Dobyns, Robert J. Stevens and Thomas J. Tolda.  Copies of each of these employment agreements are included as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference. The summary of each of the employment agreements below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the employment agreements, incorporated by reference herein.

Pursuant to his Employment Agreement, Tom L. Dobyns is to serve as the President of the Company and as the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank (the "Dobyns Employment Agreement").  The Dobyns Employment Agreement is effective as of December 18, 2012 and continues for a term of three years from that date.  Pursuant to the terms of the Dobyns Employment Agreement, Mr. Dobyns is to receive an annual base salary of $300,000, with annual increases in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Dobyns shall also be eligible to receive an annual bonus under the Company's annual incentive plan, the amount of which bonus shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board; provided, however, that for calendar year 2012, Mr. Dobyns will be entitled to a minimum bonus equal to at least 25% of his base salary.   The Dobyns Employment Agreement confirms a previous grant of options to Mr. Dobyns to purchase 75,000 shares of the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.  This option grant was effective November 22, 2011 (at the commencement of Mr. Dobyns' employment with the Company) and vests 20% per year over a five year period, with the first installment vesting one year from the date of grant.  The Dobyns Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Dobyns will periodically be eligible to receive additional equity awards in the sole discretion of the Board equal to 2% of the amount of certain future issuances of common stock, warrants or rights to acquire common stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") .  Any such future equity awards will be issued, if at all, at the same purchase price and on other terms per unit or share as the common stock or Common Stock Equivalent, including term, vesting and forfeiture, provided that any options granted shall vest in five annual installments vesting at the rate of 20% per year.  In the event Mr. Dobyns' employment is terminated without "cause" or if he resigns for "good reason," as such terms are defined in the Dobyns Employment Agreement, Mr. Dobyns will receive separation pay equal to an additional twelve months of his then current base salary, which separation pay is to be paid in equal installments during a twelve month period on the Company's regular payroll dates.   In the event Mr. Dobyns'  employment is terminated within 60 days prior to or within two years after the occurrence of a "change in control," as defined in the Dobyns Employment Agreement, Mr. Dobyns will receive, within 30 days of his termination of employment, a lump sum payment of twenty-four month's salary plus an amount equal to 50% of Mr. Dobyns' then current base salary.  In addition, upon a change in control, Mr. Dobyns shall be entitled to continuation of his coverage under the group medical care plan provided at the time of his termination of employment for a period of twelve months following such termination.  Further, in the event a change in control, all granted but unvested portions of any equity award granted to Mr. Dobyns shall vest immediately prior to the effective time of the change of control.
