Defined Terms:
A. “Cause” means any one of the following events: (1) an act of fraud, theft or dishonesty by Founder; (2) a material violation of Company’s published or announced policies and procedures in effect from time to time or their habitual violation, whether or not any single act is itself a “material violation,” following written notice of such failures to Founder and his failure to rectify the same within the longer of thirty (30) calendar days thereafter or any stated cure period; or (3) continued and material failure to perform those duties consistent with the Founder’s position with the Company or as may be reasonably assigned to him by the Company’s Board of Directors, following written notice of such failures to Founder and his failure to rectify the same within the longer of thirty (30) calendar days thereafter or any stated cure period.

E. “Founders Group” means, with respect to a Founder’s right to purchase any other Founder’s vested or unvested shares in connection with a right of first refusal, right of first offer, or similar purchase opportunity, all those Founders whose employment or other service with the Company has not been terminated and who have not failed to purchase all of the shares subject to such right, as determined from time to time.
Agreement:
In consideration of the foregoing the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Number of Shares and Price Per Share. In consideration of services rendered by the Founder to the Company to date and the assignment (as evidenced and effected by the Founder’s signature to this Agreement) to the Company of all of the Founder’s right title and interest in and to applications to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Company agrees to issue to the Founder 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Stock”) at a purchase price of $200,000.00. The closing of such purchase shall occur immediately upon execution of this Agreement.
2. Unvested Share Repurchase Option. The Founder hereby grants to (i) each other person that is in the Founders Group, as determined from time to time, and (ii) the Company, the irrevocable right and option (the “Unvested Share Repurchase Option”) to acquire any shares purchased by the Founder pursuant to this Agreement which have not vested in the Founder pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(f) (the “Unvested Shares”) under the terms set forth in this Section 2.
(a) Vesting of Shares. The Initial Vesting Date shall be the Effective Date. The shares of Stock purchased by the Founder will vest (the “Vested Shares”) on and after the Initial Vesting Date in accordance with the provisions set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Stock that become Vested Shares as set forth above, share amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(b) Exercise of Unvested Share Repurchase Option. If the Founder’s service with the Company is terminated for any reason, or if the Founder or the Founder’s legal representative attempts to dispose of any Unvested Shares other than as allowed in this Agreement, the Founders Group and the Company, collectively, may exercise the Unvested Share Repurchase Option by written notice to the Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 7) and to the Founder or the Founder’s legal representative within forty five (45) calendar days after such termination or after the Founders Group and the Company have received notice of the attempted disposition of any of the Unvested Shares other than as allowed in this Agreement. Initially, the Founders Group (pro rata among themselves) and the Company shall each have the right to acquire fifty percent (50%) of the Unvested Shares. If the Company does not desire to purchase its fifty percent (50%) of the Unvested Shares, all of such Unvested Shares shall be offered to the Founders Group (to be purchased pro rata among themselves). If, collectively, Company and the Founders Group do not acquire all of the Unvested Shares, then they shall acquire none of the Unvested Shares. Unvested Shares not acquired hereunder shall be forfeited by the Founder and shall revert to the Company as authorized but unissued shares. Unvested Shares acquired pursuant to this Section 2 shall immediately become Vested Shares in the hands of members of the Founders Group.
2 |
(c) Payment for Shares and Return of Shares. Payment to the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Founder or the Founder’s legal representative shall be made in cash within seventy five (75) calendar days after the date of the mailing of the written notice of exercise of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option. The Re-Purchase Price per share shall be the purchase price per share paid by the Founder pursuant to Section 1 above, adjusted appropriately to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, etc. Within thirty (30) calendar days after payment, the Escrow Agent shall deliver certificates representing the shares so purchased to individuals in the Founders Group and the Company, as appropriate, and shall give the payment received in respect thereof to the Founder or the Founder’s legal representative.
(d) Early Termination of Unvested Share Repurchase Option. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2, the Unvested Share Repurchase Option shall terminate (and the Unvested Shares shall no longer be subject to repurchase) upon the occurrence of a Transfer of Control.
(e) Certain Transfers Not Subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option. The Unvested Share Repurchase Option shall not apply to a transfer of Unvested Shares to the Founder’s ancestors, descendants or spouse or to a trustee or family partnership for their benefit or the benefit of the Founder, provided that such transferee shall agree in writing (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to take and hold the shares of the Stock subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement including without limitation this Section 2 and Section 3 below, as well as all of the terms, conditions and other provisions set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and to execute an irrevocable power of attorney and stock transfer related thereto.
(f) Accelerated Vesting upon Certain Events. All Unvested Shares shall vest in Founder immediately, and no longer be subject to the Repurchase Option, upon the earlier to occur of: (i) Founder’s death or Disability, or (ii) immediately prior to a Transfer of Control.
(g) Restrictions on Sales and Transfers of Unvested Shares. Except for transfers of Unvested Shares as expressly contemplated by and in compliance with Section 2(e) above, Founder may not sell, convey, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any or all Unvested Shares, as determined from time to time.
3. Right of First Offer/Refusal. Before any Vested Shares registered in the name of Founder may be sold or transferred (including transfer by operation of law but excluding any transfer to Founder’s spouse, descendants or ancestors or to any trust or family partnership established for Founder or any such family members benefit), such Vested Shares shall be offered at a price and on terms specified in writing by the selling Founder (the “Selling Founder”) to the Company and to the Founders Group, fifty percent (50%) as to each, who will collectively have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Vested Shares proposed to be transferred in the manner set forth in the relevant provisions of the remainder of this Section 3 (such Vested Shares being referred to herein as the “ROFO/R Shares”).
3 |
(a) Transfer Notice. The Founder or his or legal representative shall first give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) of any proposed transfer to the Company and the Founders Group. The Transfer Notice shall state the number of ROFO/R Shares to be transferred, the price per share, and all other terms of the offer. If an unaffiliated third party has made an offer to purchase ROFO/R Shares that the Selling Founder is desirous of accepting, the Transfer Notice shall also state the identity of the unaffiliated third party, all other particulars of the offer, and a sworn statement by the Selling Founder that he desires to accept such third party offer.
(b) Exercise. The Right of First Offer/Refusal shall be exercised, if at all, by the Company and the Founders Group within thirty (30) calendar days from the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company and the Founders Group, by delivery of written notice to the Selling Founder of written notice of the exercise in full of the Right of First Offer/Refusal. Initially, the Founders Group (pro rata among themselves) and the Company shall each have the right to acquire fifty percent (50%) of the ROFO/R Shares. If the Company does not desire to purchase its fifty percent (50%) of the ROFO/R Shares, all of such ROFO/R Shares shall be offered to the Founders Group (to be purchased pro rata among themselves). If the Founders Group does not desire to purchase its fifty percent (50%) of the ROFO/R Shares, all of such ROFO/R Shares shall be offered to the Company. If, collectively, Company and the Founders Group do not acquire all of the ROFO/R Shares, then they shall acquire none of the ROFO/R Shares. If the Right of First Offer/Refusal is exercised, the parties shall consummate the sale of ROFO/R Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within sixty (60) calendar days after the delivery of the Transfer Notice to the Company; provided, however, in the event the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the ROFO/R Shares other than in cash, the Company and the Founders Group, as appropriate, shall have the option of paying for the shares of Stock by the discounted cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the Company and the Founders Group, as appropriate.
(c) Failure to Exercise. If the Company and the Founders Group elects not to or fails to exercise in full the Right of First Offer/Refusal within thirty (30) calendar days from the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company and the Founders Group with respect to the ROFO/R Shares, the Founder may, by no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the date of the Transfer Notice, conclude a transfer of all, but not less than all, of the ROFO/R Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, and if an unaffiliated third party is named therein, to such third party and to no one else. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Founder, shall again be subject to the Right of First Offer/Refusal and shall require compliance by the Founder with the procedures described in this Section 3. If the Right of First Offer/Refusal is exercised, the parties shall consummate the sale of ROFO/R Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by the later of sixty (60) calendar days after the delivery of the Transfer Notice to the Company; provided, however, in the event the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the ROFO/R Shares other than in cash, the Company and the Founders Group, as appropriate, shall have the option of paying for the shares of Stock by the discounted cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the Company.
(d) Condition to Transfer. All transferees of ROFO/R Shares or any interest therein other than the Company shall be required as a condition of such transfer to agree in writing (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that they will receive and hold such shares of Stock or interests subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including the Right of First Offer/Refusal.
4 |
(e) Termination. The Right of First Refusal will terminate upon any Transfer of Control or upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering to the public of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with net offering proceeds to the Company of at least $10,000,000.
4. Stock Dividends, etc. If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the Company, then in such event any and all new substituted or additional securities to which Founder is entitled by reason of Founders ownership of Unvested Shares or Stock shall be immediately subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option or the Right of First Refusal, respectively, with the same force and effect as the Unvested Shares or Stock.
5. Legends. All certificates representing any shares of Stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement shall have endorsed thereon the following legends:
(a) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A REPURCHASE OPTION SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS COMPANY.
(b) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY AND THE OTHER FOUNDERS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS COMPANY.
(c) THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.
(d) Any legend required to be placed thereon by the state securities authorities.
6. Representations and Warranties. In connection with the proposed purchase of the Stock, the Founder hereby agrees, represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Founder is purchasing the Stock solely for his own account for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Act”). The Founder further represents that he does not have any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Stock or any portion thereof; and that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Stock he is purchasing is being purchased for, and will be held for the account of, the Founder only and neither in whole nor in part for any other person.
5 |
(b) The Founder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Stock. The Founder further represents and warrants that he has discussed the Company and its plans, operations and financial condition with its officers, has received all such information as he deems necessary and appropriate to enable him or to evaluate the financial risk inherent in making an investment in the Stock and has received satisfactory and complete information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to all inquiries in respect thereof.
(c) The Founder realizes that his purchase of the Stock will be a highly speculative investment, and he is able, without impairing his financial condition, to hold the Stock for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss on his investment.
(d) The Company has disclosed to the Founder that:
(i) The sale of the Stock has not been registered under the Act, and the Stock must be held indefinitely unless a transfer of it is subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company is under no obligation to register the Stock;
(ii) The Company will make a notation in its records of the aforementioned restrictions on transfer and legends.
7. Escrow. As security for his faithful performance of the terms of this Agreement and to ensure the availability for delivery of the Stock upon exercise of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option and the Right of First Refusal herein provided for, the Founder agrees to deliver to and deposit with Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP (the “Escrow Agent”), as Escrow Agent in this transaction, two Stock Assignments duly endorsed (with date and number of shares blank) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B together with the certificate or certificates evidencing the Stock. Such documents shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and the Founder set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, which instructions shall also be delivered to the Escrow Agent at the closing hereunder.
8. Transfers in Violation of Agreement. The Company shall not be required: (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Stock of the Company which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred.
9. Rights as Shareholder. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Founder shall exercise all rights and privileges of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Stock deposited in escrow; provided, however, that the Founder shall not be entitled to cast any vote with respect to Stock for which the Performance Thresholds set forth in Exhibit A have not been satisfied.
10. Further Instruments. The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
6 |
11. Notice. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail with postage and fees prepaid, or upon delivery to an overnight courier service addressed to the other party at the address hereinafter shown below his signature or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) calendar days advance written notice to the other party.
12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each party, including, without limitation, in the case of the Founder, Founders heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
13. Governing Law; Entire Agreement: Amendments. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, shall be construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (as it applies to agreements between Virginia residents, entered into and to be performed entirely within Virginia), and constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior written or oral agreements (including without limitation the Amended and Restated Founder Stock Purchase Agreement), and no amendment or addition hereto shall be deemed effective unless agreed to in writing by the parties.
14. Right to Specific Performance. The Founder agrees that the Company shall be entitled to a decree of specific performance of the terms hereof or an injunction restraining violation of this Agreement, said right to be in addition to any other remedies available to the Company.
15. Separability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way and shall be construed in accordance with the purposes and tenor and effect of this Agreement.
16. Tax Consequences and Tax Election Notification.
(a) The Founder understands that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the Stock and the fair market value of the Stock as of the date any restrictions on the Stock lapse. In this context, restriction means the right of the Company to buy back the stock pursuant to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option. The Founder understands that he may elect to be taxed at the time the Stock is purchased rather than when and as the Unvested Share Repurchase Option expires by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of purchase. Even if the fair market value of the Stock equals the amount paid for the Stock, the election must be made to avoid adverse tax consequences in the future. The Founder understands that failure to make this filing timely will result in the recognition of ordinary income by the Founder, as the Unvested Share Repurchase Option lapses, on the difference between the purchase price and the fair market value of the Stock at the time such restriction lapses.
(b) The Founder understands that the Stock has been valued by the Board of Directors and that the Company believes this valuation is a fair attempt to appraise it. The Founder understands, however, that if the Founder files a Section 83(b) election, the Company can give no assurances that the purchase price will be accepted as the fair market value of the Stock by the IRS, and that the IRS could assert that the value of the Stock on the date of purchase was substantially greater than the purchase price.
7 |
If the IRS were to successfully argue in a tax determination that the Stock had value greater than the price paid by the Founder, and the Founder has filed a Section 83(b) election, the additional value would constitute ordinary income as of the date of its receipt. The additional taxes (and interest) due would be payable by the Founder. There is no provision for the Company to reimburse the Founder for any potential tax liability, and the Founder assumes all responsibility for it. If the additional value attributed to the Stock was more than 25 percent of the Founders gross income for the year in which that value was taxable, the IRS would have six years from the due date for filing the return (or the actual filing date of the return if filed thereafter) within which to assess the additional tax and interest.
THE FOUNDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE FOUNDER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF THE FOUNDER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE FOUNDERS BEHALF.
(c) The Founder shall notify the Company in writing if Founder files an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. The Company intends, in the event it does not receive from Founder evidence of such filing, to claim a tax deduction for any amount which would be taxable to Founder in the absence of such an election.
17. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate, and neither the Company nor the Founder shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, upon the first to occur of the following:
(a) All of the Stock shall have become either Vested Shares or shall have been forfeited, and the Right of First Offer/Refusal shall have terminated pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof;
(b) The Founder shall cease to own any of the Stock; or
(c) December 31, 2034.
Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement, material misrepresentation or fraud.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

** Performance Thresholds will be satisfied only if the Company achieves the applicable asset-size, subject to adjustment using the relevant % Weighted Average Performance Measure ("WAPM") achieved by the Company.

For example, if a subsequent acquisition satisfies the >$1B threshold, the >$500 mm threshhold would also be deemed to have been satisfied. Shares for which an Asset Size Threshold has been satisfied remain subject to calculation of the Weighted Average Performance Measure and time vesting. Shares in any column for which the relevant Asset-Size Threshold is not achieved by October 6, 2016, or any portion of shares corresponding to Performance Measures that are not achieved within the applicable prior or subsequent period, will be forfeited and relinquished to the Company. Asset-size thresholds will be based on GAAP and Performance Measures will be based on FDIC reports.

Exhibit A (continued)
TABLE 2
SUMMARY OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE PERFORMANCE MEASURE ("WAPM") CALCULATION
Following the closing of the Bank of Virginia transaction, future shares may become eligible for time vesting only if (a) one or more additional Performance Thresholds in Table 1 are achieved and (b) one or more of the Performance Measures in Table 2 are also achieved. In calculating the number of additional shares eligible for time-vesting (corresponding to the cells in Table 1 that include the multiplier "WAPM"), WAPM will be defined as the sum the products of (a) the Company's % level of achievement of each of the five Performance Measures below, multiplied by (b) the corresponding % weighting below. "All or none" measures will be credited at either a 100% or 0% level of achievement. Pro rata measures will be credited at 0% if the minimum is not achieved. In no event will the Weighted Average Performance Measure be greater than 100%.
