ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
     On December 30, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (the “Registrant”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Old Line Bank, reviewed the anticipated financial performance of the Registrant and Old Line Bank for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 in order to determine what, if any, cash bonus or incentive stock option bonus should be paid to the executive officers, James W. Cornelsen (CEO), Joseph W. Burnett (Senior Vice President) and Christine M. Rush (CFO) pursuant to the Registrant’s Incentive Plan Model and Stock Option Model for 2005. The Incentive Plan Model and Stock Option Model is filed with the SEC on Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2005. In making its review, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Registrant’s actual anticipated financial performance and considered the impact of the stock offering that was completed in October 2005 and the addition of the College Park loan production office in August 2005 on the Registrant’s financial performance.
     Based on this review, effective December 30, 2005, the Registrant paid cash bonuses and issued incentive stock options to Mr. Cornelsen, Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush as follows:
                         
Name of Officer   Cash Bonus     Number of Options     Exercise Price  
 
James W. Cornelsen
  $ 63,000       19,700     $ 10.44  
Joseph Burnett
  $ 25,000       8,800     $ 10.44  
Christine Rush
  $ 24,000       8,300     $ 10.44  
One-third of the option grant vested as of December 31, 2005, one-third of the option grant will vest on December 31, 2006 and one-third of the option grant will vest on December 31, 2007. The options were evidenced by Stock Option Agreements in the form filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 5, 2005. The options were issued from the Registrant’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.
     Also, on December 30, 2005, Old Line Bank increased the guaranteed annual compensation payable to each of the executive officers, as set forth in a second amendment to each executive’s employment agreement. Specifically, Mr. Cornelsen’s guaranteed annual compensation increased from $190,000 to $205,000, Mr. Burnett’s guaranteed annual compensation increased from $127,000 to $142,000 and Ms. Rush’s guaranteed annual compensation increased from $121,000 to $135,500. In addition, Mr. Cornelsen’s agreement was amended to reflect Old Line Bank’s decision to extend the term of Mr. Cornelsen’s employment agreement to March 30, 2011. The summary and description of the amendments to the employment agreements contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendments to the employment agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3 to this Form 8-K.
     Pursuant to the Registrant’s and Old Line Bank’s Director Compensation Policy for 2005 (a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.6 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 5, 2005), on December 31, 2005 the Registrant issued each non-employee director an option to purchase 1,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock. The options were granted at fair market value, are exercisable immediately, and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Also, the options terminate (if not exercised) on the first anniversary of the termination of the director’s service on the Board of Directors. These options were granted pursuant to the Registrant’s 2001 Incentive Stock Option Plan.
     On January 3, 2006, Old Line Bank entered into Salary Continuation Agreements and Supplemental Life Insurance Agreements and started accruing for a related annual expense, with Mr. Cornelsen, Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush.
     Under these agreements, and in accordance with the conditions specified therein, benefits accrue over time from the date of the agreement until the executive reaches the age of 65. Upon full vesting of the benefit, the executives will be paid the following annual amounts for 15 years: Mr. Cornelsen — $131,607; Mr. Burnett — $23,177; and Ms. Rush — $56,658. Under the Supplemental Life Insurance Agreements, Old Line Bank is obligated to cause the payment of death benefits to the executives’ designated beneficiaries in the following amounts: Mr. Cornelsen— $717,558; Mr. Burnett — $410,556 and Ms. Rush — $827,976. The Bank has funded these obligations through the purchase of insurance policies owned by Old Line Bank.
     The Registrant designed these agreements to provide Mr. Cornelsen, Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush supplemental retirement benefits to the benefits received from their 401(k) plan and to retain these individuals and reward them for their contribution to the development and management of the Registrant.

5.3   Removal . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive’s rights in the Agreement shall terminate if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”).
 
5.4   Suicide or Misstatement .

A termination of employment will not be considered a Separation from Service if:

Article 3
Comparable Coverage
3.1   Insurance Policies . If the Executive is entitled to a benefit, the Bank may provide such benefit through the Policies purchased at the commencement of this Agreement, or may provide comparable insurance coverage to the Executive through whatever means the Bank deems appropriate.

4.3   Imputed Income . The Bank shall impute the economic benefit to the Executive on an annual basis, by adding the economic benefit to the Executive’s W-2, or if applicable, Form 1099.

2


 

OLD LINE BANK
Supplemental Life Insurance Agreement
    Executive has the right to receive from the Bank, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, or would be a prohibited golden parachute payment pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.2 and for which the appropriate federal banking agency has not given written consent to pay pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.4, the payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced, in the manner determined by the Executive in the case of the application of Section 280G of the Code, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in (i) no portion of the payments and benefits under this Agreement being non-deductible to the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, and (ii) no adverse consequence to the Bank under or pursuant to such banking regulations. All benefits payable under this Agreement shall also be subject to limitations or prohibitions imposed by subsequent changes or amendments to the cited laws and regulations except to the extent that any benefits payable under this Agreement are grandfathered or otherwise exempt or excluded from the change or amendment.
 
5.2   Termination for Cause . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall forfeit any right to a benefit under this Agreement if the Bank terminates the Executive’s employment for cause. Termination of the Executive’s employment for “Cause” shall mean termination because of personal dishonesty, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order or material breach of any provision of the Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank.
 
5.3   Removal . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive’s rights in the Agreement shall terminate if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”).
 
5.4   Suicide or Misstatement . No benefits shall be payable if the Executive commits suicide within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the insurance company denies coverage (i) for material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on any application for life insurance purchased by the Bank, or (ii) for any other reason.
Article 6
Beneficiaries
6.1   Beneficiary . The Executive shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary(ies) to receive any benefits payable under the Agreement upon the death of the Executive.

OLD LINE BANK
Supplemental Life Insurance Agreement
6.2   Beneficiary Designation; Change . The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and delivering it to the Bank or its designated agent. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Bank’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Bank of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Bank shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted by the Bank prior to the Executive’s death.
 
6.3   Acknowledgment . No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Bank or its designated agent.
 
6.4   No Beneficiary Designation . If the Executive dies without a valid designation of beneficiary, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s surviving spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made payable to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.
 
6.5   Facility of Payment . If the Bank determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be paid to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Bank may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Bank may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Executive and the Executive’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such payment amount.
Article 7
Assignment
     The Executive may irrevocably assign without consideration all of the Executive’s Interest in this Agreement to any person, entity, or trust. In the event the Executive shall transfer all of the Executive’s Interest, then all of the Executive’s Interest in this Agreement shall be vested in the Executive’s transferee, who shall be substituted as a party hereunder, and the Executive shall have no further interest in this Agreement.
Article 8
Insurer
     The Insurer shall be bound only by the terms of its given Policy. The Insurer shall not be bound by or deemed to have notice of the provisions of this Agreement. The Insurer shall have

2


 

OLD LINE BANK
Supplemental Life Insurance Agreement
    Executive has the right to receive from the Bank, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, or would be a prohibited golden parachute payment pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.2 and for which the appropriate federal banking agency has not given written consent to pay pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.4, the payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced, in the manner determined by the Executive in the case of the application of Section 280G of the Code, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in (i) no portion of the payments and benefits under this Agreement being non-deductible to the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, and (ii) no adverse consequence to the Bank under or pursuant to such banking regulations. All benefits payable under this Agreement shall also be subject to limitations or prohibitions imposed by subsequent changes or amendments to the cited laws and regulations except to the extent that any benefits payable under this Agreement are grandfathered or otherwise exempt or excluded from the change or amendment.

For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank.
 
5.3   Removal . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive’s rights in the Agreement shall terminate if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”).
 
5.4   Suicide or Misstatement .

The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Bank’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time.

6.4   No Beneficiary Designation .

If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made payable to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.
 
6.5   Facility of Payment .

The Bank may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Executive and the Executive’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such payment amount.
Article 7
Assignment

In the event the Executive shall transfer all of the Executive’s Interest, then all of the Executive’s Interest in this Agreement shall be vested in the Executive’s transferee, who shall be substituted as a party hereunder, and the Executive shall have no further interest in this Agreement.
