(d) Lost or Destroyed Certificates; Recordation of FCBI Common Stock in New Names. The Exchange Agent and FCBI, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to make a book-entry representing shares of FCBI Common Stock to which a holder of PBV Common Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing the shares of PBV Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 3.02, or, in default thereof, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in an amount as may be reasonably required in each case by FCBI. If any book-entries evidencing shares of FCBI Common Stock are to be made in a name other than that in which the Certificate evidencing PBV Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of a book-entry for shares of FCBI Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Unclaimed Merger Consideration. Any portion of the shares of FCBI Common Stock and cash delivered to the Exchange Agent by FCBI pursuant to Section 3.02(b) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of PBV for six months after the Effective Time (as well as any proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to FCBI. Any shareholders of PBV who have not theretofore complied with Section 3.02(c) shall thereafter look only to FCBI for the consideration deliverable in respect of each share of PBV Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates for shares of PBV Common Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of FCBI Common Stock and cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the property of FCBI (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of stock represented by any Certificate for any consideration paid to a Governmental Authority pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. FCBI and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of PBV to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, FCBI and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

3.03 Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of PBV Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of PBV other than to receive the consideration provided under this Article III. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of PBV or the Surviving Bank of shares of PBV Common Stock.

3.04 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional shares of FCBI Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder of PBV Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of FCBI Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by Thirteen and 25/100 Dollars ($13.25), rounded to the nearest whole cent. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.

3.05 Dissenting Shares. Each outstanding share of PBV Common Stock the holder of which has perfected his, her or its appraisal rights under the VSCA and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such rights as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to the right to receive the fair value of such outstanding share in cash as set forth in the VSCA. PBV shall give FCBI prompt notice upon receipt by PBV of any such written demands for payment of the fair value of such shares of PBV Common Stock and of withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments provided pursuant to the VSCA. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by FCBI. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his, her or its appraisal rights under the VSCA, the Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall be converted into a right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

3.06 Anti-Dilution Provisions. If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the shares of FCBI Common Stock shall be changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, or similar transaction with respect to FCBI Common Stock, or a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date or ex dividend or distribution date within such period, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted accordingly.

3.07 Withholding Rights. FCBI (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of PBV Common Stock such amounts as FCBI is required under the Code or any state, local or foreign tax law or regulation thereunder to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of PBV Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by FCBI.

3.08 PBV Options. At the Effective Time, each PBV Option that is then outstanding and unexercised shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of PBV Common Stock and shall be exchanged for a cash amount equal to the number of shares of PBV Common Stock subject to such PBV Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the difference of Twenty and 26/100 Dollars ($20.26) (the “Option Ratio”) and the per share exercise price, subject to any adjustment contemplated by Section 8.01(h). Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence, each PBV Option which is an “incentive stock option” shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the PBV Option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. FCBI and PBV agree to take all necessary steps to the effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08.

No representation or warranty of PBV, FCBI or FCB contained in Sections 5.03 or 5.04, respectively, shall be deemed to be untrue or incorrect, and no party hereto shall be deemed to have breached a representation or warranty as a consequence of the existence of any fact, event or circumstance, unless such fact, event or circumstance, individually, or taken together with all other facts, events or circumstances inconsistent with any representation or warranty contained in Sections 5.03 or 5.04, has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on such party, other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.03(b), 5.03(g)(iv)(C), 5.03(m)(vi) and 5.03(m)(viii) for PBV and Section 5.04(g)(ii)(C) for FCBI and FCB, which shall be true in all respects.

(d) In addition to the obligations of PBV set forth in Section 6.07(a), PBV shall within one (1) Business Day advise FCBI orally and in writing of its receipt of any Acquisition Proposal (or any inquiry that could reasonably lead to an Acquisition Proposal) and keep FCBI informed, on a current basis, of the continuing status thereof, including the terms and conditions thereof and any changes thereto, and shall contemporaneously provide to FCBI all materials provided to or made available to any third party pursuant to this Section 6.07 that were not previously provided to FCBI.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.10, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party if such failure does not actually prejudice the Indemnifying Party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues that raise conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties that make joint representation inappropriate, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay, promptly as statements therefore are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties (which may not exceed one (1) firm in any jurisdiction unless the Indemnified Parties have conflicts of interest), (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation hereunder in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable laws and regulations.

(c) FCBI shall maintain PBV’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or provide a policy providing comparable coverage and amounts on terms no less favorable to the persons currently covered by PBV’s existing policy, including FCBI’s existing policy if it meets the foregoing standard) covering persons who are currently covered by such insurance for a period of three (3) years after the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall FCBI be obligated to expend, in order to maintain or provide insurance coverage pursuant to this Section 6.10(c), an aggregate amount in excess of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the premium paid by PBV as of the date hereof for such insurance (“Maximum Insurance Amount”); provided, further, that if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Insurance Amount, FCBI shall obtain the most advantageous coverage obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Insurance Amount.

(d) If FCBI or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of FCBI shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

6.11 Benefit Plans.

(a) As soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time, FCBI shall take all reasonable action so that employees of PBV shall be entitled to participate in each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of FCBI of general applicability (the “FCBI Benefit Plans”) to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of FCBI and its Subsidiaries (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of PBV in the FCBI Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans); provided that coverage shall be continued under the corresponding Benefit Plans of PBV (unless terminated prior to the Effective Date or Effective Time) until such employees are permitted to participate in the FCBI Benefit Plans; and provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall require FCBI or any of its Subsidiaries to make any grants to any former employee of PBV under any discretionary equity compensation plan of FCBI. FCBI shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of the relevant plan and applicable law, cause each FCBI Benefit Plan in which employees of PBV are eligible to participate to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in, the vesting of benefits and for all other purposes (but not for accrual of pension benefits) under the FCBI Benefit Plans, the service of such employees with PBV to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by PBV; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits.

(b) Nothing herein shall limit the ability of FCBI to request that PBV amend, freeze or terminate any of PBV’s Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms before the Merger, or to limit the ability of FCBI to amend, freeze or terminate any of PBV’s Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms after the Merger. Upon the request of FCBI, PBV shall use reasonable efforts to amend, freeze or terminate any of PBV’s Benefit Plans prior to the Effective Date or Effective Time, if FCBI determines that such action is necessary or appropriate to the transition of benefits for all employees after consummation of the Transaction.

(c) Subject to Sections 6.11(b), (g) and (h), at and following the Effective Time, FCBI shall honor, and the Surviving Bank shall continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance with their terms, all benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of, current and former employees of PBV and current and former directors of PBV existing as of the Effective Date, as well as all employment, severance, bonus, salary continuation, deferred compensation, split dollar, supplemental retirement or “change-in-control” agreements, plans or policies of PBV to the extent that each of the foregoing is set forth in PBV’s Disclosure Schedule and has not been terminated. The severance or termination payments that are payable pursuant to such agreements, plans or policies of PBV (which have been quantified in reasonable detail) are set forth in Section 6.11(c) of PBV’s Disclosure Schedule.

(d) At such time as employees of PBV become eligible to participate in a medical, dental or health plan of FCBI or its Subsidiaries, FCBI shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of the relevant plan and applicable law, cause each such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable medical, health or dental plans of FCBI, (ii) provide full credit under such plans for any deductibles, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees and their beneficiaries during the portion of the calendar year prior to such participation and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to such employee on or after the Effective Time to the extent such employee had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Plan prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Each of PBV, FCBI and FCB acknowledges and agrees that all provisions contained within this Section 6.11 with respect to employees are included for the sole benefit of PBV and FCBI and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including, Benefit Plans or any beneficiary thereof or (ii) to continued employment with PBV, FCBI, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates.

(f) FCB shall enter into (i) an employment agreement with Xxxxxxxx X. XxXxxx, the form of which is attached as Annex C hereto, dated as of the date of this Agreement, with employment to be effective as of the Effective Time, and (ii) a consulting agreement with each of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xx. and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the form of which is attached as Annex D hereto, dated as of the date of this Agreement, to be effective as of the Effective Time.

(g) An employee of PBV (other than an employee who is a party to an employment agreement or a severance agreement) whose employment is involuntarily terminated other than for cause following the Effective Time but on or before the date that is six months from the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive severance payments pursuant to PBV’s severance plan, as set forth in Section 5.03(m)(viii) of PBV’s Disclosure Schedule.

(h) Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, FCBI, FCB, PBV and each of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xx., Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxx X. Xxxxx shall execute and deliver a Severance Agreement and Release in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties thereto, pursuant to which Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xx., Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxx X. Xxxxx, as applicable, shall agree to terminate his or her existing employment with PBV on the terms set forth therein.

6.12 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of PBV and FCBI shall give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (i) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it or (ii) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.

6.13 Compliance with Law. Each of FCBI, FCB and PBV shall comply in all material respects with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign statutes, laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, judgments, orders or decrees applicable thereto or to employees conducting such businesses.

6.14 Antitakeover Statutes. Each of FCBI and PBV and their respective Boards of Directors shall, if any state antitakeover statute or similar statute becomes applicable to this Agreement and the Transaction, take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that the Transaction may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transaction.

6.15 FCB Advisory Board. FCB, in its sole discretion, may offer a seat on its Richmond Area Advisory Board to any director of PBV who is interested in serving and who does not join the FCB board of directors as contemplated in Section 2.01(d) after the Effective Time.

(c) Delay. By FCBI and FCB or PBV, in the event that the Merger is not consummated by December 31, 2012, except to the extent that the failure of the Merger then to be consummated by such date shall be due to (i) the failure of the party seeking to terminate pursuant to this Section 8.01(c) to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth in this Agreement or (ii) the failure of any of the Shareholders (if PBV is the party seeking to terminate) to perform or observe his or her covenants and agreements under the relevant Shareholder Agreement.

(d) No Regulatory Approval. By FCBI and FCB or PBV in the event that the approval of any Governmental Authority required for consummation of the Merger and the Transaction shall have been denied by final nonappealable action of such Governmental Authority or an application therefor shall have been permanently withdrawn at the request of a Governmental Authority; provided, however, that no party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) if such denial shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants of such party set forth herein.

(e) No PBV Shareholder Approval. By either FCBI and FCB or PBV, if any approval of the shareholders of PBV contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at the PBV Meeting or at any adjournment thereof.

(g) Certain Tender or Exchange Offers. By FCBI and FCB if a tender offer or exchange offer for 20% or more of the outstanding shares of PBV Common Stock is commenced (other than by FCBI or a Subsidiary thereof), and the PBV Board recommends that the shareholders of PBV tender their shares in such tender or exchange offer or otherwise fails to recommend that such shareholders reject such tender offer or exchange offer within the ten (10) Business Day period specified in Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act.

(h) Decline in FCBI Common Stock Price. By PBV if the PBV Board so determines by a vote of the majority of the members of the entire PBV Board, at any time during the five (5)-day period commencing with the Determination Date, if both of the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) The number obtained by dividing the Average Closing Price by the Starting Price (as defined below) (the “FCBI Ratio”) shall be less than eighty one-hundredths (0.80); and

(ii) (x) the FCBI Ratio shall be less than (y) the number obtained by dividing the Final Index Price by the Index Price on the Starting Date (each as defined below) and subtracting twenty one-hundredths (0.20) from the quotient in this clause (ii)(y) (such number in this clause (ii)(y) being referred to herein as the “Index Ratio”);

Subject, however, to the following three (3) sentences. If PBV elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to this Section 8.01(h), it shall give written notice to FCBI (provided that such notice of election to terminate may be withdrawn at any time within the aforementioned five (5)-day period). During the five (5)-day period commencing with its receipt of such notice, FCBI shall have the option to increase the consideration to be received by the holder of PBV Common Stock hereunder, by adjusting the Exchange Ratio (calculated to the nearest one one-thousandth (1/1000)) to equal the lesser of (x) a number (rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth (1/1000)) obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Starting Price, eighty one-hundredths (0.80) and the Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the Average Closing Price and (y) a number (rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth (1/1000)) obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Index Ratio and the Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the FCBI Ratio. If FCBI so elects within such five (5)-day period, it shall give prompt written notice to PBV of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have occurred pursuant to this Section 8.01(h) and this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms (except as the Exchange Ratio shall have been so modified.)

(c) PBV and FCBI agree that the agreement contained in paragraph (b) above is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that without such agreement FCBI would not have entered into this Agreement, and that such amounts do not constitute a penalty or liquidated damages in the event of a breach of this Agreement by PBV. If PBV fails to pay FCBI the amounts due under paragraph (b) above within the time periods specified in such paragraph (b), PBV shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by FCBI in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit, taken to collect payment of such amounts, provided FCBI prevails on the merits, together with interest on the amount of any such unpaid amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until the date of actual payment.

9.07 Entire Understanding; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the Shareholder Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding of the parties hereto and thereto with reference to the Transaction, and this Agreement, the Shareholder Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement supersede any and all other oral or written agreements heretofore made. Except for the Indemnified Parties’ right to enforce FCBI’s obligation under Section 6.10, which are expressly intended to be for the irrevocable benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.08 Severability. Except to the extent that application of this Section 9.08 would have a Material Adverse Effect on PBV, FCBI or FCB, any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. In all such cases, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision which, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents of this Agreement.

9.09 Enforcement of the Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event attorneys’ fees or other costs are incurred to secure performance of any of the obligations herein provided for, or to establish damages for the breach thereof, or to obtain any other appropriate relief, whether by way of prosecution or defense, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred therein.

9.10 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Annexes, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of, Annex, Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Whenever the words “as of the date hereof” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to mean the day and year first above written.

9.11 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

PLAN OF MERGER

BETWEEN

PEOPLES BANK OF VIRGINIA

AND

FIRST COMMUNITY BANK

PURSUANT TO THIS PLAN OF MERGER (this “Plan of Merger”), Peoples Bank of Virginia, a Virginia corporation (“PBV”), shall merge with and into First Community Bank (“FCB”), a Virginia corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of First Community Bancshares Inc., a Nevada corporation (“FCBI”).

ARTICLE 1

TERMS OF THE MERGER

1.01 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 1, 2012, among FCBI, FCB and PBV (the “Agreement”), at the Effective Time (as defined below), PBV shall be merged with and into FCB (the “Merger”) in accordance with the provisions of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”), and with the effects set forth in Section 13.1-721 of the VSCA. The separate corporate existence of PBV thereupon shall cease, and FCB shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Bank”). The Merger shall become effective on such date and time as may be determined in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Agreement (the “Effective Time”).

1.02 Name. The name of the Surviving Bank shall be “First Community Bank.” The main office of the Surviving Bank shall be the main office of FCB immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.03 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Bank immediately after the Merger shall be the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of FCB (the “FCB Articles”) and the Bylaws, as amended, of FCB (the “FCB Bylaws”) as in effect immediately prior to the Merger.

1.04 Directors and Executive Officers. The directors of FCB in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with such additional persons as may thereafter be elected, shall serve as the directors of the Surviving Bank from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the FCB Articles and FCB Bylaws, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be a director. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, FCB shall take all action necessary to appoint one (1) individual who was a director of PBV on the date hereof and who is chosen by FCB after consultation with PBV to the board of directors of the Surviving Bank, to be effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and continue for not less than three (3) years. The officers of FCB in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with such additional persons as may thereafter be elected, shall serve as the officers of the Surviving Bank from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the FCB Articles and the FCB Bylaws, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be an officer.

1.05 Authorized Capital Stock. Each share of FCB common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be unchanged and shall remain issued and outstanding. At the Effective Time, each share of PBV common stock, with a $5.00 par value per share (“PBV Common Stock”) issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled, and each certificate previously representing shares of PBV Common Stock (a “Certificate”) shall (except for Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined below) in accordance with Article 2 of this Plan of Merger.

1.06 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the Merger will have the effect set forth in Section 13.1-721 of the VSCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of PBV shall vest in the Surviving Bank, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of PBV shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Bank and each Certificate previously representing shares of PBV Common Stock shall (except for Dissenting Shares) thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Article 2 of this Plan of Merger.

ARTICLE 2

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

2.01 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of a holder of shares of PBV Common Stock:

(a) FCB Common Stock. Each share of common stock of FCB, par value of $1.00 per share (“FCB Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

(b) PBV Common Stock. Each share of PBV Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into, and shall be canceled in exchange for, solely the right to receive one and seven one hundredths (1.07) shares of the common stock (the “FCBI Common Stock”), $1.00 par value per share, of FCBI (the “Exchange Ratio”) and a cash sum of Six and 08/100 Dollars ($6.08) (collectively, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

(c) Certificates. Each Certificate (except for a Certificate representing Dissenting Shares) shall cease to represent any rights except the right to receive with respect to each underlying share of PBV Common Stock (i) a book entry representing the whole shares of FCBI Common Stock into which the shares of PBV Common Stock represented by the Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.01 upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.02, (ii) in accordance with Section 2.04, cash in lieu of fractional shares, and (iii) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(b).

2.02 Exchange Procedures.

(a) FCBI Deliveries. At the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, FCBI shall deliver to an exchange agent designated by FCBI (the “Exchange Agent”), (i) a statement of the number of book-entry shares of FCBI Common Stock issuable and in exchange for Certificates representing outstanding shares of PBV Common Stock and (ii) the aggregate amount of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Agreement) to be delivered to holders of PBV Common Stock and the amount of cash to be delivered in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04.

(b) Exchange Agent Deliveries. Each holder of an outstanding Certificate or Certificates who has surrendered such Certificate or Certificates to the Exchange Agent will, upon acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to evidence of a book-entry representing the number of whole shares of FCBI Common Stock converted from PBV Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Ratio; an amount of cash equal to Six and 08/100 Dollars ($6.08) per share of PBV Common Stock held; and the amount required to be paid in exchange for any fractional shares of FCBI Common Stock to which a holder would otherwise be entitled for the PBV Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or Certificates. Certificates surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to this Plan of Merger and any other distribution theretofore paid with respect to FCBI Common Stock issuable in the Merger, in each case without interest. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. Each outstanding Certificate, which prior to the Effective Time represented PBV Common Stock and which is not surrendered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the procedures provided for herein, shall, except as otherwise herein provided, until duly surrendered to the Exchange Agent, be deemed to evidence ownership of the number of book-entry shares of FCBI Common Stock into which such PBV Common Stock shall have been converted, as well as the right to receive the corresponding cash portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration. No dividends that have been declared will be remitted to any person entitled to receive shares of FCBI Common Stock until such Person surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing PBV Common Stock, at which time such dividends shall be remitted to such Person, without interest.

(c) Lost or Destroyed Certificates; Recordation of FCBI Common Stock in New Names. The Exchange Agent and FCBI, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to make a book-entry representing shares of FCBI Common Stock to which a holder of PBV Common Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing the shares of PBV Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 2.02, or, in default thereof, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in an amount as may be reasonably required in each case by FCBI. If any book-entries evidencing shares of FCBI Common Stock are to be made in a name other than that in which the Certificate evidencing PBV Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of a book-entry for shares of FCBI Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Unclaimed Merger Consideration. Any portion of the shares of FCBI Common Stock and cash delivered to the Exchange Agent by FCBI pursuant to Section 2.02(b) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of PBV for six months after the Effective Time (as well as any proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to FCBI. Any shareholders of PBV who have not theretofore complied with Section 2.02(b) shall thereafter look only to FCBI for the consideration deliverable in respect of each share of PBV Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Plan of Merger without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates for shares of PBV Common Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of FCBI Common Stock and cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the property of FCBI (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Plan of Merger shall be liable to any holder of stock represented by any Certificate for any consideration paid to a Governmental Authority pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. FCBI and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of PBV to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the consideration specified in this Plan of Merger, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, FCBI and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

2.03 Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of PBV Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of PBV other than to receive the consideration provided under this Article II. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of PBV or the Surviving Bank of shares of PBV Common Stock.

2.04 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan of Merger, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional shares of FCBI Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder of PBV Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of FCBI Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by Thirteen and 25/100 Dollars ($13.25), rounded to the nearest whole cent. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.

2.05 Dissenting Shares. Each outstanding share of PBV Common Stock the holder of which has perfected his, her or its appraisal rights under the VSCA and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such rights as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to the right to receive the fair value of such outstanding share in cash as set forth in the VSCA. PBV shall give FCBI prompt notice upon receipt by PBV of any such written demands for payment of the fair value of such shares of PBV Common Stock and of withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments provided pursuant to the VSCA. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by FCBI. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his, her or its appraisal rights under the VSCA, the Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall be converted into a right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Plan of Merger.

2.06 PBV Options. At the Effective Time, each option to acquire PBV Common Stock (each, a “PBV Option”) that is then outstanding and unexercised shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of PBV Common Stock and shall be exchanged for a cash amount equal to the number of shares of PBV Common Stock subject to such PBV Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the difference of Twenty and 26/100 Dollars ($20.26) (the “Option Ratio”) and the per share exercise price, subject to any adjustment contemplated by Section 8.01(h) of the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence, each PBV Option which is an “incentive stock option” shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the PBV Option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. FCBI and PBV agree to take all necessary steps to the effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06.

2.07 Anti-Dilution Provisions. If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the shares of FCBI Common Stock shall be changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, or similar transaction with respect to FCBI Common Stock, or a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date or ex dividend or distribution date within such period, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted accordingly.

2.08 Withholding Rights. FCBI (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Plan of Merger to any holder of shares of PBV Common Stock such amounts as FCBI is required under the Code or any state, local or foreign tax law or regulation thereunder to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Plan of Merger as having been paid to the holder of PBV Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by FCBI.

THIS SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of __________, 2012, among __________________, a shareholder (“Shareholder”) of Peoples Bank of Virginia, a Virginia-chartered commercial bank (“PBV”), First Community Bancshares, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“FCBI”), First Community Bank (“FCB”), a Virginia-chartered commercial bank and, solely for purposes of the last sentence of Section 8, PBV. All terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Merger Agreement (defined below).

WHEREAS, FCBI, FCB and PBV are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which PBV will merge with and into FCB on the terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Merger”) and, in connection therewith, outstanding shares of PBV Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of FCBI Common Stock and cash in the manner set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, Shareholder owns the shares of PBV Common Stock identified on Exhibit I hereto (such shares, together with all shares of PBV Common Stock subsequently acquired by Shareholder during the term of this Agreement, being referred to as the “Shares”); and

WHEREAS, in order to induce FCBI and FCB to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder, solely in such Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of PBV and not in any other capacity, has agreed to enter into and perform this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Vote Shares. Shareholder agrees that at any meeting of the shareholders of PBV, or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of PBV, Shareholder shall:

(a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(b) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or deliver a written consent (or cause a consent to be delivered), covering all the Shares (whether acquired heretofore or hereafter) that are beneficially owned by Shareholder and as to which Shareholder has, directly or indirectly, the right to vote or direct the voting, (x) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement; (y) against any action or agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of PBV contained in the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder contained in this Agreement; and (z) against any Acquisition Proposal or any other action, agreement or transaction that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to materially impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect consummation of the Merger or the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.

2. Transfer of Shares.

(a) Prohibition on Transfers of Shares; Other Actions. Shareholder hereby agrees that while this Agreement is in effect, Shareholder shall not, (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber (except for pledges or encumbrances existing as of the date of this Agreement), distribute by gift or donation, or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares (or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares) or any interest therein, whether by actual disposition, physical settlement or effective economic disposition through hedging transactions, derivative instruments or other means, (ii) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person, or take any other action, that violates or conflicts with or could reasonably be expected to violate or conflict with Shareholder’s representations, warranties, covenants and obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) take any other action that could reasonably be expected to impair or otherwise adversely affect, in any material respect, Shareholder’s power, authority and ability to comply with and perform his, her or its covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Transfer of Voting Rights. Shareholder hereby agrees that Shareholder shall not deposit any Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxy (other than a proxy solicited by PBV to vote the Shares in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement) or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Shares.

3. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder represents and warrants to and agrees with FCBI and FCB as follows:

(a) Capacity. Shareholder has all requisite capacity and authority to enter into and perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Binding Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Shareholder, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(c) Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder and the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, violate or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any agreement, instrument, contract or other obligation or any order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is bound, or any statute, rule or regulation to which Shareholder is subject or, in the event that Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, any charter, bylaw or other organizational document of Shareholder.

(d) Ownership. Shareholder’s Shares are, and through the term of this Agreement will be, owned beneficially and of record solely by Shareholder except as otherwise disclosed on Exhibit I hereto. Shareholder has good and marketable title to the Shares, free and clear of any lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance, except as otherwise disclosed on Exhibit I hereto. As of the date hereof, the Shares identified on Exhibit I hereto constitute all of the shares of PBV Common Stock owned beneficially or of record by Shareholder. Except as otherwise disclosed on Exhibit I hereto, Shareholder has and will have at all times during the term of this Agreement (i) sole voting power and sole power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1 hereof, (ii) sole power of disposition and (iii) sole power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Shares owned by Shareholder on the date of this Agreement and all of the Shares hereafter acquired by Shareholder and owned beneficially or of record by him, her or it during the term of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “beneficial ownership” shall be interpreted in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, provided that a Person shall be deemed to beneficially own any securities that may be acquired by such Person pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise (irrespective of whether the right to acquire such securities is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time, including the passage of time within sixty (60) days, the satisfaction of any conditions, the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing).

(e) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation by him, her or it of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, require Shareholder to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority.

(f) Absence of Litigation. There is no suit, action, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Shareholder, threatened against or affecting Shareholder or any of his, her or its affiliates before or by any Governmental Authority that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Shareholder to perform his, her or its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.

4. No Solicitation. Shareholder hereby agrees that during the term of this Agreement he, she or it shall not, and shall not permit any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by him, her or it to, directly or indirectly, (a) take any of the actions specified in clauses (i)-(vi) of Section 6.07(a) of the Merger Agreement, (b) agree to release, or release, any Person from any obligation under any existing standstill agreement or arrangement relating to PBV, or (c) participate in, directly or indirectly, a “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the rules of the SEC) or powers of attorney or similar rights to vote, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of, any shares of PBV Common Stock in connection with any vote or other action on any matter of a type described in Section 1(b) of this Agreement, other than to recommend that shareholders of PBV vote in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement. Shareholder agrees immediately to cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any Persons other than FCBI and FCB with respect to any possible Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and will take all necessary steps to inform any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by him, her or it of the obligations undertaken by Shareholder pursuant to this Section 4. Nothing contained in this Section 4 shall prevent a Shareholder who is an officer or a member of the PBV Board from discharging his or her fiduciary duties solely in his or her capacity as such an officer or director.

5. Notice of Acquisitions; Proposals Regarding Prohibited Transactions. Shareholder hereby agrees to notify FCBI and FCB promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) in writing of the number of any additional shares of PBV Common Stock or other securities of PBV of which Shareholder acquires beneficial or record ownership on or after the date hereof. Shareholder will comply with the provisions of Section 6.07(b) of the Merger Agreement as if he, she or it were PBV.

6. Specific Performance and Remedies. Shareholder acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to FCBI and FCB if Shareholder fails to comply with the obligations imposed by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, FCBI and FCB will not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Shareholder agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or in damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that FCBI and FCB may have an adequate remedy at law. Shareholder agrees that Shareholder will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with FCBI’s and FCB’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

7. Term of Agreement; Termination.

(a) The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof.

(b) This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date, if any, of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, or (ii) the Effective Time of the Merger. Upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder; provided, however, that such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

8. Stop Transfer Order. In furtherance of this Agreement, Shareholder hereby authorizes and instructs PBV to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of Shareholder’s Shares for the period from the date hereof through the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7. PBV agrees that as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement it shall give such stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for the PBV Common Stock.

9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

10. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, upon receipt of a transmission confirmation if sent by telecopy or like transmission and on the next Business Day when sent by a reputable overnight courier service to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

ANNEX C

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated March 1, 2012, to be effective as of the Effective Time (as defined below), by and between XXXXXXXX X. XXXXXX, a resident of Virginia (“Executive”), and FIRST COMMUNITY BANK, a Virginia corporation (“FCB” or the “Bank”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, Peoples Bank of Virginia, a Virginia-chartered commercial bank (“PBV”), has agreed to merge with and into FCB (the “Merger”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated March 1, 2012, by and among the Bank, First Community Bancshares, Inc. (“FCBI”) and PBV (the “Merger Agreement”), and the Merger will be effective upon the date and time shown in the articles of merger relating to the Merger that are required to be filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (the “Effective Time”);

WHEREAS, Executive is currently an employee of PBV and, following the Merger, Executive will serve as an employee of FCB;

WHEREAS, FCB and Executive desire to formalize the terms of employment of Executive following the Merger by entering into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, this Agreement shall replace and supersede that certain Change in Control Employment Agreement dated January 1, 2006 and that certain First Amendment to Change in Control Employment Agreement dated December 31, 2008; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement shall become effective immediately upon the closing of the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein set forth, Executive and the Bank do agree to terms of employment as follows:

1. Employment and Term. The Bank hereby hires Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to continue to serve as Senior Vice President and City Executive, or in such other position(s) as executive management of FCB shall from time to time assign to Executive, with such duties as normally associated with these positions. Executive shall also serve in such additional offices for the subsidiaries and affiliates of the Bank as its Board of Directors may specify. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of two (2) years effective immediately upon the Effective Time, and the employment of Executive by Bank hereunder shall begin at the Effective Time.

2. Compensation and Benefits.

(a) Base Salary. Executive’s base salary shall not be less than One Hundred Sixty Eight Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($168,000.00) (the “Base Salary”), subject to adjustment on each anniversary date of this Agreement. The base salary shall be paid biweekly during the term hereof, and if applicable, during the severance pay period, less all customary withholding.

(b) Incentive Compensation. Executive shall be awarded incentive compensation, if any, in an amount determined appropriate by the Bank and shall be eligible to participate in any incentive plan otherwise available to the position of Senior Vice-President and City Executive; provided, however, that such incentive compensation shall not encourage Executive to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Bank. In addition, as provided in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act §111(b)(2)(B), incentive compensation paid to Executive shall be subject to recovery or “clawback” by the Bank if the payments were based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria. Any incentive compensation made pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made within seventy-five (75) days after the previous year end for which the incentive compensation was earned by Executive.

(c) Restricted Stock Award. In consideration of Executive’s election to forego certain other compensation and as inducement to remain employed and achieve certain performance objectives, Executive shall be entitled to shares of First Community Bancshares, Inc. Common Stock, as more fully set forth in that certain Stock Award Agreement, dated as of the effective date of the Merger.

(d) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to vacation of four (4) weeks per year during the term of this Agreement. In the event that Executive does not use all four (4) weeks each year, the same rules that apply to all other employees should be followed.

(e) Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate, on the same basis as other employees, in all employee welfare, health, disability, retirement and/or pension benefit plans that the Bank establishes and makes available.

3. Change in Control Event. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3 or this Agreement, this Section 3 shall only be in effect for a period of two (2) years from the Effective Time, and regardless of whether or not any party to this Agreement extends or renews this Agreement for any period or periods under Section 12 of this Agreement or otherwise, this Section 3 shall expire, and be of no further force or effect, and no payment shall be due or payable hereunder for any reason, upon the date that is two (2) years after the Effective Time. If a Change in Control Event (as defined below) occurs within two (2) years after the Effective time and Executive is terminated by the Bank upon or after such Change in Control Event, other than for Cause, by death or by the Bank after Disability, as set forth in Section 4 below, provided that such termination of Executive also occurs within two (2) years after the Effective Time, then Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation: (1) salary accrued in favor of Executive through the date of the Change in Control Event (or through the date of Executive’s termination, if such termination is after the date of the Change in Control Event); and (2) a severance benefit of 2.99 times Executive’s base salary at the time of the Change in Control Event. If any compensation is due Executive pursuant to this Section, such compensation shall be paid to Executive within forty five (45) days following the date of Executive’s termination; provided that, in any event, Executive is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of any payment. Further, Executive (and his eligible dependents) shall be entitled to continue to participate in the Bank’s health insurance plans as permitted by COBRA, at Executive’s sole expense.

“Change in Control Event” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following:

(a) The acquisition of more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of common stock of FCBI by any person or persons acting as a group, (during a 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons acting as a group,) except as the result of any acquisition of shares by FCBI.

(b) Individuals who constitute the board of directors of FCBI (the “Board”) are replaced as directors during any 12-month period by individuals whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment.

(c) The consummation of a transaction or transactions resulting in any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquiring (during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from FCBI that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 80 percent of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of FCBI immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions unless such asset sale or sales result in a “transfer to a related party,” as defined in regulations and guidance issued under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

4. Termination for Cause. The Bank may terminate the employment of Executive prior to the expiration of the term or any renewals, upon Executive’s death, upon the Bank’s determination that he suffers from a permanent disability, or for Cause as set forth in this Section, and in such event, this Section 4 shall apply and control, and no payment shall be made under Sections 3 or 5 of this Agreement, notwithstanding any provisions of such Section.

(a) Death. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon his death. Upon his death, the Bank shall pay Executive’s estate his base salary through the end of the month in which his death occurs. Executive’s estate and heirs will be entitled to apply for and receive whatever plan benefits might be in place at the time of his death. Further, Executive’s eligible dependents shall have the right to continue their health insurance coverage as permitted by COBRA.

(b) Permanent Disability. If, as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to an accident or physical or mental illness, Executive is substantially unable to perform his duties for six (6) consecutive months, or for an aggregate of two hundred (200) days during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months, and remains incapable of performing such duties at the end of such six (6) or twelve (12) month period, then the Bank shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment for “permanent disability” before the end of the applicable term. Executive’s right to continued compensation and benefits shall end on the date set for termination, subject to Executive’s right to apply for and receive, if deemed qualified, those benefits that may be provided to participants in any disability plans and policies sponsored by the Bank. Further, Executive (and his eligible dependents) shall be entitled to continue to participate in the Bank’s health insurance plans as permitted by COBRA or as permitted by applicable Bank plan provisions, at Executive’s expense.

(c) “Termination for Cause” shall mean the termination of Executive’s employment prior to the expiration of the term or any renewal term by the Bank as a result of a finding by the Board of Cause. If the Bank terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, then Executive’s right to receive any further compensation or benefits from the Bank shall cease immediately as of the date of termination.

(d) “Cause” shall mean any of the following: (i) Executive has knowingly and intentionally engaged in an act or omission, or series of actions, deemed by the Bank to be fraudulent or unlawful; (ii) any knowing and material breach of this Agreement by Executive; (iii) any knowing and material violation by Executive of corporate policies and procedures that result in damage to the business or reputation of the Bank or its subsidiaries’ business, including, without limitation, policies prohibiting discrimination, harassment and/or retaliation; (iv) Executive engaging in a criminal act involving the property or persons associated with the Bank (other than a minor traffic offense) or involving behavior determined by the Board to be substantially detrimental to the Bank’s best interests; (v) excessive absenteeism by Executive without proper authorization; (vi) Executive’s intentional failure to follow the directions of Executive’s supervisor or a continued failure to perform assigned duties, which is not cured within twenty-one (21) days after written notice thereof is given to Executive; or (vii) Executive is grossly neglectful of duties resulting in a substantial injury to the Bank that is not cured within twenty-one (21) days after written notice thereof is given to Executive.

5. Termination Without Cause; Transfer of Executive. In the event that the Bank (i) terminates Executive’s employment for any reason other than as set forth in Sections 3 and 4, (ii) gives notice of non-renewal under Section 12, and Executive separates from service either upon expiration of this Agreement, or by resignation of Executive or termination by the Bank after such notice of non-renewal is given by the Bank under Section 12, (and no payment shall be made under this Section 5 unless Executive separates from service) or (iii) transfers Executive beyond a thirty (30) mile radius of his current work location in Richmond, Virginia and Executive resigns in writing within ninety (90) days after such transfer, then the Bank shall pay Executive severance in the form of a lump sum payment in an amount equal to his total base compensation that would have been payable, if Executive had not separated from service, for (a) the greater of (1) the remainder of the initial term of this Agreement under Section 1 or (2) one year, if such separation from service of Executive shall occur during such initial term, or (b) for one year, if such separation from service shall occur during any one-year renewal term under Section 12, as the case may be. If any compensation is due Executive pursuant to this Section, such compensation shall be paid to Executive within forty five (45) days following the date of Executive’s termination and separation from service, all provided that, in any event, Executive is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of any payment. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no payment shall be due under this Section 5 if any payment is due to Executive upon his separation from service under Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement. Further, Executive (and his eligible dependents) shall be entitled to continue to participate in the Bank’s health insurance plans as permitted by COBRA, at Executive’s expense.

6. Voluntary Termination by Executive. In the event that Executive terminates his employment of his own volition prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement and any renewals thereof, other than by resignation after notice of nonrenewal is given by Bank or by resignation within ninety (90) days after Bank relocates Executive beyond a thirty (30) mile radius of his current work location in Richmond, Virginia, as described in Section 5, then Executive shall be limited to the same rights and benefits as provided in connection with a Termination for Cause under Section 4 above.

7. Tax Issues. To the extent that any amount of pay or benefits provided to Executive under this Agreement would cause Executive to be subject to an excise tax under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and after taking into consideration all other amounts payable to Executive under other plans, programs, policies and arrangements, then the amount of pay and benefits provided under this Agreement and all other plans, programs, policies and arrangements shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of any such excise tax. Payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be reduced first. Payments and benefits shall be reduced in the following order of priority (i) first from cash compensation, (ii) next from equity compensation, then (iii) pro-rated among all remaining payments.

8. Loyalty Obligations. Executive agrees that the following obligations (“Loyalty Obligations”) shall apply in consideration of Executive’s employment by or continued employment with the Bank:

(a) Confidential Information.

(i) Bank Information. At all times during the term of Executive’s employment and thereafter, Executive shall hold in strictest confidence, and not use (except for the benefit of the Bank and to fulfill Executive’s employment obligations) or disclose to any person, business or other entity, without authorization of the Board of Directors of the Bank, any Confidential Information of the Bank or its subsidiary and affiliated entities (jointly and severally, “Related Entities”). “Confidential Information” means any proprietary information, technical or financial data, trade secrets or know-how regarding the Bank and/or Related Entities or their internal operations and plans that is treated as confidential by the Bank and/or Related Entities that is not generally known by persons not employed by the Bank, and that is not otherwise available to the public by lawful and proper means.

Executive agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary information from third parties in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or the Bank or to use it except as necessary in carrying out Executive’s work for the Bank consistent with the obligations of the Bank or Related Entities to such third party.

(iii) Legal Requirements. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to interfere with, restrict or allow any retaliation against Executive’s obligation or right to make disclosures, reports or complaints as authorized, permitted or required by federal or state law, including, without limitation, pursuant to the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

(b) Conflicting Employment. During the term of Executive’s employment with the Bank, Executive shall not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Bank or Related Entities are now involved or become involved during the term of Executive’s employment.

(d) Notification of New Employer. In the event that Executive leaves the employ of the Bank and begins employment elsewhere, Executive agrees the Bank may send notice to Executive’s new employer (whether Executive is employed as an employee, consultant, independent contractor, director, partner, officer, advisor, employee or manager) informing the new employer about Executive’s obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Non-Solicitation Restriction. The intent of this restriction is to prevent Executive during employment and for the (a) the greater of (1) the remainder of the initial term of this Agreement under Section 1 or (2) one year, if Executive’s employment with the Bank shall end during such initial term, or (b) for one year, if Executive’s employment with the Bank shall end during any one-year renewal term under Section 12, as the case may be, immediately after the employment with the Bank ends (“Restricted Period”) from competing with the Bank (which for purposes of this Section shall include all Related Entities) by trading on or disrupting business relationships that the Bank has with individuals and business entities that have accounts with the Bank or use or are actively considering using the Bank’s products or services.

(i) Executive shall refrain during the Restricted Period from engaging in any of the following activities, whether he does them by or for himself alone, or as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, member, investor, employee, consultant or agent for or on behalf of any other person or legal entity:

(3) Solicit the business of a Prospect (defined below) by communicating directly with a Prospect (regardless of who initiates the communication and in what form it occurs) when as part of the communication Executive discusses or offers a Competitive Service or Product with the intent to divert the Prospect’s business away from the Bank.

(ii) As used in this Section, the following terms shall have these meanings:

(1) “Competitive Service or Product” means those services or products that are (A) offered by a financial services company, an insurance company or agency, a financial consulting or services company or a banking or lending entity that is unaffiliated with the Bank and (B) the same as or the functional equivalent of those services or products that are offered by the Bank when Executive’s employment ends or that have been approved by the Bank to be offered within ninety (90) days of Executive’s last day of employment with the Bank.

(2) “Customer” means a business entity or individual that has an account with, loan from, an investment with or a deposit with the Bank or that has received or used other financial, insurance or investment products or services from the Bank, or its affiliates, at any time within the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the termination of Executive’s employment with the Bank; provided that Executive either had contact with the business entity or individual during employment with the Bank or had supervisory responsibility for those employees of the Bank who had direct responsibility for servicing the Customer.

(3) “Prospect” means a business entity or individual who has not previously done business with the Bank, or its affiliates, but who had one or more communications with Executive within the six (6) months immediately before the end of employment with the Bank where the business entity or individual applied for a loan, inquired about establishing an account or making an investment or otherwise had discussions with Executive about utilizing or obtaining service(s) and/or product(s) offered by the Bank.

9. Non-Compete Restriction.

(a) Competitive Employment Restriction. At all times during employment with the Bank and for (a) the greater of (1) the remainder of the initial term of this Agreement under Section 1 or (2) one year, if Executive’s employment with the Bank shall end during such initial term, or (b) for one year, if Executive’s employment with the Bank shall end during any one-year renewal term under Section 12, as the case may be, immediately after Executive’s employment with the Bank ends, Executive shall not accept employment with, work for or provide services on behalf of any Competing Financial Services Organization (defined below) if (i) the position to be held or the services to be performed by Executive is the same or the functional equivalent to the position held and/or the services performed by Executive on behalf of the Bank during Executive’s last twelve (12) months of employment with the Bank, or (ii) Executive is providing consulting services related to the design, development or marketing of services or products that are intended to be directly competitive with offerings by the Bank (or its Related Entities), and Executive is reporting to or working with the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer or the Board of Directors (or one of the Committees of the Board of Directors) of the Competing Financial Services Organization.

(b) Anti-Piracy Restriction. At all times during employment with the Bank and for (a) the greater of (1) the remainder of the initial term of this Agreement under Section 1 or (2) one year, if Executive’s employment with the Bank shall end during such initial term, or (b) for one year, if Executive’s employment with the Bank shall end during any one-year renewal term under Section 12, as the case may be, immediately after Executive’s employment ends, Executive shall refrain from taking any action to induce, solicit or encourage a Key Employee of the Bank, or its affiliates, to quit employment with the Bank with the intent, hope or purpose of having the Key Employee join a Competing Financial Services Organization (defined below) in a similar capacity, if that competitive organization has customer service facilities located within a twenty five (25) mile radius of any of the Bank’s facilities. As used in this Section, “Key Employee” means anyone who holds a position of Vice President or higher with the Bank or any of its subsidiaries.

(c) Definition. As used in Section, “Competing Financial Services Organization” means an entity engaged in the commercial, retail or mortgage banking or lending business; any entity providing insurance products and services; and any entity providing investment and/or wealth management products and services if such services and products are the same as or competitive with the services and products offered by the Bank (or one of its Related Entities) immediately prior to the date when Executive’s employment ends or were approved to be offered by the Bank within ninety (90) days of Executive’s last day of employment with the Bank. This restrictive covenant applies only if the Competing Financial Services Organization operates, or is seeking to open one or more branch facilities within a fifty (50) mile radius of the Bank’s headquarters or within a twenty five (25) mile radius of any other facility operated by the Bank (or one of its Related Entities) where commercial, retail or mortgage banking or lending, insurance, or investment or wealth management services and products are offered to the public.

10. Enforcement. Executive acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth above in Sections 8 and 9 are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the legitimate business interests of the Bank and that a violation of one or more of those covenants would result in irreparable injury to the Bank. In the event of a breach or a threatened breach of this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies (legal or equitable), the Bank shall be entitled to specific performance of these provisions and the issuance of a restraining order and/or injunction prohibiting Executive from violating one or more of these Loyalty Obligations. If litigation is filed that relates to or arises under this Section, then either party shall be entitled to recover his or its attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the litigation (including all appeals), as well as such party’s pre-litigation efforts to prevent a breach, to enforce the Agreement or to seek redress for a breach, but only if such party is the prevailing party in any such litigation. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as limiting or prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of money damages. Should an injunction be issued, Executive waives the right to require that the court require a bond to be posted in excess of One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000.00).

11. Compliance with Code Section 409A.

(a) General. It is intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance of general applicability issued thereunder (“Section 409A”) so as to not subject Executive to the payment of additional interest and taxes under Section 409A. In furtherance of this intent, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions, and to the extent that Section 409A would result in Executive being subject to the payment of additional income taxes or interest under Section 409A, the parties agree to amend the Agreement to avoid the application of such taxes and interest.

(b) Delayed Payments. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, as needed to comply with Section 409A, if Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), payments due under Section 4 above shall be subject to a six (6) month delay such that amounts otherwise payable during the six (6) month period following Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Treasury Reg. §1.409A-1(h)) shall be accumulated and paid in a lump-sum catch-up payment as of the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death).

(c) Treatment as Separation Pay. This Section shall not apply to the extent that such payments can be considered to be separation pay that is not part of a deferred compensation arrangement under Section 409A. If permitted by Section 409A, cash payments to Executive pursuant to Section 5 shall be considered first to come from separation pay.

(d) Cooperation. Bank and Executive shall promptly deliver to each other copies of any written communications and summaries of any verbal communications with any taxing authority regarding any excise tax. In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to any excise tax, Executive shall permit the Bank to control issues related to such excise tax (at its sole expense) provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect Executive. In the event that issues are inter-related, Executive and the Bank shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize the resolution of either issue. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority relating to any excise tax or other associated income taxes, Executive shall permit a representative of the Bank to accompany Executive, and Executive and his representative shall cooperate with the Bank and its representative. To the extent that there are any accounting charges incurred during Executive’s lifetime, the Bank shall pay all such expenses incurred by Executive. With respect to any reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits provided hereunder or under any provision of this Agreement, if any, (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during Executive’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense is made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(e) Definitions to Comply with Section 409A. In addition, this Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A and accordingly, (i) the terms “termination,” “terminate this Agreement” or “termination of employment” or any similar terms shall mean and be interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the definition of “separation from service” under Section 409A, which are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full, and (ii) only if necessary to prevent any payment hereunder from being an impermissible acceleration or delay of a payment, or otherwise being an impermissible payment under Section 409A, the following additional requirements shall apply before an event shall be a Change in Control Event under this Agreement, in addition to the requirements for a Change in Control Event as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement: such event shall also meet the definition, with respect to (A) the Bank or any Related Entity for whom Executive is performing services at the time of the Change in Control Event, (B) the Bank or any Related Entity that is liable for the payment to Executive hereunder (or all corporations liable for the payment if more than one corporation is liable), but only if either the deferred compensation is attributable to the performance of service by Executive for such corporation (or corporations) or there is a bona fide business purpose for such corporation or corporations to be liable for such payment and, in either case, no significant purpose of making such corporation or corporations liable for such payment is the avoidance of federal income tax, or (C) a corporation that is a majority shareholder of a corporation identified in paragraph (A) or (B) of this section, or any corporation in a chain of corporations in which each corporation is a majority shareholder of another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in paragraph (A) or (B) of this section.

12. Renewals. This Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive additional one-year periods on January 1 in each year hereafter beginning in 2014, in the absence of non-renewal by either party given in writing to the other party no later than September 15 of the preceding year.

13. Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of the Bank and Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement.

14. Withholding. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made by the Bank hereunder to Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts relating to taxes as the Bank may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

15. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or subsection of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability cannot be reformed by the court to cause it to be enforceable, and in such circumstances, the offending provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

16. Forum Selection. The parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any lawsuit related to or arising under this Agreement shall be in the Circuit Court for Tazewell County, Virginia or the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. Executive waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue that Executive otherwise may have to this venue for any such lawsuit.

17. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and applied in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, with the exception of its conflict of law provisions.

18. Survival. Subject to any limits on applicability contained therein, the provisions contained in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 hereof shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination or nonrenewal of this Agreement. Likewise, in the event that the Bank is obligated to make payments to Executive under Section 4, and Executive dies before all such payments are made, then the Bank shall make the balance of those payments to Executive’s estate. For the avoidance of doubt, if this Agreement is not renewed in accordance with Section 12, then the obligations set forth in Sections 8(e) and 9 shall begin to run as of the last day of the then applicable term.

19. Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Bank and its successors or assigns. In the event that a transaction is contemplated that will, upon consummation, result in a Change of Control Event, then in connection with the closing of such transaction, the Bank shall require as a condition of approval of the transaction that the surviving or successor entity execute an agreement, in a form and substance acceptable to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to honor and perform this Agreement as if the Bank were still bound.

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit and be enforceable by Executive, his personal and legal representatives, his executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may not assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Board.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions. The following words and terms shall have the meanings set forth below for the purposes of this Agreement:

(d) “Date of Termination” of this Agreement shall mean the date on which [•] is terminated or the term of this Agreement shall expire.

1. Effective Date. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Time and expire on the third anniversary of the Effective Time, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 6 below, with no further action or notice by either party.

3. Consulting Compensation. FCB desires to contract with [•] as a consultant for a period of thirty-six (36) months (the “Consulting Period”). As compensation for the services set forth in Section 4 below, [•] will be paid at a monthly rate of Seven Thousand Eighty-Three and 33/100 Dollars ($7,083.33) beginning on July 1, 2012 and at regular monthly payroll intervals coinciding with FCB’s regular payroll dates.

4. Consulting Duties and Responsibilities. During the Consulting Period, [•] agrees to render the following services as described below to FCB (the “Consulting Services”) in good faith, and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Consulting Services include the following:

(a) Consult with FCB’s management team, as needed, and to provide support to FCB on employee and customer retention, as requested.

(b) During the Consulting Period there is no requirement that [•] report to the office every workday during the term of this Agreement. His support shall include, but not be limited to, attending customer meetings and other business development/customer relationship events, participating in phone consultations with customers and FCB staff to support continued service relationships and accounts and providing such other assistance and support as may be requested from time to time. In performing these services, [•] shall report to FCB’s Board of Directors and to Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, FCB’s Chief Executive Officer.

(c) At the time this Agreement expires, or at such earlier time if requested by FCB, [•] shall return to FCB (and will not keep copies in his possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, computer files, disks, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, Confidential and Proprietary Information, work product or copies thereof, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by [•] or others pursuant to or during such time as [•] renders Consulting Services to FCB or otherwise belonging to FCB and its respective successors or assigns. [•] agrees to continue to keep secret all such preceding information and not to disclose or use such preceding information to the detriment of FCB or for the benefit of himself or others.

(d) To speak positively of FCB in conversations with customers, clients and prospects considering whether or not to do business with FCB and to encourage current and prospective customers to continue to conduct business with FCB.

As such, [•] will not be eligible for any benefits provided by FCB to its employees. [•] shall be responsible for payment of all taxes arising out of his activities in accordance with this Agreement, including, by way of illustration, but not limited to, federal and state income taxes, social security taxes, unemployment insurance taxes, and any other taxes or business license fees as required. Moreover, [•] agrees to be responsible at his own expense for all necessary insurance coverage for himself and his dependants. Finally, [•] shall comply at his own expense with all federal, state and local laws. [•] shall not represent directly or indirectly that he is an agent or legal representative of FCB, nor shall [•] incur any liabilities or obligations of any kind in the name of or on behalf of FCB other than those specifically made or approved as part of this Agreement.

6. Termination. In the event that the Merger does not occur for any reason, this Agreement will automatically become null and void and neither party shall be required to perform any duties or obligations set forth herein. Absent the foregoing, FCB may only terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration date set forth herein on the following grounds: (i) [•] becomes unable to perform because he becomes totally disabled or dies; or (ii) [•], directly, or others at his direction or encouragement, engage in acts that give FCB Good Cause (as defined below). “Good Cause” for termination shall only exist if (i) [•] knowingly refuses to perform the requested services after receiving a written request from Xx. Xxxxxx or FCB’s Board of Directors that gives [•] ten (10) days to perform the requested services; (ii) [•], or others at his direction or encouragement, engages in act(s) or fails to act in a way that, in the opinion of the FCB Board of Directors, either constitutes a material violation of law, an act of fraud, misrepresentation, theft, conversion of property, or a material violation of a FCB policy, rule, guideline or procedure such as discrimination, harassment, or unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential and Proprietary Information, or unethical conduct; or (iii) [•] otherwise violates a material term of this Agreement.

7. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation

(a) In consideration of the foregoing, [•] covenants and agrees during the term of this Agreement, that he shall not manage, advise, operate, control, participate, acquire an ownership interest in or provide services to a Competing Business. This covenant not to compete is limited as follows: (1) it shall not prohibit [•] from acquiring up to a 5% ownership in a publicly traded company which is a Competing Business; and (2) it shall only apply to a Competing Business if the Competing Business operates a facility or maintains a business location within twenty-five (25) miles of any location where FCB or one of its Affiliates is engaged in a similar business. This covenant shall apply regardless of the capacity in which [•] provides services (e.g., employee, consultant, officer, director) to a Competing Business, regardless of the manner in which [•]’s ownership of a Competing Business is held (e.g., shareholder, partner, member, etc.) and regardless of whether [•] provides services to a Competing Business directly, or does so indirectly by having others who are subject to his direction, control or supervision provide such services.

(b) [•] agrees that during the term of this Agreement, he shall not, directly or indirectly, divert or attempt to divert from FCB the business of any customer of FCB.

(c) [•] agrees that during the term of this Agreement, [•] shall not, directly or indirectly, approach or solicit any employee of FCB with a desire or intent to hire such employee to work for or provide services to a Competing Business or in an effort to persuade such employee to leave the employment of FCB to work for a Competing Business.

(d) [•] acknowledges that as a result of providing consulting services to FCB, [•] has held and will continue to hold a position of the highest trust in which he comes to know FCB’s employees, its customers and its Confidential and Proprietary Information. [•] agrees that the provisions of this Section 7 are necessary to protect FCB’s legitimate business interests. [•] warrants that these provisions will not unreasonably interfere with his ability to earn a living or to pursue his occupation after the Date of Termination for any reason. (e) The parties to this Agreement agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or negate the common law of torts, confidentiality, trade secrets, fiduciary duty and obligations where such laws provide FCB with any broader, further or other remedy or protection than those provided herein.

(f) Because the breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7 will result in immediate and irreparable injury to FCB for which FCB will not have an adequate remedy at law, FCB shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies, to seek a decree of specific performance of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 and to a temporary and permanent injunction enjoining such breach, without posting bond or furnishing similar security.

8. Cooperation in Legal Proceedings. After the Date of Termination, [•] agrees to reasonably cooperate with FCB and any of its Affiliates in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions that may be brought against or on behalf of FCB or its Affiliates, which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while [•] was providing services to FCB. [•]’s reasonable cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of FCB or any of its Affiliates. [•] also agrees to reasonably cooperate with FCB and any of its Affiliates in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to any acts or omissions that transpired while [•] was providing services to FCB. [•] understands that in any legal action, investigation, or review covered by this Section 8 that FCB expects [•] to provide only accurate and truthful information or testimony. FCB will pay expenses necessarily and reasonably incurred by [•] in complying with this Section.

9. Amendment; Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by [•] and such officer or officers as may be specifically designated by the Board of Directors of FCB to sign on its behalf. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

10. Governing Law and Forum Selection. [•] and FCB agree that this Agreement was entered according to and shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts having jurisdiction over Bluefield, Virginia as being the exclusive forums for resolving any and all disputes that may arise between the parties in the future. [•] further waives any right he may have to demand a trial by jury in such action.

11. Severability. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that if any part, term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court to be unlawful, invalid, unenforceable or in conflict with any law of the state where made or enforced, the validity of the remaining portions or provisions shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the particular part, term or provision held to be invalid.

12. Nature of Obligations. Nothing contained herein shall create or require FCB to create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which may be payable hereunder, and to the extent that [•] acquires a right to receive benefits from FCB hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of FCB.

13. Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

14. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

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

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Severance Agreement and Release Agreement represent the entire agreement and understanding between FCB and [•] with respect to the matters agreed to herein.

[Signature page follows this page.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed this same day.
