expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in a successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to which Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. is
incorporated permit it to indemnify its officers and directors against certain liabilities with the
approval of its shareholders. The articles of incorporation of the Company, which have been

(including former directors and officers and each person who may have served at the request of the
Company as a director or officer of any other legal entity and, in all such cases, his or her
heirs, executors and administrators) against liabilities (including expenses) reasonably incurred
by him or her in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding to which he or
she may be made party by reason of his or her being or having been a director or officer of the
Company, except in relation to any action, suit or proceeding in which he or she has been adjudged
liable because of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.
The Company has purchased officers' and directors' liability insurance policies. Within the
limits of their coverage, the policies insure (1) the directors and officers of the Company against
certain losses resulting from claims against them in their capacities as directors and officers to
the extent that such losses are not indemnified by the Company and (2) the Company to the extent
that it indemnifies such directors and officers for losses as permitted under the laws of Virginia.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the
II-2
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which
was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however
, That:
(B)
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this
section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant
to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section
13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to applicable law, the
registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as it may be amended from time to time, the registrant's
Bylaws or the registrant's indemnification agreements, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in a successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
