Deferred Compensation Plan Trust

Effective February 1, 2010

This Agreement authorized by the Board of Directors of Heritage Bankshares, Inc., on January 27, 2010, and made effective February 1, 2010, by and between Heritage Bankshares, Inc., Heritage Bank (collectively, together with their affiliates and successors, the “Company”) and John O. Guthrie (“Trustee”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the plans listed on Exhibit I to this Trust and may adopt additional nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements after the date of this Agreement (the “Plans”);

WHEREAS, the Company has incurred or expects to incur liability under the terms of the Plans with respect to the individuals participating therein;

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to establish a trust (hereinafter called the “Trust”) and to contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held hereunder, subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of the Company’s Insolvency (as defined herein), until paid to the Plans’ participants, and their beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Plans;

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plans as unfunded plans maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA); and

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Company to make contributions to the Trust from time to time to provide itself a source of funds to assist it in meeting its obligations under the Plans, provided, however, that there shall be no additional plans designated to participate in the Trust following a Change in Control (as defined herein).

Deferred Compensation Plan Trust

Effective February 1, 2010

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree that the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed as of follows:

ARTICLE I

Establishment of Trust

1.01. Initial Deposit

The Company hereby deposits with the Trustee in trust $1.00, which shall become the principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.

1.02. Irrevocability

The Trust hereby established is irrevocable.

1.03. Trust Status

The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and shall be construed accordingly.

1.04. Exclusive Purpose

The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon shall be held separate and apart from other funds of the Company and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of the Plans’ participants and general creditors as herein set forth. Plan participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any asset of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plans and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan participants and their beneficiaries against the Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Trust section 3.01.

1.05. Additional Deposits

The Company shall make additional deposits of cash or other property in trust with the Trustee to augment the principal to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as required by the Plans and provided in this Trust Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor any of the Plans’ participants or beneficiaries shall have any right to compel such additional deposits, provided, however, that following a Change in Control the Trustee may compel additional deposits necessary for the administration of the Trust, including, but not limited to, legal, accounting and other similar fees.

1.06. Change in Control

Upon a Change in Control (as defined in Exhibit II to this Trust), the Company shall, as soon as possible, but in no event longer than ten days following the Change in Control, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that is sufficient to pay each of the Plans’

participants or beneficiaries the benefits to which the Plans’ participants or their beneficiaries would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plans as of the Change in Control. The Company may engage an independent actuary who shall determine the amount of such irrevocable contribution. The Trustee may compel additional deposits necessary to pay each of the Plans’ participants or their beneficiaries the benefits to which the Plans’ participants or the beneficiaries would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plans as of the Change in Control. The Trustee also may compel any additional deposits necessary to pay benefits to which the Plans’ participants or beneficiaries would be entitled following a Change in Control. All of such benefits shall be determined, both as to amount and entitlement, by the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion.

ARTICLE II

Payments to Plan Participants and Their Beneficiaries

2.01. Payment Schedule

To the extent that benefits under the Plans are being paid from the Trust, the Company shall deliver to Trustee annually and upon a Change in Control a schedule (the “Payment Schedule”) that indicates the amounts payable in respect of each of the Plans’ participants (and their beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other instructions acceptable to the Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Plans), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall make payments to each of the Plans’ participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plans and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by the Company.

2.02. Benefit Determination

The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her beneficiaries to benefits under the Plans shall be determined by the Company or such party as it shall designate under the Plans, and any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Plans, provided, however, that following a Change in Control, the final benefit determination with respect to both the entitlement and the amount and timing of benefits for the Plans’ participants and beneficiaries shall rest with the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with the terms of the Plans.

2.03. Payment to Participant or Beneficiary

The Company may make payment of benefits directly to the Plans’ participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plans. The Company shall notify the Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to participants or their beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plans, the Company shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. The Trustee shall notify the Company when principal and earnings are not sufficient. In such case when the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon are insufficient to make payments in accordance with the terms of the Plans, the Trustee shall make payments first to those participants and beneficiaries in pay status (on a pro rata basis if necessary) and on a pro rata basis to any additional participants and beneficiaries in the order in which they become entitled to benefits.

ARTICLE III

Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments

to Trust Beneficiary When the Company is Insolvent

3.01. Cessation of Payments

The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to the Plans’ participants and their beneficiaries if the Company is Insolvent. The Company shall be considered “Insolvent” for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) the Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due or (ii) the Company is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

3.02. Determination of Insolvency

At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in Trust section 1.03, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of the Company under federal and state law as set forth below.

(a) The Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing of the Company’s Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of the Company alleges in writing to the Trustee that the Company has become Insolvent, the Trustee shall determine whether the Company is Insolvent and, pending such determination, the Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to the Plans’ participants and their beneficiaries. The insolvency of any member of the controlled group (as defined in Code section 414) of the Company shall not in and of itself, cause the Company or any other member of the Company’s controlled group to be deemed Insolvent.

(b) Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Company’s Insolvency, or has received notice from the Company or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that the Company is Insolvent, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the Company is Insolvent. The Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning the Company’s solvency as may be furnished to the Trustee and that provides the Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Company’s solvency.

(c) If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Company is Insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue payments to the Plans’ participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of the Company’s general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of the Plans’ participants or their beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Company with respect to benefits due under the Plans or otherwise.

(d) The Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to the Plans’ participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with Article II of this Trust Agreement only after the Trustee has determined that the Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

3.03. Reestablishment of Payments

Provided that there are sufficient assets, if the Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Trust section 3.02 and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to the Plans’ participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plans for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to the Plans’ participants or their beneficiaries by the Company in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance plus earnings on such difference based on the average interest rate in effect for 30-day Treasury bills over such period of discontinuance.
