                                 ADMINISTRATION

4.01    PERFORMANCE CRITERIA.

        [1]     For each Performance Cycle, the Committee will [a] establish
        each Participant's Target Bonus and [b] develop the Performance Criteria
        that will be applied to determine the portion of the Target Bonus that
        will be paid at the end of the Performance Cycle.

        [2]     In establishing each Participant's Performance Criteria, the
        Committee will consider the relevance of each Participant's assigned
        duties and responsibilities to factors that preserve and increase the
        Company's value. These factors will include:

                [a]     Increasing sales;

                [b]     Developing new products and lines of revenue;

                [c]     Reducing operating expenses;

                [d]     Increasing customer satisfaction;

                [e]     Developing new markets and increasing the Company's
                share of existing markets;

                [f]     Meeting completion schedules;

                [g]     Increasing standardized pricing;

                [h]     Developing and managing relationships with regulatory
                and other governmental agencies;

                [i]     Managing cash;

                [j]     Managing claims against the Company, including
                litigation;

                [k]     Identifying and completing strategic acquisitions; and

                [l]     Increasing the Company's book value.

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

        [3]     The Committee will make appropriate adjustments to reflect:

                [a]     The effect on any Performance Criteria of any Stock
                dividend or Stock split, recapitalization (including, without
                limitation, the payment of an extraordinary dividend), merger,
                consolidation, combination, spin-off, distribution of assets to
                shareholders, exchange of shares or similar corporate change.
                This adjustment to the Performance Criteria will be made [i] to
                the extent the Performance Criteria is based on Stock, [ii] as
                of the effective date of the event and [iii] for the Performance
                Cycle in which the event occurs. Also, the Committee will make a
                similar adjustment to any portion of a Performance Criteria that
                is not based on Stock but which is affected by an event having
                an effect similar to those just described.

                [b]     A substantive change in a Participant's job description
                or assigned duties and responsibilities.

        [4]     Performance Criteria will be established and communicated in
writing to each affected Participant in a Participation Agreement no later than
the earlier of:

                [a]     90 days after the beginning of the applicable
                Performance Cycle; or

                [b]     The expiration of 25 percent of the applicable
                Performance Cycle.

4.02    CERTIFICATION. As of the end of each Performance Cycle, the Committee
will certify to the Board the extent to which each Participant has or has not
met his or her Performance Criteria and the portion (if any) of the Target Bonus
that is to be paid to each Participant.

4.03    ADMINISTRATION. The Committee is responsible for administering the Plan.
In addition to the duties described elsewhere in this Plan, the Committee, by
majority action, may [1] prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, [2] provide for conditions deemed necessary or advisable
to protect the interests of the Company and [3] interpret the Plan and supply
any missing terms needed to administer the Plan. Determinations, interpretations
or other actions made or taken by the Committee under the provisions of this
document will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all
persons.

                                  SECTION 5.00

EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DURING PERFORMANCE CYCLE;
CHANGE IN CONTROL

5.01 EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DURING PERFORMANCE CYCLE FOR REASONS
OTHER THAN RETIREMENT, DEATH OR DISABILITY. Except as provided in Section

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

5.02 and subject to any employment contract or other agreement between the
Company and the Participant, a Participant who terminates employment before the
end of a Performance Cycle will forfeit all right to receive any amount under
this Plan. However, in all cases a terminated Participant will receive any
amounts earned during any Performance Cycle that ended before his or her
termination (e.g., if the Committee has not then valued or distributed amounts
earned during a Performance Cycle that ended before the Participant terminated).

5.02    EFFECT OF RETIREMENT, DEATH OR DISABILITY DURING PERFORMANCE CYCLE. A
Participant who Retires, dies or becomes Disabled during a Performance Cycle
will receive a prorated distribution at the end of the Performance Cycle during
which he or she Retired, died or became Disabled. The amount of this
distribution will be calculated at the end of the Performance Cycle by applying
the following procedure:

        [1]     As of the end of the Performance Cycle during which the affected
        Participant Retired, died or became Disabled, the Committee will apply
        the Performance Criteria to measure the portion of the Target Bonus to
        be distributed. This calculation will be made in the manner described in
        Section 4.02 and will be made as if the Retired, deceased or Disabled
        Participant had remained actively employed throughout the Performance
        Cycle.

        [2]     The Committee then will multiply the amount produced under
        Section 5.02[1] by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
        whole calendar months during which the Retired, deceased or Disabled
        Participant was actively employed during the Performance Cycle and the
        denominator of which is the number of whole calendar months in the
        Performance Cycle.

        [3]     Then, the Committee will direct the Company to distribute the
        amount calculated in the form and at the time described in Section 6.00
        to, as appropriate, the Retired or Disabled Participant or to the
        beneficiary of the deceased Participant.

5.03    CHANGE IN CONTROL. Within 60 days after the completion of a Change in
Control, the Company will distribute to each Participant their Target Bonus for
the year in which the Change in Control occurs. This distribution will be made
whether or not the Performance Criteria for that period have been met and
whether or not the pending Performance Cycle has been completed. However, if the
sum of the payments described in this section and those provided under all other
plans, programs or agreements between the Participant and the Company or any
Subsidiary constitute "excess parachute payments" as defined in Code
Section 280G(b)(1), the Company will either:

        [1]     Reimburse the Participant for the amount of any excise tax due
        under Code Section 4999 (but not for any income taxes or additional
        excise taxes associated with this initial payment), if this procedure
        provides the affected Participant with

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

        an after-tax amount that is larger than the after-tax amount produced
        under Section 5.03[2]; or

        [2]     Reduce the amounts paid to the Participant under this Plan so
        that his or her total "parachute payment" as defined in Code
        Section 280G(b)(2)(A) under this and any all other plans, programs or
        agreements between the Participant and the Company or Subsidiary will be
        $1.00 less than the amount that would be an "excess parachute payment,"
        if this procedure provides the Participant with an after-tax amount that
        is larger than the after-tax amount produced under Section 5.03[1].

                                       -6-

                                  SECTION 6.00

                          FORM AND TIME OF DISTRIBUTION

6.01    DISTRIBUTION. Subject to Sections 6.02 and 8.04, the amount determined
by applying the procedures described in Sections 4.00 and 5.00 will be
distributed in a lump sum no later than 90 days after the end of the applicable
Performance Cycle.

6.02    DEFERRAL OF DISTRIBUTION. Each Participant may direct the Company to
defer all or any portion of his or her Plan distribution by electing to have
that amount credited to his or her account under the Dominion Homes. Inc.
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan or any successor plan and having that
amount distributed under the terms of that plan. This election must be made in
the Participation Agreement that relates to the Performance Cycle during which
the deferred amount may be earned. Once filed, this election will be
irrevocable.

                                  SECTION 7.00

                 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Board or the Committee may terminate, suspend or amend the Plan at any time
without shareholder approval except to the extent that shareholder approval is
required to satisfy applicable requirements imposed by [1] Rule 16b-3 under the
Act, or any successor rule or regulation, [2] applicable requirements of the
Code or [3] any securities exchange on which the Company's securities are
listed. Also, no Plan amendment may [4] result in the loss of a Committee
member's status as a "non- employee director" as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the
Act, or any successor rule or regulation, with respect to any employee benefit
plan of the Company, [5] cause the Plan to fail to meet requirements imposed by
Rule 16b-3 or [6] without the consent of the affected Participant adversely
affect his or her ability to earn any Target Bonus for which Performance
Criteria were established before the amendment, modification or termination of
the Plan.

                                  SECTION 8.00

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

8.01    ASSIGNABILITY. Except as provided in Section 8.02, no Participant may
transfer, alienate, pledge, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise assign his or her
rights to receive a distribution under the Plan to any other person and any
attempt to do so will be void.

8.02    BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. Each Participant may from time to time name any
beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to
whom any amount under the Plan will be paid as provided in Section 5.02. Each
designation must be made on a form acceptable to the Committee and will be
effective only after it is delivered to the Committee. In the absence of any
beneficiary designation, amounts

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

remaining unpaid at the Participant's death will be paid to the deceased
Participant's surviving spouse, if any, or otherwise to his or her estate. The
Participant (and his or her beneficiary) and not the Company or the Committee is
responsible for keeping the Committee apprised of the beneficiary's address.
Also, neither the Company nor the Committee is required to search for any
beneficiary beyond sending a registered letter to the beneficiary at the latest
address given to it by the Participant or beneficiary. Any amount otherwise
payable to a beneficiary whom the Committee cannot locate at this address will
be forfeited. However, if, within one year of the Participant's death, the
beneficiary files a claim and establishes that he or she is the deceased
Participant's beneficiary, the Committee will direct the Company to pay (and the
Company will pay) any amount that was payable at the death of the Participant.
However, no amount will be paid representing the time value of the delayed
distribution. If this claim is not filed within one year of the Participant's
death, the amount will be forfeited irrevocably.

8.03    NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT OR PARTICIPATION. Nothing in the Plan will
interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to
terminate any Participant's employment at any time, nor confer upon any
Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any
Subsidiary. Also, [1] receipt of a Target Bonus for any Performance Cycle is no
guarantee that a Participant will receive a similar (or any) Target Bonus for
any subsequent Performance Cycle and [2] establishment of Performance Criteria
for any Performance Cycle is no guarantee that identical or similar criteria
will be established for any subsequent Performance Cycle.

8.04    TAX WITHHOLDING. Before distributing any amount under the Plan, the
Company will withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local
income and employment tax withholding requirements imposed on the amount of any
distribution under the Plan.

8.05    INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who is or has been a member of the
Committee or of the Board will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company
against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon
or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any
claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be made a party or in
which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act
under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in
settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him or her in
satisfaction of any judgment in any 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 is not
exclusive and is independent of any other rights of indemnification to which
such persons may be entitled under the Company's Code of Regulations, by
contract, as a matter of law or otherwise.

8.06    NO LIMITATION ON COMPENSATION. Nothing in the Plan is to be construed to
limit the right of the Company to establish other plans or to pay compensation
to its

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

employees, in cash or property, in a manner not expressly authorized under this
document.

8.07    GOVERNING LAW. The Plan, and all agreements under it, will be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.

                                             -9-

<PAGE>

8.08    RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.

        [1]     Any controversy of claim arising out of, or relating to, this
        Plan will be settled by arbitration in the city of Columbus, Ohio, in
        accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and
        judgement on the award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators may be
        entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

        [2]     If the Company refuses or otherwise fails to make a payment when
        due and it is ultimately decided that the Participant is entitled to
        that payment, the payment will be increased to reflect an interest
        equivalent for the period of delay, compounded annually, equal to the
        prime or base lending rate used by The Huntington National Bank and in
        effect as of the date the payment was first due.

        [3]     The costs of arbitration will be borne solely by the person by
        which they are incurred.

8.09    TERM OF PLAN. The Plan will be effective upon its adoption by the
Committee, subject to approval by the Board and approval by the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the shares of voting stock present in person or
represented by proxy at the first annual meeting of shareholders occurring after
the Board approves the Plan.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.3

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                           (Eligible Director Option)

        THIS AGREEMENT is made to be effective as of May 2, 2002 (the "GRANT
DATE"), by and between Dominion Homes, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the
"COMPANY"), and Pete A. Klisares (the "OPTIONEE").

                                   WITNESSETH:

        WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the COMPANY adopted the Borror
Corporation Incentive Stock Plan (the "PLAN") on February 28, 1994;

        WHEREAS, the shareholders of the COMPANY, upon the recommendation of the
COMPANY's Board of Directors, approved the PLAN on March 3, 1994; and

        WHEREAS, the PLAN was amended as of December 5, 1995, May 7, 1997, and
July 28, 1998, to, among other things, change the name of the PLAN to the
Dominion Homes, Inc. Incentive Stock Plan; and

        WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the PLAN, a Director Option (as that
term is defined in the PLAN) to acquire two thousand five hundred (2,500) common
shares, without par value, of the COMPANY (the "SHARES") is to be granted to
each Eligible Director (as that term is defined in the PLAN), including the
OPTIONEE, on the first business day after each annual meeting of shareholders of
the COMPANY, provided that the Eligible Director is serving as a member of the
Board of Directors of the COMPANY on such date, upon the terms and conditions
set forth in the PLAN and in this Agreement;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties hereto
make the following agreement, intending to be legally bound thereby:

        1.      PLAN as Controlling. All terms and conditions of the PLAN, as it
may be amended from time to time, applicable to Director Options granted
thereunder shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the PLAN
as in effect on the date of this Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A. In the
event that any provision in this Agreement conflicts with any term in the PLAN,
the term in the PLAN shall be deemed controlling.

        2.      Grant of OPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions of both the
PLAN and this Agreement, the COMPANY hereby grants to the OPTIONEE a Director
Option (the "OPTION") to purchase 2,500 SHARES. The OPTION is not intended to
qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE").

<PAGE>

        3.      Terms and Conditions of the OPTION.

                (A)     EXERCISE PRICE. The purchase price (the "EXERCISE
PRICE") to be paid by the OPTIONEE to the COMPANY upon the exercise of the
OPTION shall be Twenty-two and 05/100 Dollars ($10.33) per SHARE, being 100% of
the Fair Market Value (as that term is defined in the PLAN) of the SHARES on the
GRANT DATE.

                (B)     Exercise of the OPTION. Subject to the provisions of the
PLAN and the other provisions of this Agreement, the OPTION shall remain
exercisable on the GRANT DATE and shall remain exercisable until the date of
expiration of the OPTION term.

                The grant of this OPTION shall not confer upon the OPTIONEE any
right to continue as a Director of the COMPANY nor limit in any way the right of
the shareholders of the COMPANY to terminate the services of the OPTIONEE at any
time.

                (C)     OPTION Term. The OPTION shall in no event be exercisable
after the expiration of ten (10) years from the GRANT DATE.

                (E)     Method of Exercise. The OPTION may be exercised by
giving written notice of exercise to the COMMITTEE in care of the Treasurer of
the COMPANY stating the number of SHARES subject to the OPTION in respect of
which it is being exercised. The OPTIONEE shall be required, as a condition
precedent to the OPTIONEE's right to exercise the OPTION and at the OPTIONEE's
expense, to supply the COMMITTEE with such evidence, representations and
agreements as the COMMITTEE may deem necessary or desirable to establish the
OPTIONEE's right to exercise the OPTION and the propriety of the sale of the
SHARES by reason of such exercise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
from time to time (the "Securities Act"), and any other laws or requirements of
any governmental authority. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the OPTION shall not be exercisable unless the sale of the SHARES by reason of
such exercise has been registered under the Securities Act and all other
applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction or unless such sale is exempt
from such registration requirements.

                Payment of the EXERCISE PRICE for all such SHARES shall be made
to the COMPANY at the time the OPTION is exercised in such form as authorized by
Section 6(d) of the PLAN. After payment in full for the SHARES purchased under
the OPTION has been made, the COMPANY shall take all such action as is necessary
to deliver appropriate stock certificates evidencing the SHARES purchased upon
the exercise of the OPTION as promptly thereafter as is reasonably practicable.

                (F)     Satisfaction of Taxes and Tax Withholding Requirements.
The COMPANY or a Subsidiary shall be entitled and is authorized, if the
COMMITTEE deems it necessary or desirable, to withhold (or secure payment from
the OPTIONEE in lieu of withholding) as provided in Section 10(e) of the PLAN.

of any SHARES pursuant to the exercise of the OPTION unless indemnified to its
satisfaction in this regard.

        4.      Adjustments and Changes in the SHARES Subject to the OPTION.

        In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the
form of SHARES, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock
split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of SHARES or other securities of
the COMPANY, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase SHARES or other
securities of the COMPANY, or other similar corporate transaction or event
affects the SHARES such that an adjustment is necessary in regard to outstanding
Options (as that term is defined in the PLAN) held by Participants (as that
terms is defined in the PLAN) and such adjustment is made by the COMMITTEE
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 4(b) of the PLAN in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be
made available under the PLAN, the COMMITTEE shall make a corresponding
adjustment to the OPTION.

        5.      Non-Assignability of the OPTION.

                (A)     During the lifetime of the OPTIONEE, the OPTION shall
not be assignable or transferable and may be exercised only by the OPTIONEE, or,
if permissible under applicable law, by the OPTIONEE's guardian or legal
representative or a transferee receiving the OPTION pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order ("QDRO"), as determined by the COMMITTEE.

                (B)     The OPTION may not be assigned, alienated, pledged,
attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the OPTIONEE otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a QDRO, and
any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or
encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the COMPANY or any
Subsidiary.

        6.      Exercise After Termination of Employment.

                (A)     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the
PLAN, the OPTION is exercisable only by the OPTIONEE.

                (B)     Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, if the
OPTIONEE ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the COMPANY, the
OPTION must be exercised on or before the earlier of three months after the date
the OPTIONEE ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the COMPANY or
the fixed expiration date of the OPTION, after which period the OPTION shall
expire; provided, however, that if the OPTIONEE ceases to be a member of the
Board of Directors of the COMPANY after having been convicted of, or pled guilty
or nolo contendere to, a felony, the OPTION shall be cancelled on the date the
OPTIONEE ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the COMPANY.

                (C)     In the event of the death of the OPTIONEE while a member
of the Board of Directors of the COMPANY, the OPTION shall be exercisable by his
estate for a period ending on the earlier of the fixed expiration date of the
OPTION or twelve months after the date of death, after which period the OPTION
shall expire. For purposes hereof, the estate of the OPTIONEE shall be defined
to include the legal representative thereof or any person who has acquired the
right to exercise the OPTION by reason of the death of the OPTIONEE.

                (D)     In the event the OPTIONEE ceases to be a member of the
Board of Directors of the COMPANY by reason of the "disability" of the OPTIONEE,
the OPTION shall be exercisable by the OPTIONEE or his guardian or legal
representative for a period ending on the earlier of twelve months after the
OPTIONEE ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the COMPANY or the
fixed expiration date of the OPTION. For purposes hereof, "disability" shall
have the same meaning as that set forth for that term in Section 22(e)(3) of the
CODE, or any successor provision as in effect from time to time.

        7.      Restrictions on Transfers of SHARES. Anything contained in this
Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, the OPTION may not be
exercised if the COMMITTEE determines that the sale of SHARES upon exercise of
the OPTION may violate the Securities Act or any other law or requirement of any
governmental authority. An appropriate restrictive legend shall be placed on
certificates representing SHARES acquired upon the exercise of the OPTION,
unless the COMMITTEE determines, upon the advice of counsel to the COMPANY, that
such legend is not required because of the existence of an effective
registration statement registering the SHARES under the Securities Act or
because all applicable federal and state legal requirements have been satisfied.

        8.      No Rights of the OPTIONEE as a Shareholder. The OPTIONEE shall
have no rights as a shareholder of the COMPANY with respect to any SHARES
covered by the OPTION until the date of issuance of a certificate to the
OPTIONEE evidencing such SHARES.

        9.      Governing Law. The rights and obligations of the OPTIONEE and
the COMPANY under this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio (without giving effect to the
conflict of laws principles thereof) in all respects, including, without
limitation, matters relating to the validity, construction, interpretation,
administration, effect, enforcement, and remedies provisions of the PLAN and its
rules and regulations, except to the extent preempted by applicable federal law.

        10.     Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of the
COMPANY and of the OPTIONEE enumerated in this Agreement shall be cumulative
and, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, none shall
exclude any other rights or remedies allowed by law or in equity, and each of
said rights or remedies may be exercised and enforced concurrently.

        11.     Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are included
only for convenience of reference and do not define, limit, explain or modify

interpretation, construction or meaning and are in no way to be construed as a
part of this Agreement.

        12.     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application of any provision hereof to any person or any circumstance shall be
determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then such determination shall not
affect any other provision of this Agreement or the application of said
provision to any other person or circumstance, all of which other provisions
shall remain in full force and effect, and it is the intention of each party to
this Agreement that if any provision of this Agreement is susceptible of two or
more constructions, one of which would render the provision enforceable and the
other or others of which would render the provision unenforceable, then the
provision shall have the meaning which renders it enforceable.

        13.     Number and Gender. When used in this Agreement, the number and
gender of each pronoun shall be construed to be such number and gender as the
context, circumstances or its antecedent may require.

        14.     Amendment, Etc. of OPTION. The COMMITTEE may waive any
conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue,
cancel or terminate, the OPTION, prospectively or retroactively; provided that
any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation
or termination that would impair the rights of the OPTIONEE or any holder or
beneficiary of the OPTION shall not to that extent be effective without the
consent of the OPTIONEE, holder or beneficiary.

        15.     Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the PLAN as amended
from time to time incorporated by reference herein, constitutes the entire
agreement between the COMPANY and the OPTIONEE in respect of the subject matter
of this Agreement, and this Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
agreements between the parties hereto in connection with the subject matter of
this Agreement. No change, termination or attempted waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon any party hereto unless
contained in a writing signed by the party to be charged.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed to be effective as of the date first above written.
