          3.1.1  Amount of Benefit.  The annual benefit under this Section 3.1
     is the Normal Retirement Benefit described in Section 2.1.1.

          3.1.2  Payment of Benefit.  The Company shall pay the annual benefit
     to the Director's beneficiary in 12 equal monthly installments payable on

     beneficiary for 15 years.

     3.2  Death During Benefit Period.  If the Director dies after benefit
payments have commenced under this Agreement but before receiving all such
payments, the Company shall pay the remaining benefits to the Director's
beneficiary at the same time and in the same amounts they would have been paid

                                   Article 4
                                 Beneficiaries

     4.1  Beneficiary Designations.  The Director shall designate a beneficiary
by filing a written designation with the Company.  The Director may revoke or
modify the designation at any time by filing a new designation.  However,
designations will only be effective if signed by the Director and accepted by
the Company during the Director's lifetime.  The Director's beneficiary
designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases
the Director, or if the Director names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage
is subsequently dissolved.  If the Director dies without a valid beneficiary
designation, all payments shall be made to the Director's surviving spouse, if
any, and if none, to the Director's surviving children and the descendants of
any deceased child by right of representation, and if no children or descendants
survive, to the Director's estate.

     4.2  Facility of Payment.  If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person
declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of
his or her property, the Company may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal
representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent
person or incapable person.  The Company may require proof of incompetence,
minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the
benefit.  Such distribution shall completely discharge the Company from all
liability with respect to such benefit.

                                   Article 5
                              General Limitations

     5.1  Excess Parachute Payment.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not pay any benefit under this
Agreement to the extent the benefit would be an excess parachute payment under
Section 280G of the Code.

     5.2  Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not pay any benefit under this
Agreement if the Company terminates the Director's service for:

     (a)  Gross negligence or gross neglect of duties;

     (b)  Commission of a felony or of a gross misdemeanor involving moral
          turpitude; or
<PAGE>

     (c)  Fraud, disloyalty, dishonesty or willful violation of any law or
          significant Company policy committed in connection with the Director's
          service and resulting in an adverse financial effect on the Company.

     5.4  Suicide.  No benefits shall be payable if the Director commits suicide
within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the Director has made
any material misstatement of fact on any application for life insurance
purchased by the Company.

                                   Article 6
                         Claims and Review Procedures

     6.1  Claims Procedure.  The Company shall notify the Director's beneficiary
in writing, within ninety (90) days of his or her written application for
benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the
Agreement. If the Company determines that the beneficiary is not eligible for
benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth (1) the specific reasons
for such denial, (2) a specific reference to the provisions of the Agreement on
which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional information or
material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a
description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of the Agreement's
claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be
taken if the beneficiary wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Company
determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to
make a decision, the Company shall notify the beneficiary of the special
circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may
extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period.

     6.2  Review Procedure.  If the beneficiary is determined by the Company
not to be eligible for benefits, or if the beneficiary believes that he or she
is entitled to greater or different benefits, the beneficiary shall have the
opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Company by filing a petition for
review with the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice
issued by the Company.  Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the
beneficiary believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different
benefits.  Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the petition,
the Company shall afford the beneficiary (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to
present his or her position to the Company orally or in writing, and the
beneficiary (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents.
The Company shall notify the beneficiary of its decision in writing within the
sixty-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the beneficiary and the specific
provisions of the Agreement on which the decision is based.  If, because of the
need for a hearing, the sixty-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be
deferred for up to another sixty-day period at the election of the Company, but
notice of this deferral shall be given to the beneficiary.

                                   Article 7
                          Amendments and Termination

     7.1  This Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written
agreement signed by the Company and the Director.

     7.2  Notwithstanding Section 7.1, the Company may amend or terminate this
Agreement at any time if, pursuant to legislative, judicial or regulatory
action, continuation of the Agreement would (i) cause benefits to be taxable to
the Director prior to actual receipt, or (ii) result in significant financial
penalties or other significantly detrimental ramifications to the Company (other
than the financial impact of paying the benefits).  In the event of any such
amendment or termination, the Director shall be 100 percent vested in the
Accrual Balance under Schedule A.

                                   Article 8
                                 Miscellaneous

     8.1  Binding Effect.  The Bank/Company expressly agrees that it shall not
merge or consolidate into or with another bank/company or sell substantially all
of its assets to another bank/company, firm or person until such bank/company
firm or person expressly agrees, in writing, to assume and discharge the duties
and obligations of the Bank/Company under this agreement.  This agreement shall
be binding upon the parties hereto, their successors, beneficiary(ies), heirs
and personal representatives.
<PAGE>

     8.2  No Guarantee of Employment.  This Agreement is not a contract for
services.  It does not give the Director the right to remain a director of the
Company, nor does it interfere with the Shareholders' rights to replace the
Director.  It also does not require the Director to remain a director nor
interfere with the Director's right to terminate service at any time.

     8.3  Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

     8.4  Tax Withholding.  The Company shall withhold any taxes that are
required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.

     8.5  Applicable Law.  The Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be
governed by the laws of Ohio, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the
United States of America.

     8.6  Unfunded Arrangement.  The Director and beneficiary are general
unsecured creditors of the Company for the payment of benefits under this
Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Company to pay such
benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or
garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Director's life is a general
asset of the Company to which the Director and beneficiary have no preferred or
secured claim.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Director and the Company have signed this
Agreement.
