(a)Non-disparagement. Executive will refrain from taking actions or making statements, written or oral, in any medium (including social media) which disparage or defame the goodwill, character, competence, or reputation of the Company or the Bank or their current, past and future directors, officers, employees, shareholders, principals, agents, or independent contractors. Executive understands that this non-disparagement provision does not apply on occasions when Executive is subpoenaed or ordered by a court or other governmental authority to testify or give evidence and must, of course, respond truthfully, to conduct otherwise protected by the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act in the context of enforcing the terms of this Agreement or other rights, powers, privileges, or claims not released by this Agreement.

investigation, hearing, trial, or proceeding. Nothing in this non-disparagement provision is intended in any way to intimidate, coerce, deter, persuade, or compensate Executive with respect to providing, withholding, or restricting any communication whatsoever to the extent prohibited under 18 U.S.C. §§ 201, 1503, or 1512 or under any similar or related provision of state or federal law. The Company and the Bank will refrain from (and direct its Board, Executive Management and Human Resources Department to refrain from (collectively with the Company and the Bank, the “Covered Entities”)) making any statements written or oral, in any medium (including social media) which disparages or defames the goodwill, character or competence or reputation of Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Covered Entities shall not be restricted in any manner from making any statement it believes to be truthful as may be required by law, rule or regulation or in connection with any regulatory examination, investigation or litigation.

(b)Employee Non-solicitation. Executive agrees that, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date he will not, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, anyone who is an employee of the Company or the Bank as of the Termination Date to leave the employ of the Company or the Bank; (ii) hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company or the Bank to work for Executive or any other person, corporation, partners, limited liability company or other business entity other than general solicitations of employment not directly targeting employees of the Company or the Bank ; or (iii) assist any person, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, to hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company or the Bank.

(c)Customer Non-solicitation. Executive agrees that, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any individuals or businesses that were customers of the Company or the Bank as of the Termination Date to do business in competition with the Company or the Bank.

(d)Non-competition. Section 4.1 of the Non-Compete Agreement is incorporated herein by reference. For clarity, the “Restricted Period” (as defined in the Non-Compete Agreement) shall continue for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date.

All payments provided under this Agreement (the Cash Severance, the Continued Vesting of Equity Awards, and the Additional SERP Benefit) are contingent on continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including the surviving provisions of the Employment Agreement and the Non-Compete Agreement. In the event of a breach of the terms of this Agreement, including the surviving provisions of the Employment Agreement and the Non-Compete Agreement, by Executive, any payments that have not been paid under this Agreement shall immediately cease. Executive acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Agreement, including the surviving provisions of the Employment Agreement and the Non-Compete Agreement, by Executive would result in material and irreparable injury to the Company and the Bank, and that it would be difficult or impossible to establish the full monetary value of such damage. Therefore, in addition to any other legal or equitable relief a court may award, the Company and the Bank shall be entitled to injunctive relief in the event of Executive breaches or threatens to breach any of the terms contained in this Section.

(b)Neither the waiver by either Party of a breach of or default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of such Party, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. If any part, term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or otherwise in conflict with law, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected, provided that if a court finds that the release language is unenforceable, the Parties shall, in good faith, rewrite (or, if they cannot agree, ask the court to rewrite) the offending language to cure the defect in a reasonable manner that maintains the intended status quo as closely as possible.

The Agreement and all related documents shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with that intention. However, if any amount payable under this Agreement is determined to be subject to Section 409A then such payments shall be administered in accordance with Section 409A, provided that the Company and the Bank shall not be liable for any failures under this Section 12 that result in any taxes or other amounts due under the terms of Section 409A. Each payment under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). To the extent any amount subject to Section 409A is to be paid or provided to the Executive in connection with a separation from service at a time when he is considered a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A then such payment shall not be made until the date that is six months and one day following such separation from service, or in a lump sum upon his earlier death. If payment of any amount subject to Section 409A is triggered by a separation from service that occurs while Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined by Section 409A) with, and if such amount is scheduled to be paid within six (6) months after such separation from service, the amount shall accrue without interest and shall be paid the first business day after the end of such six-month period, or, if earlier, within 15 days after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of the Executive’s estate following Executive’s death. If any payment subject to Section 409A is contingent on the delivery of a release by Executive and could occur in either of two years, the payment will occur in the later year. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax treatment to Executive. Executive shall be solely responsible for the tax consequences with respect to all amounts payable under this agreement and in no event shall the Company have any responsibility or liability if this Agreement does not meet any applicable requirements of Section 409A.

13.Supplemental Release. In consideration of the payments described in Section 3, Executive agrees to sign and return to Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, EagleBank, 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 via email at XXxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by overnight delivery the Supplemental Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A on (but not before) his Termination Date.
