executive").

     WHEREAS, the Executive is the Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief
Financial Officer of the Company and the Bank; and

     WHEREAS,  the parties hereto  acknowledge that Executive  occupies a unique
position of trust and confidence with respect to the Company and the Bank; and

     WHEREAS,  the parties further acknowledge that, by virtue of said position,
the Executive has acquired significant knowledge relating to the business of the
Company and the Bank; and

     WHEREAS,  the Board of Directors  recognizes  that  current  noncompetition
provisions of the Executive's  employment  agreement are insufficient to protect
the Company in the event of a termination of employment by the Executive; and

     WHEREAS,  the  Board of  Directors  has  determined  that it is in the best
interests  of the  Company and its  shareholders  to protect  the  business  and
goodwill associated with the Company and the Bank by strengthening  restrictions
on the Executive's ability to enter into certain competitive business activities
following a termination of employment; and

     WHEREAS, the Executive has agreed to accept such limitations on his ability
to compete with the Company and the Bank, in exchange for the  consideration  to
be provided by the Company hereunder.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing,  and for  good  and
valuable  consideration,   the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of  which  is  hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.  The  Executive  agrees  that,  upon  the  Executive's   termination  of
employment  within three years after the date of this  Agreement  for any reason
other  than a  Termination  for  Cause,  as  defined  in  Section 5 hereof,  the
Executive will not, directly or indirectly:

               (a) become a director, officer, employee, shareholder, principal,
          agent,  consultant or independent contractor of any insured depository
          institution,  trust  company  or parent  holding  company  of any such
          institution or company which

                                       2

          has an  office  in any  county,  city,  town  or  similarly  organized
          community  in which the Company or the Bank has an office or branch or
          has filed an  application  for  regulatory  approval to  establish  an
          office or branch,  or any other entity whose business in the aforesaid
          geographic  area materially  competes with the depository,  lending or
          other  business  activities of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries
          (in each case, a "Competing Business"),  provided,  however, that this
          provision   shall  not  prohibit  the  Executive  from  owning  bonds,
          non-voting  preferred  stock  or  up  to  five  percent  (5%)  of  the
          outstanding  common  stock of any such entity if such common  stock is
          publicly traded;

               (b) solicit or induce, or cause others to solicit or induce,  any
          employee  of the  Company  or any of its  subsidiaries  to  leave  the
          employment of such entities; or

               (c) solicit (whether by mail, telephone,  personal meeting or any
          other means) any customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to
          transact  business with any other  entity,  whether or not a Competing
          Business,  or to reduce or refrain  from doing any  business  with the
          Company or its  subsidiaries,  or interfere with or damage (or attempt
          to interfere with or damage) any  relationship  between the Company or
          its subsidiaries and any such customers.

     2. The Executive  hereby agrees to comply with the  provisions of Section 1
for a period of thirty-six  (36) months  following  the date of the  Executive's
termination of employment.

     3. In  consideration  of the  obligations  and commitments of the Executive
under this Agreement,  the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to
Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), with applicable withholding
taxes to be subtracted from such amount.  Payment shall be made in a lump sum on
the date of the Executive's termination of employment.

     4.  Notwithstanding  any other provision  hereof,  the Executive  agrees to
treat as confidential all information (excluding, however, information contained
in publicly available reports filed by the Company with any governmental  entity
and  information  published  or  disclosed  to  the  public  by a  third  party)
concerning the records, properties, books, contracts, commitments and affairs of
the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates,  including,  but not limited
to,  information  regarding  accounts,   shareholders,   finances,   strategies,
marketing,  customers and potential  customers (their  identities,  preferences,
likes and dislikes) and other  information  of a similar nature not available to
the public.

     5. No payments shall be made to the Executive under this Agreement upon the
Executive's   Termination  for  Cause.   "Termination   for  Cause"  shall  mean
termination of employment because of Executive's  personal  dishonesty,  willful
misconduct,  any breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional
failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule, regulation
(other than  traffic  violations  or similar  offenses),  final cease and desist
order or material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

                                       2

     6. No rights under this Agreement shall be assignable nor duties  delegable
by either party,  except that the Company may assign any of its rights hereunder
to any acquiror of all or substantially  all of the assets of the Company.  This
Agreement  will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the
Company  by merger  or  consolidation  or any other  change in form or any other
person or firm or entity to which all or  substantially  all of the  assets  and
business of the Company may be sold or otherwise transferred.  Nothing contained
in this  Agreement  is intended to confer upon any person or entity,  other than
the parties hereto, their successors in interest and permitted transferees,  any
rights or remedies  under or by reason of this  Agreement  unless  expressly  so
stated to the contrary.

     7. The parties hereto  expressly  agree and  acknowledge  that the terms of
this  Agreement  shall  supersede the  non-competition  provisions  contained in
Sections  9 and 10 of the  Employment  Agreement  between  the  Company  and the
Executive, dated as of June 29, 2000.

     8.  This  Agreement  shall  be  construed,   enforced  and  interpreted  in
accordance  with and  governed  by the laws of the  State of  Delaware,  without
reference  to its  principles  of  conflict  of laws,  except to the extent that
federal law shall be deemed to preempt such state laws.

     9. It is the  intention of the parties  hereto that the  provisions of this
Agreement  shall  be  enforced  to the  fullest  extent  permissible  under  all
applicable  laws and  public  policies,  but that  the  unenforceability  or the
modification  to conform with such laws or public  policies of any one provision
hereof shall not render  unenforceable or impair the remainder of the Agreement.
The  covenants in Section 1 of this  Agreement  with respect to  limitations  on
competition  by geographic  area shall be deemed to be separate  covenants  with
respect to each county, city, town or similarly organized community,  and should
any court of competent  jurisdiction conclude or find that this Agreement or any
portion thereof is not enforceable  with respect to any specific  county,  city,
town or similarly  organized  community,  such conclusion or finding shall in no
way render  invalid or  unenforceable  the covenants  herein with respect to any
other county, city, town or similarly organized community.  Accordingly,  if any
provision shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable  either in whole or
in part, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete or modify as necessary
the invalid or  unenforceable  provisions to alter the balance of this Agreement
in order to render the same valid and enforceable.

     10.  The  Executive  acknowledges  that any breach of this  Agreement  will
result in irreparable  damage to the Company for which the Company will not have
an  adequate  remedy at law.  In  addition  to any other  remedies  and  damages
available to the Company,  the Executive  further  acknowledges that the Company
shall be entitled to  injunctive  relief  hereunder to enjoin any breach of this
Agreement,  and the  parties  hereby  consent to an  injunction  in favor of the
Company by any court of competent  jurisdiction,  without prejudice to any other
right or remedy to which the Company may be entitled.  The Executive  represents
and  acknowledges  that,  in  light  of his  experience  and  capabilities,  the
Executive  can obtain  employment  with other than a Competing  Business or in a
business  engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature than those engaged
in by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and that the enforcement of
a remedy by way of  injunction  will not prevent the  Executive  from  earning a
livelihood.  In the

                                       3

<PAGE>

event of a breach of this Agreement by the Executive, the Executive acknowledges
that in addition to or in lieu of the Company  seeking  injunctive  relief,  the
Company  may also seek to recoup any or all  amounts  paid by the Company to the
Executive  pursuant to Section 3 hereof.  Each of the remedies  available to the
Company in the event of a breach by the Executive  shall be  cumulative  and not
mutually exclusive.

     11. If an action is  instituted  to enforce any of the  provisions  of this
Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover from
the losing party reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

Agreement, effective as of the date first above written.

                                Lifetime Benefits

     2.1 Normal Retirement Benefit.  Upon Termination of Service on or after the
Normal  Retirement  Age for reasons other than death,  the Bank shall pay to the
Director the benefit described in this Section 2.1 in lieu of any other Lifetime
Benefits under this Agreement.

          2.1.1 Amount of Benefit.  The annual benefit under this Section 2.1 is
     the Benefit Amount.

          2.1.2 Payment of Benefit. The Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the
     Director  in 12  equal  monthly  installments  commencing  with  the  month
     following the Director's  Normal Retirement Date, paying the annual benefit
     to the Director for a period of ten years.

     2.2 Early Termination Benefit.  Upon Early Termination,  the Bank shall pay
to the Director  the benefit  described in this Section 2.2 in lieu of any other
Lifetime Benefits under this Agreement.

          2.2.1  Amount of Benefit.  The benefit  under this  Section 2.2 is the
     Early Termination  Annual Benefit set forth in Schedule A for the Plan Year
     ending  immediately  prior to the Early Termination Date (except during the
     first  Plan  Year,  the  benefit  is the amount set forth for Plan Year 1),
     determined by multiplying  the Accrual  Balance set forth in Schedule A for
     the Plan Year ending immediately prior to the Early Termination Date by the
     Vesting  Percentage.  Any increase in the Benefit  Amount would require the
     recalculation  of the Early  Termination  Annual Benefit on Schedule A. The
     benefit is  determined  by  calculating  a one hundred  twenty  month fixed
     annuity from the vested Accrual Balance,  crediting  interest on the unpaid
     balance at an annual rate of eight percent, compounded monthly.

          2.2.2 Payment of Benefit. The Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the
     Director  in 12  equal  monthly  installments  commencing  with  the  month
     following  the Normal  Retirement  Age,  paying  the annual  benefit to the
     Director for a period of ten years.

     2.3  Disability   Benefit.  If  the  Director  terminates  service  due  to
Disability  prior to Normal  Retirement  Age,  other than  following a Change of
Control,  the Bank  shall pay to the  Director  the  benefit  described  in this
Section 2.3 in lieu of any other Lifetime Benefits under this Agreement.

          2.3.1  Amount of Benefit.  The benefit  under this  Section 2.3 is the
     Disability  Annual Benefit set forth in Schedule A for the Plan Year ending
     immediately  prior to the date in which the  Termination  of Service occurs
     (except during the first Plan Year, the benefit is the amount set forth for
     Plan Year 1),  determined  by vesting  the  Director  in 100 percent of the
     Accrual  Balance.  Any  increase in the Benefit  Amount  would  require the
     recalculation of the Disability  Annual Benefit on Schedule A. This benefit
     is determined by  calculating a one hundred twenty month fixed annuity from
     the Accrual Balance  crediting  interest on the unpaid balance at an annual
     rate of eight percent, compounded monthly.

     (except during the first Plan Year, the benefit is the amount set forth for
     Plan Year 1), determined by vesting the Director in the Benefit Amount. Any
     increase in the Benefit  Amount  would  require  the  recalculation  of the
     Change of Control Annual Benefit on Schedule A.

          2.4.2 Payment of Benefit. The Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the
     Director  in 12  equal  monthly  installments  commencing  with  the  month
     following  the Normal  Retirement  Age,  paying  the annual  benefit to the
     Director for a period of ten years.

                                    Article 3

receiving all such payments, the Bank shall pay the remaining Accrual Balance at
the time of the  Director's  death to the  Director's  beneficiary in a lump sum
within 90 days of the Director's death.

     3.3 Death After  Termination  of Service  But Before  Payment of a Lifetime
Benefit Commences.  If the Director is entitled to a Lifetime Benefit under this
Agreement, but dies prior to the commencement of said benefit payments, the Bank

                                   Article 4
                                  Beneficiaries

     4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Director shall designate a beneficiary by
filing a written  designation  with the Bank.  The Director may revoke or modify
the designation at any time by filing a new designation.  However,  designations
will only be effective if signed by the Director and received by the Bank during
the Director's lifetime. The Director's beneficiary  designation shall be deemed
automatically  revoked if the beneficiary  predeceases  the Director,  or if the
Director  names a  spouse  as  beneficiary  and  the  marriage  is  subsequently
dissolved.  If the Director dies without a valid  beneficiary  designation,  all
payments shall be made to the Director's estate.

     4.2  Facility of Payment.  If a benefit is payable to a minor,  to a person
declared  incompetent,  or to a person  incapable of handling the disposition of
his or her  property,  the Bank  may pay such  benefit  to the  guardian,  legal
representative  or person having the care or custody of such minor,  incompetent
person or incapable person. The Bank may require proof of incompetence, minority
or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.
Such  distribution  shall completely  discharge the Bank from all liability with
respect to such benefit.

                                    Article 5
                               General Limitations

     5.1 Suicide or Misstatement.  The Bank shall not pay any benefit under this
Agreement if the Director  commits  suicide within three years after the date of
this  Agreement.  In  addition,  the Bank shall not pay any  benefit  under this
Agreement  if the  Director  has made any  material  misstatement  of fact on an
employment application or resume provided to the Bank, or on any application for
any benefits provided by the Bank to the Director.

     5.2 Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary,  the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the
Bank terminates the Director's service for:

          (a) Gross negligence or gross neglect of duties;

          (b) Commission of a felony or of a gross  misdemeanor  involving moral
     turpitude; or

          (c)  Misconduct,  any  breach of  fiduciary  duty  involving  personal
     profit,  intentional  failure to perform stated duties or willful violation
     of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic violations) or final cease
     and desist order; or

          (d) A  significant  violation of Bank policy  committed in  connection
     with the Director's service and resulting in an adverse effect on the Bank.

received  benefits  under the Plan that he or she believes  should be paid shall
make a claim for such benefits as follows:

          6.1.1  Initiation - Written Claim.  The claimant  initiates a claim by
     submitting to the Bank a written claim for the benefits.

          6.1.2 Timing of Bank Response. The Bank shall respond to such claimant
     within 90 days after  receiving  the  claim.  If the Bank  determines  that
     special circumstances require additional time for processing the claim, the
     Bank can extend the response  period by an  additional 90 days by notifying
     the  claimant in writing,  prior to the end of the initial  90-day  period,
     that an  additional  period is required.  The notice of extension  must set
     forth the special  circumstances  and the date by which the Bank expects to
     render its decision.

          6.1.3 Notice of Decision. If the Bank denies part or all of the claim,
     the Bank shall  notify the  claimant  in writing of such  denial.  The Bank
     shall write the notification in a manner calculated to be understood by the
     claimant. The notification shall set forth:

          (a) The specific reasons for the denial,

          (b) A reference  to the specific  provisions  of the Plan on which the
     denial is based,

          (c) A description of any additional  information or material necessary
     for the  claimant  to  perfect  the claim and an  explanation  of why it is
     needed,

          (d) An explanation of the Plan's review procedures and the time limits
     applicable to such procedures, and

          (e) A statement of the claimant's  right to bring a civil action under
     ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on review.

     6.2 Review  Procedure.  If the Bank  denies  part or all of the claim,  the
claimant  shall have the  opportunity  for a full and fair review by the Bank of
the denial, as follows:

          6.2.1  Initiation  - Written  Request.  To initiate  the  review,  the
     claimant,  within 60 days after receiving the Bank's notice of denial, must
     file with the Bank a written request for review.

          6.2.2 Additional  Submissions - Information Access. The claimant shall
     then have the opportunity to submit written  comments,  documents,  records
     and other  information  relating to the claim.  The Bank shall also provide
     the claimant,  upon request and free of charge,  reasonable  access to, and
     copies  of, all  documents,  records  and other  information  relevant  (as
     defined  in  applicable  ERISA  regulations)  to the  claimant's  claim for
     benefits.

          6.2.3  Considerations on Review.  In considering the review,  the Bank
     shall take into account all materials and information the claimant  submits
     relating  to the claim,  without  regard to whether  such  information  was
     submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

          6.2.4 Timing of Bank  Response.  The Bank shall  respond in writing to
     such claimant within 60 days after receiving the request for review. If the
     Bank  determines  that special  circumstances  require  additional time for
     processing  the  claim,  the Bank can  extend  the  response  period  by an
     additional 60 days by notifying  the claimant in writing,  prior to the end
     of the initial 60-day period,  that an additional  period is required.  The
     notice of extension must set forth the special  circumstances  and the date
     by which the Bank expects to render its decision.

          6.2.5  Notice of  Decision.  The Bank  shall  notify the  claimant  in
     writing of its decision on review. The Bank shall write the notification in
     a manner  calculated to be understood  by the  claimant.  The  notification
     shall set forth:

               (a) The specific reasons for the denial,

               (b) A reference to the specific  provisions  of the Plan on which
          the denial is based,

               (c) A statement  that the  claimant is entitled to receive,  upon
          request and free of charge,  reasonable  access to, and copies of, all
          documents,  records  and other  information  relevant  (as  defined in
          applicable  ERISA  regulations) to the claimant's  claim for benefits,
          and

               (d) A statement of the  claimant's  right to bring a civil action
          under ERISA Section 502(a).

                                    Article 7
                           Amendments and Termination

     This  Agreement  may be amended or terminated  only by a written  agreement
signed by the Bank and the Director.

                                    Article 8
                                  Miscellaneous

     8.1 Binding  Effect.  This Agreement  shall bind the Director and the Bank,
and their beneficiaries,  survivors, executors,  successors,  administrators and
transferees.

     8.2 No Guarantee of Service.  This Agreement is not an employment policy or
contract.  It does not give the  Director  the right to remain a director of the
Bank,  nor does it interfere  with the  shareholders'  rights to  discharge  the
Director.  It also  does not  require  the  Director  to remain a  director  nor
interfere  with the Director's  right to terminate  service as a director at any
time.

     8.3  Non-Transferability.  Benefits  under this  Agreement  cannot be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

     8.4  Reorganization.  The Bank shall not merge or consolidate  into or with
another  company,  or  reorganize,  or sell  substantially  all of its assets to
another company,  firm, or person unless such succeeding or continuing  company,
firm, or person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of the Bank under
this  Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of such event,  the term "Bank" as used in
this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor company.

     8.5 Tax Withholding. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required to
be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.

     8.6  Applicable  Law.  The  Agreement  and all  rights  hereunder  shall be
governed  by the laws of the  State  of South  Carolina,  except  to the  extent
preempted by the laws of the United States of America.

     8.7  Unfunded  Arrangement.   The  Director  and  beneficiary  are  general
unsecured  creditors  of the  Bank  for  the  payment  of  benefits  under  this
Agreement.  The  benefits  represent  the mere  promise  by the Bank to pay such
benefits.  The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation,  sale, transfer,  assignment,  pledge,  encumbrance,  attachment, or
garnishment  by  creditors.  Any insurance on the  Director's  life is a general
asset of the Bank to which the  Director  and  beneficiary  have no preferred or
secured claim.

     8.8 Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement  constitutes  the entire  agreement
between the Bank and the Director as to the subject matter hereof. No rights are
granted  to  the  Director  by  virtue  of  this  Agreement   other  than  those
specifically set forth herein.

     8.9  Administration.  The Bank shall have  powers  which are  necessary  to
administer this Agreement, including but not limited to:

          (a)  Establishing  and  revising  the  method  of  accounting  for the
               Agreement;

          (b)  Maintaining a record of benefit payments;

          (c)  Establishing   rules  and  prescribing  any  forms  necessary  or
               desirable to administer the Agreement; and

          (d)  Interpreting the provisions of the Agreement.

     8.10  Named  Fiduciary.  The Bank  shall be the  named  fiduciary  and plan
administrator under this Agreement. It may delegate to others certain aspects of
the  management  and  operational  responsibilities  including the employment of
advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.
