PART I

 

Item 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Virginia Financial Group, Inc. (VFG or the Company) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Currently, VFG is one of the largest independent bank holding companies headquartered in the Commonwealth of Virginia with total assets of approximately $1.6 billion. VFG’s trust affiliate, Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company, manages fee and commission based assets of approximately $597 million. Affiliates of the Company include: Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia—in Staunton, Second Bank & Trust—in Culpeper, Virginia Heartland Bank—in Fredericksburg, Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company—in Culpeper and VFG Limited Liability Trust. VFG, through its affiliates, also owns a 70% interest in VFG Title, LLC. VFG combined its Virginia Heartland Bank (Fredericksburg) into its Second Bank & Trust (Culpeper) affiliate on February 16, 2007. The two banks were geographically contiguous, shared increasingly similar market dynamics and offered the opportunity to create efficiencies and management depth. The organization has a network of forty branches serving a contiguous market throughout central, south central and southwest Virginia. Virginia Commonwealth Trust Corporation has offices in Culpeper, Fredericksburg, Harrisonburg and Staunton.

VFG’s affiliate banks are community-oriented and offer services customarily provided by full-service banks, including individual and commercial demand and time deposit accounts, commercial and consumer loans, residential mortgages, credit card services and deposit services. VFG’s affiliate banks offer internet banking access for banking services, and online bill payment for both consumers and commercial customers. Lending is focused on individuals and small and middle-market businesses in the local market of VFG’s affiliate banks. VFG’s trust affiliate provides a variety of wealth management and personal trust services including estate administration, employee benefit plan administration and planning specifically addressing the investment and financial management needs of its customers. Utilizing a “super-community” banking strategy, each affiliate is run autonomously, with the holding company providing common services such as corporate finance, information technology, marketing, human resources, compliance, audit and loan review.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2006, VFG had 580 full time equivalent employees. No employees are represented by any collective bargaining unit. VFG considers relations with its employees to be good.

COMPETITION

VFG and its affiliates incur strong competition in each of its primary markets from large regional and national financial institutions, savings and loans, credit unions and other community banking organizations. In addition, consumer finance companies, asset managers and mortgage companies all provide competition. Out-of-state bank holding companies are providing increased competition through merger with and acquisition of Virginia banks.

VFG’s deposit market share at June 30, 2006 represented 1% of the total banking deposits in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Competition for deposits is influenced by rates paid, customer loyalty factors, product offerings and convenience of branch network.

The competition in the industry has also increased as a result of the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “Act”), which drew new lines between the types of activities that are financial in nature and permitted for banking organizations, and those activities that are commercial in nature and not permitted. The Act imposes Community Reinvestment requirements on financial service organizations that seek to qualify for the expanded powers to engage in broader financial activities and affiliations with financial companies that are permitted.

The Act created a new form of financial organization called a financial holding company that may own banks, insurance companies and securities firms. A financial holding company is authorized to engage in any activity that is

 

1


financial in nature, incidental to an activity that is financial in nature, or is a complimentary activity. These activities may include insurance, securities transactions, and traditional banking related activities. The Act establishes a consultative and cooperative procedure between the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of the Treasury for purposes of determination as to the scope of activities permitted by the Act. VFG is not a financial holding company.

No material part of the business of the affiliate banks is dependent upon a single or a few customers and the loss of one or more customers would not have a materially adverse effect upon the business of the banks. Management is not aware of any indications that the business of the banks or material portion thereof is, or may be, seasonal.

REGULATION, SUPERVISION AND GOVERNMENT POLICY

Bank Holding Company

VFG is registered as a bank holding company under the Federal Bank Holding Corporation Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and State Corporation Commission (“SCC”). As a bank holding company, VFG is required to furnish to the Federal Reserve Board an annual report of its operations at the end of each fiscal year and to furnish such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the Bank Holding Corporation Act. The Federal Reserve Board and SCC also may conduct examinations of VFG and its affiliates.

A bank holding company must satisfy special criteria to qualify for the expanded powers authorized by the Act, including the maintenance of a well-capitalized and well-managed status for all affiliate banks and a satisfactory community reinvestment rating.

Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory or possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2006, that the Company and its affiliate banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond categorized the Company’s subsidiary banks as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1991 (FDICIA). To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. There are no conditions or events since notification that management believes have changed the Company’s category.

Dividends

VFG is a separate operating entity from its affiliates, and thus has liquidity needs that are funded primarily from the income of its affiliates. The parent company’s cash outflows consist of dividends to shareholders and unallocated corporate expenses. The main sources of funding for the parent Company are the management fees and dividends it receives from its banking and trust affiliates. Under the current supervisory regulation, prior approval from such agencies is required if the community bank pays cash dividends that exceed certain levels as defined. During 2006, the

 

2


banking affiliates and the non-bank subsidiary paid $13.0 million in management fees to the Company, and $12.5 million in dividends were paid to the Company. As of January 1, 2007, the aggregate amount of additional unrestricted funds, which could be transferred from the banking affiliates to VFG without prior regulatory approval totaled $42.1 million or 27.9% of the consolidated net assets.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley), which was signed into law in July, 2002, impacts all companies with securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the Company. Sarbanes-Oxley created new requirements in the areas of corporate governance and financial disclosure including, among other things, (i) increased responsibility for the Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers with respect to the content of filings with the SEC; (ii) enhanced requirements for audit committees, including independence and disclosure of expertise; (iii) enhanced requirements for auditor independence and the types of non-audit services that auditors can provide; (iv) accelerated filing requirements for SEC reports; (v) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for companies, their directors and executive officers; and (vi) new and increased civil and criminal penalties for violations of securities laws. Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer can be found in the “Exhibits” section of this document. Management’s “Statement of Management’s Responsibility” can be found in Item 9A of this report.

BANK REGULATION

Each of VFG’s affiliate banks are subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and the SCC. The various laws and regulations administered by the regulatory agencies affect corporate practices, including business practices related to payment and charging of interest, documentation and disclosures, and affect the ability to open and close offices or purchase other affiliates.

USA Patriot Act. VFG’s affiliate banks are subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, which provides for the facilitation of information sharing among governmental entities and financial institutions for the purpose of combating terrorism and money laundering. The Act places a significantly increased reporting responsibility and regulatory oversight on financial institutions to share information with the federal government concerning activities that may involve money laundering or terrorist activities. The USA Patriot Act is considered a significant banking law in terms of information disclosure regarding certain customer transactions. Certain provisions of the USA Patriot Act impose the obligation to establish anti-money laundering programs, including the development of a customer identification program, and the screening of all customers against any government lists of known or suspected terrorists. The Company is in compliance with both the requirements of the Act.

Insurance of Accounts. VFG’s affiliate banks have deposits which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the banks are subject to insurance premium assessments by the FDIC. The FDIC has developed a risk-based assessment system, under which the assessment rate for an insured depository institution varies according to its level of risk. An institution’s risk category is based upon whether the institution is well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized and the institution’s “supervisory subgroups”: Subgroup A, B or C. Subgroup A institutions are financially sound institutions with a few minor weaknesses; Subgroup B institutions are institutions that demonstrate weaknesses which, if not corrected, could result in significant deterioration; and Subgroup C institutions are institutions for which there is a substantial probability that the FDIC will suffer a loss in connection with the institution unless effective action is taken to correct the areas of weakness. Based on its capital and supervisory subgroups, each DIF member institution is assigned an annual FDIC assessment rate per $100 of insured deposits varying between 0.05% per annum (for well capitalized Subgroup A institutions) and 0.43% per annum (for undercapitalized Subgroup C institutions). All of VFG’s subsidiary bank’s Subgroup for 2006 was A. Each of VFG’s affiliate banks expect to receive a one-time assessment credit to offset the cost of expected higher deposit insurance premiums for 2007.

Community Reinvestment Act. VFG’s affiliate banks are subject to the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA). The CRA imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the needs of the local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. If any of our bank affiliates receives a rating from the Federal Reserve of less than satisfactory under the CRA, restrictions on our operating activities would be imposed. Our bank’s currently meet the CRA requirements.

Privacy Legislation. Several new regulations issued by federal banking agencies also provide new protections against the transfer and use of customer information by financial institutions. A financial institution must provide to its customers information regarding its polices and procedures with respect to the handling of customers personal information. Each institution must conduct an internal risk assessment of its ability to protect customer information. These privacy provisions generally prohibit a financial institution from providing a customer’s personal financial information to unaffiliated parties without prior notice and approval from the customer.

Basel Committee. On February 28, 2007, the federal banking agencies released for comment the new Basel Capital Accord (“Basel II”), which proposes establishment of a new framework of capital adequacy for banking organizations; the Committee published the text of the framework on July 26, 2004. Despite the release of the Basel II framework, it is not clear at this time whether and in what manner the new accord will be adopted by bank regulators with respect to banking organizations that they supervise and regulate. Although the Committee’s stated intent is that Basel II will not change the amount of overall capital in the global banking system, adoption of the proposed new accord could require individual banking organizations, including the Company, to increase the minimum level of capital held. The Company will continue to closely monitor regulatory action on this matter and assess the potential impact to the Company.

Consumer Laws and Regulations. VFG’s affiliate banks are also subject to certain consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the list set forth herein is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures (RESPA), Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Housing Act, among others. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions transact business with customers. VFG’s affiliate banks must comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of its ongoing customer relations.

ACCESS TO FILINGS

The Company files annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public may read and copy any documents the Company files at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Company’s SEC filings can also be obtained on the SEC’s website on the internet at http://www.sec.gov. Also, annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q are posted on the Company’s website at http://www.vfgi.net as soon as reasonably practical after filing electronically with the SEC.

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

This section highlights specific risks that could affect our business and us. Although we have tried to discuss key factors, please be aware that other risks may prove to be important in the future. New risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this report, among the other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:

Our profitability depends on interest rates generally.

Our profitability depends in substantial part on our net interest margin, which is the difference between the rates we receive on loans and investments and the rates we pay for deposits and other sources of funds. Our net interest margin depends on many factors that are partly or completely outside of our control, including competition, federal economic, monetary and fiscal policies, and economic conditions generally. Changes in interest rates will affect our operating performance and financial condition. We try to minimize our exposure to interest rate risk, but we are unable to completely eliminate this risk.

Our profitability depends significantly on local economic conditions.

Our success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of the markets in which we operate. Unlike larger banks that are more geographically diversified, we provide banking and financial services to customers primarily in Northern, Central and Western Virginia. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on our business, real estate and construction loans, the ability of the borrowers to repay these loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. A significant decline in general economic conditions, caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, an outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic calamities, unemployment or other factors beyond our control, could impact these local economic conditions and could negatively affect the financial results of our banking operations.

Our affiliate banks’ ability to pay dividends is subject to regulatory limitations which, to the extent VFG requires such dividends in the future, may affect our ability to pay obligations and dividends.

VFG is a separate legal entity from the affiliate banks and independent trust company, and thus does not have significant revenue sources of its own. We currently depend on the affiliate banks’ cash and liquidity as well as dividends from our subsidiaries to pay our operating expenses and dividends to shareholders. No assurance can be made that in the future the affiliate banks will have the capacity to pay the necessary dividends and that VFG will not require dividends from the affiliate banks to satisfy VFG’s obligations. The availability of dividends from our affiliate banks is limited by various statutes and regulations. It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of VFG and other factors, that the Federal Reserve could assert that payment of dividends or other payments by the affiliate banks are an unsafe or unsound practice. In the event the affiliate banks are unable to pay dividends sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations and the affiliate banks are unable to pay dividends to the Company, VFG may not be able to service its obligations as they become due, or pay dividends on the Company’s common stock. Consequently, the inability to receive dividends from the affiliate banks could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our profitability may suffer because of rapid and unpredictable changes in the highly regulated environment in which we operate.

We are subject to extensive supervision by several governmental regulatory agencies at the federal and state levels. Recently enacted, proposed and future banking legislation and regulations have had, will continue to have, or may have a significant impact on the financial services industry. These regulations, which are intended to protect depositors and not our shareholders, and the interpretation and application of them by federal and state regulators, are beyond our control, may change rapidly and unpredictably and can be expected to influence our earnings and growth. Our success depends on our continued ability to maintain compliance with these regulations. Some of these regulations may increase our costs and thus place other financial institutions that are not subject to similar regulation in stronger, more favorable competitive positions.

If our allowance for loan losses becomes inadequate, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate to absorb estimated incurred losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Through a periodic review and consideration of the loan portfolio, management determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses by considering current general market conditions, credit quality of the loan portfolio and performance of our customers relative to their financial obligations with us. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be beyond our control and these losses may cause our loan loss provision to vary widely from recent levels. Although we believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio, it is an estimate subject to revision as losses are confirmed. Higher levels of loan losses in the future could have a material adverse impact on our financial performance. Federal and state regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to increase our

 

5


provision for loan losses or to recognize further loan charge offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our concentration in loans secured by real estate may increase our loan losses, which would negatively affect our financial results.

We offer a variety of secured loans, including commercial lines of credit, commercial term loans, real estate, construction, home equity, consumer and other loans. Many of our loans are secured by real estate (both residential and commercial) in our market area. At December 31, 2006, approximately 47% and 41% of our $1.22 billion loans receivable portfolio were secured by commercial and residential real estate, respectively. A major change in the real estate market, such as deterioration in the value of this collateral, or in the local or national economy, could adversely affect our customers’ ability to pay these loans, which in turn could impact us. Risk of loan defaults and foreclosures are unavoidable in the banking industry, and we try to limit our exposure to this risk by monitoring our extensions of credit carefully. We cannot fully eliminate credit risk, and as a result credit losses may occur in the future.

Our future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive banking industry.

We face vigorous competition from other banks and other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies and credit unions for deposits, loans and other financial services in our market area. Many competitors offer products and services which we do not and many have substantially greater resources, name recognition and market presence that benefit them in attracting business. In addition, larger competitors may be able to price loans and deposits more aggressively than we do. Some of the financial services organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as is imposed on bank holding companies and federally insured state-chartered banks, national banks and federal savings institutions. As a result, these nonbank competitors have certain advantages over us in accessing funding and in providing various services. The differences in resources and regulations may make it harder for us to compete profitably, reduce the rates that we can earn on loans and investments, increase the rates we must offer on deposits and other funds, and adversely affect our overall financial condition and earnings.

We depend on the services of our key personnel, and a loss of any of those personnel may disrupt our operations and result in reduced revenues.

Our success depends upon the continued service of our senior management team and upon our ability to attract and retain qualified financial services personnel. Competition for qualified employees is intense. In our experience, it can take a significant period of time to identify and hire personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required in carrying out our strategy. If we lose the services of our key personnel, or are unable to attract additional qualified personnel, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

We may identify a material weakness or a significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting that may adversely affect our ability to properly account for non-routine transactions.

As we have grown and expanded, we have acquired and added, and expect to continue to acquire and add, businesses and other activities that complement our core retail and commercial banking functions. Such acquisitions or additions frequently involve complex operational and financial reporting issues that can influence management’s internal control system. While we make every effort to thoroughly understand any new activity or acquired entity’s business processes, our planning for proper integration into our Company can give no assurance that we will not encounter operational and financial reporting difficulties impacting our controls over the Company.

If we need additional capital in the future to continue our growth, we may not be able to obtain it on terms that are favorable. This could negatively affect our performance and the value of our common stock.

Our business strategy calls for continued growth. We anticipate that we will be able to support this growth through the generation of additional deposits at new branch locations as well as investment opportunities. However, we may need

 

6


to raise additional capital in the future to support our continued growth and to maintain our capital levels. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional securities will depend primarily upon our financial condition and the condition of financial markets at that time. We may not be able to obtain additional capital in the amounts or on terms satisfactory to us. Our growth may be constrained if we are unable to raise additional capital as needed.

Because our mortgage banking revenue is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, decreased economic activity, a slowdown in the housing market or higher interest rates may reduce our profits.

Maintaining a high level of fees from this operation depends primarily on our ability to continue to originate mortgage loans. Production levels are sensitive to changes in economic conditions and can suffer from decreased economic activity, a slowdown in the housing market or higher interest rates. Generally, any sustained period of decreased economic activity or higher interest rates could adversely affect our mortgage originations and, consequently, reduce our income from mortgage banking activities. As a result, these conditions may adversely affect our net income.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion provides management’s analysis of the consolidated financial results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and its affiliates (VFG). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes appearing elsewhere in this report.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In addition to historical information, Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results, or those anticipated. When we use words such as “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date thereof. VFG wishes to caution the reader that factors, such as those listed below, in some cases have affected and could affect VFG’s actual results, causing actual results to differ materially from those in any forward looking statement. These factors include:

 

   

Expected cost savings from VFG’s acquisitions and dispositions,

 

   

Competitive pressure in the banking industry or in VFG’s markets may increase significantly,

 

   

Changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins,

 

   

General economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, credit quality deterioration and reduced mortgage banking revenue,

 

   

Changes may occur in banking legislation and regulation,

 

   

Our concentration in loans secured by real estate could increase our loan losses,

 

   

Turnover in key personnel would disrupt our operations,

 

   

We may identify a material weakness or a significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting that may adversely affect our ability too properly account for non-routine transactions,

 

   

We may need additional capital in the future to continue our growth and may not be able to obtain it on terms that are favorable,

 

   

Changes may occur in general business conditions, and

 

   

Changes may occur in the securities markets.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

VFG’s earnings per diluted share grew 7.1% in 2006 versus 2005. Net revenue was $75.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $72.3 million in 2005. VFG earned $19.5 million or $1.80 per diluted share, an increase of 7.0% over 2005 earnings of $18.2 million or $1.68 per diluted share. VFG generated approximately $22.3 million in cash flow from operating activities in 2006. It paid dividends to stockholders of $6.6 million, invested $10.8 million in capital expenditures and borrowed approximately $25 million in long term debt, net.

Despite adding four full-service financial centers, additional key management positions and an environment fostering margin compression during the year, VFG still managed to grow earnings a respectable 7% over 2005. Asset quality has remained strong despite soft real estate markets throughout many of the regions serviced by the Company. Net interest margin remained acceptable despite an inverted yield curve and competitive pressures encountered during the year. Continuing improvement in noninterest income related to retail banking, trust and brokerage services was observed, but must improve to counter the impact of anticipated net interest margin contraction in 2007.

VFG’s focus for 2007 will include loan portfolio diversification, standardization of loan and deposit pricing metrics, concentration on the current forty branch network for retail delivery optimization in a changing competitive landscape and improvement of revenue diversification through increased contribution of noninterest revenue streams. We will

likely slow de novo branch activity as we focus on the maturation of six branches opened during the past eighteen months. Another significant initiative will be aggressive focus on demand deposit penetration in our markets via a direct marketing program. All of our strategic efforts are intended to grow and diversify our revenue streams, support sustained profitability and better serve the customer.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report refers to the efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, net of gains or losses on securities, fixed assets and foreclosed assets. The efficiency ratio is not a recognized reporting measure under Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (USGAAP). We believe this measure provides investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for USGAAP. VFG, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible, because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures and estimates of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. In addition, USGAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. The Company’s affiliate banks conduct an analysis of the loan portfolio on a regular basis. This analysis is used in assessing the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and in the determination of the necessary provision for loan losses. The review process generally begins with lenders identifying problem loans to be reviewed on an individual basis for impairment. When a loan has been identified as impaired, a specific reserve may be established based on the bank’s calculation of the loss embedded in the individual loan. In addition to impairment testing, the banks have an eight point grading system for each non-homogeneous loan in the portfolio. The loans meeting the criteria for impairment are segregated from performing loans within the portfolio. Loans are then grouped by loan type and, in the case of commercial loans, by risk rating. Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on historical loss experience, economic conditions, and overall portfolio quality including delinquency rates. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement.

 

14


Goodwill

Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually to determine whether write-downs of the recorded balances are necessary. In this testing, the Company employs general industry practices in accordance with USGAAP. A fair value is determined for each reporting unit using various market valuation methodologies. If the fair values of the reporting units exceed their book values, no write-down of recorded goodwill is necessary. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less, an expense may be required on the Company’s books to write down the related goodwill to the proper carrying value. The Company tests for impairment of goodwill in September each year, and again at any quarter-end if any material events occur during a quarter that may affect goodwill. Through its annual analysis as of September 30, 2006, the Company has not identified any impairment of its goodwill. No events occurred during the fourth quarter 2006 necessitating a re-test of goodwill impairment. No assurance can be given that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan under which nonqualified stock options may be granted periodically to certain employees. The Company’s stock options typically have an exercise price equal to at least the fair value of the stock on the date of grant, and vest based on continued service with the Company for a specified period, generally five years. The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method and as such, results for prior periods have not been restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, the value of restricted stock awards was expensed by the Company over the restriction period, and no compensation expense was recognized for stock option grants as all such grants had an exercise price not less than fair market value on the date of grant.

SFAS 123R also requires that new awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested be recognized as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

The primary source of VFG’s traditional banking revenue is net interest income, which represents the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets. Earning assets include loans, securities, and federal funds sold. Interest bearing liabilities include deposits and borrowings. To compare the tax-exempt yields to taxable yields, amounts are adjusted to pretax equivalents based on a 35% federal corporate income tax rate.

Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, volume of interest bearing assets and liabilities, and the composition of those assets and liabilities. The “interest rate spread” and “net interest margin” are two common statistics related to changes in net interest income. The interest rate spread represents the difference between the yields earned on interest earning assets and the rates paid for interest bearing liabilities. The net interest margin is defined as the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets. Earning assets obtained through noninterest bearing sources of funds such as regular demand deposits and stockholders’ equity result in a net interest margin that is higher than the interest rate spread.

 

15


2006 Compared to 2005

Tax equivalent net interest income in 2006 was $62.1 million, an increase of $3.7 million or 6.3% compared to $58.5 million in 2005. Improvements in the growth and mix of average earning assets were primary contributors to this growth and outpaced the margin compression for the year. Average interest earning assets increased $95.9 million or 7.0% to $1.46 billion, while average loans increased $75.2 or 6.8% to $1.19 billion.

The average interest rate spread was 3.66% in 2006, down eighteen basis points from 3.84% in 2005. The net interest margin was 4.25% in 2006, down four basis points from 4.29% in 2005. The slight decrease in the Company’s net interest margin was a result of several factors, including a modestly liability sensitive position in a rising rate environment, additional wholesale funding costs and a more aggressive pricing of deposits with durations of nine months or less to minimize exposure to a potential downward cycle in short term rates, offset partially by the aforementioned changes in asset mix. The yield on average loans increased seventy-one basis points in 2006, reflecting the increase in short term rates during the year, while the yield on investment securities increased thirty-seven basis points for the period. Interest expense as a percentage of average earning assets increased to 2.44%, up sixty-nine basis points from 1.75% in 2005, reflecting a seventy-three basis point increase in average cost of retail deposits to 2.76%, and an eighty-three basis point increase in average total funding cost to 3.03%.

2005 Compared to 2004

Tax equivalent net interest income in 2005 was $58.5 million, an increase of $5.9 million or 11.2% compared to $52.6 million in 2004. Improvements in the growth and mix of average earning assets, coupled with net interest margin expansion, were primary contributors to this growth. Average interest earning assets increased $62.7 million or 4.8% to $1.36 billion, while average loans increased $121.3 or 12.2% to $1.11 billion.

The average interest rate spread was 3.84% in 2005, up thirteen basis points from 3.71% in 2004. The net interest margin was 4.29% in 2005, up twenty-five basis points from 4.04% in 2004. The increase in the Company’s net interest margin was a result of several factors, including changes in asset mix, a modestly asset sensitive position in a rising rate environment, offset partially by additional wholesale funding costs. The yield on average loans receivable increased forty-eight basis points in 2005, reflecting the increase in short term rates during the year, while the yield on investment securities increased nine basis points for the period. Interest expense as a percentage of average earning assets increased to 1.75%, up twenty-four basis points from 1.51% in 2004, reflecting a twenty-five basis point increase in average cost of retail deposits to 2.03%, and an increase in average total funding cost to 2.20%.

NONINTEREST INCOME

2006 Compared to 2005

Noninterest income increased to $15.5 million in 2006, an increase of $42 thousand or .3% compared to 2005. The 2006 results include a loss of $196 thousand on sale of securities available for sale. Included in the 2005 results were net gains on sales of securities available for sale of $296 thousand and a net gain of $421 thousand in connection with the sale of two branches located in Tazewell County. Retail banking fees increased to $7.0 million, an increase of $28 thousand or .4% from 2005. Increases in fees associated with new account generation and debit card activity were offset by decreases in the volume of overdrafts.

Gains on sales of mortgage loans from mortgage banking activities decreased to $2.9 million, a decrease of $222 thousand or 7.2%. Due to the higher mortgage rates and a cooling of real estate markets during 2006, the Company experienced a decline in mortgage originations in both purchase money and refinance mortgages when compared to the robust levels noted during 2005. VFG originated $134.1 million and sold $138.6 million of secondary mortgage loans during 2006, compared to $176.5 million originated and $176.1 million sold in 2005.

Commissions and fees from fiduciary and brokerage activities associated with our trust and wealth management activities increased to $3.9 million for 2006, an increase of $187 thousand or 5.1% over 2005. At December 31, 2006, VFG’s trust affiliate had assets under management and brokerage assets of $597 million, compared to $511 million at December 31, 2005.

Other operating income increased to $1.7 million in 2006 an increase of $587 thousand or 55.1% compared to 2005. The largest contributors to this increase were a $489 thousand in commission revenue generated by Virginia Financial Title Agency (VFTA) which opened during 2006 and $231 thousand of income related to bank owned life insurance (BOLI) offset by minor decreases in commissions from the sale of other banking products. Income produced by VFTA is aggregated into the income generated by our subsidiary banks and is considered an operating entity, but not a separate reporting entity or segment.

2005 Compared to 2004

Noninterest income increased to $15.4 million in 2005, an increase of $899 thousand or 6.2% compared to 2004. Retail banking fees decreased to $7.0 million, a decrease of $568 thousand or 7.6% from 2004. Decreased fees associated with overdraft charges accounted for most of this decrease.

Gains on sales of mortgage loans from mortgage banking activities increased to $3.1 million, an increase of $627 thousand or 25.4%. The Company experienced higher levels of mortgage originations in both purchase money and refinance mortgages during 2005. VFG originated $176.5 million and sold $176.1 million of secondary mortgage loans during 2005, compared to $148.2 million originated and $150.1 million sold in 2004.

Commissions and fees from fiduciary and brokerage activities associated with our trust and wealth management activities increased to $3.7 million for 2005, an increase of $210 thousand or 6.1% over 2004. At December 31, 2005, VFG’s trust affiliate had assets under management and brokerage assets of $511 million, compared to $515 million at December 31, 2004.

The Company realized a gain of $421 thousand during 2005 in conjunction with the sale of two branches located in Tazewell County, Virginia. The Company also realized a gain on sale of securities during 2005 of $296 thousand.

Other operating income amounted to $1.1 million in 2005, essentially flat with 2004.

Noninterest expenses increased to $46.9 million in 2006, an increase of $3.2 million or 7.4% over 2005. This increase was mainly attributable to the following factors:

 

   

Additional operating, compensation and occupancy costs arising from the opening of four additional full-service branches.

 

   

Compensation and benefits associated with merit increases and additional costs associated with employee benefit costs, particularly health and welfare plans.

 

   

Costs associated with marketing and branding initiatives.

 

   

Expenses related to strategic initiatives within our secondary mortgage division.

 

   

Increase in bank franchise taxes associated with increased capital levels coupled with decreased qualifying securities deductions.

Noninterest expenses increased to $43.7 million in 2005, an increase of $2.7 million or 6.5% over 2004. This increase was mainly attributable to the following factors:

 

   

Compensation and benefits associated with merit increases and additional costs associated with employee benefit costs, particularly health and welfare plans.

 

   

Compensation and benefits associated with a $1.7 million increase in incentive accruals.

 

   

Costs associated with marketing and branding initiatives.

 

   

General decreases in operational costs (data processing, professional fees, telecommunications) associated with improved operating efficiency and sale of Tazewell branches.

 

   

Increase in bank franchise taxes associated with increased capital levels coupled with decreased qualifying securities deductions.

INCOME TAXES

For the year ended December 31, 2006, income taxes were $8.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.2% compared to $8.4 million or 31.4% in 2005 and $6.6 million or 30.2% in 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2006 as compared to 2005 can be attributed to the tax free income generated by the investment in bank owned life insurance and investments in tax credits. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2005 as compared to 2004 can be attributed to a higher proportion of earnings from tax-exempt assets, such as obligations of states and political subdivisions during those years.

The balance of the allowance for loan losses was $14.5 million as of December 31, 2006, compared to $13.6 million and $11.7 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The allowance for loan losses was 1.19% of outstanding loans as of both December 31, 2006, and 2005 and 1.10% as of December 31, 2004. The allowance as a percentage of loans during 2006 and 2005 remained consistent and increased when compared to 2004 due to the following:

 

   

An increase in commercial real estate concentration over the last several years. Including multifamily, nonresidential and junior liens, commercial real estate loans which remained stable in 2006 and grew $85.7 million in 2005, representing growth of and 16.9%.

 

   

A real estate market that remains soft. Commercial real estate activity experienced a significant decline in our markets during the second half of 2006. The number of building permits issued, median home sales prices, new homes in inventory, number of days on market, housing affordability and new mortgage originations indicate that a general cyclical decline in the residential real estate market is occurring as well.

 

   

The growing popularity of non-traditional mortgage products. While the Company’s affiliate banks do not originate non-traditional mortgages within their own portfolios, we do have the risk associated with borrowers who have them. The allowance analysis has considered this and other factors in the determination of soft factors.

 

21


Net (recoveries) charge-offs were ($169 thousand) during 2006, compared to $137 thousand during 2005 and $571 thousand during 2004. The percentage of net (recoveries) charge-offs to average loans was (0.01%) for 2006, 0.01% for 2005, and 0.06% for 2004, reflecting a slightly improved level of (recovery) charge-off experience.

The increase in the allocation to the real estate – construction category mirrors the growth noted in this category of the loan portfolio during 2006. It now represents 16.3% of total loans compared to 10.2% of total loans in 2005. The largest allowance allocation is to the real estate-mortgage loan portfolio, which represents approximately 51.9% of the allowance balance at December 31, 2006. The increase in 2004 was primarily the result of commercial real estate loan growth, which normally carries a higher risk rating and allowance allocation than 1-4 family mortgages. The real estate – mortgage category represented 76.4% of total loans outstanding at year end, of which approximately 55% represented a non-homogeneous portfolio consisting of loans collateralized by commercial real estate.

If interest on nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings had been accrued, such income would have approximated $181 thousand, $91 thousand $118, $108 thousand and $37 thousand for each of the five years ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

Non-performing assets consist of VFG’s non-accrual loans, troubled-debt restructurings, and other property owned. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when the collection of principal and interest is ninety days or more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. For those loans which are carried on non-accrual status, interest is recognized on a cash basis. At December 31, 2006, total non-performing assets totaled $3.0 million, an increase of $1.2 million from 2005. For 2005, total nonperforming assets were $1.8 million, a decrease of $2.2 million from 2004. The increase in 2006 is attributed to sever al small relationships that are well collateralized. The decrease in 2005 is attributable to a reduction in restructured loans of $1.3 million. All remaining restructured loans are performing as agreed and, in the opinion of management, are adequately reserved. Non-accrual loans consist of predominately all single-family mortgage loans that are well collateralized.

Loan Portfolio

At December 31, 2006, loans, net of unearned income and the allowance for loan losses, totaled $1.20 billion, an increase of $73.6 million or 6.5% from $1.13 billion in 2005. The commercial real estate portfolio, which is a component of the real estate – mortgage portfolio, amounted to $577.2 million at December 31, 2006 and represents 47.4% of the total portfolio. At December 31, 2006, off balance sheet unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit amounted to $386.2 million, compared to $413.9 million at December 31, 2005. These commitments may be secured or unsecured. On December 31, 2006, VFG had no concentration of loans to any one industry in excess of 10% of its loan portfolio.

Borrowings

In 2006 the Company concentrated on promoting the commercial paper product to large commercial customers and consequently reduced securities sold under agreements to repurchase by $15.9 million from December 31, 2005, to December 31, 2006. The increase in commercial paper of $34.2 million or 139.5%, during 2006 not only eliminated the reliance on securities sold under agreements to repurchase, but in combination with a $25 million net increase in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, also provided a funding source for balance sheet growth throughout the current year.

Capital Adequacy

The management of capital in a regulated financial services industry must properly balance return on equity to stockholders while maintaining sufficient capital levels and related risk-based capital ratios to satisfy regulatory requirements. Additionally, capital management must also consider acquisition opportunities that may exist, and the resulting accounting treatment. VFG’s capital management strategies have been developed to provide attractive rates of returns to stockholders, while maintaining its “well-capitalized” position at each of the banking subsidiaries.

The primary source of additional capital to VFG is earnings retention, which represents net income less dividends declared. During 2006 VFG retained $12.9 million, or 66.0% of its net income. Stockholders’ equity increased by $14.5 million, reflecting comprehensive income of $1.3 million related primarily to unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale during the period.

VFG and its banking affiliates are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on VFG and the affiliate banks’ financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action under FDICIA, VFG and its banking affiliates must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and reclassifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require VFG and its banking affiliates to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to average assets. As of December 31, 2006, and 2005 VFG and the subsidiary banks met all minimum capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and are categorized as “well capitalized.” There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the subsidiary banks’ category.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is identified as the ability to generate or acquire sufficient amounts of cash when needed and at a reasonable cost to accommodate withdrawals, payments of debt, and increased loan demand. These events may occur daily or at other short-term intervals in the normal operation of the business. Experience helps management predict time cycles in the amount of cash required. In assessing liquidity, management gives consideration to relevant factors including stability of deposits, quality of assets, economic conditions in the market served, concentrations of business and industry, competition, and VFG’s overall financial condition. VFG’s bank affiliates have available a combined $247 million line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, unused lines of credit totaling $92.4 million with nonaffiliated banks and access to the Federal Reserve discount window to support liquidity as conditions dictate.

The liquidity of the parent Company also represents an important aspect of liquidity management. The parent Company’s cash outflows consist of overhead associated with corporate expenses, executive management, finance, marketing, loan and deposit operations, information technology, human resources, audit, compliance and credit administration functions. It also includes outflows associated with dividends to shareholders. The main sources of funding for the parent Company are the management fees and dividends it receives from its banking and trust subsidiaries, nonrated commercial paper issued by the Company, a working line of credit with a correspondent bank, and availability of the trust preferred security market as deemed necessary. During 2006, the banking subsidiaries and the non-bank subsidiary paid $13.0 million in management fees and transferred $12.5 million dividends to VFG. As of January 1, 2007, the aggregate amount of additional unrestricted funds, which could be transferred from the banking subsidiaries to the VFG without prior regulatory approval totaled $42.1 million or 27.9% of the consolidated net assets. The parent Company generated approximately $8.5 million in cash flow from operating activities in 2006. It paid dividends to stockholders of $6.6 million, invested $600 thousand in fixed assets and borrowed $34.2 million under its commercial paper program which it invested in short term investment instruments.

In the judgment of management, VFG maintains the ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash to cover normal requirements and any additional needs which may arise, within realistic limitations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2006, the Company has not participated in any material unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities. VFG does have significant commitments to fund loans in the ordinary course of business.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005 the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

 

     2006    2005

Commitments to extend credit

   $ 370,575    $ 397,341

Standby letters of credit

     15,634      16,602

Mortgage loans sold with potential recourse

     50,648      53,776

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are usually uncollateralized and do not always contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary. The Company, through its banking subsidiaries, originates loans for sale to secondary market investors subject to contractually specified and limited recourse provisions. In 2006, the Company originated $134 million and sold $139 million to investors, compared to $177 million originated and $176 million sold in 2005. Most contracts with investors contain certain recourse language which may vary from 90 days up to twelve months. The Company may have an obligation to repurchase a loan if the mortgagor has defaulted early in the loan term. Mortgages subject to recourse are collateralized by single family residences, have loan-to-value ratios of 80% or less, or have private mortgage insurance or are insured or guaranteed by an agency of the United States government. At December 31, 2006, the Company had locked-rate commitments to originate mortgage loans amounting to approximately $10.8 million and loans held for sale of $7.6 million. The Company has entered into commitments, on a best-effort basis to sell loans of approximately $18.4 million. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2006, FASB Issued Statement No. 155 (SFAS 155), “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.”

The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 155 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement 140” (Statement 156). Statement 156 amends Statement 140 with respect to separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. Statement 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract and requires all servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Statement 156 also permits entities to subsequently measure servicing assets and liabilities using an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of servicing. Under the fair value measurement method, servicing assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in net income for the period the change occurs.

Adoption of Statement 156 is required as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 156 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (as amended)” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Because the Company is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions, it does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

29


In September 2006, FASB Issued Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The techniques most commonly used in practice to accumulate and quantify misstatements are generally referred to as the “rollover” and “iron curtain” approaches.

Because the Company is not aware of any material misstatement, it does not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Financial institutions can be exposed to several market risks that may impact the value or future earnings capacity of an organization. These risks involve interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk and equity market price risk. VFG’s primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is inherent because as a financial institution, VFG derives a significant amount of its operating revenue from “purchasing” funds (customer deposits and borrowings) at various terms and rates. These funds are then invested into earning assets (loans, investments, etc.) at various terms and rates. This risk is further discussed below.

Equity market risk is not a significant risk to VFG as equity investments on a cost basis comprise less than 1% of corporate assets. VFG does not have any exposure to foreign currency exchange risk or commodity price risk.

Interest rate risk is the exposure to fluctuations in VFG’s future earnings (earnings at risk) and value (economic value at risk) resulting from changes in interest rates. This exposure results from differences between the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities that reprice within a specified time period as a result of scheduled maturities and repayment and contractual interest rate changes.

The primary objective of VFG’s asset/liability management process is to maximize current and future net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Management recognizes that a certain amount of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate. Thus the goal of interest rate risk management is to maintain a balance between risk and reward such that net interest income is maximized while risk is maintained at a level tolerable to the board of directors.

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

The Company enters into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. Time elapsing between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 30 to 120 days. The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery contracts, whereby the Company commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan. As a result, the Company is not exposed to losses nor will it realize significant gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates.

 

30


Management endeavors to control the exposures to changes in interest rates by understanding, reviewing and making decisions based on its risk position. The corporate asset/liability committee is responsible for these decisions. VFG primarily uses the securities portfolios and FHLB advances to manage its interest rate risk position. Additionally, pricing, promotion and product development activities are directed in an effort to emphasize the loan and deposit term or repricing characteristics that best meet current interest rate risk objectives. At present, VFG does not use off-balance sheet instruments to hedge against interest rate risk. The committee operates under management policies defining guidelines and limits on the level of risk. These policies are approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company and bank subsidiaries. VFG uses simulation analysis to assess earnings at risk and Economic Value of Equity analysis to assess value at risk. These methods allow management to regularly monitor both the direction and magnitude of VFG’s interest rate risk exposure. These modeling techniques involve assumptions and estimates that inherently cannot be measured with complete precision. Key assumptions in the analyses include maturity and repricing characteristics of both assets and liabilities, prepayments on amortizing assets, other imbedded options, non-maturity deposit sensitivity and loan and deposit pricing. These assumptions are inherently uncertain due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors. However, the analyses are useful in quantifying risk and provide a relative gauge of VFG’s interest rate risk position over time.

Earnings at Risk

Simulation analysis evaluates the effect of upward and downward changes in market interest rates on future net interest income. The analysis involves changing the interest rates used in determining net interest income over the next twelve months. The resulting percentage change in net interest income in various rate scenarios is an indication of VFG’s shorter-term interest rate risk. The analysis utilizes a “static” balance sheet approach. The measurement date balance sheet composition (or mix) is maintained over the simulation time period with maturing and repayment dollars being rolled back into like instruments for new terms at current market rates. Additional assumptions are applied to modify volumes and pricing under the various rate scenarios. These include prepayment assumptions on mortgage assets, the sensitivity of non-maturity deposit rates, and other factors deemed significant.

The simulation analysis results are presented in the table below. These results, as of December 31, 2006, indicate that VFG would expect net interest income to decrease over the next twelve months by 1.1% assuming an immediate upward shift in market interest rates of 200 basis points and to decrease by 3.8% if rates shifted downward in the same manner. This profile reflects a moderate interest rate risk position and is well within the guidelines set by policy.

Economic Value of Equity

The Economic Value of Equity (EVE) analysis provides information on the risk inherent in the balance sheet that might not be taken into account in the simulation analysis due to the shorter time horizon used in that analysis. The EVE of the balance sheet is defined as the discounted present value of expected asset cash flows minus the discounted present value of expected liability cash flows. The analysis involves changing the interest rates used in determining the expected cash flows and in discounting the cash flows. The resulting percentage change in EVE in various rate scenarios is an indication of the longer term repricing risk and options embedded in the balance sheet.

The EVE analysis results are presented in the table below. These results as of December 31, 2006 indicate that the EVE would increase 0.6% assuming an immediate upward shift in market interest rates of 200 basis points and decrease 8.0% if rates shifted downward in the same manner. The risk position of VFG is within the guidelines set by policy.

To the Shareholders and Directors

Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and Affiliates

Culpeper, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. We also have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control— Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, management’s assessment that Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Furthermore, in our opinion, Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Consolidation

Virginia Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Virginia multi-bank holding Company headquartered in Culpeper, Virginia. The Company owns Second Bank & Trust and its subsidiary, Second Service Company; Virginia Heartland Bank and its subsidiary, Virginia Heartland Service Corporation; Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia and its subsidiary, Planters Insurance Agency, Inc.; Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company and VFG Limited Liability Trust. VFG, through its affiliates, also owns a 70% interest in VFG Title, LLC. The consolidated statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts have been eliminated. FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R) requires that the Company no longer eliminate through consolidation the equity investment in VFG Limited Liability Trust by the parent company, Virginia Financial Group, Inc., which approximated $619,000 at December 31, 2006. The subordinated debt to the trust is reflected as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet.

VFG combined Virginia Heartland Bank (Fredericksburg) into its Second Bank & Trust (Culpeper) affiliate on February 16, 2007. The two banks are geographically contiguous, share increasingly similar market dynamics and offer the opportunity to create efficiencies and management depth.

The Company, through its member banks, provides a full array of banking services through forty-one retail offices in Central and Southwest Virginia. Among such services are those traditionally offered by banks including commercial and consumer demand and time deposit accounts, mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. The Company also provides a network of automated transaction locations, phone banking and a transactional internet banking product. Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company provides comprehensive wealth management, financial and estate-planning services through each of it’s community banks.

Risks and Uncertainties

In its normal course of business, the Company encounters two significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more rapidly or on a different basis than its interest-earning assets. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s loan portfolio that results from the borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of collateral underlying loans receivable, securities and the valuation of real estate held by the Company.

The determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate are based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate are adequate based on information currently available. A worsening or protracted economic decline or substantial increase in interest rates would increase the likelihood of losses due to credit and market risks and could create the need for substantial increases in the allowance for loan losses.

The Company is subject to the regulations of various regulatory agencies, which can change significantly from year to year. In addition, the Company undergoes periodic examinations by regulatory agencies, which may subject it to further changes based on the regulators’ judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to accepted practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies and practices.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one day periods.

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate and deferred tax assets.

Investment Securities

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. The initial classification of securities is determined at the date of purchase.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated increase in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

The Company, through its banking subsidiaries, is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank and is required to hold stock in each institution. These equity securities are restricted from trading and are recorded in other assets at a cost of $8.1 million and $6.6 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These are considered cost basis securities.

Loans

The Company, through its banking subsidiaries, grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in the Company’s market area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method. These amounts are generally being amortized over the contractual life of the loan.

The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Installment loans and other personal loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan balances are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The Company’s affiliate Banks conduct an analysis of the loan portfolio on a regular basis. This analysis is used in assessing the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and in the determination of the necessary provision for loan losses. The review process generally begins with lenders identifying problem loans to be reviewed on an individual basis for impairment. When a loan has been identified as impaired, then a specific reserve may be established based on the Banks’ calculation of the loss embedded in the individual loan. In addition to impairment testing, the Banks have an eight point grading system for each non-homogeneous loan in the portfolio. The loans meeting the criteria for impairment are segregated from performing loans within the portfolio. Loans are then grouped by loan type and, in the case of commercial loans, by risk rating. Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on historical loss experience, economic conditions, and the overall portfolio quality including delinquency rates. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses, reflecting the imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in these methodologies. The total of specific reserves required for impaired classified loans, calculated reserves by loan category and the unallocated reserve are then compared to the recorded allowance for loan losses. This is the methodology used to determine the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and the amount of the provision for loan losses.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement.

Loans Held For Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with the mortgage servicing rights released by the Company. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold.

The Company accounts for the transfer of financial assets in accordance with SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. The standard is based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The standard provides consistent guidelines for distinguishing transfers of financial assets from transfers that are secured borrowings

The Company enters into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. Time elapsing between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 30 to 120 days. The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery contracts, whereby the Company commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan. As a result, the Company is not exposed to losses nor will it realize significant gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates.

The market value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts is not readily ascertainable with precision because rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Company determines the fair value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts by measuring the change in the value of the underlying asset while taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close. Due to high correlation between rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts, no significant gains or losses have occurred on the rate lock commitments.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Premises and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from three years to thirty-nine years; leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement, whichever is less. Software is amortized over three years. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on the straight-line method.

The Company accounts for impairment of long lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The standard requires recognition and measurement for the impairment of long lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of by sale. The Company had no impaired long lived assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI)

The Company has purchased bank owned life insurance. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Company on a chosen group of employees. The proceeds are used to help defray employee benefit costs. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. The Company originally invested $10.0 million in BOLI in 2006. BOLI is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at its cash surrender value and changes in the cash surrender value are recorded in noninterest income. BOLI income is tax-exempt.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and identified intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization. They are subject to an annual assessment for impairment, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. This test involves assigning tangible assets and liabilities, identified intangible assets and goodwill to reporting units and comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a further test is required to measure impairment. Based on the results of these tests, the Company concluded that none of its recorded goodwill was impaired.

Additionally, acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) are separately recognized and amortized over their useful life if the benefit of the asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged. Intangible assets associated with branch acquisition transactions continue to be amortized over the estimated useful life of the deposits. The cost of purchased deposit relationships and other intangible assets, based on independent valuation, are being amortized over their estimated lives not to exceed fifteen years. Amortization expense charged to operations was $578 thousand in 2006, $643 thousand in 2005 and $694 thousand in 2004.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

Retirement Plans

The Company has a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan covering certain of its employees meeting certain age and service requirements. The plan has not been offered to new employees after June, 2002. The Company’s funding policy is to make the maximum contribution permitted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. In 2006, the Company adopted Statement No. 158, (“SFAS No. 158”) “Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – An amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. The new standard requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize through comprehensive income changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur. The liability recognized in the current year’s balance sheet was $401 thousand and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company also has a contribution retirement plan which covers the majority of its full-time salaried employees for all years presented. Contributions are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan under which nonqualified stock options may be granted periodically to certain employees. The Company’s stock options typically have an exercise price equal to at least the fair value of the stock on the date of grant, and vest based on continued service with the Company for a specified period, generally five years. The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method and as such, results for prior periods have not been restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, the value of restricted stock awards was expensed by the Company over the restriction period, and no compensation expense was recognized for stock option grants as all such grants had an exercise price not less than fair market value on the date of grant.

SFAS 123R also requires that new awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested be recognized as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award.

During 2005 and 2004, the Company applied the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in results of operations, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based compensation.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     Year Ended December 31  
     2006     2005     2004  

Dividend yield

   2.4 %   2.4 %   2.4 %

Expected life

   6.5 yrs     10 yrs     10 yrs  

Expected volatility

   28.1 %   26.6 %   30.4 %

Risk-free interest rate

   4.6 %   4.2 %   4.4 %

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represent income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common stock had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and restricted stock and are determined using the treasury method.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company has in effect a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, which provides an automatic conversion of dividends into common stock for enrolled stockholders. It is based on the stock’s fair market value on each dividend record date, and allows for voluntary contributions to purchase stock.

Trust Assets and Revenue

Securities and other property held by the Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Company and are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Operating revenues and expenses of the Trust Company are included under their respective captions in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of income and are recorded on the accrual basis.

Foreclosed Assets

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation are included in other operating expenses.

Advertising

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising expense of $1.2 million, $887 thousand, and $636 thousand were incurred in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Segment Information

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosure about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The statement also requires that public enterprises report a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items and segment assets. It also requires that information be reported about revenues derived from the enterprises’ products or services, or about the countries in which the enterprises earn revenues and hold assets, and about major customers, regardless of whether the information is used in making operating decisions.

Management has determined that the Company has one reportable segment, “Community Banking.” All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each of the activities of the Company supports the others. For example, commercial lending is dependent upon the ability of the Company to fund itself with retail deposits and other borrowings and to manage interest rate and credit risk. This situation is also similar for consumer and residential mortgage lending. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one operating segment or unit.

The Company has also identified several operating segments. These operating segments within the Company’s operations do not have similar characteristics to the community banking operations and do not meet the quantitative thresholds requiring separate disclosure. These nonreportable segments include Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company, our mortgage division, a title company, and the parent.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, FASB Issued Statement No. 155 (SFAS 155), “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets .”

The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 155 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement 140” (Statement 156). Statement 156 amends Statement 140 with respect to separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. Statement 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract and requires all servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Statement 156 also permits entities to subsequently measure servicing assets and liabilities using an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under the amortization method, servicing

 

47

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in Thousands, except share data)

 

assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of servicing. Under the fair value measurement method, servicing assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in net income for the period the change occurs.

Adoption of Statement 156 is required as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 156 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (as amended)” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Because the Company is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions, it does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB Issued Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The techniques most commonly used in practice to accumulate and quantify misstatements are generally referred to as the “rollover” and “iron curtain” approaches.

Because the Company is not aware of any material misstatement, it does not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

There are a total of 172 securities that have unrealized losses as of December 31, 2006, 32 U.S. Agency securities, 39 U.S. Agency MBS securities, 97 municipal securities, one CMO, one corporate security and two preferred stock securities. There were a total of 129 securities that had unrealized losses as of December 31, 2005, 30 U.S. Treasuries or agency securities, 35 U.S. Agency MBS securities, 60 municipal securities, two CMO, one corporate security and one preferred stock security. The debt securities are obligations of entities that are excellent credit risks. The impairment as noted is the result of interest rate market conditions and does not reflect on the ability of the issuers to repay the debt obligations. The preferred stock category represents ownership in preferred stock of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). Freddie Mac’s credit rating did not change during 2006 or 2005 as measured by Moody’s and S&P. The impairment is the result of interest rate market conditions and there is a high probability of full recovery of investment. The fixed income nature of this investment causes significant movement in value in relation to the fixed income market. However, there is no change in the dividend stream or credit quality as a result. The Company maintains the ability and intent to hold such securities for the foreseeable future.

Total impaired loans

   $ 9,048    $ 5,415    $ 8,315
                    

Allowance provided for impaired loans, included in the allowance for loan losses

   $ 750    $ 684    $ 1,166
                    

Average balance in impaired loans

   $ 9,269    $ 5,670    $ 9,379
                    

Interest income recognized on impaired loans

   $ 511    $ 347    $ 574
                    

Interest income recognized on a cash basis on impaired loans

   $ 501    $ 339    $ 594
                    

Because the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement some nonaccrual loans are not reviewed for impairment. Nonaccrual loans excluded from the impaired loan disclosure under FASB 114 amounted to $1.6 million, $953 thousand, and $1.4 million at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. If interest on these loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $181 thousand, $91 thousand and $118 thousand for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

There were no loans past due greater than 90 days and still accruing interest for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006.

Note 11. Subordinated Debt

During the first quarter of 2004, VFG Limited Liability Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable Capital Securities (commonly referred to as Subordinated debt). On March 18, 2004, $20 million of Subordinated debt was issued through a private transaction. The Trust issued $619 thousand in common equity to the Company. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest which adjusts, and is payable, quarterly. The interest rate at December 31, 2006 was 8.10%. The securities may be redeemed at par beginning in June, 2009 and each quarterly anniversary of such date until the securities mature on June 17, 2034. The principal asset of the Trust is $20.6 million of the Virginia Financial Group’s junior subordinated debt securities with the like maturities and like interest rates to the Capital Securities.

The Subordinated debt may be included in Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier I capital after its inclusion. The portion of the Subordinated debt not considered as Tier I capital may be included in Tier II capital.

The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the capital securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations with respect to the capital securities.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related capital securities.

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Company’s incentive stock option plan, the Company may grant options to purchase common stock to its directors, officers and employees of up to 750,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. The plan requires that options be granted at an exercise price equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Such options vest over a five-year period and will expire in no more than ten years after the date of grant. The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method and as such, results for prior periods have not been restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, the value of restricted stock awards was expensed by the Company over the restriction period, and no compensation expense was recognized for stock option grants as all such grants had an exercise price not less than fair market value on the date of grant.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment”. Statement 123 (R) requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

Statement 123 (R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.

Statement 123 (R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees”. Statement 123, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used.

Because the Company adopted Statement 123 (R) using the modified prospective transition method, prior periods have not been restated. Under this method, the Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company measured share-based compensation cost using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock option grants prior to January 1, 2006 and anticipates using this pricing mode for future grants. Forfeitures did not affect the calculated expense based upon historical activities of option grantees.

At December 31, 2006, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan. Share-based compensation of $420 thousand in the aggregate was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2006, which related to the unvested portion of options to acquire shares of Company common stock and restricted shares granted prior to January 1, 2006. Reported net income, adjusting for share-based compensation that would have been recognized in the adoption of Statement 123 (R) did not change the way that the Company has accounted for stock awards in prior periods and therefore no such change is reflected in the pro forma table below. The Company expenses the fair value of stock awards determined at the grant date on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the options outstanding as of December 31, 2006 was $1.4 million. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the year ended December 31, 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of options outstanding). The aggregate intrinsic value of the options currently exercisable as of December 31, 2006 was $1.2 million. The weighted average remaining contractual life is 5.3 years for exercisable options at December 31, 2006.

As of December 31, 2006, there was $552 thousand of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested options, respectively, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.9 years.

The incentive stock option plan also allows for the issuance of restricted share awards. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions, generally three to five years from the date of grant. Restricted stock has dividend rights equal to the cumulative cash dividend accrued during the restriction period, which are paid upon expiration of the restriction and issuance of the shares. Restricted shares do not have the voting rights of common stock until the restriction expires and the shares are issued. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, determined to be the fair value of the shares at the date of grant, ratably over the period of the restriction. Compensation expense associated with such awards amounted to $210 thousand, $332 thousand and $201 thousand for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company had 30,058 shares of restricted stock awarded and nonvested at December 31, 2006 with a total unrecognized compensation expense of $553 thousand, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.

Note 14. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company and its banking subsidiaries maintain several tax qualified and non-qualified employee benefit plans for employees, which are described below.

The Company has a noncontributory pension plan which conforms to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The amount of benefits payable under the plan is determined by an employee’s period of credited service. The amount of normal retirement benefit will be determined based on a Pension Equity Credit formula. The employee receives credits based on their age and years of service. The plan provides for early retirement for participants with five years of service and the attainment of age 55. A participant who terminates employment with 2 or more years of service will be entitled to a benefit. The benefits are payable in single or joint/survivor annuities as well as a lump sum payment upon retirement or separation of service.

The Company adopted SFAS 158 effective as of the year ending December 31, 2006 regarding the recognition of the funded status of the benefit plan. The new standard requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity. The standard also requires an employer to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, and shall not be applied retrospectively.

The incremental effect of applying SFAS No. 158 on individual line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheets is as follows (In Thousands):

The Company selects the expected long-term rate-of-return-on-assets assumption in consultation with their investment advisors and actuary. This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits. Historical performance is reviewed—especially with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation)—for the major asset classes held or anticipated to be held by the trust, and for the trust itself. Undue weight is not given to recent experience—that may not continue over the measurement period—with higher significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term economic conditions.

Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes. Further—solely for this purpose—the plan is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period during which assets are invested. However, consideration is given to the potential impact of current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of the trust, and expenses (both investment and non-investment) typically paid from plan assets (to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within periodic cost).

The plan’s weighted average asset allocations at December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, by asset category are as follows:

 

     Plan Assets at
December 31
 

Asset Category

The investment policy and strategies for the plan assets can best be described as a capital growth and with current cash income strategy. The target allocation for equities is 75% of the total portfolio through the use of large and mid capitalization companies. The remaining asset allocation is to fixed income investments and money market funds. The portfolio is diversified by limiting the holding in any one equity issue to no more than 5% of total equities and one industry to no more than 25%. All fixed income investments are rated as investment grade with the majority of the assets in corporate issues. The assets are managed by the Company’s wholly-owned trust Corporation, Virginia Commonwealth Trust Corporation. The portfolio does not include any position in Virginia Financial Group, Inc.

The Company anticipates that the contribution level for 2007 will remain at a comparable level to that realized in 2006.

Estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are as follows:

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company has a contribution retirement plan covering certain employees. Contributions amounted to $887 thousand, $625 thousand, and $682 thousand for the three years ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

The Company has a 401 (k) Savings Plan eligible to all employees with matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of salary reduction contributions made by the employee. The Company contributed a matching contribution of $631 thousand, $600 thousand, and $599 thousand for the three years ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

Directors’ Deferred Plan

The Company has a non-qualified Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. This plan allows for the deferral of pre-tax income associated with payment of director fees. Directors may elect to defer all or a portion of their annual directors fees. Monthly board fees are contributed directly to a trust with various investment options, and are held until such time the director is entitled to receive a distribution.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company also has a non-qualified Executive Deferred Compensation Plan for key employees. Pursuant to the plan, the President and any other employees selected by the Board of Directors may defer receipt of a certain amount of pre-tax income and cash incentive compensation for a period of no less than three years or until retirement, subject to termination of employment or certain other events, including an imminent change in control. The Board may make contributions at its discretion. The balance in this plan is recorded in both other assets and other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The deferred compensation charged to expense totaled $50 thousand, $48 thousand, and $22 thousand for the three years ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

Bonus Plan

The Company has an incentive bonus plan under which employees receive compensation directly related to affiliate and Company profitability and budget performance. Compensation under the plan is calculated under pre-determined guidelines set by the Board of Directors. The balance in this plan is recorded in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The amount charged to operations was $1.3 million, $2.3 million, and $520 thousand for the three years ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

Supplemental Retirement Plan

The Company has supplemental retirements agreements with former executive officers of banks previously acquired, which provide benefits payable over fifteen years. The present value of the estimated liability under the agreements is being accrued using a discount rate of 10% and 7.5%, respectively, ratably over the remaining years to the date of eligibility for benefits. The deferred compensation expense charged to expense totaled $97 thousand, $64 thousand, and $49 thousand for the three years ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

Note 18. Stock Split and Par Value Change

On September 6, 2006, the Company paid a three-for-two stock split in the form of a 50% stock dividend. Shareholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2006 received one additional share of the Company’s common stock for every two shares held on that date. On August 24, 2006, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to decrease the par value of the Company’s common stock from $5 per share to $1 per share. All references in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto to the number of common shares and per share amounts for all periods presented have been restated to reflect the three-for-two stock split.

Note 19. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company has noncancellable leases covering certain premises and equipment.

Total rent expense applicable to operating leases was $596 thousand, $569 thousand and $553 thousand for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and was included in occupancy expense.

There are no material proceedings to which the Company or any of our subsidiaries are a party or by which, to the Company’s knowledge, we, or any subsidiaries, are threatened. All legal proceedings presently pending or threatened against the Company or our subsidiaries involve routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company or the subsidiary involved and are not material in respect to the amount in controversy.

In the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments and contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

See Note 21 with respect to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

Note 20. Restrictions on Transfers to Parent

Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the subsidiary banks to the Company. The total amount of dividends which may be paid at any date is generally limited to a portion of retained earnings as defined.

During 2006, the banking subsidiaries and the non-bank subsidiaries paid $12.5 million in dividends to the Company. As of January 1, 2007, the aggregate amount of additional unrestricted funds, which could be transferred from the banking subsidiaries to the Parent Company without prior regulatory approval totaled $42.1 million or 27.9% of the consolidated net assets.

In addition, dividends paid by the subsidiary banks to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the subsidiary banks’ capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.

Note 21. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

The Company, through its banking subsidiaries, is party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amount of those instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005 the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

 

     2006    2005

Commitments to extend credit

   $ 370,575    $ 397,341

Standby letters of credit

     15,634      16,602

Mortgage loans sold with potential recourse

     50,648      53,776

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

 

68


VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in Thousands, except share data)

 

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are usually uncollateralized and do not always contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary. The Company, through its banking subsidiaries, originates loans for sale to secondary market investors subject to contractually specified and limited recourse provisions. In 2006, the Company originated $134 million and sold $139 million to investors, compared to $177 million originated and $176 million sold in 2005. Most contracts with investors contain certain recourse language which may vary from 90 days up to twelve months. The Company may have an obligation to repurchase a loan if the mortgagor has defaulted early in the loan term. Mortgages subject to recourse are collateralized by single family residences, have loan-to-value ratios of 80% or less, or have private mortgage insurance or are insured or guaranteed by an agency of the United States government. At December 31, 2006, the Company had locked-rate commitments to originate mortgage loans amounting to approximately $10.8 million and loans held for sale of $7.6 million. The Company has entered into commitments, on a best-effort basis to sell loans of approximately $18.4 million. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

The Company maintains cash accounts in other commercial banks. The amount on deposit at December 31, 2006 exceeded the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by $242 thousand.

Note 22. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Risk

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.

Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Short-Term Investments

For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities

For securities and marketable equity securities held for investment purposes, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. For other securities held as investments, fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Restricted stock is carried at cost.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated or intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

 

69


VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in Thousands, except share data)

 

Loans

For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant changes in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Commercial Paper / Other Borrowings

The carrying amounts of commercial paper and other borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values. Fair values of commercial paper and other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The fair values of the Company’s Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Subordinated Debt

The values of the Company’s subordinated debt is variable rate instruments that reprice frequently, therefore, carrying value is assumed to approximate fair value.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.

The fair value of stand-by letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

At December 31, 2006, and 2005, the fair value of loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit was immaterial.

Note 23. Regulatory Matters

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and subsidiary banks’ financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action under FDICIA, the Company and the subsidiary banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, that the Company and subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the subsidiary banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the institutions must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the institutions’ category.

Not applicable.

 

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2006 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s’ management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company or its subsidiary to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by Grant Thornton, L.L.P., the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Grant Thornton, LLP’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting follows this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Shareholders and Directors of

Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Virginia Financial Group, Inc. (a Virginia Corporation) and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Virginia Financial Group’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Virginia Financial Group, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, Virginia Financial Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our report dated March 2,2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

OF

VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

I. NAME

The name of the Corporation is Virginia Financial Group, Inc.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose for which the Corporation is organized is to act as a bank holding company and to transact any and all lawful business, not required to be specifically stated in the Articles of Incorporation, for which corporations may be incorporated under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act.

III. CAPITAL STOCK

Section 1. The total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 30,000,000, of which 25,000,000 shares shall be shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share (“Common Stock”), and 5,000,000 shares shall be shares of preferred stock, no par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).

Section 2. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series. Subject to applicable laws, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of Preferred Stock before the issuance of any shares of that series. Such determination may include, without limitation, provisions with respect to voting rights (including rights with respect to any transaction of a specified nature), redemption, exchangeability, convertibility, distribution and preference on dissolution or otherwise. Each series shall be appropriately designated by a distinguishing designation prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The Preferred Stock of all series shall have preferences, limitations and relative rights identical with those of other shares of the same series and, except to the extent otherwise provided in the description of the series, with those of shares of other series of the same class.


Section 3. Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock and subject to any other provisions of these Articles of Incorporation or any amendment hereto, holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Corporation as may be declared by the Board of Directors from time to time.

Section 4. Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up (whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Corporation, after the payment or provision for payment in full for all debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the remaining net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the shares at the time outstanding of Common Stock.

Section 5. The holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share on all matters as to which a shareholder vote is taken.

IV. NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

No holder of capital stock of the Corporation of any class shall have any preemptive right to subscribe to or purchase (i) any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, (ii) any securities convertible into such shares or (iii) any options, warrants or rights to purchase such shares or securities convertible into any such shares.

V. DIRECTORS

Section 1. The Board of Directors shall consist of such number of individuals as may be fixed or provided for in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

Section 2. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III as nearly equal in number as possible. The classification of directors of this Corporation shall be implemented as follows: directors of the first class (Class I) shall hold office for a term expiring at the 2002 annual meeting of the shareholders; directors of the second class (Class II) shall serve for a term expiring at the 2003 annual meeting of the shareholders; and directors of the third class (Class III) shall hold office for a term expiring at the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders. The successors to the class of directors whose terms expires shall be identified as being of the same class as the directors they succeed and elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of shareholders when directors are elected and qualified. When the number of directors is changed, any newly created directorship shall be apportioned among the classes by the Board of Directors as to make all classes as nearly equal as possible. The Board of Directors shall be divided initially into the following classes:

   H. Wayne Parrish   

Section 3. Directors of the Corporation may be removed with or without cause upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

Section 4. If the office of any director shall become vacant, the directors at the time in office, whether or not a quorum, may, by majority vote of the directors then in office, choose a successor who shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders. Vacancies resulting from the increase in the number of directors shall be filled in the same manner and any successor director filling such vacancy shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

VI. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Any amendment of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, a plan of merger or share exchange, a transaction involving the sale of all or substantially all the Corporation’s assets other than in the regular course of business and a plan of dissolution shall be approved by the vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on such transactions by each voting group entitled to vote on the transaction at a meeting at which a quorum of the voting group is present on person or by proxy, provided that the transaction has been approved and recommended by at least two thirds of the directors in office at the time of such approval and recommendation. If the transaction is not so approved and recommended, then the transaction shall be approved by the vote of more than two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on such transactions by each voting group entitled to vote on the transaction.

VII. LIMIT ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. To the full extent that the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, as it exists on the date hereof or may hereafter be amended, permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors or officers, a director or officer of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages.

 

I-3


Section 2. To the full extent permitted and in the manner prescribed by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, the Corporation shall indemnify each director or officer of the Corporation against liabilities, fines, penalties and claims imposed upon or asserted against him (including amounts paid in settlement) by reason of having been such director or officer, whether or not then continuing so to be, and against all expenses (including counsel fees) reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, except in relation to matters as to which he shall have been finally adjudged liable by reason of his willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law in the performance of his duty as such director or officer. The Board of Directors is hereby empowered, by majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, to contract in advance to indemnify any director or officer.

Section 3. The Board of Directors is hereby empowered, by majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, to cause the Corporation to indemnify or contract in advance to indemnify any person not specified in Section 2 of this Article against liabilities, fines, penalties and claims imposed upon or asserted against him (including amounts paid in settlement) by reason of having been an employee, agent or consultant of the Corporation, whether or not then continuing so to be, and against all expenses (including counsel fees) reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, to the same extent as if such person were specified as one to whom indemnification is granted in Section 2 of this Article.

Section 4. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify it against the whole or any portion of the liability assumed by it in accordance with this Article and may also procure insurance, in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine, on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or consultant of the Corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by any such person in any such capacity or arising from his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

Section 5. In the event there has been a change in the composition of a majority of the Board of Directors after the date of the alleged act or omission with respect to which indemnification is claimed, any determination as to indemnification and advancement of expenses with respect to any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 of this Article VII shall be made by special legal counsel agreed upon by the Board of Directors and the proposed indemnitee. If the Board of Directors and the proposed indemnitee are unable to agree upon such special legal counsel, the Board of Directors and the proposed indemnitee each shall select a nominee, and the nominees shall select such special legal counsel.

Section 6. No amendment, modification or repeal or this Article shall diminish the rights provided hereby or diminish the right to indemnification with respect to any claim, issue or matter in any then pending or subsequent proceeding that is based in any material respect on any alleged action or failure to act occurring before the adoption of such amendment, modification or repeal.

 

I-4


Section 7. Every reference herein to director, officer, employee, agent or consultant shall include (i) every director, officer, employee, agent, or consultant of the Corporation or any corporation the majority of the voting stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation, (ii) every former director, officer, employee, agent, or consultant of the Corporation, (iii) every person who may have served at the request of or on behalf of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity, and (iv) in all of such cases, his executors and administrators.

EX-10.7 3 dex107.htm EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND JAMES T. HUERTH Employment Agreement between Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and James T. Huerth

Exhibit 10.7

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of this 1st day of Jan, 2007, by and between Virginia Financial Group, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and James T. Huerth (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company considers the availability of the Executive’s services to be important to the management and conduct of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and desires to secure the availability of the Executive’s services; and

WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to provide services to the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Part I: General Employment Terms

1. Employment and Duties. The Executive shall be employed by Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia (the “Employer”) as President of such bank (the “Position”) on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the aforesaid Employer is merged with another subsidiary bank of the Company, the Executive shall be employed by such merged bank as at least a regional “president” with the region being of substantially the same size, scope or responsibility as the region served by the predecessor Employer, in which case the merged subsidiary bank shall then be the Employer, the new position shall then be the Position and the change in Employer and Position shall not provide the Executive with Good Reason (as otherwise defined below) for purposes of this Agreement. The Executive accepts such employment and agrees to perform the managerial duties and responsibilities of the Position. The Executive agrees to devote the necessary time and attention on a full-time basis to the discharge of such duties and responsibilities of an executive nature relating to the Position as may be assigned to the Executive by the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee. The Executive may accept any elective or appointed positions or offices with any duly recognized associations or organizations whose activities or purposes are closely related to the banking business or service to which would generate good will for the Company and its subsidiaries with the written approval of the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee.

2. Term. The term of this Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), and will continue through December 31, 2007, unless terminated or extended as hereinafter provided. This Agreement shall be extended for successive one-year periods following the original term unless either party notifies the other in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the original term, or the end of any additional one-year renewal term, that the Agreement shall not be extended beyond its current term. The term of this Agreement, including any renewal term, is referred to as the “Term”.

3. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay or cause the Employer to pay the Executive an annual base salary not less than $192,400. The base salary shall be paid to the Executive in accordance with established payroll practices of the Company. In connection with the annual performance review of the Executive, the Company will review the base salary amount to consider whether any increase should be made to the base salary for such year and, if such base salary is increased, such increase may be retroactive or prospective only as determined by the Company. The base salary during the initial term will not be less than that in effect at the beginning of the original term or, during a renewal term, will not be less than that in effect at the beginning of the renewal term.


(b) Annual Bonus. During the Term, the Executive will be eligible to participate in an annual incentive plan that will establish measurable criteria and incentive compensation levels payable to the Executive for performance in relation to defined threshold benchmarks established by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company, as the case may be, after consultation with management to establish the targeted performance levels on an annual basis consistent with the Company’s business plan and objectives.

(c) Stock Compensation. The Executive shall be eligible to participate to the extent and in the manner provided and to receive stock options, restricted stock, and/or other awards under the Company’s 2001 Incentive Stock Plan or any successor or replacement plan on such basis as the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company, as the case may be, may determine.

4. Benefits.

(a) Benefit Programs. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in any plans, programs or forms of compensation or benefits that the Company or its subsidiaries provide to the class of employees that includes the Executive, on a basis not less favorable than that provided to such class of employees, including, without limitation, group medical, disability and life insurance, vacation and sick leave, and a retirement plan; provided however, a reasonable transition period following any change in control, merger, statutory share exchange, consolidation, acquisition or transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be permitted in order to make appropriate adjustments in compliance with this Section 4(a). The Company will allow the Executive to make salary deferral contributions to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

(b) Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to four weeks vacation annually without loss of pay, to be accrued and used in accordance with normal Company policy.

(c) Country Club. The Company will pay or cause the Employer to pay the Executive’s country club initiation fee and dues on such basis as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee from time to time.

(d) Automobile. The Company shall provide or cause the Employer to provide the Executive with an appropriate automobile or automobile allowance as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee.

5. Reimbursement of Expenses.

(a) The Company shall reimburse or cause the Employer to reimburse the Executive promptly, upon presentation of adequate substantiation, including receipts, for the reasonable travel, entertainment, lodging and other business expenses incurred by the Executive, including, without limitation, those expenses incurred by the Executive and the Executive’s spouse in attending trade and professional association conventions, meetings and other related functions. However, the Company reserves the right to review these expenses periodically and determine, in its sole discretion, whether future reimbursement of such expenses to the Executive will continue without prior approval by the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee of the expenses.

(b) If the Executive terminates his employment with the Company voluntarily and without Good Reason, as defined below, he shall reimburse the Company for related expenses incurred by the Company in the Executive’s recruitment, including but not limited to the signing bonus received, relocation costs, and recruiter fees, as follows:

Termination in the third 12 months: 25% of all related expenses

6. Termination of Employment.

(a) Death or Incapacity. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death. In the event of termination due to the death of the Executive, the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing (provided such writing is executed and dated by the Executive and delivered to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company prior to the Executive’s death) and surviving the Executive or, if none, the Executive’s estate, as applicable, shall receive, in addition to all other benefits accruing upon death, full compensation hereunder for a period of three (3) months following the month in which the Executive’s death occurred. If the Company determines that the Incapacity, as hereinafter defined, of the Executive has occurred, it may terminate the Executive’s employment and this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice provided that, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s assigned duties. “Incapacity” shall mean the failure of the Executive to perform the Executive’s assigned duties with the Company on a full-time basis as a result of mental or physical illness or injury as determined by a physician selected by the Company for ninety (90) consecutive calendar days.

(b) Termination by Company With or Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the term of this Agreement, with or without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:

(i) the Executive’s willful misconduct in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties which the Company believes does or may result in material harm to the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(ii) the Executive’s misappropriation or embezzlement of funds or property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(iii) the Executive’s fraud, disloyalty or dishonesty with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(iv) the Executive’s failure to perform any of the duties and responsibilities required by the Position (other than by reason of Incapacity) or the Executive’s willful failure to follow reasonable instructions or policies of the Employer or the Company after being advised in writing of such failure and being given a reasonable opportunity and period (as determined by the Employer or the Company) to remedy such failure;

(v) the Executive’s conviction of, indictment for (or its procedural equivalent), or entering of a guilty plea or plea of no contest with respect to any felony, misdemeanor, or any other crime involving moral turpitude or any other crime with respect to which imprisonment is a possible punishment; or

(vi) the Executive’s breach of a material term of this Agreement, or violation in any material respect of any code or standard of behavior generally applicable to officers of the Employer or the Company, after being advised in writing of such breach or violation and being given a reasonable opportunity and period (as determined by the Employer or the Company) to remedy such breach or violation;

(vii) the Executive’s breach of fiduciary duties owed to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or

 

3


(viii) the Executive’s willful engaging in conduct that, if it became known by any regulatory or governmental agency or the public, is reasonably likely to result, in the good faith judgment of the Company, in material injury to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, monetarily or otherwise.

(c) Termination by Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate employment for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:

(i) the continued assignment to the Executive of duties inconsistent with the Executive’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 1 hereof or, in the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), Section 10(a);

(ii) any action taken by the Employer or the Company which results in a substantial reduction in the status of the Executive, including a diminution in the Executive’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities;

(iii) the relocation of the Executive to any other primary place of employment which might require the Executive to move the Executive’s residence which, for this purpose, includes any reassignment to a place of employment located more than 50 miles from the Executive’s initially assigned place of employment, without the Executive’s express written consent to such relocation; provided, however, this subsection (iii) shall not apply in connection with the relocation of the Executive if the Company decides to relocate its headquarters; or

(iv) any failure by the Company, or any successor entity following a Change of Control, to comply with the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 or Section 10(b) hereof or to honor any other term or provision of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, “Good Reason” shall not include the removal of the Executive as an officer of any subsidiary of the Company (including the Employer if the employer is not the Company) in order that the Executive might concentrate the Executive’s efforts on the Company, any resignation by the Executive where Cause for the Executive’s termination by the Company exists, or an isolated, insubstantial and/or inadvertent action not taken in bad faith by the Employer or the Company and which is remedied by the Employer or the Company within a reasonable time after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive.

7. Obligations of the Company Upon Termination.

(a) Without Cause; Good Reason. If, during the Term, either the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the following:

(i) payment in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s termination of employment of an amount equal to the sum of the Executive’s annual base salary through the date of termination to the extent not theretofore paid and the balance of the Executive’s annual base salary for a period of 12 months from the date of termination of employment;

(ii) continuation for 12 months after the date of termination of employment of any health care (medical, dental and vision) plan coverage other than that under a flexible spending account provided to the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents at the date of termination with the Company paying the normal Company paid contribution therefor for similarly situated active employees and with such coverage being available on the same basis as available to similarly active employees during such continuation period, provided that the Executive’s continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. If the Company reasonably determines that maintaining such coverage for the Executive

 

4


or the Executive’s spouse or dependents is not feasible, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum equal to the estimated cost of the expected Company contribution therefor for 18 months or, if a lump sum payment is not permitted under any applicable payment restriction of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall pay the Executive in periodic payments when the cost of the Company contribution for such coverage would otherwise be paid the cost therefor for 18 months; and

(iii) stock option and similar agreements with the Executive evidencing the grant of a stock option or other award under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan, or any successor plan, will provide that the vesting of such stock awards will accelerate and become immediately exercisable and fully vested as of the date of termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason. In the case of stock options, the Executive will have at least ninety (90) days after termination of employment, or such longer period as may be provided for in the separate stock option agreement, but in no event longer than the end of the regular term thereof (determined without regard to the Executive’s cessation of employment) to exercise the stock options.

(b) Non-Competition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such payments and benefits under Section 7(a) otherwise continuing for periods after the Executive’s termination of employment shall cease to be paid, and the Company and the Employer shall have no further obligation due with respect thereto, in the event the Executive engages in “Competition” or makes any “Unauthorized Disclosure of Confidential Information.” In addition, in exchange for the payments on termination as provided herein, other provisions of this Agreement and other valuable consideration hereby acknowledged, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not engage in competition for a period of 12 months after the Executive’s employment with the Employer ceases for any reason other than the expiration or nonrenewal of this Agreement at the end of the original or any renewal term. For purposes hereof:

(i) “Competition” means the Executive’s engaging without the written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company or a person authorized thereby, in an activity as an officer, a director, an employee, a partner, a more than one percent shareholder or other owner, an agent, a consultant, or in any other individual or representative capacity within 50 miles of the headquarters or any branch office of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (unless the Executive’s duties, responsibilities and activities, including supervisory activities, for or on behalf of such activity, are not related in any way to such competitive activity) if it involves:

(A) engaging in or entering into the business of any banking, lending or any other business activity in which the Company or any subsidiary thereof is actively engaged at the time the Executive’s employment ceases, or

(B) soliciting or contacting, either directly or indirectly, any of the customers or clients of the Company or any subsidiary thereof for the purpose of competing with the products or services provided by the Company or any subsidiary thereof, or

(C) employing or soliciting for employment any employees of the Company or any subsidiary thereof for the purpose of competing with the Company or any subsidiary thereof.

(ii) “Unauthorized Disclosure of Confidential Information” means the use or disclosure of information in violation of Section 8 of this Agreement.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “customers” or “clients” of the Company or any subsidiary thereof means individuals or entities to whom the Company or any subsidiary thereof has provided banking, lending, or other similar financial services at any time from the Effective Date through the date the Executive’s employment with the Company ceases.

 

5


(c) Death or Incapacity. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or incapacity in accordance with Section 6(a) hereof, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligation to the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing (provided such writing is executed and dated by the Executive and delivered to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company prior to the Executive’s death) and surviving the Executive or, if none, the Executive’s estate, as applicable, except as otherwise specified in Section 6(a).

(d) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause or for other than Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without any further obligation of the Company to the Executive other than to pay to the Executive any unpaid annual base salary through the date of termination. The Executive will still be required to comply with the non-solicitation, non-contact, non-hire and confidentiality covenants set forth in Section 7(b).

(e) Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in paragraph 7(b) of this Agreement are just, reasonable, and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. The Executive further acknowledges that if the Executive breaches or threatens to breach any provision of paragraph 7(b), the Company’s remedies at law will be inadequate, and the Company will be irreparably harmed. Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, both preliminary and permanent, restraining the Executive from such breach or threatened breach, such injunctive relief not to preclude the Company from pursuing all available legal and equitable remedies. In addition to all other available remedies, if the Executive violates the provisions of paragraph 7(b), the Executive shall pay all costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in enforcing the provisions of that paragraph. If, on the other hand, it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that a breach or threatened breach did not occur under paragraph 7(b) of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable legal fees incurred to defend that claim.

8. Confidentiality. As an employee of the Company the Executive will have access to and may participate in the origination of non-public, proprietary and confidential information relating to the Company and/or its subsidiaries and the Executive acknowledges a fiduciary duty owed to the Company and its subsidiaries not to disclose impermissibly any such information. Confidential information may include, but is not limited to, trade secrets, customer lists and information, internal corporate planning, methods of marketing and operation, and other data or information of or concerning the Company or its customers that is not generally known to the public or in the banking industry. The Executive agrees never to use or disclose to any third party any such confidential information, either directly or indirectly, except as may be authorized in writing specifically by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit the Executive from performing any duty or obligation that shall arise as a matter of law. Specifically, the Executive shall continue to be under a duty to truthfully respond to any legal and valid subpoena or other legal process. This Agreement is not intended in any way to proscribe the Executive’s right and ability to provide information to any federal, state or local agency in response or adherence to the lawful exercise of such agency’s authority. In the event the Executive is requested to disclose confidential information by subpoena or other legal process or lawful exercise of authority, the Executive shall promptly provide the Company with notice of the same and either receive approval from the Company to make the disclosure or cooperate with the Company in the Company’s effort, at its sole expense, to avoid disclosure.

Part II: Change of Control

9. Employment After a Change of Control. If a Change of Control of the Company occurs during the Term, and the Executive is employed by the Company on the date the Change of Control occurs (the “Change of Control Date”), the Company will continue to

 

6


employ the Executive in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the period beginning on the Change of Control Date and ending on the 2nd anniversary of such date (the “Change of Control Employment Period”). If a Change of Control occurs on account of a series of transactions, the Change of Control Date is the date of the last of such transactions. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, Sections 9 through 15 in this Part II shall become effective and govern the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment during the Change of Control Employment Period. For purposes hereof, the term “affiliated companies” includes any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company.

10. Terms of Employment.

(a) Position and Duties. During the Change of Control Employment Period, (i) the Executive’s position, authority, duties and responsibilities will be at least commensurate in all material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the ninety (90) day period immediately preceding the Change of Control Date, and (ii) the Executive’s services will be performed at the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Change of Control Date or any office that is the headquarters of the Company or the Employer and is less than 35 miles from such location; it being understood and agreed that this subsection (ii) shall supercede the provisions of Section 6(c)(iii) dealing with the relocation of the Executive following a Change of Control.

(b) Compensation and Benefits. During the Change of Control Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to the following based on the applicable compensation, plan or program paid or payable, or provided, to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Change of Control Date (the “Pre-Change in Control Period”):

(i) an annual base salary at least equal to the base salary paid or payable to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies for Pre-Change in Control Period, that is reviewed at least annually, that is increased at any time and from time to time as will be substantially consistent with increases in base salary generally awarded in the ordinary course of business to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, that subsequently will not be reduced after any such increase (the term “Annual Base Salary” as used in this Agreement refers to the Annual Base Salary as so increased);

(ii) an annual incentive opportunity generally applicable to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event providing the Executive with a less favorable opportunity to earn a target annual bonus than that the annual incentive plan has in effect at any time during Pre-Change in Control Period;

(c) Possible Reduction in Payment and Benefits. Following any Change of Control, to the extent that any amount of pay or benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement would cause the Executive to be subject to excise tax under sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and after taking into consideration all other amounts payable to the Executive under other Company plans, programs, policies, and arrangements, then the amount of pay and benefits provided under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of any such excise taxes. The Executive may select the payments and benefits to be limited or reduced, including an election not to have the vesting of certain benefits, including stock options, accelerate as a result of a Change of Control.

(d) Acceleration of Vesting of Stock Awards. Except as may be otherwise agreed to by the Executive, all stock option and similar agreements with the Executive evidencing the grant of a stock option or other award under the Company’s 2001 Stock Incentive Plan or any successor or replacement plan will provide that (i) the vesting of such stock awards will accelerate and become immediately exercisable and fully vested as of the Change of Control Date, and (ii) in the case of stock options, the Executive will have at least ninety (90) days after termination of employment, or such longer period as may be provided for in the separate stock option agreement, but in no event longer that the end of the regular term thereof (determined without regard to the Executive’s cessation of employment) to exercise the stock options.

(e) Notice of Termination. Any termination during the Change of Control Employment Period by the Company or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

(f) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Incapacity, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given), and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for Incapacity, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given, provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of duties during such thirty (30) day period.

(a) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. The Executive will be entitled to the following benefits if, during the Change of Control Employment Period, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive terminates employment with the Company or any affiliated company for Good Reason:

(i) Accrued Obligations.

The Accrued Obligations will be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash or stock, as applicable, payment within ten (10) days after the Date of Termination;

(ii) Salary Continuance Benefit. The Salary Continuance Benefit is an amount equal to 2 times the Executive’s Final Compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Compensation” means the Annual Base Salary in effect at the Date of Termination, plus the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two most recently completed years (both of which shall include any amount contributed therefrom by the Executive to a salary reduction agreement or any other program that provides for pre-tax salary reductions or compensation deferrals).

(iii) Health Care Continuance Benefit. For 24 months after the Date of Termination, coverage under any health care (medical, dental and vision) plan or plans (“Health Care Plans”) other than a flexible spending account provided to the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents at the date of termination shall continue with the Company paying the normal Company paid contribution therefor for similarly situated active employees and with such coverage being available on the same basis as available to similarly active employees during such continuation period (the “Health Care Continuance Benefit”), provided that the Executive’s continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans. The following rules shall also apply:

(A) If the Company reasonably determines that maintaining all or any part of such coverage for the Executive or the Executive’s spouse or dependents is not feasible, the Company shall, at its option, either provide substantially identical benefits directly or through an insurance arrangement or pay the Executive the estimated cost of the expected Company contribution therefor.

(B) The Health Care Continuance Benefit as to any Health Care Plan will cease if and when the Executive has obtained health care coverage under one or more welfare benefit plans of a subsequent employer that provides for equal or greater benefits to the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents with respect to the specific type of benefit.

(C) The Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents will become eligible for COBRA continuation coverage as of the date the Health Care Continuance Benefit ceases for all health and dental benefits.

If the Executive dies during the Change of Control Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without any further obligation on the part of the Company under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of the Accrued Obligations and three months of the Executive’s Base Salary (which shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing (provided such writing is executed and dated by the Executive and delivered to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company prior to the Executive’s death) and surviving the Executive or, if none, the Executive’s estate, as applicable, in a lump sum cash payment within thirty (30) days of the date of death); (ii) the timely payment or provision of the Health Care Continuance Benefit to the Executive’s spouse and dependents for 24 months following the date of death; and (iii) the timely payment of all death and retirement benefits pursuant to the terms of any plan, policy or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated companies.

(d) Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Change of Control Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without further obligation to the Executive other than the payment to the Executive of the Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive. If the Executive terminates employment during the Change of Control Employment Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason, this Agreement will terminate without further obligation to the Executive other than for the Accrued Obligations (which will be paid in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination) and any other benefits to which the Executive may be entitled pursuant to the terms of any plan, program or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated companies.

13. Fees and Expenses; Mitigation; Noncompetition.

(a) The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Executive (i) in contesting or disputing any termination of the Executive’s employment or (ii) in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement, in each case provided the Executive’s claim is substantially upheld by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment the Company becomes obligated to make to the Executive in connection with this Agreement, by seeking other employment or otherwise. Except as specifically provided above with respect to the Health Care Continuance Benefit, the amount of any payment provided for in Section 12 shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.

(c) The Executive will not be required to comply with the noncompetition covenant in Section 7(b) if the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Change of Control Employment Period without Cause or he terminates for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Change of Control Employment Period for Cause, or the Executive terminates his employment other than for Good Reason, the Executive will only be required to comply with the non-solicitation, non-contact, non-hire and confidentiality covenants in Section 7(b). Otherwise, the noncompetition covenant in Section 7(b) shall apply.

14. Continuance of Health Care Continuation Benefits Upon Death. If the Executive dies while receiving a Health Care Continuation Benefit, the Executive’s spouse and dependents will continue to be covered under all applicable Health Care Plans during the remainder of the 24 month coverage period. The Executive’s spouse and dependents will become eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for health and dental benefits at the end of such 24 month period.

16. Documents. All documents, record, tapes and other media of any kind or description relating to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by the Executive, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The Documents (and any copies) shall be returned to the Company upon the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason or at such earlier time or times as the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee may specify.

17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or part thereof, is determined to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, it shall be severable from the remainder of this Agreement and shall not invalidate or affect the other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable according to their terms. No covenant shall be dependent upon any other covenant or provision herein, each of which stands independently.

18. Modification. The parties expressly agree that should a court find any provision of this Agreement, or part thereof, to be unenforceable or unreasonable, the court may modify the provision, or part thereof, in a manner which renders that provision reasonable, enforceable, and in conformity with the public policy of Virginia.

19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

20. Notices. All written notices required by this Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at their addresses set forth on the signature page of this Agreement. Each party may, from time to time, designate a different address to which notices should be sent.

21. Amendment. This Agreement may not be varied, altered, modified or in any way amended except by an instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto or their legal representatives.

22. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Executive and on the Company, its successors and assigns effective on the date first above written subject to the approval by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company will require any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. If the Executive dies before receiving all payments due under this Agreement, unless expressly otherwise provided hereunder or in a separate plan, program, arrangement or agreement, any remaining payments due after the Executive’s death shall be made to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing (provided such writing is executed and dated by the Executive and delivered to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company prior to the Executive’s death) and surviving the Executive or, if none, to the Executive’s estate.

The Executive and the Company agree that neither party was in a superior bargaining position regarding the substantive terms of this Agreement.

24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein and it supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. It is specifically agreed and acknowledged that, except as provided herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to severance payments or benefits under any severance or similar plan, program, arrangement or agreement of or with the Employer or the Company for any cessation of employment occurring while this Agreement is in effect.

25. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Omnibus Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company’s Compensation Committee or Board of Directors is authorized to amend this Agreement, to amend or void any election made by the Executive under this Agreement and/or to delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in such manner as may be determined by it to be necessary or appropriate to comply, or to evidence or further evidence required compliance, with Section 409A of the Code (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder). For example, if a Change of Control occurs but the Change of Control does not constitute a change in ownership of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code with respect to which payment is permitted under Section 409A of the Code, then payment of any amount or provision of any benefit under this Agreement which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be deferred until another permissible payment event contained in Section 409A occurs (e.g., death, disability, separation from service from the Company and its affiliated companies as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), including any deferral of payment or provision of benefits in connection with a separation from service payment event to six months after a key employee of a publicly traded corporation as required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “409A Deferral Period”). In the event such payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during the 409A Deferral Period, the payments which would otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the payments shall be made as otherwise scheduled. In the event benefits are required to be deferred, any such benefit may be provided during the 409A Deferral Period at the Executive’s expense, with the Executive having a right to reimbursement from the Company once the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first written herein.

WHEREAS, the Company considers the availability of the Executive’s services to be important to the management and conduct of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and desires to secure the availability of the Executive’s services; and

Part I: General Employment Terms

1. Employment and Duties. The Executive shall be employed by Virginia Financial Group, Inc. (the “Employer”) as its Chief Credit Officer (the “Position”) on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. The Executive accepts such employment and agrees to perform the managerial duties and responsibilities of the Position. The Executive agrees to devote the necessary time and attention on a full-time basis to the discharge of such duties and responsibilities of an executive nature relating to the Position as may be assigned to the Executive by the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee. The Executive may accept any elective or appointed positions or offices with any duly recognized associations or organizations whose activities or purposes are closely related to the banking business or service to which would generate good will for the Company and its subsidiaries with the written approval of the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee.

2. Term. The term of this Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), and will continue through December 31, 2007, unless terminated or extended as hereinafter provided. This Agreement shall be extended for successive one-year periods following the original term unless either party notifies the other in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the original term, or the end of any additional one-year renewal term, that the Agreement shall not be extended beyond its current term. The term of this Agreement, including any renewal term, is referred to as the “Term”.

3. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay or cause the Employer to pay the Executive an annual base salary not less than $144,560. The base salary shall be paid to the Executive in accordance with established payroll practices of the Company. In connection with the annual performance review of the Executive, the Company will review the base salary amount to consider whether any increase should be made to the base salary for such year and, if such base salary is increased, such increase may be retroactive or prospective only as determined by the Company. The base salary during the initial term will not be less than that in effect at the beginning of the original term or, during a renewal term, will not be less than that in effect at the beginning of the renewal term.

(b) Annual Bonus. During the Term, the Executive will be eligible to participate in an annual incentive plan that will establish measurable criteria and incentive compensation levels payable to the Executive for performance in relation to defined threshold benchmarks established by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company, as the case may be, after consultation with management to establish the targeted performance levels on an annual basis consistent with the Company’s business plan and objectives.


(c) Stock Compensation. The Executive shall be eligible to participate to the extent and in the manner provided and to receive stock options, restricted stock, and/or other awards under the Company’s 2001 Incentive Stock Plan or any successor or replacement plan on such basis as the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company, as the case may be, may determine.

4. Benefits.

(a) Benefit Programs. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in any plans, programs or forms of compensation or benefits that the Company or its subsidiaries provide to the class of employees that includes the Executive, on a basis not less favorable than that provided to such class of employees, including, without limitation, group medical, disability and life insurance, vacation and sick leave, and a retirement plan; provided however, a reasonable transition period following any change in control, merger, statutory share exchange, consolidation, acquisition or transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be permitted in order to make appropriate adjustments in compliance with this Section 4(a). The Company will allow the Executive to make salary deferral contributions to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

(b) Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to 4 weeks vacation annually without loss of pay, to be accrued and used in accordance with the normal Company policy.

5. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse or cause the Employer to reimburse the Executive promptly, upon presentation of adequate substantiation, including receipts, for the reasonable travel, entertainment, lodging and other business expenses incurred by the Executive, including, without limitation, those expenses incurred by the Executive and the Executive’s spouse in attending trade and professional association conventions, meetings and other related functions. However, the Company reserves the right to review these expenses periodically and determine, in its sole discretion, whether future reimbursement of such expenses to the Executive will continue without prior approval by the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee of the expenses.

6. Termination of Employment.

(a) Death or Incapacity. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death. In the event of termination due to the death of the Executive, the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing (provided such writing is executed and dated by the Executive and delivered to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company prior to the Executive’s death) and surviving the Executive or, if none, the Executive’s estate, as applicable, shall receive, in addition to all other benefits accruing upon death, full compensation hereunder for a period of three (3) months following the month in which the Executive’s death occurred. If the Company determines that the Incapacity, as hereinafter defined, of the Executive has occurred, it may terminate the Executive’s employment and this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice provided that, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s assigned duties. “Incapacity” shall mean the failure of the Executive to perform the Executive’s assigned duties with the Company on a full-time basis as a result of mental or physical illness or injury as determined by a physician selected by the Company for ninety (90) consecutive calendar days.

(b) Termination by Company With or Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the term of this Agreement, with or without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:

 

2


(i) the Executive’s willful misconduct in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties which the Company believes does or may result in material harm to the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(ii) the Executive’s misappropriation or embezzlement of funds or property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(iii) the Executive’s fraud, disloyalty or dishonesty with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(iv) the Executive’s failure to perform any of the duties and responsibilities required by the Position (other than by reason of Incapacity) or the Executive’s willful failure to follow reasonable instructions or policies of the Employer or the Company after being advised in writing of such failure and being given a reasonable opportunity and period (as determined by the Employer or the Company) to remedy such failure;

(v) the Executive’s conviction of, indictment for (or its procedural equivalent), or entering of a guilty plea or plea of no contest with respect to any felony, misdemeanor, or any other crime involving moral turpitude or any other crime with respect to which imprisonment is a possible punishment; or

(vi) the Executive’s breach of a material term of this Agreement, or violation in any material respect of any code or standard of behavior generally applicable to officers of the Employer or the Company, after being advised in writing of such breach or violation and being given a reasonable opportunity and period (as determined by the Employer or the Company) to remedy such breach or violation;

(vii) the Executive’s breach of fiduciary duties owed to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or

(viii) the Executive’s willful engaging in conduct that, if it became known by any regulatory or governmental agency or the public, is reasonably likely to result, in the good faith judgment of the Company, in material injury to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, monetarily or otherwise.

(c) Termination by Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate employment for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:

(i) the continued assignment to the Executive of duties inconsistent with the Executive’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 1 hereof or, in the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), Section 10(a);

(ii) any action taken by the Employer or the Company which results in a substantial reduction in the status of the Executive, including a diminution in the Executive’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities;

(iii) the relocation of the Executive to any other primary place of employment which might require the Executive to move the Executive’s residence which, for this purpose, includes any reassignment to a place of employment located more than 50 miles from the Executive’s initially assigned place of employment, without the Executive’s express written consent to such relocation; provided, however, this subsection (iii) shall not apply in connection with the relocation of the Executive if the Company decides to relocate its headquarters; or

 

3


(iv) any failure by the Company, or any successor entity following a Change of Control, to comply with the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 or Section 10(b) hereof or to honor any other term or provision of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, “Good Reason” shall not include the removal of the Executive as an officer of any subsidiary of the Company (including the Employer if the employer is not the Company) in order that the Executive might concentrate the Executive’s efforts on the Company, any resignation by the Executive where Cause for the Executive’s termination by the Company exists, or an isolated, insubstantial and/or inadvertent action not taken in bad faith by the Employer or the Company and which is remedied by the Employer or the Company within a reasonable time after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive.

7. Obligations of the Company Upon Termination.

(a) Without Cause; Good Reason. If, during the Term, either the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the following:

(i) payment in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s termination of employment of an amount equal to the sum of the Executive’s annual base salary through the date of termination to the extent not theretofore paid and the balance of the Executive’s annual base salary for a period of 18 months from the date of termination of employment;

(ii) continuation for 18 months after the date of termination of employment of any health care (medical, dental and vision) plan coverage other than that under a flexible spending account provided to the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents at the date of termination with the Company paying the normal Company paid contribution therefor for similarly situated active employees and with such coverage being available on the same basis as available to similarly active employees during such continuation period, provided that the Executive’s continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. If the Company reasonably determines that maintaining such coverage for the Executive or the Executive’s spouse or dependents is not feasible, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum equal to the estimated cost of the expected Company contribution therefor for 18 months or, if a lump sum payment is not permitted under any applicable payment restriction of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall pay the Executive in periodic payments when the cost of the Company contribution for such coverage would otherwise be paid the cost therefor for 18 months; and

(iii) stock option and similar agreements with the Executive evidencing the grant of a stock option or other award under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan, or any successor plan, will provide that the vesting of such stock awards will accelerate and become immediately exercisable and fully vested as of the date of termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason. In the case of stock options, the Executive will have at least ninety (90) days after termination of employment, or such longer period as may be provided for in the separate stock option agreement, but in no event longer than the end of the regular term thereof (determined without regard to the Executive’s cessation of employment) to exercise the stock options.

(b) Non-Competition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such payments and benefits under Section 7(a) otherwise continuing for periods after the Executive’s termination of employment shall cease to be paid, and the Company and the Employer shall have no further obligation due with respect thereto, in the event the Executive engages in “Competition” or makes any “Unauthorized Disclosure of Confidential Information.” In addition, in exchange for the payments on termination as provided herein, other provisions of this Agreement and other valuable consideration hereby acknowledged, the Executive agrees that the Executive

will not engage in competition for a period of 18 months after the Executive’s employment with the Employer ceases for any reason other than the expiration or nonrenewal of this Agreement at the end of the original or any renewal term. For purposes hereof:

(i) “Competition” means the Executive’s engaging without the written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company or a person authorized thereby, in an activity as an officer, a director, an employee, a partner, a more than one percent shareholder or other owner, an agent, a consultant, or in any other individual or representative capacity within 50 miles of the headquarters or any branch office of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (unless the Executive’s duties, responsibilities and activities, including supervisory activities, for or on behalf of such activity, are not related in any way to such competitive activity) if it involves:

(A) engaging in or entering into the business of any banking, lending or any other business activity in which the Company or any subsidiary thereof is actively engaged at the time the Executive’s employment ceases, or

(B) soliciting or contacting, either directly or indirectly, any of the customers or clients of the Company or any subsidiary thereof for the purpose of competing with the products or services provided by the Company or any subsidiary thereof, or

(C) employing or soliciting for employment any employees of the Company or any subsidiary thereof for the purpose of competing with the Company or any subsidiary thereof.

(ii) “Unauthorized Disclosure of Confidential Information” means the use or disclosure of information in violation of Section 8 of this Agreement.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “customers” or “clients” of the Company or any subsidiary thereof means individuals or entities to whom the Company or any subsidiary thereof has provided banking, lending, or other similar financial services at any time from the Effective Date through the date the Executive’s employment with the Company ceases.

(c) Death or Incapacity. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or incapacity in accordance with Section 6(a) hereof, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligation to the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing (provided such writing is executed and dated by the Executive and delivered to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company prior to the Executive’s death) and surviving the Executive or, if none, the Executive’s estate, as applicable, except as otherwise specified in Section 6(a).

(d) Cause: Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause or for other than Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without any further obligation of the Company to the Executive other than to pay to the Executive any unpaid annual base salary through the date of termination. The Executive will still be required to comply with the non-solicitation, non-contact, non-hire and confidentiality covenants set forth in Section 7(b).

(e) Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in paragraph 7(b) of this Agreement are just, reasonable, and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. The Executive further acknowledges that if the Executive breaches or threatens to breach any provision of paragraph 7(b), the Company’s remedies at law will be inadequate, and the Company will be irreparably harmed. Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, both preliminary and permanent, restraining the Executive from such breach or threatened breach, such injunctive relief not to preclude the Company from pursuing all available legal and equitable remedies. In addition to all other available remedies, if the Executive violates the provisions of paragraph 7(b), the Executive shall pay all costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in enforcing the provisions of that

 

5


paragraph. If, on the other hand, it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that a breach or threatened breach did not occur under paragraph 7(b) of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable legal fees incurred to defend that claim.

8. Confidentiality. As an employee of the Company the Executive will have access to and may participate in the origination of non-public, proprietary and confidential information relating to the Company and/or its subsidiaries and the Executive acknowledges a fiduciary duty owed to the Company and its subsidiaries not to disclose impermissibly any such information. Confidential information may include, but is not limited to, trade secrets, customer lists and information, internal corporate planning, methods of marketing and operation, and other data or information of or concerning the Company or its customers that is not generally known to the public or in the banking industry. The Executive agrees never to use or disclose to any third party any such confidential information, either directly or indirectly, except as may be authorized in writing specifically by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit the Executive from performing any duty or obligation that shall arise as a matter of law. Specifically, the Executive shall continue to be under a duty to truthfully respond to any legal and valid subpoena or other legal process. This Agreement is not intended in any way to proscribe the Executive’s right and ability to provide information to any federal, state or local agency in response or adherence to the lawful exercise of such agency’s authority. In the event the Executive is requested to disclose confidential information by subpoena or other legal process or lawful exercise of authority, the Executive shall promptly provide the Company with notice of the same and either receive approval from the Company to make the disclosure or cooperate with the Company in the Company’s effort, at its sole expense, to avoid disclosure.

Part II: Change of Control

9. Employment After a Change of Control. If a Change of Control of the Company occurs during the Term, and the Executive is employed by the Company on the date the Change of Control occurs (the “Change of Control Date”), the Company will continue to employ the Executive in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the period beginning on the Change of Control Date and ending on the 3rd anniversary of such date (the “Change of Control Employment Period”). If a Change of Control occurs on account of a series of transactions, the Change of Control Date is the date of the last of such transactions. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, Sections 9 through 15 in this Part II shall become effective and govern the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment during the Change of Control Employment Period. For purposes hereof, the term “affiliated companies” includes any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company.

10. Terms of Employment.

(a) Position and Duties. During the Change of Control Employment Period, (i) the Executive’s position, authority, duties and responsibilities will be at least commensurate in all material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the ninety (90) day period immediately preceding the Change of Control Date, and (ii) the Executive’s services will be performed at the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Change of Control Date or any office that is the headquarters of the Company or the Employer and is less than 35 miles from such location; it being understood and agreed that this subsection (ii) shall supercede the provisions of Section 6(c)(iii) dealing with the relocation of the Executive following a Change of Control.

(b) Compensation and Benefits. During the Change of Control Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to the following based on the applicable compensation, plan or program paid or payable, or provided, to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Change of Control Date (the “Pre-Change in Control Period”):

 

6


(i) an annual base salary at least equal to the base salary paid or payable to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies for Pre-Change in Control Period, that is reviewed at least annually, that is increased at any time and from time to time as will be substantially consistent with increases in base salary generally awarded in the ordinary course of business to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, that subsequently will not be reduced after any such increase (the term “Annual Base Salary” as used in this Agreement refers to the Annual Base Salary as so increased);

(ii) an annual incentive opportunity generally applicable to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event providing the Executive with a less favorable opportunity to earn a target annual bonus than that the annual incentive plan has in effect at any time during Pre-Change in Control Period;

(iii) other incentive (including stock incentive) opportunities or awards generally applicable to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event providing the Executive with a less favorable such incentive opportunity or award; and

(iv) participation in savings and retirement, insurance plans, policies and programs, coverage under welfare benefit plans, policies and programs, fringe benefits and vacation that either (A) is applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies or (B) provides substantially the same savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, coverage under welfare benefit plans, policies and programs, fringe benefits and vacation in the aggregate as those provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such plans, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the Pre-Change in Control Period.

(c) Possible Reduction in Payment and Benefits. Following any Change of Control, to the extent that any amount of pay or benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement would cause the Executive to be subject to excise tax under sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and after taking into consideration all other amounts payable to the Executive under other Company plans, programs, policies, and arrangements, then the amount of pay and benefits provided under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of any such excise taxes. The Executive may select the payments and benefits to be limited or reduced, including an election not to have the vesting of certain benefits, including stock options, accelerate as a result of a Change of Control.

(d) Acceleration of Vesting of Stock Awards. Except as may be otherwise agreed to by the Executive, all stock option and similar agreements with the Executive evidencing the grant of a stock option or other award under the Company’s 2001 Stock Incentive Plan or any successor or replacement plan will provide that (i) the vesting of such stock awards will accelerate and become immediately exercisable and fully vested as of the Change of Control Date, and (ii) in the case of stock options, the Executive will have at least ninety (90) days after termination of employment, or such longer period as may be provided for in the separate stock option agreement, but in no event longer that the end of the regular term thereof (determined without regard to the Executive’s cessation of employment) to exercise the stock options.

11. Termination of Employment Following Change of Control.

(a) Death or Incapacity. The Executive’s employment will terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death or Incapacity (as defined in Section 6(a)) during the Change of Control Employment Period.

 

7


(b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Change of Control Employment Period for Cause (as defined in Section 6(b)).

(c) Good Reason. The Executive’s employment may be terminated during the Change of Control Employment Period by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(c).

(d) Other Termination. The Board of Directors of the Company may request in writing that the Executive relinquish the Executive’s position and terminate the Executive’s employment in order to facilitate or ensure that an acquisition occur that does not meet the definition in Section 15 of a “Change of Control.” In this event, the Executive’s employment will be deemed terminated without Cause, and the Executive will be entitled to the benefits under Section 12.

(e) Notice of Termination. Any termination during the Change of Control Employment Period by the Company or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

(f) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Incapacity, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given), and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for Incapacity, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given, provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of duties during such thirty (30) day period.

12. Compensation Upon Termination.

(a) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. The Executive will be entitled to the following benefits if, during the Change of Control Employment Period, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive terminates employment with the Company or any affiliated company for Good Reason:

(i) Accrued Obligations. The Accrued Obligations are the sum of: (A) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given; (B) the amount, if any, of any incentive or bonus compensation theretofore earned which has not yet been paid; (C) the product of the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including by reason of deferral, for the most recently completed year and a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current year through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365; and (D) any benefits or awards (including both the cash and stock components) which pursuant to the terms of any plans, policies or programs have been earned or become payable, but which have not yet been paid to the Executive (but not including amounts that previously had been deferred at the Executive’s request, which amounts will be paid in accordance with the Executive’s existing directions). The Accrued Obligations will be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash or stock, as applicable, payment within ten (10) days after the Date of Termination;

(ii) Salary Continuance Benefit. The Salary Continuance Benefit is an amount equal to 2 times the Executive’s Final Compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Compensation” means the Annual Base Salary in effect at the Date of Termination, plus the average Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two most recently completed years (both of which shall include any amount contributed therefrom by the Executive to a salary reduction agreement or any other program that provides for pre-tax salary reductions or compensation deferrals). The Salary Continuance Benefit will be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment not later than the 45th day following the Date of Termination;

 

8


(iii) Health Care Continuance Benefit. For 24 months after the Date of Termination, coverage under any health care (medical, dental and vision) plan or plans (“Health Care Plans”) other than a flexible spending account provided to the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents at the date of termination shall continue with the Company paying the normal Company paid contribution therefor for similarly situated active employees and with such coverage being available on the same basis as available to similarly active employees during such continuation period (the “Health Care Continuance Benefit”), provided that the Executive’s continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans. The following rules shall also apply:

(A) If the Company reasonably determines that maintaining all or any part of such coverage for the Executive or the Executive’s spouse or dependents is not feasible, the Company shall, at its option, either provide substantially identical benefits directly or through an insurance arrangement or pay the Executive the estimated cost of the expected Company contribution therefor.

(B) The Health Care Continuance Benefit as to any Health Care Plan will cease if and when the Executive has obtained health care coverage under one or more welfare benefit plans of a subsequent employer that provides for equal or greater benefits to the Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents with respect to the specific type of benefit.

(C) The Executive and the Executive’s spouse and dependents will become eligible for COBRA continuation coverage as of the date the Health Care Continuance Benefit ceases for all health and dental benefits.

(b) Death. If the Executive dies during the Change of Control Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without any further obligation on the part of the Company under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of the Accrued Obligations and three months of the Executive’s Base Salary (which shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing (provided such writing is executed and dated by the Executive and delivered to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company prior to the Executive’s death) and surviving the Executive or, if none, the Executive’s estate, as applicable, in a lump sum cash payment within thirty (30) days of the date of death); (ii) the timely payment or provision of the Health Care Continuance Benefit to the Executive’s spouse and dependents for 24 months following the date of death; and (iii) the timely payment of all death and retirement benefits pursuant to the terms of any plan, policy or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated companies.

(c) Incapacity. If the Executive’s employment is terminated because of the Executive’s Incapacity during the Change of Control Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without any further obligation on the part of the Company under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of the Accrued Obligations and three (3) months of the Executive’s Base Salary (which shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination); (ii) the timely payment or provision of the Health Care Continuance Benefit for 24 months following the Date of Termination; and (iii) the timely payment of all disability and retirement benefits pursuant to the terms of any plan, policy or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated companies.

(d) Cause: Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Change of Control Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without further obligation to the Executive other than the payment to the Executive of the Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive. If the Executive terminates employment during the Change of Control Employment Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason, this Agreement will terminate without further obligation to the Executive other than for the Accrued Obligations

 

9


(which will be paid in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination) and any other benefits to which the Executive may be entitled pursuant to the terms of any plan, program or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated companies.

13. Fees and Expenses: Mitigation: Noncompetition.

(a) The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Executive (i) in contesting or disputing any termination of the Executive’s employment or (ii) in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement, in each case provided the Executive’s claim is substantially upheld by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment the Company becomes obligated to make to the Executive in connection with this Agreement, by seeking other employment or otherwise. Except as specifically provided above with respect to the Health Care Continuance Benefit, the amount of any payment provided for in Section 12 shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.

(c) The Executive will not be required to comply with the noncompetition covenant in Section 7(b) if the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Change of Control Employment Period without Cause or he terminates for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Change of Control Employment Period for Cause, or the Executive terminates his employment other than for Good Reason, the Executive will only be required to comply with the non-solicitation, non-contact, non-hire and confidentiality covenants in Section 7(b). Otherwise, the noncompetition covenant in Section 7(b) shall apply.

14. Continuance of Health Care Continuation Benefits Upon Death. If the Executive dies while receiving a Health Care Continuation Benefit, the Executive’s spouse and dependents will continue to be covered under all applicable Health Care Plans during the remainder of the 24 month coverage period. The Executive’s spouse and dependents will become eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for health and dental benefits at the end of such 24 month period.

15. Change of Control Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean:

(a) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act’) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities; provided, however, that the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control:

(i) acquisition directly from the Company (excluding an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege);

(ii) any acquisition by the Company;

(iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company; or

(iv) any acquisition pursuant to a reorganization, merger or consolidation by any corporation owned or proposed to be owned, directly or indirectly, by shareholders of the Company if the shareholders’ ownership of securities of the corporation resulting from such transaction constitutes a majority of the ownership of securities of the resulting entity and at least a majority

 

10


of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such transaction were members of the Incumbent Board as defined in this Agreement at the time of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such reorganization, merger or consolidation; or

(b) where individuals who, as of the inception of this Agreement, constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of such Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the shareholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-l1 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than a member of the Board of Directors; or

(c) the Company consummates:

(i) a merger, statutory share exchange, or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, except as provided in subparagraph (a)(iv) of this section, or

(ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Part III: Miscellaneous

16. Documents. All documents, record, tapes and other media of any kind or description relating to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by the Executive, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The Documents (and any copies) shall be returned to the Company upon the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason or at such earlier time or times as the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee may specify.

17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or part thereof, is determined to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, it shall be severable from the remainder of this Agreement and shall not invalidate or affect the other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable according to their terms. No covenant shall be dependent upon any other covenant or provision herein, each of which stands independently.

18. Modification. The parties expressly agree that should a court find any provision of this Agreement, or part thereof, to be unenforceable or unreasonable, the court may modify the provision, or part thereof, in a manner which renders that provision reasonable, enforceable, and in conformity with the public policy of Virginia.

19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

20. Notices. All written notices required by this Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at their addresses set forth on the signature page of this Agreement. Each party may, from time to time, designate a different address to which notices should be sent.

21. Amendment. This Agreement may not be varied, altered, modified or in any way amended except by an instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto or their legal representatives.

 

11


22. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Executive and on the Company, its successors and assigns effective on the date first above written subject to the approval by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company will require any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. If the Executive dies before receiving all payments due under this Agreement, unless expressly otherwise provided hereunder or in a separate plan, program, arrangement or agreement, any remaining payments due after the Executive’s death shall be made to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing (provided such writing is executed and dated by the Executive and delivered to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company prior to the Executive’s death) and surviving the Executive or, if none, to the Executive’s estate.

23. No Construction Against Any Party. This Agreement is the product of informed negotiations between the Executive and the Company. If any part of this Agreement is deemed to be unclear or ambiguous, it shall be construed as if it were drafted jointly by all parties. The Executive and the Company agree that neither party was in a superior bargaining position regarding the substantive terms of this Agreement.

24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein and it supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. It is specifically agreed and acknowledged that, except as provided herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to severance payments or benefits under any severance or similar plan, program, arrangement or agreement of or with the Employer or the Company for any cessation of employment occurring while this Agreement is in effect.

25. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Omnibus Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company’s Compensation Committee or Board of Directors is authorized to amend this Agreement, to amend or void any election made by the Executive under this Agreement and/or to delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in such manner as may be determined by it to be necessary or appropriate to comply, or to evidence or further evidence required compliance, with Section 409A of the Code (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder). For example, if a Change of Control occurs but the Change of Control does not constitute a change in ownership of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code with respect to which payment is permitted under Section 409A of the Code, then payment of any amount or provision of any benefit under this Agreement which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be deferred until another permissible payment event contained in Section 409A occurs (e.g., death, disability, separation from service from the Company and its affiliated companies as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), including any deferral of payment or provision of benefits in connection with a separation from service payment event to six months after a key employee of a publicly traded corporation as required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “409A Deferral Period”). In the event such payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during the 409A Deferral Period, the payments which would otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the payments shall be made as otherwise scheduled. In the event benefits are required to be deferred, any such benefit may be provided during the 409A Deferral Period at the Executive’s expense, with the Executive having a right to reimbursement from the Company once the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled.
