purpose of each of the Cardinal Plan and George Mason Plan is to offer
participants the opportunity to defer voluntarily current compensation for
retirement income and other significant future financial needs for themselves,
their families and other dependents. These two plans are also designed to
provide the Company and its subsidiaries with a vehicle to address limitations
on their contributions under any tax-qualified defined contribution plan. Participants
in the Plans may elect from various investment funds, including a Company
common stock fund that tracks the value of the Company&#146;s Common Stock, for the
amounts of compensation that they defer.</p>

may designate and allocate his or her deferral among hypothetical investment
options, which are mutual funds or a Company common stock fund. Any matching

will become fully vested in his or her matching contributions upon death,
disability, change of control, or retirement. Upon separation from service, a

following the year of deferral. A distribution of a portion of the participant&#146;s
deferral account can also be made because of an unforeseeable emergency but
only to the extent required to satisfy the emergency need. A participant may
also elect in his or her deferral election form that a distribution of his or
her entire account will be made in a lump sum payment within 30 days of the
effective date of a change in control, overriding any prior election.</p>

Chapter 9 of Title 13.1 of the Code of Virginia permits a Virginia corporation

legal proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding, if the

faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct prescribed by the
Virginia Code, and furnishes the corporation with a written undertaking to
repay any funds advanced if it is ultimately determined that the director has
not met the relevant standard of conduct. In addition, a corporation is
permitted to indemnify a director or officer against liability incurred in a
proceeding if a determination has been made by the disinterested members of the
board of directors, special legal counsel or shareholders that the director or
officer conducted himself or herself in good faith and otherwise met the

liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, 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 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.</font></p>

Item 4.                    Description of Securities
The securities being
registered are deferred compensation obligations ("Deferred Compensation
Obligations") and shares ("Shares") of Common Stock of the Registrant payable
with respect to certain Deferred Compensation Obligations of the Registrant
under each of the Cardinal Financial Corporation Executive Deferred Income Plan
(the "Cardinal Plan"), the Cardinal Financial Corporation Directors Deferred
Income Plan (the "Directors Plan") and the George Mason Mortgage, LLC Executive
Deferred Income Plan (the "George Mason Plan") (collectively, the "Plans").
General.
The
purpose of each of the Cardinal Plan and George Mason Plan is to offer
participants the opportunity to defer voluntarily current compensation for
retirement income and other significant future financial needs for themselves,
their families and other dependents. These two plans are also designed to
provide the Company and its subsidiaries with a vehicle to address limitations
on their contributions under any tax-qualified defined contribution plan. Participants
in the Plans may elect from various investment funds, including a Company
common stock fund that tracks the value of the Company's Common Stock, for the
amounts of compensation that they defer.
Any benefits to be
payable from the Plans that are attributable to a participant's investment in a
fund other than the Company common stock fund would be in cash.
Eligibility
and Participation.
Any employee of the Company who is a
member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the
Company who has been selected by the plan administrator is eligible to
participate in the Cardinal Plan. Any employee of the Company who is a member
of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of George Mason
who has been selected by the plan administrator is eligible to participate in
the George Mason Plan.
Each non-employee
director of the Company is eligible to participate in the Directors Plan and to
defer payment of his or her retainers and meeting fees as provided in the plan.
Any eligible
employee may become a participant in the Plans by completing and filing a
deferral election form with the Company. All participants (or designated
beneficiaries, if applicable) remain participants until his or her interest in
the plan is fully distributed under the terms of the Plans.
Accounts and Investments.
A
separate account is established for each participant and credited with the
amounts deferred in accordance with the Plans. These accounts reflect deferrals
and contributions, gains and losses, income and expenses allocated to a
participant, as well as distributions or other withdrawals. Each participant
may designate and allocate his or her deferral among hypothetical investment
options, which are mutual funds or a Company common stock fund. Any matching
contributions and earnings on such contributions are invested in the Company
common stock fund.
A participant may elect to defer from 5% to 100% of
his or her compensation (or, in the case of the Directors Plan, his or her retainer
and meeting fees).
II-

For participants in the Cardinal Plan and the
Directors Plan, the Company may provide a match to participant accounts in such
amounts as it may determine from time to time. The matching contribution under
the Cardinal Plan may not exceed the greater of 50% of a participant's deferral
or $50,000 annually. For participants in the Directors Plan, the Company's
matching contributions will not exceed the greater of 50% of a participant's
deferral or $10,000 annually. The George Mason Plan does not currently provide
for a matching contribution.
All participants in the Cardinal Plan and George Mason
Plan are fully vested at all times in deferral amounts and deemed earnings upon
deferrals. Participants become fully vested in matching contributions made by
the Company, and deemed earnings upon such matching contributions, upon the
fourth year after the matching contribution is made. However, a participant
will become fully vested in his or her matching contributions upon death,
disability, change of control, or retirement. Upon separation from service, a
participant is entitled to the vested portion of his or her matching
contributions, but forfeits any non-vested amount.
All participants in the Directors Plan are fully
vested immediately in deferral amounts, deemed earnings upon deferrals,
matching contributions, and deemed earnings upon matching contributions.
Payment of Benefits.
Payments
under the Cardinal Plan and the George Mason Plan are made on separation from
service, death or disability or, if the participant elects, on a fixed date
following the year of deferral. A distribution of a portion of the participant's
deferral account can also be made because of an unforeseeable emergency but
only to the extent required to satisfy the emergency need. A participant may
also elect in his or her deferral election form that a distribution of his or
her entire account will be made in a lump sum payment within 30 days of the
effective date of a change in control, overriding any prior election.
A participant's deferral
benefit is payable in the form elected by the participant on the annual
deferral election form, which can be in a lump sum or, upon retirement, in
installments up to 10 years.
Distributions from
the Directors Plan are made on termination of service from the Board or death.
The Company is entitled
to withhold all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes
required to be withheld by the Company in connection with payments made to
participants under the Plans.
Distributions from the
Plans shall be made in cash; provided, however, that to the extent that all or
a portion of a participant's deferral account is deemed to be invested in
common stock of the Company, such amounts shall be paid in shares of Common
Stock in an amount equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock credited
to the participant's deferral account as of the date of distribution. Any
fractional share shall be paid in cash.
II-

Restrictions on Transfer.
Neither
the participant nor his or her beneficiary has any right to sell, alienate,
assign, transfer or otherwise convey the right to receive any payments under
the Plans or any interest in the Plans, which payments and interest are
expressly non-assignable and non-transferable. The interests of each participant
under the Plans are not subject to claims of the participant's creditors.
Unfunded Plans.
The
Deferred Compensation Obligations incurred by the Company to pay deferral
benefits to participants under the Plans are unsecured general obligations of
the Company. The plans are unfunded, and the Company is not required to set
aside assets to be used for payment of the benefits.
Other Information.
The
Plans may be terminated or amended at any time by the Board of Directors,
effective as of the date specified, provided that no such termination or
amendment shall decrease a participant's deferral benefit accrued prior to the
date of the termination or amendment.
Item 5.                    Interests of Named Experts
and Counsel
Williams
Mullen, counsel to the Registrant, has rendered its opinion that (i) the
Deferred Compensation Obligations, when issued pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Plans, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Registrant and (ii) any Shares that are original issue securities, when issued
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plans, will be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable. Such counsel does not have a substantial
interest in or connection with the Registrant or its subsidiaries requiring
disclosure herein.
Item 6.                    Indemnification of Directors
and Officers
Article 10 of
Chapter 9 of Title 13.1 of the Code of Virginia permits a Virginia corporation
to indemnify any director or officer for reasonable expenses incurred in any
legal proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding, if the
director or officer furnishes the corporation a written statement of his good
faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct prescribed by the
Virginia Code, and furnishes the corporation with a written undertaking to
repay any funds advanced if it is ultimately determined that the director has
not met the relevant standard of conduct. In addition, a corporation is
permitted to indemnify a director or officer against liability incurred in a
proceeding if a determination has been made by the disinterested members of the
board of directors, special legal counsel or shareholders that the director or
officer conducted himself or herself in good faith and otherwise met the
required standard of conduct. In a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any matter as to
which a director or officer is adjudged to be liable to the corporation, except
for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined
that the director or officer has met the relevant standard of conduct. In any
other proceeding, no indemnification shall be made if the director or officer
is adjudged liable to the corporation on the basis that he improperly received
a personal benefit. Corporations are given the power to make any other or
further indemnity, including advance of expenses, to any director or officer
that may be authorized by the articles of incorporation or any bylaw made by
the
II-
5
shareholders, or any resolution adopted, before or
after the event, by the shareholders, except an indemnity against willful
misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law. Unless limited by its
articles of incorporation, indemnification against the reasonable expenses
incurred by a director or officer is mandatory when he or she entirely prevails
in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is a party because he or
she is or was a director or officer.
The Articles of
Incorporation of the Registrant contain provisions indemnifying the directors
and officers of the Registrant to the full extent permitted by Virginia law. In
addition, the Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant eliminate the
personal liability of the Registrant's directors and officers to the Registrant
or its shareholders for monetary damages to the full extent permitted by
Virginia law.

Item 9.                    Undertakings
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, as amended, (the "Securities Act");
(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
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 20 percent 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 paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8
or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the
II-
7
Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement.
(2)
That for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act)
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.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the 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 the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, 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 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.
