(b) Disability. By delivery of written notice thirty (30) days in advance to the Executive, the Association may terminate the
Executive’s employment due to the Executive’s Disability (as defined below). In the event that the Executive’s employment hereunder terminates due to his Disability, no termination benefits shall be payable to or in respect of the
Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental condition due to which the Executive shall have been absent from his duties on a full-time basis for a twelve (12) consecutive month period. The
Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have terminated as a result of Disability on the date provided in the notice of termination provided to the Executive by the Association. The Executive shall not be considered Disabled, however, if the
Executive has returned to employment on a full-time basis within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice. 
 3.2 Involuntary
Termination with Cause. The board of directors may, by written notice to the Executive, immediately terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause, in which case the Executive shall be entitled to receive
only the unpaid Base Salary that has accrued through the date of termination. The Association shall deliver to the Executive a copy of the resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (after reasonable notice to the Executive) and an
opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the board of directors, such meeting and the opportunity to be heard to be held prior to, or as soon as reasonably practicable following, termination, but
in no event later than 30 days following such termination), finding that the Executive was guilty of conduct constituting Cause. The notice provided to the Executive pursuant hereto shall specify in detail the particulars of the conduct constituting
Cause. If the board of directors thereafter determines that such conduct did not constitute Cause and the Executive’s employment hereunder is reinstated, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive back pay for the period following
termination and continuing through reinstatement. If the Executive’s employment is not reinstated as contemplated by the preceding sentence, then the termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 3.4 of
this Agreement and the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits provided therein. For the purposes of this Agreement “Cause” means any of the following: 

(1) a material act of personal dishonesty in performing Executive’s duties on behalf of the Association; 

(2) a willful misconduct that in the judgment of the board of directors will likely cause economic damage to the Association or its affiliates
or injury to the business reputation of the Company or the Association or their affiliates; 
 (3) incompetence (in determining
incompetence, the Executive must have demonstrated a lack of ability to perform the duties assigned to him which lack of ability directly causes material injury to the Association and the Executive’s acts or omissions shall be measured against
standards generally prevailing in the savings institutions industry); 

 (4) a breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit; 

(5) the intentional failure to perform stated duties under this Agreement after written notice thereof from the board of directors; 

(6) a willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than minor or routine traffic violations or similar offenses) that reflects
adversely on the reputation of the Company or the Association or its affiliates, any felony conviction, any violation of law involving moral turpitude, or any violation of a final cease-and-desist order; 

(7) a material breach by the Executive of any provision of this Agreement. 

No act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless he has acted, or failed to act, with an absence of good
faith and without reasonable belief that his action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Association. 
 3.3 Voluntary
Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason. If the Executive terminates employment without Good Reason, the Executive shall receive the Base Salary and expense reimbursement to which the Executive is entitled through the date on which
termination becomes effective. 
 3.4 Involuntary Termination Without Cause and Voluntary Termination with Good Reason. With written
notice to the Executive thirty (30) days in advance, the Association may terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause. Termination shall take effect at the end of the thirty (30) day period. With advance written notice to the
Association as provided in clause (y), the Executive may terminate employment for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily without Cause or voluntarily but with Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the
benefits specified in Article 4 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement a voluntary termination by the Executive shall be considered a voluntary termination with Good Reason if the conditions stated in both clauses (x) and (y) of
this Section 3.4 are satisfied: 
 (x) a voluntary termination by the Executive shall be considered a voluntary termination with Good
Reason if any of the following occur without the Executive’s written consent, and the term Good Reason shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without the Executive’s written consent: 

(1) a material diminution of the Executive’s Base Salary (unless the reduction is part of a company-wide or executive-level restructuring
of compensation), 
 (2) a material diminution of the Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities, or 

(3) a change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform services for the Association by more than 30 miles from such
location at the effective date. 
 (y) the Executive must give notice to the Association of the existence of one or more of the conditions
described in clause (x) within sixty (60) days after the initial existence of the condition, and the Association shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to remedy the condition. In addition, the Executive’s voluntary termination
because of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clause (x) must occur within six (6) months after the initial existence of the condition. 

 ARTICLE 4 

SEVERANCE COMPENSATION 

4.1 Cash Severance after Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason. 

(a) Subject to the possibility that cash severance after employment termination might be delayed under Section 4.1(b), if the
Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily but without Cause or if the Executive voluntarily terminates employment with Good Reason, the Executive shall for thirty-six (36) months and in accordance with the Association’s regular
pay practices continue to receive the Base Salary in effect at termination of employment. However, the Association and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the compensation and benefits under this Section 4.1 shall not be payable if
compensation and benefits are payable or shall have been paid to the Executive under Article 5 of this Agreement. 
 (b) If when employment
termination occurs the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, if the cash severance payment under Section 4.1(a) would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of
the Code, and finally if an exemption from the six-month delay requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code is not available, the Executive’s continued Base Salary under Section 4.1(a) for the first six months after employment
termination shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum without interest on the first business day of the seventh (7th) month after the month in which the Executive’s employment terminates. 

4.2 Post-Termination Insurance Coverage. 

(a) If the Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily but without Cause or voluntarily but with Good Reason, the Association shall
continue or cause to be continued at the Association’s expense health and life insurance benefits for the Executive and any of his dependents covered at the time of his termination. The health and life insurance benefits shall continue until
the first to occur of (w) the Executive’s return to employment with the Association or another employer, (x) the Executive’s attainment of age 65, (y) the Executive’s (or dependent’s) death, or (z) the end of
the thirty-six (36) month period following his termination of employment. 
 (b) If (x) under the terms of the applicable policy
or policies for the insurance benefits specified in section 4.2(a) it is not possible to continue coverage for the Executive and his dependents, or (y) when employment termination occurs the Executive is a “specified employee” within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, if any of the continued insurance coverage benefits specified in Section 4.2(a) would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and finally, if an exemption from the
six-month delay requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code is not available for that particular insurance benefit, the Association shall pay to the Executive in a single lump sum an amount in cash equal to the present value of the
Association’s projected cost to maintain that particular insurance benefit (and associated income tax gross-up benefit, if applicable) had the Executive’s employment not terminated, assuming continued coverage for 36 months. The lump-sum
payment shall be made thirty (30) days after employment termination or, if Section 4.1(b) applies, on the first business day of the seventh (7th) month after the month in which the Executive’s employment terminates. 

4.3 In addition, the Executive shall have the right to purchase from the Association the Association owned vehicle that had been used
by him at the then “Kelly Blue Book Trade in Value” valuation, provided the Executive notifies Association within seven (7) days of the termination of his intent to purchase the vehicle. Should, at the time of termination, the
“Kelly Blue Book Trade in Value” not be published, the parties hereto agree to use the valuation book then in use by institutions lending on used vehicles. 

 ARTICLE 5 

CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS 

5.1 Change in Control Benefits. If a Change in Control occurs during the term of this Agreement and, thereafter during the then
remaining term of the Agreement, the Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily but without Cause or if the Executive voluntarily terminates employment with Good Reason, the Association shall make or cause to be made a lump-sum payment to
the Executive in an amount in cash equal to 2.99 times the Executive’s average annual compensation. For this purpose, average annual compensation means the Executive’s taxable income reported by the Association for the five
(5) calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs. The payment required under this paragraph is payable no later than five (5) business days after the Executive’s termination of
employment. If the Executive receives payment under Section 5.1, the Executive shall not be entitled to any additional severance benefits under Section 4.1 of this Agreement. In addition, the Association shall provide the Executive and his
dependents with the same post-termination insurance coverage provided for in Section 4.2 of the Agreement. 
 5.2 Change in Control
Defined. For purposes of this Agreement “Change in Control” means a change in control of the Association or the Company as defined in Internal Revenue Section 409A of the Code and rules, regulations, and guidance of general
application thereunder issued by the Department of the Treasury, including a “change in ownership,” “change in effective control” or “change in ownership of a substantial portion of assets.” 

5.3 Potential Limitation of Benefits Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event
that (x) the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to the Executive under this Agreement or otherwise, which are deemed to be parachute payments as defined in Section 280G of the Code, or any successor thereof (the
“Termination Benefits”), would be deemed to include an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code; and (y) if such Termination Benefits were reduced to an amount (the “Non-Triggering Amount”),
the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times the Executive’s “base amount,” as determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and the Non-Triggering Amount less the product of
the marginal rate of any applicable state and federal income tax and the Non-Triggering Amount would be greater than the aggregate value of the Termination Benefits (without such reduction) minus (1) the amount of tax required to be paid by the
Executive thereon by Section 4999 of the Code and further minus (2) the product of the Termination Benefits and the marginal rate of any applicable state and federal income tax, then the Termination Benefits shall be reduced to the
Non-Triggering Amount. The allocation of the reduction required hereby among the Termination Benefits shall be first deducted from the cash payment due under Section 5.1 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by
regulation, the Association shall not pay the Executive severance benefits under this Agreement in excess of three (3) times his average annual compensation (or, if required, such other amount that may be permitted by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency pursuant to regulation or regulatory guidance). The Association’s independent public accountants will determine the value of any reduction in the payments and benefits; the Association will pay for the
accountants’ opinion. If the Association and/or the Executive do not agree with the accountants’ opinion, the Association will pay to the Executive the maximum amount of payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, as
selected by Executive, that the opinion indicates have a high probability of not causing any of the payments and benefits to be non-deductible and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The Association may also
request, and the Executive has the right to demand that, a ruling from the IRS as to whether the disputed payments and benefits have such tax consequences. The Association will promptly prepare and file the request for a ruling from the IRS, but in
no event will the Association make this filing later than thirty (30) days from the date of the accountant’s opinion referred to above. The request will be subject to the Executive’s approval prior to filing; the Executive shall not

 
unreasonably withhold his approval. The Association and the Executive agree to be bound by any ruling received from the IRS and to make appropriate payments to each other to reflect any IRS
rulings, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(1)(2) of the Code. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which the Executive may be entitled
upon termination of employment other than pursuant to this Section 5.3 hereof, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified, below zero. 

ARTICLE 6 

CONFIDENTIALITY AND CREATIVE WORK

of any nature concerning the Association or its business, or anything connected therewith. As used in this Article 6 the term “confidential information” means all of the Association’s and the Association’s affiliates’
confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets in existence on the date hereof or existing at any time during the term of this Agreement, including but not limited to:

services hereunder and to immediately delete all electronically stored data of the Association maintained on the Executive’s personal computers and to return all Association-provided computers or communication devices (i.e., laptop, Blackberry,

6.3 Creative Work. The Executive agrees that all creative work and work product, including but not limited to all technology, business
management tools, processes, software, patents, trademarks, and copyrights developed by the Executive during the term of this Agreement, regardless of when or where such work or work product was produced, constitutes work made for hire, all rights
of which are owned by the Association. The Executive hereby assigns to the Association all rights, title, and interest, whether by way of copyrights, trade secret, trademark, patent, or otherwise, in all such work or work product, regardless of
whether the same is subject to protection by patent, trademark, or copyright laws. 
 6.4 Affiliates’ Confidential Information is
Covered; Confidentiality Obligation Survives Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “affiliate” of the Association includes any entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with the Association. The rights and obligations set forth in this Article 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

 6.5 Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges that it is impossible to measure in
money the damages that will accrue to the Association if the Executive fails to observe the obligations imposed by this Article 6. Accordingly, if the Association institutes an action to enforce the provisions hereof, the Executive hereby waives the
claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law is available to the Association, and the Executive agrees not to urge in any such action the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. The confidentiality and remedies provisions of this
Article 6 shall be in addition to and shall not be deemed to supersede or restrict, limit, or impair the Association’s rights under applicable state or federal statute or regulation dealing with or providing a remedy for the wrongful
disclosure, misuse, or misappropriation of trade secrets or proprietary or confidential information.

would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Maryland. By entering into this Agreement, the Executive acknowledges that the Executive is subject to the jurisdiction of both the federal and state courts in Maryland. 

8.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties concerning the employment of the Executive by the
Association. Any oral or written statements, representations, agreements, or understandings made or entered into prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement are hereby rescinded, revoked, and rendered null and void by the

of the Executive on the books and records of the Association at the time of the delivery of such notice, and properly addressed to the Association if addressed to the board of directors of the Association. 

8.5 Severability. If there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any statute, regulation, or judicial precedent,
the latter shall prevail, but the affected provisions of this Agreement shall be curtailed and limited solely to the extent necessary to bring them within the requirements of law. If any provisions of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be indefinite, invalid, void or voidable, or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless that would clearly be contrary to the intentions of the parties or would result in
an injustice. 

 8.6 Captions and Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are solely for convenience.
The captions do not define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. 
 8.7 No Duty to Mitigate. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in
this Agreement by seeking other employment. Moreover, provided the Executive is not in breach of any obligation under Articles 6 and 7 of this Agreement, the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any
compensation earned or benefits provided as the result of employment of the Executive or as a result of the Executive being self-employed after employment termination. 

8.8 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, released, discharged, abandoned, changed, or modified in any manner,
except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor affect the
validity of this Agreement or any part thereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver or any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 

8.9 Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. 

(a) The Executive will be deemed to have a termination of employment for purposes of determining the timing of any payments that are
classified as deferred compensation only upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (b) If at
the time of the Executive’s separation from service, (i) the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the methodology selected by the Association) and (ii) the Association makes
a good faith determination that an amount payable or the benefits to be provided hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A), the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay
rule of Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Association will not pay the entire amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay on the scheduled payment date the maximum amount
permissible in order to comply with Section 409A (i.e., any amount that satisfies an exception under the Section 409A rules from being categorized as deferred compensation) and will pay the remaining amount (if any) in a lump sum on the
first business day after such six month period. 
 (c) To the extent the Executive would be subject to an additional 20% tax imposed on
certain deferred compensation arrangements pursuant to Section 409A as a result of any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such tax and the parties shall
promptly execute any amendment reasonably necessary to implement this Section 8.9. The Executive and the Association agree to cooperate to make such amendment to the terms of this Agreement as may be necessary to avoid the imposition of
penalties and taxes under Section 409A; provided, however, that the Executive agrees that any such amendment shall provide the Executive with economically equivalent payments and benefits, and the Executive agrees that any such amendment will
not materially increase the cost to, or liability of, the Association with respect to any payment. 
 (d) For purposes of this Agreement,
Section 409A shall refer to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations and any other authoritative guidance issued thereunder. 

 8.10 Required Provisions. In the event any of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement
conflict with the terms of this Section 8.10, this Section 8.10 shall prevail. 
 (a) The Association’s board of directors
may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, but any termination by the Association, other than termination for Cause, shall not prejudice the Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. The Executive
shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination for Cause as defined in Section 3.2 of this Agreement. 

(b) If the Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Association’s
affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) or (g)(1), the Association’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service,
unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Association may, in its discretion: (i) pay the Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended; and
(ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended. 
 (c) If the Executive is removed and/or permanently
prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Association’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the
Association under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected. 

(d) If the Association is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C.
Section 1813(x)(1), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties. 

(e) All obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, except to the extent determined that continuation of the Agreement is necessary for
the continued operation of the Association: (i) by the Comptroller of the Currency, or his or her designee (the “Comptroller”), at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) enters into an agreement to provide
assistance to or on behalf of the Association under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1823(c), or (ii) by the Comptroller at the time the Comptroller approves a
supervisory merger to resolve problems related to the operations of the Association or when the Association is determined by the Comptroller to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall
not be affected by such action. 
 (f) Any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to, and
conditioned upon, their compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and FDIC Regulation 12 C.F.R. Part 359, Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Employment Agreement as of the date
first written above.

WHEREAS, the Executive serves in positions of substantial responsibility with the Association; and 

WHEREAS, the Association wishes to set forth the terms of the Executive’s continued employment in these positions; and

to maintain all records appropriate to Internal Revenue rules and regulations pertaining to the use of employer-owned vehicles and, should the use of the employer-owned vehicle result in additional tax consequences to the Executive, the tax shall be
the responsibility of the Executive to pay. 

  
 2 

 2.3 Vacation; Leave. The Executive shall be entitled to sick leave and paid annual
four (4) week vacation in accordance with policies established from time to time by the Association. In addition to paid vacations and other leave, the board of directors may grant the Executive a leave or leaves of absence, with or without

the Executive in accordance with the policies of the Association. The Executive shall take his vacation at a reasonable time or times taking into consideration the needs of the Association. 

2.4 Insurance. The Association shall maintain or cause to be maintained liability insurance covering the Executive throughout
the term of this Agreement. 
 2.5 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The Association has established for the benefit of
the Executive and other employees under date of June 29, 2004, a “Trust Account” in the form customarily referred to as the “Rabbi Trust”. This Trust will be funded by the Association placing into the Trust Account for the
benefit of the Executive, the sum of $812.50 each and every month during the term of this Agreement. Executive’s right to the principal and the earnings thereon shall be one-hundred percent (100%) vested in employee at all times. The
Executive’s interest in this benefit shall include all contributions (and earnings) made by the Association prior to the effective date of this Agreement (that is, pursuant to the terms of any prior arrangement). 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, following a separation from service (as such term is defined for
purpose of Section 409A of the Code) for any reason, including death, the Association shall commence the payment of benefits set forth in this Section 2.5 on the 90th day following the

the benefit of the Executive shall be paid in a lump-sum cash payment on the 90th day following the Change in Control. 

The substantive terms of this Section 2.5 are consistent with the comparable terms under the employment agreement between the Executive
and the Association, dated September 15, 2009, and the employment agreement between the Executive and the Association, dated July 20, 2004, as amended December 13, 2005, and as amended December 16, 2008, and no changes have been
made under this Agreement with regard to the timing or form of the payment of the benefit.

Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then benefit distributions under this Section 2.5 that

Section 2.5 which would otherwise be paid to the Executive within the first six months following the separation from service shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the first business day of the seventh month following
the separation from service. All subsequent distributions shall be paid in the manner specified.

 ARTICLE 3 

EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION 

3.1 Termination Because of Death or Disability. 

(a) Death. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically at the Executive’s death. If the Executive dies in
active service to the Association, the Executive’s estate shall receive any sums due to the Executive as Base Salary and reimbursement of expenses through the end of the month in which death occurs. 

(b) Disability. By delivery of written notice thirty (30) days in advance to the Executive, the Association may terminate
the Executive’s employment due to the Executive’s Disability (as defined below). In the event that the Executive’s employment hereunder terminates due to his Disability, no termination benefits shall be payable to or in respect of the
Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental condition due to which the Executive shall have been absent from his duties on a full-time basis for a twelve (12) consecutive month period. The
Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have terminated as a result of Disability on the date provided in the notice of termination provided to the Executive by the Association. The Executive shall not be considered Disabled, however, if the
Executive has returned to employment on a full-time basis within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice. 
 3.2 Involuntary
Termination with Cause. The board of directors may, by written notice to the Executive, immediately terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause, in which case the Executive shall be entitled to
receive only the unpaid Base Salary that has accrued through the date of termination. The Association shall deliver to the Executive a copy of the resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an
opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the board of directors, such meeting and the opportunity to be heard to be held prior to, or as soon as reasonably practicable following, termination, but
in no event later than 30 days following such termination), finding that the Executive was guilty of conduct constituting Cause. The notice provided to the Executive pursuant hereto shall specify in detail the particulars of the conduct constituting
Cause. If the board of directors thereafter determines that such conduct did not constitute Cause and the Executive’s employment hereunder is reinstated, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive back pay for the period following
termination and continuing through reinstatement. If the Executive’s employment is not reinstated as contemplated by the preceding sentence, then the termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 3.4 of
this Agreement and the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits provided therein. For the purposes of this Agreement “Cause” means any of the following: 

(1) a material act of personal dishonesty in performing Executive’s duties on behalf of the Association; 

(2) a willful misconduct that in the judgment of the board of directors will likely cause economic damage to the Association or its affiliates
or injury to the business reputation of the Company or the Association or their affiliates; 
 (3) incompetence (in determining
incompetence, the Executive must have demonstrated a lack of ability to perform the duties assigned to him which lack of ability directly causes material injury to the Association and the Executive’s acts or omissions shall be measured against
standards generally prevailing in the savings institutions industry); 

  
 4 

 (4) a breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit; 

(5) the intentional failure to perform stated duties under this Agreement after written notice thereof from the board of directors; 

(6) a willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than minor or routine traffic violations or similar offenses) that reflects
adversely on the reputation of the Company or the Association or its affiliates, any felony conviction, any violation of law involving moral turpitude, or any violation of a final cease-and-desist order; 

(7) a material breach by the Executive of any provision of this Agreement. 

No act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless he has acted, or failed to act, with an absence of good
faith and without reasonable belief that his action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Association. 
 3.3 Voluntary
Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason. If the Executive terminates employment without Good Reason, the Executive shall receive the Base Salary and expense reimbursement to which the Executive is entitled through the date on which
termination becomes effective. 
 3.4 Involuntary Termination Without Cause and Voluntary Termination with Good Reason. With
written notice to the Executive thirty (30) days in advance, the Association may terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause. Termination shall take effect at the end of the thirty (30) day period. With advance written notice
to the Association as provided in clause (y), the Executive may terminate employment for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily without Cause or voluntarily but with Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to
the benefits specified in Article 4 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement a voluntary termination by the Executive shall be considered a voluntary termination with Good Reason if the conditions stated in both clauses (x) and
(y) of this Section 3.4 are satisfied: 
 (x) a voluntary termination by the Executive shall be considered a voluntary termination
with Good Reason if any of the following occur without the Executive’s written consent, and the term Good Reason shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without the Executive’s written consent: 

 

	 	(1)	a material diminution of the Executive’s Base Salary (unless the reduction is part of a company-wide or executive-level restructuring of compensation), 

 

	 	(2)	a material diminution of the Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities, or 

  

	 	(3)	a change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform services for the Association by more than 30 miles from such location at the effective date. 

(y) the Executive must give notice to the Association of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clause (x) within
sixty (60) days after the initial existence of the condition, and the Association shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to remedy the condition. In addition, the Executive’s voluntary termination because of the existence of one or
more of the conditions described in clause (x) must occur within six (6) months after the initial existence of the condition.

 ARTICLE 4 

SEVERANCE COMPENSATION 

4.1 Cash Severance after Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason. 

(a) Subject to the possibility that cash severance after employment termination might be delayed under Section 4.1(b), if the
Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily but without Cause or if the Executive voluntarily terminates employment with Good Reason, the Executive shall for thirty-six (36) months and in accordance with the Association’s regular
pay practices continue to receive the Base Salary in effect at termination of employment. However, the Association and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the compensation and benefits under this Section 4.1 shall not be payable if
compensation and benefits are payable or shall have been paid to the Executive under Article 5 of this Agreement. 
 (b) If when employment
termination occurs the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, if the cash severance payment under Section 4.1(a) would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of
the Code, and finally if an exemption from the six-month delay requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code is not available, the Executive’s continued Base Salary under Section 4.1(a) for the first six months after employment
termination shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum without interest on the first business day of the seventh (7th) month after the month in which the Executive’s employment
terminates. 
 4.2 Post-Termination Insurance Coverage. 

(a) If the Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily but without Cause or voluntarily but with Good Reason, the Association shall
continue or cause to be continued at the Association’s expense health and life insurance benefits for the Executive and any of his dependents covered at the time of his termination. The health and life insurance benefits shall continue until
the first to occur of (w) the Executive’s return to employment with the Association or another employer, (x) the Executive’s attainment of age 65, (y) the Executive’s (or dependent’s) death, or (z) the end of
the thirty-six (36) month period following his termination of employment. 
 (b) If (x) under the terms of the applicable policy
or policies for the insurance benefits specified in section 4.2(a) it is not possible to continue coverage for the Executive and his dependents, or (y) when employment termination occurs the Executive is a “specified employee” within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, if any of the continued insurance coverage benefits specified in Section 4.2(a) would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and finally, if an exemption from the
six-month delay requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code is not available for that particular insurance benefit, the Association shall pay to the Executive in a single lump sum an amount in cash equal to the present value of the
Association’s projected cost to maintain that particular insurance benefit (and associated income tax gross-up benefit, if applicable) had the Executive’s employment not terminated, assuming continued coverage for 36 months. The lump-sum
payment shall be made thirty (30) days after employment termination or, if Section 4.1(b) applies, on the first business day of the seventh (7th) month after the month in which the
Executive’s employment terminates. 
 4.3 In addition, the Executive shall have the right to purchase from the Association the
Association owned vehicle that had been used by him at the then “Kelly Blue Book Trade in Value” valuation, provided the Executive notifies Association within seven (7) days of the termination of his intent to purchase the vehicle.
Should, at the time of termination, the “Kelly Blue Book Trade in Value” not be published, the parties hereto agree to use the valuation book then in use by institutions lending on used vehicles.

 ARTICLE 5 

CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS 

5.1 Change in Control Benefits. If a Change in Control occurs during the term of this Agreement and, thereafter during the then
remaining term of the Agreement, the Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily but without Cause or if the Executive voluntarily terminates employment with Good Reason, the Association shall make or cause to be made a lump-sum payment to
the Executive in an amount in cash equal to 2.99 times the Executive’s average annual compensation. For this purpose, average annual compensation means the Executive’s taxable income reported by the Association for the five
(5) calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs. The payment required under this paragraph is payable no later than five (5) business days after the Executive’s termination of
employment. If the Executive receives payment under Section 5.1, the Executive shall not be entitled to any additional severance benefits under Section 4.1 of this Agreement. In addition, the Association shall provide the Executive and his
dependents with the same post-termination insurance coverage provided for in Section 4.2 of the Agreement. 
 5.2 Change in
Control Defined. For purposes of this Agreement “Change in Control” means a change in control of the Association or the Company as defined in Internal Revenue Section 409A of the Code and rules, regulations, and guidance of
general application thereunder issued by the Department of the Treasury, including a “change in ownership,” “change in effective control” or “change in ownership of a substantial portion of assets.” 

5.3 Potential Limitation of Benefits Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the
event that (x) the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to the Executive under this Agreement or otherwise, which are deemed to be parachute payments as defined in Section 280G of the Code, or any successor thereof (the
“Termination Benefits”), would be deemed to include an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code; and (y) if such Termination Benefits were reduced to an amount (the “Non-Triggering Amount”),
the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times the Executive’s “base amount,” as determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and the Non-Triggering Amount less the product of
the marginal rate of any applicable state and federal income tax and the Non-Triggering Amount would be greater than the aggregate value of the Termination Benefits (without such reduction) minus (1) the amount of tax required to be paid by the
Executive thereon by Section 4999 of the Code and further minus (2) the product of the Termination Benefits and the marginal rate of any applicable state and federal income tax, then the Termination Benefits shall be reduced to the
Non-Triggering Amount. The allocation of the reduction required hereby among the Termination Benefits shall be first deducted from the cash payment due under Section 5.1 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by
regulation, the Association shall not pay the Executive severance benefits under this Agreement in excess of three (3) times his average annual compensation (or such other amount that may be permitted by the Office of Comptroller of the
Currency pursuant to regulation or regulatory guidance). The Association’s independent public accountants will determine the value of any reduction in the payments and benefits; the Association will pay for the accountants’ opinion. If the
Association and/or the Executive do not agree with the accountants’ opinion, the Association will pay to the Executive the maximum amount of payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, as selected by Executive, that the
opinion indicates have a high probability of not causing any of the payments and benefits to be non-deductible and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The Association may also request, and the Executive has the
right to demand that, a ruling from the IRS as to whether the disputed payments and benefits have such tax consequences. The Association will promptly 

  
 7 

 
prepare and file the request for a ruling from the IRS, but in no event will the Association make this filing later than thirty (30) days from the date of the accountant’s opinion
referred to above. The request will be subject to the Executive’s approval prior to filing; the Executive shall not unreasonably withhold his approval. The Association and the Executive agree to be bound by any ruling received from the IRS and
to make appropriate payments to each other to reflect any IRS rulings, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(0(2) of the Code. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall result in a reduction of any
payments or benefits to which the Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment other than pursuant to this Section 5.3 hereof, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified, below zero. 

ARTICLE 6 

CONFIDENTIALITY AND CREATIVE WORK 

6.1 Non-disclosure. The Executive covenants and agrees not to reveal to any person, firm, or corporation any confidential
information of any nature concerning the Association or its business, or anything connected therewith. As used in this Article 6 the term “confidential information” means all of the Association’s and the Association’s
affiliates’ confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets in existence on the date hereof or existing at any time during the term of this Agreement, including but not limited to: 

(a) the whole or any portion or phase of any business plans, financial information, purchasing data, supplier data, accounting data, or other
financial information, 
 (b) the whole or any portion or phase of any research and development information, design procedures, algorithms
or processes, or other technical information,

customer lists, prices, sales projections, or other sales information, and 
 (d) trade secrets, as defined from time to time by the laws of
Maryland. This Section 6.1 does not prohibit disclosure required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or a subpoena from an appropriate governmental agency or disclosure made by the Executive in the ordinary course of business and within
the scope of the Executive’s authority. 
 6.2 Return of Materials. The Executive agrees to immediately deliver or return
to the Association upon termination, upon expiration of this Agreement, or as soon thereafter as possible, all written information and any other similar items furnished by the Association or prepared by the Executive in connection with the
Executive’s services hereunder and to immediately delete all electronically stored data of the Association maintained on the Executive’s personal computers and to return all Association-provided computers or communication devices (i.e.,
laptop, Blackberry, PDA, etc.). The Executive will retain no copies thereof after termination of this Agreement or termination of the Executive’s employment. 

6.3 Creative Work. The Executive agrees that all creative work and work product, including but not limited to all technology,
business management tools, processes, software, patents, trademarks, and copyrights developed by the Executive during the term of this Agreement, regardless of when or where such work or work product was produced, constitutes work made for hire, all
rights of which are owned by the Association. The Executive hereby assigns to the Association all rights, title, and interest, whether by way of copyrights, trade secret, trademark, patent, or otherwise, in all such work or work product, regardless
of whether the same is subject to protection by patent, trademark, or copyright laws.

 6.4 Affiliates’ Confidential Information is Covered; Confidentiality Obligation
Survives Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “affiliate” of the Association includes any entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with the Association. The rights and obligations set forth in this Article 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 6.5
Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to the Association if the Executive fails to observe the obligations imposed by this Article 6. Accordingly, if the
Association institutes an action to enforce the provisions hereof, the Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law is available to the Association, and the Executive agrees not to urge in any such action the claim or
defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. The confidentiality and remedies provisions of this Article 6 shall be in addition to and shall not be deemed to supersede or restrict, limit, or impair the Association’s rights under applicable
state or federal statute or regulation dealing with or providing a remedy for the wrongful disclosure, misuse, or misappropriation of trade secrets or proprietary or confidential information. 

ARTICLE 7 
 COMPETITION
AFTER EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION 
 7.1 Covenant Not to Solicit Employees. The Executive agrees not to, directly or
indirectly, solicit or employ the services of any officer or employee of the Association (including an individual who was an officer or employee of the Association during the one year period following the Executive’s termination) for two years
after the Executive’s employment termination. 
 7.2 Covenant Not to Compete. 

(a) The Executive covenants and agrees not to compete directly or indirectly with the Association for one year after employment termination.
For purposes of this Section 7.2: 
  

	 	(1)	the term compete means: 

  

	 	(i)	providing financial products or services on behalf of any financial institution for any person residing in the territory, 

  

	 	(ii)	assisting (other than through the performance of ministerial or clerical duties) any financial institution in providing financial products or services to any person residing in the territory, or 

 

	 	(iii)	inducing or attempting to induce any person who was a customer of the Association at the date of the Executive’s employment termination to seek financial products or services from another financial institution.

  

	 	(2)	the words directly or indirectly mean: 

  

	 	(i)	acting as a consultant, officer, director, independent contractor, or employee of any financial institution in competition with the Association in the territory, or 

 

	 	(ii)	communicating to such financial institution the names or addresses or any financial information concerning any person who was a customer of the Association when the Executive’s employment terminated.

  
 9 

	 	(3)	the term customer means any person to whom the Association is providing financial products or services on the date of the Executive’s employment termination or within one year thereafter. 

 

	 	(4)	the term financial institution means any bank, savings association, or bank or savings association holding company, or any other institution, the business of which is engaging in activities that are financial in
nature or incidental to such financial activities as described in Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, other than the Association or any of its affiliated corporations. 

 

	 	(5)	financial product or service means any product or service that a financial institution or a financial holding company could offer by engaging in any activity that is financial in nature or incidental to
such a financial activity under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and that is offered by the Association or an affiliate on the date of the Executive’s employment termination, including but not limited to banking
activities and activities that are closely related and a proper incident to banking. 

  

	 	(6)	the term person means any individual or individuals, corporation, partnership, fiduciary or association. 

  

	 	(7)	the term territory means the area within a 25-mile radius of any office of the Association at the date of the Executive’s employment termination. 

(b) If any provision of this section or any word, phrase, clause, sentence or other portion thereof (including, without limitation, the
geographical and temporal restrictions contained therein) is held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the unenforceable or invalid provision or portion shall be modified or deleted so that the provisions hereof, as modified, are legal and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. 
 (c) The Executive acknowledges that the Association’s willingness
to enter into this Agreement and to make the payments contemplated by Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement is conditioned on the Executive’s acceptance of the covenants set forth in Articles 6 and 7 of this Agreement and that the Association
would not have entered into this Agreement without such covenants in force. 
 7.3 Injunctive and Other Relief. Because of the
unique character of the services to be rendered by the Executive hereunder, the Executive understands that the Association would not have an adequate remedy at law for the material breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any one or more of
the Executive’s covenants in this Article 7. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that the Association’s remedies for a breach of this Article 7 include, but are not limited to, (x) forfeiture of any money representing accrued salary,
contingent payments, or other fringe benefits (including any amount payable pursuant to Article 4) due and payable to the Executive during the period of any breach by Executive, and (y) a suit in equity by the Association to enjoin the
Executive from the breach or threatened breach of such covenants. The Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law is available to the Association and the Executive agrees not to urge in any such action the claim or
defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the Association from pursuing any other or additional remedies for the breach or threatened breach. 

7.4 Article 7 Survives Termination But Is Void After a Change in Control. The rights and obligations set forth in this Article 7
shall survive termination of this Agreement. However, Article 7 shall become null and void effective immediately upon a Change in Control.

 ARTICLE 8 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 8.1
Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Association and any successor to the Association,
including any persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Association by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or otherwise. But this Agreement and the Association’s obligations
under this Agreement are not otherwise assignable, transferable, or delegable by the Association. By agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, the Association shall require any successor to all or substantially all of the
business or assets of the Association expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Association would be required to perform had no succession occurred. 

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, and legatees. 
 (c) Without written consent of the other parties, no party shall assign,
transfer, or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Executive’s right to receive payments hereunder is not
assignable or transferable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest, or otherwise, except for a transfer by the Executive’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If the Executive attempts an assignment or transfer that is
contrary to this Section 8.1, the Association shall have no liability to pay any amount to the assignee or transferee. 
 8.2
Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Forum. Unless pre-empted by Federal law, this Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provision or rule
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Maryland. By entering into this Agreement, the Executive acknowledges that the Executive is subject to the jurisdiction of both the federal and state courts in Maryland.

 8.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties concerning the employment of the
Executive by the Association. Any oral or written statements, representations, agreements, or understandings made or entered into prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement are hereby rescinded, revoked, and rendered null and
void by the parties. 
 8.4 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand or mailed, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid. Unless otherwise changed by notice, notice shall be properly addressed to the Executive if
addressed to the address of the Executive on the books and records of the Association at the time of the delivery of such notice, and properly addressed to the Association if addressed to the board of directors of the Association. 

8.5 Severability. If there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any statute, regulation, or judicial
precedent, the latter shall prevail, but the affected provisions of this Agreement shall be curtailed and limited solely to the extent necessary to bring them within the requirements of law. If any provisions of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be indefinite, invalid, void or voidable, or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless that would clearly be contrary to the intentions of the parties or would
result in an injustice. 

  
 11 

 8.6 Captions and Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are solely for
convenience. The captions do not define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument. 
 8.7 No Duty to Mitigate. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment. Moreover, provided the Executive is not in breach of any obligation under Articles 6 and 7 of this Agreement, the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced
by any compensation earned or benefits provided as the result of employment of the Executive or as a result of the Executive being self-employed after employment termination. 

8.8 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, released, discharged, abandoned, changed, or modified in any
manner, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor affect
the validity of this Agreement or any part thereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver or any breach of this Agreement shaft be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 

8.9 Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. 

(a) The Executive will be deemed to have a termination of employment for purposes of determining the timing of any payments that are
classified as deferred compensation only upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (b) If at
the time of the Executive’s separation from service, (i) the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the methodology selected by the Association) and (ii) the Association makes
a good faith determination that an amount payable or the benefits to be provided hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A), the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay
rule of Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Association will not pay the entire amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay on the scheduled payment date the maximum amount
permissible in order to comply with Section 409A (i.e., any amount that satisfies an exception under the Section 409A rules from being categorized as deferred compensation) and will pay the remaining amount (if any) in a lump sum on the
first business day after such six month period. 
 (c) To the extent the Executive would be subject to an additional 20% tax imposed on
certain deferred compensation arrangements pursuant to Section 409A as a result of any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such tax and the parties shall
promptly execute any amendment reasonably necessary to implement this Section 8.9. The Executive and the Association agree to cooperate to make such amendment to the terms of this Agreement as may be necessary to avoid the imposition of
penalties and taxes under Section 409A; provided, however, that the Executive agrees that any such amendment shall provide the Executive with economically equivalent payments and benefits, and the Executive agrees that any such amendment will
not materially increase the cost to, or liability of, the Association with respect to any payment. 
 (d) For purposes of this Agreement,
Section 409A shall refer to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations and any other authoritative guidance issued thereunder. 

  
 12 

 8.10 Required Provisions. In the event any of the foregoing provisions of this
Agreement conflict with the terms of this Section 8.10, this Section 8.10 shall prevail. 
 (a) The Association’s board of
directors may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, but any termination by the Association, other than termination for Cause, shall not prejudice the Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. The
Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination for Cause as defined in Section 3.2 of this Agreement. 

(b) If the Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Association’s
affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) or (g)(1), the Association’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service,
unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Association may, in its discretion: (i) pay the Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended; and
(ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended. 
 (c) If the Executive is removed and/or permanently
prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Association’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the
Association under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected. 

(d) If the Association is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C.
Section 1813(x)(1), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties. 

(e) All obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, except to the extent determined that continuation of the Agreement is necessary for
the continued operation of the Association: (i) by the Comptroller of the Currency, or his or her designee (the “Comptroller”), at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) enters into an agreement to provide
assistance to or on behalf of the Association under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1823(c), or (ii) by the Comptroller at the time the Comptroller approves a
supervisory merger to resolve problems related to the operations of the Association or when the Association is determined by the Comptroller to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall
not be affected by such action. 
 (f) Any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to, and
conditioned upon, their compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and FDIC Regulation 12 C.F.R. Part 359, Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments.
