EXHIBIT 10

FORM OF CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND
CERTIN OF ITS OFFICERS FROM TIME TO TIME

AGREEMENT

          This Agreement entered into as of ___________, ____ by and between
CORUS BANKSHARES, Inc. (the “Company”), and _____________ (the “Executive”).

WITNESSETH THAT:

          WHEREAS, the Company considers it in the best interests of its
shareholders to foster the continuous employment of key management personnel,
and recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter
defined) might create uncertainty among management to the detriment of the
Company and its shareholders; and

          WHEREAS, to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the
Company, and encourage the continued attention and dedication of the Executive
to the Executive’s assigned duties without distraction arising from the
possibility of a Change in Control, the Company agrees that the Executive shall
receive the benefits set forth in this Agreement in the event of a Change in
Control, and the Company and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement
for the purpose of setting forth certain terms relating to the Executive’s
employment with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company (as hereinafter
defined);

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
set forth herein, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties as follows:

          1.  Term of Agreement.  The “Term” of this Agreement shall commence on
January 1, 2007 and shall continue through December 31, 2007.  However, if a
Change in Control occurs during the Term of this Agreement, as determined in
accordance with the preceding sentence, the Term of this Agreement shall
continue from the date of the Change in Control until the last day of the
Coverage Period following the date of the Change in Control or, if later, the
24-month anniversary of the date of the Change in Control.  The “Coverage
Period” shall be the period beginning on the date of the Change in Control and
ending on the ___-month anniversary of the Change in Control [Ranging from 18-36
months].

          2.  Employment after a Change in Control.  Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, if the Executive is in the employ of the Company
or any Affiliate on the date of a Change in Control, the Company hereby agrees
to continue the Executive in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate for the
period commencing on the date of the Change in Control and ending on the last
day of the Term of this Agreement (the “Employment Period”).  During the
Employment Period, the Executive shall perform such executive duties as shall be
reasonably assigned to him from time to time by the President of the Company
taking into consideration the needs of the Company and its Affiliates.  The
Executive agrees that during the Employment Period he shall devote his full
business time exclusively to the executive duties described herein and perform
such duties faithfully and efficiently.  For purposes of this Agreement, an
“Affiliate” of the Company means any person or entity that controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          3.  Change in Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in
Control” shall occur on the date on which any individual, corporation or
partnership other than:

(a)

a trustee or other fiduciary of securities held under an employee benefit plan
of the Company;

 

 

(b)

a corporation, partnership, or trust owned, directly or indirectly, by the
stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of the Company;

 

 

(c)

any person in which the Executive, directly or indirectly, has a 10% or greater
equity interest;

 

 

(d)

any person who is a beneficial owner of 5% or more of the total voting power of
the Company’s outstanding stock on the date hereof;

 

 

(e)

any charitable foundation; or

 

 

(f)

any person obtaining an ownership interest by reason of a gift, devise or
inheritance

is or becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of stock of the
Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding stock.  A Change of Control shall also include: (1) any sale,
transfer, or disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;
or (2) any merger, consolidation, or other combination of the Company other
than: (a) a combination with an Affiliate of the Company; or (b) a combination
with any non-Affiliated company where the Company is the surviving business
entity after said combination.  In the event of an ambiguity as to whether a
Change of Control has occurred, it is understood and agreed by the parties
hereto that Robert J. Glickman, in his sole and absolute discretion, may make a
determination whether a Change of Control has taken place.

          4.  Compensation During the Employment Period.  During the Employment
Period, the Executive shall be compensated as follows:

(a)

he shall receive a monthly base salary which is not less than the monthly base
salary which was received in the month immediately prior to the commencement of
the Employment Period;

 

 

(b)

for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs, he shall be entitled
to a bonus which will be calculated in a manner consistent with the Company’s
practice with respect to the Executive prior to the Change in Control;

 

 

(c)

for fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the Change in Control
occurs, he shall be entitled to a bonus which will be calculated in a manner
that is comparable to the manner that is used for calculating the bonus for
other similarly situated employees of the Company; and

 

 

(d)

he shall be entitled to receive employee benefits (including, but not limited
to, tax-qualified pension and savings plan benefits, medical insurance,
disability income protection, life insurance coverage and death benefits) and
perquisites which are not materially less favorable to the Executive than the
employee benefits and perquisites provided to other similarly situated employees
of the Company from time to time after the Change in Control.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          5.  Termination of Employment.  In the event of the termination of the
Executive’s employment during the Employment Period, the Executive (or, in the
event of his death, his estate) shall be entitled to compensation in accordance
with the following:

(a)

Death.  The Executive’s employment shall automatically terminate upon his death,
in which case his estate shall be entitled to any unpaid salary earned by the
Executive through the date of his death.  Except as otherwise provided in any
incentive compensation or employee benefit program, no other compensation shall
be payable after the date of the Executive’s death.

 

 

(b)

Termination for Cause.  The Company or any Affiliate may terminate the
Executive’s employment hereunder at any time for Cause.  For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean:

 

 

 

(i)  the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform
his duties to the Company or its Affiliates within a reasonable period of time
after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive
by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which demand specifically identifies
the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer believes that the Executive has
not substantially performed his duties;

 

 

 

(ii)  the Executive’s engaging in a criminal act related to his employment for
which he is convicted;

 

 

 

(iii)  the removal of the Executive from his position with the Company or any of
its Affiliates by bank regulators; or

 

 

 

(iv)  the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct which is demonstrably and
materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; or the engaging by
the Executive in egregious misconduct involving serious moral turpitude to the
extent that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, the
Executive’s credibility and reputation no longer conform to the standard of the
Company’s executives.

 

 

 

For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s
part shall be deemed “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 Company and its Affiliates. 
In the event of the Executive’s termination for Cause, the Executive shall be
entitled to any unpaid salary earned prior to the date of his termination of
employment.  Except as otherwise provided in any incentive compensation or
employee benefit program, no other compensation shall be payable to the
Executive after the date of his termination of employment.

Page 3 of 12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)

Termination by the Company Other than For Cause and Termination by Executive For
Good Reason.  The Company or any Affiliate may terminate the Executive’s
employment at any time during the Employment Period for any reason other than
Cause.  The Executive may terminate his employment at any time during the
Employment Period for Good Reason (as defined below).  In either such event, and
subject to the following provisions of this paragraph (c), the Company or an
Affiliate shall pay the Executive the base salary to which he is then entitled
through the date of his termination and shall pay him an additional amount in a
lump sum payment within 30 days of such termination of employment equal to the
sum of:

 

 

 

(i)  An amount equal to the Executive’s base salary (at the rate in effect
immediately prior to his termination of employment) for __ months [Ranging from
18 to 36 months].

 

 

 

(ii)  The amount of any bonus paid (or that would have been paid in the absence
of deferral) to the Executive for the year preceding the year in which the
Change of Control occurs, subject to a pro-rata reduction to reflect the portion
of the bonus performance period following the Executive’s termination of
employment.

 

 

 

In no event, however, shall the Executive be entitled to receive the amount
described under paragraph (i) above unless he executes a release of claims
against the Company and affiliated persons in the form set forth as Exhibit A
(the “Release”).  To the extent that payment under this paragraph (c) or
paragraph (d) is conditioned on the Executive’s execution of a Release, no such
payment will be made to the extent that any portion of such Release is subject
to the seven-day revocation period prescribed by the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act, as amended, or to any similar revocation period in effect on the
date of termination of the Executive’s employment unless such revocation period
has expired without such revocation occurring.

 

 

 

The Executive’s entitlement to benefits and options under any incentive or
deferred compensation or other employee benefit programs in which the Executive
participates shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such programs
for officer/employee termination.

 

 

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” means:

 

 

 

(I)  any failure by the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement
relating to compensation and benefits, other than an insubstantial and
inadvertent failure remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice
thereof given by the Executive; or

 

 

 

(II)  the relocation of the Executive’s principal job location to a location,
other than the Company’s headquarters on the date of the Change in Control,
which is more than 35 miles from his principal job location on the date of the
Change in Control.

Page 4 of 12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)

Termination by the Executive Other Than For Good Reason.  The Executive may
terminate his employment at any time during the Employment Period for any reason
other than Good Reason, in which case the Company or an Affiliate shall pay the
Executive the base salary to which he is entitled through the date of his
termination of employment.  If such termination of employment occurs during the
30-day period beginning on the first anniversary of the Change in Control, and
subject to the following provisions of this paragraph (d), the Company or an
Affiliate shall pay the Executive an additional amount in a lump sum payment
within 30 days of such termination of employment equal to the Executive’s base
salary (at the rate in effect immediately prior to his termination of
employment) for __ months [Ranging from 9 to 18 months].  In no event, however,
shall the Executive be entitled to receive the amount described in the preceding
sentence unless he executes a Release, nor shall the Executive be entitled to
receive the amount described in the preceding sentence if, immediately prior to
at the time of his termination of employment, the Company or an Affiliate could
have terminated his employment for Cause.  The Executive’s entitlement to
benefits and options under any incentive or deferred compensation or other
employee benefit programs in which the Executive participates shall be
determined in accordance with the terms of such programs for officer/employee
termination.

 

 

(e)

Termination for Disability.  The Company or any Affiliate may terminate the
Executive’s employment during any period in which he is Disabled.  The Executive
shall be considered “Disabled” during any period in which he has a physical or
mental disability which renders him incapable, after reasonable accommodation,
of performing his duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Executive shall not be considered to be “Disabled” unless (i) for a period of no
less than 120 consecutive days, the Executive, as a result of a physical or
mental disability, is incapable, after reasonable accommodation, of performing
any essential functions of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement; and (ii)
at the Executive’s termination of employment, the Executive will immediately
begin receiving long term disability benefits totaling no less than 60% of the
Executive’s salary (as such was immediately prior to termination) under the
Company’s long-term disability plan or another arrangement providing
substantially similar benefits.  In the event of a dispute as to whether the
Executive is Disabled, the Company may refer the same to a licensed practicing
physician mutually agreeable to the Company and Executive, and the Executive
agrees to submit to such tests and examinations as such physician shall deem
appropriate.  During the period in which the Executive is Disabled, the Company
may appoint a temporary replacement to assume the Executive’s responsibilities.

 

 

 

In the event of the Executive’s termination of employment by reason of being
Disabled, the Executive shall be entitled to any unpaid salary earned prior to
the date of his termination of employment.  The Executive’s entitlement to
benefits and options under any incentive or deferred compensation or other
employee benefit programs in which the Executive participates shall be
determined in accordance with the terms of such programs for officer/employee
termination.  Except as otherwise provided in any such program, no other
compensation shall be payable to the Executive after the date of his termination
of employment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          6.  Tax Limitations.  If any payments under this Agreement, after
taking into account all other payments to which the Executive is entitled from
the Company, or any Affiliate thereof, are more likely than not to result in a
loss of a deduction to the Company by reason of section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 or any successor provision to that section, such payments
shall be reduced to the extent required to avoid such loss of deduction.  The
Executive shall be entitled to select the order in which payments are to be
reduced in accordance with the preceding sentence.

          If requested by the Executive, the Company shall provide complete
compensation and tax data on a timely basis to the Executive and to an
accounting or law firm designated by the Executive in order to enable the
Executive to determine the extent to which payments from the Company and its
Affiliates may result in a loss of a deduction, and the Company shall reimburse
the Executive for any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Executive for
such purpose.  If the Executive and the Company shall disagree as to whether a
payment under this Agreement is more likely than not to result in the loss of a
deduction, the matter shall be resolved by an opinion of tax counsel chosen by
the Company’s independent auditors.  The Company shall pay the fees and expenses
of such counsel, and shall make available such information as may be reasonably
requested by such counsel to prepare the opinion.

          If, by reason of the limitations of this paragraph 6, the maximum
amount payable to the Executive under paragraph 5 above cannot be determined
prior to the due date for such payment, the Company or an Affiliate shall pay on
the due date the minimum amount which it in good faith determines to be payable
and shall pay the remaining amount, with interest at a rate, compounded
semi-annually, equal to 120% of the applicable Federal rate determined under
section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as soon as such remaining
amount is determined in accordance with this paragraph 6.

          7.  Proprietary Information.  Except as may be required by the lawful
order of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction or in connection with his
good faith performance of duties for the Company or its Affiliates, the
Executive agrees to keep secret and confidential indefinitely and not to
disclose to any other person, firm or other entity, or to use in any way, any
Proprietary Information of the Company or its Affiliates which is acquired by or
disclosed to the Executive during the course of his employment with the
Company.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” means any
non-public, proprietary information concerning the Company or its Affiliates,
including, without limitation, any non-public, proprietary information
concerning their respective customers, business relationships, business plans
and strategies, marketing techniques, pricing policies or other information
which gives or may give the Company or any Affiliate an advantage in the
marketplace against its competitors.

          8.  Non-Solicitation of Customers or Employees.  During the term of
the Executive’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate and for a period of
two years after the termination of such employment for any reason, the Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, as an officer, employee, consultant, agent,
partner, joint venturer or owner of any other person, firm or other entity which
is engaged in any business which is competitive with the business of the Company
or any of its Affiliates, (a) initiate contact with, solicit or cause the
solicitation of any current, former or prospective customer of the Company or
any Affiliate with which the Executive had direct or indirect contact as an
employee of the Company during the eighteen month period preceding the
Executive’s termination of employment with the Company or any Affiliate or
regarding which the Executive has Proprietary Information or (b) contact,
solicit or cause the solicitation of any employee of the Company or any
Affiliate the product of which is intended or likely to yield a termination of,
or otherwise materially adversely affect, the relationship of such employee with
the Company or any Affiliate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions
contained in this Section 8 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect
upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, regardless of whether such Change in
Control occurs prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment with the
Company or an Affiliate or following such termination and during the period such
restrictions would otherwise be applicable.

Page 6 of 12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          9.  Remedies.  The Executive acknowledges that compliance with the
provisions of paragraphs 7 and 8 hereof is necessary to protect the business and
goodwill of the Company and its Affiliates and that the Company and/or its
Affiliates would be irreparably injured by a breach of paragraphs 7 or 8 and
that money damages may not be an adequate remedy therefor.  Consequently, the
Executive agrees that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available
to it, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages, shall be entitled
to an injunction restraining the Executive from any actual or threatened breach
of paragraphs 7 or 8 or to any other appropriate equitable remedy, without any
bond or other security being required.

          10.  Assistance with Claims.  The Executive agrees that for a
reasonable period after the Executive’s termination of employment, the Executive
will provide a reasonable level of assistance to the Company and the Affiliates
in the defense of any claims that may be made against the Company and the
Affiliates, and will provide a reasonable level of assistance to the Company and
the Affiliates in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Company
or the Affiliates, to the extent that such claims may relate to services
performed by the Executive for the Company and the Affiliates.  The Executive
agrees to promptly inform the Company if he becomes aware of any lawsuits
involving such claims that may be filed against the Company or any Affiliate. 
The Company agrees to provide legal counsel to the Executive in connection with
such assistance (to the extent legally permitted), and to reimburse the
Executive for all of the Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
associated with such assistance, including travel expenses.  The Executive also
agrees, except as prohibited by law, to promptly inform the Company if he is
asked to assist in any investigation of the Company or the Affiliates (or their
actions) that may relate to services performed by the Executive for the Company
or the Affiliates, regardless of whether a lawsuit has then been filed against
the Company or the Affiliates with respect to such investigation.  The Company
agrees that, in requesting and/or scheduling any assistance from the Executive
pursuant to this paragraph 10, it will reasonably accommodate Executive’s
professional or personal duties, obligations or commitments.  The Company
further agrees that, to the extent that the Executive is involved in or subject
to any claims, the Executive will be protected by the indemnification provisions
contained within the Company’s Bylaws or any such other indemnification
protections applicable to Company directors and/or officers at the time of the
claims.

          11.  No Current Right to Continued Employment.  The Executive
acknowledges that, except as provided herein with respect to the Executive’s
employment following a Change in Control, nothing contained in this Agreement
shall create any right of the Executive to continued employment with the Company
or any Affiliate prior to a Change in Control and, prior to such Change in
Control, the Executive shall be considered to be an “at will” employee.

Page 7 of 12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          12.  Notices.  Any notices, requests, demand and other communications
provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if sent by
registered or certified mail to the Executive at the last address he has filed
in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, to the attention of
the Secretary of the Company, at its principal executive offices.

          13.  Nonalienation.  The interests of the Executive under this
Agreement are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by
creditors of the Executive or the Executives beneficiary.

          14.  Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended or canceled only by
mutual agreement of the parties in writing.  So long as the Executive lives, no
person, other than the parties hereto, shall have any rights under or interest
in this Agreement or the subject matter hereof.

          15.  Applicable Law and Regulations.  The provisions of this Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without
regard to the conflict of law provisions of any state.  Any payment provided for
by this Agreement shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent required by any
applicable banking regulations.

          16.  Enforcement and Severability.  It is the intent and desire of the
parties that this Agreement, including paragraphs 7 and 8 hereof, be enforced to
the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies as applied in
each jurisdiction in which enforcement of this Agreement is sought.  If any
provision of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be amended,
without any action on the part of either party hereto, to delete or modify, as
appropriate, the portion thereof determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such
deletion or modification to apply only with respect to the operation of this
Agreement in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. 
Furthermore, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or of any provision
of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

          17.  Waiver of Breach.  No waiver by either party of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement by the other party, or of compliance with any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party,
will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other
party or any similar or dissimilar provisions and conditions at the same or any
prior or subsequent time.  The failure of either party hereto to take any action
by reason of such breach will not deprive such party of the right to take action
at any time while such breach continues.

          18.  Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon any person
acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise,
all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business.

Page 8 of 12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          19.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, any one of which shall be deemed the original without reference to
the others.

          20.  Previous Agreements.  This Agreement supersedes any and all
previous Change in Control Employment Agreements between the parties.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Agreement as of
the day and year first above written.

have, to the extent that it is derived from a Claim which the Executive may
have), against the Company Releasees based upon or arising out of any matter or

determined in accordance with the terms of such programs for officer/employee
termination.”
