EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into on the 5^th day of February, 2007, by and between NAB, LLC, an Alabama Limited Liability Company (the “Bank”), and Mark Chambers (hereinafter “EMPLOYEE”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Bank believes that it is in the best interest of the Bank to arrange terms of employment for EMPLOYEE so as to reasonably induce EMPLOYEE to remain in his capacities with the Bank for the term hereof; and

WHEREAS, EMPLOYEE is willing to provide services to the Bank in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT. For the Term of Employment, as hereinafter defined, the Bank agrees to employ EMPLOYEE as its President of the Lee County, Alabama offices, and EMPLOYEE agrees to accept such employment and to perform such duties and functions as the Board of Directors of the Bank may assign to EMPLOYEE from time to time, but only administrative and managerial functions commensurate with EMPLOYEE’s past experience and performance level. EMPLOYEE agrees to devote his full business time, attention, skill and efforts to the business of the Bank, and shall perform his duties in a trustworthy and businesslike manner, all for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Bank.

2. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT. The “Term of Employment” referred to in Section 1 hereof and hereinafter shall be deemed to have commenced as of the date first above mentioned and shall continue for a period of three (3) years, unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Agreement, and shall include any extension of the period of employment in accordance with this paragraph. The period of employment shall automatically be extended without further action by the parties for an additional three (3) full years, on each anniversary hereof during the Term of Employment, unless (i) either party shall have served written notice upon the other of its intention that this Agreement shall not be extended at least six (6) months before the anniversary date on which this Agreement would have been automatically extended for an additional three (3) years, or (ii) the EMPLOYEE’s employment hereunder shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

3. COMPENSATION.

3.1 Base Salary. During the Term of Employment, EMPLOYEE shall be paid an annual base salary (hereinafter “Base Salary”) of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 $150,000.00 Dollars, which shall be paid in equal installments in accordance with the Bank’s normal pay practices, but not less frequently than monthly. EMPLOYEE’s salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Bank annually and EMPLOYEE shall be entitled to receive annually an increase (but in no event a decrease) in such amount, if any, as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Bank.

3.2 Management Incentives and Discretionary Bonuses. During the Term of Employment, the EMPLOYEE shall be entitled, in an equitable manner based on the terms of any bonus and incentive plans that have been approved or may, from time to time, be approved by the Board of Directors, with all other key management personnel of the Bank, to such incentives and discretionary bonuses as may be authorized, declared and paid by the Board of Directors to the Bank’s key management employees. The incentive compensation shall be based on meeting or exceeding the attainment of certain criteria to be established by the Board of Directors. In determining whether to grant incentive compensation, the Board of Directors shall consider factors such as the Bank’s profitability, its asset quality, its compliance with laws and regulations, and its loan quality.

No other compensation provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed a substitute for the EMPLOYEE’s right to such incentives and discretionary bonuses when and as declared by the Board.

3.3 Stock Options. EMPLOYEE shall be awarded incentive stock options to purchase the number of shares equal to 50,000. The exercise price of the options shall be $10.00 per share, which the Board of Directors has determined is the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. EMPLOYEE’s options shall vest in equal installments over a three year period beginning on the first anniversary of the Bank’s opening. These incentive stock options shall be the subject of a separate incentive stock option grant agreement between the Bank and EMPLOYEE (the “Grant Agreement”). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Grant Agreement, the terms of the Grant Agreement shall control.

3.4 Additional Benefits. During the Term of Employment, EMPLOYEE shall be provided with such employee benefits and benefit levels, including health, life (including a minimum of One Million and No/100 ($1,000,000.00) Dollars term life insurance) and disability insurance. These benefits shall be provided and maintained at a level of not less than what is in effect at the time this Agreement is executed.

Throughout the Term of Employment, EMPLOYEE shall also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder.

During the EMPLOYEE’s Term of Employment hereunder, EMPLOYEE shall receive four (4) weeks paid vacation during each year of employment.

4. TERMINATION.

4.1 Death or Disability. This Agreement may be terminated before the expiration of the Term of Employment upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:

(a) Upon EMPLOYEE’s death, this Agreement shall terminate immediately. Any salary earned and any other amounts that may be due EMPLOYEE from Bank at the time of his death (whether pursuant to benefits plans or otherwise) shall be paid to the executor or administrator of his estate.

(b) The Bank may terminate this Agreement upon EMPLOYEE’s “Total Disability.” As used in this Agreement, “Total Disability” means any physical or mental disorder that renders EMPLOYEE incapable of performing his normal duties and services under this Agreement for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, as determined by a licensed physician selected by mutual agreement of the Bank and the EMPLOYEE or the EMPLOYEE’s legal representative. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of the EMPLOYEE’s “Total Disability,”

2

the EMPLOYEE’s compensation hereunder shall terminate and the EMPLOYEE shall be paid in accordance with such long-term disability plans of the Bank as may be in effect at that time. The EMPLOYEE’s compensation, title and status shall continue during any such period of disability until the date of termination except that the Bank may provide disability insurance to cover the EMPLOYEE during any part of such disability period and the Bank’s obligation for the EMPLOYEE’s compensation for any such period shall be reduced by the amount of any such insurance proceeds which the EMPLOYEE receives.

4.2 For Cause. This Agreement may be terminated by the Board of Directors of the Bank for “Cause” for any of the following reasons:

(a) failure of EMPLOYEE to follow reasonable written instructions or policies of the Board of Directors of the Bank;

(b) gross negligence or willful misconduct of EMPLOYEE materially damaging to the business of the Bank;

(c) conviction of EMPLOYEE of a crime involving breach of trust, moral turpitude, theft or fraud;

(d) the failure by the EMPLOYEE to perform substantially his duties other than any failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness;

(e) willful commission of (i) acts involving dishonesty or fraud or (ii) acts causing harm to the Bank;

(f) a willful misrepresentation by the EMPLOYEE to the stockholders or the Board of Directors of the Bank which causes substantial injury to the Bank; or

(g) a request by any state or federal authority regulating the Bank that the EMPLOYEE be removed from his office as EMPLOYEE of the Bank.

For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the EMPLOYEE shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank and the stockholders of the Bank. The Bank shall notify the EMPLOYEE in writing of the specific reasons for the termination for “Cause” and the EMPLOYEE will be allowed thirty (30) days to reply in writing to the accusation before any termination for “Cause”. If the Employee is terminated for “Cause,” he shall receive only his salary earned and any other amounts due to him from the Bank (whether pursuant to benefit plans or otherwise) through the date of termination.

4.3 Without Cause. The Bank may immediately terminate this Agreement at any time “without Cause” by giving the EMPLOYEE written notice of the termination date. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this provision (i) the EMPLOYEE shall be paid severance compensation in an amount equal to his annual “Base Salary” (as defined in Section 3.1) then in effect for the balance of the duration of his three (3) year contract which shall be paid over a period of time equal to the balance of the duration of his three (3) year contract commencing from the termination date in such installments and intervals as if the EMPLOYEE had remained employed (By way of example if EMPLOYEE is due compensation under this provision after he has completed 12 months under this Agreement then the Bank would be obligated to pay EMPLOYEE 24 months of compensation at EMPLOYEE’s base salary amount in effect at the time of his termination and any other amounts owing to EMPLOYEE at the time of such

termination date) and (ii) any other amounts owing to the EMPLOYEE by the Bank under this Agreement at such termination date, which amounts shall be paid within a reasonable time after such termination date. If this Agreement is terminated “without Cause,” the Bank will continue all insurance benefits in effect at such termination for the EMPLOYEE and his dependents with the Bank paying the same amount of premiums on behalf of the EMPLOYEE and his dependents as when the EMPLOYEE was employed for a period of twelve (12) months from the termination date or until such time as the EMPLOYEE is employed by another employer (which shall exclude self-employment), whichever period of time is shorter. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, upon a termination “without Cause” pursuant to this Section 4.3, EMPLOYEE’s sole rights and remedies against the Bank arising out of any such termination of his employment hereunder are to receive the severance compensation and the other amounts and benefits as are explicitly set forth in this Section 4.3. All of the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5 below.

5. CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE BANK. In the event of a “Change in Control” of the Bank during the Term of Employment or any extension thereof, as defined herein, and if as a result of any such Change in Control EMPLOYEE either (i) is terminated (except “for Cause” as defined in Section 4.2 above), during both the Term of Employment or any extension thereof and the one-year period after the Change in Control becomes effective, from his employment hereunder and before he reaches age 75, or (ii) has a “Change in Duties or Salary” as defined below and resigns, during both the Term of Employment and the one-year period after the Change in Control becomes effective, as a result of such change, then EMPLOYEE shall be entitled to receive severance compensation in an amount equal to his Base Salary for the balance of the initial term of this Agreement or any extension thereof. By way of example if EMPLOYEE is due compensation under this provision after he has completed 12 months under this Agreement then the Bank would be obligated to pay EMPLOYEE 24 months of compensation at EMPLOYEE’s base salary amount in effect at the time of his termination and any other amounts owing to EMPLOYEE at the time of such termination date, which shall be paid in a lump sum within 14 days following the date of termination or resignation.

For purposes of this Section 5, “Change in Control” of the Bank shall mean:

(i) any transaction, whether by merger, consolidation, asset sale, tender offer, reverse stock split or otherwise, which results in the acquisition of beneficial ownership (as such term is defined under rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by any person or entity or any group of persons or entities acting in concert, with the exception of the Bank’s Board of Directors or the Bank’s shareholders, of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank;

(ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Bank; or

(iii) the liquidation of the Bank.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Duties or Salary” of EMPLOYEE shall mean any of: (i) a change in duties and responsibilities of EMPLOYEE from those duties and responsibilities of EMPLOYEE for the Bank in effect at the time a Change in Control occurs, which change results in the assignment of duties and responsibilities inferior to those duties and responsibilities of Bank at the time such Change in Control occurs; (ii) a reduction in rate of annual salary from such rate in effect at the time of Change in Control; or (iii) a change in the place of assignment of Bank from Lee County, Alabama, to any other city or geographical location that is located further than 25 miles from Lee County, Alabama.
