<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On September&nbsp;29, 2008, Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into an agreement with Gary A.
Simanson that governs the terms of his employment with the Company as its Chief Strategic Officer and Vice Chairman
(the &#147;Agreement&#148;). Prior to the consummation of the respective mergers of TransCommunity Financial Corporation (&#147;TFC&#148;)
and BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. (&#147;BOE&#148;) with and into the Company, which mergers became effective on May
31, 2008, Mr.&nbsp;Simanson served as the sole executive officer of the Company and did not receive any salary for his
services. As of the effective date of the mergers, and in accordance with the terms of the respective merger
agreements between the Company and TFC and BOE, Mr.&nbsp;Simanson began to serve in his current position of Chief Strategic
Officer and Vice Chairman of the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Except for certain financial terms described in the last paragraph below, the terms of the Agreement are
substantially similar as those for George M. Longest, Jr., Chief Executive Officer and Bruce E. Thomas, Chief Financial
Officer, respectively, of the Company. The terms of their employment agreements were described in the Company&#146;s joint
proxy statement/prospectus, dated March&nbsp;25, 2008, included in its registration statement on Form S-4 (no. 333-149384),
as amended, relating to the merger of BOE and the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The term of the Agreement is for three years from the closing date of the mergers. On each anniversary of the
merger date, the term of the Agreement will be extended by an additional year unless the Company gives written notice
that no further extensions should occur. The Agreement provides for the continuation of Mr.&nbsp;Simanson&#146;s base salary and
certain health benefits for two years following a termination of employment with the Company by Mr.&nbsp;Simanson for good
reason or a termination of employment by the Company without cause. The Agreement also provides that within two years
following a change in control, if his employment is terminated without cause or for good reason, Mr.&nbsp;Simanson will be
entitled to a salary continuance benefit equal to 2.99 times his final compensation, excluding certain one-time
payments, and the continuation of certain health benefits for three years. The Agreement further provides that, in
connection with the termination of his employment following a change in control, the Company will pay Mr.&nbsp;Simanson a
gross-up payment equal to the amount of any excise taxes (plus the applicable federal and state income and other taxes
due on such gross-up payment) payable by Mr.&nbsp;Simanson if the aggregate value of the salary continuance benefit and
related health benefits exceeds the threshold amount that triggers the excise tax for federal tax purposes. In order
to avoid the expense of the excise tax in a situation where Mr.&nbsp;Simanson would realize a nominal benefit, the Company
will be required to make the tax gross-up payment only if the value of the aggregate payments and benefits due Mr.
Simanson exceeds by $25,000 the threshold amount that would avoid triggering the excise tax. If the value of such
payments and benefits is less than the $25,000 differential, the payments and benefits will be reduced to the extent
necessary so as not to trigger the excise tax. The Agreement prohibits Mr.&nbsp;Simanson from competing with the Company
following the termination of his employment, from soliciting employees and customers of the Company, and from divulging
confidential information obtained while employed with the Company. These restrictions will extend for a two year
period following the termination of employment, except that in the case of a termination without cause or for good
reason following a change in control, the non-compete and customer solicitation restrictions will be in force for only
one year.

amount determined by the Company for financial advisory and other services he renders in connection with the
negotiation and consummation of any merger or other business combination involving the Company or any of its

On September 29, 2008, Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the "Company") entered into an agreement with Gary A.
Simanson that governs the terms of his employment with the Company as its Chief Strategic Officer and Vice Chairman
(the "Agreement"). Prior to the consummation of the respective mergers of TransCommunity Financial Corporation ("TFC")
and BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. ("BOE") with and into the Company, which mergers became effective on May
31, 2008, Mr. Simanson served as the sole executive officer of the Company and did not receive any salary for his
services. As of the effective date of the mergers, and in accordance with the terms of the respective merger
agreements between the Company and TFC and BOE, Mr. Simanson began to serve in his current position of Chief Strategic
Officer and Vice Chairman of the Company.
Except for certain financial terms described in the last paragraph below, the terms of the Agreement are
substantially similar as those for George M. Longest, Jr., Chief Executive Officer and Bruce E. Thomas, Chief Financial
Officer, respectively, of the Company. The terms of their employment agreements were described in the Company's joint
proxy statement/prospectus, dated March 25, 2008, included in its registration statement on Form S-4 (no. 333-149384),
as amended, relating to the merger of BOE and the Company.
The term of the Agreement is for three years from the closing date of the mergers. On each anniversary of the
merger date, the term of the Agreement will be extended by an additional year unless the Company gives written notice
that no further extensions should occur. The Agreement provides for the continuation of Mr. Simanson's base salary and
certain health benefits for two years following a termination of employment with the Company by Mr. Simanson for good
reason or a termination of employment by the Company without cause. The Agreement also provides that within two years
following a change in control, if his employment is terminated without cause or for good reason, Mr. Simanson will be
entitled to a salary continuance benefit equal to 2.99 times his final compensation, excluding certain one-time
payments, and the continuation of certain health benefits for three years. The Agreement further provides that, in
connection with the termination of his employment following a change in control, the Company will pay Mr. Simanson a
gross-up payment equal to the amount of any excise taxes (plus the applicable federal and state income and other taxes
due on such gross-up payment) payable by Mr. Simanson if the aggregate value of the salary continuance benefit and
related health benefits exceeds the threshold amount that triggers the excise tax for federal tax purposes. In order
to avoid the expense of the excise tax in a situation where Mr. Simanson would realize a nominal benefit, the Company
will be required to make the tax gross-up payment only if the value of the aggregate payments and benefits due Mr.
Simanson exceeds by $25,000 the threshold amount that would avoid triggering the excise tax. If the value of such
payments and benefits is less than the $25,000 differential, the payments and benefits will be reduced to the extent

amount determined by the Company for financial advisory and other services he renders in connection with the
