Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an amended and restated change change
in control agreement with each of Donald Mindiak, the President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company,  Thomas Coughlin,  the Chief
Operating Officer of the Company,  and James Collins, the Senior Lending Officer
of the Company  (collectively,  the "Agreements").  The Agreements supersede and
replace the change in control  agreements  previously  entered into with Messrs.
Mindiak,  Coughlin,  and Collins.  The  Agreements  were amended and restated to
comply with Section 409A of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended (the
"Code") and the final regulations issued thereunder. The terms of the Agreements
are  materially  consistent  with the  previously  disclosed  terms of the prior
change in control agreements entered into with Messrs.  Mindiak,  Coughlin,  and
Collins.  The foregoing  descriptions  of the  Agreements are qualified in their
entirety by reference  to the Change in Control  Agreements  attached  hereto as
Exhibit  10.1,  Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3 of this  Current  Report,  and are
incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.

     Executive  Agreements.  On December 10, 2008,  the Company  entered into an
executive  agreement with each of Messrs.  Mindiak,  Coughlin,  and Collins (the

change in control of the Company,  Messrs. Mindiak,  Coughlin, and Collins would
be entitled to a gross-up payment to cover  applicable  excise taxes, if any, on
the  compensation  or benefits paid by the Company that are  considered  "excess
parachute  payments"  under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code such that the net
amount retained by Messrs. Mindiak, Coughlin, and Collins after deduction of the
excise and other  applicable  taxes  would equal the amount of  compensation  or
benefits  due  to  Messrs.   Mindiak,   Coughlin,  and  Collins.  The  foregoing
descriptions  of the Executive  Agreements  are  qualified in their  entirety by
reference to the Executive  Agreements  attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4, Exhibit
