Dear Russ:
Based upon our recent discussions, FinPro, Inc. (“FinPro”) is pleased to submit this proposal to assist Carroll Community Bank (“the Bank”) in compiling a Strategic Business Plan, which will specifically address the deployment of capital raised in the stock offering.
1. Scope of Project
The Plan will be specifically designed to build and measure value for a five-year time horizon. As part of the Plan compilation, the following major tasks will be included:
| • | assess the regulatory, social, political and economic environment; |
| • | analyze the existing Bank markets from a: |
| • | demographic standpoint |
| • | competitive standpoint |
| • | document the internal situation assessment; |
| • | analyze the current ALM position; |
| • | analyze the CRA position; |
| • | compile a historical trend analysis; |
| • | perform detailed peer performance and comparable analysis; |
| • | assess the Bank from a capital markets perspective including comparison to national, regional, and similar size organizations; |
| • | identify and document strengths and weaknesses; |
| • | document the objectives and goals; |
| • | document strategies; |
| • | map the Bank’s general ledger to FinPro’s planning model; |
| • | compile five year projections of performance; and |
| • | prepare assessment of strategic alternatives to enhance value. |
As part of this process, FinPro will conduct one planning session with the Bank and its Board. The session will be a presentation and detailed discussion of the recommended plan scenario and its alternatives.

2. Requirements of the Bank
To accomplish the tasks set forth in this proposal, the following information and work effort is requested of the Bank:
| • | provide FinPro with all financial and other information, whether or not publicly available, necessary to familiarize FinPro with the business and operations of the Bank. |
| • | allow FinPro the opportunity, from time to time, to discuss the operation of the Bank business with bank personnel. |
| • | promptly advise FinPro of any material or contemplated material transactions which may have an effect on the day-to-day operations of the Bank. |
| • | have system download capability. |
| • | promptly review all work products of FinPro and provide necessary sign-offs on each work product so that FinPro can move on to the next phase. |
| • | provide FinPro with office space, when FinPro is on-site, to perform its daily tasks. The office space requirements consist of a table with at least two chairs along with access to electrical outlets for FinPro’s computers and a high speed internet connection. |
3. Term of the Agreement and Staffing
It is anticipated that it will take approximately three weeks of elapsed time to complete the tasks outlined in this proposal. The summary business plan document will be needed by February 15, 2011 with final business plan delivery expected the week of February 21, 2011. During this time, FinPro may be on-site at the Bank’s facilities on a regular basis, during normal business hours. Any future work that would require extra expense to the Bank will be proposed on separately from this engagement prior to any work being performed.
