(a) Subject to Section 2.01, Section 2.02 and Section 2.04(e), each share of the common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Common Stock”), except for shares of Company Common Stock owned by Company (in each case other than shares of Company Common Stock (x) held in trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties or (y) held, directly or indirectly, by Company in respect of debts previously contracted), shall be converted into the right to receive the following, without interest:

(i) For each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.02 (collectively, the “Cash Election Shares”), an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration (the “Cash Consideration”);

(ii) For each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive Parent Common Stock (a “Stock Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.02 (collectively, the “Stock Election Shares”), a number of shares of common stock, par value $1.667, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Stock Consideration”); and

(iii) For each share of Company Common Stock other than shares as to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.02 (collectively the “Non-Election Shares”), the right to receive such Stock Consideration or Cash Consideration as is determined in accordance with Section 2.01.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Article 2
Exchange of Shares

Section 2.01. Proration.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the total number of shares of Company Common Stock (including shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards, but excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 1.05(d)) to be entitled to receive the Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 1.05(a) shall be equal to (i) no less than the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying (x) 0.5 by (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including for these purposes the shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards, but excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 1.05(d)) (the “Minimum Stock Conversion Number”) and (ii) no more than the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying (x) 0.6 by (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including for these purposes the shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards, but excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 1.05(d)) (the “Maximum Stock Conversion Number”). All other shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.05(a) (including shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards, but excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 1.05(d)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

(b) Promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) business days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of Company Common Stock and Company Restricted Stock Awards of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as follows:

(i) If the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock (including shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards) with respect to which Stock Elections shall have been made (the “Stock Election Number”) is no less than the Minimum Stock Conversion Number but no more than the Maximum Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration;

(ii) If the Stock Election Number exceeds the Maximum Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.01(a), whether fractions of Stock Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; and

(iii) If the Stock Election Number is less than the Minimum Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Minimum Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(A) If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and the Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.01(a), whether fractions of Non-Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; or

(B) If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and Cash Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the total number of Non-Election Shares, and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.01(a), whether fractions of Cash Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

Section 2.02. Election Procedures. Each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Restricted Stock Awards to be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and/or the Stock Consideration in accordance with, and subject to, Section 1.05(a) (a “Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 2 and except as otherwise may be agreed by such holder and Parent, to submit an election in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) Each Holder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.02 (herein called an “Election”) (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Holder (or subject to such Company Restricted Stock Awards) with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Stock Election and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Holder (or subject to such Company Restricted Stock Awards) with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Cash Election.

(b) Parent shall prepare a form reasonably acceptable to Company, including appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as prepared by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Form of Election”), so as to permit Holders to exercise their right to make an Election, and shall make such form available to Company for review not less than five (5) business days prior to its first distribution to Holders.

(c) Parent (i) shall initially make available and mail the Form of Election not less than twenty (20) business days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline to Holders of record as of the business day prior to such mailing date, and (ii) following such mailing date, shall use all reasonable efforts to make available as promptly as possible a Form of Election to any shareholder or holder of Company Restricted Stock Awards who requests such Form of Election prior to the Election Deadline. The time period between such mailing date and the Election Deadline is referred to herein as the “Election Period”.

(d) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, during the Election Period, a Form of Election properly completed and signed (including duly executed transmittal materials included in the Form of Election) and accompanied by any Old Certificates representing all certificated shares to which such Form of Election relates or by an appropriate customary guarantee of delivery of such Old Certificates, as set forth in such Form of Election, from a member of any registered national securities exchange or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States. As used herein, unless otherwise agreed in advance by the parties, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. local time (in the city in which the principal office of the Exchange Agent is located) on the date which the parties shall agree is as near as practicable to two (2) business days preceding the Closing Date. The parties shall cooperate to issue a press release reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the date of the Election Deadline not more than fifteen (15) business days before, and at least five (5) business days prior to, the Election Deadline.

(e) Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, change or revoke his or her Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election. If any Election is not properly made with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards (none of Parent, Company nor the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Holder of any such defect), such Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the shares of Company Common Stock or any shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non-Election Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made.

(f) Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his or her Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of his or her Old Certificates, or of the guarantee of delivery of such Old Certificates, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent. All Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the parties that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

(g) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Form of Election, Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable, good faith discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the validity of the Forms of Election and compliance by any Holder with the Election procedures set forth herein.

Section 2.03. Parent to Make Consideration Available. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with this Article 2 for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates, (a) evidence in book-entry form representing shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Stock Consideration to be issued pursuant to Section 1.05(a), and (b) cash in an amount sufficient to pay (i) the aggregate Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.05(a) and (ii) cash in lieu of any fractional shares to be paid pursuant to Section 2.04(e) (such cash and shares of Parent Common Stock described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto payable in accordance with Section 2.04(b), being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, and provided further that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Old Certificates. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

Section 2.04. Exchange of Shares.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than five (5) business days thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time that have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to Article 1 and that has not theretofore submitted its Old Certificates with a Form of Election, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for the Stock Consideration and/or the Cash Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement, as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant to Section 2.04(b) (such materials and instructions to include customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to book-entry shares). From and after the Effective Time and the completion of the allocation procedure set forth in Section 2.01, upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Old Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent (it being understood that no certificates shall be required to be delivered for shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry at the Effective Time), together with such properly completed letter of transmittal or Form of Election, as applicable, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (x) (i) that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock representing the Stock Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.05(a) and (ii) a check or other method of cash payment representing the amount of (A) the Cash Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.05(a), (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04(e) and (C) any dividends or distributions which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to Section 2.04(b), and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Stock Consideration, the Cash Consideration or any cash in lieu of fractional shares or dividends or distributions payable to holders of Old Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by Section 2.02 and this Section 2.04, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the applicable Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Section 2.04.

(b) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article 2. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Article 2, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the Stock Consideration that the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive.

(c) If any share of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Old Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares and dividends or distributions that the holder presenting such Old Certificates is entitled to in respect of such Old Certificates, as provided in this Article 2.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each former holder of Company Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing-sale prices of Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the consecutive period of five (5) full trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date (or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually agreed upon by Parent and Company) by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest one-thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.05(a). The parties acknowledge that payment of such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Company for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation. Any former holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the applicable Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each former share of Company Common Stock such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by former holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

(g) The Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from the applicable Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, cash dividends or distributions payable pursuant to this Section 2.04 or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Restricted Stock Awards, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or distribution under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock or Company Restricted Stock Awards in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(h) In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends or distributions deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Article 3
Representations and Warranties of Company

Except (a) as disclosed in the disclosure schedule delivered by Company to Parent concurrently herewith (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”); provided, that (i) no such item is required to be set forth as an exception to a representation or warranty if its absence would not result in the related representation or warranty being deemed untrue or incorrect, (ii) the mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by Company that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Company and (iii) any disclosures made with respect to a section of this Article 3 shall be deemed to qualify (1) any other section of this Article 3 specifically referenced or cross-referenced and (2) other sections of this Article 3 to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross reference) from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure applies to such other sections or (b) except with respect to matters that relate to the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02, as disclosed in any Company Reports filed by Company since January 1, 2023, and prior to the date hereof (but disregarding risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” or disclosures of risks set forth in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are similarly non-specific or cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), Company and Company Subsidiary Bank hereby represent and warrant to Parent as follows:

Section 3.01. Corporate Organization.

(a) Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and is a bank holding company duly registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). Company Subsidiary Bank is a nationally chartered banking association duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America. Each of Company and Company Subsidiary Bank has the corporate power and authority to own, lease or operate all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned, leased or operated by it makes such licensing, qualification or standing necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to Parent, Company or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, any effect, change, event, circumstance, condition, occurrence or development that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, results of operations or financial condition of such party and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (provided that, with respect to this clause (i), Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include the impact of (A) changes, after the date hereof, in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or applicable regulatory accounting requirements,(B) changes, after the date hereof, in laws, rules or regulations of general applicability to companies in the industries in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate, or interpretations thereof by courts or Governmental Entities, (C) changes, after the date hereof, in global, national or regional political conditions (including the outbreak or escalation of war or acts of terrorism) or in economic or market (including equity, credit and debt markets, as well as changes in interest rates) conditions affecting the financial services industry generally and not specifically relating to such party or its Subsidiaries, (D) changes, after the date hereof, resulting from hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, floods or other natural disasters or from any outbreak of any disease or other public health event, (E) public disclosure or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or actions expressly required by this Agreement or that are taken with the prior written consent of the other party in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood and agreed that this clause (E) shall not apply with respect to any representation or warranty that is intended to address the consequences of the execution, announcement or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), or (F) a decline in the trading price of a party’s common stock or the failure, in and of itself, to meet earnings projections or internal financial forecasts, but not, in either case, including any underlying causes thereof; except, with respect to subclause (A), (B), (C) or (D), to the extent that the effects of such change are materially disproportionately adverse to the business, properties, assets, liabilities, results of operations or financial condition of such party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other companies in the industry in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate) or (ii) the ability of such party to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. As used in this Agreement, the word “Subsidiary” when used with respect to any person, means any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, bank or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, or person of which (x) such first person directly or indirectly owns or controls at least a majority of the securities or other interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or others performing similar functions or (y) such first person is or directly or indirectly has the power to appoint a general partner, manager or managing member or others performing similar functions. True and complete copies of the articles of incorporation of Company (the “Company Articles”), the bylaws of Company (the “Company Bylaws”), the articles of incorporation of Company Subsidiary Bank (the “Company Subsidiary Bank Articles”) and the bylaws of Company Subsidiary Bank (the “Company Subsidiary Bank Bylaws”), in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have previously been made available by Company to Parent. Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of the Company Articles or the Company Bylaws.

(b) Each Subsidiary of Company (a “Company Subsidiary”) (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) is duly licensed or qualified to do business and, where such concept is recognized under applicable law, in good standing in all jurisdictions (whether federal, state, local or foreign) where its ownership, leasing or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so licensed or qualified or in good standing unless the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Company and (iii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease or operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted. There are no restrictions on the ability of Company or any Subsidiary of Company to pay dividends or distributions except, in the case of Company or a Subsidiary that is a regulated entity, for restrictions on dividends or distributions generally applicable to all similarly regulated entities. The deposit accounts of Company Subsidiary Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) through the Deposit Insurance Fund (as defined in Section 3(y) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950) to the fullest extent permitted by law, all premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been paid when due, and no proceedings for the termination of such insurance are pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened. Section 3.01(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all Subsidiaries of Company as of the date hereof. No Subsidiary of Company is in violation of any of the provisions of the articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of such Subsidiary of Company. There is no person whose results of operations, cash flows, changes in shareholders’ equity or financial position are consolidated in the financial statements of Company other than the Company Subsidiaries.

Section 3.02. Capitalization.

As of March 31, 2025 (the “Capitalization Date ”), there were (i) 5,105,029 shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding, including 91,616 shares of Company Common Stock granted in respect of time-based Company Restricted Stock Awards, (ii) zero shares of Company Common Stock held in treasury, (iii) zero shares of Company Common Stock reserved for issuance upon settlement of outstanding purchase rights under the ESPP (determined by reference to the closing price of a share of Company Common Stock on the Capitalization Date), and (iv) no other shares of capital stock or other voting securities or equity interests of Company issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. As of the date of this Agreement, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, and for changes since the Capitalization Date resulting from the settlement of any outstanding purchase rights under the ESPP, there are no shares of capital stock or other voting securities or equity interests of Company issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof. There are no trust preferred or subordinated debt securities of Company or any Company Subsidiary issued or outstanding. There are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness that have the right to vote on any matters on which shareholders of Company may vote. Other than the Company Restricted Stock Awards outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to the ESPP, as of the date of this Agreement there are no outstanding subscriptions, equity or equity-based compensation awards (including options, stock appreciation rights, phantom units or shares, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, performance awards, profit participation rights, or dividend or dividend equivalent rights or similar awards), warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, preemptive rights, anti-dilutive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights, puts, calls, commitments or agreements of any character relating to, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, shares of capital stock or other voting or equity securities of or ownership interest in Company, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which Company may become bound to issue additional shares of its capital stock or other equity or voting securities of or ownership interests in Company, or that otherwise obligate Company or any Company Subsidiary to issue, transfer, sell, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, any of the foregoing (collectively, “Company Securities”). No Company Subsidiary owns any capital stock of Company. There are no voting trusts, shareholder agreements, proxies or other agreements in effect to which Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the voting or transfer of Company Common Stock, capital stock or other voting or equity securities or ownership interests of Company or granting any shareholder or other person any registration rights.

(b) Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity ownership interests of each of the Company Subsidiaries, free and clear of any liens, claims, title defects, mortgages, pledges, charges, encumbrances and security interests whatsoever (“Liens”), and all of such shares or equity ownership interests are duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable (except, with respect to Subsidiaries that are depository institutions, as provided under any provision of applicable state law comparable to 12 U.S.C. § 55) and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof. Other than the shares of capital stock or other equity ownership interests described in the previous sentence, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, stock appreciation rights, phantom units, scrip, rights to subscribe to, preemptive rights, anti-dilutive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights, puts, calls, commitments or agreements of any character relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of capital stock or other voting or equity securities of or ownership interests in any Company Subsidiary, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which any Company Subsidiary may become bound to issue additional shares of its capital stock or other equity or voting securities or ownership interests in such Company Subsidiary, or otherwise obligating Company or any Company Subsidiary to issue, transfer, sell, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing (collectively, “Company Subsidiary Securities”).

(c) Section 3.02(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, for each Company Restricted Stock Award as of the date hereof, the holder, grant date, number of shares and vesting schedule. Within five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Company will provide Parent with a revised version of Section 3.02(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, updated as of the most recent practicable date. Each Company Restricted Stock Award has been granted in compliance with applicable securities laws or exemptions therefrom and all requirements set forth in the applicable Company Stock Plan and other applicable contracts.

Section 3.03. Authority; No Violation.

(a) Each of Company and Company Subsidiary Bank has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and, subject to receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger have been duly and validly approved by the Board of Directors of each of Company and Company Subsidiary Bank, and the consummation of the Company Articles Amendment has been duly and validly approved by the Board of Directors of Company. The Board of Directors of Company, acting with the approval of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the number of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, has determined that the Merger, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, is advisable and in the best interests of Company and its shareholders, has adopted and approved the Company Articles Amendment and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger and the Company Articles Amendment), and has directed that this Agreement (including the Plan of Merger) and the Company Articles Amendment be submitted to Company’s shareholders for approval at a meeting of such shareholders and has adopted a resolution to the foregoing effect. The Board of Directors of Company Subsidiary Bank has determined that the Merger, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, is advisable and in the best interests of Company Subsidiary Bank and its sole shareholder and has adopted a resolution to the foregoing effect. Company, as Company Subsidiary Bank’s sole shareholder, has approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by written consent. Except for the approval of this Agreement and the Company Articles Amendment by the affirmative vote of the holders of more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote on this Agreement and on the Company Articles Amendment at a meeting called therefor (the “Requisite Company Vote”), no other corporate proceedings on the part of Company or Company Subsidiary Bank are necessary to approve this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger and the Company Articles Amendment). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of Company and Company Subsidiary Bank and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of Company and Company Subsidiary Bank, enforceable against each of Company and Company Subsidiary Bank in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws of general applicability affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies (the “Enforceability Exceptions”)).

(b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Company or Company Subsidiary Bank nor the consummation by Company or Company Subsidiary Bank of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger and the Company Articles Amendment), nor compliance by Company or Company Subsidiary Bank with any of the terms or provisions hereof, will (i) violate any provision of the Company Articles, the Company Bylaws, the Company Subsidiary Bank Articles or the Company Subsidiary Bank Bylaws or the articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of any other Company Subsidiary or (ii) assuming that the consents and approvals referred to in Section 3.04 are duly obtained, (x) violate any law, statute, code, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, decree or injunction applicable to Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets or (y) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, result in the termination of or a right of termination or cancellation under, accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the respective properties or assets of Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or by which they or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound, except (in the case of clauses (x) and (y) above) for such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Company.

Section 3.04. Consents and Approvals. Except for (a) the filing of any required applications, filings and notices, as applicable, with NASDAQ, (b) the filing of any required applications, filings and notices, or the seeking of waivers therefrom as applicable, with (i) the FDIC under 12 U.S.C. 1828(c) (the “Bank Merger Act”), (ii) the Bureau of Financial Institutions (the “BFI”) of the VSCC, (iii) the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) under the National Bank Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of Company, there is no reason why the necessary regulatory approvals and consents will not be received by Company to permit consummation of the Merger and the Company Articles Amendment on a timely basis.

If at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, any party discovers any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement 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 they were made, not misleading, such party shall promptly notify the other parties and, to the extent required by applicable law, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by Company with the SEC and disseminated by Company to its shareholders. Parent shall also use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Company shall furnish all information concerning Company and the holders of Company Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action, which information may be based on Company’s knowledge of and access to the information requested and advice of counsel with respect to such permits and approvals.

In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, orders, approvals, waivers, non-objections and authorizations of, and the filing of notices to, all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated herein, and each party shall consult with the other in advance of any meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences, in each case subject to applicable law; and provided that each party shall promptly advise the other party with respect to substantive matters that are addressed in any meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity which the other party does not attend or participate in, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity and applicable law. The parties’ obligations under this Section 6.01(b) are, in each case, subject to Laws relating to the exchange of information (including with respect to confidential supervisory information) and subject to necessary redactions relating to confidential or sensitive information. As used in this Agreement, the term “Requisite Regulatory Approvals” shall mean all permits, consents, orders, approvals, waivers, non-objections and authorizations (and the expiration or termination of all statutory waiting periods in respect thereof) from (i) the FDIC under the Bank Merger Act, (ii) the OCC under the National Bank Act or the Change in Bank Control Act, (iii) the BFI of the VSCC and (iv) any Governmental Entity set forth in Section 3.04 or Section 4.04 the non-receipt of which would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Surviving Corporation.

(e) Parent and Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained, or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed.

Section 6.02. Access to Information; Confidentiality.

The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Each of Company and Parent shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the other party or any of such party’s Subsidiaries or Representatives pursuant to this Agreement in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the confidentiality agreement, dated January 10, 2025, between Parent and Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(c) No investigation by either of the parties or their respective Representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other set forth herein.

However, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, if the Board of Directors of Company, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that it would more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to make or continue to make the Company Board Recommendation, the Board of Directors of Company may, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, submit this Agreement to its shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions approving this Agreement and the Company Articles Amendment as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event such Board of Directors may communicate the basis for such lack of recommendation to its shareholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by law; provided that such Board of Directors may not take any actions under this sentence unless it (A) gives Parent at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including, in the event such action is taken in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the latest material terms and conditions and the identity of the third party in any such Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment or modification thereof, or describe in reasonable detail such other event or circumstances) and (B) at the end of such notice period, takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent and, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that it would nevertheless more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to make or continue to make the Company Board Recommendation. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.03 and will require a new notice period as referred to in this Section 6.03. Company shall not adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting, except that Company (1) shall be permitted to adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Board of Directors of Company has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is necessary under applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by Company’s shareholders prior to the Company Meeting and (2) shall adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting up to two times, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Requisite Company Vote; provided that, without the prior written consent of Parent, Company shall not adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting under this clause (2) for more than five (5) business days in the case of any individual adjournment or postponement or more than ten (10) business days in the aggregate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of Company at the Company Meeting, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Company of such obligation.

Section 6.04. Legal Conditions to Merger. Subject in all respects to Section 6.01 of this Agreement, each of Parent and Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article 7 hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party that is required to be obtained by Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.05. Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.

Section 6.06. Employee Matters.

(a) For one year after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide to employees of Company and Company Subsidiaries who become employees of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary at the Effective Time (“Company Continuing Employees”) employee benefits on terms and conditions that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and any Parent Subsidiary.

(b) Each Company Continuing Employee whose employment is involuntarily terminated other than for cause on or after the Effective Time but on or before the date that is nine (9) months following the Effective Time, excluding any employee who has a contractual or other legally binding arrangement providing for severance pay, shall be entitled to receive severance in accordance with Section 6.06(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) With respect to any Parent Benefit Plan in which any Company Continuing Employees first become eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) waive all waiting periods and restrictions and exclusions for preexisting conditions and insurability with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees and their eligible dependents under any such Parent Benefit Plans, except to the extent such waiting periods and restrictions and exclusions for preexisting conditions and insurability would apply under the analogous Company Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date; (ii) provide each such Company Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, prior to the time such employee commenced participation in such Parent Benefit Plan) under such Parent Benefit Plan (to the same extent that such credit was given under the analogous Company Benefit Plan) in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any such Parent Benefit Plans; and (iii) recognize service of such employees with Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the same extent that such service was taken into account under the analogous Company Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing service recognition shall not apply to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits for the same period of services or for purposes of benefit accrual, paid time off, any Parent Benefit Plan that provides defined benefit or retiree welfare benefits, or any Parent Benefit Plan that is a frozen plan, either with respect to level of benefits or participation, or provides grandfathered benefits.

(d) If directed in writing by Parent at least ten (10) business days prior to the Effective Time, Company shall terminate any Company Qualified Plan, in each case effective as of, and contingent upon, the Effective Time. In connection with the termination of such Company Qualified Plan, Parent shall permit each affected Company employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, including all participant loans) in an amount equal to the eligible rollover distribution portion of the account balance distributed to each such affected employee from such plan to an “eligible retirement plan” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of Parent or Parent Subsidiaries.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee, officer, director, consultant or other service provider of Company or any Company Subsidiaries or affiliates any right to continue in the employ or service of the Surviving Corporation, Company, Parent or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Surviving Corporation, Company, Parent or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer, director or consultant of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Company Benefit Plan, Parent Benefit Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any particular Employee Benefit Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.11, except as set forth in Section 6.07, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person not a party to this Agreement, including any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of Parent or Company or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(f) Prior to making any written communications to any service provider of Company or any Company Subsidiary pertaining to the treatment of compensation or benefits in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or employment with Parent following the Effective Time, Company or any Company Subsidiary shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, and Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and approve the communication.

Section 6.07. Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless and shall advance expenses as incurred, in each case to the fullest extent (subject to applicable law) permitted by the Company Articles, the Company Bylaws, the governing or organizational documents of any Subsidiary of Company and any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date hereof and disclosed in Section 6.07(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, each present and former director, officer or employee of Company and its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether arising before or after the Effective Time, arising out of, or pertaining to, the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries and pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that in the case of advancement of expenses, any Company Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Company Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Company (provided, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time (including the approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid as of the date hereof by Company for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, Parent or Company, in consultation with, but only upon the consent of Parent, may (and at the request of Parent, Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six (6)-year “tail” policy under Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its assets or deposits to any other person or engages in any similar transaction, then in each such case, the Surviving Corporation will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation will expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.07. The obligations of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Company under this Section 6.07 shall not be terminated or modified after the Effective Time in a manner so as to adversely affect the Company Indemnified Party or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.07 without the prior written consent of the affected Company Indemnified Party or affected person.

Section 6.08. Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement (including any merger between a Subsidiary of Parent, on the one hand, and a Subsidiary of Company, on the other hand) or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take, or cause to be taken, all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by Parent.

Section 6.09. Advice of Changes. Parent and Company shall each promptly advise the other party of any effect, change, event, circumstance, condition, occurrence or development (i) that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on it or (ii) that it believes would or would reasonably be expected to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, obligations, covenants or agreements contained herein that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article 7; provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any breach shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 6.09 or the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or 7.03 to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 or 7.03 to be satisfied; and provided, further, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.09 shall not cure any breach of, or noncompliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

Section 6.10. Dividends. After the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and Company shall coordinate with the other the declaration of any dividends in respect of Parent Common Stock and Company Common Stock and the record dates and payment dates relating thereto, it being the intention of the parties hereto that holders of Company Common Stock shall not receive two dividends, or fail to receive one dividend, in any quarter with respect to their shares of Company Common Stock and any shares of Parent Common Stock any such holder receives in exchange therefor in the Merger.

Section 6.11. Shareholder Litigation. Each party shall give the other party prompt notice of any shareholder litigation against such party or its directors or officers relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate (at Parent’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any such litigation. Each party shall give the other the right to review and comment on all filings or responses to be made by such party in connection with any such litigation, and will in good faith take such comments into account. Company shall not agree to settle any such litigation without Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Parent shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of Parent and its affiliates or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief after the Effective Time upon the Surviving Corporation or any of its affiliates.

Section 6.12. Corporate Governance. At the Effective Time, Parent shall invite each member of the Board of Directors of Company serving immediately prior to the Effective Time to serve as a member of a regional advisory board of directors of Parent in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Membership on a regional advisory board of directors of Parent shall be conditional upon each director of Company executing an agreement, substantially in a form attached as Exhibit C hereto, providing, among other things, that such person will not engage in activities competitive with Parent until the later of the date that is two (2) years following the Effective Time or the date on which he or she ceases to be a member of a regional advisory board of directors of Parent.

Section 6.13. Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Company agrees that it will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or proposals with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations with any person concerning any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, have or participate in any discussions with any person relating to any Acquisition Proposal (except to notify a person that has made or, to the knowledge of Company, is making any inquiries with respect to, or is considering making, an Acquisition Proposal, of the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.13(a)) or (iv) unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, approve or enter into any term sheet, letter of intent, commitment, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other similar agreement (whether written or oral, binding or nonbinding) (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to and entered into in accordance with this Section 6.13) in connection with or relating to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, Company receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from or arise in connection with a breach of this Section 6.13(a), Company may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished confidential or nonpublic information or data and participate in such negotiations or discussions with the person making the Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors of Company concludes in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that failure to take such actions would be more likely than not to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, that, prior to furnishing any confidential or nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to this sentence, Company shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the person making such Acquisition Proposal on terms no less favorable to it than the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with such party. Company will, and will cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any person other than Parent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Company will promptly (within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Parent following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and the substance thereof (including the terms and conditions of and the identity of the person making such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal), will provide Parent with an unredacted copy of any such Acquisition Proposal and any draft agreements, proposals or other materials received in connection with any such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal, and will keep Parent apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations on a current basis, including any amendments to or revisions of the terms of such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal. Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any existing confidentiality or standstill agreements to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in accordance with the terms thereof. As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any offer, proposal or inquiry relating to, or any third-party indication of interest in, (i) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated assets of Company and its Subsidiaries or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated assets of Company, (ii) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third party beneficially owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated assets of Company, or (iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the issuance, acquisition or conversion of, or the disposition of, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the consolidated assets of Company.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Company or its Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, that such rules will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such rules would otherwise have under this Agreement.

Section 6.14. Public Announcements. Company, Company Subsidiary Bank and Parent agree that the initial press release with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a release mutually agreed to by the parties. Thereafter, each of the parties agrees that no public release or announcement or statement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (i) as required by applicable law or the rules or regulations of any applicable Governmental Entity or stock exchange to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance or (ii) for such releases, announcements or statements that are consistent with other such releases, announcement or statements made after the date of this Agreement in compliance with this Section 6.14.

Section 6.15. Change of Method. Company and Parent shall be empowered, upon their mutual agreement, at any time prior to the Effective Time, to change the method or structure of effecting the combination of Company, Company Subsidiary Bank and Parent (including the provisions of Article 1), if and to the extent Company and Parent both deem such change to be necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided that unless this Agreement is amended by agreement of each party in accordance with Section 9.01, no such change shall (i) alter or change the Merger Consideration provided for in this Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of Company’s or Parent’s shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of Company or Parent 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 9.01.

Section 6.16. Takeover Statutes. Parent, Company, Company Subsidiary Bank and their respective Boards of Directors shall not take any action that would cause any Takeover Statute to become applicable to this Agreement, the Merger, or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and shall take all necessary steps to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby from any applicable Takeover Statute now or hereafter in effect. If any Takeover Statute may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each party and the members of its Board of Directors will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Statute on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, if necessary, challenging the validity or applicability of any such Takeover Statute.

Section 6.17. Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). Company and Parent agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain Company Insiders, both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that Company Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in connection with the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock or shares underlying Company Restricted Stock Awards into shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger, and for that compensatory and retentive purposes agree to the provisions of this Section 6.17. Company shall deliver to Parent in a reasonably timely fashion prior to the Effective Time accurate information regarding those officers and directors of Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (the “Company Insiders”), and the Board of Directors of Parent and of Company, or a committee of non-employee directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall reasonably promptly thereafter, and in any event prior to the Effective Time, take all such steps as may be required to cause (in the case of Company) any dispositions of Company Common Stock or Company Restricted Stock Awards by the Company Insiders, and (in the case of Parent) any acquisitions of Parent Common Stock or Parent Equity Awards by any Company Insiders who, immediately following the Merger, will be officers or directors of the Surviving Corporation subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, in each case pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to be exempt from liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 6.18. Tax Cooperation. Parent and Company shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts in order for (i) Parent to receive the opinion described in Section 7.02(c) and (ii) Company to receive the opinion described in Section 7.03(c).

Section 6.19. Assumption of Debt Obligations. At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on Company’s 3.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due July 15, 2031, and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions thereof on the part of Company to be performed or observed.

Section 6.20. Commitments to the Community. Following the Effective Time, Parent will maintain similar levels of community involvement to those maintained by Parent and Company in their respective communities prior to the Effective Time.

Company shall have received the opinion of Troutman Pepper Locke LLP (or, if Troutman Pepper Locke LLP is unwilling or unable to issue the opinion, a written opinion of another nationally recognized law firm), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Company, dated as of the Closing Date, to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion, the Company Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In rendering such opinion, counsel may require and rely upon representations contained in certificates of officers of Parent and Company, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such counsel.

Article 8
Termination and Amendment

Section 8.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Requisite Company Vote:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and Company;

(b) by either Parent or Company if any Governmental Entity that must grant a Requisite Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the Merger and such denial has become final and nonappealable, or any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint or prohibition permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Merger, unless, in any such case, the failure to obtain a Requisite Regulatory Approval shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the obligations, covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(c) by either Parent or Company if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before April 2, 2026 (the “Termination Date”), unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the obligations, covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(d) by either Parent or Company (provided, that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, obligation, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a breach of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties (or any such representation or warranty shall cease to be true) set forth in this Agreement on the part of Company, in the case of a termination by Parent, or Parent, in the case of a termination by Company, which breach or failure to be true, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches by such party (or failures of such representations or warranties to be true), would constitute, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02, in the case of a termination by Parent, or Section 7.03, in the case of a termination by Company, and which is not cured within forty-five (45) days following written notice to Company, in the case of a termination by Parent, or Parent, in the case of a termination by Company, or by its nature or timing cannot be cured during such period (or such fewer days as remain prior to the Termination Date);

(e) by Parent, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, if (i) Company or the Board of Directors of Company shall have made a Recommendation Change or (ii) Company or the Board of Directors of Company shall have breached its obligations under Section 6.03 or Section 6.13 in any material respect; or

(f) by either Parent or Company, if the Requisite Company Vote shall not have been obtained upon a vote thereon taken at the Company Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof).

Section 8.02. Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or Company as provided in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Parent, Company, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) Section 6.02(b) (Confidentiality), Section 6.14 (Public Announcements), this Section 8.02 and Article 9 (but, in the case of Section 9.12, only in respect of covenants that survive termination) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Parent nor Company or Company Subsidiary Bank shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement (including, in the case of Company, the loss of the premium offered to the shareholders of Company).

(b)

(i) In the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been communicated to or otherwise made known to the Board of Directors or senior management of Company or shall have been made directly to the shareholders of Company or any person shall have publicly announced (and not withdrawn at least two (2) business days prior to the Company Meeting) an Acquisition Proposal, in each case with respect to Company and (A) (x) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or Company pursuant to Section 8.01(c) without the Requisite Company Vote having been obtained (and all other conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.03 were satisfied or were capable of being satisfied prior to such termination), (y) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(d) as a result of a willful breach or (z) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or Company pursuant to Section 8.01(f), and (B) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, Company enters into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as that referred to above), then Company shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such definitive agreement and the date of consummation of such transaction, pay Parent, by wire transfer of same-day funds, a fee equal to $8,200,000 (the “Termination Fee”); provided, that for purposes of this Section 8.02(b)(i), all references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to “twenty-five percent (25%)” shall instead refer to “fifty percent (50%).”

(ii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by (x) Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(e) or (y) either Parent or Company pursuant to Section 8.01(f) and at such time Parent could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e), then Company shall pay Parent, by wire transfer of same-day funds, the Termination Fee within two (2) business days of the date of termination.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but without limiting the right of any party to recover liabilities or damages to the extent permitted herein, in no event shall Company be required to pay the Termination Fee more than once.

(d) Company and Company Subsidiary Bank acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Company fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.02, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit which results in a judgment against Company for the Termination Fee or any portion thereof, such non-paying party shall pay the costs and expenses of Parent (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. In addition, if Company fails to pay the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.02, then Company shall pay interest on such overdue amounts at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” published in the Wall Street Journal on the date on which such payment was required to be made for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full.

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This Support Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 2, 2025, is entered into by and between TowneBank, a Virginia banking corporation (“Parent”), and the undersigned shareholder (the “Shareholder”) of Old Point Financial Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Company”).

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among Parent, Company and The Old Point National Bank of Phoebus, a nationally chartered banking association and wholly owned subsidiary of Company (“Company Subsidiary Bank”), (i) Company will be merged with and into Parent and (ii) immediately thereafter and contemporaneously therewith, Company Subsidiary Bank will be merged with and into Parent (clauses (i) and (ii), together, the “Merger”), with Parent as the surviving corporation in the Merger;

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Shareholder owns beneficially or of record, and has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of, the shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of Company (the “Common Stock”) as set forth on Schedule A hereto (all such shares, the “Existing Shares”), and owns beneficially or of record, and has the shared power to vote or direct the voting of, the shares of Common Stock as set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Additional Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of Company and Company Subsidiary Bank has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and the Company Articles Amendment, are in the best interests of Company and Company Subsidiary Bank and their respective shareholders, and declared that the Merger Agreement is advisable, and (ii) adopted the Merger Agreement and the Company Articles Amendment and approved the execution, delivery and performance by Company of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and the Company Articles Amendment; and

WHEREAS, the Shareholder is supportive of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and the Company Articles Amendment, and has determined that it is in his, her or its best interests to enter into this Agreement to provide for his, her or its support for the Merger Agreement and such transactions, and this Agreement is further a condition and inducement for Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Merger Agreement.

Effectiveness; Termination. This Agreement shall be effective upon signing. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and be null and void and of no effect upon the earlier to occur of the following: (a) termination of the Merger Agreement for any reason in accordance with its terms or (b) the Effective Time; provided that (i) this Section 2 and Sections 12 through 19 hereof shall survive any such termination and (ii) such termination shall not relieve any party of any liability or damages resulting from any willful or material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth herein.

Support Agreement. From the date hereof until the earlier of (a) the Closing or (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Support Period”), the Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally hereby agrees that at any meeting (whether annual or special and each postponement, recess, adjournment or continuation thereof) of Company’s shareholders, however called, and in connection with any written consent of Company’s shareholders, the Shareholder shall (i) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Shareholder’s Existing Shares and all other shares of Common Stock or voting securities over which the Shareholder has acquired, after the date hereof, beneficial or record ownership and the sole power to vote or direct the voting thereof (including any such shares of Common Stock acquired by means of purchase, dividend or distribution, or issued upon the exercise of any stock options to acquire Common Stock, vesting of any Company Restricted Stock Awards or the conversion of any convertible securities, or pursuant to any other equity awards or derivative securities or otherwise) (together with the Existing Shares, but subject to the exclusion set forth in the final sentence of this Section 3, the “Shares”), as of the applicable record date, to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum, and (ii) vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) all such Shares (A) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Company Articles Amendment, (B) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of Company’s shareholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement or the Company Articles Amendment, (C) against any Acquisition Proposal, and (D) against any action, proposal, transaction, agreement or amendment of the Company Articles or Company Bylaws, in each case of this clause (D), which would reasonably be expected to (1) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement or (2) prevent, impede, delay, interfere with, postpone, discourage or frustrate the purposes of or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger and the Company Articles Amendment. The Shareholder agrees to exercise all voting or other determination rights the Shareholder has in any trust or other legal entity to carry out the intent and purposes of the Shareholder’s obligations in this paragraph and otherwise set forth in this Agreement. The Shareholder represents, covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, the Shareholder (x) has not entered into, and shall not enter into during the Support Period, any support or voting agreement or voting trust or similar agreement with respect to the Shares that would be inconsistent with the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement and (y) has not granted, and shall not grant during the Support Period, a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to the Shares, except any proxy to carry out the intent of and the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement and any revocable proxy granted to officers or directors of Company at the request of the Company Board of Directors in connection with election of directors or other routine matters at any annual or special meeting of the Company shareholders. The Shareholder represents, covenants and agrees that he, she or it has not entered into and will not enter into any agreement or commitment with any person the effect of which would be inconsistent with or otherwise violate any of the provisions and agreements set forth herein; provided that nothing in this sentence will prohibit any Permitted Transfer. With respect to the Additional Shares and any other shares of Common Stock over which the Shareholder has shared voting power, the Shareholder shall exercise his, her or its individual voting power over such shares, to the extent within his, her or its control, in a manner consistent with the Shareholder’s voting obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Shares, it being understood that the Shareholder shall not have the power to cause other persons to exercise their voting power accordingly. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Shares” shall not include any securities beneficially owned by Shareholder as a trustee or fiduciary for the benefit of a person other than the Shareholder.

Non-Solicitation. The Shareholder hereby agrees, and agrees to cause his, her or its controlled Affiliates (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and his, her or its and their respective Representatives not to, take any action which, were it taken by Company or its Representatives, would violate Section 6.13 of the Merger Agreement, it being understood that any action in compliance with Section 6.13 of the Merger Agreement shall not be deemed a breach by the Shareholder of this Section 4.

Transfer Restrictions Prior to the Merger. The Shareholder hereby agrees that the Shareholder will not, from the date hereof until the earlier of (a) the end of the Support Period and (b) approval of the Merger Agreement and the Company Articles Amendment by the shareholders of Company by the Requisite Company Vote, directly or indirectly, offer for sale, sell, transfer, assign, give, convey, tender in any tender or exchange offer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or dispose of (by merger, by testamentary disposition, by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntarily or involuntarily, enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, hypothecation or other transfer or disposition of, any of the Shares, or any legal or beneficial interest therein, whether or not for value and whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”); provided, that the Shareholder may Transfer Shares (i) to any of its Affiliates, (ii) to any other Person to whom Parent has consented with respect to a Transfer by the Shareholder in advance in writing, (iii) to (A) any Family Member (as defined below) of the Shareholder or to a trust solely for the benefit of the Shareholder and/or any Family Member of the Shareholder or (B) upon the death of the Shareholder pursuant to the terms of any trust or will of the Shareholder or by the applicable laws of intestate succession; provided that (x) in the case of clause (i), such Affiliate shall remain an Affiliate of the Shareholder at all times following such Transfer and (y) in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), so long as the transferee, prior to the date of Transfer, agrees in a signed writing to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Shares, and the Shareholder provides at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice (or in the case of a Transfer pursuant to clause (iii)(B), as promptly as reasonably practicable after such Transfer) (which shall include the written consent of the transferee in form reasonably acceptable to Parent agreeing to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Agreement) to Parent, in which case the Shareholder (except in the case of the Shareholder’s death) shall remain responsible for any breach of this Agreement by such transferee and (iv) to the extent set forth on Schedule B hereto (any Transfer permitted in accordance with this Section 5, a “Permitted Transfer”). In the event of any Transfer that would qualify as a Permitted Transfer under more than one of clauses (i) through (iv), the Shareholder may elect the clause to which such Transfer is subject for purposes of complying with this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Family Member” means (I) Shareholder and Shareholder’s spouse, individually, (II) any descendant, niece or nephew of Shareholder or Shareholder’s spouse, (III) any charitable organization created and primarily funded by any one or more individuals described in the foregoing (I) or (II), (IV) any estate, trust, guardianship, custodianship or other fiduciary arrangement for the primary benefit of any one or more individuals or organizations described in the foregoing (I), (II) or (III), and (V) any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business organization controlled by and substantially all of the interests in which are owned, directly or indirectly, by any one or more individuals or organizations named or described in the foregoing (I), (II), (III) or (IV). With respect to the Additional Shares and any other shares of Common Stock over which the Shareholder has shared disposition power, the Shareholder agrees to exercise Shareholder’s individual disposition power over such shares, to the extent within his, her or its control, in a manner consistent with the Shareholder’s restrictions on Transfer under this Agreement with respect to the Shares, it being understood that the Shareholder shall not have the power to cause other persons to restrict their disposition power accordingly.¹

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 3, 2025, by and among Parent, Company and Company Subsidiary Bank (the “Agreement”), at the Effective Time (as defined herein), Company and Company Subsidiary Bank shall be merged with and into Parent (the “Merger”) in accordance with the provisions of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”) and applicable law, and with the effect set forth in the applicable provisions of the VSCA, Section 6.2-822.C of the Code of Virginia and applicable law. The separate corporate existence of Company and Company Subsidiary Bank thereupon shall cease, and Parent shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (hereinafter sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger shall become effective on such date and time as specified in the filed articles of merger meeting the requirements of Section 13.1-720 of the VSCA, including the Plan of Merger, with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (“VSCC”) or at such later time as shall be provided by applicable law (the “Effective Time”).

Article 2
Merger Consideration; Exchange Procedures

2.1 Conversion of Company Common Stock.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Company or Company Subsidiary Bank or their respective shareholders:

(a) Subject to Section 2.4, Section 2.5 and Section 2.7(e), each share of the common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Common Stock”), except for shares of Company Common Stock owned by Company (in each case other than shares of Company Common Stock (x) held in trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties or (y) held, directly or indirectly, by Company in respect of debts previously contracted), shall be converted into the right to receive the following, without interest:

(i) For each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.5 (collectively, the “Cash Election Shares”), an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration (the “Cash Consideration”);

(ii) For each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive Parent Common Stock (a “Stock Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.5 (collectively, the “Stock Election Shares”), a number of shares of common stock, par value $1.667, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined herein) (the “Stock Consideration”); and

(iii) For each share of Company Common Stock other than shares as to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.5 (collectively the “Non-Election Shares”), the right to receive such Stock Consideration or Cash Consideration as is determined in accordance with Section 2.4.

(b) For purposes of this Plan of Merger, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) The “Exchange Ratio” means 1.14.

(ii) The “Merger Consideration” means the Cash Consideration and/or Stock Consideration described in Section 2.1(a), as applicable.

(iii) The “Per Share Cash Consideration” means $41.00.

(c) All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate (each, an “Old Certificate,” it being understood that any reference herein to “Old Certificate” shall be deemed to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock) previously representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) the Cash Consideration and/or the Stock Consideration which the holder thereof shall have become entitled to receive in accordance with, and subject to, Section 2.1(a), (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder thereof shall have become entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.7(e) and (iii) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof shall have become entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.7(b), in each case, without any interest thereon. If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Merger Consideration to give Parent and the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Plan of Merger prior to such event; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to permit Company or Parent to take any action with respect to its securities or otherwise that is prohibited by the terms of the Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan of Merger to the contrary, at the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by Company (in each case other than shares of Company Common Stock (i) held in trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties or (ii) held, directly or indirectly, by Company in respect of debts previously contracted) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no Merger Consideration or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

2.2 Company Subsidiary Bank Stock.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Company or Company Subsidiary Bank or their respective shareholders, each share of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of Company Subsidiary Bank, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

2.3 Parent Stock.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Company or Company Subsidiary Bank or their respective shareholders, each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of Parent Common Stock and shall not be affected by the Merger; it being understood that upon the Effective Time, the Parent Common Stock, including the shares issued to former holders of Company Common Stock, shall be the common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.4 Proration.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Plan of Merger, the total number of shares of Company Common Stock (including shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards (as defined herein), but excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 2.1(d)) to be entitled to receive the Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall be equal to (i) no less than the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying (x) 0.5 by (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including for these purposes the shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards, but excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 2.1(d)) (the “Minimum Stock Conversion Number”) and (ii) no more than the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying (x) 0.6 by (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including for these purposes the shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards, but excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 2.1(d)) (the “Maximum Stock Conversion Number”). All other shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (including shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards, but excluding the shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 2.1(d)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

(b) Promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) business days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent (as defined herein) to effect the allocation among holders of Company Common Stock and Company Restricted Stock Awards of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as follows:

(i) If the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock (including shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards) with respect to which Stock Elections shall have been made (the “Stock Election Number”) is no less than the Minimum Stock Conversion Number but no more than the Maximum Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration;

(ii) If the Stock Election Number exceeds the Maximum Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying
(A) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.4(a), whether fractions of Stock Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; and

(iii) If the Stock Election Number is less than the Minimum Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Minimum Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(A) If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and the Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.4(a), whether fractions of Non-Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; or

(B) If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and Cash Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the total number of Non-Election Shares, and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.4(a), whether fractions of Cash Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

2.5 Election Procedures.

Each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Restricted Stock Awards to be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and/or the Stock Consideration in accordance with, and subject to, Section 2.1(a) (a “Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 2 and except as otherwise may be agreed by such Holder and Parent, to submit an election in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) Each Holder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 (herein called an “Election”) (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Holder (or subject to such Company Restricted Stock Awards) with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Stock Election and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Holder (or subject to such Company Restricted Stock Awards) with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Cash Election.

(b) Parent shall prepare a form reasonably acceptable to Company, including appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as prepared by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Form of Election”), so as to permit Holders to exercise their right to make an Election, and shall make such form available to Company for review not less than five (5) business days prior to its first distribution to Holders.

(c) Parent (i) shall initially make available and mail the Form of Election not less than twenty (20) business days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline (as defined herein) to Holders of record as of the business day prior to such mailing date, and (ii) following such mailing date, shall use all reasonable efforts to make available as promptly as possible a Form of Election to any shareholder or holder of Company Restricted Stock Awards who requests such Form of Election prior to the Election Deadline. The time period between such mailing date and the Election Deadline is referred to herein as the “Election Period”.

(d) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, during the Election Period, a Form of Election properly completed and signed (including duly executed transmittal materials included in the Form of Election) and accompanied by any Old Certificates representing all certificated shares to which such Form of Election relates or by an appropriate customary guarantee of delivery of such Old Certificates, as set forth in such Form of Election, from a member of any registered national securities exchange or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States. As used herein, unless otherwise agreed in advance by the parties, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. local time (in the city in which the principal office of the Exchange Agent is located) on the date which the parties shall agree is as near as practicable to two (2) business days preceding the closing date of the Merger. The parties shall cooperate to issue a press release reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the date of the Election Deadline not more than fifteen (15) business days prior to, and at least five (5) business days prior to, the Election Deadline.

(f) Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his or her Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of his or her Old Certificates, or of the guarantee of delivery of such Old Certificates, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent. All Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the parties that this Plan of Merger has been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

(g) Subject to the terms of this Plan of Merger and the Form of Election, Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable, good-faith discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan of Merger, governing the validity of the Forms of Election and compliance by any Holder with the Election procedures set forth herein.

2.6 Parent to Make Consideration Available.

At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with this Article 2 for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates, (a) evidence in book-entry form representing shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Stock Consideration to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and (b) cash in an amount sufficient to pay (i) the aggregate Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and (ii) cash in lieu of any fractional shares to be paid pursuant to Section 2.7(e) (such cash and shares of Parent Common Stock described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto payable in accordance with Section 2.7(b), being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, and provided further that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Old Certificates. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

2.7 Exchange Procedures.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than five (5) business days thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time that have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and that has not theretofore submitted its Old Certificates with a Form of Election, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for the Stock Consideration and/or the Cash Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Plan of Merger, as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant to Section 2.7(b) (such materials and instructions to include customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to book-entry shares). From and after the Effective Time and the completion of the allocation procedure set forth in Section 2.4, upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Old Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent (it being understood that no certificates shall be required to be delivered for shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry at the Effective Time), together with such properly completed letter of transmittal or Form of Election, as applicable, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (x) (i) that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock representing the Stock Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(a) and (ii) a check or other method of cash payment representing the amount of (A) the Cash Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(a), (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7(e) and (C) any dividends or distributions which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to Section 2.7(b), and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Stock Consideration, the Cash Consideration or any cash in lieu of fractional shares or dividends or distributions payable to holders of Old Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by Section 2.5 and this Section 2.7, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the applicable Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Section 2.7.

(c) If any share of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes (as defined in the Agreement) required by reason of the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each former holder of Company Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing-sale prices of Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the consecutive period of five (5) full trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the closing date of the Merger (or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually agreed upon by Parent and Company) by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest one-thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a). The parties acknowledge that payment of such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Company for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation. Any former holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the applicable Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each former share of Company Common Stock such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Plan of Merger, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by former holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity (as defined in the Agreement) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

(g) The Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from the applicable Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, cash dividends or distributions payable pursuant to this Section 2.7 or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Plan of Merger to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Restricted Stock Awards, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or distribution under the Code (as defined in the Agreement) or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Plan of Merger as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock or Company Restricted Stock Awards in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

2.8 Treatment of Company Restricted Stock Awards.

At the Effective Time, each restricted share of Company Common Stock granted under the Old Point Financial Corporation 2016 Incentive Stock Plan (each such share, a “Company Restricted Stock Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, shall fully vest and shall have the treatment set forth in Section 2.1(a) applicable to shares of Company Common Stock.

Article 3
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Parent

At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Parent, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.

At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Parent, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.

Article 4
Conditions Precedent

The obligations of Parent, Company and Company Subsidiary Bank to effect the Merger as herein provided shall be subject to satisfaction, unless duly waived, of the conditions set forth in the Agreement.

Article 5
Amendment

Subject to compliance with applicable law and the terms and conditions of the Agreement, this Plan of Merger may be amended by the Board of Directors of Parent and Company at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Company Requisite Vote (as defined in the Agreement); provided, however, that after the Company Requisite Vote (as defined in the Agreement) has been obtained, there may not be, without further approval of the holders of Company Common Stock, an amendment to this Plan of Merger that requires further approval of such shareholders under applicable law.

Article 6
Abandonment

At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Merger may be abandoned, subject to the terms of the Agreement, without further shareholder action in the manner determined by the Board of Directors of Parent and Company. Written notice of such abandonment shall be filed with the VSCC prior to the Effective Time.
