if such death occurs within six months of the normal retirement date as provided by the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan, or after such normal retirement date, so that a pension distribution or benefit is payable to the surviving spouse of
Employee, such payment shall be reduced to an amount equal to one month of the base salary at his then current base rate.

if any, as shall have been agreed upon by Bank and Employee.

 10. ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING;
AMENDMENT. Upon consummation of the Merger and subject to the provisions of that certain Employment Agreement dated as of January 1, 2004, which the parties agree shall be terminated upon the effective date of the Merger by payment of the
amounts due thereunder, this Agreement supersedes all previous agreements between Employee and Bank and contains the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and cannot be amended, modified,
or supplemented in any respect except by a subsequent written agreement executed by both parties. 
  
 11. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of West Virginia. 

 
 12. CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF WESBANCO. While the parties
acknowledge that certain provisions of this Agreement may be unenforceable in some respects against the Bank, pursuant to applicable banking law, it is nonetheless the intention of the parties to create pursuant to this Agreement a valid employment
for a definite term with specified benefits. As an inducement for Employee and Bank to enter into this Agreement whereby Employee would be employed by Bank for a definite term, Wesbanco hereby undertakes the independent, separate and unconditional
obligation to Employee to pay all amounts which are or may become due to Employee under this Agreement as set forth herein, regardless of the status of the direct or indirect enforceability or validity of Bank’s obligation to pay any or all
such amounts as may be due hereunder to Employee; provided, however, that for purposes of this Paragraph 12, Wesbanco shall be obligated to the Employee for any bonuses or any increases in base salary in excess of the rate of Two Hundred
Seventeen Thousand Two Hundred Sixty and 16/100 Dollars 
  

 6 








 ($217,260.16) per annum only to the extent that it has consented to such bonuses or increases. Wesbanco also
acknowledges that it may or may not be entitled to indemnification or contribution from Bank or to be subrogated to the claim of Employee hereunder for any payments Wesbanco may make to Employee; and Wesbanco hereby specifically waives any rights it
may otherwise have to indemnification or contribution from Bank or to be subrogated to the claim of Employee hereunder in the event that such payments as are made by Wesbanco would be unenforceable or invalid for any reason against Bank. 

 
 13. MISCELLANEOUS. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
term or provision of this Agreement as against any one or more parties hereto, shall not impair or effect the other provisions hereof or the enforceability of said term or provision against the other parties hereto, and notwithstanding any such
invalidity or unenforceability, each term or provision hereof shall remain in full force and effect to the full extent consistent with law. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Bank and Wesbanco have caused these presents to be signed and their corporate seals to be hereto affixed, and Employee has
hereto affixed his signature and seal, at Cincinnati, Ohio, as of the day and year first above written.
