FIRST CAPITAL BANK

EXECUTIVE ENDORSEMENT SPLIT DOLLAR AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into this 12th day of May, 2011, by First Capital Bank, a Virginia commercial bank located in Glen Allen, Virginia (the “Bank”) and Robert G. Watts, Jr. (the “Insured”).

RECITALS

The Insured is an executive and a key employee of the Bank. To encourage the Insured to remain an employee of the Bank, the Bank is willing to divide the death proceeds of one or more life insurance policies (collectively referred to hereinafter as the “policy”) on the Insured’s life.

The cash value of the policy and the Bank’s share of the death benefit proceeds will be used by the Bank to offset the costs of benefits the Bank provides its employees including the Insured.

The Insured’s share of the death benefit proceeds shall be payable solely from the policy. The Insured shall have no claim against the Bank for any death proceeds.

By executing this Agreement, the Insured consents to the Bank acquiring, owning, and holding the policy on his or her life for the purposes described herein. Subject to the specific terms and conditions of this Agreement, the details of the policy are described as follows:
