                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                            FOR NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS

THIS AGREEMENT, made this [DATE] day of [MONTH], [YEAR], by and between
CINCINNATI FINANCIAL CORPORATION, an Ohio Corporation, 6200 South Gilmore Road,
Fairfield, Ohio 45014 (hereafter called "CFC") and [OPTIONEE NAME], an employee
of CFC or one of its affiliates (hereinafter called the "Employee") residing at:
[OPTIONEE_ADDRESS], [OPTIONEE_CITY], [OPTIONEE_STATE] [OPTIONEE_ZIP]

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of CFC is of the opinion that the interests of
CFC will be advanced by enabling key employees of CFC and its affiliates, upon
whose judgement, initiative and efforts CFC is largely dependent for the
successful conduct of its business, to acquire shares or additional shares of
CFC's Stock; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of CFC has established Stock Option Plan Number
VI for employees of CFC and its affiliated companies;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable considerations the parties
hereto herby enter into this Stock Option Agreement (hereinafter called the
"Option") as follows:

      1.    CFC hereby grants to the Employee the right and option to purchase
            up to [OPTIONS_GRANTED] shares of the presently authorized but
            unissued Common Stock of CFC at the purchase price of
            $[OPTION_PRICE] per share. This is a Non-Qualified option grant and
            subject to applicable payroll taxes at the time of exercise. No
            partial exercise of this Option may be for less than 25 whole shares
            or the number of shares remaining subject to the Option, whichever
            is smaller.

      2.    Except in cases of retirement or death of Employee, this Option
            shall be exercisable only in accordance with the following schedule.

            (1)   After the expiration of one year of continuous employment with
                  CFC or an affiliate of CFC immediately following the date of
                  grant, this Option shall be exercisable to the extent of
                  one-third of the number of shares originally subject hereto;

            (2)   After the expiration of two years of continuous employment
                  with CFC or an affiliate of CFC immediately following the date
                  of grant, this Option shall be exercisable to the extent of
                  two-thirds of the number of shares originally subject hereto,
                  less the number of shares previously purchased pursuant
                  hereto; and

            (3)   After the expiration of three years of continuous employment
                  with CFC or an affiliate of CFC following the date of grant,
                  this Option shall be exercisable in full.

Upon termination of employment of the Employee prior to the effective date of
exercise of this Option, the unexercised portion hereof shall terminate unless
such termination of employment is due to (i) retirement with the approval of the
Board of Directors of CFC for disability or (ii) retirement due to attainment of
retirement age (in either of which events the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors shall have discretion to permit any unmatured installments to
be accelerated and the Option shall thereupon be exercisable in full). The time
within which CFC must receive the notice of exercise and payment shall be 90
days after the date of termination of employment (except at the sole option of
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, the last day for receipt
of notice of exercise may be delayed until the original expiration date of this
Option); or (iii) death of the employee (in which event the unmatured
installments of this Option shall be accelerated and exercisable and the time
within which CFC must receive the notice of exercise and payment shall be six
months after the date of death).

3.    Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2 hereof, this Option can be
      exercised only if the Employee is in the employment of CFC or one of its
      affiliates on the effective date of exercise.

<PAGE>


4.    In order to exercise this Option or any part thereof, the Employee or
      other person having the right to exercise this Option shall give written
      notice to CFC at its principal place of business, which notice shall
      indicate the number of whole shares purchased, and shall be accompanied by
      payment in full for the number of shares to be purchased. The payment may
      be cash or through transfer of free and clear shares of CFC valued at the
      current market value on the date of transfer or by combination of both
      cash and shares. Exercise of the Non-Qualified Option shall be effective
      on the date of receipt by CFC of the written notice and payment (the
      "effective date of exercise"). The effective date of the exercise of this
      Option must be within ten (10) years from the date hereof.

5.    Neither the Employee nor his legal representative, legatee or distributee,
      shall be, or deemed to be, the holder of any shares subject to this
      Option, unless and until the exercise of the Option has become effective
      and a certificate has been issued by the company for the shares so
      purchased.

6.    The rights and privileges conferred by this Option shall not be
      transferred except by Will or by the laws of descent and distribution, in
      which event the notice of the exercise required under Section 4 must be
      properly executed by the deceased Employee's legal representative or by
      person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the
      death of the Employee. During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option may
      be exercised only by the Employee.

7.    In the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
      stock dividend, or other change in corporate structure or capitalization
      affecting CFC's stock, such appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
      number of shares to which this Option applies and also in the Option price
      of said shares as may be determined by the Compensation Committee of the
      Board of Directors.

8.    This option shall not be exercisable except for shares the sale of which
      by the Company complies with applicable securities laws at the time of
      sale.

9.    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
      parties hereto and any successors to the business of CFC, but neither this
      Option nor any rights hereunder shall be assignable by the Employee. The
      Employee agrees by acceptance of this option to be bound by the terms and
      restrictions of the Stock Option Plan VI.

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                             FOR INCENTIVE OPTIONS

THIS AGREEMENT, made this [DATE] day of [MONTH], [YEAR], by and between
CINCINNATI FINANCIAL CORPORATION, an Ohio Corporation, 6200 South Gilmore Road,
Fairfield, Ohio 45014 (hereafter called "CFC") and [OPTIONEE NAME], an employee
of CFC or one of its affiliates (hereinafter called the "Employee") residing at:
[OPTIONEE_ADDRESS], [OPTIONEE_CITY], [OPTIONEE_STATE] [OPTIONEE_ZIP]

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of CFC is of the opinion that the interests of
CFC will be advanced by enabling key employees of CFC and its affiliates, upon
whose judgement, initiative and efforts CFC is largely dependent for the
successful conduct of its business, to acquire shares or additional shares of
CFC's Stock; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of CFC has established Stock Option Plan Number
VI for employees of CFC and its affiliated companies;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable considerations the parties
hereto herby enter into this Stock Option Agreement (hereinafter called the
"Option") as follows:

      1.    CFC hereby grants to the Employee the right and option to purchase
            up to [OPTIONS_GRANTED] shares of the presently authorized but
            unissued Common Stock of CFC at the purchase price of
            $[OPTION_PRICE] per share. No partial exercise of this Option may be
            for less than 25 whole shares or the number of shares remaining
            subject to the Option, whichever is smaller.

      2.    Except in cases of retirement or death of Employee, this Option
            shall be exercisable only in accordance with the following schedule.

            (1)   After the expiration of one year of continuous employment with
                  CFC or an affiliate of CFC immediately following the date of
                  grant, this Option shall be exercisable to the extent of
                  one-third of the number of shares originally subject hereto;

            (2)   After the expiration of two years of continuous employment
                  with CFC or an affiliate of CFC immediately following the date
                  of grant, this Option shall be exercisable to the extent of
                  two-thirds of the number of shares originally subject hereto,
                  less the number of shares previously purchased pursuant
                  hereto; and

            (3)   After the expiration of three years of continuous employment
                  with CFC or an affiliate of CFC following the date of grant,
                  this Option shall be exercisable in full.

Upon termination of employment of the Employee prior to the effective date of
exercise of this Option, the unexercised portion hereof shall terminate unless
such termination of employment is due to (i) retirement with the approval of the
Board of Directors of CFC for disability or (ii) retirement on the attainment of
age 65 or 35 years of service, whichever occurs first or (iii) death of the
Employee. In each of these events, any unmatured installments shall be
accelerated and the Option shall be exercisable in full. In the cases of
retirement due to disability, attainment of age 65 or having completed 35 years
of service, CFC must receive notice of exercise and payment within ninety (90)
days after the date of termination of employment. In the event of death, CFC
must receive the notice of exercise and payment within six (6) months after the
date of death.

3.    Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2 hereof, this Option can be
      exercised only if the Employee is in the employment of CFC or one of its
      affiliates on the effective date of exercise.

<PAGE>


4.    In order to exercise all or any part of this Option, the Employee or
      other person having the right to exercise this Option shall give written
      notice to CFC at its principal place of business. The notice shall
      indicate the number of whole shares to be purchased and shall be
      accompanied by payment in full in cash. The exercise of this Option shall
      be effective upon the 30th day after receipt by CFC of such written
      notice and payment ("effective date of exercise"), at which time the
      Employee or the person entitled to receive shares issuable upon exercise,
      shall be issued a certificate of stock representing the number of
      shares purchased. If for any reason (such as termination of employment
      during the 30-day waiting period for reasons other that those referred to
      in Paragraph 2 above), the exercise of the Option does not become
      effective, CFC shall refund only the amount paid for the shares. In any
      event, the effective date of the exercise of this Option must be within
      10 years from the date of this Option.

5.    In order to receive tax benefits of an Incentive Stock Option, the Option
      must be exercised during employment or within three (3) months after
      termination of employment (for the reason referred to in paragraph 2
      above) as an employee by CFC or one of its subsidiaries. The stock
      purchased pursuant to this Option must be held for a minimum of one (1)
      year from the date of purchase and two (2) years form the date of this
      Option Agreement.

6.    The rights and privileges conferred by this Option shall not be
      transferred except by Will or by the laws of descent and distribution, in
      which event the notice of the exercise required under Section 4 must be
      properly executed by the deceased Employee's legal representative or by
      person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the
      death of the Employee. During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option may
      be exercised only by the Employee.

7.    In the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
      stock dividend, or other change in corporate structure or capitalization
      affecting CFC's stock, such appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
      number of shares to which this Option applies and also in the Option price
      of said shares as may be determined by the Compensation Committee of the
      Board of Directors.

8.    This option shall not be exercisable except for shares the sale of which
      by the Company complies with applicable securities laws at the time of
      sale.

9.    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
      parties hereto and any successors to the business of CFC, but neither this
      Option nor any rights hereunder shall be assignable by the Employee. The
      Employee agrees by acceptance of this option to be bound by the terms and
      restrictions of the Stock Option Plan VI.
