 EXHIBIT 10.5(i) 
 Execution Copy 
 SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT 
 This Separation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of this 19th day of January, 2007, among HomeBanc Corp., a Georgia
corporation (the “Company”), and Patrick S. Flood (“Executive”). 
 Executive and the Company agree as follows:

 1. Executive’s position as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company was terminated on January 12, 2007. The
employment relationship between Executive and the Company will terminate on January 31, 2007 (the “Termination Date”). Executive’s termination is a termination by the Company “without Cause” for purposes of
Executive’s Employment Agreement with the Company, dated as of May 6, 2004 (the “Employment Agreement”). 
 2. Except to
the extent specifically provided below in Section 6 of this Agreement, this Agreement is not intended to and does not modify the terms of the Employment Agreement, which shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of Executive and the
Company from and after the Termination Date, to the extent applicable, including without limitation the post-termination restrictive covenants of Executive as provided in Section 14 of the Employment Agreement, the provisions pertaining to a
Change in Control of the Company in Sections 8(a) and 11 of the Employment Agreement, and the Cost of Enforcement provision in Section 12 of the Employment Agreement. 
 3. In accordance with the Employment Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Executive certain payments and to make certain benefits available to
Executive after the Termination Date. Such amounts and benefits are summarized on Exhibit A hereto and are qualified by the terms of the Employment Agreement, except as specifically modified by this Agreement. 
 4. No payments shall be made to Executive under this Agreement or the Employment Agreement until the later of (i) the Termination Date, or
(ii) the date that the Mutual Release attached here to as Exhibit B (the “Mutual Release”) shall have been executed and become irrevocable. 
 5. Executive shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of $12,068, as reimbursement for his private use of the Company’s aircraft in 2006. This repayment obligation is not contingent on the execution of the
Mutual Release and shall be deducted from his final paycheck for services through January 31, 2007. 
 6. The rights and obligations of
Executive and the Company under the Employment Agreement are hereby modified as follows: 
  

 (a) Section 8(a)(iv) of the Employment Agreement requires the Company to provide
Executive with reasonable outplacement services for a period of one year after the Termination Date, subject to a cap of $218,750. Executive hereby waives his rights to receive outplacement services provided by the Company, in exchange for a lump
sum payment of $50,000, which Executive may, but need not, apply to seeking outplacement services on his own behalf. 
 (b)
Executive hereby waives the right to have the Company subsidize any cost of his continuation of group health benefits after the Termination Date as provided in Section 8(a)(ii) of the Employment Agreement. For a period of 24 months after the
Termination Date, Executive and/or his dependents may continue to participate in any group health benefits of the Company to which they would otherwise be entitled to continue under COBRA; provided, however, that (i) Executive shall pay
the full COBRA cost of such coverage, and (ii) if Executive becomes employed with another employer (including self-employment) and receives group health benefits under another employer provided plan, the Company’s obligation to make such
group health benefits available to Executive shall cease, except as otherwise provided by law. 
 7. Executive shall return to the Company
promptly after the Termination Date all the Company property in Executive’s possession, including, but not limited to, the Company keys, credit cards, cellular phones, computer equipment, software and peripherals and originals or copies of
books, records, or other information pertaining to the Company’s business. Executive may retain any leased or Company automobile after the Termination Date at the sole cost of Executive. Executive and the Company agree to take such action as
may be required to transfer the existing lease on such automobile to Executive. 
 8. The Company shall continue to satisfy in full any
currently existing or hereafter arising indemnification obligations to Executive (whether arising by law, the Company’s bylaws or pursuant to separate indemnification agreements with the Company). The Company hereby acknowledges that
Executive’s service as an officer, director, or other fiduciary of the Company, any and all current or past subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company, and Executive’s past service as a member of any benefit or investment committee related
to the Company’s 401(k) Plan, were made at the request of the Company and are covered by all the Company’s indemnification obligations. Executive is deemed to be an “insured person” under the Company’s existing Directors and
Officers liability insurance for his period of service to the Company prior to the Termination Date. The Company agrees to maintain D&O insurance coverage in the future that provides former directors and officers substantially similar coverage
as then current directors and officers until all applicable statutes of limitations expire and to afford Executive substantially similar coverage under any D&O insurance arrangement that may be provided to then current directors and officers of
the Company as part of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Employment Agreement). All of these obligations shall also apply to any successor of the Company. Executive’s right to 

  

 - 2 - 

 
indemnification and insurance coverage as described in this Section 8 is conditioned upon his meeting the applicable standards of conduct and otherwise
meeting the qualifications for indemnification or coverage, as the case may be, under the terms provided in such arrangements. 
 9.
Agreement Not to Disparage. Executive and the Company agree that neither shall say, write or communicate in any manner anything substantially derogatory about the other, regardless of the truth or falsity of the information; provided, that
nothing contained herein is intended to or shall limit Executive’s or the Company’s ability to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations, to obtain any benefits under any bond and/or insurance policy, or to commence, institute,
prosecute or defend any lawsuit, action, claim or proceeding before or in any court, regulatory, governmental, arbitral or other authority. For purposes this Section 9, the “Company” means and includes the Company and its officers,
directors, employees, affiliates and representatives. 
 10. The Company and Executive agree that until January 12, 2007, Executive did
not have Good Reason to terminate his employment under the Employment Agreement. The Company and Executive intend for all payments under this Agreement to be either exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(“Section 409A”), or to comply with its requirements. Accordingly, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall at all times be operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, and the regulations and rulings
thereunder, including any transition rules. The Company and Executive shall take action, or refrain from taking any action, with respect to the payments and benefits under this Agreement that is reasonably necessary to comply with Section 409A.
To the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A, the payment of any deferred compensation payable or deliverable under this Agreement or the Employment Agreement shall be delayed for a period of six
months and one day after the Termination Date, and the Company shall pay interest on such delayed payments at the rate of 4.75% per annum; provided, however, Executive’s account in the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan shall only
earn such interest if the Deferred Compensation Plan does not otherwise provide a method for calculating earnings during such six-month period. The Company shall have no liability to Executive for any later determination by taxing authorities that a
particular payment or benefit should have been delayed for six months in order to avoid additional taxes under Section 409A, and Executive shall indemnify the Company for any liability the Company may incur based on any claimed failure to
report or withhold for Section 409A income resulting from such failure to delay payment. 
 11. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws. Exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any legal proceeding brought concerning any subject matter contained in this Agreement
shall be settled by arbitration as provided in the Employment Agreement. 
 12. This Agreement, together with the Employment Agreement and
the Mutual Release, represents the complete agreement between Executive and the Company 

  

 - 3 - 

 
concerning the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, other than
the Employment Agreement, as hereby modified. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives. 
 The parties to this Agreement have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first written above.

 THIS MUTUAL RELEASE (“Release”) is made and entered into effective as of
the          day of January, 2007, by and between Patrick S. Flood (“Executive”) and HomeBanc Corp. (the “Company”). This is the Release referred to in that certain Employment Agreement

corporations, predecessors, subsidiaries, affiliates, estates, successors, assigns, benefit plans, consultants, administrators, and attorneys (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Releasees”) from any and all claims, charges, actions,
causes of action, sums of money due, suits, debts, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, demands or liabilities (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Claims”) whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, which
Executive ever had or now has from the beginning of time up to the date of this Release (“Release”) is executed, including, but not limited to, claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit
Protection Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (and all of its amendments), the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, or any other federal or state statutes, all tort claims, all claims for wrongful employment termination or breach
of contract, and any other claims which Executive has, had, or may have against the Releasees on account of or arising out of Executive’s employment with or termination from the Company; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Release shall in any way diminish or impair (i) any rights of Executive to the benefits conferred or referenced in the Employment Agreement, as modified by the Separation Agreement, (ii) any benefits to which Executive is entitled under
the Company’s benefit plans or programs, (iii) any rights to indemnification that may exist from time to time under any Indemnification Agreement between Executive and the Company, or the Company’s certificate of incorporation or

 This Release and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. If any provision hereof is unenforceable or is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and this
document and its terms shall be construed and enforced as if such unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect, and the court or tribunal construing the provisions
shall add as a part hereof a provision as similar in terms and effect to such unenforceable provision as may be enforceable, in lieu of the unenforceable provision. 
 This document, together with the Employment Agreement and the Separation Agreement, represents the complete agreement between Executive and the Company concerning the termination of Executive’s employment with
the Company and the mutual release of claims and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, other than the Employment Agreement, as hereby modified.

 EXHIBIT 10.5(ii) 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 29th day of January, 2007 by and between HomeBanc Corp., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), and Kevin D. Race (“Executive”), to be effective as of the Effective Date, as defined in Section 1.

 BACKGROUND 
 Executive currently serves as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, pursuant to the terms of that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2004 (the “Prior Agreement”). The Company desires to
engage Executive as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company from and after the Effective Date, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Executive is willing to serve as such in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
From and after the Effective Date, the Prior Agreement will be superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Effective Date. The effective date of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) shall be January 12, 2007. 
 2. Employment and Directorship. 
 (a) Employment. Executive is hereby employed on the Effective Date as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Executive shall have the duties,
responsibilities and authority commensurate with such position as shall be assigned to him by the Board of Directors of the Company, which shall be consistent with the duties, responsibilities and authority of a Chief Executive Officer of a public
company engaged in similar lines of business to that engaged in by the Company and its subsidiaries from time to time. In his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Executive will report directly to the Board of Directors. 

(b) Directorship. Executive will continue to serve as a Director of the Company for such term(s), and upon such conditions, as
the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. In connection therewith, and as appropriate, the Company shall recommend to the shareholders of the Company Executive’s reelection to the Board. 
  

 3. Employment Period. Unless earlier terminated herein in accordance with Section 7 hereof,
Executive’s employment shall be for a term beginning on the Effective Date and ending on June 30, 2009 (the “Employment Period”). Beginning on June 30, 2007 and on each June 30 thereafter, the Employment Period shall,
without further action by Executive or the Company, be extended by an additional one-year period; provided, however, that either party may cause the Employment Period to cease to extend automatically, by giving written notice to the other
prior to any June 30 renewal date. Upon such notice, the Employment Period shall terminate upon the expiration of the then-current term, including any prior extensions. 
 4. Extent of Service. During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation, holiday, sick leave and Company-approved leave of
absence to which Executive is entitled in accordance with Company policies, Executive agrees to devote substantially all of his business time, attention, skill and efforts exclusively to the faithful performance of his duties hereunder. It shall not
be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to (i) devote reasonable time to charitable or community activities, (ii) serve on corporate, civic, educational or charitable boards or committees, subject to the Company’s standards of
business conduct or other code of ethics, (iii) deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements from time to time on an infrequent basis, and/or (iv) manage personal business interests and investments, subject to the Company’s
standards of business conduct or other code of ethics, and so long as such activities do not interfere in a material manner or on a routine basis with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities under this Agreement. 
 5. Compensation and Benefits. 
 (a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company will pay to Executive base salary at the rate of U.S. $700,000 per year (“Base Salary”), less normal withholdings, payable in approximately
equal bi-weekly or other installments as are or become customary under the Company’s payroll practices for its employees from time to time. The compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (or the full Board, if there is no
compensation committee) shall review Executive’s Base Salary annually and may increase (but not decrease) Executive’s Base Salary from year to year. Such adjusted salary then shall become Executive’s Base Salary for purposes of this
Agreement. The annual review of Executive’s salary by the Board will consider, among other things, Executive’s own performance, and the Company’s performance. 
 (b) Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all
incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs available to senior executive officers of the Company (“Peer Executives”), and on the same basis as such Peer Executives. Without limiting the foregoing, the
following shall apply: 
 (i) during the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to participate in the Company’s
executive bonus plan, pursuant to which 

  

 2 

 
he will have an opportunity to receive an annual cash bonus based upon the achievement of performance goals established from year to year by the compensation
committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (such cash bonus earned at the stated “goal” level of achievement being referred to herein as the “Target Bonus”). Executive’s Target Bonus shall be determined by the
compensation committee of the Board of Directors and shall, at plan, be 60% of Executive’s Base Salary for such year and shall not exceed 90% of Executive’s Base Salary for such year; and 
 (ii) during the Employment Period, Executive will be eligible for grants, under the Company’s long-term incentive plan or plans, of
restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights to acquire common stock of the Company (or such other stock-based awards as the Company makes to Peer Executives), having terms and determined in the same manner as awards to other Peer Executives,
unless Executive consents to a different type of award or different terms of such award than are applicable to other Peer Executives. Nothing herein requires the Board of Directors to make grants of stock-based awards in any year; and 
 (iii) in recognition of his promotion to the position of Chief Executive Officer, on the Effective Date, Executive received a special
award of 65,789 restricted stock units, which was granted under and pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, shall vest 20% per year over five years, and has the terms and conditions set forth in the
form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Certificate filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.8(II)(B) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. 
 (c) Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents shall be eligible for
participation in, and shall receive all benefits under, the welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company (including, without limitation, medical, prescription drug, dental, disability, employee life, dependent
life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) (“Welfare Plans”) to the extent available to other Peer Executives. 
 (d) Expenses. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in the course of performing his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement, in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company to the extent available to other Peer Executives with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Company will pay, or reimburse Executive for, the reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. 
  

 3 

 (e) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to
fringe benefits in accordance with the plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company available to other Peer Executives. Without limiting the foregoing, the following shall apply: 
 (i) Executive shall be provided with a leased automobile at least comparable to the automobile presently provided to Executive by the
Company on the Effective Date, plus reimbursement of the cost of maintaining (exclusive of fuel) and insuring such automobile; 
 (ii) Executive shall be reimbursed up to $5,000 per year for the documented cost of annual membership dues and fees and any assessments at one social, athletic, or country club; 
 (iii) Executive shall be reimbursed up to $3,000 per year for the documented cost of one annual physical examination by a physician of
Executive’s choice; and 
 (f) Vacation. During the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to such paid
vacation time as may be provided from time to time under any plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company available to other Peer Executives. 
 (g) Office and Support Staff. During the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to office, furnishings and equipment of similar type and quality made available to other Peer Executives. During the
Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to secretarial and other assistance reasonably necessary for the performance of his duties and responsibilities. 
 (h) D&O Insurance. During and for a period of three (3) years after the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to
director and officer insurance coverage for his acts and omissions while an officer and director of the Company on a basis no less favorable to him than the coverage provided current officers and directors. 
 6. Change of Control. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following
events: 
 (a) individuals who, on the Effective Date, constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Incumbent
Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of such Board, provided that any person becoming a director after the Effective Date and whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority
of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with
respect to the election or removal of directors 

  

 4 

 
(“Election Contest”) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any “person” (such term for
purposes of this Section 6 being as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and as used in Section 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than the Board (“Proxy
Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest, shall be deemed an Incumbent Director; or 
 (b) any person is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
either (i) 35% or more of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) or (ii) securities of the Company representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of directors (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this paragraph (b), the following acquisitions of Company Common Stock or Company
Voting Securities shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) an acquisition directly from the Company, (B) an acquisition by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, (C) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related
trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or (D) an acquisition pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (c) below); or 
 (c) the consummation of a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of
transaction involving the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (a “Reorganization”), or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (a “Sale”) or the acquisition of assets or stock of
another entity (an “Acquisition”), unless immediately following such Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition: (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding
Company Common Stock and outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 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 entity resulting from or surviving such Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition (including, without
limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or stock either directly or through one or more subsidiary entities, the “Surviving Entity”) in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition, of the outstanding Company Common Stock and the outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, and (B) no person
(other than (x) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (y) the Surviving Entity or its ultimate parent entity, or (z) any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by any of the foregoing) is the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 35% or more of the total common stock or 35% or more of the 

  

 5 

 
total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Entity, and (C) at least a majority of the members
of the board of directors of the Surviving Entity were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition (any Reorganization, Sale or
Acquisition which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”); or 
 (d) approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 7. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Death or Retirement. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death or Retirement during the Employment Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement”
shall mean normal retirement as defined in the Company’s then-current retirement plan, or if there is no such retirement plan, “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination after age 65 with at least ten years of service. 

(b) Disability. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability (as defined below) of Executive has occurred during
the Employment Period, it may give to Executive written notice of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such
written notice by Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Disability” shall have the same meaning as provided in the long-term disability plan or policy maintained by the Company and covering Executive. If no such long-term disability plan or policy is maintained, “Disability” shall
mean the inability of Executive, as determined by the Board, to perform the essential functions of his regular duties and responsibilities, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a medically determinable physical or mental illness which
has lasted (or can reasonably be expected to last) for a period of six consecutive months. At the request of Executive or his personal representative, the Board’s determination that the Disability of Executive has occurred shall be certified by
two physicians mutually agreed upon by Executive, or his personal representative, and the Company. Failing such independent certification (if so requested by Executive), Executive’s termination shall be deemed a termination by the Company
without Cause and not a termination by reason of his Disability. 
 (c) Termination by the Company. The Company may
terminate Executive’s employment during the Employment Period with or without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:

 (i) the willful and continued failure of Executive to perform substantially
Executive’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness, or following Executive’s delivery of notice of termination for Good Reason, and specifically excluding any
failure by Executive, after reasonable efforts, to meet performance expectations), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that
Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties, or 
 (ii) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal
conduct or gross misconduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Company, or 
 (iii) the commission by Executive, or a
plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Executive, to a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude. 
 For purposes of this
provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in
the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to
be done, by Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause under clause (i) or (ii) above unless and until there shall have been delivered to
Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board of the Company (excluding Executive, if Executive is a member of the Board), finding that, in the good faith
opinion of such Board, Executive is guilty of the conduct described in clause (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Such finding shall be effective to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause only if
Executive was provided reasonable notice of the proposed action and was given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard by the Board. 
 (d) Termination by Executive. Executive’s employment may be terminated by Executive for Good Reason or no reason. For purposes of this Agreement, unless written consent of Executive is obtained, “Good
Reason” shall mean: 
 (i) the assignment to Executive of duties inconsistent in material respect with Executive’s
position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as in effect on the Effective Date, or a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this
purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is 

  

 7 

 
remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive; provided, however, that the fact that Executive’s employment
after a Change in Control shall be with a non-publicly traded subsidiary of an entity resulting from or surviving the Change in Control, if that is the case, shall not of itself be deemed a material diminution in Executive’s position,
authority, duties or responsibilities for purposes of this subsection; 
 (ii) a reduction by the Company in Executive’s
Base Salary or Target Bonus as in effect on the Effective Date or, with respect to Executive’s Base Salary, as the same may be increased from time to time; 
 (iii) the failure by the Company (A) to continue in effect any compensation plan in which Executive participates as of the Effective
Date that is material to Executive’s total compensation, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect to such plan, or (B) to continue Executive’s participation
therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of Executive’s participation relative to other participants; or 
 (iv) the Company’s requiring Executive to be based at any office or location other than the Company’s principal executive
offices in the Greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area (Georgia); 
 (v) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy
16(c) of this Agreement; or 
 (vi) the material breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement; or

 (vii) any termination by Executive for any reason or no reason during the 30-day period beginning on the first anniversary
of a Change in Control. 
 Good Reason shall not include Executive’s death or Disability; provided that Executive’s
mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described in clause (i) – (vi) above shall not affect Executive’s ability to terminate for Good Reason. Except as provided in Section 8(a), Executive’s
continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason hereunder. Any claim of “Good Reason” under this Agreement shall be communicated by Executive to the
Company in writing, which writing shall specifically identify the factual details concerning the event(s) giving rise to Executive’s claim of Good Reason under 

  

 8 

 
this Section 7(d). The Company shall have an opportunity to cure any claimed event of Good Reason within 30 days of such notice from Executive.

 (e) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by Executive for Good Reason, shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 18(f) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the
provision so indicated, and (iii) specifies the termination date. The failure by Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive
any right of Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder. 
 (f) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the
Company for Cause, or by Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or a date within 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Termination, as specified in such notice, (ii) if Executive’s employment is
terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or a date within 90 days after receipt of the Notice of Termination, as specified in such notice,
(iii) if Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be, and (iv) if Executive’s
employment is terminated by Executive without Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall be 60 days following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Termination, unless the Company specifies an earlier Date of Termination. 
 8. Obligations of the Company upon Termination. 
 (a) Termination by Executive for Good Reason; Termination by the Company Other Than for Cause or Disability. If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate Executive’s employment other than
for Cause or Disability, or Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason during the 30-day period provided in Section 7(d)(vii) or during the 180-day period following the occurrence of the event described in clause (i) –
(vi) of Section 7(d) giving rise to Good Reason, then and, with respect to the payments and benefits described in clauses (i)(B) and (ii) below, only if Executive executes a mutual release in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto (the “Release”): 
  

 9 

 (i) the Company shall provide to Executive in a single lump sum cash payment within 30
days after the Date of Termination, or if later, within five days after the Release becomes effective and nonrevocable, the aggregate of the following amounts: 
 A. the sum of the following amounts, to the extent not previously paid to Executive (the “Accrued Obligations”):
(1) Executive’s Base Salary through the Date of Termination, (2) a pro-rata bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, computed as the product of (x) Executive’s Target Bonus for such year and (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365, (3) any accrued pay in lieu of unused vacation, and (4) unless Executive has a later
payout date that is required in connection with the terms of a deferral plan or agreement, any vested compensation previously deferred by Executive (together with any amount equivalent to accrued interest or earnings thereon); and 
 B. a severance payment as determined pursuant to clause (x) or (y) below, as applicable: 
 (x) if the Date of Termination occurs before, or more than two years after, the occurrence of a Change of Control, the severance payment
shall be the product of 24 (the “Regular Severance Factor”) times one twelfth of the sum of (1) Executive’s Base Salary in effect as of the Date of Termination (ignoring any decrease in Executive’s Base Salary unless
consented to by Executive), and (2) the greater of the average of the annual cash bonuses earned by Executive for the two fiscal years in which annual cash bonuses were paid immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination
occurs, or Executive’s Target Bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs; or 
 (y) if the Date of
Termination occurs within two years after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the severance payment shall be the product of 30 (the “Change of Control Severance Factor”) times one twelfth of the sum of (1) Executive’s Base
Salary in effect as of the Date of Termination, and (2) the greater of the average of the annual cash bonuses earned by Executive for the two fiscal years in which annual cash bonuses were paid immediately preceding the year in which the Date
of Termination occurs, or Executive’s Target Bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs. As used herein, the term “cash Bonus” excludes any benefit or other compensation paid to Executive that is not specifically
characterized as such by the Company. By way of example, any awards granted to Executive 

  

 10 

 
pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan would not constitute “cash Bonus”; and 
 (ii) the Company shall continue to provide, for a number of months equal to the Regular Severance Factor or the Change of Control
Severance Factor (determined in Section 8(a)(i)(B)(x) or (y) above, as applicable) after Executive’s Date of Termination (the “Welfare Benefits Continuation Period”), or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of
the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, any group health benefits to which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents would otherwise be entitled to continue under COBRA, or benefits substantially equivalent to those group
health benefits which would have been provided to them in accordance with the Welfare Plans described in Section 5(c) of this Agreement if Executive’s employment had not been terminated, provided, however, that if Executive becomes
employed with another employer (including self-employment) and receives group health benefits under another employer provided plan, the Company’s obligation to provide group health benefits described herein shall cease, except as otherwise
provided by law and provided, further, that the Welfare Benefits Continuation Period shall run concurrently with any period for which Executive is eligible to elect health coverage under COBRA; and 
 (iii) all grants of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other equity awards granted by the Company and held by
Executive as of the Date of Termination will become immediately vested and exercisable as of the Date of Termination and, to the extent necessary, this Agreement is hereby deemed an amendment of any such equity award; and 
 (iv) the Company shall provide Executive with the option to accept either: (A) reasonable outplacement services for a period of one
year, provided that the Company shall be obligated to pay not more than $75,000, to the outplacement service provider and that the period of services may be shortened to such extent, or (B) $25,000 in a lump sum paid directly to Executive; and

 (v) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to Executive any other
amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided under any plan, program, policy or practice of the Company in which Executive was participating as of the Date of Termination (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as
the “Other Benefits”). Executive’s entitlement to any such Other Benefits shall be determined in accordance with such plan, program, policy or practice of the Company as then in effect. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in
this Agreement entitles Executive to continue 

  

 11 

 
participation in any benefit plan, program, policy or practice after the Date of Termination. 
 If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control and if it can
reasonably be shown that Executive’s termination (i) was at the direction or request of a third party that had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control after such termination, or (ii) otherwise occurred in
anticipation of a Change in Control, and in either case a Change in Control as defined hereunder does, in fact, occur, then Executive shall have the rights described in this Section 8(a) as if the Change in Control had occurred on the date
immediately preceding the Date of Termination. 
 (b) Death, Disability or Retirement. If Executive’s employment
is terminated by reason of his death, Disability or Retirement during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive or his estate, beneficiaries or legal representatives, other than for payment of
Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive or his estate, beneficiary or legal representative, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of
Termination. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as used in this Section 8(b) shall include, without limitation, and Executive or his estate, beneficiaries or legal representatives, as applicable, shall be
entitled to receive, benefits under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death, disability or retirement benefits, if any, as are applicable to Executive or his family on the Date of Termination. 
 (c) Cause or Voluntary Termination without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the
Employment Period, or if Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period without Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations (excluding
the pro-rata bonus described in clause 2 of Section 8(a)(i)(A)) and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. 
 (d) Expiration of Employment Period. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated due to the normal expiration of the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, other than for
payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. 
 (e) Resignations. Termination
of Executive’s employment for any reason whatsoever shall constitute Executive’s resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company and resignation as an officer of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates. 
  

 12 

 9. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s
continuing or future participation in any employee benefit plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which Executive may qualify, except as specifically provided herein. Amounts which are vested benefits or which Executive is
otherwise entitled to receive under any employee benefit plan, policy, practice or program of the Company, its subsidiaries or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan,
policy, practice or program except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 
 10. Full Settlement; No Obligation to Mitigate. The
Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the
Company may have against Executive or others. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and,
except as explicitly provided herein, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment. 
 11. Certain
Additional Payments by the Company. 
 (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set
forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but
determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 11) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be
entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any
income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 11(a), if it shall be determined that Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that Executive, after taking into account the Payments and the Gross-Up Payment, would not receive a net after-tax
benefit of at least $50,000 (taking into account both income taxes and any Excise Tax) as compared to the net after-tax proceeds to Executive resulting from an elimination of the Gross-Up Payment and a reduction of the Payments, in the aggregate, to
an amount (the “Reduced Amount”) such that the receipt of Payments would not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Executive and the Payments, in the aggregate, shall be 

  

 13 

 
reduced to the Reduced Amount. Executive may select the Payments to be limited or reduced. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 11(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 11, including whether
and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a certified public accounting firm selected by Executive (other than the
Company’s regular accounting firm) and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of
notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to
this Section 11, shall be paid by the Company to Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the
uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made
(“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 11(c) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax,
the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive. 
 (c) Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the
payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment (or an additional Gross-Up Payment). Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the
Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which he gives such notice to the Company (or such
shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall: 

(i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, 
 (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,

  

 14 

 
including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company, 
 (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and 
 (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; 
 provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of
costs and expenses. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 11(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest (to the extent applicable to the Excise Tax and the Gross-Up Payment) and,
at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue
for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company
shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold
Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further
provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the
Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal
Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
 (d) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company
pursuant to Section 11(c), Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 11(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount
of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 11(c), a determination is made that Executive shall
not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the 

  

 15 

 
Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then
such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 
 12. Costs of Enforcement. The Company shall reimburse Executive, on a current basis, for all reasonable legal fees and related expenses incurred
by Executive in connection with the original negotiation of this Agreement. Thereafter, any dispute between the parties relating to the terms of this Agreement or the termination of Executive’s employment shall be determined by arbitration as
provided in Section 15 hereof and, subject to any award of attorneys’ fees and costs by the arbitrator, each party shall bear its own legal costs and expenses in such arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be entitled
to be paid all reasonable legal fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit hereunder. All such payments
shall be made within five business days after delivery of Executive’s respective written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require. 
 13. Representations and Warranties. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is not a party to, or otherwise subject
to, any covenant not to compete with any person or entity, and Executive’s execution of this Agreement and performance of his obligations hereunder will not violate the terms or conditions of any contract or obligation, written or oral, between
Executive and any other person or entity. 
 14. Restrictions on Conduct of Executive. 
 (a) General. Executive and the Company understand and agree that the purpose of the provisions of this Section 14 is to
protect legitimate business interests of the Company, as more fully described below, and is not intended to impair or infringe upon Executive’s right to work, earn a living, or acquire and possess property from the fruits of his labor.
Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive has received good and valuable consideration for the post-employment restrictions set forth in this Section 14 in the form of the compensation and benefits provided for herein. Executive hereby
further acknowledges that the post-employment restrictions set forth in this Section 14 are reasonable and that they do not, and will not, unduly impair his ability to earn a living after the termination of this Agreement. 
 In addition, the parties acknowledge: (A) that Executive’s services under this Agreement require unique expertise and talent in
the provision of Competitive Services and that Executive will have substantial contacts with customers, suppliers, advertisers and vendors of the Company; (B) that pursuant to this Agreement, Executive will be placed in a position of trust and

  

 16 

 
responsibility and he will have access to a substantial amount of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets and that the Company is placing him in such
position and giving him access to such information in reliance upon his agreement not to solicit customers during the Restricted Period; (C) that due to Executive’s unique experience and talent, the loss of Executive’s services to the
Company under this Agreement cannot reasonably or adequately be compensated solely by damages in an action at law; (D) that Executive is capable of competing with the Company; and (E) that Executive is capable of obtaining gainful,
lucrative and desirable employment that does not violate the restrictions contained in this Agreement. 
 Therefore,
Executive shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 14.

 (c) Restrictive Covenants. 
 (i) Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. Executive understands and agrees that the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets constitute valuable assets of the
Company and its affiliated entities, and may not be converted to Executive’s own use. Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time during the Restricted Period reveal, divulge, or disclose
to any Person not expressly authorized by the Company any Confidential Information, and Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time during the Restricted Period use or make use of any Confidential Information in connection with any
business activity other than that of the Company. Throughout the term of this Agreement and at all times after the date that this Agreement terminates for any reason, Executive shall not directly or indirectly transmit or disclose any Trade Secret
of the Company to any Person, and shall not make use of any such Trade Secret, directly or indirectly, for himself or for others, without the prior written consent of the Company. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended
to, and does not, alter either the Company’s rights or Executive’s obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade secrets and unfair trade practices. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive shall not be restricted from disclosing or using Confidential Information or
any Trade Secret that is required to be disclosed by law, court order or other legal process; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by law, Executive shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement so
that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by Executive. 
 Executive
acknowledges that any and all Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Company and agrees to deliver to the Company on the Date of Termination, or at any other time the Company 

  

 19 

 
may request in writing, any and all Confidential Information which he may then possess or have under his control in whatever form same may exist, including,
but not by way of limitation, hard copy files, soft copy files, computer disks, and all copies thereof. 
 (ii)
Nonsolicitation of Protected Employees. Executive understands and agrees that the relationship between the Company and each of its Protected Employees constitutes a valuable asset of the Company and may not be converted to Executive’s
own use. Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly on Executive’s own behalf or as a Principal or Representative of any Person or otherwise solicit or induce any Protected
Employee to terminate his employment relationship with the Company or to enter into employment with any other Person. 
 (iii) Restriction on Relationships with Protected Customers. Executive understands and agrees that the relationship between the Company and each of its Protected Customers constitutes a valuable asset of the Company and may not be
converted to Executive’s own use. Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, on Executive’s own behalf or as a
Principal or Representative of any Person, solicit, divert, take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away a Protected Customer for the purpose of providing or selling Competitive Services; provided, however, that the prohibition of
this covenant shall apply only to Protected Customers with whom Executive had Material Contact on the Company’s behalf during the 12 months immediately preceding the Date of Termination; and, provided further, that the prohibition of
this covenant shall not apply to the conduct of general advertising activities. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive had “Material Contact” with a Protected Customer if (a) he had business dealings with the Protected Customer on
the Company’s behalf; (b) he was responsible for supervising or coordinating the dealings between the Company and the Protected Customer; or (c) he obtained Trade Secrets or Confidential Information about the customer as a result of
his association with the Company. 
 (iv) Ownership of Work Product. Executive acknowledges that the Work Product
belongs to the Company or its affiliates and Executive hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, all of the Work Product to the Company or its affiliates. Any copyrightable work prepared in whole or in part by Executive in the course of his work for any
of the foregoing entities shall be deemed a “work made for hire” under the copyright laws, and the Company or such affiliate shall own all rights therein. To the extent that any such copyrightable work is not a “work made for
hire,” Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company or such 

  

 20 

 
affiliate all right, title, and interest, including without limitation, copyright in and to such copyrightable work. Executive shall promptly disclose such
Work Product and copyrightable work to the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm the Company’s or such affiliate’s ownership (including,
without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney, and other instruments). 
 (v) Third Party Information.
Executive understands that the Company and its affiliates will receive Third Party Information. During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 14(c)(i) above, Executive will hold Third
Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of the Company or its affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company or its affiliates) or use, except in
connection with his work for the Company or its affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board (other than Executive) in writing. 
 (vi) Use of Information of Prior Employers. During the Employment Period, Executive will not improperly use or disclose any
confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and will not bring onto the premises of the Company or any of its affiliates any unpublished
documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to by in writing the former employer or person. Executive will use in the performance of his
duties only information which is (i) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s and which is (x) common knowledge in the industry or (y) is otherwise legally in the public domain,
(ii) is otherwise provided or developed by the Company or its affiliates or (iii) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality,
approved for such use in writing by such former employer or person. 
 (d) Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants.

 (i) Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. In the event Executive breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of
the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall have the right and remedy to enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, Executive from violating or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the Restrictive Covenants
specifically enforced by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the 

  

 21 

 
Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. Such right
and remedy shall be independent of any others and severally enforceable, and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity. 
 (ii) Severability of Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in time
and scope and in all other respects. The covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be considered and construed as separate and independent covenants. Should any part or provision of any covenant be held invalid, void or unenforceable, such
invalidity, voidness or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement. If any portion of the foregoing provisions is found to be invalid or unenforceable because its duration, the
territory, the definition of activities or the definition of information covered is considered to be invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable term shall be redefined, or a new enforceable term provided, such that the intent of
the Company and Executive in agreeing to the provisions of this Agreement will not be impaired and the provision in question shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws. 
 (iii) Reformation. The parties hereunder agree that it is their intention that the Restrictive Covenants be enforced in accordance
with their terms to the maximum extent possible under applicable law. The parties further agree that, in the event any tribunal of competent jurisdiction shall find that any provision hereof is not enforceable in accordance with its terms, the
tribunal shall reform the Restrictive Covenants such that they shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible at law. 
 15.
Arbitration. Any claim or dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, or validity of any term of this Agreement, including, but not by way of limitation, the legality and enforceability of the Restrictive
Covenants, shall be subject to arbitration, and prior to commencing any court action, the parties agree that they shall arbitrate all controversies; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 15 shall prohibit the Company from
exercising its right under Section 14(d)(i) to pursue injunctive remedies with respect to a breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants. The arbitration shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, in accordance with the Employment
Dispute Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et. seq. The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to award both liquidated and actual damages, in addition to injunctive relief, but no
punitive damages. The arbitrator(s) may also award attorney’s fees and costs, without regard to any restriction on the amount of such award under Georgia or other applicable law. Such an award shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties
hereto, subject to 9 

  

 22 

 
U.S.C. §10. Each party shall have the right to have the award made the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 16. Assignment and Successors. 
 (a) This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representatives. 
 (b) This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. 
 (c) The Company will require any
Surviving Entity resulting from a Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition (if other than the Company) to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if
no Reorganization, Sale or Acquisition had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform
this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 
 17. Code Section 409A. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute “deferred
compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of Executive’s separation from service, then if and to the extent necessary to comply with Code
Section 409A: (i) if the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit is payable in a lump sum, such payment or distribution will be delayed until the first day following the six-month anniversary of Executive’s separation from
service, and (ii) if the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit is payable over time, the amount that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following Executive’s separation from service will be
accumulated and paid to Executive on the first day following the six-month anniversary of Executive’s separation from service, whereupon the normal payment or distribution schedule will resume. In the case of any such delayed payment, the
Company shall pay interest on the deferred amount at 100% of the short-term applicable federal rate as in effect for the month in which the Date of Termination occurred (the “AFR”). 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if and to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A:
(i) for the first six months of the Welfare Benefits Continuation Period, Executive shall pay the full cost of provision of health insurance coverage provided by the Company to Executive and Executive’s dependant family members under this
Agreement, (ii)

  

 23 

 
on the first day following the six-month anniversary of Executive’s separation from service, the Company will reimburse Executive for the cost of such
first six-months coverage that would otherwise have been payable or otherwise contributed by the Company, plus interest at the AFR, and (iii) thereafter, the Company will resume its obligations to provide such coverage for the remainder of the
Welfare Benefits Continuation Period, as provided in the Agreement. 
 18. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Waiver. Failure of either party to insist, in one or more instances, on performance by the other in strict accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any right granted in this Agreement or of the future performance of any such term or condition or of any other term or condition of this Agreement, unless such
waiver is contained in a writing signed by the party making the waiver. 
 (b) Severability. If any provision or
covenant, or any part thereof, of this Agreement should be held by any tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the
validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or covenants, or any part thereof, of this Agreement, all of which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (c) Other Agents. Nothing in this Agreement is to be interpreted as limiting the Company from employing other personnel on
such terms and conditions as may be satisfactory to it, except that this Section 18(c) shall not override the provision of Section 7(d)(i). 
 (d) Entire Agreement. Except as provided herein, this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and, from and after the Effective Date,
this Agreement shall supersede any other agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including without limitation, the Prior Agreement. 
 (e) Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, and without regard to conflict of laws principles, the laws of
the State of Georgia shall govern this Agreement in all respects, whether as to its validity, construction, capacity, performance or otherwise. 
 (f) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered or three days after mailing if
mailed, first class, certified mail, postage prepaid:

 (i) Withholding. The Company or its subsidiaries, if applicable, shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from any amounts owing from the Company or any such affiliate to Executive any federal, state, local or foreign withholding
taxes, excise taxes, or employment taxes (“Taxes”) imposed with respect to Executive’s compensation or other payments from the Company or any of its affiliates. In the event the Company or its affiliates do not make such deductions or

 EXHIBIT A 
 Form of Release 
 MUTUAL RELEASE 
 THIS MUTUAL RELEASE (“Release”) is made and entered into effective as of the          day of
                    , 20        , by and between Kevin D. Race (“Executive”) and
HomeBanc Corp. (the “Company”). This is the Release referred to in that certain Employment Agreement dated as of January         , 2007 by and between the Company and Executive (the
“Employment Agreement”), with respect to which this Release is an integral part. 
 FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the payments and
benefits provided by Section 8 of the Employment Agreement and the Company’s other promises and covenants as recited in the Employment Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Executive, for himself, his
successors and assigns, now and forever hereby releases and discharges the Company and all its past and present officers, directors, employees, agents, parent corporations, predecessors, subsidiaries, affiliates, estates, successors, assigns,
benefit plans, consultants, administrators, and attorneys (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Releasees”) from any and all claims, charges, actions, causes of action, sums of money due, suits, debts, covenants, contracts, agreements,
promises, demands or liabilities (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Claims”) whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, which Executive ever had or now has from the beginning of time up to the date this Release
(“Release”) is executed, including, but not limited to, claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (and all of its amendments),
the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, or any other federal or state statutes, all tort claims, all claims for wrongful employment termination or breach of contract, and any other claims which Executive has, had, or may have against the
Releasees on account of or arising out of Executive’s employment with or termination from the Company; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Release shall in any way diminish or impair (i) any rights of Executive to the
benefits conferred or referenced in the Employment Agreement, (ii) any benefits to which Executive is entitled under the Company’s benefit plans or programs, (iii) any rights to indemnification that may exist from time to time under
any Indemnification Agreement between Executive and the Company, or the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or Georgia law, or (iv) Executive’s ability to raise an affirmative defense in connection with any lawsuit or
other legal claim or charge instituted or asserted by the Company against Executive (collectively, the “Excluded Claims”). 
 Executive specifically acknowledges and agrees that he has knowingly and voluntarily released the Company and all other Releasees from any and all claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”),
29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq., which Executive ever had or now has from the beginning of time up to the date this Release is executed, including but not limited to those claims which are in any way 

 
connected with any employment relationship or the termination of any employment relationship which existed between the Company and Executive. Executive
further acknowledges and agrees that he has been advised to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release and that he has been given twenty-one (21) days to consider this Release prior to its execution. Executive also understands
that he may revoke this Release at any time within seven (7) days following its execution. Executive understands, however, that this Release shall not become effective and that none of the consideration described above shall be paid to him
until the expiration of the seven-day revocation period. 
 For and in consideration of Executive’s release above and Executive’s
agreement to the covenants in Section 14 of the Employment Agreement, the Company, on behalf of itself, its subsidiaries and any related or successor corporation or entity, does hereby release and forever discharge Executive, his heirs,
representatives, successors and agents (“Executive Releasees”) from any and all claims, charges, actions, causes of action, sums of money due, suits, debts, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, demands, liabilities, damages, losses
or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred) of any kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown (“Company Claims”), which the Company has, may have, or later claim to have had against any of the
Executive Releasees arising out of anything that has occurred up to the date of this release, including any Company Claims against any of Executive Releasees arising out of Executive’s employment with the Company or Executive’s termination
of employment. This Release shall not apply to (i) any breach of Executive’s covenants under Section 14 of the Employment Agreement, (ii) any breach by Executive of this Release, or (iii) any actions, any causes of action,
claims or demands for any damage, loss or injury that any party may have, may have had, or purport to have against Executive or the Company, whether known or unknown, which arise from the criminal or ultra vires acts or omissions of
Executive. 
 This Release and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Georgia. If any provision hereof is unenforceable or is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and this document and its terms shall be construed and enforced as if such unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part hereof, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect, and the court or tribunal construing the provisions shall add as a part hereof a provision as similar in terms and effect to such unenforceable provision
as may be enforceable, in lieu of the unenforceable provision. 
 This document, together with the Employment Agreement, represents the
complete agreement between Executive and the Company concerning the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and the mutual release of claims and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, other than the
Employment Agreement.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and Executive acknowledge that they have read and fully understand and
accept this Release, and that they have signed it knowingly and voluntarily this          day of
                    , 20        .
