STANDBY PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This STANDBY PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is by and among the undersigned purchaser (the “Standby Purchaser “) and First National Corporation (the “Company”).
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to distribute, at no charge, to each holder of record of shares of common stock, par value $1.25 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) on a record date to be set by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Record Date”) non-transferable rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for and purchase additional shares of Common Stock (the “Rights
Offering”); and
WHEREAS, in the Rights Offering, the Company’s shareholders of record as of the Record Date will receive one Right for each share of Common Stock held as of the Record Date, with each Right entitling the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $4.00 per share (the “Subscription Price”); and
WHEREAS, each holder of Rights who exercises in full its Rights in the Rights Offering (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”) will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock to the extent they are available, at the Subscription Price (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”); and
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the Rights Offering, the Company is offering to selected accredited investors (the “Standby Offering”) the opportunity to purchase at the Subscription Price, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any shares of Common Stock that are not exercised pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege or subscribed for pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege in the Rights Offering (the “Unsubscribed
Shares”); and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
Section 1. Standby Purchase Commitment.
(a) Standby Purchase Commitment. If and to the extent Unsubscribed Shares are not purchased by the Company’s shareholders pursuant to the exercise of Rights (including both the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Over-Subscription Privilege) under the Rights Offering, the Standby Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company at the Subscription Price the amount of Common Stock indicated on the Signature Page hereto (the “Commitment Amount”). The Company shall
promptly deliver all funds received from the Standby Purchaser for the Commitment Amount to the independent escrow agent, SunTrust Bank (the “Escrow Agent”), for deposit in a noninterest bearing account (the “Escrow Account”).
(b) Acceptance by the Company. The Company in its sole discretion may accept all or any portion of the Commitment Amount set forth on the signature page hereto and shall have
3
no obligation to accept commitments in the order received. The Company shall be deemed to have accepted the Commitment Amount upon the execution of this Agreement by the Company’s authorized representative on the signature page hereto, and the return of this Agreement, as fully executed, or a copy thereof, to the Standby Purchaser. Any commitment that is rejected by the Company will be marked “Void” and returned along with any unnegotiated check or the cash proceeds from a negotiated check, without interest or other income, promptly thereafter. Nothing in this subsection shall limit the Company’s ability, in its sole discretion, to allocate the
Unsubscribed Shares among the Standby Purchasers in the Standby Offering in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 1 of this Agreement.
(c) Confirmation of Commitment. Upon acceptance of the Commitment Amount by the Company, the Company will hold the Standby Purchase Agreement in escrow until the date on which the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the Rights Offering (the
“Announcement Date”). Prior to the Announcement Date, the Company will contact the Standby Purchaser for authorization to release the Standby Purchase Agreement from escrow. Upon release of the Standby Purchase Agreement from escrow, the Standby Purchaser’s commitment pursuant to this Agreement (i) will be binding upon the Standby Purchaser’s heir, successors, legal representatives and assigns and (ii) may not be canceled, modified, terminated or revoked by the Standby Purchaser for any reason.
(d) Allocation of Unsubscribed Shares. Promptly following the expiration of the Rights Offering, the Company will determine the amount of Unsubscribed Shares. The Company, in its sole discretion, may allocate the Unsubscribed Shares among the Standby Purchasers in the Standby Offering. Upon the Company’s determination of the allocation of the Common Stock to each Standby Purchaser, the Company promptly will notify the Standby Purchaser in writing of the amount of Common Stock to be purchased by him, which amount may be less than the Commitment Amount
(the “Allocated Amount”).
(e) Closing. On the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Allocated Amount (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of the Company at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on or about June 29, 2012, or such other place, time or date as may be determined by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Closing
Date”).
(f) Regulatory Limitations. The Standby Purchaser will not be permitted, individually or acting in concert, to acquire 9.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the Rights Offering and Standby Offering (the “Regulatory Limit”), if (i) the Company has not approved such purchase and (ii) in the Company’s opinion, the Standby Purchaser is required to give prior notice to, obtain prior clearance or approval from or make any commitment to
any state or federal bank regulatory authority to own or control such shares and such notice, clearance, approval or expiration of such waiting period has not been obtained prior to the Closing Date. In that event, the Company in its sole discretion may (i) reduce the Allocated Amount or (ii) conduct one or more additional Closings with respect to the amount of the Allocated Amount in excess of such Regulatory Limit at such time that, in the Company’s opinion, all regulatory requirements have been satisfied.
4
(g) Extension. At any time prior to the Announcement Date, the Company may extend the Standby Offering in its sole discretion; provided, that if the Company extends the Offering further than April 30, 2012, the Company promptly will send notice to the Standby Purchaser.
(h) Withdrawal and Termination. At any time prior to the Closing Date, the Company may in its sole discretion withdraw or terminate the Rights Offering or the Standby Offering. In the event that the Company withdraws or terminates the Rights Offering or the Standby Offering, the Company will return the Standby Purchaser’s payment, or portion thereof, to the Standby Purchaser, without interest or other income, promptly thereafter.
Section 2. Representations and Warranties of the Standby Purchaser. The Standby Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements thereof.
(h) No authorization, approval, consent or license of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign (other than under the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended) or of any other person is required for the purchase by the Standby Purchaser of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Commitment Amount to be purchased by the Standby Purchaser hereunder and the consummation by the Standby Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
