In the case of a Participant's Disability, such employment termination shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that the Committee determines that the Participant is Disabled.

9.    Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs during a Performance Period, Awards under the Plan will be calculated based on the Company's performance as of the date of the Change in Control. Awards paid in connection with a Change in Control will be paid no later than 2 1/2 months following the date of the Change in Control.


 


10.  General Provisions.


 


  (a)    Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Plan and the granting of Awards shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.


 


  (b)    Non-transferability. A person's rights and interests under the Plan, including any Award previously made to such person or any amounts payable under the Plan, may not be assigned, pledged or transferred, except in accordance with Section 10(i) in the event of the Participant's death.


 


  (c)    No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any notice of Award shall confer upon any person the right to continue in the employment as a senior or executive officer or outside director of the Company or any Affiliate or affect the right of the Company or any Affiliate (or the shareholders thereof) to terminate such employment of any Participant.


 


  (d)    No Right to Award. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in an employment agreement signed by the Company or Affiliate, a Participant shall not have any right to any Award under the Plan until such Award has been paid to such Participant, and participation in the Plan in one Performance Period does not connote any right to become a Participant in the Plan in any future Performance Period.


 


  (e)    Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold from any Award, any federal, state or local income and payroll taxes required by law to be withheld and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to an Award.


 


  (f)    Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may, at any time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant to Awards allocated prior to such amendment, suspension or termination.


 


  (g)    Unfunded Status. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary or legal representative or any other person. To the extent that a person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

  (h)    Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflicts of law principals.


 


  (i)    Beneficiaries. To the extent that the Committee permits beneficiary designations, any payment of Awards due under the Plan to a deceased Participant shall be paid to the beneficiary duly designated by the Participant in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. If no such beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made by will or the laws of descent or distribution.


 


  (j)    Code Section 409A. It is intended that payments under the Plan qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. In the event that any Award does not qualify for treatment as an exempt short-term deferral, it is intended that such amount will be paid in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan shall be interpreted and construed accordingly.


 


  (k)    Headings. The section and paragraph headings in the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of the Plan for purposes of interpretation or construction.


 


  (l)    Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and endorsed as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been contained in the Plan.


 


  (m)    Non-exclusive. Nothing in the Plan shall limit the authority of the Company, the Board or the Committee to adopt such other compensation arrangements, as it may deem desirable for any Participant.


 


  (n)    Notices. Any notice or document required to be given to or filed with the Committee under this Plan will be properly given or filed if delivered or mailed, by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Compensation Committee, First Capital, Inc. Board of Directors, 220 Federal Drive, P.O. Box 130, Corydon, Indiana, 47112.


 


  (o)    Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding upon any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.


 


  (p)    Clawback. All Awards are subject to the Company's Clawback Policy as in effect from time to time and, in accordance with such policy, may be subject to the requirement that the Awards be repaid to the Company after they have been distributed to the Participant. The action permitted to be taken by the Board under this Section is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other rights of the Board and the Company under applicable law and shall apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan.
