     WHEREAS,
the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1,
No. 333-124240 (the
“Registration Statement”), for its initial public offering of securities (the “IPO”) has been
declared effective as of the date hereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective
Date”); and

     WHEREAS, I-Bankers Securities Incorporated (the “Representative”) is acting as the
representative of the underwriters in the IPO; and

     WHEREAS, as described in the Company’s Registration Statement, and in accordance with the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, $54,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the IPO ($62,100,000
if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be delivered to the Trustee
to be deposited and held in a trust account for the benefit of the Company and the holders of the
Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, issued in the IPO (the
amount to be delivered to the Trustee will be referred to herein as the “Property”; the
stockholders for whose benefit the Trustee shall hold the Property will be referred to as the
“Public Stockholders,” and the Public Stockholders and the Company will be referred to together as
the “Beneficiaries”); and

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the
terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall hold the Property;

     IT IS AGREED:

1. Agreements and Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:

     (a) Hold the Property in trust for the
 Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, in a segregated
trust account (“Trust Account”) established by the Trustee at a branch of JPMorgan Chase NY Bank
selected by the Trustee;

     (b) Manage, supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein;

     (c) In a timely manner, upon the instruction of the Company, to invest and reinvest the
Property in any “Government Security.” As used herein, Government Security means any Treasury Bill
issued by the United States, having a maturity of one hundred and
eighty days or less or other high-quality, short-term
interest-bearing investments meeting conditions of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.

 

 

     (d) Collect and receive, when due, all principal and income arising from the Property, which
shall become part of the “Property,” as such term is used herein;

     (e) Notify the Company of all communications received by it with respect to any Property
requiring action by the Company;

     (f) Supply any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company in
connection with the Company’s preparation of the tax returns for the Trust Account;

     (g) Participate in any plan or proceeding for protecting or enforcing any right or interest
arising from the Property if, as and when instructed by the Company to do so;

     (h) Render to the Company and to the Representative, and to such other person as the Company
may instruct, monthly written statements of the activities of and amounts in the Trust Account
reflecting all receipts and disbursements of the Trust Account; and

     (i) Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after receipt of and only in accordance
with the terms of a letter (the “Termination Letter”), in a form substantially similar to that
attached hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B, signed on behalf of the Company by its President
or Chairman of the Board and Secretary, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and
distribute the Property in the Trust Account only as directed in the Termination Letter and the
other documents referred to therein.

2. Agreements and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby agrees and covenants to:

     (a) Give all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s
President or Chairman of the Board. In addition, except with respect to its duties under paragraph
1(i) above, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any
verbal or telephonic advice or instruction which it in good faith believes to be given by any one
of the persons authorized above to give written instructions, provided that the Company shall
promptly confirm such instructions in writing;

     (b) Hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against, any and all
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Trustee in
connection with any action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any
claim, or in connection with any claim or demand which in any way arises out of or relates to this
Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any income earned from
investment of the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand or
claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends
to seek indemnification under this paragraph, it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim
(hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Claim”). The Trustee shall have the right to conduct
and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim, provided,

Page 2 of 11

 

that the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of
counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such
action with its own counsel; and

     (c) Pay the Trustee an initial acceptance fee of $1,000 and an annual fee of $3,000 (it being
expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to pay such fee). The Company shall pay
the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and first year’s fee at the consummation of the IPO and
thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective Date. The Trustee shall refund to the Company the
fee (on a pro rata basis) with respect to any period after the liquidation of the Trust Fund. The
Trustee shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for all expenses paid or incurred
by it in the administration of its duties hereunder including, but not limited to, all counsel,
advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements and all taxes or other governmental charges. The
Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except as set forth
in this Section 2(c) and as may be provided in paragraph 2(b) hereof (it being expressly understood
that the Property shall not be used to make any payments to the Trustee under such paragraph).

3. Limitations of Liability. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to:

     (a) Take any action with respect to the Property, other than as directed in paragraph 1 hereof
and the Trustee shall have no liability to any party except for liability arising out of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct;

     (b) Institute any proceeding for the collection of any principal and income arising from, or
institute, appear in or defend any proceeding of any kind with respect to, any of the Property
unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Company given as provided herein to
do so and the Company shall have advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any expenses
incident thereto;

     (c) Change the investment of any Property, other than in compliance with paragraph 1(c);

     (d) Refund any depreciation in principal of any Property;

     (e) Assume that the authority of any person designated by the Company to give instructions
hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided otherwise in such designation, or unless the
Company shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority to the Trustee;

     (f) The other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any
action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best
judgment, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee may rely conclusively
and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of
counsel (including counsel chosen by the Trustee), statement, instrument, report or other paper or
document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions,
but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed
by the Trustee, in

Page 3 of 11

 

good faith, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The
Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or
rescission of this agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument
delivered to the Trustee signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the
Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;

     (g) Verify the correctness of the information set forth in the Registration Statement or to
confirm or assure that any acquisition made by the Company or any other action taken by it is as
contemplated by the Registration Statement; and

     (h) Pay any taxes on behalf of the Trust Account (it being expressly understood that the
Property shall not be used to pay any such taxes and that such taxes, if any, shall be paid by the
Company from funds not held in the Trust Account).

4. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as follows:

     (a) If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this
Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to locate a successor trustee. At such time
that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed by the Company
and has agreed to become subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the
management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee, including but not limited to the transfer
of copies of the reports and statements relating to the Trust Account, whereupon this Agreement
shall terminate; provided, however, that, in the event that the Company does not locate a successor
trustee within ninety days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may
submit an application to have the Property deposited with the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York and upon such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from any liability
whatsoever;

     (b) At such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1(i) hereof, and distributed the Property in accordance
with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement shall terminate except with respect
to Paragraph 2(b); or

     (c) On such date after
___, 2007 when the Trustee shall have deposited the Property with the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the event that, prior to such date,
the Trustee has not received a Termination Letter from the Company pursuant to paragraph 1(i).

5. Miscellaneous.

     (a) The Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security
procedures set forth below with respect to funds transferred from the Trust Account. Upon receipt
of written instructions, the Trustee will confirm such instructions with an Authorized Individual
at an Authorized Telephone Number listed on the attached Exhibit C. The Company and the Trustee
will each restrict access to confidential information relating to such security procedures to
authorized persons. Each

Page 4 of 11

 

party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe unauthorized persons
may have obtained access to such information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In
executing funds transfers, the Trustee will rely upon account numbers or other identifying numbers
of a beneficiary, beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank, rather than names. The Trustee shall not
be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in an account number or other
identifying number, provided it has accurately transmitted the numbers provided.

     (b) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of laws. It may be executed in several
counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and together shall constitute but one
instrument.

     (c) This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed,
amended or modified by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no
such change, amendment or modification may be made without the prior written consent of the
Representative. As to any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in any way relating to this
Agreement, each party waives the right to trial by jury.

     (d) The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court
located in the City of New York for purposes of resolving any disputes hereunder.

     (e) Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar
private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or by
facsimile transmission:

Exhibit 10.3

STOCK ESCROW AGREEMENT

     STOCK ESCROW AGREEMENT,
dated as of ___, 2005 (“Agreement”), by and among COMMUNITY
BANKERS ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), COMMUNITY BANKERS ACQUISITION,
LLC, GARY A. SIMANSON, DAVID ZALMAN, THE EUGENE S. PUTNAM, JR. 2004
IRREVOCABLE TRUST,  STEWART J. PAPERIN, KEITH WALZ, DAVID W. SPAINHOUR
AND CAROLYN E. SPAINHOUR TRUSTEES OF THE SPAINHOUR FAMILY TRUST U/A DATED
8/22/97 (collectively “Initial
Stockholders”) and CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, a New York corporation (the “Escrow
Agent”).

     WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated ___, 2005 (the
“Underwriting Agreement”), with I-Bankers Securities Incorporated (the “Representative”) acting as
representative of the several underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which,
among other matters, the Underwriters will agree to purchase 7,500,000 units (“Units”) of the
Company. Each Unit will consist of one share of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, and one Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, all as more fully described in the
Company’s final Prospectus, dated ___, 2005 (“Prospectus”) comprising part of the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-124240) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (“Registration Statement”), declared effective on ___, 2005 (“Effective Date”).

     WHEREAS, the Initial Stockholders have agreed as a condition of the sale of the Units to
deposit their shares of Common Stock of the Company, as set forth opposite their respective names
in Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively “Escrow Shares”), in escrow as hereinafter provided.

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Initial Stockholders desire that the Escrow Agent accept the
Escrow Shares, in escrow, to be held and disbursed as hereinafter provided.

     IT IS AGREED:

     1. Appointment
of Escrow Agent.

The Company and the Initial Stockholders hereby appoint the
Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow
Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such
terms.

     2. Deposit
of Escrow Shares. 

On or before the Effective Date, each of the Initial Stockholders
shall deliver to the Escrow Agent certificates representing his respective Escrow Shares, to be
held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Initial Stockholder
acknowledges that the certificate representing his Escrow Shares is legended to reflect the deposit
of such Escrow Shares under this Agreement.

 

     3. Disbursement
of the Escrow Shares. 

The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares until the
third anniversary of the Effective Date (“Escrow Period”), on which date it shall, upon written
instructions from each Initial Stockholder, disburse each of the Initial Stockholder’s Escrow
Shares to such Initial Stockholder; provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent is
notified by the Company pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof that the Company is being liquidated at any
time during the Escrow Period, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy the certificates
representing the Escrow Shares and; provided further, that if, after the Company consummates a

 

1

 

Business Combination (as such term is defined in the Registration Statement), it (or the surviving
entity) subsequently consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction
which results in all of the stockholders of such entity having the right to exchange their shares
of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of
a certificate, executed by the President of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the
Escrow Agent, that such transaction is then being consummated, release the Escrow Shares to the
Initial Stockholders upon consummation of the transaction so that they can similarly participate.
The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the disbursement or destruction of
the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Section 3.

     4. Rights of Initial Stockholders in Escrow Shares.

          4.1 Voting Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the terms of the Insider Letter
described in Section 4.4 hereof and except as herein provided, the Initial Stockholders shall
retain all of their rights as stockholders of the Company during the Escrow Period, including,
without limitation, the right to vote such shares.

          4.2 Dividends
and Other Distributions in Respect of the Escrow Shares. During the
Escrow Period, all dividends or other distributions payable in stock or other non-cash property shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As
used herein, the term “Escrow Shares” shall be deemed to
include any such dividends or distributions.

          4.3 Restrictions on Transfer. During the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other
disposition may be made of any or all of the Escrow Shares except (i) by gift to a member of
Initial Stockholder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is an Initial
Stockholder or a member of an Initial Stockholder’s immediate family, (ii) by virtue of the laws of
descent and distribution upon death of any Initial Stockholder, (iii) pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order, or (iv) pursuant to a transfer of record ownership whereby there is no
change in beneficial ownership; provided, however, that such permissive transfers may be
implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and of the Insider Letter signed by the Initial Stockholder
transferring the Escrow Shares and any transferred Escrow Shares shall
continue to be hold by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement. During the Escrow Period, the Initial Stockholders shall not pledge
or grant a security interest in the Escrow Shares or grant a security interest in their rights
under this Agreement.

          4.4 Insider Letters. Each of the Initial Stockholders has executed a letter agreement
with the Representative and the Company, dated as indicated on Exhibit A hereto, and which is filed
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (“Insider Letter”), respecting the rights and
obligations of such Initial Stockholder in certain events, including but not limited to the
liquidation of the Company.

     5. Concerning the Escrow Agent.

          5.1 Good Faith Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may

2

 

rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand,
certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent),
statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the
validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any
information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed
or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or
demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced
by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties
or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent
thereto.

          5.2 Indemnification. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered
by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim
which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services
of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Escrow Shares held by it hereunder, other than expenses or
losses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after
the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action,
suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing. In the event
of the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in
the nature of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition of the
Escrow Shares or it may deposit the Escrow Shares with the clerk of any appropriate court or it may
retain the Escrow Shares pending receipt of a final, non-appealable order of a court having
jurisdiction over all of the parties hereto directing to whom and under what circumstances the
Escrow Shares are to be disbursed and delivered. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive
in the event the Escrow Agent resigns or is discharged pursuant to Sections 5.5 or 5.6 below.

          5.3 Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from
the Company for all services rendered by it hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to
reimbursement from the Company for all expenses paid or incurred by it in the administration of its
duties hereunder including, but not limited to, all counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and
disbursements and all taxes or other governmental charges.

          5.4 Further Assurances. From time to time on and after the date hereof, the Company
and the Initial Stockholders shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such
further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow
Agent shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this
Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting
hereunder.

          5.5 Resignation. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its
duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto written notice and such
resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided. Such resignation shall become effective
at such time that the Escrow Agent shall turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by the
Company, the Escrow Shares held hereunder. If no new escrow agent is so

3

 

     appointed within the 60 day period following the giving of such notice of resignation, the
Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Shares with any court it reasonably deems appropriate.

          5.6 Discharge of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall resign and be discharged from
its duties as escrow agent hereunder if so requested in writing at any time by the other parties
hereto, jointly, provided, however, that such resignation shall become effective only upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor escrow agent as provided in Section 5.5.
