|
|
|
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which

|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any

|
Provided, however
, That:
|
(B)
|
|
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this
section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant
to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
|
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to section
13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to applicable law, the
registrants Articles of Incorporation, as it may be amended from time to time, the registrants
Bylaws or the registrants indemnification agreements, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in a successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
II-3

those persons interests with the interests of the Companys shareholders. This Plan will
supersede and replace the Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive

death, or (ii) one year from the Participants termination of employment on account
of Disability or death; or (b) the expiration of the Options term.
(iii)
After Participants Death
. If a Participant dies and if the
Participants stock option agreement provides that part or all of the Option may be
exercised after the Participants death, then such portion may be exercised by the
executor or administrator of the Participants estate during the time period
specified in the stock option agreement, but not later than the expiration of the
Options term.
(e)
Limit on Exercise of Incentive Stock Options.
An Incentive Stock Option, by its terms,
shall be exercisable in any calendar year only to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined at the Date of Grant) of the Company Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable by the Participant for the first time during the calendar year does not
exceed $100,000 (the Limitation Amount). Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and all
other plans of the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company shall be aggregated for
purposes of determining whether the Limitation Amount has been exceeded. The Board may impose such
conditions as it deems appropriate on an Incentive Stock Option to ensure that the foregoing
requirement is met. If Incentive Stock Options that first become exercisable in a calendar year
exceed the Limitation Amount, the excess Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options to
the extent permitted by law.
(f)
Options Forfeited Upon Termination of Employment for Cause.
If a Participants employment
or services is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Participants Options, both vested and
unvested, shall terminate as of the date of the misconduct, as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion.
6
7.
Method of Exercise of Options
.
(a)
Exercise.
Options may be exercised by giving written notice of the exercise to the
Company, stating the Option being exercised and the number of shares the Participant has elected to
purchase under the Option.
(b)
Payment.
In no event shall any shares be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option
until the Participant has made full payment for the shares of Company Stock (including payment of
the exercise price and any Applicable Withholding Taxes). Company Stock purchased upon the
exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows, provided that the
Committee may impose such limitations and restrictions on payments with shares of Company Stock as
the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable:
(i) in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company;
(ii) by delivery of Company Stock that the Participant has previously acquired
and owned (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise), provided that such
method of payment is then permitted under applicable law and the Company Stock was
owned by the Participant at least six months prior to such delivery (or such longer
or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial
accounting purposes);
(iii) by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
irrevocable instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the
Company, from the sale or loan proceeds with respect to the sale of Company Stock or
a loan secured by Company Stock, the amount necessary to pay the exercise price and,
if required by the Committee, Applicable Withholding Taxes; or
(iv) by any combination of the above permitted forms of payment.
(c)
Delivery of Shares.
Upon the exercise of an Option in compliance with the provisions of
this section, the receipt by the Company of the payment for the shares of Company Stock so
acquired, and satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 7 of the Plan, the Company shall
deliver or cause to be delivered, within a reasonable time, to the Participant exercising the
Option, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to
which the Option is exercised. The shares of Company Stock shall be registered in the name of the
exercising Participant or in such name jointly with the Participant as the Participant may direct
in the written notice of exercise. The Company may place on any certificate representing Company
Stock issued upon the exercise of an Option any legend deemed desirable by the Companys counsel to
comply with federal or state securities laws. The Company may require of the Participant a
customary indication of his or her investment intent.
(d)
Conditions on Delivery of Stock
. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares
of Company Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares
7
previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or
removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Companys counsel, all other
legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied,
including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules
and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such
representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements
of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations.
(e)
Disqualifying Disposition.
If a Participant disposes of shares acquired upon exercise of
an Incentive Stock Option within two (2) years from the date the Option is granted or within one
(1) year after the issuance of such shares to the Participant, the Participant shall notify the
Company of such disposition and provide information regarding the date of disposition, sale price,
number of shares disposed of, and any other information relating thereto that the Company may
reasonably request.
(f)
Compliance with Rule 16b-3.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Awards shall
always be granted and exercised in such a manner as to conform to the provisions of Rule 16b-3.
8.
Restricted Stock Awards
.
(a)
Grant.
Whenever the Committee deems it appropriate to grant a Restricted Stock Award,
notice shall be given to the Participant stating the number of shares of Restricted Stock for which
the Award is granted, the Date of Grant, and the terms and conditions to which the Award is
subject. Certificates representing the shares shall be issued in the name of the Participant,
subject to the restrictions imposed by the Plan and the Committee. A Restricted Stock Award may be
made by the Committee in its discretion without cash consideration.
(b)
Restrictions on Transferability and Vesting of Restricted Stock Awards.
The Committee may
place such restrictions on the transferability and vesting of Restricted Stock as the Committee
deems appropriate, including restrictions relating to continued employment and financial
performance goals. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may provide performance or Change
in Control acceleration parameters under which all, or a portion, of the Restricted Stock will vest
on the Companys achievement of established performance objectives. Restricted Stock may not be
sold, assigned, transferred, disposed of, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered until the
restrictions on such shares shall have lapsed or shall have been removed pursuant to subsection (c)
below.
(c)
Lapse of Restrictions on Transferability.
The Committee shall establish as to each
Restricted Stock Award the terms and conditions upon which the restrictions on transferability set
forth in paragraph (b) above shall lapse. Such terms and conditions may include, without
limitation, the passage of time, the meeting of performance goals, the lapsing of such restrictions
as a result of the Disability, death or retirement of the Participant, or the occurrence of a
Change in Control.
8
(d)
Rights of the Participant and Restrictions.
A Participant shall hold shares of Restricted
Stock subject to the restrictions set forth in the Award agreement and in the Plan. In other
respects, the Participant shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of
Restricted Stock, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such shares and the right to
receive all cash dividends and other distributions paid thereon. Certificates representing
Restricted Stock shall bear a legend referring to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and the
Participants Award agreement. If stock dividends are declared on Restricted Stock, such stock
dividends or other distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying shares
of Restricted Stock and shall be paid no later than 2
1
/
2
months after the end of the year in which
the underlying Restricted Stock vests.
9.
Other Stock-Based Awards
.
(a) The Committee is authorized to grant other types of equity-based or equity-related Awards
not otherwise described by the terms of the Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of
unrestricted shares of Company Stock) to Participants in such amounts and subject to such terms and
conditions as the Committee shall determine. Such Awards shall be referred to as Other
Stock-Based Awards. Each such Other Stock-Based Award may involve the transfer of actual shares
to Participants or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares of Company
Stock. Awards under the Companys Long-Term Incentive Plan shall be allocated from Company Stock
reserved under Section 4(a) of this Plan.
(b) Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of shares or units or an
equivalent measurement based on shares, as determined by the Committee. If the value of an Other
Stock-Based Award will be based on the appreciation of shares from an initial value determined as
of the date of grant, then such initial value shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a
share on the date of grant of such Other Stock-Based Award.
10.
Applicable Withholding Taxes
. Each Participant shall agree, as a condition of
receiving an Award, to pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company
regarding the payment of, all Applicable Withholding Taxes with respect to the Award. Until the
Applicable Withholding Taxes have been paid or arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been
made, no stock certificates (or, in the case of Restricted Stock, no stock certificates free of a
restrictive legend) shall be issued to the Participant. As an alternative to making a cash payment
to the Company to satisfy Applicable Withholding Tax obligations, the Committee may establish
procedures permitting the Participant to elect to (a) deliver shares of already owned Company Stock
or (b) have the Company retain that number of shares of Company Stock that would satisfy all or a
specified portion of the Applicable Withholding Taxes. Any such election shall be made only in
accordance with procedures established by the Committee to avoid a charge to earnings for financial
accounting purposes and in accordance with Rule 16b-3.
9
11.
Nontransferability of Awards
.
(a) In general, Awards, by their terms, shall not be transferable by the Participant except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution or except as described below, without prior written
approval from the Committee. Options shall be exercisable, during the Participants lifetime, only
by the Participant or by his guardian or legal representative.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and subject to federal and state securities laws,
the Committee may on a case by case basis grant or amend Nonstatutory Stock Options that permit a
Participant to transfer the Options to one or more immediate family members, to a trust for the
benefit of immediate family members, or to a partnership, limited liability company, or other
entity the only partners, members, or interest-holders of which are among the Participants
immediate family members. Consideration may not be paid for the transfer of Options. The
transferee of an Option shall be subject to all conditions applicable to the Option prior to its
transfer. The agreement granting the Option shall set forth the transfer conditions and
restrictions. The Committee may impose on any transferable Option and on stock issued upon the
exercise of an Option such limitations and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate in its
sole discretion.
12.
Termination, Modification, Change
.
(a) If not sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate at the close of business
on December 31, 2019. The Board may at any time terminate, suspend, or modify the Plan; provided
that the Board shall not, without stockholder approval, make any revision or amendment that would
cause the Plan to fail to comply with any requirement of applicable law, regulation, or rule if
such amendment were not approved by the stockholders of the Company including, (1) increasing the
total number of shares of Company Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the
Plan (except pursuant to Section 13), (2) expanding the class of persons eligible to receive
Awards, or (3) materially increasing the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may unilaterally amend the Plan and Awards as it deems
appropriate to ensure compliance with Rule 16b-3 and to cause Incentive Stock Options to meet the
requirements of the Code and regulations thereunder.
(b) No Awards shall be made under the Plan after its termination, and no termination or
amendment of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Participant or his Beneficiary, adversely
affect a Participants rights under an Award previously granted to him, but it shall be
conclusively presumed that any adjustment to cause Incentive Stock Options to meet the requirements
of the Code and regulations thereunder or any adjustment pursuant to Section 13, does not adversely
affect any such right.
(c) Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including,
without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the
terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options
or Other Stock-Based Awards or cancel outstanding
10
Options or Other Stock-Based Awards in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Other
Stock-Based Awards with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original
Options or Other Stock-Based Awards without shareholder approval.
13.
Change in Capital Structure
.
(a) In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares, spin-off,
reorganization, recapitalization or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or
other change in the Companys capital stock (including, but not limited to, the creation or
issuance to shareholders generally of rights, options or warrants for the purchase of common stock
or preferred stock of the Company), the number and kind of shares of stock or securities of the
Company to be issued under the Plan (under outstanding Awards and Awards to be granted in the
future), the exercise price of options, and other relevant provisions shall be appropriately
adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be binding on all persons. If the adjustment
would produce fractional shares with respect to any Award, the Committee may adjust appropriately
the number of shares covered by the Award so as to eliminate the fractional shares.
(b) In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization or merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation, the result of which is that the Company becomes a majority owned subsidiary
of another entity (the Parent), then the Committee may take such actions with respect to Awards
as the Committee deems appropriate (whose determination shall be binding on all persons), including
without limitation causing any such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted
therefor, by the Parent.
(c) In the event the Company distributes to its stockholders a dividend, or sells or causes to
be sold to a person other than the Company or a subsidiary shares of stock in any corporation (a
Spinoff Company) which, immediately before the distribution or sale, was a majority owned
subsidiary of the Company, the Committee shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to make such
adjustments as the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee may make adjustments in the number
and kind of shares or other securities to be issued under the Plan (under outstanding Awards and
Awards to be granted in the future), the exercise price of Options, and other relevant provisions,
and, without limiting the foregoing, may substitute securities of a Spinoff Company for securities
of the Company. The Committee shall make such adjustments as it determines to be appropriate,
considering the economic effect of the distribution or sale on the interests of the Company s
shareholders and the Participants in the businesses operated by the Spinoff Company. The
Committees determination shall be binding on all persons. If the adjustment would produce
fractional shares with respect to any Award, the Committee may adjust appropriately the number of
shares covered by the Award so as to eliminate the fractional shares.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may take the foregoing
actions without the consent of any Participant, and the Committees determination shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons for all purposes. The Committee shall make its
determinations consistent with Rule 16b-3 and the applicable provisions of the Code.
11
(e) To the extent required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes,
adjustments made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 13 to outstanding Awards shall be made
so that both (i) the aggregate intrinsic value of an Award immediately after the adjustment is not
greater than or less than the Awards aggregate intrinsic value before the adjustment and (ii) the
ratio of the exercise price per share to the market value per share is not reduced.
14.
Change in Control
. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the
Committee may take such actions with respect to Awards as the Committee deems appropriate. These
actions may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
(a) At the time the Award is made, provide for the acceleration of the vesting schedule
relating to the exercise or realization of the Award so that the Award may be exercised or realized
in full on or before a date initially fixed by the Committee;
(b) Provide for the purchase or settlement of any such Award by the Company for any amount of
cash equal to the amount which could have been obtained upon the exercise of such Award or
realization of a Participants rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable;
(c) Make adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect
such Change in Control; provided, however, that to the extent required to avoid a charge to
earnings for financial accounting purposes, such adjustments shall be made so that both (i) the
aggregate intrinsic value of an Award immediately after the adjustment is not less than or greater
than the Awards aggregate intrinsic value before the Award and (ii) the ratio of the exercise
price per share to the market value per share is not reduced; or
(d) Cause any such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefore,
by the acquiring or surviving corporation in such Change in Control.
15.
Administration of the Plan
.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, who shall be appointed by the Board. If
no Committee is appointed, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. To the extent required by
Rule 16b-3, all Awards shall be made by members of the Committee who are Non-Employee Directors
as that term is defined in Rule 16b-3, or by the Board. Awards that are intended to be
performance-based for purposes of Code Section 162(m) shall be made by the Committee, or
subcommittee of the Committee, comprised solely of two or more outside directors as that term is
defined for purposes of Code Section 162(m).
(b) Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full and final
authority to impose such limitations or conditions upon an Award as the Committee deems appropriate
to achieve the objectives of the Award and the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing and in
addition to the powers set forth elsewhere in the Plan, the Committee shall have the power and
complete discretion to determine (i) which eligible persons shall receive an Award
12
and the nature of the Award, (ii) the number of shares of Company Stock to be covered by each
Award, (iii) whether Options shall be Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options,
(iv) the Fair Market Value of Company Stock, (v) the time or times when an Award shall be granted,
(vi) whether an Award shall become vested over a period of time, according to a performance-based
vesting schedule or otherwise, and when it shall be fully vested, (vii) the terms and conditions
under which restrictions imposed upon an Award shall lapse, (viii) to the extent permissible under
Code Section 409A, whether a Change in Control exists, (ix) factors relevant to the lapse of
restrictions on Restricted Stock or Options, (x) when Options may be exercised, (xi) whether to
approve a Participants election with respect to Applicable Withholding Taxes, (xii) conditions
relating to the length of time before disposition of Company Stock received in connection with an
Award is permitted, (xiii) notice provisions relating to the sale of Company Stock acquired under
the Plan, and (xiv) any additional requirements relating to Awards that the Committee deems
appropriate.
(c) The Committee shall have the power to amend the terms of previously granted Awards so long
as the terms as amended are consistent with the terms of the Plan and, where applicable, consistent
with the qualification of an Option as an Incentive Stock Option. The consent of the Participant
must be obtained with respect to any amendment that would adversely affect the Participants rights
under the Award, except that such consent shall not be required if such amendment is for the
purpose of complying with Rule 16b-3 or any requirement of the Code applicable to the Award.
(d) The Committee may adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan. The Committee
shall have the express discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan and the Award
agreements, to resolve any ambiguities, to define any terms, and to make any other determinations
required by the Plan or an Award agreement. The interpretation and construction of any provisions
of the Plan or an Award agreement by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. The Committee
may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Company, and shall not incur any liability for
any action taken in good faith in reliance upon the advice of counsel.
(e) A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and all actions of
the Committee shall be taken by a majority of the members present. Any action may be taken by a
written instrument signed by all of the members, and any action so taken shall be fully effective
as if it had been taken at a meeting.
16.
Notice
. All notices and other communications required or permitted to be given
under this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered
personally, electronically, or mailed first class, postage prepaid, as follows: (a) if to the
Company - at its principal business address to the attention of the Secretary; (b) if to any
Participant at the last address of the Participant known to the sender at the time the notice or
other communication is sent.
17.
Compliance with Code Section 409A
. To the extent applicable, this Plan is
intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and the Committee shall interpret and administer
the Plan in accordance therewith. In addition, any provision, including, without
13
limitation, any definition, in this Plan document that is determined to violate the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code shall be void and without effect and any provision, including, without
limitation, any definition, that is required to appear in this Plan document under Section 409A of
the Code that is not expressly set forth shall be deemed to be set forth herein, and the Plan shall
be administered in all respects as if such provisions were expressly set forth. In addition, the
timing of certain payment of benefits provided for under this Plan shall be revised as necessary
for compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
18.
Interpretation and Governing Law
. The terms of this Plan and Awards granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be governed, construed and administered in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Virginia, excluding any choice of law rules or principles that might otherwise
refer construction or interpretation of any provision of the Plan or an Agreement to the
substantive law of another jurisdiction. The Plan and Awards are subject to all present and future
applicable provisions of the Code and, to the extent applicable; they are subject to all present
and future rulings of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Rule 16b-3. If any
provision of the Plan or an Award conflicts with any such Code provision or ruling, the Committee
shall cause the Plan to be amended, and shall modify the Award, so as to comply, or if for any
reason amendments cannot be made, that provision of the Plan or the Award shall be void and of no
effect.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be adopted this
19th day of March,
2009.
