Exhibit 10.3




December __, 2008




[Name]

[Title]

[Address]




Dear [Name]:




[COMPANY] (the “Company”) anticipates entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Participation Agreement”), with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) that
provides for the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program (the
“CPP”). If the Company does not participate or ceases at any time to participate in the CPP, this
letter shall be of no further force and effect.



For the Company to participate in the CPP and as a condition to the closing of the investment
contemplated by the Participation Agreement, the Company is required to establish specified
standards for incentive compensation to its senior executive officers and to make changes to its
compensation arrangements. The requirements of this Agreement shall apply to you only for so long
as both (1) you are a Senior Executive Officer of the Company, and (2) any debt or equity
securities issued by the Company under the CPP are by held by Treasury (the “CPP Covered Period”).
To comply with these requirements, and in consideration of the benefits that you will receive as a
result of the Company’s participation in the CPP, you agree as follows:



(1) No Golden Parachute Payments. The Company is prohibiting any Golden Parachute
Payment to you during any CPP Covered Period. To the extent any event occurs during the CPP
Covered Period that would otherwise trigger a Golden Parachute Payment, you will be entitled to the
lesser of (i) your rights under the Benefit Plans (as defined below) and (ii) the maximum amount
allowed under Section 111(b)(2)(C) of EESA.



(2) Recovery of Bonus and Incentive Compensation. Any bonus and incentive
compensation paid to you during a CPP Covered Period is subject to recovery or “clawback” by the
Company if the payments were based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other
materially inaccurate performance metric criteria.



(3) Compensation Program Amendments. Each of the Company’s compensation, bonus,
incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements and agreements (including golden parachute,
severance and employment agreements) (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) with respect to you is hereby
amended to the extent necessary to give effect to provisions (1) and (2). This provision also
applies to any Benefit Plans with respect to you that are entered into after the date of this
letter agreement and during the CCP Covered Period. For reference, certain affected Benefit Plans
are set forth in Appendix A to this letter.


 


 









 





In addition, the Company is required to review its Benefit Plans to ensure that they do not
encourage senior executive officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value
of the Company. To the extent any such review requires revisions to any Benefit Plan with respect
to you, you and the Company agree to negotiate such changes promptly and in good faith.



(4) Definitions and Interpretation. This letter shall be interpreted as follows:




	 	•	 	“Senior executive officer” means the Company’s “senior executive officers”
as defined in subsection 111(b)(3) of EESA.






	 	•	 	“Golden parachute payment” is used with the same meaning as in
Section 111(b)(2)(C) of EESA.






	 	•	 	“EESA” means the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 as
implemented by guidance or regulation issued by the Department of the Treasury
and as published in the Federal Register on October 20, 2008, as in effect on
the date hereof.






	 	•	 	The term “Company” includes any entities treated as a single employer with
the Company under 31 C.F.R. § 30.1(b) (as in effect on the Closing Date). You
are also delivering a waiver pursuant to the Participation Agreement, and, as
between the Company and you, the term “employer” in that waiver will be deemed
to mean the Company as used in this letter.






	 	•	 	The term “CPP Covered Period” shall be limited by, and interpreted in a
manner consistent with, 31 C.F.R. § 30.11 (as in effect on the Closing Date).






	 	•	 	Provisions (1) and (2) of this letter are intended to, and will be
interpreted, administered and construed to, comply with Section 111 of EESA
(and, to the maximum extent consistent with the preceding, to permit operation
of the Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms before giving effect to
this letter).





(5) Miscellaneous. To the extent not subject to federal law, this letter will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This letter
may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original. A
signature transmitted by facsimile will be deemed an original signature.
