SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

     THIS PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (the “Participation Agreement”) is entered into as of this 1st
day of September, 2005 by and between Community First Bank & Trust (the “Employer”), and Carl
Campbell, an executive of the Employer (the “Participant”).

RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, the Employer has adopted the (“Plan”) effective as August 16, 2005, and the
Administrator has determined that the Participant shall be eligible to participate in the Plan on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Participation Agreement and the Plan.

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

1. Definitions. Except as otherwise provided, or unless the context otherwise requires, the
terms used in this Participation Agreement shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan.

2. Plan. Plan means the Community First Bank & Trust Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan, as the same may be altered or supplemented in any validly executed Participation Agreement.

3. Incorporation of Plan. The Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, is
hereby incorporated into this Participation Agreement as if fully set forth herein, and the parties
hereby agree to be bound by all of the terms and provisions contained in the Plan. The Participant
hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and, subject to the foregoing, confirms his
understanding and acceptance of all of the terms and conditions contained therein.

4. Effective Date of Participation. The effective date of the Participant’s participation
in the Plan shall be September 1, 2005 (the “Participation Date”).

5. Normal Retirement Age. The Participant’s Normal Retirement Age for purposes of the Plan
and this Participation Agreement is age sixty-five (65).

6. Year of Service. Participant shall be credited with one (1) year of service for each
calendar year a Participant is employed by the Employer, whether such service began before or after
the Participation Date.

7. Prohibition Against Funding. Should any investment be acquired in connection with the
liabilities assumed under this Plan and Participation Agreement, it is expressly understood and
agreed that the Participants and Beneficiaries shall not have any right with respect to, or claim
against, such assets nor shall any such purchase be construed to create a trust of any kind or a
fiduciary relationship between the Employer and the Participants, their Beneficiaries, or any other
person. Any such assets shall be and remain a part of the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets
of the Employer, subject to the claims of its general creditors. It is the express intention of the
parties hereto that this arrangement shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I
of ERISA. The Participant shall be required to look to the provisions of the Plan and to the
Employer itself for enforcement of any and all benefits due under this Participation Agreement,
and, to the extent the Participant acquires a right to receive payment under the Plan and this
Participation Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
creditor of the Employer. The Employer shall be designated the
owner and beneficiary of any investment acquired in connection with its obligation under the Plan
and this Participation Agreement.

 

 

	8.	 	Provisions Related to SERP Benefit.

benefit of twenty-five percent (25%) of Participant’s average final base salary over

department.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Normal Retirement Vesting. Participant shall vest in their SERP Benefit
based on the following schedule:

vested in their SERP Benefit upon a Change of Control, as provided for herein. Upon
Change of Control, the payment of Participant’s SERP Benefit determined hereunder,
shall not be distributed to Participant or their Beneficiary until the Participant’s
employment with the Employer terminates. Upon Participant’s termination after a Change

of the date of termination and using the discount rate specified in Code Section 1274
in effect for the period of termination of the Participant’s aggregate SERP Benefit
shall be paid out in a lump sum distribution to Participant, or their Beneficiary, as
soon as administratively feasible.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Form of SERP Benefit Payment. Subject to the restrictions of Section

Participant’s death prior to Normal Retirement, such Participant’s Beneficiary(ies)
shall be entitled to a Pre-Retirement Death Benefit equal to the present value
(calculated as described in 8(d)) of the aggregate SERP Benefit payments, irrespective
of any vesting provisions herein. This Pre-Retirement Death Benefit shall be
distributed to Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) in a lump sum amount as soon as
administratively feasible upon Employer notification.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Disability. A Participant shall be one-hundred percent (100%) vested in
their Accrued SERP Benefit upon Disability, as provided for herein. For purposes of
this Plan, a Participant shall be considered
disabled if the Participant is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or
mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last
for a continuous period of not less

 

 

	 	 	 	than 12 months, receiving income replacement
benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and health plan
covering employees of the participant’s employer, or as defined by law.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Non-Compete Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contrary contained
herein, Participant acknowledges and agrees with the Employer that Participant’s
services to the Employer are unique in nature and that the Employer would be
irreparably damaged if Participant were to provide similar services to any person or
entity competing with the Employer. Participant accordingly covenants and agrees that
for a period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending one (1) year after he
or she ceases to be employed by the Employer, Participant will not directly or
indirectly own, operate, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render for
service, be employed by or assist in any way any entity within thirty (30) miles of any
Employer affiliated office which is competitive with the Employer. For purposes hereof,
an entity shall be considered to be “competing with” or “competitive with” the Employer
if its core business is in the banking and/or financial services industry. In the event
of Participant’s violation of this non-compete agreement, Employee shall immediately
forfeit all benefits associated with Participant’s participation in this Agreement back
to the Employer.

	9.	 	General Provisions

	 	(a)	 	No Assignment.
	 
	 	 	 	No benefit under the Participation Agreement shall be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge,
and any such action shall be void for all purposes of the Participation Agreement. No
benefit shall in any manner be subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities,
engagements, or torts of any person, nor shall it be subject to attachments or other
legal process for or against any person, except to such extent as may be required by
law.
