Board;
(c) For cause upon written notice from the Bank ("Cause" for
this purpose means (i) the willful and continued failure by Employee for a
significant period of time substantially to perform her duties with the Bank
(other than any such failure resulting from her disability) after a demand for
substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the Bank's Chief Executive
Officer, Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board which specifically
identifies the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer or Board of Directors
believes that Employee has not substantially performed her duties, (ii) the
willful engaging by Employee in gross misconduct materially and demonstratively
injurious to the Bank or (iii) the conviction of Employee of any crime involving
fraud or dishonesty); or (d) Upon thirty (30) days notice from Employee to Bank

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), holds or acquires beneficial

a number of shares of voting capital stock of the Bank which constitutes either
(A) more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares which voted in the election of
directors of the Bank at the shareholders' meeting immediately preceding such
determination, or (B) more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the Bank's then
outstanding shares entitled to vote.
(ii) A merger or consolidation to which the Bank is a
party (other than a pro forma transaction for a purpose such as changing the
state of incorporation or name of the Bank), if either (A) the Bank is not the
surviving corporation, or (B) the directors of the Bank immediately before the
merger or consolidation constitute less than a majority of the Board of
Directors of the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, the occurrence
described in clause (A) shall not constitute a change in control if the holders
of the Bank's voting capital stock immediately before the merger or
consolidation have the same proportional ownership of voting capital stock of
the surviving corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation.
(iii) All or substantially all of the assets of the Bank
are sold, leased, or disposed of in one transaction or a series of related
transactions.
(iv) An agreement, plan, contract, or other arrangement is
entered into providing any occurrence which, as defined in this Agreement, would
constitute a change in control.
The Bank hereby represents, warrants, and agrees that it shall give
prompt notice to Employee immediately upon learning of the consummation of any
of the events set forth in Paragraph 4(d) of this Agreement. If the Bank fails
to give such notice to Employee, the Bank shall be estopped from contesting, and
shall not contest, the adequacy of timeliness of any notice Employee may be
allowed or required to give following a change in control of the Bank.

only by a writing signed by both parties. No waiver by either party to this
Agreement at any time of any breach of the other party of, or compliance with,
any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at
the same or at any prior or subsequent time.
7. Counterparts; Construction. This Agreement may be executed in
several identical counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed
an original, but all such counterparts
shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be governed
by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of
North Carolina.
