TERMS OF MERGER
2.1Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions set

be merged with and into American National under the Articles of
Association and Bylaws of American National pursuant to the
provisions of and with the effect provided in 12 U.S.C. Sections

shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Plan of
Merger, which has been approved and adopted by the respective
Boards of Directors of Mutual and American National.
2.2Method of Converting Shares. Subject to the
provisions of this Article Two, at the Effective Time, by virtue
of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders
thereof, the shares of the constituent corporations or
associations shall be converted as follows:
(a)Each share of American National Common Stock
issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall remain issued
and outstanding from and after the Effective Time.
(b)Each share of Mutual Common Stock (excluding
shares held by any Mutual Company or by any ANB Company, which
shares shall be canceled as provided in Section 2.4 of this Plan
of Merger, in each case other than in a fiduciary capacity or in
satisfaction of debts previously contracted) issued and
outstanding at the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding
and shall be converted into and exchanged for .705 of a share of
ANB Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio").
2.3 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event Mutual or
ANB changes the number of shares of Mutual Common Stock or ANB
Common Stock, respectively, issued and outstanding prior to the
Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, or
similar recapitalization with respect to such stock and the
record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the
Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted.
2.4 Shares Held by Mutual or ANB. Each of the shares
of Mutual Common Stock held by any Mutual Company or by any ANB
Company, in each case other than in a fiduciary capacity or in
satisfaction of debts previously contracted, shall be canceled
and retired at the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be
issued in exchange therefor.
2.5 Dissenting Shareholders. Any holder of shares of
Mutual Common Stock who perfects such holder's dissenters' rights
of appraisal in accordance with and as contemplated by 12 C.F.R.
552.14 shall be entitled to receive the value of such shares in
cash as determined pursuant to such provision of Law; provided,
however, that no such payment shall be made to any dissenting
shareholder unless and until such dissenting shareholder has
complied with the applicable provisions of 12 C.F.R. 552.14 and
surrendered to the Resulting Association the certificate or
certificates representing the shares for which payment is being
made. In the event that after the Effective Time a dissenting
shareholder of Mutual fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws
or loses, such holder's right to appraisal and of payment for
such holder's shares, ANB shall issue and deliver the
consideration to which such holder of shares of Mutual Common
Stock is entitled under this Article Two (without interest) upon
surrender by such holder of the certificate or certificates
representing shares of Mutual Common Stock held by such holder.
Mutual will establish an escrow account with an amount sufficient
to satisfy the maximum aggregate payment that may be required to
be paid to dissenting shareholders. Upon satisfaction of all
claims of dissenting shareholders, the remaining escrowed amount,
reduced by payment of the fees and expenses of the escrow agent,
will be returned to the Resulting Association.
2.6 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan of Merger, each holder of shares of Mutual
Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise
have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of ANB Common
Stock (after taking into account all certificates delivered by
such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without
interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share
of ANB Common Stock multiplied by $30.50.
2.7Conversion of Stock Options.
(a)At the Effective Time, each option or other right
to purchase shares of Mutual Common Stock pursuant to stock
options or stock appreciation rights ("Mutual Options") granted
by Mutual under the Mutual Stock Plans (as defined in the
Agreement) which are outstanding at the Effective Time, whether
or not exercisable, shall be converted into and become rights
with respect to ANB Common Stock, and ANB shall assume each
Mutual Option, in accordance with the terms of the Mutual Stock
Plan and stock option agreement by which it is evidenced, except
that from and after the Effective Time, (i) the Board of
Directors of Mutual Mortgage Company shall be substituted for
Mutual and the Committee of Mutual's Board of Directors
(including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors of
Mutual) administering such Mutual Stock Plan, (ii) each Mutual
Option assumed by ANB may be exercised solely for shares of ANB
Common Stock (or cash in the case of stock appreciation rights),
(iii) the number of shares of ANB Common Stock subject to such
Mutual Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Mutual
Common Stock subject to such Mutual Option immediately prior to
the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (iv) the
per share exercise price under each such Mutual Option shall be
adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such
Mutual Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the
nearest cent. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (iii) of
the preceding sentence, ANB shall not be obligated to issue any
fraction of a share of ANB Common Stock upon exercise of Mutual
Options and any fraction of a share of ANB Common Stock that
otherwise would be subject to a converted Mutual Option shall
represent the right to receive a cash payment equal to the
product of such fraction and the difference between the market
value of one share of ANB Common Stock and the per share exercise
price of such option. The market value of one share of ANB
Common Stock shall be the average of the closing bid and asked
prices of such common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq System or, if
not reported thereby, any other authoritative source selected by
ANB) on the last trading day preceding the exercise of the
option. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of clauses
(iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 2.7, each
Mutual Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be
adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code,
and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to
constitute a modification, extension, or renewal of the option,
within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Internal Revenue
Code.
(b)All restrictions or limitations on transfer with
respect to Mutual Common Stock awarded under the Mutual Stock
Plans or any other plan, program, or arrangement of any Mutual
Company, to the extent that such restrictions or limitations
shall not have already lapsed, and except as otherwise expressly
provided in such plan, program, or arrangement, shall remain in
full force and effect with respect to shares of ANB Common Stock
into which such restricted stock is converted pursuant to Section
2.2 of this Plan of Merger.

ARTICLE FOUR
EXCHANGE OF SHARES
4.1 Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the
Effective Time, ANB shall cause the exchange agent selected by it
(the "Exchange Agent") to mail to the former shareholders of
Mutual appropriate transmittal materials (which shall specify
that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to
the certificates theretofore representing shares of Mutual Common
Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates
to the Exchange Agent). After the Effective Time, each holder of
shares of Mutual Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled
pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Plan of Merger) issued and
outstanding at the Effective Time shall surrender the certificate
or certificates representing such shares to the Exchange Agent
and shall promptly upon surrender thereof receive in exchange
therefor the consideration provided in Section 2.2 of this Plan
of Merger, together with all undelivered dividends or
distributions in respect of such shares (without interest
thereon) pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Plan of Merger. To the
extent required by Section 2.6 of this Plan of Merger, each
holder of shares of Mutual Common Stock issued and outstanding at
the Effective Time also shall receive, upon surrender of the
certificate or certificates representing such shares, cash in
lieu of any fractional share of ANB Common Stock to which such
holder may be otherwise entitled (without interest). ANB shall
not be obligated to deliver the consideration to which any former
holder of Mutual Common Stock is entitled as a result of the
Merger until such holder surrenders such holder's certificate or
certificates representing the shares of Mutual Common Stock for
exchange as provided in this Section 4.1. The certificate or
certificates of Mutual Common Stock so surrendered shall be duly
endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require. Any other provision
of the Agreement notwithstanding, neither ANB, the Resulting
Association, nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to a holder
of Mutual Common Stock for any amounts paid or property delivered
in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property Law.
4.2 Rights of Former Mutual Shareholders. At the
Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Mutual shall be
closed as to holders of Mutual Common Stock immediately prior to
the Effective Time, and no transfer of Mutual Common Stock by any
such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until
surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.1 of this Plan of Merger, each certificate theretofore
representing shares of Mutual Common Stock (other than shares to
be canceled pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Plan of Merger or as
to which the holder thereof has perfected dissenters' rights of
appraisal as contemplated by Section 2.5 of this Plan of Merger)
shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all
purposes only the right to receive the consideration provided in
Sections 2.2 and 2.6 of this Plan of Merger in exchange therefor.
To the extent permitted by Law, former shareholders of record of
Mutual shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any
meeting of ANB shareholders the number of whole shares of ANB
Common Stock into which their respective shares of Mutual Common
Stock are converted, regardless of whether such holders have
exchanged their certificates representing Mutual Common Stock for
certificates representing ANB Common Stock in accordance with the
provisions of this Plan of Merger. Whenever a dividend or other
distribution is declared by ANB on the ANB Common Stock, the
record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, the
declaration shall include dividends or other distributions on all
shares of ANB Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Agreement,
but no dividend or other distribution payable to the holders of
record of ANB Common Stock as of any time subsequent to the
Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any
certificate representing shares of Mutual Common Stock issued and
outstanding at the Effective Time until such holder surrenders
such certificate for exchange as provided in Section 4.1 of this
Plan of Merger. However, upon surrender of such Mutual Common
Stock certificate, both the ANB Common Stock certificate
(together with all such undelivered dividends or other
distributions without interest) and any undelivered cash payments
to be paid for fractional share interests (without interest)
shall be delivered and paid with respect to each share
represented by such certificate.

On even date herewith, ANB and Mutual Savings Bank,

The Merger Agreement generally provides for the merger of Mutual

subsidiary of ANB (the "Merger"), and the conversion of the
issued and outstanding shares of the $1.00 par value common stock
of Mutual ("Mutual Common Stock") into shares of the $1.00 par
value common stock of ANB. The Merger Agreement is subject to
the affirmative vote of the shareholders of Mutual and ANB, the
receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of
other conditions.
The undersigned is a member of the Board of Directors of
Mutual and is the owner of _________ shares of Mutual common
stock and has rights by option or otherwise to acquire _________
additional shares of Mutual common stock (collectively, the
"Shares"). In order to induce ANB to enter into the Merger
Agreement, the undersigned is entering into this Agreement with
ANB to set forth certain terms and conditions governing the
actions to be taken by the undersigned solely in the
undersigned's capacity as a shareholder of Mutual with respect to
the Shares until consummation of the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the mutual promises and
covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Without the prior written consent of ANB, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the undersigned shall
not transfer, sell, assign, convey, or encumber any of the Shares
during the term of this Agreement except for transfers (i) by
operation of law, by will, or pursuant to the laws of descent and
distribution, (ii) in which the transferee shall agree in writing
to be bound by the provisions of paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this
Agreement as fully as the undersigned, or (iii) to ANB pursuant
to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the undersigned shall not grant to
any party any option or right to purchase the Shares or any
interest therein. Further, except with respect to the Merger,
the undersigned shall not during the term of this Agreement
approve or ratify any agreement or contract pursuant to which the
Shares would be transferred to any other party as a result of a
consolidation, merger, share exchange, or acquisition.
2. The undersigned intends to, and will, vote (or cause
to be voted) all of the Shares over which the undersigned has
voting authority (other than in a fiduciary capacity) in favor of
the Merger Agreement and the Merger at any meeting of
shareholders of Mutual called to vote on the Merger Agreement or
the Merger or the adjournment thereof or in any other
circumstance upon which a vote, consent, or other approval with
respect to the Merger Agreement or the Merger is sought.
Further, the undersigned intends to, and will, surrender the
certificate or certificates representing the Shares over which
the undersigned has dispositive authority to ANB upon
consummation of the Merger as described in the Merger Agreement
and hereby waives any rights of appraisal, or rights to dissent
from the Merger, that the undersigned may have.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, at
any meeting of shareholders of Mutual or at any adjournment
thereof or any other circumstances upon which their vote,
consent, or other approval is sought, the undersigned will vote
(or cause to be voted) all of the Shares over which the
undersigned has voting authority (other than in a fiduciary
capacity) (i) against any merger agreement, share exchange, or
merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Merger),
consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, merger,
recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of or
by Mutual or (ii) any amendment of Mutual's Charter or Bylaws or
other proposal or transaction involving Mutual or any of its
subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal or transaction
would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent, or nullify the
Merger, the Merger Agreement, or any of the other transactions
contemplated thereby.
4. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that ANB
could not be made whole by monetary damages in the event of any
default by the undersigned of the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed and understood that
ANB in addition to any other remedy which it may have at law or
in equity, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of this Agreement and specifically to enforce
the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any
court of the United States or in any state having appropriate
jurisdiction.
5. The covenants and obligations set forth in this
Agreement shall expire and be of no further force and effect on
the earlier of: (i) September 30, 1996 or such date to which the
Merger Agreement is extended or (ii) the date on which the
Merger Agreement is terminated.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the undersigned as of the day and year first

135 ("ASR 130 and 135") have been met. The undersigned
understands that ASR 130 and 135 relate to publication of
financial results of post-Merger combined operations of ANB and

days after the end of the first fiscal quarter of ANB containing
the required period of post-Merger combined operations and that
it will notify the undersigned promptly following such
publication.
3. Covenants and Warranties of Undersigned. The undersigned
represents, warrants, and agrees that:
(a)During the 30 days immediately preceding the
effective time of the Merger, the undersigned has not sold,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of the undersigned's

beneficially owned by the undersigned as of the date of the
meeting of the shareholders of Mutual held to approve the
Merger.
(b)The ANB Common Stock received by the undersigned as a
result of the Merger will be taken for the undersigned's own
or such undersigned's spouse's account or an account for
which the undersigned or the undersigned's spouse serve as a
fiduciary and not for others, directly or indirectly, in
whole or in part.
(c)ANB has informed the undersigned that any
distribution by the undersigned of ANB Common Stock has not
been registered under the 1933 Act and that shares of ANB
Common Stock received pursuant to the Merger can only be sold
by the undersigned (1) following registration under the 1933
Act, or (2) in conformity with the volume and other
requirements of Rule 145(d) promulgated by the SEC as the
same now exist or may hereafter be amended, or (3) to the
extent some other exemption from registration under the 1933
Act might be available. The undersigned understands that ANB
is under no obligation to file a registration statement with
the SEC covering the disposition of the undersigned's shares
of ANB Common Stock or to take any other action necessary to
make compliance with an exemption from such registration
available.
(d)The undersigned will, and will cause each of the

4. Restrictions on Transfer. The undersigned understands
and agrees that stop transfer instructions with respect to the
shares of ANB Common Stock received by the undersigned pursuant

shares issued in substitution thereof, a legend stating in
substance:
"The shares represented by this certificate were issued
pursuant to a business combination which is accounted for
as a 'pooling of interests' and may not be sold, nor may
the owner thereof reduce the owner's risks relative
thereto in any way, until such time as American National
Bankshares Inc. ('ANB') has published the financial
results covering at least 30 days of combined operations
after the effective date of the merger through which the
business combination was effected. In addition, the
shares represented by this certificate may not be sold,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of except or unless
(1) covered by an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (2) in accordance
with (i) Rule 145(d) (in the case of shares issued to an
individual who is not an affiliate of ANB) or (ii) Rule
144 (in the case of shares issued to an individual who is
an affiliate of ANB) of the Rules and Regulations of such
Act, or (3) in accordance with a legal opinion
satisfactory to counsel for ANB that such sale or
transfer is otherwise exempt from the registration
requirements of such Act."
Such legend will also be placed on any certificate representing
ANB securities issued subsequent to the original issuance of the
ANB Common Stock pursuant to the Merger as a result of any
transfer of such shares or any stock dividend, stock split, or
other recapitalization as long as the ANB Common Stock issued to
the undersigned pursuant to the Merger has not been transferred
in such manner to justify the removal of the legend therefrom.
Upon the request of the undersigned, ANB shall cause the
certificates representing the shares of ANB Common Stock issued
to the undersigned in connection with the Merger to be reissued
free of any legend relating to restrictions on transfer by virtue
of ASR 130 and 135 as soon as practicable after the requirements
of ASR 130 and 135 have been met. In addition, if the provisions
of Rules 144 and 145 are amended to eliminate restrictions
applicable to the ANB Common Stock received by the undersigned
pursuant to the Merger, or at the expiration of the restrictive
period set forth in Rule 145(d), ANB, upon the request of the
undersigned, will cause the certificates representing the shares
of ANB Common Stock issued to the undersigned in connection with
the Merger to be reissued free of any legend relating to the
restrictions set forth in Rules 144 and 145(d) upon receipt by
ANB of an opinion of its counsel to the effect that such legend
may be removed.
5. Understanding of Restrictions on Dispositions. The
undersigned has carefully read the Agreement and this Affiliate
Agreement and discussed their requirements and impact upon the
undersigned's ability to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of
the shares of ANB Common Stock received by the undersigned, to
the extent the undersigned believes necessary, with the
undersigned's counsel or counsel for Mutual.
6. Filing of Reports by ANB. ANB agrees, for a period of
three years after the effective time of the Merger, to file on a
timely basis all reports required to be filed by it pursuant to
Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, so
that the public information provisions of Rule 145(d) promulgated
by the SEC as the same are presently in effect will be available
to the undersigned in the event the undersigned desires to
transfer any shares of ANB Common Stock issued to the undersigned
pursuant to the Merger.
7. Transfer Under Rule 145(d). If the undersigned desires
to sell or otherwise transfer the shares of ANB Common Stock
received by the undersigned in connection with the Merger at any
time during the restrictive period set forth in Rule 145(d), the
undersigned will provide the necessary representation letter to
the transfer agent for ANB Common Stock together with such
additional information as the transfer agent may reasonably
request. If ANB's counsel concludes that such proposed sale or
transfer complies with the requirements of Rule 145(d), ANB shall
cause such counsel to provide such opinions as may be necessary
to ANB's transfer agent so that the undersigned may complete the
proposed sale or transfer.
8. Acknowledgments. The undersigned recognizes and agrees
that the foregoing provisions also apply to all shares of the
capital stock of Mutual and ANB that are deemed to be
beneficially owned by the undersigned pursuant to applicable
federal securities laws, which the undersigned agrees may
include, without limitation, shares owned or held in the name of
(i) the undersigned's spouse, (ii) any relative of the
undersigned or of the undersigned's spouse who has the same home
as the undersigned, (iii) any trust or estate in which the

similar capacity, and (iv) any corporation or other organization
in which the undersigned, the undersigned's spouse, and any such

or officer of ANB or becomes a director or officer of ANB upon
consummation of the Merger, among other things, any sale of ANB
Common Stock by the undersigned within a period of less than six
months following the effective time of the Mergers may subject
the undersigned to liability pursuant to Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

6. The Agreement and the Plan of Merger have been duly
and validly executed and delivered by Mutual and, assuming valid
authorization, execution, and delivery by ANB, constitute valid
and binding agreements of Mutual enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar Laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or the
right of creditors of an insured depository institution or by
general equity principles, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law
and, provided, however, that we express no opinion as to the
