Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01.              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 2, 2007, First Defiance Financial Corp. (the “Company”) executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pavilion Bancorp, Inc. (“Pavilion”) under which Pavilion and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank of Lenawee (“Lenawee”), will be merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal Bank of the Midwest (“First Federal”). In the transaction, the Company will pay $37.50 in cash and 1.4209 shares of stock of the Company for each outstanding share of Pavilion. The total value of the transaction is approximately $55.7 million based on the October 2, 2007 closing value of the Company’s stock.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Pavilion, including, among others, Pavilion’s covenant to conduct its business in the ordinary course during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Merger and not to engage in certain transactions during such period without the consent of the Company in writing. In addition, Pavilion has agreed to convene a special meeting of its shareholders to consider the approval of the Merger Agreement. Pavilion has also agreed not to solicit or initiate any proposals or offers from any person or entity relating to competing business combination transactions. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the directors and executive officers of Pavilion has signed an agreement to vote the shares they own in Pavilion in favor of the Merger.

The anticipated acquisition is subject to approval by Pavilion’s shareholders, receipt of appropriate regulatory approvals and certain other closing conditions, including the accuracy of representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Pavilion, and further provides that in the event Pavilion executes a definitive agreement with another party within 12 months of the termination of the Merger Agreement, Pavilion could be required to pay a termination fee of $2,000,000. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, the transaction is expected to be completed late in the first quarter of 2008.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

           The Company will be filing a Registration Statement on Form S-4 concerning the Merger with the SEC, which will include the joint prospectus/proxy statement that will be mailed to Pavilion’s shareholders.  WE URGE INVESTORS TO READ THESE DOCUMENTS BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.  Investors will be able to obtain the documents free of charge, when filed, at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.  In addition, documents filed with the SEC by the Company will be available free of charge from the Secretary of the Company at 601 Clinton Street, Defiance, Ohio 43512, telephone (419) 782-5015.  INVESTORS SHOULD READ THE PROXY STATEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE

MAKING A DECISION CONCERNING THE MERGER.  Copies of all recent proxy statements and annual reports of the Company are also available free of charge from the Company by contacting the company secretary.

           The Company, Pavilion and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies to approve the Merger.  Additional information about the directors and executive officers of the Company may be obtained through the SEC’s website from the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on March 20, 2007.  Additional information about the directors and executive officers of Pavilion may be obtained through the SEC’s website from the definitive proxy statement filed by Pavilion with the SEC on March 20, 2007.  Additional information about participants in the proxy solicitation and their interests in the transaction will be contained in the joint prospectus/proxy statement to be filed with the SEC.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the “Agreement”), dated as of October 2, 2007, is made and entered into by and between First Defiance Financial Corp., an Ohio corporation (“First Defiance”) and Pavilion Bancorp, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Pavilion”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Pavilion and First Defiance have each determined that it is in the best interests of their respective corporations and shareholders for Pavilion to merge with and into First Defiance (the “Corporate Merger”) followed by the merger of Bank of Lenawee (“Lenawee”) with First Federal Bank of the Midwest (“First Federal”) (the “Bank Merger”); and

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Pavilion and First Defiance have each approved this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions hereinafter set forth, First Defiance, and Pavilion, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

ARTICLE ONE

THE MERGER

1.01.        Corporate Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.02), Pavilion shall merge with and into First Defiance in accordance with the Ohio General Corporation Law (the “OGCL”) and the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”).  First Defiance shall be the continuing and surviving corporation in the Corporate Merger, shall continue to exist under the laws of the State of Ohio, and shall be the only one of First Defiance and Pavilion to continue its separate corporate existence after the Effective Time.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Surviving Corporation” refers to First Defiance immediately after the Effective Time.  As a result of the Corporate Merger, each of the common shares, without par value, of Pavilion (the “Pavilion Shares”), which is issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall be converted or cancelled in the manner provided in Article Two.

1.02.        Effective Time. The Effective Time of the Corporate Merger shall be the time on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 9.01) provided in the certificates of merger to be filed with the Ohio Secretary of State and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth.

1.03.        Governing Documents of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation and code of regulations of First Defiance as in effect

Exhibit 2

immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the articles of incorporation and code of regulations of the Surviving Corporation.

1.04.        Bank Merger. Immediately after the Corporate Merger, First Defiance shall cause the Bank Merger to be completed.

1.05.        Structure of Combination. With the consent of Pavilion, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, First Defiance and First Federal may at any time change the method of effecting the mergers (including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article One) if and to the extent First Defiance deems such change to be desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or composition of the Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 2.01; (ii) be likely to materially delay or jeopardize receipt of any required regulatory approvals or materially delay or jeopardize the satisfaction of any conditions to the closing of the Corporate Merger; or (iii) adversely affect the tax consequences to the Pavilion shareholders as a result of receiving the Per Share Merger Consideration.  Pavilion shall, if requested by First Defiance, enter into one or more amendments to this Agreement in order to effect any such change.

ARTICLE TWO

CONVERSION OF SHARES; SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES

2.01.        Conversion of Pavilion Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Corporate Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof:

(a)           Subject to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.05 and 10.01(h)(2), and except as otherwise provided by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.01 and by Sections 2.04 and 5.14(a), each Pavilion Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the following:

(i)           1.4209 (the “Exchange Ratio”) First Defiance Shares (as defined in Section 4.03) (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”), and

(ii)           a cash amount equal to $37.50 (the “Per Share Cash Consideration” and, together with the Per Share Stock Consideration, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

(b)           No certificates or scrip representing fractional First Defiance Shares shall be issued.  Each holder of Pavilion Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional First Defiance Share shall receive an amount of cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the fractional First Defiance Share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all Pavilion Shares held at the Effective Time by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (ii) $75.00.

(c)           Any Pavilion Shares held by Pavilion or any Pavilion Subsidiaries and any Pavilion Shares owned directly or indirectly by First Defiance or any subsidiary of First Defiance for its own account shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange.  For purposes of this Agreement, “subsidiary” has the meaning

-2-

Exhibit 2

ascribed to such term in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

(d)           Each option to acquire Pavilion Shares (each a “Pavilion Stock Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised seven calendar days prior to the Effective Time shall be terminated at the Effective Time and each holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of each Pavilion Share that would otherwise have been issuable upon exercise thereof, an amount in cash equal to the positive difference, if any, between $75.00 less the exercise price of such Pavilion Stock Option.

2.02.        Exchange of Pavilion Certificates.

(a)           As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, First Defiance shall cause the exchange agent of First Defiance (the “Exchange Agent”) to mail to each holder of record of Pavilion Shares (i) a form letter of transmittal and instructions for use in surrendering for exchange the certificates evidencing the Pavilion Shares (“Pavilion Certificates”) that will have been cancelled and extinguished as a result of the Corporate Merger.  The letter of transmittal shall specify that the risk of loss and title to the Pavilion Certificates shall pass only upon delivery of such certificates as specified in the letter of transmittal.

(b)           Upon surrender of a Pavilion Certificate for cancellation, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, the holder of such Pavilion Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole First Defiance Shares and/or the amount of cash into which the aggregate number of Pavilion Shares previously represented by such surrendered Pavilion Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, and the Pavilion Certificate so surrendered shall thereafter be cancelled.  All payments made upon the surrender of Pavilion Certificates pursuant to this Article Two shall be deemed to have been made in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares evidenced by such Pavilion Certificates, provided that such payments have been made in accordance with this Agreement.

(c)           If any Pavilion Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Pavilion Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent or First Defiance in its sole discretion, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may require, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Pavilion Certificate the cash and First Defiance Shares deliverable in respect thereof.

(d)           None of First Defiance, Pavilion, the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any former holder of Pavilion Shares for any payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of a fractional First Defiance Share interest or any dividends or distributions with respect to First Defiance Shares delivered to a public official if required by any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(e)           No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to First Defiance Shares and payable to the holders of record thereof after the Effective

-3-

Exhibit 2

Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Pavilion Certificate until it is surrendered by the holder thereof.  Subject to the effect, if any, of applicable law, after the subsequent surrender and exchange of a Pavilion Certificate, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which became payable after the Effective Time with respect to the First Defiance Shares issued in exchange for such Pavilion Certificate.

(f)           After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration or transfer of Pavilion Shares on the stock transfer books of Pavilion.  In the event that, after the Effective Time, Pavilion Certificates are presented for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article Two.

(g)           First Defiance or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Per Share Merger Consideration such amounts as First Defiance or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other provision of domestic or foreign tax law (whether national, federal, state, provincial, local or otherwise).  To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by First Defiance or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Pavilion Certificates.

(h)           First Defiance may from time to time waive one or more of the rights provided to it in this Article Two to withhold certain payments, deliveries and distributions; and no such waiver shall constitute a waiver of its rights thereafter to withhold any such payment, delivery or distribution in the case of any person.

2.03.        Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect any occurrence subsequent to the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to which the outstanding First Defiance Shares shall have been or will be increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities through reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other like changes in First Defiance’s capitalization.

2.04.        First Defiance Shares. Each First Defiance Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be issued and outstanding and unaffected by the Corporate Merger.

-4-

Exhibit 2

2.05.       Tax Consequences.

(a)           For federal income tax purposes, the Corporate Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.  The parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Department regulation sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to preserve the status of the Corporate Merger as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, if the aggregate value of the First Defiance Shares to be issued in connection with the Corporate Merger (excluding the value of fractional shares for which cash is to be paid pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) based upon the closing price of the First Defiance Shares as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Aggregate Share Consideration”) would be less than 40% of the sum of the Aggregate Cash Consideration (defined below) and the Aggregate Share Consideration, then First Defiance may, in its sole discretion, increase the Exchange Ratio so that the aggregate value of the First Defiance Shares to be issued in connection with the Corporate Merger is equal to 40% of the sum of the Aggregate Share Consideration and the Aggregate Cash Consideration.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Aggregate Cash Consideration” shall mean the sum of (i) the aggregate cash consideration to be paid in exchange for Pavilion Shares and (ii) the aggregate cash consideration to be paid in lieu of fractional First Defiance Shares pursuant to Section 2.01(b).

-34-

Exhibit 2

FIRST DEFIANCE FINANCIAL CORP. TO ACQUIRE

PAVILION BANCORP, INC.

· Acquisition will add $230 million in deposits and $243 million in loans

· First Defiance expands market area into southeastern Michigan

· Accretive to earnings in the first full year of operations

· Transaction is expected to close late in first quarter of 2008

Defiance, Ohio (October 2, 2007) -- First Defiance Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FDEF) and Pavilion Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB:PVLN) today announced the execution of a definitive agreement for First Defiance to acquire Pavilion Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank of Lenawee, which is headquartered in Adrian, Michigan. Each Pavilion Bancorp shareholder will receive 1.4209 shares of First Defiance common stock and $37.50 in cash.  Based on the closing price of First Defiance shares on October 2, 2007, the transaction is valued at $55.7 million or $75.54 per share.

      

        Exhibit 99      

    

With $290 million in assets, The Bank of Lenawee has eight banking offices in Lenawee and Hillsdale counties in southeastern Michigan: two in Adrian, two in Tecumseh and one each in Hudson, Morenci, Waldron and Hillsdale. Combined, the banking offices had $230 million in deposits and $243 million in loans as of June 30, 2007. First Defiance Financial Corp. and Pavilion Bancorp anticipate that the transaction will be completed late in the first quarter of 2008, pending regulatory approvals, the approval of shareholders of Pavilion and completion of other customary closing conditions. Concurrent with the regulatory approval process for the merger First Defiance Financial Corp. will apply to the Federal Reserve Board for approval to convert to a bank holding company and its subsidiary, First Federal Bank of the Midwest will seek approval to convert to a national bank charter.

First Defiance Chairman, President and CEO William J. Small said the acquisition expands First Federal Bank’s presence into adjacent markets and supports its growth strategy. “We have a strong presence in northwest Ohio; this acquisition allows us to expand farther north into the southeastern Michigan market and it adds the type of communities that have been very responsive to our ‘Customer First’ style of banking,” Small said. “In addition, Bank of Lenawee has a solid reputation and a base of commercial and retail customers that is similar to our existing franchise. We will continue with a local decision-making strategy that the market is accustomed to and we look forward to working with the staff, customers and shareholders for a successful transition.”

“We believe that First Defiance, with its proven commitment to community banking, is an ideal partner for Pavilion Bancorp,” commented Doug Kapnick, Chairman of Pavilion Bancorp. “We believe this transaction will produce significant benefits for our shareholders, customers and communities.”

“We are pleased with the opportunities this gives us to expand the product offerings to our customers, while maintaining the tradition of local decision-making and superior customer service,” said Richard DeVries, President and CEO of Bank of Lenawee.

      

        Exhibit 99      

    

“Our strength in community banking is based on the long-term relationships we build in our markets and we have a proud history of being good corporate citizens,” added Mr. Small. “We will continue to provide a true community bank choice for the customers in Adrian and surrounding areas.  Plus, a national bank charter is more consistent with First Federal Bank’s operating strategy as a full-service community bank.“

First Defiance expects the merger to be accretive to earnings in the first 12 months with no repurchase assumptions or revenue synergies assumed. Management estimates that annual pre-tax expense reductions will be approximately $3.5 million with approximately 75% to be realized in 2008 and the balance thereafter. The company expects one-time costs, including acquisition-related and restructuring charges will not exceed $3.8 million on a pre-tax basis over the integration period.  Upon completion of the acquisition, on a pro forma basis using June 30, 2007 data, First Defiance Financial Corp. will have $1.8 billion in total assets and $1.4 billion in total deposits.

Pavilion Bancorp was advised by Donnelly, Penman and Partners, and its legal counsel was Varnum, Riddering, Schmidt and Howlett, LLP. First Defiance was advised by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and its legal counsel was Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease, LLP.
