    WAYNE
      SAVINGS COMMUNITY BANK

    AMENDED
      AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

    

    This
      AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered
      into as of November 30, 2006 by and between Wayne Savings Community Bank (the
      “Bank”), an Ohio savings and loan association, with its principal administrative
      office at 151 North Market Street, Wooster, Ohio and Wendy S. Blosser (the
      “Executive”). Any reference to “Company” herein shall mean Wayne Savings
      Bancshares, Inc. the stock holding company parent of the Bank or any successor
      thereto.

    

    WHEREAS,
      the
      Executive is currently employed as Senior Vice President and Senior Trust
      Officer of the Bank pursuant to an employment agreement between the Bank and
      the
      Executive entered into effective as of January 1, 2005 (the “Prior Employment
      Agreement”);

    

    WHEREAS,
      the
      Bank desires to amend and restate the Prior Employment Agreement in order to
      make changes to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
      as amended (the “Code”), as well as certain other changes;

    

    WHEREAS,
      the
      Bank desires to be ensured of the continued services of the Executive for the
      period provided in this Agreement; and

    

    WHEREAS,
      the
      Executive is willing to continue to serve in the employ of the Bank on a
      full-time basis for said period.

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE,
      in
      consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and upon the other
      terms
      and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereby agree as
      follows:

    

    1.    POSITION
      AND RESPONSIBILITIES

    

    During
      the period of her employment hereunder, Executive agrees to serve as Senior
      Vice
      President and Senior Trust Officer for the Bank (the “Executive Position”). As
      Senior Vice President and Senior Trust Officer, the Executive agrees to serve
      under the direction of the President and CEO of the Bank and will manage,
      supervise and direct all trust activities including development of new trust
      business while demonstrating a commitment to quality personal service. During
      said period, Executive also agrees to serve, if elected, as an officer of any
      subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank. Failure to reelect Executive to the
      Executive Position without the consent of the Executive during the term of
      this
      Agreement (except for any termination for Cause, as defined herein) shall
      constitute a breach of this Agreement.

    

    2.    TERMS
      AND DUTIES

    

    (a) The
      period of Executive's employment under this Agreement shall begin as of the
      date
      first above written and shall continue for a period of twenty-four full calendar
      months thereafter. Within thirty days prior to the first anniversary date of
      this Agreement, and within thirty days prior to each anniversary date
      thereafter, the Board of Directors of the Bank (“Board”) will conduct a
      performance evaluation and review of the Executive for purposes
      of

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    determining
      whether to extend the Agreement, and the results thereof shall be included
      in
      the minutes of the Board's meeting and communicated to Executive. Upon a
      favorable performance evaluation, the Board shall renew the term of the
      Agreement for an additional year from the anniversary date such that the
      remaining term shall be two years; provided, however, if written notice of
      nonrenewal is provided to Executive at least ten days and not more than thirty
      days prior to any anniversary date, the Agreement shall expire at the end of
      twenty-four months following such anniversary date. 

    

    (b) During
      the period of her employment hereunder, except for periods of absence occasioned
      by illness, reasonable vacation periods, and reasonable leaves of absence,
      Executive shall devote substantially all her business time, attention, skill,
      and efforts to the faithful performance of her duties hereunder including
      activities and services related to the organization, operation and management
      of
      the Bank; provided, however, that, with the approval of the Board, as evidenced
      by a resolution of such Board, from time to time, Executive may serve, or
      continue to serve, on the boards of directors of, and hold any other offices
      or
      positions in, business companies or business organizations, which, in such
      Board's judgment, will not present any conflict of interest with the Bank,
      or
      materially affect the performance of Executive's duties pursuant to this
      Agreement (for purposes of this Section 2(b), Board approval shall be deemed
      provided as to service with any such business companies or organizations that
      Executive was serving as provided on the attached exhibit to the Prior
      Employment Agreement).

    

    3.    COMPENSATION
      AND REIMBURSEMENT.

    

    (a) The
      compensation specified under this Agreement shall constitute the salary and
      benefits paid for the duties described in Section 2(b). The Bank shall pay
      Executive as compensation a salary of not less than $98,000 per year (“Base
      Salary”). Such Base Salary shall be payable biweekly.  During the period of
      this Agreement, Executive's Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually.
      Such review shall be conducted by a Committee designated by the Board, and
      the
      Board may increase, but not decrease (except a decrease that is generally
      applicable to all employees), Executive's Base Salary (any increase in Base
      Salary shall become the “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement). In
      addition to the Base Salary provided in this Section 3(a), the Bank shall
      provide Executive at no cost to Executive with all such other benefits as are
      provided uniformly to permanent full-time employees of the Bank. Base Salary
      shall include any amounts of compensation deferred by Executive under qualified
      and nonqualified plans maintained by the Bank.

    

    (b) The
      Bank
      will provide Executive with employee benefit plans, arrangements and perquisites
      substantially equivalent to those in which Executive was participating or
      otherwise deriving benefit from immediately prior to the beginning of the term
      of this Agreement, and the Bank will not, without Executive's prior written
      consent, make any changes in such plans, arrangements or perquisites which
      would
      adversely affect Executive's rights or benefits thereunder, except as to any
      changes that are applicable to all employees or as reasonably or customarily
      available. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this
      Subsection (b), Executive will be entitled to participate in or receive benefits
      under any employee benefit plans including but not limited to, retirement plans,
      supplemental retirement plans, pension plans, profit-sharing plans,
      health-and-accident plans, medical coverage or any

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    other
      employee benefit plan or arrangement made available by the Bank in the future
      to
      its senior executives and key management employees, subject to and on a basis
      consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans
      and arrangements. Executive will be entitled to incentive compensation and
      bonuses as provided in any plan of the Bank in which Executive is eligible
      to
      participate (and she shall be entitled to a pro rata distribution under any
      incentive compensation or bonus plan as to any year in which a termination
      of
      employment occurs, other than termination for Cause). Nothing paid to the
      Executive under any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of
      other compensation to which the Executive is entitled under this
      Agreement.

    

    (c) In
      addition to the Base Salary provided for by paragraph (a) of this Section 3,
      the
      Bank shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable travel and other
      reasonable expenses incurred by Executive performing her obligations under
      this
      Agreement and may provide such additional compensation in such form and such
      amounts as the Board may from time to time determine.

     

    4.    PAYMENTS
      TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION.

    

    (a) Upon
      the
      occurrence of an Event of Termination (as herein defined) during the Executive's
      term of employment under this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall
      apply. As used in this Agreement, an “Event of Termination” shall mean and
      include any one or more of the following: (i) the termination by the Bank or
      the
      Company of Executive's full-time employment hereunder for any reason other
      than
      (A) termination for Cause (as defined in Section 7 hereof), (B) upon Retirement
      (as defined in Section 6 hereof), or (C) for Disability (as set forth in Section
      5 hereof); (ii) Executive's resignation from the Bank's employ following (A)
      any
      failure to elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint Executive to the
      Executive Position, (B) a material change in Executive's function, duties,
      or
      responsibilities, which change would cause Executive's position to become one
      of
      lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the position and attributes
      thereof described in Section 1 above, to which Executive has not agreed in
      writing (and any such material change shall be deemed a continuing breach of
      this Agreement), (C) a relocation of Executive's principal place of employment
      to a location more than 30 miles outside the City of Wooster, or a material
      reduction in the benefits and perquisites, including Base Salary, to the
      Executive from those being provided as of the effective date of this Agreement
      (except for any reduction that is part of an employee-wide reduction in pay
      or
      benefits), (D) a liquidation or dissolution of the Bank or the Company, or
      (E)
      material breach of this Agreement by the Bank; and (iii) the event specified
      in
      Section 4(b) hereof. Upon the occurrence of any event described in clauses
      (ii)
      (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) above, Executive shall have the right to elect to
      terminate her employment under this Agreement by resignation upon not less
      than
      thirty (30) days prior written notice given within a reasonable period of time
      (not to exceed, except in case of a continuing breach, four calendar months)
      after the event giving rise to said right to elect, which termination by
      Executive shall be an Event of Termination. No payments or benefits shall be
      due
      to Executive under this Agreement upon the termination of Executive's employment
      except as provided in Sections 3, 4 or 5 hereof.

    

    (b) As
      used
      in this Agreement, an Event of Termination shall also mean and include
      Executive's involuntary termination or voluntary resignation from the Bank's
      employ on the

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    effective
      date of, or at any time following, a Change in Control during the term of this
      Agreement. For these purposes, a Change in Control shall mean a
      change
      in the ownership of the Bank or the Company, a change in the effective control
      of the Bank or the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion
      of the assets of the Bank or the Company, in each case as provided under Section
      409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

    

    (c) Within
      30
      days upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, as defined in Section
      4(a)
      or 4(b), the Bank shall pay Executive, or, in the event of her subsequent death,
      her beneficiary or beneficiaries, or her estate, as the case may be, as
      severance pay or liquidated damages (but not both), a lump sum cash amount
      equal
      to two (2) times the sum of: (i) the highest annual rate of Base Salary paid
      to
      Executive at any time under this Agreement, (ii) the greater of (x) the average
      annual cash bonus paid to Executive with respect to the two completed fiscal
      years prior to the Event of Termination, or (y) the cash bonus paid to Executive
      with respect to the fiscal year ended prior to the Event of Termination, and
      (iii) the value of the employer matching contributions made on the Executive’s
      behalf in the Wayne Savings 401(k) Retirement Plan, or any successor thereto,
      and the value of the employer contribution or allocation made on the Executive’s
      behalf in the Wayne Savings Community Bank Restated Employee Stock Ownership
      Plan, or any successor thereto, in the calendar year preceding the year in
      which
      the Event of Termination occurs; provided
      however,
      that if
      the Bank is not in compliance with its minimum capital requirements or if such
      payments would cause the Bank's capital to be reduced below its minimum capital
      requirements, such payments shall be deferred until such time as the Bank is
      in
      capital compliance. Such payments shall not be reduced in the event the
      Executive obtains other employment following termination of
      employment.

    

    (d) Upon
      the
      occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Bank will cause to be continued
      life,
      medical and dental coverage substantially comparable, as reasonably or
      customarily available, to the coverage maintained by the Bank for Executive,
      at
      no cost to the Executive, prior to her termination, except to the extent such
      coverage may be changed in its application to all Bank employees or is not
      available on an individual basis to a terminated employee. Such coverage shall
      cease twenty-four (24) months following the Event of Termination. If
      the
      provision of any of the benefits covered by this Section 4(d) would trigger
      the
      20% tax and interest penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the
      benefit(s) that would trigger such tax and interest penalties shall not be
      provided (collectively, the “Excluded Benefits”), and in lieu of the Excluded
      Benefits the Bank shall pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within 30 days
      following termination of employment or within 30 days after such determination
      should it occur after termination of employment, a cash amount equal to the
      cost
      to the Bank of providing the Excluded Benefits.

    

    (e) Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate
      payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive (the “Termination
      Benefits”) constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the
      Code or any successor thereto, and in order to avoid such a result, the
      Termination Benefits will be reduced, if necessary, to an amount (the
“Non-Triggering Amount”), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an
      amount equal to three (3) times the Executive’s “base amount”, as determined in
      accordance with Section 280G of the Code. Any
      required reduction in the

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Termination
      Benefits shall first be made by reducing the lump sum cash amount payable
      pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof.

    

    5.    TERMINATION
      FOR DISABILITY.

    

    (a) If
      the
      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 three months under
      an
      accident and health plan covering employees of the Bank,
      the
      Bank may terminate Executive’s employment for “Disability.”

    

    (b) The
      Bank
      will pay Executive, as disability pay, a bi-weekly payment equal to 75% of
      the
      Executive's bi-weekly rate of Base Salary on the effective date of such
      termination. These disability payments shall commence on the effective date
      of
      Executive's termination and will end on the earlier of (i) the date Executive
      returns to the full-time employment of the Bank in the same capacity as she
      was
      employed prior to her termination for Disability and pursuant to an employment
      agreement between Executive and the Bank; (ii) Executive's full-time employment
      by another employer; (iii) Executive attaining a Retirement age of age 65 as
      identified in Section 6; or (iv) Executive's death. The disability pay shall
      be
      reduced by the amount, if any, paid to the Executive under any plan of the
      Bank
      or the Company providing disability benefits to the Executive.

    

    (c) The
      Bank
      will cause to be continued life, medical, and dental coverage substantially
      comparable, as reasonable or customarily available, to the coverage maintained
      by the Bank for Executive prior to her termination for Disability, except to
      the
      extent such coverage may be changed in its application to all Bank employees.
      This coverage shall cease upon the earlier of (i) the date Executive returns
      to
      the full-time employment of the Bank in the same capacity as she was employed
      prior to her termination for Disability and pursuant to an employment agreement
      between Executive and the Bank; (ii) Executive's full-time employment by another
      employer; (iii) Executive attaining the Retirement age as identified in Section
      6; or (iv) Executive's death.

    

    (d) Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, there will be no reduction in the compensation otherwise payable
      to Executive during any period during which Executive is incapable of performing
      her duties hereunder by reason of temporary disability.

     

    6.    TERMINATION
      UPON RETIREMENT.

    

    Termination
      by the Bank of the Executive based on “Retirement” shall mean termination of
      executive in accordance with any retirement policy established with Executive's
      consent with respect to her. Upon termination of Executive upon Retirement,
      no
      amounts or benefits shall be due Executive under this Agreement and the
      Executive shall be entitled to all benefits under any retirement plan of the
      Bank and other plans to which Executive is a party.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    7.     TERMINATION
      FOR CAUSE.

    

    The
      term
“Termination for Cause” shall mean termination because of the Executive's
      personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of fiduciary
      duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties,
      willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations
      or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of
      any
      provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall
      not
      be deemed to have been Terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have
      been delivered to her a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative
      vote of not less than a majority of the members of the Board at a meeting of
      the
      Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive
      and
      an opportunity for her, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board),
      finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of
      conduct justifying Termination for Cause and specifying the particulars thereof
      in detail. The Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or
      other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause (other than any vested
      stock options, vested restricted stock or vested benefits under any tax
      qualified or non-qualified employee benefit plan).  Any non-vested stock
      options or restricted stock granted to Executive under any stock option plan
      or
      restricted stock plan of the Bank, the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate
      thereof, shall become null and void effective upon Executive's receipt of Notice
      of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 8 hereof, and any non-vested stock
      options shall not be exercisable by Executive at any time subsequent to such
      Termination for Cause, (unless it is determined in arbitration that grounds
      for
      termination of Executive for Cause did not exist, in which event all terms
      of
      the options or restricted stock as of the date of termination shall apply,
      and
      any time periods for exercising such options shall commence from the date of
      resolution in arbitration).

    

    8.    NOTICE.

    

    (a) Any
      purported termination by the Bank for Cause shall be communicated by Notice
      of
      Termination to the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of
      Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific
      termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in
      reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
      termination of Executive's employment under the provision so indicated. If,
      within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination for Cause is given,
      the
      Executive notifies the Bank or the Company that a dispute exists concerning
      the
      termination, the parties shall promptly proceed to arbitration. Notwithstanding
      the pendency of any such dispute, the Bank and the Company may discontinue
      to
      pay Executive compensation until the dispute is finally resolved in accordance
      with this Agreement. If it is determined that Executive is entitled to
      compensation and benefits under Section 4 of this Agreement, the payment of
      such
      compensation and benefits by the Bank and Company shall commence immediately
      following the date of resolution by arbitration, with interest due Executive
      on
      the cash amount that would have been paid pending arbitration (at the prime
      rate
      as published in the Wall
      Street Journal
      from
      time to time).

    

    (b) Any
      other
      purported termination by the Bank or by Executive shall be communicated by
      a
      Notice of Termination to the other party. For purposes of this Agreement,
      a

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    “Notice
      of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific
      termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in
      detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination
      of
      employment under the provision so indicated. “Date of Termination” shall mean
      the date of the Notice of Termination. If, within thirty (30) days after any
      Notice of Termination is given, the party receiving such Notice of Termination
      notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination,
      the
      parties shall promptly proceed to arbitration as provided in Section 18 of
      this
      Agreement. Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Bank shall
      continue to pay the Executive her Base Salary, and other compensation and
      benefits in effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given (except
      as to termination of Executive for Cause). In the event of the voluntary
      termination by the Executive of her employment, which is disputed by the Bank,
      and if it is determined in arbitration that Executive is not entitled to
      termination benefits pursuant to this Agreement, she shall return all cash
      payments made to her pending resolution by arbitration, with interest thereon
      at
      the prime rate as published in the Wall
      Street Journal
      from
      time to time if it is determined in arbitration that Executive's voluntary
      termination of employment was not taken in good faith and not in the reasonable
      belief that grounds existed for her voluntary termination.

    

    9.    POST-TERMINATION
      OBLIGATIONS.

    

    (a) All
      payments and benefits to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to
      Executive's compliance with paragraph (b) of this Section 9 during the term
      of
      this Agreement and for one (1) full year after the expiration or termination
      hereof.

    

    (b) Executive
      shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and assistance to the
      Bank as may reasonably be required by the Bank in connection with any litigation
      in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may become, a
      party.

    

    (c) Executive
      recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of the business activities and
      plans for business activities of the Bank and affiliates thereof, as it may
      exist from time to time, is a valuable, special and unique asset of the business
      of the Bank. Executive will not, during or after the term of her employment,
      disclose any knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business
      activities of the Bank or affiliates thereof to any person, firm, corporation,
      or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever (except for such disclosure
      as may be required to be provided to the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”),
      the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), or other federal banking
      agency with jurisdiction over the Bank or Executive). Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, Executive may disclose any knowledge of banking, financial and/or
      economic principles, concepts or ideas which are not solely and exclusively
      derived from the business plans and activities of the Bank, and Executive may
      disclose any information regarding the Bank or the Company which is otherwise
      publicly available. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
      Executive of the provisions of this Section 9, the Bank will be entitled to
      an
      injunction restraining Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, the
      knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of
      the
      Bank or affiliates thereof, or from rendering any services to any person, firm,
      corporation, other entity to whom such knowledge, in whole or in part, has
      been
      disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed.  Nothing herein will be
      construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other

    remedies
      available to the Bank for such breach or threatened breach, including the
      recovery of damages from Executive.

    

    10.   SOURCE
      OF PAYMENTS.

    

    All
      payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or check from
      the general funds of the Bank. The Company, however, guarantees payment and
      provision of all amounts and benefits due hereunder to Executive and, if such
      amounts and benefits due from the Bank are not timely paid or provided by the
      Bank, such amounts and benefits shall be paid or provided by the
      Company.

    

    11.   EFFECT
      ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFITS PLANS.

    

    This
      Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and
      supersedes any prior employment agreement between the Bank or any predecessor
      of
      the Bank and Executive, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate
      to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to the Executive of a kind
      elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to
      mean
      that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available
      to
      her without reference to this Agreement.

    

    12.   NO
      ATTACHMENT.

    

    (a) Except
      as
      required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be
      subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance,
      charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar
      process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or
      involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null, void, and of no
      effect.

    

    (b) This
      Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Executive and
      the
      Bank and their respective successors and assigns.

    

    13.   MODIFICATION
      AND WAIVER.

    

    (a) This
      Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing
      signed by the parties hereto. In
      addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank
      may amend in good faith any terms of this Agreement, including retroactively,
      in
      order to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

    

    (b) No
      term
      or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall
      there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this
      Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver
      or
      estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless
      specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to
      the
      specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such
      term
      or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically
      waived.

    14.   REQUIRED
      REGULATORY PROVISIONS.

    

    (a) The
      Bank's Board of Directors may terminate the Executive's employment at any time,
      but any termination by the Bank's Board of Directors, other than Termination
      for
      Cause, shall not prejudice Executive's right to compensation or other benefits
      under this Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation
      or other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause as defined in
      Section 8 hereinabove.

    

    (b) If
      the
      Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from
      participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by a notice served under
      Section 8(e)(3) (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(3)) or 8(g) (12 U.S.C.
§ 1818(g)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDI Act”), the Bank's
      obligations under this contract shall be suspended as of the date of service,
      unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are
      dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion (i) pay the Executive all or part
      of
      the compensation withheld while their contract obligations were suspended and
      (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were
      suspended.

    

    (c) If
      the
      Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the
      conduct of the Bank's affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e) (12 U.S.C.
      §§ 1818(e)) or 8(g) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(g)) of the FDI Act, all
      obligations of the Bank under this contract shall terminate as of the effective
      date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be
      affected.

    

    (d) If
      the
      Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x) (12 U.S.C. § 1813(x)(1)) of
      the FDI Act, all obligations of the Bank under this contract shall terminate
      as
      of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights
      of
      the contracting parties.

    

    (e) All
      obligations of the Bank under this contract shall be terminated, except to
      the
      extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for the
      continued operation of the Bank, (i) by the Director, at the time the FDIC
      or
      the Resolution Trust Corporation enters into an agreement to provide assistance
      to or on behalf of the Bank; or (ii) by the OTS at the time the OTS or its
      District Director approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related
      to
      the operations of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the OTS or FDIC
      to
      be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have
      already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

    

    (f) Any
      payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject
      to and conditioned upon their compliance with 12 USC Section 1828(k) and any
      regulations promulgated thereunder.

    

    15.   SEVERABILITY.

    

    If,
      for
      any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any provision,
      is
      held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this
      Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each such
      other
      provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with law continue
      in full force and effect.

      FOR REFERENCE ONLY.

    

    The
      headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience
      of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of
      the
      provisions of this Agreement.

    

    17.   GOVERNING
      LAW.

    

    This
      Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio but only to the
      extent not superseded by federal law.

    

    18.   ARBITRATION.

    

    Any
      dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall
      be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel of three
      arbitrators sitting in a location selected by the employee within the Cleveland
      metropolitan area, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
      Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award
      in
      any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that Executive shall be
      entitled to seek specific performance of her right to be paid until the Date
      of
      Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under
      or
      in connection with this Agreement.

    

    19.   PAYMENT
      OF LEGAL FEES.

    

    All
      reasonable legal fees paid or incurred by Executive pursuant to any dispute
      or
      question of interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be paid or
      reimbursed by the Bank, provided that the dispute or interpretation has been
      settled by Executive and the Bank or resolved in the Executive's
      favor.

    

    20.   INDEMNIFICATION.

    

    The
      Bank
      and the Company shall provide Executive (including her heirs, executors and
      administrators) with coverage under a standard directors' and officers'
      liability insurance policy at its expense, and shall indemnify Executive (and
      her heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted under
      federal law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by her
      in
      connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which she
      may be involved by reason of her having been a director or officer of the Bank
      or the Company (whether or not she continues to be a director or officer at
      the
      time of incurring such expenses or liabilities), such expenses and liabilities
      to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and attorneys' fees
      and the cost of reasonable settlements (such settlements must be approved by
      the
      Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company, as appropriate), provided,
      however, neither the Bank nor Company shall be required to indemnify or
      reimburse the Executive for legal expenses or liabilities incurred in connection
      with an action, suit or proceeding arising from any illegal or fraudulent act
      committed by the Executive.

    The
      Bank
      shall require any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by
      purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the
      business or assets of the Bank or the Company, expressly and unconditionally
      to
      assume and agree to perform the Bank's obligations under this Agreement, in
      the
      same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform
      if
      no such succession or assignment had taken place.

	 	DOCKET NO. 06-07-08
	WATER COMPANY TO AMEND RATE

	 	:	 	 
	SCHEDULES

	 	:

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

     This Settlement Agreement is made as of the 4th day of December 2006 by and among The
Connecticut Water Company (“CWC”), the Office of Consumer Counsel (“OCC”) and the Prosecutorial
Staff of the Department of Public Utility Control (“PRO”). CWC, OCC and PRO are sometimes referred
to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

Background

     1. On July 18, 2006, CWC filed an application for a rate increase of $14,600,000 or
approximately 30% over present rates (the “Application”). This was the first CWC rate increase
request in 16 years. The Application also requested a variety of changes to the CWC rules and
regulations and the fees applicable to miscellaneous services. The Department of Public Utility
Control (the “Department”) opened a rate proceeding referred to as Docket No. 06-07-08 in order to
review the request.

     2. The Parties participated fully in the administrative litigation of this proceeding
including extensive discovery, an audit, 6 evening public comment sessions and 11 days of public
hearings at the Department’s offices. The Office of the Attorney General also participated as an
intervenor, as did the Northeast Connecticut Council of Governments. During this process the
Department compiled an extensive amount of record evidence. At the conclusion of the
administrative proceeding, CWC filed updated evidence that resulted in a final rate increase
request of $14,985,000.

     3. The Parties simultaneously conducted settlement negotiations in an attempt to craft a
resolution of this case that was fair to all stakeholders, was sensitive to consumers’ preference
for a smoother rate plan than the initial proposal and allowed CWC to earn a reasonable return of
and on its investment. This Settlement Agreement sets forth that resolution and is submitted to
the Department for its review and approval.

     4. This Settlement Agreement represents an integrated set of trade-offs and compromises in
order to achieve the goal of a fair resolution of this proceeding. It reflects the concerns voiced
by customers as well as state and local officials that a phased-in increase that mitigates the
customer impacts would be preferred rather than a one-time rate increase. It also balances
customer impacts against CWC’s need to charge rates that reflect its costs of rendering

-6-

 

service. As more fully set forth in section E below, none of the Parties necessarily finds
any particular element of the Settlement Agreement reasonable standing apart from the rest of the
Agreement.

	 	A.	 	Basic Elements of Phased-in Rate Increase

     1. The allowed revenue requirements as a result of the Application without regard to
the phase-in are calculated as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Proposed rate increase (LFE 18)
	 	$	14,985,339	 
	Settlement adjustments
	 	 	(4,044,518	)
	 
	 	 	 
	Rate increase
	 	$	10,940,821	 

     The allowed increase includes an adjustment to pro forma revenues at current rates of
$326,429 over CWC’s requested pro forma revenues at current rates as shown on LFE 18. The
$326,429 was, therefore, backed out of the rate increase. These adjustments result in total
pro forma revenues after the rate increase of $ 60,002,791, an increase of 22.3% over pro
forma revenues at current rates.

     2. This rate increase shall be phased in over a 15-month period. The first phase shall
be effective for service rendered on and after January 1, 2007. The second phase shall be
effective for service rendered on and after April 1, 2008.

     a. The first phase is an increase of $ 7,117,772 or 14.5%.

     b. The second phase is an increase of $3,823,049 (6.8% of 2007 allowed
revenues) plus the amortization of the regulatory asset created by the deferral and
described in paragraph C. 4. below. This phase of the increase reflects the revenue
requirements arising from the rate base treatment of the balance, as of April 1,
2008, of the deferred portion of the total 22.3% increase and the beginning of the
20-yr amortization of the regulatory asset representing the deferral. Detailed
calculations describing the creation of the regulatory asset are shown in Attachment
A. The second phase will also include the adjustments that result from the 2008
limited reopener described in paragraph B below.

	 	B.	 	2008 Limited Reopener

     1. In addition to the phased-in rate increase described in paragraph A, CWC shall file,
on or about January 30, 2008, a request to reopen Docket No. 06-07-08 for the limited
purpose of allowing a further rate adjustment based upon

     a. increases in rate base arising from additional plant funded by CWC and
placed in service on or before December 31, 2007 (but in no event more than $15.5
million) less

     b. the 2007 increment to accumulated depreciation less

-7-

 

     c. the additional deferred taxes related to liberalized depreciation (Act 282)
as of 12-31-07 .

This net rate base addition shall be multiplied by the allowed rate of return of
8.07% and a tax multiplier of 1.638. CWC shall also be allowed to recover the
additional property taxes on the 2007 plant additions based upon the latest actual
mill rates then in effect, plus the depreciation expense related to the CWC funded
2007 plant additions. All of the foregoing items shall be documented by evidence
submitted by CWC and subject to such additional discovery and cross examination as
the Department, OCC or other participants shall deem appropriate.

     2. No other adjustments to expense, revenue, rate base or rate of return shall be
considered in the 2008 limited reopener. The Department shall review the levels of proposed
increase using its customary procedures and no increase shall be implemented based on the
limited reopener except as approved by the Department.

     3. Illustrative calculations demonstrating the mechanical aspects of the limited
reopener rate adjustment and the implementation of the second phase of the initial rate
increase are shown in Attachment B.

	 	C.	 	Detailed Elements of Phased-in Rate Increase

     1. The allowed return on equity shall be 10.125% in place of the CWC requested return
of 11.25%. Using the CWC proposed capital structure, this results in an allowed return on
rate base of 8.07%. The return on rate base calculation is shown in Attachment C.

     2. Allowed rate base as of December 31, 2006 shall be $175,470,195 based upon the
information in LFE 18.

     3. Depreciation shall remain at current rates. This reduction, when combined with
disallowances of O&M expenses will result in a reduction of approximately $2 million,
including the disallowance of the Company’s SERP expense. Total allowed O&M expenses are
$28,391,394.

     4. CWC shall record deferred revenue of $318,580 per month from January 2007 through
and including March 2008. This represents the portion of the phased in rate increase that
is being deferred for fifteen months. The deferred principal amount shall accrue interest
at the allowed return on rate base of 8.07% until April 1, 2008, at which time principal
plus interest shall be included in rate base and CWC shall begin to amortize that amount
over a 20-year period.

     5. Other amortization amounts and amortization periods shall be as reflected in CWC’s
application as updated through LFE 18.

-8-

 

     6. A summary of these key elements is shown in tabular form in Attachment C.

	 	D.	 	Rate Design

     1. Meter charges, consumption charges and fire protection charges shall be based upon
the rate design set forth in LFE-18, adjusted pro rata across the board to reflect the
initial 14.5% increase. The same approach will be employed for the April 1, 2008 increase.

     2. As of January 1, 2007, special and miscellaneous charges will be implemented as set
forth in LFE-18 and will not be further adjusted on April 1, 2008.

     3. Rules and regulations governing customer service and related items will include all
changes requested by Department staff during the public hearings.

     4. Rates, rules and regulations complying with this Settlement Agreement will be filed
on or about December 5, 2006.

	 	E.	 	Other issues

     1. Upon Department approval of the Settlement Agreement in its entirety, CWC agrees
that it shall not file a new application for a general increase in rates pursuant to section
16-19 of the General Statutes that would become effective prior to January 1, 2009, provided
that CWC reserves the right to request rate relief that would become effective prior to
January 1, 2009 if CWC incurs or will incur unanticipated substantial and material cost
increases as a result of changes in law, administrative requirements or accounting
standards, or due to force majeure events such as acts of God, strikes, lockouts, acts of
the public enemy, wars, riots, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods,
breakage or accident to machinery or lines of pipe, line freeze ups, and other cause,
whether the kind herein enumerated, or otherwise, and whether caused or occasioned by or
happening on account of the act or omission of CWC, which is not in the control of CWC and
which by the exercise of due diligence CWC is unable to prevent or overcome, occurring after
the date of this Settlement Agreement

     2. The record in this proceeding provides sufficient evidence on which the Department
can rely to make a determination that the Settlement Agreement is reasonable and in the
public interest and that the resulting rates comply with applicable law.

     3. The Parties waive the right to submit briefs prior to the Department issuing a Draft
Decision approving or rejecting the Settlement Agreement.

     4. The Parties agree that this Settlement Agreement is in the public interest.

     5. This Settlement Agreement is intended to be an integrated document. As such, the
terms contained herein are interdependent and not severable, and they shall not

-9-

 

be binding upon, or deemed to be an admission or concession by any Party, or to
represent the positions of the Parties, if the Settlement Agreement is not fully approved by
the Department. If the Department does not approve this Settlement Agreement in its
entirety, it shall be deemed withdrawn, it shall not constitute a part of the record in this
or any other administrative or judicial proceeding, shall not be admissible as evidence or
be used for any purpose whatsoever in this or any other administrative or judicial
proceeding, and each Party shall be free to advocate any position on any of the issues
addressed by the Settlement Agreement in this or any other administrative or judicial
proceeding, unless the Parties agree otherwise.

     6. The Parties shall support the Settlement Agreement before the Department, any other
public forum and any court to which an appeal may be taken, shall do nothing to undermine
the integrity of the Settlement Agreement and shall take all such action necessary on a
cooperative basis to secure approval and implementation of the provisions of the Settlement
Agreement.

     7. The discussions which have produced this Settlement Agreement have been conducted on
the explicit understanding that all offers of settlement and discussions relating thereto
are and shall be privileged and confidential, shall be without prejudice to the position of
any Party presenting such offer or participating in any such discussions, and are not to be
used in any manner in connection with this or any other administrative or judicial
proceeding involving any or all of the Parties or otherwise.

     8. This Settlement Agreement does not represent an admission or concession by the
Parties as to the proper disposition of any issue not related to this Settlement Agreement
in any future proceeding before the Department, any court or any other administrative
agency. It does not signify the Parties’ agreement with any claim or claims made by any
Party in this case. This Settlement Agreement or any of its terms shall not prejudice the
positions that the Parties may take on any issue in any future proceeding not related to
this Settlement Agreement during the term of this Settlement Agreement before the
Department, the courts or any other administrative agency, and shall not be admissible as
evidence therein or in any proceeding not related to the matters covered by this Settlement
Agreement before the Department, the courts or any other administrative agency and shall not
be deemed an admission or concession by any of the Parties in regard to any claim or
position taken by any other of the Parties in such proceedings. The Settlement Agreement is
not intended to establish precedent in such proceedings. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed as a waiver of, or limitation upon any Party’s right to raise any issues contained
herein in any subsequent docket not related to this Settlement Agreement during the term of
this Settlement Agreement.
