EXHIBIT 10.1

AMENDMENT ONE

TO R. TERRY PHILLIPS

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amendment One (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 18th day of December, 2008, by and among United Security Bancshares, Inc. (“USB”), First United Security Bank (“FUSB”) (“USB” and “FUSB” are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”), and R. Terry Phillips (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive previously entered into the Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective as of January 1, 2000, attached hereto as Exhibit A;

WHEREAS, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 created new Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Code Section 409A”), which imposes documentary and operational requirements on non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements, such as the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Agreement as set forth herein to ensure that it and the amounts paid thereunder satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A and any and all Treasury regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows, effective January 1, 2009:

Further amend Section 6.4(b) by adding the following as the last sentence therein:

“In the event that payment is made pursuant to (iii) above, the payment of three (3) times Base Salary shall be made within the thirty (30) day period noted above; payment of the remaining two (2) times Base Salary shall be made within ten (10) days following the Change in Control.”

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any self-insured welfare plan benefits wherein adverse tax consequences to the Executive could apply due to the application of Section 105(h) and/or Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) to such benefits, then in lieu of the Company’s waiver of any insurance “premiums” associated with such benefits (“Self-Insured Premiums”), the parties immediately shall retain a mutually-agreeable actuary to calculate a lump sum payment to be made to the Executive in an amount generally equal to the present value of the anticipated Self-Insured Premiums for the 3-year period, and Executive shall then be solely responsible for the payment of the Self-Insured Premiums. Such lump sum payment shall be paid to Executive within sixty (60) days following the Executive’s termination of employment. In the event that Executive receives substantially similar benefits from a subsequent employer within the 3-year period, the Executive shall, within sixty (60) days of gaining coverage for such benefits, repay to the Company an amount equal to the lump sum payment the Executive received under this Section 6.4(c) times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the 3-year period and the denominator of which is 1095.”

“Within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Executive’s termination of employment,”

“(a) At any time during the term of this Agreement, the Executive may terminate this Agreement for Good Reason by giving the Board written notice of the Good Reason condition and the Executive’s intent to terminate within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the Good Reason condition. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such termination. The Executive’s ability to terminate for Good Reason is contingent upon his agreement to allow the Company to remedy, within such ninety (90)-day period, the events constituting Good Reason. Additionally, the Executive’s termination of employment due to Good Reason must occur within six (6) months of the initial existence of the Good Reason condition in order to be entitled to any payments or benefits due to a Good Reason termination.”

“(b) Upon the failure of the Company to remedy the events constituting Good Reason prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day notice period, the Good Reason termination shall become effective, and, within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Executive’s termination of employment, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to three (3) times the Base Salary currently in effect; provided, however, that if (i) the notice of termination is provided on or after a Change in Control, (ii) the effective date of such termination occurs on or after a Change in Control or (iii) a Change in Control occurs within the period beginning on the effective date of such termination and ending six (6) months thereafter, the payment under this sub-section (b) shall be a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to five (5) times the Base Salary currently in effect. In the event that payment is made pursuant to (iii) above, the payment of three (3) times Base Salary shall be made within the thirty (30) day period noted above; payment of the remaining two (2) times Base Salary shall be made within ten (10) days following the Change in Control.”

“All payments made pursuant to this Article 7 shall be made in accordance with Section 12.9(c) below.”

Page 2 of 4

“(d) A “Change in Control” means a “change in the ownership” of USB or FUSB, a “change in the effective control” of USB, or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of USB or FUSB, as each is defined in Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”).”

“(i) The assignment of the Executive to duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s authorities, duties, or responsibilities (including a material change in to whom the Executive must report) as an officer of the Company, or a material reduction or alteration of the Executive’s authorities, duties or responsibilities from those in effect as of the Effective Date (or as subsequently increased), other than an insubstantial and inadvertent act that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; or”

“12.9 Internal Revenue Code Section 409A Compliance. This Agreement is intended in good faith to comply with Section 409A with respect to certain payments, and to be exempt from Section 409A with respect to other payments.

(a) Termination of Employment. With respect to payments made, or to be made, hereunder upon a termination of employment that are subject to Section 409A, a termination of employment must constitute a “separation from service” under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h) in order for such payment to be made.

(b) Modification of Time or Form of Payments. Payments made hereunder that are subject to Section 409A may not be accelerated or delayed, except as specifically allowed under Section 409A.

(c) Reimbursements and Equalization Payments. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein to the contrary or any policy of the Company to the contrary, all reimbursements, Payments and Underpayments (as defined in Article 7) to be made hereunder shall be made within sixty (60) days of the date that the Executive incurs the reimbursable expense or remits the taxes to the applicable taxing authority, as applicable. Additionally, any amount payable to Section 7.2(b) must be made by the end of the Executive’s taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the taxes that are subject to the audit or litigation are remitted to the taxing authority, or where as a result of such audit or litigation no taxes are remitted, the end of the Executive’s taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and non-appealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during the Executive’s taxable year may not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year of the Executive, and the right to a reimbursement may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

(d) Restriction on Timing of Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is considered a “Specified Employee” at the

Page 3 of 4

time of his termination of employment under such procedures as established by USB in accordance with Section 409A, distributions that are made upon termination of employment (for reasons other than death) may not commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of such termination of employment. Therefore, in the event this Section 12.9(d) is applicable to the Executive, any distribution which would otherwise be paid to the Executive within the first six (6) months following the termination of employment shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive in a lump sum during the seventh month following the termination of employment. Any subsequent distributions shall be paid in the manner otherwise specified herein.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Executive have caused this Amendment One to the Employment Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above.

4.8 Right to Change Plans. By reason of Sections 4.6 and 4.7 herein, the Company shall not be obligated to institute, maintain or refrain from changing, amending or discontinuing any benefit plan, program or perquisite, so long as such changes are similarly applicable to executive employees generally.

(c) Subject to any conflicting terms of any short-term incentive program which would provide for greater benefits following such termination, the Company shall, within sixty (60) days of the effective date of employment termination, pay to the Executive (or the Executive’s beneficiaries or estate, as the case may be) a Pro Rata share of the Bonus Opportunity.

(d) All unvested stock awards (including, but not limited to, any stock options and restricted stock) will vest in full on the date of any such termination.

In the event that the Executive is determined to have a Disability during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive’s active employment as provided in this Agreement. However, the Board shall deliver written notice to the Executive of the Company’s intent to terminate the Executive’s employment for Disability at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of such termination and only after any period or process for determining the Disability has been satisfied and completed. Upon a termination of employment for Disability, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

(a) The Company’s obligation to pay and provide to the Executive the element of pay described in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 shall immediately expire; provided, however, that, during the period beginning on the effective date of such termination and ending six (6) months thereafter, the Company shall continue to make bi-weekly payments equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Base Salary then in effect to the Executive pursuant to Section 4.1; provided, further, that each such bi-weekly payment during such period shall be reduced by a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of any and all insurance benefits payable to the Executive during such period.

6.3 Voluntary Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving the Board written notice of intent to terminate, delivered at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the effective date of such termination. This Section 6.3 shall not apply if the Executive terminates employment (i) because of Retirement, (ii) for Good Reason or (iii) during the Window Period. In the event that the voluntary termination is for Good Reason or during the Window Period, the terms of Section 6.6 or Section 6.7, as the case may be, shall govern the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder. Otherwise, upon a voluntary termination by the Executive, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

(a) The Company shall continue to pay the Executive’s Base Salary, at the rate then in effect as provided in Section 4.1 herein, through the effective date of termination, plus all other benefits to which the Executive has a vested right at that time; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be paid any Bonus with respect to the fiscal year in which voluntary termination under this Section 6.3 occurs.

(b) Other than as provided in this Section 6.3, a voluntary employment termination by the Executive shall result in the termination of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the terms and provisions of Article 8 shall continue to apply prior to a Change in Control.

6.4 Involuntary Termination by the Company Without Cause.

(a) At any time during the term of this Agreement, the Board may terminate the Executive’s employment, as provided under this Agreement, for reasons other than death, Disability, Retirement or for Cause, by notifying the Executive in writing of the Company’s intent to terminate at least ninety (90) calendar days prior the effective date of such termination.

(b) Following the expiration of the ninety (90) day notice period, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to three (3) times the Base Salary currently in effect; provided, however, that if (i) the notice of termination is provided on or after a Change in Control, (ii) the effective date of such termination occurs on or after a Change in Control or (iii) a Change in Control occurs within the period beginning on the effective date of such termination and ending six (6) months thereafter, the payment under this sub-section (b) shall be a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to five (5) times the Base Salary currently in effect.

(c) Upon a termination pursuant or subject to this Section 6.4, the Executive shall be entitled to a continuation of all benefits pursuant to any and all welfare benefit plans under which the Executive and/or the Executive’s family is eligible to receive benefits and/or coverage as of the date of termination or as the same may be increased from time to time. Such benefits shall be provided to the Executive at the same premium cost to the Executive, if any, and at the same coverage level, as in effect as of the Executive’s date of termination. The welfare benefits described in this Subsection 6.4(c) shall continue following the date of termination for three (3) years; provided, however, that such benefits shall be discontinued prior to the end of such period in the event the Executive receives substantially similar benefits from a subsequent employer.

(f) Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.4, a termination pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall result in the termination of all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the terms and provisions of Article 8 shall continue to apply. The payments described in this Section 6.4 (as well as in Section 6.6 and Section 6.7) shall be in part to compensate the Executive for being subject to the provisions of Article 8 (if applicable) thereafter, even though the Executive’s employment has been terminated without Cause (or for Good Reason as provided in Section 6.6 or during the Window Period as provided in Section 6.7).

6.5 Termination For Cause.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Board from terminating the Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Cause.

(b) After providing the Executive with notice of the reasons the Board believes Cause may exist, and after giving the Executive the opportunity to respond to the allegation that Cause exists, the Board, by majority vote, shall make the determination of whether Cause exists.

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Board for Cause, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive his Base Salary through the effective date of the employment termination, and the Executive shall immediately thereafter forfeit all rights and benefits (other than vested benefits) he would otherwise have been entitled to receive under this Agreement. The Company and the Executive thereafter shall have no further obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of Article 8 shall continue to apply.

(d) A termination for Cause shall be permitted hereunder only if the Company provides the written notice of intent to terminate not later than six (6) months after the date the Company first knew or should have reasonably known of the act or omission to act or conviction giving rise to the termination for Cause. The six (6)-month period shall be tolled during any permitted period of correction or administrative procedure.

–7–

6.6 Termination for Good Reason.

(a) At any time during the term of this Agreement, the Executive may terminate this Agreement for Good Reason by giving the Board ninety (90) calendar days written notice of intent to terminate, which notice sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such termination. The Executive’s ability to terminate for Good Reason is contingent upon his agreement to allow the Company to remedy, within such ninety (90)-day period, the events constituting Good Reason.

(b) Upon the failure of the Company to remedy the events constituting Good Reason prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day notice period, the Good Reason termination shall become effective, and the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to three (3) times the Base Salary currently in effect; provided, however, that if (i) the notice of termination is provided on or after a Change in Control, (ii) the effective date of such termination occurs on or after a Change in Control or (iii) a Change in Control occurs within the period beginning on the effective date of such termination and ending six (6) months thereafter, the payment under this sub-section (b) shall be a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to five (5) times the Base Salary currently in effect.

(c) Upon a termination for Good Reason, in addition to the payment provided for in sub-section (b) above, the Executive shall be entitled to the same payments (excluding those provided for in Section 6.4(b)), benefits and rights as he is entitled to receive following an involuntary termination of his employment by the Company without Cause, as specified in Section 6.4 herein (as if the termination were an involuntary termination without Cause).

(d) A termination for Good Reason shall be permitted hereunder only if the Executive provides the written notice to terminate not later than six (6) months after the date the Employee first knew or should have known of the act or omission to act giving rise to the termination for Good Reason. The six (6)-month period shall be tolled during any permitted period of correction or administrative procedure.

SECTION 6.7 Termination During Window Period After Change in Control.

(a) During the Window Period, the Executive may terminate his employment without any reason; provided, however, that a termination for Good Reason, whether during the Window Period or not, shall be governed by Section 6.6 above and not this Section 6.7.

(b) Upon the Executive’s termination of employment during the Window Period pursuant to this Section 6.7, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to three (3) times the Base Salary currently in effect. In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to the same payments (excluding those provided for in Section 6.4(b)), benefits and rights as he is entitled to receive following an involuntary termination of his employment by the Company without Cause, as specified in Section 6.4 herein (as if the termination were an involuntary termination without Cause).

–8–

ARTICLE 7

Excise Tax Gross-Up

7.1 Equalization Payment. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Article 7) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall make an additional payment to the Executive (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and the Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

7.2 Tax Computation.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(c), all determinations required to be made under this Article 7, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by an accounting firm chosen by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. However, the Accounting Firm chosen may not be the firm that is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting a Change in Control. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Article 7, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on the Executive’s applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7.2(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.

–9–

(b) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:

(i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,

(ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney selected by the Company,

(iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and

(iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2(b), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such

–10–

contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

Assignment

10.1 Assignment by Company.

(a) This Agreement may and shall be assigned or transferred to, and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, any successor of the Company, and any such successor shall be deemed substituted for all purposes of the “Company” under the terms of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “successor” shall mean any person, firm, corporation or business entity which at any time, whether by merger, purchase or otherwise, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or the business of the Company. Notwithstanding such assignment, the Company shall remain, with such successor, jointly and severally liable for all its obligations hereunder.

(b) Failure of the Company to obtain the agreement of any successor to be bound by the terms of this Agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall immediately entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled in the event of an termination of employment without Cause, as provided in Section 6.4 herein.

(c) Except as herein provided, this Agreement may not otherwise be assigned by the Company (other than to a subsidiary or affiliate) without the prior written consent of the Executive.

the Executive; provided, however that this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, and administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive dies while any amounts payable to the Executive hereunder remain outstanding, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, in the absence of such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

Dispute Resolution and Notice

11.1 Dispute Resolution.

(a) The parties hereto agree that the subject matter of this Agreement involves and affects interstate commerce within the meaning of the commerce clause of the United States Constitution. This Agreement shall be irrevocable and is binding upon the parties and is subject to being specifically enforced.

As used herein, Disputes shall include all actions, disputes, claims, counterclaims or controversies arising in connection with any extension of or commitment set forth in this Agreement or in any other agreement entered by the parties in connection with this Agreement, and any action taken (or any omission to take any action) in connection with any of the foregoing. All Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with Title 9 of the U.S. Code and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Defenses based on statutes of limitation, estoppel, waiver, laches and similar doctrines, that would otherwise be applicable to an action brought by a party, shall be applicable in any such arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be deemed the commencement of an action for such purposes.

(c) Whenever an arbitration is required under subsection (b), the arbitrators shall be selected, except as otherwise provided, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration rules of the AAA. The panel of arbitrators shall determine the resolution of the Dispute.

(d) Whenever an arbitration is required under subsection (b), such arbitration shall be conducted in Montgomery, Alabama. The arbitrators shall apply the internal laws of the State of Alabama, without giving effect to any choice of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Alabama over any challenges to arbitration hereunder. The prevailing party may enforce an arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction over the matter and the parties hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, both parties expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of

–13–

the Alabama Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (Montgomery) and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama and waive any defenses based on the lack of such jurisdiction.

(e) Any arbitration questions arising under this Agreement shall be governed in accordance with Title 9 of the U.S. Code. This Section constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior discussions, arrangements, negotiations and other communications on dispute resolutions. The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination, amendment or expiration of the Agreement in which this Section is contained, unless the parties otherwise expressly agree in writing. In the event of any Dispute governed by this Section, each of the parties shall pay all of its own expenses, and, subject to the award of the arbitrators, shall pay an equal share of the arbitrators’ fees. The arbitrators shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees (including attorneys’ fees, administrative fees, arbitrators’ fees and court costs) to the prevailing party or that party which substantially prevails. This Section may be amended, changed or modified only by the express provisions of a writing which specifically refers to this Section and which is signed by all the parties hereto.

11.2 Notice. Any notices, requests, demands, or other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if sent by registered or certified mail to the Executive at the last address he has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, to an executive officer of the Company, at the Company’s principal offices.
