6

 

In the event that there is a finding of any qualified period of disability for the

an amount equal to the accrued liability retirement account established on the Executive’s
behalf pursuant to this Agreement. No other benefits will be owed to the Executive under
this Agreement during the period of disability.

An Executive is considered disabled if he or she is: [1] unable to engage in any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental
impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months; or [2] by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can
be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving
income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an
accident and health plan covering the Executive of the Bank. If there is a dispute
regarding whether the Executive is disabled, such dispute shall be resolved by a physician
mutually selected by the Bank and the Executive and such resolution shall be binding upon
all parties to this Agreement.

If the Executive is under a Period of Disability on the date the Executive reaches Normal
Retirement Age (Subparagraph IV [B]), this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the
Executive shall not be entitled to any further benefits under this Agreement.

If the Period of Disability ends prior to Normal Retirement Age and the Executive returns
to active employment with the Bank, the Bank will pay the Executive a reduced retirement
benefit amount from the balance of the accrued liability retirement account. The retirement
benefit amount shall be reduced by the ten (10) year annual annuity that would be payable from
the Trust assuming the trust assets earned on a net of four percent (4%) annually starting from
the date of the existence of said Trust.

	XI.	 	CHANGE OF CONTROL

If the Executive subsequently suffers a Termination of Employment (voluntarily or
involuntarily), except for cause, anytime subsequent to a Change of Control as defined in
Subparagraph IV (G), then the Executive shall receive the benefits in Paragraph V herein
upon attaining Normal Retirement Age (Subparagraph IV [B]), as if the Executive had been
continuously employed by the Bank until the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age.

	XII.	 	RESTRICTIONS ON FUNDING

The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money with
which to pay its obligations under this Executive Plan. The Executive, their
beneficiary(ies), or any successor in interest shall be and remain

7

 

simply a general creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any other creditor having a general claim for
matured and unpaid compensation.

The Bank reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to either fund the
obligations undertaken by this Executive Plan or to refrain from funding the same and to
determine the extent, nature and method of such funding. Should the Bank elect to fund
this Executive Plan, in whole or in part, through the purchase of life insurance, mutual
funds, disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate such funding at any time, in whole or in part. At no time shall
any Executive be deemed to have any lien, right, title or interest in any specific funding
investment or assets of the Bank.

If the Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy on the life
of the Executive, then the Executive shall assist the Bank by freely submitting to a
physical exam and supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance
or annuities.

Neither the Executive, nor the Executive’s surviving spouse, nor any other
beneficiary(ies) under this Executive Plan shall have any power or right to
transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate, mortgage, commute, modify or otherwise

benefits be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or
separate maintenance owed by the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiary(ies), nor
be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or
otherwise. In the event the Executive or any beneficiary attempts assignment,
commutation, hypothecation, transfer or disposal of the benefits hereunder, the
Bank’s liabilities shall forthwith cease and terminate.

covenant, or condition invalid, void, or unenforceable, and the Executive Plan
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such partial invalidity.

	 	I.	 	Not a Contract of Employment:

This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between

9

 

	 	A.	 	Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator:

The Named Fiduciary may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and
operation responsibilities of the Executive Plan including the employment of
advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.

	 	B.	 	Claims Procedure:

In the event a dispute arises over benefits under this Executive Plan and benefits
are not paid to the Executive (or to the Executive’s beneficiary(ies) in the case
of the Executive’s death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such
benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Named Fiduciary and Plan
Administrator named above within sixty (60) days from the date payments are
refused. The Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator shall review the written claim
and if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, they shall provide in writing
within sixty (60) days of receipt of such claim the specific reasons for such
denial, reference to the provisions of this Executive Plan upon which the denial is
based and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim.
Such written notice shall further indicate the additional steps to be taken by
claimants if a further review of the claim denial is desired. A claim shall be
deemed denied if the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator fail to take any action
within the aforesaid sixty (60) day period.

If claimants desire a second review they shall notify the Named Fiduciary and Plan
Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days of the first claim denial.
Claimants may review this Executive Plan or any documents relating thereto and
submit any written issues and comments it may feel appropriate. In their sole
discretion, the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator shall then review the second
claim and provide a written decision within sixty (60) days of receipt of such
claim. This decision shall likewise state the specific reasons for the decision
and shall include reference to specific provisions of the Plan Agreement upon which the decision is
based.

	 	C.	 	Arbitration:

If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed
performance of this Executive Plan or the meaning and effect of the terms and
conditions thereof, then claimants may submit the dispute to an Arbitrator for
final arbitration. The Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual

10

 

agreement of the Bank and the claimants. The Arbitrator shall operate under any generally
recognized set of arbitration rules. The parties hereto agree that they and their
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns shall be bound by the
decision of such Arbitrator with respect to any controversy properly submitted to
it for determination.

Where a dispute arises as to the Bank’s discharge of the Executive “for cause,”
such dispute shall likewise be submitted to arbitration as above described and the
parties hereto agree to be bound by the decision thereunder.

	XV.	 	TERMINATION OR MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT BY REASON OF CHANGES IN THE LAW, RULES OR REGULATIONS

The Bank is entering into this Agreement upon the assumption that certain existing tax
laws, rules and regulations will continue in effect in their current form. If any said
assumptions should change and said change has a detrimental effect on this Executive Plan,
then the Bank reserves the right to terminate or modify this Agreement accordingly. Upon a

	X.	 	DISABILITY

6

 

In the event that there is a finding of any qualified period of disability for the
Executive, the Bank will deposit into the Contingent Disability Trust (hereinafter “Trust”)
an amount equal to the accrued liability retirement account established on the Executive’s
behalf pursuant to this Agreement. No other benefits will be owed to the Executive under
this Agreement during the period of disability.

An Executive is considered disabled if he or she is: [1] unable to engage in any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental
impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months; or [2] by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can
be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving
income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an
accident and health plan covering the Executive of the Bank. If there is a dispute
regarding whether the Executive is disabled, such dispute shall be resolved by a physician
mutually selected by the Bank and the Executive and such resolution shall be binding upon
all parties to this Agreement.

If the Executive is under a Period of Disability on the date the Executive reaches Normal
Retirement Age (Subparagraph IV [B]), this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the
Executive shall not be entitled to any further benefits under this Agreement.

If the Period of Disability ends prior to Normal Retirement Age and the Executive returns
to active employment with the Bank, the Bank will pay the Executive a reduced retirement
benefit amount from the balance of the accrued liability retirement account. The retirement
benefit amount shall be reduced by the ten (10) year annual annuity that would be payable from
the Trust assuming the trust assets earned on a net of four percent (4%) annually starting from
the date of the existence of said Trust.

	XI.	 	CHANGE OF CONTROL

If the Executive subsequently suffers a Termination of Employment (voluntarily or
involuntarily), except for cause, anytime subsequent to a Change of Control as defined in
Subparagraph IV (G), then the Executive shall receive the benefits in Paragraph V herein
upon attaining Normal Retirement Age (Subparagraph IV [B]), as if the Executive had been
continuously employed by the Bank until the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age.

	XII.	 	RESTRICTIONS ON FUNDING

The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money with
which to pay its obligations under this Executive Plan. The Executive, their
beneficiary(ies), or any successor in interest shall be and remain

7

 

simply a general creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any other creditor having a general claim for
matured and unpaid compensation.

The Bank reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to either fund the
obligations undertaken by this Executive Plan or to refrain from funding the same and to
determine the extent, nature and method of such funding. Should the Bank elect to fund
this Executive Plan, in whole or in part, through the purchase of life insurance, mutual
funds, disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate such funding at any time, in whole or in part. At no time shall
any Executive be deemed to have any lien, right, title or interest in any specific funding
investment or assets of the Bank.

If the Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy on the life
of the Executive, then the Executive shall assist the Bank by freely submitting to a
physical exam and supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance
or annuities.

	XIII.	 	MISCELLANEOUS

	 	A.	 	Alienability and Assignment Prohibition:

Neither the Executive, nor the Executive’s surviving spouse, nor any other
beneficiary(ies) under this Executive Plan shall have any power or right to
transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate, mortgage, commute, modify or otherwise
encumber in advance any of the benefits payable hereunder nor shall any of said
benefits be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or
separate maintenance owed by the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiary(ies), nor
be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or
otherwise. In the event the Executive or any beneficiary attempts assignment,
commutation, hypothecation, transfer or disposal of the benefits hereunder, the
Bank’s liabilities shall forthwith cease and terminate.

	 	B.	 	Binding Obligation of the Bank and any Successor in Interest:

The Bank shall not merge or consolidate into or with another bank or sell
substantially all of its assets to another bank, firm or person until such bank,
firm or person expressly agree, in writing, to assume and discharge the duties and
obligations of the Bank under this Executive Plan. This Executive Plan shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their successors, beneficiaries, heirs and personal representatives.

	 	C.	 	Amendment or Revocation:

Subject to Paragraph XV, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto that,
during the lifetime of the Executive, this Executive Plan may be

8

 

amended or revoked at any time or times, in whole or in part, by the mutual written consent of the
Executive and the Bank.

	 	D.	 	Gender:

Whenever in this Executive Plan words are used in the masculine or neuter gender,
they shall be read and construed as in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender,
whenever they should so apply.

	 	E.	 	Effect on Other Bank Benefit Plans:

Nothing contained in this Executive Plan shall affect the right of the Executive to
participate in or be covered by any qualified or non-qualified pension,
profit-sharing, group, bonus or other supplemental compensation or fringe benefit
plan constituting a part of the Bank’s existing or future compensation structure.

	 	F.	 	Headings:

Headings and subheadings in this Executive Plan are inserted for reference and
convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Executive Plan.

	 	G.	 	Applicable Law:

The laws of the State of West Virginia shall govern the validity and interpretation
of this Agreement.

	 	H.	 	Partial Invalidity:

If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Executive Plan is determined
by an arbitrator or a court, as the case may be, to be invalid, void, or
unenforceable, such determination shall not render any other term, provision,
covenant, or condition invalid, void, or unenforceable, and the Executive Plan
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such partial invalidity.

	 	I.	 	Not a Contract of Employment:

This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between
the parties hereto, nor shall any provision hereof restrict the right of the Bank
to discharge the Executive, or restrict the right of the Executive to terminate
employment.

	XIV.	 	ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLAIMS PROVISION

9

 

	 	A.	 	Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator:

The “Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator” of this Executive Plan shall be Centra
Bank, Inc. As Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator, the Bank shall be responsible
for the management, control and administration of the Executive Plan. The Named
Fiduciary may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operation
responsibilities of the Executive Plan including the employment of advisors and the
delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.

	 	B.	 	Claims Procedure:

In the event a dispute arises over benefits under this Executive Plan and benefits
are not paid to the Executive (or to the Executive’s beneficiary(ies) in the case
of the Executive’s death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such
benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Named Fiduciary and Plan
Administrator named above within sixty (60) days from the date payments are
refused. The Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator shall review the written claim
and if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, they shall provide in writing
within sixty (60) days of receipt of such claim the specific reasons for such
denial, reference to the provisions of this Executive Plan upon which the denial is
based and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim.
Such written notice shall further indicate the additional steps to be taken by
claimants if a further review of the claim denial is desired. A claim shall be
deemed denied if the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator fail to take any action
within the aforesaid sixty (60) day period.

If claimants desire a second review they shall notify the Named Fiduciary and Plan
Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days of the first claim denial.
Claimants may review this Executive Plan or any documents relating thereto and
submit any written issues and comments it may feel appropriate. In their sole
discretion, the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator shall then review the second
claim and provide a written decision within sixty (60) days of receipt of such
claim. This decision shall likewise state the specific reasons for the decision
and shall include reference to specific provisions of the Plan Agreement upon which the decision is
based.

	 	C.	 	Arbitration:

If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed
performance of this Executive Plan or the meaning and effect of the terms and
conditions thereof, then claimants may submit the dispute to an

10

 

Arbitrator for final arbitration. The Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the
Bank and the claimants. The Arbitrator shall operate under any generally
recognized set of arbitration rules. The parties hereto agree that they and their
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns shall be bound by the
decision of such Arbitrator with respect to any controversy properly submitted to
it for determination.

Where a dispute arises as to the Bank’s discharge of the Executive “for cause,”
such dispute shall likewise be submitted to arbitration as above described and the
parties hereto agree to be bound by the decision thereunder.

	XV.	 	TERMINATION OR MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT BY REASON OF CHANGES IN THE LAW, RULES OR REGULATIONS

The Bank is entering into this Agreement upon the assumption that certain existing tax
laws, rules and regulations will continue in effect in their current form. If any said
assumptions should change and said change has a detrimental effect on this Executive Plan,
then the Bank reserves the right to terminate or modify this Agreement accordingly. Upon a
Change of Control (Subparagraph IV [G]), this paragraph shall become null and void
effective immediately upon said Change of Control.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto acknowledge that each has carefully read this Agreement
and executed the original thereof on the first day set forth hereinabove, and that, upon execution,
each has received a conforming copy.
