a.

	
Merger. A merger into or consolidation with another corporation, or merger of another corporation into Bank of Bancorp, and as a result less than 50% of the combined voting power of the resulting corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation is held by persons who were stockholders of the Bank or Bancorp immediately before the merger or consolidation;

	
b.

	
Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership.  One person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of Bank or Bancorp (this constitutes acquisition of "Effective Control"). No Change of Control shall occur if additional voting shares are acquired by a person or persons who possessed Effective Control prior to acquiring additional shares. This subpart (b) shall not apply to beneficial ownership of voting shares held in a fiduciary capacity by an entity of which Bank or Bancorp directly or indirectly beneficially owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting securities, or voting shares held by an employee benefit plan maintained for the benefit of the Bank's employees.

d.

	
Bancorp.  A Change of Control shall only occur with respect to Bancorp if Bancorp (i) is a majority shareholder of the Bank; (ii) is a majority shareholder of any corporation in a chain of corporations in which each corporation is a majority shareholder of another corporation in the chain, ending in the Bank; or (iii) is otherwise a "Relevant Corporation" as that term is used and defined in Internal Revenue Code ("Code") Section 409A ("Section 409A"). For purposes of this section, majority shareholder means a shareholder owning more than 50% of the total fair market value and total voting power of the Bank, Bancorp, or a corporation in the chain referenced

above. No Change of Control shall occur unless the event constitutes a "Change of Ownership of a Corporation" or a "Change in the Effective Control of a Corporation" as defined under Section 409A.

	
2.

	
Resignation due to Change of Control. The Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 3 of this Agreement if the Executive resigns within six (6) months following a Change in Control in response to one or more of the following events, occurring after the Change in Control; (i) a material diminution in the Executive's base compensation; (ii) a material diminution in the Executive's authority, duties, or responsibilities; (iii) a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom the Executive is required to report, including a requirement that the Executive report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Board;

(iv) a material diminution in the budget over which the Executive retains authority; or (v) a material change in geographic location at which the Executive must perform services. In the event of Executive's resignation, Executive's employment will be deemed to have been involuntarily terminated under Section 3 of this Agreement only if Executive delivers written notice of one or more conditions described above to the employer at least thirty (30) days prior to ·resignation and the employer does not remedy the conditions within thirty (30) days after notice is received.

	
3.

	
Involuntary Termination.

200% of the sum of (i) Executive's annual base salary as in effect on the date of the Change of Control and (ii) the average of the annual bonuses awarded to Executive by the Bank for the most recent three (3) consecutive years prior to the date of the Change of Control,

	
ii.

	
Any incentive compensation earned but not yet paid,

For a period up to the first twelve (12) months of continuation coverage, the Bank shall pay the same portion of group insurance premiums for the Executive's continued

overage as is paid for other executives who are current employees. If the Executive becomes eligible for comparable group insurance coverage in connection with new employment, the Bank shall no longer be responsible for the cost of continuation coverage. Beginning with the thirteenth (13) month of continuation coverage, coverage may be continued at the Executive's own expense.
