unique value to FirstMerit. Bostic further acknowledges and covenants that, at
all times, the Confidential Information is the sole property of FirstMerit and

event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be void or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall not be

Company. However, the Company agrees that the provisions hereof shall remain in
effect regardless of whether liability or other insurance coverage is at any
time obtained or retained by the Company; except that any payments in fact made
to Indemnitee under an insurance policy obtained or retained by the Company
shall reduce the obligation of the Company to make payments hereunder by the
amount of the payments made under any such insurance policy.

         3. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. At Indemnitee's request, after receipt of
written notice pursuant to Section 5 hereof and an undertaking in the form of
Exhibit B attached hereto by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such amounts so
paid on Indemnitee's behalf if it shall ultimately be determined under the
Applicable Document that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company for such Expenses, the Company shall pay the Expenses as and when
incurred by Indemnitee. That portion of Expenses which represents attorneys fees
and other costs incurred in defending any proceeding shall be paid by the
Company within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such request, together with
reasonable documentation evidencing the amount and nature of such Expenses,
subject to its also having received such a notice and undertaking.

         4. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. The indemnification provided in this Agreement
shall not be exclusive of any other indemnification or right to which Indemnitee
may be entitled and shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to occupy a
position as an officer, director, employee, agent or representative as described
in Section 1 above with respect to Proceedings relating to or arising out of
Indemnitee's acts or omissions during his service in such position.

         5. NOTICE TO COMPANY. Indemnitee shall provide to the Company prompt
written notice of any Proceeding brought, threatened, asserted or commenced
against Indemnitee with respect to which Indemnitee may assert a right to
indemnification hereunder; provided that failure to provide such notice shall
not, in any way, limit Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement.

         6. COOPERATION IN DEFENSE AND SETTLEMENT. Indemnitee shall not make any
admission or effect any settlement without the Company's written consent unless
Indemnitee shall have determined to undertake his own defense in such matter and
has waived the benefits of this Agreement. The Company shall not settle any
Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party in any manner which would impose any
Expense on Indemnitee without his written consent. Neither Indemnitee nor the
Company will unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed settlement.
Indemnitee and the Company shall cooperate to the extent reasonably possible
with each other and with the Company's insurers, in attempts to defend and/or
settle such Proceeding.

         7. ASSUMPTION OF DEFENSE. Except as otherwise provided below, to the
extent that it may wish, the Company jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified will be entitled to assume Indemnitee's defense in any
Proceeding, with counsel mutually satisfactory to Indemnitee and the Company.
After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of the Company's

                                       -3-

election so to assume such defense, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee
under this Agreement for Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation
or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ
counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred
after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be
at Indemnitee's expense unless:

              (a) The employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized
          by the Company;

              (b) Counsel employed by the Company initially is unacceptable or
         later becomes unacceptable to Indemnitee and such unacceptability is
         reasonable under then existing circumstances;

              (c) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a
         conflict or interest between Indemnitee and the Company in the conduct
         of the defense of such Proceeding; or

              (d) The Company shall not have employed counsel promptly to assume
         the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and
         expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company and subject
         to payment pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall not be
         entitled to assume the defense of Indemnitee in any Proceeding brought
         by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have
         made either of the conclusions provided for in clauses (b) or (c)
         above.

         8. EXCLUSIONS. Notwithstanding the scope of indemnification which may
be available to Indemnitees from time to time under any Applicable Document, no
indemnification, reimbursement or payment shall be required of the Company
hereunder with respect to: (i) any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee without
the consent or authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided
that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to any claims brought by
Indemnitee to enforce his rights under this Agreement or in any Proceeding
initiated by another person or entity whether or not such claims were brought by
Indemnitee against a person or entity who was otherwise a party to such
Proceeding,or (ii) those actions, fines or penalties specifically excluded from
indemnification coverage under applicable Ohio law. Nothing in this Section 8
shall eliminate or diminish Company's obligations to advance that portion of
Indemnitee's Expenses which represent attorneys' fees and other costs incurred
in defending any proceeding pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.

         9. EXTRAORDINARY TRANSACTIONS. The Company covenants and agrees that in
the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company is
not the surviving entity, any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company or any liquidation of the Company (each such event is hereinafter
referred to as an "extraordinary transaction"), the Company shall:

              (a) Have the obligations of the Company under this Agreement
         expressly assumed by the survivor, purchaser or successor, as the case
         may be, in such extraordinary transaction; or

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

              (b) Otherwise adequately provide for the satisfaction of the
         Company's obligations under this Agreement, in a manner acceptable to
         Indemnitee.

         10. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY. Indemnitee agrees that neither the Directors
nor any officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company shall be
personally liable for the satisfaction of the Company's obligations under this
Agreement, and Indemnitee shall look solely to the assets of the Company for
satisfaction of any claims hereunder.

         11. SEVERABILITY. If any provision, phrase or other portion of this
Agreement should be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and such determination
should become final, such provision, phrase or other portion shall be deemed to
be severed or limited, but only to the extent required to render the remaining
provisions and portions of the Agreement enforceable, and the Agreement as thus
amended shall be enforced to give effect to the intention of the parties insofar
as that is possible.

         12. SUBROGATION. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent thereof to all rights to
indemnification or reimbursement against any insurer or other entity or person
vested in the Indemnitee, who shall execute all instruments and take all other
actions as shall be reasonably necessary for the Company to enforce such rights.

         13. GOVERNING LAW. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall
be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of Ohio.

         14. NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be considered to have been duly given if

         15. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon
not less than sixty (60) days' prior written notice delivered to the other

Company hereunder with respect to Indemnitee's activities prior to the effective
date of termination.

and the Company hereunder may not be amended, modified or terminated except by
