principal office in New Castle, Indiana, and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ("Executive"), an
individual residing in the State of Indiana.
WHEREAS, the Bank wishes to assure itself of the services of Executive for
the period provided in this Agreement, and Executive is willing to serve in the
employ of the Bank on a full-time basis for said period; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Bank has determined that the best

and special benefits following any change of control of the Bank;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
the parties hereby agree as follows:

----------
Executive agrees to remain in the employ of the Bank, for the period
stated in paragraph 3 hereof and upon the other terms and conditions
herein provided.
2. Position and Responsibilities. The Bank employs Executive and
--------------------------------
Executive agrees to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Bank for the term and on the conditions hereinafter set forth.
Executive agrees to perform such services not inconsistent with his
position as shall from time to time be assigned to him by the Bank's
Board of Directors.
3. Term and Duties.
---------------
(a) Term of Employment. The term of this Agreement shall be for a
-------------------
period of thirty-six (36) months and any extensions. During each
calendar year hereafter, the Board of Directors of the Bank
("Board") shall review the performance of the Executive, and such
Board shall determine whether to extend the term of the Agreement
beyond its expiration date.
(b) Duties. During the period of his employment hereunder and except
------
for illnesses, reasonable vacation periods, and reasonable leaves
of absence, Executive shall devote his business time, attention,
skill, and efforts to the faithful performance of his duties
hereunder; provided, however, that with the approval of the Board
of Directors of the Bank, from time to time, Executive may serve,
or continue to serve, on the boards of directors of, and hold any
other offices or positions in companies or organizations, which,
in such Board's judgment, will not present any material conflict
of interest with the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates or divisions, or
unfavorably affect the performance of Executive's duties pursuant
to this Agreement, or will not violate any applicable statute or
regulation.
4. Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses.
------------------------------------------
(a) Compensation. The Bank agrees to pay the Executive during the
------------
term of this Agreement a salary at the rate of $255,000 per
annum; provided, that the rate of such salary shall be reviewed
by the Board of Directors of the Bank not less often than
annually. Such rate of salary, or increased rate of salary, if
any, as the case may be, may be further increased (but not
decreased) from time to time in such amount as the Board in its
discretion may decide. Such salary shall be payable in accordance
with the customary payroll practices of the Bank, but in no event
less frequently than monthly, and any bonus shall be payable in
the manner specified by such committee or such Board of Directors
at the time any such bonus is awarded.

under this Agreement, all such voluntary absences to count as vacation
time; provided that:

with the policies as periodically established by the Board of
Directors for senior management officials of the Bank, which
shall in no event be less than four weeks per annum.
(b) The timing of vacations shall be scheduled in a reasonable manner

pay at such time or times and upon such terms and conditions as
the Board of Directors in its discretion may determine.
(d) In addition, Executive shall be entitled to an annual sick leave
as established by the Board of Directors for senior management

subsequent years only to the extent authorized by the Board of
Directors. Upon termination of his employment, Executive shall
not be entitled to receive any additional compensation from the
Bank for unused sick leave.
7. Benefits Payable Upon Disability.
--------------------------------
(a) Primary Disability Benefits. In the event of the disability (as
----------------------------
hereinafter defined) of Executive, the Bank shall continue to pay
Executive the monthly compensation provided in paragraph 4 hereof
during the period of his disability provided, however, that in
the event Executive is disabled for a continuous period exceeding
eighteen (18) calendar months, the Bank may, at its election,
terminate the Agreement, in which event Executive shall be
entitled to receive the benefits described in paragraph 7(b).
As used in this Agreement, the term "disability" shall mean the
complete inability of Executive to perform his duties under this
Agreement as
-3-
determined by an independent physician selected with the approval
of the Bank and the Executive.
(b) Secondary Disability Benefits. The Bank shall pay to the
-------------------------------
Executive a monthly disability benefit equal to sixty (60)
percent of his monthly salary at the time he became disabled.
Payment of such disability benefit shall commence on the last day
of the month following the month for which the final payment
under paragraph 7(a) was made and cease with the earlier of (i)
the payment for the month in which the Executive dies or (ii) the
payment for the month preceding the month in which occurs
Executive's normal retirement date under the Bank's pension plan.

---------------------------
7(a) or 7(b) shall be reduced by any amounts paid to the
Executive under any other disability program maintained by the
Bank.
(d) Services During Disability. During the period Executive is
----------------------------
entitled to receive payments under paragraphs 7(a) and (b), the
Executive shall, to the extent that he is physically and mentally
able to do so, furnish information and assistance to the Bank,
and, in addition, upon reasonable request in writing on behalf of
the Board of Directors, or an executive officer designated by
such Board, from time to time, make himself available to the Bank
to undertake reasonable assignments consistent with the dignity,
importance, and scope of his prior position and his physical and
mental health. During such period of service, Executive shall be
responsible and report to, and be subject to the supervision of,
the Board of Directors of the Bank or an executive officer
designated by the Board, as to the method and manner in which he
shall perform such assignments, subject always to the provisions
of this paragraph 7(d), and shall keep such Board, or such
executive officer, appropriately informed of his progress in each
such assignment.
8. Payments to Executive Upon Termination of Employment.
----------------------------------------------------
(a) Event of Termination. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
----------------------
Termination (as hereinafter defined) during the period of
Executive's employment under this Agreement, the provisions of
this paragraph 8 shall apply. As used in this Agreement, an
"Event of Termination" shall mean that termination by the Bank of
Executive's employment hereunder for any reason other than
"cause" or retirement at or after the normal retirement age under
a qualified pension plan maintained by the Bank or termination
pursuant to Paragraph 7. A termination for "cause" shall include
termination because of the Executive's personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty
involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated
duties, willful
-4-
violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic
violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order,
or material breach of any provision of this Agreement. In the
event of termination for cause the Executive shall have no right
to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after
such termination.
(b) Event of Termination Without Change of Control. Upon the
---------------------------------------------------
occurrence of an Event of Termination other than after a Change
of Control (as hereinafter defined), the Bank shall pay to the
Executive monthly, or in the event of his subsequent death, to
his designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, or to his estate, as
the case may be, as severance pay or liquidated damages, or both,
during the period below described a sum equal to the highest
monthly rate of salary paid to the Executive at any time under
this Agreement. Such payments shall commence on the last day of
the month following the date of said event of termination and
shall continue until the date this Agreement would have expired
but for said occurrence, with such occurrence being viewed as a
determination by the Bank not to extend the Agreement as provided
for in paragraph 3 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall all such payments made pursuant to
this subparagraph 8(b) exceed three times the final annual rate
of salary being paid to Executive as of the date of termination.
(c) Event of Termination In Connection with Change of Control. If
------------------------------------------------------------
either, (1) after a "Change of Control" (as hereinafter defined)
of the Bank or Parent (as hereinafter defined), either (A) the
Bank shall terminate the employment of the Executive during the
period of employment under this Agreement for any reason other
than "cause," as defined in Paragraph 8(a), retirement at or
after the normal retirement age under a qualified pension plan
maintained by the Bank or termination pursuant to Paragraph 7, or
otherwise change the present capacity or circumstances in which
the Executive is employed as set forth in Paragraph 2 of this
Agreement or cause a reduction in the Executive's
responsibilities or authority or compensation or other benefits
provided under this Agreement (including failure to elect or
reelect the Executive to the Board of Directors of the Bank or
Parent) without the Executive's written consent, or (B) the
Executive voluntarily terminates his employment hereunder for any
reason within thirty (30) days following a Change of Control of
the Bank or Parent, or (2) during the period that begins on the
date six months before a Change of Control and ends on the later
of the first anniversary of the Change of Control or the
expiration date of this Agreement, the Bank changes the present
capacity or circumstances in which the Executive is employed as
set forth in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement or causes a reduction
in the Executive's responsibilities or authority or compensation
or other benefits provided under this Agreement (including
failure to elect
-5-
or reelect the Executive to the Board of Directors of the Bank or
Parent) without the Executive's written consent, then in the case
of either (1) or (2), the Bank shall pay to the Executive and
provide the Executive, or his beneficiaries, dependents and
estate, as the case may be, with the following:
(i) The Bank shall promptly pay to the Executive a sum equal to
2.99 times the average annual compensation payable by the
Bank and includable by the Executive in gross income for the
most recent five taxable years ending before the date on
which the ownership or control of the Bank or Parent changed
or the portion of this period during which the Executive was
an employee of the Bank.
(ii) During a period of thirty-six (36) calendar months beginning
with the Event of Termination, the Executive, his
dependents, beneficiaries and estate shall continue to be
covered under all employee benefit plans of the Bank,
including without limitation the Bank's pension plan, as if
the Executive were still employed during such period under
this Agreement.
(iii) If and to the extent that benefits of service credit for
benefits provided by paragraph 8(c)(ii) shall not be payable
or provided under any such plans to the Executive, his
dependents, beneficiaries and estate, by reason of his no
longer being an employee of the Bank as a result of
termination of employment, the Bank shall itself pay or
provide for payment of such benefits and services credit for
benefits to the Executive, his dependents, beneficiaries and
estate. Any such payment relating to retirement shall
commence on a date selected by the Executive which must be a
date on which payments under the Bank's qualified pension
plan or successor plan may commence.
(iv) If the Executive elects to have benefits commence prior to
the normal retirement age under the qualified pension plan
or any successor plan maintained by the Bank and thereby
incurs an actuarial reduction in his monthly benefits under
such plan, the Bank shall itself pay or provide for payment
to the Executive the difference between the amount that
would have been paid if the benefits commenced at normal
retirement age and the actuarially reduced amount paid upon
the early commencement of benefits.
(v) The Bank shall pay all legal fees and expenses which the
Executive may incur as a result of a contest concerning the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the
Executive shall be entitled to receive interest thereon for
the period of any delay in
-6-
payment from the date such payment was due at the rate
determined by adding two hundred basis points to the six
month Treasury ▇▇▇▇ rate. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, in no event shall the Bank be required to: (a)
pay legal fees or expenses incurred by Executive to enforce
the Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction
renders a final judgment in favor of the Executive; or (b)
advance legal fees or expenses incurred by Executive to
enforce the contract unless the Executive is terminated
without Just Cause after a change of control of Bank or its
parent corporation, Ameriana Bancorp ("Parent") not
recommended by Parent's board of directors. Provided
further, that the Executive shall be required to reimburse
the Bank for the legal fees and expenses advanced pursuant
to this subparagraph if a court of competent jurisdiction
does not render a final judgment in favor of the Executive.
(vi) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount
of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking
other employment or otherwise nor shall any amounts received
from other employment or otherwise by the Executive offset
in any manner the obligations of the Bank hereunder.
(vii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8(c)
herein to the contrary, in no event shall payments and
benefits made pursuant to this Section 8(c) be made which
would result in such payments being classified as an "excess
parachute payment" as such term is defined under Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
("Code"). In the event that such payments and benefits, if
made, would be considered as an "excess parachute payment",
such payments shall be reduced by such dollar amount as is
required so that the total value of such payments and
benefits when made shall not be considered as an "excess
parachute payment".
(d) Change of Control. A "Change of Control" shall mean any one of
-----------------
the following events: (i) the acquisition of ownership, holding
or power to vote more than 25% of the Bank's or the Parent's
voting stock, (ii) the acquisition of the ability to control the
election of a majority of the Bank's or the Parent's directors,
(iii) the acquisition of a controlling influence over the
management or policies of the Bank or the Parent by any person or
by persons acting as a "group" (within the meaning of Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), or (iv) during any
period of two consecutive years, individuals (the "Continuing
Directors") who at the beginning of such period constitute the
Board of Directors of the Bank or the Parent (the "Existing
Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least
-7-
two-thirds thereof, provided that any individual whose election
or nomination for election as a member of the Existing Board was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Continuing
Directors then in office shall be considered a Continuing
Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ownership or control of
the Bank by the Parent itself shall not constitute a Change of
Control. Further, "Change of Control" shall not include the
acquisition of securities by an employee benefit plan of the Bank
or the Parent. For purposes of this paragraph only, the term
"person" refers to an individual or a corporation, partnership,
trust, association, joint venture, pool, syndicate, sole
proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of
entity not specifically listed herein.
(e) Suspension and Special Regulatory Rules.
---------------------------------------
(i) The Bank's board of directors may terminate the Executive's
employment at any time, but any termination by the Bank's
board of directors other than termination for "Just Cause",
shall not prejudice the Executive's right to compensation or
other benefits under the Agreement. The Executive shall have
no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any
period after termination for "Just Cause". Termination for
"Just Cause" shall mean termination for personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty
involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform
stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule,
regulation (other than a law, rule or regulation relating to
a traffic violation or similar offense), final
cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision
of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of 8(c) and (d)
hereof, in the event this Agreement is terminated for Just
Cause, the Bank shall only be obligated to continue to pay
Executive his salary up to the date of termination, and the
vested rights of the parties shall not be affected.
(ii) If the Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by a
notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1818 (e)(3) and (g)(1)) the
Bank's obligations under this contract shall be suspended as
of the date of service unless stayed by appropriate
proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the
Bank may in its discretion (i) pay the Executive all or part
of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations
were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in
-8-
wholeor in part) any of its obligations which were
suspended.
(iii) If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by
an order issued under Sections 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA") (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(4)
and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Bank under this
Agreement shall terminate, as of the effective date of the
order, but the vested rights of the parties shall not be
affected.
(iv) If the Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of
FDIA), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate
as of the date of default, but this subparagraph shall not
affect any vested rights of the parties.
(f) Power of the Board of Directors to Terminate the Executive. The
-----------------------------------------------------------
Board of Directors of the Bank may terminate the Executive at any
time; in the event of such termination, the provisions of this
paragraph 8 shall fully apply.
(g) Any payments made to the employee pursuant to this agreement, or
otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance
with 12 USC 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
(h) Post-termination Health Insurance. If the Executive's employment
----------------------------------
terminates with the Bank for any reason other than Just Cause,
the Executive shall be entitled to purchase from the Bank, at his
own expense which shall not exceed applicable COBRA rates, family
medical insurance under any group health plan that the Bank
maintains for its employees. This right shall be (i) in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any other rights that the Executive has
under this Agreement and (ii) shall continue until the Executive
first becomes eligible for participation in Medicare.
9. Source of Payments. All payments provided in paragraphs 4, 7, and 8
------------------
shall be paid in cash from the general funds of the Bank, and no
special or separate fund shall be established and no other segregation
of assets shall be made to assure payment. Executive shall have no
right, title, or interest whatever in or to any investments which the
Bank may make to aid the Bank in meeting its obligations hereunder.
10. Noncompetition. The Executive hereby expressly covenants and agrees
--------------
that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year
thereafter, he shall not, unless acting with the prior written consent
of the Bank, directly or indirectly,

firm, corporation or entity, own, manage, operate, join, control,
finance or participate in the ownership, management operation or
control of, or be connected with as a director, officer, employee,
consultant, partner, stockholder (other than to the extent he is a

managing or controlling a bank or banks (which term shall include, but
is not limited to, mortgage companies, savings and loan associations
and savings banks), in any county where the Bank and its Parent or any
other subsidiary of either, has an office or branch and the contiguous

Executive confirms that such information constitutes the exclusive
property of the Bank. Executive shall not otherwise knowingly act or
conduct himself (i) to the material detriment of the Bank, its

employment agreement between the Bank or any predecessor of the Bank
and Executive.

shall preclude the Bank from consolidating or merging into or with, or
transferring all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation which assumes this Agreement and all obligations and
undertakings of the Bank hereunder. Upon such a consolidation, merger,
or transfer of assets or assumption, the term "the Bank" as used
