ARTICLE III

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

3.01 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of a holder of shares of CCFC Common Stock:

(a) FCBI Common Stock. Each share of FCBI Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

(b) CCFC Common Stock. Subject to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06 and 8.01(h), each share of CCFC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into, and shall be canceled in exchange for, solely the right to receive (i) a cash amount equal to $19.60 (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 0.9046 shares of FCBI Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”).

3.02 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Mailing of Transmittal Material. Provided that CCFC has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent all information which is necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform its obligations as specified herein, the Exchange Agent shall, promptly following the Effective Date, mail or make available to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates a notice and letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates theretofore representing shares of CCFC Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the Exchange Agent such Certificate or Certificates in exchange for the consideration set forth in Section 3.01(b) hereof deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement. A letter of transmittal will be properly completed only if accompanied by Certificates representing all shares of CCFC Common Stock covered thereby, subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 3.02.

(b) FCBI Deliveries. At the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, (i) FCBI shall deliver to the Exchange Agent certificates evidencing the maximum number of shares of FCBI Common Stock issuable and (ii) FCBI shall deliver, or cause FC Bank to deliver, to the Exchange Agent, a cash amount equal to the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration payable pursuant to this Article III in exchange for Certificates representing outstanding shares of CCFC Common Stock. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the shares of FCBI Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

(c) Exchange Agent Deliveries. Each holder of an outstanding Certificate or Certificates who has surrendered such Certificate or Certificates to the Exchange Agent will, upon acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of FCBI Common Stock and the amount of cash into which the aggregate number of shares of CCFC Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or Certificates surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and any other distribution theretofore paid with respect to FCBI Common Stock issuable in the Merger, in each case without interest. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. Each outstanding Certificate which prior to the Effective Time represented CCFC Common Stock and which is not surrendered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the procedures provided for herein shall, except as otherwise herein provided, until duly surrendered to the Exchange Agent, be deemed to evidence ownership of the number of shares of FCBI Common Stock and the right to receive the amount of cash into which such CCFC Common Stock shall have been converted. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of CCFC of Certificates representing shares of CCFC Common Stock and, if such Certificates are presented to CCFC for transfer, they shall be cancelled against delivery of certificates for FCBI Common Stock and cash as hereinabove provided. No dividends which have been declared will be remitted to any person entitled to receive shares of FCBI Common Stock until such person surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing CCFC Common Stock, at which time such dividends shall be remitted to such Person, without interest.

(d) Lost or Destroyed Certificates; Issuances of FCBI Common Stock in New Names. The Exchange Agent and FCBI, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to deliver cash or a certificate or certificates representing shares of FCBI Common Stock to which a holder of CCFC Common Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing the shares of CCFC Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 3.02, or, in default thereof, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in an amount as may be reasonably required in each case by FCBI. If any certificates evidencing shares of FCBI Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate evidencing CCFC Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other tax required by reason

of the issuance of a certificate for shares of FCBI Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Unclaimed Merger Consideration. Any portion of the shares of FCBI Common Stock and cash delivered to the Exchange Agent by FCBI pursuant to Section 3.02(b) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of CCFC for six months after the Effective Time (as well as any proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to FCBI. Any stockholders of CCFC who have not theretofore complied with Section 3.02(c) shall thereafter look only to FCBI for the consideration deliverable in respect of each share of CCFC Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates for shares of CCFC Common Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of FCBI Common Stock and cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the property of FCBI (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of stock represented by any Certificate for any consideration paid to a Governmental Authority pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. FCBI and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of CCFC to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, FCBI and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(f) Affiliate Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Certificates surrendered for exchange by any CCFC Affiliate shall not be exchanged for certificates representing shares of FCBI Common Stock to which such CCFC Affiliate may be entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until FCBI has received a written agreement from such person as specified in Section 6.07.

3.03 Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of CCFC Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, stockholders of CCFC other than to receive the consideration provided under this Article III. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of CCFC or the Surviving Corporation of shares of CCFC Common Stock.

3.04 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional shares of FCBI Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder of CCFC Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of FCBI Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the closing price of a share of FCBI Common Stock on Nasdaq on the business day preceding the

Effective Time (as reported in The Wall Street Journal, or if not reported therein, in another mutually agreed upon authoritative source), rounded to the nearest whole cent. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.

3.05 Dissenting Shares. Each outstanding share of CCFC Common Stock the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under the NCBCA and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive shares of FCBI Common Stock and cash hereunder, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the NCBCA. CCFC shall give FCBI prompt notice upon receipt by CCFC of any such written demands for payment of the fair value of such shares of CCFC Common Stock and of withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments provided pursuant to the NCBCA. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by FCBI. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent and shall have delivered a properly completed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent, the Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall be converted into a right to receive FCBI Common Stock and cash in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

3.06 Anti-Dilution Provisions. If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the shares of FCBI Common Stock shall be changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, or similar transaction with respect to FCBI Common Stock, or a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date or ex dividend or distribution date within said period, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted accordingly.

3.07 Withholding Rights. FCBI (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of CCFC Common Stock such amounts as FCBI is required under the Code or any state, local or foreign tax law or regulation thereunder to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of CCFC Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by FCBI.

3.08 CCFC Options. At the Effective Time, each CCFC Option which is outstanding, vested and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive a single lump sum cash payment, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of CCFC Common Stock subject to such CCFC Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such CCFC Option, less any applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. If the exercise price per share of any such CCFC Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such CCFC Option shall be canceled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof. CCFC shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the written acknowledgment of each holder of a then-outstanding CCFC Option with regard to the cancellation of such CCFC Option and the payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, the CCFC Stock Option Plans and all CCFC Options issued thereunder shall terminate at the Effective Time.

3.09 Bank Merger. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement (or on such later date as FCBI shall specify), FCBI and CCFC shall cause FC Bank and Mooresville Savings to enter into the Bank Merger Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex C, which provides for the merger of Mooresville Savings with and into FC Bank (the “Bank Merger”), in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the terms of the Bank Merger Agreement and as soon as practicable after consummation of the Merger (or on such later date as FCBI shall specify).

(i) FCBI and its Subsidiaries have duly filed with the appropriate Governmental Authorities in substantially correct form the monthly, quarterly and annual reports required to be filed under applicable laws and regulations, and such reports were in all material respects complete and accurate and in compliance with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations.

(iii) has received no notification or communication from any Governmental Authority (A) asserting that FCBI or any of its Subsidiaries is not in compliance with any of the statutes, regulations or ordinances which such Governmental Authority enforces or (B) threatening to revoke any license, franchise, permit or governmental authorization (nor, to FCBI’s knowledge, do any grounds for any of the foregoing exist).

None of FCBI or any of its Subsidiaries, or to FCBI’s knowledge, any of its other affiliates or associates (as such terms are defined under the Exchange Act), owns beneficially or of record, directly or indirectly, or is a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of, shares of CCFC Common Stock (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties or as a result of debts previously contracted).

(o) Financial Ability. On the Effective Date and through the date of payment of the Merger Consideration by FCBI, FCBI or FC Bank will have all funds necessary to

consummate the Merger and pay the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration to holders of CCFC Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof.

(p) Disclosure.

Subject to Section 6.02(b), the CCFC Board shall at all times prior to and during such meeting recommend such approval and shall take all reasonable lawful action to solicit such approval by its stockholders and shall not (x) withdraw, modify or qualify in any manner adverse to FCBI such recommendation or (y) take such other action or make any other public statement in connection with the CCFC Meeting inconsistent with such recommendation (collectively, a “Change in Recommendation”), except as and to the extent permitted by Section 6.02(b). Notwithstanding any Change in Recommendation, this Agreement shall be submitted to the stockholders of CCFC at the CCFC Meeting for the purpose of approving the Agreement and any other matters required to be approved by CCFC’s stockholders for consummation of the Transaction. In addition to the foregoing, CCFC shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger.

(i) CCFC shall have complied in all material respects with Section 6.08;

(ii) the CCFC Board, based on advice of its outside counsel, shall have determined in good faith that failure to do so would be reasonably expected to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; and

(iii) if the CCFC Board intends to effect a Change in Recommendation following an Acquisition Proposal, (A) the CCFC Board shall have concluded in good faith, after giving effect to all of the adjustments which may be offered by FCBI pursuant to clause (C) below, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (B) CCFC shall notify FCBI at least five Business Days in advance of its intention to effect a Change in Recommendation in response to such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the party making such Acquisition Proposal) and furnish to FCBI a detailed summary of all material terms of such Superior Proposal and all other material documents, and (C) prior to effecting such a Change in Recommendation, CCFC shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the period following CCFC’s delivery of the notice referred to in clause (B) above, negotiate with FCBI in good faith for a period of up to five Business Days (to the extent FCBI desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal.

omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto shall, at the date(s) of mailing to CCFC’s stockholders and at the time of the CCFC Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of CCFC and FCBI further agrees that if such party shall become aware prior to the Effective Date of any information furnished by such party that would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other parties thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement.

(c) FCBI agrees to advise CCFC, promptly after FCBI receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of FCBI Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or, to the extent FCBI is aware thereof, threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or for additional information.

CCFC and FCBI shall cooperate to develop all public announcement materials and make appropriate management available at presentations related to the Transaction as reasonably requested by the other party.

6.08 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) CCFC agrees that it shall, and shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it) (all of the foregoing, collectively, “Representatives”) to, immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any other parties that may be ongoing with respect to the possibility or consideration of any Acquisition Proposal (as defined below), and will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal, including by requesting the other party to promptly return or destroy any confidential information previously furnished by or on behalf of CCFC thereunder and by specifically enforcing the terms thereof in a court of competent jurisdiction. From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, CCFC shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers or employees (and those of any CCFC Subsidiary) or any Representative retained by it (or any Subsidiary) not to, directly or indirectly through another Person, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information or assistance), or take any other action designed to facilitate or that is likely to result in, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) provide any confidential information or data to any Person relating to any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) waive, terminate, modify or fail to enforce any provision of any contractual “standstill” or similar obligations of any Person other than FCBI or its affiliates, (v) approve or recommend, propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, asset purchase agreement or share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement related to any Acquisition Proposal or propose to do any of the foregoing, or (vi) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that prior to the date of the CCFC Meeting, if the

CCFC Board determines in good faith, after consulting with its outside legal and financial advisors, that the failure to do so would breach, or would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of, the CCFC Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, CCFC may, in response to a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal not solicited in violation of this Section 6.08(a)(i) that the CCFC Board determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below), subject to providing 48 hour prior written notice of its decision to take such action to FCBI and identifying the Person making the proposal and all the material terms and conditions of such proposal and compliance with Section 6.08(b), (1) furnish information with respect to itself and its Subsidiaries to any Person making such a Superior Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement (as determined by CCFC after consultation with its outside counsel) on terms no more favorable to such Person than the terms contained in the Confidentiality Agreement are to FCBI, and (2) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such a Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer, filing of any regulatory application or notice (whether in draft or final form) or disclosure of an intention to do any of the foregoing from any Person relating to any (w) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a business that constitutes 10% or more of the total revenues, net income, assets or deposits of CCFC and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (x) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of any class of Equity Securities representing 10% or more of the voting power of CCFC or any of its Subsidiaries, (y) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 10% or more of any class of Equity Securities of CCFC or (z) merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving CCFC or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written proposal made by a third party to acquire, directly or indirectly, including pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the shares of CCFC Common Stock then outstanding or all or substantially all of CCFC’s consolidated assets, which the CCFC Board determines in good faith, after taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal (including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation), and after taking into account the advice of CCFC’s financial advisor (which shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm and which is agreed to include Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett, Inc.) and outside counsel, (i) is more favorable from a financial point of view to its stockholders than the Merger, (ii) is reasonably likely to be consummated on the terms set forth, and (iii) for which financing, to the extent required, is then committed or which, in the good faith judgment of the CCFC Board, is reasonably likely to be obtained by such third party.

(b) In addition to the obligations of CCFC set forth in Section 6.08(a), CCFC shall promptly (within 48 hours) advise FCBI orally and in writing of its receipt of any Acquisition Proposal (or any inquiry which could reasonably lead to an Acquisition Proposal) and keep FCBI informed, on a current basis, of the continuing status thereof, including the terms and conditions thereof and any changes thereto, and shall contemporaneously provide to FCBI all materials provided to or made available to any third party pursuant to this Section 6.08 which were not previously provided to FCBI.

(c) CCFC agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.08 by any Representative of CCFC or its Subsidiaries shall be deemed a breach of this Section 6.08 by CCFC.

6.09 Certain Policies. Prior to the Effective Date, each of CCFC and its Subsidiaries shall, consistent with GAAP and applicable banking laws and regulations, modify or change its Loan, OREO, accrual, reserve, Tax, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) so as to be applied on a basis that is consistent with that of FCBI; provided, however, that no such modifications or changes need be made prior to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01(b); and further provided that in any event, no accrual or reserve made by CCFC or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.09 shall constitute or be deemed to be a breach, violation of or failure to satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, condition or other provision of this Agreement or otherwise be considered in determining whether any such breach, violation or failure to satisfy shall have occurred. The recording of any such adjustments shall not be deemed to imply any misstatement of previously furnished financial statements or information and shall not be construed as concurrence of CCFC or its management with any such adjustments.

6.10 Nasdaq Listing. FCBI agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to list, prior to the Effective Date, on the Nasdaq the shares of FCBI Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger.

6.11 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, FCBI (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director, officer and employee of CCFC or a CCFC Subsidiary, as applicable, determined as of the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, arising in whole or in part out of or pertaining to the fact that he or she was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of CCFC or any CCFC Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of CCFC or any CCFC Subsidiary as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including without limitation matters related to the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement or consummation of the Transaction, to the fullest extent which such Indemnified Parties would be entitled under the CCFC Articles and the CCFC Bylaws or equivalent documents of any CCFC Subsidiary, as applicable, or any agreement, arrangement or understanding which is set forth in Section 6.11(a) of CCFC’s Disclosure Schedule, in each case as in effect on the date hereof.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.11, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party if such failure does not actually prejudice the Indemnifying Party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit,

proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties that make joint representation inappropriate, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay, promptly as statements therefore are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties (which may not exceed one firm in any jurisdiction unless the Indemnified Parties have conflicts of interest), (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation hereunder in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable laws and regulations.

(c) FCBI shall maintain CCFC’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or provide a policy providing comparable coverage and amounts on terms no less favorable to the persons currently covered by CCFC’s existing policy, including FCBI’s existing policy if it meets the foregoing standard) covering persons who are currently covered by such insurance for a period of five (5) years after the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall FCBI be obligated to expend, in order to maintain or provide insurance coverage pursuant to this Section 6.11(c), an aggregate amount in excess of 150% of the premium paid by CCFC as of the date hereof for such insurance (“Maximum Insurance Amount”); provided further, that if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Insurance Amount, FCBI shall obtain the most advantageous coverage obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Insurance Amount.

(d) If FCBI or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of FCBI shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

6.12 Benefit Plans.

(a) As soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time, FCBI shall take all reasonable action so that employees of CCFC and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to participate in each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of FCBI of general applicability (the “FCBI Benefit Plans”) to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of FCBI and its Subsidiaries (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of CCFC and its Subsidiaries in the FCBI Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans), provided that coverage shall be continued under the corresponding Benefit Plans of CCFC and its Subsidiaries until such employees are permitted to participate in the FCBI Benefit

Plans and provided further, however, that nothing contained herein shall require FCBI or any of its Subsidiaries to make any grants to any former employee of CCFC or its Subsidiaries under any discretionary equity compensation plan of FCBI. FCBI shall cause each FCBI Benefit Plan in which employees of CCFC and its Subsidiaries are eligible to participate to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in, the vesting of benefits and for all other purposes (but not for accrual of pension benefits) under the FCBI Benefit Plans, the service of such employees with CCFC and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by CCFC or its Subsidiaries, provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of FCBI to amend or terminate any of CCFC’s Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time.

(b) Subject to Sections 6.12(f), (g) and (i), at and following the Effective Time, FCBI shall honor, and the Surviving Corporation shall continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance with their terms, all benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of, current and former employees of CCFC and its Subsidiaries and current and former directors of CCFC and its Subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Date, as well as all employment, severance, bonus, salary continuation, deferred compensation, split dollar, supplemental retirement or “change-in-control” agreements, plans or policies of CCFC and its Subsidiaries to the extent that each of the foregoing are Previously Disclosed. The severance or termination payments which are payable pursuant to such agreements, plans or policies of CCFC or its Subsidiaries (which have been quantified in reasonable detail) are set forth in Section 6.12(b) of CCFC’s Disclosure Schedule.

(c) At such time as employees of CCFC or its Subsidiaries become eligible to participate in a medical, dental or health plan of FCBI or its Subsidiaries, FCBI shall cause each such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions covered under the applicable medical, health or dental plans of FCBI, (ii) provide full credit under such plans for any deductibles, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees and their beneficiaries during the portion of the calendar year prior to such participation and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to such employee on or after the Effective Time to the extent such employee had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Plan prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Each of CCFC, its Subsidiaries, and FCBI acknowledges and agrees that all provisions contained within this Section 6.12 with respect to employees are included for the sole benefit of CCFC and FCBI and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including, Benefit Plans or any beneficiary thereof or (ii) to continued employment with CCFC, its Subsidiaries, FCBI, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates.

(e) The CCFC Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) shall be terminated as of the Effective Time. The Merger Consideration received by the ESOP trustees with respect to the unallocated shares of CCFC Common Stock held by the ESOP shall be first applied by the ESOP trustees to the full repayment of the ESOP loan. The shares of FCBI Common Stock and the remaining cash received by the ESOP shall be allocated to the ESOP participants in accordance with the terms of the ESOP and applicable laws and regulations as soon as

practicable after the Effective Time. In connection with the termination of the ESOP, CCFC shall promptly apply to the IRS for a favorable determination letter on the tax-qualified status of the ESOP on terminations and any amendments made to the ESOP in connection with its termination or otherwise, if such amendments have not previously received a favorable determination letter from the IRS with respect to their qualification under Code Section 401(a). Any amendments to the ESOP requested by the IRS prior to the Effective Time shall be adopted by CCFC and any amendments requested by the IRS after the Effective Time shall be promptly adopted by FCBI. Any and all distributions from the ESOP after its termination shall be made consistent with the aforementioned determination letter from the IRS. CCFC shall not make any further contributions to the ESOP or permit the ESOP to make any allocations to the ESOP participants other than in connection with the termination of the ESOP or as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

(f) Effective as of the Effective Time, (i) FC Bank shall have entered into consulting agreements with each of George W. Brawley, Jr. and Billy R. Williams, the forms of which are attached as Annexes D and F, respectively, hereto, and (ii) Mooresville Savings shall have entered into an employment agreement with Dale W. Brawley, the form of which is attached as Annex E hereto.

(g) Effective as of the Effective Time, FC Bank shall enter into a one-year consulting agreement with each non-employee director of CCFC and Mooresville Savings, the form of which is attached as Annex G hereto.

(h) An employee of CCFC or its Subsidiaries (other than an employee who is a party to an employment agreement or a severance agreement) whose employment is involuntarily terminated other than for cause following the Effective Time but on or before the date which is six months from the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive severance payments pursuant to CCFC’s severance plan which is set forth in Section 6.12(h) of CCFC’s Disclosure Schedule.

(i) Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, FCBI, Mooresville Savings and each of George W. Brawley, Jr., Dale W. Brawley and Billy R. Williams shall execute and deliver a Settlement Agreement in the forms of Annexes H, I and J, respectively, pursuant to which Messrs. George Brawley, Dale Brawley and Williams agree to terminate their existing employment agreements with Mooresville Savings on the terms set forth therein and, in the case of Dale Brawley, amend Plans IV and V of his Retirement Payment Agreement.

6.13 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of CCFC and FCBI shall give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (i) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it or (ii) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.

6.14 Antitakeover Statutes. Each of FCBI and CCFC and their respective Boards of Directors shall, if any state antitakeover statute or similar statute becomes applicable to this Agreement and the Transaction, take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that the Transaction may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby

and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement and the Transaction.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

8.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the Transaction may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) Mutual Consent. By the mutual consent in writing of FCBI and CCFC.

(b) Breach. Provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, by FCBI or CCFC, in the event of a breach by the other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, which breach (i) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to the breaching party or parties of such breach and (ii) would entitle the non-breaching party not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under Section 7.02(a) or (b) or 7.03(a) or (b), as the case may be.

(c) Delay. By FCBI or CCFC, in the event that the Merger is not consummated by February 27, 2009, except to the extent that the failure of the Merger then to be consummated by such date shall be due to (i) the failure of the party seeking to terminate pursuant to this Section 8.01(c) to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth in this Agreement or (ii) the failure of any of the Shareholders (if CCFC is the party seeking to terminate) to perform or observe his covenants and agreements under the relevant Shareholder Agreement.

(d) No Regulatory Approval. By FCBI or CCFC in the event the approval of any Governmental Authority required for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been denied by final nonappealable action of such Governmental Authority or an application therefor shall have been permanently withdrawn at the

request of a Governmental Authority, provided, however, that no party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) if such denial shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants of such party set forth herein.

(e) No CCFC Stockholder Approval. By either FCBI or CCFC, if any approval of the stockholders of CCFC contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at the CCFC Meeting or at any adjournment thereof.

(f) CCFC Failure to Recommend; Etc. By FCBI if (i) CCFC shall have materially breached the provisions of Section 6.08 in any respect adverse to FCBI, (ii) the CCFC Board shall have failed to make its recommendation referred to in Section 6.02(a), withdrawn such recommendation or modified or changed such recommendation in a manner adverse in any respect to the interests of FCBI, or (iii) CCFC shall have materially breached its obligations under Section 6.02(a) by failing to call, give notice of, convene and hold the CCFC Meeting in accordance with Section 6.02(a).

(g) Certain Tender or Exchange Offers. By FCBI if a tender offer or exchange offer for 15% or more of the outstanding shares of CCFC Common Stock is commenced (other than by FCBI or a Subsidiary thereof), and the CCFC Board recommends that the stockholders of CCFC tender their shares in such tender or exchange offer or otherwise fails to recommend that such stockholders reject such tender offer or exchange offer within the ten-Business Day period specified in Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act.

(h) FCBI Optional Adjustment. By CCFC at any time during the two-day period following the Determination Date, if the Average Closing Price shall be less than $22.75;

subject to the following: If CCFC elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to this Section 8.01(h), it shall give prompt written notice to FCBI; provided that such notice of election to terminate may be withdrawn at any time within the aforementioned two-day period. During the period commencing with its receipt of such notice and ending at the Effective Time, FCBI shall have the option of increasing the Exchange Ratio to equal a number equal to a quotient (rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth), the numerator of which is the product of the $22.75 and the Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) and the denominator of which is the Average Closing Price.

If FCBI makes this election, within such period, it shall give prompt written notice to CCFC of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have occurred pursuant to this Section 8.01(h) and this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms (except as the Exchange Ratio shall have been so modified), and any references in this Agreement to “Exchange Ratio” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Exchange Ratio after giving effect to any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8.01(h).

8.02 Effect of Termination and Abandonment.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to this Article VIII, no party to this Agreement shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party hereunder except that (i) this Section 8.02, Section 6.06(c) and

Article IX shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither FCBI nor CCFC shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its fraud or willful breach of any provision of this Agreement.

(b) The parties hereto agree that CCFC shall pay FCBI the sum of $1.0 million (the “Termination Fee”) if this Agreement is terminated as follows:

(i) if this Agreement is terminated by FCBI pursuant to Section 8.01(f) or (g), CCFC shall pay the entire Termination Fee to FCBI on the second Business Day following the termination of this Agreement; or

(ii) if this Agreement is terminated by (A) FCBI pursuant to Section 8.01(b), (B) by either FCBI or CCFC pursuant to Section 8.01(c) and at the time of such termination no vote of the CCFC stockholders contemplated by this Agreement at the CCFC Meeting shall have occurred, or (C) by either FCBI or CCFC pursuant to Section 8.01(e), and in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C), an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise communicated or made known to the senior management of CCFC or the CCFC Board (or any Person shall have publicly announced, communicated or made known an intention, whether or not conditional, to make an Acquisition Proposal, or reiterated a previously expressed plan or intention to make an Acquisition Proposal) at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the taking of the vote of the stockholders of CCFC contemplated by this Agreement at the CCFC Meeting, in the case of clause (C), or the date of termination, in the case of clause (A) or (B), then (1) if within 12 months after such termination CCFC enters into an agreement with respect to a Control Transaction, then CCFC shall pay to FCBI the Termination Fee on the date of execution of such agreement and (2) if a Control Transaction is consummated otherwise than pursuant to an agreement with CCFC within 15 months after such termination, then CCFC shall pay to FCBI the Termination Fee on the date of such consummation of such Control Transaction. As used in this Section 8.02(b), a “Control Transaction” means (i) the acquisition by any Person whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer or otherwise, in one transaction or any series of transactions, of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding securities of CCFC or Mooresville Savings or a majority of the assets or CCFC or Mooresville Savings, (ii) any issuance of securities resulting in the ownership by any Person of more than 50% of the voting power of CCFC or by any Person other than CCFC or its Subsidiaries of more than 50% of the voting power of Mooresville Savings or (iii) any merger, consolidation or other business combination transaction involving CCFC or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of which the stockholders of CCFC cease to own, in the aggregate, at least 50% of the total voting power of the entity surviving or resulting from such transaction.

Any amount that becomes payable pursuant to this Section 8.02(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by FCBI.

(c) CCFC and FCBI agree that the agreement contained in paragraph (b) above is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that without such agreement FCBI would not have entered into this Agreement, and that such amounts do not constitute a penalty or liquidated damages in the event of a breach of this Agreement by CCFC. If CCFC fails to pay FCBI the amounts due under paragraph (b) above within the time periods

specified in such paragraph (b), CCFC shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by FCBI in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit, taken to collect payment of such amounts, provided FCBI prevails on the merits, together with interest on the amount of any such unpaid amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until the date of actual payment.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

9.01 Survival. No representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time (other than agreements or covenants contained herein that by their express terms are to be performed after the Effective Time) or the termination of this Agreement if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time (other than Sections 6.06(c), 8.02 and this Article IX, which shall survive any such termination). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated or extinguished so as to deprive a party hereto or any of its affiliates of any defense at law or in equity which otherwise would be available against the claims of any Person, including without limitation any shareholder or former shareholder.

9.02 Waiver; Amendment. Prior to the Effective Time, any provision of this Agreement may be (i) waived, by the party benefited by the provision or (ii) amended or modified at any time, by an agreement in writing among the parties hereto executed in the same manner as this Agreement, except that after the CCFC Meeting no amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval by the stockholders of CCFC without obtaining such approval.

9.03 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original.

9.04 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

9.07 Entire Understanding; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the Bank Merger Agreement, the Shareholder Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding of the parties hereto and thereto with reference to the Transaction, and this Agreement, the Bank Merger Agreement, the Shareholder Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement supersede any and all other oral or written agreements heretofore made. Except for the Indemnified Parties’ right to enforce FCBI’s obligation under Section 6.11,

which are expressly intended to be for the irrevocable benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.08 Severability. Except to the extent that application of this Section 9.08 would have a Material Adverse Effect on CCFC or FCBI, any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. In all such cases, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision which, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents of this Agreement.

9.09 Enforcement of the Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event attorneys’ fees or other costs are incurred to secure performance of any of the obligations herein provided for, or to establish damages for the breach thereof, or to obtain any other appropriate relief, whether by way of prosecution or defense, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred therein.

9.10 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of, or Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Whenever the words “as of the date hereof” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to mean the day and year first above written.

9.11 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.12 Alternative Structure. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, FCBI may at any time modify the structure of the acquisition of CCFC set forth herein, provided that (i) the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of CCFC Common Stock is not thereby changed in kind or reduced in amount as a result of such modification, (ii) such modification will not adversely affect the tax treatment to CCFC’s stockholders as a result of
