This Second Amended Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement (this “Agreement”) is
entered into as of this third day of December, 2008 by
and between The Cortland Savings and Banking Company, an Ohio-chartered commercial bank (the
“Bank”), and Marlene J. Lenio, Vice President of the Bank (the “Executive”). This Agreement shall
append the Split Dollar Policy Endorsement entered into on even date herewith or as subsequently
amended, by and between the aforementioned parties.



Whereas, to encourage the Executive to remain a Bank employee, the Bank and the
Executive entered into an Amended Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement effective as of September
9, 2002, providing for division of the death proceeds of a life insurance policy or policies on the
Executive’s life,



Whereas, the Bank and the Executive are entering into a Second Amended Salary
Continuation Agreement effective as of the date hereof, providing for specified retirement benefits
and amending and restating in its entirety the Amended Salary Continuation Agreement, which also
was entered into effective as of September 9, 2002, and



Whereas, the Bank and the Executive intend that this Second Amended Split Dollar
Agreement and Endorsement shall be attached as Addendum A to the Second Amended Salary Continuation
Agreement, amending and restating in its entirety the Amended Split Dollar Agreement and
Endorsement.



Now Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

Article 2

Policy Ownership/Interests




2.1 Bank Ownership. The Bank is the sole owner of the Policy and shall have the right to
exercise all incidents of ownership. The Bank shall be the beneficiary of the remaining death
proceeds of the Policy after the Executive’s interest is paid according to section 2.2 below.



2.2 Death Benefit. Provided the Executive’s death occurs both before the Executive’s
Separation from Service and before the Executive attains age 65, at the Executive’s death the
Executive’s beneficiary designated in accordance with the Split Dollar Policy Endorsement shall be
entitled to Policy proceeds in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 100% of the Net Death Proceeds
or (y) $109,001 (the lesser of the amounts specified in clauses (x) and (y) being referred to in
this Agreement as the “Executive’s Interest”). The Executive’s Interest shall be extinguished at
the earlier of the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or the date the Executive

Agreement for the Executive’s death occurring thereafter. The Executive shall have the right to
designate the beneficiary of the Executive’s Interest.



2.3 Option to Purchase. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Bank shall not sell,
surrender, or transfer ownership of the Policy without first giving the Executive or the
Executive’s transferee the option to purchase the Policy for a period of 60 days from written
notice of such intention. The purchase price shall be an amount equal to the cash surrender value
of the Policy.



2.4 Comparable Coverage. The Bank may replace the Policy with a comparable insurance policy
to cover the benefit provided under this Agreement, in which case the Bank and the Executive shall
execute a new Split-Dollar Policy Endorsement for the comparable insurance policy.



2.5 Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 Exchanges. The Executive recognizes and agrees that
the Bank may after this Agreement is adopted wish to exchange the Policy of life insurance on the
Executive’s life for another contract of life insurance insuring the Executive’s life. Provided
that the Policy is replaced (or intended to be replaced) with a comparable policy of life
insurance, the Executive agrees to provide medical information and cooperate with medical
insurance-related testing required by a prospective insurer for implementing the Policy or, if
necessary, for modifying or updating to a comparable insurer.



Article 3

Premiums





3.1 Premium Payment. The Bank shall pay any premiums due on the Policy.



3.2 Economic Benefit. The Administrator shall annually determine the economic benefit
attributable to the Executive based on the life insurance premium factor for the Executive’s age
multiplied by the aggregate death benefit payable to the Executive’s beneficiary. The “life
insurance premium factor” is the minimum factor applicable under guidance published pursuant to
Treasury Reg. section 1.61-22(d)(3)(ii) or any subsequent authority.

basis by adding the economic benefit to the Executive’s W-2, or if applicable, Form 1099.

no further interest in this Agreement.
