"Per Share Merger  Consideration") and an appropriate fraction of $18.25 in cash
for any fractional  shares created.  At the effective time of the Merger,  there
were 1,463,039 shares of First Ashland issued and outstanding. The aggregate Per
Share Merger  Consideration  paid by Camco is  $13,170,801.36 in cash (including
payments  for  fractional  shares  created)  and 987,245  shares of Camco common
stock.

     At the effective time of the Merger,  the  outstanding  options for 138,050
