WHEREAS, for federal and, if applicable, state and local income tax purposes, it is intended that each of the Merger and the Bank Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Parties intend, by executing this Agreement, that this Agreement shall be treated as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368‑2(g) for federal and applicable state income tax purposes; and

WHEREAS, each of the boards of directors of Summit Community Bank and First Peoples Bank has approved the Agreement of Bank Merger, by and between Summit Community Bank and Peoples Bank in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Bank Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of First Peoples Bank with and into Summit Community Bank, with Summit Community Bank surviving the merger (the “Surviving Bank”) and the board of directors of First Peoples Bank has recommended to its sole shareholder (Peoples) that such shareholder approve the Bank Merger Agreement, such Bank Merger to be consummated immediately following or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (as defined below).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, subject to the conditions set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

If no such condition, event or state of facts then exists enabling a Party, or if no Party elects to exercise any right it may have, to terminate this Agreement, then and thereupon the Parties shall execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Summit, Peoples or any holder of the following securities:

(a)Summit Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of Summit (“Summit Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of Summit.

(b)Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Peoples (“Peoples Common Stock”) (other than each Dissenting Share, as defined below in Section 2.8) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall cease to be outstanding and will be converted into and become the right to receive at the election of the holder thereof as provided in Section 2.2 hereof, subject to the adjustment provided in Section 2.1(i),:

(i)For each share of Peoples Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.2 (collectively, the “Cash Election Shares”), an amount equal to $47.00 in cash, without interest (individually, the “Per Share Cash Consideration” and collectively, the “Cash Consideration”);

(ii)For each share of Peoples Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive Summit Common Stock (a “Stock Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.2 (collectively, the “Stock Election Shares”), 1.7193 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Summit Common Stock (individually, the “Per Share Stock Consideration” and collectively, the “Stock Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”); and

(iii)For each share of Peoples Common Stock other than shares as to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.2 (collectively, the “No Election Shares”), the right to receive such Stock Consideration or Cash Consideration as determined in accordance with Section 2.2(e).

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Summit Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger and, in lieu thereof, holders of shares of Peoples Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share interest (after taking into account all shares of Peoples Common Stock held by such holder) shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of such fractional share interest and the Per Share Cash Consideration. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.

(d)If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Summit Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization (a “Share Adjustment”), then the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted so that the shareholders of Peoples Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the Stock Consideration in such proportion as they would have received pursuant to such Share Adjustment had the record date therefor been immediately following the Effective Time.

(e)As of the Effective Time, all shares of Peoples Common Stock converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired, and all rights with respect thereto shall cease to exist, and each holder of Peoples Common Stock shall cease to have any rights thereto, except the right to receive, upon surrender of the Certificate(s) (as defined herein) in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, his, her or its pro rata share of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(f)At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Peoples shall be closed, and no transfer of Peoples Common Stock theretofor outstanding shall thereafter be made.

(g)Any shares of Peoples Common Stock that are owned by Peoples (including treasury shares) or Summit (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or shares held in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall automatically be canceled and retired and all rights with respect thereto shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Peoples may distribute, in a lump sum, to the Peoples shareholders, immediately prior to the Closing Date, a cash distribution per share of Peoples Common Stock (the “Special Distribution”) in the amount by which Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity exceeds the Minimum Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity Ceiling as of the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the Effective Time (as defined in 2.1(i) below), if any, divided by the number of shares of Peoples Common Stock; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Special Distribution shall not exceed (i) when combined with amounts paid to Dissenting Shareholders, Peoples assets used to pay its reorganization expenses and all redemptions and distributions (except for normal regular dividends) paid by Peoples immediately preceding the Merger, an amount that would result in either (A) less than 90% of the fair market value of net assets of Peoples, or (B) less than 70% of the fair market value of gross assets held by Peoples, immediately prior to the Special Distribution, being transferred to Merger Sub in the Merger, or (ii) when combined with the Cash Consideration, 60% of the value of the Merger Consideration (determined by adding amounts paid to Dissenting Shareholders to the Merger Consideration and the aggregate amount of the Special Distribution). If the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity does not exceed the Minimum Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity Ceiling, then the Special Distribution shall not occur.

(i)As of the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the Effective Time, if the Shareholders’ Equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP (including adjustment for the defined benefit pension plan based on an actuarial valuation as of the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the Effective Time, excluding potential costs of and for termination) and adjusted to exclude any after-tax net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (the “Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity”), is less than the Minimum Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity Floor, then the aggregate value of the Merger Consideration shall be reduced one dollar for every dollar by which the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity is less than the Minimum Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity Floor. In calculating the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity, all costs and expenses of Peoples associated with the Merger shall have been paid or accrued prior to the Closing Date, including but not limited to, legal, accounting, brokerage, advisory or consulting fees, early termination fees for data processing or other contractual arrangement, and any change-in-control or similar payments (to employees, or otherwise). Any reduction in the Merger Consideration shall be allocated between the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration proportionately in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 2.2(e). Peoples shall obtain, at its expense, the actuarial valuation of the defined benefit pension plan contemplated above, by an actuarial firm reasonably acceptable to Summit, sufficiently in advance of the time when the Parties calculate the Adjusted Shareholders Equity. The “Minimum Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity Floor” means $20,100,000. The “Minimum Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity Ceiling” means $21,100,000. For purposes of calculating whether the Merger Consideration shall be reduced pursuant to this Section 2.1(i) or whether a Special Distribution shall be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(h), gains from the sale of securities after the date of this Agreement shall be excluded from the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity.

Section 2.2. Election Procedures. Election forms and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofor representing shares of Peoples Common Stock (“Certificates”) and any non-certificated shares of Peoples Common Stock (“Book Entry Shares”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares to an exchange agent designated by Summit (the “Exchange Agent”)) and acceptable to Peoples in its reasonable discretion, in such form as Summit and Peoples shall mutually agree (“Election Forms”) shall be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of Peoples Common Stock as of five (5) Business Days prior to the Mailing Date (“Election Form Record Date”).

(a) Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions), subject to the allocation procedures of Section 2.2(e), to make a Cash Election, a Stock Election or no election with respect to each of such holder’s shares of Peoples Common Stock. Any Peoples Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) shall not have submitted to the Exchange Agent an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the twenty fifth (25^th) day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as Summit and Peoples may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”) shall also be deemed to be No Election Shares.

(b) Summit shall make available an Election Form to all persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of Peoples Common Stock between the Election Form Record Date and close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline, and Peoples shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein. Peoples acknowledges that no deadlines for mailing Election Forms contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall be applicable to such shareholders and that the election requests of such shareholders need not be honored.

(c) Any such election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificates) or Book Entry Shares representing all shares of Peoples Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline. Following the Election Deadline, an Election Form may not be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of Peoples Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become No Election Shares and Summit shall cause the Certificates or Book Entry Shares to be promptly returned without charge to the person submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from the person who submitted the Election Form. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have the sole discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither Summit nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after the Election Deadline, unless the Effective Time has not yet occurred, in which case as soon thereafter as practicable, Summit shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the holders of Peoples Common Stock of rights to receive the Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration in the Merger in accordance with the Election Forms, subject to Section 2.2(e).

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the total number of shares of Peoples Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be that number equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of (i) 0.50 multiplied by (ii) the number of outstanding shares of Peoples Common Stock (the “Stock Conversion Number”). All other shares of Peoples Common Stock shall be converted into the Cash Consideration.

(i)Stock Consideration Proration. If the aggregate number of shares of Peoples Common Stock with respect to which Stock Election Shares shall have been validly made (the “Stock Election Number”) exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all No Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof will be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number, with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

(ii)Cash Consideration Proration. If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and the No Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(A)If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of No Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and the No Election Shares of each holder thereof shall convert into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of No Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of No Election Shares held by such holder by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of No Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s No Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; or

(B)If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of No Election Shares, then all No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and the Cash Election Shares of each holder thereof shall convert into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which (x) the Shortfall Number exceeds (y) the total number of No Election Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

The pro rata selection process to be used by the Exchange Agent shall consist of such equitable pro ration processes as shall be mutually determined by Summit and Peoples.

Section 2.3. Exchange Procedures; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Each previous holder of a Certificate that has surrendered such Certificate together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form to Summit or, at the election of Summit, the Exchange Agent, pursuant to Section 2.2 shall, upon acceptance thereof by Summit or the Exchange Agent, be entitled to a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Summit Common Stock and/or cash into which the Certificate so surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and any distribution theretofor declared and not yet paid with respect to such shares of Summit Common Stock, without interest, as provided in Section 2.4.

(b) Summit or, at the election of Summit, the Exchange Agent shall accept Certificates or Book Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as Summit or the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall be appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of transfer as Summit or the Exchange Agent may reasonably require.

(c) Each outstanding Certificate or Book Entry Share shall, until duly surrendered to Summit or the Exchange Agent, be deemed to evidence ownership of the consideration into which the Peoples Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or Book Entry Share shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) After the Effective Time, holders of Certificates and Book Entry Shares shall cease to have rights with respect to the stock previously represented by such Certificates, and their sole rights shall be to exchange such Certificates and Book Entry Shares for the consideration provided for in this Agreement. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of Peoples of Certificates and Book Entry Shares, and if such Certificates and Book Entry Shares are presented to Peoples for transfer, they shall be canceled against delivery of the consideration provided therefor in this Agreement. Summit shall not be obligated to deliver the consideration to which any former holder of Peoples Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificates and Book Entry Shares as provided herein.

(e) Summit and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of Peoples to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto.

(f) In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the consideration provided for in this Agreement.

Section 2.7. Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent and Summit shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any former holder of shares of Peoples Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of the shares of Peoples Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Each holder of a Dissenting Share shall be entitled to receive the value of such Dissenting Share held by him in accordance with the applicable provisions of the WVBCA; provided, such holder complies with the procedures contemplated by and set forth in the applicable provisions of the WVBCA. If any holder of any Dissenting Share shall effectively withdraw or lose such holder’s dissenter’s rights under the applicable provisions of the WVBCA, each such Dissenting Share shall be deemed to have been converted into No Election Shares and to have become exchangeable for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of this Article II.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Peoples Shareholder Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of Peoples at the Peoples Shareholder Meeting, for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and the other matters contemplated hereby.

Summit represents and warrants and agrees that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by Summit expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Form S-4 shall, at the time the Form S-4 is filed with the SEC, at any time it is amended or supplemented and at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall, at the date of mailing to shareholders of Peoples and at the time of the Peoples Shareholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Summit represents and warrants and agrees that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, except that no representation or warranty is made by Summit with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information expressly supplied by Peoples for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Section 6.2. Proposals.

(a) Peoples agrees that, except as expressly permitted by Section 6.2(b), from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, it shall not, and shall not authorize or permit its Subsidiaries and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, agents, advisors, and affiliates to, solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information to, or have any discussions with any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that none of the foregoing shall prohibit Peoples or its Subsidiaries officers, directors, agents, advisors, and affiliates from informing any Person of the provisions of this Section 6.2 or from contacting any Person (or such Person’s representatives) who has made, after the date of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal solely to request clarification of the terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether the Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal. Peoples shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities discussions or negotiations conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with any

Persons other than Summit with respect to any of the foregoing and shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2(a), at any time from the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Required Peoples Vote, in the event Peoples receives an unsolicited, or otherwise not in breach with this Section 6.2, Acquisition Proposal and the Peoples Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, Peoples may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, agents, advisors, and affiliates to, (i) negotiate the terms of, and enter into, a confidentiality agreement with terms and conditions no less favorable to Peoples with respect to confidentiality than the Confidentiality Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”), (ii) furnish or cause to be furnished Peoples confidential information to the Person or Persons making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, and (iii) negotiate and participate in such negotiations or discussions with the Person or Persons making such Acquisition Proposal concerning such Acquisition Proposal, if the Peoples Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith (following consultation with counsel) that failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(c) The Peoples Board shall not (nor shall any committee thereof) withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Summit, the Peoples Board Recommendation or make or cause to be made any third party or public communication proposing or announcing an intention to withdraw or modify in any manner adverse to Summit the Peoples Board Recommendation (any such action, a “Change in Recommendation”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Peoples Board (including any committee thereof) may, at any time prior to obtaining the Required Peoples Vote, effect a Change in Recommendation in response to a bona fide written unsolicited Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that the Peoples Board (or the applicable committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Peoples Board may not make a Change in Recommendation, or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal until it has given Summit at least four (4) Business Days, following Summit’s initial receipt of written notice that the Peoples Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and the reasons therefor, to respond to any such Acquisition Proposal and, taking into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Summit, the Peoples Board determines in good faith (after consultation with counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(d) Peoples will promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) advise Summit in writing following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal and the substance thereof (including the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal), and will keep Summit apprised of any related material developments, discussions and negotiations (including the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal) on a reasonably current basis.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Peoples or the Peoples Board (or any committee thereof) from making any communication or disclosure to the Peoples shareholders that the Peoples Board (or applicable committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, is required under applicable law.

Section 6.3. Access to Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice, Peoples shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford to the representatives of Summit, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts and records and, during such period, Peoples shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) make available to Summit (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws, federal or state banking laws or the rules and regulations of self-regulatory organizations (other than reports or documents that such Party is not permitted to disclose under Applicable Legal Requirements) and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Summit may reasonably request. Neither Peoples nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of its customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The Parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements where reasonably permitted under Applicable Legal Requirements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) As soon as practicable after the end of each month, Peoples will deliver to Summit in electronic form (i) the monthly deposit and loan trial balances of First Peoples Bank, (ii) the monthly analysis of First Peoples Bank’s investment portfolio, and (iii) the monthly balance sheet and income statement of Peoples and its Subsidiaries.

(c) The Parties shall hold any such information that is nonpublic in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the agreement, dated as of March 29, 2018, between Peoples and Summit and as modified by that letter agreement dated as of June 27, 2018 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until immediately following the Effective Time.

(d) No such investigation by Summit shall affect the representations and warranties of any Party expressly made in this Agreement.

(e) Peoples shall permit, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to permit, Summit and/or an environmental consulting firm selected by Summit, at the sole expense of Summit, to conduct such phase I and/or phase II environmental audits, studies and tests on real property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by Peoples or any of its Subsidiaries. In the event any subsurface or phase II site assessments are conducted (which assessments shall be at Summit’s sole expense), Summit shall indemnify Peoples and its Subsidiaries for all costs and expenses associated with returning the property to its previous condition.

(f) Upon Summit’s request, Peoples and First Peoples Bank shall provide board packages and notices of board meetings to the Chief Executive Officer of Summit simultaneously with their submission to Peoples and First Peoples Bank board members, provided that information relating to Peoples and First Peoples Bank that would or could reasonably be expected to violate applicable law, regulation or orders, decrees or determinations of a Governmental Entity (together, “Peoples Board Confidential Matters”) may be excluded therefrom. Peoples and First Peoples Bank shall promptly provide the Chief Executive Officer of Summit with copies of the minutes of all regular and special meetings of the board of directors of Peoples and First Peoples Bank and minutes of all regular and special meetings of any board or senior

management committee of First Peoples Bank held on or after the date of this Agreement (except Peoples Board Confidential Matters).

Section 6.4. Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Each of Peoples and Summit shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, use all reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or advisable to consummate the Merger and the Bank Merger and make effective the other transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use all reasonable best efforts (i) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to comply promptly with all Applicable Legal Requirements that may be imposed on such Party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and the Bank Merger and to consummate the Merger and the Bank Merger, and (ii) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other Party to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and/or any other public or private third party that is required to be obtained or made by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Applicable Legal Requirements or any contract or other obligation in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that a Party shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the foregoing if the taking of such action or such compliance or the obtaining of such consent, authorization, order, approval or exemption shall result in a condition or restriction on such Party or on the Surviving Entity having an effect of the type referred to in Section 7.1(f). In furtherance and not in limitation of the Parties’ obligations under this Section 6.4, each of the Parties further agrees as follows:

(i)Within forty-five (45) days of the execution of this Agreement, each of Peoples and Summit shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use all reasonable best efforts to prepare all necessary documentation and effect all necessary filings, applications, registrations, and notices in order to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals.

(ii)Peoples shall cooperate with Summit and shall furnish to Summit and Summit’s counsel all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be necessary or advisable in connection with any application, filing, notice, registrations, or any other statement or application made by or on behalf of any Party or its Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and Bank Merger. Peoples shall have the right to review reasonably in advance all filings made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with any Governmental Entity (other than with regard to information reasonably considered confidential by the providing Person). In addition, Summit shall furnish to Peoples a final copy of each such filing made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with any Governmental Entity (other than any part of such filings reasonably considered confidential by Summit).

(b) Each of Peoples and Summit and their respective boards of directors shall, if any state Takeover Statute or similar statute becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated hereby, use all reasonable best efforts to provide that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.5. Issuance of Summit Common Stock. The shares of Summit Common Stock to be issued by Summit to the shareholders of Peoples pursuant to this Agreement will, on the issuance and delivery to such shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Section 6.6. Stock Exchange Listing. Summit shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Summit Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be authorized for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.7. Employee Benefit Plans and Employee Matters.

(a) At or as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, (i) Summit shall provide employees of Peoples with employee benefit plans substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Summit, (ii) Summit shall cause any and all pre-existing condition limitations (to the extent such limitations did not apply to a pre-existing condition under the Compensation and Benefit Plans) and eligibility waiting periods under group health plans to be waived with respect to such participants and their eligible dependents, and (iii) to the extent permitted by Summit’s benefit plans, all Peoples employees will receive credit for years of service with Peoples and its predecessors prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility and vesting but not for purposes of benefit accrual under Summit’s benefit plans, except this Section 6.7(a)(iii) will not apply to the Summit Financial Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan and no prior service credit will be granted for any purpose under that plan.

(b) Except for employees of First Peoples Bank with individual agreements that provide for payment of severance under certain circumstances (who will be paid severance only in accordance with such agreements), Summit agrees that each employee of First Peoples Bank who is involuntarily terminated by Summit or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for cause) on or within the time period set forth on Section 6.7(b) of the Peoples Disclosure Schedule shall receive a severance payment equal to the amount set forth on Section 6.7(b) of the Peoples Disclosure Schedule, but only if such employee does not have rights to a severance payment under an employment agreement, in which case no severance payment shall be made to such employee pursuant to this Section 6.7(b).

(c) If requested by Summit not later than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date, Peoples shall take such action as may be necessary to terminate its 401(k) plan and trust not later than immediately prior to the Closing Date, including accruing the estimated expense associated with terminating its 401(k) plan and trust. If requested or approved by Summit, Peoples will file with the IRS an Application for Determination upon Termination with respect to the termination of such plan. Following the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS relating to the termination of the 401(k) plan and trust, the assets of each plan shall be distributed to participants or rolled into Summit’s 401k/profit sharing plan, as permitted by such plan or applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 401(k) plan trustee may, but is not required to, except to the extent necessary to comply with the plan or Applicable Legal Requirements, make distributions to certain non-continuing Peoples employees before the receipt of a favorable determination letter. In the event a favorable ruling is not issued, Peoples agrees that termination of the 401(k) plan shall not occur and the 401(k) plan shall not be merged with Summit’s 401(k) plan.

(d) Peoples agrees that its employee welfare benefit plans, as defined in ERISA § 3(1) (each, a “Welfare Plan”), may be, provided that their terms and conditions so allow, terminated, modified or merged into Summit’s Welfare Plans on or after the Closing Date, as determined by Summit in its sole discretion, subject to compliance with applicable law so long as any such action does not reduce any benefits already earned thereunder. If requested in writing by Summit not less than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date, Peoples will take, and will cause First Peoples Bank to take, all action necessary to terminate any Peoples Welfare Plan, effective no later than immediately before the Closing Date.

Section 6.8. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Peoples and Summit shall each take all such steps as may be required to cause any acquisitions of Summit Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Summit Common Stock) resulting from the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. Peoples shall deliver to Summit the Section 16 Information reasonably in advance of the Effective Time, and the Summit Board, or a committee of Non-Employee Directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b‑3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall reasonably promptly thereafter and in any event prior to the Effective Time adopt a resolution providing that the receipt by the Peoples Insiders of Summit Common Stock in exchange for shares of Peoples Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby and to the extent such securities are listed in the Section 16 Information provided by Peoples to Summit prior to the Effective Time, are intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act such that any such receipt shall be so exempt.

Section 6.9. Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such expense, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2 hereof, and furthermore, with respect to Peoples and its Subsidiaries, shall be incurred or recognized as an expense for purposes of the calculation of Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity pursuant to Section 2.1(i), and except that (a) if the Merger and the Bank Merger are consummated, the Surviving Entity shall pay, or cause to be paid, any and all property or transfer taxes imposed on either Party in connection with the Merger, and (b) the printing and mailing expenses incurred in connection with printing and mailing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Form S-4 shall be shared equally by Summit and Peoples.

Section 6.10. Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Following the Closing Date and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, Summit shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present directors, officers and employees of Peoples and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the fullest extent that Peoples is currently permitted or required to indemnify (and advance expenses to) its directors, officers and employees under the laws of the State of West Virginia, Peoples and its Subsidiaries respective articles, bylaws, similar constituent documents and any agreement as in effect on the date hereof; provided that any determination required to be made with respect to whether an officer’s, director’s or employee’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under West Virginia law, Peoples and its Subsidiaries respective articles, bylaws, similar constituent documents and any agreement shall be made by independent counsel (which shall not be counsel that provides material services to Summit) selected by Summit and reasonably acceptable to such officer or director.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.10(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly notify Summit thereof; provided, that the failure so to notify shall not affect the obligations of Summit under Section 6.10(a) unless and to the extent that Summit is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(c) For a period of three (3) years from the Effective Time, Summit shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against present and former directors and officers of Peoples and its Subsidiaries arising from facts or events that occurred before the Effective Time, which insurance shall contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous, as that coverage currently provided by Peoples and its Subsidiaries; provided, that in no event shall Summit be required to expend, on an annual basis, more than 150% of the current amount expended by Peoples or its Subsidiaries (the “Insurance Amount”) to maintain or procure such directors and officers insurance coverage; and provided, further, that if Summit is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 6.10(c), Summit shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Insurance Amount; and provided, further, that officers and directors of Peoples or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to Summit’s insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance.

(d) If Summit or its Subsidiaries or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Summit or its Subsidiaries shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

Section 6.11. Public Announcements. Except to the extent required by Applicable Legal Requirements or the requirements of any listing agreement with or rules or regulations of Nasdaq, Summit and Peoples shall use reasonable best efforts (a) to develop a joint communications plan, and (b) to provide that all press releases and other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consistent with such joint communications plan, and (c) to consult with each other before issuing any press release or, to the extent practical, otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the Bank Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the foregoing, except to the extent required by Applicable Legal Requirements or the requirements of any listing agreement with or rules of Nasdaq or to the extent disclosed in or consistent with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1, no Party shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure concerning the other Party or the other Party’s business, financial condition or results of operations without the consent of such other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.11 to the contrary, Peoples or Summit may make any disclosure or communication pursuant to Section 6.2 without complying with the provisions of this Section 6.11.

Section 6.12. Tax Matters. Peoples and Summit each shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, take or cause to be taken any action, whether before or after the Effective Time or the Effective Time, as the case may be, which would reasonably be expected to disqualify the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (b) Peoples and Summit each agree to file all tax returns consistent with the treatment of the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Section 6.13. Untrue Representations. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing if such notifying Party becomes aware of any fact or condition that makes untrue, or shows to have been untrue, any schedule or any other information furnished to the other Party or any representation or warranty made in or pursuant to this Agreement or that results in the notifying Party’s failure to comply with any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement.

Section 6.14. Litigation and Claims.

(a) Peoples shall promptly notify Summit in writing of any threatened or commenced litigation, or of any claim, controversy or contingent liability that might reasonably be expected to be asserted or become the subject of litigation, against Peoples or affecting any of its properties, Subsidiaries or affiliates and Peoples shall promptly notify Summit of any legal action, suit or proceeding or judicial, administrative or governmental investigation, pending or, to the knowledge of Peoples, threatened against Peoples that questions or might question the validity of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any actions taken or to be taken by Peoples pursuant hereto or seeks to enjoin, materially delay or otherwise restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(b) Summit shall promptly notify Peoples in writing of any threatened or commenced litigation, or of any claim, controversy or contingent liability that might reasonably be expected to be asserted or become the subject of litigation, against Summit or affecting any of its properties, Subsidiaries or affiliates and Summit shall promptly notify Peoples of any legal action, suit or proceeding or judicial, administrative or governmental investigation, pending or, to the knowledge of Summit, threatened against Summit that questions or might question the validity of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any actions taken or to be taken by Summit pursuant hereto or seeks to enjoin, materially delay or otherwise restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(c) Peoples shall give Summit the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against Peoples or its directors or officers relating to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Peoples may not enter into any settlement agreement in respect of any shareholder litigation against Peoples or its directors or officers relating to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without Summit’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). For purposes of this Section 6.14, “participate” means that Summit will be kept apprised of the proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the litigation by Peoples (to the extent the attorney-client privilege, work product or other similar privilege between the litigating party and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Summit may offer comments or suggestions with respect to the litigation but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over the litigation except for the settlement consent set forth above.

Section 6.15. Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Entity with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either of the Constituent Corporations, the proper officers and directors of each Party shall take all such necessary action, including the execution of all necessary and desirable agreements, certificates, instruments and documents.

Section 6.16. Support Agreements. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, each of the directors of Peoples shall enter into a Director Support Agreement with Summit (each a “Director Support Agreement”). The form of the Director Support Agreement is attached as Exhibit B hereto.

Section 6.17. Disclosure Schedules. If applicable, at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with supplemental Disclosure Schedules reflecting any material changes thereto between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date. Delivery of such supplemental Disclosure Schedules shall not cure a breach or modify a representation or warranty of this Agreement.

Section 6.18. Change of Method. Summit, with the written consent of Peoples, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be entitled to, at any time prior to the Closing Date, to change the method or structure of effecting the combination of Summit and Peoples (including the provisions of Article I) and the Bank Merger, if and to the extent that Summit deems such change to be necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change in any way the type or amount of the Merger Consideration, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of Peoples shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of Peoples or Summit pursuant to this Agreement or (iv) materially impede or delay the consummation of the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement in a timely manner. The Parties agree to reflect any such change in an appropriate amendment to this Agreement executed by both Parties in accordance with Section 8.3.

Section 6.19. Tax Sharing/Allocation Agreements. All tax-sharing, tax allocation or similar agreements with respect to or involving Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability and, unless the effect of such invalidity or unenforceability would prevent the Parties from realizing the major portion of the economic benefits of the Merger that they currently anticipate obtaining therefrom, shall not render invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affect the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only as broad as is enforceable.

Section 9.8. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be assigned by either of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 9.9. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all disputes between the Parties under or related to this Agreement or the facts and circumstances leading to its execution or performance, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of West Virginia, without reference to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

(b) Each of the Parties (i) irrevocably submits itself to the personal jurisdiction of all state and federal courts sitting in the State of West Virginia, including to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from such courts, in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any facts and circumstances leading to its execution or performance, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, suit or proceeding must be brought, heard and determined exclusively in any federal or state court located in the State of West Virginia, (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such courts, (iv) agrees not to bring any action, suit or proceeding against the other Party or its Affiliates arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any facts and circumstances leading to its execution or performance in any other courts, and (v) waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action, suit or proceeding so brought. Each of the Parties agrees to waive any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal thereof.

(c) Each of the Parties agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document in accordance with Section 9.3 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it by the other Party in connection with Section 9.9(b), provided that nothing contained herein shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

Section 9.10. Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable injury, for which damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving actual monetary loss or posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court identified in Section 9.9, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

For the convenience of the parties hereto, this Bank Merger Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which is to be deemed an original, and all counterparts hereof so executed by the parties hereto, whether or not such counterpart bears the execution of each of the parties hereto, is deemed to be, and is to be construed as, one and the same Bank Merger Agreement.

14.Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees from time to time, as and when requested by the other party hereto, or by its successors or assigns, to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such deeds and instruments and to take or cause to be taken such further or other acts, either before or after the Effective Time, as may be deemed necessary or desirable in order to vest in and confirm to the Resulting Bank title to and possession of any assets of First Peoples Bank or Summit Community Bank acquired or to be acquired by reason of or as a result of the Bank Merger and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes hereof, and the officers and directors of the parties hereto are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporate names to take any and all such actions.

FORM OF DIRECTOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [•], 2018, by and between Summit Financial Group, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (“Summit”), and [•] an individual resident of the State of [•] (“Director”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Summit and Peoples Bankshares, Inc. (“Peoples”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of [•], 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”) (terms used herein with their initial letters capitalized and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement); and

WHEREAS, in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the obligations of Summit under the Merger Agreement, Summit and Director have agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for receipt of such confidential information and trade secrets and in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, Summit and Director agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Section 1. Director Support. Director agrees to use his or her best efforts to refrain from harming the goodwill of Peoples and any subsidiary of Peoples (“Peoples Subsidiary”) or Summit and any subsidiary of Summit (“Summit Subsidiary”), and their respective customer and client relationships.

Section 2. Director Covenants.

(a) Director acknowledges that he has received substantial, valuable consideration,

including confidential trade secret and proprietary information of Peoples and any Peoples Subsidiary relating to the identity and special needs of current and prospective customers, current and prospective services, business projections and market studies, business plans and strategies, and studies and information concerning special services unique to Peoples and any Peoples Subsidiary, respectively. Director further acknowledges that he has received similar confidential information from Summit regarding Summit and the Summit Subsidiaries as a result of the negotiations resulting in the Merger Agreement and will continue to receive such information through the consummation of the Merger. Director further acknowledges and agrees that this consideration constitutes fair and adequate consideration for the execution of the non-solicitation and non-competition restrictions set forth below. Accordingly, other than in any capacity for or on behalf of Summit or any subsidiary of Summit, Director agrees that for a period of 18 months after the Closing Date, Director will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as an employee, partner, officer, director or shareholder or in any other capacity whatsoever:

(i) solicit the business of any person or entity who is a customer of Peoples, any Peoples Subsidiary, Summit or any Summit Subsidiary as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date on behalf of any other “insured depository institution” (which term includes, for avoidance of doubt, credit unions);

(ii) (A) acquire any interest in (directly or indirectly), charter, operate or enter into any franchise or other management agreement with, any insured depository institution that has a location within a 25-mile radius of any location of Peoples, any Peoples Subsidiary, Summit or any Summit Subsidiary as of the date of this Agreement (the “Noncompete Area”) (but Director may (1) retain any

existing ownership interest in any insured depository institution as disclosed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, (2) acquire an ownership interest in any publicly-traded depository institution, so long as that ownership interest does not exceed 5% of the total number of shares outstanding of that depository institution, and (3) invest in an existing mutual fund that invests, directly or indirectly, in such insured depository institutions),

(B) serve as an officer, director or employee of, or an agent or consultant with respect to the provision of banking services for, any insured depository institution that has a location within the Noncompete Area, or

(iii) recruit, hire, assist others in recruiting or hiring, discuss employment with, or refer others concerning employment, any person who is, or within the 12 months preceding the Closing Date was, an employee of Peoples, any Peoples Subsidiary, Summit or any Summit Subsidiary; provided that Director shall not be prohibited from recruiting, hiring, assisting others in recruiting or hiring, discussing employment with, or referring others concerning employment, any such employee if (i) such employee’s employment is terminated by Peoples, any Peoples Subsidiary, Summit, any Summit Subsidiary or any of their respective affiliates or successors, or (ii) such employee responds to a general solicitation not targeted to employees of Peoples, any Peoples Subsidiary, Summit or any Summit Subsidiary or any of their respective affiliates or successors. Nothing in this Section 2(a)(iii) applies to employment other than in the financial services business.

Director may not avoid the purpose and intent of this Section 2(a) by engaging in conduct within the geographically limited area from a remote location through means such as telecommunications, written correspondence, computer generated or assisted communications, or other similar methods.

(b) If any court of competent jurisdiction should determine that the terms of this Section 2 are too broad in terms of time, geographic area, lines of commerce or otherwise, that court is to modify and revise any such terms so that they comply with applicable law.

(c) Director agrees that (i) this Agreement is entered into in connection with the sale to Summit of the goodwill of the business of Peoples, (ii) Director is receiving valuable consideration for this Agreement, (iii) the restrictions imposed upon Director by this Agreement are essential and necessary to ensure Summit acquires the goodwill of Peoples and (iv) all the restrictions (including particularly the time and geographical limitations) set forth in this Agreement are fair and reasonable.

Section 3. Early Resolution Conference. This Agreement is understood to be clear and enforceable as written and is executed by both parties on that basis. However, should Director later challenge any provision as unclear, unenforceable or inapplicable to any competitive activity that Director intends to engage in, Director will first notify Summit in writing and meet with a Summit representative and a neutral mediator (if Summit elects to retain one at its expense) to discuss resolution of any disputes between the parties. Director will provide this notice at least 14 days before Director engages in any activity on behalf of a competing business or engages in other activity that could foreseeably fall within a questioned restriction.

Section 4. Termination. This Agreement and all obligations hereunder will terminate on the earlier of (a) the date the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Merger Agreement or (b) the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date.

Section 5. Injunctive Relief. Summit and Director hereby acknowledge and agree that Summit and Peoples will be irreparably damaged if this Agreement is not specifically enforced. Accordingly, Summit and Peoples are entitled to injunctive relief restraining any violation of this Agreement by Director (without any bond or other security being required), or any other appropriate decree of specific performance. Such remedies are not to be exclusive and are in addition to any other remedy that Summit or Peoples may have at law or in equity.

Section 6. Assignability. Director may not assign his or her obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Summit.

Section 7. Parties Bound. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

Section 8. Applicable Law. This Agreement is to be construed under and according to the laws of the State of West Virginia. Venue for any cause of action arising from this agreement will lie in Hardy County, West Virginia.

Section 9. Legal Construction. If any of the provisions contained in this Agreement are for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, that provision is to be fully severable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability is not to affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement is to be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement are to remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, in lieu of that illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there is to be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

Section 10. Notice. Any and all notices, requests, instructions and other communications to be given under this Agreement may be delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by mail or (except in the case of payments) by electronic mail or facsimile transmission, at the respective addresses or transmission numbers set forth below and will be effective (a) in the case of personal delivery, electronic mail or facsimile transmission, when received; (b) in the case of mail, upon the earlier of actual receipt or five business days after deposit in the United States Postal Service, first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; and (c) in the case of nationally-recognized overnight courier service, one business day after delivery to such courier service together with all appropriate fees or charges and instructions for such overnight delivery.

FORM OF VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY

This VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY (this “Agreement”) dated as of [•], 2018 is executed by and among Summit Financial Group, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (“Summit”), Peoples Bankshares, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (“Peoples”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Tissue (“Mr. Tissue”), as proxy, H. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, III (“▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇”), as proxy, and the Peoples shareholder listed on the signature page to this Agreement (“Shareholder”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Summit and Peoples have executed that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of [•], 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of Peoples with and into Summit, with Summit surviving the merger (the “Merger”) (terms with their initial letters capitalized and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement); and

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement requires that Peoples deliver this Agreement to Summit; and

WHEREAS, Peoples and Summit are relying on the obligations set forth in this Agreement in incurring expenses in reviewing Peoples’ business, in proceeding with the filing of applications for regulatory approvals, and in undertaking other actions necessary for the consummation of the Merger, and Shareholder is benefiting both from such expenditures by Summit and by the terms of the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Peoples, Summit, and the Shareholders undertake, promise, covenant and agree with each other as follows:

AGREEMENT

ARTICLE X Shareholder owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, “owns beneficially”) the shares of common stock of Peoples (the “Common Stock”) set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Shareholder shall vote, direct to vote, or act by consent with respect to:

Section 10.1. the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on Schedule 1, attached hereto; and

Section 10.2. all shares of Common Stock that Shareholder owns beneficially as of the record date of any meeting of the shareholders of Peoples or otherwise as of the date of such vote

(collectively, the “Shares”), in favor of the approval of the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that some or all of the Shares may be subject to voting power and/or dispositive power with a spouse or a Person not subject to this Agreement and Shareholder agrees to take any necessary action to vote any such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not constitute an agreement or understanding of Shareholder in his, her or its capacity as a director or officer of Peoples, as applicable, but only in his or her capacity as a holder of the Shares. Nothing herein shall limit or affect Shareholder’s ability to act as an officer or director of Peoples.

ARTICLE XII In order to better effect the provisions of Section 1 of this Agreement, Shareholder hereby revokes any previously executed proxies and hereby constitutes and appoints Mr. Tissue and ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, or either one of them, with full power of substitution, his, her or its true and lawful proxy and attorney‑in‑fact (whether individually or collectively, the “Proxy Holder”) to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of Peoples (each, a “Meeting”) all of the Shares in favor of the approval of the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, with such modifications to the Merger Agreement as the parties thereto may make; but this proxy will not apply with respect to any vote on the Merger Agreement if the Merger Agreement is modified so as to reduce the amount of consideration or the form of consideration to be received by the shareholders of Peoples or the tax consequences of the receipt thereof under the Merger Agreement in its present form. To the extent that Shareholder holds shares in street name, Shareholder shall notify the broker of the existence of this proxy no later than concurrently with the mailing of the proxies for the Meeting, and Shareholder shall take all other reasonable steps required for the broker to honor the vote of the Proxy Holder.

ARTICLE XIV Shareholder acknowledges that Peoples and Summit are relying on this Agreement in incurring expenses in Summit’s reviewing Peoples’ business, in Peoples’ preparing a proxy statement/prospectus, in Summit’s proceeding with the filing of applications for regulatory approvals, and in their undertaking other actions necessary for completing the Merger and that THE PROXY GRANTED HEREBY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND IS IRREVOCABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, West Virginia Business Corporation Act, as amended and the West Virginia Limited Liability Company Act, as amended. Shareholder and Peoples acknowledge that the performance of this Agreement is intended to benefit Summit.

ARTICLE XVII The vote of the Proxy Holder will control in any conflict between his vote of the Shares and a vote by the substitute proxy holder or Shareholder of the Shares, and Peoples agrees to recognize the vote of the Proxy Holder instead of the vote of substitute proxy holder or Shareholder if the substitute proxy holder or Shareholder does not vote in accordance with Section 1 of this Agreement.
