RESERVES. Upon the allocation of Awards pursuant to Section 6.02 of this
Agreement, or the decision of the Committee to return Plan Shares to the

forfeited by the Recipient pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement shall
be retained in the Plan Share Reserve.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                            ELIGIBILITY; ALLOCATIONS

      6.01 ELIGIBILITY. Directors and Employees are eligible to receive Awards
within the sole discretion of the Committee.

      6.02 ALLOCATIONS. The Committee will determine in its sole discretion
which of the Directors and Employees will be granted Awards and the number of
Plan Shares covered by each Award; provided, however, if this Plan is
implemented prior to the first anniversary of the effective date of the
Conversion, the following restrictions shall apply: (a) the aggregate number of
Plan Shares covered by Awards to any one Employee shall not exceed 25% of the
total number of Plan Shares, (b) no more than 5% of the Plan Shares shall be
awarded to any Director who is not an Employee, and (c) no more than 30% of the
Plan Shares shall be awarded in the aggregate to Directors who are not
Employees. In the event that Plan Shares are forfeited for any reason, the
Committee may, from time to time, determine which of the Employees and Directors
will be granted additional Awards to be awarded from forfeited Plan Shares.

      In selecting the Directors and Employees to whom Awards will be granted
and the number of shares covered by such Awards, the Committee shall consider
the position, duties and responsibilities of the eligible Directors and
Employees, the value of their services to the Corporation, the Bank and any
Subsidiary and any other factors the Committee may deem relevant.

      6.03 FORM OF ALLOCATION. As promptly as practicable after a determination
is made pursuant to Section 6.02 of this Agreement that an Award is to be made,
the Committee shall notify the Recipient in writing of the grant of the Award,
the number of Plan Shares covered by the Award and the terms upon which the Plan
Shares subject to the Award may be earned. The date on which the Committee
determines that an Award is to be made or a later date designated by the
Committee shall be considered the date of grant of the Award. The Committee
shall maintain records as to all grants of Awards.

      6.04 ALLOCATIONS NOT REQUIRED. None of the Directors or Employees, either
individually or as a group, shall have any right or entitlement to receive an
Award. The Committee may, with the approval of the Board, and shall, if so
directed by the Board, return all Common Shares and other assets in the Plan
Share Reserve to the Corporation at any time and thereafter cease issuing
Awards.

      6.05 SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. If this Plan is implemented prior to the first
anniversary of the effective date of the Conversion, this Agreement shall be
submitted to the shareholders of the Corporation for approval at an annual or
special meeting to be held no sooner than six months after the effective date of
the Conversion and no Awards shall be granted hereunder until the shareholders
of the Corporation approve this Agreement.

                                                                             41.

      7.01 EARNING PLAN SHARES; FORFEITURES.

            (a) GENERAL RULES. Unless the Committee shall specifically state a
longer period of time over which Awards shall be earned and non-forfeitable at
the time an Award is granted, Plan Shares covered by each Award shall become
earned and non-forfeitable by a Recipient over a period of five years at the
rate of one-fifth per year commencing on the date which is one year after the
date of the grant of such Award, if this Plan is implemented prior to the first
anniversary of the effective date of the Conversion. As Plan Shares become
earned and non-forfeitable, any cash dividends, returned capital and earnings
thereon shall also become earned and non-forfeitable.

            (b) REVOCATION. Unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws and
regulations, any Plan Shares and any cash dividends, returned capital and
earnings thereon that have not become earned and non-forfeitable in accordance
with Section 7.01(a) of this Agreement shall be forfeited in the event that a
Recipient is no longer a Director or an Employee, except as otherwise provided
in subsection (c) of this Section 7.01.

            (c) EXCEPTION FOR TERMINATIONS DUE TO DEATH OR DISABILITY. All Plan
Shares and cash dividends, returned capital and earnings thereon subject to an
Award held by a Recipient whose service as a Director or Employee terminates due
to (i) death or (ii) disability (as determined by the Committee) shall be deemed
fully earned and non-forfeitable as of the later of the Recipient's last day of
service as a Director or as an Employee and shall be distributed as soon as
practicable thereafter.

      7.02 DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN SHARES.

            (a) TIMING OF DISTRIBUTIONS: GENERAL RULE. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Plan Shares shall be distributed to the Recipient or
his or her Beneficiary, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after they
become earned and non-forfeitable, together with any cash distributions,
returned capital and earnings with respect to such Plan Shares.

            (b) FORM OF DISTRIBUTION. All distributions of Plan Shares, together
with any shares representing stock dividends, shall be distributed in the form
of Common Shares. No fractional shares shall be distributed. Payments
representing cash dividends, returned capital and earnings thereon shall be made
in cash.

            (c) WITHHOLDING. The Trustee may withhold from any cash payment made
pursuant to this Plan sufficient amounts to cover any applicable withholding and
employment taxes and, if the amount of such cash payment is not sufficient, the
Trustee may require the Recipient or Beneficiary to pay to the Trustee the
amount required to be withheld as a condition of delivering the Plan Shares
which have become earned and non-forfeitable. The Trustee shall pay over to the
Bank, the Corporation or the Subsidiary which employs or employed such Recipient
or which the Recipient serves or served as a Director, any such amount withheld
from or paid by the Recipient or Beneficiary.

            (d) REGULATORY EXCEPTIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, no Plan Shares, upon becoming earned and non-forfeitable,
shall be distributed unless and until all of the requirements of all applicable
laws and regulations shall have been met.

      7.03 VOTING OF PLAN SHARES. All Common Shares held by the Trustee in the
Plan Share Reserve which have not yet been earned by a Recipient pursuant to
Section 7.01 of this Agreement shall be voted by the Trustee. A Recipient shall
be entitled to direct the voting of Plan Shares which have been earned pursuant
to Section 7.01 of this Agreement but have not yet been distributed to him.

                                                                             42.

      maintained showing that such security is an asset of the Trust);

            (e) To hold cash without interest in such amounts as may be
      reasonable, in the opinion of the Trustee, for the proper operation of the

Awards which could not have been granted under the prior version of the Plan
shall be made prior to shareholder approval of this amended and restated version
of the Plan.

     2.2 TERM. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate
on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date, and no Awards may be
granted under the Plan thereafter. The termination of the Plan shall not affect
any Award that is outstanding on the termination date, without the consent of
the Participant.

                                  STOCK OPTIONS

     7.1 GENERAL. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants
on the following terms and conditions:

          (a) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share of Stock under an
Option shall be the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant.

          (b) TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. Except as provided herein, the
Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised
in whole or in part. The Committee shall also determine the performance or other
conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may
be exercised; provided, however, in no event shall an Option granted to a
Participant who is not a member of the Board be exercisable before the
Participant has completed one year of continued employment or service with the
Company. An Option will lapse immediately if a Participant's employment or
services are terminated for Cause.

               (1) The Option of any Participant whose employment is terminated
for any reason, other than for death, Disability or Cause shall be exercisable
to the extent provided therein, through the earlier of the date which is three
months after termination of employment or the date that such Option expires in
accordance with its terms, and shall expire thereafter.

               (2) In the event of the death of a Participant while an employee
of the Company or within three months after the termination of employment of the
Participant for other than Cause, or in the event of the termination of
employment by a Participant for Disability, the Option may be exercised as
follows:

                    (A) In the event of the death of a Participant during
employment or the death of the Participant within three months after the
termination of employment for other than Cause, each Option granted to such
Participant shall be exercisable to the extent provided therein but not later
than one year after his or her death (but not beyond the stated duration of the
Option). Any such exercise shall be made only by or to the executor or
administrator of the estate of the deceased Participant or person or persons to
whom the deceased Participant's rights under the Option shall pass by will or
the laws of descent and distribution and to the extent, if any, that the
deceased Participant was entitled at the date of his or her death.

                    (B) In the case of a Participant whose employment is
terminated on account of Disability, the Option shall be exercisable or payable
to the extent provided therein on the earlier of one year after termination of
employment or the date that such Option expires in accordance with its terms.
During such period, the Option may be exercised by the Participant with respect
to the same number of shares, in the same manner and to the same extent as if
the Participant had continued employment during such period.

               (3) Each Option granted under the Plan shall, by its terms, not
be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Plan, a
Participant who holds Options may transfer such Options (but not Incentive Stock
Options) to his or her spouse, lineal ascendants, lineal descendants, or to a
duly established trust for the benefit of one or more of these individuals.
Options so transferred may thereafter be transferred only to the Participant who
originally received the grant or to an individual or trust to whom the
Participant could have initially transferred the Options pursuant to this
Section 7.1(b)(3). Options which are transferred pursuant to this Section
7.1(b)(3) shall be exercisable by the transferee according to the same terms and
conditions as applied to the Participant.

               (4) For the purposes of this Section, Options granted to
directors may be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the
Option. In the event of the death of the director, Options may be exercised at
any time prior to the expiration date of the option. Any such exercise or
payment shall be made only by or to the executor or administrator of the estate
of the deceased Director or person or persons to whom the deceased Director's
rights under the Option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and
distribution and to the extent, if any, that the deceased Director was entitled
at the date of his or her death.

                                       6

          (c) PAYMENT. An Option shall be exercised by giving a written notice
to the President of the Company stating the number of shares of Stock with
respect to which the Option is being exercised and containing such other
information as the President may request and by tendering payment therefore with
a cashier's check, certified check, or with existing holdings of Common Stock
held for more than six months.

          (d) EVIDENCE OF GRANT. All Options shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement. The Award Agreement shall include such additional provisions as may
be specified by the Committee.

     7.2 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only
to employees and the terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan
must comply with the following additional rules:

          (a) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share of Stock shall be set
by the Committee, provided that the exercise price for any Incentive Stock
Option may not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the date of the grant.

          (b) EXERCISE. In no event, may any Incentive Stock Option be
exercisable for more than ten years from the date of its grant.

          (c) LAPSE OF OPTION. An Incentive Stock Option shall lapse under the
following circumstances.

                    (1) The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse ten years from
the date it is granted, unless an earlier time is set in the Award Agreement.

                    (2) The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse upon termination
of employment for Cause or for any other reason, other than the Participant's
death or Disability, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.

                    (3) If the Participant terminates employment on account of
Disability or death before the Option lapses pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2)
above, the Incentive Stock Option shall lapse, unless it was previously
exercised, on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Option would have lapsed
had the Participant not become Disabled or lived and had his employment status
(i.e., whether the Participant was employed by the Company on the date of his
Disability or death or had previously terminated employment) remained unchanged;
or (ii) 12 months after the date of the Participant's termination of employment
on account of Disability or death.

          (d) INDIVIDUAL DOLLAR LIMITATION. The aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined as of the time an Award is made) of all shares of Stock with respect
to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any
calendar year may not exceed $100,000.00 or such other limitation as imposed by
Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that
Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such
limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock Options.

          (e) TEN PERCENT OWNERS. An Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to
any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than ten
percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Stock of the
Company only if such Option is granted at a price that is not less than 110% of
Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more
than five years from the date of grant.

          (f) RIGHT TO EXERCISE. During a Participant's lifetime, an Incentive
Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant.

Agreement. The terms, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, form of
consideration payable in settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any
Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the
grant of the Award and shall be reflected in the Award Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                                  STOCK AWARDS

     9.1 GRANT OF STOCK. The Committee is authorized to grant Unrestricted Stock
Awards and Restricted Stock Awards to Participants in such amounts and subject
to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. All such Awards
shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

     9.2 ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS. An Unrestricted Stock Award may provide for
a transfer of shares of Stock to a Participant at the time the Award is granted,
or it may provide for a deferred transfer of shares of Stock subject to
conditions prescribed by the Committee. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject
to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture as the Committee
may impose. These restrictions and risks may lapse separately or in combination
at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as
the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter.

     9.3 FORFEITURE. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time
of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment during
the applicable restriction period, Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award
that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited, provided,
however, that the Committee may provide in any Restricted Stock Award that
restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to the Stock will be waived in
whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes,
and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or
forfeiture conditions relating to the Stock.

     9.4 CERTIFICATES FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted Stock Awards granted
under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine.
If certificates representing shares of Stock subject to Restricted Stock Awards
are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an
appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions
applicable to such shares, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain
physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable
restrictions lapse.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                            PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

     10.1 PURPOSE. The purpose of this Article 10 is to provide the Committee
the ability to qualify the Awards under Article 9 as "performance-based
compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Committee, in its
discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee,
the provisions of this Article 10 shall control over any contrary provision
contained in Article 10.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     10.2 APPLICABILITY. This Article 10 shall apply only to those Covered
Employees selected by the Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards. The
Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Awards to Covered Employees that
do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 10. The designation of a Covered
Employee as a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner
entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover,
designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance
Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant
in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as
a Participant shall not require designation of any other Covered Employees as a
Participant in such period or in any other period.

     10.3 DISCRETION OF COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO PERFORMANCE AWARDS. With
regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have full
discretion to select the length of such Performance Period, the type of
Performance-Based Awards to be issued, the kind and/or level of the Performance
Goal, and whether the Performance Goal is to apply to the Company or any
division or business unit thereof.

     10.4 PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. Unless otherwise provided in the
relevant Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the
last day of the Performance Period to be eligible for a Performance-Based Award
for such Performance Period. In determining the actual size of an individual
Performance-Based Award, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the
Performance-Based Award earned for the Performance Period, if in its sole and
absolute discretion, such reduction or elimination is appropriate.

     10.5 SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The Board shall disclose to the shareholders of
the Company the material terms of any Performance - Based Award, and shall seek
approval of the shareholders of the Performance - Based Award before any Stock
is transferred to a Participant, or before any restrictions with respect to same
lapse, pursuant to such Award. The Committee shall certify that the Performance
Goals with respect to any Performance - Based Award have been achieved before
any Stock is transferred to a Participant, or before any restrictions with
respect to same lapse. Such disclosure, approval and certification shall be
effected in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the
Code.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                         PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

     11.1 STAND-ALONE AND TANDEM AWARDS. Awards granted under the Plan may, in
the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in
tandem with, any other Award granted under the Plan. Awards granted in addition
to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or
at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

     11.2 EXCHANGE PROVISIONS. The Committee may at any time offer to exchange
or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash, Stock, or another
Award, based on the terms and conditions the Committee determines and
communicates to the Participant at the time the offer is made.

     11.3 TERM OF AWARD. The term of each Award shall be for the period as
determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall the term of any
Incentive Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with the
Incentive Stock Option exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant.

     11.4 LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any Award
may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other
than the Company, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of
such Participant to any other party other than the Company. No Award shall be
assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, except that the Committee, in its discretion, may
permit a Participant to make a gratuitous transfer of an Award that is not an
Incentive Stock Option to his or her spouse, lineal descendants, lineal
ascendants, or a duly established trust for the benefit of one or more of these
individuals.

     11.5 BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 11.4, a Participant may, in the
manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the
rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution

                                       9
<PAGE>

with respect to any Award upon the Participant's death. A beneficiary, legal
guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the
Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award applicable
to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award otherwise provide,
and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the
Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant,
payment shall be made to the Participant's estate. Subject to the foregoing, a
beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time
provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

     11.6 STOCK CERTIFICATES. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates
evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Awards, unless and
until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and
delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws,
regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of
any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded. All Stock
certificates delivered under the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders
and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply
with Federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules
and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee
may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable
to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board
may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and
representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to
comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements.

     11.7 LOAN AGREEMENTS. Each Award shall be subject to the condition that the
Company shall not be obligated to issue or transfer any Stock or cash to the
holder of the Award, upon the exercise or vesting thereof, if at any time the
Committee or the Board shall determine that the issuance or transfer of such
Stock or cash would be in violation of any covenant in any of the Company's loan
agreements or other contracts.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                            DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION

     12.1 RIGHT TO DEFER COMPENSATION.

          (a) TYPES OF DEFERRALS. Any Participant designated by the Board or by
the Committee may elect to defer (i) all or any portion of the Participant's
salary, (ii) any percentage of a fiscal year bonus determined by the Board or
other duly constituted authority or delegate to be paid to such Participant, or
(iii) all or any portion of the Participant's director's fees. Such election
shall remain in force for all future years until modified or revoked. In
addition, the Committee, in its discretion, may permit a Participant to elect to
defer his or her receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares of
Stock that would otherwise be due to such Participant pursuant to an Award. Any
election under this Section 12.1 shall be made by written notice delivered to
the Board or Committee, specifying the amount (or percentage) of salary and/or
bonus and/or directors' fees and/or the award to be deferred.

          (b) TIMING OF ELECTIONS. A Participant may, at any time within 30 days
of first becoming eligible to participate in this Plan, make an election to
defer salary or director's fees earned after such election. Any increase or
decrease in future deferrals of salary or director's fees earned during a
calendar year must be made by December 1 of the preceding calendar year. A
Participant may make an initial election to defer a bonus for a fiscal year, or
may elect to increase or decrease the amount of a fiscal year bonus to be
deferred, if such election is made by June 1 of the preceding fiscal year;
provided, however, that a Participant may make an election to defer up to fifty
percent (50%) of a bonus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004 if such
election is made by December 1, 2003. A Participant may make an election to
defer the receipt of cash or shares of Stock otherwise payable or transferable
to the Participant pursuant to an Award in accordance with the terms of such
Award.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     12.2 DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS.

          (a) ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS. A Deferred Compensation Account in the
name of each Participant who has elected to defer compensation under the Plan
shall be established and maintained as a special ledger account on the books of
the Company. On the last day of each calendar month in which salary or
director's fees deferred under this Plan would have become payable to a
Participant (in the absence of an election to defer payment thereof), the amount
of such deferred salary or director's fees shall be credited to the
Participant's Deferred Compensation Account. On the last day of the month in
which the bonuses deferred under this Plan would have become payable to a
Participant in the absence of an election to defer payment thereof, the amount
of such deferred bonus shall be credited to the Participant's Deferred
Compensation Account. On the last day of the month in which an Award would have
otherwise become payable or transferable to a Participant in the absence of an
election to defer receipt thereof, the amount of such deferred Award shall be
credited to the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account.

          (b) DEEMED INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT BALANCE.

               (i) Except as otherwise provided by the terms of an Award, the
Participant shall, at the time of making a deferred compensation election under
this Plan, make an election directing the Company to credit to the Deferred
Compensation Account in that calendar year based upon the options made available
by the Board or designated Committee which options may include either cash,
Stock, or a combination of cash and Stock equal in value to the amount of the
current year's salary or bonus deferred under the Plan. In addition to cash or
Stock, the Board or the Committee may offer to the Participant such deemed
investment options as it shall decide are appropriate. Such investment options
may include deemed investments in individual stocks or bonds, mutual funds, and
such other investment options as the Board or Committee may choose. The Board or
Committee shall not be required to offer the same deemed investment options to
each Participant but may restrict certain investment options to designated
Participants. In the absence of a contrary election by a Participant, the amount
credited to a Deferred Compensation Account shall be credited as cash.

               (ii) If the Participant directs that any amount credited to the
Deferred Compensation account be credited in the form of Stock, the Board shall
credit to the Deferred Compensation Account sufficient shares of Stock equal in
value to the Deferred Compensation Account balance, or such lesser amount as the
Participant shall direct. The value of such Stock shall be determined in
accordance with a valuation methodology approved by the Board or by the
Committee. Except as provided in Section 12.6, such Stock credited to the
Deferred Compensation Account shall merely constitute a bookkeeping entry of the
Company, and (except as provided herein) the Participant shall have no voting,
dividend, or other legal or economic rights with respect to such Stock. At the
end of each fiscal quarter, an amount equivalent to all dividends which would
otherwise have been payable with respect to such Stock shall be credited to the
Deferred Compensation Account as additional Stock. The amount of the
Participant's Deferred Compensation Account that is credited as cash shall
accrue interest at a rate no less than the prime rate charged the Company by its
principal bank and shall not exceed the highest rate paid on Individual
Retirement Accounts ("IRAs") by the Bank plus two percent (2%). Such interest
with respect to a Deferred Compensation Account shall be credited to such
account quarterly, based on the weighted average daily prime rate or the IRA
rate for the three (3) month period ending on the last day of the quarter.

               (ii) The Participant shall elect the portion of their deferral to
be allocated to Stock or cash or such other option as made available by the
Board at the time of making such election to defer compensation. Such allocation
may not be amended with respect to such deferral. Any allocation to Stock shall
be paid in the form of Stock. No Participant will be granted the right to take
payment of the Stock in cash rather than in shares.

               (iii) If, at any time, the deferral of a Participant is allocated
to Stock, and such Participant shall be deemed to have violated the short-swing
profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act through such allocation, the
allocation to Stock shall be void and such allocation shall default to cash.

     12.3 PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION.

          (a) IN GENERAL. Amounts credited to a Participant's Deferred
Compensation Account shall be payable upon the Participant's Distribution Event.
The Participant shall determine the method of distributing the amounts in the
Deferred Compensation Account at the time the first election to participate in
the Plan is made, which shall be either a single distribution or a series of up
to ten (10) consecutive, substantially equal annual installments paid to such
Participant or his or her beneficiary, as the case may be, on or before January
15 of each year, commencing in the year following the Distribution Event. If no
such election is made, the method of distribution shall be determined solely by
the Board. If the Participant has elected to receive installment distributions,
and less than the full value of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account
balance has been distributed as of the date of his or her death, the balance
shall be paid to the Participant's beneficiary in accordance with the same
method in effect at the Participant's death, except that the beneficiary may
elect, with the consent of the Committee, to receive the balance of the Deferred
Compensation Account in a single lump sum. For purposes of this Article 12, a
Participant's "beneficiary" shall mean the person or persons designated by the
Participant pursuant to Section 11.5 of this Plan, or, in the absence of such
designation or if no such person survives the Participant, the Participant's
estate. If any portion of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account is
credited with Stock, then distributions from that portion of the Deferred
Compensation Account shall be made directly in the form of Stock. Undistributed
amounts shall continue to earn interest or accrue dividends, as the case may be.

          (b) MODIFICATION OF PAYMENT TERMS. A Participant may change a
Distribution Election at any time at least sixty (60) days prior to a
Distribution Event. If a Participant electing to participate in the Plan ceases
to be an employee of the Company or a member of the Board, prior to full payment
of the entire amount in the Deferred Compensation Account, shall, after
reasonable warning from the Board, persist in an affiliation with any business
that is a principal competitor with a significant portion of the business
conducted by the Company, the entire balance of such Deferred Compensation
Account may, if directed by the Board in its sole discretion, be paid
immediately to such Participant in a lump sum. In the event a Participant dies
prior to receiving payment of the entire amount in the Deferred Compensation
Account, the unpaid balance shall be paid to such beneficiary as may have been
designated by the Participant in writing to the Company as the person, firm or
trust to receive any post-death distribution under this Plan, or, in the absence
of such written designation, to the legal representative or any person, firm or
organization designated in the Participant's last will to receive such
distributions.

          (c) CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control, a
Participant shall be permitted to elect to receive a distribution of all or a
portion of his or her Deferred Compensation Account, provided that any such
election hereunder must be made within the period commencing thirty days prior
to such Change in Control and ending on the date of such Change in Control. Any
distribution pursuant to this Section 12.3(c) shall be made (i) in the form of
cash and/or Stock as his or her Deferred Compensation Account is allocated and
(ii) within seven (7) days subsequent to the Change in Control.

          (d) HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTION IN THE CASE OF FINANCIAL EMERGENCY. Prior to
the time a Deferred Compensation Account of a Participant would otherwise become
payable, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to distribute all or a
portion of the Deferred Compensation Account in the event such Participant
requests a distribution by reason of severe financial hardship. For purposes of
this Plan, severe financial hardship shall be deemed to exist in the event the
Committee determines that a Participant needs a distribution to meet immediate
and heavy financial needs resulting from a sudden or unexpected illness or
accident of the Participant, or a member of his or her family, loss of the
Participant's property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and
unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of
the Participant. A distribution based on financial hardship shall not exceed the
amount required to meet the immediate financial need created by the hardship. In
the event the Participant is a member of the Committee making such
determination, the Participant shall not participate in the decision by the
Committee.

     12.4 TRUST PROVISIONS.

          (a) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. The Company may in its sole discretion
establish one or more trusts to provide a source of payment for its obligations
under the Plan and such trust shall be permitted to hold cash, Stock, or other
assets to the extent of the Company's obligations hereunder. The Company may,
but is

                                       12
<PAGE>

not required to, utilize a single trust with respect to its obligations to
Participants who are members of the Board and Participants who are not members
of the Board.

          (b) CLAIMS OF THE COMPANY'S CREDITORS. All assets held by any trust
created hereunder and all distributions to be made by any trustee pursuant to
this Plan and any trust agreement shall be subject to the claims of general
creditors of the Company, including judgment creditors and bankruptcy creditors.
The rights of a Participant or his or her beneficiaries in or to any assets of
the trust shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the
Company.

          (c) NOTIFICATION OF INSOLVENCY. In the event the Company becomes
insolvent, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company
shall immediately notify the trustees of all trusts created hereunder of that
fact. The trustees shall make no distributions to any Participant or any
beneficiary from any assets held in trust pursuant to the Plan after such
notification is received or at any time after the trustee has actual knowledge
that the Company is insolvent. Under any such circumstance, the trustee shall
dispose of property held in trust pursuant to the Plan only as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct. For purposes of this Plan, the Company shall
be deemed "insolvent" by the trustee if the Company is subject to a pending
voluntary or involuntary proceeding as a debtor under the United States
Bankruptcy Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, whether or not
the Company has provided the trustee with the notification required by this
Section 12.4(c), or if the trustee has been notified pursuant to this Section
12.4(c) that the Company is insolvent.

          12.5 NON-ASSIGNMENT. No right or interest of any Participant or any
person claiming through or under such Participant in the Particiapant's Deferred
Compensation Account shall be assignable or transferable in any manner or be
subject to alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance or other legal
process (including execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, bankruptcy, or
otherwise) or in any manner be subject to the debts or liabilities of such
Participant. If any Participant or any such person shall attempt to or shall
transfer, assign, alienate, anticipate, sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his
or her benefits hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason of his or her
bankruptcy or other event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon
anyone else or would not be enjoyed by him or her, then the Committee, in its
discretion, may terminate his or her interest in any such benefit to the extent
the Committee considers necessary or advisable to prevent or limit the effects
of such occurrence. Termination shall be effected by filing a written
declaration of termination with the Committee's records and making reasonable
efforts to deliver a copy to such Participant or any such other person or his or
her legal representative. As long as any Participant is alive, any amounts
affected by the termination shall be retained by the Company or the trustee of
any trust established pursuant to Section 12.4 of this Plan and, in the
Committee's sole and absolute discretion, may be paid to or expended for the
benefit of such Participant, his or her spouse, his or her children, or any
other person or persons in fact dependent upon him or her in such a manner as
the Committee shall deem proper.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                          CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

     13.1 GENERAL.

          (a) SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANT. In the event of any change in the
number of shares of Stock outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or
similar corporate change, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock with
respect to which the Committee may grant Awards shall be appropriately adjusted
by the Committee. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Stock
outstanding by reason of any other event or transaction, the Committee may, but
need not, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares of Stock with
respect to which Awards may be granted as the Committee may deem appropriate.

          (b) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - INCREASE OR DECREASE IN ISSUED SHARES WITHOUT
CONSIDERATION. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the
Company, in the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares
of Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock or the
payment of a stock dividend (but only on the shares of Stock), or any other
increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt or
payment of consideration by the Company, the

                                       13
<PAGE>

Committee shall proportionally adjust the number of shares of Stock subject to
each outstanding Award and the exercise price per share of Stock of each such
Award.

          (c) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - CERTAIN MERGERS. Subject to any required
action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event that the Company shall
be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or
consolidation as a result of which the holders of shares of Stock receive
securities of another corporation), each Award outstanding on the date of such
merger or consolidation shall pertain to and apply to the securities which a
holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award would have
received in such merger or consolidation.

          (d) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - CERTAIN OTHER TRANSACTIONS. In the event of
(i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets, (iii) a merger or consolidation
involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or
(iv) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the
surviving corporation but the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of
another corporation and/or other property, including cash, the Committee shall,
in its absolute discretion, have the power to:

               (1) cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such
event, each Award outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not
then exercisable), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the
Participant to whom such Award was granted an amount in cash, for each share of
Stock subject to such Award, respectively, equal to the excess of (A) the value,
as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion, of the property
(including cash) received by the holder of a share of Stock as a result of such
event over (B) the exercise of such Award; or

               (2) provide for the exchange of each Award outstanding
immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable) for an option,
a stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, performance share award or
performance-based award with respect to, as appropriate, some or all of the
property for which such Award is exchanged and, incident thereto, make an
equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion
in the exercise price or value of the option, stock appreciate right, restricted
stock award, performance share award or performance-based award or the number of
shares or amount of property subject to the option, stock appreciation right,
restricted stock award, performance share award or performance-based award or,
if appropriate, provide for a cash payment to the Participant to whom such Award
was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Award, or any
combination thereof.

          (e) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - OTHER CHANGES. In the event of any other
change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those
specifically referred to in this Article, the Committee may, in its absolute
discretion, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares subject to
Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in the per share
exercise price of each Award as the Committee may consider appropriate to
prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

          (f) NO OTHER RIGHTS. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no
Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation
of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or
decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution,
liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation.
Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares
of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any
class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or the exercise
price of any Award.

                                   ARTICLE 14
                    AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

     14.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION. At any time and from time to
time, the Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that
the Board shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holder of a majority of
the voting stock of the Company, make any amendment which would (i) abolish the
Committee without designating such other committee, change the qualifications of
its members, or withdraw the administration of the Plan from its supervision,
(ii) increase the maximum number of shares of Stock

                                       14
<PAGE>

for which Awards may be granted under the Plan, (iii) amend the formula for
determination of the exercise price Options, (iv) extend the term of the Plan,
and (v) amend the requirements as to the employees eligible to receive Awards;
and further provided that no other amendment shall be made without shareholder
approval to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with any applicable law,
regulations or stock exchange rule.

     14.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan,
including without limitation, the provisions of Article 13, no termination,
amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material
way any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of
the Participant.

                                   ARTICLE 15
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

     15.1 NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Participant, employee, or other person shall
have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and neither the Company
nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other
persons uniformly.

     15.2 NO STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS. No Award gives the Participant any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until shares of Stock are in
fact issued to such person in connection with such Award.

     15.3 WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the authority and the right to
deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes (including the
Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to
any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. A Participant may elect to
have the Company withhold from those Stock that would otherwise be received upon
the exercise of any Option, a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal
to the minimum statutory amount necessary to satisfy the Company's applicable
federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding
obligations.

     15.4 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES. Nothing in the Plan or any Award
Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to
terminate any Participant's employment or services at any time, nor confer upon
any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company.

     15.5. INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each
member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed
upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from
any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in
which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under
the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in
satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her
provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to
handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it
on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be
entitled under the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of
law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or
hold them harmless.

     15.6 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of stock shall be issued and
the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in
lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated
by rounding up or down as appropriate.

     15.7 GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS. The obligation of the Company to
make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as
may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any of the shares of Stock paid under the
Plan. If the shares paid under the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the

                                       15
<PAGE>

Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems
advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

     15.8 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and the terms of all Awards shall be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.
