This Amended and Restated Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefits Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of the 18th day of February, 2008, by and between Park National Corporation ("Park"), and C. DANIEL DELAWDER, an individual ("Executive").

RECITALS

A.           Executive is a valued current or former employee of one of Park's affiliates.

B.            Park desires to retain or reward Executive and to provide for the post-retirement needs of its employees in a responsible manner.

C. Executive and Park previously entered into that certain Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreement effective December 27, 1996 (the "1996 Agreement").

D. Executive and Park now desire to amend and restate the terms of the 1996 Agreement so that, as amended and restated, the terms of this Agreement shall supersede the 1996 Agreement between Executive and Park.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, for and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound hereby, do agree as follows:

1.        Supplemental Retirement Benefits. Park maintains an unfunded retirement plan, the obligations under which shall be reflected on the general ledger of Park (the "Retirement Account"). The Retirement Account shall be an unsecured liability of Park to Executive, payable only as provided herein from the general funds of Park. The Retirement Account is not a deposit or insured by the FDIC and does not constitute a trust account or any other special obligation of Park and does not have priority of payment over any other general obligation of Park.

2.  Payment of Benefits.

a.Full Benefit. If Executive does not experience a separation from service with Park and its affiliates (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations applicable to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code")) (except for such breaks in service prescribed by law, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act) until the Full Vesting Date (as defined in Exhibit A hereto), then commencing upon the Payment Commencement Date (as defined in Exhibit A hereto), Park shall pay to Executive the Full Benefit (as defined in Exhibit A hereto) until the Executive's death, payable annually beginning on the Payment Commencement Date and on the first business day of each anniversary of the Payment Commencement Date and thereafter until the Executive's death.

b.Early Termination. If Executive voluntarily resigns from full-time employment with Park and its affiliates for any reason before the Full Vesting Date, or Park or its affiliates discharges Executive for any reason before the Full Vesting Date, then Executive shall not be entitled to any supplemental retirement benefits provided for in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be terminated by Park without any liability whatsoever.

c.Disability. If Executive becomes Substantially Disabled (as hereinafter defined) while employed by Park and its affiliates, then Park shall pay to Executive either the Full Benefit (if Executive becomes Substantially Disabled on or after the Full Vesting Date) or the Limited Benefit (if Executive becomes Substantially Disabled prior to the Full Vesting Date) annually, until the Executive's death, in accordance with 

subsection (a) above.  If the Limited Benefit applies, Park shall pay to Executive the Limited Benefit (as hereinafter defined) until the Executive's death, payable annually beginning on the Payment Commencement Date, and on each anniversary of the Payment Commencement Date, and thereafter until the Executive's death. For the purposes of this Agreement, the "Limited Benefit" shall be the amount set forth on Exhibit A corresponding to the calendar year in which Executive became Substantially Disabled. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be considered "Substantially Disabled" if Executive (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and health plan covering Park's employees. The determination of whether Executive is "Substantially Disabled" under clause (i) above shall be made by a licensed physician selected by Park or its affiliates.

d.Discharge for Cause. Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and in addition to Section 7, if Executive experiences a separation from service with Park and its affiliates as a result of, or in connection with: (i) Executive's insubordination; (ii) Executive's breach of this Agreement; (iii) any act or omission by Executive which is, or is likely to be, injurious to Park and its affiliates or the business reputation of Park and its affiliates, (iv) Executive's dishonesty, fraud, malfeasance, negligence or misconduct; (v) Executive's failure to satisfactorily perform his duties, to follow the direction (consistent with his duties) of the Chairman, President or the Board of Directors of Park or any other individual to whom Executive reports, or to follow the policies, procedures, and rules of Park and its affiliates; or (vi) Executive's conviction of, or Executive's entry of a plea of guilty or no contest to, a felony or crime involving moral turpitude (any of the foregoing referred to herein as "Cause"), then Executive shall not be entitled to any supplemental retirement benefits provided for in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be terminated by Park without any liability whatsoever. To the extent that, following Executive's Payment Commencement Date or Substantial Disability, the Board of Directors of Park determines that Cause existed to terminate Executive, Executive shall forfeit any right to receive future supplemental retirement benefits provided for in this Agreement, shall return all payments previously made under this Agreement within 30 days, and this Agreement shall terminate.

e.Death of Executive. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the death of Executive and neither Executive nor Executive's estate shall be entitled to any benefits hereunder.

3.Intent of Parties. Park and Executive intend that this Agreement shall primarily provide supplemental retirement benefits to Executive as a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of Park for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as may be amended ("ERISA").
4.ERISA Provisions.

(d) Right to Review. After receiving written notice of the denial of a claim, a claimant or his representative shall be entitled to:

(1)consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment; and

If the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary determines that the extension of time is required, the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary shall furnish to the claimant written notice of the extension before the expiration of the initial sixty (60) day (forty-five (45) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to the Executive becoming Substantially Disabled) period, The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary expects to

(3)Funding by Park

(a) Park shall be under no obligation to set aside, earmark or otherwise segregate any funds with which to pay its obligations under this Agreement. Executive shall be and remain an unsecured general creditor of Park with respect to Park's obligations hereunder. Executive shall have no property interest in the Retirement Account or any other rights with respect thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Park has no obligation whatsoever to purchase or maintain an actual life insurance policy with respect to Executive or otherwise. If Park determines in its sole discretion to purchase a life insurance policy referable to the life of Executive, neither Executive nor Executive's beneficiary shall have any legal or equitable ownership interest in, or lien on, such policy or any other specific funding or any other investment or to any asset of Park. Park, in its sole discretion, may determine the exact nature and method of funding (if any) of the obligations under this Agreement. If Park elects to fund its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, through the purchase of a life insurance policy, mutual funds, disability policy, annuity, or other security, Park reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such method of funding at any time, in whole or in part.

(c) If Park, in its sole discretion, elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy on the life of Executive, Executive shall assist Park, from time to time, promptly upon the request of Park, in obtaining such insurance policy by supplying any information necessary to obtain such policy as well as 
5

submitting to any physical examinations required therefor. Park shall be responsible for the payment of all premiums with respect to any whole life, variable, or universal life insurance, disability or annuity policy purchased in connection with this Agreement unless otherwise expressly agreed.

6.  Change in Control. !fa Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) occurs before Executive experiences a separation from service with the Park and its affiliates, then Executive shall become 100% vested and thus entitled to the Full Benefit upon any subsequent separation from service, other than For Cause, prior to the Full Vesting Date. In such case, the Full Benefit shall be payable to Executive beginning on the Payment Commencement Date.

For purposes of this Agreement, the occurrence of a "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (a) the execution of an agreement for the sale of all, or a material portion, of the assets of Park; (b) the consummation of a merger or recapitalization of Park, or any merger or recapitalization whereby Park is not the surviving entity; or (c) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of that term as it is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of Park by any person, trust, entity or group. The term "person" means an individual other than the Executive, or a corporation, partnership, trust, association, joint venture, pool, syndicate, sole proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of entity not specifically listed herein.

7. Forfeiture of Benefits Due to Misconduct. Except as provided herein, the obligation  of  Park to commence or, if applicable, to continue payment of any benefits hereunder shall cease and all or any remaining payments, as the case may be, shall be forfeited (a) if the Executive breaches any surviving restrictive covenants concerning non-competition, non-solicitation of customers and/or non-solicitation of employees under any employment contract in existence immediately prior to the Executive's separation from service with Park and its affiliates (but only if and to the extent such employment contract contains restrictive covenants that survive separation from service); or (b) if no such employment contract is in existence immediately prior to the effective date of such separation from service, if during the twelve-month period immediately following such effective date, the Executive (i) directly or indirectly solicits any customer of Park and its affiliates, with whom the Executive had material contact within the two-year period immediately preceding such effective date, for the purpose of providing any goods or services relating to the business of providing financial and banking services to individual consumers and businesses; (ii) directly or  indirectly  solicits, recruits or induces any employee of Park and its affiliates to terminate his or her employment relationship  with  Park and/or its affiliates for the purpose of providing financial and banking services to individual consumers and businesses on behalf of the Executive or any third party; or (iii) on his own behalf or on behalf of any third party in the business of providing financial and banking services to individual consumers and businesses, engages in or performs within a fifty­ mile radius of Park's or its affiliate's offices at which the Executive was primarily located immediately prior to the  effective date of such separation from service services which are substantially similar to those which the Executive performed for Park and its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the forfeiture  provisions  of this Section  7 shall not be operative with respect to any conduct on the part of the Executive that first occurs after the effective date of a Change in Control.

8. Employment of Executive: Other Agreements. The benefits provided herein for Executive are supplemental retirement benefits and shall not be deemed to modify, affect or limit any salary or salary increases, bonuses, profit sharing or any other type of compensation of Executive in any manner whatsoever.

(2) The annual retainers are paid on the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held during the fiscal year. Only those individuals continuing to serve as non-employee directors immediately following the annual meeting of Park shareholders receive the annual retainers applicable to the positions they hold.
Each non-employee of Park also serves on either the board of directors of Park National Bank or the advisory board of directors of one of the divisions of Park National Bank and, in some cases, receives a specified amount of cash for such service as well as fees for attendance at meetings of the board of directors of Park National Bank or the advisory board of directors of the applicable division of Park National Bank (and committees of the respective boards).  
In addition to the annual retainers and meeting fees discussed above, non-employee directors also receive reimbursement of all reasonable travel and other expenses of attending board and committee meetings.
David L. Trautman, Matthew R. Miller and C. Daniel DeLawder receive no compensation for:  (i) serving as a member of the Park Board of Directors; (ii) serving as a member of the board of directors of Park National Bank; or (iii) serving as a member of any committee of the respective boards of directors of Park and Park National Bank.
