NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

Section 1.                      Services; Term.

(a)           Consistent with the Corporation’s bylaws and applicable law, the Corporation and the Chairman intend for the Chairman to serve as the Chairman of the Board from the Effective Date through April 30, 2013 (the “Term”).  This Agreement is not intended to preclude or address the Chairman’s serving as the Chairman of the Board before or after the Term, based on circumstances in effect at such other time or times.  As the Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has determined, and the Chairman agrees, that the Chairman is directly responsible for all issues related to the functioning of the Board, including, without limitation:  (i) giving input to the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) for setting the annual schedule for meetings of the Board and its committees; (ii) giving input to the CEO for setting the annual plan for Board presentations and the agenda for planning meetings and monthly Board meetings; (iii) appointing Board committees; (iv) chairing the Governance and Loan Committees, with the understanding that the CEO will chair an applicable committee in the Chairman’s absence; (v) leading evaluations of Board members; (vi) leading the development of new Board nominees; (vii) remaining a member of the Board of Directors of Middleburg Investment Group; (viii) providing legislative and regulatory assistance as requested by the CEO; (ix) acting as a representative of the Corporation as requested by

Such duties will consist of:  (i) assisting with business development efforts of the Corporation; (ii) attending senior leadership meetings when requested to stay current with strategy, performance and new initiatives of the Corporation and its affiliates; (iii) standing in for the CEO in corporate or public functions where needed; and (iv) remaining active in community groups as needed to support the CEO and the Corporation’s community visibility.

to be provided in accordance with Section 1(b) through that date.  In addition, for the services described in Section 1(b) above, the Corporation shall pay 33% of the actual golf and tennis club membership dues incurred by Chairman for membership in the Middleburg Tennis Club and Loudoun Golf and Country Club during the Second Year.

(iii) Compensation for the services to be rendered by the Chairman in accordance with Section 1(b) above will cease at the end of the Term.

(c)           If the Chairman ceases to provide services under Section 1(a) for any reason prior to the end of the Term, no further compensation will be paid under Section 2(a), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.  If the Chairman ceases to provide services under Section 1(b) for any reason prior to the end of the Term, no further compensation will be paid under Section 2(b), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 3.                      Expense Account.

The Corporation shall provide the Chairman a corporate credit card to cover reasonable and customary business expenses incurred during the Term in the carrying out his duties hereunder.
