VOTING AGREEMENT

 

This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 10, 2016 by and among Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“HRB”), and the undersigned (the “Shareholder”).

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce HRB to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Xenith Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Xenith”) and HRB, HRB has requested Shareholder, and Shareholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement with respect to all Shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Xenith that such Shareholder beneficially owns and has voting power with respect to (the “Shares”) (as used herein, the term “Shares” shall mean (i) all shares of Xenith common stock or other capital stock or securities of Xenith beneficially owned by the Shareholder as of the date of this Agreement over which the Shareholder has voting power, and (ii) all additional shares of common stock or other capital stock or securities of Xenith of which the Shareholder acquires beneficial ownership and voting power during the period commencing on the execution and delivery of this Agreement until termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1

GRANT OF PROXY; VOTING AGREEMENT

 

Section 1.01. Voting Agreement. Shareholder hereby agrees to vote or exercise its right to consent with respect to all Shares that Shareholder is entitled to vote at the time of any vote or action by written consent to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, the Merger, the Plan of Merger and all agreements related to the Merger and any actions related thereto (including any adjournment proposal and advisory, non-binding compensation proposal set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement and submitted to the shareholders of Xenith in connection with the Merger) at any meeting of the shareholders of Xenith, and at any adjournment thereof, at which such Merger Agreement, Merger, Plan of Merger and other related agreements (or any amended version thereof), or such other actions, are submitted for the consideration and vote of the shareholders of Xenith. Shareholder hereby agrees that, for so long as this Agreement is in effect, it will not vote any Shares in favor of, or consent to, and will vote such Shares against and not consent to, the approval of any (i) Xenith Acquisition Proposal, (ii) corporate action the consummation of which would reasonably be expected to frustrate the purposes, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of, the

Section 1.02. Proxy. Shareholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to Shareholder’s Shares. By entering into this Agreement, Shareholder hereby grants a revocable proxy appointing HRB as such Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for and in such Shareholder’s name, to vote, express consent or dissent, or otherwise to utilize such voting power in the manner contemplated by Section 1.01 above as HRB or its proxy or substitute shall, in HRB’s sole discretion, deem proper with respect to Shareholder’s Shares. The proxy granted by Shareholder pursuant to this Article 1 is revocable and is granted in consideration of HRB entering into this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and incurring certain related fees and expenses. The proxy granted by Shareholder shall be revoked upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
