INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT

 

THIS
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 14th day of March, 2017,
by and between Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and Mark S. Berger
(“Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS,
the Corporation, which is organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as amended, the “DGCL”),
wishes to enter into this Agreement to set forth certain rights and obligations of the Indemnitee and the Corporation with respect
to the Indemnitee’s service as an officer of the Corporation;

 

WHEREAS,
it is essential to the Corporation that it be able to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available;

 

WHEREAS,
increased corporate litigation has subjected directors and officers to litigation risks and expenses, and the limitations on the
availability of directors and officers liability insurance have made it difficult for the Corporation to attract and retain such
persons;

 

WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) has determined that the difficulty in attracting and
retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Corporation’s stockholders and that the Corporation should
contractually obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law so that they will serve the Corporation free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

 

WHEREAS,
Indemnitee performs a valuable service to the Corporation in Indemnitee’s capacity as an officer of the Corporation;

 

WHEREAS,
the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) include provisions providing for the indemnification
of the directors and officers of the Corporation, including persons serving at the request of the Corporation in such capacities
with other corporations or enterprises, as authorized by the DGCL;

 

WHEREAS,
the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”), the Bylaws and the DGCL, by their nonexclusive
nature, permit contracts between the Corporation and its directors and officers with respect to indemnification of such persons;

 

WHEREAS,
in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for (a) substantial protection against personal liability as a condition to Indemnitee’s
service to the Corporation in Indemnitee’s capacity as an officer of the Corporation in addition to Indemnitee’s reliance
on the Bylaws, which Indemnitee believes is inadequate in the present circumstances, and (b) specific contractual assurance of
Indemnitee’s rights to full indemnification against risks and expenses (regardless of, among other things, any amendment
to or revocation of the Charter and/or the Bylaws, any change in the composition of the Corporation’s Board, or a change
in control of the Corporation);

 

     

     

    

 

WHEREAS,
the Corporation intends that this Agreement provide Indemnitee with greater protection than that which is provided by the Bylaws;
and

 

WHEREAS,
in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as an officer of the Corporation, the Corporation has determined and agreed to enter into
this Agreement with Indemnitee.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s service as an officer of the Corporation following the date hereof, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Corporation and Indemnitee
hereby agree as follows:

 

1.         Indemnity
of Indemnitee. The Corporation agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted
by law, the provisions of the Charter, and the Bylaws, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that
such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law, the Charter, or the Bylaws permitted
prior to adoption of such amendment). For purposes of this Agreement, the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent authorized
or permitted by law” shall include, but not be limited to: (i) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provision
of the DGCL that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment
to or replacement of the DGCL or such provision thereof; and (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments
to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify
its directors and officers.

 

2.         Additional
Indemnity. In addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification otherwise provided for herein, and subject only to
the exclusions set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Corporation further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee:

 

(a)       against
any and all (i) expenses (including attorneys’ fees), retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness
fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all
other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute
or defend, investigating, participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual,
threatened or completed proceeding, including any appeal thereof or related thereto (each, a “Proceeding”),
or responding to, or objecting to, a request to provide discovery in any Proceeding, (ii) damages, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement and any other amounts that Indemnitee becomes legally obligated to pay (including any federal, state or local
taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of receipt of reimbursements or advances of expenses under this Agreement) and (iii) the
premium, security for, and other costs relating to any costs bond, supersedes bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent, whether
civil, criminal, arbitrational, administrative or investigative with respect to any Proceeding (items under clauses, (i), (ii)
and (iii), collectively, the “Expenses”) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s
behalf, because of any claim or claims made against or by him in connection with any Proceeding, whether formal or informal (including
an action by or in the right of the Corporation), to which Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party or a witness, or
is threatened to be made a party to, a participant in or a witness with respect to, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is,
was or at any time becomes a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request
of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (“Corporate
Status”);

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

(b)       against
any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, if Indemnitee is, or is
threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor;

 

(c)       against
any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, if Indemnitee is, by reason
of his or her Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party and is not threatened to be made
a party; and

 

(d)       otherwise
to the fullest extent as may be provided to Indemnitee by the Corporation under the nonexclusivity provisions of the DGCL, the
Charter and the Bylaws.

 

3.         Limitations
on Additional Indemnity. No indemnity pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by the Corporation:

 

(a)       on
account of any claim or Proceeding against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee
of securities of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as heretofore
or hereafter amended (the “Exchange Act”), or similar provisions of any federal, state or local law if the
final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction finds Indemnitee to be liable for disgorgement under Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act;

 

(b)       on
account of Indemnitee’s conduct that is established by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
as knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful misconduct;

 

(c)       for
which payment is actually made to Indemnitee under (i) a valid and collectible insurance policy, including under any policy of
insurance purchased and maintained on Indemnitee’s behalf by the Corporation or (ii) under a valid and enforceable indemnity
clause, bylaw, or agreement, including, but not limited to, an indemnity clause, bylaw, or agreement relating to another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise for which Indemnitee is or was serving as a director or officer at the
request of the Corporation; provided, that indemnity pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by the Corporation
in respect of any excess beyond payment actually received by Indemnitee under such insurance policy, clause, bylaw or agreement;

 

(d)       if
and to the extent indemnification is contrary to law, either as a matter of public policy, or under the provisions of the Federal
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the DGCL, or any other applicable law; or

 

(e)       in
connection with any Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee, against the Corporation or its directors, officers,
employees or other agents, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the Corporation has joined
in the Proceeding (or relevant part thereof), (iii) the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding, (iv) such indemnification
is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the DGCL, or (v)
the Proceeding (or relevant part thereof) is initiated pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

4.         Continuation
of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Corporation contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee
is a director or officer of the Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee
shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrational,
administrative or investigative, including any appeal thereof or relating thereto, in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights
of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder, in each case, by reason of the fact of the Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status.

 

5.         Partial
Indemnification. Indemnitee shall be entitled under this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for a portion of
the Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts that Indemnitee becomes legally obligated
to pay in connection with any Proceeding referred to in Section 2 hereof even if not entitled hereunder to indemnification
for the total amount thereof, and the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 

6.         Notification
and Defense of Claim. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written
request therefor. As soon as practicable, and in any event, not later than thirty (30) days after Indemnitee becomes aware, by
written or other overt communication, of any pending or threatened litigation, claim or assessment, Indemnitee will, if a claim
for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Corporation under this Agreement, notify the Corporation of such
pending or threatened litigation, claim or assessment; but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve the Corporation
from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Corporation
shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. With respect to any such
pending or threatened litigation, claim or assessment as to which Indemnitee notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof:

 

(a)       the
Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;

 

(b)       except
as otherwise provided below, the Corporation may, at its option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified
and electing to assume such defense, assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice
from the Corporation to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof
except for reasonable costs of investigation or otherwise as provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in such Proceeding but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption
of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized
by the Corporation, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, and so notified the Corporation, that there may be a conflict
of interest between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (iii) the Corporation shall
not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of Indemnitee in connection with such action; in any of such cases the
fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not
be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Corporation or as to which Indemnitee shall
have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above; and

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

(c)       the
Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action
or claim effected without the Corporation’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. The Corporation shall not enter into any settlement in connection with a Proceeding in any manner which would impose
any Expenses, penalties (whether civil or criminal) or limitations on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent, which
may be given or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole and reasonable discretion.

 

7.         Expenses.
The Corporation shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with any Proceeding promptly following request therefor, but in any event no later than twenty (20) days after the
receipt by the Corporation of a written statement or statements requesting such advances (which shall include invoices received
by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references
to legal work performed or to expenditure made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall
not be included with the invoice) from time to time, whether prior to or after the final disposition of any Proceeding. The right
to advancement described in this Section 7 is vested. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be
made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement
to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. The execution and delivery to the Corporation of this Agreement
shall constitute an undertaking by Indemnitee to the fullest extent required by law to repay all advances if and to the extent
that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation, and Indemnitee shall qualify for advances immediately upon such execution and delivery.
The right to advances under this Section 7 shall in all events continue until final disposition of any Proceeding, including
any appeal therein.

 

8.         Contribution.

 

(a)       Whether
or not the indemnification provided in Section 2 is available, in respect of any Proceeding in which the Corporation is
jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Corporation shall pay, in the first instance, the
entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and
the Corporation hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Corporation shall
not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined
in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

 

(b)       Without
diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Corporation set forth in Section 8(a), if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall
elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding
in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Corporation shall contribute
to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable
by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Corporation and all officers, directors or employees of the
Corporation, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the
one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose; provided, however,
that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted
by reference to the relative fault of the Corporation and all officers, directors or employees of the Corporation other than Indemnitee
who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other
hand, in connection with the events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other
equitable considerations which the law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Corporation and all officers, directors
or employees of the Corporation, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the
degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability
is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(c)       The
Corporation hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought
by officers, directors or employees of the Corporation, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

 

(d)To
the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee
for any reason whatsoever, the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or
for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed
fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received
by the Corporation and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or
(ii) the relative fault of the Corporation (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with
such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

 

9.         Presumptions
and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

 

(a)       In
making a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity
making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 6 hereof. If
the Corporation contests any claim or assertion that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Corporation shall,
to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome such presumption in connection with the making
by such person, persons, or entity of any determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification.

 

(b)       Without
limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding is disposed of on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice),
without (i) the final disposition being adverse to Indemnitee, (ii) a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction
that Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty (iv) a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction
that Indemnitee did not act in good faith, and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, or (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction
that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the
purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.

 

(c)       The
termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely
affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal
Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

(d)       For
purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith to the extent Indemnitee relied
in good faith on (i) the records or books of account of the Corporation, including financial statements , (ii) information supplied
to Indemnitee by the officers of the Corporation in the course of their duties, (iii) the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation
or its Board or counsel selected by any committee of the Board or (iv ) information or records given or reports made to the Corporation
by an independent certified public accountant, an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable care by
the Corporation or its Board or any committee of the Board.

 

10.       Information
Sharing. To the extent that the Corporation receives a request or requests from a governmental third party or other licensing
or regulating organization (the “Requesting Agency”), whether formal or informal, to produce documentation
or other information concerning an investigation, whether formal or informal, being conducted by the Requesting Agency, and such
investigation is reasonably likely to include review of any actions or failures to act by Indemnitee, the Corporation shall promptly
give notice to Indemnitee of said request or requests and any subsequent request. In addition, the Corporation shall provide Indemnitee
with a copy of any and all information or documentation that the Corporation shall provide to the Requesting Agency.

 

11.       No
Imputation. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Corporation
or the Corporation itself shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any rights under this Agreement.

 

12.       Enforcement.

 

(a)       Any
right to indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement to Indemnitee shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Indemnitee
in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, (ii) no
disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor; (iii) advancement of Expenses is not timely
made pursuant to Section 7, (iv) payment of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is not made within ten (10) days
after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (v) the Corporation or any other person
or entity takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation
or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided
to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware Court of Chancery of Indemnitee’s
entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses, and the Corporation shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right
to seek any such adjudication in accordance with this Agreement. Indemnitee, in such enforcement action, if successful in whole
or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the Expenses of prosecuting Indemnitee’s claim. It shall be a defense to any
action for which a claim for indemnification is made under Section 2 hereof (other than an action brought to enforce a
claim for advance or reimbursement of Expenses under this Agreement, provided that the required undertaking has been tendered
to the Corporation) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification because of the limitations set forth in Section 3
hereof. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, any committee of the Board, or the Corporation’s its
stockholders, or any subgroup of such directors or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
enforcement action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation
(including the Board, any committee of the Board, or the Corporation’s stockholders, or any subgroup of such directors or
stockholders) that such indemnification is improper shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(b)       To the fullest extend not prohibited by law, the Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced
pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable
and shall stipulate in any such court that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. If a determination
shall have been made pursuant to this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound
by such determination in any Proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee
of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statements not materially misleading,
in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

 

13.       Subrogation.
In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure
such rights and to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

14.       NonExclusivity
of Rights. The rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which Indemnitee
may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Charter or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors,
or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office.
To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement
of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter or Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto
that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change, subject to the restrictions expressly
set forth herein or therein. Except as expressly set forth herein, no right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as expressly set forth herein, the assertion
or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other right or remedy.

 

15.       Insurance.
To the extent that the Corporation maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, trustees,
general partners, managing members, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Corporation, Indemnitee shall be covered
by such policy or policies (including with respect to prior service) to the same extent as the most favorablyinsured persons under
such policy or policies in a comparable position.

 

16.       Enforcement;
Survival of Rights.

 

(a)       The
Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that the Corporation has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed
on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director of the Corporation, and the Corporation acknowledges that Indemnitee
is relying upon this Agreement in serving the Corporation in such capacity.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

(b)       The
rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to be a director or officer of the
Corporation or to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

 

(c)       The
Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

 

(d)       The
Corporation and Indemnitee agree herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate,
impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee and the Corporation irreparable
harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that each of the Corporation and the Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking
injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that
by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, they shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief
to which they may be entitled. The Corporation and Indemnitee further agree that they shall be entitled to such specific performance
and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the
necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Corporation and Indemnitee acknowledge that in the
absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required by the Delaware Court of Chancery, and they hereby waive any such requirement
of such a bond or undertaking.

 

17.       No
Conflicts.To the extent that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the Charter, the Bylaws, or applicable law,
the Charter, the Bylaws, or such applicable law (as applicable) shall govern.

 

18.       Separability.
Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision
hereof shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, (i) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation,
each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that
is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and such other provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted
by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to
give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect
to the intent manifested thereby. Furthermore, if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its entirety on any ground, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent provided by the Charter (if applicable), the Bylaws,
the DGCL or any other applicable law.

 

19.       Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. The Corporation and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i)
agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in the Delaware Court of
Chancery, (ii) consent to submit to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery for purposes of any action or proceeding

approval by the stockholders of either the Bank or the Company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, with respect to which

Reason unless (i) the termination occurs within one year following the initial existence of one or more of the conditions set forth
above, and (ii) the Executive has first provided the Employer with the opportunity to cure the event or conduct by giving the Employer
a written notice within 90 days of the initial existence of one or more of the conditions set forth above describing in sufficient
detail the Executive’s belief that a Good Reason exists, and the Employer fails to cure the condition prior to the expiration

circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

by the Employer in connection with the conduct of its business.

 

2.2         In
addition to the duties and responsibilities specifically assigned to the Executive pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Executive
must:

 

		(l)	devote substantially all of the Executive’s time,
energy and skill during regular business hours to the performance of the duties of the Executive’s employment (reasonable
vacations and reasonable absences due to illness excepted) and faithfully and industriously perform such duties;

 

		(m)	diligently follow and implement all management policies
and decisions communicated to the Executive by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board; and

 

    	 	4

Executive must devote the Executive’s entire business time, attention and energies to the Business of the Employer and must
not during the Term of this Agreement be engaged (whether or not during normal business hours) in any other business or professional

as preventing the Executive from:

 

(a)          investing

this Agreement shall be extended for one additional year unless written notice that the Agreement will not be extended is provided
to the Executive at least 60 days prior to such Anniversary Date. The initial term and any
extensions thereof made pursuant to this Section 3.1 are referred to as the “Term.” The Employer’s election
not to extend this Agreement shall not constitute termination of the Executive’s employment for purposes of this Agreement,
including termination for Cause, and shall not constitute “Good Reason” in connection with any termination of the Executive’s
employment by the Executive.

The employment of the Executive under this Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the Term only as follows, subject
to the conditions set forth below:

the Employer:

 

(a)          for
Cause at any time, upon written notice to the Executive, including the notice provided for in Section 1.6(c), in which event the
Employer will have no further obligation to the Executive except for the payment of any amounts due and owing under Section 4 on
the effective date of the termination; or

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(b)          without
Cause at any time, upon written notice to the Executive, in which event the Employer will be required to make the termination payments
(i) under Section 3.7(b) if the termination is effective within 12 months following a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise under
Section 3.7(a).

 

3.2.2       By
the Executive:

 

(a)          for
Good Reason as provided in Section 1.13, in which event the Employer will be required to make the termination payments (i) under
Section 3.7(b) if the termination is effective within 12 months following a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise under Section 3.7(a);
or

 

(b)          without
Good Reason, in which event the Employer will have no further obligation to the Executive except for payment of any amounts due
and owing under Section 4 on the effective date of the termination.

 

3.2.3      By
the Executive within 12 months following a Change in Control; provided that the Executive gives at least 30 days’ prior written
notice to the Employer of the Executive’s intention to terminate employment with such resignation to be effective immediately
at the end of such 30-day period, in which event the Employer will have no further obligation to the Executive except for payment
of any amounts due and owing under Section 4 on the effective date of the termination.

 

3.2.4      At any
time upon mutual, written agreement of the parties, in which event the Employer will have no further obligation to the Executive
except for the payment of any amounts due and owing under Section 4 on the effective date of termination unless otherwise set forth
in the written agreement.

 

3.2.5      Immediately
upon the Executive’s death, in which event the Employer will have no further obligation to the Executive except for the payment
of any amounts due and owing under Section 4 on the effective date of termination. Additionally in such event, all of the Executive’s
stock awards and stock options shall immediately vest upon the effective date of such termination.

 

3.2.6      By
either the Employer or the Executive upon the Permanent Disability of the Executive, in which event the Employer will be required
to make the termination payments under Section 3.7(c).

 

3.3          Effect
of Termination. Termination of the employment of the Executive pursuant to Section 3.2 will be without prejudice to any right
or claim that may have previously accrued to either the Employer or the Executive hereunder and will not terminate, alter, supersede
or otherwise affect the terms and covenants and the rights and duties prescribed in this Agreement.

 

3.4         Suspension
With Pay. Nothing contained herein will preclude the Employer from releasing the Executive of the Executive’s normal
duties and suspending the Executive, with pay, during the pendency of any investigation or examination to determine whether or
not Cause exists for termination of the Executive.

 

    	 	6

affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Employer’s
obligations under this Agreement will be suspended as of the date of service thereof, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings.
If the charges in such notice are dismissed, the Employer may in its sole discretion:

the Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended; and/or

under this Agreement will be terminated, except, to the extent determined that continuation of the Agreement is necessary for the
continued operation of the Bank:

 

(i)          by
the Director (the “Director”) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or his or her designee,
at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act; or

 

(ii)         by
the Director or his or her designee, at the time the Director or his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems
relating to the operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. 

 

(b)          If
any payment hereunder is determined to violate any regulatory requirement applicable to the Employer, the Employer may decline
to make such payment or amend the amount or timing of such payment to comply with such regulatory requirements.

 

3.7         Termination
Payments.

 

(a)          
In the event and only in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b)
or by the Executive pursuant to Section 3.2.2(a) and a Change in Control has not occurred, then, in addition to any amounts
due and owing to the Executive under Section 4, commencing with the first payroll date immediately
following the effective date of such termination the Employer will pay to the Executive as severance pay and liquidated damages
a monthly amount equal to 1/12th of the sum of (i) the Executive’s average
Base Salary (as defined below) during the current and two prior fiscal years and (ii) the average bonus paid to the Executive by
the Employer (not including the payment provided for under Section 4.1(a)(ii)) during the current and two prior fiscal years, in
accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll practices for a period equal to the greater
of (A) the remaining Term or (B) one year. 

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(b)          In
the event and only in the event that a Change in Control has occurred and within 12 months of such Change in Control the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Employer pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b) or by the Executive pursuant to Section 3.2.2(a), the Executive
shall be entitled to payment of any amounts due and owing to the Executive under Section 4 on the effective date of such
termination and a lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of (i) the Executive’s average
Base Salary (as defined below) during the current and two prior fiscal years and (ii) the average bonus paid to the Executive by
the Employer (not including the payment provided for under Section 4.1(a)(ii)) during the current and two prior fiscal years, and
shall be paid such lump sum payment by the Employer within ten days of the effective date of termination of employment. In addition:
(i) all of the Executive’s stock awards shall immediately vest; (ii) all of the Executive’s unexercised stock options
shall become immediately exercisable; and (iii) Employer shall continue the Executive’s medical coverage for a period of
18 months following the Executive’s termination at the same level as available to employees of the Employer.

 

(c)          In
the event and only in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Employer or the Executive pursuant to
Section 3.2.6, then the Employer will pay to the Executive any amounts due and owing under Section 4 on the effective date of termination
and, commencing with the first payroll date immediately following the effective date of such termination, the Employer will pay
to the Executive as severance pay and liquidated damages: (i) a one-time payment of an amount equal to the greater of the Executive’s
target or actual bonus for the year in which employment terminates, pro-rated for the months elapsed in the annual bonus period
at the time employment terminates; and (ii) a monthly amount equal to 1/12th of the Executive’s then-current Base
Salary (as defined below) in accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll practices for a period equal to the lesser of
(A) the remaining Term or (B) the date on which the Executive begins to receive payments under any disability insurance or other
program maintained by the Employer. The Employer will also continue all health, dental, vision and disability insurance, profit-sharing
plans, retirement, and all other benefits that the Executive was receiving at the time the Executive’s employment is terminated
pursuant to Section 3.2.6 or pay to the executive, in accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll practices, the value
thereof for a period equal to the lesser of (i) the remaining Term or (ii) the date on which the Executive begins to receive payments
under any disability insurance or other program maintained by the Employer. Additionally in such event, all of the Executive’s
stock awards shall immediately vest and all of the Executive’s unexercised stock options shall become immediately exercisable.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, no amount payable under
Section 3.7(a), (b) or (c) shall be paid before the date that is six months after the effective date of termination of employment,
or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death, except to the extent that this Agreement may permit payments within that
period without causing any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement to be included in the Executive’s gross income pursuant
to Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code prior to the year in which the payments are received by the Executive. Any payment deferred
under this Section 3.7(d) shall be paid on the Employer’s first normal payroll date after the six-month date or the date
of the Executive’s death, as applicable.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

3.8         Calculation
of Payment Amount; Certain Adjustments of Payment Amount. If it is determined that any payment or distribution by the
Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or otherwise) is subject to the limitations of Section 280G of the Code (a “Parachute Payment”),
the following provisions will apply:

 

(a)          If the aggregate present
value of Parachute Payments is less than or equal to the 280G limit, then no adjustment to the amount of such Parachute Payments
shall be made.

 

(b)          If
the aggregate present value of Parachute Payments is greater than the 280G limit, such Parachute Payments shall be reduced to an
amount, the present value of which maximizes the aggregate present value of Parachute Payments without causing such Parachute Payments
to exceed the 280G limit.

 

For purposes of this Section 3.8,
“present value” shall be determined in accordance with Code Section 280G(d)(4), and the “280G limit” is
the amount that can be paid under this Agreement or otherwise without causing any amount to be nondeductible under Code Section
280G or subject to excise tax under Code Section 4999.

 

4.     COMPENSATION
AND BENEFITS.

 

4.1         Compensation.
The Executive will receive the following salary and benefits:

 

(q)         Base
Salary and Signing Bonus.

 

(i)          During
the Term, the Executive will receive a base salary at the rate of $275,000 per annum, payable in substantially equal installments
in accordance with the Bank’s regular payroll practices (“Base Salary”). The Executive’s Base Salary will
be reviewed by the Board (or a committee of the Board comprised solely of disinterested members, hereinafter the “Committee”)
annually, and the Executive will be entitled to receive annually an increase in such amount, if any, as may be determined by the
Board or the Committee. 

 

(ii)         The
Employer will make a cash payment of $30,000 to the Executive in accordance with the Bank’s regular payroll practices on

“Incentive Compensation”:

will grant the Executive on the next available grant date restricted stock units with respect to 10,000 shares of its common stock,
with such grant vesting equally over three years commencing on first anniversary of the Effective Date and continuing for the next
two anniversaries of the Effective Date. Employer will take such action as may be necessary to cause the Company to issue such
restricted stock units, provided, however, that there are sufficient shares of common stock available for issuance under the Employer’s
Equity Incentive Plan and the issuance of such restricted stock units is registered or exempt from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933. In the event the Executive is terminated for Cause or voluntarily terminates his employment with the Employer without
Good Reason, the Executive shall not receive, and have no rights to, any restricted stock units granted hereunder but not vested
as of the date of such termination.

Expenses; Memberships. The Employer agrees to reimburse the Executive for (a) reasonable business (including travel) expenses
incurred by the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder and (b) the dues and business related
expenditures, including initiation fees, associated with membership in professional associations which are commensurate with the
Executive’s position; provided, however, that the Executive must, as a condition of reimbursement, submit verification of
the nature and amount of such expenses in accordance with reimbursement policies from time to time adopted by the Employer and
in sufficient detail to comply with rules and regulations promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

4.3          Vacation.
On a non-cumulative basis the Executive will be entitled to vacation in each year of this Agreement in accordance with the Bank’s
vacation policy as then in effect, during which the Executive’s Base Salary will be paid in full.

 

4.4          Benefits.

5.     COMPANY
INFORMATION.

 

5.1         Ownership
of Information. All Company Information received or developed by the Executive while employed by the Employer will remain the
sole and exclusive property of the Employer.

 

5.2         Obligations
of the Executive. The Executive agrees (a) to hold Company Information in strictest confidence, (b) not to use, duplicate,
reproduce, distribute, disclose or otherwise disseminate Company Information or any physical embodiments thereof and (c) not to
take or fail to take any action with respect to Confidential Information that would result in any Company Information losing its
character or ceasing to qualify as Confidential Information or a Trade Secret. In the event that the Executive is required by law
to disclose any Company Information, the Executive will not make such disclosure unless (and then only to the extent that) the
Executive has been advised by the Company’s legal counsel that such disclosure is required by law and then only after prior
written notice is given to the Employer when the Executive becomes aware that such disclosure has been requested and is required
by law. This Section 5 will survive the termination of employment with respect to Confidential Information for so long as it remains
Confidential Information, but for no longer than three (3) years following termination of employment, and this Section 5 will
survive termination of employment with respect to Trade Secrets for so long as is permitted by the then-current Maryland Trade
Secrets Act.

 

5.3          Delivery
upon Request or Termination. Upon request by the Employer, and in any event upon termination of employment with the Employer,
the Executive will promptly deliver to the Employer all property belonging to the Employer, including without limitation, all Company
Information then in the Executive’s possession or control.

 

6.     NON-COMPETITION.
The Executive agrees that during the Term hereunder and, in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment, by the
Employer for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, during the period of one (1) year from and after the effective date
of such termination, the Executive will not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Employer), within the
Area, either directly or indirectly, on the Executive’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, as a principal,
partner, officer, director, manager, supervisor, administrator, consultant, executive employee or in any other capacity which involves
duties and responsibilities similar to those undertaken for the Employer, engage in any business which is the same as or essentially
the same as the Business of the Employer. In the event that the employment relationship is terminated by the Employer without Cause
or by the Executive for Good Reason, the duration of the non-competition obligation set forth in this Paragraph 6 shall be equal
to the number of months of any severance pay and/or liquidated damages that the Employer may, in its sole discretion, pay to the
Executive.

7.     NON-SOLICITATION

behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, directly
or by assisting others, any business from any of the Employer’s customers, including actively sought prospective customers,

or on behalf of others, solicit, recruit or hire away or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire away, directly or by assisting others,
any employee of the Employer, whether or not such employee is a full-time employee or a temporary employee of the Employer and
whether or not such employment is pursuant to written agreement and whether or not such employment is for a determined period or
is at will.

 

9.     REMEDIES.
The Executive agrees that the covenants contained in Sections 5 through 9 of this Agreement are of the essence of this Agreement;
that each of the covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect the business, interests and properties of the Employer; and that
irreparable loss and damage will be suffered by the Employer should the Executive breach any of the covenants. Therefore, the Executive
agrees and consents that, in addition to all the remedies provided by law or in equity, the Employer will be entitled to a temporary
restraining order and temporary and permanent injunctions to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of any of the covenants. The
Employer and the Executive agree that all remedies available to the Employer or the Executive, as applicable, will be cumulative.

 

10.   SEVERABILITY.
The parties agree that each of the provisions included in this Agreement is separate, distinct and severable from the other provisions
of this Agreement and that the invalidity or unenforceability of any Agreement provision will not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement. Further, if any provision of this Agreement is ruled invalid or unenforceable by a court
of competent jurisdiction because of a conflict between the provision and any applicable law or public policy, the provision will
be redrawn to make the provision consistent with and valid and enforceable under the law or public policy.

 

11.   NO
SET-OFF BY THE EXECUTIVE. The existence of any claim, demand, action or cause of action by the Executive against the Employer,
or any Affiliate of the Employer, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement
by the Employer of any of its rights hereunder.
