4.04. Exchange Procedures.
(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Bay Banks shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of certificates formerly representing shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock (“Old Certificates”) and holders of non-certificated shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock (“Book-Entry Shares”), for exchange in accordance with this Article IV, (i) certificates representing shares of Bay Banks Common Stock or non-certificated shares of Bay Banks Common Stock (collectively, “New Certificates”) and (ii) an amount of cash necessary for payments required by Section 4.03 (the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in no event later than five business days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that no Person shall have the right to receive the Merger Consideration until they deliver the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, or a lost stock affidavit and indemnity in form reasonably satisfactory to the Exchange Agent, to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the New Certificates that the holders of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are entitled to receive pursuant to Article IV and any cash in lieu of fractional shares. Upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Book-Entry Shares (or delivery of a lost stock affidavit and indemnity) for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) a New Certificate representing that number of whole shares of Bay Banks Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Article IV and (ii) a check representing the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV and the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(d) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Bay Banks Common Stock with a record date occurring after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate or Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of such Bay Banks Common Stock until the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive New Certificates in exchange therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.04. After becoming so entitled in accordance with this Section 4.04, the record holder thereof also shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of Bay Banks Common Stock such holder had the right to receive upon surrender of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Virginia BanCorp on the business day after the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date shall be paid to Bay Banks. Any shareholders of Virginia BanCorp who have not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Bay Banks for payment of the Merger Consideration and unpaid dividends and distributions on Bay Banks Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon.
11
4.05. Withholding Rights. Bay Banks or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person 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.

Upon the receipt of a Regulatory Communication, Bay Banks shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law (i) promptly advise Virginia BanCorp,
27

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 7.09(a) upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly notify Bay Banks thereof; provided that the failure so to notify shall not affect the obligations of Bay Banks under Section 7.09(a) unless and to the extent that Bay Banks is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
(d) The provisions of this Section 7.09(i) shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by agreement or otherwise.

(a) In the event that, (i) this Agreement shall be terminated by Bay Banks pursuant to Section 9.01(h)(i), then Bay Banks shall pay Virginia BanCorp promptly (but in no event later than two business days after the date of termination of this Agreement by Bay Banks) a fee of $1,100,000 (the “Fee”) and shall reimburse Virginia BanCorp for all out of pocket expenses incurred by Virginia BanCorp or its affiliates related to the Merger and incurred after July 1, 2016, not to exceed $250,000, which amounts shall be payable in immediately available funds or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(g)(i), then on the date of such termination, Bay Banks shall reimburse Virginia BanCorp for all out of pocket expenses incurred by Virginia BanCorp or its affiliates related to the Merger and incurred after July 1, 2016, not to exceed $250,000, and if prior to that date that is 12 months after such termination, Bay Banks or any of its Subsidiaries enters into any Acquisition Agreement or any Acquisition Proposal is consummated (regardless of whether such Acquisition Proposal is consummated before or after termination of this Agreement), then Bay Banks shall pay Virginia BanCorp the Fee on the earlier of such date of execution or consummation, which amount shall be payable in immediately available funds.

(a) Virginia BanCorp Common Stock. Other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.04), each share of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive 1.178 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Bay Banks Common Stock (the Exchange Ratio, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Bay Banks Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.02(h), is hereinafter referred to as, the “Merger Consideration”).
(b) Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Virginia BanCorp, other than to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividend or other distribution with respect to such Virginia BanCorp Common Stock with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time and the consideration provided under this Section 2.01. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Virginia BanCorp or the Surviving Corporation of shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock.
2.02 Exchange Procedures.
(a) Bay Banks shall appoint the Exchange Agent for the purpose of exchanging certificates representing shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Bay Banks shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of certificates formerly
A-2
representing shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock (“Old Certificates”) and holders of non-certificated shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock (“Book-Entry Shares”), for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.02, (i) certificates representing shares of Bay Banks Common Stock or non-certificated shares of Bay Banks Common Stock (collectively, “New Certificates”) and (ii) an amount of cash necessary for payments required by Section 2.02(h) (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund will be distributed in accordance with the Exchange Agent’s normal and customary procedures established in connection with merger transactions.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in no event later than five business days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that no Person shall have the right to receive the Merger Consideration until they deliver the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, or a lost stock affidavit and indemnity in form reasonably satisfactory to the Exchange Agent, to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the New Certificates that the holders of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.01 and any cash in lieu of fractional shares. Upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Book-Entry Shares (or delivery of a lost stock affidavit and indemnity) for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) a New Certificate representing that number of whole shares of Bay Banks Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.01 and (ii) a check representing the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.02 and the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
(c) Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
(d) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Bay Banks Common Stock with a record date occurring after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate or Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of such Bay Banks Common Stock until the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive New Certificates in exchange therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02. After becoming so entitled in accordance with this Section 2.02, the record holder thereof also shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of Bay Banks Common Stock such holder had the right to receive upon surrender of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Virginia BanCorp on the business day after the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date shall be paid to Bay Banks. Any shareholders of Virginia BanCorp who have not
A-3
theretofore complied with this Section 2.02 shall thereafter look only to Bay Banks for payment of the Merger Consideration and unpaid dividends and distributions on Bay Banks Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon.
(f) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Old Certificate or Book-Entry Shares is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Old Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Old Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(g) If any Old Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Bay Banks, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Bay Banks may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate.
(h) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Bay Banks Common Stock shall be issued in respect of shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock that are to be converted in the Merger into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. All fractional shares of Bay Banks Common Stock that a holder of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated and if a fractional share results from such aggregation, such holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu thereof, an amount in cash without interest determined by multiplying such fraction by the average of the closing prices of Bay Banks Common Stock quoted on the OTC Markets Group’s OTC Pink Market for the twenty (20) trading days ending on and including the day preceding the Effective Date.
(i) Anti-dilution Provisions. In the event Bay Banks changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding Bay Banks Common Stock, or establish a record date prior to the Effective Time with respect to any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Bay Banks Common Stock other than a cash dividend consistent with past practice, Bay Banks shall adjust the Merger Consideration proportionately to provide the holders of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
2.03 Withholding Rights. Bay Banks or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Plan of Merger to any Person such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and withhold with
A-4
respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority by or on behalf of Bay Banks or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such amounts withheld will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Bay Banks or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.
2.04 Appraisal Rights. Shares of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock in respect of which the holders thereof have complied with all requirements for demanding and perfecting appraisal rights as set forth in Article 15 of the VSCA (such shares, “Dissenting Shares” and such holders, “General Dissenting Shareholders”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the consideration provided for in Section 2.01. General Dissenting Shareholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of the VSCA. Each share of Virginia BanCorp Common Stock held by holders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares under the VSCA shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration provided for in Section 2.01, without any interest thereon.
ARTICLE 3
AMENDMENT; ABANDONMENT
3.01 Amendment. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, this Plan of Merger may be amended by the Boards of Directors of Bay Banks and Virginia BanCorp at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that any amendment made subsequent to the approval of this Plan of Merger by the shareholders of Bay Banks or Virginia BanCorp shall not:
(a) alter or change the amount or kind of securities, eligible interests, obligations, rights to acquire shares, other securities or eligible interest, cash or other property or rights to be received under this Plan of Merger by holders of shares of Virginia BanCorp;

Each Compensation and Benefit Plan which is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Pension Plan”) and which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter (including a determination that the related trust under such Compensation and Benefit Plan is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code) from the IRS or the Compensation and Benefit Plan uses a prototype or volume submitter plan that is the subject of an IRS opinion or advisory letter. It is not aware of any circumstances which could adversely affect such qualification or which are likely to result in the revocation of any existing favorable determination letter or in not receiving a favorable determination letter. There is no material pending or threatened legal action, suit or claim relating to its Compensation and Benefit Plans other than routine claims for benefits. Neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction, or omitted to take any action, with respect to any Compensation and Benefit Plan that would reasonably be expected to subject it or any of its Subsidiaries to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA, assuming for purposes of Section 4975 of the Code that the taxable period of any such transaction expired as of the date hereof.
C-4
(iii) Each Compensation and Benefit Plan is in writing. With respect to each Compensation and Benefit Plan, it has delivered the following: (1) all documents embodying such Compensation and Benefit Plan and any related trust; (2) the most recent summary plan description together with the summary or summaries of material modifications thereto, if any, (3) the three most recent annual actuarial valuations, if any, (4) the three most recent annual reports (Form Series 5500 and all schedules and financial statements attached thereto), if any, (5) all IRS or Department of Labor (“DOL”) determination, opinion, notification, and advisory letters, (6) all material correspondence to or from any Governmental Authority sent or received in the last three years, including filings relating to any amnesty, voluntary compliance, self-correction or similar program sponsored by the IRS, DOL, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or other Governmental Authority, (6) all discrimination and top-heavy tests for the most recent three plan years for each Pension Plan, (7) all material written agreements and contracts currently in effect, including (without limitation) administrative service agreement, group annuity contracts, and group insurance contracts, (8) any documentation relating to outstanding loans with respect to any Compensation and Benefit Plan, including, without limitation, loans with respect to an employee stock ownership plan and participant loans, and (xi) all fidelity bond and fiduciary liability insurance policies.
(iv) No liability (other than for payment of premiums to the PBGC which have been made or will be made on a timely basis) under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by it or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated “single-employer plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or any single-employer plan of any entity (an “ERISA Affiliate”) which is considered one employer with it under Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA or Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code. Neither it, any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has contributed, or has been obligated to contribute, to a multiemployer plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA. No notice of a “reportable event”, within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any Compensation and Benefit Plan or by any ERISA Affiliate Plan within the 12-month period ending on the date hereof, and no such notice will be required to be filed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan and, to Bay Banks’s knowledge and Virginia BanCorp’s knowledge, no condition exists that presents a material risk that such proceedings will be instituted. To the knowledge of Bay Banks and Virginia BanCorp, there is no pending investigation or enforcement action by the PBGC, the DOL or IRS or any other governmental agency with respect to any Compensation and Benefit Plan. Under each Pension Plan and ERISA Affiliate Plan, as of the date of the most recent actuarial valuation performed prior to the date of this Agreement, the actuarially determined present value of all “benefit liabilities”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in such actuarial valuation of such Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan and since such date there has been neither an adverse change in the financial condition of such Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan nor
C-5
any amendment or other change to such Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan that would increase the amount of benefits thereunder which reasonably could be expected to change such result.
(v) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any Compensation and Benefit Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan or any employee benefit arrangements under any collective bargaining agreement to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party have been timely made or have been reflected on its financial statements. Neither any Pension Plan nor any ERISA Affiliate Plan has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and all required payments to the PBGC with respect to each Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan have been made on or before their due dates. Neither it, any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate (x) has provided, or would reasonably be expected to be required to provide, security to any Pension Plan or to any ERISA Affiliate Plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code, and (y) has taken any action, or omitted to take any action, that has resulted, or would reasonably be expected to result, in the imposition of a lien under Section 412(n) of the Code or pursuant to ERISA.
(vi) Neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations to provide retiree health and life insurance or other retiree death benefits under any Compensation and Benefit Plan, other than benefits mandated by Section 4980B of the Code, and each such Compensation and Benefit Plan may be amended or terminated without incurring liability thereunder and there has been no communication to Employees by it or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to promise or guarantee such Employees retiree health or life insurance or other retiree death benefits except as described in this Agreement.
(vii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would not, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, as a result of any termination of employment prior to or following the Effective Time) reasonably be expected to (A) entitle any employee, consultant or director to any payment (including severance pay or similar compensation) or any increase in compensation, (B) result in the vesting or acceleration of any benefits under any Compensation and Benefit Plan or (C) result in any material increase in benefits payable under any Compensation and Benefit Plan.
(viii) As a result, directly or indirectly, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a result of any termination of employment prior to or following the Effective Time), neither it nor any of its respective Subsidiaries will be obligated to make a payment that would be characterized as an “excess parachute payment” to an individual who is a “disqualified individual” (as such terms are defined in Section 280G of the Code), without regard to whether such payment is reasonable compensation for personal services performed or to be performed in the future.
(ix) Neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any agreement, taken any action, or omitted to take any action, with respect to or as part of any Compensation and Benefit Plan that is an operational failure or documentary failure under Section 409A of the Code or that would reasonably be expected to subject it or any of its Subsidiaries to any obligation to report any amount or withhold any amount as includable in income and subject to tax, interest or any penalty by any service provider under Section 409A of the Code or to pay any reimbursement or other payment to any service provider, as defined under Section 409A of the Code, respecting any such tax, interest or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.
C-6
(j) Labor Matters. Neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or is bound by any collective bargaining agreement, contract or other agreement or understanding with a labor union or labor organization, nor is it or any of its Subsidiaries the subject of a proceeding asserting that it or any such Subsidiary has committed an unfair labor practice (within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act) or seeking to compel it or any such Subsidiary to bargain with any labor organization as to wages or conditions of employment, nor is there any strike or other labor dispute involving it or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to its knowledge, threatened, nor is it aware of any activity involving its or any of its Subsidiaries’ employees seeking to certify a collective bargaining unit or engaging in other organizational activity.

(l) Environmental Matters. To its knowledge, neither the conduct nor operation by it or its Subsidiaries nor any condition of any property presently or previously owned, leased or operated by any of them (including, without limitation, in a fiduciary or agency capacity), or on which any of them holds a Lien, violates or violated Environmental Laws and to its knowledge no condition has existed or event has occurred with respect to any of them or any such property that, with notice or the passage of time, or both, is reasonably likely to result in liability under Environmental Laws. To its knowledge, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice from any person or entity that it or its Subsidiaries or the operation or condition of any property ever owned, leased, operated or held as collateral or in a fiduciary capacity by any of them are or were in violation of or otherwise are alleged to have liability under any Environmental Law, including, but not limited to, responsibility (or potential responsibility) for the cleanup or other remediation of any pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic wastes, substances or materials at, on, beneath or originating from any such property.
(m) Tax Matters. All Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to it and its Subsidiaries have been timely filed (taking into account all applicable extensions), and all Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns have been paid in full, other than Taxes that are being contested in good faith, which have not been finally determined, and have been
C-7
adequately reserved against in accordance with GAAP on Bay Banks’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015. All assessments for Taxes due with respect to completed and settled examinations or any concluded litigations have been fully paid. There are no disputes, audits, examinations or proceedings pending, or claims asserted, for Taxes upon it or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has granted any extension or waiver of the limitation period for the assessment or collection of Tax that remains in effect. As of the date hereof, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has any knowledge of any conditions that exist that might prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(n) Risk Management Instruments. Neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any interest rate swaps, caps, floors, option agreements, futures and forward contracts and other similar risk management arrangements, whether entered into for its own account, or for the account of a Subsidiary or customers.
(o) Books and Records. The books and records of it and its Subsidiaries have been fully, properly and accurately maintained in all material respects, and there are no material inaccuracies or discrepancies of any kind contained or reflected therein, and they fairly reflect the substance of events and transactions included therein.
(p) Insurance. It Previously Disclosed all of the insurance policies, binders, or bonds maintained by it or its Subsidiaries. It and its Subsidiaries are insured with insurers believed to be reputable against such risks and in such amounts as the management reasonably has determined to be prudent in accordance with industry practices. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect. Neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material default thereunder; and all claims thereunder have been filed in due and timely fashion.

Each Property Lease is valid and binding and is in full force and effect. It or its Subsidiaries as applicable have performed, in all material respects, all obligations required to be performed by it to date under each Property Lease. It and its Subsidiaries are not in material default under any Property Lease.
(r) Securitizations. It is not a party to any agreement securitizing any of its assets.

As of the date of this Agreement, it is not aware of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and knows of no reason why all regulatory approvals from any governmental entity required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not be obtained on a timely basis.
C-8

WHEREAS, Bay Banks and Virginia BanCorp Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Virginia BanCorp”), are parties to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 2, 2016, as the same may be amended or supplemented in accordance with its terms (the “Merger Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Director is a director of [Virginia BanCorp or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Virginia Commonwealth Bank] [Bay Banks or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Lancaster], and has been offered the opportunity to be a member of the Board of Directors of Bay Banks and/or Bank of Lancaster (to be renamed Virginia Commonwealth Bank) following the Effective Date of the Merger (the “Surviving Bank”); and
WHEREAS, as a condition of acceptance of such offer and as an inducement to effect the Merger, Director has agreed to enter into and be bound by this Agreement.
IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, Bay Banks and Director, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Contingent on Merger. This Agreement shall become effective at the Effective Time of the Merger. If the Merger Agreement is terminated, then this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect.
2. Noncompetition.
(a) Director covenants and agrees that, during the Restricted Period (as defined below), Director shall not (except as required to carry out Director’s assigned duties with Bay Banks or the Surviving Bank, if any): (i) engage in any aspect of the Restricted Business (as defined below) within the Prohibited Territory (as defined below); and/or (ii) as an employee, agent, partner, shareholder, member, investor, director, consultant or otherwise assist others to engage in the Restricted Business within the Prohibited Territory. Notwithstanding the preceding, owning the stock or options to acquire stock totaling less than one percent of the outstanding shares in a public company shall not by itself be considered engaging in, or assisting others to engage in, the “Restricted Business.”
(b) “Restricted Period” means a period of one year following the Effective Time and any period during which Director shall be a member of the Board of Directors of Bay Banks or the Surviving Bank.
(c) “Restricted Business” means the business of providing business banking, personal banking, loan, mortgage and wealth management services and products, and any other business in which Bay Banks or its affiliates are engaged.
(d) “Prohibited Territory” means the areas within a twenty-five (25) mile radius of each office maintained by Bay Banks or its affiliates at any time during the Restricted Period.
3. Noninterference with Customers.
(a) Director covenants and agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Director shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, encourage or cause any Restricted Customer (as defined below) to obtain any services or products related to the Restricted Business from any entity other than Bay Banks or its Subsidiaries; or (ii) sell or provide to any Restricted Customer any services or products related to the Restricted Business, other than on behalf of and for the benefit of Bay Banks or its Subsidiaries.
(b) “Restricted Customer” means any person or entity that was a customer of [Virginia BanCorp] [Bay Banks] or any of its Subsidiaries at any point during the 90 days preceding the Effective Time or of Bay Banks or any of its Subsidiaries at any time following the Effective Time during the Restricted Period and with whom Director had material contact or communications on behalf of Bay Banks, Virginia BanCorp or any of their affiliates at any time during the two-year period preceding the Effective Time (the “Look-Back Period”) or during the Restricted Period.
4. Noninterference with Employees. Director covenants and agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Director shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit or induce any employee of Bay Banks or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Restricted Employee”) to leave or limit his or her employment relationship with Bay Banks or its Subsidiaries; or (b) hire any Restricted Employee as an employee or engage any Restricted Employee as an independent contractor.
5. Reasonableness and Breach. Director acknowledges that the restrictions herein are fair, reasonable, and necessary for the protection of Bay Banks and its acquisition of Virginia BanCorp and constitute a condition of acceptance of Director’s offer to become a director of Bay Banks and/or the Surviving Bank and a material inducement for Bay Banks to effect the Merger. Therefore, Director agrees not to contest the enforceability of this Agreement in any forum. Director further acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of such obligations and agreements will result in irreparable harm and continuing damage to Bay Banks for which there will be no adequate remedy at law and further agrees that in the event of any breach of such obligations and agreements, Bay Banks and its successors and assigns will be entitled to injunctive relief and to such other relief as is proper under the circumstances. Director

acknowledges and agrees that the covenants in this Agreement are direct consideration for a sale of a business and should be governed by standards applicable to restrictive covenants entered into in connection with a sale of a business.
6. Judicial Modification. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or incapable of being enforced, then the parties request that such court modify such provision by “blue-penciling” or otherwise in order to render such provision not invalid or incapable of being enforced and then enforce the provision as modified.
7. Severability. The parties further agree that each provision of this Agreement is severable from each other provision of this Agreement. If any clause or provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
8. Assignment. Bay Banks shall have the right to assign or transfer this Agreement to any affiliated entity or any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), and Director irrevocably consents to any such assignment or transfer. In the event of such assignment or transfer, “Bay Banks” shall mean the entity to which this Agreement is so assigned or transferred.
9. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to any conflict-of-law rules.
10. Waiver; Construction. No modification, termination or attempted waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless reduced to writing and signed by the parties. This Agreement shall be construed according to a plain reading of its terms and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement.
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the recitals, which are hereby incorporated by reference) and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matters contained herein.
