3. Non-Competition Fee.

3.1 Non-Compete Fee Upon Involuntary Separation by the Bank without Cause. In the event of Termination of Executive’s employment by the Bank without Cause, including without limitation, in the event of a Change in Control (both as defined in the Employment Agreement), or a resignation as provided in Section 9.2(b) or 9.3 of the Employment Agreement (collectively, “Separation”), and provided that Executive (a) signs and delivers to the Bank no later than twenty-one (21) days after the Termination Date (the “Submission Period”), (a) a General Release and Waiver in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Release”) and (b) the Certification required monthly in the form of Exhibit B pursuant to Section 3.4 of this Agreement, the Bank shall, with respect to a period of one (1) year following the date on which the Release is executed and delivered to the Bank, continue to pay Executive, monthly in arrears (on or before the last day of the month for the prior month), Executive’s Salary at the rate being paid as of the Termination Date, together with an additional amount equal to one-twelfth of the most recent annual cash bonus (incentive plan and discretionary), if any, for each month of the Restricted Period during which Executive remains in full compliance with the provisions of Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement. No payment shall be made (a) in the event Executive delivers timely the Waiver in the form of Exhibit C pursuant to Section 4.2 (b), (b) in respect of any bonus or other compensation paid other than in cash or (c) in the event of Termination with Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement). Nothing in this Agreement shall affect Executive’s eligibility for payments under Section 9.4 of the Employment Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein.

3.2 Failure to Sign General Release. Failure to sign and deliver timely the General Release and Waiver shall be deemed to be an election to waive all rights, benefits and obligations hereunder within the meaning of Section 4.2(b), and shall operate to extinguish this offer; such failure shall not, however, extinguish, avoid or in any way limit Executive’s obligations under the Employment Agreement, including Section 8.5 thereof.

3.3 Payment Timing. Notwithstanding the foregoing: if the twenty-one (21) day period in which Executive may deliver the Release begins in one calendar year and ends in the following calendar year, the date on which payments will commence under this Article 3 shall be in February of such following calendar year or, if later, the month following the date on which the Release is delivered to the Bank.

3.4 Reporting Obligation. As a condition to receipt of the payments provided in this Article, Executive shall (a) certify on a monthly basis, in writing, signed by Executive and delivered to the Bank not later than the 15th day of the month, that Executive has complied in full with the provisions of Section 4.1, and (b) report in detail all income or compensation of any kind (including without limitation property interests or rights to future remuneration) from employment or services rendered to any Person or entity, excluding the Bank, during the preceding month, all in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Certification”). If such Certification is not received in a timely fashion, on the first occurrence, the Bank shall provide written notice to Executive and an opportunity to cure the violation of this Section within ten days thereafter. If Executive fails to cure the reporting obligation to the Bank’s reasonable satisfaction within the specified time, or if the Certification is inaccurate or incomplete, Executive shall be deemed to be in violation of Section 4.1 without further notice or opportunity to cure.

3.5 Contingent Repayment Obligation. (a) In the event Executive breaches any provision of Article 4 of this Agreement, Executive’s entitlement to any payments payable pursuant to this Article 3, if and to the extent not yet paid, shall thereupon immediately cease and terminate as of the date of such breach, with Executive having the obligation to repay to the Bank any payments that were paid to him during the period of the breach, provided that the non-compete covenant under Section 4(b) remains in effect.

(b) If termination was initially not for Cause but the Bank thereafter determines in good faith that, during the Term, Executive had engaged in conduct that would have constituted Cause, Executive’s entitlement to any payments pursuant to this Article 3 shall terminate retroactively to the Termination Date, with Executive having the obligation to repay to the Bank all payments that were paid to him, and, upon the return of all such payments, said General Release and Waiver, and this Agreement shall be deemed rescinded and of no force or effect, provided that nothing herein shall extinguish, avoid or in any way limit Executive’s obligations under the Employment Agreement, including Section 8.5 thereof.

3.6 Payment Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3, any payment pursuant to this Article: (a) shall be subject to (i) any delay in payment or reduction required by Section 5.2 hereof, and (b) shall be subject to a set-off equal to the gross amount of any current or deferred compensation, including wages, salary, fees, benefits, tangible or intangible property or ownership rights or interests or other property rights, received by Executive or which he becomes entitled to receive in the future as remuneration for services to any Person, business or other entity as a result of, or in exchange for, any work or services performed, or any intellectual property conveyed by Executive, during the Restricted Period (“Remuneration”), provided that the foregoing provision shall in no way limit or impair Executive’s obligations or the Bank’s rights under Article 3 or Article 4 of this Agreement. Executive understands and agrees that the Bank’s set-off rights will accrue, and any set-off pursuant to this provision will be applied to any non-compete payments due (or previously paid or accrued), after the earlier of Executive’s receipt or accrual of Remuneration (the Set-off Date), and if Executive is not entitled to further payments under this Agreement, Executive agrees to refund the setoff amount in full to the Bank within fourteen (14 days) of Executive’s Certification reporting such remuneration or the Set-off Date, whichever is later.

4. Non-Competition.

4.1 (a) Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that, during the course of Executive’s employment, Executive 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 employees’ skills, knowledge, capabilities, performance, 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 generally made available to the public. Failure to ▇▇▇▇ any Confidential Information as confidential, proprietary or protected information shall not affect its status as Confidential Information. Executive further acknowledges that in the course of employment with the Bank, Executive has and will become familiar with and involved in all aspects of the business and operations of the Bank Entities, as well as with confidential information of or about third parties having business dealings with the Bank Entities, including without limitation customers and prospective customers, suppliers, business partners and affiliates of the Bank. Executive further acknowledges that Executive’s services have been and shall continue to be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Bank.

(b) Therefore, Executive hereby covenants and agrees that upon Separation and until the date one (1) year after the Termination Date (the “Restricted Period”), without the express written consent of the Board and/or the Chief Executive of the Bank (“CEO”) in their respective sole discretion: Executive will not (except for services performed for or on behalf of the Bank Entities), 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) engage in employment or provide services to any person or entity in return for remuneration or a right to remuneration of any kind, including but not limited to current or deferred compensation, wages, salary, fees, benefits, tangible or intangible property or ownership rights or interests or other property rights, whether paid or conveyed to Executive or promised in the future by any Person, business or other entity as a result of, or in exchange for, any work or services performed, or any intellectual property conveyed by Executive.

4.2. Exceptions; Waiver; Notice. (a) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, this Article 4 does not restrict Executive’s right to (i) provide services without remuneration to a not-for-profit entity; or (ii) own 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, provided that Executive’s total ownership constitutes less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding securities of such company and such acquisition does not violate: (A) the Code of Conduct or any other policy of the Bank, including any policy related to inside information; (B) any applicable securities law; or (C) any applicable standstill or other similar contractual obligation of the Bank.

(b) (i) The restrictions set forth in Section 4.1 shall not apply to Executive’s post-Termination employment or activities if Executive requests a waiver and receives the prior express written and informed consent of the Board or the CEO, subject to such limitations and restrictions as the Chairman of the Board or CEO may impose in his sole discretion. (ii) The payments set forth in Section 3.1 and the restrictions set forth in Section 4.1 shall not apply to Executive’s post-Termination employment or activities if Executive executes prior to the end of the Submission Period a waiver, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Waiver”), of all rights to receive payments pursuant to this Agreement and delivers such signed Waiver in accordance with the provisions hereof. Such Waiver shall not, however, extinguish, avoid or in any way limit Executive’s obligations under the Employment Agreement, including Section 8.5 thereof. Failure to execute and timely submit such a Waiver shall be deemed to be an election to waive participation under the Agreement and shall operate as a Waiver, and shall entitle the Bank to recoup any payments made.

(c) Except as to employment permitted in this Section, before Executive accepts employment with any other person or entity while any of Section 4.1 is in effect, Executive will provide the prospective employer with written notice of the provisions of Article 4 only [not the full Agreement] and will deliver a copy of the notice to the Bank.

4.3. Bank Right to Recovery. In the event of the breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this Article, the Bank shall be entitled, in addition to all other available rights and remedies, to recover amounts already paid under Section 3.1 of this Agreement and to withhold any or all of the amounts agreed to be paid to Executive under Section 3.1.

4.4. Reasonableness. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Article are founded on valuable consideration, including without limitation the non-compete fees contained in this Agreement, are reasonable in duration and scope and are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Bank Entities and their respective businesses, shareholders, directors, officers and employees. Executive further acknowledge that these covenants have a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Bank, that Executive considers the payments hereunder to be fair and adequate compensation for the covenants made by Executive, that he has sufficient assets and skills to earn a reasonable and satisfactory livelihood, and that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement will not unreasonably restrain Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Bank’s Confidential Information would provide significant value and unfair competitive advantages to any competitor on a nationwide basis and that a more limited duration or narrower geographic scope to the covenant would not sufficiently protect the Bank’s legitimate business interest in preserving the Confidential Information to which Executive has had access, given the national nature of financial services and the ability of other persons and entities to engage in competition with the Bank through electronic communications. Finally, Executive acknowledges that he fully understands the terms of this Agreement and has had an opportunity to consult with counsel of Executive’s own choosing if he elects to do so.

4.5 Judicial Modification. If any court of competent jurisdiction should determine that the duration, geographical area or scope of any provision or restriction set forth in this Article 4 exceeds the maximum duration, geographic area or scope that is reasonable and enforceable under applicable law, the parties agree that, to the extent then allowed under governing law, said provision shall automatically be modified and shall be deemed to extend only over the maximum duration, geographical area and/or scope as to which such provision or restriction said court determines to be valid and enforceable under applicable law, which determination the parties direct the court to make, and the parties agree to be bound by such modified provision or restriction.

5. Section 409A.

5.1 Avoidance of Imposition. 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 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.

5.2 Possible Delay in Payment(s). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” at the time of Executive’s “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 Executive’s 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.

5.3 Modification to Comply. 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 payments made pursuant to this Agreement.

6. Remedies. Executive understands and agrees that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for a breach by Executive of the provisions of Article 4 and that, in the event of any breach or threatened or attempted breach of any provision of Article 4 by Executive, 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 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. In the event of any litigation brought by either party to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such litigation.

7. Nondisclosure of this Agreement. The terms, conditions and fact of this Agreement are strictly confidential. From and after the date of execution of this Agreement, Executive agrees not to disclose, directly or indirectly, the existence of this Agreement or any of the terms and conditions herein to any Person except that Executive may disclose the existence of this Agreement or the terms and conditions herein to Executive’s immediate family, tax, financial or legal advisers, prospective employers (with whom Executive’s employment is not prohibited by Section 4.1), any taxing authority, or as required by law. If Executive is asked about the existence and/or terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive is permitted to state only that “the terms of my employment are a confidential matter that I am not able to disclose.” Executive acknowledges that the terms of this Section 7 are a material inducement for the Bank to enter into this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may disclose such information regarding this Agreement as may be disclosed by the Bank Entities in any document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Bank may disclose this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable.

8. Assignability. Executive shall have no right to assign this Agreement or any of Executive’s rights or obligations hereunder to another party or parties. The Bank may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to any Person that acquires a substantial portion of the operating assets of the Bank. Upon any such assignment by the Bank, references in this Agreement to the Bank shall automatically be deemed to refer to such assignee instead of, or in addition to, the Bank, as appropriate in the context.

9. 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 a court of the State of Maryland within ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County or in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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 10 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.

10. 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, provided, however, that any notice given by facsimile shall not be effective unless either (i) a duplicate copy of such facsimile 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 signed written confirmation of receipt for such notice either by facsimile 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 reasonably approved by the parties (Federal Express and DHL WorldWide Express being deemed approved by the parties), 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 Untied 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 Article.
