date of this Mortgage Deed; if any, and (c) the matters of record set forth in
Exhibit "B".

        This Mortgage Deed is given, upon the statutory condition, to secure the
payment of a Promissory Note of even date herewith in the principal amount of
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) together with additional consideration,
including but not limited to, interest and Additional Payment, if any, as
defined in the Promissory Note, payable on or before sixty (60) months after the
date of execution of the Promissory Note (the "Note").

        "Statutory condition" is defined in Section 5302.14 of the Ohio Revised
Code and provides generally that if the Grantor pays the principal, interest and
Additional Payment, if any, secured by this Mortgage Deed, performs the other
obligations secured hereby and pays all taxes and assessments, maintains
insurance against fire and other hazards, and does not commit or suffer waste,
then this mortgage shall be void, but otherwise remain in full force and effect.

        1. Grantor will keep or cause to be kept all buildings and other
insurable property now or hereafter erected or placed in or on the Premises
insured against loss by fire and other hazards, casualties and contingencies, in
an amount consistent with Grantee's past practices. All such insurance shall be
carried in companies approved by the Grantee and shall include a provision
satisfactory to Grantee making loss payable to Grantee as Grantee's interest may
appear. Grantor will promptly pay when due all premiums for such insurance. Not
less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any policy of insurance,
Grantor will deliver to Grantee renewal or new policies in like amounts covering
the same risks. Should any loss occur to the Premises, Grantor will promptly
give notice by mail to Grantee of such loss or damage, and any proceeds payable
as a result of such loss.

ten (10) days after the due date for such payment; or

           (b) the Grantor fails to perform or observe any covenant or agreement
of the Borrower hereunder or under the Note, to the extent the Grantor shall
fail to cure or remedy the same within thirty (30) days after the date of
receipt of written notice of such breach from the Grantee, specifying the nature
of such breach in reasonable detail, provided, that, so long as the interests of
the Grantee are not materially impaired by reason of any such delay, no such
breach shall be deemed a "Default" for purposes hereof to the extent not fully
cured or remedied within such thirty (30) day period, so long as the Grantor (i)
initiates a reasonable course of action to remedy such breach within such thirty
(30) day period and (ii) continues, without material interruption, to take all
action reasonably necessary to effect such cure or remedy.

        3. In addition to the debt, this Mortgage Deed shall also secure unpaid
balances or advances made by Grantee, with respect to the Premises, for the
payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or costs incurred for the
protection of the Premises as provided for in Section 5301.233 of the Revised
Code of Ohio.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Mortgage deed has been executed at Cleveland,

Executive's obligations under Section 10 hereof, and (iii) the earliest of:

      1.    The date this Agreement is mutually rescinded;

                  regulations; or

            d.    is assigned a composite rating of 4 or 5 by the appropriate
                  federal banking agency or is informed in writing by the

                  and promises assumed and made under this Agreement have become
                  proscribed under applicable law or regulations. Provided,
                  however, if such law or regulations apply prospectively only,
                  or for some other reason do not apply to this Agreement, then
                  this Agreement shall not be deemed by Company to be
                  proscribed.

SECTION 3 - REDUCTION IN COMPENSATION PROSCRIBED AFTER A CHANGE IN CONTROL.

From the date of a Change in Control to the date of termination of this

one-year period before the Change in Control, and shall, in addition, be
entitled to receive a bonus equal to at least the average of the last three

SECTION 4 - PAYMENT UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BEFORE A CHANGE IN CONTROL.

If during the term of this Agreement and before the date of a Change in Control,
Executive is discharged without Cause or Executive resigns because he has (i)
been demoted, (ii) had his base salary reduced, (iii) had his principal place of
employment transferred away from Medina County Ohio or a county contiguous
thereto, or (iv) had his job title, status or responsibility materially reduced,
then the Company shall pay in a single lump sum cash payment in an amount equal
to one year of Compensation. Executive shall have no obligation to seek other
employment or otherwise mitigate the effect of his discharge from employment.
The payments and benefits provided for herein are in lieu of compensation,
benefits or amounts the Executive might otherwise be entitled to under the
Company's severance policy or otherwise payable by the Company be reason of
termination of employment.

SECTION 5 - PAYMENTS DUE AFTER A CHANGE IN CONTROL.

A.    If during the term of this Agreement and after the date of a Change in
      Control, Executive is discharged without Cause or Executive resigns
      because he/she has: (i) been demoted, (ii) had his compensation reduced,
      (iii) had his principal place of employment transferred away from Medina
      County Ohio or a county contiguous thereto, or (iv) had his job title,
      status or responsibility materially reduced, then the Company shall make
      the payments to Executive set forth in subsection D of this Section 5.

B.    If Executive voluntarily terminates employment not earlier than six (6)
      months and not later than twelve (12) months following a Change in
      Control, then the Company shall make the payments to Executive set forth
      in subsection D of this Section 5.

C.    If Executive is discharged by Company other than for Cause and there is a
      Change in Control within two (2) years following the discharge, then the
      Company shall make the payments to Executive set forth in subsection D of
      this Section 5, reduced for any payment made pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

D.    In the event of the termination of Executive's employment as described in
      A, B or C above, Executive shall be entitled to receive: (i) a cash
      payment equal to two (2) years of Compensation, or (ii) upon Executive's
      election, two (2) years of Compensation payable in equal monthly payments,
      in cash, without interest. The lump sum cash payment or the first

                                       4
<PAGE>
      monthly cash payment, as the case may be, shall be paid at the end of the
      first month commencing after the Executive's termination of employment in
      the case of a benefit entitlement under Subsection A, or B above, and in
      the event of the election by Executive to receive monthly payments, shall
      continue each consecutive month thereafter until 24 payments have been
      made. In the event of termination of employment as described in C above,
      the lump sum or first monthly payment shall be paid immediately upon the
      Change in Control. If Executive's employment is terminated as described in
      Subsection A or Subsection B above, then in addition to the above cash
      payment(s), Company shall continue at no cost to Executive for the term of
      the Benefit Period as defined below, Executive's coverage in Company's
      health, disability, dental, life insurance and club memberships at the
      same levels that had been provided immediately prior to his termination of
      employment. The Benefit Period shall commence on the date of termination
      of the Executive's employment and shall end on the last day of the 24th
      consecutive whole month thereafter.

      In the event Executive dies before collecting all amounts and benefits due
      under this Section, any payments owing shall be paid to the person or
      persons as stated in the last designation of beneficiary concerning this
      Agreement signed by Executive and filed with Company, and if not, then to
      the personal representative of Executive.

      The payments and benefits provided for herein are in lieu of compensation,
      benefits or amounts the Executive might otherwise be entitled to under the
      Company's severance policy or otherwise payable by the Company by reason
      of termination of employment.

E.    In the event the payments required under this Agreement, when added
      together with any other amounts required to be included by Executive under
      the provisions of the Code, result in an "Excess Parachute Payment," as
      that term is defined in Section 280G of the Code, then the amount of the
      payments provided for in this Agreement shall be increased in an amount
      equal to 250% of any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 (or any
      successor thereto) of the Code and otherwise payable by the Executive.

F.    Any subsequent employment by Executive shall not reduce the obligation of
      the Company to make the full payments and provide the full benefits
      specified herein and Executive shall have no obligation to seek other
      employment or otherwise mitigate the effect of his discharge from
      employment.

SECTION 7 - PROVISION FOR OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES.

In the event of the termination of employment of Executive requiring the
payments specified in Section 4 or 5 of this Agreement, Executive shall be
entitled to six months of out-placement services following termination of
employment. Such services shall include employment counseling, resume services,
executive placement services and similar services generally provided to
executives by professional executive out placement service providers. All costs
of such out placement services shall be paid for by the Company.

SECTION 8 - ARBITRATION.

Subject to the Company's right to seek injunctive relief under Section 10 of
this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to arbitrate any issue,
misunderstanding, disagreement or dispute in connection with the terms in effect
in this Agreement in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration
Association, before one arbitrator mutually agreeable to the parties. If either
party determines that the parties have been unable to agree upon one arbitrator,
then such party may appoint one arbitrator and require the other party to
appoint a second arbitrator. Thereafter, the two appointed arbitrators shall
appoint a third neutral arbitrator. If the arbitrators selected by the parties
are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the American Arbitration
Association shall select the third arbitrator. Failure by a party to either (i)
accept as mutually agreeable, or (ii) appoint an arbitrator, within 30 days of
receipt of notice of the appointment of an arbitrator by the other party, shall
be deemed acceptance of arbitration by such single arbitrator. The arbitration
shall occur in Medina, Ohio, or such other place as mutually agreed upon. The
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover any and all costs associated with
any arbitration proceeding (and any subsequent proceeding to enforce rights
thereunder) including the recovery of reasonable attorneys fees. Judgement on
the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.

SECTION 9 - RIGHT TO OTHER BENEFITS.

Except as otherwise specified herein, nothing in this Agreement shall abridge,
eliminate, or cause Executive to lose Executive's right or entitlement to any
other Company benefit to which Executive may be entitled due to his status as an
employee under any plan or policy of Company on such terms and conditions as are
required of any employee under any plan or policy of Company. Further, nothing
in this Agreement shall create in Executive any greater rights or entitlements,
except as specified in this Agreement. The plans and policies referred to in
this Section 9 include, but are not limited to, life insurance plans, dental,
disability or health insurance benefits, severance policies, club memberships,
and accrued vacation pay.

SECTION 10 - NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION AGREEMENT AND BUSINESS
PROTECTION.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement:

A.    Noncompetition Agreement and Nonsolicitation Agreement

      1.    In view of Executive's importance to the success of the Company,
            Executive and Company agree that the Company would likely suffer
            significant harm from Executive competing with Company during
            Executive's term of employment with Company and for some period of
            time thereafter. Accordingly, Executive agrees that Executive shall
            not engage in competitive activities while employed by Company and
            during the Restricted Period. Executive shall be deemed to engage in
            competitive activities if he shall, without the prior written
            consent of the Company, (i) in Medina County, and counties
            contiguous thereto except Cuyahoga County (including the
            municipalities therein), render services directly or indirectly, as
            an employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, partner or
            otherwise, for any organization or enterprise which competes
            directly or indirectly with the business of Company or any of its
            affiliates in providing financial products or services (including,
            without limitation, banking, insurance, or securities products or
            services) to consumers and businesses, or (ii) directly or
            indirectly acquires any financial or beneficial interest in (except
            as provided in the next sentence) any organization which conducts or
            is otherwise engaged in a business or enterprise in Medina County,
            and counties contiguous thereto except Cuyahoga County (including
            all municipalities therein) which competes directly or indirectly
            with the business of Company or any of its affiliates in providing
            financial products or services (including, without limitation,
            banking, insurance or securities products or services) to consumers
            and businesses. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Executive
            shall not be prohibited from owning less than one percent (1%) of
            any publicly traded corporation, whether or not such corporation is
            in competition with Company. For purposes of this paragraph 10 the
            term "Restricted Period" shall equal two (2) years, commencing as of
            the date of Executive's termination of employment, provided that if
            Executive's employment is terminated by Company without cause prior
            to a Change in Control, the Restricted Period shall equal one (1)
            year or such longer period during which Executive receives benefits
            under this Agreement or the Company's severance policy as in effect
            at the date of termination.

      2.    While employed by Company and for a period of two (2) years
            following Executive's termination of employment with Company,
            Executive agrees that Executive shall not, in any manner, directly
            or indirectly, (i) solicit by mail, by telephone, by personal
            meeting, or by any other means, either directly or indirectly, any
            customer or prospective customer of Company to whom Executive
            provided services, or for whom Executive transacted business, or
            whose identity became known to Executive in connection with
            Executive's services to Company (including employment with or
            services to any predecessor or successor entities), to transact
            business with a person or an entity other than the Company or its
            affiliates or reduce or refrain from doing any business with the
            Company or its affiliates or (ii) interfere with or damage (or
            attempt to interfere with or damage) any relationship between
            Company or its affiliates and any such customer or prospective
            customer. The term "solicit" as used in this Agreement means any
            communication of any kind whatsoever, inviting, encouraging or
            requesting any person

                                       7

            to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to the
            business of Company and its subsidiaries.

      3.    While employed by Company and for a period of two (2) years
            following Executive's termination of employment with Company,
            Executive agrees that Executive shall not, in any manner, directly
            or indirectly, solicit any person who is an employee of Company or
            any of its affiliates to apply for or accept employment or a
            business opportunity with any other person or entity.

      4.    The parties agree that nothing herein shall be construed to limit or
            negate the common law of torts or trade secrets where it provides
            broader protection than that provided herein.

B.    Confidential Information

Executive has obtained and may obtain confidential information concerning the
businesses, operations, financial affairs, organizational and personnel matters,
policies, procedures and other non-public matters of Company and its affiliates,
and those of third-parties that is not generally disclosed to persons not
employed by Company or its subsidiaries. Such information (referred to herein as
the "Confidential Information") may have been or may be provided in written form
or orally. Executive shall not disclose to any other person the Confidential
Information at any time during his employment with Company or after the
termination of his employment, provided that Executive may disclose such
Confidential Information only to a person who is then a director, officer,
employee, partner, attorney or agent of Company who, in Executive's reasonable
good faith judgment, has a need to know the Confidential Information.

C.    Remedies

      1.    Executive acknowledges that a violation on Executive's part of this
            Section 10 would cause immeasurable and irreparable damage to
            Company. Accordingly, Executive agrees that notwithstanding Section
            8 hereof, Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any
            court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or threatened
            violation of any of the provisions of this Section 10, in addition
            to any other remedies it may have.

      2.    In addition to Company's right to seek injunctive relief as set
            forth in subparagraph 1 above of this Section 10.C, in the event
            that Executive shall violate the terms and conditions of this
            Section 10, Company may: (i) make a general claim for damages and
            (ii) terminate any payments or benefits payable by Company, if
            applicable, to Executive.

      3.    The Board shall be responsible for determining whether Executive
            shall have violated this Section 10, and in the absence of
            Executive's ability to show that the Board has acted in bad faith
            and without fair dealing, such decision will be final and binding.
            Upon the request of Executive, the Company shall provide an advance
            opinion as to whether a proposed activity would violate the
            provisions of this Agreement.
