    FIRST
AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OF CHARLES A. LEFEBVRE

    

    This
First Amendment to the Employment Agreement is made and entered into on February
29, 2008, by and between First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a
corporation with its principal place of business located in Mattoon, Illinois,
and Charles A. LeFebvre (“Manager”).

     

    WHEREAS, the Company and
Manager are parties to an Employment Agreement dated as of April 22, 2007 (the
“Employment Agreement”) and now desire to amend the Employment
Agreement.

     

    NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree to amend the Employment Agreement as follows,
effective as of April 22, 2007:

     

    By
amending Section 2.02 to read as follows:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              2.02

            	
              Incentive
      Compensation.  Manager shall not participate in the
      First-Mid Illinois Bancshares, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan
      2007.  Beginning as of January 1, 2008, Manager shall
      participate in the Incentive Compensation Plan in accordance with the
      terms and conditions of such Plan.  Pursuant to the Plan,
      Manager shall have an opportunity to receive incentive compensation of up
      to a maximum of 25% of Manager’s annual base salary.  The
      incentive compensation payable for a particular fiscal year will be based
      upon the attainment of the performance goals in effect under the Plan for
      such year and will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan and at
      the sole discretion of the Board.  In addition, beginning April
      22, 2007, for each new Trust and Wealth Management relationship developed
      by Manager, Manager shall be entitled to receive 25% of the estimated
      annual revenues the Company is likely to receive during the first year
      following acceptance of the relationship.  This amount will be
      paid as soon as practicable following the end of the fiscal quarter in
      which the customer relationship is
accepted.

            

    

     

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties have executed this First Amendment to the Employment Agreement on the 29
day of February, 2008.
