                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

         Distributions on each Exchange Capital Security will be payable at a
fixed rate per annum of 9.34% (the "Coupon Rate") of the liquidation amount of
$1,000 per Exchange Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest
payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in
arrears for more than one semi-annual period will bear interest thereon
compounded semi-annually at the Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by
applicable law). The term "Distributions", as used herein, includes such cash
distributions and any and all such interest, if any, and such Liquidated Damages
payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent
that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee
and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds legally available therefor.

         Distributions on the Exchange Capital Securities will be cumulative,
will accumulate from the most recent date to which Distributions have been paid
or, if no Distributions have been paid, from March 31, 2000 and will be payable
semi-annually in arrears, on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing
November 1, 2000, except as otherwise described below. Distributions will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. As
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture,
the Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of
interest by extending the interest payment period at any time and from time to
time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding 10 consecutive calendar
semi-annual periods, including the first such semi-annual period during such
extension period (each an "Extension Period"), PROVIDED THAT no Extension Period
shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date for the Debentures or
extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. As a consequence of such
deferral, Distributions will also be deferred. Notwithstanding such deferral,
semi-annual Distributions will continue to accumulate with interest thereon (to
the extent permitted by applicable law, but not at a rate exceeding the rate of
interest then accruing on the Debentures) at the Coupon Rate compounded
semi-annually during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any
Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further defer payments of interest by
further extending such Extension Period; PROVIDED THAT such Extension Period,
together with all such previous and further extensions within such Extension
Period, may not (i) exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods, including the
first semi-annual period during such Extension Period, (ii) end on a date other
than an Interest Payment Date for the Debentures or (iii) extend beyond the
Maturity Date of the Debentures. Payments of accumulated Distributions will be
payable to Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the
record date immediately preceding the end of the Extension Period. Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, the
Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above
requirements.

         Subject to receipt by the Sponsor of any and all required regulatory
approvals and to certain other conditions set forth in the Declaration and the
Indenture, the Property Trustee may, at the direction of the Sponsor, at any
time dissolve the Trust and cause, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, the Debentures to be
distributed to the Holders of the Securities in liquidation of the Trust or,
simultaneously with any redemption of the Debentures, cause a Like Amount of the
Securities to be redeemed by the Trust.

         The Exchange Capital Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.

         THIS COMMON SECURITIES GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (the "Common Securities
Guarantee"), dated as of March 31, 2000, is executed and delivered by SKY
FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., an Ohio corporation (the "Guarantor"), for the benefit of
the Holders (as defined herein) from time to time of the Common Securities (as

         WHEREAS, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the

time of undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Issuer, the Issuer
is issuing on the date hereof 1,856 common securities having an aggregate
liquidation amount of one million eight hundred fifty-six thousand dollars

         WHEREAS, as incentive for the Holders to purchase the Common

                         DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

SECTION 1.1.  DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION.

         In this Common Securities Guarantee, unless the context otherwise

         (b) terms defined in the Declaration as at the date of execution of
this Common Securities Guarantee have the same meaning when used in this Common
Securities Guarantee unless otherwise defined in this Common Securities
Guarantee;

         (c) a term defined anywhere in this Common Securities Guarantee has the
same meaning throughout;

         (d) all references to "the Common Securities Guarantee" or "this Common
Securities Guarantee" are references to this Common Securities Guarantee as
modified, supplemented or amended from time to time;

         (e) all references in this Common Securities Guarantee to Articles and
Sections are references to Articles and Sections of this Common Securities
Guarantee unless otherwise specified; and

         (f) a term defined in the Trust Indenture Act has the same meaning as
in the Trust Indenture Act unless otherwise defined in this Common Securities
Guarantee; and

         (g) a reference to the singular includes the plural and vice versa.

         "GUARANTEE PAYMENTS" means the following payments or distributions,
without duplication, with respect to the Common Securities, to the extent not
paid or made by or on behalf of the Issuer: (i) any accumulated and unpaid
Distributions (as defined in the Declaration) that are required to be paid on
such Common Securities, to the extent the Issuer has funds legally available
therefor at such time, (ii) the redemption price, including all accumulated and
unpaid Distributions to the date of redemption (the "REDEMPTION PRICE"), to the
extent the Issuer has funds legally available therefor at such time, with
respect to any Common Securities called for redemption, and (iii) upon a
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of the Issuer
(other than in connection with the distribution of Debentures (as defined in the

applicable law (in either case, the "LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTION"). If an Event of
Default under the Declaration, the Series A Capital Securities Guarantee
Agreement or the Series B Capital Securities Guarantee Agreement has occurred
and is continuing, no Guarantee Payments with respect to the Common Securities
shall be made until holders of Capital Securities shall be paid in full the
Guarantee Payments to which they are entitled under the Series A Capital
Securities Guarantee and the Series B Capital Securities Guarantee, as the case
may be.

         "HOLDER" means any holder, as registered on the books and records of
the Issuer, of any Common Securities.

         "OTHER GUARANTEES" means all guarantees, other than this Common
Securities Guarantee, to be issued by the Guarantor with respect to common
securities (if any) similar to the Common Securities issued by trusts other than
the Issuer to be established by the Guarantor (if any), in each case similar to
the Issuer.
