(c) On the Delivery Date, LeClairRyan, A Professional Corporation, counsel for the Company, shall have furnished to you their written opinion, dated such date, in form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect that:
(i) The Company and the Bank have been duly incorporated and are validly existing as corporations in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation, with corporate power and authority to own or lease their respective properties and conduct their respective businesses as described in the Disclosure Package; and the Company and the Bank are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing in each jurisdiction in which they own or lease property or conduct business so as to require such qualification except where the failure to so qualify would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) The Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act; any required filing of the Prospectus, and any supplements thereto, pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened under the Securities Act.

(vi) To such counsel’s knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings (including any Regulatory Agreement) pending to which the Company or the Bank is a party or of which any property or assets of the Company or the Bank is subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or the Bank, would individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and, to such counsel’s knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.
(vii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors now or hereafter in effect, and to equitable principles that may limit the right to specific enforcement of
15
remedies, and except insofar as the enforceability of the indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Agreement may be limited by federal and state securities laws, and further subject to 12 U.S.C. 1818 (b)(6)(D) and similar bank regulatory powers and to the application of principles of public policy).
(viii) The issue and sale of the Securities and the performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or the Bank pursuant to, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument known to such counsel to which the Company or the Bank is a party or by which the Company or the Bank is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or the Bank is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the Bank or of any statute or any order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or the Bank or any of their respective properties.
(ix) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental agency or body is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company or the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as have been obtained under the Securities Act, such as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws, and under the rules of the FINRA in connection with the offering of the Securities by the Underwriter;
(x) The Registration Statement, the Rights Offering Prospectus, the Public Offering Prospectus and any further amendments and supplements thereto made by the Company prior to the Delivery Date (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial and statistical information included therein and information furnished for use therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; and
(xi) All offers and sales in connection with the Rights Offering and Standby Purchase comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and are conducted in the manner described in the Rights Offering Prospectus.

16
In rendering such opinions, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact, to the extent deemed proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and the Bank, and public officials. On the Delivery Date, LeClairRyan, A Professional Corporation shall also deliver a letter to you stating that nothing has come to their attention which leads them to believe that, as of the Effective Date and the Delivery Date, the Registration Statement, Rights Offering Prospectus or Public Offering Prospectus, or, as of its date, any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Company prior to the Delivery Date (in each case, except for the financial statements and the related schedules and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which such counsel need not address) contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) On the Effective Date, the date of this Agreement and also at the Delivery Date, Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, L.L.P. shall have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect set forth in Schedule III hereto.
(e)(i) The Company or the Bank shall not have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Disclosure Package, any material loss or interference with their respective businesses from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or expressly contemplated in the Disclosure Package, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Public Offering Prospectus there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or the Bank or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operation of the Company or the Bank taken as a whole otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Disclosure Package, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in your judgment so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Securities being issued at the Delivery Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Public Offering Prospectus.
(f) On or after the date hereof there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or Virginia declared by federal or state authorities; (iii) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, if any such event specified in this clause (iii) would have such a materially adverse effect, in your judgment, as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Disclosure Package; or (iv) such a material adverse change in general economic, political, financial or international conditions affecting financial markets in the United States having a material adverse impact on trading prices of securities in general, as, in your judgment, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Disclosure Package.
17
(g) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to you copies of agreements between the Company and each of the executive officers and directors of the Company specified by you, in form of Exhibit A, pursuant to which such persons agree not to offer, sell, or contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, including any shares of Common Stock acquired in the Rights Offering or Public Offering, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, Common Stock on or before the 90th day after the date of this Agreement without your prior written consent.
(h) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to you on the date of this Agreement and on the Delivery Date certificates of officers of the Company satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein at and as of the date hereof and the Delivery Date, as to the performance by the Company of all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to the Delivery Date, as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (e) of this Section 7 and as to such other matters as you may reasonably request.
(i) The Common Stock and the Warrants shall have been duly listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriter and its counsel, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriter hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Delivery Date by the Underwriter. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile (with written confirmation of receipt).
8. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of the Company herein contained or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Rights Offering Prospectus, the Public Offering Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or appearing as a third party witness in connection with, any such action or claims as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the
18
Registration Statement, the Rights Offering Prospectus, the Public Offering Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.
(b) The Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Rights Offering Prospectus, the Public Offering Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Rights Offering Prospectus, the Public Offering Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or appearing as a third party witness in connection with, any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. The Company acknowledges that for purposes of this Section 8 the statements set forth under the heading “Underwriting” in the Public Offering Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriter for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Rights Offering Prospectus, the Public Offering Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus, and you confirm that such statements are correct.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection, unless and to the extent that such indemnifying party did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate
19
counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm or attorneys together with appropriate local counsel at any time for all indemnified parties not having actual or potential differing interests with any indemnified party. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to appoint counsel to defend such action and approval by the indemnified party of such counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement entered into without its consent and will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence and the third preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than thirty (30) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
20
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities sold by it as agent for the Company exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director, employee and agent of the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Underwriter under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.
9. Representations and Warranties to Survive.
The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Underwriter, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or any controlling person of the Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
10. Termination and Payment of Expenses.
(a) This Agreement shall be subject to termination in your absolute discretion, by notice given to the Company prior to the delivery of any payment for the Securities, if prior to such time there shall have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or Virginia declared by
21
federal or state authorities; (iii) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, if any such event specified in this clause (iii) would have such a materially adverse effect, in your judgment, as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Disclosure Package; or (iv) such a material adverse change in general economic, political, financial or international conditions affecting financial markets in the United States having a material adverse impact on trading prices of securities in general, as, in your judgment, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Disclosure Package.
(b) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to this Section 10, the Company shall not then be under any liability to the Underwriter except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof. Nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to relieve the Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
11. Notices.
In all dealings hereunder, the Underwriter shall act on behalf of the selected dealers, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any selected dealer made or given by you. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriter shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by mail or facsimile (with written confirmation of receipt) to Xxxxxxxxx & Company LLC, One Xxxxx Center, 000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X.

Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof provided, however, that any notice to the Underwriter pursuant to this Section 11 hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile to the Underwriter, which will be supplied to the Company by you upon request.
12. Successors.
This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriter and the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company, the officers and directors, employees and agents of the Underwriter and each person who controls the Company or the Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from the Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
13. Time of the Essence.
Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.
22
14. Business Day.
As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.
15. Applicable Law.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such commonwealth.
16. Captions.
The captions included in this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement.
17. Research Analyst Independence.
The Company acknowledges that the Underwriter’s research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriter with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by such Underwriter’s investment banking divisions. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriter is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
18. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
19. Partial Unenforceability.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or
23
provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with Xxxxxxxxx that, during a period of 90 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxxxx, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to any of the foregoing or (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such swap, hedge or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. In the event that either (i) during the period that begins on the date that is 15 calendar days plus three (3) business days before the last day of the 90-day restricted period and ends on the last day of the 90-day restricted period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the 90-day restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 90-day restricted period, the restrictions set forth herein will continue to apply until the expiration of the date that is 15 calendar days plus three (3) business days after the date on which the earnings release is issued or the material news or event related to the Company occurs. The Company shall promptly notify Xxxxxxxxx of any earnings releases, news or events that may give rise to an extension of the initial restricted period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees agree to be

bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust or family limited partnership or to any partnership, corporation or limited liability company controlled by the undersigned or by a member of the immediate family of the undersigned for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust or general partner of the family limited partnership or transferee, as the case may be, agrees to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) pledged in the future in a bona fide transaction, (iv) pursuant to the exercise by the undersigned of stock options that have been granted by the Company prior to, and are outstanding as of, the date of the Underwriting Agreement, where the Common Stock received upon any such exercise is held by the undersigned, individually or as fiduciary, in accordance with the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, (v) pursuant to Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) plans of the undersigned in effect as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement or (vi) with the prior written consent of Xxxxxxxxx. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may sell or make deemed sales of Common Stock to the Company pursuant to net exercises or cashless exercises of options outstanding on the date hereof to the extent that such shares of Common Stock are not subsequently sold by the Company on the open market for a period commencing on the date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 90 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement.
The undersigned now has and, except as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vi) above, for the duration of the Lock-Up Agreement will have good and marketable title to the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever, except with respect to any liens, encumbrances and claims that are disclosed to Xxxxxxxxx. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s common stock, except in compliance with this Lock-Up Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of the undersigned’s securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement.
The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. The undersigned agrees that the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement shall be binding also upon the successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the undersigned.
The undersigned understands that, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Stock to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-up Agreement.
This Lock-up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
