WAYNE BANCORP, INC.
ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (also referred to as the "Company" or "Registrant") was
incorporated under Delaware law at the direction of the Board of Directors of
Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank") to acquire all of the capital stock the
Bank issued in connection with its conversion from the mutual to stock form,
which was consummated on June 27, 1996. The Registrant is a unitary savings and
loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Currently, the Registrant does not
transact any material business other than through its sole subsidiary, the Bank.
The Bank was organized in 1921 as the Pequannock and Wayne Building and
Loan Association, a New Jersey mutual building and loan association, and was the
first financial institution located in the Township of Wayne, New Jersey. In
1946, the Bank changed its name to Wayne Savings and Loan Association, a New
Jersey mutual savings and loan association and converted to a federally
chartered mutual savings bank under its current name in 1994. The Bank's primary
regulator is the OTS. The Bank's deposits are insured up to the maximum
allowable amount by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC.
MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION
The Bank conducts its business through five banking offices, including its
administrative office, all of which are located in Passaic County, New Jersey.
The Bank's deposit base is drawn principally from Passaic County, primarily the
township of Wayne, a stable, residential community of approximately 50,000
persons located 20 miles west of New York City. The Bank's primary market area
is a highly competitive market for financial services and the Bank faces intense
competition both in making loans and in attracting deposits. The Bank faces
direct competition from a significant number of financial institutions operating
in its market area, many with a state-wide or regional presence and in some
cases a national presence. Many of these financial institutions are
significantly larger and have greater financial resources than the Bank. The
Bank's competition for loans comes principally from savings and loan
associations, mortgage banking companies, commercial banks, credit unions and
insurance companies. Its most direct competition for deposits has historically
come from savings and loan associations and commercial banks. In addition, the
Bank faces increasing competition for deposits and other financial products from
non-bank institutions such as brokerage firms and insurance companies in such
areas as short-term money market funds, mutual funds and annuities. Competition
may also increase as a result of the lifting of restrictions on the interstate
operations of financial institutions.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
Loan Portfolio Composition. The Bank's loan portfolio consists primarily of
mortgage loans and home equity loans secured by one- to four-family residences.
At December 31, 1996, the Bank had total gross loans outstanding of $147.3
million, of which $113.7 million or 77.2% consisted of one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans, and $24.4 million, or 16.6% were home equity loans.
The remainder of the portfolio consists of $185,000 of multi-family mortgage
loans, or 0.1% of total gross loans, $7.1 million of commercial real estate
loans, or 4.8% of total gross loans $644,000 of commercial business loans, or
0.4% of total gross loans, and $1.3 million of consumer loans or 0.9% of total
gross loans. The Bank had no construction loans at December 31, 1996. At
December 31, 1996, 38.6% of the Bank's mortgage loans had adjustable interest
rates. All of the Bank's mortgage loan portfolio consists of conventional
mortgage loans.

Loan Originations and Purchases. The Bank's mortgage lending activities are
conducted primarily through the Bank's offices. All loans originated by the Bank
are underwritten by the Bank pursuant to the Bank's policies and procedures. The
Bank originates both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage loans. The Bank's
ability to originate loans is dependent upon the relative customer demand for
fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage loans, which is affected by the current
and expected future level of interest rates. Loan originations have increased
from $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $57.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1996, reflecting the expansion of the Bank's lending
area for first mortgages as well as the increase in loans originated through a
loan origination program. In addition, the Bank has increased its marketing
efforts to increase the volume of home equity loans. Finally, the Bank is
attempting to expand the commercial lending function. It is the general policy
of the Bank to retain all loans originated in its portfolio.
The Bank has sought to maintain a more stable level of loan originations by
its continuing participation in a loan origination program. For the year ended
December 31, 1996, the Bank originated $26.8 million in loans through this
program. All loans originated through the use of this program are one- to
four-family loans and are secured by properties located in New Jersey. Through
this program, borrowers are given information from participating lenders quoting
their most favorable terms for each loan. The borrower determines which
institution provides the best loan for the borrower's financing needs and upon
choosing a lender, deals directly with that lender throughout the loan
origination process. The Bank pays an annual marketing fee to the company that
manages the loan origination program, which enables the loan company to
advertise continuously, giving participating lenders consistent market exposure.
If a loan is originated by the Bank to a borrower who used the loan program to
find the Bank, the Bank pays a 25 basis point fee to the loan company at the
time of the loan closing.

(1) All loans purchased consisted of one- to four-family loans.
One- to Four-Family Lending. The Bank currently offers both fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate mortgage loans primarily secured by one- to four-family
residences, with maturities up to 30 years, including loans with bi-weekly
payment options, for retention in its portfolio. All such loans are secured by
properties located in the Bank's primary market area, or in other parts of New
Jersey if originated through the loan origination program. All one- to
four-family loans are underwritten in accordance with FHLMC/FNMA standards. Loan
originations are obtained from the Bank's branch offices, through the loan
origination program, existing or past customers, through advertising and, to a
lesser extent, from referrals from real estate brokers and attorneys.
At December 31, 1996, residential mortgage loans secured by one- to
four-family residences totalled $113.7 million or 77.2% of the Bank's total
gross loan portfolio. Of the one- to four- family residential mortgage loans
outstanding at that date, 43.7% were adjustable-rate loans. The Bank's one- to
four-family adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans are primarily indexed to the
U.S. Treasury Bill rates. The Bank currently offers one, three, five, seven and
ten-year ARM loans, with interest rates based on a spread above the one, three,
five, seven and ten-year U.S. Treasury Bill rates, respectively. The Bank's ARM
loans are subject to limitations of 2% per adjustment on interest rate increases
or decreases and lifetime caps of 5%.
The Bank originates one- to four-family residential loans in amounts up to
90% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan, although the Bank
may originate loans in amounts up to 95% of the appraised value for first-time
home buyers. Private mortgage insurance is required for all loans with a loan to
value ratio over 80%. The Bank's one- to four-family residential mortgage loans
do not provide for negative amortization. Residential mortgage loans in the
Bank's portfolio generally include due on sale clauses, which provide the Bank
with the contractual right to demand the loan immediately due and payable in the
event that the borrower transfers ownership of the property without the Bank's
consent. The Bank generally enforces its rights under these clauses. In recent
years, the Bank has sought to originate one- to four-family mortgage loans with
terms of 15 years or less, although the Bank does originate fixed rate loans
with terms up to 30 years. At December 31, 1996, one- to four-family loans with
terms of 15 years or less, including ARM loans, totalled $44.2 million or 38.9%
of total one- to four-family loans.
4
<PAGE>
Upon receipt of a completed loan application from a prospective borrower
for a loan secured by one- to four-family residential real estate, a credit
report is ordered and income, financial and employment information is requested
and verified. An appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed
loan is undertaken by an independent appraiser previously approved by the Bank.
It is the Bank's policy to require title insurance on all mortgage loans.
Borrowers also must obtain hazard insurance prior to closing. Potential
borrowers are qualified for one-year ARM loans based on the fully indexed rate.
Home Equity Loans. The Bank originates home equity loans, generally secured
by one- to four-family, owner-occupied residential properties on which the Bank
is the primary lender. The Bank's policy is to originate home equity loans in
amounts up to 75% of the appraised value of the property, less existing liens.
Home equity loans are originated with fixed or adjustable rates. Home equity
loans originated with fixed-rates are for terms of 15 years or less and those
originated with adjustable-rates may be made for terms up to 20 years. At
December 31, 1996, $24.4 million, or 16.6% of total gross loans receivable were
home equity loans. Payments of principal and interest are due monthly. The Bank
employs similar underwriting standards in making home equity loans as those
utilized for residential mortgage loans, except that borrowers applying for an
adjustable-rate home equity loan are qualified at the initial interest rate plus
4% and there is a 15% interest rate cap for the life of the loan. The Bank holds
both the first and second lien on a substantial amount of the properties
securing the Bank's home equity loans.
Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Loans. The Bank's policies provide
that it may originate multi-family mortgage loans and commercial real estate
loans generally secured by property located in its primary market area. The Bank
expects to increase these types of lending in the future. In reaching its
decision on whether to make a commercial real estate or multi-family loan, the
Bank considers a number of factors, including: market conditions, the net
operating income of the mortgaged premises before debt service and depreciation;
the debt service ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service); and
the ratio of loan amount to appraised value. Commercial real estate loans and
multi-family loans may be made up to 75% of the appraised value of the property.
Properties securing a loan are appraised by an independent appraiser. In most
cases, borrowers must personally guarantee the loans. The Bank offers 5 or 7
year balloon loans with maximum terms of 20 years and three-year ARM loans that
adjust every third year to the three-year U.S. Treasury Bill plus 3.25%. There
are no adjustment caps. At December 31, 1996, $7.1 million, or 4.8% of total
gross loans receivable were commercial real estate loans and $185,000, or 0.1%
of total gross loans receivable were multi-family loans. The largest loan in
this portfolio is a $2.2 million loan secured by a commercial office building in
Wayne. This loan was a five-year balloon loan made in 1988 which became due in
December 1993 and refinanced in 1994. The loan is currently a three adjustable
with a twenty year amortization period. This loan is currently performing in
accordance with its terms.
When evaluating a multi-family or commercial real estate loan, the Bank
also considers the financial resources and income level of the borrower, the
borrower's experience in owning or managing similar properties, and the Bank's
lending experience with the borrower. The Bank's underwriting policies require
that the borrower be able to demonstrate strong management skills and the
ability to maintain the property from current rental income. The borrower is
required to present evidence of the ability to repay the mortgage and a history
of making mortgage payments on a timely basis. In making its assessment of the
creditworthiness of the borrower, the Bank generally reviews the financial
statements, employment and credit history of the borrower, as well as other
related documentation.
Commercial real estate and multi-family loans are generally larger and
present a greater degree of risk than loans secured by one- to four-family
residences. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate and
multi-family properties are often dependent on the successful operation or
management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to a
greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or in the
economy. The Bank seeks to minimize these risks through its underwriting
standards, which require the loans to be qualified on the basis of the
property's income and debt service ratio.
Construction Lending. The Bank has, on a case by case basis, originated
loans for the development of property to existing customers in its primary
market area. The Bank's construction loans primarily have been made to finance
the construction of one- to four-family, owner-occupied residential properties.
As part of its business plan, the Bank may increase the amount of its
construction lending. The Bank's policies provide that construction loans may be
made in amounts up to 75% of the appraised value of the property for
construction. The Bank requires an independent appraisal of the property. The
Bank generally requires personal guarantees and a permanent loan commitment if
the Bank will not be making the permanent loan.
5
<PAGE>
Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree
of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate.
Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of
the initial estimate of the property's value at completion of construction or
development compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction.
If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted
with a project, when completed, having a value which is insufficient to ensure
full repayment.
Consumer Loans. The Bank's consumer loans generally consist of student
education loans and loans secured by savings accounts. At December 31, 1996, the
Bank's consumer loan portfolio consisted of $616,000 passbook loans, $460,000 of
student education loans, $158,000 of automobile loans and $23,000 of personal
loans. All of the student education loans are underwritten in accordance with,
and are guaranteed by, the New Jersey Higher Education Assistance Authority. The
Bank has recently authorized the origination of automobile loans up to $25,000,
unsecured personal loans up to $5,000 and overdraft lines of credit up to $2,500
and intends to continue to pursue opportunities to expand these areas of
lending.
Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential
mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or
are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In such cases,
any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an
adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the
greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan
collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and
therefore are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including
bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on
such loans. At December 31, 1996, there were $20,000 of consumer loans
delinquent 90 days or more. There can be no assurance that delinquencies will
not increase in the future, particularly in light of the Bank's decision to
increase its efforts to originate a higher volume and greater variety of
consumer loans.
Commercial Business Loans. The Bank intends to pursue opportunities to
offer commercial business loans, primarily to businesses located in the Bank's
primary market area. At December 31, 1996, $644,000 or 0.4% of total gross loans
receivable were commercial business loans. Federally chartered savings
institutions, such as the Bank, are authorized to make secured or unsecured
loans and letters of credit for commercial, corporate, business and agricultural
purposes and to engage in commercial leasing activities, up to a maximum of 10%
of total assets. The Bank's commercial business lending policy includes credit
file documentation and analysis of the borrower's character, capacity to repay
the loan, the adequacy of the borrower's capital and collateral, as well as an
evaluation of conditions affecting the borrower. Analysis of the borrower's
past, present and future cash flows will also be an important aspect of the
Bank's current credit analysis.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of
the borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other
income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more
easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and typically
are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash
flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the
repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the
success of the business itself. Further, the collateral securing the loans may
depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and mayfluctuate in value
based on the success of the business.
Delinquencies and Classified Assets. Management and the Board of Directors
perform a monthly review of all delinquent loans. The procedures taken by the
Bank with respect to delinquencies vary depending on the nature of the loan and
period of delinquency. The Bank generally requires that delinquent mortgage
loans be reviewed and that a written late charge notice be mailed no later than
the 16th day of delinquency. The Bank's policies provide that telephone contact
will be attempted to ascertain the reasons for delinquency and the prospects of
repayment. When contact is made with the borrower at any time prior to
foreclosure, the Bank will attempt to obtain full payment or work out a
repayment schedule with the borrower to avoid foreclosure. It is the Bank's
policy to place all loans that are delinquent by three or more payments on
nonaccrual status, resulting in the Bank no longer accruing interest on such
loans and reversing any interest previously accrued but not collected. A
non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and
interest payments are brought current and future monthly principal and interest
payments are expected to be collected. Property acquired by the Bank as a result
of foreclosure on a mortgage loan is classified as "real estate owned" and is
recorded at the lower of the unpaid principal balance or fair value less costs
to sell at the date of acquisition and thereafter. Upon foreclosure, the Bank
generally requires an appraisal of the property and, thereafter, appraisals of
the property on an annual basis and external inspections on at least a quarterly
basis.

<PAGE>
Federal regulations and the Bank's Classification of Assets Policy requires
that the Bank utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of
reporting problem and potential problem assets. The Bank currently classifies
problem and potential problem assets as "Substandard," "Doubtful" or "Loss." An
asset is considered Substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current
net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if
any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the "distinct
possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the
deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as Doubtful have all of the
weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added
characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in
full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, "highly
questionable and improbable." Assets classified as Loss are those considered
"uncollectible" and of such little value that their continuance as assets
without the establishment of a specific loss allowance is not warranted. Assets
which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to
warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but posses
weaknesses are required to be designated "Special Mention."
A savings institution's determination as to the classification of its
assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the
OTS, which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss
allowances. The OTS, in conjunction with the other federal banking agencies,
adopted an interagency policy statement on the allowance for loan and lease
losses. The policy statement provides guidance for financial institutions on
both the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of
adequate allowances and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in
determining the adequacy of general valuation guidelines. Generally, the policy
statement recommends that institutions have effective systems and controls to
identify, monitor and address asset quality problems; that management has
analyzed all significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio
in a reasonable manner; and that management has established acceptable allowance
evaluation processes that meet the objectives set forth in the policy statement.
While the Bank believes that it has established an adequate allowance for loan
losses, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Bank's loan
portfolio, will not request the Bank to materially increase its allowance for
loan losses, thereby negatively affecting the Bank's financial condition and
earnings. Although management believes that, based on information currently
available to it at this time, its allowance for loan losses is adequate, actual
losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the
level of allowances for loan losses may become necessary.
When an insured institution classifies one or more assets, or portions
thereof, as Substandard or Doubtful, it is required to establish a general
valuation allowance for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management.
General valuation allowances, which is a regulatory term, represent loss
allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated
with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been
allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies
one or more assets, or portions thereof, as loss, it is required either to
establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the
asset soclassified or to charge off such amount.
The President and Chief Lending Officer reviews and classifies the Bank's
loans on a quarterly basis and reports the results of the review to the Board of
Directors. The Bank classifies loans in accordance with the management
guidelines described above. At December 31, 1996, the Bank had $116,000 of REO.
At December 31, 1996, the Bank had $2.5 million of assets classified as Special
Mention, $2.4 million of assets classified as Substandard, nothing classified as
Doubtful and $209,000 classified as Loss which amount is fully reserved for.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the
risks inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its
loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans of which
full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other
matters, the estimated market value of the underlying collateral, economic
conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant
recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require the Bank to make additional provisions for losses on loans based upon
information available at the time of the review.
The following table sets forth activity in the Bank's allowance for loan
losses for the periods set forth in the table.

SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in
various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations,
securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of
insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase
agreements and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, federally
chartered savings institutions may also invest in commercial paper, corporate
debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a
federally chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized to make
directly. Additionally, the Bank must maintain minimum levels of investments
that qualify as liquid assets under OTS regulations. As a member of the FHLB,
the Bank also is required to maintain liquid assets at minimum levels which
change from time to time. The Bank's liquid investments primarily include
federal agency securities and federal funds.
Management of the Bank, with the Board of Directors ratification, sets the
investment policy of the Bank. This policy dictates that investments will be
made based on the safety of the principal, the liquidity requirements of the
Bank and the return on the investment and capital appreciation. All investment
decisions are made by the Investment Committee, comprised of members of
Management, and such investment decisions are ratified by the Board of Directors
of the Bank.
The Bank's investments include FHLB-NY stock, mortgage-backed securities
insured or guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC or FNMA and U.S. government agency
securities.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the amortized
cost and estimated market values of the Bank's mortgage-backed and investment
securities at the dates indicated.

SOURCES OF FUNDS
GENERAL Deposits are the primary source of the Bank's funds for use in
lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposits, the
Bank obtains funds from advances from the FHLB-NY and other borrowings.
DEPOSITS The Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range
of interest rates and terms. The Bank's deposits consist of regular savings,
NOW, and money market and certificate accounts. See Note 9 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. The Bank's deposits are obtained primarily from its market
area and it does not use brokers to obtain deposits. The Bank relies primarily
on aggressive marketing campaigns, customer service and long-standing
relationships with customers to attract and retain these deposits. The Bank pays
competitive interest rates on deposits, but generally does not pay the highest
interest rate among institutions in its area.
The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Bank has allowed it to be
competitive in its market area in obtaining funds and respond with flexibility
to changes in customer demand. As certain customers have become more interest
rate conscious, the Bank has become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations
in deposit flows. The Bank has sought to offer various deposit and checking
options offering favorable features not offered by the Bank's competitors and
has marketed those products aggressively. Although the Bank's efforts to
maintain and increase its volume of deposits enabled it to increase deposits in
fiscal 1996, the ability of the Bank to attract and maintain those accounts will
continue to be affected by market conditions.
The following table presents the deposit activity of the Bank for the

BORROWINGS
Although deposits are the Bank's primary source of funds, the Bank's policy
has been to utilize borrowings when they are a less costly source of funds. In
addition, the Bank may borrow to maintain regulatory liquidity.
The Bank obtains advances from the FHLB-NY on the security of its capital
stock of the FHLB-NY and certain of its mortgage loans and mortgage-backed
securities. Such advances are made pursuant to several different credit
programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities.
Regulations limit the amount of FHLB-NY advances to 30% of total assets without
obtaining specific approval from the Board of Directors of the FHLB-NY. As of
December 31, 1996, outstanding advances from the FHLB-NY amounted to $27.0
million.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Bank's
borrowed funds at or for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. The Bank

SUBSIDIARIES
The Bank has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Wayne Savings Financial
Services Group, Inc., Wayne Savings Asset Management Corporation and 2300 Corp.
Financial Services, which began operation in November 1989, markets, as a
broker, financial products to the customers of the Bank and the general public.
The products offered include annuities, life insurance, disability insurance,
group life insurance, stock, bonds and mutual funds, financial planning, estate
planning, asset management and allocation services. Richard Len, a director of
the Bank and the Company, serves as Chairman of Financial Services and Asset
Management. Neither Asset Management nor 2300 Corp. has conducted any activities
to date.
PERSONNEL
As of December 31, 1996, the Bank, including Financial Services, had 46
full-time and 11 part-time employees. The employees are not represented by a
collective bargaining unit, and the Bank considers its relationship with its
employees to be good.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
GENERAL
The activities of savings institutions, such as the Bank, are governed by
the Home Owners' Loan Act, as amended ("HOLA") and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act ("FDI Act"). The Bank is subject to extensive
13
<PAGE>
regulation, examination and supervision by the OTS, as its primary federal
regulator, and the FDIC, as the deposit insurer. The Bank is a member of the
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System and its deposit accounts are insured up
to applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") managed
by the FDIC. The Bank must file reports with the OTS concerning its activities
and financial condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to
entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of,
other savings institutions. The OTS and/or the FDIC conduct periodic
examinations to test the Bank's safety and soundness and compliance with various
regulatory requirements. This regulation and supervision establishes a
comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is
intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The
regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion
in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination
policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and
the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any
change in such regulatory requirements and policies, whether by the OTS, the
FDIC or the Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Bank and its
operations. Certain of the regulatory requirements applicable to the Bank are
referred to below or elsewhere herein. The description of statutory provisions
and regulations applicable to savings institutions set forth in this Form 10-K
does not purport to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations
and their effects on the Bank.
FEDERAL SAVINGS INSTITUTION REGULATION
Capital Requirements. The OTS capital regulations require savings
institutions to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital
ratio, a 3% leverage (core) capital ratio and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. In
addition, the prompt corrective action standards discussed below also establish,
in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard, a 4% leverage (core) capital
ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMEL financial
institution rating system), and, together with the risk-based capital standard
itself, a 4% Tier I risk-based capital standard. Core capital is defined as
common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, and minority interests in equity
accounts of consolidated subsidiaries less intangibles other than certain
purchased mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The OTS
regulations also require that, in meeting the tangible, leverage (core) and
risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally deduct investments in
and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for a national
bank.
The risk-based capital standard for savings institutions requires the
maintenance of Tier I (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital
and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of 4% and 8%, respectively.
In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain
off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%,
as assigned by the OTS capital regulation based on the risks OTS believes are
inherent in the type of asset. The components of Tier I (core) capital are
equivalent to those discussed earlier. The components of supplementary capital
currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred
stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate
preferred stock and the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum
of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital
included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital.
The OTS regulatory capital requirements also incorporate an interest rate
risk component. Savings institutions with "above normal" interest rate risk
exposure are subject to a deduction from total capital for purposes of
calculating their risk-based capital requirements. A savings institution's
interest rate risk is measured by the decline in the net portfolio value of its
assets (i.e., the difference between incoming and outgoing discounted cash flows
from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts) that would result from
a hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates
divided by the estimated economic value of the institution's assets. In
calculating its total capital under the risk-based capital rule, a savings
institution whose measured interest rate risk exposure exceeds 2% must deduct an
amount equal to one-half of the difference between the institution's measured
interest rate risk and 2%, multiplied by the estimated economic value of the
institution's assets. The Director of the OTS may waive or defer a savings
institution's interest rate risk component on a case-by-case basis. A savings
institution with assets of less than $300 million and risk-based capital ratios
in excess of 12% is not subject to the interest rate risk component, unless the
OTS determines otherwise. For the present time, the OTS has deferred
implementation of the interest rate risk component. At December 31, 1996, the
Bank met each of its capital requirements, in each case on a fully phased-in
basis and it is anticipated that the Bank will not be subject to the interest
rate risk component.
14
<PAGE>
Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. Under the OTS prompt corrective action
regulations, the OTS is required to take certain supervisory actions against
undercapitalized institutions, the severity of which depends upon the
institution's degree of undercapitalization. Generally, a savings institution is
considered "well capitalized" if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets is at least 10%, its ratio of Tier I (core) capital to risk-weighted
assets is at least 6%, its ratio of core capital to total assets is at least 5%,
and it is not subject to any order or directive by the OTS to meet a specific
capital level. A savings institution generally is considered "adequately
capitalized" if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is at least
8%, its ratio of Tier I (core) capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 4%,
and its ratio of core capital to total assets is at least 4% (3% if the
institution receives the highest CAMEL rating). A savings institution that has a
ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of less than 8%, a ratio of Tier
I (core) capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4% or a ratio of core
capital to total assets of less than 4% (3% or less for institutions with the
highest examination rating) is considered to be "undercapitalized." A savings
institution that has a total risk-based capital ratio less than 6%, a Tier 1
capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is
considered to be "significantly undercapitalized" and a savings institution that
has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be
"critically undercapitalized." Subject to a narrow exception, the banking
regulator is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution
that is "critically undercapitalized." The regulation also provides that a
capital restoration plan must be filed with the OTS within 45 days of the date a
savings institution receives notice that it is "undercapitalized,"
"significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." Compliance
with the plan must be guaranteed by any parent holding company. In addition,
numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an
undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased
monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth, capital distributions and
expansion. The OTS could also take any one of a number of discretionary
supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the
replacement of senior executive officers and directors.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Deposits of the Bank are presently insured
by the SAIF. Both the SAIF and the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), (the deposit
insurance fund that covers most commercial bank deposits), are statutorily
required to be recapitalized to a 1.25% of insured reserve deposits ratio. Until
recently, members of the SAIF and BIF were paying average deposit insurance
premiums of between 24 and 25 basis points. The BIF met the required reserve in
1995, whereas the SAIF was not expected to meet or exceed the required level
until 2002 at the earliest. This situation was primarily due to the statutory
requirement that SAIF members make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by
the Financing Corporation ("FICO") to recapitalize the predecessor to the SAIF.
In view of the BIF's achieving the 1.25% ratio, the FDIC ultimately adopted
a new assessment rate schedule of from 0 to 27 basis points under which 92% of
BIF members paid an annual premium of only $2,000. With respect to SAIF member
institutions, the FDIC adopted a final rule retaining the previously existing
assessment rate schedule applicable to SAIF member institutions of 23 to 31
basis points. As long as the premium differential continued, it may have had
adverse consequences for SAIF members, including reduced earnings and an
impaired ability to raise funds in the capital markets. In addition, SAIF
members, such as the Bank were placed at a substantial competitive disadvantage
to BIF members with respect to pricing of loans and deposits and the ability to
achieve lower operating costs.
On September 30, 1996, the President signed into law the Deposit Insurance
Funds Act of 1996 (the "Funds Act") which, among other things, imposed a special
one-time assessment on SAIF member institutions, including the Bank, to
recapitalize the SAIF. As required by the Funds Act, the FDIC imposed a special
assessment of 65.7 basis points on SAIF assessable deposits held as of March 31,
1995, payable November 27, 1996 (the "SAIF Special Assessment"). The SAIF
Special Assessment was recognized by the Bank as an expense in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 and is generally tax deductible. The SAIF Special Assessment
recorded by the Bank amounted to $1.0 million on a pre-tax basis and $660,000 on
an after-tax basis.
The Funds Act also spreads the obligations for payment of the FICO bonds
across all SAIF and BIF members. Beginning on January 1, 1997, BIF deposits will
be assessed for FICO payment of 1.3 basis points, while SAIF deposits will pay
6.48 basis points. Full pro rata sharing of the FICO payments between BIF and
SAIF members will occur on the earlier of January 1, 2000 or the date the BIF
and SAIF are merged. The Funds Act specifies that the BIF and SAIF will be
merged on January 1, 1999, provided no savings associations remain as of that
time.
As a result of the Funds Act, the FDIC recently voted to effectively lower
SAIF assessments to 0 to 27 basis points as of January 1, 1997, a range
comparable to that of BIF members. SAIF members will also continue to make the
FICO payments described above. The FDIC also lowered the SAIF assessment
schedule for the fourth quarter of
15
<PAGE>
1996 to 18 to 27 basis points. Management cannot predict the level of FDIC
insurance assessments on an on-going basis, whether the savings association
charter will be eliminated or whether the BIF and SAIF will eventually be
merged.
The Bank's assessment rate for calendar year 1996 was 23 basis points and
the premium paid for this period was $393,000. A significant increase in SAIF
insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses
and results of operations of the Bank.
Under the FDI Act, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon
a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in
an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any
applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the
OTS. The management of the Bank does not know of any practice, condition or
violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance.
Thrift Rechartering Legislation. The Funds Act provides that the BIF and
SAIF will merge on January 1, 1999 if there are no more savings associations as
of that date. That legislation also requires that the Department of Treasury
submit a report to Congress by March 31, 1997 that makes recommendations
regarding a common financial institutions charter, including whether the
separate charters for thrifts and banks should be abolished. Various proposals
to eliminate the federal thrift charter, create a uniform financial institutions
charter and abolish the OTS have been introduced in Congress. The bills would
require federal savings institutions to convert to a national bank or some type
of state charter by a specified date (January 1, 1998 in one bill, June 30, 1998
in the other) or they would automatically become national banks. Converted
federal thrifts would generally be required to conform their activities to those
permitted for the charter selected and divestiture of nonconforming assets would
be required over a two year period, subject to two possible one year extensions.
State chartered thrifts would become subject to the same federal regulation as
applies to state commercial banks. Holding companies for savings institutions
would become subject to the same regulation as holding companies that control
commercial banks, with a limited grandfather provision for unitary savings and
loan holding company activities. The Bank is unable to predict whether such
legislation would be enacted, the extent to which the legislation would restrict
or disrupt its operations or whether the BIF and SAIF funds will eventually
merge.
Loans to One Borrower. Under the HOLA, savings institutions are generally
subject to the limits on loans to one borrower applicable to national banks.
Generally, savings institutions may not make a loan or extend credit to a single
or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and
surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital
and surplus, if such loan is secured by readily-marketable collateral, which is
defined to include certain financial instruments and bullion. At December 31,
1996, the Bank's limit on loans to one borrower was $4.2 million. At December
31, 1996, the Bank's largest aggregate outstanding balance of loans to one
borrower was $2.2 million.
QTL Test. The HOLA requires savings institutions to meet a QTL test. Under
the QTL test, a savings and loan association is required to maintain at least
65% of its "portfolio assets" (total assets less: (i) specified liquid assets up
to 20% of total assets; (ii) intangibles, including goodwill; and (iii) the
value of property used to conduct business) in certain "qualified thrift
investments" (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including
certain mortgage-backed securities) in at least 9 months out of each 12 month
period.
A savings institution that fails the QTL test is subject to certain
operating restrictions and may be required to convert to a bank charter. As of
December 31, 1996, the Bank maintained 79.2% of its portfolio assets in
qualified thrift investments and, therefore, met the QTL test.
Limitation on Capital Distributions. OTS regulations impose limitations
upon all capital distributions by savings institutions, such as cash dividends,
payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders
of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged
against capital. The rule establishes three tiers of institutions, which are
based primarily on an institution's capital level. An institution that exceeds
all fully phased-in capital requirements before and after a proposed capital
distribution ("Tier 1 Bank") and has not been advised by the OTS that it is in
need of more than normal supervision, could, after prior notice but without
obtaining approval of the OTS, make capital distributions during a calendar year
equal to the greater of (i) 100% of its net earnings to date during the calendar
year plus the amount that would reduce by one-half its "surplus capital ratio"
(the excess capital over its fully phased-in capital requirements) at the
beginning of the calendar year or (ii) 75% of its net income for the previous
four quarters. Any additional capital distributions would require prior
regulatory approval. In the event the Bank's capital fell below its regulatory
requirements or the OTS notified it that it was in
16
<PAGE>
need of more than normal supervision, the Bank's ability to make capital
distributions could be restricted. In addition, the OTS could prohibit a
proposed capital distribution by any institution, which would otherwise be
permitted by the regulation, if the OTS determines that such distribution would
constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. In December 1994, the OTS proposed
amendments to its capital distribution regulation that would generally authorize
the payment of capital distributions without OTS approval provided that the
payment does not cause the institution to be undercapitalized within the meaning
of the prompt corrective action regulation. However, institutions in a holding
company structure would still have a prior notice requirement. At December 31,
1996, the Bank was a Tier 1 Bank.
Liquidity. The Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of
specified liquid assets equal to a monthly average of not less than a specified
percentage of its net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term borrowings.
This liquidity requirement is currently 5% but may be changed from time to time
by the OTS to any amount within the range of 4% to 10% depending upon economic
conditions and the savings flows of member institutions. OTS regulations also
require each member savings institution to maintain an average daily balance of
short-term liquid assets at a specified percentage (currently 1%) of the total
of its net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or
less. Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet these liquidity
requirements. The Bank's liquidity and short-term liquidity ratios for December
31, 1996 were 3.9% and 7.4% respectively, which exceeded the applicable
requirements. The Bank has never been subject to monetary penalties for failure
to meet its liquidity requirements.
Assessments. Savings institutions are required to pay assessments to the
OTS to fund the agency's operations. The general assessments, paid on a
semi-annual basis, are computed upon the savings institution's total assets,
including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported in the Bank's latest quarterly
thrift financial report. The assessments paid by the Bank for the calendar year
ended December 31, 1996 totalled $57,000.
Branching. OTS regulations permit nationwide branching by federally
chartered savings institutions to the extent allowed by federal statute. This
permits federal savings institutions to establish interstate networks and to
geographically diversify their loan portfolios and lines of business. The OTS
authority preempts any state law purporting to regulate branching by federal
savings institutions.
Transactions with Related Parties. The Bank's authority to engage in
transactions with related parties or "affiliates" (e.g., any company that
controls or is under common control with an institution) is limited by Sections
23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act ("FRA"). Section 23A limits the aggregate
amount of covered transactions with any individual affiliate to 10% of the
capital and surplus of the savings institution. The aggregate amount of covered
transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of the savings institution's
capital and surplus. Certain transactions with affiliates are required to be
secured by collateral in an amount and of a type described in Section 23A and
the purchase of low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited.
Section 23B generally provides that certain transactions with affiliates,
including loans and asset purchases, must be on terms and under circumstances,
including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as
favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with non-affiliated companies. In addition, savings institutions
are prohibited from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that
are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may
purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.
The Bank's authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and
10% shareholders ("insiders"), as well as entities such persons control, is
governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the FRA and Regulation O thereunder.
Among other things, such loans are required to be made on terms substantially
the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and to not involve more
than the normal risk of repayment. Recent legislation created an exception for
loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely
available to all employees of the institution and does not give preference to
insiders over other employees. Regulation O also places individual and aggregate
limits on the amount of loans the Bank may make to insiders based, in part, on
the Bank's capital position and requires certain board approval procedures to be
followed.
Enforcement. Under the FDI Act, the OTS has primary enforcement
responsibility over savings institutions and has the authority to bring actions
against the institution and all institution-affiliated parties, including
stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or
recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an
insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a
capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or
directors to institution of receivership, conservatorship or termination of
deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and
17
<PAGE>
can amount to $25,000 per day, or even $1 million per day in especially
egregious cases. Under the FDI Act, the FDIC has the authority to recommend to
the Director of the OTS enforcement action to be taken with respect to a
particular savings institution. If action is not taken by the Director, the FDIC
has authority to take such action under certain circumstances. Federal law also
establishes criminal penalties for certain violations.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. The federal banking agencies have
adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness
("Guidelines") and a final rule to implement safety and soundness standards
required under the FDI Act. The Guidelines set forth the safety and soundness
standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems
at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. The
standards set forth in the Guidelines address internal controls and information
systems; internal audit system; credit underwriting; loan documentation;
interest rate risk exposure; asset growth; and compensation, fees and benefits.
If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails
to meet any standard prescribed by the Guidelines, the agency may require the
institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance
with the standard, as required by the FDI Act. The final rule establishes
deadlines for the submission and review of such safety and soundness compliance
plans when such plans are required.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
The Federal Reserve Board regulations require savings institutions to
maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction accounts
(primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). During fiscal 1996, the Federal
Reserve Board regulations generally required that reserves be maintained against
aggregate transaction accounts as follows: for accounts aggregating $52.0
million or less (subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board) the reserve
requirement is 3%; and for accounts aggregating greater than $52.0 million, the
reserve requirement is $1.6 million plus 10% (subject to adjustment by the
Federal Reserve Board between 8% and 14%) against that portion of total
transaction accounts in excess of $52.0 million. The first $4.3 million of
otherwise reservable balances (subject to adjustments by the Federal Reserve
Board) were exempted from the reserve requirements. The Bank is in compliance
with the foregoing requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve
requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy
liquidity requirements imposed by the OTS.
FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION
FEDERAL TAXATION
General. The Bank reports its income on a consolidated basis and uses the
accrual method of accounting, and is subject to federal income taxation in the
same manner as other corporations with some exceptions, including particularly
the Bank's reserve for bad debts discussed below. The following discussion of
tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a
comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the Bank.
Bad Debt Reserves. For years beginning prior to December 31, 1995, thrift
institutions which qualified under certain definitional tests and other
conditions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") were permitted to
use certain favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable
income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve. A reserve could be
established for bad debts on qualifying real property loans (generally secured
by interests in real property improved or to be improved) under (i) the
Percentage of Taxable Income Method (the "PTI Method") or (ii) the Experience
Method. The reserve for nonqualifying loans was computed using the Experience
Method.
The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), which was
enacted on August 20, 1996, requires savings institutions to recapture (i.e.,
take into taxable income) certain portions of their accumulated bad debt
reserves. The 1996 Act repeals the reserve method of accounting for bad debts
effective for tax years beginning after 1995. Thrift institutions that would be
treated as small banks are allowed to utilize the Experience Method applicable
to such institutions, while thrift institutions that are treated as large banks
(those generally exceeding $500 million in assets) are required to use only the
specific charge-off method. Thus, the PTI Method of accounting for bad debts is
no longer available for any financial institution.
A thrift institution required to change its method of computing reserves
for bad debts will treat such change as a change in method of accounting,
initiated by the taxpayer, and having been made with the consent of the IRS. Any
Section 481(a) adjustment required to be taken into income with respect to such
change generally will be taken into taxable income ratably over a six-taxable
year period, beginning with the first taxable year beginning after 1995, subject
to the residential loan requirement.
18
<PAGE>
Under the residential loan requirement provision, the recapture required by
the 1996 Act will be suspended for each of two successive taxable years,
beginning with the Bank's current taxable year, in which the Bank originates a
minimum of certain residential loans based upon the average of the principal
amounts of such loans made by the Bank during its six taxable years preceding
its current taxable year.
Under the 1996 Act, for its current and future taxable years, the Bank is
permitted to make additions to its tax bad debt reserves. In addition, the Bank
is required to recapture (i.e., take into income) over a six year period the
excess of the balance of its tax bad debt reserves as of December 31, 1995 other
than its supplemental reserve for losses on loans, if any over the balance of
such reserves as of December 31, 1987. As a result of such recapture, the Bank
will pay a tax liability of approximately $317,000.
Distributions. Under the 1996 Act, if the Bank makes "non-dividend
distributions" to shareholders, such distributions will be considered to have
been made from the Bank's unrecaptured tax bad debt reserves (including the
balance of its reserves as of December 31, 1987) to the extent thereof, and then
from the Bank's supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent thereof,
and an amount based on the amount distributed (but not in excess of the amount
of such reserves) will be included in the Bank's income. Non-dividend
distributions include distributions in excess of the Bank's current and
accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes,
distributions in redemption of stock, and distributions in partial or complete
liquidation. Dividends paid out of the Bank's current or accumulated earnings
and profits will not be so included in the Bank's income.
The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a non-dividend is an
amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the
amount of the distribution. Thus, if the Bank makes a non-dividend distribution
to shareholders, approximately one and one-half times the amount of such
distribution (but not in excess of the amount of such reserves) would be
includable in income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 35% federal
corporate income tax rate. The Bank does not intend to pay dividends that would
result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserves.
SAIF Recapitalization Assessment. The Funds Act levied a 65.7-cent fee on
every $100 of thrift deposits held on March 31, 1995. For financial statement
purposes, this assessment was reported as an expense for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. The Funds Act includes a provision which states that the
amount of any special assessment paid to capitalize SAIF under this legislation
is deductible under Section 162 of the Code in the year of payment.
STATE AND LOCAL TAXATION
New Jersey Taxation. The Bank files New Jersey income tax returns. For New
Jersey income tax purposes, savings institutions are presently taxed at a rate
equal to 3% of taxable income. For this purpose, "taxable income" generally
means federal taxable income, subject to certain adjustments (including addition
of interest income on State and municipal obligations).
Delaware Taxation. As a Delaware holding company not earning income in
Delaware, the Company is exempted from Delaware corporate income tax but is
required to file an annual report with and pay an annual franchise tax to the
State of Delaware.

WAYNE BANCORP, INC.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made effective as of _________________, by
and between Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company"), a corporation organized
under the laws of Delaware, with its principal administrative office at 1195
Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, New Jersey and Johanna O'Connell (the "Executive"). Any
reference to "Institution" herein shall mean Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B. or any
successor thereto.
WHEREAS, the Holding Company wishes to assure itself of the services of
Executive for the period provided in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to serve in the employ of the Holding
Company on a full-time basis for said period.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereby
agree as follows:
1. POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
During the period of Executive's employment hereunder, Executive agrees to
serve as President of the Holding Company. The Executive shall render
administrative and management services to the Holding Company such as are
customarily performed by persons in a similar executive capacity and such duties
as are from time to time assigned to her by the Board of Directors. During said
period, Executive also agrees to serve, if elected, as an officer and director
of any subsidiary of the Holding Company; provided that, Executive shall only
serve as a director of the Holding Company and Institution so long as Executive
continues to serve full-time as the President of the Holding Company and
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Institution.
2. TERMS AND DUTIES.
(a) The period of Executive's employment under this Agreement shall be
deemed to have commenced as of the date first above written and shall continue
for a period of thirty-six (36) full calendar months thereafter. Commencing on
the date of the execution of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall be
extended for one day each day until such time as the Board of Directors of the
Holding Company (the "Board") or Executive elects not to extend the term of the
Agreement by giving written notice to the other party in accordance with Section
8 of this Agreement, in which case the term of this Agreement shall be fixed and
shall end on the third anniversary of the date of such written notice.
(b) During the period of Executive's employment hereunder, except for
periods of absence occasioned by illness, reasonable vacation periods, and
reasonable leaves of absence, Executive shall devote substantially all her
business time, attention, skill, and efforts to the faithful performance of her
duties hereunder including activities and services related to the
<PAGE>
organization, operation and management of the Holding Company and its direct or
indirect subsidiaries ("Subsidiaries"), including the Institution and Wayne
Savings Financial Services Group, Inc. ("Financial Services"), and participation
in community and civic organizations; provided, however, that, with the approval
of the Board, as evidenced by a resolution of such Board, from time to time,
Executive may serve, or continue to serve, on the boards of directors of, and
hold any other offices or positions in, companies or organizations, which, in
such Board's judgment, will not present any conflict of interest with the
Holding Company or its Subsidiaries, or materially affect the performance of
Executive's duties pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Executive's
employment with the Holding Company may be terminated by the Holding Company or
Executive during the term of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. However, Executive shall not perform, in any respect,
directly or indirectly, during the pendency of her temporary or permanent
suspension or termination from the Holding Company, duties or responsibilities
formerly performed at the Holding Company, or the Institution as part of her
duties and responsibilities as President.
3. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.
(a) The Executive shall be entitled to a salary from the Holding Company
or its Subsidiaries of not less than $125,000 per year ("Base Salary"). Base
Salary shall include any amounts of compensation deferred by Executive under any
qualified or unqualified plan maintained by the Holding Company and its
Subsidiaries. Such Base Salary shall be payable bi-weekly. During the period of
this Agreement, Executive's Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually; the
first such review will be made no later than one year from the date of this
Agreement. Such review shall be conducted by the Board or by a Committee of the
Board delegated such responsibility by the Board. The Board may by resolution
increase Executive's Base Salary. Any increase in Base Salary shall become the
"Base Salary" for purposes of this Agreement. In addition to the Base Salary
provided in this Section 3(a), the Holding Company shall also provide Executive,
at no premium cost to Executive, with all such other benefits as provided
uniformly to permanent full-time employees of the Holding Company and its
Subsidiaries.
(b) The Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit
plans, arrangements and perquisites substantially equivalent to those in which
Executive was participating or otherwise deriving benefit from immediately prior
to the beginning of the term of this Agreement, and the Holding Company and its
Subsidiaries will not, without Executive's prior written consent, make any
changes in such plans, arrangements or perquisites which would materially
adversely affect Executive's rights or benefits thereunder, except to the extent
that such changes are made applicable to all Holding Company employees eligible
to participate in such plans, arrangements and perquisites on a
non-discriminatory basis. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
provisions of this Subsection (b), Executive shall be entitled to participate in
or receive benefits under any employee benefit plans including, but not limited
to, retirement plans, supplemental retirement plans, pension plans,
profit-sharing plans, health-and-accident plans, medical coverage or any other
employee benefit plan or arrangement
2
<PAGE>
made available by the Holding Company and its Subsidiaries in the future to its
senior executives and key management employees, subject to and on a basis
consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans
and arrangements. Executive shall be entitled to incentive compensation and
bonuses as provided in any plan of the Holding Company and its Subsidiaries in
which Executive is eligible to participate. Nothing paid to the Executive under
any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of other compensation
to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement.
(c) In addition to the Base Salary provided for by paragraph (a) of this
Section 3 and other compensation provided for by paragraph (b) of this Section
3, the Holding Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable
travel and other reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of Executive's
obligations under this Agreement and may provide such additional compensation in
such form and such amounts as the Board may from time to time determine.
4. PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination (as herein defined)
during the Executive's term of employment under this Agreement, the provisions
of this Section shall apply. As used in this Agreement, an "Event of
Termination" shall mean and include any one or more of the following: (i) the
termination by the Holding Company of Executive's full-time employment hereunder
for any reason other than termination governed by Section 5(a) hereof, or for
Cause, as defined in Section 7 hereof; (ii) Executive's resignation from the
Holding Company's employ upon any (A) failure on the part of the Holding Company
to appoint Executive as President, (B) a material change in Executive's
function, duties, or responsibilities with the Holding Company or its
Subsidiaries, which change would cause Executive's position to become one of
lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the position and attributes
thereof described in Section 1, above, coupled with a material reduction in the
benefits and perquisites being provided to Executive immediately preceding the
change in Executive's functions, duties or responsibilities unless consented to
by the Executive, (C) a relocation of Executive's principal place of employment
by more than 15 miles from its location at the effective date of this
Agreement, unless consented to by the Executive, (D) a material reduction in the
benefits and perquisites to the Executive from those being provided as of the
effective date of this Agreement, unless consented to by the Executive, (E) a
liquidation or dissolution of the Holding Company or its Subsidiaries, or (F)
breach of this Agreement by the Holding Company. Upon the occurrence of any
event described in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) or (F), above, Executive
shall have the right to elect to terminate her employment under this Agreement
by resignation upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice given
within six full calendar months after the event giving rise to said right to
elect.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, on the Date of
Termination, as defined in Section 8, the Holding Company shall be obligated to
pay Executive, or, in the event of her subsequent death, her beneficiary or
beneficiaries, or her estate, as the case may be, a sum equal to the sum of: (i)
the amount of the remaining payments that the Executive would have earned if she
had continued her employment with the Holding Company during the remaining term
of this Agreement at the Executive's Base Salary at the Date of Termination; and
(ii) the
3
<PAGE>
amount equal to the annual contributions that would have been made on
Executive's behalf to any employee benefit plans of the Holding Company or its
Subsidiaries during the remaining term of this Agreement based on contributions
made (on an annualized basis) at the Date of Termination, provided, however that
any payments pursuant to this subsection and subsection (c) below shall not, in
the aggregate, exceed three times Executive's average annual compensation for
the five most recent taxable years that Executive has been employed by the
Holding Company or such lesser number of years in the event Executive has been
employed by the Holding Company for less than five years. At the election of the
Executive, which election is to be made prior to an Event of Termination, such
payments shall be made in a lump sum. In the event that no election is made,
payment to the Executive will be made on a monthly basis in approximately equal
installments during the remaining term of the Agreement. Such payments shall not
be reduced in the event the Executive obtains other employment following
termination of employment.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Holding Company
will cause to be continued life, medical, and disability coverage substantially
equivalent to the coverage maintained by the Holding Company or its Subsidiaries
for Executive prior to her termination at no premium cost to the Executive. Such
coverage shall cease upon the expiration of the remaining term of this
Agreement.
5. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" of the Holding
Company or its Subsidiaries shall mean an event of a nature that; (i) would be
required to be reported in response to Item 1(a) of the current report on Form
8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); or (ii) results in a
Change in Control of the Holding Company or its Subsidiaries within the meaning
of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Office of Thrift
Supervision (or its predecessor agency), as in effect on the date hereof
(provided, that in applying the definition of change in control as set forth
under the rules and regulations of the OTS, the Board shall substitute its
judgment for that of the OTS); or (iii) without limitation such a Change in
Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (A) any "person" (as
the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes
the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of voting securities of the Institution or the Holding
Company representing 20% or more of the Institution's or the Holding Company's
outstanding voting securities or right to acquire such securities except for any
voting securities of the Institution purchased by the Holding Company and any
voting securities purchased by any employee benefit plan of the Holding Company
or its Subsidiaries; or (B) individuals who constitute the Board on the date
hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the
date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of
the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election
by the Holding Company's stockholders was approved by a Nominating Committee
solely composed of members which are Incumbent Board members, shall be, for
purposes of this clause (B), considered as though he
4
<PAGE>
were a member of the Incumbent Board; or (C) a plan of reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Holding
Company or its Subsidiaries or similar transaction occurs or is effectuated in
which the Holding Company or its Subsidiaries is not the resulting entity;
provided, however, that such an event listed above will be deemed to have
occurred or to have been effectuated upon the receipt of all required federal
regulatory approvals not including the lapse of any statutory waiting periods;
or (D) a proxy statement has been distributed soliciting proxies from
stockholders of the Holding Company, by someone other than the current
management of the Holding Company, seeking stockholder approval of a plan of
reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Holding Company or its
Subsidiaries with one or more corporations as a result of which the outstanding
shares of the class of securities then subject to such plan or transaction are
exchanged for or converted into cash or property or securities not issued by the
Holding Company or its Subsidiaries shall be distributed; or (E) a tender offer
is made for 20% or more of the voting securities of the Holding Company or its
Subsidiaries then outstanding.
(b) If a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to Section 5(a) or the
Board has determined that a Change in Control has occurred, Executive shall be
entitled to the benefits provided in paragraphs (c) and (d), of this Section 5
upon her subsequent termination of employment at any time during the term of
this Agreement due to (i) Executive's dismissal, or (ii) Executive's voluntary
resignation following any demotion, loss of title, office or significant
authority or responsibility, coupled with a reduction in the compensation and
benefits being received by Executive immediately preceding the change in
Executive's functions, duties or responsibilities, or any reduction in the
annual compensation or material reduction in benefits or relocation of her
principal place of employment by more than 30 miles from its location
immediately prior to the change in control, unless such termination is because
of her death or termination for Cause.
(c) Upon the Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 5(b),
the Holding Company shall pay Executive, or in the event of her subsequent
death, her beneficiary or beneficiaries, or her estate, as the case may be, as
severance pay or liquidated damages, or both, a sum equal to the greater of: (i)
the payments due for the remaining term of the Agreement; or (ii) three (3)
times Executive's average annual compensation for the five (5) preceding taxable
years that Executive has been employed by the Holding Company or such lesser
number of years in the event that Executive shall have been employed by the
Holding Company for less than five years. Such annual compensation shall include
Base Salary, commissions, bonuses, contributions on behalf of Executive to any
pension and profit sharing plan, severance payments, directors or committee fees
and fringe benefits paid or to be paid to the Executive during such years. At
the election of the Executive, which election is to be made prior to a Change in
Control, such payment may be made in a lump sum. In the event that no election
is made, payment to the Executive will be made on a monthly basis in
approximately equal installments during the remaining term of the Agreement.
Such payments shall not be reduced in the event Executive obtains other
employment following termination of employment.
5
<PAGE>
(d) Upon the Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 5(b),
the Holding Company will cause to be continued life, medical and disability
coverage substantially equivalent to the coverage maintained by the Holding
Company or its Subsidiaries for Executive immediately prior to Executive's
entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 5(b) at no premium cost to Executive
prior to her severance. Such coverage and payments shall cease upon the
expiration of thirty-six (36) months following the Change in Control.
6. CHANGE OF CONTROL RELATED PROVISIONS.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5, in the event that:
(i) the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to
Executive, which are deemed to be parachute payments as defined in
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") or any successor thereof, (the "Termination Benefits") would
be deemed to include an "excess parachute payment" under Section
280G of the Code; and
(ii) if such Termination Benefits were reduced to an amount (the
"Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00)
less than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive's "base
amount," as determined in accordance with said Section 280G and the
Non-Triggering Amount less the product of the marginal rate of any
applicable state and federal income tax and the Non-Triggering
Amount would be greater than the aggregate value of the Termination
Benefits (without such reduction) minus (i) the amount of tax
required to be paid by the Executive thereon by Section 4999 of the
Code and further minus (ii) the product of the Termination Benefits
and the marginal rate of any applicable state and federal income
tax,
then the Termination Benefits shall be reduced to the Non-Triggering Amount. The
allocation of the reduction required hereby among the Termination Benefits shall
be determined by the Executive.
7. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.
The term "Termination for Cause" shall include termination because of
Executive's personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of
fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated
duties, willful violation of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic
violations or similar offenses) or final cease and desist order or material
breach of any provision of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, no act,
or the failure to act, on Executive's part shall be "willful" unless done, or
omitted to be done, not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the
action or omission was in the best interest of the Holding Company or its
Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to
have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered
to her a Notice of Termination which shall include a copy of a resolution duly
adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the members of
the Board at a meeting of the
6
<PAGE>
Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and
an opportunity for her, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board),
finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of
conduct justifying Termination for Cause and specifying the particulars thereof
in detail. The Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or
other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause. During the period
beginning on the date of the Notice of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section
8 hereof through the Date of Termination, stock options and related limited
rights granted to Executive under any stock option plan shall not be exercisable
nor shall any unvested awards granted to Executive under any stock benefit plan
of the Holding Company or its Subsidiaries vest. At the Date of Termination,
such stock options and related limited rights and such unvested awards shall
become null and void and shall not be exercisable by or delivered to Executive
at any time subsequent to such Termination for Cause.
8. NOTICE.
(a) Any purported termination by the Holding Company or by Executive shall
be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes
of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which
shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon
and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of Executive's employment under the provision so
indicated.
(b) "Date of Termination" shall mean the date specified in the Notice of
Termination (which, in the case of a Termination for Cause, shall not be less
than thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
(c) If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given,
the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a
dispute exists concerning the termination, except upon the occurrence of a
Change in Control and voluntary termination by the Executive in which case the
Date of Termination shall be the date specified in the Notice, the Date of
Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is finally determined, either
by mutual written agreement of the parties, by a binding arbitration award, or
by a final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the
time for appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected)
and provided further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice
of dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such
notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Holding Company will
continue to pay Executive her full compensation in effect when the notice giving
rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, Base Salary) and
continue her as a participant in all compensation, benefit and insurance plans
in which he was participating when the notice of dispute was given, until the
dispute is finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement. Amounts paid
under this Section are in addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement
and shall not be offset against or reduce any other amounts due under this
Agreement.
7
<PAGE>
9. POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS.
All payments and benefits to Executive under this Agreement shall be
subject to Executive's compliance with this Section 9 for one (1) full year
after the earlier of the expiration of this Agreement or termination of
Executive's employment with the Holding Company. Executive shall, upon
reasonable notice, furnish such information and assistance to the Holding
Company as may reasonably be required by the Holding Company in connection with
any litigation in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may
become, a party.
10. NON-COMPETITION.
(a) Upon any termination of Executive's employment hereunder pursuant to
Section 4 hereof, Executive agrees not to compete with the Holding Company or
its Subsidiaries for a period of one (1) year following such termination in any
city, town or county in which the Executive's normal business office is located
and the Holding Company or any of its Subsidiaries has an office or has filed an
application for regulatory approval to establish an office, determined as of the
effective date of such termination, except as agreed to pursuant to a resolution
duly adopted by the Board. Executive agrees that during such period and within
said cities, towns and counties, Executive shall not work for or advise, consult
or otherwise serve with, directly or indirectly, any entity whose business
materially competes with the depository, lending or other business activities of
the Holding Company or its Subsidiaries. The parties hereto, recognizing that
irreparable injury will result to the Holding Company or its Subsidiaries, its
business and property in the event of Executive's breach of this Subsection
10(a) agree that in the event of any such breach by Executive, the Holding
Company or its Subsidiaries, will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies
and damages available, to an injunction to restrain the violation hereof by
Executive, Executive's partners, agents, servants, employees and all persons
acting for or under the direction of Executive. Executive represents and admits
that in the event of the termination of her employment pursuant to Section 7
hereof, Executive's experience and capabilities are such that Executive can
obtain employment in a business engaged in other lines and/or of a different
nature than the Holding Company or its Subsidiaries, and that the enforcement of
a remedy by way of injunction will not prevent Executive from earning a
livelihood. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Holding Company
or its Subsidiaries from pursuing any other remedies available to the Holding
Company or its Subsidiaries for such breach or threatened breach, including the
recovery of damages from Executive.
(b) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of the
business activities and plans for business activities of the Holding Company and
its Subsidiaries as it may exist from time to time, is a valuable, special and
unique asset of the business of the Holding Company and its Subsidiaries.
Executive will not, during or after the term of her employment, disclose any
knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the
Holding Company and its Subsidiaries thereof to any person, firm, corporation,
or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever unless expressly authorized
by the Board of Directors or required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Executive may disclose any knowledge of banking, financial and/or economic
principles, concepts or ideas which are not solely and exclusively derived from
the business plans and activities of the Holding Company and its
8
<PAGE>
Subsidiaries. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of
the provisions of this Section, the Holding Company will be entitled to an
injunction restraining Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, the
knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the
Holding Company or its Subsidiaries or from rendering any services to any
person, firm, corporation, or other entity to whom such knowledge, in whole or
in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein
will be construed as prohibiting the Holding Company from pursuing any other
remedies available to the Holding Company for such breach or threatened breach,
including the recovery of damages from Executive.
11. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS.
(a) All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash
or check from the general funds of the Holding Company subject to this Section
11(b).
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent
that payments and benefits, as provided by this Agreement, are paid to or
received by Executive under the Employment Agreement dated ____________, between
Executive and the Institution, such compensation payments and benefits paid by
the Institution will be subtracted from any amount due simultaneously to
Executive under similar provisions of this Agreement. Payments pursuant to this
Agreement and the Institution Agreement shall be allocated in proportion to the
level of activity and the time expended on such activities by the Executive as
determined by the Holding Company and the Institution on a quarterly basis.
12. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFITS PLANS.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties
hereto and supersedes any prior employment agreement between the Holding Company
or any predecessor of the Holding Company and Executive, except that this
Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation
inuring to the Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving
fewer benefits than those available to her without reference to this Agreement.
13. NO ATTACHMENT.
(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution,
attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null,
void, and of no effect.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,
Executive and the Holding Company and their respective successors and assigns.

<PAGE>
14. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.
(a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.
(b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision
of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such
waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver
unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically
waived.
15. SEVERABILITY.
If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any
provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each
such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with
law continue in full force and effect.
16. HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for
convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of
any of the provisions of this Agreement.
17. GOVERNING LAW.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey,
unless otherwise specified herein.
18. ARBITRATION.
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in a location selected by the Executive within
fifty (50) miles from the location of the Holding Company, in accordance with
the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may
be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction; provided,
however, that Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of her
right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any
dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
In the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection
with Executive's termination is resolved in favor of the Executive, whether by
judgment, arbitration or settlement, Executive shall be entitled to the payment
of all back-pay, including salary, bonuses and any
10
<PAGE>
other cash compensation, fringe benefits and any compensation and benefits due
Executive under this Agreement.
19. PAYMENT OF LEGAL FEES.
All reasonable legal fees paid or incurred by Executive pursuant to any
dispute or question of interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be paid
or reimbursed by the Holding Company, if Executive is successful pursuant to a
legal judgment, arbitration or settlement.
20. INDEMNIFICATION.
The Holding Company shall provide Executive (including her heirs,
executors and administrators) with coverage under a standard directors' and
officers' liability insurance policy at its expense, or in lieu thereof, shall
indemnify Executive (and her heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest
extent permitted under New Jersey law against all expenses and liabilities
reasonably incurred by her in connection with or arising out of any action, suit
or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of her having been an
employee of the Holding Company (whether or not he continues to be an employee
at the time of incurring such expenses or liabilities), such expenses and
liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and
attorneys' fees and the cost of reasonable settlements.
21. SUCCESSOR TO THE HOLDING COMPANY.
The Holding Company shall require any successor or assignee, whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or
substantially all the business or assets of the Holding Company, expressly and

Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had
taken place.

WAYNE SAVINGS BANK, F.S.B.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made effective as of ________________, by and among
Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the "Institution"), a federally chartered savings
bank, with its principal administrative office at 1195 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne,
New Jersey, Wayne Bancorp, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the
State of Delaware, the holding company for the Institution (the "Holding
Company"), and Johanna O'Connell ("Executive").
WHEREAS, the Institution wishes to assure itself of the services of
Executive for the period provided in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Executive is willing to serve in the employ of the Institution on
a full-time basis for said period.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereby
agree as follows:
1. POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
During the period of her employment hereunder, Executive agrees to serve
as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Institution. Executive shall
render administrative and management services to the Institution such as are
customarily performed by persons situated in a similar executive capacity and
such duties as are from time to time assigned to her by the Board of Directors.
During said period, Executive also agrees to serve, if appointed, as an officer
of the Holding Company or any subsidiary of the Institution and, if elected,
shall serve as a director of the Institution and the Holding Company; provided
that, Executive shall only serve as a director of the Institution and the
Holding Company so long as the Executive continues to serve full-time as
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Institution and President of the
Holding Company.
2. TERMS AND DUTIES.
(a) The period of Executive's employment under this Agreement shall be
deemed to have commenced as of the date first above written and shall continue
for a period of thirty-six (36) full calendar months thereafter. Commencing on
the first anniversary date of this Agreement, and continuing on each anniversary
thereafter, the disinterested members of the board of directors of the
Institution ("Board") may extend the Agreement for an additional year such that
the remaining term of the Agreement shall be three (3) years unless the
Executive elects not to extend the term of this Agreement by giving written
notice in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. The Board will review the
Agreement and Executive's performance annually for purposes of determining
whether to extend the Agreement and the rationale and results thereof shall be
included in the minutes of the Board's meeting. The Board shall give notice to
the Executive as soon as possible after such review as to whether the Agreement
is to be extended.
<PAGE>
(b) During the period of Executive's employment hereunder, except for
periods of absence occasioned by illness, reasonable vacation periods, and
reasonable leaves of absence, Executive shall devote substantially all her
business time, attention, skill, and efforts to the faithful performance of her
duties hereunder including activities and services related to the organization,
operation and management of the Institution and participation in community and
civic organizations; provided, however, that, with the approval of the Board, as
evidenced by a resolution of such Board, from time to time, Executive may serve,
or continue to serve, on the boards of directors of, and hold any other offices
or positions in, companies or organizations, which, in such Board's judgment,
will not present any conflict of interest with the Institution, or materially
affect the performance of Executive's duties pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive's
employment with the Institution may be terminated by the Institution or the
Executive during the term of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.
3. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.
(a) The Institution shall pay Executive as compensation a salary of not
less than $125,000 per year ("Base Salary"). Base Salary shall include any
amounts of compensation deferred by Executive under any qualified or unqualified
plan maintained by the Institution. Such Base Salary shall be payable bi-weekly.
During the period of this Agreement, Executive's Base Salary shall be reviewed
at least annually; the first such review will be made no later than one year
from the date of this Agreement. Such review shall be conducted by the Board or
by a Committee of the Board, delegated such responsibility by the Board. The
Board may by resolution increase Executive's Base Salary. Any increase in Base
Salary shall become the "Base Salary" for purposes of this Agreement. In
addition to the Base Salary provided in this Section 3(a), the Institution shall
also provide Executive, at no premium cost to Executive, with all such other
benefits as are provided uniformly to permanent full-time employees of the
Institution.
(b) The Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit
plans, arrangements and perquisites substantially equivalent to those in which
Executive was participating or otherwise deriving benefit from immediately prior
to the beginning of the term of this Agreement, and the Institution will not,
without Executive's prior written consent, make any changes in such plans,
arrangements or perquisites which would materially adversely affect Executive's
rights or benefits thereunder; except to the extent such changes are made
applicable to all Institution employees on a non-discriminatory basis. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Subsection (b),
Executive shall be entitled to participate in or receive benefits under any
employee benefit plans including but not limited to, retirement plans,
supplemental retirement plans, pension plans, profit-sharing plans,
health-and-accident plans, medical coverage or any other employee benefit plan
or arrangement made available by the Institution in the future to its senior
executives and key management employees, subject to and on a basis consistent
with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and
arrangements. Executive shall be entitled to incentive compensation and bonuses
as provided in any plan of the Institution in which Executive is eligible to
participate. Nothing paid to the
2
<PAGE>
Executive under any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of
other compensation to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement.
(c) In addition to the Base Salary provided for by paragraph (a) of this
Section 3 and other compensation provided for by paragraph (b) of this Section
3, the Institution shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable travel
and other reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of Executive's
obligations under this Agreement and may provide such additional compensation in
such form and such amounts as the Board may from time to time determine.
4. PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination (as herein defined)
during the Executive's term of employment under this Agreement, the provisions
of this Section shall apply. As used in this Agreement, an "Event of
Termination" shall mean and include any one or more of the following: (i) the
termination by the Institution or the Holding Company of Executive's full-time
employment hereunder for any reason other than a termination governed by Section
5(a) hereof, or Termination for Cause, as defined in Section 7 hereof; (ii)
Executive's resignation from the Institution's employ upon any (A) failure to
elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint Executive as President and Chief
Executive Officer, unless consented to by the Executive, (B) a material change
in Executive's function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause
Executive's position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or
scope from the position and attributes thereof described in Section 1, above,
coupled with a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites being provided
to Executive immediately preceding the change in Executive's functions, duties
or responsibilities, unless consented to by Executive, (C) a relocation of
Executive's principal place of employment by more than 15 miles from its
location at the effective date of this Agreement, unless consented to by the
Executive, (D) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the
Executive from those being provided as of the effective date of this Agreement,
unless consented to by the Executive, or (E) a liquidation or dissolution of the
Institution or Holding Company, or (F) breach of this Agreement by the
Institution or Holding Company. Upon the occurrence of any event described in
clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) or (F), above, Executive shall have the right to
elect to terminate her employment under this Agreement by resignation upon not
less than sixty (60) days prior written notice given within six full months
after the event giving rise to said right to elect.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, on the Date of
Termination, as defined in Section 8, the Institution shall be obligated to pay
Executive, or, in the event of her subsequent death, her beneficiary or
beneficiaries, or her estate, as the case may be, an amount equal to the sum of:
(i) the amount of the remaining payments that the Executive would have earned if
she had continued her employment with the Institution during the remaining term
of this Agreement at the Executive's Base Salary at the Date of Termination; and
(ii) the amount equal to the annual contributions that would have been made on
Executive's behalf to any employee benefit plans of the Institution or the
Holding Company during the remaining term of this Agreement based on
contributions made (on an annualized basis) at the Date of Termination;
provided, however, that any payments pursuant to this subsection and subsection
4(c) below shall not, in the aggregate, exceed three times Executive's average
annual compensation for the five
3
<PAGE>
most recent taxable years that Executive has been employed by the Institution or
such lesser number of years in the event that Executive shall have been employed
by the Institution for less than five years. In the event the Institution is not
in compliance with its minimum capital requirements or if such payments pursuant
to this subsection (b) would cause the Institution's capital to be reduced below
its minimum regulatory capital requirements, such payments shall be deferred
until such time as the Institution or successor thereto is in capital
compliance. At the election of the Executive, which election is to be made prior
to an Event of Termination, such payments shall be made in a lump sum as of the
Executive's Date of Termination. In the event that no election is made, payment
to Executive will be made on a monthly basis in approximately equal installments
during the remaining term of the Agreement. Such payments shall not be reduced
in the event the Executive obtains other employment following termination of
employment.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Institution will
cause to be continued life, medical and disability coverage substantially
identical to the coverage maintained by the Institution or the Holding Company
for Executive prior to her termination at no premium cost to the Executive,
except to the extent such coverage may be changed in its application to all
Institution or Holding Company employees. Such coverage shall cease upon the
expiration of the remaining term of this Agreement.
5. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" of the
Institution or Holding Company shall mean an event of a nature that: (i) would
be required to be reported in response to Item 1 of the current report on Form
8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); or (ii)
results in a Change in Control of the Institution or the Holding Company within
the meaning of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") (or its predecessor agency), as in effect on the date
hereof (provided, that in applying the definition of change in control as set
forth under the rules and regulations of the OTS, the Board shall substitute its
judgment for that of the OTS); or (iii) without limitation such a Change in
Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (A) any "person" (as
the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes
the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of voting securities of the Institution or the Holding
Company representing 25% or more of the Institution's or the Holding Company's
outstanding voting securities or right to acquire such securities except for any
voting securities of the Institution purchased by the Holding Company and any
voting securities purchased by any employee benefit plan of the Institution or
the Holding Company, or (B) individuals who constitute the Board on the date
hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the
date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of
the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election
by the Holding Company's stockholders was approved by the same Nominating
Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this
clause (B), considered as though he were
4
<PAGE>
a member of the Incumbent Board, or (C) a plan of reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Institution or
the Holding Company or similar transaction occurs in which the Institution or
Holding Company is not the resulting entity; provided, however, that such an
event listed above will be deemed to have occurred or to have been effectuated
upon the receipt of all required regulatory approvals not including the lapse of
any statutory waiting periods.
(b) If a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to Section 5(a) or the
Board has determined that a Change in Control has occurred, Executive shall be
entitled to the benefits provided in paragraphs (c), and (d) of this Section 5
upon her subsequent termination of employment at any time during the term of
this Agreement due to: (1) Executive's dismissal or (2) Executive's voluntary
resignation following any demotion, loss of title, office or significant
authority or responsibility, coupled with a reduction in the compensation and
benefits being received by Executive immediately preceding the change in
Executive's functions, duties or responsibilities, or any material reduction in
annual compensation or benefits or relocation of her principal place of
employment by more than 15 miles from its location immediately prior to the
Change in Control, unless such termination is because of her death, disability,
retirement or termination for Cause.
(c) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 5(b), the
Institution shall pay Executive, or in the event of her subsequent death, her
beneficiary or beneficiaries, or her estate, as the case may be, a sum equal to
the greater of: (1) the payments due for the remaining term of the Agreement; or
(2) three (3) times Executive's average annual compensation for the five (5)
most recent taxable years that Executive has been employed by the Institution or
such lesser number of years in the event that Executive shall have been employed
by the Institution for less than five (5) years. Such average annual
compensation shall include Base Salary, commissions, bonuses, contributions on
Executive's behalf to any pension and/or profit sharing plan, severance
payments, retirement payments, directors or committee fees, fringe benefits paid
or to be paid to the Executive in any such year, and payment of any expense
items without accountability or business purpose or that do not meet the
Internal Revenue Service requirements for deductibility by the Institution;
provided however, that any payment under this provision and subsection 5(d)
below shall not exceed three (3) times the Executive's average annual
compensation. In the event the Institution is not in compliance with its minimum
capital requirements or if such payments would cause the Institution's capital
to be reduced below its minimum regulatory capital requirements, such payments
shall be deferred until such time as the Institution or successor thereto is in
capital compliance. At the election of the Executive, which election is to be
made prior to a Change in Control, such payment may be made in a lump sum as of
the Executive's Date of Termination. In the event that no election is made,
payment to the Executive will be made in approximately equal installments on a
monthly basis over a period of thirty-six (36) months following the Executive's
termination. Such payments shall not be reduced in the event Executive obtains
other employment following termination of employment.
(d) Upon the Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 5(b),
the Institution will cause to be continued life, medical and disability coverage
substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Institution for
Executive prior to her severance at no premium
5
<PAGE>
cost to the Executive, except to the extent that such coverage may be changed in
its application for all Institution employees on a non-discriminatory basis.
Such coverage and payments shall cease upon the expiration of thirty-six (36)
months following the Date of Termination.
6. CHANGE OF CONTROL RELATED PROVISIONS
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5, in no event shall the
aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive under said
paragraphs (the "Termination Benefits") constitute an "excess parachute payment"
under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto, and in order to avoid
such a result, Termination Benefits will be reduced, if necessary, to an amount
(the "Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less
than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive's "base amount", as determined
in accordance with said Section 280G. The allocation of the reduction required
hereby among the Termination Benefits provided by Section 5 shall be determined
by Executive.
7. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.
The term "Termination for Cause" shall include termination because of
Executive's personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of
fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated
duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic
violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order or material
breach of any provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Executive shall not be deemed to have been Terminated for Cause unless and until
there shall have been delivered to her a Notice of Termination which shall
include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less
than a majority of the members of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and
held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity
for her, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in
the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of conduct justifying
Termination for Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. The
Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for
any period after Date of Termination for Cause. During the period beginning on
the date of the Notice of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 8 hereof
through the Date of Termination for Cause, stock options and related limited
rights granted to Executive under any stock option plan shall not be exercisable
nor shall any unvested awards granted to Executive under any stock benefit plan
of the Institution, the Holding Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof,
vest. At the Date of Termination for Cause, such stock options and related
limited rights and such unvested awards shall become null and void and shall not
be exercisable by or delivered to Executive at any time subsequent to such
Termination for Cause.
8. NOTICE.
(a) Any purported termination by the Institution or by Executive shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of
this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which
shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon
and shall set forth in reasonable
6
<PAGE>
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
Executive's employment under the provision so indicated.
(b) "Date of Termination" shall mean the date specified in the Notice of
Termination (which, in the case of a Termination for Cause, shall not be less
than thirty days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
(c) If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given,
the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a
dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written
agreement of the parties, by a binding arbitration award, or by a final
judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for
appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected) and
provided further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of
dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such
notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, in the event the Executive is
terminated for reasons other than Termination for Cause, the Institution will
continue to pay Executive her Base Salary in effect when the notice giving rise
to the dispute was given until the earlier of: (1) the resolution of the dispute
in accordance with this Agreement or (2) the expiration of the remaining term of
this Agreement as determined as of the Date of Termination. Amounts paid under
this Section are in addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement and
shall not be offset against or reduce any other amounts due under this
Agreement.
9. POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS.
All payments and benefits to Executive under this Agreement shall be
subject to Executive's compliance with this Section 9 for one (1) full year
after the earlier of the expiration of this Agreement or termination of
Executive's employment with the Institution. Executive shall, upon reasonable
notice, furnish such information and assistance to the Institution as may
reasonably be required by the Institution in connection with any litigation in
which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may become, a party.
10. NON-COMPETITION.
(a) Upon any termination of Executive's employment hereunder pursuant to
Section 4 hereof, Executive agrees not to compete with the Institution for a
period of one (1) year following such termination in any city, town or county in
which the Executive's normal business office is located and the Institution has
an office or has filed an application for regulatory approval to establish an
office, determined as of the effective date of such termination, except as
agreed to pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board. Executive agrees
that during such period and within said cities, towns and counties, Executive
shall not work for or advise, consult or otherwise serve with, directly or
indirectly, any entity whose business materially competes with the depository,
lending or other business activities of the Institution. The parties hereto,
recognizing that irreparable injury will result to the Institution, its business
and property in the event of Executive's breach of this Subsection 10(a) agree
that in the event of any such
7
<PAGE>
breach by Executive, the Institution will be entitled, in addition to any other
remedies and damages available, to an injunction to restrain the violation
hereof by Executive, Executive's partners, agents, servants, employees and all
persons acting for or under the direction of Executive. Nothing herein will be
construed as prohibiting the Institution from pursuing any other remedies
available to the Institution for such breach or threatened breach, including the
recovery of damages from Executive.
(b) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of the
business activities and plans for business activities of the Institution and
affiliates thereof, as it may exist from time to time, is a valuable, special
and unique asset of the business of the Institution. Executive will not, during
or after the term of her employment, disclose any knowledge of the past,
present, planned or considered business activities of the Institution or
affiliates thereof to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity for any
reason or purpose whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may
disclose any knowledge of banking, financial and/or economic principles,
concepts or ideas which are not solely and exclusively derived from the business
plans and activities of the Institution. Further, Executive may disclose
information regarding the business activities of the Institution to the OTS and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") pursuant to a formal
regulatory request. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive
of the provisions of this Section, the Institution will be entitled to an
injunction restraining Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, the
knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the
Institution or affiliates thereof, or from rendering any services to any person,
firm, corporation, or other entity to whom such knowledge, in whole or in part,
has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein will be
construed as prohibiting the Institution from pursuing any other remedies
available to the Institution for such breach or threatened breach, including the
recovery of damages from Executive.
11. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS.
(a) All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash
or check from the general funds of the Institution. The Holding Company,
however, unconditionally guarantees payment and provision of all amounts and
benefits due hereunder to Executive and, if such amounts and benefits due from
the Institution are not timely paid or provided by the Institution, such amounts
and benefits shall be paid or provided by the Holding Company.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent
that payments and benefits, as provided by this Agreement, are paid to or
received by Executive under the Employment Agreement dated __________, 1996,
between Executive and the Holding Company, such compensation payments and
benefits paid by the Holding Company will be subtracted from any amounts due
simultaneously to Executive under similar provisions of this Agreement. Payments
pursuant to this Agreement and the Holding Company Agreement shall be allocated
in proportion to the services rendered and time expended on such activities by
Executive as determined by the Holding Company and the Institution on a
quarterly basis.

<PAGE>
12. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFITS PLANS.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties
hereto and supersedes any prior employment agreement between the Institution or
any predecessor of the Institution and Executive, except that this Agreement
shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to
Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than
those available to her without reference to this Agreement.
13. NO ATTACHMENT.
(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution,
attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null,
void, and of no effect.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,
Executive and the Institution and their respective successors and assigns.
14. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.
(a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.
(b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision
of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such
waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver
unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically
waived.
15. REQUIRED PROVISIONS.
(a) The Institution may terminate Executive's employment at any time, but
any termination by the Institution, other than Termination for Cause, shall not
prejudice Executive's right to compensation or other benefits under this
Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other
benefits for any period after Termination for Cause as defined in Section 7
hereinabove.
(b) If Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Institution's affairs by a notice
served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12
U.S.C. ss.1818(e)(3) or (g)(1), the Institution's obligations under this
contract shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the
Institution may in its
9
<PAGE>
discretion: (i) pay Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while
their contract obligations were suspended; and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in
part) any of the obligations which were suspended.
(c) If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Institution's affairs by an order issued
under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C.
ss.1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Institution under this contract
shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the
contracting parties shall not be affected.
(d) If the Institution is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. ss.1813(x)(1) all obligations of the
Institution under this contract shall terminate as of the date of default, but
this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties.
(e) All obligations of the Institution under this contract shall be
terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of the contract is
necessary for the continued operation of the institution: (i) by the Director of
the OTS (or her designee), or the FDIC at the time the FDIC enters into an
agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Institution under the
authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12
U.S.C. ss.1823(c); or (ii) by the Director of the OTS (or her designee) at the
time the Director (or her designee) approves a supervisory merger to resolve
problems related to the operations of the Institution or when the Institution is
determined by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights
of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such
action.
(f) Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or
otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C.
ss.1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. ss.545.121 and any rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
16. REINSTATEMENT OF BENEFITS UNDER SECTION 15(b).
In the event Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Institution's affairs by a notice described
in Section 15(b) hereof (the "Notice") during the term of this Agreement and a
Change in Control, as defined herein, occurs, the Holding Company will assume
its obligation to pay and Executive will be entitled to receive all of the
termination benefits provided for under Section 5 of this Agreement upon the
Holding Company's receipt of a dismissal of charges in the Notice.
17. SEVERABILITY.
If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any
provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision

WAYNE SAVINGS BANK, F.S.B.
CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made effective as of ______________, 1997 by and between
Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the "Institution"), a federally chartered savings
bank, with its principal administrative office at 1195 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne,
New Jersey, Michael G. DeBenedette ("Executive"), and Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Holding Company"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware which is the holding company of the Institution.
WHEREAS, the Institution recognizes the substantial contribution Executive
has made to the Institution and wishes to protect Executive's position therewith
for the period provided in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Executive has agreed to serve in the employ of the Institution.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the contribution and responsibilities
of Executive, and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. TERM OF AGREEMENT.
The term of the Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B. Change in Control Agreement (the
"Agreement") shall be deemed to have commenced as of the date first above
written and shall continue for a period of twenty-four (24) full calendar months
thereafter. Commencing on the first anniversary date of this Agreement and
continuing at each anniversary date thereafter, the Board of Directors of the
Institution ("Board") may extend the Agreement for an additional year such that
the remaining term of the Agreement shall be two years unless the Executive
elects not to extend the term of this Agreement by giving written notice in
accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Board will review the Agreement
and Executive's performance annually for purposes of determining whether to
extend the Agreement, and the rationale and results thereof shall be included in
the minutes of the Board's meeting. The Board shall give notice to the Executive
as soon as possible after such review as to whether the Agreement is to be
extended.
2. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" of the
Institution or Holding Company shall mean an event of a nature that: (i) would
be required to be reported in response to Item 1 of the Current Report on Form
8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); or (ii)
results in a Change in Control of the Institution or the Holding Company within
the meaning of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") (or its predecessor agency), as in effect on the date
hereof (provided, that in applying the definition of
<PAGE>
change in control as set forth under the rules and regulations of the OTS, the
Board shall substitute its judgment for that of the OTS); or (iii) without
limitation such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such
time as (A) any "person" (as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Institution or the Holding Company representing 25% or more of the Institution's
or the Holding Company's outstanding voting securities or right to acquire such
securities except for any voting securities of the Institution purchased by the
Holding Company and any voting securities purchased by any employee benefit plan
of the Institution or the Holding Company, or (B) individuals who constitute the
Board on the date hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of
at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or
whose nomination for election by the Holding Company's stockholders was approved
by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for
purposes of this clause (B), considered as though he were a member of the
Incumbent Board, or (C) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of
all or substantially all the assets of the Institution or the Holding Company or
similar transaction occurs in which the Institution or Holding Company is not
the resulting entity; provided, however, that such an event will be deemed to
have occurred or to have been effectuated upon the receipt of all required
regulatory approvals not including the lapse of any statutory waiting periods.
(b) If a Change in Control of the Institution or the Holding Company has
occurred pursuant to Section 2(a) or the Board has determined that a Change in
Control has occurred, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in
Section 3 herein upon his subsequent termination of employment at any time
during the term of this Agreement due to: (1) Executive's dismissal or (2)
Executive's voluntary resignation following any demotion, loss of title, office
or significant authority, coupled with a reduction in the compensation and
benefits being received by Executive immediately preceding the change in
Executive's functions, duties or responsibilities, or any material reduction in
annual compensation or benefits, or relocation of his principal place of
employment by more than 15 miles from its location immediately prior to the
Change in Control unless such termination is because of death or Termination for
Cause as defined in paragraph (c).
(c) Executive shall not have the right to receive termination benefits
pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon Termination for Cause. The term "Termination
for Cause" shall include termination because of Executive's personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving
personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation
of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar
offenses) or final cease and desist order, or material breach of any provision
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed
to have been Terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been
delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of
not less than a majority of the Board of Directors of the Institution at a
meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice
to Executive and an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be heard
before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board,
Executive was guilty of conduct justifying Termination for
2
<PAGE>
Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. The Executive shall not
have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after
the Date of Termination for Cause. During the period beginning on the date of
the Notice of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 4 hereof through the
Date of Termination for Cause, stock options and related limited rights granted
to Executive under any stock option plan shall not be exercisable nor shall any
unvested awards granted to Executive under any stock benefit plan of the
Institution, the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof vest. At the
Date of Termination for Cause, such stock options and related limited rights
shall become null and void and shall not be exercisable by or delivered to
Executive at any time subsequent to such Termination for Cause.
3. TERMINATION BENEFITS.
(a) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b), the
Institution shall pay Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his
beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a sum equal to
the greater of: (1) the payments due for the remaining term of the Agreement; or
(2) two (2) times Executive's average annual compensation for the five (5) most
recent taxable years that Executive has been employed by the Institution or such
lesser number of years in the event that Executive shall have been employed by
the Institution for less than five years. Such average annual compensation shall
include salary, commissions, contributions on Executive's behalf to any pension
and/or profit sharing plan, severance payments, retirement payments, directors
or committee fees, fringe benefits paid or to be paid to the Executive in any
such year, and payment of any expense items without accountability or business
purpose or that do not meet the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") requirements
for deducibility by the Institution: provided, however, that any payment under
this provision and subsection 3(b) below shall not exceed three (3) times the
Executive's average annual compensation. In the event the Institution is not in
compliance with its minimum capital requirements or if such payments would cause
the Institution's capital to be reduced below its minimum regulatory capital
requirements, such payments shall be deferred until such time as the Institution
or successor thereto is in capital compliance. At the election of Executive such
payment may be made in a lump sum as of the Executive's Date of Termination. In
the event that no election is made, payment to Executive will be made on a
monthly basis in approximately equal installments over a period of twenty-four
(24) months following Executive's termination.
(b) Upon the Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b),
the Institution shall cause to be continued life, medical, dental, and
disability coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the
Institution for Executive prior to his severance, except to the extent such
coverage may be changed in its application to all Institution employees on a
nondiscriminatory basis. Such coverage and payments shall cease upon the
expiration of twenty-four (24) full calendar months from the Date of
Termination.
(c) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3, in no event
shall the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive
under said paragraphs (the "Termination Benefits") constitute an "excess
parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto, and
in order to avoid such a result Termination Benefits will be reduced, if
necessary, to an amount (the "Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one
3
<PAGE>
dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive's "base
amount," as determined in accordance with said Section 280G. The allocation of
the reduction required hereby among the Termination Benefits provided by the
preceding paragraphs of this Section 3 shall be determined by Executive.
4. NOTICE OF TERMINATION.
(a) Any purported termination by the Institution or by Executive in
connection with a Change in Control shall be communicated by Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice
of Termination" shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of Executive's employment under the provision so indicated.
(b) "Date of Termination" shall mean the date specified in the Notice of
Termination (which, in the instance of Termination for Cause, shall not be less
than thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
(c) If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given,
the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a
dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written
agreement of the parties, by a binding arbitration award, or by a final
judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for
appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected) and
provided further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of
dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such
notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, in the event the Executive is
terminated for reasons other than Termination for Cause, the Institution will
continue to pay Executive his full compensation in effect when the notice giving
rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to his annual salary)
until the earlier of: (1) the resolution of the dispute in accordance with this
Agreement or (2) the expiration of the remaining term of this Agreement as
determined as of the Date of Termination. Amounts paid under this Section are in
addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement and shall not be offset
against or reduce any other amount due under this Agreement.
5. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS.
(a) All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or
check from the general funds of the Institution. The Holding Company, however,
unconditionally guarantees payment and provision of all amounts and benefits due
hereunder to Executive and, if such amounts and benefits due from the
Institution are not timely paid or provided by the Institution, such amounts and
benefits shall be paid or provided by the Holding Company.
4
<PAGE>
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent
that payments and benefits, as provided by this Agreement, are paid to or
received by Executive under the Employment Agreement dated October __, 1996,
between Executive and the Holding Company, such compensation payments and
benefits paid by the Holding Company will be subtracted from any amount due
simultaneously to Executive under similar provisions of this Agreement. Payments
pursuant to this Agreement and the Holding Company Agreement shall be allocated
in proportion to the services rendered and time expended on such activities by
Executive as determined by the Holding Company and the Institution on a
quarterly basis.
6. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFIT PLANS.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto
and supersedes any prior agreement between the Institution and Executive, except
that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or
compensation inuring to Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of
this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to
receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this
Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Executive the right to continue
in the employ of Institution or shall impose on the Institution any obligation
to employ or retain Executive in its employ for any period.
7. NO ATTACHMENT.
(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution,
attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null,
void, and of no effect.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,
Executive, the Institution and their respective successors and assigns.
8. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.
(a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.
(b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision
of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such
waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver
unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that
specifically waived.
5
<PAGE>
9. REQUIRED REGULATORY PROVISIONS.
(a) The board of directors may terminate Executive's employment at any
time, but any termination by the board of directors, other than Termination for
Cause, shall not prejudice Executive's right to compensation or other benefits
under this Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation
or other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause as defined in
Section 2 hereinabove.
(b) If Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Institution's affairs by a notice
served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
12 U.S.C. ss.1818(e)(3) or (g)(1), the Institution's obligations under this
contract shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the
Institution may in its discretion (i) pay Executive all or part of the
compensation withheld while their contract obligations were suspended and (ii)
reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended.
(c) If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Institution's affairs by an order issued
under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C.
ss.1818(c)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Institution under this contract
shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the
contracting parties shall not be affected.
(d) If the Institution is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. ss.1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all
obligations of the Institution under this contract shall terminate as of the
date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the
contracting parties.
(e) All obligations under this contract shall be terminated, except to the
extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for the
continued operation of the institution: (i) by the Director of the Office of
Thrift Supervision (or his or her designee) at the time the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or the Resolution Trust Corporation enters into an
agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Institution under the
authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
12 U.S.C. ss.1823(c); or (ii) by the Director of the Office of Thrift
Supervision (or his or her designee) at the time the Director (or his or her
designee) approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operation
of the Institution or when the Institution is determined by the Director to be
in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already
vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.
(f) Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or
otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C.
ss.1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. ss.545.121 and any rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.

<PAGE>
10. REINSTATEMENT OF BENEFITS UNDER SECTION 4.
In the event Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Institution's affairs by a notice described
in Section 4 hereof (the "Notice") during the term of this Agreement and a
Change in Control, as defined herein, occurs, the Company will assume its
obligation to pay and Executive will be entitled to receive all of the
termination benefits provided for under Section 3 of this Agreement upon the
Company's receipt of a dismissal of charges in the Notice.
11. SEVERABILITY.
If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any
provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each
such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with
law continue in full force and effect.
12. HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for
convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of
any of the provisions of this Agreement.
13. GOVERNING LAW.
The validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey but only to
the extent not preempted by Federal law.
14. ARBITRATION.
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in a location selected by Executive within fifty
(50) miles from the location of the Institution, in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on
the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that
Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid
until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
In the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with
Executive's termination is resolved in favor of Executive, whether by judgment,
arbitration or settlement, Executive shall be entitled to the payment of all
back-pay, including salary, bonuses and any other cash compensation, fringe
benefits and any compensation and benefits due Executive under this Agreement.

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made effective as of_______________, 1997, by and between
Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company"), a corporation organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware, with its office at 1195 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne,
New Jersey, and Michael G. DeBenedette ("Executive"). The term "Institution"
refers to Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B., the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding
Company or any successor thereto.
WHEREAS, the Holding Company recognizes the substantial contribution
Executive has made to the Holding Company and wishes to protect his position
therewith for the period provided in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Executive has agreed to serve in the employ of the Holding Company
or an affiliate thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the contribution and responsibilities
of Executive, and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. TERM OF AGREEMENT.
The term of this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced as of the date
first above written and shall continue for a period of twenty-four (24) full
calendar months thereafter. Commencing on the date of execution of this
Agreement the term of this Agreement shall be extended for one day each day
until such time as the board of directors of the Holding Company (the "Board")
or Executive elects not to extend the term of the Agreement by giving written
notice to the other party in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, in
which case the term of this Agreement shall be fixed and shall end on the second
anniversary of the date of such written notice.
2. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" of the
Institution or Holding Company shall mean an event of a nature that: (i) would
be required to be reported in response to Item 1(a) of the Current Report on
Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"); or (ii)
results in a Change in Control of the Institution or the Holding Company within
the meaning of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Office
of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") (or its predecessor agency), as in effect on the
date hereof (provided, that in applying the definition of change in control as
set forth under the rules and regulations of the OTS, the Board shall substitute
its judgment for that of the OTS); or (iii) without limitation such a Change in
Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (A) any "person" (as
the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes
the "beneficial owner" (as
<PAGE>
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Institution or the Holding Company representing 20% or more of
the Institution's or the Holding Company's outstanding voting securities or
right to acquire such securities except for any voting securities of the
Institution purchased by the Holding Company and any securities purchased by any
employee benefit plan of the Institution, or (B) individuals who constitute the
Board on the date hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of
at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or
whose nomination for election by the Holding Company's stockholders was approved
by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for
purposes of this clause (B), considered as though he were a member of the
Incumbent Board, or (C) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of
all or substantially all the assets of the Institution or the Holding Company or
similar transaction occurs in which the Institution or Holding Company is not
the resulting entity; provided, however, that such an event will be deemed to
have occurred or to have been effectuated upon the receipt of all required
regulatory approvals not including the lapse of any statutory waiting periods;
or (D) a proxy statement is distributed soliciting proxies from stockholders of
the Holding Company, by someone other than the current management of the Holding
Company, seeking stockholder approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or
consolidation of the Holding Company or Institution with one or more
corporations as a result of which the outstanding shares of the class of
securities then subject to such plan or transaction are exchanged for or
converted into cash or property or securities not issued by the Institution or
the Holding Company shall be distributed, or (E) a tender offer is made for 20%
or more of the voting securities of the Institution or Holding Company then
outstanding.
(b) If a Change in Control of the Holding Company has occurred pursuant to
Section 2(a) or the Board has determined that a Change in Control has occurred,
Executive shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 3 herein upon
his subsequent termination of employment at any time during the term of this
Agreement due to (1) Executive's dismissal or (2) Executive's voluntary
resignation following any demotion, loss of title, office or significant
authority, coupled with a reduction in the compensation and benefits being
received by Executive immediately preceding the change in Executive's functions,
duties or responsibilities, or any material reduction in his annual compensation
or benefits, or relocation of his principal place of employment by more than 15
miles from its location immediately prior to the Change in Control unless such
termination is because of death or Termination for Cause as defined in paragraph
(c).
(c) Executive shall not have the right to receive termination benefits
pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon Termination for Cause. The term "Termination
for Cause" shall include termination because of Executive's personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving
personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation
of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses)
or final cease and desist order, or any material breach of this Agreement. For
purposes of this Section, no act, or the failure to act, on Executive's part
shall be "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, not in good faith and
without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interest
of the Holding Company or its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Executive shall not be deemed to have been Terminated for Cause unless and until
there shall have been

delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of
not less than three-fourths of the members of the Board at a meeting of the
Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and
an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board),
finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of
conduct justifying Termination for Cause and specifying the particulars thereof
in detail. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other
benefits for any period after Termination for Cause. During the period beginning
on the date of the Notice of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 4 hereof
through the Date of Termination, stock options and related limited rights
granted to Executive under any stock option plan shall not be exercisable nor
shall any unvested awards granted to Executive under any stock benefit plan of
the Institution, the Holding Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof,
vest. At the Date of Termination, such stock options and related limited rights
and such unvested awards shall become null and void and shall not be exercisable
by or delivered to Executive at any time subsequent to such Date of Termination
for Cause.
3. TERMINATION BENEFITS.
(a) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b), the
Holding Company shall pay Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death,
his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a sum equal
to the greater of (1) the payments due for the remaining term of the Agreement
and (2) two (2) times Executive's average annual compensation for the two
preceding taxable years that Executive has been employed by the Holding Company
or such lesser number of years in the event that Executive shall have been
employed by the Holding Company for less than two (2) years. Such annual
compensation shall include salary, commissions, bonuses contributions on behalf
of Executive to any pension and profit sharing plan, severance payments,
directors or committee fees and fringe benefits paid or to be paid to the
Executive during such year. At the election of Executive, which election is to
be made prior to a Change in Control, such payment shall be made in a lump sum.
In the event that no election is made, payment to Executive will be made on a
monthly basis in approximately equal installments over a period of twenty-four
(24) months following Executive's termination.
(b) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b) the
Holding Company shall cause to be continued life, medical, dental and disability
coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Holding
Company or the Institution for Executive prior to his severance, except to the
extent such coverage may be changed in its application to all Institution
employees. Such coverage and payments shall cease upon expiration of twenty-four
(24) full calendar months following the Date of Termination.
(c) Notwithstanding the paragraphs of Section 3, in the event that:
(i) the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to
Executive, which are deemed to be parachute payments as defined
in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") or any successor thereof, (the "Termination
Benefits") would be deemed to include an "excess parachute
payment" under Section 280G of the Code; and
3
<PAGE>
(ii) if such Termination Benefits were reduced to an amount (the
"Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar
($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive's
"base amount," as determined in accordance with said Section 280G
and the Non-Triggering Amount less the product of the marginal
rate of any applicable state and federal income tax and the
Non-Triggering Amount would be greater than the aggregate value
of the Termination Benefits (excluding such reduction) minus (i)
the amount of tax required to be paid by the Executive thereon by
Section 4999 of the Code and further minus (ii) the product of
the Termination Benefits and the marginal rate of any applicable
state and federal income tax.
then the Termination Benefits shall be reduced to the Non-Triggering
Amount. The allocation of the reduction required hereby among the Termination
Benefits shall be determined by the Executive.
4. NOTICE OF TERMINATION.
(a) Any purported termination by the Holding Company, or by Executive shall
be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes
of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which
shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon
and shall set forth in detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for termination of Executive's employment under the provision so
indicated.
(b) "Date of Termination" shall mean the date specified in the Notice of
Termination (which, in the case of Termination for Cause, shall not be less than
thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
(c) If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given,
the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a
dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written
agreement of the parties, by a binding arbitration award, or by a final
judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for
appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected) and
provided further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of
dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such
notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Holding Company will
continue to pay Executive his full compensation in effect when the notice giving
rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to his current annual
salary) until the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement.
Amounts paid under this Section 4(c) are in addition to all other amounts due
under this Agreement and shall not be offset against or reduce any other amounts
due under this Agreement.

<PAGE>
5. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS.
(a) All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or
check from the general funds of the Holding Company subject to this Section
5(b).
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent
that payments and benefits, as provided by this Agreement, are paid to or
received by Executive under the Employment Agreement dated ______________,
between Executive and the Institution, such compensation payments and benefits
paid by the Institution will be subtracted from any amount due simultaneously to
Executive under similar provisions of this Agreement. Payments pursuant to this
Agreement and the Institution Agreement shall be allocated in proportion to the
level of activity and the time expended on such activities by the Executive as
determined by the Holding Company and the Institution on a quarterly basis.
6. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFIT PLANS.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto
and supersedes any prior agreement between the Holding Company or any
predecessor of the Holding Company and Executive, except that this Agreement
shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to
Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than
those available to him without reference to this Agreement.
7. NO ATTACHMENT.
(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution,
attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null,
void, and of no effect.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,
Executive, the Holding Company and their respective successors and assigns.
8. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.
(a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.
(b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision
of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such
waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver
unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that
specifically waived.

9. SEVERABILITY.
If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any
provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each
such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with
law continue in full force and effect.
10. HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for
convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of
any of the provisions of this Agreement.
11. GOVERNING LAW.
The validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey.
12. ARBITRATION.
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in a location selected by Executive within fifty
(50) miles from the location of the Institution, in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on
the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that
Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid
until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
13. PAYMENT OF LEGAL FEES.
All reasonable legal fees paid or incurred by Executive pursuant to any

liability insurance policy at its expense, or in lieu thereof, shall indemnify
Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent
permitted under Delaware law and as provided in the Holding Company's

such expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments,

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made effective as of_________________, 1997, by and
between Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company"), a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its office at 1195 Hamburg
Turnpike, Wayne, New Jersey, and Timothy P. Tierney ("Executive"). The term
"Institution" refers to Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B., the wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Holding Company or any successor thereto.
WHEREAS, the Holding Company recognizes the substantial contribution
Executive has made to the Holding Company and wishes to protect his position
therewith for the period provided in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Executive has agreed to serve in the employ of the Holding Company
or an affiliate thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the contribution and responsibilities
of Executive, and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. TERM OF AGREEMENT.
The term of this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced as of the date
first above written and shall continue for a period of twenty-four (24) full
calendar months thereafter. Commencing on the date of execution of this
Agreement the term of this Agreement shall be extended for one day each day
until such time as the board of directors of the Holding Company (the "Board")
or Executive elects not to extend the term of the Agreement by giving written
notice to the other party in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, in
which case the term of this Agreement shall be fixed and shall end on the second
anniversary of the date of such written notice.
2. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" of the
Institution or Holding Company shall mean an event of a nature that: (i) would
be required to be reported in response to Item 1(a) of the Current Report on
Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"); or (ii)
results in a Change in Control of the Institution or the Holding Company within
the meaning of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Office
of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") (or its predecessor agency), as in effect on the
date hereof (provided, that in applying the definition of change in control as
set forth under the rules and regulations of the OTS, the Board shall substitute
its judgment for that of the OTS); or (iii) without limitation such a Change in
Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (A) any "person" (as
the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes
the "beneficial owner" (as
<PAGE>
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Institution or the Holding Company representing 20% or more of
the Institution's or the Holding Company's outstanding voting securities or
right to acquire such securities except for any voting securities of the
Institution purchased by the Holding Company and any securities purchased by any
employee benefit plan of the Institution, or (B) individuals who constitute the
Board on the date hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of
at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or
whose nomination for election by the Holding Company's stockholders was approved
by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for
purposes of this clause (B), considered as though he were a member of the
Incumbent Board, or (C) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of
all or substantially all the assets of the Institution or the Holding Company or
similar transaction occurs in which the Institution or Holding Company is not
the resulting entity; provided, however, that such an event will be deemed to
have occurred or to have been effectuated upon the receipt of all required
regulatory approvals not including the lapse of any statutory waiting periods;
or (D) a proxy statement is distributed soliciting proxies from stockholders of
the Holding Company, by someone other than the current management of the Holding
Company, seeking stockholder approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or
consolidation of the Holding Company or Institution with one or more
corporations as a result of which the outstanding shares of the class of
securities then subject to such plan or transaction are exchanged for or
converted into cash or property or securities not issued by the Institution or
the Holding Company shall be distributed, or (E) a tender offer is made for 20%
or more of the voting securities of the Institution or Holding Company then
outstanding.
(b) If a Change in Control of the Holding Company has occurred pursuant to
Section 2(a) or the Board has determined that a Change in Control has occurred,
Executive shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 3 herein upon
his subsequent termination of employment at any time during the term of this
Agreement due to (1) Executive's dismissal or (2) Executive's voluntary
resignation following any demotion, loss of title, office or significant
authority, coupled with a reduction in the compensation and benefits being
received by Executive immediately preceding the change in Executive's functions,
duties or responsibilities, or any material reduction in his annual compensation
or benefits, or relocation of his principal place of employment by more than 15
miles from its location immediately prior to the Change in Control unless such
termination is because of death or Termination for Cause as defined in paragraph
(c).
(c) Executive shall not have the right to receive termination benefits
pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon Termination for Cause. The term "Termination
for Cause" shall include termination because of Executive's personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving
personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful
misconduct, willful violation of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic
violations or similar offenses) or final cease and desist order, or any material
breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, no act, or the failure
to act, on Executive's part shall be "willful" unless done, or omitted to be
done, not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the action or
omission was in the best interest of the Holding Company or its affiliates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been
Terminated for Cause unless and until
2
<PAGE>
there shall have been delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by
the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the members of the Board
at a meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable
notice to Executive and an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be
heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board,
Executive was guilty of conduct justifying Termination for Cause and specifying
the particulars thereof in detail. Executive shall not have the right to receive
compensation or other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause.
During the period beginning on the date of the Notice of Termination for Cause
pursuant to Section 4 hereof through the Date of Termination, stock options and
related limited rights granted to Executive under any stock option plan shall
not be exercisable nor shall any unvested awards granted to Executive under any
stock benefit plan of the Institution, the Holding Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate thereof, vest. At the Date of Termination, such stock options and
related limited rights and such unvested awards shall become null and void and
shall not be exercisable by or delivered to Executive at any time subsequent to
such Date of Termination for Cause.
3. TERMINATION BENEFITS.
(a) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b), the
Holding Company shall pay Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death,

and (2) two (2) times Executive's average annual compensation for the two
preceding taxable years that Executive has been employed by the Holding Company
or such lesser number of years in the event that Executive shall have been

compensation shall include salary, commissions, bonuses contributions on behalf
of Executive to any pension and profit sharing plan, severance payments,
directors or committee fees and fringe benefits paid or to be paid to the
Executive during such year. At the election of Executive, which election is to
be made prior to a Change in Control, such payment shall be made in a lump sum.
In the event that no election is made, payment to Executive will be made on a
monthly basis in approximately equal installments over a period of twenty-four
(24) months following Executive's termination.
(b) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b) the
Holding Company shall cause to be continued life, medical, dental and disability
coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Holding
Company or the Institution for Executive prior to his severance, except to the
extent such coverage may be changed in its application to all Institution
employees. Such coverage and payments shall cease upon expiration of twenty-four
(24) full calendar months following the Date of Termination.
(c) Notwithstanding the paragraphs of Section 3, in the event that:
(i) the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to
Executive, which are deemed to be parachute payments as defined
in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") or any successor thereof, (the "Termination
Benefits") would be deemed to include an "excess parachute
payment" under Section 280G of the Code; and
3
<PAGE>
(ii) if such Termination Benefits were reduced to an amount (the
"Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar
($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive's
"base amount," as determined in accordance with said Section 280G
and the Non-Triggering Amount less the product of the marginal
rate of any applicable state and federal income tax and the
Non-Triggering Amount would be greater than the aggregate value
of the Termination Benefits (excluding such reduction) minus (i)
the amount of tax required to be paid by the Executive thereon by
Section 4999 of the Code and further minus (ii) the product of
the Termination Benefits and the marginal rate of any applicable
state and federal income tax.
then the Termination Benefits shall be reduced to the Non-Triggering
Amount. The allocation of the reduction required hereby among the Termination
Benefits shall be determined by the Executive.
4. NOTICE OF TERMINATION.

indicated.
(b) "Date of Termination" shall mean the date specified in the Notice of
Termination (which, in the case of Termination for Cause, shall not be less than
thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
(c) If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given,
the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a
dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written

appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected) and
provided further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of
dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such
notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Holding Company will

salary) until the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement.

or the Holding Company's outstanding voting securities or right to acquire such
securities except for any voting securities of the Institution purchased by the
Holding Company and any voting securities purchased by any employee benefit plan
of the Institution or the Holding Company, or (B) individuals who constitute the
Board on the date hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of
at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or
whose nomination for election by the Holding Company's stockholders was approved
by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for
purposes of this clause (B), considered as though he were a member of the
Incumbent Board, or (C) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of
all or substantially all the assets of the Institution or the Holding Company or
similar transaction occurs in which the Institution or Holding Company is not
the resulting entity; provided, however, that such an event will be deemed to
have occurred or to have been effectuated upon the receipt of all required
regulatory approvals not including the lapse of any statutory waiting periods.
(b) If a Change in Control of the Institution or the Holding Company has
occurred pursuant to Section 2(a) or the Board has determined that a Change in
Control has occurred, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in
Section 3 herein upon his subsequent termination of employment at any time
during the term of this Agreement due to: (1) Executive's dismissal or (2)
Executive's voluntary resignation following any demotion, loss of title, office
or significant authority, coupled with a reduction in the compensation and
benefits being received by Executive immediately preceding the change in
Executive's functions, duties or responsibilities, or any material reduction in
annual compensation or benefits, or relocation of his principal place of
employment by more than 15 miles from its location immediately prior to the
Change in Control unless such termination is because of death or Termination for
Cause as defined in paragraph (c).
(c) Executive shall not have the right to receive termination benefits
pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon Termination for Cause. The term "Termination
for Cause" shall include termination because of Executive's personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving
personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation
of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar
offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed
to have been Terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been
delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of
not less than a majority of the Board of Directors of the Institution at a
meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice
to Executive and an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be heard
before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board,
Executive was guilty of conduct justifying Termination for
2
<PAGE>
Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. The Executive shall not
have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after
the Date of Termination for Cause. During the period beginning on the date of
the Notice of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 4 hereof through the
Date of Termination for Cause, stock options and related limited rights granted
to Executive under any stock option plan shall not be exercisable nor shall any
unvested awards granted to Executive under any stock benefit plan of the
Institution, the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof vest. At the
Date of Termination for Cause, such stock options and related limited rights
shall become null and void and shall not be exercisable by or delivered to
Executive at any time subsequent to such Termination for Cause.
3. TERMINATION BENEFITS.
(a) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b), the
Institution shall pay Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his
beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a sum equal to
the greater of: (1) the payments due for the remaining term of the Agreement; or
(2) two (2) times Executive's average annual compensation for the five (5) most
recent taxable years that Executive has been employed by the Institution or such
lesser number of years in the event that Executive shall have been employed by
the Institution for less than five years. Such average annual compensation shall
include salary, commissions, contributions on Executive's behalf to any pension
and/or profit sharing plan, severance payments, retirement payments, directors
or committee fees, fringe benefits paid or to be paid to the Executive in any
such year, and payment of any expense items without accountability or business
purpose or that do not meet the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") requirements
for deducibility by the Institution: provided, however, that any payment under
this provision and subsection 3(b) below shall not exceed three (3) times the
Executive's average annual compensation. In the event the Institution is not in
compliance with its minimum capital requirements or if such payments would cause
the Institution's capital to be reduced below its minimum regulatory capital
requirements, such payments shall be deferred until such time as the Institution
or successor thereto is in capital compliance. At the election of Executive such
payment may be made in a lump sum as of the Executive's Date of Termination. In
the event that no election is made, payment to Executive will be made on a
monthly basis in approximately equal installments over a period of twenty-four
(24) months following Executive's termination.
(b) Upon the Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b),
the Institution shall cause to be continued life, medical, dental, and
disability coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the
Institution for Executive prior to his severance, except to the extent such
coverage may be changed in its application to all Institution employees on a
nondiscriminatory basis. Such coverage and payments shall cease upon the
expiration of twenty-four (24) full calendar months from the Date of
Termination.
(c) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3, in no event
shall the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive
under said paragraphs (the "Termination Benefits") constitute an "excess
parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto, and
in order to avoid such a result Termination Benefits will be reduced, if
necessary, to an amount (the "Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one
3
<PAGE>
dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive's "base
amount," as determined in accordance with said Section 280G. The allocation of
the reduction required hereby among the Termination Benefits provided by the
preceding paragraphs of this Section 3 shall be determined by Executive.
4. NOTICE OF TERMINATION.
(a) Any purported termination by the Institution or by Executive in
connection with a Change in Control shall be communicated by Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice
of Termination" shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of Executive's employment under the provision so indicated.
(b) "Date of Termination" shall mean the date specified in the Notice of
Termination (which, in the instance of Termination for Cause, shall not be less
than thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
(c) If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given,
the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a
dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written
agreement of the parties, by a binding arbitration award, or by a final
judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for
appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected) and
provided further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of
dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such
notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, in the event the Executive is
terminated for reasons other than Termination for Cause, the Institution will
continue to pay Executive his full compensation in effect when the notice giving
rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to his annual salary)
until the earlier of: (1) the resolution of the dispute in accordance with this
Agreement or (2) the expiration of the remaining term of this Agreement as
determined as of the Date of Termination. Amounts paid under this Section are in
addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement and shall not be offset
against or reduce any other amount due under this Agreement.
5. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS.
(a) All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or
check from the general funds of the Institution. The Holding Company, however,
unconditionally guarantees payment and provision of all amounts and benefits due
hereunder to Executive and, if such amounts and benefits due from the
Institution are not timely paid or provided by the Institution, such amounts and
benefits shall be paid or provided by the Holding Company.
4
<PAGE>
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent
that payments and benefits, as provided by this Agreement, are paid to or
received by Executive under the Employment Agreement dated December __, 1996,
between Executive and the Holding Company, such compensation payments and
benefits paid by the Holding Company will be subtracted from any amount due
simultaneously to Executive under similar provisions of this Agreement. Payments
pursuant to this Agreement and the Holding Company Agreement shall be allocated
in proportion to the services rendered and time expended on such activities by
Executive as determined by the Holding Company and the Institution on a
quarterly basis.
6. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFIT PLANS.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto
and supersedes any prior agreement between the Institution and Executive, except
that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or
compensation inuring to Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of
this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to
receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this
Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Executive the right to continue
in the employ of Institution or shall impose on the Institution any obligation
to employ or retain Executive in its employ for any period.
7. NO ATTACHMENT.
(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution,
attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null,
void, and of no effect.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,
Executive, the Institution and their respective successors and assigns.
8. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.
(a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.
(b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision
of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such
waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver
unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that
specifically waived.
5
<PAGE>
9. REQUIRED REGULATORY PROVISIONS.
(a) The board of directors may terminate Executive's employment at any
time, but any termination by the board of directors, other than Termination for
Cause, shall not prejudice Executive's right to compensation or other benefits
under this Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation
or other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause as defined in
Section 2 hereinabove.
(b) If Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Institution's affairs by a notice
served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
12 U.S.C. ss.1818(e)(3) or (g)(1), the Institution's obligations under this
contract shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the
Institution may in its discretion (i) pay Executive all or part of the
compensation withheld while their contract obligations were suspended and (ii)
reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended.
(c) If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Institution's affairs by an order issued
under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C.
ss.1818(c)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Institution under this contract
shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the
contracting parties shall not be affected.
(d) If the Institution is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. ss.1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all
obligations of the Institution under this contract shall terminate as of the
date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the
contracting parties.
(e) All obligations under this contract shall be terminated, except to the
extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for the
continued operation of the institution: (i) by the Director of the Office of
Thrift Supervision (or his or her designee) at the time the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or the Resolution Trust Corporation enters into an
agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Institution under the
authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
12 U.S.C. ss.1823(c); or (ii) by the Director of the Office of Thrift
Supervision (or his or her designee) at the time the Director (or his or her
designee) approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operation
of the Institution or when the Institution is determined by the Director to be
in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already
vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.
(f) Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or
otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C.
ss.1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. ss.545.121 and any rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.

<PAGE>
10. REINSTATEMENT OF BENEFITS UNDER SECTION 4.
In the event Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Institution's affairs by a notice described
in Section 4 hereof (the "Notice") during the term of this Agreement and a
Change in Control, as defined herein, occurs, the Company will assume its
obligation to pay and Executive will be entitled to receive all of the
termination benefits provided for under Section 3 of this Agreement upon the
Company's receipt of a dismissal of charges in the Notice.
11. SEVERABILITY.
If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any
provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each
such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with
law continue in full force and effect.
12. HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for
convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of
any of the provisions of this Agreement.
13. GOVERNING LAW.
The validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey but only to
the extent not preempted by Federal law.
14. ARBITRATION.
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in a location selected by Executive within fifty
(50) miles from the location of the Institution, in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on
the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that
Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid
until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
15. PAYMENT OF COSTS AND LEGAL FEES.
All reasonable costs and legal fees paid or incurred by Executive pursuant
to any dispute or question of interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be
paid or reimbursed by the Institution (which payments are guaranteed by the
Holding Company pursuant to Section 5
7
<PAGE>
hereof) if Executive is successful on the merits pursuant to a legal judgment,
arbitration or settlement.
16. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Institution shall provide Executive (including his heirs, executors
and administrators) with coverage under a standard directors' and officers'
liability insurance policy at its expense and shall indemnify Executive (and the
Executive's heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted
under federal law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by
Executive in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in
which he may be involved by reason of his having been a director or officer of
the Institution (whether or not he continues to be a director or officer at the
time of incurring such expenses or liabilities), such expenses and liabilities
to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and attorneys' fees
and the cost of reasonable settlements.
(b) Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Section are subject to
and conditioned upon compliance with 12 C.F.R. ss. 545.121 and any rules or
regulations promulgated thereunder.

substantially all the business or assets of the Institution or the Holding
Company, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the
Institution's obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Institution would be required to perform if no such
succession or assignment had taken place.

WAYNE SAVINGS FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made effective as of ____________________, by and among
Wayne Savings Financial Services Group, Inc. ("Financial Services"), a New
Jersey chartered corporation with its principal administrative office at 1195
Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, New Jersey, Wayne Savings Bank, FSB, a federal savings
bank, the parent company for Financial Services (the "Institution"), and Gary
Len ("Executive"). Any references to Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (the "Parent Holding
Company") refer to the holding company for the Institution.
WHEREAS, Financial Services wishes to assure itself of the services of
Executive for the period provided in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Executive is willing to serve in the employ of Financial Services
on a full-time basis for said period.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereby
agree as follows:
1. POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
During the period of his employment hereunder, Executive agrees to serve as
President of Financial Services. Executive shall render administrative and
management services to Financial Services such as are customarily performed by
persons situated in a similar executive capacity and such other duties as are
from time to time assigned to her by the Board of Directors. During said period,
Executive also agrees to serve, if elected, as an officer and director of any
affiliate of Financial Services.
2. TERMS AND DUTIES.
(a) The period of Executive's employment under this Agreement shall be
deemed to have commenced as of the date first above written and shall continue
for a period of thirty-six (36) full calendar months thereafter. Commencing on
the first anniversary date of this Agreement, and continuing on each anniversary
thereafter, the disinterested members of the board of directors of Financial
Services ("Board") may extend the Agreement for an additional year such that the
remaining term of the Agreement shall be three (3) years unless the Executive
elects not to extend the term of this Agreement by giving written notice in
accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. The Board will review the Agreement
and Executive's performance annually for purposes of determining whether to
extend the Agreement and the rationale and results thereof shall be included in
the minutes of the Board's meeting. The Board shall give notice to the Executive
as soon as possible after such review as to whether the Agreement is to be
extended.
(b) During the period of Executive's employment hereunder, except for
periods of absence occasioned by illness, reasonable vacation periods, and
reasonable leaves of absence, Executive shall devote substantially all his
business time, attention, skill, and efforts to the
<PAGE>
faithful performance of his duties hereunder including activities and services
related to the organization, operation and management of Financial Services and
participation in community and civic organizations; provided, however, that,
with the approval of the Board, as evidenced by a resolution of such Board, from
time to time, Executive may serve, or continue to serve, on the boards of
directors of, and hold any other offices or positions in, companies or
organizations, which, in such Board's judgment, will not present any conflict of
interest with Financial Services, or materially affect the performance of
Executive's duties pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive's employment
with Financial Services may be terminated by Financial Services or the Executive
during the term of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
3. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.
(a) Financial Services shall pay Executive as compensation a salary of not
less than $__________ per year ("Base Salary"). Base Salary shall include any
amounts of compensation deferred by Executive under any qualified or unqualified
plan maintained by Financial Services. Such Base Salary shall be payable
bi-weekly. During the period of this Agreement, Executive's Base Salary shall be
reviewed at least annually; the first such review will be made no later than one
year from the date of this Agreement. Such review shall be conducted by the
Board or by a Committee of the Board, delegated such responsibility by the
Board. The Board may by resolution increase Executive's Base Salary. Any
increase in Base Salary shall become the "Base Salary" for purposes of this
Agreement. In addition to the Base Salary provided in this Section 3(a),
Financial Services shall also provide Executive, at no premium cost to
Executive, with all such other benefits as are provided uniformly to permanent
full-time employees of Financial Services.
(b) The Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit
plans, arrangements and perquisites substantially equivalent to those in which
Executive was participating or otherwise deriving benefit from immediately prior
to the beginning of the term of this Agreement, and Financial Services will not,
without Executive's prior written consent, make any changes in such plans,
arrangements or perquisites which would materially adversely affect Executive's
rights or benefits thereunder; except to the extent such changes are made
applicable to all Financial Services employees on a non-discriminatory basis.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Subsection
(b), Executive shall be entitled to participate in or receive benefits under any
employee benefit plans including but not limited to, retirement plans,
supplemental retirement plans, pension plans, profit-sharing plans,
health-and-accident plans, medical coverage or any other employee benefit plan
or arrangement made available by the Institution or Financial Services in the
future to Financial Services' senior executives and key management employees,
subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall
administration of such plans and arrangements. Executive shall be entitled to
incentive compensation and bonuses as provided in any plan of Financial Services
or its affiliates in which Executive is eligible to participate. Nothing paid to
the Executive under any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of
other compensation to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement.
2
<PAGE>
(c) In addition to the Base Salary provided for by paragraph (a) of this
Section 3 and other compensation provided for by paragraph (b) of this Section
3, Financial Services shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable travel
and other reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of Executive's
obligations under this Agreement and may provide such additional compensation in
such form and such amounts as the Board may from time to time determine.
4. PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination (as herein defined)
during the Executive's term of employment under this Agreement, the provisions
of this Section shall apply. As used in this Agreement, an "Event of
Termination" shall mean and include any one or more of the following: (i) the
termination by Financial Services of Executive's full-time employment hereunder
for any reason other than a termination governed by Section 5(a) hereof, or
Termination for Cause, as defined in Section 7 hereof; (ii) Executive's
resignation from Financial Services' employ upon any (A) failure to elect or
reelect or to appoint or reappoint Executive as President, unless consented to
by the Executive, (B) a material change in Executive's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause Executive's position to become one of
lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the position and attributes
thereof described in Section 1, above, coupled with a material reduction in the
benefits and perquisites being provided to Executive immediately preceding the
change in Executive's functions, duties or responsibilities, unless consented to
by Executive, (C) a relocation of Executive's principal place of employment by
more than 15 miles from its location at the effective date of this Agreement,
unless consented to by the Executive, (D) a material reduction in the benefits
and perquisites to the Executive from those being provided as of the effective
date of this Agreement, unless consented to by the Executive, or (E) a
liquidation or dissolution of Financial Services, or (F) breach of this
Agreement by Financial Services. Upon the occurrence of any event described in
clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) or (F), above, Executive shall have the right to
elect to terminate his employment under this Agreement by resignation upon not
less than sixty (60) days prior written notice given within six full months
after the event giving rise to said right to elect.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, on the Date of
Termination, as defined in Section 8, Financial Services shall be obligated to
pay Executive, or, in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or
beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, an amount equal to the sum of:
(i) the amount of the remaining payments that the Executive would have earned if
he had continued his employment with Financial Services during the remaining
term of this Agreement at the Executive's Base Salary at the Date of
Termination; and (ii) the amount equal to the annual contributions that would
have been made on Executive's behalf to any employee benefit plans of Financial
Services or the Institution or Holding Company during the remaining term of this
Agreement based on contributions made (on an annualized basis) at the Date of
Termination; provided, however, that any payments pursuant to this subsection
and subsection 4(c) below shall not, in the aggregate, exceed three times
Executive's average annual compensation for the five most recent taxable years
that Executive has been employed by Financial Services or such lesser number of
years in the event that Executive shall have been employed by Financial Services
for less than five years. In the event the Institution is not in compliance with
its minimum capital requirements or if such payments pursuant to this subsection
3
<PAGE>
(b) would cause the Institution's capital to be reduced below its minimum
regulatory capital requirements, such payments shall be deferred until such time
as the Institution or successor thereto is in capital compliance. At the
election of the Executive, which election is to be made prior to an Event of
Termination, such payments shall be made in a lump sum as of the Executive's
Date of Termination. In the event that no election is made, payment to Executive
will be made on a monthly basis in approximately equal installments during the
remaining term of the Agreement. Such payments shall not be reduced in the event
the Executive obtains other employment following termination of employment.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, Financial Services will
cause to be continued life, medical and disability coverage substantially
identical to the coverage maintained by Financial Services or the Institution
for Executive prior to his termination at no premium cost to the Executive,
except to the extent such coverage may be changed in its application to all
Financial Services or Institution employees. Such coverage shall cease upon the
expiration of the remaining term of this Agreement.
5. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" shall mean an
event of a nature that: (i) would be required to be reported in response to Item
1 of the current report on Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"); or (ii) results in a Change in Control of Financial Services,
the Institution or the Parent Holding Company within the meaning of the Home
Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the
Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
(or its predecessor agency), as in effect on the date hereof (provided, that in
applying the definition of change in control as set forth under the rules and
regulations of the OTS, the Board shall substitute its judgment for that of the
OTS); or (iii) without limitation such a Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred at such time as (A) any "person" (as the term is used in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of voting
securities of Financial Services, the Institution or the Parent Holding Company
representing 25% or more of Financial Services', the Institution's or the Parent
Holding Company's outstanding voting securities or right to acquire such
securities except for any voting securities of Financial Services purchased by
the Institution or the Parent Holding Company and any voting securities
purchased by any employee benefit plan of Financial Services or the Institution
or the Parent Holding Company, or (B) individuals who constitute the Board on
the date hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director
subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least
three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose
nomination for election by the Parent Holding Company's stockholders was
approved by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board,
shall be, for purposes of this clause (B), considered as though he were a member
of the Incumbent Board, or (C) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation,
sale of all or substantially all the assets of Financial Services or the
Institution or the Parent Holding Company or similar transaction occurs in which
Financial Services, the Institution or the Parent
4
<PAGE>
Holding Company is not the resulting entity; provided, however, that such an
event listed above will be deemed to have occurred or to have been effectuated
upon the receipt of all required regulatory approvals not including the lapse of
any statutory waiting periods.
(b) If a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to Section 5(a) or the
Board has determined that a Change in Control has occurred, Executive shall be
entitled to the benefits provided in paragraphs (c), and (d) of this Section 5
upon his subsequent termination of employment at any time during the term of
this Agreement due to: (1) Executive's dismissal or (2) Executive's voluntary
resignation following any demotion, loss of title, office or significant
authority or responsibility, coupled with a reduction in the compensation and
benefits being received by Executive immediately preceding the change in
Executive's functions, duties or responsibilities, or any material reduction in
annual compensation or benefits or relocation of his principal place of
employment by more than 15 miles from its location immediately prior to the
Change in Control, unless such termination is because of his death, disability,
retirement or termination for Cause.
(c) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 5(b),
Financial Services shall pay Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death,
his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a sum equal
to the greater of: (1) the payments due for the remaining term of the Agreement;
or (2) three (3) times Executive's average annual compensation for the five (5)
most recent taxable years that Executive has been employed by Financial Services
or such lesser number of years in the event that Executive shall have been
employed by Financial Services for less than five (5) years. Such average annual
compensation shall include Base Salary, commissions, bonuses, contributions on
Executive's behalf to any pension and/or profit sharing plan, severance
payments, retirement payments, directors or committee fees, fringe benefits paid
or to be paid to the Executive in any such year, and payment of any expense
items without accountability or business purpose or that do not meet the
Internal Revenue Service requirements for deductibility by Financial Services;
provided however, that any payment under this provision and subsection 5(d)
below shall not exceed three (3) times the Executive's average annual
compensation. In the event the Institution is not in compliance with its minimum
capital requirements or if such payments would cause the Institution's capital
to be reduced below its minimum regulatory capital requirements, such payments
shall be deferred until such time as the Institution or successor thereto is in
capital compliance. At the election of the Executive, which election is to be
made prior to a Change in Control, such payment may be made in a lump sum as of
the Executive's Date of Termination. In the event that no election is made,
payment to the Executive will be made in approximately equal installments on a
monthly basis over a period of thirty-six (36) months following the Executive's
termination. Such payments shall not be reduced in the event Executive obtains
other employment following termination of employment.
(d) Upon the Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 5(b),
Financial Services will cause to be continued life, medical and disability
coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by Financial
Services for Executive prior to his severance at no premium cost to the
Executive, except to the extent that such coverage may be changed in its
application for all Institution employees on a non-discriminatory basis. Such
coverage and
5
<PAGE>
payments shall cease upon the expiration of thirty-six (36) months following the
Date of Termination.
6. CHANGE OF CONTROL RELATED PROVISIONS
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5, in no event shall the
aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive under said
paragraphs (the "Termination Benefits") constitute an "excess parachute payment"
under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto, and in order to avoid
such a result, Termination Benefits will be reduced, if necessary, to an amount
(the "Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less
than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive's "base amount", as determined
in accordance with said Section 280G. The allocation of the reduction required
hereby among the Termination Benefits provided by Section 5 shall be determined
by Executive.
7. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.
The term "Termination for Cause" shall include termination because of
Executive's personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of
fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated
duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic
violations or similar offenses) or final cease and desist order or material
breach of any provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Executive shall not be deemed to have been Terminated for Cause unless and until
there shall have been delivered to him a Notice of Termination which shall
include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less
than a majority of the members of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and
held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity
for him, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in
the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of conduct justifying
Termination for Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. The
Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for
any period after Date of Termination for Cause. During the period beginning on
the date of the Notice of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 8 hereof
through the Date of Termination for Cause, stock options and related limited
rights granted to Executive under any stock option plan shall not be exercisable
nor shall any unvested awards granted to Executive under any stock benefit plan
of Financial Services, the Institution or the Parent Holding Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate thereof, vest. At the Date of Termination for Cause,
such stock options and related limited rights and such unvested awards shall
become null and void and shall not be exercisable by or delivered to Executive
at any time subsequent to such Termination for Cause.
8. NOTICE.
(a) Any purported termination by Financial Services or by Executive shall
be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes
of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which
shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon
and shall set forth in reasonable
6
<PAGE>
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
Executive's employment under the provision so indicated.
(b) "Date of Termination" shall mean the date specified in the Notice of
Termination (which, in the case of a Termination for Cause, shall not be less
than thirty days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
(c) If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given,
the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a
dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written
agreement of the parties, by a binding arbitration award, or by a final
judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for
appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected) and
provided further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of
dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such
notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, in the event the Executive is
terminated for reasons other than Termination for Cause, Financial Services will
continue to pay Executive his Base Salary in effect when the notice giving rise
to the dispute was given until the earlier of: (1) the resolution of the dispute
in accordance with this Agreement or (2) the expiration of the remaining term of
this Agreement as determined as of the Date of Termination. Amounts paid under
this Section are in addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement and
shall not be offset against or reduce any other amounts due under this
Agreement.
9. POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS.
All payments and benefits to Executive under this Agreement shall be
subject to Executive's compliance with this Section 9 for one (1) full year
after the earlier of the expiration of this Agreement or termination of
Executive's employment with Financial Services. Executive shall, upon reasonable
notice, furnish such information and assistance to Financial Services as may
reasonably be required by Financial Services in connection with any litigation
in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may become, a party.
10. NON-COMPETITION.
(a) Upon any termination of Executive's employment hereunder pursuant to
Section 4 hereof, Executive agrees not to compete with Financial Services for a
period of one (1) year following such termination in any city, town or county in
which the Executive's normal business office is located and Financial Services
has an office or has filed an application for regulatory approval to establish
an office, determined as of the effective date of such termination, except as
agreed to pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board. Executive agrees
that during such period and within said cities, towns and counties, Executive
shall not work for or advise, consult or otherwise serve with, directly or
indirectly, any entity whose business materially competes with the depository,
lending or other business activities of Financial Services. The parties hereto,
recognizing that irreparable injury will result to Financial Services, its
business and property in the event of Executive's breach of this Subsection
10(a) agree that in the event of any
7
<PAGE>
such breach by Executive, Financial Services will be entitled, in addition to
any other remedies and damages available, to an injunction to restrain the
violation hereof by Executive, Executive's partners, agents, servants, employees
and all persons acting for or under the direction of Executive. Nothing herein
will be construed as prohibiting Financial Services from pursuing any other
remedies available to Financial Services for such breach or threatened breach,
including the recovery of damages from Executive.
(b) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of the
business activities and plans for business activities of Financial Services and
affiliates thereof, as it may exist from time to time, is a valuable, special
and unique asset of the business of Financial Services. Executive will not,
during or after the term of his employment, disclose any knowledge of the past,
present, planned or considered business activities of Financial Services or
affiliates thereof to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity for any
reason or purpose whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may
disclose any knowledge of banking, financial and/or economic principles,
concepts or ideas which are not solely and exclusively derived from the business
plans and activities of Financial Services. Further, Executive may disclose
information regarding the business activities of the Bank to the OTS and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") pursuant to a formal regulatory
request. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of the
provisions of this Section, Financial Services will be entitled to an injunction
restraining Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, the knowledge of the
past, present, planned or considered business activities of Financial Services
or affiliates thereof, or from rendering any services to any person, firm,
corporation, or other entity to whom such knowledge, in whole or in part, has
been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein will be
construed as prohibiting Financial Services from pursuing any other remedies
available to Financial Services for such breach or threatened breach, including
the recovery of damages from Executive.
11. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS.
(a) All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or
check from the general funds of Financial Services. The Institution, however,
guarantees payment and provision of all amounts and benefits due hereunder to
Executive and, if such amounts and benefits due from Financial Services are not
timely paid or provided by Financial Services, such amounts and benefits shall
be paid or provided by the Institution to the extent permissible under
applicable rules and regulations.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent
that payments and benefits, as provided by this Agreement, are paid to or
received by Executive under the Employment Agreement dated ________________,
1996, between Executive and the Institution, such compensation payments and
benefits paid by Financial Services will be subtracted from any amounts due
simultaneously to Executive under similar provisions of this Agreement. Payments
pursuant to this Agreement and Financial Services Agreement shall be allocated
in proportion to the services rendered and time expended on such activities by
Executive as determined by Financial Services and the Institution on a quarterly
basis.

<PAGE>
12. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFITS PLANS.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto
and supersedes any prior employment agreement between Financial Services or any
predecessor of Financial Services and Executive, except that this Agreement
shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to
Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than
those available to him without reference to this Agreement.
13. NO ATTACHMENT.
(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution,
attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null,
void, and of no effect.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,
Executive and Financial Services and their respective successors and assigns.
14. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.
(a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.
(b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision
of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such
waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver
unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically
waived.
15. REQUIRED PROVISIONS.
(a) Financial Services may terminate Executive's employment at any time,
but any termination by Financial Services, other than Termination for Cause,
shall not prejudice Executive's right to compensation or other benefits under
this Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or
other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause as defined in Section
7 hereinabove.
(b) If Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited
from participating in the conduct of Financial Services' affairs by a notice
served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12
U.S.C. ss.1818(e)(3) or (g)(1), Financial Services' obligations under this
contract shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, Financial
Services
9
<PAGE>
may in its discretion: (i) pay Executive all or part of the compensation
withheld while their contract obligations were suspended; and (ii) reinstate (in
whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended.
(c) If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of Financial Services' affairs by an order issued
under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C.
ss.1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of Financial Services under this
contract shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested
rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected.
(d) If Financial Services is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. ss.1813(x)(1) all obligations of
Financial Services under this contract shall terminate as of the date of
default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the
contracting parties.
(e) All obligations of Financial Services under this contract shall be
terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of the contract is
necessary for the continued operation of the institution: (i) by the Director of
the OTS (or his designee), or the FDIC at the time the FDIC enters into an
agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Institution under the
authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12
U.S.C. ss.1823(c); or (ii) by the Director of the OTS (or his designee) at the
time the Director (or his designee) approves a supervisory merger to resolve
problems related to the operations of the Institution or Financial Services or
when the Institution or Financial Services is determined by the Director to be
in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already
vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.
(f) Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or
otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C.
ss.1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. ss.545.121 and any rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
16. REINSTATEMENT OF BENEFITS UNDER SECTION 15(b).
In the event Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of Financial Services' affairs by a notice
described in Section 15(b) hereof (the "Notice") during the term of this
Agreement and a Change in Control, as defined herein, occurs, the Institution
will assume its obligation to pay and Executive will be entitled to receive all
of the termination benefits provided for under Section 5 of this Agreement upon
the Institution's receipt of a dismissal of charges in the Notice.
17. SEVERABILITY.
If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any
provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each
such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with
law continue in full force and effect.
10
<PAGE>
18. HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for
convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of
any of the provisions of this Agreement.
19. GOVERNING LAW.
The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, but only to the extent
not superseded by federal law.
20. ARBITRATION.
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in a location selected by Executive within fifty
(50) miles from the location of Financial Services, in accordance with the rules
of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered
on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however,
that Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be
paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or
controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
In the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with
Executive's termination is resolved in favor of Executive, whether by judgment,
arbitration or settlement, Executive shall be entitled to the payment of all
back-pay, including salary, bonuses and any other cash compensation, fringe
benefits and any compensation and benefits due Executive under this Agreement.
21. PAYMENT OF COSTS AND LEGAL FEES.
All reasonable costs and legal fees paid or incurred by Executive pursuant
to any dispute or question of interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be
paid or reimbursed by Financial Services if Executive is successful on the
merits pursuant to a legal judgment, arbitration or settlement.
22. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Financial Services shall provide Executive (including his heirs,
executors and administrators) with coverage under a standard directors' and
officers' liability insurance policy at its expense, or in lieu thereof, shall
indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) as permitted
under federal law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by
him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which
he may be involved by reason of his having been a director or officer of
Financial Services (whether or not he continues to be a director or officer at
the time of incurring such expenses or liabilities),
11
<PAGE>
such expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments,
court costs and attorneys' fees and the cost of reasonable settlements.

and conditioned upon compliance with 12 C.F.R. ss. 545.121 and any rules or
regulations promulgated thereunder.

or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or
substantially all the business or assets of Financial Services, the Institution
or Parent Holding Company, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to
perform Financial Services' obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner
and to the same extent that Financial Services would be required to perform if
no such succession or assignment had taken place.

WAYNE SAVINGS FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made effective as of _______________, 1997, by and
between Wayne Savings Financial Services Group, Inc. (the "Company"), a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey, with its office
at 1195 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, New Jersey, and Richard Len ("Executive"). The
term "Institution" refers to Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B., the wholly-owned
subsidiary of Wayne Bancorp, Inc. ("Parent Holding Company") or any successor
thereto (collectively, the Institution and Parent Holding Company are referred
to herein as "Affiliates").
WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the substantial contribution Executive has
made to the Company and wishes to protect his position therewith for the period
provided in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Executive has agreed to serve in the employ of the Company or an
Affiliate thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the contribution and responsibilities
of Executive, and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. TERM OF AGREEMENT.
The term of this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced as of the date
first above written and shall continue for a period of twenty-four (24) full
calendar months thereafter. Commencing on the first day of this Agreement and
continuing on each day thereafter, this Agreement shall be extended for an
additional day each day until such time as the board of directors of the Company
(the "Board") or Executive elects not to extend the term of the Agreement by
giving written notice to the other party in accordance with Section 4 of this
Agreement.
2. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" of the Company or
its Affiliates shall mean an event of a nature that: (i) would be required to be
reported in response to Item 1(a) of the Current Report on Form 8-K, as in
effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); or (ii) results in a
Change in Control of the Company or its Affiliates within the meaning of the
Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS") (or its predecessor agency), as in effect on the date hereof (provided,
that in applying the definition of change in control as set forth under the
rules and regulations of the OTS, the Board shall substitute its judgment for
that of the OTS); or (iii) without limitation such a Change in Control shall be
deemed to have occurred at such time as (A) any "person" (as the term is used in
Sections 13(d)
<PAGE>
and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Company or its Affiliates representing 20% or more of the Company's or its
Affiliates' outstanding voting securities or right to acquire such securities
except for any voting securities of the Company purchased by the Company or its
Affiliates and any securities purchased by any employee benefit plan of the
Company or its Affiliates, or (B) individuals who constitute the Board on the
date hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least
a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to
the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters
of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders was approved by the same Nominating
Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this
clause (B), considered as though he were a member of the Incumbent Board, or (C)
a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially
all the assets of the Company or its Affiliates or similar transaction occurs in
which the Company or its Affiliates is not the resulting entity; provided,
however, that such an event will be deemed to have occurred or to have been
effectuated upon the receipt of all required regulatory approvals not including
the lapse of any statutory waiting periods.
(b) If a Change in Control of the Company has occurred pursuant to Section
2(a) or the Board has determined that a Change in Control has occurred,
Executive shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 3 herein upon
his subsequent termination of employment at any time during the term of this
Agreement due to (1) Executive's dismissal or (2) Executive's voluntary
resignation following any demotion, loss of title, office or significant
authority, coupled with a reduction in the compensation and benefits being
received by Executive immediately preceding the change in Executive's functions,
duties or responsibilities, or any material reduction in his annual compensation
or benefits, or relocation of his principal place of employment by more than 15
miles from its location immediately prior to the Change in Control unless such
termination is because of death or Termination for Cause as defined in paragraph
(c).
(c) Executive shall not have the right to receive termination benefits
pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon Termination for Cause. The term "Termination
for Cause" shall include termination because of Executive's personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving
personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation
of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses)
or final cease and desist order, any material breach of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been
Terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to him a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-fourths of the members of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and
held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity
for him, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in
the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of conduct justifying
Termination for Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. The
Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for
any period after Date of Termination for Cause. During the period beginning on
the date of the Notice of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 4 hereof,
stock options and related limited rights granted to Executive under any stock
option plan shall not be executed nor shall
2
<PAGE>
any unvested awards granted to Executive under any stock benefit plan of the
Company or its Affiliates vest. At the Date of Termination for Cause, such stock
options and related limited rights and such unvested awards shall become null
and void and shall not be exercisable by or delivered to Executive at any time
subsequent to such Termination for Cause.
3. TERMINATION BENEFITS.
(a) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b), the
Company shall pay Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his
beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a sum equal to
the greater of (A) the payments due for the remaining term of the Agreement and
(B) two (2) times Executive's average annual compensation for the two preceding
taxable years that Executive has been employed by the Company or such lesser
number of years in the event that Executive shall have been employed by the
Company for less than two (2) years. Such annual compensation shall include
salary, commissions, bonuses, contributions on behalf of Executive to any
pension and profit sharing plan, severance payments, directors or committee fees
and fringe benefits paid or to be paid to the Executive during such year. At the
election of Executive, which election is to be made prior to a Change in
Control, such payment shall be made in a lump sum as of the Executive's Date of
Termination. In the event that no election is made, payment to Executive will be
made on a monthly basis in approximately equal installments over a period of
twenty-four (24) months following Executive's termination.
(b) Upon Executive's entitlement to benefits pursuant to Section 2(b), the
Company shall cause to be continued life, medical and disability coverage
substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Company or its
Affiliates for Executive prior to his severance, except to the extent such
coverage may be changed in its application to all Company employees. Such
coverage and payments shall cease upon expiration of twenty-four (24) full
calendar months following the Date of Termination.
(c) Notwithstanding the paragraphs of Section 3, in the event that:
(i) the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to
Executive, which are deemed to be parachute payments as defined
in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") or any successor thereof, (the "Termination
Benefits") would be deemed to include an "excess parachute
payment" under Section 280G of the Code; and
(ii) if such Termination Benefits were reduced to an amount (the
"Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar
($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive's
"base amount," as determined in accordance with said Section 280G
and the Non-Triggering Amount less the product of the marginal
rate of any applicable state and federal income tax and the
Non-Triggering Amount would be greater than the aggregate value
of the Termination Benefits (excluding such reduction) minus (i)
the amount of tax required to be paid by the Executive thereon
3
<PAGE>
by Section 4999 of the Code and further minus (ii) the product of
the Termination Benefits and the marginal rate of any applicable
state and federal income tax.
then the Termination Benefits shall be reduced to the Non-Triggering
Amount. The allocation of the reduction required hereby among the Termination
Benefits shall be determined by the Executive.
4. NOTICE OF TERMINATION.
(a) Any purported termination by the Company, or by Executive shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of
this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which
shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon
and shall set forth in detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for termination of Executive's employment under the provision so
indicated.
(b) "Date of Termination" shall mean the date specified in the Notice of
Termination (which, in the case of Termination for Cause, shall not be less than
thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
(c) If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given,
the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a
dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written
agreement of the parties, by a binding arbitration award, or by a final
judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for
appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected) and
provided further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of
dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such
notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, in the event the Executive is
terminated for reasons other than Termination for Cause, the Company will
continue to pay Executive his full compensation in effect when the notice giving
rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to his current annual
salary) until the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement.
Amounts paid under this Section 4(c) are in addition to all other amounts due
under this Agreement and shall not be offset against or reduce any other amounts
due under this Agreement.
5. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS.
All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or
check from the general funds of the Company.
4
<PAGE>
6. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFIT PLANS.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto
and supersedes any prior agreement between the Company or any predecessor of the
Company and Executive, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to
reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to Executive of a kind elsewhere
provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that
Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him
without reference to this Agreement.
7. NO ATTACHMENT.
(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution,
attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null,
void, and of no effect.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
In 1996, Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Wayne
Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank") celebrated two milestones:
First, the Bank converted from mutual to stock form and in connection with
such conversion reorganized into a holding company structure. As a result, the
Company became the parent of the Bank and raised approximately $21 million of
new capital, net of expenses, through the sale of 2,231, 383 shares of its
common stock in a public offering.
Second, the Bank celebrated its 75th anniversary. We have also been
recognized as the Corporate Citizen of the year by the Wayne Industrial and
Economic Development Commission. This award reinforces our total commitment of
service to the community.
The Company began in 1997 as a public company with $244.1 million of total
assets and equity capital of $36.9 million, representing 15.1% of total assets,
and approximately 550 stockholders. For 1996, the Company had net income of
$666,000 and would have had net income of $1.3 million except that it had to
recognize a one time charge of $1.0 million during the third quarter for the
special assessment imposed by Congress as part of the resolution of the
differences between the Savings Association Insurance Fund and the Bank
Insurance Fund. Such resolution should result in a substantial savings in
deposit insurance premiums in future quarters.
The Company also has a relatively new strategic business plan, which was
developed prior to the Bank's conversion. Pursuant to the plan, the direction of
the Bank is to evolve from a traditional savings bank to a community bank,
serving the commercial real estate and non-real estate borrowing needs of the
community for moderate to small size loans, as well as the traditional personal,
residential real estate and consumer borrowing and investment needs for the
members of the community.
We are pleased with the success achieved to date in implementing the plan.
During 1996, the Bank originated approximately $3.1 million in commercial real
estate loans and $686,000 in other commercial loans. In addition, during 1996
the Bank originated $42.0 million of one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans. The Bank also was able to reduce its non-performing assets in 1996 by
$855,000. We believe the Bank's ability to expand loan originations and serve
its local communities will be enhanced by the opening of a new branch office in
Fairfield, New Jersey. The Bank has applied for regulatory approval to open the
new banking office and believes the branch will be able to open by July, 1997.
We believe the steps taken in 1996 position the Bank to successfully
continue the process of becoming a complete community bank, and continue to
enhance shareholder value. In this regard, we have received regulatory approval
and have commenced a program to repurchase up to 5% of our outstanding common
stock. In addition, the Board has declared a $0.5 per share dividend to be paid
on April 25, 1997 to all stockholders of record on April 15, 1997.
Finally, I would like to thank stockholders for the support they gave to
the approval of the Company's 1996 Stock-Based Incentive Plan. This plan gives
the Board a valuable tool to provide incentive and direction to achieve results
which promote shareholder interest.
We recognize that all of you expressed your confidence and trust in us when
you became a stockholder of the Company and I promise we will work relentlessly
to reward your trust. We look forward to continued growth and profitability and
are committed to our shareholders. On behalf of the Board of Directors, officers
and staff, we thank you for your continued support, investment and commitment.
Sincerely,
/s/ HAROLD P. COOK, III

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest
income which is the difference between interest income on loans, investments and
other interest-earning assets and interest expense on deposits and borrowings.
Interest income on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets is a
function of the average balances outstanding during the period and the average
rates earned. Interest expense is a function of the average amount of deposits
and borrowings outstanding during the period and average rates paid on such
deposits and borrowings. The Company's net income is further affected by the
level of its other expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy
and equipment costs, federal deposit insurance premiums and income taxes.
OPERATING STRATEGY
Management's strategy has been to operate as a community oriented financial
institution by offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the
communities it serves while maintaining capital in excess of regulatory
requirements and monitoring the sensitivity of the Company's assets and
liabilities to interest rate fluctuations. The Board of Directors has sought to
accomplish these goals by: (i) attracting and maintaining low-cost savings and
transaction accounts, as well as money market accounts, which management
believes provide the Company with a stable source of funds; (ii) focusing its
lending on the origination of one- to four-family, owner-occupied residential
mortgage loans, including home equity loans; (iii) supplementing its one- to
four-family residential lending activities with commercial real estate,
multi-family, construction and consumer loans originated in the Company's
primary market area in accordance with the Company's underwriting guidelines;
(iv) purchasing short-to-intermediate term investment and mortgage-backed
securities to complement the Company's lending activities; (v) emphasizing
shorter-term loans and investments and adjustable rate assets when market
conditions permit; and (vi) controlling growth.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995.
Total assets increased $36.1 million or 17.4% to $244.1 million at December
31, 1996 from $208.0 million at December 31, 1995. Total cash and cash
equivalents decreased $19.4 million to $6.9 million in 1995 from $26.3 million
in 1996. Cash and cash equivalents decreased due to a decrease in other
liabilities which represents the January 1996 delivery of approximately $13.5
million in mortgage-backed securities, which resulted in cash and cash
equivalents at December 31, 1995, being inflated by that amount until the
securities were delivered and paid for in January 1996. The remainder of the
decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due to the origination of loans and the
purchase of securities. Securities available for sale increased $22.7 million or
39.0% to $80.9 million at December 31, 1996 from $58.2 million at December 31,
1995. The increase is the result of the $25.0 million purchase of a Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corp. ("FHLMC"), fixed rate note ("note") and the simultaneous
borrowing of an advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB")
entered into in August of 1996. The note's term is for a period of ten years at
a rate of 7.783% and is callable after three years and continuously thereafter.
The FHLB advance is for a three year period at a fixed rate of 6.86%, which
represents a pretax spread of 92 basis points or the difference between the rate
earned of 7.783% and the cost of 6.86%. This increase in securities available
for sale was offset by principal repayments and prepayments. Loans receivable,
net increased $33.4 million or 29.8% to $145.4 million at December 31, 1996 from
$112.0 million at December 31, 1995. The increase in loans receivable, net is
primarily the result of an increase in conventional one-to-four family loans of
$26.1 million or 29.8%, an increase in commercial real estate of $3.5 million or
94.4% and an increase in home equity loans of $3.4 million or 16.4%. Loan
originations have increased from $16.1 million for the year ended December 31,
1995 to $57.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, reflecting the
expansion of the Bank's lending area for first mortgages as well as the increase
in loans originated through a loan origination program. In addition, the Bank
has increased its marketing efforts to increase the volume of home equity loans.
Finally, the Bank is attempting to expand the commercial lending function.
Deposits increased $5.1 million or 2.9% to $178.9 million at December 31, 1996
from $173.8 million at December 31, 1995. The increase in deposits for the year
1996 is primarily the result of interest credited to deposit accounts of $6.8
million, partially offset by the decline caused by the purchase of the Company's
common stock in the initial
3
<PAGE>
public offering by depositors that was completed on June 27, 1996. In addition,
there was limited advertising for new deposit products for the year ended
December 31, 1996. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $25.0 million to
$27.0 million at December 31, 1996 from $2.0 million at December 31, 1995. This
increase was due to the purchase of a FHLMC note and a simultaneous borrowing as
described above. Stockholders' equity increased $19.6 million to $36.9 million
at December 31, 1996 from $17.3 million at December 31, 1995. The increase was
primarily due to net proceeds of the initial public offering that was completed
on June 27, 1996 totalling $21.0 million, offset by unallocated shares of common
stock held by the Bank's employee stock ownership plan of $1.8 million. In
addition to the net proceeds, the increase in stockholders' equity was also due
to net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 1996 totalling $666,000
offset by an increase in the net unrealized loss on securities, net of taxes, of
$295,000.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31,
1994.
GENERAL
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased $205,000 or 23.5%
to $666,000 from $871,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and decreased
$818,000 or 48.4% from $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. The
decrease of $205,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 was primarily
attributable to the $1.0 million Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")
recapitalization assessment. In addition, there was a $503,000, net of tax,
non-recurring charge for the benefits paid to the Bank's former President and
CEO upon his resignation from the Bank. In 1995, the decrease in net income from
1994 was primarily due to a $363,000 loss on the sale of mortgage-backed
securities sold in December 1995 in connection with the Bank's decision to
restructure its mortgage-backed securities portfolio.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased $2.3 million
to $15.5 million, from $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
increase in interest income reflects an increase in average interest earning
assets of $30.8 million from $181.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1995
to $211.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, coupled with a slight
increase in the average yield on interest earning assets to 7.29% in 1996 from
7.26% in 1995. Interest income on loans increased by $850,000 to $10.1 million
for 1996 from $9.2 million for 1995, primarily due to a $14.8 million increase
in the average balance of loans receivable from $114.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995 to $129.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996
offset by a 27 basis point decrease in the average yield to 7.78% for the year
ended December 31, 1996 from 8.05% for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Interest income on investments increased $1.5 million to $5.4 million in 1996
from $3.9 million in 1995, reflecting a $16.1 million increase in the average
balance of investments from $66.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1995
to $82.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 and a 65 basis point
increase in the average yield to 6.53%.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased $1.3 million
to $13.1 million at December 31, 1995, from $11.8 million at December 31, 1994.
The increase in interest income reflects an increase in average interest earning
assets of $6.9 million from $174.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994
to $181.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, coupled with an increase
in the average yield on interest earning assets to 7.26% in 1995 from 6.79% in
1994. Interest income on loans increased by $882,000 to $9.2 million for 1995
from $8.3 million for 1994, primarily due to a $7.4 million increase in the
average balance of loans receivable from $107.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994 to $114.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 and a
27 basis point increase in the average yield to 8.05%. Interest income on
investments increased $421,000 to $3.9 million in 1995 from $3.5 million in
1994, reflecting a $485,000 decrease in the average balance of investments from
$67.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $66.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and a 66 basis point increase in the average yield to
5.88%.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense on deposits increased $368,000 or 5.4% to $7.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 1996 from $6.8 million for the year ended December
31, 1995. This increase reflects both an increase in the average balance
4
<PAGE>
of interest bearing deposits of $7.9 million in 1996 compared with 1995,
and a 3 basis point increase in the average rate paid on deposit liabilities
during the same period. The increase in deposits and the rate paid was primarily
attributable to the Bank's certificate accounts, the average balance of which
increased by $7.7 million to $95.8 million in 1996 from an average balance of
$88.1 million in 1995 on which the average yield which increased 7 basis points
from 5.43% in 1995 to 5.50% in 1996. The increase in the rate paid on
certificate accounts was in response to market conditions and was intended to
maintain existing accounts rather than attracting new accounts. Interest expense
on borrowings increased $640,000 in 1996 compared with 1995 due to management's
decision to use borrowings to fund a portion of the Bank's asset growth.
Interest expense on deposits increased $1.6 million or 31.09% to $6.8
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $5.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 1994. This increase reflects both an increase in the average
balance of interest earning deposits of $1.8 million in 1995 compared to 1994,
and a 93 basis point increase in the average rate paid on deposit liabilities
over the same period. The increase in deposits and the rate paid thereon was
primarily attributable to the Bank's certificate accounts, the average balance
of which increased by $17.4 million to $88.1 million in 1995 from an average
balance of $70.7 million in 1994 and the average yield increased 135 basis
points from 4.08% in 1994 to 5.43% in 1995. The increase in the rate paid on
certificate accounts was in response to market conditions and was intended to
maintain existing accounts rather than attracting new accounts to the Bank. At
December 31, 1995, the Bank's certificate accounts had increased to $95.2
million while the yield on certificate accounts was 4.62%. Interest expense on
borrowings increased $170,000 in 1995 compared with 1994 due to management's
decision to use borrowings to fund a portion of the Bank's asset growth.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.3 million
or 21.2% to $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $6.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase is the result of higher
outstanding average interest earning assets offset by higher outstanding average
interest bearing liabilities. Average interest earning assets increased $30.9
million to $211.9 million for the year 1996 from $181.1 for the year 1995.
Average interest bearing liabilities increased $17.7 million to $185.9 million
for the year 1996 from $168.2 for the year 1995. The yield earned on average
interest earning assets increased slightly by 3 basis points to 7.29% while the
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased 15 basis points to 4.28%.
The Bank's interest rate spread decreased 12 basis points to 3.01% for the year
ended December 31, 1996 from 3.13% for the year ended 1995. The net interest
margin increased from 3.42% for the year ended December 31, 1995 to 3.54% for
the year ended December 31, 1996. The percentage of average interest earning
assets to average interest bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31,
1996 was 113.99% compared with 107.63% for the same period in 1995.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased $475,000 or
7.1% to $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $6.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 1994. The positive effect of an increase in average
net interest earning assets and the average rate earned thereon was offset by an
increase in average interest-bearing liabilities and an increase in the average
rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 3.16% for the year ended December
31, 1994 to 4.13% for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Bank's interest rate
spread decreased 50 basis points to 3.13% for the year ended December 31, 1995
from 3.63% for the year ended 1994. The net interest margin decreased from 3.82%
for the year ended December 31, 1994 to 3.42% for the year ended December 31,
1995. The percentage of average interest earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 1995 was 107.63% as
compared to 106.36% for the same period in 1994.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses is a result of management's periodic analysis
of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses
increased $48,000 or 31.6% for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared with
the year ended December 31, 1995. The Bank's provision for loan losses was
$200,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared with $152,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1995. The provision for loan losses decreased $164,000
or 51.9% for the year ended December 31, 1995, compared with the year ended
December 31, 1994. The Bank's provision for loan losses was $152,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1995, compared with $316,000 for the year ended December
31, 1994. The increases in the allowance for loan losses in 1996 are due to
5
<PAGE>
management's continuing reassessment of losses inherent in the loan portfolio
and such increases are primarily to respond to loan growth. At December 31, 1996
and 1995, the Bank's allowance for loan losses totaled $1.8 million and $1.6
million or 1.2% and 1.4% of gross loans receivable and 86.2% and 64.9% of total
non-performing loans, respectively. Management believes that the current
allowance for loan losses is adequate to address the risks inherent in the
Bank's loan portfolio.
The Bank establishes an allowance for loan losses based on an analysis of
risk factors in the loan portfolio. This analysis includes evaluation of
concentrations of credit, past loss experience, current economic conditions,
amount and composition of the loan portfolio (including loans being specifically
monitored by management), estimated fair value of underlying collateral, loan
commitments outstanding, delinquencies and other factors, including the loss
experience of similar portfolios in comparable lending markets.
The Bank will continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and make
future additions to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as
economic conditions dictate. Although the Bank maintains its allowance for loan
losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for losses, there
can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods. In
addition, the Bank's determination as to the amount of its allowance for loan
losses is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), as part of their examination
process, which may result in the establishment of an additional allowance based
upon their judgment of the information available to them at the time of their
examination.
OTHER INCOME
Other income increased $310,000 or 112.7% to $585,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $275,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. This
increase was primarily attributable to a $363,000 loss on the sale of
mortgage-backed securities incurred in December 31, 1995 in connection with the
Bank's restructuring of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Offsetting
this loss was a gain on sale of real estate owned of $118,000 in the year ended
December 31, 1995. Other income decreased $445,000 or 61.8% to $275,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1995 from $720,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994.
This decrease was primarily attributable to the above mentioned $363,000 loss on
the sale of mortgage-backed securities in 1995.
OTHER EXPENSE
Other expense increased $1.9 million or 37.7% to $6.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996 compared with $5.0 million for the year ended December
31, 1995. Other expense increased $519,000 or 11.7% to $5.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995 compared with $4.4 million for the year ended December
31, 1994. Compensation and employee benefits increased $619,000 or 27.4% to $2.9
million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $2.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995. The increase in compensation and employee benefits
expense reflects the non-recurring charge for benefits paid to the Bank's former
President and CEO upon his resignation. Compensation and employee benefits
increased $146,000 or 6.9% to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1995
from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. This increase in
compensation and benefits was the result of normal cost of living increases and
merit raises. For the year ended December 31, 1996 data processing services
increased $40,000 or 19.8% and represents the increase in volume of transactions
processed, primarily as a result of the increase in the number of loan and
deposit accounts as well as the introduction of banking by telephone. In 1995,
data processing fees increased $14,000 or 7.5% due to the increase in deposit
and loan accounts. In 1995, advertising expenses increased $180,000 or 174.8% as
a result of an increased emphasis on loan promotion and a successful checking
account campaign through the first six months of the year compared with a
decrease of $91,000 in 1996. The decrease in 1996 is due to the postponement of
advertising expenditures for deposits, pending the acquisition or expansion of
branch facilities. The increase in Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")
recapitalization assessment expense is the result of the one time assessment of
$1.0 million which represented the Bank's share of the special assessment
required by legislation signed into law on September 30, 1996, requiring all
institutions insured by the SAIF to make a one time payment to recapitalize the
SAIF. Wayne Bancorp, Inc. has determined that the decline in insurance premiums
(required by legislation) from 23 basis points to 6.4 basis points (per $100 of
deposits) effective January 1, 1997, will have a positive impact on earnings in
future years, more
6
<PAGE>
than offsetting the special assessment over time. The decline of $147,000 in REO
operations, net is the result of the balance of foreclosed properties declining
from $597,000 at December 31, 1995 to $116,000 at December 31, 1996. Finally,
the increase in the other category of $387,000 or 39.6% for the year ended
December 31, 1996 to $1.4 million from $977,000 for the year ended December 31,
1995 was primarily due to increased accounting, legal and other professional
fees incurred as a result of the Company being a public company.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense decreased by $84,000 to $403,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $487,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 primarily
due to a $289,000 decline in pre-tax income. Income tax expense decreased by
$457,000 to $487,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $944,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1994 due to a $1.3 million decline in pre-tax income.
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1996 was 37.7% compared
with 36.0% for 1995 and 36.0% for 1994.

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Bank for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. The yields and costs are
derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or
liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived
from average month-end balances. Management does not believe that the use of
average monthly balances instead of average daily balances has caused any
material differences in the information presented. The yields and costs include
fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS
The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates
and changes in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities have affected the Bank's interest income and interest expense during
the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to:
(i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by
prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate
multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) the net change. The changes attributable
to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to
the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

</TABLE>
An Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis approach used by management to
quantify interest rate risk is the net portfolio value ("NPV") analysis. In
essence, this approach calculates the difference between the present value of
liabilities and the present value of expected cash flows from assets and
off-balance sheet contracts. Under OTS regulations, an institution's "normal"
level of interest rate risk (in the event of an assumed change in interest
rates) is a decrease in the institution's NPV in an amount not exceeding 2% of
the present value of its assets. Thrift institutions with greater than "normal"
interest rate exposure must make a deduction for total capital available to meet
risk-based capital requirements. The amount of that deduction is one-half of the
difference between (i) the institutions actual calculated exposure to a 200
basis point interest rate increase or decrease (whichever results in the greater
pro forma decrease in NPV) and (ii) its "normal" level of exposure which is 2%
of the present value of its assets. The rule will not become effective until the
OTS evaluates the process by which savings associations may appeal an interest
rate risk reduction determination. It is uncertain as to when this evaluation
may be completed. Savings institutions, however, with less than $300 million in
assets and a total risk-based capital ratio in excess of 12%, such as the Bank,
are generally not subject to this requirement. If the Bank had been subject to
this requirement at December 31, 1996, its interest rate risk would have been
considered "normal" and no adjustment to its risk-based capital would have been
required.

The following table sets forth, at December 31, 1996, an analysis of the
Bank's interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in the NPV
resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve
(plus or minus) 400 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments).

Certain assumptions utilized by the OTS in assessing the interest rate of
thrift institutions were employed in preparing the preceding table. These
assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay
rates, and the market values of certain assets under the various interest rate
scenarios. It was also assumed that delinquency rates will not change as a
result of changes in interest rates although there can be no assurance that the
Bank's assets and liabilities would perform as set forth above. In addition, a
change in U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a change
in the shape of the Treasury yield curve would cause significantly different
changes to the NPV than indicated above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans and securities and, to a lesser extent, borrowings and
proceeds from the sale of securities. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans and securities provide an indication of the timing of the
receipt of funds, other sources of funds such as loan prepayments and deposit
inflows are less predictable due to the effects of changes in interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.
The primary investing activities of the Bank are the origination of real
estate and other loans and the purchase of mortgage-backed and other securities
which are included in securities held to maturity and securities available for
sale. During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Bank's
disbursements for loan originations totaled $57.7 million, $16.1 million and
$33.6 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, purchases of mortgage-backed securities totaled $36.4 million, $46.6
million and $22.5 million, respectively. These activities were funded primarily
by net deposit inflows, borrowings and principal repayments and prepayments on
loans and securities.
For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Bank experienced net
increases in deposits (including the effect of interest credited) of $5.1
million and $14.8 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1994,
the Bank had a net decrease in deposits of $7.8 million. The increase in fiscal
1996 and 1995 reflects the general increase in market interest rates which made
deposit products (particularly shorter term certificates of deposit) a more
attractive investment alternative of the Bank's customers and the increased
marketing efforts by the Bank. Proceeds from FHLB advances were $25.0 million in
1996, $2.0 million in 1995 and none in 1994.
The Bank may borrow funds from the FHLB subject to certain limitations.
Based on the level of qualifying collateral available to secure advances at
December 31, 1996, the Bank's borrowing limit from the FHLB was approximately
$73.2 million, with unused borrowing capacity of $46.2 million at that date.
Other sources of liquidity include borrowings under repurchase agreements and
proceeds from sales of available for sale securities.
10
<PAGE>
The Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets
and short-term liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable deposit
accounts plus short-term borrowings as defined by OTS regulations. The minimum
required liquidity and short-term liquidity ratios are currently 5.0% and 1.0%,
respectively. At December 31, 1996, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 7.4% and its
short-term liquidity ratio was 3.9%.
The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include
interest-bearing deposits and short-term highly liquid investments (such as
federal funds) with original maturities of less than three months that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The level of these assets is
dependent on the Bank's operating, financing and investing activities during any
given period. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$6.9 million and $26.3 million, respectively.
At December 31, 1996, the Bank had outstanding loan origination commitments
of $9.0 million, no undisbursed construction loans in process, and unadvanced
lines of credit of $9.5 million. The Bank anticipates that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination and other
commitments. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less
from December 31, 1996 totaled $70.7 million. Based on the Bank's most recent
experience and pricing strategy, management believes that a significant portion
of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

WAYNE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wayne
Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Savings Bank,
F.S.B. (the Bank) and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Savings
Financial Services Group, Inc. (the Subsidiary). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business
The Company conducts business primarily through the Bank, which is a
federally chartered savings bank, that provides a full range of banking services
to individual and corporate customers through its branches in northern New
Jersey. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions; it
is also subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergoes
periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The Subsidiary provides
financial and investment planning services and market securities, life and
health insurance products.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
As more fully described in Note 2, the Bank converted from a mutual to
stock form of ownership on June 27, 1996 and 100% of its outstanding common
stock was acquired by the Company. As a stock institution and as a result of the
public offering of the stock of the holding company upon completion of its stock
offering, the holding company is subject to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated
financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated statements of financial condition for the periods then ended.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses
and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in
settlement of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for
loan losses and real estate owned (REO), management generally obtains
independent appraisals for significant properties.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents, for purposes of the consolidated statements of
cash flows, consist of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in
other banks and Federal funds sold.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock
The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB), is
required to hold shares of capital stock of the FHLB based on a specified
formula.
Securities Held to Maturity
Securities held to maturity are carried at the outstanding principal
balance, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Premiums and discounts are recognized using the level yield method over the
estimated lives of the securities. Securities held to maturity are carried at
outstanding principal balance because it is management's intention, and the Bank
has the ability, to hold them to maturity.
Securities Available for Sale
Securities that are held for indefinite periods of time but not intended to
be held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Securities held for
indefinite periods of time include securities that management intends to use as
17

WAYNE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
part of its asset/liability management strategy, including liquidity management
strategy, and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity
needs, and other factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair
value and unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax effect, on such
securities are excluded from earnings, but are included in equity. Upon
realization, such gains or losses are included in earnings using the specific
identification method.
In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued "Special
Report--A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" within which there was offered
transition guidance permitting an enterprise to reassess the appropriateness of
all of its securities before December 31, 1995. The Bank reassessed its
classifications and on December 13, 1995, it transferred securities previously
classified as held to maturity, with an amortized cost of $51,380,000, to the
available for sale classification. The related unrealized gain on the securities
transferred, net of related tax effect was approximately $19,000 which has been
recognized and reported as a separate component of equity.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balance less net deferred
loan origination and commitment fees and the allowance for loan losses.
The accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued when certain
factors indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of such income
(generally when loans are greater than ninety days delinquent). Interest income
previously accrued on these loans, but not yet received, is reversed in the
current period. Any interest subsequently collected is credited to income in the
period of recovery. Loans are returned to accrual status when collectibility is
no longer considered doubtful.
Loan Origination and Commitment Fees and Related Costs
Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the
net fee or cost is recognized in interest income using the level-yield method
over the contractual lives of the specifically identified loans adjusted for
prepayments.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on the Bank's past
loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of
any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. Additions to the
allowance arise from charges to operations through the provision for loan losses
or from the recovery of amounts previously charged off. The allowance is reduced
by loan charge-offs. Loans are charged off when management believes there has
been permanent impairment of their carrying values.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions in the Bank's market area. In addition, various regulatory agencies,
as an integral part of their routine examination process, periodically review
the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to
recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information
available to them at the time of their examination.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS 114) and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures" (SFAS 118) were adopted prospectively
by the Bank on January 1, 1995. These statements address the accounting for
impaired loans and specify how allowances for loan losses related to these
impaired loans should be determined. The adoption of the statements did not
affect the level of the overall allowance for loan losses or the operating
results of the Bank. Income recognition and charge-off policies were not changed
as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118.
The Bank has defined the population of impaired loans to be all nonaccrual
commercial real estate and multi-family loans. Impaired loans are to be
individually assessed to determine that the loan's carrying value is not in
18
<PAGE>
WAYNE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
excess of the fair value of the collateral or the present value of the loan's
expected future cash flows. Smaller balance homogeneous loans that are
collectively evaluated for impairment, such as residential mortgage loans and
consumer loans, are specifically excluded from the impaired loan portfolio.
There were no loans classified as impaired by the Bank at December 31, 1996 and
1995.
Real Estate Owned
Real estate owned (REO) acquired through foreclosure on loans secured by
real estate is reported at the lower of cost or fair value, as established by a
current appraisal, less estimated cost to sell. An allowance for REO has been
established to record subsequent declines in estimated net realizable value.
Carrying costs are generally expensed as incurred. Additions to the allowance
for REO losses, and carrying costs are included in real estate owned operations,
net in the consolidated statements of income.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and
amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets or leases. Repair and maintenance items are expensed
and improvements are capitalized.
Income Taxes
The Company, and the Bank and its subsidiary file a consolidated Federal
income tax return. State income tax returns are filed on a separate basis.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Pension Plan
Pension plan costs based on the actuarial computation of current and future
benefits for employees are charged to expense and funded based on the maximum
amount that can be deducted for Federal income tax purposes.
Earnings Per Share
The Company completed its initial public offering on June 27, 1996, and
accordingly, per share data is not presented for any periods prior to the year
ended December 31, 1996. Earnings per share for the period June 27, 1996 to
December 31, 1996 was $0.01 and was calculated by dividing net income subsequent
to the date of the public offering by the average shares outstanding from such
date. The average shares outstanding for the purpose of this calculation is
2,052,872.
Stock Based Compensation
On January 1, 1996, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), which
permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value
of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS 123 also
allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and
provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for
employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the
fair-value-based method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. The Bank has
elected to apply the provisions of the Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 stock
based compensation as applicable. The Company has made no stock-based awards to
employees or Directors during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Reclassifications
Certain amounts relating to the 1995 and 1994 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.
(2) STOCK CONVERSION
On June 27, 1996 the Company completed an initial public offering. The
offering resulted in the sale of 2,231,383 shares of common stock including the
sale of 178,511 shares to the Company's tax qualified Employee Stock Benefit
Plan and Trust (the "ESOP"). Proceeds of the offering, net of expenses, were
approximately $21.0 million of which $1,785,000 was loaned to the ESOP by the
Company to fund the purchase of the shares.
At the time of the Offering the Company was required to establish a
liquidation account in an amount equal to its total equity as of the date of the
latest statement of financial condition appearing in the final prospectus used
in connection with the conversion. The liquidation account will be maintained
for the benefit of eligible account holders or supplemental eligible account
holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the
conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that
eligible account holders or supplemental eligible account holders have reduced
their qualifying deposits as of each anniversary date. Subsequent increases will
not restore an eligible account holder's or supplemental eligible account
holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the unlikely event of a
liquidation of the Bank (a circumstance not envisioned or expected by
management), each eligible account holder or supplemental eligible account
holder would be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account
in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances of
accounts of all eligible account holders or supplemental eligible account
holders then holding qualifying deposits in the Bank. The balance of the
liquidation account at December 31, 1996 was approximately $12.4 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS Nos. 114 and 118.
The new statements, which are effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, require impaired loans to be
measured at the present value of expected future cash flows by discounting those
cash flows generally at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical
expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The new statements also require
troubled debt restructurings involving a modification of terms to be remeasured
on a discounted basis. The Bank adopted these statements on January 1, 1995. The
adoption of these statements did not have a material impact on results of
operations or financial position, since the Bank had no loans classified as
impaired at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Retained earnings at December 31, 1996 includes approximately $4,517,000 of
income that has not been subject to tax because of deductions for bad debts
allowed for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes have not been provided on
such bad debt deductions since the Company does not intend to use the
accumulated bad debt deductions for purposes other than to absorb loan losses.
If this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to
absorb bad debt losses, taxes would be imposed on such amounts. If triggered,
the tax liability related to the appropriated earnings would have been
$1,626,000 at December 31, 1996.
Legislation was enacted in 1996, which repealed, for tax purposes, the
percentage of taxable income bad debt reserve method. The Bank is required to
recapture the post 1987 build up to its tax bad debt reserves. This deferred tax
liability has been accrued for under SFAS 109.

(12) BENEFIT PLANS
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The Bank has a qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the
Plan) covering all eligible employees. Retirement benefits are based on a
formula utilizing years of service and average monthly compensation. It is the
Bank's policy to fund the Plan for the maximum amount that can be deducted for
Federal income tax purposes, subject to the minimum funding requirements of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The following table sets forth the Plan's funded status and amounts
recognized in the Bank's consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1996

expected long-term rate of return on assets was 7% for all years.
Employee Savings Plan
The Bank has an employee savings plan (the Savings Plan), pursuant to
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for all eligible employees. The
Bank matches 50% of employee contributions up to the first 6% of an employee's
salary. The Bank's contribution during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995,
and 1994 amounted to $32,000, $33,000, and $30,000, respectively.
Consultation and Retirement Plan for Non-Employee Directors

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN ("ESOP")
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds for a loan directly to the
Bank for the ESOP to enable the ESOP to purchase 8% of the Common Stock in the
Conversion. Based upon the issuance of 2,231,383 shares, the amount of the loan
to the ESOP is $1,785,000, to be repaid over a ten year period at an interest
rate of 8.25%. No shares were allocated in 1996.
(13) REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
OTS regulations require savings institutions to maintain minimum levels of
regulatory capital. Under the regulations in effect at December 31, 1996, the
Bank was required to maintain a minimum ratio of tangible capital to total
adjusted assets of 1.5%; a minimum ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to total
adjusted assets of 3.0%; and a minimum ratio of total (core and supplementary)
capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%.
Under its prompt corrective action regulations, the OTS is required to take
certain supervisory actions (and may take additional discretionary actions) with
respect to an undercapitalized institution. Such actions could have a direct
material effect on the Bank's financial statements. The regulations establish a
framework for the classification of savings institutions into five categories:
well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Generally, a bank is
considered well capitalized if it has a Tier 1 (core) capital ratio of a least
5.0%; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of a least 6.0%; and a total risk-based
capital ratio of at least 10.0%.
The foregoing capital ratios are based in part on specific quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the OTS about
capital components, risk weightings and other factors.
28
<PAGE>
WAYNE BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Management believes that, as of December 31, 1996, the Bank meets all
capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. Further, the most recent
OTS notification categorized the Bank as a well-capitalized institution under
the prompt corrective action regulations. There have been no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's
capital classification.
OTS regulations impose limitations on all capital distributions, such as
cash dividends, payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire shares, payments to
stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions
charged against capital.
The following is a summary of the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, compared with the OTS minimum capital adequacy
requirements and the OTS requirements for classification as a well-capitalized
institution.

(14) COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Commitments
The Bank is party to financial instruments and commitments with
off-balance-sheet credit risk in the normal course of business. These financial
instruments and commitments include unused home equity lines of credit,
commitments to extend credit, and commitments to purchase securities. These
commitments and instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk in
excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The Bank's maximum exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to these financial instruments and commitments is represented
by the contractual amount. The Bank uses the same credit policies in granting
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments
recorded in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

WAYNE BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

The Bank leases certain branch offices under operating leases. At December

consolidated statements of income was $253,000, $249,000 and $239,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding legal
proceedings, claims, commitments and contingent liabilities such as commitments
to extend credit which are not included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity of the Company and its subsidiary will not
be materially affected by the outcome of such legal proceedings and claims or by
such commitments and contingent liabilities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
A substantial portion of the Bank's loans are one- to four-family
residential first mortgage loans secured by real estate located in New Jersey.
Accordingly, the collectibility of a substantial portion of the Bank's loan
portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of
REO are susceptible to changes in real estate market conditions.
(15) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the
Company's financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate those
values.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For cash and due from Banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and
Federal funds sold, the carrying amount approximates fair value.
30
<PAGE>
WAYNE BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Securities Held to Maturity and Securities Available for Sale
The fair value of securities held to maturity and securities available for
sale was based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a
quoted market price or dealer quote was not available, fair value was estimated
using quoted market prices of similar securities.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock
The fair value for FHLB stock is its carrying value, since this is the
amount for which it could be redeemed. There is no active market for this stock
and the Bank is required to maintain a minimum balance based on the unpaid
principal of home mortgage loans.
Loans
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial
characteristics. Loans were segregated by type. Each loan category was further
segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms. Fair value of
adjustable rate mortgage loans was determined to approximate their carrying
value.
The fair value of fixed rate loans was determined by discounting the
scheduled cash flows through the contractual maturity, adjusted for estimated
prepayments, using estimated market discount rates that reflect the risk
inherent in the loan type, taking into account the credit grade and maturity.
The fair value of nonperforming loans was determined by discounting the
estimated future cash flows after adjusting for collection costs and risk of
nonpayment.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings,
noninterest bearing demand, NOW and money market deposit accounts, is equal to
the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based
on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining
maturities.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.
These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the
Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments
regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on-balance-sheet financial
instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future
business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments. The tax ramifications related to the realization of the
unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value
estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

(17) SAVINGS ASSOCIATION INSURANCE FUND (SAIF) RECAPITALIZATION ASSESSMENT
On September 30, 1996, the President signed into law the Deposit Insurance
Funds Act of 1996 (the "Funds Act") which, among other things, imposes a special
one-time assessment on SAIF member institutions, including the Bank, to
recapitalize the SAIF. As required by the Funds Act, the FDIC imposed a special
assessment of 65.7 basis points on SAIF assessable deposits held as of March 31,
1995, payable November 27, 1996. The special assessment was recognized as an
expense in the third quarter of 1996 and is tax deductible. The Bank incurred a
pre tax charge of $1.0 million as a result of the FDIC special assessment.
The Funds Act also spreads the obligations for payment of the Financing
Corporation ("FICO") bonds across all SAIF and BIF members. Beginning January 1,
1997, BIF deposits will be assessed for FICO payments at a rate of 20% of the
rate assessed on SAIF deposits. Based on current estimates by the FDIC, BIF
deposits will be assessed a FICO payment of 1.3 basis points, while SAIF
deposits will pay an estimated 6.5 basis points on the FICO bonds. Full pro rata
sharing of the FICO payments between BIF and SAIF members will occur on the
earlier of January 1, 2000 or the date the BIF and SAIF are merged. The Funds
Act specifies that the BIF and SAIF will be merged on January 1, 1999 provided
no savings associations remain as of that time.
As a result of the Funds Act, and recently passed legislation, SAIF
assessments will be lowered to 0 to 27 basis points effective January 1, 1997, a
range comparable to that of BIF members. However, SAIF members will continue to
make the higher FICO payments described above. Management cannot predict the
level of FDIC insurance assessments on an on-going basis, whether the savings
association charter will be eliminated, or whether the BIF and SAIF will
eventually be merged. The Bank paid $393,000, $368,000 and $378,000 in Federal
deposit insurance premiums for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

(19) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June, 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (SFAS No.
125). SFAS 125 amends portions of SFAS 115, amends and extends to all servicing
assets and liabilities the accounting standards for mortgage servicing rights
now in SFAS 65, and supersedes SFAS 122. The statement provides consistent
standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets which are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings. Those standards are based upon consistent
application of a financial components approach that focuses on control. The
statement also defines accounting treatment for servicing assets and other
retained interest in the assets that are transferred. As issued, SFAS 125 is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996 and is to be applied
prospectively. In December, 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the
Effective Date of Certain Provision of FASB Statement No. 125"; an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 125" which defers for one year the effective date (a) of
Paragraph 15 of SFAS No. 125 and (b) for repurchase agreement, dollar-roll,
securities lending and similar transactions, of Paragraphs 9-12 and 237(b) of
SFAS No. 125. The adoption of these statements is not expected to have a
material effect on the Banks financial condition or results of operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Wayne Bancorp, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of Wayne Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wayne
Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
APRIL 30, 1997
-----------------------
SOLICITATION AND VOTING OF PROXIES
This Proxy Statement is being furnished to shareholders of Wayne Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Company") in connection with the solicitation by the Board of
Directors ("Board of Directors" or "Board") of proxies to be used at the first
annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"), to be held on April 30,
1997 at 2:00 p.m., at the Paris Inn, 1292 Alps Road, Wayne, New Jersey and at
any adjournments thereof. The 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders, including
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996,
accompanies this Proxy Statement, which is first being mailed to recordholders
on or about March 25, 1997.
Regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock owned, it is important
that recordholders of a majority of the shares be represented by proxy or be
present in person at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders are requested to vote by
completing the enclosed proxy card and returning it signed and dated in the
enclosed postage-paid envelope. Shareholders are urged to indicate their vote in
the spaces provided on the proxy card. PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTIONS GIVEN
THEREIN. WHERE NO INSTRUCTIONS ARE INDICATED, SIGNED PROXY CARDS WILL BE VOTED
FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND
FOR THE APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF EACH OF THE SPECIFIC PROPOSALS PRESENTED IN
THIS PROXY STATEMENT.
Other than the matters set forth on the attached Notice of Annual Meeting
of Shareholders, the Board of Directors knows of no additional matters that will
be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. EXECUTION OF A PROXY,
HOWEVER, CONFERS ON THE DESIGNATED PROXY HOLDERS DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY TO VOTE
THE SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR BEST JUDGMENT ON SUCH OTHER BUSINESS, IF
ANY, THAT MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING AND AT ANY ADJOURNMENTS
THEREOF, INCLUDING WHETHER OR NOT TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING.
A proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by filing a
written notice of revocation with the Secretary of the Company, by delivering to
the Company a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the
Annual Meeting and voting in person. However, if you are a shareholder whose
shares are not registered in your own name, you will need appropriate
documentation from your recordholder to vote personally at the Annual Meeting.

<PAGE>
The cost of solicitation of proxies on behalf of management will be borne
by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, Regan &
Associates, Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, will assist the Company in
soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting and will be paid a fee of $3,500, plus
out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone
by directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiary,
Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank"), without additional compensation
therefor. The Company will also request persons, firms and corporations holding
shares in their names, or in the name of their nominees, which are beneficially
owned by others, to send proxy material to and obtain proxies from such
beneficial owners, and will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses
in doing so.
VOTING SECURITIES
The securities which may be voted at the Annual Meeting consist of shares
of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), with each share entitling its
owner to one vote on all matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, except as
described below. There is no cumulative voting for the election of directors.
The close of business on March 21, 1997 has been fixed by the Board of
Directors as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of
shareholders of record entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting
and at any adjournments thereof. The total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the Record Date was 2,156,383 shares.
As provided in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, recordholders of
Common Stock who beneficially own in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (the "Limit") are not entitled to any vote in respect of the shares
held in excess of the Limit. A person or entity is deemed to beneficially own
shares owned by an affiliate of, as well as, by persons acting in concert with,
such person or entity. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the
Board of Directors (i) to make all determinations necessary to implement and
apply the Limit, including determining whether persons or entities are acting in
concert, and (ii) to demand that any person who is reasonably believed to
beneficially own stock in excess of the Limit supply information to the Company
to enable the Board of Directors to implement and apply the Limit.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of at least a majority
of the total number of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote (after
subtracting any shares in excess of the Limit pursuant to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation) is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual
Meeting. In the event there are not sufficient votes for a quorum or to approve
or ratify any proposal at the time of the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting may
be adjourned in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies.
As to the election of directors set forth in Proposal 1, the proxy card
being provided by the Board of Directors enables a stockholder to vote "FOR" the
election of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors, or to "WITHHOLD"
authority to vote for one or more of the nominees
2
<PAGE>
being proposed. Under Delaware law and the Company's bylaws, directors are
elected by a plurality of votes cast, without regard to either (i) broker
non-votes, or (ii) votes withheld on proxies as to which authority to vote for
one or more of the nominees being proposed is withheld.

the Company set forth in Proposal 2, by checking the appropriate box, you may:

without regard to either (a) broker non-votes, or (b) proxies marked "ABSTAIN"
as to that matter.
Proxies solicited hereby will be returned to the Company's transfer agent,
the Registrar & Transfer Company, and will be tabulated by inspectors of
election designated by the Board of Directors, who will not be employed by, or

PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON AT THE MEETING
PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of the Company currently consists of ten (10)
directors and is divided into three classes. Each of the ten members of the
Board of Directors of the Company also presently serves as a director of the
Bank. Directors are elected for staggered terms of three years each, with the
term of office of only one of the three classes of directors expiring each year.
Directors serve until their successors are elected and qualified.
As a result of negotiations in connection with the solicitation of proxies
by the Committee to Preserve Shareholder Value (the "Committee") in opposition
to the Wayne Bancorp, Inc. 1996 Stock-Based Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan"),
the Company and the Committee entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") on
February 10, 1997, which became binding upon the approval of the Incentive Plan.
Such Agreement obligates the Company to, among other things: (i) increase by one
the size of the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank and appoint
Dennis Pollack as a Director for a term expiring at the Company's 1997 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders; (ii) nominate Mr. Pollack for re-election to the Board
of Directors at its 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; (iii) upon termination
of William J. Lloyd's next term as a Director or his earlier resignation, reduce
the number of Directors back to nine; and (iv) revise its fee arrangement for
Directors so the increase in the size of the Board will not increase the total
fees owed to Directors.
The Agreement obligates the Committee and each of its members to, among
other things: (i) vote all of the common stock of the Company owned of record or
beneficially by the members of the Committee (the "Committee Stock") at the
Special Meeting to approve the Incentive Plan; and (ii) vote the Committee Stock
in favor of the election of the persons nominated by the Board of Directors of
the Company to be elected Directors at the 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
In addition, the Agreement places certain restrictions on the Committee's
ability to solicit proxies in opposition to the Company prior to the 1999 Annual
Meeting, and prohibits members of the Committee from acquiring additional shares
of the Company's common stock such that their aggregate ownership exceeds 10% of
the outstanding common stock.
The four nominees proposed for election at this Annual Meeting are Harold
P. Cook, III, William J. Lloyd, Ronald Higgins and Dennis Pollack.
In the event that any such nominee is unable to serve or declines to serve
for any reason, it is intended that the proxies will be voted for the election
of such other person as may be designated by the present Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the persons named will
be unable or unwilling to serve. UNLESS AUTHORITY TO VOTE FOR THE NOMINEE IS
WITHHELD, IT IS INTENDED THAT THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD,
IF EXECUTED AND RETURNED, WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES
PROPOSED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's officers (as
defined in regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder) and directors, and
persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's
equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with
the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of copies of such reports of
ownership furnished to the Company, or written representations that no forms
were necessary, the Company believes that during the past fiscal year all filing
requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent
beneficial owners were complied with.
MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE COMPANY
The Board of Directors of the Company conducts its business through
meetings of the Board of Directors and through activities of its committees. The
Board of Directors of the Company meets monthly and may have additional meetings
as needed. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Board of Directors of
the Company held 12 meetings. All of the directors of the Company attended at
least 75% of the total number of the Company's Board meetings held and committee
meetings on which such directors served during 1996. The Board of Directors of
the Company maintains committees, the nature and composition of which are
described below:
AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Audit Committee of the Company and the Bank consists
of Messrs. Charles A. Lota (Chairman), Thomas D. Collins and Ronald Higgins and
is responsible for establishing audit policy. The Committee also reviews and
reports to the Board on the Bank's financial condition and reviews the audit
reports of the Bank prepared by the independent auditors. The Audit Committee of
the Bank and Company met 4 times in 1996.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE. The Company's Nominating Committee for the 1997
Annual Meeting consists of the full Board of Directors. The committee considers
and recommends the nominees for director to stand for election at the Company's
annual meeting of shareholders. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws provide for stockholder nominations of directors. These provisions
require such nominations to be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the
Secretary of the Company. The stockholder's notice of nomination must contain
all information relating to the nominee which is required to be disclosed by the
Company's Bylaws and by the Exchange Act. The Nominating Committee met on
February 11, 1997.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The Compensation Committee of the Company consists
of the full Board of Directors. The committee meets to establish compensation
and benefits for the executive officers and to review the incentive compensation
programs when necessary. The committee is also responsible for all matters
regarding compensation and benefits, hiring,
9
<PAGE>
termination and affirmative action issues for other officers and employees of
the Company and the Bank. The Compensation Committee met one time in 1996.
DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
DIRECTORS' FEES. All members of the Board of Directors of the Company and
the Bank, except Johanna O'Connell, currently receive an annual retainer fee of
$11,111 and the Chairman of the Board and the Secretary to the Board of the
Company each receives a fee of $200 for each Board meeting attended. No
committee fees are paid by the Company.
The Chairman of the Board of the Bank receives a fee of $1,404 per month,
the Secretary of the Board receives a fee of $835 per month and all directors
except Johanna O'Connell receive a fee of $356 per month, regardless of the
number of meetings held by the Board. The Chairman of each committee of the
Board of Directors of the Bank is paid $50 per meeting if the Chairman prepares
minutes for the committee meeting.
The Bank maintains one Director Emeritus position that is currently filled
by Joseph J. DeLuccia, who served on the Board of Directors of the Bank from
1965 to 1990. Mr. DeLuccia is paid a fee for consulting services.
INCENTIVE PLAN. Under the Incentive Plan, each outside director was granted
non-statutory stock options to purchase 8,367 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $17.00 per share, which was the fair market value of the
shares on the date of grant (February 25, 1997). Options become exercisable in
five (5) equal annual installments of 20% commencing one year from the date of
grant.
Under the Incentive Plan, each outside director was granted an award of
3,347 shares of Common Stock. Awards to directors vest in five (5) equal annual
installments at a rate of 20% commencing one year from the date of grant
(February 25, 1997).
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The report of the Compensation Committee and the stock performance graph
shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement
incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or the Exchange Act,
except as to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this
information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such
Acts.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. Under rules
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Company is
required to provide certain data and information in regard to the compensation
and benefits provided to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and other
executive officers of the Company or the Bank. The disclosure requirements for
the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers include the use of
tables and a report explaining the rationale and considerations that led to
fundamental
10
<PAGE>
compensation decisions affecting those individuals. In fulfillment of this
requirement, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank,
at the direction of the Board of Directors, has prepared the following report
for inclusion in this Proxy Statement.
GENERAL. The Company is the parent company of the Bank and does not pay any
cash compensation to the executive officers of the Company. Also, the Boards of
Directors of the Company and the Bank have the same members. Therefore, the
Company does not maintain a compensation committee. The Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors of the Bank is responsible for establishing the
compensation levels and benefits for executive officers of the Bank, who also
serve as executive officers of the Company and for reviewing recommendations of
management for compensation and benefits for other officers and employees of the
Bank. The Compensation Committee consists of all non-employee directors of the
Bank.
COMPENSATION POLICIES. The Compensation Committee has the following goals
for compensation programs impacting the executive officers of the Company and
the Bank:
o to provide motivation for the executive officers to enhance
stockholder value by linking their compensation to the value of the
Company's stock;
o to retain the executive officers who have led the Company to high
performance levels and allow the Bank to attract high quality
executive officers in the future by providing total compensation
opportunities which are consistent with competitive norms of the
industry and the Company's level of performance; and
o to maintain reasonable "fixed" compensation costs by targeting base
salaries at a competitive average.
The executive compensation package available to executive officers for 1996
did not permit stock-based compensation arrangements. As a result of the Bank's
conversion from mutual to stock form and receipt of stockholder approval at the
February 25, 1997 Special Meeting of the Company's 1996 Stock-Based Incentive
Plan, the Company now can seek to align the interests and performance of its
executive officers with the long term interests of its stockholders.
BASE SALARY. For fiscal 1996, the Compensation Committee terminated its
incentive bonus program, recognizing that various forms of stock compensation
would likely be available following the Bank's conversion. Executives earn
salaries that the Compensation Committee deems reasonable and within the average
range as those earned by other executives performing similar duties at
institutions that are similarly sized and located as the Bank. In the future,
the Compensation Committee intends to consider the entire compensation package,
including the equity compensation provided under the Company's stock plans. The
Compensation Committee will meet in the fourth quarter of each year to determine
the level of any salary increase to take effect as of the beginning of that
fiscal year and will adjust salaries after reviewing the
11
<PAGE>
qualifications and experience of the executive officers of the Bank, the
compensation paid to persons having similar duties and responsibilities in other
institutions and the size of the Bank and the complexity of its operations. The
Compensation Committee will consult surveys of compensation paid to executive
officers performing similar duties for depository institutions and their holding
companies, with particular focus on the level of compensation paid by comparable
institutions including some, but not all, of the companies included in the peer
group used for the Stock Performance Graph. The Compensation Committee believes
that current salary levels are consistent with competitive practices of other
comparable institutions and each executive's level of responsibility and intends
for that to be the case in future years.
Although the Compensation Committee's policy in regard to base salary is
subjective and no specific formula is used for decision making, the Compensation
Committee considered the overall performance of the Bank in establishing
compensation levels.
Compensation for the President and Chief Executive Officer. After taking
into consideration the factors discussed above, the Compensation Committee gave
Ms. O'Connell a salary increase of $26,000 to $125,000 when she was promoted to
the positions of President of the Company and President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Bank. This amount was equal to what the former President had been
earning as base compensation prior to the Bank's conversion to stock form. The
salary of $125,000 is within the average range for similarly sized thrift
institutions with similar operating results in the New York/New Jersey area. Ms.
O'Connell has employment agreements which specify her base salary and require
periodic review of such salary. In addition, she, as do other executive
officers, participates in other benefit plans available to all employees
including the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and the 401(k) Plan.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Bank and the Company have entered into employment agreements with Ms.
O'Connell ("Executive") as described below. These employment agreements are
intended to ensure that the Bank and the Company will be able to maintain a
stable and competent management base. The continued success of the Bank and the
Company depends to a significant degree on the skills and competence of Ms.
O'Connell.
The employment agreements provide for a three-year term. The Bank
employment agreement provides that, commencing on the first anniversary date and
continuing each anniversary date thereafter, the Board of the Bank may extend
the agreement for an additional year so that the remaining term shall be three
years, unless written notice of non-renewal is given by the Board of the Bank
after conducting a performance evaluation of the Executive. The term of the
Company employment agreement will be extended on a daily basis unless written
notice of non-renewal is given by the Board of the Company. The agreements
provide that the Executive's base salary will be reviewed annually. The current
base salary of Ms. O'Connell is $125,000. In addition to the base salary, the
agreements provide for, among other things, participation in stock benefits
plans and other fringe benefits applicable to executive personnel.
The agreements provide for termination of the Executive's employment by the
Bank or the Company for cause as defined in the agreements at any time. Under
the agreements, in the event the Bank or the Company chooses to terminate the
Executive's employment for reasons other than for cause, or in the event of the
Executive's voluntary resignation from the Bank, or the Company upon: (i)
failure to re-elect or reappoint the Executive to her current offices, unless
consented to by Executive; (ii) a material change in the Executive's functions,
duties or responsibilities which change would cause Executive's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance or scope from the position and
attributes thereof described in the agreement, provided that no breach shall be
deemed to have occurred in the event Executive continues to receive the same
compensation and benefits as those being received by the Executive immediately
preceding the change in Executive's functions, duties or responsibilities,
unless consented to by Executive; (iii) a relocation of the Executive's
principal place of employment by more than 15 miles, unless consented to by
Executive; (iv) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the
Executive, unless consented to by Executive; (v) liquidation or dissolution of
the Bank or the Company; or (vi) a breach of the agreement by the Bank or the
Company, the Executive or, in the event of Executive's subsequent death, her
beneficiary, beneficiaries or estate, as the case may be, would be entitled to
receive an amount equal to the remaining base salary payments due to the
Executive and the contributions that would have been made on the Executive's
behalf to any employee benefit plans of the Bank or the Company during the
remaining term of the agreement. The Bank and the Company would also continue
and pay for the Executive's life, health and disability coverage for the
remaining term of the agreements.
15
<PAGE>
Under the agreements, if involuntary termination or voluntary resignation
under the conditions set forth above and as set forth in the agreements, follows
a change in control of the Bank or the Company (as defined in the agreements),
the Executive or, in the event of the Executive's death, her beneficiary,
beneficiaries or estate, as the case may be, would be entitled to a severance
payment equal to the greater of: (i) the payments due for the remaining term of
the agreements; or (ii) three times the average annual compensation for the five
preceding taxable years, as described in the agreements. The Bank and the
Company would also continue the Executive's life, health, and disability
coverage. Notwithstanding that both agreements provide for a severance payment
in the event of a change in control, the Executive would only be entitled to
receive a severance payment under one agreement. Based solely on the
compensation reported in the summary compensation table for 1996, excluding any
benefits under any employee plan which may be payable, following a change in
control and termination of employment, Ms. O'Connell would receive severance
payments in the amount of approximately $345,000.
Payments under the employment agreements and the change in control
agreements, described below, in the event of a change in control may constitute
some portion of an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code") for executive officers, resulting in the imposition of
an excise tax on the recipient and denial of the deduction for such excess
amounts to the Company and the Bank.
Payments to the Executive under the Bank's agreement will be guaranteed by
the Company in the event that payments or benefits are not paid by the Bank.
Payment under the Company's agreement would be made by the Company. All
reasonable costs and legal fees paid or incurred by the Executive pursuant to
any dispute or question of interpretation relating to the Agreements would be
paid by the Bank or Company, respectively, if the Executive is successful on the
merits pursuant to a legal judgment, arbitration or settlement. The employment
agreements also provide that the Bank and Company shall indemnify the Executive
to the fullest extent allowable under federal and Delaware law, respectively.
CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENTS
For similar reasons as with the employment agreements, the Bank and the
Company have entered into change in control agreements with two of its officers
and Wayne Savings Financial Services Group, Inc. ("Financial Services") has
entered into a change in control agreement with Richard Len ("Executive"). Each
change in control agreement provides for a two year term. The Bank's change in
control agreements provide that, commencing on the first anniversary date and
continuing on each anniversary thereafter, the Bank's change in control
agreements may be renewed by the Board of Directors for an additional year. The
Company's change in control agreements provide that, commencing on the date of
the execution of the Company's change in control agreement, the term will be
extended for one day each day until such time as the Board of Directors of the
Company or the Executive elects by written notice not to extend the term, at
which time the change in control agreement will end on the second anniversary of
the date of notice. The Company's change in control agreements provide that at
any time following a change in control of the Bank or the Company (as defined in
the agreement), if the Company
16
<PAGE>
terminates the Executive's employment for any reason other than cause, or if the
Executive voluntary resigns following any demotion, loss of title, office or
significant authority, coupled with a reduction in compensation and benefits
from those being received by the Executive immediately preceding the change in
Executive's functions, duties or responsibilities, and reduction in annual
compensation or material reduction in benefits, or relocation of the principal
place of employment by more than 15 miles, the Executive, or in the event of
Executive's subsequent death, Executive's beneficiary or beneficiaries or
estate, as the case may be, would be entitled to a sum equal to the greater of
the payments due for the remaining term of the agreement or two (2) times the
Executive's average annual compensation, as described in the agreement, for the
preceding two taxable years. The Company would also continue the Executive's
life, medical and disability coverage for the remaining term of the Agreement.
The Bank's and Financial Services' change in control agreements are similar to
that of the Company; however, any payments to the Executive under the Bank's
change in control agreement would be subtracted from any amount due
simultaneously under the Company's change in control agreement and in the case
of Financial Services' change in control agreement, amounts due under that
agreement would be subtracted from amounts due under the Bank agreement
guaranteeing the Financial Services agreement. Payments to the Executive under
the Bank's change in control agreement will be guaranteed by the Company in the
event that payments or benefits are not paid by the Bank. Payments under
Financial Services' agreement would be guaranteed by the Bank in the event
payments or benefits are not paid by Financial Services. Based solely on the
compensation reported in the summary compensation table for 1996 for the Named
Executive Officer and similar compensation data for the two senior officers of
the Company and the Bank and excluding any benefits under any employee plan
which may be payable, following a change in control and termination of
employment, the three officers to be covered by the change in control agreements
would receive severance payments in the aggregate amount of approximately
$642,000.
INCENTIVE PLAN. The Company maintains the Incentive Plan, which was
approved by the shareholders of the Company February 25, 1997. The purpose of
the Incentive Plan is to attract and retain qualified personnel in key
positions, provide officers, employees and non-employee directors, including
directors emeritus and advisory directors, with a proprietary interest in the
Company as an incentive to contribute to the success of the Company, promote the
attention of management to other shareholders' concerns and reward employees for
outstanding performance. No awards were made under the Incentive Plan during the
year ended 1996.
The Incentive Plan authorizes the granting of options to purchase Common
Stock, option-related awards and awards of Common Stock (collectively,
"Awards"). Subject to certain adjustments to prevent dilution of Awards to
participants, the maximum number of shares reserved for Awards under the
Incentive Plan is 312,393 shares. The maximum number of shares
17
<PAGE>
reserved for purchase pursuant to the exercise of options and option-related
Awards which may be granted under the Incentive Plan is 223,138 shares. The
maximum number of the shares reserved for the award of shares of Common Stock
("Stock Awards") is 89,255 shares. All officers, other employees and
non-employee directors, including advisory directors and directors emeritus, of
the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive Awards under the
Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan will be administered by a committee (the
"Committee"). Authorized but unissued shares or shares previously issued and
reacquired by the Company may be used to satisfy Awards under the Incentive
Plan. The grant of Stock Awards and the exercise of options granted under the
Incentive Plan will result in an increase in the number of shares outstanding,
and may have a dilutive effect on the holdings of existing shareholders.
PENSION PLAN. The Bank currently maintains the Wayne Savings Bank, F.S.B.
Pension Plan ("Pension Plan"), which is a defined benefit pension plan, for the
benefit of salaried employees employed by the Bank prior to attaining age 60.
The Pension Plan is administered by the Bank. The Bank annually contributes an
amount necessary to fully fund the actuarially determined minimum funding
requirements established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended ("ERISA"). Under the plan's funding method, the actuarial present
value of projected benefits of each individual is allocated on a level basis
over the expected future earnings period through the assumed retirement date.
The Bank makes a contribution to the plan for all eligible employees in
accordance with the plan's guidelines.
Employees of the Bank who have attained the age of 21, have completed six
months of service, and were hired prior to age 60 are eligible to participate in
the Pension Plan. Employee benefits under the Pension Plan begin vesting at 20%
after the second year of service and increase by 20% each year for the following
four years thereafter until full vesting occurs after six years. Payments made
by the Bank pursuant to and for the purpose of funding its obligation under the
Pension Plan totalled $66,843 for the 1996 plan year. The Board has voted to
discontinue the Pension Plan.

(1) The compensation utilized for formula purposes includes the salary and
bonuses in the "Summary Compensation Table."
(2) The benefit amounts shown in the preceding table are not subject to any
deductions for social security benefits or other offset amounts.
As of March 21, 1997, Ms. O'Connell had 7 years, 8 months of credited
service and Richard Len had 7 years, 3 months of credited service.
401(K) PLAN. The Bank has a 401(k) salary deferral plan (the "401(k) Plan")
for the benefit of its employees. The 401(k) Plan provides for participation by
all employees of the Bank. The Bank matches 50% of the employee's contributions
up to the first 6% of the employee's salary. Under the 401(k) Plan, the Bank may
make a special employer contribution in addition to its matching contributions.
To date, the Bank has not made a special contribution. The determination of
whether to make a special contribution and the amount of the special
contribution is established by the Bank's Board of Directors. All participants
in the 401(k) Plan are fully vested in their 401(k) Plan account balance upon
entry into the Plan. Upon the employee's retirement, disability or death, the
entire balance of an employee's account may be paid in a lump sum amount or in
monthly installments over a period of up to 10 years. The 401(k) Plan has a
number of investment options for participants, including the ability to invest
in the common stock of the Company.

<PAGE>
EMPLOYEE SEVERANCE COMPENSATION PLAN
The Bank's Board of Directors has established the Wayne Savings Bank,
F.S.B. Employee Severance and Retention Compensation Plan ("Severance Plan"),
which provides employees designated by the Board with severance pay benefits in
the event of a change in control of the Bank or the Company. Management
personnel with employment or CIC Agreements are not eligible to participate in
the Severance Plan. The Severance Plan will vest upon a change in control in
each participant a contractual right to the benefits such participant is
entitled to thereunder. Under the Severance Plan, in the event of a change in
control of the Bank or the Company, eligible employees who are terminated from
or terminate their employment within one year (for reasons specified under the
Severance Plan), would be entitled to receive a severance payment. A participant
whose employment has terminated would be entitled to a cash severance payment
equal to total compensation received by the participant over the six month
period immediately prior to the change in control. The Severance Plan entitles
participants to receive 50% of the total benefit the participant is eligible to
receive under the plan if the Board of Directors has entered into any corporate
action, the consummation of which would result in a change in control, provided
the participant is continually employed by his employer from a date six months
prior to the date of consummation up to the date of consummation. Any benefit
paid under this provision shall reduce, in equal amount, any benefit otherwise
or subsequently paid to the employee under the Severance Plan. Such payments may
tend to discourage takeover attempts by increasing costs to be incurred by the
Bank in the event of a takeover. Eight employees have been designated for
participation under this plan.
TRANSACTIONS WITH CERTAIN RELATED PERSONS
The Bank's current policy provides that all loans made by the Bank to its
directors and executive officers be made 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 and may
not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features. Any loan made to an executive officer or director must be
approved by the Board of Directors prior to its being committed.
