     In consideration of the granting of this Option by the Company, the Director agrees to render
faithful and efficient services to the Company or a Subsidiary, with such duties and
responsibilities as the Company shall from time to time prescribe, until the next annual meeting of

Director at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause.

Section 2.4. Adjustments in Option

     (a) In the event that the outstanding shares of the Common Stock subject to the Option are changed
into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the Company or other securities of
the Company, or of another corporation, by reason of reorganization, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, stock dividend or combination of shares, the
Administrator shall make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the number and kind of shares
as to which the Option, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable, to the end that
after such event the Director’s proportionate interest shall be maintained as before the occurrence
of such event. Such adjustment in the Option may include any necessary corresponding adjustment in
the Option price per share, but shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the
unexercised portion of the Option (except for any change in the aggregate price resulting from
rounding-off of share quantities or prices). Any such adjustment made by the Administrator shall

vary among Options held by any individual Director:

thereunder shall terminate;
	 
	 	•	 	require the mandatory surrender to the Company by selected Directors of
some or all of the outstanding Options held by such Directors (irrespective
of whether such Options are then exercisable under the provisions of the
Plan), in which event the Administrator shall thereupon cancel such Options
and cause the Company to pay to each Director an amount of cash per share
equal to the excess, if any, of the Change of Control Value of the shares
subject to such Option over the exercise price(s) under such Options for
such shares; or
	 
	 	•	 	make such adjustments to Options then outstanding as the Administrator
deems appropriate to reflect such Company Change (provided, however, that
the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment
is necessary to Options then outstanding), including, without limitation,
adjusting an Option to provide that the number and class of shares of
Common Stock covered by such Option shall be adjusted so that such Option
shall thereafter cover securities of the surviving or acquiring corporation
or other property (including, without limitation, cash).

or regulation; and (b) shall not engage in any business or activity contrary to the business
affairs or interests of the Bank or any of the Bank’s affiliates; provided, further, that the Bank

11. Restrictive Covenants.

	 	a.	 	The Officer acknowledges and agrees that, through employment with CNB and the
Bank, the Officer has acquired and shall acquire a considerable amount of knowledge and
goodwill with respect to the borrowers, depositors and other customers of the Bank and
the business of the Bank and its affiliates, which knowledge and goodwill are extremely
valuable to the Bank and would be extremely detrimental to the Bank if used by the
Officer to divert business from the Bank or to solicit business from any of such
borrowers, depositors or other customers. The Officer therefore recognizes and
acknowledges, because of the nature of the business of the Bank and because of the
position of responsibility that the Officer has occupied with CNB and the position of
responsibility that the Officer will occupy with the Bank, it is necessary to afford
fair protection to the Bank. The Officer further recognizes and acknowledges that the
names and other identifying information of the Bank’s borrowers, depositors and other
customers are special and unique assets of the Bank. Consequently, as a material
inducement to the Bank to pay the Officer the Restrictive Covenant Consideration set
forth in Section 11.d, the Officer hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

	 	i.	 	During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of three
(3) years thereafter, and except if the Officer is acting for the benefit of
the Bank in connection with the Bank’s business and in accordance with the
Bank’s business practices and employee policies, as determined from time to
time by the Bank, the Officer shall not, directly or indirectly, in any
capacity whatsoever, whether as a proprietor, partner, investor or stockholder,
director, officer, employee, consultant, independent contractor, co-venturer,
financier, employer, agent, representative or otherwise participate in any bank
holding company, bank, savings association, savings and loan holding company,
or mortgage company (any of which, a “Financial Institution”), which Financial
Institution offers products or services competing with those offered by the
Bank or any affiliate of the Bank from offices in any county in the State of
Maryland or the Commonwealth of Virginia or from offices in the District of
Columbia;
	 
	 	ii.	 	During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of three
(3) years thereafter, the Officer shall not, whether as proprietor, partner,
investor or stockholder, director, officer, employee, consultant, independent
contractor, co-venturer, financier, employer, agent, representative or
otherwise for or on behalf of a Financial Institution (i) solicit (or attempt
to solicit) any banking business from, or interfere with (or attempt to
interfere with) the relationship of the Bank or any affiliate of the Bank
with, any person or entity known to the Officer to be a borrower, depositor
or other customer of the Bank, or (ii) hire, engage, employ or contract
with, or attempt to hire, engage, employ or contract with, any individual
who is an employee or independent contractor of the Bank or any affiliate of
the Bank and shall not interfere with the relationship of the Bank or any
affiliate of the Bank and any of their employees, agents, or
representatives; and

3

 

	 	iii.	 	Both during and at any time after the term of this Agreement,
the Officer shall maintain in strict confidence any and all information
concerning the operation or financial status of the Bank and the Bank’s
affiliates; the names or addresses of any of their borrowers, depositors and
other customers; any information concerning or obtained from such customers;
and any other information concerning the Bank or the Bank’s affiliates to which
the Officer may be exposed in connection with the acquisition of CNB by the
Bank or during the course of his employment by CNB or the Bank. The Officer
further agrees that, unless required by law or specifically permitted by the
Bank in writing, the Officer will not disclose to any person or entity, either
during or subsequent to the Officer’s employment, any of the above-mentioned
information which is not generally known to the public, nor shall the Officer
employ such information in any way other than for the benefit of the Bank.

	 	b.	 	Nothing contained in Section 11.a shall preclude the Officer from owning a 3%
or less equity interest in any Financial Institution, taking into account for purposes
of determining such threshold any equity interest held by the spouse, children,
grandchildren or siblings of the Officer, but only if the Officer is not an officer,
director or employee of such Financial Institution and does not otherwise provide any
services to or on behalf of such Financial Institution.
	 
	 	c.	 	For all purposes of this Agreement, the term “affiliate” shall mean any legal
entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, the Bank.
	 
	 	d.	 	In consideration of, and subject to the Officer’s full and complete compliance
with all of the provisions of Section 11.a, the Bank shall pay the Officer Restrictive
Covenant Consideration in the aggregate amount of $275,000. Such amount shall be
payable in 36 equal monthly installments of $7,638.89 each on the last day of each
month commencing on the last day of the first full month after the term of this
Agreement; provided, that in the event of a breach of any of the Officer’s obligations
under Section 11.a, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other remedies that
may be available to the Bank with respect to such breach, the Bank shall not be
required to pay, and may withhold the payment of, any unpaid installments of the
Restrictive Covenant Consideration.

4

 

	 	e.	 	The Officer has carefully read the provisions of this Section 11 and (i)
understands and acknowledges that such provisions are a material inducement on the part
of the Bank to pay the Restrictive Covenant Consideration, to which the Officer would
not otherwise be entitled, and (ii) agrees that the restrictions set forth in this
Section 11 are reasonable and reasonably required for the protection of the Bank and
its stockholders.
	 
	 	f.	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of
this Section 11, and the rights and obligations of the Bank (and any successor to the
Bank) and the Officer under this Section 11, shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and shall survive the occurrence of a Change of Control.

12. Termination and Termination Pay. Subject to Section 13 of this Agreement, the
Officer’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated in the following circumstances:

	 	a.	 	Death. The Officer’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate
upon the Officer’s death during the term of this Agreement, in which event the
Officer’s estate shall be entitled to receive the compensation due to the Officer
through the last day of the calendar month in which the Officer’s death occurred.
	 
	 	b.	 	Disability. The Bank or the Officer may terminate the Officer’s
employment after having established the Officer’s Disability. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Disability” means a physical or mental infirmity that impairs the Officer’s
ability to substantially perform duties assigned to the Officer under this Agreement
and that results in the Officer’s becoming eligible for long-term disability benefits
under the Bank’s long-term disability plan (or, if the Bank has no such plan in effect,
that impairs the Officer’s ability to substantially perform duties assigned to the
Officer under this Agreement for a period of 180 consecutive days). In the event of
such Disability, the Officer’s obligation to perform services under this Agreement will
terminate. In the event of such termination, the Officer shall be entitled to receive
the following:

	 	i.	 	The compensation and benefits provided for under this Agreement
for any period during the term of this Agreement and prior to the date of
termination pursuant to this Section 12.b. during which the Officer is unable
to work due to physical or mental infirmity (less any amounts which the Officer
receives under any disability insurance maintained by the Bank with respect to
such period); and
	 
	 	ii.	 	For the period beginning upon the date of termination pursuant
to this Section 12.b. and continuing for the remaining term of this Agreement,
salary at the rate specified in Section 5 of this Agreement, reduced by any
payments received by the Officer during such period following termination under
a long term disability plan or policy maintained by the Bank.

5

 

     The Board shall determine whether or not the Officer is and continues to be permanently
disabled for purposes of this Agreement in good faith, based upon competent
medical advice and other factors that it reasonably believes to be relevant. As a condition
to any benefits, such Board may require the Officer to submit to such physical or mental
evaluations and tests as it deems reasonably appropriate.

	 	c.	 	Just Cause.

	 	i.	 	The Board may, by written notice to the Officer in the form and
manner specified in this paragraph, immediately terminate the Officer’s
employment with the Bank at any time for Just Cause. The Officer shall have no
right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after
termination for Just Cause. Termination for “Just Cause” shall mean
termination because of, in the good faith determination of the Board, the
Officer’s:

	 	(1)	 	Personal dishonesty;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Willful misconduct;
	 
	 	(3)	 	Breach of fiduciary duty involving personal
profit;
	 
	 	(4)	 	Intentional failure to perform duties under
this Agreement;
	 
	 	(5)	 	Other, continuing material failure to perform
duties assigned to the Officer under this Agreement after reasonable
notification (which shall be stated in writing and given at least
fifteen days prior to termination) by the Board of such failure;
	 
	 	(6)	 	Willful violation of any law, rule or
regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final
cease-and-desist order; or
	 
	 	(7)	 	Material breach by the Officer of any provision
of this Agreement.

	 	ii.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Officer shall not be deemed
to have been terminated for Just Cause unless there shall have been delivered
to the Officer a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of
not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting
called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to the Officer and an
opportunity for the Officer to be heard before the Board), finding that in the
good faith opinion of the Board the Officer was guilty of conduct described
above and specifying the particulars thereof.
	 
	 	iii.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expected that the Officer
will perform all duties and agreements to be performed herein, and the Officer
shall have the right to cure non-performance, to the extent such performance is
reasonably capable of being cured, and shall promptly upon receipt of written
notice of non-performance, comply with the requirements of such notice, and
further if the Officer shall not comply with such notice to the satisfaction of
the Bank within 48 hours after delivery thereof, (except if such compliance
cannot be reasonably completed within 48 hours, if Officer shall not
commence to comply within such period and thereafter proceed to completion
with due diligence) the Bank shall have the right to proceed with the Board
meeting specified in the preceding paragraph.

6

 

	 	d.	 	Certain Regulatory Events.

	 	i.	 	If the Officer is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under
Sections 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) (12
U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Bank under this
Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested
rights of the parties shall not be affected.
	 
	 	ii.	 	If the Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of
FDIA), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of
the date of default, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected.
	 
	 	iii.	 	If a notice served under Sections 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the FDIA
(12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)) suspends and/or temporarily prohibits the
Officer from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs, the Bank’s
obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of such
service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the
notice are dismissed, the Bank may, in its discretion, (i) pay the Officer all
or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were
suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations
which were suspended.

     The occurrence of any of the events described in paragraphs i, ii, and iii above may be
considered by the Board in connection with a termination for Just Cause.

	 	e.	 	Voluntary Termination by Officer. In addition to the Officer’s other
rights to terminate under this Agreement, the Officer may voluntarily terminate
employment with the Bank during the term of this Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior
written notice to the Bank, in which case the Officer shall receive only compensation,
vested rights and employee benefits up to the date of termination.
	 
	 	f.	 	Without Just Cause or With Good Reason.

	 	i.	 	In addition to termination pursuant to Section 12.a. through
12.e., the Board may, by written notice to the Officer, immediately terminate
the Officer’s employment with the Bank at any time for a reason other than Just
Cause (a termination “Without Just Cause”); and the Officer may, by written
notice to the Board, immediately terminate this Agreement at any time within 90
days following an event of “Good Reason” as defined below (a termination “With
Good Reason”).

7

 

	 	ii.	 	In the event of termination under this Section 12.f., the
Officer shall be entitled to receive a termination payment equal to the annual
salary that the Officer would have received for the remaining term of the
Agreement, plus any unpaid cash bonuses approved as of the date of termination.
The sum due under this Section 12.f. shall be paid in one lump sum within 10
calendar days of such termination.
	 
	 	iii.	 	“Good Reason” shall exist if, without the Officer’s express
written consent, the Bank materially breaches any of its obligations under this
Agreement. Without limitation, such a material breach shall be deemed to occur
upon any of the following:

	 	(1)	 	A material reduction in the Officer’s
responsibilities or authority in connection with the Officer’s
employment with the Bank;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Assignment to the Officer of duties of a
nonexecutive nature or duties for which the Officer is not reasonably
equipped by his skills and experience;
	 
	 	(3)	 	A reduction in salary or benefits contrary to
the terms of this Agreement, or, following a Change in Control as
defined in Section 11 of this Agreement, any reduction in salary or
material reduction in benefits below the amounts to which the Officer
was entitled prior to the Change in Control;
	 
	 	(4)	 	Termination of incentive and benefit plans,
programs, or arrangements, or reduction of the Officer’s participation
to such an extent as to materially reduce their aggregate value below
their aggregate value as of the Commencement Date;
	 
	 	(5)	 	A requirement that the Officer’s principal
business office or principal place of residence be relocated outside
Anne Arundel County, Maryland, or the assignment to the Officer of
duties that would reasonably require such a relocation;
	 
	 	(6)	 	A requirement that the Officer spend more than
thirty normal working days away from Anne Arundel County, Maryland; or
	 
	 	(7)	 	Failure to provide office facilities,
secretarial services, and other administrative services to Officer
which are substantially equivalent to the facilities and services
provided to the Officer on the Commencement Date (excluding brief
periods during which office facilities may be temporarily unavailable
due to fire, natural disaster, or other calamity).

8

 

	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expected that the Bank will perform all
agreements on its part to be performed herein, and the Bank shall have
the right to cure non-performance, to the extent such performance is
reasonably capable of being cured, and shall promptly upon receipt of
written notice of non-performance, comply with the requirement of such
notice, and further if Bank shall not comply with such notice to the
satisfaction of the Officer within 48 hours after delivery thereof, (except
if such compliance cannot be reasonably completed within 48 hours, if the
Bank shall not commence to comply within such period and thereafter proceed
to completion with due diligence) the Officer shall have the right to
proceed with notice of a “With Good Reason” termination as specified above.
	 
	 	iv.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) a reduction or elimination
of the Officer’s benefits under one or more benefit plans maintained by the
Bank as part of a good faith, overall reduction or elimination of such plan or
plans or benefits thereunder applicable to all participants in a manner that
does not discriminate against the Officer (except as such discrimination may be
necessary to comply with law) shall not constitute an event of Good Reason or a
material breach of this Agreement, provided that benefits of the type or to the
general extent as those offered under such plans prior to such reduction or
elimination are not available to other officers of the Bank or any company that
controls the Bank under a plan or plans in or under which the Officer is not
entitled to participate, and receive benefits, on a fair and nondiscriminatory
basis; and (B) a requirement that the Officer report to and be subject to the
direction or supervision of a senior officer of the Bank other than the
President and CEO of the Bank shall not constitute an event of Good Reason or a
material breach of this Agreement.

13. Termination in Connection with a Change in Control.

	 	a.	 	For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur
on the earliest of:

	 	i.	 	The acquisition by any entity, person or group (other than the
acquisition by a tax-qualified retirement plan sponsored by Sandy Spring
Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) or the Bank) of beneficial ownership, as that term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of more than
25% of the outstanding capital stock of Bancorp or the Bank entitled to vote
for the election of directors (“Voting Stock”);
	 
	 	ii.	 	The commencement by any entity, person, or group (other than
Bancorp or the Bank or any subsidiary or affiliate of Bancorp or the Bank or a
tax-qualified retirement plan sponsored by Bancorp or the Bank or a subsidiary
or affiliate of Bancorp or the Bank) of a tender offer or an exchange offer for
more than 20% of the outstanding Voting Stock of Bancorp or the Bank;
	 
	 	iii.	 	The effective time of (a) a merger or consolidation of Bancorp
or the Bank with one or more other corporations as a result of which the
holders of the
outstanding Voting Stock of Bancorp or the Bank immediately prior to such
merger exercise voting control over less than 80% of the Voting Stock of the
surviving or resulting corporation, or (b) a transfer of substantially all
of the property of Bancorp or the Bank other than to an entity of which
Bancorp or the Bank owns at least 80% of the Voting Stock;

9

 

	 	iv.	 	Upon the acquisition by any entity, person, or group of the
control of the election of a majority of the Bank’s or Bancorp’s directors; or
	 
	 	v.	 	At such time that, during the term of this Agreement,
individuals who at the beginning of the term of this Agreement constitute the
Board of Directors of Bancorp or the Board (the “Continuing Directors”) cease
for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds thereof, provided that any
individual whose election or nomination for election as a member of the Board
of Directors of Bancorp or the Board was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the Continuing Directors then in office shall be considered a
Continuing Director.

	 	b.	 	Termination. If following a Change of Control that occurs during the
term of this Agreement, (i) the Bank shall terminate the Officer’s employment Without
Just Cause, or (ii) the Officer shall voluntarily terminate his employment (without
regard to whether such voluntary termination would qualify as a termination With Good
Reason), the Officer shall be entitled to receive a termination payment equal to the
annual salary that the Officer would have received for the remaining term of this
Agreement, plus any unpaid cash balances approved as of the date of termination. Such
sum shall be paid within 10 calendar days of such termination. This cash payment shall
be made in lieu of any payment that would also be required under Section 12.f. of this
Agreement by virtue of such termination. The Officer’s rights under Section 12.f. are
not otherwise affected by this Section 13. Also, in the event of such a termination,
the Officer shall, for the remainder of the term of this Agreement, continue to
participate in any benefit plans of Bancorp and the Bank that provide health (including
medical and dental), life or disability insurance, or similar coverage upon terms no
less favorable than the most favorable terms provided to senior management employees of
the Bank during such period.

14. Indemnification and Liability Insurance.

	 	a.	 	Indemnification. The Bank agrees to indemnify the Officer (and the
Officer’s heirs, executors, and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law and regulations against any and all expenses and liabilities reasonably
incurred by the Officer in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or
proceeding in which the Officer may be involved by reason of having been a director or
officer of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or by reason of having been a director
or an officer of County National Bank (whether or not the Officer continues to be a
director or officer at the time of incurring any such expenses or liabilities) such
expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and
attorney’s fees and the cost of reasonable settlements, such settlements to be
approved by the Board.

10

 

	 	 	 	Indemnification for expense shall not extend to matters for
which the Officer has been terminated for Just Cause. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to provide indemnification prohibited by applicable law or regulation.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of this Section 14
shall survive the term of this Agreement by a period of seven years.
	 
	 	b.	 	Insurance. During the period in which indemnification of the Officer is
required under this Section 14, the Bank shall provide the Officer (and the Officer’s
heirs, executors, and administrators) with coverage under a directors’ and officers’
liability policy at the expense of the Bank, at least equivalent to such coverage
provided to directors and senior officers of the Bank, whichever is more favorable to
the Officer.

15. Reimbursement of Officer’s Expenses to Enforce this Agreement. The Bank shall reimburse
the Officer for all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s
fees, incurred by the Officer in connection with successful enforcement by the Officer of the
obligations of the Bank to the Officer under this Agreement up to a maximum of $50,000. Successful
enforcement shall mean the grant of an award of money or the requirement that the Bank take some
action specified by this Agreement (i) as a result of court order; or (ii) otherwise by the Bank
following an initial failure of the Bank to pay such money or take such action promptly after
written demand therefor from the Officer stating the reason that such money or action was due under
this Agreement at or prior to the time of such demand.

16. No Section 4999 Protection. The Officer agrees that he shall have no rights of
indemnification, gross up or reimbursement from the Bank or Bancorp with respect to any loss,
expense, or liability that the Officer may incur under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code
(the “Code”), or any successor provision, as a result of any payments or benefits that the Officer
receives from CNB or the Bank or any successor to any of the Bank’s interests.

17. Injunctive Relief. If there is a breach or threatened breach of Section 11.a., the
Bank and the Officer agree that there is no adequate remedy at law for such breach, and that the
Bank or any affiliate of the Bank affected by such breach or threatened breach each shall be
entitled to injunctive relief restraining the Officer from such breach or threatened breach, but
such relief shall not be the exclusive remedy hereunder for such breach. The parties hereto
likewise agree that the Officer shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the obligations
of the Bank under Section 11.

18. Successors and Assigns.

	 	a.	 	This Agreement shall be assignable to and shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon any corporate or other successor of the Bank which shall acquire, directly
or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, all or substantially
all of the assets or stock of the Bank.
	 
	 	b.	 	Since the Bank is contracting for the unique and personal skills of the
Officer, the Officer’s rights or duties hereunder shall be precluded from assignment or
delegation without first obtaining the written consent of the Bank.

11

 

19. No Mitigation. The Officer shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and no such payment shall
be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to the Officer in any
subsequent employment.

20. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications in connection with
this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered by
hand or 48 hours after mailing at any general or branch United States Post Office, by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows, or to such other address as shall have been
designated in writing by the addressee:

21. No Plan Created by this Agreement. The Officer and the Bank expressly declare and agree
that this Agreement was negotiated among them and that no provision or provisions of this Agreement
are intended to, or shall be deemed to, create any plan for purposes of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act or any other law or regulation, and the Officer and the Bank each expressly
waives any right to assert the contrary. Any assertion in any judicial or administrative filing,
hearing, or process by or on behalf of the Officer or the Bank that such a plan was so created by
this Agreement shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by the party making such an
assertion.

22. Compliance with Tax Law. It is intended that the amounts payable or provided to the
Officer under this Agreement are exempt from the additional tax under Code Section 409A(1)(B). If
either the Bank or the Officer shall determine that any such amount could reasonably be expected to
be subject to such additional tax, the Bank and the Officer shall cooperate in good faith and shall
take such reasonable actions, including the amendment of this Agreement, as may be necessary or
appropriate to comply with Code Section 409A in order to avoid the imposition of such additional
tax.

23. Amendments. No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding unless made
in writing and signed by all of the parties, except as herein otherwise specifically provided.

24. Applicable Law. Except to the extent preempted by Federal law, the laws of the State
of Maryland shall govern this Agreement in all respects, whether as to its validity, construction,
capacity, performance or otherwise.

12

 

25. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
the other provisions hereof.

26. Headings. Headings contained herein are for convenience of reference only.

27. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any understanding or modifications
thereof as agreed to in writing by the parties, shall constitute the entire agreement among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than written agreements with
respect to specific plans, programs, or arrangements described in Sections 6 and 7 and the Amended
and Restated Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan Agreement between the Bank and the Officer of
even date herewith, and supersedes all prior agreements between CNB or the Bank and the Officer
(including, without limitation, the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated August 21,
2006, between CNB and the Officer) other than with respect to such specific plans, programs, or
arrangements.

28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the date first set forth
above.
