 Section 1. Employment and Duties. Employer hereby employs Employee to serve initially as Vice President and Controller. Employee accepts such
employment on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Employee shall perform the duties of Vice President and Controller or any additional or different duties or jobs as the Company deems appropriate. Employee acknowledges that
Employee’s responsibilities will require him to travel from time to time. Employee agrees to devote substantially all of his time, energy, and ability to the business of Employer on a full-time basis and shall not engage in any other business
activities during the term of this Agreement, provided however, Employee may pursue normal charitable activities so long as such activities do not require a substantial amount of time and do not interfere with his ability to perform
his duties. Employee agrees that he shall not serve on the board of directors of any for-profit company without the express written approval of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors. Employee shall at all times observe and abide by
the Employer’s policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.

 2.2
Benefits. Employee and/or his family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under Employer’s health and welfare benefit plans (including, without limitation, medical, prescription,
dental, disability, and life insurance) under the same terms and conditions applicable to most executives at similar levels of compensation and responsibility. 
 2.3 Performance Bonus. 
 (a) Employee shall be eligible to receive a discretionary performance bonus
(the “Bonus”) between zero and $110,000, subject to standard withholdings and authorized deductions, payable in a manner consistent with Employer’s practices and procedures. The amount of the Bonus, if any, will be decided by the
Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board in his/its sole discretion. 

 (b) Employee must be employed by Employer (or an affiliate) on the date any Bonus is paid to be eligible
to receive such Bonus and, if Employee is not employed by Employer (or an affiliate) on the date any Bonus is paid for any reason whatsoever, Employee shall not be entitled to receive such Bonus. 
 2.6 Sign-On Bonus: By the end of the Employee’s first month of Employee’s employment with Employer, Employer will pay Employee a signing
bonus of $25,000, less all standard withholdings and authorized deductions.

 2.9 Changes to
Benefit Plans. Employer reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any and all of its health and welfare benefit plans, practices, policies, and programs at any time without recourse by Employee so long as such action is taken
generally with respect to all other similarly-situated peer executives and does not single out Employee. 
 Section 3. Provisions

 3.1 Employment Is At-Will. Employee’s employment with Employer is “at
will” and is terminable by Employer or by Employee at any time and for any reason or no reason, subject to the notice requirements set forth below.

 3.3 Other Termination. Employer may terminate the employment of Employee for any reason or for no reason at any time upon at least thirty

(x) Employee shall immediately notify Employer of such employment and (y) Employer’s obligation to continue to provide certain health insurance benefits pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall
terminate once Employee becomes eligible to participate in his new employer’s health benefit plan. In addition, once Employee accepts employment (as an employee or as an independent contractor), Employer may reduce its obligation under clause
(ii) herein dollar-for-dollar for every dollar Employee earns in base salary or other compensation during the Severance Period from his new employer. Employee agrees to use reasonable efforts to find employment and that if he fails to use
reasonable efforts, the Company’s obligations under clause (ii) herein may be terminated by Employer in its sole discretion. 
 During the

 Section 4: Certain Covenants of Executive. 
 4.1 Confidential Information. 
 (a)
Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) in the course of his employment by Employer, it will or may be necessary for Employee to create, use, or have access to (A) technical, business, or customer information, materials, or data
relating to Employer’s present or planned business that has not been released to the public with Employer’s authorization, including, but not limited to, confidential information, materials, or proprietary data belonging to Employer or
relating to Employer’s affairs (collectively, “Confidential Information”) and (B) information and materials that concern Employer’s business that come into Employer’s possession by reason of employment with Employer
(collectively, “Business Related Information”); (ii) all Confidential Information and Business Related Information are the property of Employer; (iii) the use, misappropriation, or disclosure of any Confidential Information or
Business Related Information would constitute a breach of trust and could cause serious and irreparable injury to Employer; and (iv) it is essential to the protection of Employer’s goodwill and maintenance of Employer’s competitive
position that all Confidential Information and Business Related Information be kept confidential and that Employee not disclose any Confidential Information or Business Related Information to others or use Confidential Information or Business
Related Information to Employee’s own advantage or the advantage of others. 
 (b) In recognition of the acknowledgment contained in
Section 4.1(a) above, Employee agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter until the Confidential Information and/or Business Related Information becomes publicly available (other than through a breach by Employee),
Employee shall: (i) hold and safeguard all Confidential Information and Business Related Information in trust for Employer, its successors, and assigns; (ii) not appropriate or disclose or make available to anyone for use outside of
Employer’s organization at any time, either during employment with Employer or subsequent to the termination of employment with Employer for any reason, any Confidential Information and Business Related Information, whether or not developed by
Employee, except as required in the performance of Employee’s duties to Employer; (iii) keep in strictest confidence any Confidential Information or Business Related Information; and (iv) not disclose or divulge, or allow to be
disclosed or divulged by any person within Employee’s control, to any person, firm, or corporation, or use directly or indirectly, for Employee’s own benefit or the benefit of others, any Confidential Information or Business Related
Information. 
 (c) Employee agrees that all lists, materials, records, books, data, plans, files, reports, correspondence, and other
documents (“Employer material”) used or prepared by, or made available to, Employee shall be and remain property of Employer. Upon termination of employment, Employee shall immediately return all Employer material to Employer, and Employee
shall not make or retain any copies or extracts thereof. 
 4.2. Competition. Employee agrees that during the term of this Agreement
and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of his employment with Employer for any 

  

 5 

 
reason, he shall not: (i) be an officer, director, consultant, partner, owner, stockholder, employee, creditor, agent, trustee, independent contractor,
or advisor on a paid or unpaid basis of any individual, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, independent practice association, management services organization, or any other entity (collectively, “Person”) that either is in
the business of or, directly or indirectly, derives any economic benefit from providing, arranging, offering, managing, or subcontracting dialysis services or renal care services; (ii) directly or indirectly, own, manage, control, operate,
invest in, acquire an interest in, or otherwise engage in, act for, or act on behalf of any Person (other than Employer and its subsidiaries and affiliates) engaged in any activity in the United States where such activity is similar to or
competitive with the activities carried on by Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (iii) prepare with or plan with others to form any Person that will derive any economic benefit from providing, arranging, offering, managing,
or subcontracting dialysis services or renal care services. As used herein, the term “dialysis services” or “renal care services” includes, but shall not be limited to, all dialysis services and nephrology-related services
provided by Employer at any time during the period of Employee’s employment, including, but not limited to, hemodialysis, acute dialysis, apheresis services, peritoneal dialysis of any type, staff-assisted hemodialysis, home hemodialysis,
dialysis-related laboratory and pharmacy services, access-related services, drug distribution, drug purchasing, Method II dialysis supplies and services, nephrology practice management, vascular access services, disease management services,
pre-dialysis education, ckd services, or renal physician/center network management, and any other services or treatment for persons diagnosed as having end stage renal disease (“ESRD”) or pre-end stage renal disease, including any dialysis
services provided in an acute hospital. The term “ESRD” shall have the same meaning as set forth in Title 42, Code of Federal Regulations 405.2101 et seq. or any successor thereto. Employee acknowledges that the nature of
Employer’s activities is such that competitive activities could be conducted effectively regardless of the geographic distance between Employer’s place of business and the place of any competitive business. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, such activities shall not include the ownership of 1% or less of the issued and outstanding stock, which is purchased in the open market, of a public company that conducts business that is similar to or competitive with the business
carried on by the Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. 
 Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, Employee shall not be
prohibited from being employed (as an employee or independent contractor) by any Person that provides dialysis services and/or renal care services, as those terms as defined above, so long as such services constitutes no more than 5% of that
Person’s total business operations and so long as Employee has no authority over, responsibility for, oversight of, connection with, or involvement in anyway in the dialysis services and/or renal care services provided by that Person.

 Employee acknowledges and agrees that the geographical limitations and duration of this covenant not to compete are reasonable. In
particular, Employee agrees that his position is national in scope and that he will have an impact on every location where Employer currently conducts and will conduct business. Therefore, Employee acknowledges and agrees that, like his position,
this covenant cannot be limited to any particular geographic region. 
  

 6 

 4.3 Solicitation of Employees. Employee promises and agrees that he will not, for a period of one
(1) year after the termination of his employment, directly or indirectly, solicit any of Employer’s employees to work for any business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation, or other entity that is then in competition with
Employer’s business or any subsidiary or affiliate of Employer. Employee also agrees that during his employment and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of his employment, directly or indirectly, that he will not hire any of
Employer’s employees to work (as an employee or an independent contractor) for any business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation, or other entity that is then in competition with Employer’s business or any subsidiary or affiliate of
Employer. In addition, Employee agrees that during his employment and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of his employment, directly or indirectly, that he will not take any action that may reasonably result in any of
Employer’s employees going to work (as an employee or an independent contractor) for any business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation, or other entity that is then in competition with Employer’s business or any subsidiary or
affiliate of Employer. 
 4.4 Other solicitation. Employee promises and agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period
of one (1) year after the termination of his employment for any reason, he shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) induce any patient or customer of Employer, either individually or collectively, to patronize any competing dialysis
facility; (ii) request or advise any patient, customer, or supplier of Employer to withdraw, curtail, or cancel such person’s business with Employer; (iii) enter into any contract the purpose or result of which would benefit Employee
if any patient or customer of Employer were to withdraw, curtail, or cancel such person’s business with Employer; (iv) solicit, induce, or encourage any physician (or former physician) affiliated with Employer or induce or encourage any
other person under contract with Employer to curtail or terminated such person’s affiliation or contractual relationship with Employer; (v) disclose to any Person the names or addresses of any patient or customer of Employer or of any
physician (or former physician) affiliated with Employer; or (vi) disparage Employer or any of its agents, employees, or affiliated physicians in any fashion. 
 4.5 Enforcement. In the event that any part of this Section 4 shall be held unenforceable or invalid, the remaining parts hereof shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the
invalid portions had not been a part hereof. In the event that the area, period of restriction, activity, or subject established in accordance with this Section 4 shall be deemed to exceed the maximum area, period of restriction,
activity, or subject that a court of competent jurisdiction deems enforceable, such area, period of restriction, activity, or subject shall, for the purpose of Section 4, be reduced to the extent necessary to render them enforceable.

 4.6 Equitable Relief. Employee agrees that any violation by Employee of any covenant in Section 4 will or would cause
Employer to suffer irreparable injury, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain. For that reason, Employee agrees that Employer shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to a temporary, preliminary, and/or permanent injunction and/or
other injunctive relief, ex parte or otherwise, from any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any further violations by Employee. Such injunctive relief shall be in addition to and in no way limit any and all other remedies Employer shall
have in law and equity for the enforcement of such covenants and provisions. Employee consents and stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief in such a court prohibiting him from any further violation of the covenants and provisions of
Section 4.

 9Change in Control Agreement of Tracy L. Keegan, dated July 24, 2006

 Exhibit 10.18 
 BANCSHARES OF FLORIDA, INC. 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT 
 THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Bancshares of Florida, Inc. (“Employer”)
and Tracy L. Keegan (“Employee”). 
 WHEREAS, in recognition of Employee’s prior and continuing contribution to
Employer and its subsidiaries, Employer wishes to protect Employee’s position therewith in the manner provided in the Agreement in the event of a Change in Control of the Employer. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Employee’s management position, contribution and responsibilities, Employer hereby agrees to
provide Employee with certain severance benefits as specifically provided herein. 
 SECTION 1 – DEFINITIONS 
 (a) “Change in Control” means an event that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) or any successor disclosure item; provided that, without limitation, such a Change in Control (as set forth in 12 U.S.C. Section 1841 (a)(2) of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended) shall be deemed to have occurred if any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than any person who on the date hereof is a director or officer of Employer:
(i) directly or indirectly, or acting in concert through one or more other persons, owns, controls, or has power to vote 25% or more of any class of the then outstanding voting securities of Employer; or (ii) controls in any manner the
election of the directors of Employer. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed not to have occurred in connection with a reorganization, consolidation, or merger of Employer whereby the stockholders of
Employer, immediately before the consummation of the transaction, will own over 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction. 
 (b) Termination for “just cause” means termination because of Employee’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, insubordination, misconduct or
conduct which negatively reflects upon the Employer, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than minor traffic violations or similar offenses), or final
cease-and-desist order. In determining “incompetence,” the acts or omissions shall be measured against standards generally prevailing in the banking industry. No act, or failure to act on Employee’s part, shall be considered
“willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Employee not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Employee’s action or omission was in the best interest of Employer; provided that any act or omission to act on
Employee’s behalf in reliance upon advice or written opinion of Employer’s counsel shall not be deemed to be willful. 
 (c)
“Protected Period” means the term of this Agreement and six months following termination hereof if Employee is employed by Employer at the time Employee first learns of a potential Change in Control, which is in fact later consummated.

  

 1 

 SECTION 2 – TERM OF AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement shall remain in effect for two years commencing on December 31, 2005, and terminating on December 30, 2007, unless extended or
terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8 herein. 
 SECTION 3 – PAYMENTS TO EMPLOYEE UPON
CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 If Employer terminates Employee’s employment without “just cause,” Employee shall be entitled to
receive the termination benefits described in Section 4 herein, if a Change in Control also occurs or has occurred within the Protected Period. Employee shall also be entitled to receive such termination benefits described in Section 4
herein, if within 90 days of a Change in Control Employee elects to terminate her employment; provided, however, if the surviving entity following a Change in Control offers Employee a position at the same salary as she was receiving from Employer
at the time of the Change in Control, Employee shall not be entitled to receive the termination benefits described in Section 4 herein. 
 SECTION 4 – TERMINATION BENEFITS 
 (a) Upon a termination described in Section 3, Employer or its successor(s)
shall pay Employee, or in the event of Employee’s subsequent death, Employee’s estate, as severance pay, a sum equal to two and one-half years of Employee’s “highest annual base salary.” For purposes of this Agreement,
Employee’s “highest annual base salary” shall mean the Employee’s highest base salary, plus Employee’s average annual bonus during the three years immediately preceding Employee’s termination. Such payment shall be made
in one lump sum payment within ten business days of such a termination of employment. 
 (b) Upon a termination described in Section 3,
Employer or its successor(s) shall continue to provide life, health, and disability coverage (“Coverage”) comparable to the coverage maintained by Employer for Employee prior to Employee’s severance. Such Coverage shall cease upon the
earlier of Employee obtaining new employment and receiving Coverage through another employer, which provides comparable coverage, or six months from the date of Employee’s termination. 
 SECTION 5 – SUSPENSION OF OBLIGATIONS 
 (a) If Employee is suspended from
office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of Employer’s affairs pursuant to an action brought by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Office of Thrift Supervision,
or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (any and all referred to herein as “Regulatory Agency”), Employer’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of such action. The obligations of this Agreement
shall be suspended as of the date of such action. The obligations of this Agreement shall be reinstated if the charges of the Regulatory Agency are subsequently dismissed, or if the Employee is otherwise determined to be not guilty of such charges.

  

 2 

 (b) If Employee is removed from office and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct or
affairs of Employer by a final order resulting from an action brought by a Regulatory Agency, all obligations of Employer under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of such order. 
 SECTION 6 – NOTICE OF TERMINATION 
 Any purported termination by Employer or by Employee shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall
indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Employee’s employment under the provision so indicated.

 SECTION 7 – AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE 
 (a) In consideration of the benefits and protections provided under this Agreement, Employee agrees that during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of six months following the termination of Employee’s
employment for any reason other than a termination that would entitle Employee to receive the severance benefits described in Section 4, Employee shall not become employed, directly or indirectly, whether as an employee, independent contractor,
consultant, or otherwise, with any federally-insured financial institution, financial holding company, bank holding company, or other financial services provider located in Collier or Lee Counties, Florida that offers similar products or services as
those offered by the Employer, or with any person or entity whose intent it is to organize another such company or entity located in Collier or Lee Counties, Florida. 
 (b) Employee hereby agrees that the duration of the anti-competitive covenant set forth herein is reasonable, and that its geographic scope is not unduly restrictive. 
 (c) The parties acknowledge and agree that money damages cannot fully compensate Employer in the event of Employee’s violation of the provisions of
this Section 7. Thus, in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7, Employee agrees that Employer, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Employee from
any further breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 7. Employee’s sole remedy, in the event of the wrongful entry of such injunction, shall be the dissolution of such injunction and any costs as provided for in Section 10
herein. Employee hereby waives any and all claims for damages by reason of the wrongful issuance of any such injunction. 
 SECTION 8
– MODIFICATION AND WAIVER 
 (a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

 (b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppels against the enforcement
of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate
only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition in the future, or as to any act other than that specifically waived. 
  

 3 

 SECTION 9 – ARBITRATION 
 The parties agree that, except for the specific remedies for injunctive relief as contained in Section 7, any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any breach hereof, including, without limitation, any claim that this Agreement or any portion hereof is invalid, illegal, or otherwise voidable, shall be submitted to binding arbitration before and in accordance with
the rules of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the determination and/or award of such arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Provided, however, that this Section shall not be construed to permit
the award of punitive damages to either party. The venue of any arbitration shall be in Collier County, Florida. 
 SECTION 10 –
ATTORNEYS’ FEES 
 In the event of any proceeding occurring out of or involving this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to the recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs, including fees and costs to enforce an award. 
 SECTION
11 – SEVERABILITY 
 The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 12–
HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY 
 The headings of the Sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control
the meaning or the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 13 – APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE 

This Agreement shall be governed in all respects and be interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Florida. Any litigation regarding this
Agreement shall be brought in the appropriate court in Collier County, Florida. 
 SECTION 14 – SUCCESSORS
