In the event of a Triggering Event, then the Employer shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, if applicable:

(a)           immediately pay to the Executive, in a single lump sum payment, a cash amount equal to two (2) times each of (i) the Executive’s Base Salary, (ii) the Executive’s average yearly automobile allowance paid during the prior two (2) years and (iii) the Executive’s average yearly bonus compensation paid during the prior two (2) years, which amount shall be calculated as of the date of the Change in Control of the Corporation; provided, however, that if said payment constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation pursuant to IRC 409A and if the Executive is a “specified employee” as that term is defined under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), the lump sum payment shall be made on the first business day of the seventh month following the date of the Change in Control of the Corporation; and

(b)           maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of (i) the expiration of twenty-four (24) months from the date a Change in Control of the Corporation has occurred or (ii) the date of the Executive’s full time employment by another employer (provided that the Executive is entitled under the terms of such employment to benefits substantially similar to those described in this subparagraph (b)), at no cost to the Executive, the Executive’s continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance, health and accident, and disability plans in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the date of the occurrence of the Change in Control of the Corporation, provided that in the event that the Executive’s participation in any plan, program or arrangement as provided in this subparagraph (b) is prohibited by the terms of the plan or by the Employer for legal or other bona fide reasons, or during such period any such plan, program or arrangement is discontinued or the benefits thereunder are materially reduced for all employees, the Employer shall arrange to provide the Executive with benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive would have received had his employment continued throughout such period to the extent such benefits can be provided at a commercially reasonable cost.  In the event such benefits cannot be provided at a commercially reasonable cost, the Employer shall pay the Executive that portion of the premiums or other costs of such plans allocable to the Executive in the year prior to the Date of Termination for the period set forth in this subparagraph (b).  Nothing provided for in this subparagraph (b) shall be construed as to provide for continued participation by the Executive in any stock option or restricted stock plan or any cash incentive or bonus plan of the employer.

7.  LIMITATION OF BENEFITS UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

If the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 hereof, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which Executive has the right to receive from the Employer, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall be reduced, in the manner determined by the Executive, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits under Section 6 being non-deductible to the Employer pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.  The determination of any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 6 shall be based upon the opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Employer’s independent public accountants and paid by the Employer.  Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Employer and the Executive; shall promptly prepare the foregoing opinion, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the Date of Termination; and may use such actuaries as such counsel deems necessary or advisable for the purpose.  In the event that the Employer and/or the Executive do not agree with the opinion of such counsel, (i) Employer shall pay to the Executive the maximum amount of payments and benefits pursuant to Section 5, as selected by the Executive, which such opinion indicates that there is a high probability do not result in any of such payments and benefits being non-deductible to the Employer and subject to the imposition of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code and (ii) the Employer may request, and Executive shall have the right to demand that the Employer request, a ruling from the IRS as to whether the disputed payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 hereof have such consequences.  Any such request for a ruling from the IRS shall be promptly prepared and filed by the Employer, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of the opinion of counsel referred to above, and shall be subject to Executive’s approval prior to filing, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Employer and Executive agree to be bound by any ruling received from the IRS and to make appropriate payments to each other to reflect any such rulings, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.  Nothing contained herein shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which the Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment under any circumstances other than as specified in this Section 7, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 6 below zero.

8.  
MITIGATION; COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE, EXCLUSIVELY OF
BENEFITS.

(a)           The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any benefits hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise nor, except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement, shall the amount of any such benefits be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination or otherwise.

(b)           The Executive hereby agrees that, following the termination of his employment under this Agreement for any reason, other than following a Change in Control of the Corporation, he will not, for a period of time equal to what would have been the then remaining term of this Agreement absent his termination of employment, directly or indirectly and in any way, whether as principal or as director, officer, employee, consultant, agent, partner or stockholder to another entity (other than by the ownership of a passive investment interest of not more than five percent (5%) in a company with publicly traded equity securities), (i) own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any business located within 75 miles of the Corporation’s main office and prior to a Change in Control of the Corporation that competes with any business of the Employer; (ii) interfere with, solicit on behalf of another or attempt to entice away from the Employer any project, loan arrangement that the Employer is actively negotiating with any other party, or any prospective business opportunity that the Employer has identified; or, (iii) for himself or another, hire, attempt to hire, or assist in or facilitate in any way the hiring of any employee of the Employer.  For the sake of clarification, in the event of a Change in Control of the Corporation, the covenants described above in this Section 8(b) will not apply to the Executive regardless of whether or not the Executive voluntarily resigned or was terminated and regardless of whether or not the Executive is entitled to the lump sum cash payment described in Section 6(A).

 
8

 
(c)           The specific arrangements referred to herein are not intended to exclude any other benefits which may be available to the Executive upon a termination of employment with the Employer pursuant to employee benefit plans of the Employer or otherwise.

(d)      The Executive has advised the Employer that, under the terms of a stock option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with MainSource Financial Group, Inc. (“Mainsource), the Executive is purportedly restricted from working for a competitor financial institution which is located within Decatur County Indiana or any county contiguous thereto.  The Executive is of the opinion that he is not prohibited by the Option Agreement or other agreements with Mainsource from being employed by The Employer.  However, should Mainsource seek in a court of law to prevent or enjoin the Executive from being employed by the Employer, the Employer will: (1) reimburse the Executive up to $20,000 for legal expenses incurred in contesting any such litigation; and (2) pay to the Executive his base salary under this agreement during the period, if any, that he is enjoined from working for the Employer, for a period not to exceed one hundred and twenty days.  In the event that the Executive is enjoined for more than one hundred and twenty days from working for the Employer or in the event that a court issues a final order (whether or not it is appealable) enjoining the Executive from working for the Employer, either the Employer or the Executive may terminate this agreement without any further obligations to the other.

9. WITHHOLDING.

All payments required to be made by the Employer hereunder to the Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Employer may reasonably determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable laws or regulation.

16. VALIDITY.

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