EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

 

2014

 

THIS AGREEMENT, is made and entered
into effective as of the 1st day of November 2014 by and between Community Bank of the Chesapeake, a banking corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, hereinafter referred to as the "Plan Sponsor", and Gregory Cockerham, hereinafter referred to as the "Participant".

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, it is the consensus of
the Board that the Participant's services to the Plan Sponsor in the past have been of exceptional merit and have constituted an
invaluable contribution to the general welfare of the Plan Sponsor bringing it to its present status of operating efficiency, and
its present position in its field of activity;

 

WHEREAS, the experience of the
Participant, his knowledge of the affairs of the Plan Sponsor, his reputation and contacts in the industry are so valuable that
assurance of his continued services is essential for the future growth and profits of the Plan Sponsor and it is in the best interests
of the Plan Sponsor to arrange terms of continued employment for the Participant so as to reasonably assure his remaining in the
Plan Sponsor's employment during his lifetime or until the age of retirement;

 

WHEREAS, it is the desire of the
Plan Sponsor that his services be retained as herein provided;

 

WHEREAS, the Participant is willing
to continue in the employ of the Plan Sponsor provided the Plan Sponsor agrees to pay to his beneficiaries certain benefits in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

 

WHEREAS, the Plan Sponsor intends
that the Plan shall at all times be administered and interpreted in such a manner as to constitute an unfunded nonqualified deferred
compensation plan for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. This Plan is not intended to qualify for favorable tax
treatment pursuant to IRC Section 401(a) of the Code or any successor section or statute. This Plan is intended to comply with
IRC Section 409A as created under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Jobs Act of 2004"). It is both anticipated
and expected that the terms and provisions of this Plan may need to be amended in the future to assure continued compliance. The
Plan Sponsor and the Participant acknowledge that fact and agree to take any and all steps necessary to operate the Plan in "good
faith" based on their current understanding of the regulations; and

 

NOW THEREFORE; in consideration
of services performed in the past and to be performed in the future as well as of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained,
it is agreed as follows:

apply. The Participant's Normal Retirement Benefit shall commence to be paid on the first day of the second month following the
Participant's Separation from Service (or, if the Participant is a Specified Employee, on the first day of the seventh month following

the Participant may elect to receive the Normal Retirement Benefit pursuant to this Section 3.6 in the form of (i) a lump sum,
(ii)   equal annual installments over two (2) years, or (iii) equal annual installments over five (5) years. Any
election by the Participant pursuant to this Section 3.6 must be submitted to the Plan Sponsor by the date the Participant initially
becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

3.7   Termination

"Cause", then the Participant shall not be entitled to any benefits under the terms of this Plan.

 

3.8   Prohibition

may accelerate the time or schedule of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid under this Plan, except that the Plan Sponsor,
in its discretion, may accelerate payments as permitted by Treasury Regulations §1.409A-3(j)(4). The Plan Sponsor shall deny
any change made to an election if the Plan Sponsor determines that the change violates the requirements of authoritative guidance.

 

3.9   Subsequent
Changes in the Time or Form of Payment. If permitted by the Plan Sponsor, a Participant may elect to change the time or form of
payments (collectively, "payment elections"), provided the following conditions are met:

 

(i)   Such
change will not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the new payment election is made and approved
by the Plan Administrator;

 

(ii)   If
the change of payment election relates to a payment based on Separation from Service, or if the payment is at a specified time
or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the change of payment election must result in payment being deferred for a period of not less
than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid (or in the case of a life annuity or installment
payments, which are treated as a single payment, five (5) years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid);

 

(iii)   If
the change of payment election relates to a payment at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the Participant or Plan
Sponsor must make the change of payment election not less than twelve (12) months before the date the payment is scheduled to be
paid (or in the case of a life annuity or installment payments, which are treated as a single payment, twelve (12) months before
the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

Notwithstanding the preceding,
to the extent permitted under Section 409A and by the Plan Sponsor, the Participant may elect the timing and manner of distributions
during 2008 (except that a Participant cannot in 2008 change payment elections with respect to payments that the Participant would
otherwise receive in 2008, or make an election that causes payments scheduled for subsequent years to be made in 2008), and such
election shall not be treated as a change in the form and timing of payment or an acceleration of payment under Section 409A.

 

3.10   Delay in
Payment by Plan Sponsor.

 

(a)   A
payment may be delayed to a date after the designated payment date under any of the circumstances described below, and the provision
will not fail to meet the requirements of establishing a permissible payment event. The delay in the payment will not constitute
a subsequent deferral election, so long as the Plan Sponsor treats all payments to similarly situated Participants on a reasonably
consistent basis.

 

(i)   Payments
subject to Section 162(m). A payment may be delayed to the extent that the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that if the payment
were made as scheduled, the Plan Sponsor's deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application
of Code §162(m). If a payment is delayed, such payment must be made either:

 

(1)   during
the Participant's first Taxable Year in which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if
the payment is made during such year, the deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of Code §162(m) or,

 

(2)   during
the period beginning with the date of the Participant's Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the
Taxable Year of the Plan Sponsor in which the Participant separates from service or the 15th day of the third month following the
Participant's Separation from Service. Where any scheduled payment to a specific Participant in the Plan Sponsor's Taxable Year
is delayed in accordance with this Article, the delay in payment will be treated as a subsequent deferral election unless all scheduled
payments to the Participant that could be delayed in accordance with this Article are also delayed. Where the payment is delayed
to a date on or after the Participant's Separation from Service, the payment will be considered a payment upon a Separation from
Service for purposes of the rules under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-3(i)(2) (payments to specified employees upon a separation
from service) and, the 6 month delay rule will apply for Specified Employees.

 

(ii)   Payments
that would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law. A payment may be delayed where the Plan Sponsor reasonably
anticipates that the making of the payment will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law provided that the payment
is made at the earliest date at which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such
violation. The making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other
provision of the Internal Revenue Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

(iii)   Other events
and conditions. The Plan Sponsor may delay a payment upon such other events and conditions as the Commissioner of the IRS may prescribe.

 

(b)   Treatment
of Payment as Made on Designated Payment Date. Each payment under this Plan is deemed made on the required payment date even if
the payment is made after such date, provided the payment is made by the latest of: (i) the end of the calendar year in which the
payment is due; (ii) the 15th day of the third calendar month following the payment due date; (iii) in case the Plan Sponsor cannot
calculate the payment amount on account of administrative impracticality which is beyond the Participant's control (or the control
of the Participant's estate), in the first calendar year in which payment is practicable; (iv) in the case where the payment would
jeopardize the ability of the Plan Sponsor to continue as a going concern, in the first calendar year in which the making of the
payment would not have such effect.

 

3.11   Unsecured
General Creditor Status of Participant:

 

(a)   Payment
to the Participant or any Beneficiary hereunder shall be made from assets which shall continue, for all purposes, to be part of
the general, unrestricted assets of the Plan Sponsor and no person shall have any interest in any such asset by virtue of any provision
of this Plan. The Plan Sponsor's obligation hereunder shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. To
the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Plan Sponsor under the provisions hereof, such right shall
be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Plan Sponsor and no such person shall have or acquire any
legal or equitable right, interest, or claim in or to any property or assets of the Plan Sponsor.

 

(b)   In
the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies insuring the life of a Participant or employee, to allow
the Plan Sponsor to recover or meet the cost of providing benefits, in whole or in part, hereunder, no Participant or Beneficiary
shall have any rights whatsoever in said policy or the proceeds therefrom. The Plan Sponsor or the Trustee of the Trust (if any)
shall be the primary owner and beneficiary of any such insurance policy or property and shall possess and may exercise all incidents
of ownership therein. No insurance policy with regard to any director, "highly compensated employee”, or "highly
compensated individual” as defined in IRS Section 101(j) shall be acquired before satisfying the Section 101(j) "Notice
and Consent” requirements,

 

(c)   In
the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies on the life of a Participant as provided for above, then
all of such policies shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Plan Sponsor.

 

(d)   If
the Plan Sponsor chooses to obtain insurance on the life of a Participant in connection with its obligations under this Plan, the
Participant hereby agrees to take such physical examinations and to truthfully and completely supply such information as may be
required by the Plan Sponsor or the insurance company designated by the Plan Sponsor.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

3.12   Facility
of Payment. If a distribution is to be made to a minor, or to a person who is otherwise incompetent, then the Plan Administrator
may make such distribution: (i) to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of a minor payee with whom the payee maintains his
or her residence; or (ii) to the conservator or administrator or, if none, to the person having custody of an incompetent payee.
Any such distribution shall fully discharge the Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator from further liability on account thereof.

 

3.13   Excise Tax
Limitation. In the event that any payment or benefit (within the meaning of Code §280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Participant
or for the Participant's benefit paid or payable or distributed or distributable (including, but not limited to, the acceleration
of the time for the vesting or payment of such benefit or payment) pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise in connection
with, or arising out of, the Participant’s employment with the Plan Sponsor or any of its affiliates or a Change in Control
within the meaning of Code §280G of the Code (a "Payment" or "Payments"), would be subject to the excise
tax imposed by Code §4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then the Payments shall be increased in an amount necessary
to provide for the payment of the excise tax imposed by Code §4999 (the "Section 4999 Limit"). Any payment made
to the Participant under this Section 3.13 shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year
in which the Participant remits the related taxes.

ARTICLE 5

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

 

5.1   Designation
of Beneficiaries.

 

(a)   The
Participant may designate any person or persons (who may be named contingently or successively) to receive any benefits payable
under the Plan upon the Participant's death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant by filing
a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be in the form prescribed by
the Administrator, and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime.

 

(b)   In
the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living

living, and if the spouse is not then living to the Participant's then living descendants, if any, per stirpes, and if there are
no living descendants, to the Participant's estate. In determining the existence or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment,
the Plan Sponsor may rely conclusively upon information supplied by the Participant's personal representative, executor, or administrator.

 

(c)   If
a question arises as to the existence or identity of anyone entitled to receive a death benefit payment under the Plan, or if a
dispute arises with respect to any death benefit payment under the Plan, the Plan Sponsor may distribute the payment to the Participant's
estate without liability for any tax or other consequences, or may take any other action which the Plan Sponsor deems to be appropriate.

to be Furnished by Participants and Beneficiaries; Inability to Locate Participants or Beneficiaries. Any communication, statement,
or notice addressed to the Participant or to a Beneficiary at his or her last post office address as shown on the Plan Sponsor's

to search for any Participant or Beneficiary beyond the sending of a registered letter to the last known address.

 

ARTICLE 6

ADMINISTRATION

 

6.1   Administrator
Duties. The Administrator shall be responsible for the management, operation, and administration of the Plan. The
Administrator shall act at meetings by affirmative vote of a majority of its members. Any action permitted to be taken at a
meeting may be taken without a meeting if, prior to such action, a unanimous written consent to the action is signed by all
members and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Administrator, provided, however that no
member may vote or act upon any matter which relates to his or her status as a Participant. The chair, or any other member or
members of the Administrator designated by the chair, may execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the
Administrator. When making a determination or calculation, the Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information
furnished by the Participant or the Plan Sponsor. No provision of this Plan shall be construed as imposing on the
Administrator any fiduciary duty under ERISA or other law, or any duty similar to any fiduciary duty under ERISA or other
law.

ARTICLE 7

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

 

7.1   Claims Procedures.
This Section 7.1 is based on final regulations issued by the Department of Labor and published in the Federal Register on November
21, 2000 and codified at section 2560.503-1 of the Department of Labor Regulations. If any provision of this Section 8.4 conflicts
with the requirements of those regulations, the requirements of those regulations will prevail.

 

(a)   Initial
Claim. A Participant or Beneficiary who believes he or she is entitled to any Benefit (a "Claimant") under this Plan
may file a claim with the Administrator. The Administrator will review the claim itself or appoint another individual or entity
to review the claim.

 

(i)   Benefit
Claims that do not Require a Determination of Disability. If the claim is for a benefit other than a disability benefit, the Claimant
will be notified within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed whether the claim is allowed or denied, unless the Claimant receives
written notice from the Administrator or appointee of the Administrator before the end of the ninety (90) day period stating that
special circumstances require an extension of the time for decision, such extension not to extend beyond the day which is one hundred
eighty (180) days after the day the claim is filed.

 

(ii)   Disability
Benefit Claims. In the case of a benefits claim that requires a determination by the Plan Administrator of a Participant's disability
status, the Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant of the Plan's adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period
of time, but not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the claim. If, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan,
the Plan Administrator needs additional time to process a claim, the Claimant will be notified, within forty-five (45) days after
the Plan Administrator receives the claim, of those circumstances and of when the Plan Administrator expects to make its decision
but not beyond seventy-five (75) days. If, prior to the end of the extension period, due to matters beyond the control of the
Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for up
to one hundred five (105) days, provided that the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant of the circumstances requiring the extension
and the date as of which the Plan expects to render a decision. The extension notice will specifically explain the standards on
which entitlement to a disability benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim and the additional
information needed from the Claimant to resolve those issues, and the Claimant will be afforded at least forty-five (45) days within
which to provide the specified information.

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

(iii)   Manner
and Content of Denial of Initial Claims. If the Plan Administrator denies a claim, it must provide to the Claimant, in writing
or by electronic communication:

 

(A)   The
specific reasons for the denial;

 

(B)   A
reference to the Plan provision or insurance contract provision upon which the denial is based;

 

(C)   A
description of any additional information or material that the Claimant must provide in order to perfect the claim;

 

(D)   An
explanation of why such additional material or information is necessary;

 

(E)   Notice
that the Claimant has a right to request a review of the claim denial and information on the steps to be taken if the Claimant
wishes to request a review of the claim denial; and

 

(F)   A
statement of the participant's right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following a denial on review of the initial
denial.

 

In addition,
in the case of a denial of disability benefits on the basis of the Plan Administrator's independent determination of the Participant's
disability status, the Plan Administrator will provide a copy of any rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion relied
upon in making the adverse determination (or a statement that the same will be provided upon request by the Claimant and without
charge).

 

(b)   Review Procedures.

 

(i)   Benefit
Claims that do not Require a Determination of Disability. Except for claims requiring an independent determination of a Participant's
disability status, a request for review of a denied claim must be made in writing to the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days
after receiving notice of denial. The decision upon review will be made within sixty (60) days after the Plan Administrator's receipt
of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will
be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a request for review. A notice of such an extension must
be provided to the Claimant within the initial sixty (60) day period and must explain the special circumstances and provide an
expected date of decision.

 

The reviewer
will afford the Claimant an opportunity to review and receive, without charge, all relevant documents, information and records
and to submit issues and comments in writing to the Plan Administrator. The reviewer will take into account all comments, documents,
records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim regardless of whether the information was submitted
or considered in the initial benefit determination.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

(ii)   Disability
Benefit Claims. In addition to having the right to review documents and submit comments as described in (i) above, a Claimant whose
claim for disability benefits requires an independent determination by the Plan Administrator of the Participant's disability status
has at least one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt of a notification of an adverse benefit determination within which
to request a review of the initial determination. In such cases, the review will meet the following requirements:

 

(A)   The
Plan will provide a review that does not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination and that is conducted by
an appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan who did not make the initial determination that is the subject of the appeal, nor is
a subordinate of the individual who made the determination.

 

(B)   The
appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience
in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment before making a decision on review of any adverse initial determination
based in whole or in part on a medical judgment. The professional engaged for purposes of a consultation in the preceding sentence
will not be an individual who was consulted in connection with the initial determination that is the subject of the appeal or the
subordinate of any such individual.

 

(C)   The
Plan will identify to the Claimant the medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection
with the review, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit review determination.

 

(D)   The
decision on review will be made within forty-five (45) days after the Plan Administrator's receipt of a request for review, unless
special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than ninety
(90) days after receipt of a request for review. A notice of such an extension must be provided to the Claimant within the initial
forty-five (45) day period and must explain the special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision.

 

(iii)   Manner
and Content of Notice of Decision on Review. Upon completion of its review of an adverse initial claim determination, the Plan
Administrator will give the Claimant, in writing or by electronic notification, a notice containing:

 

(A)   its
decision;

 

(B)   the
specific reasons for the decision;

 

(C)   the
relevant Plan provisions or insurance contract provisions on which its decision is based;

 

(D)   a
statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and without charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents,
records and other information in the Plan's files which is relevant to the Claimant's claim for benefits;

 

(E)   a
statement describing the Claimant's right to bring an action for judicial review under ERISA section 502(a); and

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

(F)   if
an internal rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination on review,
a statement that a copy of the rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion will be provided without charge to the Claimant
upon request.

 

(c)   Calculation
of Time Periods. For purposes of the time periods specified in this Section, the period of time during which a benefit determination
is required to be made begins at the time a claim is filed in accordance with the Plan procedures without regard to whether all
the information necessary to make a decision accompanies the claim. If a period of time is extended due to a Claimant’s failure
to submit all information necessary, the period for making the determination shall be tolled from the date the notification is
sent to the Claimant until the date the Claimant responds.

 

(d)   Failure
of Plan to Follow Procedures. If the Plan fails to follow the claims procedures required by this Section 7.1, a Claimant shall
be deemed to have exhausted the administrative remedies available under the Plan and shall be entitled to pursue any available
remedy under ERISA section 502(a) on the basis that the Plan has failed to provide a reasonable claims procedure that would yield
a decision on the merits of the claim.

 

(e)   Failure
of Claimant to Follow Procedures. A Claimant's compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1 is a mandatory prerequisite
to the Claimant's right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under the Plan.

 

7.2   Arbitration
of Claims. All claims or controversies arising out of or in connection with this Plan shall, subject to the initial review provided
for in the foregoing provisions of this Article, be resolved through arbitration. Except as otherwise mutually agreed to by the
parties, any arbitration shall be administered under and by the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”),
in accordance with the JAMS procedures then in effect. The arbitration shall be held in the JAMS office nearest to where the Claimant
is or was last employed by the Plan Sponsor or at a mutually agreeable location.

 

ARTICLE 8 

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

8.1   Amendment.
The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend this Plan at any time to comply with Section 409A and other Applicable Guidance or
for any other purpose, provided that such amendment will not cause the Plan to violate the provisions of Section 409A. Except to
the extent necessary to bring this Plan into compliance with Section 409A, no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease
the value or vested percentage of a Participant's Accrued Benefit in existence at the time an amendment or modification is made
to the Plan.

 

8.2   Plan Termination.
The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate this Plan in accordance with one of the following, subject to the restrictions
imposed by Section 409A and authoritative guidance:

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

(a)   Corporate
Dissolution or Bankruptcy. This Plan may be terminated within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code
§ 331, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), and distributions may then
be made to the Participant provided that the amounts payable under this Plan are included in the Participants' gross income
in the latest of:

 

(i)   The
calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs;

 

(ii)  The
first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or

 

(iii) The
first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.

 

(b)   Change
in Control. This Plan may be terminated within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control.
This Plan will then be treated as terminated only if all arrangements that are treated as having been deferred under a single plan
in accordance with Applicable Guidance are terminated so that all participants in all those terminated arrangements who experienced
the Change in Control event are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within
twelve (12) months of the date of termination of the arrangements.

 

(c)   Discretionary
Termination. The Plan Sponsor may also terminate this Plan and make distributions provided that:

 

(i)   All
plans sponsored by the Plan Sponsor that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangements under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-l(c)
are terminated;

 

(ii)  No
payments, other than payments that would be payable under the terms of this Plan if the termination had not occurred, are made
within twelve (12) months of this Plan termination;

 

(iii) All
payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of this Plan termination; and

 

(iv)  Neither
the Plan Sponsor nor any of its affiliates adopts a new plan that would be aggregated with any terminated plan if the same Participant
participated in both arrangements at any time within three (3) years following the date of termination of this Plan.

 

(v)   The
termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Plan Sponsor.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

ARTICLE 9

THE TRUST

 

9.1   Establishment
of Trust. The Plan Sponsor may establish a grantor trust (the “Trust”), of which the Plan Sponsor is the grantor, within
the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, subtitle A of the Code, to pay benefits under this Plan. If the Plan Sponsor establishes
a Trust, all benefits payable under this Plan to a Participant shall be paid directly by the Plan Sponsor from the Trust. To the
extent such benefits are not paid from the Trust, the benefits shall be paid from the general assets of the Plan Sponsor. The Trust,
(if any), shall be a grantor trust which conforms to the terms of the model trust as described in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64,
I.R.B. 1992-33, as same may be amended or modified from time to time. If the Plan Sponsor establishes a Trust, the assets of the
Trust will be subject to the claims of the Plan Sponsor's creditors in the event of its insolvency. Except as may otherwise be
provided under the Trust, the Plan Sponsor shall not be obligated to set aside, earmark, or escrow any funds or other assets to
satisfy its obligations under this Plan, and the Participant and/ or his or her designated Beneficiaries shall not have any property
interest in any specific assets of the Plan Sponsor other than the unsecured right to receive payments from the Plan Sponsor, as
provided in this Plan.

 

9.2   Interrelationship
of the Plan and the Trust. The provisions of this Plan shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant
to this Plan. The provisions of the Trust (if established) shall govern the rights of the Participant and the creditors of the
Plan Sponsor to the assets transferred to the Trust. The Plan Sponsor and each Participant shall at all times remain liable to
carry out its obligations under this Plan. The Plan Sponsor's obligations under this Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed
pursuant to the terms of the Trust.

 

9.3   Contribution
to the Trust. Amounts may be contributed by the Plan Sponsor to the Trust at the sole discretion of the Plan Sponsor.

 

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1   Validity.
In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had
never been inserted herein; except to the extent that Section 409A requires that this Section 10.1   be
disregarded because it purports to nullify Plan terms that are not in compliance with Section 409A.

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

10.2   Nonassignability.
Neither any Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage,
or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate, or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder,
or any part hereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part
of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment (except to the extent the
Plan Sponsor may be required to garnish amounts from payments due under this Plan pursuant to applicable law), or sequestration
for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony, or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable
by operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency, or be transferable to a spouse
as a result of a property settlement or otherwise. If any Participant, Beneficiary, or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt
or purports to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber transfer, hypothecate, alienate,
or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amount, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, the Plan Administrator, in
its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary,
or successor in interest in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall direct.

 

10.3   Not a Contract
of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Plan
Sponsor and the Participant. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service
of the Plan Sponsor as an employee or otherwise or to interfere with the right of the Plan Sponsor to discipline or discharge the
Participant at any time.

 

10.4   Unclaimed
Benefits. In the case that the Plan Administrator is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable,
such Plan benefit shall be forfeited to the Plan Sponsor upon the Plan Administrator's determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
payment may be made to a Participant, and that payment will be treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan, if the Participant
provides notice to the Plan Sponsor within ninety (90) days of the latest date upon which the payment could have been timely made
in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Section 409A, and if not paid, if the Participant takes further enforcement measures
within one-hundred eighty (180) days after such latest date.

 

10.5   Governing
Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State
of Maryland without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

 

10.6   Notice. Any
notice, consent or demand required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Plan shall be in writing and shall be
signed by the party giving or making the same. If such notice, consent, or demand is mailed, it shall be sent by United States
certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the addressee's last known address as shown on the records of the Plan Sponsor. The
date of such mailing shall be deemed the date of notice consent or demand. Any person may change the address to which notice is
to be sent by giving notice of the change of address in the manner aforesaid.

 

10.7   Coordination
with Other Benefits. The benefits provided for a Participant and Participant's Beneficiary under this Plan are in addition to any
other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Plan Sponsor. This Plan shall
supplement and shall not supersede, modify, or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided
herein.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

10.8   Compliance. A Participant shall have no right to receive payment with respect to the Participant's
Accrued Benefit until all legal and contractual obligations of the Plan Sponsor relating to establishment of the Plan and the making
of such payments shall have been complied with in full.

 

10.9   Compliance
with Section 409A and Authoritative Guidance. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all provisions of this Plan,
including but not limited to the definitions of terms, elections to defer, and distributions, shall be made in accordance with
and shall comply with Section 409A and any authoritative guidance. The Plan Sponsor will amend the terms of this Plan retroactively,
if necessary, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A and any authoritative guidance. No election made by a Participant
hereunder, and no change made by a Participant to a previous election, shall be accepted by the Plan Sponsor if the Plan Sponsor
determines that acceptance of such election or change could violate any of the requirements of Section 409A or the authoritative
guidance. This Plan and any accompanying forms shall be interpreted in accordance with, and incorporate the terms and conditions
required by, Section 409A and the authoritative guidance, including, without limitation, any such Treasury Regulations or other
guidance that may be issued after the date hereof.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Plan Sponsor
has signed this Plan document as of the Effective Date.
