The Board of Directors of Middleburg Financial Corporation adopted the Supplemental Benefit Plan, effective July 1, 2004, for the purpose of attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as officers and managers of the Company.

The Plan is intended to be unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” (as such phrase is used in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974).  The Plan must be administered and construed in a manner that is consistent with that intent.

Effective January 1, 2005, any benefit, payment or other right provided by the Plan shall be provided or made in a manner, and at such time, in such form and subject to such election procedures (if any), as comply with the applicable requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and Treasury Regulations thereunder to avoid a plan failure described in Code section 409A(a)(1), including without limitation, deferring payment until the occurrence of a specified payment event described in Code section 409A(a)(2).  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or document pertaining hereto, the Plan shall be so construed and interpreted.

It is specifically intended that all elections, consents and modifications thereto under the Plan will comply with the requirements of Code section 409A (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder).  The Company is authorized to adopt rules or regulations deemed necessary or appropriate in connection therewith to anticipate and/or comply with the requirements of Code section 409A (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder) and to declare any election, consent or modification thereto void if non-compliant with Code section 409A.
