Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IX, prior to the Effective Time, CB may revise the structure for effecting the Merger described in Section 2.1 or the Bank Merger including, without limitation, by substituting a wholly owned subsidiary for CB or Community Bank, as applicable, provided that: (i) any such subsidiary shall become a party to, and shall agree to be bound by, the terms of this Agreement; (ii) such modification shall not adversely affect the federal income tax consequences of the Merger to CB, Community Bank, First West Virginia, Progressive Bank or to the holders of First West Virginia Common Stock or prevent the rendering of the opinions contemplated in Sections 9.2.4 and 9.3.4; (iii) the consideration to be paid to the holders of First West Virginia Common Stock under this Agreement is not thereby changed in kind or value or reduced in amount; and (iv) such modification will not delay materially or jeopardize receipt of any Regulatory Approvals or other consents and approvals relating to the consummation of the Merger or otherwise materially impede or delay consummation of the Merger or cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article IX not to be capable of being fulfilled. The parties hereto agree to appropriately amend this Agreement and any related documents to reflect any such revised structure.

ARTICLE III
CONVERSION OF SHARES

3.1 Conversion of First West Virginia Common Stock; Merger Consideration.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of CB, First West Virginia or the holders of any of the shares of First West Virginia Common Stock, the Merger shall be effected in accordance with the following terms:

3.1.1 Each share of CB Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

3.1.2 All shares of First West Virginia Common Stock held in the treasury of First West Virginia and each share of First West Virginia Common Stock owned by CB prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in connection with debts previously contracted) (“Treasury Stock”) shall, at the Effective Time, cease to exist, and such shares, including any Certificates therefor, shall be canceled as promptly as practicable thereafter, and no payment or distribution shall be made in consideration therefor.

3.1.3 Each outstanding share of First West Virginia Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive CB Common Stock has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 3.2.3 (a “Stock Election”), shall be converted into the right to receive 0.9583 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of CB Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.1.8 and to the provisions of Section 3.2 (the “Stock Consideration”) (collectively, the “Stock Election Shares”).

3.1.4 Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, each outstanding share of First West Virginia Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 3.2.3 (a “Cash Election”), shall be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, equal to $28.50 (the “Cash Consideration”) (collectively, the “Cash Election Shares”).

3.1.5 Each outstanding share of First West Virginia Common Stock other than as to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 3.2.3 (collectively, “Non-Election Shares”), shall be converted into the right to receive such Stock Consideration and/or Cash Consideration as shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.2.

3.1.6 Except as set forth in Section 3.1.7, upon the Effective Time, outstanding shares of First West Virginia Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter by operation of this Section 3.1 represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto or any dividends or distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that were declared or made by First West Virginia on such shares of First West Virginia Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Effective Time and that remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

3.1.7 Each outstanding share of First West Virginia Common Stock, the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under the WVBCA and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration hereunder and shall be entitled only to such rights as are available to such holder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the WVBCA. Each holder of a Dissenting Share shall be entitled to receive the value of such Dissenting Share held by him in accordance with the applicable provisions of the WVBCA; provided, that such holder complies with the procedures contemplated by and set forth in the applicable provisions of the WVBCA. If any holder of any Dissenting Share shall effectively withdraw or lose such holder’s dissenter’s rights under the applicable provisions of the WVBCA, each such Dissenting Share shall be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

3.1.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of CB Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to CB Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share interests, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of CB. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, CB shall pay to each former holder of First West Virginia Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of CB Common Stock, an amount in cash, rounded to the nearest cent and without interest, equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a share to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled and (ii) the average price of a share of CB Common Stock for the fifteen (15) trading days ending on the third Business Day prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of determining any fractional share interest, all shares of First West Virginia Common Stock owned by a First West Virginia stockholder shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of CB Common Stock issuable to such First West Virginia stockholder.

3.1.9 If CB changes (or the CB Board sets a related record date that will occur before the Effective Time for a change in) the number or kind of shares of CB Common Stock outstanding by way of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration (and any other dependent items) will be adjusted proportionately to account for such change. If First West Virginia changes (or the First West Virginia Board sets a related record date that will occur before the Effective Time for a change in) the number or kind of shares of First West Virginia Common Stock (or Rights thereto) outstanding by way of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration (and any other dependent items) will be adjusted proportionately to account for such change.

3.2 Election and Proration Procedures.

3.2.1 Holders of record of First West Virginia Common Stock may elect to receive shares of CB Common Stock or cash in exchange for their shares of First West Virginia Common Stock. The total number of shares of First West Virginia Common Stock to be converted into Stock Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.2.1 shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of First West Virginia Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) 0.80 (the “Stock Conversion Number”). All other shares of First West Virginia Common Stock shall be converted into Cash Consideration.

3.2.2 An election form and other appropriate customary transmittal material in such form as CB and First West Virginia shall mutually agree (“Election Form”) will be mailed no more than forty (40) Business Days and no less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Election Deadline or on such earlier date as CB and First West Virginia shall mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of First West Virginia Common Stock permitting such holder, subject to the allocation and election procedures set forth in this Section 3.2, (i) to specify the number of shares of First West Virginia Common Stock owned by such holder with respect to which such holder desires to make a Cash Election in accordance with the provision of Section 3.1.4, (ii) to specify the number of shares of First West Virginia Common Stock owned by such holder with respect to which such holder desires to make a Stock Election in accordance with the provision of Section 3.1.3, or (iii) to indicate that such record holder has no preference as to the receipt of cash or CB Common Stock for such shares. Holders of record of shares of First West Virginia Common Stock who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities (a “Representative”) may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that each such Election Form covers all the shares of First West Virginia Common Stock held by each Representative for a particular beneficial owner. Any shares of First West Virginia Common Stock with respect to which the holder thereof shall not, as of the Election Deadline (as defined in Section 3.2.3), have made an election by submission to the Exchange Agent of an effective, properly completed Election Form shall be deemed Non-Election Shares. Any Dissenting Shares shall be deemed shares subject to a Cash Election, and with respect to such shares the holders thereof shall in no event receive consideration comprised of CB Common Stock. CB shall make available one or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested in writing from time to time by all Persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of First West Virginia Common Stock between the record date for the initial mailing of Election Forms and the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline (as defined in Section 3.2.3), and First West Virginia shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.

3.2.3 The term “Election Deadline,” as used below, shall mean 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the later of (i) the date of the First West Virginia Stockholders Meeting and (ii) the date that CB and First West Virginia shall agree is as near as practicable to five (5) Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date, or such other time and date as CB and First West Virginia may mutually agree. An election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form to the Exchange Agent by written notice to the Exchange Agent only if such notice of revocation or change is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. The Certificate or Certificates relating to any revoked Election Form shall be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Election Form to the Exchange Agent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither CB nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

3.2.4 No later than five (5) Business Days after the later to occur of the Election Deadline or the Effective Time, CB shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of First West Virginia Common Stock of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as set forth in Sections 3.2.5 and 3.2.6.

3.2.5 If the aggregate number of shares of First West Virginia Common Stock with respect to which Stock Elections shall have been made (the “Stock Election Number”) exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof will be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (y) the fraction, the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number, with the remaining number of such holders’ Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

3.2.6 If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(A) If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and the Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall convert into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; or

(B) If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and Cash Election Shares of each holder thereof shall convert into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which (1) the Shortfall Number exceeds (2) the total number of Non-Election Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

3.3 Procedures for Exchange of First West Virginia Common Stock.

3.3.1 CB to Make Merger Consideration Available. Prior to the Effective Time, CB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of First West Virginia Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Section 3.3, an aggregate amount of cash sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to this Article III and shall instruct the Exchange Agent to issue such cash and shares of CB Common Stock for exchange in accordance with this Section 3.3 (such cash and shares of CB Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto (without any interest thereon) being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

3.3.2 Exchange of Certificates. CB shall take all steps necessary to cause the Exchange Agent, not later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, to mail to each holder of a Certificate or Certificates who did not previously submit their Certificates with a completed Election Form a form letter of transmittal for return to the Exchange Agent and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the First West Virginia Common Stock represented by such Certificates shall have been converted as a result of the Merger, if any. The letter of transmittal shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in exchange therefor and the Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration or any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares or any unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to holders of Certificates.

3.3.3 Rights of Certificate Holders after the Effective Time. The holder of a Certificate that prior to the Merger represented issued and outstanding First West Virginia Common Stock shall have no rights, after the Effective Time, with respect to such First West Virginia Common Stock except to surrender the Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to CB Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 3.3. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Section 3.3, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of CB Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

3.3.4 Surrender by Persons Other than Record Holders. If the Person surrendering a Certificate and signing the accompanying letter of transmittal is not the record holder thereof, then it shall be a condition of the payment of the Merger Consideration that: (i) such Certificate is properly endorsed to such Person or is accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name of the record holder appears on such Certificate, and is otherwise in proper form for transfer, or is accompanied by appropriate evidence of the authority of the Person surrendering such Certificate and signing the letter of transmittal to do so on behalf of the record holder; and (ii) the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

3.3.5 Closing of Transfer Books. From and after the Closing Date, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of First West Virginia of the First West Virginia Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration and canceled as provided in this Section 3.3.

3.3.6 Return of Exchange Fund. At any time following the twelve (12) month period after the Effective Time, CB shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund that had been made available to the Exchange Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates (including, without limitation, all interest and other income received by the Exchange Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to CB (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither CB nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Certificate to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.

3.3.7 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof.

3.3.8 Withholding. CB or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of First West Virginia Common Stock such amounts as CB (or any Affiliate thereof) or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by CB or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the First West Virginia Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by CB or the Exchange Agent.

3.4 Reservation of Shares.

CB shall reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of the CB Common Stock for the purpose of issuing shares of CB Common Stock to the First West Virginia stockholders in accordance with this Article III.

The First West Virginia Financial Statements fairly present in each case in all material respects (subject in the case of the unaudited interim statements to normal year-end adjustments) the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries as of and for the respective periods ending on the dates thereof, in accordance with GAAP during the periods involved, except as indicated in the notes thereto, or in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by GAAP.

4.6.3 At the date of the most recent consolidated balance sheet included in the First West Virginia Financial Statements or in the First West Virginia Regulatory Reports, First West Virginia did not have any liabilities, obligations or loss contingencies of any nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of a type required to be reflected in such First West Virginia Financial Statements or in the First West Virginia Regulatory Reports or in the footnotes thereto that are not fully reflected or reserved against therein or fully disclosed in a footnote thereto, except for liabilities, obligations and loss contingencies that are not material, individually or in the aggregate, or that are incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, and subject, in the case of any unaudited statements, to normal, recurring audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

4.7 Taxes.

First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries are members of the same affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code. First West Virginia, on behalf of itself and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries, has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, those filed on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis) required to have been filed by First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, or requests for extensions to file such returns and reports have been timely filed. All such Tax Returns are true, correct, and complete in all material respects. First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries have timely paid or, prior to the Effective Time will pay, all Taxes, whether or not shown on such returns or reports, due or claimed to be due to any Governmental Entity prior to the Effective Time other than Taxes that are being contested in good faith. First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries have declared on their Tax Returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to a substantial underpayment of United States Federal Income Tax within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state or local laws). The accrued but unpaid Taxes of First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries did not, as of the most recent First West Virginia Financial Statements, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the most recent First West Virginia balance sheet (rather than in any notes thereto). First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries are subject to Tax audits in the ordinary course of business. First West Virginia management does not believe that an adverse resolution to any of such audits would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on First West Virginia.

4.13 Employee Benefit Plans.

4.13.1 First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule 4.13.1 contains a list of all written and unwritten pension, retirement, profit-sharing, thrift, savings, deferred compensation, stock option, employee stock ownership, employee stock purchase, restricted stock, severance pay, retention, vacation, bonus or other incentive plans, all employment, change in control, consulting, severance and retention agreements, all other written employee programs, arrangements or agreements, all medical, vision, dental, disability, life insurance, workers’ compensation, employee assistance or other health or welfare plans (including paid time-off policies and any other material benefit policies and procedures), and all other employee benefit or fringe benefit plans, including “employee benefit plans” as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, currently adopted, maintained by, sponsored in whole or in part by, or contributed to by, First West Virginia, any First West Virginia Subsidiary or any of their ERISA Affiliates for the benefit of employees, former employees, retirees (or the dependents, including spouses, of the foregoing), directors, independent contractors or other service providers to First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary and under which employees, former employees, retirees, dependents, spouses, directors, or other service providers of First West Virginia are eligible to participate (collectively, the “First West Virginia Benefit Plans”). Neither First West Virginia nor any First West Virginia Subsidiary has any written or oral commitment to create any additional First West Virginia Benefit Plan or to materially modify, change or renew any existing First West Virginia Benefit Plan (any modification or change that increases the cost of such plan would be deemed material), except as required to maintain the qualified status thereof or to comply with changes to applicable law including, but not limited to ERISA and regulations and guidance issued pursuant thereto.

4.13.2 Except as set forth on First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule 4.13.2, all First West Virginia Benefit Plans are in material compliance with (and have been managed and administrated in accordance with) the applicable terms of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable laws, including but not limited to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the notice and continuation requirements of Parts 6 and 7 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), and the regulations thereunder, HIPAA and ACA and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and all material filings, disclosures and notices required by ERISA, the Code, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, COBRA, HIPAA and ACA and any other applicable law have been timely made or any interest, fines, penalties or other impositions for late filings have been paid in full. Each First West Virginia Benefit Plan governed by ERISA that is intended to be a qualified retirement plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has either: (i) received a favorable determination letter from the IRS (and there are no circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter) or timely application has been made therefor; or (ii) is maintained under a prototype plan that has been approved by the IRS and is entitled to rely upon the IRS National Office opinion letter issued to the prototype plan sponsor. To the Knowledge of First West Virginia, there exists no fact that would adversely affect the qualification of any of the First West Virginia Benefit Plans intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, or any threatened or pending claim against any of the First West Virginia Benefit Plans or their fiduciaries by any participant, beneficiary or Governmental Entity (other than routine claims for benefits). To First West Virginia’s Knowledge, neither First West Virginia nor any First West Virginia Subsidiary has engaged in a transaction, or omitted to take any action with respect to any First West Virginia Benefit Plan that would reasonably be expected to subject First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary to a material unpaid tax or penalty imposed by Chapter 43 of the Code or Sections 409 or 502 of ERISA.

4.13.3 No First West Virginia Benefit Plan is a single employer pension plan (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA) for which First West Virginia or any ERISA Affiliate could incur liability under Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA or a pension plan maintained by more than one employer as described in Section 413(c) of the Code. Neither First West Virginia nor any ERISA Affiliate have ever maintained or contributed to any First West Virginia Benefit Plan that is or was subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or is a multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA).

4.13.4 All material contributions required to be made under the terms of any First West Virginia Benefit Plan have been timely made, and all anticipated contributions and funding obligations are accrued on First West Virginia’s consolidated financial statements to the extent required by GAAP.

4.13.5 To First West Virginia’s Knowledge, neither First West Virginia nor any First West Virginia Subsidiary, nor any director or employee of First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary who is a fiduciary (as that term is defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA) with respect to any of First West Virginia Benefit Plans has any liability for any breach of any fiduciary duties under Sections 404, 405 or 409 of ERISA.

4.13.6 With respect to each First West Virginia Benefit Plan, if applicable, First West Virginia has furnished or otherwise made available to CB true and complete copies of: (i) the current plan documents, the most recent summary plan description, current underlying participant distribution election forms, loan documents, loan amortization schedules and benefit schedules for each written First West Virginia Benefit Plan, if any; (ii) a summary of each unwritten First West Virginia Benefit Plan; (iii) the annual report (Form 5500 series) for the two (2) most recent years; (iv) the actuarial valuation reports and financial statements as of the most recently completed plan year for each First West Virginia Benefit Plan, including the total accrued and vested liabilities, all contributions made by First West Virginia and any First West Virginia Subsidiary and assumptions on which the calculations are based; (v) all related trust agreements, insurance contracts or other funding agreements that currently implement the First West Virginia Benefit Plans; (vi) the most recent IRS determination letter with respect to each tax-qualified First West Virginia Benefit Plan (or, for a First West Virginia Benefit Plan maintained under a pre-approved prototype or volume submitter plan, the IRS advisory letter issued on such pre-approved plan); and (vii) all substantive correspondence relating to any liability of or non-compliance relating to any First West Virginia Benefit Plan addressed to or received from the IRS, the Department of Labor or any other Governmental Entity within the past three (3) years.

4.13.7 Except as listed on First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule 4.13.7, First West Virginia has no liability for retiree health, life or disability insurance, or any retiree death benefits under any First West Virginia Benefit Plan other than any benefits required under COBRA or similar state laws. There has been no communication to employees by First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary that would reasonably be expected to promise or guarantee such employees retiree health, life or disability insurance, or any retiree death benefits, other than respecting the First West Virginia Benefit Plans listed on First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule 4.13.17.

4.13.8 Except as set forth on First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule 4.13.8, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will: (i) result in any payment (including severance other than as provided pursuant to Sections 7.7.4 and 7.7.5) becoming due to any director or any employee of First West Virginia from First West Virginia under any First West Virginia Benefit Plan; (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any First West Virginia Benefit Plan; or (iii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefit. No payment that in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is or may reasonably be expected to be made by, from or with respect to any First West Virginia Benefit Plan, either alone or in conjunction with any other payments will or could properly be characterized as an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code on which an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code is payable or will or could, either individually or collectively, provide for any payment by First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary that would not be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code.

4.13.9 First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule 4.13.9 identifies each First West Virginia Benefit Plan that provides for the deferral of compensation and may be subject to Section 409A of the Code (“First West Virginia Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan”) and the aggregate amounts deferred or accrued, if any, under each such First West Virginia Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan as of September 30, 2017. Except with respect to any action taken pursuant to Section 6.11.2, as to which no representation or warranty is made, each First West Virginia Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan is either (1) grandfathered under Section 409A of the Code, (2) exempt from Section 409A of the Code, or (3) subject to Section 409A, and if subject to Section 409A of the Code, then (i) no action or inaction has been taken or omitted by First West Virginia that would materially violate the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to such First West Virginia Benefit Plan and (ii) no provision of such non-grandfathered, non-exempt First West Virginia Benefit Plan is a document failure under Section 409A of the Code.

4.13.10 Except as set forth on First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule 4.13.10, there is not, and has not been, any trust or fund maintained by or contributed to by First West Virginia or its employees to fund an employee benefit plan that would constitute a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association or a “welfare benefit fund” within the meaning of Section 419(a) of the Code.

4.13.11 No claim, lawsuit, arbitration or other action has been asserted or instituted or, to the Knowledge of First West Virginia, has been threatened or is anticipated, against any First West Virginia Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits and appeals of such claims), First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary or any director, officer or employee thereof, with respect to any First West Virginia Benefit Plan, or any of the assets of any trust of any First West Virginia Benefit Plan.

5.6.2 CB has previously made available to First West Virginia the CB Financial Statements. The CB Financial Statements fairly present in each case in all material respects (subject in the case of the unaudited interim statements to normal year-end adjustments) the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of CB and the CB Subsidiaries as of and for the respective periods ending on the dates thereof, in accordance with GAAP during the periods involved, except as indicated in the notes thereto, or in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by GAAP.

CB and the CB Subsidiaries have declared on their Tax Returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to a substantial underpayment of United States Federal Income Tax within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state or local laws). The accrued but unpaid Taxes of CB and the CB Subsidiaries did not, as of the most recent CB Financial Statements, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the most recent CB statement of financial condition (rather than in any notes thereto). CB and the CB Subsidiaries are subject to Tax audits in the ordinary course of business. CB management does not believe that an adverse resolution to any of such audits would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on CB. CB and the CB Subsidiaries have not been notified in writing by any jurisdiction that the jurisdiction believes that CB or any of the CB Subsidiaries were required to file any Tax Return in such jurisdiction that was not filed. Neither CB nor any of the CB Subsidiaries: (i) has been a member of a group with which they have filed or been included in a combined, consolidated or unitary income Tax Return other than a group the common parent of which was CB; or (ii) has any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than CB or any of the CB Subsidiaries) under Treas. Reg. 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise. As of the date hereof, all deficiencies proposed in writing as a result of any audits have been paid or settled. There are no written claims or assessments pending against CB or any CB Subsidiary for any alleged deficiency in any Tax, and neither CB nor any CB Subsidiary has been notified in writing of any proposed Tax claims or assessments against CB or any CB Subsidiary. CB and the CB Subsidiaries each have duly and timely withheld, collected and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority all amounts required to be so withheld and paid under all applicable laws, and have duly and timely filed all Tax Returns with respect to such withheld Taxes, within the time prescribed under any applicable law. Neither CB nor any of the CB Subsidiaries is or has been a party to any “reportable transaction,” as defined in Section 6707A(c)(1) of the Code and Treas. Reg. 1.6011-4(b). Neither CB nor any of the CB Subsidiaries has distributed stock of another Person, nor has had its stock distributed by another Person, in a transaction that was purported or intended to be governed in whole or in part by Sections 355 or 361 of the Code. Neither CB nor any of the CB Subsidiaries has been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code.

5.7.2 Neither CB nor any of the CB Subsidiaries or Affiliates has taken or agreed to take any action, has failed to take any action or knows of any fact, agreement, plan or other circumstance that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

5.8 No Material Adverse Effect.

Since December 31, 2016, to CB’s Knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance arisen that has had or reasonably would be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on CB.

5.9 Ownership of Property; Insurance Coverage.

5.9.1 CB and each CB Subsidiary has good and, as to real property, marketable title to all assets and properties owned by CB or such CB Subsidiary, as applicable, in the conduct of its businesses, whether such assets and properties are real or personal, tangible or intangible, including assets and property reflected in the most recent consolidated statement of financial condition contained in the CB Financial Statements or acquired subsequent thereto (except to the extent that such assets and properties have been disposed of in the ordinary course of business, since the date of such consolidated statement of financial condition), subject to no encumbrances, liens, mortgages, security interests or pledges, except: (i) those items that secure liabilities for public or statutory obligations or any discount with, borrowing from or other obligations to FHLB, inter-bank credit facilities, reverse repurchase agreements or any transaction by an CB Subsidiary acting in a fiduciary capacity; and (ii) statutory liens for amounts not yet delinquent or that are being contested in good faith. CB and the CB Subsidiaries, as lessee, have the right under valid and existing leases of real and personal properties used by CB and the CB Subsidiaries in the conduct of their businesses to occupy or use all such properties as presently occupied and used by each of them. Such existing leases and commitments to lease constitute or will constitute operating leases for both tax and financial accounting purposes and the lease expense and minimum rental commitments with respect to such leases and lease commitments are as disclosed in all material respects in the notes to the CB Financial Statements.

5.9.2 With respect to all material agreements pursuant to which CB or any CB Subsidiary has purchased securities subject to an agreement to resell, if any, CB or such CB Subsidiary, as the case may be, has a lien or security interest (which to CB’s Knowledge is a valid, perfected first lien) in the securities or other collateral securing the repurchase agreement, and the value of such collateral equals or exceeds the amount of the debt secured thereby.

5.9.3 CB and each CB Subsidiary currently maintain insurance considered by each of them to be reasonable for their respective operations. Neither CB nor any CB Subsidiary has received notice from any insurance carrier on or before the date hereof that: (i) such insurance will be canceled or that coverage thereunder will be reduced or eliminated; or (ii) premium costs with respect to such policies of insurance will be substantially increased. There are presently no claims pending under such policies of insurance and no notices of claim have been given by CB or any CB Subsidiary under such policies. All such insurance is valid and enforceable and in full force and effect (other than insurance that expires in accordance with its terms), and within the last three (3) years CB and each CB Subsidiary has received each type of insurance coverage for which it has applied and during such periods has not been denied indemnification for any claims submitted under any of its insurance policies. CB Disclosure Schedule 5.9.3 identifies all policies of insurance maintained by CB and each CB Subsidiary, including the name of the insurer, the policy number, the type of policy and any applicable deductibles, as well as the other matters required to be disclosed under this Section 5.9.3. CB has made available to First West Virginia copies of all of the policies listed on CB Disclosure Schedule 5.9.3.

Except as disclosed on CB Disclosure Schedule 5.10, neither CB nor any CB Subsidiary is a party to any, and there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of CB, threatened, legal, administrative, arbitration or other proceedings, claims (whether asserted or unasserted), actions or governmental investigations or inquiries of any nature (i) against CB or any CB Subsidiary, (ii) to which CB or any CB Subsidiary’s assets are or may be subject, (iii) challenging the validity or propriety of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iv) that reasonably could be expected to adversely affect the ability of CB or any CB Subsidiary to perform under this Agreement.

5.12.1 CB Disclosure Schedule 5.12.1 contains a list of all written and unwritten pension, retirement, profit-sharing, thrift, savings, deferred compensation, stock option, employee stock ownership, employee stock purchase, restricted stock, severance pay, retention, vacation, bonus or other incentive plans, all employment, change in control, consulting, severance and retention agreements, all other written employee programs, arrangements or agreements, all medical, vision, dental, disability, life insurance, workers’ compensation, employee assistance or other health or welfare plans (including paid time-off policies and other material benefit policies and procedures), and all other employee benefit or fringe benefit plans, including “employee benefit plans” as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, currently adopted, maintained by, sponsored in whole or in part by, or contributed to by, CB, any CB Subsidiary or any of their ERISA Affiliates for the benefit of employees, former employees, retirees (or the dependents, including spouses, of the foregoing), directors, independent contractors or other service providers to CB or any CB Subsidiary and under which employees, former employees, retirees, dependents, spouses, directors, or other service providers of CB are eligible to participate (collectively, the “CB Benefit Plans”).

5.12.2 All CB Benefit Plans are in material compliance with (and have been managed and administrated in accordance with) the applicable terms of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable laws, including but not limited to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, COBRA, HIPAA and ACA and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and all material filings, disclosures and notices required by ERISA, the Code, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, COBRA HIPAA and ACA and any other applicable law have been timely made or any interest, fines, penalties or other impositions for late filings have been paid in full. Each CB Benefit Plan governed by ERISA that is intended to be a qualified retirement plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has either: (i) received a favorable determination letter from the IRS (and there are no circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter) or timely application has been made therefor; or (ii) is maintained under a prototype plan that has been approved by the IRS and is entitled to rely upon the IRS National Office opinion letter issued to the prototype plan sponsor. To the Knowledge of CB, there exists no fact that would adversely affect the qualification of any of the CB Benefit Plans intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, or any threatened or pending claim against any of the CB Benefit Plans or their fiduciaries by any participant, beneficiary or Governmental Entity (other than routine claims for benefits). To CB’s Knowledge, neither CB nor any CB Subsidiary has engaged in a transaction, or omitted to take any action with respect to any CB Benefit Plan that would reasonably be expected to subject CB or any CB Subsidiary to a material unpaid tax or penalty imposed by Chapter 43 of the Code or Sections 409 or 502 of ERISA.

5.12.3 No CB Benefit Plan is a single employer pension plan (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA) for which First West Virginia or any ERISA Affiliate could incur liability under Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA or a pension plan maintained by more than one employer as described in Section 413(c) of the Code. Neither CB nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever maintained or contributed to any CB Benefit Plan that is or was subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or is a multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA).

5.12.4 All material contributions required to be made under the terms of any CB Benefit Plan have been timely made, and all anticipated contributions and funding obligations are accrued on CB’s consolidated financial statements to the extent required by GAAP. CB and each CB Subsidiary have expensed and accrued as a liability the present value of future benefits under each applicable CB Benefit Plan for financial reporting purposes to the extent required by GAAP.

5.12.5 To CB’s Knowledge, neither CB nor any CB Subsidiary, nor any director or employee of CB or any CB Subsidiary who is a fiduciary (as that term is defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA) with respect to any of CB Benefit Plans has any liability for any breach of any fiduciary duties under Sections 404, 405 or 409 of ERISA.

5.12.6 No claim, lawsuit, arbitration or other action has been asserted or instituted or, to the Knowledge of CB, has been threatened or is anticipated, against any CB Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits and appeals of such claims), CB or any CB Subsidiary or any director, officer or employee thereof, or any of the assets of any trust of any CB Benefit Plan.

5.13 Brokers, Finders and Financial Advisors.

Neither CB nor any CB Subsidiary, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, has employed any broker, finder or financial advisor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or incurred any liability or commitment for any fees or commissions to any such Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for the retention of Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc. by CB and the fee payable pursuant thereto.

6.2.2 First West Virginia and CB shall cooperate regarding a plan for the conversion of data processing and related electronic informational systems of First West Virginia to those used by CB, which planning shall include, but not be limited to: discussion of the possible termination by First West Virginia of third-party service provider arrangements effective at the Effective Time or at a date thereafter; non-renewal of personal property leases and software licenses used by First West Virginia in connection with its systems operations; retention of outside consultants and additional employees to assist with the conversion; and outsourcing, as appropriate, of proprietary or self-provided system services, it being understood that First West Virginia shall not be obligated to take any such action prior to the Effective Time and, unless First West Virginia otherwise agrees and provided it is permitted by applicable law, no conversion shall take place prior to the Effective Time. CB and Community Bank shall indemnify First West Virginia for any reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses, or charges that First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary may incur as a result of taking, at the request of CB or any CB Subsidiary, any action to facilitate the conversion.

6.2.3 First West Virginia shall provide CB, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the end of each calendar month, a written list of non-performing assets (the term “non-performing assets,” for purposes of this subsection, means (i) loans that are “troubled debt restructurings” as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 310-40, (ii) loans on non-accrual, (iii) real estate owned, (iv) all loans ninety (90) days or more past due as of the end of such month and (v) and impaired loans.

6.3 Access to Properties and Records.

Subject to Section 11.1, First West Virginia shall permit CB access upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times to its properties and those of the First West Virginia Subsidiaries, and shall disclose and make available to CB during normal business hours all of its books and records relating to the assets, properties, operations, obligations and liabilities, including, but not limited to, all books of account (including the general ledger), tax records, minute books of directors’ and stockholders’ meetings (other than minutes that discuss any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other subject matter that First West Virginia reasonably determines should be kept confidential), organizational documents, bylaws, material contracts and agreements, filings with any regulatory authority, litigation files, plans affecting employees, and any other business activities or prospects in which CB may have a reasonable interest; provided, however, that First West Virginia shall not be required to take any action that would provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure, in First West Virginia’s reasonable judgment, would interfere with the normal conduct of First West Virginia’s business or would violate or prejudice the rights or business interests or confidences of any customer or other Person or entity or would result in the waiver by it of the privilege protecting communications between it and any of its counsel or contravene any applicable law. First West Virginia shall provide and shall request its auditors to provide CB with such historical financial information regarding it (and related audit reports and consents) as CB may reasonably request for Securities Law disclosure purposes.

First West Virginia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain, and to cause the First West Virginia Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance in such amounts as are reasonable to cover such risks as are customary in relation to the character and location of its properties and the nature of its business, with such coverage and in such amounts not less than that maintained by First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement and set forth on First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule 4.10.3. First West Virginia will promptly inform CB if First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary receives notice from an insurance carrier that (i) an insurance policy will be canceled or that coverage thereunder will be reduced or eliminated, or (ii) premium costs with respect to any policy of insurance will be substantially increased.

6.6 Disclosure Supplements.

From time to time prior to the Closing Date, First West Virginia will promptly supplement or amend the First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection herewith with respect to any matter hereafter arising that, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule or that is necessary to correct any information in such First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule that has been rendered materially inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such First West Virginia Disclosure Schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IX.

6.7 Consents and Approvals of Third Parties.

First West Virginia shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause each First West Virginia Subsidiary to use its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain as soon as practicable all consents and approvals of any other Persons or entities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, First West Virginia agrees to use, and agrees to cause each First West Virginia Subsidiary to use, all reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary under applicable laws and regulations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.9 Failure to Fulfill Conditions.

If First West Virginia determines that a condition to its obligation to complete the Merger cannot be fulfilled and that it will not waive that condition, it will promptly notify CB.

6.10 No Solicitation.

6.10.1 From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, First West Virginia shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by First West Virginia or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, induce or encourage, or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries, offers, discussions or the making of any proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish any information or data regarding First West Virginia or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to any person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or an inquiry or indication of interest that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations, or otherwise communicate in any way with any person (other than CB), regarding an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, (v) release any person from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which First West Virginia or any of its subsidiaries is a party or (vi) enter into or consummate any agreement, agreement in principle, letter of intent, arrangement or understanding contemplating any Acquisition Proposal or requiring First West Virginia to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any officer, director or employee of First West Virginia or any of its Subsidiaries or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by First West Virginia or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.10 by First West Virginia. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the adoption and approval of this Agreement by First West Virginia’s stockholders at the First West Virginia Stockholder Meeting, this Section 6.10(a) shall not prohibit First West Virginia from furnishing non-public information regarding First West Virginia and its Subsidiaries to, or entering into discussions with, any person in response to an Acquisition Proposal that is submitted to First West Virginia by such person (and not withdrawn) if (1) the Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (2) First West Virginia has not breached any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.10, (3) First West Virginia’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with and after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary obligations to the First West Virginia’s stockholders under applicable law, and (4) at least two (2) Business Days prior to furnishing any non-public information to, or entering into discussions with, such person, First West Virginia gives CB written notice of the identity of such person and of First West Virginia’s intention to furnish non-public information to, or enter into discussions with, such person and First West Virginia receives from such person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no more favorable to such person than the confidentiality agreement between CB and First West Virginia is to CB.

6.10.2 First West Virginia will notify CB in writing within two (2) calendar days of receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for non-public information that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, including, in each case, the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and the terms and conditions thereof and shall provide to CB any written materials received by First West Virginia or any of its Subsidiaries in connection therewith. First West Virginia will keep CB informed immediately of any developments with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry orally (within one (1) calendar day) upon the occurrence thereof.

6.11.1 The First West Virginia 401(k) Plan shall be terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “401(k) Plan Termination Date”). As soon as practicable thereafter, CB shall file or cause to be filed all necessary documents with the IRS for a determination letter that the termination of the Plan as of the 401(k) Plan Termination Date will not adversely affect the First West Virginia 401(k) Plan’s qualified status. As soon as practicable following receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the First West Virginia 401(k) Plan upon termination, the account balances in the First West Virginia 401(k) Plan shall be distributed to participants and beneficiaries (and alternative payees, if any,) or transferred to an eligible tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary (or alternative payee, as the case may be,) may direct, and in accordance with Plan terms. First West Virginia and Progressive Bank shall adopt the necessary amendment(s) and board resolution(s) to effect the provisions of this Section 6.11.1.

7.1.1 Covenants of CB.

(A) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, except with the written consent of First West Virginia, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, CB will, and it will cause each CB Subsidiary to: use reasonable best efforts to preserve intact its business organization and assets and maintain its rights and franchises; and voluntarily take no action that would (i) change or waive any provision of its articles of incorporation or bylaws in any way adverse to the rights of First West Virginia stockholders, except as required by law; (ii) materially adversely affect the ability of the parties to obtain the Regulatory Approvals or materially increase the period of time necessary to obtain the Regulatory Approvals or consummate the Merger; (iii) materially adversely affect its ability to perform its covenants and agreements under this Agreement; (iv) result in the representations and warranties contained in Article V of this Agreement not being true and correct on the date of this Agreement or at any future date on or prior to the Closing Date or in any of the conditions set forth in Article IX hereof not being satisfied; or (v) prevent or impede, or be reasonably likely to prevent or impede, the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(B) Prior to the Effective Time, CB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent the Exchange Fund.

7.2 Financial and Other Statements.

7.2.1 Promptly upon receipt thereof, CB will furnish to First West Virginia copies of each annual, interim or special audit of the financial statements of CB and the CB Subsidiaries made by its independent registered public accountants.

7.2.2 As soon as reasonably available, but in no event later than the date such documents are filed with the PDOB, FDIC or FRB, CB will deliver to First West Virginia the CB Regulatory Report filed by CB or Community Bank.

7.3 Disclosure Supplements.

From time to time prior to the Closing Date, CB will promptly supplement or amend the CB Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection herewith with respect to any matter hereafter arising that, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such CB Disclosure Schedule or that is necessary to correct any information in such CB Disclosure Schedule that has been rendered materially inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such CB Disclosure Schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IX.

7.4 Consents and Approvals of Third Parties.

CB shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause each CB Subsidiary to use its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain as soon as practicable all consents and approvals of any other Persons necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, CB agrees to use and agrees to cause each CB Subsidiary to use reasonable best efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary under applicable laws and regulations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable.

7.6 Failure to Fulfill Conditions.

If CB determines that a condition to its obligation to complete the Merger cannot be fulfilled and that it will not waive that condition, it will promptly notify First West Virginia.

7.7 Employee Matters.

7.7.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, CB will review all the First West Virginia Benefit Plans to determine whether to maintain, terminate or continue such plans after the Effective Time. CB will use best efforts so that the former employees of First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary who become employees of CB or Community Bank after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) will become eligible to participate in any CB Benefit Plan of similar character (to extent that one exists, other than any CB or CB Subsidiary non-qualified deferred compensation plan, employment agreement, change in control agreement or equity incentive plan or other similar type of arrangement for “top hat” or key employees), to the extent such participation would not result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Continuing Employees who become participants in a CB Benefits Plan shall be given credit for meeting eligibility and vesting requirements (but not for benefit accrual purposes, except as set forth on CB Disclosure Schedule 7.7.1) in such plans for service as an employee of First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time. This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the ability of CB or Community Bank to terminate the employment of any employee of First West Virginia or First West Virginia Subsidiary or to review any First West Virginia Benefit Plan from time to time and to make such changes (including terminating any such plan) as they deem appropriate. Except to the extent of commitments herein or other contractual commitments, if any, specifically made or assumed by CB hereunder or by operation of law, CB or any CB Subsidiary shall have no obligation arising from and after the Effective Time to continue in its employ or in any specific job or to provide to any specified level of compensation or any incentive payments, benefits or perquisites to any Person who is an employee of First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary as of the Effective Time.

7.7.2 CB shall make available to Continuing Employees and their dependents employer-provided health coverage on the same basis as it provides such coverage to CB and Community Bank employees. Unless a Continuing Employee affirmatively terminates coverage under a First West Virginia or First West Virginia Subsidiary health plan prior to the time that such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in the CB health plan, no coverage of any of the Continuing Employees or their dependents shall terminate under any of the First West Virginia or First West Virginia Subsidiary health plans prior to the time such Continuing Employees and their dependents become eligible to participate in the health plans, programs and benefits common to all employees of CB or Community Bank and their dependents. Continuing Employees who become covered under health plans, programs and benefits of CB or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid under First West Virginia’s health plan for the plan year in which coverage commences under CB’s health plan and shall not be subject to any pre-existing conditions under any such plans. In the event of a termination or consolidation of any First West Virginia or First West Virginia Subsidiary health plan, terminated employees of First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary and qualified beneficiaries will have the right to continued coverage under group health plans of CB in accordance with COBRA.

7.7.3 CB agrees to take all other actions necessary to complete the termination of the First West Virginia 401(k) Plan, including filing final Forms 5500 and 5310, that arise or are ongoing after the Effective Time. CB agrees to permit participants in the First West Virginia 401(k) Plan who are Continuing Employees to roll over their account balances from such plans to the CB 401(k) Plan, to the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with the CB 401(k) Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, CB or Community Bank shall take any necessary action, including amending the CB 401(k) Plan, to provide that: (i) all Continuing Employees are given service credit with First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiary for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting under the CB 401(k) Plan, and (ii) Continuing Employees who satisfy the eligibility requirements of the CB 401(k) Plan shall enter the CB 401(k) Plan immediately following the Effective Time.

7.7.4 CB agrees that each full-time First West Virginia employee who is involuntarily terminated by CB (other than for “Cause” as determined by CB ) at or within one year of the Effective Time and who is not covered by a separate severance, change in control or employment agreement or arrangement that specifically provides for severance payment on termination of employment, shall, upon executing an appropriate release in the form reasonably determined by CB, 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 First West Virginia, with a minimum of four weeks of base pay and a maximum equal to 26 weeks of base pay. For purposes of calculating the number of years of service, fractional years of service shall be rounded up or down to the nearest full year. For purposes of calculating base pay, First West Virginia employees who are paid on an hourly basis shall be deemed to have a base pay equal to the employee’s average weekly compensation over the two months prior to the termination date.

7.7.5 CB agrees to make payments to certain specified individuals in the form and amounts as set forth on CB Disclosure Schedule 7.7.5, and such individuals set forth in CB Disclosure Schedule 7.7.5 shall not be eligible for severance pursuant to Section 7.7.4 hereof.

7.7.6 CB shall establish a retention/stay bonus pool in an amount as set forth on CB Disclosure Schedule 7.7.6 for employees of First West Virginia and its Subsidiaries as designated by CB in consultation with and First West Virginia to help retain key employees. The amount and payment date of the retention/stay bonus for each such employee shall be determined by CB in consultation with First West Virginia, but in the aggregate shall not exceed the amount provided on CB Disclosure Schedule 7.7.6.

7.7.7 As soon as reasonably practical after the Effective Time, CB agrees to form an Advisory Board (the “Advisory Board”), which shall be comprised of certain members of the Board of Directors of First West Virginia as of the date of this Agreement who do not become members of the Board of Directors of CB and representatives from the communities served by First West Virginia, in each case as selected by CB. CB shall maintain the Advisory Board for a period of at least twelve (12) months after the Effective Time. The Advisory Board shall meet on a quarterly basis and shall receive compensation for such service in an amount to be determined by CB prior to the Effective Time.

7.8 Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

7.8.1 For six (6) years following the Effective Time, CB shall maintain in effect First West Virginia’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering each person currently covered by First West Virginia’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy with respect to claims against such persons arising from facts or events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall CB be required to expend in the aggregate pursuant to this Section 7.8.1 more than 200% of the annual premiums currently paid by First West Virginia for such insurance and, if CB is unable to maintain such policy as a result of this proviso, CB shall obtain the most advantageous policies of directors and officers insurance obtainable as is available by payment of the amount equal to the aforementioned cap; provided, further, that CB may (i) request that First West Virginia obtain an extended reporting period endorsement under First West Virginia’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or (ii) substitute therefor “tail” policies the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are no less favorable in any material respect to such person than First West Virginia’s existing insurance policies as of the date hereof.

7.8.2 In addition to Section 7.8.1, following the Effective Date, CB shall to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and the current provisions of the articles of incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries (to the extent not prohibited by federal law), indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or who has been at any time before the date hereof or who becomes before the Effective Time, an officer or director of First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of CB, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, or administrative (each, a “Claim”) in which an Indemnified Party is or is threatened to be made a party or witness in whole or in part or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such Person is or was an officer or director of First West Virginia or any First West Virginia Subsidiary or was prior to the Effective Time serving at the request of any such party as a director, officer, employee, trustee or partner of another Person or benefit plan if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing, or occurring before the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, or after, the Effective Time. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.8.2 upon learning of any Claim, shall notify CB (but the failure so to notify CB shall not relieve CB from any liability that it may have under this Section 7.8.2, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices CB). In the event of any such Claim (whether arising before or after the Effective Time) (1) CB shall have the right to assume the defense thereof (in which event the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter) and upon such assumption CB shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if CB elects not to assume such defense, or counsel for the Indemnified Parties reasonably advises the Indemnified Parties that there are or may be (whether or not any have yet actually arisen) issues that raise conflicts of interest between CB and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to them, and CB shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties, (2) except to the extent otherwise required due to conflicts of interest, CB shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties unless there is a conflict of interest that necessitates more than one law firm, and (3) CB shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). CB shall also advance expenses as incurred in each case upon receipt of an undertaking from the Indemnified Party to repay such advanced expenses if it is determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

7.8.3 If either CB or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of CB shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.8.

7.8.4 The obligations of CB provided under this Section 7.8 are intended to be enforceable against CB directly by the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all respective successors and permitted assigns of CB.

7.8.5 Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 7.8 are subject to and conditioned on their compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1828(k)) and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (12 C.F.R. Part 359).

7.9 Stock Listing.

CB agrees to file with the Nasdaq Stock Market, prior to the Effective Time, a notification form for the listing of all shares of CB Common Stock to be issued in the Merger.

7.10 Reservation of Stock.

CB agrees at all times from the date of this Agreement until the Merger Consideration has been paid in full to reserve a sufficient number of shares of CB Common Stock to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

7.11 Communications to First West Virginia Employees; Training.

CB and First West Virginia agree that as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, meetings with employees of First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries shall be held at such locations as CB and First West Virginia shall mutually agree, provided that representatives of First West Virginia shall be permitted to attend such meetings. CB and First West Virginia shall mutually agree in advance as to the scope and content of all communications to the employees of First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. At mutually agreed upon times following execution of this Agreement, representatives of CB shall be permitted to meet with the employees of First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries to discuss employment opportunities with CB, provided that representatives of First West Virginia shall be permitted to attend any such meeting. From and after the first date on which all Regulatory Approvals (and waivers, if applicable) the CB Stockholder Approval and the First West Virginia Stockholder Approval (disregarding any waiting period) have been obtained, CB shall also be permitted to conduct training sessions outside of normal business hours or at other times as First West Virginia may agree, with the employees of First West Virginia and the First West Virginia Subsidiaries and may conduct such training seminars at any branch location of Progressive Bank; provided that CB will in good faith attempt to schedule such training sessions in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Progressive Bank’s normal business operations.

8.1.1 CB and First West Virginia will each: (i) take all steps necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Merger Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC for the purpose of approving this Agreement and the Merger (the meeting of the stockholders of CB referred to herein as the “CB Stockholders Meeting” and the meeting of the stockholders of First West Virginia referred to herein as the “First West Virginia Stockholders Meeting”), except as otherwise provided in this section; (ii) subject to Section 8.1.2 in the case of First West Virginia, in connection with the solicitation of proxies, have its Board of Directors recommend approval of this Agreement to its respective stockholders; (iii) include such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus; (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from its respective stockholders a vote approving and adopting this Agreement; and (v) cooperate and consult with each other with respect to each of the foregoing matters.

8.1.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the First West Virginia Stockholders Meeting, First West Virginia’s Board of Directors may, if it concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal advisors) that the failure to do so would cause it to violate its fiduciary duties under applicable law, withdraw, modify or change its recommendation that the stockholders of First West Virginia approve this Agreement in a manner adverse to CB (a “Change of Recommendation”); provided that prior to any such Change of Recommendation, First West Virginia shall have complied in all material respects with Section 6.10, given CB written notice promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) advising it of the decision of First West Virginia’s Board of Directors to take such action and, if the decision relates to an Acquisition Proposal, given CB the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, including the identity of the person making any such Acquisition Proposal; and provided, further, that if the decision relates to an Acquisition Proposal: (i) First West Virginia shall have given CB two (2) Business Days after delivery of such notice to CB to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement (or make another proposal) and if CB proposes to revise the terms of this Agreement, First West Virginia shall have negotiated, and shall have caused its financial and legal advisors to negotiate, in good faith with CB with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal; and (ii) First West Virginia’s Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to any proposals, amendments or modifications made or agreed to by CB, if any, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. If First West Virginia’s Board of Directors does not make the determination that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and thereafter determines not to withdraw, modify or change its recommendation that the stockholders of First West Virginia approve this Agreement in connection with a new Acquisition Proposal, the procedures referred to above shall apply anew and shall also apply to any subsequent withdrawal, amendment or change. In the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal that result in terms that are less favorable to First West Virginia, First West Virginia shall be required to deliver a new written notice to CB and to again comply with the requirements of this Section 8.1.2 with respect to such new written notice, except that the three (3) Business Day period referred to above shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit First West Virginia from otherwise disclosing any information to its stockholders that the Board of Directors of First West Virginia determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that it is required to disclose in order to not breach its fiduciary duties to First West Virginia’s stockholders under applicable law, subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 8.1.2.

8.2 Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus; Merger Registration Statement.

8.2.1 For the purposes of (i) registering CB Common Stock to be offered to holders of First West Virginia Common Stock in connection with the Merger with the SEC under the Securities Act, and (ii) holding the CB Stockholders Meeting and the First West Virginia Stockholders Meeting, CB shall prepare, and First West Virginia shall cooperate in the preparation of, the Merger Registration Statement, including a proxy statement and prospectus satisfying all applicable requirements of applicable state securities and banking laws and the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder (such proxy statement/prospectus in the form mailed by CB to the CB stockholders and by First West Virginia to the First West Virginia stockholders, together with any and all amendments or supplements thereto, being herein referred to as the “Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus”). CB shall provide First West Virginia and its counsel with appropriate opportunity to review and comment on the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus, and shall incorporate all appropriate comments thereto, prior to the time it is initially filed with the SEC or any amendments are filed with the SEC. Each of CB and First West Virginia shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Merger Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, and CB and First West Virginia shall thereafter promptly mail the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus to its respective stockholders. CB shall also use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and First West Virginia shall furnish all information concerning First West Virginia and the holders of First West Virginia Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

8.2.2 CB shall, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, file the Merger Registration Statement with the SEC under the Securities Act in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. CB will advise First West Virginia promptly after CB receives notice of the time when the Merger 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 registration of the shares of CB Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Merger Registration Statement, or 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 Merger Registration Statement, or for additional information, and CB will provide First West Virginia with as many copies of such Merger Registration Statement and all amendments thereto promptly upon the filing thereof as First West Virginia may reasonably request.

8.2.3 First West Virginia and CB shall promptly notify the other party if at any time it becomes aware that the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus or the Merger Registration Statement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In such event, First West Virginia shall cooperate with CB in the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus that corrects such misstatement or omission, and CB shall file an amended Merger Registration Statement with the SEC, and CB and First West Virginia shall each mail an amended Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus to its respective stockholders.

8.3 Regulatory Approvals.

Each of First West Virginia and CB will cooperate with the other and use reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and as soon as practicable following the date hereof file all necessary documentation to obtain all necessary permits, consents, waivers, approvals and authorizations of the Bank Regulators or any other third parties or Governmental Entities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. First West Virginia and CB will furnish each other and each other’s counsel with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be necessary or advisable in connection with any application, petition or other statement made by or on behalf of First West Virginia or CB to any Bank Regulator or Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. First West Virginia shall have the right to review and approve in advance all characterizations of the information relating to First West Virginia and any First West Virginia Subsidiary that appears in any filing made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with any Governmental Entity. In addition, First West Virginia and CB shall each furnish to the other for review a copy of each such filing made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with any Governmental Entity prior to its filing. Each of First West Virginia and CB will cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to address any conditions in any regulatory approval to allow for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of CB and First West Virginia agrees to 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 Bank Regulator or Governmental Entity, 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 Bank Regulator or Governmental Entity 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, CB shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law (i) promptly advise First West Virginia of the receipt of any substantive communication from a Bank Regulator or Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) provide First West Virginia 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 Bank Regulator or Governmental Entity 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 First West Virginia (as permitted by such Bank Regulators) with a reasonable opportunity to participate in any meetings or substantive telephone conversations that CB or any CB Subsidiaries or their respective representatives may have from time to time with any Bank Regulator or Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
