(b) The number of shares of Continuing Corporation Common Stock subject to each such Continuing Corporation Stock Option shall be equal to the number of shares of FNB Common Stock subject to each such FNB Stock Option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole share of Continuing Corporation Common Stock, and such Continuing Corporation Stock Option shall have an exercise price per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the per share exercise price specified in such FNB Stock Option divided by the Exchange Ratio; provided that the exercise price, the number of shares of Continuing Corporation Common Stock subject to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of each such option (after taking into account the effect of any accelerated vesting thereof, if applicable) shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(c) Each restricted stock award granted under a FNB Stock Plan (a “FNB Stock Award”) which is unvested or contingent and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, shall cease, at the Effective Date, to represent any rights with respect to shares of FNB Common Stock and shall be converted without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into a restricted stock award of the Continuing Corporation (a “Continuing Corporation Stock Award”), on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the FNB Stock Awards (but taking into account any changes thereto, including any acceleration thereof, provided for in the FNB Stock Plan or in the related award document by reason of the Merger). The number of shares of Continuing Corporation Common Stock subject to each such Continuing Corporation Stock Award shall be equal to the number of shares of FNB Common Stock subject to the FNB Stock Award multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole share of Continuing Corporation Common Stock.

(d) As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Continuing Corporation will deliver to the holders of FNB Stock Options and FNB Stock Awards any required notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the

FNB Stock Plan and award documents and stating that such FNB Stock Options and FNB Stock Awards have been assumed by the Continuing Corporation and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.5 after giving effect to the Merger and the terms of the FNB Stock Plan).

(e) Following the Effective Date, the Continuing Corporation may maintain the FNB Stock Plan for purposes of granting future awards. The provisions of the FNB Stock Plan will be unchanged, except that (i) all stock options and other equity-based awards issued by the Continuing Corporation pursuant to the FNB Stock Plan following the Effective Date shall be stock options and equity-based awards in respect of Continuing Corporation Common Stock, (ii) all references to FNB (other than any references relating to a “change in control” of FNB) in the FNB Stock Plan and in each agreement evidencing any award thereunder shall be deemed to refer to the Continuing Corporation, unless the Continuing Corporation determines otherwise, and (iii) the number of shares of Continuing Corporation Common Stock available for future issuance pursuant to the FNB Stock Plan following the Effective Date (the “Available FNB Stock Plan Shares”) shall be equal to the number of shares of FNB Common Stock so available immediately prior to the Effective Date multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded, if necessary, down to the nearest whole share of Continuing Corporation Common Stock.

(f) The Continuing Corporation shall reserve for future issuance a sufficient number of shares of Continuing Corporation Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the FNB Stock Options assumed by it in accordance with this Section 2.5, plus the number of Available FNB Stock Plan Shares in the event the Continuing Corporation maintains the FNB Stock Plan as contemplated by Section 2.5(e). As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Continuing Corporation will file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of FNB Common Stock subject to such Continuing Corporation Stock Options and Continuing Corporation Stock Awards (and the Available FNB Stock Plan Shares), as the case dictates) and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and the current status of the prospectus contained therein) for so long as such Continuing Corporation Stock Options remain outstanding.

It has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own and operate its assets, properties and business. It is duly registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.

(b) Subsidiaries. Each of its Subsidiaries (i) is a duly organized corporation, validly existing and in good standing under applicable laws, (ii) has full corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business in the states where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect on it on a consolidated basis. The outstanding shares of capital stock of each of its Subsidiaries are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable and all such shares are directly or indirectly owned by it free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances or preemptive rights

The term “Subsidiary” when used with respect to any party means any corporation or other business organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, at least a majority of the securities or other interests of which that have by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or others performing similar functions with respect to such corporation or other organization is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such party or by any one or more of its Subsidiaries.

(a) VFG shall call a meeting of its stockholders to be held as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of obtaining the VFG Stockholder Approval and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such meeting to occur as soon as reasonably practicable. The Board of Directors of VFG shall support and recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the VFG Stockholder Approval unless the Board has received and recommended (or submitted to stockholders) a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.5.

(b) FNB shall call a meeting of its stockholders to be held as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of obtaining the FNB Stockholder Approval and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such meeting to occur as soon as reasonably practicable. The Board of Directors of FNB shall support and recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the FNB Stockholder Approval unless the Board has received and recommended (or submitted to stockholders) a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.5.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve either party of its obligation to submit this Agreement to its stockholders for a vote on the adoption thereof; provided, that neither party will be required to submit this Agreement to its stockholders if doing so would not be permissible under applicable law.

5.4 Registration Statement; Joint Proxy Statement; SEC Filings.

(a) Each party will cooperate with the other party, and their representatives, in the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-4 or other appropriate form, including any pre-effective or post-effective amendments or supplements thereto (the “Registration Statement”), to be filed by VFG with the SEC in connection with the issuance of Continuing Corporation Common Stock in the Merger, and the parties will prepare a joint proxy statement and prospectus and other proxy solicitation materials of VFG and FNB constituting a part thereof (the “Joint Proxy Statement”). Neither the Joint Proxy Statement nor the Registration

Statement shall be filed, and, prior to the termination of this Agreement, no amendment or supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement shall be filed by VFG or FNB without consultation with the other party and its counsel. VFG will use all reasonable efforts, in which FNB will reasonably cooperate as necessary, to file the Registration Statement, including the Joint Proxy Statement in preliminary form, with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable and to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof.

(b) Each party agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Joint Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to shareholders and at the times of the respective stockholder meetings, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement was made, not misleading. Each party further agrees that if it becomes aware that any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Joint Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take appropriate steps to correct the Joint Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement.

5.5 No Other Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Each party agrees that it will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (including any financial advisor, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, (ii) furnish any confidential or nonpublic information relating to, or (iii) engage or participate in any negotiations or discussions concerning, an Acquisition Transaction (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall prohibit either party, prior to its respective meeting of stockholders to be held pursuant to Section 5.3, from furnishing nonpublic information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, any person or entity that makes an unsolicited, bona fide written proposal regarding an Acquisition Transaction with respect to such party if, and only to the extent that (i) such party’s board of directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with and based upon the written advice of outside counsel, that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable law, (ii) before taking such action, such party receives from such person or entity an executed confidentiality agreement, and (iii) such party’s board of directors concludes in good faith that the proposal regarding the Acquisition Transaction constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal (as defined below). Each party shall immediately (within 24 hours) notify the other party orally and in writing of its receipt of any such proposal or inquiry, the material terms and conditions thereof, the identity of the person making such proposal or inquiry, and will keep the other party apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations on a current basis, including by providing a copy of all material documentation or correspondence relating thereto.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acquisition Transaction” means any of the following transactions involving VFG or FNB, or their respective Subsidiaries, other than as contemplated by this Agreement: (i) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving a party or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 10% of the consolidated assets of the party; (ii) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of 10% or more of the consolidated assets of a party and its Subsidiaries or 10% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of a party or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 10% of the consolidated assets of the party; or (iii) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third party beneficially owning 10% or more

of any class of equity or voting securities of a party or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 10% of the consolidated assets of the party.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written proposal for an Acquisition Transaction that the Board of Directors of VFG or FNB, as the case may be, concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal and the person making the proposal (including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation) (A) is more favorable to the stockholders of VFG or FNB, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, than the Merger and (B) is fully financed or reasonably capable of being fully financed and reasonably likely to receive all required approvals of Governmental Authorities (as defined below in Section 5.6(a)) on a timely basis and otherwise reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed; provided that, for purposes of this definition of “Superior Proposal,” the Acquisition Transaction shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.5(b), except the reference to “10% or more” in such definition shall be deemed to be a reference to “a majority” and “Acquisition Transaction” shall only be deemed to refer to a transaction involving FNB or VFG or one of their respective banking Subsidiaries.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.5 shall permit either party to terminate this Agreement or affect any other obligation of the parties under this Agreement.

5.6 Applications and Consents.

(a) The parties shall cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to prepare as promptly as possible all documentation, to effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of each Governmental Authority (as defined below) and all third parties necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Regulatory Approvals”) and will make all necessary filings in respect of the Regulatory Approvals as soon as practicable. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Governmental Authority” means any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any industry self-regulatory authority.

(b) Each party will promptly furnish to the other party copies of applications filed with all Governmental Authorities and copies of written communications received by such party from any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party will consult with the other party with respect to the obtaining of all Regulatory Approvals and other material consents from third parties advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each party will keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby. All documents that the parties or their respective Subsidiaries are responsible for filing with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including to obtain Regulatory Approvals) will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of applicable law.

5.7 Public Announcements.

Prior to the Effective Date, the parties will consult with each other as to the form and substance of any press release or other public statement materially related to this Agreement prior to issuing such press release or public statement or making any other public disclosure related thereto (including any broad based employee communication that is reasonably likely to become the subject of public disclosure); provided, that nothing in this Section 5.7 shall prohibit any party from making any disclosure necessary in order to satisfy such party’s disclosure obligations imposed by applicable law or the rules established by the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other self-regulatory organization.

5.8 Affiliate Agreements.

VFG has identified to FNB all persons who are, as of the date hereof, directors or executive officers of VFG (the “VFG Affiliates”), and FNB has identified to VFG all persons who are, as of the date hereof, directors or executive officers of FNB (the “FNB Affiliates”). Each party will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a written agreement in the form of Exhibit 5.8 hereto to be delivered, on or prior to the date hereof to FNB from each VFG Affiliate and to VFG from each FNB Affiliate, on or prior to the date hereof.

5.9 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Following the Effective Date, the Continuing Corporation at its election shall either (i) provide generally to officers and employees of FNB and its Subsidiaries, who at or after the Effective Time become employees of the Continuing Corporation or its Subsidiaries (“FNB Continuing Employees”), employee benefits under Benefit Plans maintained by the Continuing Corporation, on terms and conditions which are the same as for similarly situated officers and employees of the Continuing Corporation and its Subsidiaries, or (ii) maintain for the benefit of the FNB Continuing Employees, the Benefit Plans maintained by FNB immediately prior to the Effective Date; provided that the Continuing Corporation may amend any Benefit Plan maintained by FNB immediately prior to the Effective Date to comply with any law or as necessary and appropriate for other business reasons. Prior to the Effective Date, VFG and FNB shall cooperate in reviewing, evaluating and analyzing their respective Benefit Plans with a view towards developing appropriate and effective Benefit Plans for employees of VFG and FNB and their Subsidiaries after the Effective Date.

(b) For purposes of participation, vesting and benefit accrual (except not for purposes of benefit accrual with respect to any plan in which such credit would result in a duplication of benefits) under the Continuing Corporation’s Benefit Plans, service with or credited by FNB or any of its Subsidiaries shall be treated as service with the Continuing Corporation; provided that this provision shall not cause VFG’s tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan (which is not open to new participants) to be opened to new participants or to provide additional credit for pre-Effective Date service for benefit accrual purposes. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Continuing Corporation shall cause welfare Benefit Plans maintained by the Continuing Corporation that cover the FNB Continuing Employees after the Effective Date to (i) waive any waiting period and restrictions and limitations for preexisting conditions or insurability (except for pre-existing conditions that were excluded, or restrictions or limitations that were applicable, under the Benefit Plans maintained by FNB), and (ii) cause any deductible, co-insurance, or maximum out-of-pocket payments made by the FNB Continuing Employees under welfare Benefit Plans maintained by FNB to be credited to such FNB Continuing Employees under welfare Benefit Plans maintained by the Continuing Corporation, so as to reduce the amount of any deductible, co-insurance, or maximum out-of-pocket payments payable by such FNB Continuing Employees under welfare Benefit Plans maintained by the Continuing Corporation.

(c) Each employee of VFG or FNB, or one of their respective Subsidiaries, at the Effective Date who is terminated by the Continuing Corporation after the Effective Date, excluding any employee who has a contract providing for severance, shall be entitled to severance pay in accordance with the severance policy adopted prior to the Effective Date by the parties hereto, if and to the extent that such employee is entitled to severance pay under such policy. Such employee’s service with VFG or FNB shall be treated as service with the Continuing Corporation for purposes of determining the amount of severance pay, if any, under the Continuing Corporation’s severance policy.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.9 shall be interpreted as preventing the Continuing Corporation, from and after the Effective Date, from amending, modifying or terminating any Benefit Plans maintained by either VFG or FNB or their respective Subsidiaries or any other contracts, arrangements, commitments or plans of either party in accordance with their terms and applicable law.

5.10 Nasdaq Listing.

The parties will use all reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of the Continuing Corporation Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Effective Date.

5.11 Indemnification.

(a) Following the Effective Date, the Continuing Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless any person who has rights to indemnification from FNB, to the same extent and on the same conditions as such person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to applicable law and FNB’s Organizational Documents, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, to the extent legally permitted to do so with respect to matters occurring on or before the Effective Date. Without limiting the foregoing, in any case in which corporate approval may be required to effectuate any indemnification, the Continuing Corporation shall direct, if the party to be indemnified elects, that the determination of permissibility of indemnification shall be made by independent counsel mutually agreed upon between the Continuing Corporation and the indemnified party. The Continuing Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain FNB’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability policy, or some other policy, including VFG’s existing policy, providing at least comparable coverage, covering persons who are currently covered by such insurance of FNB for a period of six years after the Effective Date on terms no less favorable to the directors and officers than those in effect on the date hereof.

(b) The provisions of this Section 5.11 are intended to be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by each indemnified party and his or her heirs and representatives.

5.12 Employment Arrangements.

(a) The Continuing Corporation will, as of and after the Effective Date, assume and honor all employment agreements, severance agreements and deferred compensation agreements that VFG and FNB and their respective Subsidiaries have with their current and former officers and directors and which are set forth in its Disclosure Letter, except to the extent any such agreements shall be superseded on or after the Effective Date.

(b) The Continuing Corporation will enter into employment agreements, which will become effective as of the Effective Date, with William P. Heath, Jr., O. R. Barham, Jr., Litz H. Van Dyke, Jeffrey W. Farrar, and Gregory W. Feldmann in the form of Exhibit 5.12.

(c) Each party will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain appropriate agreements and waivers from certain of its officers and its Subsidiaries’ officers that the Merger will not constitute a change in control within the meaning of their respective employment or change in control agreements.

5.13 Takeover Laws.

If any Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Stock Option Agreements, each party and the members of their respective Boards of Directors will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary (other than as contemplated by Section 5.3) so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the Stock Option Agreements may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Law on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the Stock Option Agreements.

5.14 Change of Method.

VFG and FNB shall be empowered, upon their mutual agreement and at any time prior to the Effective Date, to change the method or structure of effecting the combination of VFG and FNB (including the provisions of Article 1), if and to the extent they both deem such change to be necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided

that no such change shall (i) alter or change the Exchange Ratio or the number of shares of Continuing Corporation Common Stock received by FNB stockholders in exchange for each share of FNB Common Stock and VFG stockholders in exchange for each share of VFG Common Stock, (ii) adversely affect the tax treatment of FNB’s stockholders or VFG’s stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) adversely affect the tax treatment of FNB or VFG pursuant to this Agreement or (iv) materially impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a timely manner. The parties agree to reflect any such change in an appropriate amendment to this Agreement executed by both parties in accordance with Section 8.3.

Pursuant to this Plan of Merger (“Plan of Merger”), FNB Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“FNB”), shall merge with and into Virginia Financial Group, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“VFG”).

ARTICLE 1

Terms of the Merger

1.1 The Merger.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of July 26, 2007, between FNB and VFG (the “Agreement”), at the Effective Date, FNB shall be merged with and into VFG (the “Merger”) in accordance with the provisions of Virginia law and with the effect specified in Section 13.1-721 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “Act”). VFG shall be the surviving corporation of the Merger (VFG as existing on and after the Effective Date is sometimes referred to herein as the “Continuing Corporation”). The Merger shall become effective on such date and time as may be determined in accordance with Section 1.2 of the Agreement (the “Effective Date”).

ARTICLE 2

Manner of Converting and Exchanging Shares

2.1 Conversion of Shares; Exchange of Shares.

At the Effective Date, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the stockholders of FNB and VFG, as the case may be, such stockholders will be entitled to the following:

(a) Each share of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of FNB (“FNB Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date will be converted into and exchanged for 1.585 fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Continuing Corporation (“Continuing Corporation Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and this Plan of Merger (the “Exchange Ratio”).

(b) All shares of FNB Common Stock converted pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Date. Each certificate previously representing any such shares (the “Old FNB Certificates”) shall cease to represent any rights except the right to receive with respect to each underlying share of FNB Common Stock (i) a new certificate representing the number of whole shares of Continuing Corporation Common Stock into which the shares of FNB Common Stock represented by the Old FNB Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.1 upon the surrender of such Old FNB Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, (ii) in accordance with Section 2.3, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Continuing Corporation Common Stock, and (iii) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.4.

(c) Each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of VFG (“VFG Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date shall remain an issued and outstanding share of
