A termination by Executive shall not constitute Good Reason unless Executive shall first have delivered to the Bank written notice setting forth with specificity the occurrence deemed to give rise to a right to terminate for Good Reason (which notice must be given no later than 90 days after the initial occurrence of such event), and the Bank has failed within 60 days of such notice to correct the circumstance that would otherwise constitute Good Reason.

If Executive is not a party to an endorsement split-dollar life insurance agreement at the time of his death, the Bank shall pay Executive’s Beneficiary the present value of the benefit remaining payments that would have been made to Executive, payable in a lump sum on the first day of the second month following Executive’s death. For purposes of this provision, the discount rate used for accounting purposes shall also be used as the discount rate to determine the present value of any benefit.

Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if Executive is terminated for Cause prior to the attainment of his Normal Retirement Age, all benefits under this Plan shall be forfeited by Executive and Executive’s participation in this Plan shall become null and void.

Benefit Payable on Separation from Service within Two Years Following a Change in Control. In the event a Change in Control occurs followed by Executive’s Involuntary Separation from Service or resignation for Good Reason within two (2) years, Executive shall be entitled to his present value of the benefit that would otherwise be due under Section 2.1 of the Plan payable

Benefit on Disability. If Executive suffers a Disability prior to his Normal Retirement Age, Executive shall be entitled to receive the benefit due under Section 2.1 of the Plan, as if Executive has attained his Normal Retirement Age, commencing on the Benefit Eligibility Date set forth in Section 1.5(e) of the Plan and paid over the Payout Period specified in Section 1.14 of the Plan.

Named Fiduciary and Administrator. The Bank shall be the Named Fiduciary and Administrator of this Plan. As Administrator, the Bank shall be responsible for the management, control and administration of the Plan as established herein. The Administrator may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operational responsibilities of the Plan, including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.

Claims Procedure and Arbitration. In the event that benefits under this Plan is not paid to Executive (or to his Beneficiary in the case of Executive’s death) and the claimant(s) feel he or they are entitled to receive the benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Administrator within sixty (60) days from the date payments are refused. The Administrator shall review the written claim and, if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, it shall provide in writing, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such claim, its specific reasons for such denial, reference to the provisions of this Plan upon which the denial is based, and any additional material or information necessary for such claimants to perfect the claim. The written notice by the Administrator shall further indicate the additional steps which must be undertaken by claimants if an additional review of the claim denial is desired.

No Effect on Employment Rights. Nothing contained herein will confer upon Executive the right to be retained in the service of the Bank nor limit the right of the Bank to discharge or otherwise deal with Executive without regard to the existence of the Plan.

State Law. The Plan is established under, and will be construed according to, the laws of the State of Maryland, to the extent such laws are not preempted by ERISA and valid regulations published thereunder or any other federal law.

Severability and Interpretation of Provisions. The Bank shall have full power and authority to interpret, construe and administer this Plan and the Bank’s interpretation and construction thereof and actions thereunder shall be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes. No employee or representative of the Bank shall be liable to any person for any actions taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Plan unless attributable to his own willful misconduct or lack of good faith. In the event that any of the provisions of this Plan or portion hereof are held to be inoperative or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, or in the event that any provision is found to violate Code Section 409A and would subject Executive to additional taxes and interest on the amounts deferred hereunder, or in the event that any legislation adopted by any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Bank would be retroactively applied to invalidate this Plan or any provision hereof or cause the benefits under this Plan to be taxable, then: (1) insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to the intent manifested in the provisions held invalid or inoperative, and (2) the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby. In the event that the intent of any provision shall need to be construed in a manner to avoid taxability, this construction shall be made by the Administrator in a manner that would manifest to the maximum extent possible the original meaning of such provisions.

Incapacity of Recipient. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his property, the Bank may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Bank may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. The distribution shall completely discharge the Bank for all liability with respect to the benefit.

Unclaimed Benefit. Executive shall keep the Bank informed of his or her current address and the current address of his Beneficiaries. If the location of Executive is not made known to the Bank, the Bank shall delay payment of Executive’s benefit payment(s) until the location of Executive is made known to the Bank; however, the Bank shall only be obligated to hold the benefit payment(s) for Executive until the expiration of three (3) years. Upon expiration of the three (3) year period, the Bank may discharge its obligation by payment to Executive’s Beneficiary. If the location of Executive’s Beneficiary is not known to the Bank, Executive and his Beneficiary(ies) shall thereupon forfeit any rights to the balance, if any, of any benefits provided for such Executive and/or Beneficiary under this Plan.

Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as an employee or agent of the Bank, or as a member of the Board of Directors shall be personally liable to Executive or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan.

Gender. Whenever in this Plan words are used in the masculine or neuter gender, they shall be read and construed as in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, whenever they should so apply.

Effect on Other Corporate Benefit Plans. Nothing contained in this Plan shall affect the right of Executive to participate in or be covered by any qualified or nonqualified pension, profit sharing, group, bonus or other supplemental compensation or fringe benefit agreement constituting a part of the Bank’s existing or future compensation structure.

Inurement. This Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank, its successors and assigns, and Executive, his successors, heirs, executors, administrators, and Beneficiaries.

Acceleration of Payments. Except as specifically permitted under this Section 6.10 or in other sections of this Plan, no acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment may be made under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments may be accelerated hereunder by the Bank, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) and any subsequent guidance issued by the United States Treasury Department. Accordingly, payments may be accelerated, in accordance with requirements and conditions of the Treasury Regulations (or subsequent guidance) in the following circumstances: (i) as a result of certain domestic relations orders; (ii) in compliance with ethics agreements with the Federal Government; (iii) in compliance with ethics laws or conflicts of interest laws; (iv) in limited cash-outs (but not in excess of the limit under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B)); (v) in the case of certain distributions to avoid a non-allocation year under Code Section 409(p); (vi) to apply certain offsets in satisfaction of a debt of Executive to the Bank; (vii) in satisfaction of certain bona fide disputes between Executive and the Bank; or (viii) for any other purpose set forth in the Treasury Regulations and subsequent guidance.

Headings. Headings and sub-headings in this Plan are inserted for reference and convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Plan.

12 U.S.C. §1828(k). Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Plan or otherwise are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k) or any regulations promulgated thereunder.

Payment of Employment and Code Section 409A Taxes. Any distribution under this Plan shall be reduced by the amount of any taxes required to be withheld from the distribution. This Plan shall permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment to pay employment-related taxes as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j) or to pay any taxes that may become due at any time that the arrangement fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. In the latter case, such payments shall not exceed the amount required to be included in income as the result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

Successors to the Bank. The Bank, as applicable, will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Bank to assume expressly and agree to perform the duties and obligations under this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent as the Bank would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

Legal Fees. In the event Executive retains legal counsel to enforce any of the terms of the Plan, the Bank will pay the reasonable legal fees and related expenses reasonably incurred by him, but only if Executive prevails in an action seeking legal and/or equitable relief against the Bank.

This Plan may be amended or modified at any time, in whole or part, with the mutual written consent of Executive and the Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Plan may be amended without Executive’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with existing tax laws or changes to existing tax laws or to amend or terminate the Plan in accordance with Section 7.2 below.

Termination of Plan.

Partial Termination. The Board of Directors, at its discretion, may partially terminate the Plan by freezing future accruals if, in its sole judgment, the tax, accounting, or other effects of the continuance of the Plan, or potential payments thereunder, would not be in the best interests of the Bank.

Complete Termination. Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, in the event of complete termination of the Plan, the Plan shall cease to operate and the Bank shall pay out to Executive his benefits as if Executive had terminated employment as of the effective date of the complete termination. A complete termination of the Plan shall occur only under the following circumstances and conditions:

The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the benefit is included in Executive’s (or his Beneficiary’s) gross income (and paid to Executive or his Beneficiary) in the latest of (i) the calendar year in which the Plan terminates; (ii) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (iii) the first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.

The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan by Board of Directors action taken within the 30 days preceding or 12 months following a Change in Control, provided that the Plan shall only be treated as terminated if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Bank are terminated so that Executive and all participants under substantially similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts payable under the terminated arrangements within 12 months of the date of the termination of the arrangements.

The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan at any time provided that (i) the termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Bank, (ii) all arrangements sponsored by the Bank that would be aggregated with this Plan under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(c) if Executive was also covered by any of those other arrangements are also terminated; (iii) no payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within 12 months of the termination of the arrangement (e.g., Executive’s benefit); (iv) all payments are made within 24 months of the termination of the arrangements; and (v) the Bank does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(c) if Executive participated in both arrangements, at any time within three years following the date of termination of the arrangement.

This Plan sets forth the entire understanding of the Bank and Executive with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and any previous agreements or understandings between them regarding the subject matter hereof are merged into and superseded by this Plan.

This Plan shall be executed in duplicate, each copy of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but both copies shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
