8.7                               Injunction. In the event of any breach or threatened or attempted breach of any provision of this Article 8 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

10

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.

8.8                               Reasonableness.

8.8.1                     Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Article 8 and, having done so, acknowledges that he fully understands them, that he has had an opportunity to consult with counsel of Executive’s own choosing regarding the meaning and effect of such provisions, at Executive’s election, and he agrees that the restrictions and agreements set forth in this Article 8 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of the Bank Entities and their respective businesses, shareholders, directors, officers and employees. Executive agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement will not impair or unreasonably restrain Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood.  Executive further acknowledges that the Executive’s services have been and shall continue to be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Bank.

8.8.2                     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 8 exceeds the maximum duration, geographic area or scope that is reasonable and enforceable under applicable law, the parties agree that 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.

8.9                               Additional  Obligations.

8.9.1                     Non-disparagement. Executive shall not during or after the Executive’s employment disparage any officers, directors, employees, business, products, or services of the Bank, except when compelled to do so in connection with a government investigation or judicial proceeding, or as otherwise may be required or protected by law.

8.9.2                     Cooperation.  During and after Executive’s employment, Executive shall fully cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Bank, including providing information, with regard to any matter that the Executive has knowledge of as a result of the Executive’s employment or prior employment with the Bank.  Executive further agrees to comply with any reasonable request by the Bank  to assist in relation to any investigation into any actual or potential irregularities, including without limitation assisting with any threatened or actual litigation concerning the Bank, giving statements/affidavits, meeting with legal and/or other professional advisors, and attending any legal hearing and giving evidence; provided that the Bank shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred by the Executive in giving such assistance.  Executive agrees to notify the Bank immediately if the Executive is contacted by any third parties for information or assistance with any matter concerning the Bank and agrees to co-operate the Bank with regard to responding to such requests.

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 Bancorp, or pursuant to which shares of Bancorp’s capital stock are converted into cash, securities of another Entity and/or other property, other than a transaction in

11

which the holders of Bancorp’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 assets of Bancorp, other than a transfer of assets to a related Person which is not treated as a change 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) 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 Bancorp representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of all outstanding securities of Bancorp entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of Bancorp (including, without limitation, any securities of Bancorp 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 Board of Directors of Bancorp are replaced by directors whose appointment or election was not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Bancorp in office prior to such appointment or election.

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 Bancorp, a “change in effective control” of Bancorp or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of Bancorp within the meaning of Section 409A, then such event shall not constitute a “Change in Control” hereunder.

9.2                               Change in Control Termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control Termination” means that while this Agreement is in effect:

(a)                                 Executive’s employment with the Bank is terminated without Cause (i) within one hundred twenty (120) days immediately prior to and in conjunction with a Change in Control or (ii) within twelve (12) months following consummation of a Change in Control; or

(b)                                 Within twelve (12) months following consummation of a Change in Control, Executive’s title, duties and or position have been materially reduced such that Executive is not in  comparable positions in the publicly traded holding company and in the bank (with materially comparable compensation, benefits, contractual terms and conditions and responsibilities and is located within twenty-five (25) miles of Executive’s primary worksite) to the position he held immediately prior to the Change in Control, and within thirty (30) days after notification of such reduction he notifies the Bank that he is terminating Executive’s employment due to such change in Executive’s employment unless such change is cured within thirty (30) days of such notice by providing him with a comparable position (including materially comparable compensation and benefits and is located within twenty-five (25) miles of Executive’s primary worksite).  If Executive’s employment is terminated under this Section, Executive’s last day of employment shall be mutually agreed to by Executive and the Bank, but shall be not more than sixty (60) days after such notice is given by Executive.

9.3                               [Intentionally Omitted]

9.4                               Change in Control Payment.  If there is a Change in Control Termination pursuant to Section 9.2 or Executive resigns after the Action Period pursuant to Section 9.3, Executive shall be paid a

12

lump-sum cash payment (the “Change Payment”) equal to 0.99 times (the “Multiplier”) the sum of (a) Executive’s Salary at the highest rate in effect during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding Executive’s Termination Date and (b) Executive’s cash bonus(es) paid in the most recent twelve (12) months, such Change Payment to be made to Executive on the date forty-five (45) days after the later of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that the Bank shall be relieved of its obligation to pay the Change Payment if Executive fails to sign and deliver to the Bank no later than twenty-one (21) days after the Termination Date a General Release and Waiver in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. To the extent the Executive’s Multiplier is 0.99 and during the Term Executive’s tenure with the Bank is five years or greater, the Multiplier shall change as of such anniversary and be 1.99 as of such date. In addition, and subject to the timely execution and delivery of the General Release and Waiver as aforesaid, Executive shall continue to receive for three (3) years after a Change in Control Termination the benefits provided above under Sections 5.7, 5.8.1 and 5.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.4, (y)any payment pursuant to this Section 9.4 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 and (z) shall not include any equity awards pursuant to Section 5.13 above or otherwise.

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), 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              Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Determining Firm determines that any portion of the Total Change in Control Payments would otherwise constitute a Parachute Payment, the amount payable to Executive shall automatically be reduced by the smallest amount necessary so that no portion of the Total Change in Control Payments will be a Parachute Payment.  If Total Change in Control Payments are to be paid in other than a lump sum, such reduction shall be applied in such order as the Executive designates, subject to the approval of Bank, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If, despite the foregoing sentence, a payment shall be made to Executive that would constitute a Parachute Payment, Executive shall have no right to retain such payment and, immediately upon being informed of the impropriety of such payment, Executive shall return such payment to the Bank or other Bank Entity that was the payer thereof, together with interest at the applicable federal rate determined pursuant to Section 1274(d) of the Code.

13

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 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 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.

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 payments made pursuant to this Agreement.

11.                               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.

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 a court of the State of Maryland 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 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, 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

14

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 Montgomery 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.

14.                               Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Non-Compete contain all of the agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the employment of Executive by the Bank, and supersede 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 or the Non-Compete, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention not so set forth. Not in limitation of the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes and replaces the Executive’s employment arrangement with the Bank in effect prior to the date hereof, except that Executive shall remain entitled to receive any compensation earned but not yet paid thereunder.

15.                               Headings.  The Article and 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.

16.                               Severability.  Should any part of this Agreement for any reason be declared or held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision or portion of such provision shall be deemed severed herefrom and such determination shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any remaining portion or provision of this Agreement, which remaining portions and provisions shall remain in force and effect as if this Agreement has been executed with the illegal, invalid or unenforceable portion thereof eliminated.

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

15

party against which enforcement of the amendment, modification, change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall not in any manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either party of the breach of any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement.

18.                               Gender and Number.  As used in this Agreement, the masculine, feminine and neuter gender, and the singular or plural number, shall each be deemed to include the other or others whenever the context so indicates.

19.                               Binding Effect.  This Agreement is and shall be binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the Bank, its successors and assigns, and Executive and Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, and personal and legal representatives.
