5. The parties intend that the Share Exchange shall qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

In consideration of the mutual agreements and premises set forth herein, the Bank and the Holding Company hereby enter into this Agreement and prescribe the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange and the mode of carrying it into effect as follows:

ARTICLE I
TERMS OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE

1.1 Share Exchange. On the Effective Date, each share of Bank Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be automatically converted into and exchanged for, without any action on the part of the holder, one share of Holding Company Common Stock, pursuant to a statutory share exchange under Virginia law and with the effect of Section 13.1-721 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “Share Exchange”). On the Effective Date, each holder of Bank Common Stock will cease to be a shareholder of the Bank and the ownership of all shares of Bank Common Stock shall automatically vest in the Holding Company. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Holding Company shall become the sole shareholder of the Bank, and the Bank will continue in existence as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. The respective articles of association, articles of incorporation, bylaws, names, offices, corporate identity, and officers and directors of the Bank and the Holding Company will not be changed as a result of the Share Exchange. In addition, the one hundred (100) shares of Holding Company Common Stock issued to the Bank in connection with the formation of the Holding Company will automatically be redeemed by the Holding Company on the Effective Date at $2.50 per share. Consequently, as a result of the Share Exchange, the existing shareholders of the Bank will become the only shareholders of the Holding Company, and the Holding Company will have 2,690,220 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, assuming there are no exercises of dissenters rights, no exercises of options and no issuances of common stock prior to the Effective Date. 



1.2 Effect on Outstanding Stock Options. On the Effective Date, each option to acquire shares of Bank Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be automatically converted into an option to acquire the same number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock upon the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Share Exchange. The Holding Company shall not be obligated to deliver new agreements for options to any former holder of an option to acquire Bank Common Stock. Consequently, as a result of the Share Exchange, the Bank will have no outstanding options to acquire Bank Common Stock, and the Holding Company will have outstanding options to acquire 232,821 shares of Holding Company Common Stock, assuming there are no new awards or issuances, expirations, terminations or exercises of options prior to the Effective Date.

1.3 Effect on Stock Incentive Plans. On the Effective Date, and in conjunction with the conversion of outstanding options for Bank Common Stock into options for Holding Company Common Stock, the Holding Company shall adopt and assume the Bank’s (i) 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, (ii) 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and (ii) Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Stock Incentive Plans”), which shall, thereafter, be plans of the Holding Company only. Each of the options for Holding Company Common Stock issued in connection with the Share Exchange shall be subject to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable Stock Incentive Plan under which such options were issued and the previous agreements with the Bank.

1.4 Exchange of Bank Common Stock Certificates. From and after the Effective Date, each holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates that, prior thereto, represented whole shares of Bank Common Stock shall, upon surrender of such certificate(s) to the transfer agent of the Bank and the Holding Company, be entitled to receive, in exchange therefore, a certificate or certificates representing the same number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock. Until so surrendered, each such outstanding certificate that, prior to the Effective Date, represented shares of Bank Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence the ownership of the same number of Holding Company Common Stock into which such shares of Bank Common Stock shall have been so converted. Former holders of shares of Bank Common Stock will not be required to exchange their Bank Common Stock certificates for new certificates evidencing the same number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock. If, in the future, the Holding Company decides to effect an exchange of stock certificates, instructions for such exchange will be sent to all holders of record of Holding Company Common Stock.

1.5 Transfer of Shares Held in Book Entry. From and after the Effective Date, any whole and fractional shares of Bank Common Stock held for shareholders in book entry form shall automatically be converted by the transfer agent of the Bank and the Holding Company to the same number of whole and/or fractional shares of Holding Company Common Stock, and are to be held for the accounts of the former holders of Bank Common Stock.

1.6 Sole Rights, Etc. On the Effective Date, the holders of certificates or owners of book entry accounts formerly representing shares of Bank Common Stock outstanding on the Effective Date shall cease to have any rights with respect to the stock of the Bank, and their sole rights shall be with respect to the Holding Company Common Stock into which their shares of Bank Common Stock shall have been converted by the Share Exchange.
