                        --------------------------------

         FIRST AMENDMENT TO RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (the "First
Amendment"), effective as of the 1st day of January, 2001, between FirstMerit
Corporation, an Ohio Corporation (the "Company"), and John R. Cochran (the

                                R E C I T A L S:

         A. The Company and the Grantee entered into a Restricted Stock Award
Agreement, dated as of April 10, 1997, (the "Award Agreement") concerning the
issuance to Grantee of a restricted stock award of the Company's common stock,
no par value ("Common Stock") pursuant to the provisions of the FirstMerit 1997
Stock Plan (the "Plan"). Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Award Agreement and the Plan unless otherwise
specifically indicated in this First Amendment.

         B. Paragraph O of Article IV of the Plan provides that the Committee
may amend the terms of any Award previously granted under the Plan, regardless
of whether such amendment is prospective or retrospective.

         C. The Committee desires to amend the Award Agreement to coordinate
certain of the definitions contained in the Award Agreement with those contained
in the Grantee's Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.

         IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FOREGOING and good and valuable consideration,
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by both the Company and the Grantee,
the Company and Grantee agree that the Award Agreement is hereby amended,
effective as of January 1, 2001, as follows:

         1. Section 3(B) of the Award Agreement is amended and restated to read
as follows:

                  (B) The restrictions set forth in Section 2 above with respect
         to all of the Award Shares, tot he extent they have not lapsed in
         accordance with Subsection 3(A) and to the extent not related to shares
         which previously have been forfeited to the Company, shall lapse on the
         first to happen of the following:

                           (i) the Grantee's employment with the Company is
                  terminated following a Change in Control or by reason of
                  death, Disability, termination of the Grantees's employment by
                  the Company without Cause or termination of the Grantee's
                  employment by the Grantee for Good Reason (for purposes of
                  this subsection (i), the terms "Change in Control,"
                  "Disability," "Cause," and "Good Reason" shall have the same
                  meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended and Restated
                  Employment Agreement, effective January 1, 2001, between the
                  Company and the Grantee (the "Employment

<PAGE>   2

                  Agreement")); or

                           (ii) an action by the Committee, in its sole
                  discretion, terminating such restrictions.

         The provisions of the second sentence of Section IV. L. of the Plan
         shall not apply to this Award and, therefore, the lapse of the
         restrictions set forth in Section 2 upon the occurrence of a Change in
         Control, as provided in Section 3(B)(i), shall not be limited as
         otherwise provided in Section IV. L. of the Plan.

         2. Except as expressly modified by the provisions of this First
Amendment, the provisions of the Award Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Grantee have duly executed this
First Amendment as of the day and year above first written.

the Employer and the Member (the "Employment Agreement")) and if, as a result of
such termination of employment, the Member is entitled to receive the Change in
Control Benefits described in Section 11.2 of the Employment Agreement, then,
for purposes of calculating the Member's Monthly Retirement Income under any
provision of the Plan:

         (a)      the Member shall be deemed to have attained age 65 on the
                  effective date of the termination of his employment with the

                  date;

         (b)      the Member shall be deemed to have earned ten (10) Years of

                  Service under the Plan as of such date; and

         (c)      the Member's Average Monthly Earnings shall be determined by
                  dividing 12 into the total of (i) the annual base salary
                  applicable to the Member as of the effective date of the
                  termination of his employment and (ii) the incentive
                  compensation payment the Member would receive if payment was
                  made at the "target" percentage for the Member under the
                  Company's Annual Incentive Compensation Plan in the year in
                  which occurs the effective date of the Member's termination of
                  employment.

defined in the Employment Agreement) pursuant to Section 9.1(B) of the
Employment Agreement or if the Member terminates his employment for Good Reason
