EX-10.1

TransCommunity Financial Corporation

Change in Control Agreement

This Change in Control Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated this 26th day of September, 2006, by and between William B. Littreal (“Employee”) and TransCommunity Financial Corporation (the “Company”), shall become effective January 1, 2007.

1.

Change in Control 

In the event that  (i) a Change in Control, as defined herein, occurs during Employee’s employment as a full-time employee of the Company or any 100% owned subsidiary of the Company and (ii) within the period beginning on the date of closing of the Change of Control and ending one (1) year thereafter, (a) Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated, including voluntary cessation by Employee of employment, for any reason, except for fraud, dishonesty, embezzlement, gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) Employee is removed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company; (c) Employee’s job responsibilities are materially changed and restricted, (d) Employee’s annual salary rate is decreased, or (e) Employee’s office is based more than five (5) miles from the facility where Employee was located ninety (90) days prior to the announcement of the possible Change of Control, the Company will owe Employee severance pay. If severance pay is owed to Employee, the Company shall pay Employee, within thirty (30) days after the pertinent triggering event, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Employee's annual base salary in effect on the date of the pertinent triggering event plus (ii) the amount of bonus, if any, paid to the Employee during the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs, plus (iii) an additional amount which is sufficient to pay all federal, state and unemployment taxes on the amount in (i) and (ii) above and on this additional amount in item (iii).  In addition, for a period of one year following termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, the Company shall continue Employee’s participation in all employee benefit programs in which Employee participates immediately prior to termination, provided that Employee’s continued participation is possible under the applicable terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of such plans and programs. Employee’s continued participation in such plans and programs shall be at no greater cost to Employee than the cost paid by Employee immediately prior to termination. If Employee’s participation in any such plan or program is barred, the Company shall arrange, upon comparable terms, and at no greater cost to Employee than the cost paid by Employee for such benefits prior to termination, to provide Employee with benefits substantially similar to, or greater than, those which Employee is entitled to receive under any such plan or program.  Otherwise, the Company shall have no obligation to Employee if a Change in Control occurs.

2.

Definition of “Change in Control”

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” means the occurrence, with respect to TransCommunity Financial Corporation (for purposes of this Section 2, the “Company”) of any of an “Acquisition of Controlling Ownership” (as defined in clause 

(i) below), a “Business Combination” (as defined in clause (ii) below), a “Liquidation or Dissolution” (as defined in clause (iii) below) or if Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason except for fraud, dishonesty, embezzlement, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

“Acquisition of Controlling Ownership” means the acquisition (excluding any registered offerings of the Company’s stock)  by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than fifty percent (50%) of either (x) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Common Stock”) or (y) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Voting Securities”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this clause (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control:

(A)

any acquisition directly from the Company; 

(B)

any acquisition by the Company; 

(C)

any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company; or 

(D)

any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) of clause (ii) below.

(ii)

“Business Combination” means the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”) unless all of the following occur:

(A)

all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners respectively, of the Outstanding Common Stock and Outstanding Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Common Stock and Outstanding Voting Securities, as the case may be,

2

(B)

no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly,  more than thirty percent (30%) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination, or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and

(C)

at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Board of the Company immediately prior to the closing of such Business Combination or were elected by such majority at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination.

(iii)

“Liquidation or Dissolution” means the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

3.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Omnibus Provision

It is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid and provided in a manner, and at such time and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance.  In connection with effecting such compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the following shall apply: 

(i)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company is authorized to amend this Agreement, to delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in such manner as may be determined by it to be necessary or appropriate to comply, or to evidence or further evidence required compliance, with Section 409A of the Code (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder).  

(ii)

Neither the Employee nor the Company shall take any action to accelerate or delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in any manner which would not be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder).  Notwithstanding the foregoing: 

(A)

Payment may be delayed for a reasonable period in the event the payment is not administratively practical due to events beyond the recipient’s control such as where the recipient is not competent to receive the payment, there is a dispute as to amount due or the proper recipient of such payment, additional time is needed to calculate the amount payable, or the payment would jeopardize the solvency of the Company. 

(B)

Payments shall be delayed in the following circumstances:  (1) where the Company reasonably anticipates that the payment will violate the 

3

terms of a loan agreement to which the Company is a party and that the violation would cause material harm to the Company; or (2) where the Company reasonably anticipates that the payment will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable laws; provided that any payment delayed by operation of this clause (B) will be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the payment will not be limited or cause the violations described. 

(iii)

If the Employee is a specified employee of a publicly traded corporation as required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and any payment or provision of any benefit hereunder is subject to Section 409A any payment or provision of benefits in connection with a separation from service payment event (as determined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), as opposed to another payment event permitted under Section 409A, shall not be made until six months after the Employee’s separation from service (the “409A Deferral Period”).  In the event such payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during the 409A Deferral Period, the payments which would otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the payments shall be made as otherwise scheduled.  In the event benefits are required to be deferred, any such benefit may be provided during the 409A Deferral Period at the Employee’s expense, with the Employee having a right to reimbursement from the Company once the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled. 

4.
