and restated agreement incorporates the terms of the prior agreement and
clarifies the intent of certain provisions of the prior agreement.
AGREEMENT
The Director and the Bank agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
1.1 DEFINITIONS. Whenever used in this Agreement, the following

than the acquisition by a tax-qualified retirement plan
sponsored by the Company or the Bank) of beneficial
ownership, as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of more than 25% of
the outstanding capital stock of the Company or the Bank
entitled to vote for the election of directors ("Voting
Stock");
ii. The commencement by any entity, person, or group (other
than the Company or the Bank, a subsidiary of the

sponsored by the Company or the Bank) of a tender offer
or an exchange offer for more than 25% of the
outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or the Bank;
iii. The effective time of (x) a merger or consolidation of
the Company or the Bank with one or more other
corporations as a result of which the holders of the
outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or the Bank
immediately prior to such merger exercise voting control
over less than 51% of the Voting Stock of the surviving
or resulting corporation, or (y) a transfer of
substantially all of the property of the Company or the
Bank other than to an entity of which the Company or the
Bank owns at least 51% of the Voting Stock; and
iv. At such time that, during any period of two (2)
consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constitute the Board of the Company or the Bank (the "Continuing
Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds
thereof, provided that any individual whose election or nomination for

2.1.1 AMOUNT OF BENEFIT. The benefit under this Section 2.1 is
$500 annually for each year of service and limited to 50% of fees at

2.1.2 PAYMENT OF BENEFIT. The Bank shall pay the benefit to

reasons other than death or Disability, the Bank shall pay to the Director the
benefit described in this Section 2.2.
2.2.1 AMOUNT OF BENEFIT. The benefit under this Section 2.2 is
the benefit determined under Schedule A based on the date of the
Director's Termination of Service. Schedule A shall be adjusted to
reflect any benefit level increases determined by the Board of Directors
under Section 2.1.1 prior to the Directors Termination of Service.
Schedule A is calculated using the interest method of accounting, a
7.50% discount rate, and assuming monthly compounding and monthly
benefit payments.
2.2.2 PAYMENT OF BENEFIT. The Bank shall pay the benefit to
the Director on the first day of each month commencing with the month
following the Director's Early Retirement Date and continuing for 179
additional months.

Director the benefit described in this Section 2.3.
2.3.1 AMOUNT OF BENEFIT. The benefit under this Section 2.3 is

earlier of (a) the Director's recovery from the Disability, or (b) 179
months.
2.4 CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFIT. Upon a Change of Control while the
Director is in the active service of the Bank, the Bank shall pay to the
Director the benefit described in this Section 2.4 in lieu of any other benefit
under this Agreement.
2.4.1 AMOUNT OF BENEFIT. The benefit under this Section 2.4 is
the product of (i) and (ii) multiplied by (iii), where (i) equals $500
and (ii) equals each Year of Service or partial Year of Service of the
Director as of the effective date of the Change in Control (regardless
of whether the Director experiences a Termination of Service), and (iii)
equals 15.
2.4.2 PAYMENT OF BENEFIT. The Bank shall pay the benefit to
the Director in a lump sum no later than the effective date of the
Change of Control. The calculation of the lump sum value shall be made
by assuming (i) the benefit in Section 2.4.1 would have been paid in 180
equal monthly installments commencing on the effective date of the
Change in Control and (ii) a discount rate of 7.5%.

active service of the Bank, the Bank shall pay to the Director's beneficiary the
benefit described in this Section 3.1.
3.1.1 AMOUNT OF BENEFIT. The benefit under Section 3.1 is the
lifetime benefit that would have been paid to the Director under Section

the Beneficiary on the first day of each month commencing with the month

payments have commenced under this Agreement but before receiving all such
payments, the Bank shall pay the remaining benefits to the Director's
beneficiary at the same time and in the same amounts they would have been paid
to the Director had the Director survived.
ARTICLE 4
BENEFICIARIES
4.1 BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS. The Director shall designate a
beneficiary by filing a written designation with the Bank. The Director may
revoke or modify the designation at any time by filing a new designation.
However, designations will only be effective if signed by the Director and
accepted by the Bank during the Director's lifetime. The Director's beneficiary
designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases
the Director, or if the Director names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage
is subsequently dissolved. If the Director dies without a valid beneficiary
designation, all payments shall be made to the Director's surviving spouse, if
any, and if none, to the Director's surviving children and the
6
descendants of any deceased child by right of representation, and if no children
or descendants survive, to the Director's estate.
4.2 FACILITY OF PAYMENT. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a
person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the
disposition of his or her property, the Bank may pay such benefit to the
guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such
minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Bank may require proof of
incompetency, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to
distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the
Bank from all liability with respect to such benefit.
ARTICLE 5
GENERAL LIMITATIONS
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement:
5.1 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. If the Bank terminates the Director's
service for:
5.1.1 Gross negligence or gross neglect of duties;
5.1.2 Commission of a felony or of a gross misdemeanor
involving moral turpitude; or
5.1.3 Fraud, disloyalty, dishonesty or willful violation of
any law or significant Bank policy committed in connection with the
Director's service and resulting in an adverse financial effect on the
Bank.
5.2 SUICIDE. No benefits shall be payable if the Director commits
suicide within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the Director
has made any material misstatement of fact on any application for life insurance
purchased by the Bank.
7
ARTICLE 6
CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
6.1 CLAIMS PROCEDURE. The Bank shall notify the Director's
beneficiary in writing, within ninety (90) days of his or her written
application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for
benefits under the Agreement. If the Bank determines that the beneficiary is not
eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth (1) the
specific reasons for such denial, (2) a specific reference to the provisions of
the Agreement on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional
information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim,
and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of the Agreement's
claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be
taken if the beneficiary wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Bank
determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to
make a decision, the Bank shall notify the beneficiary of the special
circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may
extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period.
6.2 REVIEW PROCEDURE. If the beneficiary is determined by the Bank
not to be eligible for benefits, or if the beneficiary believes that he or she
is entitled to greater or different benefits, the beneficiary shall have the
opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Bank by filing a petition for
review with the Bank within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice issued
by the Bank. Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the
beneficiary believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different
benefits. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Bank of the petition, the
Bank shall afford the beneficiary (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to
present his or her position to the Bank orally or in writing, and the
beneficiary (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents.
The Bank shall notify the beneficiary of its decision in writing within the
sixty-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the beneficiary and the specific
provisions of the Agreement on which the decision is based. If because of the
need for a hearing, the sixty-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be
deferred for up to another sixty-day period at the election of the Bank, but
notice of this deferral shall be given to the beneficiary.
8
ARTICLE 7
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
The Bank may amend or terminate this Agreement at any time if, pursuant
to legislative, judicial or regulatory action, continuation of the Agreement
would (i) cause benefits to be taxable to the Director prior to actual receipt,
or (ii) result in significant financial penalties or other significantly
detrimental ramifications to the Bank (other than the financial impact of paying
the benefits). In the event of any such amendment or termination, the Director
shall be 100% vested in the benefit determined under Schedule A.
ARTICLE 8
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall bind the Director and the
Bank, and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and
transferees.
8.2 NO GUARANTY OF EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement is not a contract for
services. It does not give the Director the right to remain a director of the
Bank, nor does it interfere with the Shareholders' rights to replace the
Director. It also does not require the Director to remain a director nor
interfere with the Director's right to terminate service at any time.
8.3 NON-TRANSFERABILITY. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be
sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.
8.4 TAX WITHHOLDING. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are
required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.
8.5 APPLICABLE LAW. The Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be
governed by the laws of Ohio, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the
United States of America.
9
8.6 UNFUNDED ARRANGEMENT. The Director and beneficiary are general
unsecured creditors of the Bank for the payment of benefits under this
Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to pay such
benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or
garnishment by creditors. Any insurance the Director's life is a general asset
of the Bank to which the Director and beneficiary have no preferred or secured
claim.
10
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Director and a duly authorized Bank officer have
signed this Agreement.
