with, in the capacity of employee, director, officer, principal, agent, trustee or in any other capacity whatsoever, any Competitive Enterprise; or (b) becomes interested in, directly or indirectly, as a proprietor, partner, officer, director,

hereunder (or all corporations liable for the payment if more than one corporation is liable) but only if either the deferred compensation is attributable to the performance of service by the Executive for Company or such corporation (or
corporations) or there is a bona fide business purpose for Company or such corporation or corporations to be liable for such payment and, in either case, no significant purpose of making Company or such corporation or corporations liable for such
payment is the avoidance of Federal Income tax; or (iii) a corporation that is a majority shareholder of a corporation identified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Subsection, or any corporation in a chain of corporations in which each
corporation is a majority shareholder of another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in

Employment, and (ii) is conducted within a 50-mile radius of any Company location where Executive conducted or supervised or otherwise engaged in business of the Company. 

(c)      Executive understands that the Company has
legitimate business interests it wishes to protect without unreasonably restricting Executive’s ability to seek or obtain employment after his employment with the Company ends for any reason. Executive understands that the damages the Company
will suffer as a result of Executive’s breach of this Section 5.3 of the Agreement are impossible to reasonably calculate and may cause irreparable harm to the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Company
from seeking any form of injunctive relief to enforce any provision of this Agreement. 

(d)        “Good Reason” means there is:
(i) a decrease in the total amount of the Executive’s base salary, without the Executive’s consent; or (ii) a material reduction in the importance of the Executive’s job responsibilities, without the Executive’s
consent; or (iii) a geographical relocation of the Executive to an office more than 50 miles from the Executive’s office location immediately prior to such relocation, without the Executive’s consent. 

6.        Effective January 1, 2018, Article 6 shall be amended and supplemented
by adding the following Section 6.2.6 to read in full as follows: 
 6.2.6  Medical
Determination of Disability. Effective January 1, 2018, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6, or any other provision of this Agreement, the medical determination of Disability under this Agreement shall be made solely and
exclusively in the following manner: by the Company’s provider of long-term disability benefits, or, if the Company does not provide long-term disability benefits or Executive is not otherwise eligible to participate in such benefit plan, by
the Social Security Administration.

 7.          The right to
further amendment is retained by the Company and the Executive. 
 This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, which taken together shall constitute an original. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Second Amendment to the
2008 Amended and Restated United Bankshares, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement has been duly signed by an authorized officer of Company and individually by Executive, respectively, all as of the date first above written.
