Executive’s Employment (other than a termination for Unacceptable Performance, Disability, or death
pursuant to Section 10), or (ii) the Executive voluntarily Terminates his/her Employment for Good

(c) If COBRA continuation coverage is properly elected under the Employing Companies’ group
medical plan by the Executive (and his/her spouse and dependents, if any, covered by the Employing
Companies’ group medical plan on his/her Termination Date), the Employing Companies shall pay the
cost of such coverage for the Executive (and such spouse and dependents), for twenty-four (24)
months following his/her Termination of Employment (or such shorter period during which such person
is eligible for COBRA continuation coverage) and, to the extent Section 20(d) is applicable, such
payments or provision of benefits shall be in compliance with Section 20(d) herein. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, the term “COBRA continuation coverage” shall include coverage substantially
similar to the COBRA continuation coverage provided after eighteen (18) months following the
Executive’s Termination Date, provided that the Executive (and his/her spouse and/or dependents, if
applicable) would be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage if the eighteen (18)-month maximum
coverage period had not expired. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the value of this
coverage will be includible in his/her gross income for tax purposes.

through conversion or otherwise, the Employing Companies shall continue to provide term life
insurance coverage substantially the same as that provided for the Executive immediately before
his/her Termination of Employment and shall pay for the cost thereof for twenty-four (24) months

(f) To the extent that coverage or benefits under Subsection (c), (d), or (e) result in
taxable income to the Executive, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive is fully
responsible for the tax effect of the provision of such coverage or benefits.



(g) If payments to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement would result in total Parachute
Payments to the Executive, whether or not made pursuant to this Agreement, with a value (as
determined pursuant to Code Section 280G and the guidance thereunder) equal to or greater than one
hundred percent (100%) of the Parachute Payment Limit, the provisions of Section 9 shall apply as
if set out in this Section 7.



(h) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, if the Executive is a “specified
employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), to the extent required by such Code
Section, payments otherwise required by this Section shall be delayed to the earliest date on which
such payments are permitted and shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day following the date
that is six months following the Executive’s Termination of Employment or, if earlier, the
Executive’s death. Furthermore, the obligations of the Employing Companies to make payments to the
Executive hereunder are subject to compliance with any applicable provisions of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation regulations found in Part 359 (entitled “Golden Parachute And Indemnification
Payments”) of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor provisions).



8. Change of Control Severance Benefit.



(a) Subject to the following provisions of this Section, the Employing Companies shall provide
the Executive with the payments and benefits set forth in this Section, if during the Term and
concurrent with or within two (2) years after a Change of Control, either (i) the Employing

pursuant to Section 11 for Good Reason.



(b) The Employing Companies shall pay to the Executive a single lump sum payment in an amount
equal to the product of (i) three (3) times (ii) the sum of (A) the Executive’s annual base salary,
at the greater of the rate in effect on the Change of Control Date or the Termination Date, plus
(B) the Executive’s target bonus for the year containing the Change in Control Date or, if greater,
for the year preceding the Change in Control Date, on the 60th day following the
Executive’s Termination of Employment provided that the Executive has executed and submitted a
Release of claims (as described in Section 19) and the statutory period during which the Executive
is entitled to revoke the Release has expired on or before that 60th day.



(c) The Employing Companies shall continue to provide group medical coverage for the Executive
(and his/her spouse and dependents, if any, covered by the Employing Companies’ group medical plan
on his/her Termination Date), for the twenty-four (24) month period following his/her Termination
of Employment. Such coverage shall be under the Employing Companies’ group medical plans and at
the Employing Companies’ expense, shall be the same as that offered to active employees under the
Employing Companies’ group medical plan and, to the extent Section 20(d) is applicable, shall be in
compliance with Section 20(d) herein. If the coverage described in the preceding provisions is not
available under the Employing Companies’ group medical plan, the Employing Companies shall provide
for substantially similar coverage at their expense. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that,
in either case, the value of this coverage will be includible in his/her gross income for tax
purposes. Coverage provided pursuant to this Subsection shall be concurrent with any required
continuation coverage period under COBRA.



(d) For the twenty-four (24) month period following the Executive’s Termination of Employment,
the Employing Companies shall continue to provide term life insurance coverage substantially the
same as that provided for the Executive immediately before his/her Termination Date.



(e) The Employing Companies shall pay the cost of outplacement services incurred by the
Executive during the twelve (12) month period following his/her Termination of Employment and
provided by a firm of the Executives’ choice, up to a total of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000).
Reimbursements for outplacement expenses incurred during a calendar year shall be paid not later
than March 15 of the following year.



(f) To the extent that coverage or benefits under Subsection (c), (d), or (e) results in
taxable income to the Executive, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive is fully
responsible for the tax effect of the provision of such coverage or benefits.



(g) All outstanding Company stock options, to the extent not previously vested and
exercisable, shall become vested and exercisable upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment.



(h) If payments to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement would result in total Parachute
Payments to the Executive, whether or not made pursuant to this Agreement, with a value (as
determined pursuant to Code Section 280G and the guidance thereunder) equal to or greater than one
hundred percent (100%) of the Parachute Payment Limit, the provisions of Section 9 shall apply as
if set out in this Section 8.



(i) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, if the Executive is a “specified
employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), to the extent required by such Code
Section, payments otherwise required by this Section shall be delayed to the earliest date on which
such payments are permitted and shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day following the date
that is six months following the Executive’s Termination of Employment or, if earlier, the
Executive’s death. Furthermore, the obligations of the Employing Companies to make payments to the
Executive hereunder are subject to compliance with any applicable provisions of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation regulations found in Part 359 (entitled “Golden Parachute And Indemnification
Payments”) of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor provisions).



9. Provisions Relating to Parachute Payments.



(a) If payments and benefits to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise, would result in total Parachute Payments to the Executive with a value
equal to or greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the Parachute Payment Limit, the amount
payable to the Executive, shall be reduced so that the value of all Parachute Payments to the
Executive, whether or not made pursuant to this Agreement, is equal to the Parachute Payment Limit
minus One Dollar ($1.00), accomplished by first reducing any amounts payable pursuant to Subsection
7(b) or 8(b), as applicable, and then reducing other amounts of compensation to the extent
necessary; provided that, no such reduction shall be taken if, after reduction for any
applicable federal excise tax imposed on the Executive by Code Section 4999, as well as any
federal, state and local income tax imposed on the Executive with respect to the total Parachute
Payments, the total Parachute Payments accruing to the Executive would be more than the amount of
the total Parachute Payments after (a) taking the reduction described in the first clause of this
sentence, and (b) further reducing such payments by any federal, state and local income taxes
imposed on the Executive with respect to the total Parachute Payments.  The Company agrees to
undertake such reasonable efforts as it may determine in its sole discretion to prevent any payment
or benefit under this Agreement (or any portion thereof) from constituting an Excess Parachute
Payment.



(b) The amount of Parachute Payments and the Parachute Payment Limit shall be determined as
provided in this Subsection (b). The Company shall direct its independent auditor (“Auditor”) or
such other accounting firm experienced in such calculations and acceptable to the Executive to
determine whether any Parachute Payments exceed the Parachute Payment Limit and the amount of any
adjustment required by Subsection (a). The Company shall promptly give the Executive notice of the
Auditor’s determination. All reasonable determinations made by the Auditor under this Subsection
shall be binding on the Employing Companies and the Executive and shall be made within thirty (30)
days after the Executive’s Termination of Employment.



10. Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause, Unacceptable Performance,
Disability, or Death.



(a) The Company may cause a Termination of the Executive’s Employment for Unacceptable
Performance or Disability at any time before a Change in Control. To do so, the Board must provide
the Executive with a notice of termination specifying the Termination Date and either the specific
act(s) or failure(s) constituting Unacceptable Performance or the circumstances constituting
Disability. If the Board’s notice identifies an act or failure constituting Unacceptable
Performance that is subject to correction under the definition of Unacceptable Performance and
related definitions in this Agreement, the notice shall also specify the period during which the
act or failure must be corrected. If the Board determines that the Executive has not corrected the
act or failure in all material respects within the required correction period, the Board must then
provide a second notice of termination stating the reasons for the termination and the Termination
Date, and the Executive’s Employment shall Terminate on such date.



(b) The Company may cause a Termination of the Executive’s Employment for Cause or Disability
at any time concurrent with or after a Change in Control. To do so, the Board must provide the
Executive with a notice of termination specifying the Termination Date and either the specific
act(s) or failure(s) constituting Cause or the circumstances constituting Disability. If the
Board’s notice identifies an act or failure constituting Cause, it shall be accompanied by a
resolution duly adopted by not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board
(after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with
his/her counsel, to be heard by the Board), finding, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, that
one or more of the events of Cause listed above has occurred and specifying the details thereof.
If the act or failure constituting Cause is subject to correction under the definition of Cause and
related definitions in this Agreement, the notice shall also specify the period during which the
act or failure must be corrected. If the Board determines that the Executive has not corrected the
act or failure in all material respects within the required correction period, the Board must then
provide a second notice of termination stating the reasons for the termination and the Termination
Date, and the Executive’s Employment shall Terminate on such date.



(c) If the Executive dies before his/her Termination of Employment, his/her employment shall
terminate automatically on the date of his/her death.



(d) In the case of a Termination of Employment pursuant to this Section, the Executive shall
not be entitled to benefits or payments pursuant to Section 7 or 8.



11. Resignation by Executive for Good Reason. If an event of Good Reason occurs
during the Term, the Executive may, at any time within the ninety (90) day period following such
event, provide the Company with a notice of termination specifying the event of Good Reason and
notifying the Company of his/her intention to Terminate his/her Employment upon the Employing
Companies’ failure to correct the event of Good Reason within thirty (30) days following receipt of
the Executive’s notice of termination. If the Employing Companies fail to correct the event of
Good Reason and provide the Executive with notice of such correction within such thirty (30) day
period, the Executive’s Employment shall Terminate as of the end of such period, and the Executive
shall be entitled to benefits as provided in Section 6 and Section 7 or 8, as applicable.



12. Withholding and Taxes. The Employing Companies may withhold from any payment made
hereunder (i) any taxes that the Employing Companies reasonably determine are required to be
withheld under federal, state, or local tax laws or regulations, and (ii) any other amounts that
the Employing Companies are authorized to withhold. Except for employment taxes that are the
obligation of the Employing Companies, the Executive shall pay all federal, state, local, and other
taxes (including, without limitation, interest, fines, and penalties) imposed on him under
applicable law by virtue of or relating to the payments and/or benefits contemplated by this
Agreement, subject to any reimbursement provisions of this Agreement.



13. Use and Disclosure of Confidential Information.



(a) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) by virtue of his/her employment, he/she
will be given access to, and will help analyze, formulate or otherwise use, Confidential
Information, (ii) the Employer has devoted (and will devote) substantial time, money, and effort to
develop Confidential Information and maintain the proprietary and confidential nature thereof, and
(iii) Confidential Information is proprietary and confidential and, if any Confidential Information
were disclosed or became known by persons engaging in a business in any way competitive with the
Company’s Business, such disclosure would result in hardship, loss, irreparable injury, and damage
to the Employer, the measurement of which would be difficult, if not impossible, to determine.
Accordingly, the Executive agrees that the preservation and protection of Confidential Information
is an essential part of his/her duties of employment and that, as a result of his/her employment
with the Employing Companies, he/she has a duty of fidelity, loyalty, and trust to the Employing
Companies in safeguarding Confidential Information. The Executive further agrees that he/she will
use his/her best efforts, exercise utmost diligence, and take all steps necessary to protect and
safeguard Confidential Information, whether such information derives from the Executive, other
employees of the Employer, Customers, Prospective Customers, or vendors or suppliers of the
Employer, and that he/she will not, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, distribute, or
disseminate to any other person or entity or otherwise employ Confidential Information, either for
his/her own benefit or for the benefit of another, except as required in the ordinary course of
his/her employment by the Employing Companies. The Executive shall follow all Employing Company
policies and procedures to protect all Confidential Information and shall take any additional
precautions necessary under the circumstances to preserve and protect against the prohibited use or
disclosure of any Confidential Information.



(b) The confidentiality obligations contained in this Agreement shall continue as long as
Confidential Information remains confidential (except that the obligations shall continue, if
Confidential Information loses its confidential nature through improper use or disclosure,
including but not limited to any breach of this Agreement) and shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and/or termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employing Companies.



(c) From time to time, the Employer may, for its own benefit, choose to place certain
Confidential Information in the public domain. The fact that Confidential Information may be made
available to the public in a limited form and under limited circumstances does not change the
confidential and proprietary nature of such information, and does not release the Executive from
his/her obligations with respect to such Confidential Information.



14. Ownership of Documents and Return of Materials At Termination of Employment.



(a) Any and all documents, records, and copies thereof, including but not limited to hard
copies or copies stored digitally or electronically, pertaining to or including Confidential
Information (collectively, “Company Documents”) that are made or received by the Executive during
his/her employment shall be deemed to be property of the Employer. The Executive shall use Company
Documents and information contained therein only in the course of his/her employment for the
Employing Companies and for no other purpose. The Executive shall not use or disclose any Company
Documents to anyone except as authorized in the course of his/her employment and in furtherance of
the Company’s Business.



(b) Upon Termination of Employment, the Executive shall immediately deliver to the Employing
Companies (with or without request) all Company Documents and all other Employer property in the
Executive’s possession or under his/her custody or control.



15. Non-Solicitation of Customers and Employees. The Executive agrees that during the
Term and for a period of two (2) years following the Termination of the Executive’s Employment, the
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, (i) solicit in any manner,
seek to obtain or service, or accept the business of any Customer for any product or service of the
type offered by the Employer or competitive with the Company’s Business, (ii) solicit in any
manner, seek to obtain or service, or accept the business of any Prospective Customer for any
product or service of the type offered by the Employer or otherwise competitive with the Company’s
Business, (iii) request or advise any Customer, Prospective Customer, or supplier of the Employer
to terminate, reduce, limit, or change its business or relationship with the Employer, or (iv)
induce, request, or attempt to influence any employee of the Employer to terminate his/her
employment with the Employer.



16. Covenant Not to Compete. The Executive hereby understands and acknowledges that,
by virtue of his/her position with the Employing Companies, he/she has obtained advantageous
familiarity and personal contacts with Customers and Prospective Customers, wherever located, and
the business, operations, and affairs of the Employer. Accordingly, during the term of this
Agreement and for a period of two (2) years following the termination of his/her employment, the
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:



(a) as owner, officer, director, stockholder, investor, proprietor, organizer, employee,
agent, representative, consultant, independent contractor, or otherwise, engage in the same trade
or business as the Company’s Business, in the same or similar capacity as the Executive worked for
the Employing Companies, or in such capacity as would cause the actual or threatened use of the
Employer’s trade secrets and/or Confidential Information; provided, however, that this Subsection
shall not restrict the Executive from acquiring, as a passive investment, less than five percent
(5%) of the outstanding securities of any class of an entity that are listed on a national
securities exchange or actively traded in the over-the-counter market. The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that, given the level of trust and responsibility given to him while in the Employing
Companies’ employ, and the level and depth of trade secrets and Confidential Information entrusted
to him, any immediately subsequent (i.e. within two (2) years) employment with a competitor to the
Company’s Business would result in the inevitable use or disclosure of the Employer’s trade secrets
and Confidential Information and, therefore, this two (2) year restriction is reasonable and
necessary to protect against such inevitable disclosure; or



(b) offer to provide employment or work of any kind (whether such employment is with the
Executive or any other business or enterprise), either on a full-time or part-time or consulting
basis, to any person who then currently is, or who within two (2) years preceding such offer or
provision of employment has been, an employee of the Employer.



The restrictions on the activities of the Executive contained in this Section shall be limited to
the following geographical areas:



(c) within a fifteen (15) mile radius of each banking center location operated by the Employer
on the Executive’s Termination Date;



(d) within each county in which a banking center location is operated by the Employer on the
Executive’s Termination Date;



(e) within a fifty (50) mile radius of Company’s corporate headquarters address in Evansville,
Indiana;



(f) within each city, town, and county in which the Employer began expansion or acquisition
planning or efforts during the Executive’s employment with the Employing Companies, and about which
Executive gained knowledge of Confidential Information or bore responsibility for expanding the
Company’s Business;



17. Remedies. The Executive agrees that the Company will suffer irreparable damage
and injury and will not have an adequate remedy at law if the Executive breaches any provision of
the Restrictive Covenants. Accordingly, if the Executive breaches or threatens or attempts to
breach the Restrictive Covenants, in addition to all other available remedies, the Company shall be
entitled to seek injunctive relief, and no or minimal bond or other security shall be required in
connection therewith. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of termination of
this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, the Executive can obtain employment not competitive with
the Company’s Business (or, if competitive, outside of the geographic and customer-specific scope
described herein) and that the issuance of an injunction to enforce the provisions of the
Restrictive Covenants shall not prevent the Executive from earning a livelihood. The Restrictive
Covenants are essential terms and conditions to the Company entering into this Agreement, and they
shall be construed as independent of any other provision in this Agreement or of any other
agreement between the Executive and the Company. The existence of any claim or cause of action
that the Executive has against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise,
shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the Restrictive Covenants.



18. Periods of Noncompliance and Reasonableness of Periods. The Restrictive Covenants
described in Sections 15 and 16 shall be deemed not to run during all periods of noncompliance, the
intention of the parties being to have such restrictions and covenants apply for the full periods
specified in Sections 15 and 16 following Termination of the Executive’s Employment. The Company
and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the restrictions and covenants contained in Sections
15 and 16 are reasonable in view of the nature of the Company’s Business and the Executive’s
advantageous knowledge of and familiarity with the Company’s Business, operations, affairs, and
Customers. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the scope of any
restriction or covenant contained in Sections 15 and 16 is found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction or covenant to its full
extent, then such restriction or covenant shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that a court of competent jurisdiction shall invoke and
exercise the blue pencil doctrine to the fullest extent permitted by law to enforce this Agreement.



19. Release. For and in consideration of the foregoing covenants and promises made by
the Company, and the performance of such covenants and promises, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Executive agrees to release the Employer and all other persons named in the
Release from any and all causes of action that the Executive has or may have against the Employer
or any such person before the effective date of the Release, other than a breach of this Agreement.
The Release shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I. The Company shall
provide the Release to the Executive as soon as practicable upon his/her Termination of Employment.
THE EXECUTIVE’S RIGHT TO BENEFITS HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONTINGENT ON HIS SIGNING AND NOT REVOKING THE
RELEASE AS PROVIDED IN THE RELEASE WITHIN TWENTY-TWO DAYS AFTER RECEIVING IT.



20. Reimbursement of Certain Costs.



(a) If, during the life of the Executive and for a five (5) year period following his/her
death, the Company brings a cause of action to enforce the Restrictive Covenants or to recover
damages caused by the Executive’s breach of the Restrictive Covenants, the substantially prevailing
party in such action shall be entitled to reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and disbursements) in connection with
such action.



(b) If, during the life of the Executive and for a five (5) year period following his/her
death, a dispute arises regarding the Executive’s rights hereunder, and the Executive obtains a
final judgment in his/her favor from a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such
dispute, all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees, expert witness fees, and disbursements) incurred by the Executive in connection with such
dispute or in otherwise pursuing a claim based on a breach of this Agreement, shall be paid by the
Company.
