(i) The Exercise Price of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant of such Option.
 
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the outstanding shares of stock of another corporation are changed into or exchanged for shares of Common Stock without monetary consideration to that other corporation, then, subject to the approval of the Board, Options may be granted in exchange for unexercised, unexpired stock options of the other corporation and the exercise price of the Optioned Shares subject to each Option so granted may be fixed at a price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time such Option is granted if said exercise price has been computed to be not less than the exercise price set forth in the stock option of the other corporation, with appropriate adjustment to reflect the exchange ratio of the shares of stock of the other corporation into the shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
(iii) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator and may consist entirely of (A) cash, (B) check, (C) Mature Shares, (D) Qualified Note, or (E) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. The Administrator may also permit Optionees, either on a selective or aggregate basis, to simultaneously exercise Options and sell the shares of Common Stock thereby acquired, pursuant to a brokerage or similar arrangement, approved in advance by the Administrator, and use the proceeds from such sale as payment of part or all of the exercise price of such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a method of payment may not be used if it causes the Company to: (A) recognize compensation expense for financial reporting purposes (unless waived by the Administrator); (B) violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any regulations adopted pursuant thereto; or (C) violate Regulation O, promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
 
(b) Vesting.    Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable and shall vest at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Vesting Event, an Option that is outstanding on the date of the Vesting Event with respect to such Option shall become exercisable on such date (whether or not previously vested).
 

 
8

 

(c) Term of Options.    No Option shall have a term in excess of 10 years measured from the Date of Grant of such Option.
 
(d) Procedure for Exercise.    An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Administrator in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment of the applicable Exercise Price for the Share being exercised has been received by the Administrator. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Subsection (a)(iii) above. In the event of a cashless exercise, the broker shall not be deemed to be an agent of the Administrator.
 
(e) Effect of Termination of Service. The effect of termination of Service on an Option Award shall be as prescribed by the applicable Option Agreement; provided, that in the absence of provisions in the Option Agreement to the contrary, the provisions related to termination of Service applicable to Incentive Stock Options set forth in Section 7(e) of this Plan shall apply to each Stock Option.
 
(f) Authority of Administrator. To the extent that the Company does not violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any regulations adopted pursuant thereto or Regulation O, promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), the Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either at the time an Option is granted or at any time while the Option remains outstanding, to:
 
(i) extend the period of time for which the Option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee’s cessation of Service from the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for that Option to such greater period of time as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the Option term; and/or
 
(ii) permit the Option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested Shares for which such Option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested had the Optionee continued in Service.
 
(g) Shareholder Rights.    Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such certificate (if certificated) promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of the issuance of the stock, except as provided in Section 10 below.

(h) Non-transferability of Options.    Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator may permit an Optionee to transfer any Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option to one or more of the Optionee’s immediate family members or to trusts established in whole or in part for the benefit of the Optionee and/or one or more of such immediate family members and the Administrator may permit an Optionee to transfer an Incentive Stock Option only if such transfer does not result in the Incentive Stock Option becoming a Non-Statutory Stock Option pursuant to the Code.
 
7. Incentive Stock Options.    The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Stock Options, and these terms shall, as to such Incentive Stock Options, supersede any conflicting terms in Section 6 above. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Stock Options when issued under the Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section.  The total number of Incentive Stock Options that may be awarded under the Plan may not exceed 250,000, subject to the adjustments provided for in Section 10 of the Plan.

(c) Dollar Limitation.    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Optioned Stock (determined as of the Date of Grant of each Option) with respect to Options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Company or any Affiliate) that may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Stock Options during any one calendar year shall not exceed the sum of $100,000. To the extent the Employee holds two or more such Options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such Options as Incentive Stock Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Options are granted. Any Options in excess of such limitation shall automatically be treated as Non-Statutory Stock Options.
 
(d) 10% Shareholder.    If any Employee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is granted is a 10% Shareholder, then the Exercise Price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant of such Option, and the Option term shall not exceed five years measured from the Date of Grant of such Option.
 
(e) Effect of Termination of Service.

10

 

entitled to exercise such Option on the Termination Date (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option, as set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant to the Option Agreement). If, on the Termination Date, the Optionee is not entitled to exercise the Optionee’s entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination of Service, the Optionee does not exercise his/her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Optioned Stock shall revert to the Plan.
 
(ii) Disability of Optionee.    In the event of termination of an Optionee’s Service due to his/her Disability, the Optionee may exercise his/her Option, but only on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise such Option on the Termination Date (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of his/her Option, as set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant to the Option Agreement). To the extent the Optionee is not entitled to exercise the Option on the Termination Date, or if the Optionee does not exercise the Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Optioned Stock shall revert to the Plan.
 
(iii) Death of Optionee.    In the event that an Optionee should die while in Service, the Optionee’s Option may be exercised by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who has acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of death, and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of his/her Option, as set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant to the Option Agreement). If, at the time of death, the Optionee was not entitled to exercise his/her Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If after death, the Optionee’s estate or a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Optioned Stock shall revert to the Plan.
 
(f) Change in Status.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Optionee’s change of status from Employee to Consultant or to Non-Employee Director, an Incentive Stock Option held by the Optionee may, at the discretion of the Administrator, cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Statutory Stock Option three months and one day following such change of status.
 
(g) Approved Leave of Absence.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Optionee is on an approved leave of absence, and the Optionee’s reemployment upon expiration of such leave is not guaranteed by statute or contract, including Company policies, then on the date three months and one day after commencement of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Optionee may, at the discretion of the
 

 
11

 

Administrator, cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

distribution and any rights thereunder may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the Grantee. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator may permit a Grantee to transfer a Performance Stock Award to one or more of the Grantee’s immediate family members or to trusts established in whole or in part for the benefit of the Grantee and/or one or more of such immediate family members.
 
10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.    
 
(a) Changes in Capitalization.    The limitations set forth in the Plan, the number or type of Shares issuable under the Plan and that pertain to each outstanding Award, and the Exercise Price of each Option shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares, a change in terms of Shares, or exchange of Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, merger, share exchange, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares that is effected without the receipt of consideration by the Company. Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, to the extent possible, so that the adjustment shall not result in an accounting consequence under then applicable accounting principles, opinions and guidelines and so that the adjustment shall not result in any taxes to the Company or the Participant. The Administrator’s determination with respect to the adjustment shall be final, binding, and conclusive.
 
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation.    In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. In such event, the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide for a Participant to fully vest in his/her Option, and the Risk of Forfeiture to lapse on his/her Granted Stock. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate upon termination or liquidation of the Company.
 
11. Share Escrow/Legends.    Unvested Shares issued under the Plan may, in the Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Company until the Participant’s interest in such Shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested Shares.
 
12. Tax Withholding.    
 
(a) For corporate purposes, the Company’s obligation to deliver Shares upon the exercise of Options, or deliver Shares or remove any restrictive legends upon vesting of such Shares under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements.
 
(b) To the extent permitted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto, the Administrator may, in its discretion, provide any or all holders of Non-Statutory Stock Options, or unvested Shares under the Plan with the right to use previously vested Shares in satisfaction of all or part of the Taxes incurred by such holders in connection with the exercise of their Non-Statutory Stock
 

 
14

 

Options, or the vesting of their Shares; provided, however, that this form of payment shall be limited to the withholding amount calculated using the minimum statutory rates. Such right may be provided to any such holder in either or both of the following formats:
 
(i) Stock Withholding:    The election to have the Company withhold, from the Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of such Non-Statutory Stock Option, or the vesting of such Shares, a portion of those Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Taxes calculated using the minimum statutory withholding rates.
 
(ii) Stock Delivery:    The election to deliver to the Company, at the time the Non-Statutory Stock Option is exercised or the Shares vest, one or more Shares previously acquired by such holder (other than in connection with the Option exercise, or Share vesting triggering the Taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Taxes calculated using the minimum statutory rates.
 
13. Effective Date and Term of the Plan.    The Plan was adopted by the Board on August 29, 2005, subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders. Unless sooner terminated by the Administrator, the Plan shall continue until August 29, 2015. When the Plan terminates, no Awards shall be granted under the Plan thereafter. The termination of the Plan shall not affect any Shares previously issued or any Award previously granted under the Plan.
 
14. Time of Granting Awards.    The Date of Grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Award, or such other date as determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that any Award granted prior to the date on which the Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders shall be subject to the shareholders’ approval of the Plan. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable period of time after the date of such grant.
 
15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan and Awards.    
 
(a) Amendment and Termination.    The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension, or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any Participant under any grant theretofore made without the Participant’s consent. In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Section 422 of the Code and Section 162(m) (or any other applicable law or regulation, including the requirements of any stock exchange or national market system upon which the Common Stock is then listed), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.
 
(b) Effect of Amendment and Termination.    Any such amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Awards already granted, and such Awards shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated. Except for any amendment to correct a defect, error or omission, any amendment of an Award
 

 
15

 

must be mutually agreed between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.
 
(c) Section 409A.    Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on amendment, in the event the Board determines that Section 409A applies to this Plan and/or any Award, Stock Option Agreement or Stock Award Agreement, then the Board may amend this Plan and/or any Award, Stock Option Agreement or Stock Award Agreement in order to comply with the terms of Section 409A and each Participant shall take such action and execute such amendments as the Board requests in that regard.
 
16. Regulatory Approvals.    
 
(a) The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any Awards and the issuance of any Shares upon the exercise of any granted Awards shall be subject to the Company’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the Awards granted under it, and the Shares issued pursuant to it.
 
(b) No Shares or other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan unless and until there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws, including the filing and effectiveness of the Form S-8 registration statement (if required) for the Shares issuable under the Plan, and all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq Stock Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading (if any).
 
17. No Employment/Service Rights.    Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Affiliate employing or retaining such person) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.
 
18. Governing Law.    This Plan shall be governed by Indiana law, applied without regard to conflict of laws principles.
 
19. Special Provisions Applicable To Covered Employees.    Awards to Covered Employees (as defined in subparagraph (j), below) shall be governed by the conditions of this Section in addition to the requirements of the other Sections of this Plan. Should conditions set forth under this Section conflict with the requirements of the other Sections of this Plan, the conditions of this Section shall prevail.
 
(a) All Performance Goals (as defined in subparagraph (h), below) related to the Performance Criteria (as defined in subparagraph (g), below) for a relevant Performance Period (as defined in subparagraph (i), below) shall be established by the Committee for each Covered Employee in writing prior to the beginning of the Performance Period, or by such other later date for the Performance Period as may be permitted under Section 162(m).
 

 
16

 

(b) The Performance Goals shall be objective and shall satisfy third party “objectivity” standards under Section 162(m), and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
(c) The Performance Goals shall not allow for any discretion by the Committee as to an increase in any Stock Award, but discretion to lower a Stock Award is permissible.
 
(d) Each Stock Award and payment of any Stock Award shall be contingent upon the attainment of the Performance Goals that are applicable to such Stock Award. The Committee shall certify in writing prior to payment of any such Stock Award that such applicable Performance Criteria have been satisfied. Written resolutions adopted by the Committee may be used for this purpose.
 
(e) The total number of Options and Stock Awards that may be awarded under the Plan to any Covered Employee in any taxable year may not exceed 125,000 shares, subject to adjustments provided for in Section 10 of the Plan.
 
(f) All Awards under this Plan to Covered Employees or to other Participants who may become Covered Employees at a relevant future date shall be further subject to such other conditions, restrictions, and requirements as the Committee may determine to be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Section which is to avoid the loss of deductions by the Company under Section 162(m).
 
(g) “Performance Criteria” means any of the following areas of performance of the Company, or any Affiliate, as determined under U.S. Generally accepted accounting principles or as publicly reported by the Company (determined either in absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more similarly situated companies or a published index covering the performance of a number of companies): net income; return on average assets (“ROA”); cash ROA; return on average equity (“ROE”); cash ROE; earnings per share (“EPS”); cash EPS; stock price; and efficiency ratio.

Performance Goals may be established on a Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more business units or divisions. When establishing Performance Goals, the Committee may exclude any or all “extraordinary items” as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles including, without limitation, the charges or costs associated with restructurings of the Company, discontinued operations, other unusual or non-recurring items, and the cumulative effects of accounting changes.
 
(i) “Performance Period” means a period of one or more years, not in excess of 10 years, established by the Committee, for which the Performance Criteria shall be determined for purposes of determining the amount or vesting of a Stock Award.
