called the "Bank," party of the first part, and XXXXXXX X. XXXXXXX, XX.,
hereinafter called the "Officer," party of the second part.
W I T N E S S E T H :

by the Bank in an executive capacity;
WHEREAS, the Bank desires to retain the valuable services and business
counsel of the Officer and to induce the Officer to remain in an executive

ARTICLE 2. PAYMENT OF PRE RETIREMENT (DEATH) BENEFITS

and will be payable upon the first business day of each month.
ARTICLE 3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION
If the Officer is still in the employ of the Bank at retirement and
covered under this Agreement, whether or not temporarily or permanently
disabled, the Bank shall, after the Officer's retirement, commence payments
as provided in this Article 3 and set forth below. Subject to the provisions
and limitations of this Agreement, the Bank shall pay to the Officer a monthly
benefit which shall commence the first day of the month next following the
Officer's retirement date and shall be payable monthly thereafter until one
hundred eighty payments have been made.

to early retirement will be the amount payable under Article 3A above
actuarially reduced. Such payments are to begin the first day of the month

C. Death Benefit. In the event of death of the Officer while covered
by this Agreement on or after retirement regardless of age, payments as
stated in paragraph A of Article 3 above shall be made as provided in Article

the event the Officer dies while covered by this Agreement prior to
retirement, Article 2 shall control. However, in no
20
event shall payments be made under provisions of Article 2 if payments are
being made under provisions of Article 3.
ARTICLE 4. CONDITIONS
A. Normal Employment. The payment of benefits under this Agreement to
the Officer or Officer's Beneficiaries is conditioned upon the continuous
employment (periods of temporary disability and authorized leave of absence
shall be considered as periods of employment) of the Officer by the Bank
from date of execution of this Agreement until the date the Officer attains
Retirement Age or becomes deceased, and upon the Officer's compliance with
the terms of this Agreement so long as he lives and payments are due under
terms of this Agreement; provided, however, in the event of a Buyout, Merger,
or Substantial Change in Ownership, continuous employment of the Officer
shall be required only until the date of the Officer's voluntary termination
or discharge without Just Cause.
B. Early Termination/Discharge. Notwithstanding paragraph A above,
the Officer or his Beneficiaries shall be entitled to payment at Retirement
Age of a portion of the benefit defined in Article 2 or Article 3 whichever
applies should he prior to Retirement Age voluntarily terminate his employment
on the date of or any date subsequent to a Buyout, Merger, or Substantial
Change in Ownership; become permanently disabled; or if he should be
discharged from employment by the Bank without Just Cause on the date of or
on any date subsequent to a Buyout, Merger, or Substantial Change in
ownership. The percentage payable shall be determined by reference to the
vesting schedule contained herein.
C. Vesting Schedule. In the event of a Buyout, Merger, or Substantial
Change in Ownership the following vesting schedule shall apply. The Officer
shall earn one year, or portion thereof, of benefit payments for each year,
or portion thereof, of service to the Bank up to a maximum of fifteen years.
In the event benefit payments are due under provisions of Article 2, the
vesting schedule shall apply to the first year's benefit first, then the
second, and continue until the Officer's vested service is exhausted. Such
service commences with the inclusion of the Officer in the Executive
Supplemental Income Plan.
ARTICLE 5. PAYMENTS TO BENEFICIARIES
For purposes of this Agreement, Beneficiaries shall mean the person or
persons designated by the Officer in writing on forms furnished by the Bank.
Such Officer may then from time to time change the designated Beneficiaries
by written notice to the Bank, and upon such change, the rights of all
previously designated Beneficiaries to receive any benefits under this
Agreement shall cease. If, at the date of death of the officer, no duly
designated Beneficiary exists, or if the officer has revoked a prior
designation by a writing filed with the Bank without having filed a new
designation, then for purposes of this Agreement, the legally recognized
Spouse of the officer living at his death shall be the beneficiary; if none,
then the Children, natural and adopted, then living; if none, then the
officer's Estate.
ARTICLE 6. FUNDING
The Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall be an unfunded and
unsecured promise to pay. The Bank shall not be obligated under any
circumstances to fund its obligations under this Agreement. The Bank may,
however, at its sole and exclusive option, elect to fund this Agreement in
whole or in part.
ARTICLE 7. OFFICER RIGHT TO ASSETS
The rights of the Officer or his Beneficiaries shall be solely those of
an unsecured general creditor of the Bank. The Officer or his Beneficiaries
shall only have the right to receive from the Bank those payments
21
as specified under this Agreement. The Officer agrees that neither he nor
his Beneficiaries shall have any rights or interests whatsoever in any asset
of the Bank. Any asset used or acquired by the Bank in connection with the
liabilities the Bank has assumed under this Agreement, except as expressly
provided, shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of
the Officer or his Beneficiaries, nor shall it be considered security for
the performance of the obligations of the Bank. It shall be, and remain, a
general, unpledged, and unrestricted asset of the Bank.
ARTICLE 8. ACCELERATION OF PAYMENT
The Bank may accelerate the payment of any benefits payable under this
Agreement with the consent of the Officer or his Beneficiaries. In the event
it is agreed to accelerate these payments, the present value of any future
payments shall be paid to the Officer or his Beneficiaries.
ARTICLE 9. LEAVES OF ABSENCE
The Bank may, in its sole discretion, permit the Officer to take a leave
of absence; each such period shall not exceed one year in length. During
such leave, the Officer shall be considered to be in the continuous
employment of the Bank for purposes of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 10. ASSIGNABILITY
Except insofar as this provision may be contrary to applicable law, no
sale, transfer, alienation, assignment, pledge, collateralization, or
attachment of any benefits under this Agreement shall be valid or recognized
by the Bank.
ARTICLE 11. AMENDMENT/REVOCATION
Prior to retirement, this Agreement may be amended, modified, or revoked
at any time, in whole or part, by the Bank except in the event of a Buyout,
Merger, or Substantial Change in Ownership. On or after a Buyout, Merger, or
Substantial Change in Ownership, mutual consent of the Officer and the Bank
shall be required to amend, modify, or revoke this Agreement.
ARTICLE 12. LAW GOVERNING/ENFORCEMENT/PARTIES
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of West
Virginia. This Agreement is solely between the Bank and the Officer.
Furthermore, the Officer or his Beneficiaries shall only have recourse
against the Bank for enforcement of the Agreement. However, it shall be
binding upon the Beneficiaries, heirs, executors and administrators of the
Officer, and upon any and all successors and assigns of the Bank.
ARTICLE 13. SEVERABILITY
In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or portion
thereof, are held to be inoperative or invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction, then: (1) insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to
the intent manifested in the provision held invalid or inoperative, and (2)
the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be
affected thereby.
ARTICLE 14. INCOMPETENCY
If the Bank shall find that any person to whom any payment is payable
under this Agreement is unable to care for their affairs because of illness
or accident, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim therefore
shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian, committee, or other legal
representative) may be paid to the Spouse, a child, a parent, a brother or
sister, or a custodian determined pursuant to the Uniform Gift to Minors Act,
or to any person deemed by the Bank to have incurred expense for such person
otherwise entitled to payment, in such manner and proportions as the Bank may
22
determine. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities
of the Bank under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 15. EXECUTION
This Agreement shall be executed in triplicate, each copy of which, when
so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all three copies shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.
In witness hereof, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed
on this 29th day of May, 1986.
