(c) Other Activities. Except with the prior written approval of the Board (which the Board may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), the Executive, during the Employment Period, will not (i) accept any other employment, (ii) serve on the board of directors or similar body of any other business entity, or (iii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage) that is or may be competitive with, or that might place him in a competing position to, that of JH.
2. TRADE SECRETS
(a) Executive acknowledges by executing the Agreement, the requirement to adhere to all JH practices and policies including those concerning the preservation of JH's

(b) Executive agrees as a consequence of the Agreement, that he will not directly or indirectly use or disclose to any person, firm, or corporation any Confidential Information during the term of this Agreement or after this Agreement has expired by its terms, except in the normal course of business on behalf of JH, with the prior written consent of JH or to the extent necessary to comply with law or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction, in which event Executive will provide notice, in writing to JH at least ten (10) days prior to the date disclosure is sought to be made, or the amount of prior notice that Executive received, whichever is greater. Executive will at all times use

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into as of this 30th day of September, by and among SMITH-MIDLAND CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and RODNEY I. SMITH (the "Executive").
WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company;
WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to enter into the arrangements set forth herein with respect to the terms and conditions of the Executive's continued employment with the Company from and after the date first written above.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Employment Agreement. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to employ the Executive and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Company for the Employment Period set forth in Section 2 hereof and in the position and with the duties set forth in Section 3 hereof. Terms used herein with initial capitalization are in some cases defined in Section 21 below. This Agreement shall be effective as of the first date written above (the "Effective Date"), and shall replace and supersede any employment agreement between the Executive and the Company (the "Current Agreement").
2. Term. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 8, the term of the Executive's employment hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and shall conclude on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Employment Period"); provided, however, that commencing on the date one year after the Effective Date, and on each annual anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter, the Employment Period shall automatically be extended for one additional year, unless either party gives written notice, no less than 30 days prior to the anniversary date, to the other party that it no longer wishes such automatic extensions to continue (a "Notice of Non-Renewal").
3. Position and Duties. The Executive shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company during the Employment Period, and shall serve as a member of the Board during the Employment Period. As the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Executive shall render executive, policy and other management services to the Company of the type customarily performed by persons serving in a similar capacity and as reasonably determined by the Board with regard to the Executive's status and position within the Company. It is also contemplated that the Executive will engage in the development of new, and/or enhancement of existing, products or technologies of the Company. The Executive shall devote the Executive's reasonable best efforts to the performance of the Executive's duties hereunder and the advancement of the business and affairs of the Company during the Employment Period (provided that the Executive may devote time to managing his personal investments and to charitable and community activities, and, with the consent of the Board, take up other offices and positions during the Employment Period).
1 {PAGE}
4. Place of Performance. During the Employment Period, the Executive's primary place of employment and work location shall be Midland, Virginia, except for reasonable travel on Company business and as otherwise consented to by the Executive.
5. Compensation.
(a) Base Salary. The Company initially shall pay to Executive an annual base salary (the "Base Salary") of $99,000. The Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Board no less frequently than annually and may be increased (but not decreased) at the discretion of the Board. If the Executive's Base Salary is increased, the increased amount shall be the Base Salary for the remainder of the Employment Period. The Base Salary shall be payable monthly or in such other installments as shall be consistent with the Company's payroll procedures in effect from time to time.
(b) Royalties.
(i) In addition to the Base Salary, commencing on the Effective Date, the Company shall pay to the Executive an annual royalty fee (the "Royalty") of $99,000. The Royalty shall be in consideration for the Executive's assignment, and/or future obligation to assign, to the Company all of his rights, title and interest in and to all of the Patents described in Section 5(b)(ii) hereof. The Royalty shall be payable monthly. Payment of the Royalty shall continue for so long as the Company is using the inventions underlying the non-expired Patents and shall survive the Employment Term.
(ii) The "Patents" shall include (A) all Patents owned by the Executive for inventions created by the Executive subsequent to the Company's initial public offering and on or before the Effective Date and used by the Company; such Patents shall be assigned by the Executive to the Company reasonably promptly after the Effective Date, and (B) all future Patents for inventions created by the Executive during the Employment Period which shall be assigned by the Executive to the Company upon the mutual determination by the Executive and the Company that such inventions underlying the Patents are beneficial or appropriate for use by the Company. The Executive shall take such actions, at the cost of the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company to effectuate the intent of this Section.
(c) Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive bonuses as follows (the "Bonus"): (i) an annual performance bonus in an amount determined at the discretion of the Board for each calendar year and (ii) a quarterly bonus in an amount ($27,000) equal to one-twentieth (1/20) of the current outstanding principal balance of the loan made by the Company to the Executive in the aggregate amount of $540,000 (the "Loan"), and the unpaid interest accrued thereon during such quarter, and a cash amount which reimburses the Executive for the federal, state and local taxes (including as a result of the payment of this cash amount, but deducting any savings from deducting state and local taxes for federal tax purposes) payable by the Executive as a result
2 {PAGE}
of the bonus payable pursuant to this subparagraph (ii). The payment of the Bonuses that are equal to one-twentieth (1/20) of the Loan and the quarterly interest thereon shall be paid in the form of foregiveness of such principal and interest. Once the Loan has been fully repaid, no further Bonus under subparagraph (ii) shall be payable.
