8

applicable statute or any rule, regulation, order, agreement or understanding promulgated by any Bank Regulatory Agency, or should any term or condition required to be included herein by any such Bank Regulatory Agency be absent, this Agreement may be terminated by the Company or the Bank if the parties hereto cannot in good faith agree upon such additions, deletions or modifications as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to bring this Agreement into compliance.  Each of the Company and the Bank shall use its good faith reasonable efforts to defend and uphold the terms of this Agreement with each appropriate Bank Regulatory Agency.  If, notwithstanding such efforts, a modification of this Agreement is required, the Company and the Bank will use good faith reasonable efforts to honor the spirit and intent of the Agreement within said regulatory restrictions and regulatory policy.  A termination by the Company or the Bank pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be deemed to be a termination by Executive pursuant to Section 7.6(a), except that no notice shall be required and, Executive shall not be bound by the terms of Section 8.4 and Section 8.5 and said provisions thereof shall not apply to Executive.

10

Executive constituting such failure or refusal.  If Executive has not corrected or cured such failure or refusal, or commenced curative action, within ten (10) days after having received written notice, termination hereunder shall be deemed to be a termination for Cause.  The Bank and the Company may, in the exercise of their sole discretion, elect to relieve Executive of all duties during the period following giving of notice by Executive under this section and the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment (the “Executive Resignation Period”), however, in such event, Executive shall continue to be paid and receive all benefits as provided for in this Agreement during the Executive Resignation Period.

(a)                                 If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank Entities’ affairs by an order issued under Sections 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the FDIA, all obligations of the Bank and/or Company under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order.

(b)                                 If the Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of FDIA), all obligations of the Bank and the Company under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default.

(c)                                  If a notice served under Sections 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the FDIA suspends and/or temporarily prohibits Executive from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs, the Company’s and the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of such service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings.  If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Company and the Bank shall promptly

12

(i) pay Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations that were suspended.

(d)                                 If the Company or the Bank is prohibited from making a payment hereunder, or agreeing to make a payment hereunder, under Part 359 of the regulations of the FDIC, then the Company and the Bank shall not be obligated to make such payment, and Executive shall have no right to receive such payment.  If the Company or the Bank is prohibited from making a payment hereunder without the prior consent or approval of the FDIC or other Bank Regulatory Agency, then the Company and the Bank shall not be obligated to make such payment, and Executive shall have no right to receive such payment, unless such consent or approval is received.  In such event, Executive may terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice and the Executive shall not be bound by the terms of Section 8.4 and Section 8.5 and said provisions thereof shall not apply to Executive.

(e)                                  The occurrence of any of the events described in paragraph (a) of this Section 7.10 may be considered by the Bank in connection with a termination for Cause.

8.                                      Confidentiality; Non-Competition; Non-Interference.

8.1                               Confidential Information.  Executive, during employment, will have, and has had, access to and become familiar with various confidential and proprietary information of the Bank Entities and/or relating to the business of the Bank Entities (“Confidential Information”), including, but not limited to: business plans; operating results; financial statements and financial information; contracts; mailing lists; purchasing information; customer data (including lists, names and requirements); feasibility studies; personnel related information (including compensation, compensation plans, and staffing plans); internal working documents and communications; and other materials related to the businesses or activities of the Bank Entities which is made available only to employees with a need to know or which is not made available to the public.  Failure to mark any Confidential Information as confidential, proprietary or protected information shall not affect its status as part of the Confidential Information subject to the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Confidential Information” shall not include (1) information that is or becomes public without a breach of the Agreement, (2) information that became available to the Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source not bound, to the Executive’s knowledge, by a fiduciary duty of confidentiality or a non-disclosure agreement that covers the relevant information, (3) information that the Executive knows (and can demonstrate that he knows) before commencing employment with the Bank, (4) information independently developed by the Executive without the use of information otherwise classified as Confidential Information subject to the Agreement, and (5) information required to be disclosed by law after notice so that the Bank can contest the required disclosure or seek some other protection.

13

8.2                               Nondisclosure.  Executive hereby covenants and agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or use, or authorize any Person to disclose or use, any Confidential Information (whether or not any of the Confidential Information is novel or known by any other Person); provided however, that this restriction shall not apply to the use or disclosure of Confidential Information (i) to any governmental entity to the extent required by law, or (ii) which is or becomes publicly known and available through no wrongful act of Executive or any Affiliate of Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive, the Company and the Bank acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be interpreted, construed, asserted or enforced by the Company or Bank to prohibit Executive from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation.  Further, nothing contained in this Agreement, or any Release and Waiver delivered in accordance with this Agreement, shall be interpreted, construed, asserted or enforced by Company or Bank to prohibit or disqualify Executive form being awarded, receiving and/or enjoying the benefit of, any award, reward, emolument or payment, or other relief of any kind whatsoever, from any agency, which is provided based upon Executive’s providing information to any such agency as a whistleblower under applicable law or regulation

8.3                               Documents.  All files, papers, records, documents, compilations, summaries, lists, reports, notes, databases, tapes, sketches, drawings, memoranda, and similar items, whether prepared by Executive, or otherwise provided to or coming into the possession of Executive, that contain any proprietary Confidential Information about or pertaining or relating to the Bank Entities (the “Bank Information”) shall remain the exclusive property of the Bank Entities so long as the same contain Confidential Information. Promptly after a request by the Company or the Bank or the Termination Date, Executive shall take reasonable efforts to (i) return to the Company or the Bank all Bank Information in any tangible form (whether originals, copies or reproductions) and all computer disks or other media containing or embodying any Bank Information and (ii) purge and destroy all Bank Information in any intangible form (including computerized, digital or other electronic format) as may be requested in writing by either of the Boards, and Executive shall not retain in any form any such Bank Information or any summary, compilation, synopsis or abstract of any Bank Information.

8.4                               Non-Competition.  Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that, during the course of employment, Executive has become, and will become, familiar with and involved in all aspects of the business and operations of the Bank Entities.  Executive hereby covenants and agrees that during the Term and for one (1) year after the Termination Date (the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not, without the prior approval of a majority of the Company Board (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 Company or the Bank within twelve (12) months prior to the cessation of Executive’s employment by the Company or the Bank to, any Competitive Business or to any Person that is attempting to form or acquire a Competitive Business if such Competitive

14

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’s 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 date of termination of Executive’s employment.  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, this Section 8.4 does not restrict Executive’s right to (i) 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; (ii) to own, or during the Restricted Period to maintain ownership of (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 (iii) to serve as a director of Westminster American Insurance Company.

8.5                               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) moths 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 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 six (6) months prior to the Termination Date 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 8.5.

8.6                               Injunction.  In the event of any breach or threatened or attempted breach of any provision of this Section 8 by Executive, the Company and the Bank 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

15

from any court of competent jurisdiction (i) 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 (ii) a decree for specific performance of the applicable provisions of this Agreement, without being required to furnish any bond or other security.

8.7                               Exceptions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of Section 8.4 and 8.5 shall not apply in the event:

(a)                                 The Agreement is not renewed by the Company and the Bank at the end of an Initial Term or Renewal Term, and if Executive has not previously received a Change Payment under Section 9.2.1;

(b)                                 The Company and Bank terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1;

(c)                                  The Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of FDIA) and the Agreement is terminated as provided for in Section 7.10.1(b); or

(d)                                 The Bank is prohibited from making a payment hereunder as provided in Section 7.10.1(d) and this Agreement is terminated by Executive.

8.8                               Reasonableness.  Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 8 and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions and agreements set forth in this Section 8 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of the Bank Entities.  Executive, the Company, and the Bank acknowledge and agree that an amount equal to one (1) year of Salary (at the then current rate) of the amount has been promised to Executive as severance subject to Section 7.8, and an amount equal to one (1) year of Salary (at the then current rate) of the amount payable to Executive following a Change in Control has been promised in consideration of Executive’s agreement to be bound by Section 8.4 and Section 8.5 for a one (1) year period following termination of the Agreement under the circumstances provided herein. Executive further agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement will not impair or unreasonably restrain his ability to earn a livelihood.

9.                                      Change in Control.

9.1                               Definition.  “Change in Control” means and shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(a)                                 there shall be consummated (i) any consolidation, merger, share exchange, or similar transaction relating to the Bank or Company, pursuant to which shares of the Bank’s or Company’s capital stock are converted into cash, securities of another entity and/or other property, other than a transaction in which the holders of the Company’s voting stock immediately before such transaction shall, upon consummation of such transaction, own at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving entity, or (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Bank or Company, other than a transfer of assets to a related Person which is not treated as a change

16

in control event under §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(B) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations;

(b)                                 any person, entity or group (each within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than Kenneth R. Lehman, members of his immediate family (within the meaning of 12 CFR §225.41(b)(3)) and/or any Affiliates thereof, shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company  representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of all outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company (including, without limitation, any securities of the Company that any such Person has the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, which shall be deemed beneficially owned by such Person); or

(c)                                  over a twelve (12) month period, a majority of the members of the Company Board are replaced by directors whose appointment or election was not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company Board in office prior to such appointment or election.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the event purportedly constituting a Change in Control under Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b), or Section 9.1(c) does not also constitute a “change in ownership” of the Bank or Company, a “change in effective control” of the Bank or Company or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Bank or Company within the meaning of Section 409A, then such event shall not constitute a “Change in Control” hereunder.  For avoidance of any doubt, consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement will not constitute a Change in Control.

9.2                               Change in Control Payment.

9.2.1                     Change Payment.  If there is a Change in Control, Executive shall be paid in thirty-six (36) equal monthly cash payments (the “Change Payment”) by the Bank an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (i) three (3) times Executive’s Salary as of the date of the Change in Control, and, (ii) one (1) times the Average Bonus as of the date of the Change in Control. In addition, the Bank shall provide Executive with Benefits (or reimburse Executive for the cost of comparable benefits if the Bank is unable to provide such Benefits under applicable insurance policies) for the period during which the Change Payment is made.  The Change Payment payable to Executive under this Section 9.2.1 shall be in addition to and shall not be offset by any sums payable to Executive under Sections 5 or 7.8 or payable to Executive pursuant to a new contract, agreement or arrangement entered into between Executive and any successor entity or successor controlling shareholder, except as may be expressly agreed to by Executive in any such new contract agreement or arrangement.

17

9.2.2                     Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.2, any payment pursuant to this Section shall be subject to (i) any delay in payment required by Section 10.2 hereof and (ii) any reduction required pursuant to Section 10.1.2 hereof, as applicable.

10.                               Compliance with Certain Restrictions.

10.1                        Section 280G.

10.1.1              For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms are defined as follows:

(a)                                 “Additional 280G Payments” means any distributions in the nature of compensation by any Bank Entity to or for the benefit of Executive (including, but not limited to, the value of acceleration in vesting in restricted stock, options or any other stock-based compensation, and amounts paid to Executive pursuant to any other agreement between Executive and Company or Bank, or pursuant to any benefit plan in which Executive participates), whether or not paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to this Agreement, which is required to be taken into consideration in applying Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code;

(b)                                 “Parachute Payment” is defined as set forth in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code; and

(c)                                  “Total Change in Control Payments” means the total amount of the Change Payment together with all Additional 280G Payments that are required to be paid because of a Change in Control.

10.1.2              (a)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, other than the provisions of Section 10.1.3, if the Determining Firm (as hereinafter defined) determines that any portion of the Total Change in Control Payments would otherwise constitute a Parachute Payment, whether or not paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, would cause any portion of the Total Change in Control Payment to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 or would be nondeductible by the Company or Bank pursuant to Code Section 280G, then the Total Change in Control Payments will be reduced, beginning with the Change Payment, to an amount which will not cause any portion of the Total Change in Control Payments to constitute an excess parachute payment, as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (the “Reduced Change in Control Payments”).

(b)  All calculations and determinations required to be made under this Section 10.1, will be made by a reputable law or accounting firm experienced in making such calculations and determinations (the “Determining Firm”) selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive.  All fees and expenses of the Determining Firm will be obligations solely of the Company and the Bank.  The determination of the Determining Firm will be binding upon Executive, the Company and the Bank.  If the Total Change in Control Payments are to be paid in other than a lump sum, such reduction shall be applied in inverse order to the time at which the payments are scheduled to be made (e.g., the last scheduled payment will be the first such payment

18

to be reduced).  The Company and the Bank shall have no obligation to pay, or reimburse Executive for payment of, any tax or penalty which may be imposed or to which he may become subject as a result of the payment of any amounts under this Agreement.

10.1.3              Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated during the Initial Term or any Extension Term by the Company and/or the Bank without Cause, then the provisions of Section 10.1.2 shall not apply, and the Executive will receive the Total Change in Control Payments unless the (a) after-tax amount that would be retained by the Executive (after taking into account all federal, state, and local income taxes payable by the Executive and the amount of any excise taxes payable by the Executive under Section 4999 that would be payable by the Executive if the Executive were to receive the Total Change in Control Payments has a lesser aggregate value than (b) the after-tax amount that would be retained by the Executive (after taking into account all federal, state, and local income taxes payable by the Executive) if the Executive were to receive the Reduced Change in Control Payments, in which case the Executive shall be entitled only to the Reduced Change in Control Payments.

10.2                        Section 409A.

10.2.1              It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the payments provided for hereunder shall not be subject to, or shall be in accordance with, Section 409A, and thus, to the extent possible, avoid the imposition of any tax and interest on Executive pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he shall be solely responsible for the payment of any tax or penalty which may be imposed or to which he may become subject as a result of the payment of any amounts under this Agreement.

10.2.2              Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” at the time of his “separation from service”, any payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (in each case as determined pursuant to Section 409A) that is otherwise to be paid to Executive within six (6) months following  his separation from service, then to the extent that such payment would otherwise be subject to interest and additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code, such payment shall be delayed and shall be paid on the first business day of the seventh calendar month following Executive’s separation from service, or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death.  Any deferral of payments pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall have no effect on any payments that are scheduled to be paid more than six (6) months after the date of separation from service.  If an amount is to be paid under this Agreement in two (2) or more installments, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.

10.2.3              The parties hereto agree that they shall take such actions as may be necessary and permissible under applicable law, regulation and guidance to amend or revise this Agreement in order to ensure that Section 409A(a)(1)(B) does not impose additional tax and interest on Executive on payments made pursuant to this Agreement.

11.                               Assignability.  Executive shall have no right to assign this Agreement or any of his rights or obligations hereunder to another party or parties.  The Company and the Bank may assign

19

this Agreement to any Person that acquires the Company or the Bank or a substantial portion of the operating assets of the Company or the Bank.  Upon any such assignment by the Company or the Bank, references in this Agreement to the Company or the Bank, as applicable, shall automatically be deemed to refer to such assignee instead of, or in addition to, the Company or the Bank, as appropriate in the context.  For the avoidance of doubt, assignment by the Company or the Bank shall not release the Company or the Bank of its obligations to Executive hereunder unless specifically agreed in writing by Executive.

12.                               Governing Law; Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland 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 to accept service of process at its address for notices and in the manner provided in Section 13 for the giving of notices in any such action or proceeding brought in any such court 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.

13.                               Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications required to be given or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be conclusively deemed to have been given as follows: (a) when hand delivered to the other party; (b) when received by facsimile at the facsimile number set forth below with a copy transmitted by e-mail to the e-mail address set forth below, provided, however, that any notice given by facsimile and e-mail  shall not be effective unless either (i) a duplicate copy of such facsimile and e-mail  notice is promptly given by depositing the same in a United States post office first-class postage prepaid and addressed to the applicable party as set forth below or (ii) the receiving party delivers a written confirmation of receipt for such notice either by facsimile or e-mail or by any other method permitted under this Section; or (c) when deposited in a United States post office with first-class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to the applicable party as set forth below; or (d) when deposited with a national overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the applicable party as set forth below with next-business-day delivery guaranteed; provided that the sending party receives a confirmation of delivery from the delivery service provider. Any notice given by facsimile shall be deemed received on the date on which notice is received except that if such notice is received after 5:00 p.m. (recipient’s time) or on a non-business day, notice shall be deemed given the next business day).  Any notice sent by United States mail shall be deemed given three (3) business days after the same has been deposited in the United States mail.  Any notice given by national overnight delivery service shall be deemed given on the first business day following deposit with such delivery service.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day that is a legal holiday in Wicomico County, Maryland.  The address of a party set forth below may be changed by that party by written notice to the other from time to time pursuant to this section.

20

14.                               Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains all of the agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the employment of Executive by the Bank, and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings related to the subject matter hereof.  No oral agreements or written correspondence shall be held to affect the provisions hereof.  No representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention has been made by either party that is not set forth in this Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention not so set forth.

15.                               Headings.  The Section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

17.                               Amendment; Waiver.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, modified, changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, modification, change, waiver,

21
