AGREEMENT

1.    Director Support. The Undersigned agrees to use his or her best efforts to refrain from harming the goodwill and business relationships of Spirit, Spirit Bank, the Company, the Bank and their respective Subsidiaries, and their respective customer and client relationships during the term of this Agreement.

2.    Non-Disclosure Obligations.

The Undersigned also agrees that he or she shall deliver promptly to Spirit or the Company at any time at its reasonable request, without retaining any copies, all documents and other material in the Undersigned’s possession at that time relating, directly or indirectly, to any Confidential Information or other information of Spirit, Spirit Bank, the Company or the Bank, or Confidential Information or other information regarding third parties, learned in such person’s position as a director, officer, employee or shareholder of the Company or the Bank, as applicable.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means and includes Spirit’s, Spirit Bank’s, the Company’s and the Bank’s confidential and/or proprietary information and/or trade secrets, including those of their respective Subsidiaries, that have been and/or will be developed or used and that cannot be obtained readily by third parties from outside sources.

The term “Confidential Information” does not include any information that (a) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and known to the public, other than by a breach of this Agreement by the disclosing party; (b) was available to the disclosing party, prior to disclosure by Spirit, Spirit Bank, the Company or the Bank, as applicable, on anon-confidential basis from a source other than the Undersigned and is not known by the Undersigned, after reasonable investigation, to be subject to any fiduciary, contractual or legal obligations of confidentiality; or (c) was independently acquired or developed by the Undersigned without violating any obligations of this Agreement. The Undersigned acknowledges that Spirit’s, Spirit Bank’s, the Company’s and the Bank’s respective businesses are highly competitive, that this Confidential Information

constitutes valuable, special and unique assets to be acquired by Spirit in the Merger and constitutes existing valuable, special and unique assets held by the Companypre-Merger, and that protection of such Confidential Information against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to Spirit.

3.    Non-Competition Obligations. The Undersigned agrees that, for the period beginning on the Execution Date and continuing until the date that is two (2) years after the Effective Time of the Merger (the “Non-Competition Period”), the Undersigned will not, except as a director or officer of the Company or the Bank prior to the Effective Time of the Merger or as set forth onSchedule A hereto, in any capacity, directly or indirectly:

(a)    compete or engage, anywhere in the geographic area comprised of the fifty (50) mile radius surrounding the locations of the Bank before the Effective Time or, following the Effective Time, the locations of Spirit Bank banking centers that were formerly locations of the Bank (the “Market Area”), in a business as a federally insured depository institution;

(b)    take any action to invest in, own, manage, operate, control, participate in, be employed or engaged by, be a director of, or otherwise be connected in any manner with any individual, corporation (including anynon-profit corporation), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or Governmental Body (each, a “Person”) engaging in a business similar to that of Spirit, Spirit Bank, the Company or the Bank anywhere within the Market Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Undersigned is permitted hereunder to own, directly or indirectly, up to one percent (1.0%) of the issued and outstanding securities of any publicly traded financial institution conducting business in the Market Area;

(c)    (i) call on, service, solicit or respond to inquiries for competing business from customers of Spirit, Spirit Bank, the Company or the Bank or any of their respective Affiliates if, within the twelve (12) months before the Execution Date, the Undersigned had or made contact with the customer, or had access to information and files about the customer, or (ii) interfere with or damage (or attempt to interfere with or damage) any relationship between Spirit, Spirit Bank, the Company or the Bank or any of their respective Affiliates and any such customer; or

(d)    call on, solicit, induce or respond to inquiries to or from any employee of Spirit, Spirit Bank, the Company or the Bank or any of their respective Affiliates whom the Undersigned had contact with, knowledge of, or association with in the course of service with the Company or the Bank (whether as an employee or a contractor) to terminate his or her employment from or contract with Spirit, Spirit Bank, the Company or the Bank or any of their respective Affiliates, or assist any other Person in such activities;

provided,however, that the restrictions in the foregoing (c) and (d) will not prohibit the Undersigned from responding to inquiries made in response to a general solicitation for customers or employees or publicly advertised employment opportunities (including through employment agencies).

3

The Undersigned may not avoid the purpose and intent of thisSection 3 by engaging in conduct within the Market Area from a remote location through means such as telecommunications, written correspondence, computer generated or assisted communications or other similar methods.

4.    Non-Competition Covenant Reasonable. The Undersigned acknowledges that the restrictions imposed by this Agreement are legitimate, reasonable and necessary to protect Spirit’s acquisition of the Company and the goodwill and business prospects thereof. The Undersigned acknowledges that the scope and duration of the restrictions contained herein are reasonable in light of the time that the Undersigned has been engaged in the business of the Company and/or the Bank and the Undersigned’s relationship with the customers of the Company and/or the Bank. The Undersigned further acknowledges that the restrictions contained herein are not burdensome to the Undersigned in light of the other opportunities that remain open to the Undersigned. Moreover, the Undersigned acknowledges that he or she has and will have other means available to him or her for the pursuit of his or her livelihood after the Effective Time of the Merger.

5.    Consideration. In consideration for the above obligations of the Undersigned, in addition to those matters set forth in the Recitals to this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide the Undersigned with access to new Confidential Information and training relating to the Company’s business, which will become Spirit’s business after the Effective Time of the Merger, in a greater quantity and/or expanded nature than that already provided to the Undersigned. The Undersigned also will have access to, or knowledge of, new Confidential Information of third parties, such as actual and potential customers, suppliers, partners, joint venturers, investors, financing sources, etc., of the Company and/or the Bank prior to the Merger.

6.    Injunctive Relief and Additional Remedies. The Undersigned acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by Spirit or the Company as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement (including any provision ofSection 3) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to Spirit or the Company, as the case may be, for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, each of Spirit and the Company shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to seek specific performance, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any proposed or actual breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement without the obligation to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Such equitable remedies are in addition to the right to obtain compensatory and punitive damages and attorney’s fees, and, notwithstanding Spirit’s or the Company’s, as the case may be, right to so seek damages, the Undersigned waives any defense that an adequate remedy for Spirit or the Company, as the case may be, exists under law. If the Undersigned, on the one hand, or Spirit or the Company, on the other hand, must bring suit to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs related thereto.

7.    Extension of Restrictive Covenant Period. In the event that Spirit or the Company shall file a lawsuit in any court of competent jurisdiction alleging a breach ofSection 3 by the Undersigned and Spirit or the Company is successful on the merits of such lawsuit, then any time period set forth in this Agreement including the time periods set forth inSection 3, will be extended one month for each month the Undersigned was in breach of this Agreement, so that Spirit or the Company, as the case may be, is provided the benefit of the fullNon-Competition Period.

8.    Effectiveness of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective on the Execution Date. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect if (a) the Reorganization Agreement is not executed on or prior to the Execution Date or (b) the Reorganization Agreement (once executed) is terminated in accordance with its terms and the Merger does not occur.

9.    Waiver; Amendment. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and not alternative. Any party may unilaterally waive a right which is solely applicable to it. Such action will be evidenced by a signed written notice. Neither the failure nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement by any party hereto will operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver of any party of any right or remedy on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such party would otherwise have on any future occasion or to any right or remedy that any other party may have hereunder. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by each of the parties hereto.

10.    Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered in person, mailed by first class mail (postage prepaid) or sent by email, courier or personal delivery to the parties hereto at the following addresses unless by such notice a different address shall have been designated:
