Executive further agrees that, unless required by law or specifically permitted by the Board in writing, he will not disclose to any person or entity, either during or subsequent to his employment, any of the above-mentioned information not generally known to the public, nor shall he use the information in any way other than for the benefit of the Bank and the Company.

11. Termination and Termination Pay . Subject to Section 12 of this Agreement, Executive or the Bank may terminate Executive’s employment under the following circumstances:

 

 

(a)

Death . Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate upon his death during the term of this Agreement, in which event Executive’s estate shall receive the compensation due to Executive through the last day of the calendar month in which his death occurred.

 

 

(b)

(c)

Disability .

 

 

(i)

The Board or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment after having determined Executive has suffered a Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means a physical or mental infirmity that impairs Executive’s ability to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement and results in Executive becoming eligible for long-term disability benefits under any long-term disability plans of the Bank or the Company (or, if no such benefits exist, that impairs Executive’s ability to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days). The Board, in good faith, shall determine whether or not Executive becomes and continues to be permanently disabled for purposes of this Agreement, based upon competent medical advice and other factors that the Board reasonably believes to be relevant. As a condition to any benefits, the Board may require Executive to submit to physical or mental evaluations and tests as the Board or its medical experts deem reasonably appropriate.

 

 

(ii)

In the event of his Disability, Executive shall no longer be obligated to perform services under this Agreement. The Bank will pay Executive, as Disability pay, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s bi-weekly rate of base salary in effect as of the date of his termination of employment due to Disability. The Bank will make Disability payments on a monthly basis commencing on the first day

of the month following the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment due to Disability and ending on the earlier of: (A) the date he returns to full-time employment at the Bank in the same capacity as he was employed prior to his termination for Disability; (B) his death; (C) his attainment of age 65; or (D) the date the Agreement would have expired had Executive’s employment not terminated by reason of Disability. The Bank will reduce Disability pay otherwise due to Executive under this provision by the amount of any short- or long-term disability benefits payable to Executive under any other disability programs sponsored by the Bank. In addition, during any period of Executive’s Disability, the Bank shall continue to provide Executive and his dependents, to the greatest extent possible, all benefits (including, without limitation, benefits under retirement plans and medical, dental and life insurance plans) provided to Executive and his dependents prior to his Disability, on the same terms as if Executive remained actively employed by the Bank.

 

 

(d)

Termination for Cause .

 

 

(i)

The board of directors of the Bank may, by written notice to Executive in the form and manner specified in this paragraph, immediately terminate Executive’s employment at any time, for “Cause”. Executive shall have no rights to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination for Cause, except for already vested benefits. Termination for “Cause” shall mean termination because of, in the good faith determination of the Board, Executive’s:

 

 

(1)

Personal dishonesty;

(3)

Willful misconduct;

(7)

Material breach by Executive of any provision of this Agreement.

 

 

(ii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s termination for Cause will not become effective unless the Bank has delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire membership of the board, at a meeting of the board called and held for the purpose of finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive to be heard before the board with counsel), Executive was guilty of the conduct described above and specifying the particulars of his conduct.

(e)

Voluntary Termination by Executive . In addition to his other rights to terminate employment under this Agreement, Executive may voluntarily terminate employment during the term of this Agreement upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the board.

(f)

Without Cause or With Good Reason .

 

 

(i)

In addition to termination pursuant to Sections 11(a) through 11(e), the Board, may, upon providing written notice to Executive, immediately terminate his employment at any time for a reason other than Cause (a termination “Without Cause”) and Executive may, upon providing written notice to the Board, terminate his employment under this Agreement for “Good Reason” as defined below (a termination “With Good Reason”).

 

 

(ii)

Subject to Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event of his termination of employment under this Section 11(f), Executive shall receive his base salary for the remaining term of the Agreement paid in one lump sum within ten (10) calendar days of his termination. Executive shall also receive, for the remaining term of the Agreement, the benefits he would have received under any retirement programs (whether tax-qualified or non-qualified) in which he participated prior to his termination (with the amount of benefits determined by reference to the benefits Executive received or which the Bank or Company accrued on his behalf during the twelve (12) months preceding his termination). Executive shall also continue to participate in any health (including medical and dental), life, disability or similar insurance coverage or benefit plans for the remaining term of the Agreement, upon terms no less favorable than the most favorable terms provided to senior executives of the Company and the Bank during such period.

 

 

(iii)

A material diminution in Executive’s Base Salary;

 

 

(3)

Relocation of Executive to a location outside a radius of 25 miles of the Bank’s Baltimore, Maryland office; or

(1)

Executive’s obligations under Section 10(c) of this Agreement will continue in effect; and

 

 

(2)

During the period ending on the first anniversary of Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall not serve as an officer, director or employee of any bank holding company, bank, savings bank, savings and loan holding company, mortgage company or other financial institution that offers products or services competing with those offered by the Bank from any office within thirty-five (35) miles from the main office or any branch of the Bank and, further, Executive shall not interfere with
