Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) on Form 10-K/A is being filed with respect to Old Point Financial Corporation’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”). This Amendment updates Part III (Items 10-14) to contain information that was previously omitted from the Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from the Company’s definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after the Company’s fiscal year-end. This Amendment amends and restates in their entirety Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the Part III of the Form 10-K.

In addition to the changes to Part III to provide the previously omitted information, this Amendment amends Item 15 of Part IV to amend and restate the exhibit index. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 filed herewith have been omitted. The Company is not including a new certificate under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment. The cover page of the Form 10-K is also amended to delete the reference to incorporation by reference with respect to Part III information. This Amendment makes no other changes to the Form 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-K or modify disclosures affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of our Form 10-K.

As used in this Amendment, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Old Point Financial Corporation and the “Bank” refers to The Old Point National Bank of Phoebus, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Other terms used but not defined herein are as defined in the Form 10-K.

On April 2, 2025, the Company, the Bank and TowneBank entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into TowneBank, with TowneBank surviving and immediately thereafter and contemporaneously therewith, the Bank will merge with and into TowneBank, with TowneBank surviving (the “Merger”). Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, TowneBank entered into a support agreement (each, a “Support Agreement”) with each of the directors of the Company and affiliates of PL Capital Advisors, LLC. Pursuant to the Support Agreements, each such shareholder has agreed, among other things and subject to the terms of the Support Agreement, to (i) vote its shares of Company common stock owned by such shareholder and over which such shareholder has sole power to vote or direct the voting thereof, in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and against any competing acquisition proposal, or any action, proposal, transaction agreement or amendment of the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of the shareholder contained in the Support Agreement, or prevent, impede, delay, interfere with, postpone, discourage or frustrate the purposes of or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (ii) not transfer its shares of Company common stock, with certain limited exceptions.

The Company compensates its senior management through a mix of base salary, bonus, and equity compensation, designed to motivate, attract, and retain executive talent, consistent with pay-for-performance principles, and to align management’s incentives with the long-term interests of stockholders, while limiting risk appropriately and maintaining the safety and soundness of the organization. The process of determining compensation consists of establishing targeted overall compensation for each senior manager and then allocating that compensation between base salary and incentive compensation, and equity compensation. At the officer level, the Committee designs the incentive compensation to reward company-wide performance. Bonus awards are contingent on achievement of a minimum budgeted net income goal in order to establish an incentive target opportunity for each participant under the Old Point Financial Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). After each participant’s incentive target opportunity is established, awards are determined following the end of the plan year based on the performance of the Company and, for employees who are not NEOs, individual/team performance against established goals. Awards under the Incentive Plan for NEOs are tied solely to Company performance. In 2016, stockholders approved the Incentive Stock Plan. Under the Incentive Stock Plan, the Committee has the ability to award equity compensation in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, stock awards and performance units to key employees in its discretion. In 2024, restricted stock awards were granted to the Company’s senior management team as well as to non-employee directors. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to the Company’s senior management are intended to be similar to those provided to other executive officers in comparable institutions in Virginia. The Committee believes it is important to have the most capable managers in place and that it would be a disservice if executives were not adequately rewarded for positive performance.

Say-on-Pay Vote

In connection with the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company asked its stockholders to approve the compensation of the Company’s NEOs as disclosed in the proxy statement. Although the advisory vote on executive compensation was non-binding, the Committee considered the outcome of this vote when making subsequent compensation decisions for the CEO and other executive officers. At the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 28, 2024, approximately 87% of the stockholders who voted on the “say-on-pay” proposal approved the compensation of the Company’s NEOs. In light of stockholder support, the Company did not make any significant changes to the Company’s executive compensation practices for the remainder of 2024 or for 2025.

Board Process

Compensation adjustments and monetary awards to executive officers are recommended by the Committee for approval by the full Board of Directors, which makes the final decisions. Officers of the Company or its subsidiaries who serve on the Company’s Board of Directors are not present during deliberations or voting with respect to their compensation.

Generally, on its own initiative, the Committee reviews the individual performance for the CEO, and following discussions with him, recommends his compensation level to the full Board of Directors (excluding the CEO). For the remaining NEOs, the CEO makes recommendations to the Committee that generally, with minor adjustments, are accepted by the Committee and presented to the full Board of Directors for approval annually during the month of March.

The Committee approves equity grants to the CEO based on the Committee’s evaluation of his performance and to other executive officers based on the recommendation of the CEO. Under the Incentive Stock Plan, equity-based awards, and any related performance goals for NEOs will be determined by the Committee, which is composed entirely of “independent directors.”

The Committee, from time to time, engages Pearl Meyer to assist the Committee in assessing and revising the Company’s compensation for officers and directors. In years when it is engaged, Pearl Meyer conducts a comprehensive competitive market assessment of the Company’s executive and non-employee director compensation programs.

Pearl Meyer does not provide any consulting services to the Company other than in connection with executive and non-employee director compensation advice, and it maintains no other economic relationship with the Company. The Committee assessed the independence of Pearl Meyer pursuant to SEC and NASDAQ rules and concluded that the advice it receives from Pearl Meyer is objective and not influenced by other relationships that could be viewed as conflicts of interest.

Targeted Overall Compensation

To assist in establishing the aggregate level of compensation that the Company would pay in 2024, the Committee utilized a 2022 peer group analysis prepared by Pearl Meyer of 20 Mid-Atlantic banks (Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc., The Community Financial Corporation, C&F Financial Corporation, John Marshall Bancorp, Inc., FVCBankcorp, Inc., Norwood Financial Corp., MainStreet Bancshares, Inc., Franklin Financial Services Corporation, First United Corporation, FNCB Bancorp, Inc., National Bankshares, Inc., Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina, Inc., Eagle Financial Services, Inc., CB Financial Services, Inc., First National Corporation, AmeriServ Financial, Inc., F & M Bank Corp., Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation, Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc., and Village Bank and Trust Financial Corporation) with assets ranging from $743 million to $2.9 billion. The Company’s assets were approximately $1.5 billion at December 31, 2024. Generally, targeted overall compensation correlates to what these financial institutions would offer individuals to fill executive management positions with similar skills and backgrounds to those the Company employs. Additionally, total compensation is established relative to the Company’s performance and internal/external peer comparisons.

For 2024, the CEO was assigned cash compensation of $465,000. This compensation level was considered in line with the related Bank CEO peer data and commensurate with his duties and responsibilities.

The Committee follows a similar process with respect to establishing targeted overall compensation for the other NEOs. While the Committee considers the peer compensation analysis, the responsibilities of the Company’s NEOs vary widely and the direct comparisons with the peer group do not always provide an appropriate direct comparison point. Based upon the Committee’s review of the peer compensation analysis and review of Company and individual performance during 2023, the Committee set the 2024 overall targeted compensation for the other NEOs at levels that are in the mid-range for positions among the peer group with similar scope of responsibility and required skill level.

Allocation Among Components

Under the Company’s 2024 compensation structure, the approximate mix of base salary, target incentive compensation and equity compensation, was as follows:

   
Base
Salary
   
Incentive
Compensation
   
Equity
Compensation
 
Chief Executive Officer
   
70%

   
20%

   
10%

Other NEOs
   
75%

   
15%

   
10%


In allocating compensation among base salary, annual bonus compensation and equity compensation, the Committee believes that the compensation of senior-most levels of management should begin with a base level. Bonuses and equity compensation are generally awarded based on Company performance and are designed to encourage good behavior and best practices. Base salaries generally represent a large portion of the executive officers’ total cash compensation and are generally considered to be average relative to the Company’s peer financial institutions. Base salaries are also based on individual performance components.

The Committee believes that the top levels of management have the greatest ability to influence Company performance. Therefore, the Committee bases annual bonus compensation on Company performance. When the Company’s performance is above budgeted goals, the top levels of management are rewarded. Likewise, when the Company’s performance does not meet budgeted expectations, the top levels of management receive a lower or no bonus.

Under the Incentive Stock Plan, the Committee has the ability to award equity compensation in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, stock awards and performance units to key employees in its discretion. In 2024, restricted stock awards were made to certain members of senior management and non-employee directors.

Base Salaries

The Committee strives to provide executive management with a fair and reasonable level of assured cash compensation in the form of base salary given their professional status and accomplishments. The Company has a compensation structure with salary ranges for management including the CEO and other executive managers. These ranges are based on the peer compensation analysis discussed above. The last adjustments to the ranges were made in March 2022 in an effort to remain fair and reasonable within the Company’s marketplace. The structure is designed to recruit and retain qualified personnel and is reviewed on an annual basis by the Committee to determine if adjustments to the ranges are appropriate. For 2024, the base salary ranges used for setting salaries were $368,000 to $523,000 for the CEO and from $176,000 to $381,000 for the other NEOs.

Each March, the Committee recommends the base salary of the CEO within the established range to the Board of Directors. Within this range, the CEO’s base salary is determined using the peer compensation analysis in addition to the CEO’s individual and Company performance during the prior year. The base salary of the CEO as of April 1, 2024 was increased to $465,000 to align with current roles and responsibilities.

For the executive officers other than the CEO, each March the Committee recommends the executive’s base salary within the established range to the Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of the CEO. The base salaries of other officers including the other executive officers are determined using the peer compensation analysis in addition to the officer’s individual performance during the prior year and the Company’s performance during the prior year, based on the same performance objectives used for the CEO.

10

In 2024, the CSO’s salary was increased to $370,000 and the CBO’s salary was increased to $303,000. The CSO’s increase reflected a standard merit increase.  The CBO’s increase reflected a promotion to Chief Banking Officer.

Bonuses

The Company has in place an annual Incentive Plan that includes designated exempt employees, including all of the named executive officers. The Incentive Plan is designed to motivate and reward Participants for the achievement of fiscal year financial and non-financial objectives that directly contribute to the success of the Company. The Incentive Plan provides for the potential payment of annual cash bonus awards to designated exempt employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (“Participants”) based on the achievement of Company and, in the case of certain revenue generating employees, individual and team performance goals established by the Committee or CEO, as appropriate, for each plan year.

Under the Incentive Plan, at the beginning of each plan year, the Committee, upon the recommendation of the CEO, will approve Participants for the year. The Committee or the CEO, as appropriate, will also establish target bonus amounts and performance goals and weighting for the determination of bonus awards for each Participant for the year. Following the end of each year, the Committee, upon the recommendation of the CEO, will review Company and where applicable, individual and team performance against the established goals and determine the cash bonus award earned by each Participant, if any. Bonuses earned under the Incentive Plan are paid in cash during the first quarter following the end of each plan year.

The target bonus amounts and performance goals and weightings for a plan year will not be the same for all Participants, but the primary Company performance goal under the Incentive Plan will be the Company’s budgeted amount for net income for the year.

To ensure dollars are available based on performance to fund the Incentive Plan, the Company must achieve a threshold (minimum) level of budgeted net income each year to formally fund the Incentive Plan. If the threshold level of budgeted net income is not achieved, the plan will not activate. However, the Committee has the ability to make discretionary awards to key performers if the plan does not activate. The Committee also has discretion to modify, increase or eliminate awards based on any positive or negative business factors.

Each year, a Participant will be eligible to earn a cash bonus award consisting of a target base bonus award that may be increased or decreased based on the Company’s net income for the plan year as well as Company and, in the case of certain employees, individual and team performance against other established goals. The target bonus amounts will be equal to a percentage of the Participant’s base salary earned during the plan year. The maximum is the amount received if all objectives are exceeded and reach the maximum level of performance allowed by the plan’s design.

In order to pay incentive awards at the target level, the Company must achieve its budgeted net income goal for the year. If net income does not reach that level, each Participant’s incentive target opportunity will be reduced in accordance with a matrix approved by the Committee for the year. If net income exceeds the target each Participant’s incentive target opportunity will be adjusted higher in accordance with the matrix. No adjustments are made based on performance in between performance levels in the matrix. Incentive target opportunities will not adjust upward until the next performance level is achieved.

Actual awards can range from 0% to 200% of the adjusted target depending on performance. Threshold (i.e., minimum acceptable) performance will pay out at 50% of target and achieving stretch/maximum (i.e., superior) performance can result in awards up to 200% of target. For example, if a Participant’s adjusted target incentive opportunity is 4.00%, the threshold payout opportunity would be 2.00% (4% * 50%) and the stretch/maximum payout opportunity would be 8% (4% *200%).

Incentive awards for certain executive level officers, which includes all the NEOs, are tied to only Company performance and are not adjusted for individual performance.

The Incentive Plan also contains a clawback provision, providing that in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to error, omission or fraud, each executive officer may be required to reimburse the Company for part of or the entire incentive award received. To the extent the Company’s Clawback Policy (discussed below under “Clawback Policy”) and the Incentive Plan would require recoupment of the same compensation, the Clawback Policy governs.

11

For 2024, each of the Company’s NEOs was a Participant in the Incentive Plan. The target bonus amounts for each of the NEOs for 2024 was 20% of annual base salary earned.

For 2024, the budgeted net income goal was $11.4 million. The minimum level of net income required to fund the Incentive Plan for 2024 was 80% of budgeted net income goal, which would result in an adjusted threshold payout opportunity of 12.0% of annual base salary. In order to payout incentives at target, the Company would need to achieve its budgeted net income goal. In order to payout incentives at the maximum level, at least 120% of the budgeted net income goal must be achieved, which would result in an adjusted maximum payout opportunity of 18.0% of annual base salary earned for 2024. The Company’s net income for 2024 was $9.5 million which was above the 80% minimum level of net income required to fund the Incentive Plan for 2024.

The 2024 target bonuses and performance goals for the Company’s NEOs were based on achieving the budget goals for the following performance measures:

 
Return on Average Assets
weighting 50%
 
Efficiency Ratio
weighting 25%
 
Pre-Provision Net Revenue to Average Assets
weighting 25%

The target goal, the actual outcome and the achievement level for each of these performance measures for 2024 were as follows:

*The pre-provision net revenue to average assets performance measure was based on the company’s 2024 pre-provision net revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income minus noninterest expense) to average assets. When calculating the pre-provision net revenue to average assets performance measure, as well as return on the average assets and the efficiency ratio performance measures, the Committee authorized adjustments related to the one-time expenses incurred for the 2024 cost saving initiatives.

As noted above, under the Incentive Plan, the Committee has the ability to make discretionary awards to key performers if the Plan does not activate. No such discretion was exercised for the 2024 Incentive Plan payouts, as the Company’s net income was sufficient to fund the Incentive Plan for 2024.  In addition, the Committee has the discretion to adjust awards to key performers based on a variety of factors, including, among others, business factors and performance, individual performance, certain risk factors, such as asset and loan quality, the Company’s compensation philosophy and the influence of the Company’s compensation practices on its ability to attract and retain qualified executive leadership The Committee exercised such discretion for the 2024 Incentive Plan payouts. See the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table below.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

On May 24, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the Incentive Stock Plan. The Incentive Stock Plan permits the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of common stock for awards to key employees and non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, stock awards and performance units. With respect to executive compensation, the purpose of the Incentive Stock Plan is to promote the success of the Company by providing greater incentive to key employees to associate their personal interests with the long-term financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries and with growth in stockholder value, consistent with the Company’s risk management practices. The Incentive Stock Plan is designed to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of key employees and non-employee directors. In 2024, time-based restricted stock awards were granted to the Company’s senior management team and non-employee directors, consistent with the type of awards offered by our peer bank group.

Employment and Severance Agreements

Messrs. Shuford, Jr. and Witt

On February 22, 2018, the Company and the Bank entered into employment agreements with Mr. Shuford, Jr. and Mr. Witt effective as of February 22, 2018 (the “Effective Date”). Such agreements were amended December 15, 2023 (as amended, the “Agreements”) to reflect the current positions of Mr. Shuford, Jr. and Mr. Witt with the Company and the Bank as more particularly described in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on December 21, 2023. Mr. Shuford, Jr.’s agreement was further amended on January 10, 2025.  The terms of the Agreements are substantially similar to each other, except as described below.

The Agreements provide for an initial 3-year term for Messrs. Shuford, Jr. and an initial 2-year term for Mr. Witt, each beginning on the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated under the provisions of the Agreements. The Agreements will automatically renew for 3-year terms for Mr. Shuford, Jr. and for 2-year terms for Mr. Witt, beginning on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Agreements expire or are previously terminated or the Bank or the NEO gives written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the renewal date.

Under the Agreements, Mr. Shuford, Jr.’s annual base salary is at least $330,000; and Mr. Witt’s annual base salary is at least $297,030, subject to periodic review by the Company’s Board (or its designee). Each NEO is eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan, or any successor plan applicable to executives, and to receive equity-based or other awards granted under any equity plan established by the Company, in accordance with the terms of such plans, and as the Compensation and Benefits Committee may determine in the case of equity plan awards. In addition to any clawback provisions included in any cash or equity incentive plan or individual award agreement, the Agreements provide for the clawback of incentive compensation received from the Employer, including both equity and cash compensation, to the extent of any determined excess payment, in the event the Company is required to prepare a restatement of its financial results to correct an error that is material to previously issued financial statements and the result of which is that such incentive compensation paid would have been a lower amount had it been calculated based on such restated results or to the extent otherwise required by federal or state law or applicable regulation or stock exchange requirement.

Under the Agreements, each NEO is also eligible to participate in any benefit plans offered by the Employer to senior executives, including, without limitation, group medical insurance and a deferred compensation plan. The Bank pays each NEO’s monthly social dues for any approved country club.

Under the Agreements, each NEO’s employment may be terminated by the Employer with or without Cause (as defined in the Agreements), or the NEO may resign for or other than for Good Reason (as defined in the Agreements). If the NEO’s employment is terminated without Cause or the NEO resigns for Good Reason, the NEO will be entitled to receive any unpaid base salary through the date of termination; any annual incentive compensation earned during the calendar year preceding the calendar year of termination but not yet paid; and any benefits or awards vested, due and owing pursuant to the terms of any other plans, policies or programs (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”) and certain other severance benefits as described below.

The Agreement with Mr. Shuford, Jr. provides that he will be entitled to severance equal to 24 months of his base salary in effect at the time of termination plus 2 times the average of his annual bonuses payable for the 2 calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the termination occurs, in each case paid in equal installments over 24 months, and a lump sum payment equal to 24 times the monthly rate of the Bank’s subsidy for coverage of medical, dental and vision benefits in effect on the date of termination. The Agreement with Mr. Witt provides that he will be entitled to severance equal to 18 months of his base salary in effect at the time of termination, plus 1.5 times the average of his annual bonuses payable for the 2 calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the termination occurs, in each case paid in equal installments over 18 months, and a lump sum payment equal to 18 times the monthly rate of the Bank’s subsidy for coverage of medical, dental and vision benefits in effect on the date of termination.

13

Each NEO will be entitled the Accrued Obligations and certain other severance benefits as described below, in the event the NEO’s employment is terminated without Cause or the NEO resigns for Good Reason within 2 years after a Change of Control (as defined in the Agreements). The Agreement with Mr. Shuford, Jr. provides that he will be entitled to an amount equal to 2.99 times his base salary in effect at the time of termination plus 2.99 times the average bonus payable for the 5 calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the termination occurs (beginning with 2018), in each case paid in equal installments over 24 months, and a lump sum payment equal to 24 times the monthly rate of the Company’s subsidy for coverage of medical, dental and vision benefits in effect on the date of termination. The Agreement with Mr. Witt provides that he will be entitled to an amount equal to 2 times his base salary in effect at the time of termination plus 2 times the average bonus payable for the 5 calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the termination occurs (beginning with 2018), in each case paid in equal installments over 24 months, and a lump sum payment equal to 18 times the monthly rate of the Bank’s subsidy for coverage of medical, dental and vision benefits in effect on the date of termination. The Agreements provide that, in the event of a Change of Control, any severance payments or benefits to be paid pursuant to the Agreements will be limited (or cutback) to one dollar less than the maximum amount deductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), if such a reduction would cause the NEO to receive more after-tax compensation than without the reduction.

If the NEO employment terminates due to death, the Agreements provide that the NEO’s spouse or the NEO’s estate shall receive payment of the Accrued Obligations. If the NEO’s employment terminates due to Incapacity (as defined in the Agreements) of the NEO, the Employer shall have no obligation to the NEO other than payment of the Accrued Obligations. If the NEO’s employment terminates for Cause or if the NEO terminates employment other than Good Reason (before or after a Change of Control), the NEO will be entitled to any unpaid base salary through the date of termination and payment of any vested and irrevocable benefits (excluding incentive compensation) due and owing pursuant to the terms of any plans, policies or programs.

The Agreements also include the following covenants that apply to the NEO following the cessation of the NEO’s employment for any reason, including nonrenewal of the Agreements: (i) a confidentiality covenant that applies for 5 years following the cessation of the NEO’s employment; (ii) a non-solicitation covenant that applies for 24 months following the cessation of employment for Mr. Shuford, Jr. and for 18 months following cessation of employment for Mr. Witt; (iii) a non-piracy covenant that applies for 24 months following the cessation of employment for Mr. Shuford, Jr. and for 18 months following cessation of employment for Mr. Witt; and (iv) a non-competition covenant that applies for 24 months following the cessation of employment for Mr. Shuford, Jr. and for 18 months following cessation of employment for Mr. Witt. Except for the Accrued Obligations, payment of all of the severance payments and benefits discussed above (other than termination due to death or Incapacity) is contingent on the NEO’s signing and not revoking a release and on the NEO’s compliance with these restrictive covenants.

In certain cases, some or all of the severance payments and benefits provided on termination of the NEO’s employment may be delayed for 6 months following termination to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Any payment required to be delayed would be paid at the end of the 6-month period in a lump sum, with any payments due after the 6-month period being paid at the normal payment date provided for under the Agreements. In the case of benefits that are delayed, the NEO would pay the cost of benefits coverage during the 6-month delay period and then be reimbursed by the Employer at the end of the 6-month period.

Mr. Buckless

On February 22, 2018, the Bank entered into a change of control severance agreement with Mr. Buckless.  On November 15, 2024, the change of control severance agreement was amended (the “Severance Agreement”).

The Severance Agreement provides certain payments and benefits in the event of a termination of Mr. Buckless’s employment by the Bank without Cause (as defined in the Severance Agreement) (other than due to death or incapacity, as defined in the Severance Agreement) or by Mr. Buckless for Good Reason (as defined in the Severance Agreements) within the two-year period following a Change of Control (as defined in the Severance Agreements). In such event, Mr. Buckless would be entitled to (i) any unpaid base salary through the date of termination; (ii) any annual incentive compensation earned during the calendar year preceding the calendar year of termination, but not yet paid; and (iii) any benefits or awards vested, due and owing pursuant to the terms of any other plans, policies or programs, payable when otherwise due (collectively, the “Severance Accrued Obligations”) and certain other payments and benefits as described below.  In addition to the Severance Accrued Obligations, Mr. Buckless would be entitled to receive (i) an amount equal to two times his base salary as in effect at the time of termination, payable in equal installments over a 12-month period; (ii) an amount equal to two times the average annual bonus payable for the five years preceding the calendar year in which the termination occurs (or the average for the number of years the Severance Agreement had been in effect if less than five years), payable in equal installments over a 12-month period; and (iii) a lump sum amount equal to the product of 24 times the monthly rate of the Bank’s subsidy for coverage in its medical, dental and vision plans for active employees. The Severance Agreement provides that, in the event of a Change of Control, any severance payments or benefits to be paid pursuant to the Severance Agreement will be limited (or cutback) to one dollar less than the maximum amount deductible under Section 280G of the Code.

14

The Severance Agreement also includes the following covenants that would apply to Mr. Buckless following the termination of employment for any reason: (i) a confidentiality covenant that applies for five years following the termination of employment; and (ii) non-solicitation, non-piracy and non-competition covenants that each apply for 12 months following the termination of employment. Except for the Severance Accrued Obligations, payment to Mr. Buckless of all of the payments and benefits discussed above is contingent on his signing and not revoking a release and on his compliance with the restrictive covenants.

In certain cases, some or all of the payments and benefits provided on termination of employment may be delayed for six months following termination to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC.

Clawback Policy

On November 21, 2023, effective as of October 2, 2023, the Board of Directors adopted a new clawback policy (the “Clawback Policy”) that fully aligns to the NASDAQ listing standards adopted in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, which govern such policies. A copy of our Clawback Policy is publicly available as an exhibit to the Form 10-K.

Our Clawback Policy covers current and former executive officers and applies to any compensation granted, earned, or vested, based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure, including non-GAAP, stock price or total stockholder return metrics. In the event of a financial restatement, the policy dictates that the Company must recoup the incremental amount an executive officer erroneously received as a result of the misstated financials, regardless of whether or not executive misconduct was present. The look-back period for recoupment consists of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date upon which the restatement is deemed required under the rules. The Compensation and Benefits Committee has broad discretion in determining the means of recovery, provided such approach is permitted under the NASDAQ rules and done reasonably promptly.

Perquisites and Other Compensation

None of the NEOs received perquisites or other personal benefits in excess of $10,000 in 2024. These benefits, such as social club dues, would be detailed in the table entitled “All Other Compensation” if perquisites or other personal benefits in excess of $10,000 had been received.

The Committee reviews any perquisites that the CEO and the other NEOs may receive on an annual basis. In general, the Company does not provide its executives with many of the types of perquisites that other companies offer their executives, such as personal use of a company vehicle or vehicle allowances. Exceptions are made when an NEO has responsibilities, such as sales and customer relationship management that require certain allowances to be paid. In addition to the base salary and incentive compensation described above, the Company provides its NEOs with the same benefit package available to all of its salaried employees. This package includes:

 
Medical and dental insurance (portion of costs);
 
Medical/dependent care reimbursement plan;
 
Health Savings Plan;
 
Life insurance;
 
Short and long-term disability insurance;
 
Participation in the Old Point Financial Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP) through which employees can purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount; and
 
Participation in the Company’s 401(k) plan, including the Company match.

15

The Company also offers post-retirement life insurance benefits to certain members of senior management in the form of a split dollar plan and a Management Section 162 Life Insurance Plan (“162 Plan”). For the split dollar plan, the Company owns the policy and cash values provide an annual return to the Company while providing a term insurance benefit to the individual employee, utilizing bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) with a portion of the death benefit endorsed to the insured officer through a split dollar agreement. The amount endorsed under the BOLI equaled 300% of the current base salary, with the amount to increase 4% each year through termination or retirement. If the officer remains in the Company’s employment through retirement, and has not elected to participate in the 162 Plan discussed below, the officer would receive a post-retirement benefit equal to 50% of the pre-retirement benefit.

Due to the accounting rules issued by The Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the economics of BOLI have changed for the Company. Beginning in 2008, in lieu of BOLI, the NEOs that are fully vested in the split dollar plan are eligible to participate in the 162 Plan which offers key executives permanent life insurance protection which they own and maintain from inception of the policy. For any NEO electing to participate in the 162 Plan, the Company pays annual premiums until the individual reaches retirement age. The Company also grosses up the NEO’s income with respect to taxes owed in connection with the 162 Plan premiums. During the period leading up to retirement age, the BOLI benefit to the NEO decreases in the same proportion that the 162 Plan benefit increases. As of the end of 2022, certain members of senior management, including some of the NEOs, took advantage of one or both of these benefits.

Relocation Benefits

The Company does not have a policy providing for relocation benefits.

Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards

Stock options have not been a component of equity compensation awarded by the Company in recent years. The Company did not award stock options to any of the NEOs during 2024. Consequently, the Company does not have a formal policy on the timing or terms of awards of options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information by the Company. For grants of other equity awards, such as restricted stock awards, the Compensation Committee schedules grants of equity awards at generally consistent times throughout the year. The Company does not time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Although the Committee believes that significant levels of stock ownership will assist in retaining qualified and motivated executive officers, the Committee has not established stock ownership guidelines for any of its officers.

The following table summarizes the total compensation for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of the Company’s CEO and each of the Company’s other two most highly compensated executive officers.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Compensation and Benefits Committee considers Board compensation on an annual basis in most years based on an informal survey of board compensation paid by peer financial institutions. The Committee also engages Pearl Meyer & Partners (Pearl Meyer) to conduct periodic comprehensive competitive market assessments of the Company’s non-employee director compensation program. During 2024, the fees paid in cash were for non-employee director attendance at Board meetings and committee meetings, and each non-employee director was paid an annual retainer fee. Non-employee directors of the Bank and Wealth receive $1,000 and $400, respectively, for each Board meeting they attend. The non-employee directors on the Peninsula Regional Board and Southside Regional Board receive $150 for each Regional Board meeting they attend. The non-employee directors of the Bank and Wealth receive $400 for each committee meeting they attend except for the Wealth Investment Committee meetings for which members receive $250. Non-employee directors of the Bank and Wealth receive an annual retainer fee of $12,000 and $4,000, respectively. The non-employee directors on the Peninsula Regional Board and the Southside Regional Board each receive an annual retainer fee of $1,000. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, the Chairman of the Compensation and Benefits Committee, and the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee each receive an additional $5,000 annual retainer, the Lead Director of the Wealth Board receives an additional $2,000 annual retainer, the Lead Director of the Bank Board receives an additional $10,000 annual retainer, the Chairman of the Directors Loan Committee receives an additional $4,000 annual retainer, and the Chairman of the Board Risk Committee and the Chairman of the Capital Management Committee each receive an additional $2,000 retainer. Non-employee directors are eligible to receive equity compensation awards under the Incentive Stock Plan. The Committee began awarding equity compensation to non-employee directors in 2018. In 2024, each non-employee director received an award of 1,210 shares of restricted stock that vest in one year. The Company reimburses travel, lodging and meal expense for all directors living outside of Virginia to attend Board and Committee meetings. The Company also pays for all directors and their spouses to attend Board seminars. None of the directors received perquisites or other personal benefits in excess of $10,000 in 2024. Any recommendations for changes in Board compensation are generally made by the Compensation and Benefits Committee and presented to the full Board for approval.

The following table provides compensation information for the year ended December 31, 2024 for each non-employee member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Item 13.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Interest of Management in Certain Transactions

Some of the Company’s directors, executive officers, and members of their immediate families, and corporations, partnerships, and other entities of which such persons are officers, directors, partners, trustees, executors, or beneficiaries, are customers of the Bank. All loans and commitments to lend to such individuals were made in the ordinary course of business, upon substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other unrelated persons and in the opinion of management did not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. Pursuant to the Company’s written Insider Policy, all directors, and executive officers (including named executive officers), who have specific business contracts with the Company or the Bank greater than $25,000 or aggregate business dealings with the Company or the Bank greater than $120,000 per calendar year are considered significant and must be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. Directors and executive officers are expected to make reasoned and impartial decisions in the workplace. As a result, approval of the proposed business is denied if the Board believes that the director’s or executive officer’s interest in such business could influence decisions relative to the Company’s business or have the potential to adversely affect the Company’s business or the objective performance of the director’s function or executive officer’s work. The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing compliance with the Insider Policy.

Since January 1, 2024, there were no transactions that qualified as related party transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company purchased office supplies in the amount of $154,144 inclusive of sales tax from Hampton Stationery, Mr. Ishon, a director of the Company, is President and sole shareholder of Hampton Stationery.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors is comprised of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined by the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ). Independent Directors do not receive consulting, legal or other fees from the Company other than Board and committee compensation. Although entities affiliated with certain of these directors provide goods and services to the Company, the Board of Directors has determined in accordance with the NASDAQ listing standards that these Independent Directors have no relationships with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The current Independent Directors are Messrs. Adams, Glasser, Keefe, Langley, and Mmes. Castleberry, Thacker, and Wash.

The Board reviews each director’s independence status on an annual basis to ensure compliance with NASDAQ listing standards.

Exhibit 10.6

Old Point Financial Corporation

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
2025 Plan Summary

February, 2025


Old Point Financial Corporation

 
Introduction
 
Old Point Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is committed to rewarding employees for their contributions to the Company’s success. The Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan) provides an opportunity to earn extra compensation beyond base salary when we meet or exceed our corporate performance goals as well as recognize and reward individual contributions toward our success. This document summarizes the elements and features of the Plan.
 
The Plan is focused on ensuring alignment and commitment to achieving key financial results for the Company as well as individual and team results. Individually and collectively, we all have the ability to influence and drive our success.
 
In short, the objectives of the plan are to:
 
 
Align participant’s incentive opportunities with critical Company goals and objectives.
 

Encourage teamwork and collaboration across all areas of the Company – our collective contributions will drive improved business results.
 
 
Motivate and reward the achievement of specific, measurable performance objectives.
 
 
Provide competitive total cash compensation opportunities.
 
 
Enable the Company to attract, motivate and reward talented employees. 
 
Participation and Eligibility

Old Point Financial Corporation’s Compensation & Benefits Committee or CEO will identify the employees eligible to participate in the Plan. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan as long as they meet the following requirements:
 

The employee’s FLSA classification for their position is exempt and their position is salary level 8 or above.
 

New employees must be employed before July 1st of the plan year. Employees who work a partial year will receive pro-rated awards based on base salary earnings for the year.
 

For promotions during the plan year, the employee’s pay grade in effect before July 1st of the plan year will be the pay grade used for incentive calculations.
 

Non-Revenue generating participants must maintain a minimum performance rating of 3.0 to be eligible to receive an award.
 

Revenue generating participants must maintain a minimum performance rating of 2.5 to be eligible to receive an award.
 

Must be an active employee at the time of payout to receive an award.



Eligible employees who terminate employment due to permanent disability, death or retirement will be eligible to receive a partial award for the year, even if they are not employed as of December 31st of the plan year. These exceptions are covered in the Terms and Conditions.
 

Part-time employees are eligible to participate provided they work at least 1,000 hours per year.
 

Temporary employees and employees participating in a commission or separate bonus plan will not be eligible to participate.
 
Performance Period (Plan Year)
 
The Plan operates on a calendar year schedule (January 1 – December 31). Actual incentive payments will be paid out as soon as practical after the plan year, typically within the first quarter.
 
Performance Gate/Trigger(s)
 
To ensure dollars are available based on performance to fund the plan, the Company must achieve a minimum level, or threshold, of 80% of budgeted net income to formally fund the plan. If the gate/trigger is not achieved, the plan will not activate. However, the Compensation & Benefits Committee and CEO will have the ability to establish a discretionary incentive pool if the plan does not activate.
 
Incentive Targets
 
Each participant will have an annual cash incentive opportunity, based on his or her role at the Company. The target incentive is based on competitive market practices, affordability to the Company and reflects the award to be paid for meeting expected performance.
 
Incentive compensation will be defined as a percentage of base earnings. Base earnings reflect the base salary actually earned during the course of the plan year. This allows for an automatic conversion for participants who receive salary increases during the performance period and are employed after the start of the performance period or who work on a part-time basis.
 
In order to pay out incentives at target, the Company will need to achieve its budget net income goal for the year. If net income does not reach that level, each participant’s incentive target opportunity will be reduced. If net income exceeds that level, incentive target opportunities will be adjusted higher.
 
The table on the following page illustrates the adjustments which will be made to the incentive targets based upon earned net income during the performance period.

Incentive targets will not adjust upward until the next performance hurdle is achieved. For example, the incentive opportunity for a Tier 2 participant will be 9.00% of base salary if the Company achieves 95% of its budgeted net income. It will not be adjusted to 10.00% of base salary until 100% of the target budgeted net income is achieved.

Salary grade or role is used to determine Tier level and maximum payout opportunity.

Actual payments can range from 0% to 200% of target depending on performance and role. Threshold (i.e. minimum acceptable) performance will pay out at 50% of target and achieving stretch (i.e. superior) performance can result in payments up to 200% of target. For example, a Salary Grade 12 non-revenue employee has a Tier 2 target incentive opportunity of 10.00%, where the threshold payout opportunity would be 5.00% (10% * 50%) and the stretch/maximum payout opportunity would be 15% (10% * 150%).


Performance Measures and Weightings
 
Incentives for all participants will be based on a combination of Company and Individual/Team performance (3 to 5 metrics in total). The specific measures and the weights of each measure will vary based on the participant and will be determined prior to the beginning of the plan year. (Calculation of all goal attainment will exclude any one time or extraordinary revenues or costs associated with merger and acquisitions, balance sheet restructures or any other events of such nature; such factors should be predefined by the Compensation & Benefits Committee and used consistently.)
 
Where possible, performance targets and ranges (e.g. threshold and stretch) for each measure will be set at the beginning of the plan year. A minimum achievement of threshold level individual performance is required for the plan to pay for each component.
 
The specific allocation of goals will be weighted to reflect the focus and contribution for each role/level in the Company. Goals and weightings for the performance measures will be determined at the beginning of the plan year; the minimum weighting for each goal is 10%.
 
Company Performance Measures
Company performance will drive a significant portion of the individual incentive payments. This is to encourage teamwork and collaboration across all participants and divisions. The Company performance measures are:
 

o
ROA - Return on average assets (Net Income divided by YTD average assets)
 

o
Efficiency Ratio - Noninterest Expense divided by (Noninterest Income plus Net Interest Income)
 

o
Pre-Provision Net Revenue (PPNR) – (Net Interest Income plus Noninterest Income minus Noninterest Expense) divided by YTD Average Assets
 
Executive incentives (level 17 and above) will be tied to all three company performance metrics. Remaining participants will include one to three of these metrics in their incentive framework (an item within score card) depending on their role and area of focus within the bank.
 
Individual/Team Performance Measures
Revenue-generators will work with their managers to develop specific, measurable individual and/or team performance goals for the plan year. Threshold, target and stretch (maximum) goals will be determined for each metric along with the assigned weightings (minimum weighting equal to 10%). These metrics, goals and weightings, along with the appropriate Company performance measures noted above, will be incorporated into the revenue-generator’s scorecard and will be used to determine the earned compensation at the end of the performance period.
 
Individual performance for non-revenue generators will be assessed based on the appropriate Company performance measures noted above and by their annual performance rating which includes their specific individual performance goals. The earned compensation will then be adjusted based upon the participant’s performance rating and how the rating compares to the other non- revenue generators. The following table summarizes the modifiers for various performance levels:


Individual Performance Scale

Tier 2-Tier 4
Remaining Performers
1.0x
Tier 5
2nd 20%
1.1X
Tier 6
Top 20% Performers
1.25x

For example, a participant earns $1,000 based upon Company performance and receives a 3.8 performance rating. Based upon the distribution of performance ratings across the non-revenue generator employees, this places the participant in Tier 5 (1.1x modifier). The final incentive compensation will be $1,100 ($1,000 * 1.1). Incentives for Executives in Levels 5 and 6 will be tied to only Company performance. Incentives will not be adjusted for individual performance.
 
Loan Quality Assessment for Commercial Lenders
Eligibility for the Commercial Lending positions to receive incentive compensation under this Plan will be dependent on loan/asset quality and portfolio management. At the end of the performance period, the participant’s Manager and the Chief Credit Officer will determine whether any adjustment will be made to the incentive compensation based upon a comprehensive assessment of the lender’s loan quality (i.e. downgrades, write-offs, non-performing loans, delinquencies) and portfolio management (i.e. lack of analysis or proper credit documentation). This is a discretionary adjustment; if warranted, no incentive will be paid to lenders with significant loan quality or portfolio management issues (i.e. deduction = 100%).
 
Delinquency Provision
 
At the conclusion of the eligible plan year, the Company reserves the right to offset all loans originated in the prior plan year that are 60 days or more past due at the conclusion of the eligible plan year. The total sum of these delinquent loans will reduce the total amount of eligible loans which will be used to calculate the incentive compensation. Management reserves the right to determine whether the loan will be reinstated based on the overall performance of the loan. If the loan is delinquent more than one time in a calendar year for a 60-day period, reinstatement of the loan will not be credited to the participant.
 
Incentive Payouts
 
Incentive payouts will be made in cash at the completion of the annual performance period. Incentive compensation will be determined based on a combination of Company and Individual/Team performance. Payouts are calculated for each participant and approved by the CEO. The incentive payout for the executive group and the non-executive group, in summary, will be presented to the Compensation & Benefit Committee. The Compensation & Benefit Committee will approve the incentive payout of the CEO and the overall level of payout. Payouts are then paid out as a cash payment, less necessary withholding.
 
Incentive compensation will be calculated, and payments made (if incentive compensation is earned) as soon as practical after the end of each year. These payouts will cover results for the Plan year immediately preceding the payment date. Participants must be an active employee at the time of payout to receive the award. In the event that an individual, who is due an incentive payout under the plan, terminates their employment with the Company during the period January 1st of the following year to the date the incentive is paid, that individual’s incentive will be included in the pool and allocated to other participants of the plan.


Committee Discretion
 
Compensation & Benefits Committee maintains discretion to modify, increase or eliminate payments based on positive or negative business factors.

Terms and Conditions
 
Participation
 
Employees approved by the CEO are eligible to participate in the Plan. New employees must be employed by July 1st of the plan year (January 1 – December 31) to be eligible for that year’s incentive and will receive a prorated award based upon their hire date. For example, if an employee is hired on January 15, they are employed 11 full months and are eligible for a prorated award of 11/12s of the calculated amount.
 
Effective Date
 
This Program is effective January 1, 2025, to reflect plan year January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. The Plan may be reviewed annually by the Company’s Compensation & Benefits Committee and Senior Management to ensure proper alignment with the Company’s business objectives. Old Point Financial Corporation retains the rights as described below to amend, modify or discontinue the Plan at any time during the specified period. The Incentive Plan will remain in effect until December 31, 2025.
 
Program Administration
 
The Program is authorized by the Compensation & Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors and administered by the CEO. The CEO and/or the Board of Directors have the sole authority to interpret the Plan and to make or nullify any rules and procedures, as necessary, for proper administration. Any determination by the CEO and/or Board of Directors will be final and binding on all participants.
 
Program Changes or Discontinuance
 
Old Point Financial Corporation has developed the Plan based on existing business, market and economic conditions; current services; and staff assignments. If substantial changes occur that affect these conditions, services, assignments, or forecasts, Old Point Financial Corporation may add to, amend, modify or discontinue any of the terms or conditions of the Plan at any time.
 
The Compensation & Benefits Committee may, at its sole discretion, waive, change or amend the Plan as it deems appropriate.
 
Incentive Compensation Payments
 
Payments will be paid as a cash bonus before the end of the first quarter following the Plan year. Payments will be paid out as a percentage of a participant’s year-to-date base salary earnings as of December 31 for a given calendar year. Incentive compensation will be considered taxable income to participants in the year paid and will be subject to withholding for required income and other applicable taxes.
 

New Hires, Reduced Work Schedules, Promotions, and Transfers
 
Participants who are not employed by Old Point Financial Corporation at the beginning of the Plan year will receive a pro rata incentive award based on their length of employment during a given year. Employees hired after June 30th will not be eligible to participate until the next plan year.
 
If a participant changes his/her role or is promoted during the Plan year, he/she will be eligible for the new role’s target opportunity on a pro rata basis (i.e. the award will be prorated based on the number of months employed in the respective positions.)
 
Termination of Employment
 
If a Plan participant is terminated by the Company, no incentive award will be paid. To encourage employees to remain in the employment of the Company, a participant must be an active employee of the Company on the date the incentive is paid to receive an award. (See exceptions for death, disability and retirement below.)
 
Disability, Death or Retirement
 
If a participant is disabled by an accident or illness, his/her bonus award for the Plan period will be prorated so that the award is based on the period of active employment only (i.e. the award will be reduced by the period of time of disability).
 
In the event of death, Old Point Financial Corporation will pay to the participant’s estate the pro rata portion of the award that had been earned by the participant as of the date of death.
 
Retirements will be reviewed by the CEO. Individuals who retire will be eligible to receive a prorated payout based on the period of active employment only (i.e. pro-rated as of the date of retirement).
 
Clawback
 
The plan will be subject to the following clawback provision:
 
In the event that Old Point Financial Corporation is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to error, omission or fraud (as determined by the Audit Committee), each executive officer may be required to reimburse the Company for part or the entire incentive compensation payment made to such executive officer on the basis of having met or exceeded specific targets for performance periods. For purposes of this policy, (i) the term “incentive compensation payment” means payments under the Plan, the amount of which is determined in whole or in part upon specific performance targets relating to the financial results of the Company; and (ii) the term executive officer means the Company’s Level 17 and above executives. The Company may seek to reclaim incentives within a three-year period of the incentive payout.
 
Risk Adjustment
 
The Compensation & Benefits Committee retains the discretion to negatively adjust incentive plan funding and/or payments, in aggregate or by individual, to reflect regulatory findings and/or other risk factors (e.g. asset or loan quality).


Ethics and Interpretation
 
If there is any ambiguity as to the meaning of any terms or provisions of this plan or any questions as to the correct interpretation of any information contained therein, the Company’s interpretation expressed by the CEO and/or Compensation & Benefits Committee will be final and binding.
 
The altering, inflating, and/or inappropriate manipulation of performance/financial results or any other infraction of recognized ethical business standards, will subject the employee to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. In addition, any incentive compensation as provided by the plan to which the employee would otherwise be entitled will be revoked.
 
Participants who have willfully engaged in any activity, injurious to the Company, will upon termination of employment, death, or retirement, forfeit any incentive award earned during the award period in which the termination occurred.
 
Miscellaneous
 
The Plan will not be deemed to give any participant the right to be retained in the employ of Old Point Financial Corporation, nor will the Plan interfere with the right of Old Point Financial Corporation to discharge any participant at any time.
 
In the absence of an authorized, written employment contract, the relationship between employees and Old Point Financial Corporation is one of at-will employment. The Plan does not alter the relationship.
 
This incentive plan and the transactions and payments hereunder shall, in all respect, be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Virginia.
 
Each provision in this Plan is severable, and if any provision is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not, in any way, be affected or impaired thereby.
 



Exhibit 10.18

CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
 
THIS CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective this 15th day of November, 2024, by and between The Old Point National Bank of Phoebus (the “Bank”) and Donald S. Buckless (“Employee”).
 
W I T N E S S E T H:
 
WHEREAS, Employee is a valuable employee of the Bank;
 
WHEREAS, the Bank wishes to encourage Employee to continue Employee’s career and services with the Bank and to remain with the Bank during any potential change of control of the Bank;
 
WHEREAS, the Employee and the Bank have previously entered into a certain Change in Control Severance Agreement, dated February 22, 2018 (the “2018 Agreement’); and
 
WHEREAS, the Bank and Employee have agreed to enter into this Agreement to replace the 2018 Agreement and set forth the terms on which Employee may be entitled to severance pay from the Bank following a Change of Control (as defined below).
 
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:
 
1.           Upon execution of this Agreement the 2018 Agreement is terminated.
 
2.           Definitions.
 
(a)          “Cause” shall mean:
 
(i)         Employee’s willful failure to perform the material duties and responsibilities of his position (other than due to Incapacity) but only following Employee’s receipt of prior written notice from the Bank or affiliate of at least thirty (30) days, which shall provide and constitute a reasonable opportunity to cure;
 
(ii)             Employee’s misappropriation or embezzlement of funds or property of the Bank or any affiliate;
 
(iii)          Employee’s fraud or dishonesty (that is not of a de minimis nature) with respect to the Bank or affiliate, but only following Employee’s receipt of written notice from the Bank or affiliate at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination, during which time Employee may provide a written response;
 
(iv)         Employee’s conviction of or entering a guilty plea or plea of no contest with respect to (1) any felony or (2) any misdemeanor involving fraud, dishonesty, breach of trust or act of moral turpitude, or any indictment for any crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust;


(v)            Employee’s breach of a material term of this Agreement, failure to perform the  material duties and responsibilities of Employee’s position or violation in any material respect of any policy, code or standard of behavior generally applicable to officers or employees of the Bank, after being advised in writing of such breach or violation and being given a reasonable opportunity and period (as determined by the Bank) to remedy such breach or violation (if such breach or violation is deemed by the Bank to be capable of being remedied) which period shall be not less than thirty (30) days;
 
(vi)         A material breach by Employee of his fiduciary duties to the Bank or affiliate including his duty of loyalty, care, or good faith, but only following Employee’s receipt of written notice from the Bank or affiliate at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination, during which time Employee may provide a written response; or
 
(vii)         Employee engaging in conduct that, if it became known by any regulatory or governmental agency or the public, would be or is reasonably likely to result in material injury to the Bank, monetarily or otherwise.
 
(b)          “Change of Control” shall mean the date any one of the following events occurs after the effective date of this Agreement:
 
(i)         any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of Old Point Financial Corporation (“Old Point”) that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of Old Point. However, if any one person or group, is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of Old Point, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group is not considered to cause a Change of Control. An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person or group, as a result of a transaction in which Old Point acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock. This applies only when there is a transfer of stock of Old Point (or issuance of stock of Old Point) and stock in Old Point remains outstanding after the transaction.
 
(ii)           any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) ownership of stock of Old Point possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of Old Point.
 
(iii)         a majority of members of Old Point’s Board of Directors is replaced during any twelve-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of Old Point’s Board of Directors prior to the date of the appointment or election.
 
2

(iv)           any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) assets from Old Point that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of Old Point immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions.  For this purpose, “gross fair market value” shall mean the value of the assets of Old Point, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. A transfer of assets by Old Point shall not be treated as a Change of Control if the assets are transferred to: (A) a shareholder of Old Point (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock; (B) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by Old Point; (C) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of Old Point; or (D) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in Section 1(b)(iv)(C) aboveA person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of the assets.  For example, a transfer to a corporation in which Old Point has no ownership interest before the transaction, but which is a majority-owned subsidiary of Old Point after the transaction is not treated as a Change of Control.
 
For purposes of Section 1(b)(ii) and (iii) above, if any one person or more than one person acting as a group is considered to effectively control Old Point (within the meaning of Section 1(b)(ii) or (iii) above), the acquisition of additional control of Old Point by the same person or group is not considered to cause a Change of Control.  For purposes of this Section 1, “more than one person acting as a group” shall include the owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock or assets, or similar business transaction with Old Point. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock or assets, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation only with respect to the ownership in that corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they (I) purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering, or (II) purchase assets of the same corporation at the same time.  The above definition of Change of Control is intended to and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner as to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
 
(c)          “Good Reason” shall mean within twenty-four (24) months after a Change of Control:
 
(i)             a permanent demotion of Employee and material diminution in Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities; or
 
(ii)         the relocation of Employee to any other primary place of employment more than fifty (50) miles from the Bank headquarters in Hampton, Virginia, without Employee’s express written consent to such relocation; or
 
(iii)            a material diminution in Employee’s base salary.
 
Employee is required to provide written notice to the Bank of the existence of a condition described in Section 1(c) above within a sixty (60) day period of the initial existence of the condition, and the Bank shall have thirty (30) days after notice to remedy the condition without liability.  If not remedied by the Bank, Employee shall have thirty (30) days after the end of such remedy period to terminate employment for Good Reason.

3

Notwithstanding the above, “Good Reason” shall not include any resignation by Employee where Cause for Employee’s termination by the Bank exists.
 
(d)         “Incapacity” shall mean Employee is suffering a physical or mental impairment that renders the Employee, as determined by the Bank, unable to perform the essential functions of the Employee’s position.    Such a determination shall only be made after (1) Employee has exhausted all leave rights to which [he or she] is entitled under the Bank’s policies and this Agreement and (2) a determination is made by the Bank that no reasonable accommodation exists to allow Employee to continue to perform the essential functions of the position following the principles established under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”).
 
3.           Severance Payments and Other Matters Related to Termination within Two (2) Years After a Change of Control.
 
(a)         Without Cause or for Good Reason. If Employee’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause (and other than due to Employee’s death or Incapacity) within two (2) years after a Change of Control shall have occurred or if Employee resigns for Good Reason within two (2) years after a Change of Control shall have occurred, then the Bank shall pay to Employee (subject to any applicable payroll or other taxes required to be withheld), (i) (A) any unpaid base salary for time worked through the date of termination payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible following termination, but not later than thirty (30) days thereafter; (B) any annual incentive compensation earned during the calendar year preceding the calendar year of termination, but not yet paid as of the date of termination, payable on the earlier of the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of termination, or when otherwise due; and (C) any benefits or awards vested, due and owing pursuant to the terms of any other plans, policies or programs, payable when otherwise due (hereinafter subsections (a)(i)(A) – (C) collectively are referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”) and (ii) subject to Employee’s signing, delivering and not revoking the Release attached as Exhibit A, which Release must be signed, delivered and not revoked within the time period set forth therein, the following:
 
(A)        An amount equal to 2.00 times Employee’s base salary as in effect at the time of termination, payable over a period of twelve (12) months in accordance with the regular pay periods of the Bank (but not less frequently than monthly and in equal installments) beginning on the first payroll following the date of termination of employment, provided, however, that all payments otherwise due during the first sixty (60) days following termination of employment shall be accumulated and, if the Release requirements have been met, paid on the sixtieth (60th) day following termination of employment.
 
(B)           An amount equal to 2.00 times the average annual bonus payable for the five years preceding the calendar year in which the termination occurs (or the average for the number of years the Agreement has been in effect if less than five (5) years.)  If the Agreement was in effect and no bonus was paid for a calendar year, then the amount to be used for that year in computing the average shall be zero.  The bonus amount shall be payable over a period of twelve (12) months in accordance with the regular pay periods of the Bank (but not less frequently than monthly and in equal installments), payable in the same manner and at the same time as the payments in Section 2(a)(A).

4

(C)           An amount equal to the product of twenty-four (24) times the monthly rate of the Bank’s subsidy for coverage in its medical, dental and vision plans for active employees (including any applicable coverage for spouses and dependents) in effect on the date of termination, payable in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following termination of employment.
 
(b)         It is the intention of the parties that no payment be made or benefit provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement that would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and any regulations thereunder (“Code Section 280G”), thereby resulting in a loss of an income tax deduction by the Bank or Old Point or the imposition of an excise tax on Employee under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. If the independent accountants serving as auditors for the Bank on the date of a Change of Control (or any other accounting firm designated by the Bank) determine that some or all of the payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement, as well as any other payments or benefits to Employee, would be nondeductible by the Bank or Old Point under Code Section 280G, then the payments and benefits scheduled under this Agreement and all other agreements between Employee and the Bank will be reduced to one dollar less than the maximum amount which may be paid without causing any such payment or benefit to be nondeductible. The determination made as to the reduction of benefits or payments required hereunder by the independent accountants shall be binding on the parties. Any reduction of benefits or payments required to be made under this Section 2(b) shall be taken in the following order: first from cash compensation and then from payments or benefits not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid farthest in time from the date of determination.
 
(c)         Other Terminations. If Employee’s employment is terminated for Cause or due to Employee’s death or Incapacity or if Employee voluntarily terminates his employment other than for Good Reason, within two (2) years after a Change of Control shall have occurred, this Agreement shall terminate without any further obligation of the Bank to Employee other than the payment to Employee of any unpaid base salary for the time worked through the date of termination as soon as administratively feasible after termination but not later than thirty (30) days thereafter and the payment of any benefits vested, due and owing pursuant to the terms of any plans, policies or programs, payable when otherwise due.
 
5

4.           Covenants.
 
(a)          Non-Competition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such payments and benefits otherwise due under Section 2(a) shall cease to be paid, and the Bank shall have no further obligation due with respect thereto, in the event Employee engages in any conduct prohibited in this Section 3.  In exchange for this Agreement and other valuable consideration, Employee agrees that Employee will not engage in Competition for a period of twelve (12) months after Employee’s employment with the Bank ceases for any reason, regardless of whether any benefits are due under Section 2(a).  For purposes hereof, “Competition” means Employee’s performing duties that are the same as or substantially similar to those duties performed by Employee for the Bank during the last twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment, as an officer, a director, an employee, a partner or in any other capacity, within twenty-five (25) miles of the headquarters of the Bank (or any Virginia headquarters of any successor) or any branch office of the Bank (or any successor (as to its Virginia branches only) where Employee performed services for the Bank as they are located as of the date Employee’s employment ceases, if those duties are performed for a bank or other financial institution that provides products or services that are the same as or substantially similar to, and competitive with, any of the products or services provided by the Bank at the time Employee’s employment ceases.
 
(b)          Non-Piracy. In exchange for the benefits promised in this Agreement and other valuable consideration, Employee agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months after Employee’s employment ceases for any reason, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, divert from the Bank or Old Point, or do business with any “Customer” of the Bank with whom Employee had “Material Contact” during the last twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment or about whom Employee obtained non-public information while acting within the scope of his employment during the last twelve (12) months of employment, if the purpose of such solicitation, diversion or transaction is to provide products or services that are the same as or substantially similar to those offered by the Bank at the time Employee’s employment ceases.  “Material Contact” means that Employee personally communicated with the Customer, either orally or in writing, for the purpose of providing, offering to provide or assisting in providing products or services of the Bank. “Customer” means any person or entity with whom the Bank had a depository or other contractual relationship, pursuant to which the Bank provided products or services during the last twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment.
 
(c)         Non-Solicitation. In exchange for the benefits promised in this Agreement and other valuable consideration, Employee agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months after employment ceases, for any reason, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit for hire or induce any person to terminate his employment with the Bank, if the purpose is to compete with the Bank.
 
(d)         Confidentiality. As an employee of the Bank, Employee will have access to and may participate in the origination of non-public, proprietary and confidential information relating to the Bank and/or its affiliates, and Employee acknowledges a fiduciary duty owed to the Bank and its affiliates not to disclose impermissibly any such information. Confidential information may include, but is not limited to, trade secrets, customer lists and information, internal corporate planning, methods of marketing and operation, and other data or information of or concerning the Bank or its customers that is not generally known to the public or generally in the banking industry. Employee agrees that during employment and for a period of five (5) years following the cessation of employment, Employee will not use or disclose to any third party any such confidential information, either directly or indirectly, except as may be authorized in writing specifically by the Bank; provided, however that to the extent the information covered by this Section 3(d) is otherwise protected by the law, such as “trade secrets,” as defined by the Virginia Uniform Trade Secrets Act, or customer information protected by banking privacy laws, that information shall not be disclosed or used for however long the legal protections applicable to such information remain in effect.

6

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit Employee from performing any duty or obligation that shall arise as a matter of law or limit Employee’s right to communicate with a government agency, as provided for, protected under or warranted by applicable law.  Specifically, Employee shall continue to be under a duty to truthfully respond to any legal and valid subpoena or other legal process.  In the event Employee is requested to disclose confidential information by subpoena or other legal process or lawful exercise of authority, Employee shall promptly provide the Bank with notice of the same and cooperate with the Bank in the Bank’s effort, at its sole expense, to avoid disclosure.
 
Federal law provides certain protections to individuals who disclose a trade secret to their attorney, a court, or a government official in certain, confidential circumstances.  Specifically, federal law provides that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret under either of the following conditions:
 

Where the disclosure is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or
 

Where the disclosure is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
 
Federal law also provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
 
(e)         Remedies. Employee acknowledges that the covenants set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement are just, reasonable, and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Bank.  Employee further acknowledges that if Employee breaches or threatens to breach any provision of Section 3, the Bank’s remedies at law will be inadequate, and the Bank will be irreparably harmed. Accordingly, the Bank shall be entitled to an injunction, both preliminary and permanent, restraining Employee from such breach or threatened breach, such injunctive relief not to preclude the Bank from pursuing all available legal and equitable remedies. The parties further agree that in any legal action under Section 3, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of their costs and attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing or defending their rights under Section 3.
 
5.         Documents. All documents, records, tapes and other media of any kind or description relating to the business of the Bank or any of its affiliates (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by Employee, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Bank. The Documents (and any copies) shall be returned to the Bank upon Employee’s termination of employment for any reason or at such earlier time or times as the Board of Directors of the Bank or its designee may specify.
 
7

6.          Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or part thereof, is determined to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, it shall be severable from the remainder of this Agreement and shall not invalidate or affect the other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable according to their terms. No covenant shall be dependent upon any other covenant or provision herein, each of which stands independently.
 
7.         Governing Law/Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The parties further agree that venue in the event of any dispute shall be exclusively in the Circuit Court of the City of Hampton, Virginia, or the Norfolk federal court, at the sole option of the Bank, and Employee agrees not to object to venue.
 
8.           Notices. All written notices required by this Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at their addresses set forth on the signature page of this Agreement.  Each party may, from time to time, designate a different address to which notices should be sent.
 
9.           Amendment. This Agreement may not be varied, altered, modified or in any way amended except by an instrument in writing executed by the parties hereto or their legal representatives.
 
10.        Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon Employee and on the Bank, its successors and assigns, effective on the date first above written subject to the approval by the Boards of Directors of the Bank. The Bank will require any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Bank to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  This Agreement shall be freely assignable by the Bank.
 
11.         No Construction Against Any Party. This Agreement is the product of informed negotiations between Employee and the Bank. If any part of this Agreement is deemed to be unclear or ambiguous, it shall be construed as if it were drafted jointly by all parties. Employee and the Bank agree that neither party was in a superior bargaining position regarding the substantive terms of this Agreement.
 
12.         Code Section 409A Compliance.
 
(a)           The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable guidance thereunder (“Code Section 409A”) or comply with an exemption from the application of Code Section 409A and, accordingly, all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A.
 
(b)          Neither Employee nor the Bank shall take any action to accelerate or delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in any matter which would not be in compliance with Code Section 409A.

8

(c)         A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the form or timing of payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement under which (and to the extent) deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A is paid, references to a “termination” or “termination of employment” or like references shall mean separation from service. A “separation from service” shall not occur under Code Section 409A unless such Employee has completely severed Employee’s relationship with the Bank or Employee has permanently decreased Employee’s services to twenty percent (20%) or less of the average level of bona fide services over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or the full period if Employee has been providing services for less than thirty-six (36) months). A leave of absence shall only trigger a termination of employment that constitutes a separation from service at the time required under Code Section 409A. If Employee is deemed on the date of separation from service with the Bank to be a “specified employee,” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B) and using the identification methodology selected by the Bank from time to time, or if none, the default methodology, then with regard to any payment or benefit that is required to be delayed in compliance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B) (after taking into account any exclusions applicable to such payment under Section 409A), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Employee’s separation from service or (ii) the date of Employee’s death. In the case of benefits required to be delayed under Code Section 409A, however, Employee may pay the cost of benefit coverage, and thereby obtain benefits, during such six-month delay period and then be reimbursed by the Bank thereafter when delayed payments are made pursuant to the next sentence. On the first day of the seventh month following the date of Employee’s separation from service or, if earlier, on the date of Employee’s death, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 11(c) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Employee in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. If any cash payment is delayed under this Section 11(c), then interest shall be paid on the amount delayed calculated at the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal for the date of Employee’s termination to the date of payment.
 
(d)          With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits subject to Code Section 409A, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Code Section 105(b) solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect. All reimbursements shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Bank’s reimbursement policies but in no event later than the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expense is incurred.

9

(e)          If under this Agreement, an amount is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment. In the event any payment payable upon termination of employment would be exempt from Code Section 409A under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) but for the amount of such payment, the determination of the payments to Employee that are exempt under such provision shall be made by applying the exemption to payments based on chronological order beginning with the payments paid closest in time on or after such termination of employment.
 
(f)          When, if ever, a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within ten (10) days following the date of termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Bank.
 
(g)          Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Bank shall not be liable to Employee if any payment or benefit which is to be provided pursuant to this Agreement and which is considered deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A otherwise fails to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Code Section 409A.
 
13.          Regulatory Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Bank nor any affiliate shall be obligated to make, and Employee shall have no right to receive, any payment, benefit or amount under this Agreement that would violate any law, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Bank or the affiliate at the time such payment is due, including without limitation, any regulation or order of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
 
14.          Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein and it supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. It is further specifically agreed and acknowledged that, except as provided herein, Employee shall not be entitled to severance payments or benefits under any severance or similar plan, program, arrangement or agreement of or the Bank for any cessation of employment occurring while this Agreement is in effect.
 
15.          Survivability. The provisions of Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
 
16.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in counterparts and electronic or facsimile signatures have the same effect as original signatures.
 
17.          Title. The titles and sub-headings of each Section and Sub-Section in the Agreement are for convenience only and should not be considered part of the Agreement to aid in interpretation or construction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this Agreement to be executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized, and Employee has signed this Agreement, all effective as of the date first above written.
