Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

This agreement is dated as of May 31, 2009 (the "Effective Date"), by and between WesBanco, Inc. (the "Borrower") and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (together with its successors and assigns the "Bank"). The provisions of this agreement are effective as of the Effective Date on the date that the Borrower has satisfied all the conditions in Section 7 of this agreement.

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Bank entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 12, 2006, as amended by that certain Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 31, 2007 (the "Credit Agreement"); and

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested and the Bank has agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth in this agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in mutual consideration of the agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1.
DEFINED TERMS. Capitalized terms used in this agreement shall have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement, unless otherwise defined in this agreement.

2.
WAIVER. Pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower agreed to at all times maintain a Consolidated Non-Performing Asset Ratio of not greater than one and 75/100 percent (1.75%).  The Borrower is out of compliance with this requirement for the calendar quarter ended as of March 31, 2009 (the "Reporting Period End Date") having reported a Consolidated Non-Performing Asset Ratio of two and 19/100 percent (2.19%).

Although the Borrower is in default under the Credit Agreement because of the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Bank is electing to waive the specific default resulting from the Borrower’s failure to comply with the above-referenced covenant but only for the calendar quarter ended as of the Reporting Period End Date.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as a waiver of any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement nor shall be construed as a commitment on the part of the Bank to waive any subsequent violation of the same or any other term or condition set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this agreement.  As consideration for the review of the Borrower’s request to waive the default described above for the calendar quarter ended as of the Reporting Period End Date, and for providing the limited waiver described in this paragraph, the Borrower agrees to pay the Bank a fee in the amount of $3,000.00 (the "Waiver Fee").  The Waiver Fee is due and payable on the date the Borrower executes and delivers this agreement to the Bank.  To effectuate payment of the Waiver Fee, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to initiate a debit entry to Account Number 707505566 at the Bank and to debit the same to such account. The Borrower represents that the Borrower is and will be the owner of all funds in such account.

3.
