2. The Executive hereby further covenants and agrees at all times to keep in confidence, and to not, directly or indirectly, at any time disclose or use (except in the course of performing his duties on behalf of the Bank, its subsidiaries or affiliates) any trade secrets or confidential business or technical information of the Bank, its subsidiaries or affiliates or their respective customers or vendors (the Confidential Information), without limitation as to when or how the Executive may have acquired such information. The Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, business and marketing methods, policies, techniques, and strategies; compensation and benefit plans, programs and arrangements; research and development relating to products and services; customer and vendor information and contracts, methods of operation; business, financial and strategic plans; financial information; and human resources policies, practices and procedures.

In the event that the Executive is advised in writing by his legal counsel that he is required by subpoena or other legal process to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Executive shall promptly notify the Bank of this situation and shall promptly provide the Bank with a copy of the written advice of legal counsel so that the Bank or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If a protective order or other appropriate remedy is not obtained in a reasonable period of time, the Executive may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that he is advised by legal counsel is legally required.
3. If the period of time set forth in paragraph 1 of this Article II should be adjudged to be unreasonable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the court making such judgment shall have the power to reduce the period of time by such number of months as is required so that such restriction may be enforced for such time as is adjudged to be reasonable. Similarly, if any other portion of this Article II is adjudged to be unreasonable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the court making such judgment shall have the power to, and shall, reduce such scope or restriction so that it shall extend to the maximum extent permissible under the law and no further.
4. The Executive acknowledges that the restraints placed upon him under this Article II are fair and reasonable under the circumstances and that if he should commit a breach of any of the provisions thereof the Banks remedies at law would be inadequate to compensate it for its damages. The parties agree that in the event of any breach by the Executive of any of the
3
provisions of this Article II, then he shall forfeit all benefits, or remaining benefits, under Article I of this Joinder Agreement and the Master Agreement. In addition thereto, the Bank shall be entitled to (i) injunctive relief and (ii) such other relief as is available at law or in equity. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Joinder Agreement or the Master Agreement that seeks solely monetary damages (i.e., does not seek any form of equitable relief such as an injunction) shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association as then in effect in Asheville, North Carolina. The arbitrators award shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties and judgment may be entered on the arbitrators award in any court having jurisdiction. In the event of any judicial or arbitration proceeding between the Executive and the Bank, or any of the Banks subsidiaries or affiliates, under this Joinder Agreement or the Master Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover reasonable fees and disbursements of his or its counsel (plus any costs) incurred by such prevailing party in connection with such proceeding from the other party, provided the amount thereof in any and all such proceedings shall not exceed $25,000. Moreover, if the Executive has violated any of the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article II, the Banks right to injunctive relief shall include, without limitation, the imposition of an additional period of time during which the Executive will be required to comply with the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article II, which period of time shall not be less than the period of time the Executive was in violation of the provisions thereof. If the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is required in any injunction proceeding to post a bond, the parties agree that it shall be in a nominal amount.
ARTICLE III

The Executive agrees that the benefits being provided to him under this Joinder Agreement are in lieu of any non-qualified employee benefits or continuing compensation that he might be entitled to receive from Home Savings Bank, SSB of Eden or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates by contract or otherwise (except for compensation which has been voluntarily deferred by him, if any). Accordingly, the Executive does hereby waive any and all right that he has or might have to such other non-qualified benefits or continuing compensation (other than previous voluntary deferrals), all of which are hereby cancelled and terminated.
4

For example, the annual benefit in the second and third years of the Pay Out Period shall be $18,720 and $19,468.80, respectively.
The Pay Out Period shall be 20 years commencing one month after the earlier of the date the Executive attains age 70 or his date of death (the Benefit Commencement Date).

The Executive hereby designates the following as his Beneficiary of the Separate Retirement Income Benefit provided under this Joinder Agreement #2. The Executive is aware that he can subsequently change such designation by submitting to the Administrator, at any subsequent time, a new written designation of primary and secondary Beneficiaries to whom payment shall be made in the event of the Executives death prior to complete distribution of the Separate Retirement Income Benefit under this Joinder Agreement #2.
