B.           The

Agreement”).


 


D.           The

AGREEMENT:


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual promises, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:


 


1.          Term.
This Agreement shall be for a period of one year from the date hereof and shall automatically renew for additional one-year
periods thereafter unless either party gives notice of termination to the other party on or before the expiration of the immediately
preceding term.


 


2.          Compensation;
Consultation.


 


a.           Except
as set forth in Section 2.d. below, upon Delvin’s termination of employment, following both a Change in Control and a Material
Adverse Change in Employment (provided the termination of employment occurs within one (1) year prior to or eighteen (18) months
following the Change in Control), the Company shall provide severance compensation and benefits as follows:


 


(1)         The
Company shall pay Delvin an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of Delvin’s men current base salary plus an amount equal
to the product of the average of each of the prior three years’ annual cash incentive as a percent of the applicable year’s
base salary and Delvin’s then current base salary. This amount shall be calculated as follows: 2 x then current base salary
plus 2 x (the average of each of the prior three years’ annual cash incentive as a percent of the applicable year’s
base salary x then current base salary); and 



    	Page 1.          FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT



    	 



    

 


(2)         The
Company shall, at its sole expense, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of termination provide Delvin with
medical, dental, disability and life insurance benefits equivalent to the benefit plans and programs available to Delvin through
the Company immediately prior to the date of termination.


 


b.           Amounts
payable pursuant to subsection (1) of Section 2.a. above shall be paid in one lump sum within 90 days of the termination and, if
Delvin is a “specified employee” as such term is defined in Section 409(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(“Code”), or any successor section (“Code Section 409(A)”), shall bear interest at the prime rate as published
in the Wall Street Journal in effect from time to time, commencing on the date of termination until such amounts shall be paid.
Delvin may exercise no discretion with respect to the timing of the payment within such 90 day period. Amounts payable under this
Section shall be the net of amounts required to be withheld under applicable law and amounts requested to be withheld by Delvin.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines that Delvin is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Code Section 409(A), and that, as a result of such status, any portion of the payment under this Agreement would be subject to
additional taxation, the Company will delay paying any payment or portion thereof until the earliest permissible date on which
payments may commence without triggering such additional taxation or penalty.


 


c.           If
any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause Delvin
to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409(A) or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder,
the Company shall, after consulting with Delvin, reform such provision to comply with Code Section 409(A); provided that the Company
agrees to make only such changes as are necessary to bring such provisions into compliance with Code Section 409(A) and to maintain,
to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to Delvin of the applicable provision without violating
the provisions of Code Section 409(A).


 


d.           Upon
Delvin’s termination for Cause or due to death or Disability, or voluntary or involuntary termination under any circumstances other
than those described in Section 2.a., Delvin shall not be entitled to the compensation and benefits described in this Section 2.


 


e.           
Notwithstanding the above, if it is determined, in the opinion of the Company’s independent accountants, in consultation,
if necessary, with the Company’s independent legal counsel, that any amount paid under this Agreement due to a Change in
Control, either separately or in conjunction with any other payments, benefits and entitlements received by Delvin in respect
of a Change in Control under any other plan or agreement under which Delvin participates or to which he is a party, would constitute
an “Excess Parachute Payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and thereby be subject to the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then in such event the Company shall pay to Delvin
a “grossing-up” amount equal to the amount of such Excise Tax. The amount will include all federal and state income
taxes with respect to the payment of the amount of such Excise Tax. Any additional Excise Tax or other tax amounts that result
from the Company providing this “grossing-up” amount will be the responsibility of Delvin and will not be paid by
the Company. The highest marginal tax rate applicable to the individual at the time of thepayment of such amounts will be used
for purposes of determining the federal and state income taxes with respect thereto. The Company shall withhold from any amounts
paid under this Agreement the amount of any Excise Tax or other federal, state or local taxes then required to be withheld with
respect to the amount paid hereunder. Computations of the amount of any grossing-up supplemental compensation paid under this
subparagraph shall be conclusively made by the Company’s independent accountants, in consultation, if necessary, with the
Company’s independent legal counsel. If, after Delvin receives any gross-up payments or other amount pursuant to this Section
2.e, Delvin receives any refund with respect to the Excise Tax, Delvin shall promptly pay the Company the amount of such refund
within ten (10) days of receipt by Delvin.

f.            In
the event Delvin’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 1, by written agreement of the parties, or by resignation
of Delvin, then Delvin shall provide up to 120 hours of consulting services to the Company within the first ninety (90)
days following such termination concerning matters associated with the operation of the Company’s business. Delvin shall
keep the Company informed of his availability to perform the consulting services required under this Agreement, which services
shall be performed at such times and such places as agreed to by the parties. Delvin shall be paid for the consulting services
at an hourly rate equal to his annual base salary at the time of termination divided by 2080 for each hour worked.

Exhibit A


 


WHEREAS, Bancorp has applied to participate
in the Troubled Assets Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) established by the Emergency

WHEREAS, the CPP requires financial institutions
from which the Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) is purchasing troubled assets through direct purchases to meet appropriate
standards for executive compensation; and


 


WHEREAS, the Company and Delvin agree to
the following additional agreements to comply with such requirements;


 


Now therefore, the following additional
agreements are incorporated into the First Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement:


 


1.          The
Company and Delvin agree that any bonus or incentive compensation paid to Delvin during the period that the Treasury holds an equity
or debt position in the Company acquired under the CPP shall be subject to recovery or “clawback” by the Company if such
payments were based on materially inaccurate financial statements and any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria.


 


2.          The
Company and Delvin agree that any payment that is a “golden parachute payment,” as such term in defined under 26 U.S.C.
280G, shall not be paid to executive during the period that the Treasury holds and equity or debt position acquired under the CPP.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall continue to apply following an acquisition of the Company by an unrelated acquirer
in an acquisition in any form until after the first anniversary following the acquisition.


 


3.          The
Company and Delvin agree to further amend the Agreement or take any additional action that is appropriate to comply with any restrictions
or limitations on compensation or other payments to Delvin required by any interim or final rules adopted in connection with the
implementation of the CPP.


 


4.          The
provisions contained in this Exhibit A shall only become effective upon participation by the Company in the CPP and if
this Amendment becomes effective it shall terminate when the Treasury no longer holds an equity or debt position acquired under
the CPP or as otherwise set forth in Section 2 of this Exhibit A.
