All awards of time-vested restricted stock vest in three substantially equal installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the terms of the 2016 Stock Plan and the form of award certificate. PRSUs are awards of the right to receive shares of common stock based upon the Company’s achievement in respect of specified performance measures over a three year performance period, 2019-2021, based upon the Company’s earnings as compared budget and its net interest margin as compared to the companies comprising the KBW Regional Bank Index (the “Index”). PRSUs are awarded at target, meaning the number of shares which would vest if the Company met the target level of performance for each performance metric. The actual number of PRSUs vested will be determined by interpolating the Company’s performance in respect of each metric on a straight-line basis between threshold, target and stretch/maximum award levels. The table below establishes the performance goals and payment ranges for the 2019-2022 performance period. A copy of the Company’s 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan, under which the awards of time vested restricted stock and PRSUs were established, is included as Exhibit10.1 to this report. Retention bonuses vest in two equal annual installments commencing on the date of award for Mr.Marquez, and three equal annual installments commencing on the date of award for Ms.Riel.

On February11, 2019, the Compensation Committee also approved awards under the Senior Executive Incentive Plan for 2019 performance. The SEIP is a non-equity incentive compensation plan to which participating officers may earn cash incentive awards if certain pre-determined targets, including overall Company level performance and individual performance targets are met. Awards under either Senior Executive Incentive Plan may also be paid in stock, through awards under the Company’s stock plan, in the discretion of the Compensation

Committee. A redacted version of the plan, which does not disclose certain target goals and compensation levels for which confidential treatment has been requested, is attached as Exhibit10.2 to this report. An unredacted version of the 2018 SEIP is attached as Exhibit10.3 to this report.

On February11, 2019, EagleBank (the “Bank”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an amendment to Mr.Paul’s Non-Compete Agreement, dated as of August1, 2014. Under the Non-Compete Agreement, as amended, following termination of Mr.Paul’s employment, and subject to his compliance his noncompetition and other obligations under said agreement, Mr.Paul would be entitled, for a one year period, to a monthly payment equal to one one-twelfth of the sum of his base salary, his most recent cash bonus and the value of the equity based compensation awarded during the prior twelve months. The amendment corrects an inadvertent drafting error which excluded the value of equity compensation awards, which unintentionally reduced his post-termination compensation entitlements under his prior employment agreement. A copy of the amendment is attached as Exhibit10.4 to this report.

Director Awards. On February11, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved awards of shares of restricted stock under the 2016 Stock Plan to members of the Board of Directors of the Company for service on the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank, as follows:
