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,
2008 and shall continue through December 31, 2008. 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




 


Page 2 of 12









 






	(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.

	(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


 


Page 6 of 12









 





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.



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. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall be amended
prior to December 31, 2008, to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, such
amendment to be effective as of the effective date of this Agreement. 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.


 


Page 8 of 12









 





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.



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.
