In the event of an Involuntary Termination, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to the following benefits:

(i) Eligible Employee’s Base Salary through the Termination Date not theretofore paid; (ii) any expenses owed to the Eligible Employee under the Company’s expense reimbursement policy; and (iii) any amount arising from the
Eligible Employee’s participation in, or benefits under, any employee benefit plans, which amounts shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such employee benefits plans (clauses (i)-(iii) collectively shall be the

Date. 
 (b)    Severance. Severance pay as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which amount shall be payable to the
Eligible Employee in twelve (12) equal monthly installments commencing on the date that is thirty (30) days following the Termination Date; provided, however, that if the Involuntary Termination occurs within (2) two years following a
Change in Control, payment will be made in a single lump sum on the date that is thirty days following the Termination Date, in each case, subject to the Eligible Employee’s General Release (as provided in Section 3(d) hereof) becoming
effective and irrevocable. 

  
 2 

 (c)    Equity Acceleration. In the event of an Involuntary
Termination that occurs within two (2) years following a Change in Control, all outstanding and unvested equity incentive awards previously granted to the Eligible Employee shall immediately vest in full, with performance-based awards vesting
based upon the assumption that the target level of performance has been achieved. 
 (d)     Release.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Eligible Employee shall be entitled to the payments and benefits provided for in this Section 3 (other than the Accrued Rights) if and only if the Eligible Employee executes and delivers to
the Company a general release of claims against the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “General Release”) within twenty-one (21) days following the Termination Date
(which General Release shall be provided to the Eligible Employee on or about the Termination Date) and the General Release has become effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, no payments shall be made to
any Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 3(b) until the date that is thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, at which time any installments that should have been paid prior to that date shall be paid in lump sum. 

 

	 	4.	 LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS 

(a)    Termination of Benefits. In the event an Eligible Employee, at any time, violates any proprietary information
of confidentiality obligation to the Company, any other obligations of the Eligible Employee under an employment or other agreement with the Company or any of the Company’s policies and procedures, (i) the Eligible Employee will be deemed
in material breach of this Policy and (ii) the Company will be relieved of any ongoing obligation to comply with any of the terms of this Policy, including without limitation the obligation to make the payments described in Sections 3 (other
than the Accrued Rights). 
 (b)    Non-Duplication of Benefits. No
Eligible Employee is eligible to receive benefits under the Policy more than one time. 
 (c)    Indebtedness of
Eligible Employees. If the Eligible Employee is indebted to the Company or an affiliate of the Company at his or her Termination Date, the Company reserves the right to offset any payments due under the Policy by the amount of such indebtedness.

  

	 	5.	 MISCELLANEOUS 

(a)    Exclusive Discretion. The Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof will have the exclusive
discretion and authority to establish rules, forms and procedures for the administration of the Policy and to construe and interpret the Policy and to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation, definition, computation or administration
arising in connection with the operation of the Policy, including, but not limited to, the eligibility to participate in the Policy and amount of benefits paid under the Policy. The rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the
administrator will be binding and conclusive on all persons. 

  
 3 

 (b)    Amendment or Termination. The Company may amend or
terminate the Policy at any time and from time to time prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control or at any time and from time to time more than two (2) years following a Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, this Policy may not be
amended in any manner during the two-year period following a Change in Control. Termination or amendment of the Policy shall not affect any obligation of the Company under the Policy which has accrued and is
unpaid as of the effective date of the termination or amendment (including, but not limited to, the obligation to make payments in respect of an Involuntary Termination that occurs prior to the effective date of the termination or amendment). 

(c)    No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Nothing herein shall confer upon an Eligible Employee any right
to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its affiliates and this Policy shall not be deemed a contract of employment. If an Eligible Employee’s employment terminates for any reason other than an Involuntary Termination, the
Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to any benefits, damages, awards or compensation under this Policy, but may be entitled to payments or benefits in accordance with the Company’s other established employee plans and practices or pursuant
to other agreements with the Company. 
 (d)    Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or
indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) or to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets will assume the obligations under the Policy and agree expressly to perform the
obligations under the Policy in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. The terms of the Policy and all rights of the Eligible Employee hereunder will inure
to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Eligible Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 

(e)    Notice. Any and all notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Policy shall be
in writing and shall be effective when delivered in person, consigned to a reputable national courier service or deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified, and addressed to the Eligible Employee at his or her last
known address on the books of the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its principal place of business, attention of the General Counsel or to such other address as any party may specify by notice to the other actually received. 

(f)    No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of the Policy on any occasion
shall not be considered a waiver of such party’s rights or to deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of the Policy. 

(g)    Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of the Policy shall be or become invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect or to any degree, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Policy shall not be affected thereby. The parties intend to give the terms of the Policy the fullest force and
effect so that is any provision shall be found to be invalid or unenforceable, the court reaching such conclusion may modify or interpret such provision in a manner that shall carry out the parties’ intent and shall be valid and enforceable.

  
 4 

 (h)    Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are inserted
for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof or to affect the meaning thereof. 

(i)    Creditor Status of Eligible Employees. In the event that any Eligible Employee acquires a right to receive
payments from the Company under the Policy such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 

(j)    Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under the Policy such federal, state
and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
 (k)    Section
409A Compliance. This Policy is intended to be interpreted and operated to the fullest extent possible so that the payments and benefits hereunder either shall be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code
(“Section 409A”) or shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, in no event shall the Company be liable to the Eligible Employee for or with
respect to any taxes, penalties or interest which may be imposed upon the Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 409A. To the extent that any payment or benefit pursuant to this Policy constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject
to Section 409A (after taking into account to the maximum extent possible any applicable exemptions) (a “409A Payment”) treated as payable upon a separation from service, then, if on the date of the Eligible Employee’s separation
from service, the Eligible Employee is a Specified Employee (as defined in Section 409A), then to the extent required for Eligible Employee not to incur additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A, no such 409A Payment shall be made to the
Eligible Employee sooner than the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the Eligible Employee’s separation from service; or (ii) the date of the Eligible Employee’s death. Should this paragraph result in payments or benefits
to the Eligible Employee at a later time than otherwise would have been made under this Policy, on the first day any such payments or benefits may be made without incurring additional tax pursuant to Section 409A (the “409A Payment
Date”), the Company shall make such payments and provide such benefits as provided for in this Policy, provided that any amounts that would have been payable earlier but for the application of this paragraph shall be paid in lump-sum on the 409A Payment Date.

DELMAR
BANCORP

 

6.000% FIXED TO FLOATING
RATE SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE JULY 1, 2030

 

1.           
Subordinated Notes. This subordinated note is one of an issue of notes of Delmar Bancorp, a Maryland corporation
(the “Company”), designated as the “6.000% Fixed to Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2030”
(the “Subordinated Notes”) issued pursuant to that Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date
upon which this Subordinated Note was originally issued (the “Issue Date”), between the Company and the one
or more purchasers of the Subordinated Notes identified in the signature pages thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

2.            
Payment. The Company, for value received, promises to pay to [•], or its registered assigns, the
principal sum of [•] Dollars (U.S.) ($[•]) plus accrued but unpaid interest on July 1, 2030 (the “Maturity
Date”) and to pay interest thereon (i) from and including the original issue date of the Subordinated Notes to but excluding
July 1, 2025 or the earlier redemption date contemplated by Section 4 (Redemption) of this Subordinated Note (the “Fixed
Rate Period”), at the rate of 6.000% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months
and payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year (each payment date, a “Fixed Interest Payment
Date”), beginning January 1, 2021, and (ii) from and including July 1, 2025 to but excluding the Maturity Date or earlier
redemption date contemplated by Section 4 (Redemption) of this Subordinated Note (the “Floating Rate Period”),
at the rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the Floating Interest Rate (as defined below) determined on the Floating Interest
Determination Date (as defined below) of the applicable interest period plus 590 basis points, computed on the basis of a 360-day
year and the actual number of days elapsed and payable quarterly in arrears (each quarterly period, a “Floating Interest
Period”) on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year (each payment date, a “Floating Interest
Payment Date”). Dollar amounts resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent
being rounded up. The term “Floating Interest Determination Date” means the date upon which the Floating Interest
Rate is determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined below) pursuant to the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions (as defined below).

 

(a)              
An “Interest Payment Date” is either a Fixed Interest Payment Date or a Floating Interest Payment Date,
as applicable.

 

(b)              
The “Floating Interest Rate” means:

 

(i)              
initially Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined below).

 

(ii)             
Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i) of this Section 2(b):

 

(1)              
If the Calculation Agent, reasonably determines in good faith prior to the relevant Floating Interest Determination Date
that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each of such terms as defined below) have occurred
with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR, then the Company shall promptly provide notice of such determination to the Noteholders
(as defined below) and Section 2(c) (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event) will thereafter apply to all determinations,
calculations and quotations made or obtained for the purposes of calculating the Floating Interest Rate payable on the Subordinated
Notes during a relevant Floating Interest Period.

 

    3

     

    

 

(2)               
However, if the Calculation Agent reasonably determines in good faith that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR, but for any reason the Benchmark Replacement has
not been determined as of the relevant Floating Interest Determination Date, the Floating Interest Rate for the applicable Floating
Interest Period will be equal to the Floating Interest Rate on the last Floating Interest Determination Date for the Subordinated
Notes, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

 

(iii)           
If the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR and any of the foregoing provisions concerning the calculation of
the interest rate and the payment of interest during the Floating Rate Period are inconsistent with any of the Three-Month Term
SOFR Conventions determined by the Company, then the relevant Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions will apply.

 

(c)              
Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

 

(i)            
If the Calculation Agent reasonably determines in good faith that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time (as defined below) in respect of any determination of the Benchmark
(as defined below) on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to
the Subordinated Notes during the relevant Floating Interest Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations
on all subsequent dates.

 

(ii)           
In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes from time to time, and such changes shall become effective without consent from the relevant Noteholders or
any other party.

 

(iii)          
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company or by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the benchmark
transition provisions set forth herein, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence
or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

 

(1)               
will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

 

(2)                
if made by the Company, will be made in the Company’s sole discretion;

 

(3)                
if made by the Calculation Agent, will be made after consultation with the Company, and the Calculation Agent will not make
any such determination, decision or election to which the Company reasonably objects; and

 

    4

     

    

 

(4)                
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subordinated Note or the Purchase Agreement, shall become effective without
consent from the relevant Noteholders or any other party.

 

(iv)         
For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred,
interest payable on this Subordinated Note for the Floating Rate Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the applicable
Benchmark Replacement and the spread specified on the face hereof.

 

(v)          
As used in this Subordinated Note, the following terms have the meanings as set forth below:

 

(1)           
“Benchmark” means, initially, Three-Month Term SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and
its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then
 “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

 

(2)          
“Benchmark Replacement” means the Interpolated Benchmark with respect to the then-current Benchmark;
provided that if (a) the Calculation Agent cannot determine the Interpolated Benchmark as of the Benchmark Replacement Date or
(b) the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement
Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR (in which event no Interpolated Benchmark with respect to Three-Month
Term SOFR shall be determined), then “Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order
below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent, as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

 

a.                  
The sum of (i) Compounded SOFR and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

 

b.                 
the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body
as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment;

 

c.                  
the sum of: (i) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

 

d.                 
the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company as the replacement for the then-current
Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement
for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment.

 

(3)         
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can
be determined by the Calculation Agent, as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

 

    5

     

    

 

a.                  
the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative
value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark
Replacement;

 

b.                  
if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

 

c.                  
the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Company giving due
consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for
the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar denominated
floating rate notes at such time.

 

(4)          
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical,
administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Floating Interest Period,” timing
and frequency of determining rates with respect to each Floating Interest Period and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts
or tenors and other administrative matters) that the Company reasonably decides in good faith may be appropriate to reflect the
adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company reasonably
decides in good faith that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Company reasonably
determines in good faith that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company
determines in good faith is reasonably necessary).

 

(5)          
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the
then-current Benchmark:

 

a.                  
in the case of clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the relevant Reference
Time in respect of any determination;

 

b.                  
in the case of clause (b) or (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,”
the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date
on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

 

c.                  
in the case of clause (d) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of such
public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

 

For the avoidance of
doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time
in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for
purposes of such determination.

feasible;

 

b.                  
a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such

there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental
Body for determining compounded SOFR; provided that:

 

b.                 
if, and to the extent that, the Company or its designee reasonably determines in good faith that Compounded SOFR cannot
be determined in accordance with clause (a) above, then the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for
this rate that have been selected by the Company or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted market practice
for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time.

		3.	Subordination.

 

(a)              
The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by this Subordinated Note, including the principal and interest on this Subordinated
Note, shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all existing claims of creditors of the
Company whether now outstanding or subsequently created, assumed, guaranteed or incurred (collectively, “Senior Indebtedness”),
which shall consist of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on: (i) all indebtedness and obligations of, or
guaranteed or assumed by, the Company for money borrowed, whether or not evidenced by bonds, debentures, securities, notes or other
similar instruments; (ii) any deferred obligations of the Company for the payment of the purchase price of property or assets acquired
other than in the ordinary course of business; (iii) all obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the Company in respect of any
letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, security purchase facilities and similar direct credit substitutes; (iv) any capital
lease obligations of the Company; (v) all obligations of the Company in respect of interest rate swap, cap or other agreements,
interest rate future or option contracts, currency swap agreements, currency future or option contracts, commodity contracts and
other similar arrangements or derivative products; (vi) all obligations that are similar to those in clauses (i) through (v) of
other Persons for the payment of which the Company is responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise arising from an
off-balance sheet guarantee; (vii) all obligations of the types referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) of other Persons secured
by a lien on any property or asset of the Company; and (viii) in the case of (i) through (vii) above, all amendments, renewals,
extensions, modifications and refundings of such indebtedness and obligations; except “Senior Indebtedness”
does not include (A) the Subordinated Notes, (B) any obligation that by its terms expressly is junior to, or ranks equally in right
of payment with, the Subordinated Notes, or (C) any indebtedness between the Company and any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates.
This Subordinated Note is not secured by any assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates. The term “Affiliate(s)”
means, with respect to any Person, such Person’s immediate family members, partners, members or parent and subsidiary corporations,
and any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with said Person and their respective
Affiliates. The term “Person” as used in this Subordinated Note means an individual, a corporation (whether
or not for profit), a partnership, a limited liability company, a joint venture, an association, a trust, an unincorporated organization,
a government or any department or agency thereof or any other entity or organization. The term “control” (including
the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,” and “under common control with”)
means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

 

(b)           
In the event of any liquidation of the Company, holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to be paid
in full with such interest as may be provided by law before any payment shall be made on account of principal of or interest on
this Subordinated Note. Additionally, in the event of any insolvency, dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any
liquidation or winding up of or relating to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated
Notes, including this Subordinated Note. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect
to the Senior Indebtedness, the registered holders of the Subordinated Notes from time to time (each a “Noteholder”
and, collectively, the “Noteholders”), together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on
parity with the Subordinated Notes, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the unpaid principal
thereof, and the unpaid interest thereon before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall
be made (i) with respect to any obligation that by its terms expressly is junior to in the right of payment to the Subordinated
Notes, (ii) with respect to any indebtedness between the Company and any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates or (iii) on account
of any capital stock.

 

    10

     

    

 

(c)           
If there shall have occurred and be continuing (i) a default in any payment with respect to any Senior Indebtedness or (ii)
an event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness as a result of which the maturity thereof is accelerated, unless and
until such payment default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payments shall
be made by the Company with respect to the Subordinated Notes. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any payment
with respect to which the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 3 (Subordination) would be applicable.

 

(d)          
Nothing herein shall act to prohibit, limit or impede the Company from issuing additional debt of the Company having the
same rank as the Subordinated Notes or which may be junior or senior in rank to the Subordinated Notes. Each Noteholder, by its
acceptance hereof, further acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an
inducement and a consideration for each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired
before or after the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness,
and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring
and continuing to hold or in continuing to hold such Senior Indebtedness.

 

		4.	Redemption.

 

(a)              
Redemption Prior to Fifth Anniversary. This Subordinated Note shall not be redeemable by the Company in whole or
in part prior to July 1, 2025, except in the event of a: (i) Tier 2 Capital Event (as defined below); (ii) Tax Event (as defined
below); or (iii) Investment Company Event (as defined below). Upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event, a Tax Event or an
Investment Company Event, the Company may redeem this Subordinated Note, subject to Section 4(f) (Regulatory Approvals)
hereof, in whole or in part at any time, upon giving not less than ten (10) business days’ notice to the holder of this Subordinated
Note at an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest, to but excluding
the redemption date. “Tier 2 Capital Event” means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel to the
Company to the effect that there is, or within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of such opinion there will be, a material
risk that this Subordinated Note does not qualify as “Tier 2” Capital (as defined by the Federal Reserve) (or its then
equivalent) as a result of a change in law or regulation, or interpretation or application thereof, by any judicial, legislative
or regulatory authority that becomes effective after the date of issuance of this Subordinated Note. “Tax Event”
means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel to the Company that as a result of any amendment to, or change (including
any final and adopted (or enacted) prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of any official administrative pronouncement or judicial
decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, there exists a material risk that interest payable by the Company on
the Subordinated Notes is not, or within one hundred twenty (120) days after the receipt of such opinion will not be, deductible
by the Company, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes. “Investment Company Event”
means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that there is a material risk that the Company
is or, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the receipt of such opinion will be, required to register as an investment company
pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

    11

     

    

 

(b)              
Redemption on or after Fifth Anniversary. On or after July 1, 2025, subject to the provisions of Section 4(f)
(Regulatory Approvals) hereof, this Subordinated Note shall be redeemable at the option of and by the Company, in whole or in part
from time to time upon any Interest Payment Date, at an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed
plus accrued but unpaid interest, to but excluding the redemption date, but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples
of $1,000. In addition, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Subordinated Notes, at any time upon the occurrence of a
Tier 2 Capital Event, Tax Event or an Investment Company Event.

 

(c)              
Partial Redemption. If less than the then-outstanding principal amount of this Subordinated Note is redeemed, (i)
a new Subordinated Note shall be issued representing the unredeemed portion without charge to the Noteholder and (ii) such redemption
shall be effected on a pro rata basis as to the Noteholders. For purposes of clarity, upon a partial redemption, a like percentage
of the principal amount of every Subordinated Note held by every Noteholder shall be redeemed.

 

(d)              
No Redemption at Option of Noteholder. This Subordinated Note is not subject to redemption at the option of the Noteholder.

 

(e)              
Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and notwithstanding that this Subordinated
Note has been called for redemption but has not yet been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the date fixed for redemption
interest shall cease to accrue on the portion of this Subordinated Note called for redemption, this Subordinated Note shall no
longer be deemed outstanding with respect to the portion called for redemption and all rights with respect to the portion of this
Subordinated Note called for redemption shall forthwith on such date fixed for redemption cease and terminate unless the Company
shall default in the payment of the redemption price, except only the right of the Noteholder to receive the amount payable on
such redemption, without interest. For purposes of clarity, any redemption made pursuant to the terms of this Subordinated Note
shall be made on a pro rata basis, and, to the extent applicable and for purposes of a redemption processed through The Depository
Trust Company (DTC), on a “Pro Rata Pass-Through Distribution of Principal” basis, among all of the Subordinated Notes
outstanding at the time thereof.

 

(f)               
Regulatory Approvals. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 4 shall be subject to receipt of any and all
required federal and state regulatory approvals or non-objections, including, but not limited to, the consent of the Federal Reserve.
In the case of any redemption of this Subordinated Note pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section 4, the Company
will give the Noteholder notice of redemption, which notice shall indicate the aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes
to be redeemed, not less than thirty (30) nor more than forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the redemption date.

 

    12

     

    

 

(g)              
Purchase and Resale of the Subordinated Notes. Subject to any required federal and state regulatory approvals and
the provisions of this Subordinated Note, the Company shall have the right to purchase any of the Subordinated Notes at any time
in the open market, private transactions or otherwise. If the Company purchases any Subordinated Notes, it may, in its discretion,
hold, resell or cancel any of the purchased Subordinated Notes.

 

		5.	Events of Default; Acceleration; Compliance Certificate.

 

Notwithstanding any
cure periods provided for below, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the Company
becoming aware of the occurrence of such event) notify the Noteholders in writing when the Company becomes aware of the happening
of any event described below. Regardless of whether the Company has provided the forgoing notice, each of the following events
shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

 

(a)              
the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization law, now or hereafter in effect of
the United States or any political subdivision thereof, and such decree or order will have continued unstayed and in effect for
a period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days;

 

(b)              
the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization law, now
or hereafter in effect of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or the consent by the Company to the entry of
a decree or order for relief in an involuntary case or proceeding under any such law;

 

(c)              
the Company (i) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts as they mature, (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, (iii) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature or (iv) ceases to be a bank holding company
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended;

 

(d)              
the failure of the Company to pay any installment of interest on any of the Subordinated Notes as and when the same will
become due and payable, and the continuation of such failure for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days;

 

(e)              
the failure of the Company to pay all or any part of the principal of any of the Subordinated Notes as and when the same
will become due and payable;

 

(f)               
the liquidation of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, “liquidation” does not include any merger, consolidation,
sale of equity or assets or reorganization (exclusive of a reorganization in bankruptcy) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries);

 

(g)              
the failure of the Company to perform any other covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Subordinated
Note, and the continuation of such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which notice specifying such failure,
stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder and demanding that the Company remedy the same, will have
been given, in the manner set forth in Section 21 (Notices), to the Company by a Noteholder;

 

    13

     

    

 

(h)              
the default by the Company under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company
having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $1,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or is created or
incurred in the future, which default (i) constitutes a failure to pay any portion of the principal of such indebtedness when due
and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period or (ii) results in such indebtedness becoming due or being declared
due and payable prior to the date on which it otherwise would have become due and payable without, in the case of clause (i), such
indebtedness having been discharged or, in the case of clause (ii), without such indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration
having been rescinded or annulled; or

 

(i)                
any certification made to any Noteholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by the Company or otherwise made in writing
to any Noteholder in connection with or as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or this Subordinated Note by the Company shall
be materially incorrect or false as of the delivery date of such certification, or any representation to any Noteholder by the
Company as to the financial condition or credit standing of the Company is or proves to be materially false or misleading.

 

Unless the principal
amount of this Subordinated Note already shall have become due and payable, if an Event of Default set forth in Section 5(a)
or Section 5(b) above shall have occurred and be continuing, then the principal amount of this Subordinated Note, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on the Subordinated Note will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Noteholder, and the Company waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, notice of
protest, and all other notices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the Company treats the Subordinated Notes as Tier 2 Capital,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b),
no Noteholder may accelerate the Maturity Date of the Subordinated Notes and make the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid
interest on, the Subordinated Notes, immediately due and payable. The Company, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the receipt
of written notice from any Noteholder of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note, shall mail
to all Noteholders, at their addresses shown on the Security Register (as defined in Section 13 (Registration of Transfer,
Security Register) below), such written notice of Event of Default, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived
before the giving of such notice as certified by the Company in writing.

 

6.            
Failure to Make Payments. In the event of an Event of Default under Section 5(d) or Section 5(e)
above, the Company will, upon demand of the Noteholder, pay to the Noteholder the amount then due and payable on this Subordinated
Note for principal and interest (without acceleration of the Subordinated Note in any manner), with interest on the overdue principal
and interest at the per annum rate borne by this Subordinated Note, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If the Company fails
to pay such amount upon such demand, the Noteholder may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection
of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company
and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company.

 

Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, until such Event of Default is cured by the Company or waived by the Noteholders in accordance with Section
17 (Waiver and Consent) hereof, except as may be required by any federal or state bank regulatory agency, the Company shall
not: (a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect
to, any of the Company’s capital stock; (b) make any payment of principal or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase
or redeem any indebtedness of the Company that ranks equal with or junior to the Subordinated Notes; or (c) make any payments under
any guarantee that ranks equal with or junior to the Subordinated Notes, other than: (i) any dividends or distributions in shares
of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, any class of the Company’s common stock; (ii)
any declaration of a non-cash dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders’ rights plan, or the issuance
of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto; (iii) as a result
of a reclassification of the Company’s capital stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of the Company’s
capital stock for another class or series of the Company’s capital stock; (iv) the purchase of fractional interests in shares
of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being
converted or exchanged; or (v) purchases of any class of the Company’s common stock related to the issuance of common stock
or rights under any benefit plans for the Company’s directors, officers or employees or any of the Company’s dividend
reinvestment plans (including, without limitation, any repurchases or acquisitions in connection with the forfeiture of any stock
award, cashless or net exercise of any option, or acceptance of common stock in lieu of an award recipient’s tax obligations
under any equity award) (the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) are collectively referred to as the “Permitted Dividends”).
The limitations imposed by the provisions of this Section 6 shall apply whether or not the Noteholder has notified the Company
of an Event of Default.

 

    14

and collectively, the “Banks”), becomes less than ten percent (10.0%), eight percent (8.0%), six and one-half
percent (6.50%) or five percent (5.0%), respectively, as of the end of any calendar quarter (provided that, to the extent either
Bank has opted into the community bank leverage ratio framework, no notice need be given until such Bank ceases to be a qualifying
community banking organization, as defined under 12 CFR § 3.12);

 

(ii)          
The Company, or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, or any officer of the Company (in such capacity), becomes subject
to any formal, written regulatory enforcement action (as defined by the applicable state or federal bank regulatory authority);

 

    15

     

    

 

(iii)         
The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets of either Bank, as calculated by the Company in the ordinary course of
business and consistent with past practices, becomes greater than five percent (5.0%), as of the end of any calendar quarter;

There is a change known to the Company in ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding securities of the Company entitled

(vi)         
The Company issues any additional Indebtedness.

 

(b)              
Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Noteholder that it will
duly and punctually pay the principal of, and interest on, this Subordinated Note, in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(c)              
Maintenance of Office. The Company will maintain an office or agency in the City of Salisbury, Maryland where Subordinated
Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect
of the Subordinated Notes may be served.

 

The Company may also
from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Subordinated Notes may be presented or surrendered
for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission
will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the State of Maryland. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Noteholders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any
such other office or agency.

 

(d)              
Corporate Existence. The Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force

and the Banks; and (iii) the rights (constituent governing documents and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and
each subsidiary of the Company and the Banks; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to preserve the existence
(corporate or other) of any of its subsidiaries (other than the Banks) or any such right, license or franchise of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries (other than the Banks) if the Board of Directors of the Company determines that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof
will not be disadvantageous in any material respect to the Noteholders; provided further that the Company may in its discretion
merge the Banks into one another.

 

(e)              
Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause each subsidiary of the Company and the Banks to, cause
all its properties used or useful in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working
order, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section 7(e) will prevent the Company or any subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and maintenance
of any of their respective properties if such discontinuance is, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company
or of any subsidiary, as the case may be, desirable in the conduct of its business and that the discontinuance thereof will not
be disadvantageous in any material respect to the Noteholders.

 

    16

     

    

 

(f)

condition set forth in Section 7(c) (Maintenance of Office), Section 7(d) (Corporate Existence), or Section 7(e)
(Maintenance of Properties) above, with respect to this Subordinated Note if before the time for such compliance the Noteholders
of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Subordinated Notes, by act of such Noteholders, either
will waive such compliance in such instance or generally will have waived compliance with such term, provision or condition, but
no such waiver will extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until
such waiver will become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such term, provision or condition will remain
in full force and effect.

 

(g)              
Tier 2 Capital. If all or any portion of the Subordinated Notes ceases to qualify for inclusion as Tier 2 Capital,
other than due to the limitation imposed on the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five (5) years immediately preceding
the Maturity Date of the Subordinated Notes, the Company will immediately notify the Noteholders and thereafter the Company and
the Noteholders will work together in good faith to execute and deliver all agreements as reasonably necessary in order to restructure
the applicable portions of the obligations evidenced by the Subordinated Notes to qualify as Tier 2 Capital; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Section 7(g) (Tier 2 Capital) shall limit the Company’s right to redeem the Subordinated
Notes upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event pursuant to Section 4(a) (Redemption Prior to Fifth Anniversary) or
Section 4(b) (Redemption on or after Fifth Anniversary).

 

(h)              
Compliance with Laws. The Company and each subsidiary of the Company and the Banks shall comply with the requirements
of all laws, regulations, orders and decrees applicable to it or its properties, except for such noncompliance that would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

(i)                
Taxes and Assessments. The Company shall punctually pay and discharge all material taxes, assessments, and other
governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or upon any of its properties; provided, however, that

(i)            
Not later than forty-five (45) days following the end of each quarterly period for which the Company has not submitted a
Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding Companies Reporting Form FR Y-9C to the Federal Reserve, upon request, the Company
shall provide the Noteholder with a copy of the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet and statement of income (loss)
for and as of the end of such immediately preceding fiscal quarter, prepared in accordance with past practice. Quarterly financial
statements, if required herein, shall be unaudited and need not comply with GAAP.

 

    17

     

    

 

(ii)           
Not later than one hundred twenty (120) days from the end of each fiscal year, upon request the Company shall provide the
Noteholder with copies of the Company’s audited financial statements consisting of the consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of the fiscal year end and the related statements of income (loss) and retained earnings, stockholders’ equity
and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. Such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis throughout the period involved.

 

(k)              
 Company Statement as to Compliance. The Company will deliver to Noteholder, within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate covering the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not,
to the best of his or her knowledge, (i) the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions
and conditions of this Subordinated Note (without regard to notice requirements or periods of grace) and if the Company will be
in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which he or she may have knowledge; and (ii) any
event or events have occurred that in the reasonable judgment of the management of the Company would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		8.	Negative Covenants of the Company.

 

(a)              
Limitation on Dividends. The Company shall not declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on capital stock
or other equity securities of any kind of the Company if the Company is not “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes
immediately prior to the declaration of such dividend or distribution, except for Permitted Dividends.

 

(b)              
Merger or Sale of Assets. The Company shall not merge into another entity or convey, transfer or lease substantially
all of its properties and assets to any Person, unless:

 

(i)            
the continuing entity into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer or which leases
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company shall be a corporation, association or other legal entity organized
and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes
the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the Subordinated Notes according to their terms,
and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions hereof on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;
provided, however, that no express assumption shall be required by any successor by merger to the Company to the extent
such legal successor assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder by operation of law; and

 

(ii)           
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time
or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

(c)              
Continuance of Business. Other than in connection with a transaction which complies with Section 8(b), the Company
shall not take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of: (i) the Company
ceasing to be a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (provided, however, for the
avoidance of doubt, nothing herein is intended to prohibit Company from electing to be a financial holding company or, following
such an election, exiting financial holding company status), (ii) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or either Bank,
(iii) either Bank ceasing to be an “insured depository institution” under Section 3(c)(2) of the Federal Deposit Insurance

of the Banks to conduct business under a single banking charter.

 

    18

     

    

 

9.

11.         
Payment Procedures. Payment of the principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date will be made by check,
by wire transfer or by Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account in the United States

upon presentation and surrender of this Subordinated Note at the Payment Office (as defined in Section 21 (Notices) below)
or at such other place or places as the Company shall designate by notice to the registered Noteholders as the Payment Office,
provided that this Subordinated Note is presented to the Company in time for the Company to make such payments in such funds in
accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest (other than interest payable on the Maturity Date) shall be made on
each Interest Payment Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or check mailed to the registered Noteholder, as such
Person’s address appears on the Security Register. Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the
Noteholder in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) calendar
day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, without regard to whether such date is a Business Day, except that interest
not paid on the Interest Payment Date, if any, will be paid to the holder in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered at
the close of business on a special record date fixed by the Company (a “Special Record Date”), notice of which
shall be given to the Noteholder not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, interest shall accrue, at the rate at which interest accrues on the principal of this Subordinated Note, on
any amount of principal or interest on this Subordinated Note not paid when due. All payments on this Subordinated Note shall be
applied first against costs and expenses of the Noteholder, if any, for which the Company is liable under this Subordinated Note;
then against interest due hereunder; and then against principal due hereunder. The Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that the
payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Subordinated Note and all interest hereon shall be pari
passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Subordinated Notes. In the event that the Noteholder receives
payments in excess of the Noteholder’s pro rata share of the Company’s payments to the holders of all of the Subordinated
Notes, then the Noteholder shall hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the other Noteholders and shall pay
such amounts held in trust to such other holders upon demand by such Noteholders.

 

    19

     

    

 

12.          
Form of Payment. Payments of principal of and interest on this Subordinated Note shall be made in such coin or

Registration of Transfer, Security Register. Except as otherwise provided herein, or in the Purchase Agreement
between Noteholder and the Company, and subject to limitations on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws,
this Subordinated Note is transferable in whole or in part, and may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Subordinated
Notes of other authorized denominations, by the Noteholder in person, or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, at the Payment
Office or the offices of the Registrar. The Company or its agent (the “Registrar”) shall maintain a register
providing for the registration of the Subordinated Notes and any exchange or transfer thereof (the “Security Register”).
Upon surrender or presentation of this Subordinated Note for exchange or registration of transfer, the Company or the Registrar
shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor a Subordinated Note or Subordinated Notes of like aggregate principal amount, each
in a minimum denomination of $100,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000 (and, in the absence
of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the contrary, bearing the restrictive legend(s) set forth hereinabove)
and that is or are registered in such name or names requested by the Noteholder. Any Subordinated Note presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in such
form as is attached hereto and incorporated herein, duly executed by the Noteholder or its attorney duly authorized in writing,
with such tax identification number (including, without limitation, an appropriate and properly executed Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9 or appropriate type of Form W-8) or other information for each Person in whose name a Subordinated Note is to be issued,
and accompanied by evidence of compliance with any restrictive legend(s) appearing on such Subordinated Note or Subordinated Notes
as the Company may reasonably request to comply with applicable law. No exchange or registration of transfer of this Subordinated
Note shall be made on or after (i) the fifteenth (15th) day immediately preceding the Maturity Date or (ii) the due
delivery of notice of redemption.

 

14.          
Successors and Assigns. This Subordinated Note shall be binding upon the Company and inure to the benefit of
the Noteholder and its respective successors and permitted assigns. The Noteholder may assign all, or any part of, or any interest
in, the Noteholder’s rights and benefits hereunder only to the extent and in the manner permitted by the terms of this Subordinated
Note, the Purchase Agreement, and under applicable securities laws and regulations. To the extent of any such assignment, such
assignee shall have the same rights and benefits against the Company and shall agree to be bound by and to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Purchase Agreement as it would have had if it were the Noteholder hereunder.

 

    20

     

    

 

  

15.             
Priority. The Subordinated Notes rank pari passu among themselves and pari passu, in the event
of any insolvency proceeding, dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, restructuring of debt, marshaling
of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding or any liquidation or winding up of the Company, with all other present or future
unsecured subordinated debt obligations of the Company, except any unsecured subordinated debt that, pursuant to its express terms,
is senior or subordinate in right of payment to the Subordinated Notes.

 

16.             
Ownership. Prior to due presentment of this Subordinated Note for registration of transfer, the Company may treat
the holder in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered in the Security Register as the absolute owner of this Subordinated
Note for receiving payments of principal and interest on this Subordinated Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not this Subordinated Note be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

17.             
Waiver and Consent.

 

    (a)               
This Subordinated Note may be amended or waived pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions set forth herein
and as set forth in Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement. Any such consent or waiver given by the Noteholder shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all subsequent holders of this Subordinated Note and of any Subordinated Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Subordinated Note. No delay or omission of the Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon
any Event of Default shall impair such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Any insured depository institution that shall be a Noteholder or that otherwise shall have any beneficial ownership interest in
this Subordinated Note shall, by its acceptance of such Subordinated Note (or beneficial interest therein), be deemed to have waived
any right of offset with respect to the indebtedness evidenced thereby.

 

    (b)               
No waiver or amendment of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement in the Subordinated Notes shall be
effective except with the consent of the Noteholders holding more than fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount (excluding
any Subordinated Notes held by the Company or any of its Affiliates) of the Subordinated Notes at the time outstanding; provided,
however, that without the consent of each Noteholder of an affected Subordinated Note, no such amendment or waiver may:
(i) reduce the principal amount of the Subordinated Note; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on
any Subordinated Note; (iii) extend the maturity of any Subordinated Note; (iv) change the currency in which payment of the obligations
of the Company under the Subordinated Notes are to be made; (v) lower the percentage of aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Subordinated Notes required to approve any amendment of the Subordinated Notes; (vi) make any changes to Section 4(c) (Partial
Redemption), Section 5 (Events of Default; Acceleration), Section 6 (Failure to Make Payments), Section 15 (Priority), or Section
17 (Waiver and Consent) of the Subordinated Notes that adversely affects the rights of any Noteholder; or (vii) disproportionately
and adversely affect the rights of any of the holders of the then outstanding Subordinated Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company may amend or supplement the Subordinated Notes without the consent of the Noteholders to cure any ambiguity, defect
or inconsistency or to provide for uncertificated Subordinated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Subordinated Notes,
or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Noteholder of any of the Subordinated Notes. No failure
to exercise or delay in exercising, by any Noteholder of the Subordinated Notes, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law. The rights and remedies provided in this Subordinated
Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on the Company in any
case shall, in itself, entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute
a waiver of the rights of the Noteholders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent
or waiver, express or implied, by the Noteholders to or of any breach or default by the Company in the performance of its obligations
hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the
same or any other obligations of the Company hereunder. Failure on the part of the Noteholders to complain of any acts or failure
to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the
Noteholders of their rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or default by the Company.

 

    21

     

    

 

18.             
Absolute and Unconditional Obligation of the Company. No provisions of this Subordinated Note shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and interest on this Subordinated
Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. No delay or omission of the Noteholder to exercise
any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event
of Default or any acquiescence therein.

 

19.             
No Sinking Fund; Convertibility. This Subordinated Note is not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. This
Subordinated Note is not convertible into or exchangeable for any of the equity securities, other securities or assets of the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company.

 

20.             
No Recourse Against Others. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this
Subordinated Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, will be had against any past, present or future
shareholder, employee, officer, or director, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor, either directly or through
the Company or any predecessor or successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by
the acceptance of this Subordinated Note by the Noteholder and as part of the consideration for the issuance of this Subordinated
Note.
