SKY FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NON-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN

(As Amended Through the Sixth Amendment, Effective December 15, 2002)

Prior to October 2, 1998, Mid Am, Inc. ("Mid Am") maintained the Mid Am, Inc. Non-Qualified Retirement Plan (the "Mid Am Plan"). Mid Am merged into Citizens Bancshares, Inc. effective October 2, 1998 (the "Merger Date"), with the resulting corporation renamed Sky Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company became the sponsor of the Mid Am Plan on the Merger Date, and hereby amends and restates the Mid Am Plan effective January 1, 1999 in the form of this Sky Financial Group, Inc. Non-Qualified Retirement Plan (the "Plan"). On and after the Merger Date, the Plan covers all Directors and Eligible Employees of the Company.

Prior to December 31, 2000, the Company maintained the First Western Bancorp, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "First Western Plan") for the benefit of eligible management and executive employees who were employed by First Western Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and their beneficiaries. Effective December 31, 1999, the First Western Plan was frozen for all purposes. Effective on December 31, 2000, the First Western Plan was merged into this Plan.

The Plan is designed to ensure that the benefits provided to Directors and Eligible Employees enhance the overall effectiveness of the Company's executive compensation program and to attract, retain and motivate such individuals.

Accordingly, the Company hereby adopts the Plan pursuant to the terms and provisions set forth below:

Any amount in a Participant's Account that is forfeited according to Article IV shall be applied toward administrative expenses incurred in connection with the Plan or used to reduce future Company contributions in the sole discretion of the Committee. The Company shall provide each Participant with a written statement of his Accounts at least semi-annually.

The amounts credited to a Participant's Account shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with uniform procedures established by the Committee to reflect the value of an investment equal to the Participant's Account balance in the Investment Funds. The Investment Funds available may be revised from time to time by the Committee with approval of the Trustee of the Trust described in Section 9.2. The Committee, with the approval of the Trustee, may eliminate any Investment Funds available at any time; provided, however, that the Committee may not retroactively eliminate any Investment Fund.

A Participant shall designate the applicable Investment Fund to be used with respect to his or her Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions, Compensation Deferral and Supplemental Matching Contributions Accounts in increments of at least 10%, pursuant to a written investment election form delivered to the Committee on the date he or she commences participation in the Plan. The Participant may change his or her Investment Fund designation with respect to future contributions credited to his or her Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions, Compensation Deferral and Supplemental Matching Contributions Accounts, and/or with respect to amounts previously credited to such Accounts, by notifying the Committee or its designee. A revised investment direction may be made by a Participant in writing on a quarterly basis and shall be effective as of the beginning of the calendar quarter immediately following such written

A Participant may elect to have his or her Account distributed in a lump sum or in substantially equal annual (or more frequent, as permitted by the Committee) installment payments over a period not to exceed fifteen (15) years. If a Participant does not make a valid distribution election, then the manner of payment and date for commencement of payment of the Participant's Account shall be selected by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a distribution of a Participant's Account prior to the date of his or her Employment termination, the Participant may elect to receive a distribution from his or her Account only in the form set forth in clause (ii) and subsection (c) of Section 6.3 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the value of the Participants' Accounts is less than $5,000 at any time after the Participant's Employment Termination, such Accounts shall be distributed to the Participant in a single lump sum distribution, as soon as practicable. If the Participant fails to elect a form or period of distribution, the Participant's Accounts will be paid in a manner selected by the Committee or its designee. The Participant also may elect, at the time of his or her election of Compensation Deferral Contributions, to have distributions commence as soon as practicable after his or her Disability.

-13-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant's Discretionary Company Contributions Account shall be paid in a manner selected by the Committee in its sole discretion

6.3. Timing of Distribution. The balance of a Participant's Accounts shall be distributed to or with respect to the Participant only: (i) upon any date following Employment Termination, as elected by the Participant at least 12-months prior to such date following Employment Termination, (ii) upon any date before Employment Termination, as elected by the Participant, at least 12-months prior to such date, in accordance with subparagraph (c) below, (iii) because of hardship in accordance with Section 6.5, or (iv) to the extent a Participant's Account balance becomes subject to immediate income taxation.

(a) Notwithstanding the Participant's election, distribution of a Participant's Accounts will begin as soon as practicable after the 10-year anniversary of the Participant's Employment Termination; except that distributions to a Participant will not begin sooner than 12-months following his or her election as to the form and timing of such distributions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the balance of a Participant's Stock Option Deferral Account may not be distributed to or with respect to the Participant until a date that is at least 12 months from the date of exercise of the applicable Option.

(c) A Participant may elect, generally at the time of any Deferral Agreement, to receive a lump sum distribution of all or a portion of his or her Accounts, as of any date; provided that each Participant may specify and have outstanding at any time no more than five different future dates for such distributions (as each specified date passes and the distribution is made, an additional specified future date distribution election could be made). An election made in accordance with this subsection (c) will apply only to distributions of the Participant's Account made prior to the date of the Participant's Employment Termination.

(d) Notwithstanding the Participant's election, distribution of a Participant's Accounts will begin as soon as practicable after the Participant's death.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the date for commencement of payment of a Participant's Discretionary Company Contributions Account shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

6.4. Distribution of Insurance Contracts. Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, for any Participant who, pursuant to the Agreements, previously directed that all or a portion of his Deferred Officers Compensation Account (as defined in the Agreements) be invested in a life insurance contract in accordance with Section 5.3, the life insurance contract will be distributed to him or her according to the terms of the contract.

6.5. Distributions Upon Death. If a Participant dies before full distribution of his or her Account, any remaining amounts shall be distributed as soon as practicable after the Participant's death, to the beneficiary, and in the method, designated by the Participant in a writing delivered most recently to the Committee prior to death. If a Participant has not

-14-

designated a beneficiary, or method of distribution, or if no designated beneficiary is living on the date of distribution, such amounts shall be distributed to those persons entitled to receive distributions of the Participant's accounts under the Qualified Savings Plan and in the same method as distribution is made under the Qualified Savings Plan. If the Participant has no account under the Qualified Savings Plan, such amounts shall be distributed to those persons entitled to receive distributions of the Participant's accounts under the Qualified Pension Plan and in the same method as distribution is made under the Qualified Pension Plan. If the Participant has no accounts under the Qualified Plans, distribution of the Participant's Account shall be made to the Participant's estate.

6.6. Hardship Distributions. In the discretion of the Committee, and at the written request of a Participant, an amount up to 100 percent of his or her vested Account may be distributed to a Participant in the case of an "unforeseeable emergency," subject to the limitations set forth below. For purposes of this Section 6.5, an "unforeseeable emergency" is a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a)) of the Participant, 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. The circumstances that will constitute an unforeseeable emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any case, payment may not be made to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved:

(a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

(b) by liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or

Only one hardship distribution shall be permitted during a Plan Year. A Participant's request for a hardship distribution must be accompanied or supplemented by such evidence that the hardship is necessary as the Committee or its designee may reasonably require. Withdrawals of amounts because of an unforeseeable emergency shall be permitted only to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency need.

Any Participant who receives a hardship distribution shall cease Deferral Contributions for a period of one year following the date of such hardship distribution. Reentry into the Plan will be according to the Deferral Agreement procedures described in Section 2.3.

6.7. Tax-Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (i) the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prevails in its claim that all or a portion of the amounts contributed to the Plan, and/or earnings thereon, constitute taxable income to a Participant or beneficiary for any taxable year that is prior to the taxable year in which such contributions and/or earnings are actually distributed to such Participant or beneficiary, (ii) the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) prevails in its claim that the Trust prevents the Plan from meeting the "unfunded" criterion of the exceptions to various requirements of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) for plans that are unfunded and maintained

-15-

primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, or (iii) legal counsel selected by the Committee advises the Committee that the IRS or DOL would likely prevail in such claim, the applicable Account balance shall be immediately distributed to the Participant or beneficiary. For purposes of this Section, the IRS or DOL shall be deemed to have prevailed in a claim if such claim is upheld by a court of final jurisdiction, or if the Committee, based upon the advice of legal counsel selected by the Committee, fails to appeal a decision of the IRS or DOL, or a court of applicable jurisdiction, with respect to such claim, to an appropriate IRS or DOL appeals authority or to a court of higher jurisdiction within the appropriate time period.

6.8. Purchase of Life Insurance. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may enter into a written agreement with a Participant (the "Exchange Agreement") pursuant to which the Participant agrees to forego all or a portion of the annual or current year Company contributions to his or her Supplemental Matching Contributions, Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions, and Supplemental Pension Contributions Accounts in exchange for the Company's payment of an equivalent amount in premium for a life insurance policy on the Participant's behalf, under the following conditions:

(a) only a Participant who is fully vested in his or her Supplemental Matching Contributions, Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions, and Supplemental Pension Contributions Accounts may enter into an Exchange Agreement with the Committee;

(b) the Exchange Agreement may provide for payments only from the Company's general assets;

(c) the Company will make any payments directly to the insurance company providing the life insurance policy on behalf of the Participant, or directly to the irrevocable life insurance trust ("ILIT") established by the Participant to hold such policy;

(d) the Exchange Agreement may provide that if the Participant's employment is terminated before all premium payments have been made on the life insurance policy, the Participant agrees to forfeit all or a portion of his or her Supplemental Matching Contributions, Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions, and Supplemental Pension Contributions Accounts equal to the present value amount necessary to make the remaining required contributions to such life insurance policy, and the Company may direct the Trustee to pay such present value amount from the Participant's Accounts, in one or more payments; to the insurance company or ILIT; and

(e) the Participant's and the Committee will attempt to structure the Exchange Agreement so as to avoid constructive or actual receipt of any income or funds by the Participant.

The life insurance policy on the Participant's behalf must be maintained pursuant to a split dollar arrangement between the Participant and the Company, which agreement must provide for the ultimate return to the Company of any premium amounts the Company paid on the Participant's behalf. To reflect the fact that the Company will ultimately receive back all premium amounts the Company paid on the Participant's behalf, the Committee shall determine,

-16-

in its sole discretion, or the Committee and the Participant shall agree, whether to: (i) reduce the amount of the annual or current year contributions the Company makes to the Participant's Supplemental Matching Contributions, Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions, and/or Supplemental Pension Contributions Accounts on less than a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount that the Participant agrees to forego in exchange for the Company's life insurance policy premium payment, or (ii) increase the amount the Plan pays to the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary) following the Company's recovery of all premium amounts it paid on the Participant's behalf.

ARTICLE VII

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

7.1. Administration by the Committee. The Committee shall be responsible for the general operation and administration of the Plan and for carrying out the provisions thereof.

7.2. Power and Duties of Committee. The Committee shall administer the Plan in accordance with its terms and shall have all powers necessary to carry out the provisions of the Plan. The Committee shall interpret the Plan and shall determine all questions arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan, including but not limited to, questions of eligibility and the status and rights of employees, Participants and other persons. Any such determination by the Committee shall presumptively be conclusive and binding on all persons. The regularly kept records of the Company shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons with respect to a Participant's date and length of service, amount of Compensation and the manner of payment thereof, type and length of any absence from work and all other matters contained therein relating to Participants. All rules and determinations of the Committee shall be uniformly and consistently applied to all persons in similar circumstances. To the extent not inconsistent with this Plan, all provisions set forth in the Qualified Plans with respect to the administrative powers and duties of the Committee, expenses of administration, and procedures for filing claims, also shall be applicable with respect to this Plan.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

8.1. Amendment or Termination. The Company intends the Plan to be permanent but reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Any such amendment or termination shall be made pursuant to a resolution of the Board and shall be effective as of the date of such resolution.

8.2. Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment or termination of the Plan shall directly or indirectly reduce the balance of any Account held hereunder as of the effective date of such amendment or termination. Upon termination of the Plan, distribution of amounts in a Participant's Account shall be made to the Participant or his or her beneficiary in the manner and at the time described in Article VI of the Plan. No additional contributions shall be made to the Account of a Participant after termination of the Plan, but the Company shall continue to

-17-

credit gains and losses to Participants' Accounts pursuant to Article V, until the balance of such Accounts have been fully distributed to each Participant or beneficiary, as applicable.

ARTICLE IX

GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1. Participant's Rights Unsecured. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 9.2, the Plan at all times shall be entirely unfunded and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating any assets of the Company or its Affiliates for payment of any distributions hereunder. The right of a Participant or beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company or its Affiliates, and neither the Participant nor any beneficiary shall have any rights in or against any specific assets of the Company or its Affiliates. All amounts credited to the Participants' Accounts shall constitute general assets of the Employer for whose participants the amounts were contributed, and may be disposed of by the Company or the Employer at such time and for such purposes as it may deem appropriate.

9.2. Trust Agreement. All rights under this Plan shall at all times be entirely unfunded, and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating any assets of the Company or any Employer for payment of any amounts due hereunder. No Participant or beneficiary under the Plan shall have any interest in or rights against any specific assets of the Company or any Employer, and all Participants and beneficiaries shall have only the rights of general unsecured creditors of the Company and the applicable Employer. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, the Company, in its discretion shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to cause amounts payable to any Participant or beneficiary hereunder to be paid to the trustee of a Trust established by the Company for the benefit of Participants or their beneficiaries. Such Trust shall contain terms and conditions to ensure that the Trust assets and earnings will be subject to creditors of the Employer for whose Participants the assets were contributed, but will otherwise be available only to pay benefits to Participants and beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and will contain such other provisions as are necessary to assure that transfers to the Trust, and earnings on Trust assets, will not constitute taxable income to any Participant or beneficiary pursuant to applicable provisions of the Code.

9.3. General Conditions. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Qualified Plans applicable to a Qualified Plan Compensation Deferral, Qualified Plan Matching, Qualified Plan Pension, or Qualified Plan Profit Sharing Contribution will also be applicable to an Eligible Employee's Deferral, Supplemental Matching, Supplemental Pension, or a Supplemental Profit Sharing Contribution, to be made hereunder. Any Qualified Plan Compensation Deferral, Qualified Plan Matching, Qualified Plan Pension, or Qualified Plan Profit Sharing Contribution, or any other contributions to be made under the Qualified Plans, shall be made solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Qualified Plans, and nothing in the Plan shall operate or be construed in any way to modify, amend or affect the terms and provisions of the Qualified Plans.

-18-

9.4. No Guaranty of Benefits. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by the Company or any Affiliate or any other person or entity that the assets of the Company or any Affiliate will be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder.

9.5. No Enlargement of Employee Rights. No Participant shall have any right to receive a distribution of contributions made under the Plan except in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Establishment of the Plan shall not be construed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any Affiliated Company.

9.6. Spendthrift Provision. No interest of any person or entity in, or right to receive a distribution under, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind; nor may such interest or right to receive a distribution be taken, either voluntarily or involuntarily for the satisfaction of the debts of, or other obligations or claims against, such person or entity, including claims for alimony, support, separate maintenance and claims in bankruptcy proceedings.

9.7. Applicable Law. To the extent the laws of the United States do not apply, the Plan shall be construed and administered under the laws of the State of Ohio, other than its laws respecting choice of law.

9.8. Incapacity of Recipient. If any person entitled to a distribution under the Plan is deemed by the Company or its designee to be incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for such payment, then, unless and until claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of such person, the Company or its designee may provide for such payment or any part thereof to be made to any other person or institution then contributing toward or providing for the care and maintenance of such person. Any such payment shall be a payment for the account of such person and a complete discharge of any liability of the Company, its designee and the Plan therefor.

9.9. Corporate Successors. The Plan shall not be automatically terminated by a transfer or sale of assets of the Company, or by the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other corporation or other entity, but the Plan shall be continued after such sale, merger or consolidation only if and to the extent that the transferee, purchaser or successor entity agrees to continue the Plan. If the Plan is not continued by the transferee, purchaser or successor entity, then the Plan shall terminate subject to the provisions of Section 8.2.

9.10. Unclaimed Benefit. In the event that all, or any portion, of the distribution payable to a Participant or beneficiary hereunder shall, at the expiration of five years after it shall become payable, remain unpaid solely by reason of the inability of the Company or its designee, after sending a registered letter, return receipt requested, to the last known address, and after further diligent effort, to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or beneficiary, the amount so distributable shall be treated as a forfeiture and shall be retained by the Company as part of its general assets.

9.11. Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, neither the Company nor any individual acting as employee or agent of the Company shall

-19-

be liable to any Participant, former Participant, beneficiary or other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan.

9.12. Claims Procedure. A claim for a Plan benefit shall be deemed filed when a written communication is made by a Participant or Beneficiary, or the authorized representative of either, which is reasonably calculated to bring the claim to the attention of the Committee. If a claim is wholly or partially denied, notice of such decision shall be furnished to the claimant in writing within 90 days after receipt of the claim by the Committee. Such notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the Plan's claims review procedure. If no such notice is furnished to the claimant within 90 days after receipt of a claim by the Committee, such claim shall be deemed wholly denied.

Within 90 days from the receipt of the note of denial, a claimant may appeal such denial to the Committee for a full and fair review. The review shall be instituted by the filing of a written request for review by the claimant or his or her authorized representative within the 90-day period stated above. A request for review shall be deemed filed as of the date of receipt of such written request by the Committee. The claimant or his or her authorized representative shall have the right to review all pertinent documents, may submit issues and comments in writing and may do such other appropriate things as the Committee may allow. The decision of the Committee shall be made not later than 60 days after the receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require an extension of time, in which case, a decision shall be rendered not later than 120 days after the receipt of a request for review. Such decision shall be final and binding on the claimant.

9.13. Gender and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, unless qualified by the context. Any headings used herein are included for reference only, and are not to be construed so as to alter the terms hereof.

9.14. Indemnification. The Company and each Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee, or any employee of the Company or an Employer, or any individual acting as an employee or agent of either of them (to the extent not indemnified or saved harmless under any liability insurance or any other indemnification arrangement) from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of any actual or alleged act or failure to act made in good faith pursuant to the provisions of the Plan or the Trust, including expenses reasonably incurred in the defense of any claim relating thereto with respect to the administration of the Plan or the Trust, except that no indemnification or defense shall be provided to any person with respect to any conduct that has been judicially determined, or agreed by the parties, to have constituted willful misconduct on the part of such person, or to have resulted in his or her receipt of personal profit or advantage to which he or she is not entitled.

SEVENTH AMENDMENT

OFTHE

SKY FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NON-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN

(As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 1999)

WHEREAS, Sky Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Non-Qualified Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) for a select group of its management and highly compensated employees;

WHEREAS, the Company has delegated authority to amend the Plan to the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Benefit Plans Committee (the “Committee”);

WHEREAS, Section 409A was recently added to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and that section will apply, in general, to amounts deferred under nonqualified deferred compensation plans such as the Plan after December 31, 2004; and

WHEREAS, the Plan has been amended from time to time and the Committee now considers it desirable to further amend the Plan to prevent any amounts from being deferred under the Plan after December 31, 2004, and to preserve the grandfathered status of the amounts deferred and vested under the Plan on or before December 31, 2004, for purposes of Code Section 409A.

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the power reserved to the Committee by Section 8.1 of the Plan, and by virtue of the authority delegated to the undersigned by resolution of the Committee, the Plan, as previously amended, be and is hereby amended further, in the following particulars, effective as of December 31, 2004:

1. By adding the following sentence to end of the second introductory paragraph of the Plan:

“Effective December 31, 2004, the Plan is frozen.”

2. By adding the following new Article X to appear immediately after Article IX of the Plan:

“ARTICLE X

PLAN FROZEN

The Company has frozen the Plan effective December 31, 2004. For Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2005, the Plan will operate on a frozen basis. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) No employees of the Company who were not Participants in the Plan prior to January 1, 2005, will be eligible to become Participants after that date.

(b) Effective on and after January 1, 2005, no further deferral or supplemental contributions will be credited to Participants’ Accounts.

(c) Code Section 409A Grandfathered Status. Compensation deferred and vested (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) on or before December 31, 2004, is eligible for exemption from Code Section 409A by reason of the statutory grandfather clause set forth in section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Pub. L. No. 108-357, 118 Stat. 1418 (2004). The Company intends to preserve the grandfathered status of such amounts, including earnings thereon, under the Plan. No ‘material modifications,’ as that term is used for purposes of the Code Section 409A grandfather clause, shall be made to the Plan after October 3, 2004, unless permitted by Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1 or subsequent guidance.

(d) Transferred Amounts. Any amount credited to a Participant’s Account that was not vested as of December 31, 2004 (‘Non-Vested Contributions’) shall be transferred to the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Non-Qualified Retirement Plan II (the ‘NQRP II’), effective January 1, 2005. Such transferred Non-Vested Contributions shall be considered a contribution to, and shall be payable under the terms of, the NQRP II.

(e) The Plan shall continue in effect on and after December 31, 2004, subject to the Company’s right to amend or terminate the Plan under Article VIII. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article X, all provisions of the Plan shall continue to apply.”
