and warrants to Purchaser as follows:


 


4.1          Organization
and Authority.


 


4.1.1       Organization
Matters of Company and Its Subsidiaries.


 


4.1.1.1            Company
is a bank holding company registered with the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act. Company is a business corporation validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and has all requisite corporate power and authority
to conduct its business and activities as presently conducted, to own its properties, and to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents. Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each
other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct
of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


4.1.1.2            The
entities listed on Schedule 4.1.1.2 are the only direct or indirect Subsidiaries of Company. Bank
has been duly chartered and is validly existing as a Virginia-chartered bank and each other Subsidiary has been duly organized
and is validly existing under the jurisdiction of its incorporation, in each case in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its incorporation, has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business and
is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification
is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so
to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. All of the issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock or other equity interests in each Subsidiary of Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully
paid and non-assessable and are owned by Company, directly or through Subsidiaries of Company, free and clear of any security interest,
mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or claim; none of the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in,
any Subsidiary of Company were issued in violation of the preemptive or similar rights of any security holder of such Subsidiary
of Company or any other Person.


 


4.1.1.3            The
deposit accounts of Bank are insured by the FDIC up to applicable limits. Neither Company nor Bank has received any notice or other
information indicating that Bank is not an “insured depository institution” as defined in 12 U.S.C. Section 1813,
nor has any event occurred which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the status of Bank as an FDIC-insured institution.
Company and its Subsidiaries have made payment of all franchise and similar taxes in all of the respective jurisdictions in which
they are incorporated, chartered or qualified, except for any such taxes (i) where the failure to pay such taxes will not
have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the validity of which is being contested in good faith or (iii) for which proper
reserves have been set aside on the books of Company or any applicable Subsidiary of Company, as the case may be.


 






    9

Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Company’s preferred stock issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding
capital stock of Bank is owned beneficially and of record by Company and has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully
paid and non-assessable. All of the outstanding capital stock of Company has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully
paid and non-assessable. Other than pursuant to Company’s equity incentive and other benefit plans duly adopted by Company’s
Board of Directors, as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding options, rights, warrants or other agreements or instruments
obligating Company to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of the capital stock
of Company or obligating Company to grant, extend or enter into any such agreement or commitment to any Person other than Company.

licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued
by the appropriate Governmental Agencies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them except where the failure to possess
such Governmental Licenses would not, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; Company and each Subsidiary
of Company are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in
full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to

Financial Statements. The financial statements of Company included in Company’s
Reports (including the related notes, where applicable), which have been provided to Purchaser or are otherwise publicly available,
(i) have been prepared from, and are in accordance with, the books and records of Company or Bank, as applicable; (ii) fairly
present in all material respects the results of operations, cash flows, changes in stockholders’ equity and financial position

(iii) complied as to form, as of their respective dates of filing in all material respects with applicable accounting and
banking requirements as applicable, with respect thereto; and (iv) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied during the periods involved, except, in each case, as indicated in such statements or in the notes thereto. The books and
records of Company and Bank have been, and are being, maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other
applicable legal and accounting requirements. Neither Company nor Bank has any material liability of any nature whatsoever (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due), except for those liabilities that are reflected or
reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet (or notes thereto) of Company contained in Company’s Reports for Company’s
most recently completed quarterly or annual fiscal period, as applicable, and for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practice or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


4.4.2            Absence
of Default. Since June 30, 2020, no event has occurred which either of itself
or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would give any creditor of Company the right to accelerate the maturity
of any material Indebtedness of Company. Company is not in default under any other Lease, agreement or instrument, or any law,
rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree, determination or award, non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


4.4.3            Solvency.
After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Company has capital sufficient to carry
on its business and is solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature. No transfer of property is being made and no Indebtedness
is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud
either present or future creditors of Company or any Subsidiary of Company.


 


4.4.4            Ownership
of Property. Company, Bank and each of their Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title as to all real property owned by such entity and good title to all assets and properties owned by Company and such Subsidiary
in the conduct of its businesses, whether such assets and properties are real or personal, tangible or intangible, including assets
and property reflected in the most recent consolidated balance sheet of Company contained in Company’s Reports or acquired
subsequent thereto (except to the extent that such assets and properties have been disposed of in the ordinary course of business,
since the date of such consolidated balance sheet), subject to no encumbrances, liens, mortgages, security interests or pledges,
except (i) those items which secure liabilities for public deposits or statutory obligations or any discount with, borrowing
from or other obligations to the Federal Home Loan Bank or FRB, inter-bank credit facilities, reverse repurchase agreements or
any transaction by Bank acting in a fiduciary capacity, (ii) statutory liens for amounts not yet due or delinquent or that
are being contested in good faith and (iii) such liens that do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the
value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by Company, Bank
or any of their Subsidiaries. Company, Bank and each of their Subsidiaries, as lessee, has the right under valid and existing Leases
of real and personal properties that are material to Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, in the conduct of its business
to occupy or use all such properties as presently occupied and used by it. Such existing Leases and commitments to Lease constitute
or will constitute operating Leases for both tax and financial accounting purposes except as otherwise disclosed in Company’s
Reports and the Lease expense and minimum rental commitments with respect to such Leases and Lease commitments are as disclosed
in all material respects in Company’s Reports.

knowledge, (i) any such restrictions threatened, (ii) any agreements, memoranda, commitment letters, supervisory letters
or similar regulatory correspondence, or other commitments being sought by any Governmental Agency, or (iii) any legal or
regulatory violations previously identified by, or penalties or other remedial action previously imposed by, any Governmental Agency

4.6.3            Pending
Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or written agreements pending,
or, to Company’s knowledge, threatened or proposed, against Company, Bank or any of their Subsidiaries at law or in equity

Material Misstatement or Omission. None of the representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered to Purchaser by or on behalf of Company,
Bank or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, when

    14


     


    

 


4.8          Internal
Accounting Controls. Each of Company and Bank has established and maintains a system
of internal control over financial reporting that pertains to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of Company’s assets (on a consolidated basis), provides reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that Company’s and Bank’s
receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Company management and Board of Directors, and
provides reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets
of Company on a consolidated basis that could have a Material Adverse Effect. Such internal control over financial reporting is
effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Company’s financial reporting and the preparation
of Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Since December 31, 2019, there has
not been and there currently is not (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the design or operation of Company’s
internal control over financial reporting which is reasonably likely to adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize
and report financial information, or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
who have a role in Company’s or Bank’s internal control over financial reporting. Company (A) has implemented
and maintains disclosure controls and procedures reasonably designed and maintained to ensure that material information relating
to Company is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Company by others within Company and
(B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to Company’s outside auditors and the
audit committee of Company’s Board of Directors any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Company’s internal controls
over financial reporting. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purposes for which they were established.


 


4.9          Tax
Matters. Company and Bank have (i) filed all material foreign, U.S. federal,
state and local tax returns, information returns and similar reports that they are required to file (taking into account extensions)
with governmental tax agencies, and all such tax returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects, and (ii) paid
all material taxes required to be paid by them (taking into account extensions) and any other material tax assessment, fine or
penalty levied against them other than taxes (x) currently payable without penalty or interest, or (y) being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings.


 


4.10        Exempt
Offering. Assuming the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations and warranties
set forth in this Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Subordinated Note
by Company to Purchaser.


 


4.11        Representations
and Warranties Generally. The representations and warranties of Company set forth
in this Agreement and in any certificate or other document delivered to Purchaser by or on behalf of Company, Bank or any of their
Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that do not contain a “Material Adverse Effect” qualification
or other express materiality or similar qualification are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, except
where the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct does not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided,
however, that any such representations and warranties made as of a specified date need only be true and correct as of such
date. The representations and warranties of Company set forth in this Agreement and in any certificate or other document delivered
to Purchaser by or on behalf of Company, Bank or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that
contain a “Material Adverse Effect” qualification or any other express materiality or similar qualification are true
and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that any such representations and warranties
made as of a specified date need only be true and correct as of such date.

or such Affiliate’s business and upon terms consistent with applicable laws and regulations and reasonably found by the appropriate

of Company, Bank or any of their Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or claim, so long as the
validity thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and appropriate reserves therefor shall be maintained
on the books of Company, Bank and such other Subsidiary.


 


5.3.4            Corporate
Existence. Company will do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of Company and each Subsidiary of Company and Bank and the rights

and Purchaser will work together in good faith to execute and deliver all agreements as reasonably necessary in order to restructure
the applicable portions of the obligations evidenced by the Subordinated Note to qualify as Tier 2 Capital;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.3.6 shall limit Company’s right to redeem the Subordinated

Section 4(b) of the Subordinated Note.

take any and all necessary remedial action in connection with any Condition or Release or threatened Condition or Release on, under
or about any Property in order to comply in all material respects with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws; provided, however,

or that the Subordinated Note purchased by Purchaser will ever be able to be lawfully resold, pledged or otherwise transferred.


 






    20


     


    

 


6.12        Role
of Financial Advisor. Purchaser will purchase the Subordinated Note directly from
Company and not from the Financial Advisor, and Purchaser understands that neither the Financial Advisor nor any other broker or
dealer has any obligation to make a market in the Subordinated Notes. Purchaser understands that the Financial Advisor has acted
solely as a financial advisor to Company and not as placement agent or underwriter in connection with offer and sale of the Subordinated
Note.


 


6.13        Tier
2 Capital. If all or any portion of the Subordinated Note ceases to qualify for inclusion
as Tier 2 Capital, other than due to the limitation imposed on the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five (5) years
immediately preceding the Maturity Date of the Subordinated Note, Company will immediately notify Purchaser, and thereafter, Company
and Purchaser will work together in good faith to execute and deliver all agreements as reasonably necessary in order to restructure
the applicable portions of the obligations evidenced by the Subordinated Note to qualify as Tier 2 Capital;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.13 shall limit Company’s right to redeem the Subordinated
Note upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event pursuant to Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) of the Subordinated
Note.


 


6.14        Accuracy
of Representations. Purchaser understands that Company is relying and will rely upon
the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, and agrees that if any of the representations or acknowledgements made by it are no longer accurate as of the
Closing Date, or if any of the agreements made by it are breached on or prior to the Closing Date, it shall promptly notify Company.


 


7.            MISCELLANEOUS.


 


7.1          Prohibition
on Assignment by Company. Except as described in Section 9(b) of the Subordinated
Note, Company may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Subordinated Note
without the prior written consent of Purchaser. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note, any transfer
of such Subordinated Note must be made in accordance with the Assignment Form attached thereto and the requirements and restrictions
thereof.


 


7.2          Time
of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.


 


7.3          Waiver
or Amendment. No waiver or amendment of any term, provision, condition, covenant or
agreement herein or in the Subordinated Notes shall be effective except with the prior written consent of Purchaser. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Company may amend or supplement the Subordinated Notes without the consent of Purchaser to cure any ambiguity, defect
or inconsistency or to provide for uncertificated Subordinated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Subordinated Notes,
or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of Purchaser. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising, by
Purchaser, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided
by law. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided at
law or in equity. No notice or demand on Company in any case shall, in and of itself, entitle Company to any other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Purchaser to any other or further action in
any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Purchaser to or of any breach or default
by Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any
other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Company hereunder. Failure on the part of Purchaser
to complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall
not constitute a waiver by Purchaser of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach
or default by Company.

7.4         Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable or invalid or contrary to law, or the inclusion of which would adversely
affect the validity, legality or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be of no effect and, in such case, all the remaining terms
and provisions of this Agreement shall subsist and be fully effective according to the tenor of this Agreement the same as though
any such invalid portion had never been included herein. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if any provisions
of this Agreement or the application thereof are held invalid or unenforceable only as to particular persons or situations, the
remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or situations other than those to which it shall
have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but shall continue valid and enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law.


 


7.5         Notices.
Any notice which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be deemed to have been given if in writing
and if delivered personally, or if mailed, postage prepaid, by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
or if delivered by a responsible overnight commercial courier promising next business day delivery, addressed:

or to such other address or addresses as

as aforesaid or, if sent by overnight courier, the Business Day following the date of delivery to such courier (provided next business
day delivery was requested).

7.6         Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; except that, (i) unless Purchaser consents in writing, no assignment
made by Company in violation of this Agreement shall be effective or confer any rights on any purported assignee of Company;
and (ii) unless an assignment by Purchaser complies with the Assignment Form attached to the Subordinated Note, no such
assignment shall be effective or confer any rights on any purported assignee of Purchaser. The term “successors and assigns”
will not include a purchaser of the Subordinated Note from Purchaser merely because of such purchase but shall include a purchaser
of the Subordinated Note pursuant to an assignment complying with the Assignment Form attached to the Subordinated Note.


 


7.7         No
Joint Venture. Nothing contained herein or in any document executed pursuant hereto
and no action or inaction whatsoever on the part of Purchaser, shall be deemed to make a Purchaser a partner or joint venturer
with Company.


 


7.8         Documentation.
All documents and other matters required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or furnished to Purchaser shall
be in form and substance satisfactory to such Purchaser.


 


7.9         Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the Subordinated Note, along with the exhibits thereto
and any nondisclosure agreements between Purchaser and Company, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than by supplemental written agreement
executed by the parties hereto. No party, in entering into this Agreement, has relied upon any representation, warranty, covenant,
condition or other term that is not set forth in this Agreement or in the Subordinated Note.


 


7.10       Choice
of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the Commonwealth of Virginia without giving effect to its laws or principles of conflict of laws. Nothing herein shall be deemed
to limit any rights, powers or privileges which Purchaser may have pursuant to any law of the United States of America or any rule,
regulation or order of any department or agency thereof and nothing herein shall be deemed to make unlawful any transaction or
conduct by a Purchaser which is lawful pursuant to, or which is permitted by, any of the foregoing.


 


7.11       No
Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Company and
Purchaser, and no other Person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon to any extent
or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other Person have any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third
party beneficiary hereunder.


 


7.12       Legal
Tender of United States. All payments hereunder shall be made in coin or currency
which at the time of payment is legal tender in the United States of America for public and private debts.


 






    23


     


    

 


7.13       Reinstatement
of Obligations. To the extent that Purchaser receives any payment on account of Company’s
obligations under the Subordinated Note and any such payment and/or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under
any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment received, Company’s
obligations under the Subordinated Note or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and
effect, as if such payment(s) had not been received by Purchaser and applied on account of Company’s obligations; provided,
however, if Purchaser successfully contests any such invalidation, declaration, set aside, subordination or other order to
pay any such payment to any third party, Company’s obligations to Purchaser that otherwise would have been revived pursuant
to this subsection shall be deemed satisfied.


 


7.14       Captions;
Counterparts. Captions contained in this Agreement in no way define, limit or extend
the scope or intent of their respective provisions. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all
of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation
of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature
page were an original thereof.


 


7.15       Knowledge;
Discretion. All references herein to Purchaser’s or Company’s knowledge
shall be deemed to mean the knowledge of such party based on the actual knowledge of such party’s Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer or such other persons holding equivalent offices, and such knowledge as would reasonably be expected
to come to the attention of such officers in the performance of their respective duties. Unless specified to the contrary herein,
all references herein to an exercise of discretion or judgment by Purchaser, to the making of a determination or designation by
Purchaser, to the application of Purchaser’s discretion or opinion, to the granting or withholding of Purchaser’s consent
or approval, to the consideration of whether a matter or thing is satisfactory or acceptable to Purchaser, or otherwise involving
the decision making of Purchaser, shall be deemed to mean that such Purchaser shall decide using the reasonable discretion or judgment
of a prudent lender.


 


7.16       Waiver
Of Right To Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING
IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF COMPANY OR PURCHASER. THE
PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT
LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL. THE PARTIES FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT (I) THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (II) THIS WAIVER HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL AND IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR ENTRY INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND (III) THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF SUCH TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS
AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.


 






    24


     


    

 


7.17       Expenses.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties will bear and pay all other costs and expenses incurred by
it or on its behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement.

hereby for a period of one year after the date hereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained
