Section 2(b) hereof, or (b) the Company otherwise agrees to complete the Rights Offering. 
 (d) This Agreement may be terminated upon mutual consent of the parties hereto. 
 (e) The parties hereto agree that any termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8, or the termination of the

without liability of the Company or the Standby Purchaser. 
 Section 9. Indemnification and Contribution. 
 (a) In the event the Rights Offering is consummated, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Standby Purchasers and their respective officers,
directors and employees and each other Person, if any, who controls the Standby Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Standby Indemnified
Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, to which any of the Standby Indemnified Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in the Rights Offering Registration Statement, the Rights Offering Prospectus or
in any amendment or supplement thereto, or any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
and shall reimburse each such Standby Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Standby Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to any Standby Indemnified Person to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any actual or alleged untrue
statement or actual or alleged omission made in the Rights Offering Registration Statement, Rights Offering Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such
Standby Indemnified Person specifically for use therein. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Standby Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such Securities
or New Shares by such Standby Indemnified Person. 
 (b) The Standby Purchasers by acceptance hereof, severally, and not jointly, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and employees and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the
“Company Indemnified Persons,” and together with the Standby Indemnified Persons, the “Indemnified Persons”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of
the Company Indemnified Persons may become subject (i) as a 

  

 - 13 - 

 
result of any breach by the Standby Purchasers of any of their representations, warranties or covenants contained herein or in any certificate delivered
hereunder or (ii) under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, information provided in writing to the
Company by the Standby Purchasers specifically for use in the Rights Offering Registration Statement or Rights Offering Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. 
 (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not limit the rights of such Person, except to the extent the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby) and (ii) unless, in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between such
indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any
person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the
indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses or (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person. If such defense is not assumed by the
indemnifying party as permitted hereunder, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its prior written consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim unless (i) such settlement or compromise contains a full and
unconditional release of the indemnified party or (ii) the indemnified party otherwise consents in advance in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to,
assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party,
a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such
additional counsel or counsels. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person
hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person
as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and Indemnified Person in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and Indemnified Persons shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, 

  

 - 14 - 

 
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to
information supplied by, the indemnifying party or the Indemnified Persons, and their relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. 
 Section 10. Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and each of the Standby Purchasers contained in this Agreement
or in any certificate delivered hereunder shall not survive the Closing hereunder. 
 Section 11. Notices. All notices,
communications and deliveries required or permitted by this Agreement shall be made in writing signed by the party making the same, shall specify the Section of this Agreement pursuant to which it is given or being made and shall be deemed given or

 SCHEDULE A 
 LOCK-UP AGREEMENT 
 September 17, 2009 
 Community Capital Corporation 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 In connection with your anticipated issuance to the holders of your issued and outstanding Common Stock (Common Stock”), certain non-transferable rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for and
purchase additional shares of Common Stock (such transaction generally being herein referred to as the “Rights Offering”) and sale to us of any unsubscribed-for Common Stock (the “Standby Shares”) pursuant to the
Standby Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 17, 2009, (the “Standby Purchase Agreement”), we agree that any transaction in your Common Stock by us will be subject to this agreement (the “Agreement”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Standby Purchase Agreement. 
 In connection with the
sale and purchase of the Standby Shares, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, on its behalf and on behalf of its clients, agrees as follows: 
 Except as set forth below, it will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, make any short
sale or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition of, whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise,
by the undersigned, any affiliate of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned) or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, the Standby Shares. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the
undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the undersigned’s Standby Shares even if such Standby Shares would be
disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. The provisions in this paragraph shall not restrict the transfer of Standby Shares to an affiliate as long as the affiliate transferee agrees for the benefit of the Company to be bound by the terms
hereof. 
 Its obligations under the paragraph above shall terminate upon termination of the Standby Purchase Agreement and, with respect the Standby Shares,
90 days after the Closing Date. In no event will this lock-up agreement be any more restrictive than any other lock-up or similar agreement agreed to in connection with Rights Offering and the undersigned and the Company agree to make any necessary
amendments hereto promptly upon execution of any more favorable agreement. 
  

 - 18 - 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder at any time,
effective upon the undersigned’s giving you written notice of termination, in the event any bank regulatory authority, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the South Carolina Office of the of the Commissioner of
Banking or any of the staffs thereof, (i) initiates, or notifies the undersigned in writing that it intends to initiate, any proceeding to determine whether we “control” the Company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act,
or any other federal or state banking laws or (ii) otherwise notifies us in writing or publicly discloses that such regulatory authority believes that we may control or have the ability to exert a controlling influence over the Company within
the meaning of such laws. 
 You hereby agree that you may release us from this Agreement with your prior written consent at any time.
