ITEM 5.02  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
           ------------------------------------------------------------------
           APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENT OF CERTAIN
           --------------------------------------------------------------------
           OFFICERS
           --------

      (e) Effective May 19, 2009, PVF Capital Corp. (the "Company"), Park View
Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and John R. Male entered into an Amendment to
the Amended and Restated Severance Agreement (the "Amendment"), which Amendment
amends the parties' Amended and Restated Severance Agreement (the "Severance
Agreement"). The Amendment:

      (1) provides for the automatic renewal of the Severance Agreement for one
year beyond the Severance Agreement's then effective expiration date commencing
on October 29, 2009 and continuing on each October 29th thereafter until Mr.
Male reaches the age of 65;

      (2) requires a vote of a supermajority of the Boards of Directors of the
Company and the Bank followed by a thirty-day period to cure any facts or
circumstances constituting "Cause," as defined in the Severance Agreement,
before Mr. Male could be terminated for Cause;

      (3) provides that (i) the amount payable to Mr. Male under the Severance
Agreement as a result of involuntary termination other than for Cause within one
year following a "Change in Control," as defined in the Severance Agreement or
termination for "Good Reason," as defined in the Severance Agreement, shall be
no less than the amount he would have been paid under such circumstances had he
elected to terminate employment for "Good Reason" as of January 29, 2009, and
(ii) the amount of the benefits to be paid to Mr. Male under the Park View
Federal Savings Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as Amended and
Restated (the "SERP") as a result of involuntary termination other than for
Cause within one year following a Change in Control or termination for Good
Reason shall be no less than the amount he would have been paid under the SERP
had he been terminated for Good Reason, as defined in the SERP, as of January
29, 2009, and he fully vested in the SERP as of such date; and

      (4) revised the Severance Agreement to pay a "gross-up payment" to Mr.
Male in the event a payment made to him under the Severance Agreement violates
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The
gross-up payment would be an amount sufficient to pay any additional tax imposed
under Section 409A of the Code, after being reduced for all income taxes,
employment taxes and any applicable additional excise taxes.

       Effective May 19, 2009, the Bank and Mr. Male also entered into an
amendment to the SERP (the "SERP Amendment"). The SERP Amendment:

      (1) requires a vote of a supermajority of the Boards of Directors of the
Company and the Bank followed by a thirty-day period to cure any facts or
circumstances constituting "Cause," as defined in the SERP, before Mr. Male
could be terminated for Cause; and

      (2) revised the SERP to pay a "gross-up payment" to Mr. Male in the event
a payment made to him under the SERP violates Section 409A of the Code. The
gross-up payment would be an amount sufficient to pay any additional tax imposed
under Section 409A of the Code, after being reduced for all income taxes,
employment taxes and any applicable additional excise taxes.

      The foregoing summary of the Amendment and the SERP Amendment is not
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of
such documents, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Form 8-K and
which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
