9. Conditions to the Obligations of the Company. The obligations of the Company to sell and deliver the portion of the Shares required to be delivered as and when specified in this Agreement are subject to the conditions that at or before 5:00 p.m., on the date of this Agreement, or such later time and date to which the Company and the Underwriter may from time to time consent, the Registration Statement shall have become effective; at the Closing Date, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and be then in effect or proceedings therefor initiated or threatened; and the Escrow Agent shall have tendered to the Company payment for the Shares.

10. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus or in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement based upon information relating to the Underwriter in the last paragraph on the front cover of the Prospectus and in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Underwriting” that was made in reliance upon and conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter expressly for use in connection therewith; provided that the indemnification contained in this paragraph with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Underwriter (or any person controlling the Underwriter) on account of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising from the sale of the Shares by the Underwriter to any person if a copy of the Prospectus shall not have been delivered or sent to such person with or prior to the written confirmation of the sale involved (or any supplement to the Prospectus at the time of such confirmation was not so delivered or sent) and the statement or omission giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense was contained in the preliminary prospectus and corrected in the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto at the time such confirmation was delivered or sent).

(b) If any action or claim shall be brought against the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter, in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company in accordance with Section 10(a) above, the Underwriter shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and payment of all reasonable fees and expenses. The Underwriter or any such person controlling the Underwriter shall have the right to employ separate counsel in

XxXxxxxx & Company

April     , 2004

Page 17

any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Underwriter or such controlling person unless (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Company has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded party) include both the Underwriter or controlling person and the Company and representations of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case, if such Underwriter or controlling person notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Underwriter or such controlling person, it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any such action or separate but substantially related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Underwriter and controlling persons, which firm shall be designated in writing by you). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without the written consent of the Company, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and any such controlling person from and against any loss, liability, damage or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(c) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and any person controlling the Company to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter, but only with respect to information in the last paragraph on the front cover of the Prospectus and in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Underwriting” that was furnished by or on behalf of the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. If any action or claim shall be brought or asserted against the Company, its directors, any such officer or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Underwriter, the Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by Section 10(b) above (except that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof, the Underwriter shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Underwriter), and the Company, its directors, any such officer, any such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriter by Section 10(b) above.

(d) If the indemnification of the Underwriter or the Company provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable as a matter of law to the Underwriter or the Company, as the case may be, in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute

XxXxxxxx & Company

April     , 2004

Page 18

to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, as the case may be, on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the Public Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Public Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, bear to the total underwriting commissions received by the Underwriter as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) and in the section entitled “Underwriting” in the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented). The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the Underwriter on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(d), the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold by it as agent for the Company exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentations.

(e) In any proceeding relating to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment thereto, each party against whom contribution may be sought under this Section 10 hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court having jurisdiction over any other contributing party, agrees that process issuing from such court may be served upon him or it by any other contributing party and consents to the service of such

XxXxxxxx & Company

April     , 2004

Page 19

process and agrees that any other contributing party may join him or it as an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other contributing party is a party.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 10 and the respective agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or the Company or any person controlling the Underwriter, the Company or its directors, officers (or any person controlling the Company), (ii) acceptance of any Shares and payment therefor hereunder and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor of the Underwriter or the Company or its directors or officers referred to above (or of any person controlling the Underwriter or the Company) shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 10.

11. Effective Date of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when signed by the parties to it.

12. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in your sole discretion, without liability on your part, by notice given to the Company, if prior to the Closing Date (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq shall have been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking or thrift activities in Virginia or the United States shall have been declared by either federal or state authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any major outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other international or domestic calamity or crisis or major change in political, financial or economic conditions, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in your reasonable judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Public Offering. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company by telegraph or telephone but shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

13. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, except as otherwise provided herein, will be mailed, delivered or telecopied and confirmed as follows: if to the Underwriter, to XxXxxxxx & Company, Inc., 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx X. XxXxxxxx, Xx.; if to the Company, to Millennium Bankshares Corporation, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

14. Successors. This Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriter, the Company and their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and assigns, and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to herein, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term “successor” shall not include any purchaser of the Shares merely because of such purchase.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without reference to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
