"Continuing Directors") who at the beginning of such period constitute
the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company (the "Existing
Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds
4

election as a member of the Existing Board was approved by a vote of at
least two-thirds of the Continuing Directors then in office shall be

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii)
hereof, ownership or control of the Bank by the Company itself shall

only, the term "person" refers to an individual or a corporation,

proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of entity
not specifically listed herein.

Executive attained the stated age.
ARTICLE III

in good faith.
(b) The construction and interpretation by the Committee of any provisions
of this Plan shall be final and conclusive. The Committee shall
determine, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan,
the Executives who shall participate in the Plan (sometimes hereinafter
called "Participants").
6
(c) The Committee may, at its discretion, delegate its duties to the
outside auditors of the Bank, but may not delegate its authority to
apply or interpret the provisions of this Plan or to make
determinations specified in Section (b) of this Article III.
ARTICLE IV
ESTABLISHMENT OF PHANTOM STOCK ACCOUNT
The Bank shall set up an appropriate record (hereinafter called the
"Phantom Stock Account") in the name of each Executive under the Plan, and shall
record all activities of this agreement in the respective Phantom Stock Accounts
of each Executive.
ARTICLE V
CREDITS TO ACCOUNTS OF EXECUTIVES
(a) As of December 31st of each year that the Executive is a full-time
employee of the Bank, the Bank shall credit a number of Phantom Shares
of the Holding Company to the account of each Executive. The number of
Phantom Shares to be credited each year shall be determined by dividing
the Bank's contribution by the fair market value of the Holding
Company's Common Stock as of the date of crediting (December 31). The
contribution by the Bank each year shall be a percentage of the
Executive's salary as determined by the return on equity of the Bank
for the year pursuant to a schedule to be established by the Committee
no later than the close of the first quarter of that year.
The ultimate computation of the number of Phantom Shares to be credited
each year will be determined by interpolation for performance between
the three levels established (i.e., threshold, target, and
distinguished), and return on equity will be calculated after projected
expense attributable to the incentive pay out. Determination of the
number of Phantom Shares shall be solely by the Committee and shall be
final and binding on all parties. Provided, however, if the ROE is
below the threshold for the year, then no crediting based on a
percentage of pay for the year shall be made.
(b) So long as this Plan remains in effect, the Bank shall credit each
Participant's account in the special ledger throughout the term of his
employment with the Bank. Phantom Shares equivalent to dividends
payable in cash or property paid from time to time on issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock, so that the amount of each such
credit will be equivalent to dividends which the Participant would have
received had he been the owner of the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the number of Phantom Shares in his account. No such credit
shall be made with respect to any dividend paid after a Participant's
termination of employment or after any date of termination of this
Plan, even though the record date is prior thereto.
(c) In the event of any stock dividend on the Common Stock or any split-up
or combination of shares of the Common Stock, appropriate adjustments
shall be made by the Committee
7
in the aggregate number of Phantom Shares in the account of the
Participant. However, the Committee shall not be required to establish
any fractional Phantom Shares.
(d) On or before January 31st of each year, the Bank shall provide to each
Executive a detail of his Phantom Share Account as of December 31 of
the previous year. This detail shall include the number of Phantom
Shares in the Executive's account, and the Net Vested Account Value.
ARTICLE VI
VESTING
So long as the Executive remains an employee of the Bank, he shall
continue to advance in the vesting schedule attached as Schedule A. Upon the
Executive's termination of employment with the Bank, he shall be permanently
vested according to the percentage given on Schedule A on the same line as his
age on the date of his termination of employment. Provided, however, if the
Executive, while in the employ of the Bank, dies or becomes permanently
disabled, he shall become permanently 100% vested. Moreover, if a Change in
Control shall occur while the Executive remains in the employ of the Bank, the
Executive shall also become permanently 100% vested.
ARTICLE VII
PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS
(a) Upon termination of any Participant's employment with the Bank, there
shall be paid to him, or in the event of his death to his beneficiary
or beneficiaries designated under Section (b) of this Article VII, an
amount equal to the Net Vested Account Value of such Participant,
determined in accordance with the valuation formula set forth in
Article II, Section (j) as of the date of termination of employment of
such Participant. Such amounts will be reduced by any amounts required
by law to be withheld by the Bank. Such amounts with interest at the
rate of eight percent (8%) per annum shall be distributed in the manner
elected by the Executive on an Election Form accepted by the Bank. The
Executive may elect (1) to begin receiving distributions from his
account on either the first day of the second month after termination
of service with the Bank or the first day of second month of the
calendar year immediately after termination of service with the Bank
and (2) to receive his benefits in either a lump sum or in
substantially equal monthly installments over a period up to 15 years.
In order to be effective with respect to the timing of distributions,
the Executive's Election Form must be submitted to the Bank either more
than one year before the date on which the Executive's service with the
Bank terminates for any reason or within 30 days of the Plan's
Effective Date (or more than 90 days before a Change in Control,
provided the Executive files a duly executed "Special Election of
Payment Method after a Change in Control" in the form attached hereto
as Schedule "B"). In the absence of a validly completed Election Form,
the Executive's account shall be paid in 60 substantially
8
equal monthly payments beginning on the first day of the second month
after termination of service with the Bank.
(b) Each person shall file an Election Form with the Bank's Employee
Benefits Plan Administrator designating one or more beneficiaries to
whom payments otherwise due the Executive shall be made in the event of
his death while in the employ of the Bank or after termination
therefrom. The beneficiary or beneficiaries so designated shall be one
or more persons or entities, including a trust or estate, other than
his creditors, or the creditors of his estate, or an entity in which
any of the foregoing may have an interest. The Executive shall have the
right to change the beneficiary or beneficiaries from time to time
whether before or after termination of employment; provided, however,
that any change shall not become effective until an Election Form is
received by the Employee Benefits Plan Administrator.
If the Executive dies before receiving all amounts payable of his Net
Vested Account Value, then the remaining balance of the Executive's
account shall be distributed in a lump sum to the Executive's
designated beneficiary (or estate, in the absence of a validly named or
living beneficiary) as soon as administratively practicable following
the Executive's death; provided that the Executive may direct on an
Election Form that any death benefits payable pursuant to this
Agreement shall instead be distributed over a distribution period that
effectuates the monthly installment payments selected by the Executive
(with payments made as though the Executive survived to collect all
payments, and terminated service on the date of his death if payments
had not previously begun).
(c) At the time of the college education of a child of an Executive, an
amount of money equal to the actual expenses associated with such
child's education may, upon application of the Executive, be disbursed
for such purposes by the Committee, in the Committee's sole discretion,
from the Net Vested Account Value of the Executive's Phantom Stock
Account.
ARTICLE VIII
RESTRICTIONS UPON FUNDING
(a) The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any
fund or money with which to pay its obligations under this Agreement.
The Executive, his beneficiaries or any successor in interest to him
shall be and remain simply a general creditor of the Bank in the same
manner as any other creditor having a general claim for matured and
unpaid compensation.
(b) Subject to subsection (d) hereof, the Bank reserves the absolute right
in its sole discretion to either fund the obligations undertaken by
this Agreement or to refrain from funding the same and to determine the
extent, nature, and method of such funding. Should the Bank elect to
fund this Agreement, in whole or in part, through the purchase of life
insurance, mutual funds, disability policies or annuities, the Bank
reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such
funding at any time, in whole or in part. At no time
9
shall Executive be deemed to have any lien nor right, title or interest
in or to any specific funding investment or to any assets of the Bank.
(c) If Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity
policy upon the life of Executive, then Executive shall assist the Bank
by freely submitting to a physical exam and supplying such additional
information necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities.
(d) Not later than ten business days before the closing date of a Change in
Control, the Bank shall --
(i) deposit in a grantor trust (the "Trust") that is designed in
accordance with Revenue Procedure 92-64 and has a trustee independent
of the Bank and the Company an amount equal to the Change-in-Control
Account Value, unless the Executive has previously provided a written
release of any claims under this Agreement, and
(ii) provide the trustee of the Trust with a written direction to hold
said amount and any investment return thereon in a segregated account
for the benefit of the Executive, and to follow the payment schedule to
be provided by the Executive, based on this Agreement and the
Executive's Election Form, as to the payment of amounts from the Trust.
Upon the Trust's final payment of all amounts due under this Section
(d) of Article VIII, the trustee of the Trust shall pay to the Bank the
entire balance remaining in the segregated account maintained for the
benefit of the Executive. The Executive shall thereafter have no
further interest in the Trust.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Neither Executive, his widow nor any other beneficiary under this
Agreement shall have any power or right to transfer, assign,
anticipate, hypothecate, mortgage, commute, modify or otherwise
encumber in advance any of the benefits payable hereunder, nor shall
any of said benefits be subject to seizure for the payment of any
debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Executive
or his beneficiary, nor be transferable by operation of law in the
event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise. In the event Executive or
any beneficiary attempts assignment, commutation, hypothecation,
transfer or disposal of the benefits hereunder, the Bank's liabilities
shall forthwith cease and terminate. However, in such event, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, make payments
of amounts which would otherwise be due the Executive hereunder, to
such Executive.
(b) The Bank expressly agrees that it shall not merge or consolidate into
or with another Bank or sell substantially all of its assets to another
corporation, firm or person until such corporation, firm or person
expressly agrees, in writing, to assume and discharge the duties and
obligations of the Bank under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be
10
binding upon the parties hereto, their successors, beneficiaries, heirs
and personal representatives.
(c) It is agreed by and between the parties hereto that, during the
lifetime of the Executive, this Agreement may be amended or revoked at
any time or times, in whole or in part, by the mutual written assent of
the Executive and the Bank.
(d) Whenever in this Agreement words are used in the masculine or neuter
gender, they shall be read and construed as in the masculine, feminine
or neuter gender, whenever they should so apply.
(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the right of the
Executive to participate in or be covered by any qualified or
non-qualified pension, profit sharing, group, bonus or other
supplemental compensation or fringe benefit plan constituting a part of
the Bank's existing or future compensation structure.
(f) Headings and Subheadings in this Agreement are inserted for reference
and convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
(g) The validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of Ohio.
ARTICLE X
ERISA PROVISIONS
(a) The "Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator" of this Plan shall be the
Bank's Employee Benefits Plan Administrator until his resignation or
removal by the Committee. As named Fiduciary and Administrator, the
Employee Benefits Plan Administrator shall be responsible for the
management, control and administration of the Executive Phantom Stock
Bonus Plan as established herein. He may delegate to others certain
aspects of the management and operation responsibilities of the Plan
including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial
duties to qualified individuals.
(b) In the event that benefits under this Plan Agreement are not paid to
the Executive (or to his beneficiary in the case of the Executive's
death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such
benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Named Fiduciary and
Plan Administrator named above within sixty (60) days from the date
payments are refused. The Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator and
the Bank shall review the written claim and if the claim is denied, in
whole or in part, they shall provide in writing within ninety (90) days
of receipt of such claim their specific reasons for such denial,
reference to the provisions of this Agreement upon which the denial is
based and any additional material or information necessary to perfect
the claim. Such written notice shall further indicate the additional
steps to be taken by claimants for a further review of the claim denial
if the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator fails to take any actions
within the aforesaid ninety-day period.
11
If claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the Named
Fiduciary and Plan Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days of
the first claim denial. Claimants may review the Plan Agreement or any
documents relating thereto and submit any written issues and comments
they may feel appropriate. In its sole discretion, the Named Fiduciary
and Plan Administrator shall then review the second claim and provide a
written decision within sixty (60) days of receipt of such claim. This
decision shall likewise state the specific reasons for the decision,
and shall include reference to specific provisions of the Plan
Agreement upon which the decision is based.
If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon
completed performance of the Agreement or the meaning and effect of the
terms and conditions thereof, then claimants may submit the dispute to
a Board of Arbitration for final arbitration. Said Board shall consist
of one member selected by the claimant, one member selected by the Bank
and the third member selected by the first two members. The Board shall
operate under any generally recognized set of arbitration rules. The
parties hereto agree that they and their heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns shall be bound by the decision
of such Board with respect to any controversy properly submitted to it
for determination.

In the event that any dispute arises between the Executive and the Bank
as to the terms or interpretation of this Agreement, whether instituted by
formal legal proceedings or otherwise, including any action that the Executive
takes to defend against any action taken by the Bank or the Company, the Bank
shall reimburse the Executive for all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, arising from such dispute, proceedings or actions, provided
that the Executive obtains either a written settlement or a final judgement by a
court of competent jurisdiction substantially in his favor. Such reimbursement
shall be paid within ten days of Executive's furnishing to the Bank written
