ITEM 6.          INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

                 A.  Section 145 of the Delaware  Code governs  indemnification
by a corporation and provides as follows:

                           (a) A  corporation  shall have power to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the

                                      II-1


best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was
unlawful.

                           (b)      A  corporation  shall have power to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless any and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.

                           (c)      To the  extent  that a present or former
director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.

                           (d)      Any  indemnification  under subsections (a)
and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is
proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such
determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or
officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the
directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though
less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by a
majority vote of such directors, even through less than a quorum, or (3) if
there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

                           (e)      Expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)
incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such
person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in
this section. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former
directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such
terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

                           (f)      The  indemnification  and  advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this
section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as
to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office.

                           (g)      A  corporation  shall  have the  power  to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person
in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or
not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability under this section.

                           (h)      For  purposes  of this  section,  references
to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation,
any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)

                                      II-2


absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had
continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors,
officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to
the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

                           (i)      For purposes of this  section,  references
to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to
"fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any
employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the
corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such
director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan,
its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interests of the
participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to
have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as
referred to in this section.

                           (j)      The indemnification  and  advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless
otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

                           (k)      The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with
exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of
expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The
Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation's obligation to advance
expenses (including attorneys' fees).


                  B.       The By-laws of the Registrant contain the following
provisions with respect to the indemnification of directors and officers:

                  SECTION 7.01. MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION. The corporation shall
indemnify any officer or director of the corporation, and any officer (other
than an assistant officer) or director (i) of a subsidiary of the corporation or
(ii) of a subsidiary of any such subsidiary, who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(including, without limitation, any action threatened or instituted by or in the
right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or of a subsidiary of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation (domestic
or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees,
filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A person claiming
indemnification under this Section 7.01 shall be presumed, in respect of any act
or omission giving rise to such claim for indemnification, to have acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal matter, to have
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and the termination
of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, rebut
such presumption.

                  SECTION 7.02.     COURT-APPROVED  INDEMNIFICATION.  Anything
contained in the by-laws or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding:

                  (A) the corporation shall not indemnify any officer or
director of the corporation who was a party to any completed action or suit
instituted by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its

                                      II-3


favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation
(domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, in respect of any claim, issue or matter asserted in
such action or suit as to which he shall have been adjudged to be liable for
gross negligence or misconduct (other than negligence) in the performance of his
duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Common
Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite such adjudication of
liability, and in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and
reasonably entitled to such indemnity as such Court of Common Pleas of Franklin
County, Ohio or such other court shall deem proper; and

                  (B) the corporation shall promptly make any such unpaid
indemnification as is determined by a court to be proper as contemplated by this
Section 7.02.

                  SECTION 7.03. INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES. Anything contained
in the by-laws or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent that
an officer or director of the corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section
7.01, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be promptly
indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and transcript costs)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

                  SECTION 7.04. DETERMINATION REQUIRED. Any indemnification
required under Section 7.01 and not precluded under Section 7.02 shall be made
by the corporation only upon a determination that such indemnification of the
officer or director is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.01. Such determination may
be made only (A) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors of the
corporation who were not and are not parties to any such action, suit or
proceeding, or (B) if such a quorum is not obtainable or if a majority of a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or (C) by the stockholders, or (D) by the Court of Common Pleas
of Franklin County, Ohio or (if the corporation is a party thereto) the court in
which such action, suit or proceeding was brought, if any; any such
determination may be made by a court under division (D) of this Section 7.04 at
any time [including, without limitation, any time before, during or after the
time when any such determination may be requested of, be under consideration by
or have been denied or disregarded by the disinterested directors under division
(A) or by independent legal counsel under division (B) or by the stockholders
under division (C) of this Section 7.04]; and no failure for any reason to make
any such determination, and no decision for any reason to deny any such
determination, by the disinterested directors under division (A) or by
independent legal counsel under division (B) or by stockholders under division
(C) of this Section 7.04 shall be evidence in rebuttal of the presumption
recited in Section 7.01.

                  SECTION 7.05. ADVANCES FOR EXPENSES. Expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees, filing fees, court reporters' fees and
transcript costs) incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in Section 7.01 shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding to or on behalf of the officer or
director promptly as such expenses are incurred by him, but only if such officer
or director shall first agree, in writing, to repay all amounts so paid in
respect of any claim, issue or other matter asserted in such action, suit or
proceeding in defense of which he shall not have been successful on the merits
or otherwise:

                  (A) if it shall ultimately be determined as provided in
Section 7.04 that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
provided under Section 7.01; or

                  (B) if, in respect of any claim, issue or other matter
asserted by or in the right of the corporation in such action or suit, he shall
have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or misconduct (other than
negligence) in the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless and only
to the extent that the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite such adjudication of liability, and in view of all the
circumstances, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to all or part of such
indemnification.

                                      II-4


                  SECTION 7.06. ARTICLE SEVEN NOT EXCLUSIVE. The indemnification
provided by this Article Seven shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under the
certificate of incorporation or any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an officer or director of the
corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and
administrators of such a person.

                  SECTION 7.07. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation (domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit), partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the obligation or the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article Seven.

                  SECTION 7.08. CERTAIN  DEFINITIONS.  For purposes of this
Article Seven, and as examples and not by way of limitation:

                  (A) a person claiming indemnification under this Article Seven
shall be deemed to have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 7.01, or in defense of any
claim, issue or other matter therein, if such action, suit or proceeding shall
be terminated as to such person, with or without prejudice, without the entry of
a judgment or order against him, without a conviction of him, without the
imposition of a fine upon him and without his payment or agreement to pay any
amount in settlement thereof (whether or not any such termination is based upon
a judicial or other determination of the lack of merit of the claims made
against him or otherwise results in a vindication of him); and

                  (B) references to an "other enterprise" shall include employee
benefit plans; references to a "fine" shall include any excise taxes assessed on
a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; references to "serving at the
request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves
services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an
employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and references to "a
subsidiary of the corporation" shall include another corporation if securities
representing at least a majority of the voting power of such other corporation
are owned by the corporation; and a person who acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants
and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" within the meaning
of that term as used in this Article Seven.

                  SECTION 7.09. VENUE. Any action, suit or proceeding to
determine a claim for indemnification under this Article Seven may be maintained
by the person claiming such indemnification, or by the corporation, in the Court
of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio. The corporation and (by claiming such
indemnification) each such person consent to the exercise of jurisdiction over
its or his person by the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio in any
such action, suit or proceeding.

                  C. Section 14.7 of the Camco Financial Corporation 2002 Equity
Incentive Plan addresses indemnification of individuals who serve as members of
the Board of Directors of the Registrant or as members of the committee of the
Board of Directors of the Registrant that administers the Plan in respect of
matters relating to or arising out of the Plan. That section provides as
follows:

                  14.7 INDEMNIFICATION OF BOARD AND COMMITTEE. No current or
previous member of the Board or the Committee, nor any officer or employee of
the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally
liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good
faith with respect to the Plan, and all such members of the Board or the
Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company acting on their
behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected
by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation.
The foregoing right of indemnification

                                      II-5


shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such

                  A.       Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales
                           are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
                           registration statement:

                           (i)      To include any prospectus required by
                                    section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
                                    1933;

                           (ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                                    events arising after the effective date (or
                                    the most recent post-effective amendment
                                    thereof) which, individually or in the
                                    aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
                                    the information in the registration
                                    statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                                    any increase or decrease in volume of
                                    securities offered (if the total dollar
                                    value of securities offered would not exceed
                                    that which was registered) and any deviation
                                    from the low or high end of the estimated
                                    maximum offering range may be reflected in
                                    the form of prospectus filed with the
                                    Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
                                    the aggregate, the changes in volume and
                                    price represent no more than a 20% change in
                                    the maximum aggregate offering price set
                                    forth in the "Calculation of Registration
                                    Fee" table in the effective registration
                                    statement;

                           (iii)    To include any material information with
                                    respect to the plan of distribution not
                                    previously disclosed in the registration
                                    statement or any material change to such
                                    information in the registration statement;

                  Provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) of
                  this section do not apply if the registration statement in on
                  Form S-3 or Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required
                  to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
                  paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
                  furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
                  section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
                  incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

                  (2)      That, for determining any liability under the
                           Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
                           amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
                           statement relating to the securities offered therein,
                           and the offering of such securities at that time
                           shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
                           thereof; and

                  (3)      To remove from registration by means of a
                           post-effective amendment any of the securities being
                           registered which remain unsold at the termination of
                           the offering.

                  B. Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the

                                      II-6



registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                      II-7

1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Cambridge, State of Ohio, on the 28th day of
May, 2002.
