                                     GENERAL
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     This Proxy  Statement is furnished in connection  with the  solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of PVF Capital  Corp.  (the  "Company")  to be
used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the "Meeting")  which
will be held at the Company's  Corporate Center,  30000 Aurora Road, Solon, Ohio
on Monday,  October 20, 2003 at 10:00 a.m., local time. The accompanying  notice
of meeting and this Proxy Statement are being first mailed to stockholders on or
about September 19, 2003.


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Proxies solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company will be voted in
accordance with the directions  given therein.  Where no instructions are given,
properly  executed  proxies  which have not been revoked will be voted "FOR" the
nominees  for  director  set forth below and in favor of the other  proposal set
forth in this  Proxy  Statement  for  consideration  at the  Meeting.  The proxy
confers  discretionary  authority  on the  persons  named  therein  to vote with
respect to the election of any person as a director  where the nominee is unable
to serve or for good cause will not serve,  and with respect to matters incident
to the  conduct  of the  Meeting.  If any other  business  is  presented  at the
Meeting,  proxies will be voted by those named  therein in  accordance  with the
determination  of a  majority  of the  Board of  Directors.  Proxies  marked  as
abstentions  will not be counted as votes  cast.  In  addition,  shares  held in
street  name which have been  designated  by brokers on proxy cards as not voted
("broker  no  votes")  will not be  counted  as votes  cast.  Proxies  marked as
abstentions  or as broker no votes,  however,  will be treated as shares present
for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

     Stockholders  who execute the form of proxy  enclosed  herewith  retain the
right to revoke such proxies at any time prior to  exercise.  Unless so revoked,
the shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted at the Meeting
and all  adjournments  thereof.  Proxies  may be  revoked  at any time  prior to
exercise by written  notice to the Secretary of the Company at the address above
or by filing of a properly  executed,  later  dated  proxy.  A proxy will not be
voted if a stockholder  attends the Meeting and votes in person. The presence of
a stockholder at the Meeting in itself will not revoke such stockholder's proxy.


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The securities  which can be voted at the Meeting  consist of shares of the
Company's  common  stock,  $.01  par  value  per  share  (the  "Common  Stock").

"Record Date") are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock then held

issued  and  outstanding.  The  presence,  in person or by proxy,  of at least a

to vote will be necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting.

     Persons and groups  beneficially owning in excess of 5% of the Common Stock
are required to file certain reports with respect to such ownership  pursuant to
the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended  (the  "Exchange  Act").  The

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       PROPOSAL I -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The  Company's  Board  of  Directors  is  composed  of eight  members.  The
Company's  Articles of  Incorporation  require  that,  if the Board of Directors
consists of seven or eight  members,  directors be divided into two classes,  as
nearly  equal in number as possible,  each class to serve for a two-year  period
and until  their  successors  are  elected  and  qualified,  with  approximately
one-half  of the  directors  elected  each  year.  The  Board of  Directors  has
nominated  John R. Male,  Stanley T. Jaros,  Raymond J.  Negrelli  and Ronald D.
Holman,  II,  all of whom  are  currently  members  of the  Board,  to  serve as
directors  for a two-year  period and until  their  successors  are  elected and
qualified.  Under Ohio law,  directors  are elected by a plurality  of the votes
cast at the Meeting,  i.e.,  the nominees  receiving the highest number of votes
will be elected  regardless  of whether such votes  constitute a majority of the
shares represented at the Meeting.

     It is intended that the persons named in the proxies solicited by the Board
of Directors will vote for the election of the named nominees. If any nominee is
unable to serve, the shares represented by all valid proxies which have not been
revoked  will be voted  for the  election  of such  substitute  as the  Board of
Directors may recommend or the size of the Board may be reduced to eliminate the
vacancy.  At this time,  the Board knows of no reason why any  nominee  might be
unavailable to serve.

     The  following  table  sets  forth the names of the  Board's  nominees  for
election as directors of the Company and of those directors who will continue to
serve as such after the  Meeting.  Also set forth is certain  other  information
with  respect to each  person's  age, the year he first became a director of the
Company  or the Bank,  and the  expiration  of his term as a  director.  Messrs.
Robert K. Healey and John R. Male were  initially  appointed as directors of the
Company  in 1994 in  connection  with the  Company's  incorporation.  All  other
directors  were  appointed  directors  of the  Company and the Bank in the years
indicated on the following  table.  There are no arrangements or  understandings
between  the  Company  and any  director  pursuant to which such person has been

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

     The Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank conduct their  business
through meetings of the respective Boards and their committees.  During the year
ended June 30, 2003,  the Company's  Board of Directors held 11 meetings and the
Bank's Board of Directors held 14 meetings.  No current director  attended fewer
than  75% of  the  total  aggregate  meetings  of the  Board  of  Directors  and
committees  on which such  Board  member  served  during the year ended June 30,
2003.

     The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee  comprising  directors Stuart
D.  Neidus,  Robert K.  Healey and Gerald A.  Fallon.  All  members of the Audit
Committee are deemed to be independent within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of
the National Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards. The committee
met  periodically  to examine  and  approve  the audit  report  prepared  by the
independent  auditors  of the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries,  to  review  and
recommend the independent  auditors to be engaged by the Company,  to review the
internal  audit  function  and  internal  accounting  controls and to review and
approve the  conflict  of interest  policy.  The Audit  Committee  has adopted a
written charter.  A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached as Exhibit A
to this  Proxy  Statement.  During  the year  ended  June 30,  2003,  the  Audit
Committee met six times.

     In accordance with the Company's Bylaws, the entire Board of Directors acts
as the  Company's  Nominating  Committee.  The  Nominating  Committee  meets  to
consider  potential  nominees.  In its deliberations,  the Nominating  Committee
considers the candidate's  knowledge of the banking  business and involvement in


                                       5


community,  business and civic affairs, and also considers whether the candidate
would allow the Board to continue its  geographic  diversity  that  provides for
adequate  representation  of its  market  area.  The Board of  Directors  of the
Company  met once as the  Nominating  Committee  during  the year ended June 30,
2003. The Company's  Articles of Incorporation set forth procedures that must be
followed by stockholders seeking to make nominations for directors. In order for
a  stockholder  of the  Company  to make any  nominations,  he or she must  give
written notice thereof to the Secretary of the Company not less than thirty days
nor more  than  sixty  days  prior to the  date of any such  meeting;  provided,
however,  that if less  than  forty  days'  notice  of the  meeting  is given to
stockholders,  such written notice shall be delivered or mailed,  as prescribed,
to the  Secretary  of the  Company  not later than the close of  business on the
tenth  day  following  the day on which  notice  of the  meeting  was  mailed to
stockholders.   Each  such  notice  given  by  a  stockholder  with  respect  to
nominations  for the  election of  directors  must set forth (i) the name,  age,
business  address and, if known,  residence  address of each nominee proposed in
such notice;  (ii) the principal  occupation or employment of each such nominee;
and (iii) the number of shares of stock of the  Company  which are  beneficially
owned by each such nominee. In addition,  the stockholder making such nomination
must promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Company.

     The Compensation  Committee consists of directors Stanley T. Jaros,  Stuart
D. Neidus and Robert K. Healey.  The Committee  evaluates the  compensation  and
fringe benefits of the directors, officers and employees, recommends changes and
monitors and evaluates  employee  morale.  The  Compensation  Committee met four
times during the year ended June 30, 2003.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

     Overview and Philosophy.  The Company's executive compensation policies are
established  by the  Compensation  Committee  of the  Board  of  Directors  (the
"Committee")  composed of three outside directors.  The Committee is responsible
for  developing the Company's  executive  compensation  policies.  The Company's
President,  under the  direction  of the  Committee,  implements  the  Company's
executive  compensation  policies.  The Committee's  objectives in designing and
administering  the specific  elements of the  Company's  executive  compensation
program are as follows:

     o    To link  executive  compensation  rewards to increases in  shareholder
          value,  as  measured  by  favorable  long-term  operating  results and
          continued strengthening of the Company's financial condition.

     o    To provide incentives for executive officers to work towards achieving
          successful  annual  results  as a  step  in  achieving  the  Company's
          long-term operating results and strategic objectives.

     o    To correlate,  as closely as possible,  executive officers' receipt of
          compensation with the attainment of specified performance objectives.

     o    To maintain a competitive  mix of total executive  compensation,  with
          particular  emphasis  on awards  related  to  increases  in  long-term
          shareholder value.

     o    To attract  and  retain  top  performing  executive  officers  for the
          long-term success of the Company.

     o    To facilitate stock ownership through the granting of stock options.

     In furtherance of these objectives, the Committee has determined that there
should be three specific  components of executive  compensation:  base salary, a
cash bonus plan and a stock option plan designed to provide long-term incentives
through the facilitation of stock ownership in the Company.

     Base Salary.  The Committee makes  recommendations  to the Board concerning
executive  compensation  on the basis of surveys of salaries  paid to  executive
officers of other savings bank holding companies, non-diversified


                                       6


banks and other financial  institutions  similar in size, market  capitalization
and other  characteristics.  The  Committee's  objective  is to provide for base
salaries that are competitive with those paid by the Company's peers.

     Management   Incentive   Compensation   Plan.   The  Company   maintains  a
formula-based bonus plan (the "Management  Incentive  Compensation Plan"), which
provides  for annual  cash  incentive  compensation  based on  achievement  of a
combination of individual and Company and Bank performance objectives. Under the
Management Incentive Compensation Plan, at the beginning of the fiscal year, the
Committee  establishes target performance measures for the Company and the Bank.
The relevant  performance measures for the Company are return on equity ("ROE"),
earnings per share and  appreciation  in the market price for the Common  Stock.
The  relevant  performance  measures  for the Bank are ROE and  return on assets
("ROA") for the Bank and  appreciation in the market price for the Common Stock.
In addition,  the Committee  establishes  individual  performance goals for each
employee.  Bonuses are  determined at the end of the fiscal year based on actual
Company or Bank performance relative to previously established performance goals
and a  rating  given to each  employee  reflecting  the  employee's  success  in
achieving his or her specific  individual  performance  goals established at the
beginning  of the  year.  The  bonuses  that  would be paid to each of the three
highest  ranking  executive  officers are based on actual  Company  performance,
while the bonuses paid to other  officers are based on actual Bank  performance.
The Company's three most senior  executive  officers can receive a maximum bonus
equal to 150% of base salary. The Company's other officers can receive a maximum
bonus equal to 40% of base salary.

     Stock Options.  The Committee  believes that stock options are an important
element of compensation  because they provide  executives with incentives linked
to the  performance  of the Common Stock.  The Company awards stock options as a
means of providing  employees the opportunity to acquire a proprietary  interest
in the  Company  and  to  link  their  interests  with  those  of the  Company's
stockholders.  Options  are granted  with an exercise  price equal to the market
value of the Common Stock on the date of grant,  and thus acquire  value only if
the Company's stock price increases.  Although there is no specific formula,  in
determining the level of option awards,  the Committee takes into  consideration
the same Company, Bank and stock price performance criteria considered under the
Management Incentive Compensation Plan, as well as individual performance.

     In addition  to the three  primary  components  of  executive  compensation
described above, the Committee believed it fair and appropriate to provide for a
reasonable level of financial  security for its  long-standing  senior executive
officer  team  consisting  of John R.  Male,  Chairman  of the  Board  and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, C. Keith Swaney, President, Chief
Operating  Officer and Treasurer of the Company and President,  Chief  Operating
Officer and Chief  Financial  Officer of the Bank, and Jeffrey N. Male, the Vice
President and Secretary of the Company and the Executive  Vice  President of the
Bank. In consultation  with an outside  consultant,  the Compensation  Committee
determined  to implement a  supplemental  executive  retirement  plan,  the only
current  participants  in which are John R. Male, C. Keith Swaney and Jeffrey N.
Male, and to enter into severance  agreements with each of those three executive
officers.  A description of the supplemental  executive  retirement plan and the
severance  agreements  is set forth below under "--  Executive  Compensation  --
Severance  Agreements"  and "--  Supplemental  Executive  Retirement  Plan." The
severance agreements are intended to provide the three executive officers with a
reasonable  level of  financial  security in the event of a change in control of
the  Company or the Bank,  and the  supplemental  executive  retirement  plan is
intended to provide the three  executive  officers with  retirement  income that
increases with each year of service to the Bank with full vesting occurring upon
the attainment of age 65.

     Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer.  The Committee  determines the
Chief  Executive  Officer's  compensation  on the basis of several  factors.  In
determining Mr. John R. Male's base salary,  the Committee  conducted surveys of
compensation  paid to chief  executive  officers of similarly  situated  savings
banks and  non-diversified  banks and other  financial  institutions  of similar
size.  The  Committee   believes  that  Mr.  Male's  base  salary  is  generally
competitive  with or below the average salary paid to executives of similar rank
and  expertise at banking  institutions  which the  Committee  considered  to be
comparable.

     Mr.  Male  received  bonus  compensation  under  the  Management  Incentive
Compensation  Plan in fiscal year 2003 based on the  Company's  ROE and earnings
per share and  increases in the market price of the Common Stock and Mr.  Male's
achievement  of  individual  performance  goals  based on the  formula set forth
above.


                                       7


     The Committee believes that the Company's  executive  compensation  program
serves the Company and its  shareholders  by providing a direct link between the
interests  of  executive  officers and those of  shareholders  generally  and by
helping to attract and retain qualified  executive officers who are dedicated to
the long-term success of the Company.

(1)  Amounts are adjusted to reflect the 10% stock  dividend  paid on the Common
     Stock on August 29, 2003. All options become exercisable at the rate of 20%
     per year, with the first 20% having become exercisable on November 1, 2002,
     the date of grant,  and an  additional  20%  becoming  exercisable  on each
     anniversary thereafter.

     appreciation  in the  value of the  Common  Stock as of the date of  grant,
     November 1, 2000,  based on the closing  sale price of the Common  Stock as
     quoted on the Nasdaq  SmallCap Market adjusted for the 10% dividend paid on
     the Common Stock on August 29, 2003.

     During the past ten full fiscal  years,  the  Company  has not  adjusted or
amended  the  exercise  price of stock  options  previously  awarded  to a named
executive  officer,  whether  through  amendment,  cancellation  or  replacement
grants,  except as  necessary to adjust the  exercise  price upon the  Company's
payment  of  stock  dividends  so as not  to  change  the  economic  benefit  of
previously granted options.

following table sets forth information concerning option exercises during fiscal
year 2003 and the value of  options  held at the end of fiscal  year 2003 by the

(1)  Not adjusted for the subsequent 10% stock dividend paid on August 29, 2003.
(2)  Calculated  based on the product  of: (a) the number of shares  acquired on
     exercise,  and (b) the  difference  between  the fair  market  value of the
     underlying Common Stock on the exercise date,  determined based on the last
     closing bid price prior to the exercise date, and the exercise price of the
     options.

     Common Stock at June 30, 2003, determined based on $13.80, the last closing
     bid  price on June 30,  2003 of the  Common  Stock on the  Nasdaq  SmallCap
     Market,  adjusted to $12.54 to reflect the effect of the 10% stock dividend
     paid on the Common Stock on August 29, 2003,  and the exercise price of the
     options.

     Severance Agreements.  The Company and the Bank have entered into severance
agreements (the "Severance  Agreements")  with John R. Male, C. Keith Swaney and
Jeffrey N. Male (each of whom is referred to as


                                       10


an "Executive").  The Severance Agreements are for terms of three years. On each
anniversary date from the date of commencement of the Severance Agreements,  the
term of the Agreements will be extended for an additional one-year period beyond
the  then  effective  expiration  date  upon a  determination  by the  Board  of
Directors that the performance of each Employee has met the required performance
standards.

     The  Severance  Agreements  provide  that in the  event  of an  Executive's
involuntary  termination  of  employment,  or  voluntary  termination  for "good
reason,"  within one year  following  a "change in  control"  of the Bank or the
Company  other than for  "cause,"  the  Executive  will  receive  the  following
benefits:  (i) a payment equal to two times the Executive's annual  compensation
(base salary plus annual incentive compensation) for the year preceding the year
in which  termination  occurred,  payable in a lump sum within 30 days following
termination;  (ii) the Bank or the Company  shall cause the  Executive to become
fully  vested  in any  benefit  plans,  programs  or  arrangements  in which the
Executive  participated,  and the Bank will contribute to the Executive's 401(k)
plan account the Bank's  matching  and/or  profit  sharing which would have been
paid  had the  Executive  remained  in the  employ  of the Bank  throughout  the
remainder  of the  401(k)  plan  year;  and (iii)  the  Executive  will  receive
continued life, health and disability insurance coverage substantially identical
to the coverage maintained by the Bank or the Company for the Executive prior to
termination  until  the  earlier  of the  Executive's  employment  with  another
employer  or 12 months  following  termination.  "Change in  control" is defined
generally in the Severance Agreements as: (i) the acquisition,  by any person or
persons  acting in concert  of the power to vote more than 25% of the  Company's
voting  securities  or the  acquisition  by a person of the power to direct  the
Company's  management  or policies;  (ii) the merger of the Company with another
corporation  on a basis  whereby  less than 50% of the total voting power of the
surviving  corporation is represented by shares held by former  shareholders  of
the Company prior to the merger; or (iii) the sale by the Company of the Bank or
substantially all its assets to another person or entity. In addition,  a change
in control occurs when, during any consecutive two-year period, directors of the
Company  or the Bank at the  beginning  of such  period  cease to  constitute  a
majority  of the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  or the Bank,  unless  the
election of  replacement  directors  was  approved by a  two-thirds  vote of the
initial  directors  then in office.  "Good  reason" is defined in the  Severance
Agreements  as any of the  following  events:  (i) a change  in the  Executive's
status, title, position or responsibilities which, in the Executive's reasonable
judgment, does not represent a promotion, the assignment to the executive of any
duties or responsibilities  which, in the Executive's  reasonable judgment,  are
inconsistent  with his  status,  title,  position  or  responsibilities,  or the
removal  of the  Executive  from  or  failure  to  reappoint  him to any of such
positions other than for cause;  (ii) materially  reducing the Executive's  base
compensation  as  then  in  effect;  (iii)  the  relocation  of the  Executive's
principal  place of employment to a location that is more than 35 miles from the
location  where the Executive  previously  was  principally  employed;  (iv) the
failure to provide the Executive  with benefits  substantially  similar to those
provided to him under existing  employee  benefit plans, or materially  reducing
any benefits or depriving  the  Executive of any material  fringe  benefit;  (v)
death;  or (vi) disability  prior to retirement.  In the event that an Executive
prevails  over the  Company or the Bank in a legal  dispute as to the  Severance
Agreement, he will be reimbursed for his legal and other expenses.

     Supplemental  Executive  Retirement Plan.  Effective July 1, 1998, the Bank
adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP"), which is designed
to pay  retirement  benefits  from the  general  assets of the Bank to  eligible
employees  of the Bank.  Eligibility  to  participate  in the SERP is limited to
employees of the Bank who are  designated by the  Compensation  Committee of the
Bank's Board of Directors. Currently, the employees designated to participate in
the  SERP  are  John  R.  Male,  C.  Keith  Swaney  and  Jeffrey  N.  Male  (the
"Participants").

     Under the SERP,  commencing upon a Participant's  retirement after reaching
age 65, or earlier if approved by the Compensation  Committee, he will receive a
benefit  equal to 60% of "final pay" reduced by any benefits  payable  under the
Bank's qualified  retirement plans.  "Final pay" is defined as the Participant's
highest year's combined salary and target bonus (under the Management  Incentive
Compensation  Plan) during the Participant's  last five years of employment with
the Bank.  The  Participant  will vest in the SERP plan benefits each year, on a
pro rata basis,  beginning with the one year  anniversary  date of the effective
date  that the  Participant  becomes  eligible  to  participate  in the SERP and
continuing with each succeeding annual  anniversary date until attainment of age
65. Upon attainment of age 65 and provided that he has remained  continuously in
the employ of the Bank,  the  Participant  will be fully  vested.  A Participant
becomes  fully vested prior to age 65 upon death or disability or upon a "change
in control," as defined above under "-- Severance  Agreements."  Payments  under
the SERP continue for


                                       11


the lifetime of the  Participant or for the joint lives of the  Participant  and
his spouse if  actuarially  converted to the  "actuarial  equivalent"  joint and
survivor  annuity.  In addition,  benefits are paid in the form of a single life
annuity or, upon the request of the Participant and approval of the Compensation
Committee, converted to the "actuarial equivalent" single lump sum distribution.
"Actuarial  equivalent"  is  defined  as a  payment  or  payments  equal  in the
aggregate  to the  value  at the  applicable  date  of  the  benefit  determined
actuarially on the basis of the current  Pension Benefit  Guarantee  Corporation
("PBGC")  interest  rate and the  mortality  table then in use by the PBGC.  The
Participant  loses all benefits under the SERP in the event his employment  with
the Bank is terminated for cause.

Directors' Compensation

     The Bank pays each member of the Board of Directors  an annual  retainer of
$25,200.  In  addition,  directors  may  receive  a fee of  $2,500  per  day for
attendance  at  day-long  special  Board  events  such  as  Board  retreats.  No
additional  fees are paid by the Company for  attendance  at Board of  Directors
meetings.

     In addition,  nonemployee  directors are eligible to participate in the PVF
Capital Corp.  2000 Stock Option Plan,  and the Board of Directors has adopted a
schedule for option grants such that shortly  following  each annual  meeting of
stockholders, each nonemployee director who served as such at the closing of the
annual meeting will be granted  nonqualified  options to acquire 1,000 shares of
Common  Stock.  Pursuant to this  schedule,  options to acquire  1,100 shares of
Common Stock were granted on November 1, 2002 to  nonemployee  Directors  Jaros,
Neidus, Healey, Fallon and Negrelli. In addition, as new directors, nonemployees
Directors Fallon and Negrelli were granted  additional  options to acquire 5,500
shares of Common Stock on November 1, 2002.  The numbers of options  granted set
forth above are  adjusted for a 10% stock  dividend  paid on the Common Stock on
August 29,  2003.  All the options have a term of 10 years,  became  exercisable
immediately upon grant and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

Indebtedness of Management

     Under applicable law, the Bank's loans to directors and executive  officers
must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, as those
prevailing for comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons, and must not
involve  more than the normal risk of  repayment  or present  other  unfavorable
features.  Furthermore,  loans  above the greater of $25,000 or 5% of the Bank's
capital and surplus  (i.e,  up to $3.0 million at June 30, 2003) to such persons
must be approved in advance by a  disinterested  majority of the Bank's Board of
Directors.

     The Bank has a policy of  offering  loans to  officers  and  directors  and
employees in the ordinary course of business,  on substantially  the same terms,
including  interest rates and  collateral,  as those  prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with other persons. These loans do not involve more than
the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

reimbursements  to PVP.  For the fiscal year ending June 30,  2004,  the Company

         PROPOSAL II-- APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE
   PVF CAPITAL CORP. 2000 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN AS THE PVF CAPITAL CORP.
           2000 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction

     A proposal  to approve the  amendment  and  restatement  of the PVF Capital
Corp. 2000 Incentive  Option Plan (the  "Incentive  Plan") will be presented for
stockholder  approval at the Meeting.  If the amendment and  restatement  of the
Incentive  Plan is approved by  stockholders  at the Meeting,  such plan will be
amended and restated as the PVF Capital Corp.  2000  Incentive  Stock Option and
Deferred  Compensation  Plan  (the  "Amended  Incentive  Plan").  The  Board  of
Directors of the Company unanimously approved,  subject to stockholder approval,
the Amended Incentive Plan on September 1, 2003.

     In October,  2000, the  stockholders of the Company  approved the Incentive
Stock, which provided for the grant of stock options  ("Options") to purchase up
to 250,000 shares of Common Stock (302,500 shares after adjusting for subsequent
stock  dividends)  to certain  directors  and key officers and  employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries.  The Amended Incentive Plan provides for the grant
of Options and the grant of stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock
("Restricted Stock") and unrestricted stock ("Unrestricted Stock") up to a total
of 302,500 shares of Common Stock. This proposal does not increase the number of
shares of Common Stock  available  for issuance  under the  Incentive  Plan.  At
September 9, 2003,  the closing price of the  Company's  Common Stock was $14.99
per share.  Since the  Company's  directors  and named  executive  officers  are
eligible for awards under the Amended  Incentive  Plan, they have an interest in
this proposal.

     The Board of Directors believes that approval of the Amended Incentive Plan
is  necessary  to  continue  to advance  the  interests  of the  Company and its
stockholders  by  providing an incentive  to  directors  and key  employees  for
outstanding   performance  in  order  to  generate   superior   returns  to  the
stockholders,  and to attract,  motivate  and retain the  services of  qualified
directors and employees. The additional forms of award that may be granted under
the Amended Incentive Plan provide flexibility to implement various compensation
strategies as those strategies may change over time.

     No grant of SARs,  Restricted Stock or Unrestricted Stock under the Amended
Incentive Plan will occur until  stockholder  approval of the Amended  Incentive
Plan is obtained.  The terms of the Amended Incentive Plan are summarized below.
The  Amended  Incentive  Plan is  attached  hereto as  Exhibit  B and  should be
consulted for additional  information.  All statements made herein regarding the
Amended Incentive Plan are only intended to summarize the Amended Incentive Plan
and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amended Incentive Plan.

Purpose of the Amended Incentive Plan

     The  purpose of the  Amended  Incentive  Plan is to promote the success and
enhance  the value of the  Company  by linking  the  personal  interests  of the
members of the Board and the  Company's  employees,  officers and  executives to
those  of  Company  shareholders  and by  providing  such  individuals  with  an
incentive for outstanding  performance in order to generate  superior returns to
shareholders of the Company.  The Amended  Incentive Plan is further intended to
provide  flexibility  to the Company in its ability to  motivate,  attract,  and
retain the services of members of the Board, employees, officers, and executives
of the Company upon whose judgment,  interest, and special effort the successful
conduct of the Company's operation is largely dependent.

Description of the Amended Incentive Plan

     Administration.  The Amended  Incentive Plan is administered by a committee
(the "Committee"),  appointed by the Board of Directors,  consisting of at least
two directors of the Company who are "Non-employee Directors" within the meaning
of the federal  securities  laws.  To the extent  necessary or  desirable,  each
member of the Committee shall also qualify as an "outside  director"  within the
meaning of the federal tax laws and shall meet


                                       13


such  additional  criteria  as may be  necessary  or  desirable  to comply  with
regulatory or stock  exchange  rules or  exemptions.  At present,  the Committee
consists of Directors Neidus, Healey and Jaros.

     Subject to the terms of the Amended  Incentive Plan, the Committee has sole
discretionary  authority to select  participants and grant awards,  to determine
the type of awards  granted and the terms and  conditions of awards (which terms
and conditions need not be the same in each case), to impose restrictions on any
award and to determine the manner in which such restrictions may be removed,  to
interpret the Amended  Incentive  Plan and any award  thereunder,  to prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations  relating to the Amended  Incentive Plan
and  to  make  all  other  determinations   deemed  necessary  or  advisable  in
administering the Amended Incentive Plan.

     Eligible Persons. Under the Amended Incentive Plan, the Committee may grant
awards to directors of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (including members
of the Committee)  and to key executives  (which term is deemed to include among
others, the president,  any vice president,  the secretary, the treasurer or any
manager in charge of a principal  business  unit,  division or function (such as
sales,   administration   or  finance),   any  other   officer  who  performs  a
policy-making  function,  or any other person who performs similar policy-making
functions for the Company or any of its  subsidiaries) and who on the grant date
is in the employ of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (the "subsidiaries"),
as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code").  As of the
Record  Date,  the  Company and its  subsidiaries  had eight  directors  and ten
employees whom it considered to be key executives eligible to participate in the
Amended Incentive Plan. The Committee is not obligated to treat  participants in
the Amended Incentive Plan uniformly.

     Shares  Available for Grant.  The Amended  Incentive Plan reserves  302,500
shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Amended
Incentive  Plan.  Such shares may be (i)  authorized but unissued  shares,  (ii)
shares  held in treasury or (iii)  shares  purchased  by the Company in the open
market. Under the Amended Incentive Plan, the maximum number of shares for which
Options and SARs may be awarded to any one participant during any fiscal year is
25,000  shares.  The  aggregate  number of shares of Common Stock  available for
grant  under the  Amended  Incentive  Plan and the  maximum  number of shares of
Common  Stock with respect to Options and SARs that may be awarded in any fiscal
year will be  appropriately  adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number
of shares of Common  Stock of the  Company  resulting  from a stock  dividend or
split,  recapitalization,  merger,  consolidation,  combination  or  exchange of
shares  or  similar  corporate  change.  In the event  that any award  under the
Amended Incentive Plan is terminated, cancelled, expires, lapses or is forfeited
for any reason,  the shares subject to such award,  or the  unexercised  portion
thereof,  shall again  become  available  for grant under the Amended  Incentive
Plan.

     Types of Awards and General  Provisions.  Under the Amended Incentive Plan,
the Committee may grant "Awards" to eligible persons, including:

o        Incentive stock options ("ISOs") as defined in Section 422 of the Code;
o        Non-qualified stock options ("NSOs");
o        Stock appreciation rights ("SARs");
o        Restricted Stock; and
o        Unrestricted Stock.

     The  terms and  conditions  of each  Award  will be  reflected  in an award
agreement between the Company and the participant  ("Award  Agreement").  Awards
may be granted  either alone or in addition to or in tandem with another  Award.
The number of shares covered by each  outstanding  Award and (if applicable) the
exercise  price per share shall be  proportionally  adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from a
subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend or any
other increase or decrease in the number of shares outstanding  effected without
receipt or payment of consideration  by the Company.  The Committee may offer to
exchange  or buy out any Award  previously  granted to a  participant  for cash,
shares of Common Stock or another  Award,  on such terms and  conditions  as the
Committee shall determine.


                                       14


     Stockholder  Rights.  No Award shall give the participant any of the rights
of a  stockholder  of the  Company  unless and until the shares of Common  Stock
subject to the Award are, in fact, issued to such person in connection with such
Award.

     Options.  ISOs and NSOs together are called "Options." The maximum term for
an Option is 10 years from the date of grant, except that the maximum term of an
ISO may not exceed five years if the  optionee  owns more than 10% of the Common
Stock on the date of grant. Each Option granted shall become exercisable at such
time  and on  such  conditions  as  determined  by the  Committee  in the  Award
Agreement;  however,  no Option  granted to a participant  who is not a director
shall be  exercisable  before the optionee has  completed  one year of continued
employment or service with the Company or one of its subsidiaries.  The exercise
price as to any Option shall be the fair market value  (determined under Section
422 of  the  Code)  of the  shares  on the  date  of  grant.  In the  case  of a
participant  who owns more than 10% of the combined  voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company on the date of grant, such exercise price for an ISO may
not be less than 110% of fair market value of the shares. As required by federal
tax laws,  if the  aggregate  fair market  value  (determined  when an Option is
granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are first exercisable by
an  optionee  in any  calendar  year  (under all plans of the Company and of any
subsidiary) exceeds $100,000,  the Options granted in excess of $100,000 will be
treated as NSOs.

     Exercise of Options.  The exercise of Options will be subject to such terms
and conditions as are  established by the Committee in the Award  Agreement.  In
the absence of Committee action to the contrary,  an otherwise unexpired Option,
except for NSOs granted to directors,  shall cease to be exercisable upon (i) an
optionee's  termination  of  employment  for  "cause" (as defined in the Amended
Incentive  Plan),  (ii) for ISOs,  the  termination of employment for any reason
other than death or  "disability"  (as defined in the Amended  Incentive  Plan),
(iii) for  NSOs,  the date  three  months  after an  optionee's  termination  of
employment for a reason other than cause,  death,  or disability,  or earlier if
the Option expires in accordance with its terms, (iv) in the case of an optionee
who becomes  disabled,  the earlier of the date the Option expires in accordance
with its terms or the date one year after the optionee terminates service due to
disability,  or (v) in the case of a deceased optionee,  the earlier of the date
the Option  expires in accordance  with its terms or the date one year after the
optionee's death in the event of death of the optionee during employment.

     An optionee may exercise Options,  subject to provisions  relative to their
termination and limitations on their exercise, only by (i) written notice to the
President  of the  Company of intent to exercise  the Option  with  respect to a
specified  number of shares of Common  Stock,  and (ii)  payment to the  Company
(contemporaneously  with  delivery  of  such  notice)  with a  cashier's  check,
certified  check or  existing  holdings  of Common  Stock held for more than six
months of the amount of the exercise price for the number of shares with respect
to which the Option is then being  exercised.  Common Stock  utilized in full or
partial  payment of the exercise price for Options shall be valued at its market
value at the date of exercise.

     Transferability of Options. Each Option granted under the Amended Incentive
Plan shall, by its terms, not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  a participant who
holds  Options may  transfer  such  Options (but not ISOs) 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.

     Stock Appreciation  Rights. The Amended Incentive Plan permits the granting
of SARs  by the  Committee.  Each  SAR  shall  be  subject  to  such  terms  and
conditions,  including grant price, method of exercise, method of settlement and
form of consideration  payable in settlement,  as determined by the Committee in
the Award Agreement at the time of the grant.  The Committee shall determine the
term of each SAR; however, the term of any SAR granted in tandem with an ISO may
not exceed ten (10) years.  If the SAR is granted in connection with an ISO, the
grant price of the SAR shall not be less than the fair  market  value of a share
of Common Stock on the date of grant.  Upon  exercise of a SAR, the  participant
has the right to receive  the excess,  if any,  of the fair market  value on the
date of  exercise  of the  number of shares  of Common  Stock to which  such SAR
relates, over the grant price of


                                       15


such SAR for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such SAR relates. The
grant  price of an SAR  related  to an ISO  cannot be less than the fair  market
value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

     Stock Awards.  Restricted Stock and Unrestricted  Stock are together called
"Stock  Awards." Each Stock Award shall be subject to such terms and  conditions
as determined by the Committee in the Award  Agreement at the time of the grant.
Unrestricted  Stock  awards  may be  granted  by the  Committee  with or without
conditions  and may provide for an immediate  or deferred  transfer of shares to
the participant.  Restricted Stock awards shall be subject to such  restrictions
on  transferability  and risks of forfeiture as the Committee may determine.  If
the  participant  terminates  employment with the Company during the restriction
period related to any Restricted Stock award, the shares of Common Stock subject
to the  restriction  shall be  forfeited;  however,  the Committee may waive any
restriction or forfeiture condition related to such shares of Common Stock.

     Performance-Based  Awards. The Amended Incentive Plan permits the Committee
to grant Stock Awards  intended to qualify as  "performance-based  compensation"
under  Section  162(m)  of the Code to  certain  participants  that  qualify  as
"covered  employees"  under Section 162(m) of the Code. The terms and conditions
of each Performance-Based  Award, including the type of Performance-Based Award,
the performance goals to be achieved,  and the performance period (as defined in
the  Amended  Incentive  Plan)  during  which  the  performance  goals are to be
achieved,  shall be determined  by the  Committee in the Award  Agreement at the
time of grant.  The  participant  must be  employed by the Company or one of its
subsidiaries on the last day of the performance period to be eligible to receive
the Performance-Based  Award. Each Performance-Based  Award must be disclosed to
and  approved by the  stockholders  of the  Company  before any shares of Common
Stock subject to the Performance-Based Award are transferred to a participant or
any restrictions on such shares lapse.

     Conditions on Issuance of Shares.  The  Committee  shall not be required to
issue shares of Common Stock under an Award  unless the issuance  complies  with
applicable  laws,  regulation of government  authorities and the requirements of
any  exchange on which  shares of Common  Stock are  traded.  In  addition,  the
Committee will have the  discretionary  authority to impose such restrictions on
shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Award as it may deem appropriate or
desirable,  and to  that  end  may  require  that  a  participant  make  certain
representations or warranties.

     Limits on Transfers of Awards. 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 the 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 ISO to his or her spouse,  lineal descendants,  lineal ascendants,  or a duly
established trust for the benefit of one or more of these individuals.

     Elections  to  Defer  Compensation.  The  Amended  Incentive  Plan  permits
participants to elect to defer receipt of all or any part of the following forms
of compensation:

o        Annual salary;
o        Fiscal year bonus;
o        Director's fees (if the participant is a Director of the Company); or
o        Common Stock or cash deliverable pursuant to an Award (if permitted by
         the Committee in its discretion).

     All  elections by a  participant  shall remain in full force for all future
years until  modified or  revoked.  Upon  becoming  eligible to  participate,  a
participant  has thirty  (30) days to make an election  to defer  salary  earned
after such  election.  Any increase or decrease in such deferral  amount must be
made by December  1st of the  preceding  calendar  year.  An election to defer a
fiscal year bonus (or increase or decrease  the amount to be  deferred)  must be
made by June 1st of the preceding fiscal year;  however,  a participant may make
an  election to defer up to fifty  percent  (50%) of a fiscal year bonus for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, if such election is made by December 1, 2003.


                                       16


     Deferred Compensation Account. The Company shall establish a special ledger
account ("Deferred  Compensation  Account") on the books of the Company for each
participant who elects to defer compensation.  Deferred salary shall be credited
to the  participant's  Deferred  Compensation  Account  on the  last day of each
calendar month. The amount of any deferred salary,  director's fees, fiscal year
bonus or Award  will be  credited  to the  participant's  Deferred  Compensation
Account  on the last day of the month in which  such  salary,  director's  fees,
fiscal  year bonus or Award  would have become  payable or  transferable  to the
participant.

     Investment   Election.   Each  participant  may  elect  that  the  deferred
compensation be credited to his or her Deferred Compensation Account in the form
of cash, shares of the Company's Common Stock or such deemed investment  options
as are offered by the Board of Directors or the  Committee.  In the absence of a
participant  election,  the amount credited to the Deferred Compensation Account
shall be credited as cash. Any deferred compensation credited to a participant's
Deferred Compensation Account as cash shall accrue interest at a rate that is no
less than the prime rate charged to the Company by its principal bank, but shall
not exceed the highest rate paid on Individual  Retirement  Accounts  ("IRA") by
the Company  plus two percent (2%) (based on the  weighted  average  daily prime
rate or IRA  rate  for the  three  month  period  ending  on the last day of the
quarter).

     If a participant  elects for a deferred  amount to be credited as shares of
the Company's  Common Stock, his or her Deferred  Compensation  Account shall be
credited  with the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  equal in value to the
deferred  amount,  with the value of such Common Stock  determined in accordance
with  a  valuation  methodology  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  or the
Committee.  The Common Stock credited to the Deferred Compensation Account shall
merely  constitute a bookkeeping  entry of the Company and the participant shall
have no voting,  dividend or other legal or economic rights with respect to such
Common  Stock.  No  actual  shares  of Common  Stock  will be  issued  until the
participant receives a distribution from the Deferred  Compensation Plan. At the
end of each fiscal quarter,  dividends that would have been payable with respect
to such Common Stock shall be credited to the Deferred  Compensation  Account as
additional  shares of Common Stock. No participant  will be granted the right to
take payment of the Common Stock in cash rather than shares of Common Stock.  If
a participant  who has elected to receive  deferred  compensation in the form of
shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have violated the  short-swing  profit
rules of the federal  securities laws, then such election shall be void and such
deferred  amount shall be credited to the  participant's  Deferred  Compensation
Account as cash.

     Trust.  The  Company  may  establish  one or more  trusts to fund  deferred
compensation  obligations  under the Amended Incentive Plan. Each trust shall be
permitted  to hold cash,  Common  Stock of the  Company,  or other assets to the
extent of the Company's  obligations.  Although the assets of such a trust would
be  intended  to be used  for the  exclusive  purpose  of  paying  the  deferred
compensation  obligations  under the Amended  Incentive  Plan, the assets of the
trust would remain subject to the Company's general creditors.  As a result, the
rights of  participants  in any assets of such a trust shall be no greater  than
the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Company.

     Distributions. Except in the case of financial hardship, a participant will
not receive a distribution from his or her Deferred  Compensation  Account until
the earlier of (1) termination of the  participant's  employment or directorship
with the  Company or (2) the death or legal  incapacitation  of the  participant
(each a "Distribution Event"). In addition, a Director may, at the time he first
becomes eligible to participate in the Deferred  Compensation  Plan,  specify an
age  (not  less  than  55  years)  to  receive  distributions  of  his  Deferred
Compensation  Account. The Committee has the authority,  in its sole discretion,
to  allow an  early  distribution  from a  participant's  Deferred  Compensation
Account in the event of severe  financial  hardship due to the sudden illness of
the  participant  or  a  participant's   family  member,  or  the  loss  of  the
participant's property due to casualty or other extraordinary circumstance.

     Each participant's  Deferred  Compensation  Account shall be distributed in
either a lump sum or in annual  installments over a period of up to ten years as
specified  by the  participant  at the  time of his  initial  election  to defer
compensation   ("Distribution   Election").   A   participant   may  change  his
Distribution Election at any time prior to sixty (60) days before a Distribution
Event. If a participant  dies prior to distribution of the entire balance of the
Deferred  Compensation  Account, the undistributed  balance shall be paid to the
beneficiary designated by the


                                       17


participant or in the absence of such designation,  to the legal  representative
or the person or entity identified in the deceased participant's last will.

     If the participant fails to provide a Distribution  Election,  the Board of
Directors, in its sole discretion, shall determine the Distribution Election. In
addition,  the Board of Directors  may, in its sole  discretion,  distribute the
balance of a participant's  Deferred Compensation Account in a lump sum, even if
the participant  had elected  installment  payments,  in the event a participant
whose employment with the Company has been terminated continues to be affiliated
with a direct competitor of the Company after reasonable notice from the Board.

     Change in Control.  In the event of a "change in  control" of the  Company,
each participant  will be permitted to elect,  during the thirty (30) day period
immediately prior to the change in control,  to receive a distribution of all or
a portion of his or her Deferred  Compensation  Account during the seven (7) day
period after the change in control.  For purposes of the Amended Incentive Plan,
"change in control" means:

     (i) the  acquisition  by a person or persons acting in concert of the power
to vote  twenty-five  percent (25%) or more of a class of the  Company's  voting
securities;

     (ii) the  acquisition  by a person of the power to direct the  Company's or
the Bank's  management  or policies,  if the Board of Directors or the Office of
Thrift Supervision has made a determination that such acquisition constitutes or
will  constitute  an  acquisition  of  control  of the Bank or  Company  for the
purposes of the Savings & Loan Holding Company Act or the Change in Bank Control
Act and the regulations thereunder;

     (iii) during any period of two (2)  consecutive  years,  individuals who at
the  beginning of such period  constitute  the Board of Directors of the Company
cease,  for any reason,  to constitute at least a majority  thereof,  unless the
election of each Director who was not a Director at the beginning of such period
has been approved in advance by Directors representing at least two-thirds (2/3)
of the Directors then in office who were Directors in office at the beginning of
the period;  provided,  however,  that for purposes of this clause  (iii),  each
Director who is first elected to the Board (or first  nominated by the Board for
election by the shareholders)  with the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of
the Directors who were  Directors at the beginning of the period shall be deemed
to be a Director at the beginning of the two-year period;

     (iv) the  Company  shall have  merged  into or  consolidated  with  another
corporation,  or merged another corporation into the Company, on a basis whereby
less  than  fifty  percent  (50%) of the  total  voting  power of the  surviving
corporation is represented  by shares held by persons who were  shareholders  of
the Company immediately before the merger or consolidation; or

     (v) the Company shall have sold to another person (a)  substantially all of
the Company's assets or (b) the Bank.

The term "person"  refers to an  individual,  corporation,  partnership,  trust,
association, joint venture, pool, syndicate, sole proprietorship, unincorporated
organization or other entity.

     Non-Transferability  of Deferred  Compensation.  A  participant's  right to
receive  payments of deferred  compensation  are not assignable or transferable,
shall not be subject to alienation,  anticipation,  sale, pledge, encumbrance or
other  legal  process,  and shall not be in any  manner  subject to the debts or
liabilities  of such  participant.  In the event a  participant  attempts such a
transfer,  the Committee may, in its  discretion,  terminate such  participant's
interest  in such  deferred  compensation  to the  extent  the  Committee  deems
necessary  or advisable  to prevent or limit the effects of such  transfer.  Any
deferred  compensation  effected  by such  termination  shall be retained by the
Company or the trust and the Committee may, in its sole discretion,  pay to such
participant,  his or her spouse or  children  in such a manner as the  Committee
deems proper.

     Effect of  Dissolution  and Related  Transactions.  Subject to any required
action by the stockholders, if the Company shall be the surviving corporation in
any  merger or  consolidation  (except a merger  or  consolidation  in which the
stockholders of the Company receive the securities of another corporation), each
Award shall pertain to


                                       18


and apply to the  securities  which a holder  of the  number of shares of Common
Stock subject to the Award would have been  entitled.  Upon a dissolution of the
Company, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, a merger or
consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, a merger or
consolidation  in  which  the  Company  is the  surviving  corporation  but  the
stockholders of the Company receive  securities of another  corporation or other
property,  or  the  sale  or  disposition  of all  or  substantially  all of the
Company's  assets,  the  Committee,  in its  sole  discretion,  shall  have  the
authority (a) to cancel each outstanding  Award and pay to the participant,  for
each share of Common Stock  subject to the  cancelled  Award,  an amount in cash
equal to the difference between the value of the securities or other property to
be received by the holder of a share of Common Stock and the  exercise  price of
the Award, or (b) to provide for the exchange of each  outstanding  Award with a
substitute  award of the same type with  respect to the  property for which such
Award is exchanged,  with such  adjustments  to the exercise  price or number of
shares or amount of property  subject to the  substitute  award as the Committee
deems appropriate.

     Duration of Amended  Incentive Plan. The Amended Incentive Plan will expire
by its terms on October  16,  2010,  after  which date no Award may be  granted,
except that the Amended  Incentive  Plan may be terminated at an earlier date by
action of the Board of Directors.  The expiration of the Amended Incentive Plan,
or its  termination  by the Board of  Directors,  will not affect any Award then
outstanding.

     Amendment and Termination of Amended Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors
shall have  complete  power and authority to amend the Amended  Incentive  Plan,
provided,  however, the Board of Directors may not, without the affirmative vote
of the  holders  of a  majority  of the voting  stock of the  Company,  make any
amendment which would (a) abolish the Committee  without  designating such other
committee,   change  the   qualifications  of  its  members,   or  withdraw  the
administration of the Amended Incentive Plan from its supervision,  (b) increase
the  maximum  number of shares for which  Awards may be  granted,  (c) amend the
formula for determination of the exercise price of Options,  (d) extend the term
of the Amended  Incentive Plan or (e) amend the requirements as to the employees
eligible to receive Awards.  In addition,  the Board of Directors shall not make
any other amendment to the Amended Incentive Plan without  stockholder  approval
to the  extent  necessary  or  desirable  to  comply  with any  applicable  law,
regulation  or  stock  exchange  rule.   Without  the  written  consent  of  the
participant, except as provided in the Amended Incentive Plan, no termination or
amendment of the Amended  Incentive Plan shall adversely  affect in any material
way any Award previously granted.

     Financial   Considerations.   The   Company   will   receive  no   monetary
consideration  for the granting of Awards under the Amended  Incentive  Plan. It
will receive no monetary  consideration other than the exercise price for shares
of Common  Stock  issued to  participants  upon  exercise of an Award that is an
Option.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

     ISOs. An optionee  recognizes no taxable  income upon the grant of ISOs. If
the optionee holds the shares purchased upon exercise of an ISO for at least two
years from the date the ISO is granted,  and for at least one year from the date
the ISO is exercised,  any gain realized on the sale of the shares received upon
exercise of the ISO is taxed as long-term capital gain. However,  the difference
between the fair market  value of the Common  Stock on the date of exercise  and
the exercise  price of the ISO will be treated by the optionee as current income
in the year of exercise  for  purposes  of the  alternative  minimum  tax. If an
optionee  disposes  of the  shares  before the  expiration  of either of the two
special  holding  periods  noted  above,  the  disposition  is a  "disqualifying
disposition." In this event,  the optionee will be required,  at the time of the
disposition of the Common Stock, to treat the lesser of the gain realized or the
difference  between the  exercise  price and the fair market value of the Common
Stock at the date of  exercise as ordinary  income,  and the excess,  if any, as
capital gain.

     The Company will not be entitled to any  deduction  for federal  income tax
purposes as the result of the grant or exercise of an ISO, regardless of whether
or not  the  exercise  of the ISO  results  in  liability  to the  optionee  for
alternative  minimum tax. However, if an optionee has ordinary income taxable as
compensation  as a result of a  disqualifying  disposition,  the Company will be
entitled to deduct an equivalent amount.


                                       19


     NSOs. In the case of a NSO, an optionee will recognize ordinary income upon
the  exercise of the NSO in an amount equal to the  difference  between the fair
market  value of the shares on the date of exercise and the option price (or, if
the  optionee  is  subject  to  certain  restrictions  imposed  by  the  federal
securities laws, upon the lapse of those restrictions  unless the optionee makes
a special  tax  election  within 30 days after the date of  exercise to have the
general rule apply).  Upon a subsequent  disposition of such shares,  any amount
received by the  optionee in excess of the fair market value of the shares as of
the exercise  will be taxed as capital  gain.  The Company will be entitled to a
deduction  for  federal  income  tax  purposes  at the same time and in the same
amount as the ordinary income  recognized by the optionee in connection with the
exercise of a NSO.

     SARs. A participant  recognizes no taxable income upon the grant of an SAR.
Upon the exercise of the SAR, the participant will recognize  ordinary income in
an amount equal to excess of the fair market value of the shares  received  over
the grant price of such shares  under the SAR.  The Company  will be entitled to
deduct for federal  income tax purposes  the same amount as the ordinary  income
recognized by the participant at the time of the exercise.

     Restricted  Stock.   Generally,   except  as  described  in  the  following
paragraph, a participant recognizes no taxable income upon the grant or purchase
of Restricted  Stock that is subject to a "substantial  risk of  forfeiture," as
defined in Section 83 of the Code, until such time as the Restricted Stock is no
longer  subject  to the  substantial  risk  of  forfeiture.  At that  time,  the
participant  will be taxed, at ordinary income rates, on the difference  between
the fair market value of the shares and the amount the participant paid, if any,
for the  Restricted  Stock.  The Company will be eligible for a tax deduction at
the time the participant  recognizes the income in an amount equal to the income
recognized.

     A  participant  may elect,  under  Section  83(b) of the Code, to recognize
taxable ordinary income at the time the Restricted Stock is awarded in an amount
equal  to the  fair  market  value  of the  shares  at the  time  of the  grant,
determined without regard to any forfeiture restrictions. If such an election is
made,  the Company  will be  entitled  to a  deduction  at that time in the same
amount.  Future appreciation of the shares will be taxed at either the long-term
or  short-term  capital gains rate when the shares are sold  depending  upon the
length of time the participant held the shares.  However,  if, after making such
an election, the shares are forfeited, the participant will be unable to claim a
deduction.

     Unrestricted  Stock.  If the  Unrestricted  Stock  award  provides  for the
immediate transfer of shares to the participant,  the participant will recognize
ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at the
time of grant. If the Unrestricted  Stock award provides for a deferred transfer
of shares to the participant,  the participant  will recognize  taxable ordinary
income  at the  time  the  Unrestricted  Stock is  actually  transferred  to the
participant. The Company will be entitled to a deduction at such time and in the
same amount as the participant recognizes income.

     Deferred  Compensation.  For purposes of the federal income tax laws, it is
intended that  participants  will not realize taxable income on any compensation
that is deferred under the Amended  Incentive Plan at the time such compensation
is  earned.  When a  participant  receives  any  distributions  from  his or her
Deferred  Compensation Account, any cash and the fair market value of any shares
of Common  Stock  distributed  to the  participant  will be treated as  ordinary
income.  The Company  will be entitled  to a  deduction  for federal  income tax
purposes  at the  same  time  and in the  same  amount  as the  ordinary  income
recognized  by the  participant  in  connection  with a  distribution  from  the
participant's Deferred Compensation Account.

New Plan Benefits

     The grant of an Award,  the  types of  Awards  and the  number of shares of
Common  Stock  subject to such Awards  under the Amended Plan are subject to the
discretion  of the  Committee;  therefore,  the benefits or amounts that will be
received by any participant or group of  participants  in the Amended  Incentive
Plan,  if approved,  including  directors and key  employees,  are not currently
determinable.  To date,  only  Options have been  granted to  participants.  The
following  table sets forth the  aggregate  number of shares  subject to Options
granted during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.

     2003.
(2)  Mr.  Holman was not a member of the Board of Directors on November 1, 2002,
     the date options were granted during the year ended June 30, 2003.

     In addition,  had the Amended Incentive Plan been effective during the year
ended June 30, 2003,  the Company  estimates  that it would have  awarded  9,900
shares of Restricted Stock to all  non-executive  officer  employees as a group,
with no awards of Restricted Stock to directors or executive  officers.  No SARs
would have been awarded during the year ended June 30, 2003.

     The  amount of  benefits  payable  in the  future  as a result of  deferred
compensation  under the Amended  Incentive  Plan, if approved,  is not currently
determinable  because such benefits  depend on the number of participants in the
Amended  Incentive Plan, the amount of compensation  each participant  elects to
defer,  and the fair market  value of the  Company's  Common Stock as it changes
over time.

Recommendation and Vote Required

The  Board of  Directors  has  determined  that the  Amended  Incentive  Plan is
desirable,  cost  effective,  and  produces  incentives  which will  benefit the
Company and its  stockholders.  The Board of  Directors  is seeking  stockholder
approval of the Amended  Incentive Plan, in order to satisfy the requirements of
the Code for favorable tax treatment of ISOs, to comply with Nasdaq requirements
and to exempt certain option  transactions from the short-swing trading rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

     Stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of
the  holders of a majority of the votes cast by  stockholders  of the Company at
the  Meeting.  The Board of Directors  recommends  a vote "FOR"  approval of the
Amended Incentive Plan.

                             AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Audit  Committee  has  reviewed  and  discussed  the audited  financial
statements of the Company with  management and has discussed with Crowe,  Chizek
and Company LLP ("Crowe,  Chizek"),  the  Company's  independent  auditors,  the
matters required to be discussed under  Statements on Auditing  Standards No. 61
("SAS 61"). In addition, the Audit Committee has received from Crowe, Chizek the
written  disclosures  and the letter  required to be delivered by Crowe,  Chizek
under Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 ("ISB Standard No. 1") and has
met with  representatives  of Crowe,  Chizek to discuss the  independence of the
auditing firm.

     The Audit Committee has reviewed the non-audit  services currently provided
by the Company's independent auditor and has considered whether the provision of
such services is compatible with  maintaining the  independence of the Company's
independent auditors.


                                       22


     Based on the Audit  Committee's  review of the  financial  statements,  its
discussion  with  Crowe,  Chizek  regarding  SAS 61, and the  written  materials
provided by Crowe Chizek  under ISB  Standard  No. 1 and the related  discussion
with Crowe, Chizek of their independence, the Audit Committee has recommended to
the Board of Directors that the audited  financial  statements of the Company be
included in its Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003 for
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                                            THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

                                                               Gerald A. Fallon

             PROPOSAL III -- RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Audit  Committee  of the Board of Directors  has renewed the  Company's
arrangements with Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP, independent public accountants,
to be its  auditors  for the 2004 fiscal year,  subject to  ratification  by the
Company's  stockholders.  A representative of Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP will
be present at the Meeting to respond to  stockholders'  questions  and will have
the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires.

     The appointment of the auditors must be approved by a majority of the votes
cast by the  stockholders of the Company at the Meeting.  The Board of Directors
recommends  that  shareholders  vote "FOR" the  approval of the  appointment  of
auditors.

     On January 22, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors dismissed KPMG LLP as
its independent  accountants.  Such dismissal  became  effective on February 12,
2002, the date on which KPMG LLP completed its review of the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter  Ended  December 31, 2001.  The decision was
recommended  by the Audit  Committee of the Board of Directors  and  unanimously
approved by the Board.  The firm of Crowe  Chizek and Company,  LLP,  Cleveland,
Ohio, was engaged to perform an audit of the Company's financial  statements for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and to provide other accounting services.

     KPMG LLP  served  as the  Company's  independent  accountants  to audit the
Company's  consolidated  financial  statements for the year ended June 30, 2001.
KPMG LLP's audit report on the Company's financial statements for the year ended
June 30, 2001 did not contain any adverse  opinion or  disclaimer of opinion and
was not  qualified  or modified  as to  uncertainty,  audit scope or  accounting
principles.


     During the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 and for the subsequent
interim  period  from July 1, 2001  through  February  12,  2002,  there were no
disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial  statement   disclosure,   or  auditing  scope  or  procedure,   which
disagreements,  if not  resolved  to the  satisfaction  of KPMG LLP,  would have
caused them to make reference thereto in their audit report.

             SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Pursuant to regulations  promulgated  under the Exchange Act, the Company's
officers,  directors and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding Common
Stock  ("Reporting  Persons")  are  required  to file  reports  detailing  their
ownership  and  changes  of  ownership  in  such  Common  Stock   (collectively,
"Reports"),  and to furnish the Company with copies of all such  Reports.  Based
solely on its  review of the copies of such  Reports or written  representations
that no such Reports were  necessary that the Company  received  during the past
fiscal year or with respect to the last fiscal year,  management  believes  that
during  the  fiscal  year  ended June 30,  2003,  all of the  Reporting  Persons
complied with these reporting requirements.

                                     PURPOSE

The primary  purpose of the Audit  Committee (the  "Committee") is to assist the
Board of  Directors  (the  "Board")  of PVF Capital  Corp.  (the  "Company")  in
fulfilling   its    responsibility   to   provide   oversight   and   monitoring
responsibilities  by  reviewing:  the  financial  reports  and  other  financial
information  provided by the Company to any governmental body or the public; the
Company's  systems of internal controls  regarding  finance,  accounting,  legal
compliance  and ethics that  management and the Board have  established  and may
establish  from time to time; the Company's  auditing,  accounting and financial
reporting   practices   generally;   and  all  potential  conflict  of  interest
situations,   including  those  arising  from  any  related-party  transactions.
Consistent with this function,  the Audit Committee should encourage  continuous
improvement  of,  and  should  foster  adherence  to,  the  Company's  policies,
procedures and practices at all levels. The Audit Committee's primary duties and
responsibilities are to:

o    Serve as an  independent  and  objective  party to  monitor  the  Company's
     financial reporting practices and internal control system.
o    Review and appraise the  qualifications  and  performance  of the Company's
     independent accountants and internal auditing department.
o    Provide an open avenue of communication among the independent  accountants,
     financial and senior management,  the internal auditing  department and the
     Board of Directors.

                                    AUTHORITY

In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to investigate any
matter brought to its attention with unrestricted access to all books,  records,
facilities and personnel of the Company and the power to retain outside counsel,
auditors or other experts for this purpose.

                                   MEMBERSHIP

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three members of the Board, and the
Committee's composition will meet the requirements of applicable laws, the Audit
Committee Policy of NASDAQ,  and all rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Accordingly, all members will be Directors:

o    Who are independent.  The independence  standard means that,  except in the
     capacity  as a member of the Board of  Directors  and a member of the audit
     and any other Board  committee,  the audit  committee  member may not be an
     employee  of the Company and may not accept any  consulting,  advisory,  or
     other  compensatory fee from the Company or be an affiliated  person of the
     Company or any of its subsidiaries; and
o    Who are financially  literate or who become  financially  literate within a
     reasonable period of time after appointment to the Committee. It is desired
     that at least one member of the Committee  will have  accounting or related
     financial management expertise.

                              KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

The Committee's job is one of oversight and it recognizes that the management of
the Company is responsible for preparing the financial statements of the Company
and that the independent  audit firm is responsible for auditing those financial

more time,  knowledge  and more  detailed  information  on the  Company  than do
Committee members; consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities,

Company's  financial  statements  or any  professional  certification  as to the
outside  auditor's  work.  The  members of the  Committee  shall  perform  their
responsibilities  in good faith; in a manner each of them reasonably believes to
be in the best interest of the Company and in accordance  with  applicable  laws
and regulations.

The following functions shall be common recurring activities of the Committee in
fulfilling its oversight function:

     the independent accountants propose to render to the Board of Directors and
     shareholders.
o    Approve the  independent  audit firm's  estimated fees for the annual audit

     policies and practices to be used, all alternative  treatments of financial
     information within generally accepted accounting  principles that have been
     discussed  with  management  and  the  risks  of  using  such   alternative
     treatments,   and  other  material  written   communications   between  the
     independent auditor and management.

     may perform for the Company and disclose such approved non-auditor services
     in periodic reports to stockholders.

     Board of Directors.

     be a regular rotation of the auditor itself.

services of members of the Board,  employees,  officers,  and  executives of the
Company upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct

               under the Plan or as the Committee  deems  necessary or advisable
               to  administer  the  Plan,  including  but not  limited  to,  the
               determination of whether and to what extent any Performance Goals
               have been achieved; and

          (l)  Retain  counsel,  accountants  and  other  consultants  to aid in
               exercising its powers and carrying out its duties under the Plan.

Awards  granted  under  the Plan,  any Award  Agreement  and all  decisions  and
determinations  by the  Committee  with  respect  to the Plan  shall  be  final,

                                  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.

                            STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     8.1  GRANT  OF  SARs.   The  Committee  is  authorized  to  grant  SARs  to
Participants on the following terms and conditions:

          (a)  RIGHT TO  PAYMENT.  Upon  the  exercise  of a Stock  Appreciation
               Right,  the  Participant  to whom it is granted  has the right to
               receive the excess, if any, of:

               (1)  The  Fair  Market  Value  of a share of Stock on the date of
                    exercise; over

               (2)  The  grant  price  of  the  Stock   Appreciation   Right  as
                    determined  by the  Committee,  which shall not be less than
                    the  Fair  Market  Value  of a share of Stock on the date of
                    grant in the case of any SAR related to any Incentive  Stock
                    Option.

          (b)  OTHER  TERMS.  All such  Awards  shall be  evidenced  by an Award
               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


     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


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


     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.


                                       11


     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


               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  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


               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


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


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.
