                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

        The Company has an executive  severance agreement with Mr. Day providing
that if his employment is terminated (either  voluntarily or involuntarily other
than as a normal  consequence  of death,  disability  or  retirement at a normal
retirement  age) at any time  within  a period  of two  years  from a change  in
control of the Company,  he will receive as compensation for services a lump sum
payment  (subject to any applicable  payroll and other taxes) generally equal to
2.99 times his annual  compensation.  A "change of  control"  shall be deemed to
have taken place if (i) a third  person  acquires  shares of Common  Stock that,
aggregated with shares of Common Stock previously held by such person,  have 30%
or more of the  total  number  of votes  that may be cast  for the  election  of
directors of the  Company;  or (ii) as the result of any cash tender or exchange
offer, merger or other business combination or sale of assets,  shares of Common
Stock are converted into cash or securities of another corporation.

        The Company also has an agreement with Mr. Davis  providing that he will
serve as  Executive  Vice  President of the Company at annual  compensation  and
benefits not less than his last  compensation  package with  Merchants  National
Bank prior to their acquisition.  Additionally, the agreement provides that when
Mr. Davis retires on his seventieth  birthday,  the Company will retain him in a
consulting  capacity  for three  years  and will pay him an annual  fee equal to
fifty percent of his last annual salary.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        During 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries had, and expect to have in
the future,  banking  transactions  with  officers and directors of the Company,
their immediate  families and entities in which they are principal  owners (more
than 10% interest).  The transactions are in the ordinary course of business and
on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and security, as those
prevailing at the same time for comparable  transactions  with others and do not
involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
factors.

        Otis L. O'Connor, Secretary and Director of the Company, is a partner in
Steptoe & Johnson, Charleston, West Virginia, which performed legal services for
the Company in 1995 and is expected to continue to perform  similar  services in
the future.

               COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

        The Company's  executive  officers,  directors and 10%  shareholders are
required under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership  with the  Securities  Exchange  Commission.  Copies of
these reports must also be furnished to City Holding.  Based solely on review of
the copies of such reports  furnished to the Company through the date hereof, or
written representations that no reports were required, the Company believes that
during 1995, all filing requirements  applicable to its officers,  directors and
10% shareholders were met.
