 ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW PROCESS 

Section 3.1. Asset Review Notices. Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee in the manner set forth in
Section 7.2(f) of the Indenture, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start an Asset Review. The Asset Representation Reviewer will have no obligation to start an Asset Review unless and until an Asset Review Notice is received. 

Section 3.2. Identification of Asset Review Receivables. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an Asset Review Notice,
the Servicer will deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee a list of the related Asset Review Receivables. 

Section 3.3. Asset Review Materials. 

(a) Access to Asset Review Materials. The Servicer will give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Asset Review Materials for
all of the Asset Review Receivables within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Asset Review Notice in one or more of the following ways: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s lease asset systems, either remotely or at one of the
properties of the Servicer; (ii) by electronic posting to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access; (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at one of the properties of the Servicer where the
Asset Receivable Files are located; or (iv) in another manner agreed by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove Non-Public Personal Information (as defined
in Section 4.8) from the Asset Review Materials so long as such redaction or removal does not change the meaning or usefulness of the Asset Review Materials for purposes of the Asset Review. 

(b) Missing or Insufficient Asset Review Materials. If any of the Asset Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset
Representations Reviewer to perform any Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no less than twenty (20) days before completing the Asset Review, and the Servicer will have fifteen
(15) days to give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to such missing Asset Review Materials or other documents or information to correct the insufficiency. If the missing or insufficient Asset Review Materials have not been provided by
the Servicer within fifteen (15) days, the parties agree that the Asset Review Receivable will have a Test Fail for the related Test(s) and the Test(s) will be considered completed and the Asset Review Report will indicate the reason for the
Test Fail. 
 Section 3.4. Performance of Asset Reviews. 

(a) Test Procedures. For an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform for each Asset Review Receivable the
procedures listed under “Procedures to be Performed” in Schedule A for each representation and warranty (each, a “Test”), using the Asset Review Materials listed for each such Test in Schedule A. For each Test and Asset
Review Receivable, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”) or if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”). 

  
 3 

 (b) Asset Review Period. The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Asset
Review of all of the Asset Review Receivables within sixty (60) days of receiving access to the Asset Review Materials under Section 3.3(a). However, if additional Asset Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer
in accordance with Section 3.3(b), the Asset Review period will be extended for an additional thirty (30) days. 
 (c)
Completion of Asset Review for Certain Asset Review Receivables. Following the delivery of the list of the Asset Review Receivables and before the delivery of the Asset Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may
notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if an Asset Review Receivable is paid in full by the related Obligor or purchased from the Issuer by GM Financial, the Seller or the Servicer according to the Program Documents. On receipt of any such
notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of the related Asset Review Receivables and the Asset Review of such Receivables will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the
Asset Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for the related Asset Review Receivables and the related reason. 
 (d) Previously
Reviewed Receivable. If any Asset Review Receivable was included in a prior Asset Review, then the Asset Representations Reviewer will not perform any Tests on it, but will include the results of the previous Tests in the Asset Review Report for
the current Asset Review, unless (i) any representation or warranty about such Asset Review Receivable that would be subject to a Test as part of the Asset Review relates to a date that is after the date on which the prior Asset Review was
performed with respect to such Asset Review Receivable or (ii) the Asset Representations Reviewer has provided the Servicer with evidence that reasonably demonstrates that the Asset Representations Reviewer was unable during such prior Asset
Review to conduct a review of such Asset Review Receivable in a manner that would have ascertained compliance or non-compliance with a specific representation or warranty. 

(e) Termination of Asset Review. If an Asset Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Distribution Date, the
Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee no less than ten (10) days before that Distribution Date. On receipt of the notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Asset Review immediately
and will have no obligation to deliver an Asset Review Report. 
 Section 3.5. Asset Review Reports. Within five (5) days
of the end of the Asset Review period under Section 3.4(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer will deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee an Asset Review Report indicating for each Asset Review Receivable whether there
was a Test Pass or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Asset Review Receivable was a Test Complete and the related reason. The Asset Review Report will contain a summary of the Asset Review results to be included in the Issuer’s Form 10-D report for the Collection Period in which the Asset Review Report is received.

Non-Public Personal Information.

Report. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to respond to questions or requests for clarification from Noteholders or any other Person and will direct such Persons to submit written questions or requests to the Indenture
Trustee. 
 Section 3.7. Dispute Resolution. If an Asset Review Receivable that was reviewed by the Asset Representations
Reviewer is the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 2.20 of the 2019-1 Servicing Supplement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will participate in the dispute resolution proceeding
on request of a party to the proceeding. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its participation in any dispute resolution
proceeding will be considered expenses of the requesting party for the dispute resolution and will be paid by a party to the dispute resolution as determined by the parties to the dispute resolution in the course of the mediation (in the case of a
mediation) or by the arbitrator for the dispute resolution (in the case of an arbitration), in either case according to Section 2.20 of the 2019-1 Servicing Supplement. If not paid by a party to the
dispute resolution, the expenses will be reimbursed by the Issuer according to Section 4.3(d). 
 Section 3.8. Limitations on
Asset Review Obligations.

such Asset Review Receivable; or 
 (vii) to establish cause, materiality or recourse for any failed Test as described in
Section 3.4. 
 (b) Testing Procedure Limitations. The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the
testing procedures listed under “Procedures to be Performed” in Schedule A, and will have no obligation to perform additional procedures on any Asset Review Receivable or to provide any information other than an Asset Review Report
indicating for each Asset Review Receivable whether there was a Test Pass or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Asset Review Receivable was a Test Complete and the related reason. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may provide

 6

Reviewer has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement is the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Asset Representations Reviewer enforceable against the Asset Representations Reviewer, except as may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of
creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles. 
 (iii) No Conflicts and No Violation. The completion of

claims the Servicer may have arising out of this Agreement or due to the performance or non-performance of Services.

 (d) Dispute Resolution Expenses. If the Asset Representations Reviewer participates
in a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 3.7 and its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in participating in the proceeding are not paid by a party
to the dispute resolution within ninety (90) days of the end of the proceeding, the Issuer will reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer for such expenses upon receipt of a detailed invoice, payable pursuant to the priority of payments in
Section 8.3 of the Indenture. To the extent that such amounts were not previously paid by the Servicer or any other party, upon receipt of a detailed invoice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to payment by the Servicer of
incurred but otherwise unpaid expenses. 
 Section 4.4. Limitation on Liability. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be
liable to any person for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith under this Agreement or for errors in judgment. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be liable for its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in performing its

and agents, for all costs, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any loss, damage or liability), but excluding
any cost, expense, loss, damage or liability resulting from (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence or (ii) the Asset Representations Reviewer’s breach of any of its representations or
warranties in this Agreement. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to indemnify the Asset Representations Reviewer in accordance with this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement. To the extent that such indemnities
owed to the Asset Representations Reviewer were not previously paid by the Servicer or any other party, upon receipt of a detailed invoice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to payment by the Servicer of such incurred but
otherwise unpaid indemnities. 
 Section 4.6. Right to Audit. During the term of this Agreement and not more than once per year

“Safeguards Rule”). Additionally, state specific laws may regulate how certain confidential or personal information is safeguarded. The parties agree with respect to the Non-Public Personal
Information to take all appropriate measures in accordance with the Act, and any state specific laws, as are necessary to protect the security of the Non-Public Personal Information and to specifically assure

Confidential Information. 
 (ii) It will not disclose or use Confidential Information provided except for the purposes as
set in the Agreement, including as permitted under the Act and its implementing regulations, or other applicable law. 

(iii) It acknowledges that the providing party is required by the Safeguards Rule to take reasonable steps to assure itself
that its service providers maintain sufficient procedures to detect and respond to security breaches, and maintain reasonable procedures to discover and respond to widely-known security failures by its service providers. It agrees to furnish to
the providing party that appropriate documentation to provide such assurance. 
 (iv) It understands that the FTC may, from
time to time, issue amendments to and interpretations of its regulations implementing the provisions of the Act, and that pursuant to its regulations, either or both of the parties hereto may be required to modify their policies and procedures
regarding the collection, use, protection, and/or dissemination of Non-Public Personal Information. Additionally, states may issue amendments to and interpretations of existing regulations, or may issue
new regulations, which both of the parties hereto may be required to modify their policies and procedures. To the extent such regulations are so amended or interpreted, each party hereto agrees to use reasonable efforts to adjust the Agreement in
order to comply with any such new requirements. 
 (v) By the signing of this Agreement, each party certifies that it has a
written, comprehensive information security program that is in compliance with federal and state laws that are applicable to its respective organization and the types of Confidential Information it receives.

 (b) The Asset Representations Reviewer represents and warrants that it has, and will
continue to have, adequate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to (i) protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Non-Public Personal Information, (ii) ensure
against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Non-Public Personal Information, (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of
Non-Public Personal Information and (iv) otherwise comply with its obligations under this Agreement. These safeguards include a written data security plan, employee training, information access controls,

data or Confidential Information that compromises the security, confidentiality or integrity of Servicer’s Confidential Information, whether internal or external. The disclosure will include the date and time of the breach along with
specific information compromised along with the monitoring logs, to the extent then known. The Asset Representations Reviewer will use commercially reasonable efforts to take remedial action to resolve such breach.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

2019-2021

 

Adopted: February 2018

 

 

Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

Objectives

 

Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is committed to rewarding executive officers of the Company and its principal subsidiary EagleBank for their contributions to the Company’s success. The Company’s long-term incentive plan (LTIP) is adopted under, and constitutes the basis under which the Company will establish the equity based compensation awarded to executive officers pursuant to the Company’s then-applicable, shareholder approved, equity compensation plan (the “Stock Plan”), and is part of a total compensation package, which includes base salary, annual cash incentives (under the Senior Executive Incentive Plan — “SEIP”), long-term equity incentives and benefits. The objectives of this Long-Term Incentive Plan are to:

 

·             Focus and reward participants for driving long-term, sustained performance.

 

·             Align executive officers with shareholder interests.

 

·             Enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain talent needed to drive the Company’s success.

 

·             Ensure sound risk management by providing a balanced view of performance and aligning rewards with the time horizon of risk.

 

·             Position EagleBank’s total compensation to be competitive with market for meeting performance goals.

 

·             Work with the SEIP to ensure a proper balance of performance goals and time horizons for overall performance and compensation.

 

Participation

 

·             Participants are the executive officers of the Company and EagleBank, as designated by the Board of Directors.

 

·             Time-Vested Awards: New participants hired July 1 or later will not be eligible to receive awards of RS for the year in which they are hired but will become eligible for the next cycle.

 

·             Performance-Vested Awards: New participants must be an executive officer on the first business day of the year to be eligible for performance-vested awards (made in the first quarter) relating to the forthcoming three-year period. [Participants must be an active employee as of the last day of the applicable performance period and on the date stock vests to receive the benefit of an award.

 

·             Participant’s performance must be in good standing (minimum rating of 3) for the PRSU Performance Period and for the year of grant for Restricted Shares..

 

Program Components

 

The LTIP provides the opportunity to receive shares of time vested restricted stock (“RS”) and performance-vested restricted stock units (“PRSU”), to balance goals to reward for performance, retain executives and align executives’ interests with shareholders. Each year, participants are eligible to receive:

 

·                  Performance Shares (PSRU) (for 2019 this will be 50% of award value); PRSUs are performance-based and align executives with shareholder interests since award value is based on Company performance-based metrics. PRSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon certification of the achievement of specified performance based metrics over a three year performance and vesting cycle (the “performance period”).

 

·                  Restricted Stock (RS) (for 2019 this will be 50% of award value); RS supports executive ownership and retention objectives since there is always some value retained (even if performance metric minimums are not met).

 

 

·                  PRSUs are granted at target, with the potential to achieve vesting at or above a lower (50% of target) “threshold” level, or to achieve vesting up to a “stretch/maximum” (150% of target) level (with the award value is focused on achievement of future performance based on predefined performance measures). RS awards may be granted at target or could vary to allow for recognition/variation of Company and Individual performance.

 

The number of Restricted Stock and PRSU shares will be determined by dividing the value of the compensation award by the stock price on the date of grant (utilizing the formula contained in the applicable Stock Plan then in effect). The number of Performance Shares (PRSUs) will be granted at target but will be settled in Common Stock after the three year performance and vesting period.

 

Performance units promote pay for performance alignment and are intended to reward future performance since the awards are only paid out when predefined performance goals are met. Performance units are earned and cliff vest after three years. Earned performance units are paid within 75 days after the end of the Performance Period or as soon as practicable thereafter if the measurement data was not yet readily available, and vest on the date the Compensation Committee certifies the performance data..

 

The grants of RS and PRSUs under this Plan are under and a part of the applicable Company Stock Plan and not outside thereof, and are subject to all terms and conditions of such Plan.

 

Individual grant agreements will be provided to each individual upon grant and will specify the terms and conditions of the grant.

 

Participation in the Plan does not guarantee an award at the target levels detailed in Appendix A. The Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”) will have the discretion to grant above or below target for RS to allow for appropriate reflection of the Company’s performance, business environment, risk mitigating factors, affordability and individual performance and contribution.

 

Award Opportunities

 

Each participant will have a target equity award that reflects being a part of a competitive total compensation package for his/her role. LTIP targets will be communicated to each participant at the start of each performance period. (See Appendix A for current target opportunities.) LTIP targets are estimates only, subject to adjustment as set forth herein and are not committed amounts until awards are actually made and vested.

 

Restricted Stock (Time Vested) Shares — How They Work

 

RS grants are awarded based on a holistic view of performance that recognizes individual and Company performance. Actual awards can vary +/- 25% from target to reflect performance. Once awarded, RS vests one-third per year for three years, beginning on the first anniversary after the grant date.

 

Performance Shares — How they Work

 

Performance Period

 

Each performance cycle (i.e., performance period) is three years. Performance goals and target opportunities are communicated at the start of each performance period. For the 2018 Plan, the performance period will be January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. The payout of the award is contingent on actual performance of pre-defined measures at the end of the performance period. The result is a rolling series of annual awards, each earned over three years.

The diagram below shows how the annual award process results in overlapping cycles.

 

 

Performance Measures

 

The Committee shall establish one or more Performance Goals for each grant of PRSUs. The selected performance measures are intended to reflect the Company’s strategic plan as well as shareholder expectations.

 

It is intended that target goals will reflect performance that is attainable with reasonable stretch. Stretch (maximum) goals will reflect challenge goals that require superior performance. Performance of each goal is measured independently.

 

Actual payout after three years will be interpolated on a straight-line basis between threshold, target and maximum to reward incremental performance. Performance will range from 50% of target for achieving threshold performance to 150% of target for achieving stretch performance.

 

The table below establishes two performance goals and ranges for 2018.

Awards Payouts

 

The Company’s performance in respect of each of the performance measures will be calculated following the end of each performance cycle to determine the portion of an award of PRSUs that has vested. Vested PRSUs will be settled in the Company’s common stock.

 

In light of extraordinary regional economic or business circumstances of a force majeure nature (such as a result of a terrorist act or new government sequestration), the grant may provide that the Committee retains

the right to apply positive discretion to vesting as appropriate to normalize for such extraordinary regional circumstance. The factors listed above will be considered before vesting is approved by the Committee.

 

Terms and Conditions

 

This section provides a general overview of the major terms and conditions for the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Information represented below is subject to change and does not constitute a binding agreement.

 

Effective Date

 

This LTIP is effective initially to reflect a performance period of January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. The LTIP will be reviewed annually by the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board to ensure proper alignment with the Company’s business objectives. The Company retains the rights as described below to amend, modify or discontinue the Plan at any time during the specified period regarding future grants. The Plan will remain in effect until outstanding awards are vested.

 

Plan Administration

 

The LTIP is authorized by the Board and administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to interpret the LTIP and to make or nullify any rules and procedures, as necessary, for proper administration of the LTIP. The Compensation Committee will make all final determinations regarding long-term incentive awards to participants. Any determinations by the Compensation Committee will be final and binding on all participants. The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate or modify the LTIP, however, no amendment or termination of this LTIP will adversely affect an outstanding award.

 

Plan Changes or Discontinuance

 

The Company has developed the LTIP on the basis of existing business, market and economic conditions; current services; and staff assignments. If substantial changes occur that affect these conditions, services, assignments, or forecasts (for example, mergers, dispositions or other corporate transactions, changes in laws or accounting principles or other events that would in the absence of some adjustment, frustrate the intended operation of this arrangement), the Company may add to, amend, modify or discontinue any of the terms or conditions of the LTIP at any time regarding future grants.

 

Termination of Employment

 

To encourage executive retention, a participant must be an active employee of the Company or Bank on the vesting date. (See exceptions for death, disability, retirement, termination for good reason or without cause and change in control below). PRSUs will be forfeited by participants who terminate employment during the performance cycle except as otherwise set forth in this LTIP.

 

Death, Disability, Retirement

 

If a participant ceases to be employed by the Company or Bank due to death, disability or retirement (as defined in the applicable Stock Plan), his/her RS shares will immediately vest, and his/her performance-vested PRSUs vesting will be the greater of (i) based on actual performance measured on the most recent completed fiscal quarter, without proration or (ii) based on an assumed “at target” performance for the entire Performance Period, but then prorated for the period between grant and DDR.  Pro ration shall be computed based on full months, including any partial month of service.

 

6

 

Change in Control (CIC)

 

Upon a change in control (as defined in, and subject to any conditions contained in, the Stock Plan then in effect), (a) an executive’s RS shares will vest and (b) his/her performance-vested PRSUs vesting will be the greater of (i) based on actual performance measured on the most recent completed fiscal quarter, without proration or (ii) based on an assumed “at target” performance for the entire Performance Period, but then prorated for the period between grant and CIC.  Pro ration shall be computed based on full months, including any partial month of service.

 

Clawback

 

All awards under this Plan are subject to clawback in accordance with the requirements of the applicable award agreement and applicable Stock plan, applicable law and regulation and the listing requirements of any exchange on which the Company’s common stock is listed for trading.

 

Ethics and Interpretation

 

If there is any ambiguity as to the meaning of any terms or provisions of the Plan or any questions as to the correct interpretation of any information contained therein, the interpretation expressed by the Compensation Committee will be final and binding.

 

The altering, inflating, and/or inappropriate manipulation of performance/financial results or any other infraction of recognized ethical business standard, will subject a participant to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. In addition, any incentive compensation under the Plan to which the participant would otherwise be entitled may be revoked.

 

Miscellaneous

 

The LTIP will not be deemed to give any participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Bank, nor will the LTIP interfere with the right of the Company or Bank to discharge any participant at any time for any reason. Receipt of an award in one year does not guarantee the eligibility of a participant to receive, or entitle a participant to receive, an award in any subsequent year.

 

Each provision in this LTIP is severable, and if any provision is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not, in any way, be affected or impaired thereby.

 

This incentive plan and the transactions and payments hereunder shall, in all respects, be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Maryland (without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions).
