                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

DIVIDENDS; SURPLUS; UNDIVIDED PROFITS (§ 6.2-869)

A. The board of directors of any bank may declare a dividend of so much as the
board shall judge expedient of the net undivided profits of the bank, after
providing for all expenses, losses, interest and taxes accrued, or due by such
bank. Before any such dividend is declared, any deficit in capital funds
originally paid in shall have been restored by earnings to their initial level,
and no dividend shall be declared or paid by any bank which would impair the
paid-in capital of the bank.

B. To ascertain the net undivided profits before any dividend shall be declared,
all debts due to such bank on which interest is past due and unpaid for a period
of 12 months, unless the same are well secured and in process of collection by
law, shall be deducted from the undivided profits in addition to all expenses,
losses, interest and taxes accrued, and the balance shall be deemed to be the
net undivided profits.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the Commission may
limit or approve the payment of dividends by the board of directors of any bank
when the Commission determines that such limitation or approval is warranted by
the financial condition of the bank.
