 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants of the parties hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

“In addition, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, you shall be eligible to receive an option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, which option shall vest as follows: (i) if the Company recognizes Net Revenue (as defined below) of at least $1.5 million but less
than $2.0 million in 2008, an aggregate of 25,000 shares shall vest and become exercisable; (ii) if the Company recognizes Net Revenue of at least $2.0 million but less than $2.25 million in 2008, an aggregate of 75,000 shares shall vest and
become exercisable; and (iii) if the Company recognizes Net Revenue of at least $2.25 million in 2008, an aggregate of 100,000 shares shall vest and become exercisable. This option will be subject to the terms of the Company’s 2000 Stock
Option Plan and the applicable stock option agreement between you and the Company and is intended to be an incentive stock option to the extent allowed under applicable law. For purposes of this Section 5, “Net Revenue” shall mean
revenue derived by the Company from the sale or license of non-pharmaceutical products in connection with licensing or joint development transactions as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors based on the Company’s audited 2008
financial statements; provided, however, that Net Revenue shall not include revenue derived from the sale of peptides at cost or from cost reimbursements from DermaVentures LLC.” 
 2. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge the continuing effect of the Agreement except as specifically modified by this Amendment. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the day and year first above written.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 AMENDMENT TO ENDORSEMENT SPLIT DOLLAR AGREEMENT 
 OF MIDCAROLINA BANK AND
                     
 Whereas, MidCarolina Bank
(the “Bank”) and                      (the “Executive”) are parties to an Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement dated
            , 2004 (the “Split Dollar Agreement”), previously amended by the parties to delete Section 2.2(b); and 
 Whereas, a change in the required accounting treatment of split dollar arrangements effective January 1, 2008 will have an adverse impact on the Bank if the Split
Dollar Agreement continues to provide for post-employment death benefits; and 
 Whereas, the Split Dollar Agreement contains provisions on the allocation of
Net Death Proceeds which are contrary to the provision in the split dollar arrangements with most other key employees of the Bank; and 
 Whereas, the
parties hereto desire to continue to maintain the split dollar arrangement to fund other benefits payable to the Officer under a Salary Continuation Agreement and to provide for the payment of certain death benefits to the Officer’s beneficiary
if the Officer dies while employed by the Bank; and 
 Whereas, both parties agree that it is advisable to modify the Split Dollar Agreement in the manner
set forth in this Amendment so that death benefits are not payable under the Agreement if the Executive dies after termination of his employment with the Bank and to make the allocation of Net Death Benefit Proceeds consistent with the allocation
contained in the Bank’s other split dollar arrangements: 
 Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the parties modify the Split Dollar Agreement to read as follows: 
 I. Section 2.2(a) of the Split Dollar Agreement is deleted
(2.2(b) having previously been deleted), and, the following substituted in lieu thereof as Section 2.2: 
  

	 	2.2	Death Benefit. The Executive shall have the right to designate the beneficiary of the Executive’s Interest. If the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs by
reason of his death while so employed, then the beneficiary designated by the Executive in accordance with the Split Dollar Policy Endorsement shall be entitled to 80% of the Net Death Proceeds (the “Executive’s Interest”). The
Executive or the Executive’s permitted transferee shall also have the right to elect and change settlement options that may be permitted for the Executive’s Interest. The Executive’s Interest shall automatically terminate upon
Termination of Employment for any reason other than his death while employed by the Bank or an affiliate of the Bank. 

 II. The first sentence of Article I of the Split Dollar Agreement is amended to read: 
 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this agreement shall be defined as set forth in the Salary Continuation Agreement between the Bank and the
Executive, as amended from time to time. 
 Effective this 7th day of December, 2007
