(d) Buyer, Seller and Parent shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to roll over each Continuing Employee’s account balance under the Seller’s 401(k) plan to the Buyer’s 401(k) plan.

(e) Seller and Parent shall be solely responsible for, reimburse Buyer for, and shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from, all liabilities or obligations of any kind with

respect to Employee claims under the Family Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) for (i) wrongful termination of employment or failure to hire before the Effective Time or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement because an Employee was not designated as a Continuing Employee, or (ii) paid leave before, at and after the Effective Time while employed by Seller or Buyer to the extent of claims relating to employment with Seller before the Effective Time. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for such amounts promptly upon receiving notice of such amounts from Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the preceding sentence, without limitation, Seller shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless, Buyer for any amounts by which (a) amounts Buyer, as the “Successor in Interest” of Seller under the FMLA, is required to pay to Continuing Employees, exceed (b) amounts Buyer would otherwise be required to pay Continuing Employees under FMLA if Buyer were not deemed to be the “Successor in Interest” of Seller.

Section 8.6. [Reserved]

Section 8.7. No Use of Excluded Intangibles. Buyer agrees that without Seller’s or Parent’s consent it will not make any use of any of the Excluded Intangibles (including, in the case of trademarks or similar indicia of source or ownership, any words, symbols or logos confusingly similar to the Excluded Intangibles), or any variation thereof in any manner; provided, however that Buyer may use such marks for a period of sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

Section 8.8. Non-Competition of Seller and Parent. In consideration of the benefits of this Agreement to Seller and Parent and in order to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller and Parent covenant and agree that until the third anniversary of the Closing Date (such period, the “Non-Competition Period”), neither Seller, Parent nor any of their Affiliates shall compete, within a 60 mile radius of the offices and branches of Seller and Parent as of the Effective Time, with the business of Buyer (including, without limitation, as to the types of insurance products or insurance services carried or offered by Buyer and Seller) as conducted immediately following the Effective Time, without the express written consent of Buyer; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply within the Eastern Shore of Virginia to any Affiliate of Seller and Parent with offices and branches located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Seller and Parent covenant and agree that during the Non-Competition Period, they shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, solicit, offer employment to, actively seek to hire, hire or employ any employee of Buyer, except for hiring individuals who (a) contact such party on an unsolicited basis and on their own initiative or (b) respond to general advertisements for employment placed by such party, so long as such general advertisement does not specifically target Buyer or any of its employees. The obligations under this Section 8.8 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the acquisition, by sale, merger or otherwise, of substantially all of the equity securities, or assets, of Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. by another bank.

Section 8.9. Revenues and Contingent Income. Each party agrees that upon its receipt of any revenues to which the other party is entitled by the terms hereof, such party shall promptly forward any such payment to the other party. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Seller and Parent shall pay to Buyer all contingent income with respect to the Book of Business that Seller, Parent or any of their agents receive after the Effective Time, regardless of when such income

was earned and (b) if Seller receives monthly commissions payments from companies writing coverage for the transferred accounts, Seller shall remit all of such monies to the Buyer not later than five days after it has received the same.

Section 8.10. AMS Agency Management System. For a period of 18 months after the Closing Date, Seller and Parent shall continue to support Buyer’s use of the AMS agency management system currently utilized by Seller at no cost or expense to Buyer, except that Buyer shall pay any out-of-pocket maintenance fees charged by AMS that are directly related to Buyer’s use of the AMS agency management system and are approved by Buyer in advance, such approval not to be unreasonable withheld. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall not be responsible for paying or reimbursing Parent or Seller for any portion of their staff’s time supporting the AMS system software or hardware or for any licensing fees.

Section 8.11. Office Space. From and after the Effective Time through December 31, 2012, Parent shall allow employees of Buyer to maintain office space in Parent’s branch offices consistent with the current practice of Parent and Seller at no cost or expense to Buyer; provided, however, that Parent shall have no obligation to allow employees of Buyer to maintain office space in any branch office of Parent after the date when Parent, at its sole and absolute discretion, shall have closed, leased, sold, or otherwise transferred possession of such branch office to a third party. In any such case, Buyer shall provide reasonable notice to affected employees of Buyer.

Section 8.12. Guaranty of Receivables. To the extent any Accounts transferred at Closing from Seller to Buyer are not collected within 180 days after the later of (i) the date when due or (ii) the Closing Date, any such sums shall be deemed uncollectible. In such event, Buyer may, at its option, return ownership of any such Accounts to Seller, and Seller and Parent shall promptly reimburse Buyer for uncollected amounts under the returned Accounts.

Section 8.13. Letter to Customers. Seller and Buyer agree that they will jointly compile a letter notifying transferred customers of the purchase of the Book of Business from the Seller and that such letter shall be mailed to all affected customers within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

Section 8.14. Parent’s and Seller’s Insurance. For a period of three years after the Closing Date, Parent, Seller and their Affiliates shall purchase insurance through Buyer to the extent purchased through Seller before the Closing Date, subject to Parent, Seller, and their Affiliates continuing to be reasonably satisfied with Buyer’s performance, and further subject to the insurance products and services offered by Buyer being reasonably commercially competitive to those of other vendors with respect to pricing, coverage, and other material terms; provided, however, that the obligations under this Section 8.14 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the acquisition, by sale, merger or otherwise, of substantially all of the equity securities, or assets, of Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. by another bank.

(e) by Seller or Buyer if there shall be in effect a final and non-appealable order of a Governmental Authority restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (it being agreed that the parties hereto shall promptly appeal any adverse determination that is appealable and pursue such appeal with reasonable diligence); or

(f) by Buyer at any time if it is not satisfied, in its sole and exclusive discretion, with its due diligence investigation of Seller.

Section 9.2. Effect of Termination; Waiver. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, all further obligations of the parties under or pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate without further liability of either party to the other (except for fraud or any intentional breach of its obligations hereunder, as to which the party not in breach shall retain all of its rights and remedies to which it may be entitled at law or in equity); provided, that the parties’ obligations contained in Article X shall survive any such termination.
