“(a) The Employer hereby employs the Executive as Senior Vice President and Business Line Chief Financial Officer reporting to the individuals appointed by the Employer and its Board of Directors and Executive hereby accepts said employment to begin on the Merger Date and agrees to render such services to the Employer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The term of employment under this Agreement (the “Term”) shall be for two (2) years commencing on the Merger Date and conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger.

In addition, if the Executive’s employment with the Employer terminates prior to the end of the Term, the Employer will cause the Executive (or his spouse in the case of death of the Executive) to receive health and welfare benefits for the then remaining Term (absent the Executive’s termination of employment). ”

Elimination of Change in Control Provisions. Effective on the Merger Date, Section 6 of the Employment Agreement is deleted in its entirety and all references to Section 6 in the Employment Agreement shall be of no force and effect. After the Merger Date, no Change in Control payments are provided for under this Amended Agreement.

No payment shall be made after the Executive’s termination of employment during the Term. Unless the Executive’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by the Corporation for reasons other than Cause during the Term or unless the Executive’s employment with the Corporation is terminated for death or Disability during the Term, the Executive shall repay to the Corporation the aggregate amount of retention payments paid to the Executive prior to such termination of employment within thirty (30) days following written demand from the Corporation for such repayment.”

9.	Change in Restrictive Covenants. Effective on the Merger Date, Section 8 is amended as follows:

Introductory language is added before existing Subsection (a) to read as follows:

“The restrictive covenants contained in this Section 8, particularly, the covenant not to compete, not to raid customers or opportunities and not to solicit employees of the Employer set forth in subsections 8(b)(i), (ii) and (iii), respectively, are renewed, as amended hereby, including the addition of a non-disparagement clause at Subsection 8(b)(iv) (the “Restrictive Covenants”), effective as of the date of the Merger. To the extent any provision of the Employment Agreement in effect prior to the Merger Date provides or could be read to provide that the Employer waived the Restrictive Covenants on a Change in Control or that the Restrictive Covenants as in effect prior to the Merger Date would not be enforceable after the Merger Date because the Merger effects a Change in Control, the parties agree, by the amendment to the Employment Agreement as of the Merger Date, to reinstate the Restrictive Covenants as amended, on the Merger Date. The Restrictive Covenants shall be and remain in effect for the period during which the Executive is an employee of the Employer (and all direct and indirect subsidiaries) and for a period of one year after the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason. The Executive acknowledges that Executive has received sufficient consideration for the reinstatement of the Restrictive Covenants, including, but not limited to, a portion of the consideration set forth in Section 1 of this Amendment to the Employment Agreement as of the Merger Date and continued employment of the Executive and concomitant compensation opportunities. The Executive further acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in scope (including, the geographic and temporal limitations) and necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the Employer and that the Employer would be irreparably harmed if the Executive violates any one or more of the Restrictive Covenants. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy the Employer may have at law or in equity:

(i)

The Employer shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other writ or order restraining the Executive from violating the Restrictive Covenants; and

(ii)

As liquidated damages, a sum equal to $250,000 as a claw back of a portion of the consideration provided to the Executive in consideration for the Restrictive Covenants, an amount the Executive recognizes as an equitable and fair amount in view of the Executive’s violation of one or more of the Restrictive Covenants.”

(ii)

Subsection 8(b) of the Employment Agreement is amended to read as follows:

“8(b) The Executive agrees that, following the termination of his employment under this Agreement for any reason, he will not, for a period of time equal to the longer of one (1) year or what would have been the end of the Term absent his termination of employment, directly or indirectly and in any way, whether as a principal or as director, officer, employee consultant, agent, partner or shareholder of another entity (other than by the ownership of a passive investment interest of not more than 5% in a company with publically traded equity securities) (i) own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any business located within 75 miles of any operation or banking branch of the Employer or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that competes with any business of the Employer or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, (ii) interfere with, solicit on behalf of another or attempt to entice away from the Corporation any project, loan, arrangement, agreement, financing or customer of the Employer or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or any contract, agreement or arrangement that the Employer or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries is actively negotiating with any other party, or any prospective business opportunity that the Employer has identified; (iii) for himself or another, hire, attempt to hire, or assist in or facilitate in any way the hiring of any employee of the Employer or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, or (iv) disparage the reputation or character, image or products or services of the Employer or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, its officers, directors, employees or suppliers, agent and servants.”

10.	Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Effective on the Merger Date, Section 13 is amended to read:

“13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States where applicable and otherwise by the substantive laws of the State of West Virginia, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. Any dispute arising out of this Employment Agreement shall be heard in a court of competent jurisdiction over cases and controversies arising in Wheeling, West Virginia.”
