Exhibit 6.5
MIDDLETOWN VALLEY BANK
SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE
RETIREMENT PLAN AGREEMENT
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇.
THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is dated this 24th day of January, 2014 and is made effective as of the 8th day of January, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Middletown Valley Bank (the “Bank”), a Maryland state-chartered bank located in Middletown, Maryland and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. (the “Executive”), intending to be legally bound hereby.
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Agreement is to provide specified benefits to the Executive, a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of the Bank. This Agreement shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.
To encourage the Executive to remain an employee of the Bank, the Bank is willing to provide supplemental retirement benefits to the Executive. The Bank will pay the benefits from its general assets.
One purpose of this Agreement is to provide deferred compensation under federal tax law. As the new Section 409A of the Code impose new requirements to qualify for deferred compensation, this Agreement reflects those requirements and adds as a contingency those additional requirements in the event the Executive is deemed to be a key employee as that term is used in Section 409A of the Code.
The Executive consents to the Bank being the owner of certain life insurance policies in which the Executive is an insured. The Executive understands such Bank ownership may continue after the Executive is no longer an employee or director of the Bank and in certain circumstances for which the Executive no longer has any interest in those policies. The Executive understands that the Bank’s ownership in those policies generally funds employee benefits to all employees of the Bank.

Article 5
General Limitations
All benefits payable under this Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations:
5.1 Excess Parachute or Golden Parachute Payment. If the payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Bank, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code or would be a prohibited golden parachute payment pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.2 and for which the appropriate federal banking agency has not given written consent to pay pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.4, the payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced, in the manner determined solely by the Executive in the case of the application of Section 280G of the Code, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in (i) no portion of the payments and benefits under this Agreement being non-deductible to the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, and (ii) no adverse consequence to the Bank under or pursuant to such banking regulations. All benefits payable under this Agreement shall also be subject to limitations or prohibitions imposed by subsequent changes or amendments to the cited laws and regulations except to the extent that any benefits payable under this Agreement are grandfathered or otherwise exempt or excluded from the change or amendment.
5.2 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement, if the Bank terminates the Executive’s employment for cause. Termination of the Executive’s employment for “Cause” shall mean termination because of personal dishonesty by the Executive in the performance of his duties which results in demonstrable material injury to the Bank, willful misconduct by the Executive which remains uncured thirty (30) days following the giving of written notice thereof to the Executive, breach by the Executive of a fiduciary duty to the Bank involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties following the giving of written notice thereof to the Executive, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order or material breach of any provision of the Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank.
6
5.3 Removal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) or by the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation pursuant to state law.
5.4 Competition after Separation of Service. The Executive shall forfeit his right to any further benefits if the Executive, without the prior written consent of the Bank, violates any one of the following described restrictive covenants.
5.4.1 Restrictive Covenant.
| (i) | Non-Competition and Non Solicitation. Executive hereby acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of Bank and accordingly agrees that, for the applicable period set forth in Section 5.4.1(iii) hereof, Executive shall not: |
(a) be engaged, directly or indirectly either for his own account or as agent, consultant, employee, partner, officer, director, proprietor, investor (except as an investor owning less than 2% of the stock of a publicly owned company) or otherwise of any person, firm, corporation or enterprise engaged in (1) the banking or financial services industry, or (2) any other activity in which Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates are engaged during the term of Executive’s employment by Bank under the Employment Agreement within a fifty (50) mile radius of the principal place of business or any branch office of Bank (the “Non-Competition Area”); or
(b) provide financial or other assistance to any person, firm, corporation or enterprise engaged in (1) the banking or financial services industry or (2) any other activity in which Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is engaged during the term of the Employment Agreement in the Non-Competition Area; or
(c) directly or indirectly contact, solicit or induce any person, firm, corporation or other entity who or which is a customer or referral source of Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates during the term of the Employment Agreement or at the date of termination of Executive’s employment, to become a client, customer or referral service of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity; or
(d) directly or indirectly solicit, induce or encourage any employee of Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, who is employed during the term of the Employment Agreement or at the date of termination of Executive’s employment, to leave the employ of Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or to seek, obtain or accept employment with any person or entity other than Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
7
| (ii) | Amendment of Restrictive Covenant. It is expressly understood and agreed that, although Executive and Bank consider the restrictions contained in Section 5.4.1 reasonable for the purpose of preserving for Bank and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, their good will and other proprietary rights, if a final judicial determination is made by a court having jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in Section 5.4.1 is an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of Section 5.4.1 shall not be rendered void, but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such other extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable. |
| (iii) | Period of Restrictive Covenant. The provisions of this Section 5.4.1 shall be applicable, commencing on the date this Agreement is entered and ending twelve (12) months after the later of (1) the effective date of termination of Executive’s employment as a result of a Change in Control; (2) for the remaining term of the Employment Agreement in the event Executive is terminated by Bank other than for Death, Disability or Cause, or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, as defined in the Employment Agreement; or (3) twelve (12) months after Executive receives his last bi-Monthly payment pursuant to Section 14 of the Employment Agreement. |
| (iv) | Breach of Restrictive Covenant. It is expressly understood and agreed that if Executive violates or breaches any provision of this Section 5.4.1 as determined by a final, non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction, then the provisions of this Section 5.4.1 shall apply to Executive for an additional one (1) year following the date of such violation or breach. |
5.4.2 Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any provision of these restrictions, the Executive recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Bank, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Bank. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Executive acknowledgment that the Bank may seek ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Bank’s rights hereunder and preventing the Executive from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. The Executive expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that the Bank post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4.1 hereof are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded the Bank in Section 5.4.1 hereof are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4.1 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Executive’s employment with the Bank, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.
8
5.4.3 Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration.
5.4.4 Change in Control. The non-compete provision detailed in Section 5.4.1 hereof shall be enforceable following a Change in Control.
5.5 Suicide or Misstatement. No benefits shall be payable if the Executive commits suicide within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the insurance company denies coverage for material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on any application for life insurance purchased by the Bank.
