SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN


 


THIS SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE
RETIREMENT PLAN (this “Agreement”) is made as of June 7, 2022 (the “Effective Date”),
by and among FVCBankcorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and William G. Byers (the “Executive”).


 


BACKGROUND:


 


In connection with the Company’s
employment of the Executive, and to incentivize the Executive to devote his full business time, attention and energies to the business
of the Company, the Company and Executive desire to enter into this Agreement to establish the terms and conditions of a nonqualified
supplemental executive retirement plan to be maintained by the Company on the Executive’s behalf.


 


AGREEMENT


 


In consideration of the mutual
promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:


 


1.          General
Terms and Conditions. Section 2 below describes the benefits available to the Executive, or the Executive’s
Beneficiary, upon the occurrence of certain events as described in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement; provided
the Executive remains in the Continuous Service of the Company from the Effective Date until the specified event. Except for any remaining
payments to be made to a Beneficiary upon the death of the Executive under Section 2(e), each benefit described in Section 2
is in lieu of any other benefit therein. No benefits under this Agreement shall be payable with respect to any event other than the
events described below and the benefits otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2 below are subject to the further limitations
in Section 2(g).


 


2.          Retirement
Benefits.


 


(a)          Normal
Retirement. If Executive remains in the Continuous Service of the Company until attaining at least Normal Retirement Age, then the
Company shall pay to Executive the Normal Retirement Benefit each year for ten (10) years. Payment of the Normal Retirement Benefit
shall begin on the first business day of the first calendar month immediately following the calendar month of Executive’s Separation
from Service following attainment of Normal Retirement Age, and be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly installments (without interest)
on the first day of each month thereafter until paid in full.


 


(b)          Termination
Prior to Normal Retirement Age and Other than Due to a Change in Control. If (i) Executive is involuntarily discharged by the
Company other than for Cause or resigns for any reason, in either case other than under circumstances pursuant to which Executive is
entitled to benefits under Subsections (a), (c) or (d), or (ii) Executive dies while in the employ of the Company, then
within thirty (30) days following the Executive’s Separation from Service or death, the Company shall pay to Executive or Executive’s
estate or beneficiary, as applicable, an amount equal to the Vested Accrual Balance (as of Executive’s Separation from Service
or death) in a lump sum.


 


(c)          Termination
Prior to Normal Retirement Age Due to a Change in Control. If Executive is involuntarily discharged by the Company other than for
Cause or resigns for Good Reason, in each case (i) within twelve (12) months after the effective date of the Change in Control and
(ii) before Executive’s attainment of Normal Retirement Age, death, or becoming Permanently Disabled, the Company shall pay
to Executive in a lump sum an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Accrual Balance (calculated as of the date of the Change in
Control) or (ii) Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00) within thirty (30) days following the date of such discharge
or resignation.


 






     


     


    

 


(d)          Disability.
If Executive becomes Permanently Disabled before any event described in Subsections (a), (b) or (c) above, then within
thirty (30) days following the date on which the Executive becomes Permanently Disabled, the Company shall pay to Executive in a lump
sum an amount equal to the Accrual Balance (as of the date Executive became Permanently Disabled).


 


(e)          Death.
If Executive dies after the occurrence of any event triggering the Executive’s entitlement to a benefit under Subsection (a) or
(c) above or, if applicable, on or after the benefit in Subsection (d) becomes payable, the Beneficiary of Executive
shall receive the amounts that otherwise would have been paid to Executive pursuant to such Subsection.


 


(f)          Forfeiture
of Benefits; Regulatory Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Company discharges the Executive
for Cause, no benefits shall be paid to Executive under this Agreement. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement are further
subject to its adherence to applicable state and federal banking regulations, rules, or statutes.


 


(g)          Temporary
Suspension Applicable to a Specified Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, if Executive
is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as of the date of Executive’s Separation from
Service with the Company other than by reason of death, payment of benefit amounts otherwise due shall be delayed to the extent necessary
under Code Section 409A until the earlier of six (6) months after Separation from Service or the date of Executive’s death,
as applicable. Any payments that are so delayed shall be paid in one lump sum in cash in the seventh (7th) month following
Executive’s Separation from Service or after the Executive’s death, if earlier.


 


3.          Amendment;
Termination. This Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Executive.
The Company may unilaterally amend the Agreement to conform with written directives to the Company to comply with legislative changes
or tax law, including, without limitation, Code Section 409A and any and all Treasury regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.
No amendment shall provide for or otherwise permit any acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under the Agreement in a manner
that would be prohibited under Code Section 409A. No waiver of any provision contained in this Agreement shall be effective unless
it is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 3,
the Company may elect to terminate this Agreement under any circumstances permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).
In any such event, the Company shall distribute to the Executive a benefit in a lump sum at the earliest date permitted under such Treasury
guidance. The amount of the benefit shall be determined as if the effective date of the termination of this Agreement constituted an involuntary
discharge by the Company other than for Cause within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control.


 


4.          ERISA
Provisions.


 


(a)          Plan
Administrator Duties. This Agreement shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”),
or such committee or person(s) as the Board of Directors shall appoint. The Board of Directors, (or its delegatee(s)) in its capacity
as the “administrator” of this Agreement for purposes of ERISA, shall have the discretion and authority to (i) make,
amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Agreement; and (ii) decide
or resolve any and all questions including interpretations of this Agreement, as may arise in connection with this Agreement. The decision
or action of the Board of Directors (or its delegatee) with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration,
interpretation and application of this Agreement and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive
and binding upon all persons having any interest in this Agreement. The “Named Fiduciary” under this Agreement is the Company.

(b)          Claims
Procedures.


 


(i)          Notice
of Denial.


 


(1)          If
Executive or a Beneficiary (a “claimant”) is denied a claim for benefits under this Agreement, the Claims Administrator
shall provide to the claimant written notice of the adverse benefit determination (whether such claim is denied in whole or in part) with
a reasonable period of time but no later than ninety (90) days after the Claims Administrator receives the claim. However, under special
circumstances (to be determined by the Claims Administrator), the Claims Administrator may extend the time for processing the claim to
a day no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Claims Administrator receives the claim. The claimant shall be notified in
writing within the initial ninety-day (90-day) period of the need to extend the time for review, the special circumstances requiring an
extension, and the date by which a decision is expected.


 


(2)          With
respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, the Claims Administrator shall provide to the claimant written
notice of the adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time but no later than forty-five (45) days after the Claims
Administrator receives the claim. This 45-day period may be extended up to thirty (30) days if an extension is necessary due to matters
beyond the control of the Claims Administrator (to be determined by the Claims Administrator) and the claimant is notified, prior to the
expiration of the initial 45-day period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Claims Administrator
expects to render a decision. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period, the Claims Administrator determines that, due
to matters beyond the control of the Claims Administrator (to be determined by the Claims Administrator), a decision cannot be rendered
within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for up to an additional thirty (30) days, provided
that the Claims Administrator notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial 30-day extension period, of the circumstances
requiring the extension and the date as of which the Claims Administrator expects to render a decision. In the case of any such extension,
the notice of extension shall also specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues
that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and the claimant shall have at least
forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information, if any.


 






    3

to be understood by the claimant (and with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, be provided in
a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner) and shall set forth:


 


(1)          the
specific reason or reasons for the denial;


 


(2)          specific

of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination
on review;


 


(5)          in
the case of a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled:

to the Claims Administrator of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant,
the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Claims Administrator in connection with a claimant’s
adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination, and a disability
determination regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Claims Administrator made by the Social Security Administration;


 


(B)          if
the adverse benefit determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation
of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Agreement to the claimant’s medical circumstances,
or a statement that such explanation will be provided free of charge upon request in writing;


 


(C)          the
specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Claims Administrator relied upon in making
the adverse determination, or, alternatively, a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria
of the Claims Administrator do not exist; and


 


(D)          a
statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents,

review that takes into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim,
without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination; and

the case of a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled:


 


i.          before
issuing an adverse benefit determination on review, providing the claimant, free of charge with any new or additional evidence considered,

the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond
prior to that date; and


 


ii.          before
issuing an adverse benefit determination on review based on a new or additional rationale, providing the claimant, free of charge, with
the rationale as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review
is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.


 


(iv)          Application

(1)          If
a claimant wishes a review of the decision denying his claim to benefits under this Agreement, other than a claim described in paragraph

(v)          Hearing.
Upon receiving such written application for review, the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary, as applicable, may schedule a hearing
for purposes of reviewing the claimant’s claim, which hearing shall take place not more than thirty (30) days from the date on
which the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary received such written application for review.


 


(vi)          Notice
of Hearing. At least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled hearing, the claimant and his representative designated in writing
by him, if any, shall receive written notice of the date, time, and place of such scheduled hearing. The claimant or his representative,
if any, may request that the hearing be rescheduled, for his convenience, on another reasonable date or at another reasonable time or
place.


 


(vii)          Counsel.
All claimants requesting a review of the decision denying their claim for benefits may employ counsel for purposes of the hearing.


 


(viii)          Decision
on Review. No later than sixty (60) days (forty-five (45) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently
Disabled) following the receipt of the written application for review, the Claims Administrator or the Appeals Fiduciary, as applicable,
shall submit its decision on the review in writing to the claimant involved and to his representative, if any, unless the Claims Administrator
or Appeals Fiduciary determines that special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing) require an extension of time, to a day
no later than one hundred twenty (120) days (ninety (90) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently
Disabled) after the date of receipt of the written application for review. If the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary determines
that the extension of time is required, the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary shall furnish to the claimant written notice of
the extension before the expiration of the initial sixty (60) day (forty-five (45) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive
being Permanently Disabled) period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the
date by which the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary expects to render its decision on review. In the case of a decision adverse
to the claimant, the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary shall provide to the claimant written notice of the denial. Any such notice
of an adverse benefit determination shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant (and with respect to a claim
for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner) and shall
include:


 


(1)          the
specific reason or reasons for the adverse benefit determination;


 


(2)          specific
references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the adverse benefit determination is based;

determination on review;


 


(5)          a

ERISA, including the calendar date on which the contractual limitations period expires for the claim;


 


(B)          a
discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: the views presented by the claimant
to the Claims Administrator of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant,
the views of medical or vocational professionals whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Claims Administrator in connection with a
claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the determination, and
a disability determination regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Claims Administrator made by the Social Security Administration;

or a statement that such explanation will be provided free of charge upon request; and


 


(D)          the
specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria that the Claims Administrator relied upon in making
the adverse determination, or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria do not exist.


 


The Claims Administrator has the discretionary
authority to determine all interpretative issues arising under this Agreement and the interpretations of the Claims Administrator shall
be final and binding upon Executive or any other party claiming benefits under this Agreement.


 


(ix)          Calculating
Time Periods. The period of time within which a benefit determination initially or on review is required to be made shall begin at
the time a claim or request for review is filed in accordance with the procedures of this Agreement, without regard to whether all the
information necessary to make a benefit determination accompanies the filing. In the event that a period of time is extended due to the
failure of a claimant to submit information necessary to decide a claim or review, the period for making the benefit determination shall
be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds
to the request for additional information.


 






    7 


     


    

 


(x)          Standards
for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Notices. With respect to any notices required to be provided in a culturally and linguistically
appropriate manner, the Claims Administrator shall provide (i) oral language services in the applicable non-English language (that
include answering questions in any applicable non-English language and providing assistance with filing claims in any applicable non-English
language), (ii) a statement in the applicable non-English language, prominently displayed on notices, explaining how to access language
services and (iii) notices in the applicable non-English language upon request. For this purpose, a non-English language is an applicable
non-English language if ten percent (10%) or more of the population residing in the county for which the notice is sent is literate only
in the same non-English language.


 


(xi)          Adjudication
of Disability Benefit Claims: Independence and Impartiality. All claims and appeals with respect to benefits due to Executive being
Permanently Disabled shall be adjudicated in a manner designed to ensure the independence and impartiality of the persons involved in
making the decision. Accordingly, decisions regarding hiring, compensation, termination, promotion, or other similar matters with respect
to any individual (such as a claims adjudicator or medical or vocational expert) shall not be based upon the likelihood that the individual
will support the denial of benefits.


 


(xii)          Exhaustion
of Administrative Remedies Available under this Agreement.


 


(1)          In
no event will Executive be entitled to challenge the Claims Administrator’s decision in court or any other proceeding unless and
until these claims procedures are exhausted. The Executive then shall have ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of the Claims Administrator’s
decision on appeal in which to file suit regarding a claim for benefits under this Agreement. If suit is not filed within such ninety
(90)-day period, it shall be forever barred.


 


(2)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, if the Claims Administrator or Appeals
Fiduciary, as applicable, fails to strictly adhere to all the applicable requirements hereunder, the claimant is deemed to have exhausted
the administrative remedies available under this Agreement, except as provided in the paragraph below with respect to de minimis violations.
If the claimant chooses to pursue remedies under Section 502(a) of ERISA under such circumstances, the claim or appeal is deemed
denied on review without the exercise of discretion by an appropriate fiduciary.


 


The administrative
remedies available under this Agreement will not be deemed exhausted based on de minimis violations that do not cause, and are not likely
to cause, prejudice or harm to the claimant, provided the Claims Administrator demonstrates that the violation was for good cause or due
to matters beyond the control of the Claims Administrator and that the violation occurred in the context of an ongoing, good faith exchange
of information between the Claims Administrator and the claimant. A violation shall not be de minimis if it is part of a pattern or practice
of violations by the Claims Administrator. The claimant may request a written explanation of the violation from the Claims Administrator,
and the Claims Administrator must provide such explanation within ten (10) days, including a specific description of its bases, if
any, for asserting that the violation should not cause the available administrative remedies to be deemed exhausted. If a court rejects
the claimant’s request for immediate review on the basis that the Claims Administrator met the standards for the de minimis exception
the claim shall be considered as refiled on appeal upon the Claims Administrator’s receipt of the court’s decision. Within
a reasonable time after the receipt of the decision, the Claims Administrator shall provide the claimant with notice of the resubmission.


 






    8 


     


    

 


(xiii)          Definitions.
For purposes of this Agreement’s claims procedures, the following words and phrases shall have the respective meanings set forth
below:


 


(1)          “Adverse
benefit determination” means any of the following: a denial, reduction or termination of, or a failure to provide or make payment
(in whole or in part) for, a benefit, including any such denial, reduction, termination or failure to provide or make payment that is
based on a determination of a claimant’s eligibility to participate in a plan and with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive
being Permanently Disabled, shall also mean any rescission of disability coverage with respect to a Participant or Beneficiary (whether
or not there is an adverse effect on any particular benefit at that time), where rescission means a cancellation or discontinuance of
coverage that has retroactive effect, except to the extent it is attributable to a failure to timely pay required premiums or contributions
towards the cost of coverage.


 


(2)          “Appeals
Fiduciary” means an individual or group of individuals appointed by the Claims Administrator to review appeals of claims for benefits
payable due to the Executive being Permanently Disabled made pursuant to this Section 4(b).


 


(3)          “Claims
Administrator” means the Board of Directors or such other person designated by the Board of Directors from time to time and named
by notice to Executive.


 


(4)          A
document, record, or other information shall be considered “relevant” to a claimant’s claim if such document, record
or other information (A) was relied upon in making the benefit determination, (B) was submitted, considered, or generated in
the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such document, record or other information was relied upon in
making the benefit determination, (C) demonstrates compliance with the administrative processes and safeguards required in making
the benefit determination, or (D) in the case of a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, constitutes a
statement of policy or guidance with respect to this Agreement concerning the denied treatment option or benefit for the claimant’s
diagnosis, without regard to whether such advice or statement was relied upon in making the benefit determination.


 


(xiv)          Person
Authorized to Act on Behalf of Claimant. The Claims Administrator may establish reasonable procedures to permit an authorized person
to act on behalf of the claimant (and for determining whether a person has been authorized to act on behalf of a claimant).


 






    9 


     


    

 


5.          
Funding by Company.


 


(a)          The
benefit obligations of the Company set forth herein constitute an unfunded retirement arrangement, the obligations under which shall be
reflected on the general ledger of the Company (the “Retirement Liability”). The general corporate funds of
the Company shall be the sole source of payment of the Retirement Liability. The Company shall be under no obligation to set aside, earmark
or otherwise segregate any funds with which to pay the Retirement Liability. Executive and Executive’s Beneficiary or any successor
in interest shall be and shall remain unsecured general creditors of the Company with respect to the Retirement Liability. Executive and
Executive’s Beneficiary shall have no interest in any property of the Company or any other rights with respect thereto except to
the extent of the contractual right to the Retirement Liability represented by the obligations described in Section 2 of this
Agreement.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company has no obligation whatsoever to set aside assets, either directly or indirectly, in a trust
for purposes of paying the Retirement Liability under this Agreement. The Retirement Liability is not a deposit, is not otherwise funded
by the Company and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and does not constitute a trust account or any other special
obligation of the Company and does not have priority of payment over any other general obligations of the Company. If the Company determines
in its sole discretion to set aside assets in a grantor trust for the purpose of paying benefits under this Agreement, the grantor trust
shall not be located outside of the United States or subsequently transferred to any trust outside of the United States.


 


6.          Employment
of Executive; Other Agreements. The benefits provided for herein for Executive are supplemental retirement benefits and shall
not be deemed to modify, affect or limit any salary or salary increases, bonuses, profit sharing or any other type of compensation of
Executive in any manner whatsoever. No provision contained in this Agreement shall in any way affect, restrict or limit any existing employment
agreement between the Company and Executive, nor shall any provision or condition contained in this Agreement create specific employment
rights of Executive or limit the right of the Company to discharge Executive with or without cause.


 


7.          Withholding.


 


(a)          The
Executive is responsible for payment of all taxes applicable to compensation and benefits paid or provided to the Executive under this
Agreement, including federal and state income tax withholding, except the Company shall withhold any taxes that, in its reasonable judgment,
are required to be withheld, including but not limited to taxes owed under Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder and all employment
taxes due to be paid by the Company pursuant to Code Section 3121(v) and regulations promulgated thereunder (i.e., Federal
Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes on the present value of payments hereunder which are no longer subject
to vesting). The Company’s sole liability regarding taxes is to forward any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authority(ies).
By participating in this Agreement, the Executive consents to the deduction of all tax withholdings attributable to participation in this
Agreement from the benefits due under this Agreement or other payments due to the Executive by the Company to satisfy the employee-portion
of such obligations. If insufficient cash wages are available or if the Executive so desires, the Executive may remit payment in cash
for the withholding amounts.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, payments due under this Agreement may be accelerated to pay, where applicable,
the FICA tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a), and 3121(v)(2) and any state, local and foreign tax obligations (the “Tax
Obligations”) that may be imposed on amounts deferred pursuant to this Agreement prior to the time such amounts are paid
or made available and to pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 or the corresponding withholding provisions
of applicable state, local or foreign tax laws as a result of an accelerated payment of the Tax Obligations (the “Income Tax
Obligations”). Accelerated payments pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall not exceed the amount of the Tax
Obligations and Income Tax Obligations and shall be made as a payment directly to taxing authorities pursuant to the applicable withholding
provisions. Any accelerated payments pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall reduce the benefit otherwise payable to the
Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

8.          Arbitration;
Jury Trial Waiver.


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other subsequent written agreement between Executive and the Company, any controversy
or claim between Executive and the Company, or between the respective successors or assigns of either, or between Executive and any of
the Company’s officers, employees, agents or affiliated entities, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any representations,
negotiations, or discussions leading up to this Agreement or any relationship that results from any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, an alleged tort, breach of warranty or other legal theory (including claims of fraud, misrepresentation, suppression of material
fact, fraud in the inducement and breach of fiduciary obligation), and whether based on acts or omissions occurring or existing prior
to, at the time of, or after the execution of this Agreement and whether asserted as an original or amended claim, counterclaim, cross-claim
or otherwise, shall be settled by binding arbitration; provided, however, that resort to arbitration as provided in this Section 8
may only be had after exhaustion of the claims procedure described in Subsection 4(b) followed by mediation under the Commercial
Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Thereafter, arbitration of any unresolved claim shall be administered by
the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any dispute regarding whether a particular claim is subject to arbitration will be
decided by the arbitrator. Any court of competent jurisdiction may compel arbitration of claims pursuant to this Agreement.

fees and (if allowed by applicable law) attorneys’ fees. Otherwise, the parties will share equally the arbitrator’s fee and
travel expenses and administrative fees, and each party will bear its own expenses.


 


(c)          This
agreement to arbitrate disputes will survive the payment of all obligations under this Agreement and termination or performance of any
transactions contemplated hereby between Executive and the Company, and will continue in full force and effect unless Executive and the
Company otherwise expressly agrees in writing.


 


(d)          By
entering into this Agreement, Executive and the Company agree and acknowledge that:

agreeing to arbitrate disputes, Executive and the Company are giving up the right to trial in a court and THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY of

(iii)          in
some cases the arbitrator may be employed by, or may have worked closely with, a business in the same or a related type of business as
the business engaged in by Executive or the Company.


 


(e)          EXECUTIVE
AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES AND CLAIMS BY, BETWEEN OR AGAINST EXECUTIVE OR
THE COMPANY, WHETHER THE DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM IS SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION OR IS DECIDED BY A COURT.
