include shares deemed owned by such Person through application of this paragraph
(3) but shall not include any other shares of Voting Stock which may be issuable

then outstanding and shall not include any shares of Voting Stock which may be

                  giving effect to the number or percentage




                  of votes entitled to be cast in respect of such shares) in
                  relation to the total number of shares of Voting Stock then

                  applicability or effect of this Article ELEVENTH.

                  (4) A majority of the Continuing Directors then in office
shall have the right to demand that any Person who is reasonably believed to be

                  shares Beneficially Owned by such Person who is reasonably
                  believed to be a Substantial Stockholder and held of record by
                  each such record owner and the number(s) of the stock
                  certificate(s) evidencing such shares; and




                           (C) Any other factual matter relating to the
                  applicability or effect of this Article ELEVENTH as may be
                  reasonably requested of such Person, and such Person shall
                  furnish such information within 10 days after receipt of such
                  demand.

                  (5) Any determination made by the Board of Directors, or by
the Continuing Directors, as the case may be, pursuant to this Article ELEVENTH
in good faith and on the basis of such information and assistance as was then
reasonably available for such purpose shall be conclusive and binding upon the
corporation and its stockholders, including any Substantial Stockholder.

                  (6) Nothing contained in this Article ELEVENTH shall be
construed to relieve any Substantial Stockholder from any fiduciary obligation
imposed by law.

evaluating any offer of another party to make a tender or exchange offer for any
Equity Security of the corporation to merge or consolidate the corporation with
another corporation, or to purchase or otherwise acquire all or a Substantial
Part of the properties and assets of the corporation, or any proposal for the
liquidation or dissolution of the corporation shall, in connection with the
exercise of its judgment in determining what is in the best interests of the
corporation and its stockholders, give due consideration to all relevant
factors, including without limitation:

                  (A) The best interest of the stockholders. For this purpose,
the Directors shall consider, among other factors, not, only the consideration
offered in relation to the then current market price of the outstanding stock of

current estimate of the future value of the corporation as an independent entity
or as the subject of a future transaction; and

                  (B) The best interests of depositors of savings institutions

                  (2) For acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,

                  (3) Under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware, or

                  (4) For any transaction from which the Director derived an
improper personal benefit.

                  If the General Corporation Law of Delaware is amended after
approval by the stockholders of this Article THIRTEENTH to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then
the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as so
amended.

                  Any repeal or modification of this Article THIRTEENTH by the

protection of a Director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal
or modification.

By-Law that provides for the division of the Directors into classes having
staggered terms may be adopted, altered, amended or repealed only by the
stockholders.

                  (2) No By-Law of the corporation shall be adopted, repealed,
altered, amended or rescinded by the stockholders of the corporation except by
the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the Voting Stock entitled to vote
thereon. Any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation which shall
contravene any By-Law in existence on the record date of the meeting of
stockholders at which such amendment is to be voted upon by the stockholders
shall require the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the Voting Stock entitled
to vote thereon.

                  FIFTEENTH:

                  (1) In addition to any requirements of law and any other
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or any resolution or resolutions
of the Board of Directors adopted pursuant to Article FOURTH of the Certificate
of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be
specified by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, any such resolution or
resolutions or otherwise), the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the Voting
Stock shall be required to amend, alter or repeal, or to adopt any provision
inconsistent with, Articles EIGHTH, NINTH, TENTH, TWELFTH, THIRTEENTH,
FOURTEENTH or FIFTEENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, and the affirmative
vote of at least 80% of the Voting Stock, including at least a majority of the
Voting Stock not beneficially owned by a Substantial Stockholder, shall be
required to amend, alter or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with,
Article ELEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation.

                  (2) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph (1) of this Article
FIFTEENTH, the corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal
any provision contained in the Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now
or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred on stockholders
herein are granted subject to this reservation.

by the stockholders of Camco Financial Corporation in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware
and was executed at Cambridge, Ohio on May 26, 1987.
