Exhibit 10.3

Execution Version

TERMINATION AGREEMENT

THIS TERMINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between The Bank of Delmarva, a Delaware chartered commercial bank (the “Bank”) and the wholly owned subsidiary of the Delmar Bancorp (the “Company” and together with the Bank, the “Employer”), and John W. Breda (“Executive”) (collectively, the “Parties”).  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the 2015 Employment Agreement (as defined below).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company and Virginia Partners Bank (“Partners”) have entered into the Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange dated December 13, 2018 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”, and as consummated the “Transaction”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, the Parties have agreed to terminate the Employment Agreement between Executive and the Employer dated December 10, 2015 (the “2015 Employment Agreement”), effective as of immediately before the “Effective Time” of the Transaction as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Effective Time”), and enter into a new employment agreement to be effective as of the Effective Time (the “New Employment Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, the Parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, mutually agree as follows:

1.                                      Termination of 2015 Employment Agreement.  Effective as of immediately before the Effective Time, the 2015 Employment Agreement shall be terminated, Executive shall have no rights thereunder, and the 2015 Employment Agreement shall be of no further force and effect.

2.                                      Transaction Bonus.  If the Executive satisfies the requirements of Section 3 of this Agreement, the Employer (or its successors) will pay the Executive a single cash payment equal to One Million Forty-Eight Thousand Dollars ($1,048,000) and, for a nominal consideration of Ten Dollars ($10) paid by Executive, transfer the automobile owned by the Bank which has been provided for Executive’s use (together, the “Transaction Bonus”).  The cash Transaction Bonus will be paid, and the automobile title transferred, to the Executive no later than the first regular payroll date following the fifth business day after the Release Effective Date (as defined in Section 3 below).

3.                                      Release.  The Employer’s obligation to pay or provide the Transaction Bonus is conditioned upon the Executive’s execution of the General Release and Waiver of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) and the Release becoming effective and irrevocable within the period set forth in the Release.  The date on which the Release becomes effective and irrevocable is referred to in this Agreement as the “Release Effective Date.”  The Executive cannot execute the Release earlier than one (1) day prior to the Effective Time or later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Time.  If the Release is not timely executed, no Transaction Bonus will be paid.

4.                                      Tax Withholdings.  All payments that are made pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by withholdings for applicable income and employment taxes.

5.                                      If Transaction Does Not Occur.  If the Transaction does not occur for any reason, then this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio and the 2015 Employment Agreement shall remain in effect.

6.                                      No Executive Rights under 2015 Employment Agreement.  Executive agrees that, upon the termination of the 2015 Employment Agreement, any entitlement, right or claim arising under the 2015 Employment Agreement shall be extinguished and cancelled, and Executive shall not be eligible to receive from the Employer (or its predecessors or successors) any amount, benefit or payment in consideration of or related to the 2015 Employment Agreement or the termination thereof, including without limitation any severance payment or benefit, and Executive fully, unconditionally and irrevocably releases the Employer and their respective affiliates from any and all complaints, claims, liabilities and obligations under the 2015 Employment Agreement.  Executive hereby also acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s right to receive the Transaction Bonus provides sufficient consideration for Executive’s agreements under this Agreement, including without limitation the release of claims set forth in Exhibit A and the restrictive covenants in Section 7 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that entry into this Agreement and termination of the 2015 Employment Agreement shall have no effect on the award of 2,500 shares of restricted stock of the Company that are due to be awarded to Executive on December 31, 2018.

7.                                      Restrictive Covenants.  In consideration of the Transaction Bonus, Executive agrees to the following restrictive covenants.

7.1                               Non-Competition.  Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that, during the course of employment, Executive has become familiar with and involved in all aspects of the business and operations of the Employer.  Executive hereby covenants and agrees that for four (4) years after the Effective Time (the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not, without the prior approval of a majority of the Company’s board of directors (Executive not participating), directly or indirectly, in any capacity (whether as a proprietor, owner, agent, officer, director, shareholder, organizer, partner, principal, manager, member, employee, contractor, consultant or otherwise) own, manage or control or participate in the ownership, management or control, or perform services that are the same as or substantially to those services provided by Executive to the Bank Entities twelve (12) months prior to the cessation of Executive’s employment by the Bank Entities to, any Competitive Business or to any Person that is attempting to form or acquire a Competitive Business if such Competitive Business operates, or is planning to operate, any office, branch or other facility (in any case, a “Branch”) that is (or is proposed to be) located within a fifty (50) mile radius of the Bank Entities’ headquarters or within a twenty-five (25) mile radius of any Branch office of the Bank Entities that is in existence immediately prior to the cessation of Executive’s employment by the Bank Entities.  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, this Section 7.1 does not restrict Executive’s right to (a) own or acquire securities of any entity that files periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); provided that his total ownership constitutes less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding securities of such entity; (b) to own, or during the Restricted Period to maintain ownership of

2

(but not to acquire ownership of), passive investments in securities of any entity that does not file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided that his total ownership constitutes less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of such company or (c) to serve as a director of Westminster American Insurance Company.

7.2                               Non-Interference.  Executive hereby covenants and agrees that during the Restricted Period, he will not, directly, or indirectly, for himself or any other Person (whether as a proprietor, owner, agent, officer, director, shareholder, organizer, partner, principal, member, manager, employee, contractor, consultant or any other capacity):

(a)                                 solicit or divert from any Bank Entity or transact business with any “Customer” of any Bank Entity with whom Executive had “Material Contact” during the last twelve (12) months of Executive’s employment or about whom Executive obtained Confidential Information while acting within the scope of his employment during the last twelve (12) months of employment, if the purpose of such solicitation, diversion or transaction is to provide Competitive Products or Services. “Material Contact” means that Executive personally communicated with the Customer, either orally or in writing, for the purpose of providing, offering to provide or assisting in providing products or services of the Bank Entity.  “Customer” means any person or entity with whom the Bank Entity had a depository or other contractual relationship, pursuant to which the Bank Entity provided products or services within twenty-four (24) months prior to the cessation of Executive’s employment; or

(b)                                 hire any person employed by any Bank Entity within the last six (6) months prior to the cessation of Executive’s employment or solicit for hire or induce any person to terminate their employment with a Bank Entity, if the purpose is to compete with a Bank Entity.

(c)                                  Exception.  A general solicitation through a public medium specifically directed toward any Customer or other person shall constitute a breach of Section 7.2.

7.3                               Injunction.  In the event of any breach or threatened or attempted breach of any provision of this Section 7 by Executive, the Employer shall, in addition to and not to the exclusion of any other rights and remedies at law or in equity, be entitled to seek and receive from any court of competent jurisdiction (a) full temporary and permanent injunctive relief enjoining and restraining Executive and each and every other Person concerned therein from the continuation of such violative acts and (b) a decree for specific performance of the applicable provisions of this Agreement, without being required to furnish any bond or other security.

7.4                               Reasonableness.  Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 7 and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions and agreements set forth in this Section 7 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of

3

the Bank Entities.  Executive further agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement will not impair or unreasonably restrain his ability to earn a livelihood.

7.5                               Definitions.  For purposes of this Section 7, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)                                 “Bank Entity or Entities” means and includes any of the Bank, the Company, any subsidiary of the Bank, and any subsidiary of the Company, whether now existing or hereafter organized or acquired.

(b)                                 “Competitive Business” means the banking and financial services business, which includes, without limitation, consumer savings, commercial banking, the savings and loan business and mortgage lending, or any other business in which any of the Bank Entities is engaged or has invested significant resources within the prior six (6) month period in preparation for becoming actively engaged.

(c)                                  “Competitive Products or Services” means, as of any time of determination, those products or services of the type that any of the Bank Entities is providing, or is actively preparing to provide, to its customers, but does not include any products or services that the Bank Entities have ceased to provide.

8.                                      Section 409A.  The Parties agree that this Agreement is intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as a “short-term deferral,” as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with such intent.

9.                                      Section 280G.  To the extent Code Section 280G applies to any payments or benefits under this Agreement, Section 10 of the New Employment Agreement will govern such payments or benefits.

10.                               Governing Law; Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and to be performed therein, without giving effect to the choice of law rules thereof.  Any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement may be brought only in the Circuit Court of Wicomico County, Maryland or in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division.  Accordingly, each party (a) agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and (b) irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient or inappropriate forum.
