(b) At the Effective Time, Centra shall merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of Centra shall cease and Merger Sub shall survive and continue to exist as a West Virginia corporation (Merger Sub, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”). United may at any time prior to the Effective Time change the method of effecting the combination with Centra (including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article II) if and to the extent it deems such change to be necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided, that no such change shall (i) cause the approval of the stockholders of United to be required as a condition to the Merger, (ii) alter or change the amount or kind of Merger Consideration, or the relative proportions of cash and United Common Stock included therein, (iii) adversely affect the tax-free treatment of the Merger to Centra’s stockholders as a result of receiving the Merger Consideration, or (iv) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and provided further, that United shall provide Centra prior written notice of such change and the reasons therefor.

(c) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, the Merger shall become effective upon the occurrence of the filing in the office of the Secretary of State articles of merger in accordance with Section 31D-11-1106 of the WVBCA or such later date and time as may be set forth in such articles of merger. The Merger shall have the effects prescribed in the WVBCA.

The time on the Effective Date when the Merger shall become effective is referred to as the “Effective Time.”

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if United shall exercise its right to delay the Effective Date pursuant to this Section 2.02, and a record date for any dividend or other distribution in respect of the United Common Stock is taken during the period of such delay such that the Centra stockholders will not be entitled to participate in such dividend, each stockholder of Centra shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the other provisions of Article IV, a payment equal to the amount and kind of dividend or other distribution that such holder would have received had such holder been a holder of record of the shares of United Common Stock issuable to such holder in the Merger on the record date for such dividend or other distribution.

ARTICLE III

The Bank Merger

3.01 The Bank Merger. After the Effective Time, Centra Bank, the wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Centra, shall merge with and into United Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of United (the “Bank Merger”), the separate existence of Centra Bank shall cease and United Bank shall survive and continue to exist as a West Virginia banking corporation. United may at any time prior to the Effective Time, change the method of effecting the combination with Centra Bank (including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article III) if and to the extent it deems such changes necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of Merger Consideration, or the relative proportions of cash and United Common Stock included therein, (ii) adversely affect the tax-free treatment of the Merger to Centra’s stockholders as a result of receiving the Merger Consideration or (iii) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and provided, further, that United shall provide Centra with prior written notice of such change and the reasons therefore.

(a) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, the Bank Merger shall become effective upon the occurrence of the filing in the office in the Secretary of State of articles of merger in accordance with Section 31D-11-1106 of the WVBCA or such later date and time as may be set forth in such articles and the issuance of a certificate of merger by the Secretary of State under the WVBCA. The Bank Merger shall have the effects prescribed in the WVBCA.

3.02 Effective Date and Effective Time. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, it being agreed that any required consents, approvals, and authorizations from any Governmental Authorities to effect the Bank Merger shall not be a condition to the consummation of the Merger, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the effective date of the Bank Merger (the “Bank Merger Effective Date”) to occur as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date or such later date to which the parties may agree in writing.

ARTICLE IV

Consideration; Exchange Procedures

4.01 Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each holder of a share of Centra Common Stock (other than Centra and its Subsidiaries or United and its Subsidiaries and Dissenters’ Shares, in each case except for shares held by them in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted) shall receive in respect thereof, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, 0.7676 shares (“Exchange Ratio”) of United Stock (the “Merger Consideration”). All shares of Centra Preferred Stock shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time.

(b) Outstanding United Stock. Each share of United Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and unaffected by the Merger.

(c) Treasury Shares. Each share of Centra Common Stock held as Treasury Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefore.

(d) Merger Sub Shares. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and unaffected by the Merger, and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor.

4.02 Rights as Stockholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of Centra Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, stockholders of Centra, other than to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividend or other distribution with respect to such Centra Common Stock with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time, the payment, if any, in lieu of certain dividends on United Common Stock provided for in Section 2.02(b), and the consideration provided under this Article IV. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Centra or the Surviving Corporation of shares of Centra Common Stock.

4.03 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of United Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefore, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger; instead, United shall pay to each holder of Centra Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of United Common

Stock (after taking into account all Old Certificates registered in the name of such holder or Book-Entry Shares held by such holder) an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction by the average of the daily closing prices for the shares of United Common Stock for the 20 consecutive full trading days on which such shares are actually traded on the NASDAQ (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source) ending at the close of trading on the tenth trading day (the “Determination Date”) immediately preceding the Effective Date) (the “Average Closing Price”).

4.04 Exchange Procedures.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, United shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of certificates formerly representing shares of Centra Common Stock (“Old Certificates”) and holders of non-certificated shares of Centra Common Stock (“Book-Entry Shares”), for exchange in accordance with this Article IV, (i) certificates representing shares of United Common Stock or non-certificated shares of United Common Stock (collectively, “New Certificates”) and (ii) an amount of cash necessary for payments required by Section 4.03 (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund will be distributed in accordance with the Exchange Agent’s normal and customary procedures established in connection with merger transactions.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in no event later than five business days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for New Certificates, if any, that the holders of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are entitled to receive pursuant to Article IV, any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of Centra Common Stock represented by the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and any payment required pursuant to Section 2.02(b) of this Agreement. Upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) a New Certificate representing that number of whole shares of United Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Article IV, if any, (ii) a check representing the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV, and (iii) any payment required by Section 2.02(b), and the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) Neither the Exchange Agent, if any, nor any party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of Centra Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(d) No dividends or other distributions with respect to United Common Stock with a record date occurring after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any

unsurrendered Old Certificate or Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Centra Common Stock converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of such United Common Stock until the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive New Certificates in exchange therefore in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.04. After becoming so entitled in accordance with this Section 4.04, the record holder thereof also shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions by the Exchange Agent, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of United Common Stock such holder had the right to receive upon surrender of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of Centra on the business day after the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date shall be paid to United. Any stockholders of Centra who have not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to United for payment of the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions on United Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of Centra Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon.

4.05 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event United changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares of United Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Date as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding United Common Stock and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Date, or shall establish a record date prior to the Effective Date with respect to any dividend or other distribution in respect of the United Common Stock other than a cash dividend consistent with past practice, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted to provide the holders of Centra Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

4.06 Options. At the Effective Time, the holders of each outstanding option (each, a “Centra Stock Option”) to purchase shares of Centra Common Stock, whether vested or unvested as of the date of this Agreement, under any and all plans of Centra under which stock options have been granted (collectively, the “Centra Stock Plans”) shall be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the difference between the value of (a) $21.00 and (b) the exercise price (rounded to the nearest cent) for each outstanding Centra Stock Option by (2) the number of shares of Centra Common Stock subject to such Centra Stock Option (the “Stock Option Consideration”). There will be no payment by United to any holder of Centra Stock Options with an exercise price equal to or greater than $21.00 and any such Centra Stock Options shall be terminated as of the Effective Time. United shall have no obligation to make any additional grants or awards under the Centra Stock Plans.

4.07 Dissenters’ Rights. If applicable, shares of Centra Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who properly shall have demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with the WVBCA (collectively, the “Dissenters’ Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders instead shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of the WVBCA, except that all Dissenters’ Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively

shall have withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights to appraisal of such shares under the WVBCA shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration upon surrender in the manner provided in Section 4.04 of the Old Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, evidenced such shares.

(x) Neither United nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any agreement, taken any action, or omitted to take any action, with respect to or as part of any United Compensation and Benefit Plan that is an operational failure under Section 409A of the Code or that would reasonably be expected to subject United or any of its Subsidiaries to any obligation to report any amount or withhold any amount as includable in income and subject to tax, interest or any penalty by any service provider to United or any of its Subsidiaries under Section 409A of the Code or to pay any reimbursement or other payment to any service provider, as defined under Section 409A of the Code, respecting any such tax, interest or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

Covenants

7.01 Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Centra and United agrees to use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable laws, so as to permit consummation of the Merger as promptly as practicable and otherwise to enable consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall cooperate fully with the other party hereto to that end.

7.02 Stockholder Approvals. Centra agrees to take, in accordance with applicable law and the Centra Certificate and Centra By-laws, all action necessary to convene an appropriate meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon the approval of this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved by Centra’s stockholders for consummation of the Merger (including any adjournment or postponement, the “Centra Meeting”), as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective. The Centra Board will recommend that the Centra stockholders approve and adopt the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that the Centra Board may fail to make such recommendation, or withdraw, modify or change any such recommendation, if the Centra Board, after having consulted with and considered the advice of outside counsel, has determined that the making of such

recommendation, or the failure to withdraw, modify or change such recommendation, would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the members of the Centra Board under applicable law.

7.03 Registration Statement.

(a) United agrees to prepare a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by United with the SEC in connection with the issuance of United Common Stock in the Merger (including the prospectus of United and proxy solicitation materials of Centra constituting a part thereof (the “Proxy Statement”) and all related documents). Centra and United agree to cooperate, and to cause their respective Subsidiaries to cooperate, with the other and its counsel and its accountants in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement. United agrees to file the Registration Statement (including the Proxy Statement in preliminary form) with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within 90 days from the date of this Agreement. Each of Centra and United agrees to use all reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing thereof. United also agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of United and Centra agrees to furnish to the other party all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable or as may be reasonably requested in connection with the Registration Statement, Proxy Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of United, Centra or their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Centra shall have the right to review and consult with United and approve the form of, and any characterization of such information included in, the Registration Statement prior to its being filed with the SEC.

(b) Each of Centra and United agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, 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 and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to stockholders and at the time of the Centra Meeting, as the case may be, 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 or any statement which, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made, will be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or which will omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not false or misleading or necessary to correct any statement in any earlier statement in the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto. Each of Centra and United further agrees that if it shall become aware prior to the Effective Date of any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Proxy Statement.

(c) United agrees to advise Centra, promptly after United receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of United Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or for additional information.

7.04 Press Releases. Each of Centra and United agrees that it will not, without the prior approval of the other party, file any material pursuant to SEC Rules 165 or 425, or issue any press release or written statement for general circulation relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation or NASDAQ rules.

7.05 Access; Information.

(a) Each of Centra and United agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, it shall afford the other party and the other party’s officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, such access during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to the books, records (including, without limitation, tax returns and work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and to such other information as any party may reasonably request and, during such period, it shall furnish promptly to such other party (i) a copy of each material report, schedule and other document filed by it pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws, and (ii) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of it as the other may reasonably request. Neither United or its Subsidiaries nor Centra or its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of United, Centra or their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or contravene any applicable law or regulation or binding contract, agreement or arrangement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement; and in any such event, the parties will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements.

(b) Each agrees that it will not, and will cause its representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.05 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of law, each party will keep confidential, and will cause its representatives to keep confidential, all information and documents obtained pursuant to this Section 7.05 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) unless such information (i) was already known to such party, (ii) becomes available to such party from other sources not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality obligation, (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the party to which such information pertains or (iv) is or becomes readily ascertainable from published information or trade sources. In the event that this Agreement is terminated or the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall otherwise fail to be consummated, each party shall promptly cause all copies of documents or extracts thereof containing information and data as to another party hereto to be returned to the party that furnished the same. No investigation by either party of the business and affairs of the other shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or the conditions to either party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, each party shall promptly furnish the other with copies of all monthly and other interim financial statements produced in the ordinary course of business as the same shall become available.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.05 are in addition to, and not in lieu of that certain letter agreement dated October 5, 2010, between United and Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc, the terms of which are hereby specifically confirmed.

7.06 Acquisition Proposals. Centra agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, agents, advisors and affiliates not 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. It shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with any parties other than United 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. Centra will inform United promptly of all relevant details of any inquiries or contacts by third parties relating to the possible disposition of the business or the capital stock of Centra or any merger, change or control or other business combination involving Centra. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time the Centra Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, Centra, in response to a written Acquisition Proposal that was unsolicited after the date of this Agreement or that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 7.06, may furnish non-public information with respect to Centra to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal and participate in negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

7.07 Takeover Laws. No party hereto shall take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Law and each of them shall take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect.

7.08 Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). United and Centra agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain certain directors and officers of Centra in connection with the Merger, both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that the directors and officers of Centra not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and for that compensatory and retentive purposes agree to the provisions of this Section 7.08. The Centra Board, or a committee of “Non-Employee Directors” (as such term is

defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act) thereof, shall adopt a resolution providing that the disposition by the directors and officers of Centra Common Stock and Centra Stock Options, in each case pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, are intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act.

7.09 Regulatory Applications.

(a) United and Centra and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare all documentation, to effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve objections, if any, which may be asserted with respect to the Merger under any applicable law, regulation or decree, including agreeing to divest any assets, deposits, lines of business or branches; provided, that United shall not be required to agree to any condition or take any action if such agreements or the taking of such action is reasonably likely to result in a condition or restriction having an effect of the type referred to in Section 8.01(b). Each of United and Centra shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to, all material written information submitted to any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party hereto agrees that it will consult with the other party hereto with respect to the obtaining of all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including advising the other party upon receiving any communication from a Governmental Authority the consent or approval of which is required for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any required consent or approval from a Governmental Authority will not be obtained or that the receipt of such consent or approval may be materially delayed (a “Regulatory Communication”). Upon the receipt of a Regulatory Communication, without limiting the scope of the foregoing paragraphs, United shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law (i) promptly advise Centra of the receipt of any substantive communication from a Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) provide Centra with a reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of any response thereto and the preparation of any other substantive submission or communication to any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and to review any such response, submission or communication prior to the filing or submission thereof, and (iii) provide Centra with the opportunity to participate in any meetings or substantive telephone conversations that United or its Subsidiaries or their respective representatives may have from time to time with any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each party agrees, upon request, to furnish the other party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its Subsidiaries to any third party or Governmental Authority.

7.10 Indemnification.

(a) Following the Effective Date and for a period of six years thereafter, United shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present directors, officers and employees of Centra and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) 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 the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time to the fullest extent that Centra is permitted or required to indemnify (and advance expenses to) its directors and officers under the laws of the State of West Virginia, the Centra Certificate, the Centra By-Laws 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, the Centra Certificate, the Centra By-Laws and any agreement shall be made by independent counsel (which shall not be counsel that provides material services to United) selected by United and reasonably acceptable to such officer or director. United shall comply with any indemnification agreements between Centra or its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and their respective directors and officers on the other hand; provided, however, that each of Centra and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, agrees to exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain amendments to each indemnification agreement applicable to it prior to the Effective Date so that terms of any such agreement aligns with the time periods set forth in this Section 7.10.

(b) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, United shall (i) maintain in effect (A) the current provisions regarding indemnification of and the advancement of expenses to Indemnified Parties contained in the Centra Certificate and Centra By-Laws (or comparable organizational documents) of each of Centra and its Subsidiaries and (B) any indemnification agreements of Centra and its Subsidiaries with or for the benefit of any Indemnified Parties existing on the date hereof, and (ii) indemnify the Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. For purposes of the foregoing: (i) in the event any claim is asserted within the six year period during which Centra and its Subsidiaries, (A) all such rights in respect of any such claim shall continue until disposition thereof and (B) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to advancement of expenses within five business days following receipt of any such claim involving such Indemnified Party; and (ii) any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnified Party’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under WVBCA, the Centra Certificate or Centra By-Laws or any such agreement, as the case may be, for purposes of the allowance of indemnification or advancement of expenses, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by such Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to United. The fees and expenses of such independent legal counsel shall be paid for by United.

(c) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, United shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide that portion of director’s and officer’s liability insurance that

serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of Centra or any of its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) (as opposed to Centra) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events which 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 Centra; provided, that in no event shall United be required to expend more than 150% of the current amount expended by Centra (the “Insurance Amount”) to maintain or procure such directors and officers insurance coverage; provided, further, that if United is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 7.10(b), United shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Insurance Amount; provided, further, that officers and directors of Centra or any Subsidiary may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to United’s insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance.

(d) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 7.10(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly notify United thereof; provided that the failure so to notify shall not affect the obligations of United under Section 7.10(a) unless and to the extent that United is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(e) If United 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 United shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.10.

(f) The provisions of this Section 7.10, (i) 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, and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by agreement or otherwise.

7.11 Benefit Plans.

(a) It is the intention of United that at and following the Effective Time (i) it will provide employees of Centra with employee benefit plans substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of United, except with respect to the United Pension Plan, (ii) United 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) all Centra employees will receive credit for years of service with Centra and its predecessors prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not for purposes of benefit accrual other than accrual for vacation or paid time off in the then current calendar year; provided, that, in accordance with United’s policies, no vacation or paid time off shall be thereafter carried over into a subsequent calendar year) under United’s benefit plans, except with respect to the United Pension Plan. All Centra employees and their eligible dependents will receive credit for co-payments, deductibles

and out-of-pocket maximums satisfied by employees and dependents under the Compensation and Benefit Plans. United shall maintain Centra’s existing employee benefit plans until such time as United has provided similar plans to Centra’s employees as contemplated in the preceding sentence. Centra employees shall not be entitled to accrual of benefits or allocation of contributions under United’s benefit plans based on years of service with Centra and its predecessors prior to the Effective Date, except with respect to any vacation or paid time off accrual.

(b) United agrees that each Centra employee who is involuntarily terminated by United (other than for cause) within six months of the Effective Date, shall receive a severance payment equal to two weeks of base pay (at the rate in effect on the termination date) for each year of service at Centra (with credit for partial years of service) with a maximum payment equal to 20 weeks of base pay.

(c) Centra shall use reasonable efforts to take such action as may be necessary to terminate its 401(k) plan, including the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS relating to the termination of the 401(k) plan. In the event a favorable ruling is not issued, Centra agrees that termination of the 401(k) plan shall not occur and the 401(k) plan shall not be merged with United’s 401(k) plan.

7.12 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of Centra and United shall give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (i) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it or (ii) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.

7.13 Directors and Officers.

(a) United agrees to cause two individuals from Centra to be appointed as directors of United at the Effective Time. The individuals shall be chosen by Centra, subject to consent by United, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

During the five-day period commencing with its receipt of such notice, United shall have the option to increase the consideration to be received by the holders of Centra Common Stock hereunder, by adjusting the Exchange Ratio (calculated to the nearest one one-thousandth) to equal the lesser of (x) a number (rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Starting Price, 0.80 and the Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the Average Closing Price and (y) a number (rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Index Ratio and the Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the United Ratio. If United so elects within such five-day period, it shall give prompt written notice to Centra of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have occurred pursuant to this Section 9.01(i) and this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms (except as the Exchange Ratio shall have been so modified.)

For purposes of this Section 9.01(i), the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

“Final Index Price” shall mean the average of the Index Prices for the 20 consecutive full trading days ending on the trading day prior to the Determination Date.

“Index Group” shall mean the NASDAQ Bank Index.

“Index Price” shall mean the closing price on such date of the Index Group.

“Starting Date” shall mean the last trading day immediately preceding the date of the first public announcement of entry into this Agreement.

“Starting Price” shall mean the closing price of a share of United Common Stock on the NASDAQ (as reported in The Wall Street Journal, or if not reported therein, in another authoritative source) on the Starting Date.

9.02 Effect of Termination and Abandonment. In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to this Article IX, no party to this Agreement shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party hereunder except (i) as set forth in Section 9.03, (ii) that termination will not relieve a breaching party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement giving rise to such termination, and (iii) Sections 7.03(b), 7.05(b), 9.02, 9.03, 10.05, 10.06, 10.07, 10.08, 10.09 and 10.10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

9.03 Fees and Expenses.

(a) In the event that, (i) this Agreement shall be terminated by Centra pursuant to Section 9.01(h), then Centra shall pay United promptly (but in no event later than two business days after the date of termination of this Agreement by Centra) a fee of $7,500,000 (the “Fee”), which amount shall be payable in immediately available funds or (ii) this Agreement is terminated by United pursuant to Section 9.01(g), and prior to that date that is 12 months after such termination, Centra or any of its Subsidiaries enters into any Acquisition Agreement or any Acquisition Proposal is consummated (regardless of whether such Acquisition Proposal is consummated before or after termination of this Agreement), then Centra shall pay United the Fee on the earlier of such date of execution or consummation, which amount shall be payable in immediately available funds. For the purposes of this Section, “Acquisition Agreement” shall mean any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, or other similar agreement constituting or related to, or which is intended to or would be reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning set forth in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” in Section 1.01 except that the references to “24.99%” shall be deemed to be references to “51%.” In no event shall Centra be required to pay the Fee on more than one occasion.

(b) In the event that Centra shall fail to pay the Fee when due, then Centra shall pay the Fee plus the costs and expenses actually incurred by United (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection of the Fee under the enforcement of this Section 9.03, together with interest on such unpaid Fee and costs and expenses, commencing on the date that the Fee became due, at a rate equal to the rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank, N.A., from time to time, in the City of New York, as such bank’s Base Rate plus 2.00%.
