 EXHIBIT 10.35 
  
 COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. 
 2004 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of March 11, 2004, between grantor Community Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) and grantee,
                                 (the “Grantee”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) approved
the grant to Grantee of awards under the Corporation’s long-term incentive program and established the terms and conditions of such awards, as contained in this Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 1. Grant of Option. Grantee shall have the right and option to purchase on the terms and conditions set forth herein, all or any part
of an aggregate of 25,000 shares (“Option Shares”) of the $.10 par value common stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) at the purchase price of $5.50 per share (the “Option Price”). The Option Price is 100% of
the fair market value of the Common Stock on March 11, 2004, the date of the grant of the option covered by this Agreement. 
  
 2. Terms and Conditions. It is understood and agreed that the option evidenced hereby is subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (a) Expiration Date. The option shall expire five (5) years after the
date of grant (the “Expiration Date”). After the Expiration Date, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder. 
  
 (b) Exercise of Option. The option covered by this Agreement may be exercised by Grantee from time to time, in whole or in part, at any time prior
to the Expiration Date subject to the restrictions in Section 2(d), (e) and (f). 
  
 (c) Method of Exercise and Payment of Purchase Price Upon Exercise. The Grantee may elect to exercise the option by giving written notice of such election to the Corporation, in such form as the Board may
require, accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of the Option Shares for which the election is made. Payment of the Option Price shall be made in cash or Common Stock that was acquired at least six (6) months prior to the exercise of the
option, or a combination thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the option may be exercised and the exercise price paid pursuant to arrangements with brokerage firms permitted under Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board or successor
regulations or statutes. Any federal or state tax withholding requirements can be satisfied by shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the option exercise. 
  

(d) Exercise Upon Termination of Affiliation with the Corporation . If the Grantee’s affiliation in any capacity (i.e. as an employee or a
director), but not necessarily in all capacities, with the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries is terminated for Cause (as defined below), the option shall expire on the date of termination of Grantee’s affiliation with the Corporation. Except
as provided in the preceding sentence, the option may be exercised at any time during the stated term of the option notwithstanding the termination of Grantee’s affiliation with the Corporation due to death, disability, retirement or other
reasons. 
  
 3. No Rights as Shareholder or to Employment or to Directorship.
No option granted hereunder shall entitle the holder thereof to any rights as a shareholder in the Corporation with respect to any shares to which the option relates until such shares have been paid for in full and issued. Furthermore, the
option shall not confer upon the Grantee any rights of employment with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or any rights to be a director of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affect the right of the Corporation or its subsidiaries
to terminate the affiliation of the Grantee at any time, with or without cause. 

 4. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Option. Grantee hereby agrees for himself or herself and his or her
legal representative, heirs and distributees, that if a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of any option hereunder is not effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), at the time of
such exercise, or if some other exemption from the provisions of the Act is not available, then all shares of Common Stock then received or purchased upon such exercise shall be acquired for investment, and that the notice of exercise delivered to
the Corporation shall be accompanied by a representation in writing acceptable in scope and form to counsel to the Corporation and signed by Grantee or Grantee’s legal representative, heirs or distributees, as the case may be, to the effect
that the shares are being acquired in good faith for investment and not with a view to distribution thereof. Any shares so acquired may be deemed restricted securities under Rule 144 as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Act, and as the same may be amended or replaced and subject to restrictions upon sale or other disposition. This option has not been registered under the Act or any applicable state securities laws in reliance upon registration exemptions in the Act
and such laws. Grantee represents that Grantee is acquiring this option for Grantee’s own account for investment and not with a view to any resale or distribution thereof. Grantee understands and agrees that the option (in addition to the
restriction on transfer set forth in Section 6) this option may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws except in compliance with an exemption from such registration,
the availability of which has been confirmed by an opinion of legal counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Corporation. 
  
 5. Registration of Shares. If at any time the Board shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares subject to the option upon any
securities exchange, or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the issuance or purchase of shares hereunder, the option may
not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. 
  
 6. Transfer of Rights. This option is not transferable except by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during Grantee’s lifetime only by Grantee. After the death of Grantee, this option may be exercised only by Grantee’s estate or by the person or persons entitled to the option under
Grantee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution, as appropriate. In the event the option is transferred to the Grantee’s estate, the option may be exercised by the estate only to the extent that the Grantee would have been entitled
had the option not been transferred. 
  
 7. Definitions. For the purposes
of this Agreement, the following term shall have the definition set forth below: 
  
 “Cause” means (i) any act (A) that constitutes, on the part of the Grantee, fraud, dishonesty, a felony or gross malfeasance of duty and (B) that directly results in a material injury to the Corporation; or
(ii) conduct by the Grantee in his office with the Corporation that is grossly inappropriate and demonstrably likely to lead to material injury to the Corporation, as determined by the Board acting reasonably and in good faith; provided, however,
that in the case of (ii) above, such conduct shall not constitute Cause unless the Board shall have delivered to the Grantee notice setting forth with specificity (A) the conduct deemed to qualify as Cause, (B) reasonable action that would remedy
such objection, and (C) a reasonable time (not less than 30 days) within which the Grantee may take such remedial action, and the Grantee shall not have taken such specified remedial action within such specified reasonable time. 
  
 8. Disposition of Shares. Grantee agrees to notify the Corporation promptly of the
disposition of any shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to this option which are disposed of within one year after transfer of such shares to Grantee, or within two years of the date of the grant of such option. For purposes of such
notification, “disposition” shall have the meaning assigned to it in Section 425(c) of the Code. 
  
 9. Adjustment of Awards. In the event of any change in corporate capitalization, such as stock split, or a corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, separation or other distribution of stock or

 property of the Corporation, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such
term in Code Section 368) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Corporation, such adjustment shall be made in the number and class of and/or price of the Option Shares as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the
Corporation’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be available under this agreement; provided that the number of Option Shares shall always be a whole
number. 
  
 10. Interpretation. Any question of interpretation or
application of this Agreement shall be resolved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and its determination shall be final and binding on the Corporation and Grantee. 
  
 11. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and, if to the Corporation, shall be delivered personally to the Chairman or
mailed to the Corporation’s principal office at P.O. Box 1000, Blountsville, Alabama 35031, addressed to the attention of the Chairman; and if to Grantee, shall be delivered personally or mailed to him at the address for Grantee found in the
Corporation’s records. Such addresses may be changed at any time by notice from one party to the other. 
  
 12. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, the successors and assigns of the Corporation and the person to whom the rights of Grantee are transferred by will
or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  
 13. Amendment. This Agreement
may be amended from time to time by the Board, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of the Grantee without the Grantee’s consent. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

 PROMISSORY
NOTE 
  
 (Non Recourse) 
  
 THIS PROMISSORY NOTE IS A 
  
 REFINANCING OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER UNDER A 
  
 $2,963,841.91 PROMISSORY NOTE DATED DECEMBER 1, 1998. 
  
 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (herein, along with any other maker, endorser, surety or
guarantor hereof, shall be called “Borrower”), promises to pay, without recourse, to the order of COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. (hereinafter along with its successors and assigns called ‘Lender’), at Lender’s office or at such
other place as Lender may from time to time designate, without grace and in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of One Million Seven Hundred and Thirty-Five Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Six Dollars and Four Cents
($1,735,476.04), together with interest and charges thereon (hereinafter ‘Obligation’), all as evidenced by the records of Lender. 
  
 I. INTEREST: 
  
 Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal Obligation, in accordance with the terms hereof. 
  
 Interest on the unpaid principal Obligation shall be computed from the date hereof at a rate equal to the New York Prime Rate (the “Prime Rate”) as published in
The Wall Street Journal, but in no event shall the interest rate exceed the maximum amount permitted by law. As of this date, the Prime Rate is 4.0%, making the interest rate accruing on the unpaid principal Obligation as of this date, 4.0%

  
 The Prime Rate may change as often as daily. Any change in the interest rate
resulting from a change in the Prime Rate shall take effect upon the change in the Prime Rate. 
  
 Interest from date on the outstanding unpaid principal balance shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year by multiplying the product of the principal amount outstanding and the applicable rate by the actual
amount of days elapsed and dividing by 365. 
  
 II. PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
PAYMENTS 
  
 The Borrower promises and agrees to pay principal and
interest as follows: 
  
 A. Eighty (80) consecutive monthly
principal and interest installments of $24,496.85 followed by 
  
 B. One (1) final installment equal to all of the principal of and interest on the Obligation then remaining unpaid. 
  
 If principal and interest are payable in installments, then the first installment will be due and payable on March 16, 2004 and the remaining installments will be due and
payable on the same day of every month thereafter until both the principal and interest on this Obligation has been paid in full, or this note matures. 
  
 Maturity Date: Any provisions of this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, all outstanding and unpaid principal indebtedness evidenced hereby, plus accrued
interest, shall be due and payable on November 16, 2010, which shall be the maturity date of this Note. 
  
 Effect of Variable Rate on Monthly Payments: The monthly payment on this Obligation will increase or decrease, at the Lender’s discretion, pursuant to a change in the Prime Rate. The fixed monthly
installment 

 has been calculated based upon a, eighty-one (81) month amortization at a 4% annual rate. In the event of a change in the
Prime Rate, the Lender will review the amount of the monthly payment, and may, at Lender’s discretion recalculate the amount of the monthly payment and so notify Borrower, who shall thenceforth make monthly payments in the amount so indicated.
The ability of Lender to make changes in the amount of the monthly payment can occur upon each change of the Prime Rate. In the event Lender does not change the amount of the monthly payment when the Prime Rate changes or any time thereafter, then
the final payment due on this Obligation will increase. 
  
 Application of
Payments: Unless otherwise elected by Lender, all payments shall be applied as billed by Lender, and if not billed, then first to interest and then to principal. 
  
 Prepayment: The Borrower reserves the right, privilege, and option to prepay the principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note, or
any part thereof, at any time without penalty, and interest shall cease to accrue on the amount or amounts of principal so prepaid. Any such prepayment shall be applied to unpaid principal installments hereunder in the inverse order of the
maturities thereof. No partial principal prepayment shall defer the due date of any installment of principal and interest due hereunder. 
  
 SECURITY: 
  
 This Note and the Obligation is secured (in accordance with the terms of a Pledge Agreement from Borrower to Lender dated this date) solely by the grant of a first lien security interest in 123,111 shares of the
common stock of COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. owned by North Star Trust Company as Trustee (the “Trustee”) of the COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (the “Plan”) and held by the COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP TRUST (the “Trust”). Lender agrees to release and deliver to the Trustee for the Borrower that number of common stock shares pledged hereunder as required by 26 CFR § 54.4975-7(b)(8)(i) taking into account
both principal and interest. 
  
 IV. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND DEFAULT:

  
 Borrower’s failure to pay Any installment of principal and interest
when due shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, but only with respect to the principal and interest actually in arrears. 
  
 V. PURPOSE OF LOAN: 
  
 This Note evidences refinancing of existing indebtedness incurred by Borrower for acquisition of COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.’s stock in order to continue to be able
to fund the COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN, and Borrower agrees to use the proceeds of this loan for only those purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that the money
which is the subject of the credit transaction is not for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes within the meaning of the Federal Truth-in- Lending Act or Regulation Z of the Federal Reserve Board issued pursuant thereto, and that
said extension of credit is for business or commercial purposes (other than agricultural purposes). 
  
 VI. NON RECOURSE OBLIGATION: 
  
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Pledge Agreement, it is hereby expressly understood and agreed that, in the event Lender shall at any time take action to enforce the collection of the Obligation,
Lender shall not seek a money judgment against the Trust or the Plan or the Trustee for any sum promised to be paid herein or in the Pledge Agreement, and Lender shall never institute suit, action, claim, at law or in equity against the Plan, the
Trust or the Trustee, or collect from them personally any such sums; and if, as a result of sale of collateral described in the Pledge Agreement, a lesser sum is realized therefrom than the amount then due and owing under this Note, the Lender shall
never institute any action, suit, claim or demand at law or in equity against the Trust, the Plan, or the Trustee. This Note shall be without recourse to the Plan, the Trust and the Trustee for any deficiency and 

 the Lender’s rights are limited solely to the stock pledged herein and any earning attributable to such collateral.
Furthermore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all pledges, liability and collateral of the Plan for the indebtedness represented by this Note, are subject to and limited by, 26 CFR § 54.4975-7(b) and in the event of a default
upon indebtedness represented thereby, the value of the trust assets transferred in satisfaction of the loan shall not exceed the amount of Obligation. 
  
 VII. COMPLIANCE WITH ESOP PROVISIONS: 
  
 It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that this Note and the Pledge Agreement and each provision hereof is intended strictly to comply in all respects and to be
construed in accordance with and be subject to the provisions of the United States Code and the regulations and regulatory interpretations thereunder relating to employee stock ownership plans and loans thereto (the “ESOP Provisions”),
including without limitation Sections 401 & 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and 26 C.F.R. § 54.4975-7 and 29 C.F.R. § 2550-408b-3 and that the Obligation evidenced hereby qualifies as an ‘exempt loan”
and a “stock acquisition loan’ under the ESOP Provisions, and this Note shall be construed and be deemed to have been amended to the extent necessary to comply with the ESOP Provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it
is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Lender shall release collateral pledged hereunder at least as rapidly as required by 26 C.F.R. § 54.4975-7(b)(8)(i) as the Obligation is paid. 
  
 VIII. WAIVERS, COST OF COLLECTION. MISCELLANEOUS: 
  
 The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note
and the Obligation, including court cost, expenses of collection, and including a reasonable attorney’s fee, if the same be collected by an attorney consulted with reference to suit or otherwise. 
  
 The Borrower and all sureties, endorser and guarantors of this Note, to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law or regulation, hereby jointly and severally, (a) waive as to this debt or any renewal, modification, extension or refinancing thereof all rights of exemption under the Constitution or laws of Alabama or any other state
as to real or personal property; (b) waive demand, presentment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, all other notice, suit against any party, diligence in collection of this note, the release of any party primarily
or secondarily liable thereon or any collateral pledged as security, and all other requirements necessary to hold Borrower liable hereunder; and (c) agree and consent to any one of more extensions or postponements of time of payment of this Note or
any other indulgences with respect hereto, without notice thereof to any of them, and without release of liability as to any Borrower or any of them. 
  
 Borrower agrees to provide Lender, upon request, any financial statements or information Lender may deem necessary; and Borrower warrants that all financial statements
and information so provided shall be accurate, correct, and complete. 
  
 Lender’s books and records showing the account between us shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, shall be binding upon us for the purposes of establishing the items therein set forth and shall constitute prima
fade proof thereof. 
  
 The Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies, and no waiver of any kind shall be valid against the Lender; unless in writing and signed by the Lender. All rights and remedies hereunder and under any statute or rule of law shall
be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently. This note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama. BORROWER CONSENTS TO THIE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN
B ALABAMA AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WE MAY HAVE BASED UPON IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS IN ANY SUCH COURT. IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT WITH RESPECT TO, RELATING TO, OR PERTAINING TO THIS NOTE, THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATION, THE ADMINISTRATION, HANDLING OR COLLECTION OF THE OBLIGATION, OR THE ACTIONS OF LENDER, THE BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower will furnish 

 Lender a prompt written notice of any action or inaction by Lender or any of Lender’s agents or attorneys in
connection with this Note, the Loan Documents, or the advances or obligations thereunder, that may be actionable against Lender, Lender’s agents, Lender’s attorneys, or a defense to payment of the Borrower’s obligations to Lender for
any reason, including, but not limited to, commission of a tort or violation of any contractual duty or duty implied by law. Borrower further agrees that, unless this notice is duly given as promptly as possible (and in any event within ten (10)
days) after Borrower has knowledge or with the exercise of reasonable diligence should have had knowledge of any such action or inaction, Borrower will not assert and shall be deemed to have waived, any claim or defense arising therefrom.

  
 The Borrower understands that the Lender may from time to time enter into a
participation agreement or agreements with one or more participants pursuant to which such participant or participants shall be given participation in advances made under this note and that such participants may from time to time similarly grant to
other participants subparticipations in such advances. 
  
 Singular or plural

 If any provision of this Note is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. 
  
 Any change or modification to this Note must be in writing and signed by both Lender and
Borrower.

 THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT REPRESENTS A TRANSFER 
  
 OF COLLATERAL PLEDGED PURSUANT TO A PLEDGE 
  
 AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER 1, 1998. 
  
 To induce COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. (hereinafter referred to as Lender) to make a loan to COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.. EMPLOYEE STOCK
OWNERSHIP TRUST and COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (hereinafter jointly, severally and collectively referred to as Borrower) the undersigned does herewith deposit, transfer, assign, convey and pledge to Lender as collateral
security to the Obligation cited herein the following Stock Certificates and Securities belonging to the undersigned, free of any claim, encumbrances, lien, or prior assignments, to secure the obligations evidenced by that certain Promissory Note
dated this day, in the amount of $1,735,476.04, executed by Borrower (hereinafter “Loan” or ‘Obligation’), and all renewals and modifications thereof, to wit: 
  
 One Hundred and Twenty-Three Thousand One Hundred Eleven (123,111) shares of the common stock of COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC., along with all

 (all of the above, along with all stock dividends, stock splits and proceeds, hereinafter referred to as “Securities”) 
  
 It is understood that these Securities hereby pledged to Lender as Collateral for the Loan
shall not be sold or liquidated, without the consent of Lender, until said Loan, principal and interest, and all other obligations of the Borrower to Lender have been paid in full, provided however, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that this
agreement and each provision hereof is intended strictly to comply in all respects and to be construed in accordance with and be subject to the provisions of the United States Code and the regulations and regulatory interpretations thereunder
relating to employee stock ownership plans and loans thereto (the “ESOP Provisions”), including without limitation Sections 401 & 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and 26 C.F.R. 54.4975-7 and 29 C.F.R. §
2550-408b and that the Loan secured hereby qualifies as an “exempt loan” and a “stock acquisition loan” under the ESOP Provisions. This agreement shall be construed and be deemed to have been amended to the extent necessary to
comply with the ESOP Provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Lender shall release collateral pledged hereunder as required by 26 C.F.R. § 54.4975-7(b)(8)(i) as the Loan is
paid. 
  
 Upon the failure of the Borrower to pay the Loan according to the terms
of the Note, Loan, or other document evidencing the Loan, or upon a default in said obligation as defined in the Note, Loan documents, or other documents evidencing the Loan, then the Lender may immediately without advertisement, and without notice
to the undersigned, sell Securities in an amount not to exceed the amount of principal and interest in arrears at private sale or broker’s board, or otherwise, or may, without notice, discount, collect compound, compromise, settle, manage, and
turn the same into cash according to opportunity, at the discretion of Lender and apply the proceeds thereof as far as needed toward the payment of said amounts, together with interest and all expenses (legal or otherwise) for sale or collection. If

 The undersigned agrees that this Pledge Agreement, and all Obligations secured hereby, shall remain in full force and effect and in its original tenor at all times hereinafter during the term hereof, notwithstanding i) the unenforceability,
non-existence invalidity, or non-perfection of the Obligation, or any instrument or agreement guaranteeing or securing the Obligation, or of any lien, pledge, assignment, security interest or conveyance given as security for the Obligation; ii) the
failure of Lender to pursue any collateral securing the Obligation or the failure to file a claim against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligation in any proceeding pertaining to the death, insolvency, or bankruptcy of such person or
entity; or iii) any action or undertakings by, or against, Lender or Borrower or concerning any collateral which is secured, pledged or assigned to the Lender in connection with the obligation in any proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court;
including without limitation, matters relating to valuation of collateral, election or imposition of secured or unsecured claim status upon claims by the Lender pursuant to any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, as may be applicable from time to time.

and administrators of the undersigned and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors, and assigns
