     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee entered into a Deferred Compensation Agreement,
dated as of July 23, 1996 (“Prior Agreement”), providing for the payment of certain deferred
compensation amounts to Employee; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee entered into an Employment Agreement, dated as of May 1,
2005 (“Employment Agreement”), which modified the Prior Agreement with respect to the deferred
compensation amounts to be credited to Employee each year during the Term of the Employment
Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to enter into this amended and restated Agreement
(the “Agreement”) to evidence the Company’s deferred compensation obligations under the Employment
Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Employee is considered a highly compensated employee and a member of a select
management group of the Company;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements herein
set forth, the parties hereto amend and restate the Prior Agreement as follows:

ARTICLE I

BENEFITS

     1.1 Deferred Compensation Account. (a) The Company shall continue to
maintain a deferred compensation account (“Account”) in the Employee’s name on its records. The
Account shall continue to be credited with the amounts credited to Employee pursuant to the Prior
Agreement. Commencing for the

1

 

fiscal year of the Company ending December 31, 2006, on or before May 1 on each year during
the Term of the Employment Agreement for which the Company’ s Annual Operating Income Targets are
met for the preceding fiscal year, the Company shall credit an amount to Employee’s Account equal
to $15,000, and for every 1% the actual Operating Income for such year exceeds the Annual Operating
Income Target, the amount credited to the Account shall be increased by $1,000, up to a maximum
aggregate annual credit of $30,000. The value of the Account shall be determined on each Valuation
Date (as hereinafter defined) as if the Account were invested in the “Vanguard Index Trust — 500
Portfolio” (or a similar index fund replacing such Index, “Vanguard Index Fund”), and as amounts
are credited to the Account, they will be treated as if they were invested as soon as practicable
in the Vanguard Index Fund (subject to any expenses or costs of such investment);
provided that, the Company may provide alternative investment options in which the Account is
deemed to be invested and may permit the Employee to elect periodically the investment option (or
options) in which his Account is deemed to be invested. When the Employee (or his beneficiary)
becomes entitled to payment of benefits under this Agreement, he
shall be entitled to receive the balance credited to his Account as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date (“Account Balance”).
The Valuation Date(s) shall be January 1st of each calendar year, and such other dates (if any) as
may be designated by the Company on which the Employee’s Account will be valued. The Employee’s
interest in his Account Balance shall at all times be 100% vested and nonforfeitable.

     (b) At such time as Employee shall retire  on or after his Normal Retirement Date (the
“Normal Retirement Date”) as provided in the Life of the South Corporation Profit Sharing Plan and
Trust or any retirement plan replacing or superseding same (the “Profit Sharing Plan”), or, if he
retires or terminates prior to such Normal Retirement Date, then when he reaches the date which
would have been his Normal Retirement Date (the applicable date being hereinafter referred to as
the “Payment Commencement Date”), the Company shall pay the Employee his Account Balance in one
hundred twenty (120) substantially equal monthly installments; provided, that the Employee may
elect at the time he first becomes covered under this Agreement to receive his benefits in a lump
sum on the Payment Commencement Date by electing such payment in the manner established by the
Employer, provided, further, that Employee shall have one additional opportunity to change his
payment election to receive either 120 monthly installments or a lump

2

 

sum, subject to the following conditions: (i) the change election must be made at least 12
months prior to the initial payment date, (ii) the payment date will be delayed for 5 years after
retirement, (iii) the change election will not be given effect for 12 months, and (iv) the change
election will be irrevocable. The balance in the Employee’s Account shall continue to be treated
as if it were invested as specified in
(a) above until the amount has been fully distributed to him. If the Employee terminates employment prior to his Payment
Commencement Date and dies prior to commencement of payments,  his designated beneficiary (as set forth on Schedule “A”)
shall receive the Account Balance that would otherwise have been
payable to the Employee, payable in a lump sum on the date that
would have been the Employee’s Payment Commencement Date.

     (c) Unless a lump sum is elected, the amount due Employee shall be paid in one hundred twenty
(120) substantially equal monthly installments. Such payments shall commence within thirty-one
(31) days after the Payment Commencement Date and shall be paid monthly on the same date of each
month thereafter for a period of ten (10) years following the Payment Commencement Date. If
Employee dies after the Payment Commencement Date but prior to the expiration of such 10-year
period, the remaining Account Balance which would otherwise have been paid to Employee shall be
paid in a lump sum to such person(s) as Employee shall designate by written instrument on Schedule
“A” attached hereto.

     (d) In the event of a Change in Control of the
Company, as defined in the Employee’s Employment Agreement and either (i) the Employee is
terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (ii) the
Employee terminates employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), within
twelve (12) months of such Change in Control, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive an
immediate lump sum payment of his Account Balance (but no further credits shall be made to his
Account after such payment). If, after a Change in Control, the Employee terminates employment
voluntarily without Good Reason or if his employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, then
his Account Balance shall be payable in accordance with subsection
(b) above.

     1.2 Death Benefit. If Employee dies while employed by the Company, the
Company shall make the remainder (if any) of the annual contributions to the Account required under
Section

3

 

1.1 (a) above for the prior fiscal year and pay his Account
Balance in a lump sum as soon as practical after his death to such person(s) as Employee shall
designate by written instrument in the form of Schedule “A” attached hereto. Employee shall have
the right to change the designated recipient (s) of this payment by delivering to the Company
prior to his death an amended and updated designation in the form of Schedule “A.” In the event
Employee shall fail, for purposes of Sections 1.1 or 1.2, to designate a recipient, prior to his
death in the manner described above, or if all such designations previously received by the Company
have been revoked by Employee under a written revocation delivered to the Company prior to
Employee’s death, the payment shall be made to Employee’s surviving spouse, or if Employee dies
without a spouse surviving him, then to the duly qualified executor or administrator of Employee’s
estate. Any person other than Employee who is to receive or who receives benefits under this
Agreement is herein referred to as a “designated recipient(s).”

     1.3 Conditions to Payment of Benefits.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all benefits payable under this Article I to
Employee or his designated recipient (s) shall not be payable and shall be forfeited in the event
and at the time Employee fails to meet or comply with the following conditions: Employee must
render such reasonable business consulting and advisory services as the Board of Directors of Life
of the South Corporation may call upon him to provide, and as his health may permit, from time to
time during the period from his Payment Commencement Date to the expiration of the 10-year period
during which benefits are payable hereunder or his death, whichever first occurs. In this regard,
it is understood that (i) such consulting and advisory services shall not require Employee to be
active in the day-to-day activities of the Company, (ii) Employee shall perform such services as an
independent contractor, and (iii) Employee shall be reimbursed for all ordinary and necessary
business expenses incurred in performing such services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
will Employee be required to perform any consulting services under this Section 1.3 for any
corporation or other entity which is a successor of Life of the South Corporation or which is
controlled by any such successor.

4

 

     1.4 Conformance with Section 409A.

     This Agreement shall be operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A. Any
action that may be taken (and, to the extent possible, any action actually taken) by the
Administrator or the Company shall not be taken (or shall be void and without effect), if such
action violates the requirements of Section 409A. Any provision in this Agreement that is
determined to violate the requirements of Section 409A shall be void and without effect. In
addition, any provision that is required to appear in this Agreement in accordance with Section
409A that is not expressly set forth shall be deemed to be set forth herein, and the Agreement
shall be administered in all respects as if such provision were expressly set forth.

ARTICLE II

UNFUNDED OBLIGATIONS

     The Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured promises to pay
the benefits provided for hereunder. The Company agrees to continue in effect a “rabbi trust” to
assist in meeting its obligations to Employee hereunder. The Company intends to fund such trust by
directing the Trustee to purchase shares of the Vanguard Index Fund (or a similar index fund), or
any alternative investment options established by the Company.

     The rights of Employee, any designated recipient of Employee or any other person claiming
through Employee under this Agreement, shall be solely those of an unsecured general creditor of
the Company. Employee, any designated recipient of Employee or any other person claiming through
Employee, shall only have the right to receive from the Company those payments which are specified
under this Agreement. Employee agrees that he, his designated recipient(s) or any other person
claiming through him shall have no rights or interests whatsoever in any asset of the Company.

ARTICLE III

INDEPENDENCE OF BENEFITS

     The benefits payable under this Agreement shall be independent of, and in addition to,
any other benefits or compensation payable by the Company to Employee, whether as

5

 

salary, bonus or otherwise. This Agreement does not involve a reduction in salary or a
foregoing of an increase in future salary by Employee and does not in any way affect or reduce the
existing and future compensation and other benefits of Employee.

ARTICLE IV

EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

     This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the
Company and Employee and shall not create any rights in Employee to continue in the Company’s
employ for any specific period of time or any other rights in Employee or obligations on the part
of the Company, except as are expressly set forth herein. No provision of this Agreement shall
restrict the right of the Company to discharge Employee, with or without cause, or restrict the
right of Employee to terminate his employment with the Company.

ARTICLE V

NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS

     No right or benefit under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign,
pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any
manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of Employee or his
designated recipient(s). If Employee or any such recipient shall become bankrupt or attempt to
anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit hereunder, then
such right or benefit shall, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, cease and
terminate, and in such event, the Company may hold or apply same or any part thereof for the
benefit of Employee or his designated recipient (s), his spouse, children or other dependents, or
any of them, in such manner and in such proportion as the Board of Directors of the Company may
deem proper under the then existing circumstances.

6

 

ARTICLE VI

AGREEMENT BINDING ON SUCCESSORS

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into as of this 1st
day of January, 2006, by and between LIFE OF THE SOUTH CORPORATION, a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), and RICHARD
S. KAHLBAUGH (the “Employee”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee entered into an Employment Agreement, dated as of
May 1, 2005 (“Employment Agreement”), providing for the crediting of certain deferred
compensation amounts to Employee each year during the Term of the Employment Agreement if
the Company satisfies certain financial targets; and

     WHEREAS, THE Company and Employee desire to enter into this Agreement to evidence the
Company’s deferred compensation obligations under the Employment Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Employee is considered a highly compensated employee and a member of a
select management group of the Company;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements
herein set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

BENEFITS

     1.1 Deferred Compensation Account. (a) The Company shall establish a
deferred compensation account (“Account”) in the Employee’s name on its records.
Commencing for the fiscal year of the Company ending December 31, 2005, on or before May 1
of each year during the Term of the Employment Agreement for which the Company’s Annual
Operating Income Targets are met for the preceding fiscal year, the Company shall credit
an amount to Employee’s Account equal to $15,000, and for every 1% the actual Operating
Income for such year exceeds the Annual Operating Income Target, the amount credited to
the Account shall be increased by $1,000, up to a maximum aggregate annual credit of

1

 

$30,000. The value of the Account shall be determined on each Valuation Date (as hereinafter
defined) as if the Account were invested in the “Vanguard Index Trust — 500 Portfolio” (or a
similar index fund replacing such Index, “Vanguard Index Fund”), and as amounts are credited to the
Account, they will be treated as if they were invested as soon as practicable in the Vanguard Index
Fund (subject to any expenses or costs of such investment); provided that, the Company may provide
alternative investment options in which the Account is deemed to be invested and may permit the
Employee to elect periodically the investment option (or options) in which his Account is deemed to
be invested. When the Employee (or his beneficiary) becomes entitled to payment of benefits under
this Agreement, he shall be entitled to receive the balance credited to his Account as of the
immediately preceding Valuation Date (“Account Balance”). The initial adjustment of the Account
shall be made on January 1, 2007 for the change in the Vanguard Index Fund (or other investment
options) from the date an amount is first credited to Employee during 2006. The Valuation Date(s)
shall be January 1st of each calendar year, and such other dates (if any) as may be designated by
the Company on which the Employee’s Account will be valued. The Employee’s interest in his Account
Balance shall at all times be 100% vested and nonforfeitable.

     (b) At such time as Employee shall retire on or after his Normal Retirement Date (the
“Normal Retirement Date”) as provided in the Life of the South Corporation Profit Sharing Plan and
Trust or any retirement plan replacing or superseding same (the “Profit Sharing Plan”), or, if he
retires or terminates prior to such Normal Retirement Date, then when he reaches the date which
would have been his Normal Retirement Date (the applicable date being hereinafter referred to as
the “Payment Commencement Date”) , the Company shall pay the Employee his Account Balance in one
hundred twenty (120) substantially equal monthly installments; provided, that the Employee may
elect at the time he first becomes covered under this Agreement to receive his benefits in a lump
sum on the Payment Commencement Date by electing such payment in the manner established by the
Employer, provided, further, that Employee shall have one additional opportunity to change his
payment election to receive either 120 monthly installments or a lump sum, subject to the following
conditions: (i) the change election must be made at least 12 months prior to the initial payment
date, (ii) the payment date will be delayed for 5 years after retirement, (iii) the change election
will not be given effect for 12 months, and (iv) the change election will be

2

 

irrevocable. The balance in the Employee’s Account shall continue to be treated as if it were
invested as specified in (a) above until the amount has been fully distributed to him.
If the Employee terminates employment prior to his Payment
Commencement Date and dies prior to commencement of payments,
his designated beneficiary (as set forth on Schedule “A”) shall
receive the Account Balance that would otherwise have been
payable to the Employee, payable in a lump sum on the date that
would have been the Employee’s Payment Commencement Date.

     (c) Unless a lump sum is elected, the amount due
Employee shall be paid in one hundred twenty (120) substantially
equal monthly installments. Such payments shall commence within
thirty-one (31) days after the Payment Commencement Date and
shall be paid monthly on the same date of each month thereafter
for a period of ten (10) years following the Payment
Commencement Date. If Employee dies after the Payment
Commencement Date but prior to the expiration of such 10-year
period, the remaining Account Balance which would otherwise have
been paid to Employee shall be paid in a lump sum to such
person(s) as Employee shall designate by written instrument on
Schedule “A” attached hereto.

     (d) In the event of a Change in Control of the
Company, as defined in the Employee’s Employment Agreement and
either (i) the Employee is terminated by the Company without
Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (ii) the
Employee terminates employment for Good Reason (as defined in
the Employment Agreement), within twelve (12) months of such
Change in Control, then the Employee shall be entitled to
receive an immediate lump sum payment of his Account Balance
(but no further credits shall be made to his Account after such
payment). If, after a Change in Control, the Employee
terminates employment voluntarily without Good Reason or if his
employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, then his
Account Balance shall be payable in accordance with subsection
(b) above.

     1.2
Death Benefit. If Employee dies while employed by the Company, the Company shall make
the remainder (if any) of the annual contributions to the Account required under Section 1.1 (a)
above for the prior fiscal year and pay his Account Balance in a lump sum as soon as practical
after his death to such person(s) as Employee shall designate by written instrument in the form of
Schedule “A” attached hereto. Employee shall have the right to change the designated recipient(s)
of this

3

 

payment by delivering to the Company prior to his death an amended and updated designation in
the form of Schedule “A.” In the event Employee shall fail, for purposes of Sections 1.1 or 1.2,
to designate a recipient prior to his death in the manner described above, or if all such
designations previously received by the Company have been revoked by Employee under a written
revocation delivered to the Company prior to Employee’s death, the payment shall be made to
Employee’s surviving spouse, or if Employee dies without a spouse surviving him, then to the duly
qualified executor or administrator of Employee’s estate. Any person other than Employee who is to
receive or who receives benefits under this Agreement is herein referred to as a “designated
recipient (s) .”

     1.3 Conditions to Payment of Benefits.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all benefits payable under this Article I to
Employee or his designated recipient(s) shall not be payable and shall be forfeited in the event
and at the time Employee fails to meet or comply with the following conditions: Employee must
render such reasonable business consulting and advisory services as the Board of Directors of Life
of the South Corporation may call upon him to provide, and as his health may permit, from time to
time during the period from his Payment Commencement Date to the expiration of the 10-year period
during which benefits are payable hereunder or his death, whichever first occurs. In this regard,
it is understood that (i) such consulting and advisory services shall not require Employee to be
active in the day-to-day activities of the Company, (ii) Employee shall perform such services as an
independent contractor, and (iii) Employee shall be reimbursed for all ordinary and necessary
business expenses incurred in performing such services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
will Employee be required to perform any consulting services under this Section 1.3 for any
corporation or other entity which is a successor of Life of the South Corporation or which is
controlled by any such successor.

     1.4 Conformance with Section 409A.

     This Agreement shall be operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A. Any
action that may be taken (and, to the extent possible, any action actually taken) by the
Administrator or the Company shall not be taken (or shall be void and without effect), if such
action violates the requirements of Section 409A. Any provision in this Agreement

4

 

that is determined to violate the requirements of Section 409A shall be void and without effect.
In addition, any provision that is required to appear in this Agreement in accordance with Section
409A that is not expressly set forth shall be deemed to be set forth herein, and the Agreement
shall be administered in all respects as if such provision were expressly set forth.

ARTICLE II

UNFUNDED OBLIGATIONS

     The Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured promises
to pay the benefits provided for hereunder. The Company agrees to establish a “rabbi trust” to
assist in meeting its obligations to Employee hereunder. The Company intends to fund such trust by
directing the Trustee to purchase shares of the Vanguard Index Fund (or a similar index fund), or
any alternative investment options established by the Company.

     The rights of Employee, any designated recipient of Employee or any other person claiming
through Employee under this Agreement., shall be solely those of an unsecured general creditor of
the Company. Employee, any designated recipient of Employee or any other person claiming through
Employee, shall only have the right to receive from the Company those payments which are specified
under this Agreement. Employee agrees that he, his designated recipient(s) or any other person
claiming through him shall have no rights or interests whatsoever in any asset of the Company.

ARTICLE III

INDEPENDENCE OF BENEFITS

     The benefits payable under this Agreement shall be independent of, and in addition to,
any other benefits or compensation payable by the Company to Employee, whether as salary, bonus or
otherwise. This Agreement does not involve a reduction in salary or a foregoing of an increase in

compensation and other benefits of Employee.

ARTICLE IV

EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

     This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the
Company and Employee and shall not create any rights in Employee to continue in the Company’s
employ for any specific period of time or any other rights in Employee or obligations on the part

restrict the right of the Company to discharge Employee, with or without cause, or restrict the
right of Employee to terminate his employment with the Company.

anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right or benefit hereunder, then
such right or benefit shall, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, cease and
terminate, and in such event, the Company may hold or apply same or any part thereof for the
benefit of Employee or his designated recipient(s), his spouse, children or other dependents, or
any of them, in such manner and in such proportion as the Board of Directors of the Company may
deem proper under the then existing circumstances.

SCHEDULE “A”

Designation of

Death Benefit Recipient

     I, Richard S. Kahlbaugh, request that the Company show on its records that I have designated
[Illegible] as the primary designated
recipient(s), and [Illegible] as the secondary designated recipient(s)
of the Death Benefit payable under Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of my Deferred Compensation Agreement with
the Company dated August 18, 2006, and pay such Death Benefit to the above designated recipient(s)
as provided under the terms of such Agreement.

     The above secondary designated recipient (s) , if any, shall receive the above-described
payments only if none of my primary designated recipient(s) is living at the time such payments are
to commence.

     You are instructed to retain the above designated recipient(s) on your records until such time
as you receive a new “Designation of Death Benefit Recipient” form from me which changes this
Designation. If I have previously filed a Designation of this kind, it is hereby revoked and this
Designation shall take its place.
