Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 19, 2013, Access National Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Access National Corporation (the “Company”), and each of the following Executives mutually agreed to amend each Executive’s existing employment agreement:  Michael W. Clarke, President and Chief Executive Officer (filed March 18, 2013 as Exhibit 10.13 to SEC Form 10-K); Robert C. Shoemaker, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer (filed March 18, 2013 as Exhibit 10.14 to SEC Form 10-K); Dean Hackemer, Senior Vice President of the Bank and President of Access National Mortgage, a division of the Bank (filed March 18, 2013 as Exhibit 10.15 to SEC Form 10-K); and Margaret M. Taylor, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (filed May 10, 2013 as Exhibit 10.16 to SEC Form 10-Q).  The amendments add a modified cutback provision to each Executive’s employment agreement to address the application of the requirements of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

Each amendment provides that, if Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code could apply to compensation to be paid under an Executive’s employment agreement in connection with a change in control in the ownership or control of the Bank, cash payments to the Executive shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that none of the Executive’s compensation shall be considered an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code (such reduction, the “280G Cutback”); provided, however, that no such reduction shall be made if the net economic benefit to the Executive of compensation to be paid in connection with a change in the ownership or control of the Bank is greater without giving effect to the 280G Cutback.

All other terms and conditions of the employment agreements remain the same.
