    Dear
      _________________,

    

    Ball
      Corporation (the "Corporation") considers it essential to the best interests
      of
      its stockholders to foster the continuous employment of key management
      personnel. In this connection, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
      "Board") recognizes that the possibility of a change in control of the
      Corporation exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions
      which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction
      of management
      personnel
      to the detriment of the Corporation and its stockholders.

    

    The
      Board
      has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage
      the continued attention and dedication of members of the Corporation's
      management, including yourself, to their assigned duties without distraction
      in
      the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility
      of
      a change in control of the Corporation.

    

    In
      order
      to induce you to remain in the employ of the Corporation or any wholly owned
      subsidiary of the Corporation, the Corporation agrees that you shall receive
      the
      severance benefits set forth in this letter agreement (the "Agreement"), which
      amends and restates the agreement between you and the Corporation, dated January
      6, 1995, in the event your employment with the Corporation is terminated under
      the circumstances described below subsequent to a "Change in Control of the
      Corporation" (as defined in Section 2).

    

    1.     Term
      of Agreement.
      The
      Agreement shall continue in effect through August 1, 1996; provided, however,
      that commencing on August 1, 1996, and each August 1, thereafter, the term
      of
      this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless,
      not later than June 1 immediately preceding such August 1, and every June 1,
      thereafter, the Corporation shall have given notice that it does not wish to
      extend this Agreement; and provided, further, that if a Change in Control of
      the
      Corporation as defined in Section 2, shall have occurred during the original
      or
      extended term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in effect for
      a
      period of not less than twenty-four (24) months beyond the month in which such
      Change in Control occurred.

    

    2.     Change
      in Control.
      No
      benefits shall be payable hereunder unless there shall have been a Change in
      Control of the Corporation, as set forth below. For purposes of this Agreement,
      a "Change in Control of the Corporation" shall be deemed to have occurred upon
      the first to occur of the following events:

    

    (i) any
      "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities
      Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (other than the
      Corporation, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
      benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, or any
      corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the
      Corporation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock
      of
      the Corporation), is or becomes the "beneficial 

    
      
         

        

        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    owner"
      (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly,
      of
      securities of the Corporation representing 30 percent or more of the combined
      voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities;

    

    (ii) at
      any
      time during any period of two consecutive years, individuals, who at the
      beginning of such agreement with the Corporation to effect a transaction
      described in Subsection (i), (iii) or (iv) of this Section) whose election
      by
      the Board or nomination for election by the Corporation's stockholders was
      approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors at the
      beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was
      previously so approved cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority
      thereof;

    

    (iii) the
      stockholders of the Corporation approve a merger or consolidation of the
      Corporation with any other corporation, other than (1) a merger or consolidation
      which would result in the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding
      immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
      outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving
      entity) more than 50 percent of the combined voting power of the voting
      securities of the Corporation or such surviving entity outstanding immediately
      after such merger or consolidation or (2) a merger or consolidation effected
      to
      implement a recapitalization of the Corporation (or similar trans-action) in
      which no person acquires 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of
      the
      Corporation's then outstanding securities; or

    

    (iv) the
      stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation of the
      Corporation or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Corporation
      of
      all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets.

    

    3.     Takeover
      Threat.
      For
      purposes of this Agreement, a "Takeover Threat" shall be deemed to have occurred
      if (i) the Corporation enters into an agreement, the consummation of which
      would
      result in the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Corporation; (ii) any
      person (including the Corporation) publicly announces an inten-tion to take
      or
      to consider taking actions which, if consummated, would constitute a Change
      in
      Control of the Corporation; (iii) any "person," as such term is used in Sections
      13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Corporation, any trustee
      or
      other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the
      Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation, or any corporation owned,
      directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Corporation in substantially
      the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Corporation), who is
      or
      has become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13 d-3 under the Exchange
      Act), directly or indirectly of securities of the Corporation representing
      t0
      percent or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then
      outstanding securities increases such ownership by 5 percentage points or more
      of such voting power over a period of less than twenty-four (24) months; or
      (iv)
      the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that a Takeover Threat for purposes
      of this Agreement has occurred. Solely for purposes of determining your
      entitlement to payment of severance benefits pursuant to this Agreement, you
      agree that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event
      of a Takeover Threat, you will remain in the employ of the Corporation for
      a
      period of one (1) year from the occurrence of such Takeover Threat, or until
      an
      actual Change in Control of the Corporation, whichever occurs
      earlier.

    

    4.     Termination
      Following Change in Control.

    

    (i) General.
      If any
      of the events described in Section 2 constituting a Change in Control of the
      Corporation shall have occurred, (A) you shall be entitled to the benefits
      provided in Section 5(iii) upon the subsequent termi-nation of your employment
      

    
      
        2

        

        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    during
      the term of this Agreement unless such termination is (a) because of your death
      or Disability, (b) by the Corporation for Cause, or (c) by you other than on
      account of Constructive Termination, and (B) you shall be entitled to the
      benefits provided in Section 5(vi) whether or not your employment with the
      Corporation is terminated. In the event your employment with the Corporation
      is
      terminated for any reason at any time prior to the occurrence of a Change in
      Control of the Corporation and subse-quently a Change in Control of the
      Corporation shall have occurred, you shall not be entitled to any benefits
      hereunder.

    

    (ii) Disability.
      If, as
      a result of your incapacity due to physical or mental illness, you shall have
      been absent from the full-time performance of your duties with the Corporation
      for six (6) consecutive months, and within thirty (30) days after written notice
      of termination is given you shall not have returned to the full-time performance
      of your duties, your employment may be terminated for "Disability."

    

    (iii) Cause.
      Termination by the Corporation of your employment for "Cause" shall mean
      termination (a) upon the willful and continued failure by you to substantially
      perform your duties with the Corporation (other than any such failure resulting
      from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or
      anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination (as defined
      in
      Subsection (v) hereof) by you or on account of Constructive Termination (as
      defined in Subsection (iv) hereof)), after a written demand for substantial
      performance is delivered to you by the Board, which demand specifically
      identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not
      substantially performed your duties or (b) the willful engaging by you in
      conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Corporation,
      monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of this Subsection, no act, or failure
      to
      act, on your part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done,
      by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your action or
      omission was in the best interest of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, you shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless
      and
      until there shall have been delivered to you a copy of a resolution duly adopted
      by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire
      membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such
      purpose (after reasonable notice to you and an opportunity for you, together
      with your counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good
      faith
      opinion of the Board you were guilty of conduct set forth above in this
      Subsection and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

    

    (iv) Constructive
      Termination.
      You
      shall be entitled to terminate your employment upon the occurrence of
      Constructive Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, "Constructive
      Termination" shall mean, without your expressed written consent, the occurrence
      after a Change in Control of the Corporation of any of the following
      circumstances unless, in the case of paragraphs (a), (e), (f), (g) or (h),
      such
      circumstances are fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination (as defined
      in Subsection (vi) hereof) specified in the Notice of Termination (as defined
      in
      Subsection (v) hereof) given in respect thereof:

    

    (a) the
      assignment to you of any duties inconsistent (unless in the nature of a
      promotion) with the position in the Corporation that you held immediately prior
      to the Change in Control of the Corporation, or a significant adverse reduction
      or alteration in the nature or status of your position, duties or
      responsibilities or the conditions of your employment from those in effect
      immediately prior to such Change in Control;

    
      
        3

        

        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b) a
      reduction by the Corporation in your annual base salary as in effect immediately
      prior to the Change in Control of the Corporation or as the same may be
      increased from time to time, except for across-the-board salary reductions
      similarly affecting all management personnel of the Corporation and all
      management personnel of any person in control of the Corporation;

    

    (c) the
      Corporation's requiring that your principal place of business be at an office
      located more than twenty (20) miles from the location where your principal
      place
      of business is located immediately prior to the Change in Control of the
      Corporation, except for required travel on the Corporation's business to an
      extent substantially consistent with your present business travel
      obligations;

    

    (d) the
      failure by the Corporation to pay to you any portion of your current
      compensation except pursuant to an across-the-board compensation deferral
      similarly affecting all management personnel of the Corporation and all
      management personnel of any person in control of the Corporation or to pay
      to
      you any portion of an installment of deferred compensation under any deferred
      compensation program of the Corporation within seven (7) days of the date such
      compensation is due;

    

    (e) the
      failure by the Corporation to continue in effect any compensation or benefit
      plan in which you participate immediately prior to the Change in Control of
      the
      Corporation that is material to your total compensation, unless an equitable
      arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been
      made with respect to such plan, or the failure by the Corporation to continue
      your par-ticipation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on
      a
      basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits
      provided and the level of your participation relative to other participants,
      as
      existed at the time of the Change in Control of the Corporation;

    

    (f) the
      failure by the Corporation to continue to provide you with benefits
      substantially similar to those enjoyed by you under any of the Corpora-tion's
      life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans in which
      you
      were participating at the time of the Change in Control of the Corporation,
      the
      taking of any action by the Corporation which would directly or indirectly
      materially reduce any of such benefits or deprive you of any material fringe
      benefit enjoyed by you at the time of the Change in Control of the Corporation,
      or the failure by the Corporation to provide you with the number of paid
      vacation days to which you are entitled on the basis of years of service with
      the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation's normal vacation policy
      in
      effect at the time of the Change in Control of the Corporation;

    

    (g) the
      failure of the Corporation to continue this Agreement in effect, or to obtain
      a
      satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this
      Agreement, as contemplated in Section 6 hereof; or

    

    (h) any
      purported termination of your employment that is not effected strictly in
      accordance with the terms of this Agreement and pursuant to a Notice of
      Termination satisfying the requirements of Subsection (v) hereof (and, if
      applicable, the requirements of Subsection (iii) hereof), which purported
      termination shall not be effective for purposes of this Agreement.

    

    Your
      right to terminate your employment pursuant to this Subsection shall not be
      affected by your incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Your continued
      employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect
      to, any circumstance constituting Constructive Termination
      hereunder.

    
      
        4

      accordance with Section 7. "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice that
      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 your employment under the provision so
      indicated.

    

    (vi) Date
      of Termination, Etc.
      "Date
      of Termination" shall mean (a) if your employment is terminated for Disability,
      thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that you shall
      not have returned to the full-time performance of your duties during such thirty
      (30)-day period), and (b) if your employment is terminated pursuant to
      Subsection (iii) or (iv) hereof or for any other reason (other than Disability),
      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, and in the case of a termination on account
      of
      Constructive Termination shall not be less than fifteen (15) nor more than
      sixty
      (60) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given); provided, however,
      that if within fifteen (15) days after any Notice of Termination is given,
      or,
      if later, prior to the Date of Termination (as determined without regard to
      this
      proviso), the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other
      party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, then the Date of
      Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is finally determined, either
      by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a binding arbitration award;
      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 Corporation
      will continue to pay you your full compensation in effect when the notice giving
      rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, base salary),
      and
      continue you as a participant in all compensation, benefit and insurance plans
      in which you were participating when the notice giving rise to the dispute
      was
      given until the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with this Subsection.
      Amounts paid under this Subsection, in addition to all other amounts due under
      this Agreement, shall not be offset against or reduce any other amounts due
      under this Agreement and shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by
      you
      as the result of employment by another employer.

      employment, as the case may be, provided that such period or termination occurs
      during the term of this Agreement or, if earlier, within one year following
      such
      Change in Control of the Corporation; provided further, however, that you shall
      be entitled to the benefits described in Subsection (vi) hereof whether or
      not
      your employment with the Corporation is terminated:

    

    (i) During
      any period that you fail to perform your full-time duties with the Corporation
      as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, you shall continue
      to receive your base salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of any
      such period, reduced to the extent disability benefits are actually received
      by
      you during this period, until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
      4
      (ii) hereof Thereafter, or in the event your employment shall be terminated
      by
      reason of your death, your benefits shall be determined under the Corporation's
      retire-ment, insurance, disability and other compensation programs then in
      effect in accordance with the terms of such programs.

    
      
        5

        

        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (ii) If
      your
      employment shall be terminated by the Corporation for Cause or by you other
      than
      on account of Constructive Termination, the Corporation shall pay you your
      full
      base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time
      Notice of Termination is given, plus all other amounts to which you are entitled
      under any compensation or benefit plan of the Corporation at the time such
      payments are due, and the Corporation shall have no further obligations to
      you
      under this Agreement.

    

    (iii) If
      your
      employment by the Corporation shall be terminated by you on account of
      Constructive Termination or by the Corporation other than for Cause or
      Disability, then you shall be entitled to the benefits provided
      below:

    

    (a) no
      later
      than the fifth day following the Date of Termination, the Corporation shall
      pay
      to you your full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in
      effect at the time Notice of Termination is given, plus all other amounts to
      which you are entitled under any incentive, bonus or other compensation plan
      of
      the Corporation, at the time such payments are due;

    

    (b) in
      lieu
      of any further salary payments to you for periods subsequent to the Date of
      Termination, the Corporation shall pay as severance pay to you, at the time
      specified in Subsection (iv) hereof, a lump sum severance payment (together
      with
      the payments provided in paragraph (c), below, the "Severance Payments") equal
      to two times the sum of (1) your annual salary rate (including for this purpose
      any deferred salary) as in effect as of the Date of Termination or immediately
      prior to the Change in Control of the Corporation, whichever is greater, and
      (2)
      your annual target bonus under the applicable bonus or incentive compensation
      plans in respect of the calendar years preceding that in which occurs the Date
      of Termination or that in which occurs the Change in Control;

    

    (c) in
      lieu
      of any payments under any bonus or annual incentive compensation plan in effect
      for the year in which your Date of Termination occurs, the Corporation shall
      pay
      you in a lump sum, at the time specified in Subsection (iv) hereof, a pro rata
      portion (based on the number of whole months, with a partial month treated
      as a
      whole month, elapsed since the first day of the calendar year in which the
      Date
      of Termination occurs), of the target amount of all contingent awards granted
      under such plans for all uncompleted periods;

    

    (d) in
      lieu
      of shares of common stock of the Corporation ("Corporation Shares") issuable
      upon the exercise of outstanding options ("Options"), if any, granted to you
      under any Corporation stock option plan (which Options shall be cancelled upon
      the making of the payment, referred to below), you shall receive within the
      time
      provided for in Subsection (iv) hereof an amount in cash equal to the product
      of(A) the excess of, the higher of the closing price of Corporation Shares
      as
      reported on The New York Stock Exchange on or nearest the Date of Termination
      or
      the highest per share price for Corporation Shares actually paid in connection
      with any Change in Control of the Corporation, over the per share exercise
      price
      of each Option held by you (whether or not then fully exercisable), times (B)
      the number of Corporation Shares covered by each such Option;

    

    (e) in
      addition to any retirement benefits to which you are entitled under the Ball
      Corporation Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Qualified Plan") or any
      successor plans thereto, the Corporation shall pay to you in a lump. sum, at
      the
      time specified in Subsection (iv) hereof, an amount equal to the actuarial
      present value of the excess of(l) over (2), where (1) equals the aggregate
      retirement pension (determined as

    
      
        6

        

        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    a
      straight life annuity) to which you would have been entitled under the terns
      of
      the Qualified Plan (without regard to any amendment to the Qualified Plan made
      subsequent to a Change in Control of the Corporation and on or prior to the
      Date
      of Termination, which amendment adversely affects in any manner the computation
      of retirement benefits under such plan), determined as if you had accumulated
      thereunder two additional years of Benefit Service (after any termination
      pursuant to Section 4) at your rate of Salary in effect on the Date of
      Termination and where (2) equals the aggregate retirement pension (determined
      as
      a straight life annuity) to which you are entitled pursuant to the provisions
      of
      the Qualified Plan. All defined terms used in this paragraph (e) shall have
      the
      same meaning as in the Qualified Plan, unless otherwise defined herein or
      otherwise required by the context;

    

    (f) for
      a
      period beginning with your termination of employment and not to exceed the
      earlier of two years or until your commencement of employment with a subsequent
      employer, the Corporation shall arrange to provide you with life, disability,
      accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those which
      you
      were receiving immediately prior to the Notice of Termination. Benefits
      otherwise receivable by you pursuant to this paragraph (f) shall be reduced
      to
      the extent comparable benefits are actually received by you from any and all
      successor employers during the period following your termination, and any such
      benefits actually received by you shall be reported to the
      Corporation;

    

    (g) the
      Corporation shall pay to you all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred
      by
      you as a result of such termination (including all such fees and expenses,
      if
      any, incurred in contesting or disputing any such termination or in seeking
      to
      obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement); unless
      the
      decision-maker in any proceeding, contest or dispute arising hereunder makes
      a
      formal finding that you did not have a reasonable basis for instituting such
      proceeding, contest or dispute;

    

    (h) the
      Corporation shall provide you with individual outplacement services in
      accordance with the general custom and practice generally accorded to an
      executive of your position.

    

    (iv) The
      payments provided for in Subsections (iii) (b) and (c), above, and Subsection
      (vi) below, shall be made not later than the fifth day following the Date of
      Termination; provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot
      be
      finally determined on or before such day, the Corporation shall pay to you
      on
      such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Corporation, of the
      minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments
      (together with interest at the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the
      Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) as soon as the amount
      thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth day after
      the
      Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of
      the
      estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been
      due,
      such excess shall constitute a loan by the Corporation to you, payable on the
      fifth day after demand by the Corporation (together with interest at the rate
      provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).

    

    (v) Except
      as
      provided in Subsection (iii)(f) hereof, you shall not be required to mitigate
      the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5 by seeking other
      employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided
      for in this Section 5 be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result
      of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against
      any
      amount claimed to be owed by you to the Corporation, or
      otherwise.

    (vi) (a)
      Whether or not you become entitled to the Severance Payments, if any of the
      payments or benefits received or to be received by you in connection with a
      Change in Control or your termination of employment (whether pursuant to the
      terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the
      Corporation, any person (as defined in Section 2(i)) whose actions result in
      a
      Change in Control or any person affiliated with the Corporation or such person)
      (such payments or benefits, excluding the Gross-Up Payment (as defined below),
      being hereinafter referred to as the "Total Payments") will be subject to any
      excise tax imposed under section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), the
      Corporation shall pay to you an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment")
      such
      that the net amount retained by you, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the
      Total Payments and any federal, state and local income and employment taxes
      and
      Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total
      Payments.

    

    (b) For
      purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to
      the
      Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments
      shall be treated as "parachute payments" (within the meaning of section
      280G(b)(2) of the Code) unless, in the opinion of tax counsel (the "Tax
      Counsel") reasonably acceptable to you and selected by the accounting firm
      which
      was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Corporation's independent
      auditor (the "Auditor"), such payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do
      not
      constitute parachute payments, including by reason of section 280G(b)(4)(A)
      of
      the Code, (ii) all "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of section
      280G(b)(l) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless,
      in
      the opinion of the Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments (in whole or
      in
      part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered (within
      the meaning of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code) in excess of the base amount
      (as defined in section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable
      compensation, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the
      value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be
      determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of sections
      280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. For purposes of determining the amount of the
      Gross-Up Payment, you shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest
      marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the
      Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest
      marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of your residence on the
      Date of Termination (or if there is no Date of Termination, then the date that
      the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of this Section), net of the
      maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction
      of such state and local taxes.

    

    (c) In
      the
      event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount
      taken into account hereunder at the time of termination of your employment,
      you
      shall repay to the Corporation, at the time that the amount of such reduction
      in
      Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment
      attributable to such reduction (plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment
      attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income and
      employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Executive
      to the extent that such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or
      a
      federal, state or local income or employment tax deduction) plus interest on
      the
      amount of such repayment at 120% of the rate provided in section t 274(b)(2)(B)
      of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount
      taken into account hereunder (including by reason of any payment the existence
      or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment),
      the Corporation shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such
      excess (plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by you
      with

    
      
        8

        

        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    respect
      to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally
      determined. You and the Corporation shall each reasonably cooperate with the
      other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning
      the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to the Total
      Payments.

    

    (vii) As
      soon
      as practicable, following a Takeover Threat, or in any event, within twenty
      (20)
      business days thereafter, the Corporation agrees it will establish and fund
      a
      so-called "Rabbi Trust" in an amount sufficient to provide for all cash payments
      of benefits specified in Section 5, assuming that you were entitled to such
      benefits, plus an additional $50,000 to cover legal fees referred to in Section
      5(iii)(g).

    

    
      	 	
              6.

            	
              Successors;
                Binding Agreement.

            

    

    

    (i) The
      Corporation will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
      merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
      and/or assets of the Corporation to expressly assume and agree to perform this
      Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would
      be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of
      the
      Corporation to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness
      of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
      you
      to compensation from the Corporation in the same amount and on the same terms
      to
      which you would be entitled hereunder if you terminate your employment on
      account of Constructive Termination following a Change in Control of the
      Corporation, except that for the purposes of implementing the foregoing, the
      date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date
      of
      Termination. As used in this Agreement, "Corporation" shall mean the Corporation
      as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as
      aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
      law, or otherwise.

    

    (ii) This
      Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by you and your
      personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
      distributees, devisees and legatees. If you should die while any amount would
      still be payable to you hereunder had you continued to live, all such amounts,
      unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms
      of
      this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no
      such designee, to your estate.

    

    7.    Notice.
      For the
      purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for
      in
      this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
      when delivered or mailed by the United States certified or registered mail,
      return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses
      set forth on the first page of this Agreement, provided that all notices to
      the
      Corporation shall be directed to the attention of the Board with a copy to
      the
      Secretary of the Corporation, or to such other address as either party may
      have
      furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice
      of
      change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

    

    8.    Miscellaneous.
      No
      provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such
      waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you
      and
      such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either
      party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or
      compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed
      by
      such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions
      or
      conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or
      representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the
      subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly
      set
      forth in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and
      performance of this Agreement shall be

      by the laws of the State of Indiana without regard to its conflicts of law
      principles. All references to section of the Exchange Act or the Code shall
      be
      deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections. Any payments
      provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required
      under federal, state or local law. The obligations of the Corporation under
      Section 5 shall survive the expiration of the term of this
      Agreement.

    

    9.     Validity.
      The
      invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not
      affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement,
      which shall remain in full force and effect.

    

    10.     Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
      to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
      instrument.

    

    11.     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 in Muncie, Indiana, in accordance with the roles 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
      you
      shall be entitled to seek specific performance of your 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.

    

    12     Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect
      of
      the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements,
      promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or
      warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative
      of any party hereto; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect
      of
      the subject matter contained herein is hereby terminated and
      cancelled.
