5. Transferability of Restricted Stock.

 

  (a) If the Vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock occurs before the end of the TARP Period, such Vested Restricted Stock shall not become freely transferable until the first day after the TARP Period ends, except in accordance with the following schedule:

 

When the Corporation has repaid this percentage of the Aggregate TARP Financial Assistance:    This percentage of the Restricted Stock (to the extent Vested) shall be freely transferable:

50%    50% (rounded down to the nearest whole share)
75%    75% (rounded down to the nearest whole share)
100%    100%

  (b) If the Vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock occurs after the end of the TARP Period, such shares of Vested Restricted Stock shall also become freely transferable at the same time as Vesting occurs.

 

  (c) Except as contemplated in Paragraph 5(a) and/or (b), the Restricted Stock, and the rights and privileges conferred hereby, shall not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated in any way, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process, prior to the later of their Vesting or the end of the TARP Period (the period from the Award Date through such latter date being the “Non-Transferability Period”).

6. Forfeiture. Except in connection with a Vesting Acceleration Event defined in Paragraph 4(c)(ii)(B), if the Participant’s employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries ceases prior to <<grant date + 2 years>>, all of the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Corporation. If the Participant’s employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries ceases on or after <<grant date + 2 years>>, any shares of Restricted Stock that are not considered Vested by or at the cessation of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall be forfeited to the Corporation.

7. Shareholder Rights. Subject to Paragraph 13, Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to the Restricted Stock, including the right to receive dividends on and to vote the Restricted Stock; provided, however, that (i) Participant

may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Stock, (ii) the Corporation shall retain custody of the certificates evidencing shares of the Restricted Stock as provided in Paragraph 8, and (iii) Participant will deliver a stock power in accordance with Paragraph 9.

8. Custody of Certificates. Custody of stock certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock (if the Restricted Stock is issued in certificated form) shall be retained by the Corporation until such time as the Non-Transferability Period with respect to such shares lapses, or such shares are forfeited hereunder. Promptly after the Non-Transferability Period lapses with respect to any shares of Vested Restricted Stock, the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates (or cause the Corporation’s transfer agent to make a book-entry or electronic notation) evidencing the number of such shares as to which the Non-Transferability Period has lapsed.

9. Stock Power. Participant shall deliver to the Corporation a stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to the Restricted Stock. The Corporation shall use the stock power to cancel any shares of Restricted Stock that do not become Vested. The Corporation shall return the stock power to Participant with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock that become Vested. The Participant, by execution of this Agreement, shall be deemed to appoint, and does so appoint, the Corporation and each of its authorized representatives as the Participant’s attorney(s) in fact to effect any transfer of forfeited shares (or shares otherwise reacquired or withheld by the Corporation hereunder), or any adjustment to the number of shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to Paragraph 13 or Paragraph 17 below, to the Corporation as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such documents as the Corporation or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer.

10. Fractional Shares. Fractional shares shall not be issuable hereunder, and when any provision hereof or of the Plan may entitle Participant to a fractional share, such fraction shall be disregarded.

11. Taxes. The Corporation shall have the right to retain and withhold the amount of taxes (at the statutorily required rates) required by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to the Restricted Stock. At its discretion, the Committee may require the Participant to reimburse the Corporation for any such taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation and to withhold any distribution in whole or in part until the Corporation is so reimbursed. The Participant or any successor in interest is authorized to deliver shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of such withholding obligations, or to elect to have the Corporation retain and withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery or withholding not less than the amount of such taxes and cancel any such shares so withheld in order to satisfy the Corporation’s withholding obligations. In the event the Participant does not deliver or elect to have the Corporation retain and withhold shares of Common Stock as described in the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall have the right to withhold from any other cash amounts due to or to become due from the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) to the Participant an amount equal to such taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation to reimburse the Corporation for any such taxes. To the extent shares of Vested

Restricted Stock are withheld under this Paragraph 11 to satisfy a withholding obligation, the Participant shall not be entitled to have additional shares of Vested Restricted Stock be made freely transferable prior to the end of the TARP Period as described in Paragraph 5(a) with respect to that same obligation.

12. No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement does not confer upon Participant any right with respect to continued employment by the Corporation, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation to terminate Participant’s employment at any time (subject to the terms of Participant’s Employment Agreement, if applicable).

13. Change in Capital Structure. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Award shall be adjusted as the Board of Directors determines is equitably required in the event the Corporation effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes in capitalization.

14. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Award shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

15. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

16. Participant Bound by Plan. Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof.

17. CPP Limitations.

 

  (a) The Corporation has participated in the CPP, and the Corporation is required to comply with the requirements of Section 111(b) of the EESA, in accordance with the CPP Requirements.

 

  (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Participant acknowledges and understands that this Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and construed and, if and where applicable, benefits provided hereunder, including where applicable Vesting and/or transferability, shall be limited, deferred, forfeited and/or subject to repayment to the Corporation in accordance with the CPP Requirements and Section 111(b) of the EESA, as amended from time to time, to the extent legally applicable with respect to the Participant, as determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion, including without limitation the clawback, the bonus prohibition and the golden parachute prohibitions thereof.

 

  (c) The Award is intended to provide a grant of TARP-compliant long-term restricted stock and shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with that intent and purpose.

  (d)

Without any further action, this Agreement shall be automatically adjusted if necessary to reduce the number of shares of Restricted Stock to the maximum number permitted for the Award, together with other awards granted to the Participant in calendar year <<year of grant date>> that are taken into account in determining compliance with the TARP-compliant long-term restricted stock exception to the bonus prohibition in the CPP Requirements (i.e., if the aggregate of such awards has a value in excess of the 1/3rd of annual compensation limit for TARP-compliant long-term restricted stock), to constitute TARP-compliant long-term restricted stock; and in such event the number of shares of Restricted Stock which are reduced shall be immediately forfeited and excluded from the definition of Restricted Stock, ab initio, for all purposes of this Agreement. If the Participant receives or has received in calendar year <<year of grant date>> other awards of restricted stock and/or restricted stock units also intending to constitute TARP-compliant long-term restricted stock, the reduction in the number of shares of Restricted Stock required by this Paragraph shall be applied as follows: (i) any later grant of restricted stock or restricted stock units to the Participant in calendar year <<year of grant date>> shall be reduced before any earlier award granted to the Participant in calendar year <<year of grant date>>; and (ii) if multiple awards of restricted stock and/or restricted stock units that must be taken into account in determining compliance with the TARP-compliant long-term restricted stock exception are granted to the Participant on the same day, (A) where such awards are “time-based” (i.e., those vesting solely on the basis of time) awards and “performance-based” awards (i.e., those vesting, in whole or in part, on the basis of performance metrics), the number of shares of Restricted Stock shall be reduced pro rata in each award, and (B) all other awards shall be reduced on a pro rata basis.

 

  (e) The Board of Directors shall have the right unilaterally to amend this Agreement to effect or document any changes or additions which in its view are necessary or appropriate to comply with the CPP Requirements and Section 111 of the EESA, as amended from time to time, including any changes or additions which in its view are necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Award constitutes TARP-compliant long-term restricted stock for purposes of the CPP Requirements.

18. Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations stated above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the legatees, distributees, and personal representative of the Participant and the successors of the Corporation.

To evidence its grant of the Award Shares and the terms, conditions and restrictions thereof, the Corporation has signed this Agreement as of the Award Date. This Agreement shall not become legally binding unless the Participant has accepted this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the Award Date (or such longer period as the Chairman of the Committee may accept) pursuant to such means as the Committee may permit. If the Participant fails to timely accept this Agreement, the grant of the Award Shares shall be cancelled and forfeited ab initio.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Agreement to be signed on its behalf, and the Participant has affixed his signature hereto.
