NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
TRANSACTIONS AND TERMS OF MERGER

1.1 Merger.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Touchstone shall be merged with and into FXNC pursuant to and with the effect provided in Section 13.1-721 of the VSCA, and FXNC shall be the Surviving Corporation resulting from the Merger and shall continue to be governed by the Laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Merger shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which has been approved and adopted by the respective Boards of Directors of FXNC and Touchstone.

1.2 Time and Place of Closing.

The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) will take place at 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on the date that the Effective Time occurs, or at such other time as the Parties, acting through their authorized officers, may mutually agree. The Closing shall be held at such location as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties and may be effected by electronic or other transmission of signature pages, as mutually agreed upon.

1.3 Effective Time.

The Merger shall become effective on the date and time the Articles of Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) reflecting the Merger shall be filed and become effective with the Commonwealth of Virginia State Corporation Commission (the “Effective Time”). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by an authorized officer of each Party, the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the Effective Time to occur within ten business days after (or, if FXNC or Touchstone elects, on the first day of the first month after) the last of the conditions set forth in Article 8 of this Agreement have been satisfied or waived in writing (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof).

1.4 Restructure of Transactions.

FXNC shall have the right to revise the structure of the Merger contemplated by this Agreement by merging Touchstone with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of FXNC, provided, that no such revision to the structure of the Merger shall be made if such revision would (i) result in any changes in the amount or type of the consideration which the holders of shares of Touchstone Stock or shares underlying Touchstone Restricted Stock Awards are entitled to receive under this Agreement, (ii) unreasonably impede or delay consummation of the Merger, (iii) impose any less favorable terms or conditions on Touchstone or Touchstone Bank, or (iv) cause the transaction not to qualify as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code. FXNC may request such revision by giving written notice to Touchstone in the manner provided in Section 10.8, which notice shall be in the form of an amendment to this Agreement or in the form of an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, and the addition of such other Exhibits hereto as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect such change. Touchstone will take any reasonable actions necessary to implement such change.

1.5 Bank Merger.

Concurrently with or as soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, First Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of FXNC, and Touchstone Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Touchstone, shall enter into the Bank Agreement of Merger, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such changes thereto as FXNC or Touchstone may mutually agree, pursuant to which Touchstone Bank will merge with and into First Bank (the “Bank Merger”). The Parties intend that the Bank Merger will become effective simultaneously with or immediately following the Effective Time.

ARTICLE 2
TERMS OF MERGER

2.1 Articles of Incorporation.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the approval of holders of FXNC Common Stock, to the extent such approval is required by applicable Law, the Articles of Incorporation of FXNC shall be amended to increase the number of authorized shares of FXNC Common Stock from 8,000,000 to 16,000,000 shares (the “Articles Amendment”). The Articles of Incorporation of FXNC in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, as amended as set forth in this Section 2.1, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until otherwise duly amended or repealed.

2.2 Bylaws.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Bylaws of FXNC shall be amended to increase the size of the FXNC Board of Directors as necessary to allow for the appointment of the Continuing Directors pursuant to Section 7.12. The Bylaws of FXNC in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, as amended as set forth in this Section 2.2, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until otherwise duly amended or repealed.

2.3 Directors and Officers.

The directors of FXNC in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with the Continuing Directors appointed pursuant to Section 7.12 and such additional persons as may thereafter be elected, shall serve as the directors of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be a director. The officers of FXNC in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with such additional individuals as may thereafter be appointed, shall serve as the officers of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Bylaws, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be an officer.

ARTICLE 3
MANNER OF CONVERTING SHARES

3.1 Effect on Touchstone Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, in each case subject to Section 3.1(d), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties, each share of Touchstone Stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each share of Touchstone Series A Preferred Stock) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Touchstone Stock owned by holders of Touchstone Stock properly exercising their appraisal rights pursuant to Sections 13.1-730 through 13.1-741 of the VSCA (the “Dissenter Shares”)) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of FXNC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.6 (the “Merger Consideration”). The “Exchange Ratio” shall be 0.8122 shares of FXNC Common Stock per one share of Touchstone Stock.

(b) At the Effective Time, all shares of Touchstone Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and, with the exception of the Dissenter Shares and the Excluded Shares, each certificate or non-certificate shares (the “Touchstone Book-Entry Shares”) previously representing any such shares of Touchstone Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(c) If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Touchstone Stock or the outstanding shares of FXNC Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, or if a record date prior to the Effective Time has been established with respect to any such change in capitalization, then an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Merger Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, no such adjustment shall be made as a result of FXNC’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

(d) Each share of Touchstone Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries (in each case other than shares of Touchstone Stock held on behalf of third parties or as a result of debts previously contracted) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration, and shall cease to exist (the “Excluded Shares”).

3.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) On the Closing Date, FXNC shall make available to the exchange agent selected by FXNC and reasonably acceptable to Touchstone (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with this Section 3.2, the Merger Consideration. In addition, FXNC shall make available to the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time at or after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 3.2(f). All Merger Consideration and dividends and distributions made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” In the event the cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made by the Exchange Agent hereunder (including pursuant to Section 3.6), FXNC shall promptly make available to the Exchange Agent the amounts so required to satisfy such payment obligations in full. The Exchange Agent shall deliver the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by this Section 3.2, the Exchange Fund will not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Unless different timing is agreed to by FXNC and Touchstone, not later than 20 days prior to the anticipated Effective Time, FXNC shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the holders of Touchstone Stock appropriate transmittal materials. The letter of transmittal shall provide instructions for the submission of certificates, if applicable, representing shares of Touchstone Stock (or an indemnity satisfactory to FXNC and the Exchange Agent, if any of such certificates are lost, stolen, or destroyed), or instructions as to the Touchstone Book-Entry Shares, to each holder of record of shares of Touchstone Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time. The Exchange Agent may establish such other reasonable and customary rules and procedures in connection with its duties as it may deem appropriate. FXNC shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the distribution of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.1. Holders of Touchstone Stock will be responsible for all charges and expenses associated with replacing any lost, mutilated, stolen, or destroyed certificates, including any indemnity bond expenses, as described in Section 3.2(c). FXNC or the Exchange Agent will maintain a book entry list of FXNC Common Stock to which each holder of Touchstone Stock is entitled. Certificates representing FXNC Common Stock into which Touchstone Stock has been converted will not be issued.

(c) After receipt of the transmittal materials from the Exchange Agent, each holder of shares of Touchstone Stock (other than Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding shall surrender any certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Exchange Agent, if any, together with duly executed transmittal materials provided by the Exchange Agent, and shall promptly after the Effective Time, or the surrender of such shares of Touchstone Stock (or an indemnity satisfactory to Touchstone, FXNC and the Exchange Agent, if any of such certificates are lost, stolen, or destroyed) if later, the Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration provided in Section 3.1 (and any unpaid dividends or distributions thereon), without interest, pursuant to this Section 3.2. Any certificate or certificates of Touchstone Stock so surrendered shall be duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require. FXNC shall not be obligated to deliver the consideration to which any former holder of Touchstone Stock is entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders any of such holder’s certificate or certificates for exchange (or an indemnity satisfactory to Touchstone, FXNC and the Exchange Agent, if any of such certificates are lost, stolen, or destroyed) as provided in this Section 3.3.

In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Touchstone Stock represented by one or more certificates that are not registered in the transfer records of Touchstone, the Merger Consideration payable for such shares as provided in Sections 3.1 may be issued to a transferee if the certificate or certificates representing such shares are delivered to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence such transfer and by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Exchange Agent that such transfer is proper and that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

In the event any certificate representing Touchstone Stock shall have been lost, mutilated, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, mutilated, stolen, or destroyed and the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, mutilated, stolen, or destroyed certificate the Merger Consideration as provided for in Section 3.1 (together with any unpaid dividends or distributions with respect thereto).

Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither any FXNC Entity, nor any Touchstone Entity, nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of Touchstone Stock for any amounts paid or properly delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Law.

(d) Each of FXNC and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Touchstone Stock and shares underlying Touchstone Restricted Stock Awards such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local, or foreign Tax Law or by any Taxing Authority or Governmental Authority. FXNC and/or the Exchange Agent shall timely remit such deducted and withheld amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority or Governmental Authority. FXNC shall be responsible for, and shall pay, any penalty or interest arising from failure to timely remit such amounts. To the extent that any amounts are so withheld by FXNC or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Touchstone Stock, as applicable in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by FXNC or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration and cash delivered to the Exchange Agent by FXNC pursuant to Section 3.2(a) that remains unclaimed by the holder of shares of Touchstone Stock for one year after the Effective Time (as well as any proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to FXNC. Any holder of shares of Touchstone Stock who has not theretofore complied with Section 3.2(b) shall thereafter look only to FXNC for the consideration and any unpaid dividends or distributions deliverable in respect of each share of Touchstone Stock such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement without any interest thereon. If outstanding certificates for shares of Touchstone Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of FXNC 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 FXNC (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. FXNC and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of Touchstone 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 or certificates, FXNC 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.

(f) No dividends or other distributions with respect to FXNC Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Touchstone Stock with respect to the shares, if any, of FXNC Common Stock represented thereby, in each case unless and until the surrender of such certificate (or an indemnity satisfactory to FXNC and the Exchange Agent, if any of such certificates are lost, stolen, or destroyed) in accordance with this Section 3.2. Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, following surrender of any such certificate in accordance with this Section 3.2, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable and that have not been paid with respect to the whole shares of FXNC Common Stock into which the shares of Touchstone Stock represented by such certificate are converted and/or (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of the FXNC Common Stock payable with respect to whole shares of FXNC Common Stock into which the shares of Touchstone Stock represented by such certificate are converted.

(g) Approval of this Agreement by the holders of Touchstone Stock shall constitute ratification of the appointment of the Exchange Agent.

3.3 Effect on FXNC Common Stock.

At and after the Effective Time, each share of FXNC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be affected by the Merger.

3.4 Touchstone Restricted Stock.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the Effective Time, each Touchstone Restricted Stock Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, fully vest (with any performance-based vesting condition applicable to such Touchstone Restricted Stock Award deemed to have been achieved to the extent set forth in the award agreement applicable to such Touchstone Restricted Stock Award) and be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and FXNC shall treat the shares of Touchstone Common Stock underlying the Touchstone Restricted Stock Award in the same manner as all other shares of Touchstone Stock for such purposes.

(b) Touchstone’s Board of Directors or its compensation committee shall make any adjustments or amendments to or make such determinations with respect to the Touchstone Restricted Stock Awards necessary to affect the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4.

3.5 Rights of Former Touchstone Shareholders.

At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Touchstone shall be closed as to holders of Touchstone Stock and no transfer of Touchstone Stock by any holder of such shares shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2, each certificate theretofore representing shares of Touchstone Stock (other than certificates representing Excluded Shares), shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, as provided in Article 3.

3.6 Fractional Shares.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Touchstone Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger, who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of FXNC Common Stock (after taking into account all shares delivered by such holder), shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of FXNC Common Stock multiplied by the Average FXNC Stock Price. No such holder will be entitled to dividends, voting rights, or any other rights as a shareholder in respect of any fractional shares.

3.7 Dissenting Shareholders.

Any holder of shares of Touchstone Stock who perfects such holder’s appraisal rights in accordance with and as contemplated by Sections 13.1-730 through 13.1-741 of the VSCA shall be entitled to receive from the FXNC, in lieu of the Merger Consideration, the value of such shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in cash as determined pursuant to such provision of Law; provided, that no such payment shall be made to any dissenting shareholder unless and until such dissenting shareholder has complied with all applicable provisions of such Law, and surrendered to Touchstone the shares of Touchstone Stock for which payment is being made, including any certificate or certificates representing such shares. In the event that, after the Effective Time, a dissenting shareholder of Touchstone fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal of and payment for such holder’s Dissenter Shares, FXNC shall deliver to such holder of shares of Touchstone Stock the Merger Consideration (without interest) in respect of such shares upon surrender by such holder of such shares of Touchstone Stock, including any certificate or certificates representing such shares.

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF TOUCHSTONE

Touchstone represents and warrants to FXNC, except as set forth on the Touchstone Disclosure Memorandum with respect to each such Section below, that the statements contained in the following ARTICLE 4 are correct as of the date of this Agreement and will be correct as of the Closing Date (as though made then and as though the Closing Date were substituted for the date of this Agreement throughout this ARTICLE 4), except as to any representation or warranty which specifically relates to an earlier date, which only need be correct as of such earlier date:

4.1 Organization, Standing, and Power.

Touchstone is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHCA”), duly registered and in good standing with the Federal Reserve. Touchstone Bank is a banking corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Each of Touchstone and Touchstone Bank have the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own, lease, and operate its Assets. Except as described on Section 4.1 of the Touchstone Disclosure Memorandum, neither Touchstone, Touchstone Bank nor any Touchstone Subsidiary, exercises trust powers or acts as an investment advisor, broker-dealer, or insurance agency. Touchstone is duly qualified or licensed to transact business as a foreign corporation in good standing in the states of the United States and foreign jurisdictions where the character of its Assets or the nature or conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified or licensed, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed is not reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Touchstone Material Adverse Effect. The minute book and other organizational documents for each of Touchstone and Touchstone Bank have been made available to FXNC for its review and are true and complete in all material respects as in effect as of the date of this Agreement and accurately reflect in all material respects all amendments thereto and all meetings of the Board of Directors (including any committees of the Board of Directors) and shareholders thereof. Touchstone Bank is an “insured institution” as defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and applicable regulations thereunder, and the deposits held by Touchstone Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund.

4.2 Authority of Touchstone; No Breach by Agreement.

(a) Touchstone has the corporate power and authority necessary to execute and deliver this Agreement and, subject to any necessary approvals referred to in Sections 8.1(b) and 8.1(c) and the approval by holders of Touchstone Stock of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and the VSCA, to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

No Tax under Code Sections 4980B or 5000 has been incurred with respect to any Touchstone Benefit Plan, or other plan or arrangement, and, to Touchstone’s Knowledge, no circumstance exists which could give rise to such Taxes. Touchstone has maintained records that are sufficient to satisfy the reporting requirements under Section 6055 and 6056 of the Code, to the extent required, for all periods of time up to and through the Closing Date.

(j) Except as disclosed in Section 4.15(j) of the Touchstone Disclosure Memorandum, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, or otherwise) becoming due from any Touchstone Entity under any Touchstone Benefit Plan or otherwise, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Touchstone Benefit Plan, or (iii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefit, or any benefit under any life insurance owned by any Touchstone Entity or the rights of any Touchstone Entity in, to or under any insurance on the life of any current or former officer, director, or employee of any Touchstone Entity, or change any rights or obligations of any Touchstone Entity with respect to such insurance.

Except as disclosed in Section 4.15(m) of the Touchstone Disclosure Memorandum, no Touchstone Benefit Plan is a multiple employer plan (within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code) or a multiple employer welfare arrangement (as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA) and no such plan is self-funded or self-insured.

(n) Except as disclosed in Section 4.15(n) of the Touchstone Disclosure Memorandum, there are no payments or changes in terms due to any insured person as a result of this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated herein, under any bank-owned, corporate-owned split dollar life insurance, other life insurance, or similar arrangement or Contract, and the Successor Corporation shall, upon and after the Effective Time, succeed to and have all the rights in, to and under such life insurance Contracts as Touchstone presently holds.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

7.1 Shareholder Approvals.

(a) Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Touchstone shall submit to its shareholders this Agreement and any other matters required to be adopted or approved by shareholders in order to carry out the intentions of this Agreement. In furtherance of that obligation, Touchstone shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene, and hold the Touchstone Shareholders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable for the purpose of considering and voting on approval of this Agreement and the transactions provided for in this Agreement. Touchstone’s Board of Directors shall recommend that its shareholders approve this Agreement in accordance with the VSCA (the “Touchstone Recommendation”) and shall include such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus mailed to shareholders of Touchstone, except to the extent Touchstone’s Board of Directors has made an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Sections 7.1(b) and (c) and 7.3, Touchstone shall solicit and use its reasonable efforts to obtain the Requisite Touchstone Shareholder Vote.

(b) Neither Touchstone’s Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall, except as expressly permitted by this Section, (i) withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to FXNC, the Touchstone Recommendation or (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (each, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Requisite Touchstone Shareholder Vote, Touchstone’s Board of Directors may make an Adverse Recommendation Change if and only if:

(i) Touchstone’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Touchstone Financial Advisor and outside counsel, that it has received an Acquisition Proposal (that did not result from a breach of Section 7.3) that constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal;

(ii) Touchstone’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with Xxxxxxxxxx’x outside counsel, that to make or continue to make the Touchstone Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Touchstone and its shareholders under applicable Law;

(iii) Touchstone’s Board of Directors provides written notice (a “Notice of Recommendation Change”) to FXNC of its receipt of the Superior Proposal and its intent to announce an Adverse Recommendation Change on the fifth business day following delivery of such notice, which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and identifying the Person or Group making such Superior Proposal (it being understood that any amendment to any material term of such Acquisition Proposal shall require a new Notice of Recommendation Change, except that, in such case, the five business day period referred to in this clause (iii) and in clauses (iv) and (v) shall be reduced to three business days following the giving of such new Notice of Recommendation Change);

(iv) after providing such Notice of Recommendation Change, Touchstone shall negotiate in good faith with FXNC and provide FXNC reasonable opportunity during the subsequent five business day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Board of Directors of Touchstone to proceed without an Adverse Recommendation Change (provided, however, that FXNC shall not be required to propose any such adjustments); and

(v) Touchstone’s Board of Directors, following such five business day period, again determines in good faith, after consultation with the Touchstone Financial Advisor and outside counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal nonetheless continues to constitute or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal and that to make or continue to make the Touchstone Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Touchstone and its shareholders under applicable Law.

(c) FXNC shall submit to its shareholders this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved by its shareholders in order to carry out the intentions of this Agreement, including the Articles Amendment. In furtherance of that obligation, FXNC shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene, and hold FXNC’s Shareholders’ Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable. The Board of Directors of FXNC shall recommend that its shareholders approve this Agreement and the Articles Amendment in accordance with the rules and regulations of the VSCA and The Nasdaq Stock Market and shall include such recommendations in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. FXNC shall solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite FXNC Shareholder Vote.

7.2 Registration of FXNC Common Stock.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, FXNC shall prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement, which shall include the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and constitute the prospectus relating to the shares of FXNC Common Stock to be issued in the Merger. Touchstone will furnish to FXNC the information required to be included in the Registration Statement with respect to its business and affairs and shall have the right to review and consult with FXNC on the form of, and any characterizations of such information included in, the Registration Statement prior to its being filed with the SEC. FXNC shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared or made effective by the SEC and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. FXNC and Touchstone will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to their respective shareholders as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared or made effective under the Securities Act. FXNC will advise Touchstone, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the FXNC Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to FXNC or Touchstone, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by FXNC or Touchstone which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party hereto and, to the extent required by Law, rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by FXNC with the SEC and disseminated by Touchstone to its shareholders and by FXNC to its shareholders.

(b) FXNC and Touchstone shall also take any action required to be taken under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the Merger and each of FXNC and Touchstone shall furnish all information as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

(c) FXNC shall cause the shares of FXNC Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be authorized for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Effective Time.

In addition to the foregoing, Touchstone shall provide FXNC with at least five business days’ prior written notice of a meeting of Touchstone’s Board of Directors at which meeting Touchstone’s Board of Directors is reasonably expected to resolve to recommend the Acquisition Agreement as a Superior Proposal to its shareholders, and Touchstone shall keep FXNC reasonably informed on a prompt basis, of the status and material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms thereof.

(b) In addition to the obligations of Touchstone set forth in this Section 7.3, as promptly as practicable, after any of the directors or executive officers of Touchstone become aware thereof, Touchstone shall advise FXNC of any request received by Touchstone for nonpublic information which Touchstone reasonably believes could lead to an Acquisition Proposal or of any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or Acquisition Proposal, and the identity of the Person or Group making any such request or Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Touchstone shall, and shall cause its and each Touchstone Entity’s directors, officers, employees, and Representatives to immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions, or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and will use and cause to be used all commercially reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar or related agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

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

Each Party also shall promptly advise the other upon receiving any communication from any Regulatory Authority or other Person whose Consent is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any requisite Consent will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such Consent will be materially delayed.

No investigation by a Party shall affect the ability of such Party to rely on the representations and warranties of the other Party. Between the date hereof and the Effective Time, Touchstone shall permit FXNC’s senior officers and independent auditors to meet with the senior officers of Touchstone, including officers responsible for the Touchstone Financial Statements and the internal controls of Touchstone and Touchstone’s independent auditors, to discuss such matters as FXNC may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate for FXNC to satisfy its obligations under Sections 302, 404 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

(b) In addition to each Party’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.6(a), each Party shall, and shall cause its advisors and agents to, maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information furnished to it by the other Party concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ businesses, operations, and financial positions and shall not use such information for any purpose except in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Prior to the Effective Time, Touchstone and FXNC shall consult with each other as to the form and substance of any press release, communication with shareholders, or other public disclosure materially related to this Agreement, or any other transaction contemplated hereby; provided, that nothing in this Section 7.7 shall be deemed to prohibit any Party from making any disclosure which its counsel deems necessary or advisable in order to satisfy such Party’s disclosure obligations imposed by Law.

7.8 Charter Provisions.

Each Touchstone Entity shall take all necessary action to ensure that the entering into of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not result in the grant of any rights to any Person under the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or other governing instruments of any Touchstone Entity or restrict or impair the ability of FXNC or any of its Subsidiaries to vote, or otherwise to exercise the rights of a shareholder with respect to, shares of any Touchstone Entity that may be directly or indirectly acquired or controlled by them.

(a) (i) All persons who are employees of the Touchstone Entities immediately prior to the Effective Time and whose employment is not terminated, if any, at or prior to the Effective Time (a “Continuing Employee”) shall, at the Effective Time, become at-will employees of the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that in no event shall any of the employees of the Touchstone Entities be officers of FXNC or First Bank, or have or exercise any power or duty conferred upon such an officer, unless and until duly elected or appointed to such position by the Board of Directors of FXNC or First Bank and in accordance with the Bylaws of FXNC or First Bank. All of the Continuing Employees shall be employed at the will of First Bank, and no contractual right to employment shall inure to such employees because of this Agreement except as may be otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(ii) If a Touchstone employee (who is not individually a party to an employment agreement with Touchstone) is terminated by FXNC or First Bank (or by Touchstone at the request of FXNC or First Bank) for reasons other than for “cause” (as defined below) or who resigns for “good reason” (as defined below) at the Effective Time or during the period from the Effective Time until 12 months after the Effective Time, then FXNC or First Bank shall pay severance to such Touchstone employee, subject to such Touchstone employee’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to FXNC. The severance pay to be provided under this provision shall equal to two weeks of base salary for each 12 months of such Touchstone employee’s prior employment with Touchstone and the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that in no event will the total amount of severance for any single Touchstone employee be greater than twenty-six weeks of such base salary nor less than four weeks of such base salary. For purposes of this Section 7.9(a)(ii), “cause” shall mean a termination due to the employee’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of a fiduciary duty involving personal profit, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses), conviction of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or misappropriation of First Bank’s assets (determined on a reasonable basis). For purposes of this Section 7.9(a)(ii), “good reason” shall mean an offer of employment from FXNC, or a change by FXNC in employment terms, reflecting a reduction in the Touchstone employee’s base salary that was applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time or a requirement to work (on more than an incidental basis) at a location more than 35 miles from such employee’s work location immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) As of the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee shall be eligible to participate in each of FXNC’s Employee Benefit Plans with full credit for prior service with or credited by Touchstone solely for purposes of eligibility and vesting and, with respect to FXNC’s PTO policies, for purposes of current year (but not annual carryover) accrual of benefits, except to the extent described in Section 7.9(b) of the Touchstone Disclosure Memorandum.

(c) As of the Effective Time and to the extent of eligibility in a FXNC Employee Benefit Plan, FXNC shall make available employer-provided benefits under FXNC Employee Benefit Plans to each Continuing Employee on the same basis as it provides such coverage to FXNC or First Bank employees; provided that, absent eligibility in an FXNC Employee Benefit Plan as of the Effective Time, the comparable Touchstone Benefit Plan shall continue in effect until eligibility in the applicable FXNC Employee Benefit Plan commences. With respect to FXNC Employee Benefit Plans providing health coverage, FXNC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any pre-existing condition, eligibility waiting period, or other limitations or exclusions otherwise applicable under such plans to new employees not to apply to a Continuing Employee or their covered dependents who were covered under a similar Touchstone plan at the Effective Time of the Merger. In addition, if any such transition occurs during the middle of a plan year, FXNC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such successor FXNC Employee Benefit Plan providing health coverage to give credit towards satisfaction of any annual deductible limitation and out-of-pocket maximum applied under such successor plan for any deductible, co-payment and other cost-sharing amounts previously paid by a Continuing Employee respecting his or her participation in the corresponding Touchstone Employee Benefit Plan during that plan year prior to the transition effective date.

(d) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Xxxxx X. Xxxxx shall enter into an employment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, which shall become effective only upon the Effective Time of the Merger.

(e) On or by the Effective Time of the Merger, each Touchstone officer identified on Section 7.9(e) of the Touchstone Disclosure Memorandum shall enter into a settlement agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(f) Touchstone shall cause each of Touchstone’s executive officers and directors to execute and deliver a Touchstone Officers and Directors Agreement dated as of the date hereof (and which shall be effective as of the Effective Time) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. FXNC shall cause each of FXNC’s executive officers and directors to execute and deliver a FXNC Officers and Directors Agreement dated as of the date hereof (and which shall be effective as of the Effective Time) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.

(g) No officer, employee, or other Person (other than the corporate Parties to this Agreement) shall be deemed a third party or other beneficiary of this Agreement, and no such Person shall have any right or other entitlement to enforce any provision of this Agreement or seek any remedy in connection with this Agreement, except as may be expressly set forth in Section 7.11. No provision of this Agreement constitutes or shall be deemed to constitute, an Employee Benefit Plan or other arrangement, an amendment of any Employee Benefit Plan or other arrangement, or any provision of any Employee Benefit Plan or other arrangement.

(h) No provision of this Agreement (i) constitutes or shall be deemed to constitute, an employee benefit plan or other arrangement, an amendment of any employee benefit plan or other arrangement, or any provision of any employee benefit plan or other arrangement or (ii) provide any right or entitlements to any employee or other third party.

(i) Upon not less than thirty days’ notice prior to the Closing Date from FXNC to Touchstone, Touchstone shall cause the termination, amendment or other appropriate modification of each Touchstone Benefit Plan as specified by FXNC in such notice such that no Touchstone Entity shall sponsor or otherwise have any further Liability thereunder in connection with such applicable Touchstone Benefit Plans, effective as of the date which immediately precedes the Closing Date. Upon such action, participants in such applicable Touchstone Benefit Plans that are Touchstone ERISA Plans shall be 100% vested in their account balances. With respect to each such Touchstone Benefit Plan which provides for a “cash or deferred arrangement” pursuant to Code Section 401(k) (each, a “401(k) Plan”), (i) prior to the Closing Date, the appropriate Board of Directors among the Touchstone Entities shall adopt resolutions terminating each 401(k) Plan effective as of the date which immediately precedes the date which includes the Effective Time (the “Termination Date”), (ii) prior to each 401(k) Plan’s termination under “(i),” immediately above, Touchstone shall cause each 401(k) Plan to adopt all amendments, including amendments and restatements, of each document evidencing each 401(k) Plan, as may be necessary to maintain each 401(k) Plan’s compliance with Code Section 401(a) and other applicable provisions of the Code pursuant to such termination, and (iii) as of the Termination Date, Touchstone shall cause each 401(k) Plan to proceed with implementing the process of distributing each 401(k) Plan’s account balances to participants. FXNC or First Bank shall cause its Employee Benefit Plan which provides for a “cash or deferred arrangement” pursuant to Code Section 401(k) to accept direct rollovers from any 401(k) Plan described in the preceding sentence, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to permit direct rollover of a participant plan loan.

7.10 Section 16 Matters.

Prior to the Effective Time, FXNC shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any acquisitions of FXNC Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to FXNC Common Stock) by each individual who, immediately following the Merger, will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to FXNC, resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to be exempt from liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, FXNC shall purchase, or shall direct Touchstone to purchase, a prepaid extended reporting period endorsement under Touchstone’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (“Touchstone D&O Policy”) (or, if such extended endorsement coverage is not available, or is not available on reasonable terms, for the requisite period of time, such additional policy or policies as shall be necessary to provide coverage for such period of time) for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time by such directors and officers currently covered by the Touchstone D&O Policy. The directors and officers of Touchstone shall take all reasonable actions required by the insurance carrier necessary to procure such endorsement (or additional policy or policies). Such endorsement (or additional policy or policies) shall provide such directors and officers with coverage following the Effective Time for six years.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 7.11, upon learning of any such Liability or Litigation, shall promptly notify FXNC and the Surviving Corporation thereof. In the event of any such Litigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) FXNC or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and neither FXNC nor the Surviving Corporation shall 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 FXNC or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are substantive issues which raise conflicts of interest between FXNC or the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and FXNC or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in good faith in the defense of any such Litigation; and (iii) neither FXNC nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent and which does not provide for a complete and irrevocable release of all FXNC Entities and their respective directors, officers, and controlling persons, employees, agents, and Representatives; and provided, that neither FXNC nor the Surviving Corporation shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(d) If FXNC or the Surviving Corporation or any successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of FXNC or the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.11.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.11 are intended to be for the benefit of, shall be enforceable by, and may not be modified without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party and their respective heirs and legal and personal representatives.

TERMS OF AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises and undertakings of the parties as hereinafter set forth, the parties covenant and agree as follows:

Section 1. Employment. (a) Employee shall be employed as Executive Vice President, South Region President of First Bank. He shall perform such services for the Employer and/or one or more Affiliates as may be assigned to Employee by the Employer’s Chief Executive Officer from time to time upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

(b) References in this Agreement to services rendered for the Employer and compensation and benefits payable or provided by the Employer shall include services rendered for and compensation and benefits payable or provided by any Affiliate. References in this Agreement to the “Employer” also shall mean and refer to each Affiliate for which Employee performs services. References in this Agreement to “Affiliate” shall mean any business entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, is partially owned or controlled by the Corporation.

Section 2. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period ending on December 31, 2026; provided, however, that on December 31^st of each year following December 31, 2024, the term of this Agreement shall be extended for one year such that the remaining term is two years (each such extended term, a “Subsequent Term”). At any time, however, either party may notify the other in writing that the term of this Agreement shall no longer be extended and that this Agreement will terminate at the end of the Subsequent Term then in effect after the effective date of such notice. If either party provides timely notice of non-renewal of the Agreement, but the Employee continues to provide services to the Employer as an employee, such post-expiration employment shall be deemed to be performed on an “at-will” basis and either party may thereafter terminate such employment with or without notice and for any or no reason and without any obligations determined by reference to this Agreement.

Section 3. Exclusive Service. Employee shall devote his best efforts and full time to rendering services on behalf of the Employer in furtherance of its best interests. Employee shall comply with all policies, standards and regulations of the Employer now or hereafter promulgated, and shall perform his duties under this Agreement to the best of his abilities and in accordance with standards of conduct applicable to executive officers of banks.

B-2

Section 4. Salary. (a) As compensation while employed hereunder, Employee, during his faithful performance of this Agreement, in whatever capacity rendered, shall receive an annual base salary of $325,000 payable on such terms and in such installments as the parties may from time to time mutually agree upon. The Chief Executive Officer, in his discretion, may increase Employee’s base salary during the term of this Agreement; provided, however, that Employee’s salary after being increased may not be decreased.

(b) The Employer shall withhold state and federal income taxes, social security taxes and such other payroll deductions as may from time to time be required by law or agreed upon in writing by Employee and the Employer. The Employer shall also withhold and remit to the proper party any amounts agreed to in writing by the Employer and Employee for participation in any corporate sponsored benefit plans for which a contribution is required.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly set forth hereunder, no compensation shall be paid pursuant to this Agreement in respect of any month or portion thereof subsequent to any termination of Employee’s employment by the Employer.

Section 5. Corporate Benefit Plans. Employee shall be entitled to participate in or become a participant in any employee benefit plan maintained by the Employer for which he is or will become eligible on such terms as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, establish, modify or otherwise change.

Section 6. Incentive Compensation. Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Corporation’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan and to receive such bonuses (in an annual amount of up to 30% of his Base Salary) as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, decides to pay to Employee under such plan to the extent Employee is employed as of the last day of the performance year, except as otherwise provided in Section 10(d)(iii). Employee shall be also eligible to participate in the Corporation’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (or any successor equity plans, collectively the “Equity Plan”) and to receive such awards as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, decides to award to Employee under such plan, including, but not limited to (a) 2,300 restricted stock units to be awarded to Employee within 45 days after the Effective Date, 50% of which vest on the award date and the remaining 50% vests on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, (b) 2,300 restricted stock units to be awarded on the first anniversary of the Effective Date 50% of which vest on the award date and the remaining 50% vests on the second anniversary of the Effective Date and (c) beginning on January 1, 2026, restricted stock units annually thereafter in an amount equal to 10% of his Base Salary, subject to Employer’s then-customary vesting schedule for senior executives.

If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause or terminated by the Employee with Good Reason or upon the Employer’s notice to Employee that this Agreement will not be renewed, any then unvested restricted stock units previously awarded to Employee under Section 6(a) or 6(b) above shall fully vest at such employment termination date or such nonrenewal notice date, as applicable.

B-3

Conversion and Integration Bonus. In compensation for Employee’s acceptance and performance during the Term of additional duties and responsibilities assigned to Employee in connection with the conversion of the core processing and other systems of Touchstone Bank to those of First Bank and the integration of Touchstone Bank’s operations into those of First Bank as further described below, First Bank shall pay to Employee on the first anniversary of the Effective Date a cash bonus of up to $100,000 and commensurate with the agreed upon scope of these additional services as described below, less required tax withholdings (the “Integration and Conversion Bonus”). The Integration and Conversion Bonus is in addition to and not in lieu of potential annual bonuses under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. To the extent the Employee accepts these additional duties, failure to satisfy any or all of the duties related to the Conversion and Integration Bonus shall not constitute a rationale for a with Cause termination, but rather shall only determine eligibility for and/or the amount of the Conversion and Integration Bonus, if any, as the Board shall determine in its discretion.

Integration and Conversion Services

During the period immediately following the Effective Date, the Employee will have additional duties and responsibilities assigned to Employee in connection with the integration of Touchstone Bank’s operations and employees into those of First Bank as well as, secondarily, with the conversion of the core processing and other systems of the Touchstone Bank to those of First Bank. During this period, Employee will complete an evaluation for First Bank of mutually agreed upon Touchstone Bank client banking relationships to determine which of Touchstone Bank’s clients would benefit from different or additional products and services provided by First Bank and engage with those Touchstone Bank clients as requested by First Bank relating to such offerings. During this period, Employee will engage those Touchstone Bank employees retained by First Bank and mutually agreed upon to insure they are meeting the expectations of First Bank and insure those employees are expanding current relationships and developing new banking relationships with First Bank customer prospects.

Section 7. Expense Account. The Employer shall reimburse Employee for reasonable and customary business expenses incurred in the conduct of the Employer’s business. Such expenses will include business meals, out-of-town lodging and travel expenses. Employee agrees to timely submit records and receipts of reimbursable items and agrees that the Employer can adopt reasonable rules and policies regarding such reimbursement. The Employer agrees to make prompt payment to Employee following receipt and verification of such reports. Such payment shall be made no later than March 15 following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.

Section 8. Automobile. The Employer shall provide the Employee with an automobile either owned or leased by the Employer of a make and model appropriate to the Employee’s status and approved by the Employer’s Chief Executive Officer.

Section 9. Paid Time Off. Employee shall be entitled each fiscal year to paid time off, which shall be granted on a noncumulative basis from year-to-year pursuant to Employer’s paid time off policy. Employer reserves the right to modify this and any other personnel policy from time to time. Any payments made by Employer to Employee as compensation for paid time off shall be paid in accordance with Employer’s standard payroll procedures.

B-4

Section 10. Termination. (a) Notwithstanding the termination of Employee’s employment pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the parties shall be required to carry out any provisions of this Agreement which contemplate performance by them subsequent to such termination. In addition, no termination shall affect any liability or other obligation of either party which shall have accrued prior to such termination, including, but not limited to, any liability, loss or damage on account of breach. No termination of employment shall terminate the obligation of the Employer to make payments of any vested benefits provided hereunder or the obligations of Employee under Sections 11, 12 and 13. For purposes of this Agreement, “Terminate,” “terminated,” “termination,” or “termination of the Employee’s employment” shall mean separation from service as defined by Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h).

(b) Employee’s employment hereunder may be terminated by Employee upon 30 days written notice to the Employer or at any time by mutual agreement in writing. Employee may voluntarily terminate his employment under this Agreement for Good Reason (as defined below) and be entitled to receive the compensation and other benefits set forth in Section 4(d) provided he signs a Release and it becomes effective within 30 days after the date of his termination. Employee must provide written notice to the Employer of the existence of the event or condition constituting such Good Reason within 90 days of the initial occurrence of the event or condition alleged to constitute Good Reason. Upon delivery of such notice by Employee, the Employer shall have a period of 30 days during which it may remedy in good faith the event or condition constituting Good Reason, and Employee’s employment shall continue in effect during such time so long as the Employer is making diligent efforts to cure. In the event the Employer shall remedy in good faith the event or condition constituting Good Reason, then such notice of termination shall be null and void, and the Employer shall not be required to pay the amount due to Employee under this Section 4(b). In the event Employer does not remedy the condition constituting Good Reason within the 30-day cure period, Employee shall resign no later than 180 days following the initial existence of the condition.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10(c), this Agreement shall terminate upon the death of Employee. In such event the Employer shall pay to the estate of Employee the compensation including salary and accrued bonus, if any, which otherwise would be payable to Employee through the end of the month in which his death occurs. In addition, Employee’s death is not intended to, and shall not, prevent amounts to which Employee would have been entitled under Sections 10(d)(2) or 10(i) had he lived from being paid under this Agreement to Employee’s estate or beneficiaries at the time or times such amounts would have been paid had Employee lived.

(d)(1) The Employer may terminate Employee’s employment other than for “Cause,” as defined in Section 10(e), at any time upon written notice to Employee, which termination shall be effective immediately.

(2) If the Employer terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause or the Employee terminates with Good Reason then, provided Employee has timely executed and not revoked the Release of Claims described in Section 10(j) below:

(i) For the remainder of the Term or Subsequent Term, as applicable, as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the Employer shall continue to pay, at such times as payment was theretofore made, the salary required under Section 4 (taking into account any salary increases) that the Employee would have been entitled to receive had such termination not occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such termination occurs within one year after a Change of Control (as defined below), the Employee shall be eligible to receive the amount set forth in Section 10(i) instead of any amounts described in Section 10(d)(2).

B-5

(ii) The Employee may continue participation, in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefits plans, in the Employer’s group health plan pursuant to plan continuation rules under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”). In accordance with COBRA, assuming the Employee is covered under the Employer’s group health plan as of his date of termination, the Employee will be entitled to elect COBRA continuation coverage for the legally required COBRA period (the “Continuation Period”). If the Employee elects COBRA coverage for group health coverage, he will be obligated to pay the portion of the full COBRA cost of the coverage equal to an active employee’s share of premiums for coverage for the respective plan year and the Employer’s share of such premiums shall be treated as taxable income to the Employee. Notwithstanding the above, the Employer’s obligations hereunder with respect to the foregoing benefits provided in this subsection (ii) shall be limited to the extent that if the Employee obtains any coverage pursuant to a subsequent employer’s benefit plans which duplicates the Employer’s coverage, the duplicative coverage may be terminated by the Employer; and

(iii) The Employee shall receive a payment in cash on the date his employment terminates equal to the amount of any cash bonus, not including the Integration and Conversion Bonus, paid to him in respect of the fiscal year of the Employer (or his predecessor employer) prior to the fiscal year in which his employment terminates, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse before the date his employment terminates in the fiscal year of the Employer in which his employment terminates and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365).

(3) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Employee breaches Section 11 or 12, Employee will not thereafter be entitled to receive any further compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 10(d). In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Employer shall not be required to make any payment that is prohibited by the terms of the regulations presently found at 12 C.F.R. part 359 or to the extent that any other governmental approval of the payment required by law is not received.

(e) The Employer shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause, which termination shall be effective immediately. Termination for “Cause” shall include termination due to his personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of a fiduciary duty involving personal profit, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses), conviction of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, misappropriation of the Employer’s assets (determined on a reasonable basis) or those of its Affiliates, or material breach of any other provision of this Agreement. Termination for Cause also shall include termination as a result of the Employee’s failure to correct a material deficiency in the performance of his duties within 60 days after a written notice from the Employer or such other reasonable period of time specified by the Employer if such deficiency cannot be cured within 60 days. Any notice given under this subsection shall state that it is a notice pursuant to Section 10(e) of this Agreement and shall set forth the Employer’s complaints in detail sufficient to allow Employee to understand and correct them. In the event Employee’s employment under this Agreement is terminated for Cause, Employee shall thereafter have no right to receive compensation or other benefits under this Agreement.

B-6

(f) The Employer may terminate Employee’s employment under this Agreement, after having established the Employee’s disability by giving to Employee written notice of its intention to terminate his employment for disability and his employment with the Employer shall terminate effective on the 90th day after receipt of such notice if within 90 days after such receipt Employee shall fail to return to the full-time performance of the essential functions of his position (and if Employee’s disability has been established pursuant to the definition of “disability” set forth below). For purposes of this Agreement, “disability” means either (i) disability which after the expiration of more than 13 consecutive weeks after its commencement is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected and paid for by the Employer or its insurers, and acceptable to Employee or his legal representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) disability as defined in the policy of disability insurance maintained by the Employer or its Affiliates for the benefit of Employee, whichever shall be more favorable to Employee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Employer shall comply with all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et. seq.

(g) If Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by a notice served pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Employer’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Employer may in its discretion (i) pay Employee all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended. If any payment of withheld compensation is made under this Section 10(g) in the Employer’s sole discretion, it shall be made by March 15 following the calendar year in which the charges in the applicable notice are dismissed.

(h) If Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by an order issued under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or the Code of Virginia, all obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected.

(i)(1) If within one year after a Change of Control (as defined below) shall have occurred, Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause or if he resigns for Good Reason (in accordance with Section 4(b) and as defined below), then within thirty (30) days following Employee’s last day of employment with the Employer, provided Employee has timely executed and not revoked the Release of Claims described in Section 10(j) below, the Employer shall pay to Employee as compensation for services rendered to the Employer and its Affiliates a lump sum cash amount (subject to any applicable payroll or other taxes required to be withheld) equal to 2 times his then-current annual base salary described in Section 4 hereof.

B-7

(2) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” occurs if, after the date of this Agreement, (i) any person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes the owner or beneficial owner of Corporation securities having 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding Corporation securities that may be cast for the election of the Corporation’s directors other than a result of an issuance of securities initiated by the Corporation, or open market purchases approved by the Board of Directors, as long as the majority of the Board of Directors approving the purchases is a majority at the time the purchases are made; or (ii) as the direct or indirect result of, or in connection with, a tender or exchange offer, a merger or other business combination, a sale of assets, a contested election of directors, or any combination of these events, the persons who were directors of the Corporation before such events cease to constitute a majority of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, or any successor’s board, within two years of the last of such transactions. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control occurs on the date on which an event described in (i) or (ii) occurs. If a Change of Control occurs on account of a series of transactions or events, the Change of Control occurs on the date of the last of such transactions or events. Provided further that, Change in Control shall not include a transaction unless it shall qualify as a Change in Control as defined by Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5).

(3) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:

(i) The assignment of duties to the Employee by the Employer which result in the Employee having significantly less authority or responsibility than he has on the first day following the Effective Date of the Merger;

(ii) Requiring the Employee to maintain his principal office anywhere outside of the Virginia Counties of Xxxxxxxxx, Chesterfield, Colonial Heights City, or Prince Xxxxxx, or cities located therein;

(iii) The Employer’s failure to comply with any material term of this Agreement;

(iv) The failure of the Employer to obtain the assumption of and agreement to perform this Agreement by any successor as contemplated in Section 14 hereof;

(v) The Employer’s elimination, on or after a Change of Control, of any material benefit plan, program or arrangement (including without limitation a tax-qualified retirement plan) or any change, made on or after a Change of Control, to such plan, program or arrangement that materially reduces the value of the affected benefit to the Employee;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such circumstances or event shall constitute Good Reason unless it shall qualify as Good Reason as defined by Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).

B-8

(4) It is the intention of the parties that no payment be made or benefit provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement that would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and any regulations thereunder, thereby resulting in a loss of an income tax deduction by the Employer or the imposition of an excise tax on Employee under Section 4999 of the Code. If the independent accountants serving as auditors for the Employer on the date of a Change of Control (or any other accounting firm designated by the Employer) determine that some or all of the payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement, as well as any other payments or benefits on a Change of Control, would be nondeductible by the Corporation under Section 280G of the Code, then the payments scheduled under this Agreement will be reduced to one dollar less than the maximum amount which may be paid without causing any such payment or benefit to be nondeductible. The determination made as to the reduction of benefits or payments required hereunder by the independent accountants shall be binding on the parties. In connection with making determinations under this subsection (5), the independent accountants shall take into account the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by the Employee before or after the Change in Control, including without limitation, the Employee’s agreement to refrain from performing services pursuant to a covenant not to compete or similar covenant, and the Employer shall cooperate in good faith in connection with any such valuations and reasonable compensation positions.

(j) Within 60 days of termination of the Employee’s employment, and as a condition to the Employer’s obligation to pay any severance hereunder, the Employee shall enter into a release in the form provided by the Employer, and the Employee may not revoke such release within the revocation period stated in such release, which shall acknowledge such remaining obligations and discharge the Employer and its officers, directors and employees with respect to their actions for or on behalf of the Employer, from any other claims or obligations arising out of or in connection with the Employee’s employment by the Employer, including the circumstances of such termination. In addition, if such severance payment is made by the Employer, and if the 60-day period spans two calendar years, regardless of when such release is executed by the Employee, such severance payment must be made in the subsequent calendar year, regardless of when the release is executed by the Employee.

Section 11. Confidentiality/Nondisclosure. Employee covenants and agrees that any and all information concerning the customers, businesses and services of the Employer of which he has knowledge or access as a result of his association with the Employer in any capacity, shall be deemed confidential in nature and shall not, without the proper written consent of the Employer, be directly or indirectly used, disseminated, disclosed or published by Employee to third parties other than in connection with the usual conduct of the business of the Employer. Such information shall expressly include, but shall not be limited to, information concerning the Employer’s trade secrets, business operations, business records, customer lists or other customer information. Upon termination of employment Employee shall deliver to the Employer all originals and copies of documents, forms, records or other information, in whatever form it may exist, concerning the Employer or its business, customers, products or services. In construing this provision, it is agreed that it shall be interpreted broadly so as to provide the Employer with the maximum protection. This Section 11 shall not be applicable to any information which, through no misconduct or negligence of Employee, has previously been disclosed to the public by anyone other than Employee.

B-9

Nothing in this Agreement restricts or prohibits the Employee or the Employee’s counsel from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiry from, volunteering information to, or providing testimony before a self-regulatory authority or a governmental, law enforcement or other regulatory authority, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Congress, and any Office of Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), from participating in any reporting of, investigation into, or proceeding regarding suspected violations of law, or from making other disclosures that are protected under or from receiving an award for information provided under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. The Employee does not need the prior authorization of the Employer to engage in such communications with the Regulators, respond to such inquiries from the Regulators, provide confidential information or documents containing confidential information to the Regulators, or make any such reports or disclosures to the Regulators. The Employee is not required to notify the Employer that the Employee has engaged in such communications with the Regulators. The Employee recognizes and agrees that, in connection with any such activity outlined above, the Employee must inform the Regulators that the information the Employee is providing is confidential.

Federal law provides certain protections to individuals who disclose a trade secret to their attorney, a court, or a government official in certain, confidential circumstances. Specifically, federal law provides that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret under either of the following conditions:

●

Where the disclosure is made (a) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (b) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or

●

Where the disclosure is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Federal law also provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (a) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (b) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

Section 12. Covenant Not to Compete. During the Term and Subsequent Term, as applicable, and in the event there is a termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, including resignation or retirement, during the Term and Subsequent Term, as applicable, for such period that Employee is receiving the compensation and other benefits set forth in Section 4(d) and throughout any further period that he is an officer or employee of the Employer, Employee covenants and agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in any other individual or representative capacity whatsoever: (i) engage in a Competitive Business anywhere within a ten (10) mile straight-line radius of any office operated by the Employer on the date Employee’s employment terminates; or (ii) solicit, or assist any other person or business entity in soliciting, any depositors or other customers of the Employer to make deposits in or to become customers of any other financial institution conducting a Competitive Business; or (iii) solicit, or assist any other person or business entity in soliciting, any individuals to terminate their employment with the Employer or its Affiliates. As used in this Agreement, the term “Competitive Business” means all banking and financial products and services that are substantially similar to those offered by the Employer on the date that Employee’s employment terminates. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 10(d)(3) of this Agreement, the parties intend that the covenants and restrictions in this Section 12 be enforceable against Employee regardless of the reason that his employment by the Employer may terminate and that such covenants and restrictions shall be enforceable against Employee even if this Agreement expires after a notice of nonrenewal given by Employee or the Employer under Section 2 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer and Employee may agree in writing with prior approval that a particular job or position will not be considered prohibited competition under this Section 12.

B-10

Section 13. Injunctive Relief, Damages, Etc. Employee agrees that given the nature of the positions held by Employee with the Employer, that each and every one of the covenants and restrictions set forth in Sections 11 and 12 above are reasonable in scope, length of time and geographic area and are necessary for the protection of the significant investment of the Employer in developing, maintaining and expanding its business. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that in the event of any breach by Employee of any of the provisions of Sections 11 or 12 that monetary damages alone will not adequately compensate the Employer for its losses and, therefore, that it may seek any and all legal or equitable relief available to it, specifically including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and Employee shall be liable for all damages, including actual and consequential damages, costs and expenses, including legal costs and actual attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Employer as a result of taking action to enforce, or recover for any breach of, Section 11 or Section 12. The covenants contained in Sections 11 and 12 shall be construed and interpreted in any judicial proceeding to permit their enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that any provision of the covenants and restrictions set forth in Section 12 above is unenforceable as being overbroad as to time, area or scope, the court may strike the offending provision or reform such provision to substitute such other terms as are reasonable to protect the Employer’s legitimate business interests.

Section 14. Binding Effect/Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employer and Employee and their respective heirs, legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, but neither this Agreement, nor any of the rights hereunder, shall be assignable by Employee or any beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by Employee. The Employer will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business, stock or assets of the Employer, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Employee, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in its entirety. Failure of the Employer to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Employee to the compensation described in Sections 10(d) and 10(i).

Section 15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to that body of law known as choice of law, except to the extent governed by the laws of the United States of America in which case federal laws shall govern. Any litigation arising out of or related to this Agreement shall only be brought exclusively in the state or federal court in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Each party (a) consents to the personal jurisdiction of said courts, (b) waives any venue or inconvenient forum defense to any proceeding maintained in such courts, and (c) agrees not to bring any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court.

B-11

Section 16. Invalid Provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted.

Section 17. Notices. Any and all notices, designations, consents, offers, acceptance or any other communications provided for herein shall be given in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered if delivered in person or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed in the case of the Employer to its registered office or in the case of Employee to his last known address.

Section 18. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement and the Settlement Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or in writing, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, specifically including the Prior Employment Agreement.

(b) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original copy of this Agreement, but all of which together shall evidence only one agreement.

Section 19. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the person or party to be charged.

Section 20. Case and Gender. Wherever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular or plural case and the masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall be interchangeable.

Section 21. Captions. The captions used in this Agreement are intended for descriptive and reference purposes only and are not intended to affect the meaning of any Section hereunder.

Section 22. Code Section 409A. All payments that may be made and benefits that may be provided pursuant to this Agreement are intended to qualify for an exclusion from Section 409A of the Code and any related regulations or other pronouncements thereunder and, to the extent not excluded, to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Any payments made under Section 10 of this Agreement which are paid on or before the last day of the applicable period for the short-term deferral exclusion under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) are intended to be excluded under such short-term deferral exclusion. Any remaining payments under Section 10 are intended to qualify for the exclusion for separation pay plans under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9). Each payment made under Section 10 shall be treated as a “separate payment,” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b)(2), for purposes of Code Section 409A. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all severance payments payable under the provisions of Section 10 shall be paid to the Employee no later than the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which occurs the date of the Employee’s termination of employment. None of the payments under this Agreement are intended to result in the inclusion in the Employee’s federal gross income on account of a failure under Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. The parties intend to administer and interpret this Agreement to carry out such intentions. However, the Employer does not represent, warrant or guarantee that any payments that may be made pursuant to this Agreement will not result in inclusion in the Employee’s gross income, or any penalty, pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code or any similar state statute or regulation.

B-12

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the right to any payment (including the provision of benefits) hereunder provides for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code, the payment shall be paid (or provided) as follows: if the Employee is a “Specified Employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Employee’s termination (the “Separation Date”), and if an exemption from the six month delay requirement of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) is not available, then no such payment that is payable on account of the Employee’s termination shall be made or commence during the period beginning on the Separation Date and ending on the date that is six months following the Separation Date or, if earlier, on the date of the Employee’s death. The amount of any payment that would otherwise be paid to the Employee during this period shall instead be paid to the Employee on the first day of the first calendar month following the end of the period.

Section 23. Compliance with Regulatory Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and in addition to any restrictions stated above, any compensation or other benefits paid to the Employee shall be limited to the extent required by any federal or state regulatory agency having authority over the Employer. The Employee agrees that compliance by the Employer with such regulatory restrictions, even to the extent that compensation or other benefits paid to the Employee are limited, shall not be a breach of this Agreement by the Employer.

Section 24. Apportionment. First Bank and the Corporation shall apportion any payments or benefits paid to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement among themselves as they may agree from time to time; provided, however, that they must satisfy in full all such obligations in a timely manner as set forth in this Agreement regardless of any agreed-upon apportionment. Employee’s receipt of satisfaction in full of any such obligation from First Bank or the Corporation shall extinguish the obligations of the other with respect to such obligation.

EXHIBIT B

Exhibit A

Settlement, Waiver, and Release Agreement

EXHIBIT C

SETTLEMENT, WAIVER, AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

This Settlement, Waiver, and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [•], 2024, by and among [•] (“Employee”), Touchstone Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Touchstone”), and Touchstone Bank, a Virginia state-chartered member bank (“Touchstone Bank” and, together with Touchstone, “Employer”).

THE PARTIES acknowledge the following:

WHEREAS, Touchstone has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with First National Corporation (“FXNC”), a Virginia corporation, dated [•], 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Touchstone will merge with and into FXNC, with FXNC continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, Touchstone Bank has entered into a Bank Merger Agreement with First Bank (“First Bank”), a Virginia state-chartered member bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of FXNC, dated [•], 2024, pursuant to which the Touchstone Bank will merge with and into First Bank, with First Bank continuing as the surviving entity;

WHEREAS, Employee is employed by Employer pursuant to that certain [amended and restated change in control employment agreement, dated October 23, 2023], by and between Employee and Employer (the “Prior Employment Agreement”);¹

WHEREAS, if the Merger is consummated, it will constitute a “Change in Control” for the purposes of Section 14 of the Prior Employment Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Employer has further notified Employee that it will unilaterally terminate the Prior Employment Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger, and, subject to Employee’s execution and delivery of this Agreement to Employer, pay or cause to be paid to Employee the additional cash payment described herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements and promises set forth within this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Employee and Employer agree as follows:

1. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. If the Merger is not consummated or the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, then this Agreement will be null and void and of no effect and the Prior Employment Agreement will continue in accordance with its respective terms, provided that if Employee has already received any Settlement Payment described in Section 2 below, Employee shall promptly repay such amounts to Employer. For the avoidance of doubt, following the execution of this Agreement, Employee’s employment will remain in effect under the Prior Employment Agreement until the Effective Time of the Merger or, if earlier, a termination of the Prior Employment Agreement in accordance with its terms.

¹ Note to Draft: As to Xxxxx Xxxxx, per Section 5(h) of his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, that agreement terminates upon a change in control and his termination benefits are determined/paid solely pursuant to his Amended and Restated Change in Control Employment Agreement. But for him, this provision will also reference his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement for the sake of clarification.

C-1

2. Settlement Payment.

(a) In consideration of Employee’s agreements and promises set forth herein, and in full and complete satisfaction of Employer’s obligations under the Prior Employment Agreement, Employer will pay to Employee a lump sum cash payment in the gross amount of $[•]² (as calculated and reflected on Exhibit A hereto) (such amount, the “Settlement Payment”) provided Employee has executed and returned this Agreement prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, and Employee remains continuously employed through the Effective Time of the Merger. Employee acknowledges that this amount represents the amount payable to Employee pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Prior Employment Agreement reduced, to the extent necessary, as described in Section 2(b) and Section 3 below. The Settlement Payment shall be paid immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger by Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outplacement services described in Section 10 of the Prior Employment Agreement shall remain available to Employee for the period described in such Section 10, if and to the extent the such services would not constitute “excess parachute payments” (as defined below) after first taking into account the Settlement Payment.

(b) Reduction of Payment. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any portion of the payment described herein or any other payment or distribution of any type to or for Employee by Employer, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payments”) constitute “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder) that would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, such Payments will be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent necessary so that no Payments to be made or benefit to be provided to Employee will be subject to such excise tax.

3. Tax Matters. Employer will withhold from all amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state, local and employment taxes as Employer reasonably determines are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law. Employee will be solely responsible for any and all federal and state tax liability or consequences (including, but not limited to, taxes, contributions, withholdings, fines, penalties, and interest) which could arise as a result of the payment to Employee pursuant to this Agreement.

² Note to Draft: For each officer with a Change in Control Agreement, regardless of whether or when any termination of employment occurs, the Settlement Payment will equal an amount calculated under Section 6(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of such Change in Control Agreement, subject to reduction under Section (e) of such Change in Control Agreement and Section 2(b) of this Agreement.

C-2

4. Release and Covenant Not to Sue.

(a) In exchange for Employer’s agreement to provide the Settlement Payment, Employee (for himself, his attorneys, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns) hereby releases and discharges Employer, FXNC, First Bank (whether directly or by reason of such entities’ succession to Employer), and all subsidiary and/or affiliated companies of Employer, FXNC, First Bank as well as Employer’s, FXNC’s and First Bank’s respective successors, assigns, officers, owners, directors, agents, representatives, attorneys, advisors and employees (all of whom are collectively referred to throughout this Agreement as the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, and liabilities that Employee has ever had or now may have against the Releasees by reason of anything occurring, done or omitted to be done as of or prior to the effective time of this Agreement, both known and unknown, including, but not limited to, any and all claims, demands, and liabilities based on Employee’s employment with Employer (collectively, the “Released Claims”).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Released Claims include, but are not limited to:

(i) any and all claims for additional compensation or benefits other than the compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement, whether pursuant to the Prior Employment Agreement or otherwise, but excluding Employee’s wages earned but not yet paid up to the Effective Time;

(ii) any and all common law claims, including but not limited to wrongful discharge, breach of express or implied contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, defamation, slander, libel, fraud, misrepresentation, violations of public policy, and negligence under any theory of recovery (including but not limited to negligent supervision or retention); and

(iii) any and all claims arising under any state or federal legislation, including, but not limited to, claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act of 2008; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”); the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”); the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Pregnancy Discrimination Act; Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act; the Occupational Safety and Health Act; and any and all similar state laws and/or state laws addressing the rights of employees and the payment of wages, including but not limited to the Virginians with Disabilities Act, the Virginia Genetic Testing Law, the Virginia Equal Pay Act, the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act, the Virginia Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act, the Virginia Payment of Wage Law, the Virginia Right-to-Work Law, and the Virginia Human Rights Act, and any other federal, state or local law or regulation prohibiting employment discrimination or otherwise applicable to the employment relationship between Employee and Employer.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Released Claims do not include (i) Employer’s indemnification obligations to Employee pursuant to the respective Bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation (as amended or restated) of Touchstone and Touchstone Bank, as applicable; (ii) any vested rights that Employee may have under the terms of any 401(k) plan, equity plan, deferred compensation plan or other benefit plan of Employer; (iii) Employee’s eligibility to elect continuation of insurance coverage in accordance with provisions of state law and/or the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act; (iv) claims for unemployment or workers’ compensation; (v) claims for wages earned by Employee but not yet paid; (vi) PTO or Medical PTO; (vii) Employee’s rights under this Agreement; and (viii) Employee’s rights under the Merger Agreement. The foregoing waiver, release and discharge does not waive, release or discharge claims that cannot be released by private agreement.

(d) Employee, on Employee’s own behalf and on behalf of Employee’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, agrees and covenants that Employee will not sue or assert any claim against any of the Released Parties on any ground arising out of or related to any of the Released Claims. Employee acknowledges and agrees that this Section 4(d) does not preclude Employee from filing a charge or complaint with, or cooperating in any investigation by, any government agency (including but not limited to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), to the extent permitted by law, but Employee expressly releases, waives, and disclaims any right to compensation, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and/or costs related to or arising from any such charge, complaint or lawsuit filed by Employee or on Employee’s behalf, individually or collectively, involving any of the Released Parties. Additionally, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or applied in a manner that affects or limits Employee’s ability to challenge this Agreement’s compliance with notice and other requirements of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”).

(e) Without waiving any prospective or retrospective rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), Employee admits that he has received from Employer all rights and benefits, if any, potentially due to him pursuant to the FLSA. Employee further represents that he is aware of no facts (including any injuries or illnesses) that might lead to his filing of a workers’ compensation claim against Employer. It is the parties’ intention to release all claims that can legally be released but no more than that.

5. No Admission of Liability. This Agreement will in no way be construed as an admission by any of the Releasees that it, he or she has acted wrongfully with respect to Employee or any other person or that Employee has any rights whatsoever against the Releasees or any of them. The Releasees specifically disclaim any liability to or wrongful acts against Employee or any other person or entity on the part of themselves, their employees, or their agents.

6. No Prior Assignment. Employee represents and warrants, recognizing that the truth of this representation and warranty is material to Employer’s entry into this Agreement, that Employee has not assigned, transferred, or conveyed at any time to any individual or entity any alleged rights, claims, or causes of action against Employer.

7. Continued Employment Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement confers on Employee any right to continue in the service of Employer, FXNC, or First Bank for any period of time or restrict in any way the right of Employer, FXNC, or First Bank or Employee to terminate Employee’s employment at any time.

C-4

8. Non-disparagement. Employee agrees that Employee will not denigrate, defame, disparage, or cast aspersions upon Employer, FXNC, or First Bank or the management, products, services, and/or manner of doing business of any of them; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement prohibits Employee from providing truthful information and/or testimony in connection with any litigation or any investigation or proceeding conducted by a governmental agency.

9. Performance. Employer’s obligation to perform under this Agreement is conditioned upon Employee’s agreements and promises to Employer as set forth herein. In the event Employee breaches any such agreements or promises or causes any such agreements or promises to be breached, Employer’s obligations to perform under this Agreement will automatically terminate and Employer will have no further obligation to Employee.

10. Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation in which Employer is a party, or any assignee of all or substantially all of Employer’s business and properties. Employee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by him, except that his right to receive accrued but unpaid compensation, unreimbursed expenses and other rights, if any, provided under this Agreement, which survive termination of this Agreement will pass after death to his estate.

11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to that body of law known as choice of law, except to the extent governed by the laws of the United States of America in which case federal laws shall govern. Any litigation arising out of or related to this Agreement shall only be brought exclusively in the state or federal court in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Each party (a) consents to the personal jurisdiction of said courts, (b) waives any venue or inconvenient forum defense to any proceeding maintained in such courts, and (c) agrees not to bring any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court.

12. Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Modification.

(a) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or in writing, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(b) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original copy of this Agreement, but all of which together shall evidence only one agreement.

(c) This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the person or party to be charged.

C-5

13. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted.

14. Notice. Any and all notices, designations, consents, offers, acceptance or any other communications provided for herein shall be given in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered if delivered in person or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed in the case of Employer to its registered office or in the case of Employee to his last known address.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS A RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU RECEIVED VALUABLE CONSIDERATION IN EXCHANGE FOR ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EMPLOYER ADVISED YOU IN WRITING TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY OF YOUR OWN CHOOSING PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT.

OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AGREEMENT

This OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of March [●], 2024, by and between the undersigned holder (“Shareholder”) of common stock, $2.00 par value per share, of Touchstone Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation with its principal office in Prince Xxxxxx, Virginia (“Xxxxxxxxxx”), and First National Corporation, a Virginia corporation with its principal office in Strasburg, Virginia (“FXNC”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement (defined below).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Touchstone and FXNC are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may be subsequently amended or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Touchstone will merge with and into FXNC, with FXNC being the surviving entity, and each outstanding share of Touchstone Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration;

WHEREAS, Shareholder beneficially owns and has sole voting power, or the ability to direct the vote, with respect to the number of shares of Touchstone Common Stock as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement under the heading “Total Number of Shares of Touchstone Common Stock Subject to this Agreement” (such shares, together with all shares of Touchstone Common Stock subsequently acquired by Shareholder during the term of this Agreement being referred to as the “Shares”); and

WHEREAS, it is a material inducement to the willingness of FXNC to enter into the Merger Agreement that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a material inducement to, FXNC entering into the Merger Agreement and proceeding with the transactions contemplated thereby, and in consideration of the expenses incurred and to be incurred by FXNC in connection therewith, Shareholder and FXNC agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Vote Shares. Shareholder agrees that, except as set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement, while this Agreement is in effect, at any meeting of shareholders of Touchstone, however called, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstances in which Shareholder is entitled to vote, consent or give any other approval, except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by FXNC, Shareholder shall:

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

(2) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all the Shares that are beneficially owned by Shareholder or as to which Shareholder has, directly or indirectly, the sole right to vote or direct the voting, (i) in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including any amendments or modifications of the terms thereof adopted in accordance with the terms thereof); (ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Touchstone contained in the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder contained in this Agreement; and (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal or any other action, agreement or transaction that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

D-1

Shareholder further agrees not to vote or execute any written consent to rescind or amend in any manner any prior vote or written consent, as a shareholder of Touchstone, to approve or adopt the Merger Agreement unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms.

2. No Transfers. While this Agreement is in effect, Shareholder agrees not to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of, any of the Shares, except the following transfers shall be permitted: (a) transfers by will or operation of law, in which case this Agreement shall bind the transferee, (b) transfers pursuant to any pledge agreement, subject to the pledgee agreeing in writing, prior to such transfer, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (c) transfers in connection with estate and tax planning purposes, including transfers to relatives, trusts and charitable organizations, subject to each transferee agreeing in writing, prior to such transfer, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (d) such transfers as FXNC may otherwise permit in its sole discretion. Any transfer or other disposition in violation of the terms of this Section 2 shall be null and void.

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

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

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Xxxxxxxxxxx, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by FXNC, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Shareholder enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, 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) 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-2

(d) Xxxxxxxxxxx is the record and beneficial owner of, or is the trustee that is the record holder of, and whose beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of, and has good title to all of the Shares, and the Shares are owned free and clear of any liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances. Shareholder does not beneficially own with sole voting power, or the ability to direct the vote, any shares of capital stock of Touchstone or any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock, other than the Shares. The Shares do not include shares over which Shareholder exercises control in a fiduciary capacity for any other person or entity that is not an Affiliate of Shareholder, and no representation by Shareholder is made with respect thereto. Shareholder has the right to vote the Shares, and none of the Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of the Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement.

4. No Solicitation of Other Proposals. From and after the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof, except as set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement, Shareholder, in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of Touchstone, shall not, nor shall such Shareholder authorize any partner, officer, director, advisor or Representative of, such Shareholder or any of his, her or its Affiliates to (and, to the extent applicable to Shareholder, such Shareholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit any of his, her or its Representatives or Affiliates to), (a) initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or knowingly take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any person (other than FXNC or First Bank) any information or data with respect to Touchstone, Touchstone Bank or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, (c) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or similar arrangement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, (d) solicit proxies with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than the Merger Agreement) or otherwise encourage or assist any party in taking or planning any action that would compete with, restrain or otherwise serve to interfere with or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, or (e) initiate a shareholders’ vote or action by consent of Touchstone’s shareholders with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

5. Irrevocable Proxy. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5, by execution of this Agreement, Shareholder hereby appoints FXNC with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, to the full extent of Shareholder’s rights with respect to the Shares, to vote, if Shareholder is unable to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, each of such Shares that Shareholder shall be entitled to so vote with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1 hereof at any meeting of the shareholders of Touchstone, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action of the shareholders of Touchstone taken by written consent. Shareholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest hereafter until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 7 hereof and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by Shareholder with respect to the Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this irrevocable proxy shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, including upon termination of the Merger Agreement by Touchstone pursuant to Section 9.1(f) of the Merger Agreement in order to enter into a Superior Proposal.

D-3

6. Specific Performance; Remedies. Shareholder acknowledges that it is a condition to the willingness of FXNC to enter into the Merger Agreement that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement and that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to FXNC if Shareholder fails to comply with the obligations imposed by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, FXNC will not have an adequate remedy at law or in equity. Accordingly, Xxxxxxxxxxx agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that FXNC has an adequate remedy at law. Shareholder further agrees that Shareholder will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with FXNC’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief. In addition, after discussing the matter with Shareholder, FXNC shall have the right to inform any third party that FXNC reasonably believes to be, or to be contemplating, participating with Shareholder or receiving from Shareholder assistance in violation of this Agreement, of the terms of this Agreement and of the rights of FXNC hereunder, and that participation by any such persons with Shareholder in activities in violation of Shareholder’s agreement with FXNC set forth in this Agreement may give rise to claims by FXNC against such third party.

7. Term of Agreement; Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the written consent of the parties hereto, and shall be automatically terminated upon termination of the Merger Agreement by any party thereto in accordance with its terms. Upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder; provided, however, such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

8. Entire Agreement; Amendments. 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 either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

9. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement, which 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.

10. Capacity as Shareholder. This Agreement shall apply to Shareholder solely in his or her capacity as a shareholder of Touchstone and it shall not apply in any manner to Shareholder in his or her capacity as a director, officer or employee of Touchstone or in any other capacity. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to, or limit in any manner, the obligations of Shareholder to comply with his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of Touchstone, if applicable.

D-4

11. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. Regardless of any conflict of law or choice of law principles that might otherwise apply, the parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The parties agree that any suit, action or proceeding brought by either party to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal or state court located in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Each of the parties submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of jurisdiction derived from present or future domicile or otherwise in such action or proceeding. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.

13. Waiver of Appraisal Rights; Further Assurances. Provided that the Merger is consummated in compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, that the consideration offered pursuant to the Merger is not less than that specified in the Merger Agreement executed on or about the date hereof, and that this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Shareholder hereby waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger or demand fair value for his or her Shares in connection with the Merger, in each case, that Shareholder may have under applicable law. From time to time prior to the termination of this Agreement, at FXNC’s request and without further consideration, Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the actions and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Shareholder further agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against FXNC or First Bank, Touchstone or Touchstone Bank, or any of their respective successors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger.

D-5

14. Disclosure. Shareholder hereby authorizes Touchstone and FXNC to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in the Proxy Statement such Shareholder’s identity and ownership of the Shares and the nature of Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Transmission by telecopy, facsimile, email or other form of electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

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

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

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Xxxxxxxxxxx, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Touchstone, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Shareholder enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, 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.

E-2

(d) Xxxxxxxxxxx is the record and beneficial owner of, or is the trustee that is the record holder of, and whose beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of, and has good title to all of the Shares, and the Shares are owned free and clear of any liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances. Shareholder does not beneficially own with sole voting power, or the ability to direct the vote, any shares of capital stock of FXNC or any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock, other than the Shares.

5. Irrevocable Proxy. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5, by execution of this Agreement, Shareholder hereby appoints Touchstone with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, to the full extent of Shareholder’s rights with respect to the Shares, to vote, if Shareholder is unable to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, each of such Shares that Shareholder shall be entitled to so vote with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1 hereof at any meeting of the shareholders of FXNC, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action of the shareholders of FXNC taken by written consent. Shareholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest hereafter until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 7 hereof and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by Shareholder with respect to the Shares.

ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER AGREEMENT

THIS ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [●], 2024, by and between First Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia state-chartered member bank, and [______________________] (the “Member”), is effective as of the date set forth above. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement (defined below).

WHEREAS, on March [●], 2024, First National Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“FXNC”) and the sole shareholder of the Bank, and Touchstone Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Touchstone”) and the sole shareholder of Seller (defined below) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Touchstone will merge with and into FXNC, with FXNC being the surviving entity;

WHEREAS, the Bank has determined that it is in its best interests to establish an advisory board consisting of certain directors of Touchstone Bank (“Seller”) who will not serve on the board of directors of the Bank following the date and time when Articles of Merger effecting the merger of Seller with and into the Bank are filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (the “Effective Date”), together with additional individuals, if any, appointed by the Bank in its sole discretion following the Effective Date (the “Advisory Board”); and

WHEREAS, the Member has invaluable knowledge and expertise regarding the business and geographic market area of Seller and the Bank wishes to appoint the Member to serve on the Advisory Board on the terms and subject to the conditions specified hereinafter.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Bank and the Member hereby agree as follows:

1. Advisory Period. The Member is appointed to serve on the Advisory Board commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier as provided herein (the “Advisory Period”). The board of directors of the Bank may retain or terminate the Advisory Board following the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date. To the extent that the Advisory Board is retained for more than two years following the Effective Date, compensation to the Member for Advisory Board services following the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date will be established no later than the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date.

2. Advisory Services. During the Advisory Period, the Member shall (a) attend Advisory Board meetings, as much as is reasonably practicable for Member, (b) make himself or herself reasonably available to the Bank to discuss matters relating to its banking business in certain markets served by Seller as of the Effective Date (the “Seller Markets”), and (c) advise on specific projects for the Bank relating to business opportunities in the Seller Markets, in each case, as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Bank. Meetings of the Advisory Board shall be held four (4) times annually during the Advisory Period pursuant to a regular schedule with any meeting that is held outside such schedule being called by not less than five (5) days’ written notice to the Member unless waived by the Member (with attendance being deemed a waiver). The Member shall not be a legal director of the Bank and will not have the voting rights or legal responsibilities associated therewith (except as set forth in this Agreement).

3. Consideration. In consideration for agreeing to provide the advisory services set forth in Section 2, the Member shall be paid an aggregate advisory fee of $50,000.00, which fee shall be paid in two (2) equal parts within thirty (30) days of the one-year and two-year anniversary, respectively, of the Effective Date (the “Advisory Fee”).

4. Sole Consideration. Except as specifically provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Member shall be entitled to no compensation or benefits from the Bank with respect to the advisory services for the first two (2) years following the Effective Date.

5. Status as an Independent Contractor. The Bank and the Member acknowledge and agree that the Member shall be acting and shall act at all times as an independent contractor only and not as an employee, agent, partner or joint venturer of or with the Bank. The Member acknowledges that he or she is solely responsible for the payment of all Federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws or regulations to be paid with respect to the Advisory Fees payable hereunder.

6. Confidentiality.

(a) All Confidential Information and Trade Secrets and all physical embodiments thereof received or developed by the Member during the Advisory Period are confidential to and are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Bank. Except to the extent necessary to perform the services contemplated by Section 2 hereof, the Member will hold such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets in trust and strictest confidence, and will not use, reproduce, distribute, disclose or otherwise disseminate the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets or any physical embodiments thereof and may in no event take any action causing or fail to take the action necessary in order to prevent, any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets disclosed to or developed by the Member to lose its character or cease to qualify as Confidential Information or Trade Secrets. Upon request by the Bank, and in any event upon termination of the Member’s service on the Advisory Board for any reason, as a prior condition to receiving any final compensation hereunder, the Member will promptly deliver to the Bank all property belonging to the Bank, including, without limitation, all Confidential Information and Trade Secrets (and all embodiments thereof) then in the Member’s custody, control or possession. The covenants of confidentiality set forth herein will apply on and after the date hereof to any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets disclosed by the Bank or developed by the Member prior to or after the date hereof. The covenants restricting the use of Confidential Information will continue and be maintained by the Member for a period of three (3) years following the termination of this Agreement. The covenants restricting the use of Trade Secrets will continue and be maintained by the Consultant following termination of this Agreement for so long as permitted by applicable state law. For purposes of this Section 6, the terms below shall have the following meanings ascribed to them:

(b) “Confidential Information” means data and information relating to the business of the Bank (which does not rise to the status of a Trade Secret) which is or has been disclosed to the Member or of which the Member became aware as a consequence of or through his relationship to the Bank and that has value to the Bank and is not generally known to its competitors. Confidential Information shall not include any data or information that has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Bank (except where such public disclosure has been made by the Consultant without authorization) or that has been independently developed and disclosed by others, or that otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means.

F-2

(c) “Trade Secrets” means information including, but not limited to, technical or non-technical data, formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, drawings, processes, financial data, financial plans, product plans or lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers which (i) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

7. Non-Compete; Non-Solicit.

(a) During the twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Date and for such longer period as the Member shall serve the Bank on this Advisory Board (the “Restricted Period”), the Member covenants and agrees that the Member will not, directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in any other individual or representative capacity whatsoever: (i) solicit, or assist any other person or business entity in soliciting, any depositors or other customers of FXNC, Touchstone or either of their respective Affiliates to make deposits in or to become customers of any other financial institution conducting a Competitive Business; or (ii) solicit, or assist any other person or business entity in soliciting, any individuals to terminate their employment with FXNC, Touchstone or either of their respective Affiliates. For the purposes of this Section 7(a), “Competitive Business” means all banking and financial products and services that are substantially similar to those offered by the Bank on the date during the Restricted Period of the alleged action in violation of this restrictive covenant.

(b) By signing this Agreement, Member expressly acknowledges that the limitations, duration and scope of the restrictions described in this Section 7 are not contingent on the service or continued service of Member and are fair and reasonable. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that in the event of any breach by Member of any of the provisions of this Section 7 that monetary damages alone will not adequately compensate the Bank for its losses and, therefore, that it may seek any and all legal or equitable relief available to it, specifically including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and Member shall be liable for all damages, including amounts paid under Section 3 hereof, actual and consequential damages, costs and expenses, including legal costs and actual attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Bank as a result of taking action to enforce, or recover for any breach of, this Section 7. If, under the circumstances existing at the time of enforcement of this Agreement, the limitations, duration or scope described in this Section 7 are found or held to be unreasonable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, Member and the Bank expressly agree that the maximum limitations, duration and scope reasonable under the circumstances shall be substituted for the stated limitations, duration and scope.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Member and the Bank agree that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7 shall not apply if Member is (i) subject to an employment agreement with FXNC or the Bank following the Effective Date or (ii) becomes a member of the Board of Directors of FXNC or the Bank.

8. Termination of Arrangement. This Agreement shall expire on the second anniversary of the Effective Date except for Section 6 (which will survive for the periods set forth therein) and Sections 5, 9, and 10 (which will survive indefinitely). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement (other than Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10) may be terminated prior to its expiration (a) by the Member, immediately upon his written or oral resignation from the Advisory Board or (b) by the Bank (i) upon two consecutive absences by the Member from duly-called meetings of the Advisory Board, (ii) upon a material breach by the Member of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Member and the Bank or FXNC, or (iii) upon the good faith determination by the Bank that the Member is engaging or has engaged in conduct that is not in the best interests of the Bank, which conduct (if able to be cured) remains uncured by the Member fifteen (15) days following notice from the Bank to the Member describing such conduct. Any termination of this Agreement by the Bank prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date shall be effective immediately upon delivery of written notice of termination by the Bank to the Member.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, as applicable, the Bank and the Member and their respective personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, heirs, distributees and legatees. This Agreement is personal in nature and the Member shall not, without the written consent of the Bank, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without giving effect to such state’s laws and principles regarding the conflict of laws.

(c) Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment, waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and such writing is signed by the Member and the Bank.

(d) Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party or by registered, by email, or by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

(e) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

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

10. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

(a) General. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (and any applicable transition relief under Section 409A of the Code). Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Bank nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers (other than the Member) shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by the Member as a result of the application of Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Definitional Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation”) would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of the Member’s termination of service, such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation will not be payable or distributable to the Member unless the circumstances giving rise to such termination of service meet any description or definition of “separation from service” in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This provision does not prohibit the vesting of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation upon a termination of service, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, such payment shall be made on the date on which an event occurs that constitutes a Section 409A-compliant “separation from service”.
