OTHER BORROWINGS
Junior Subordinated Debt
On September 15, 2006, the Company entered into several agreements providing for the private placement of $15.0 million of Capital Securities due September 15, 2036 (the "Capital Securities").  The Capital Securities were issued by the Company's Delaware trust subsidiary, Home Federal Statutory Trust I (the "Trust"), to JP Morgan Chase formerly Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. (the "Purchaser").  The Company bought $464,000 in Common Securities (the "Common Securities") from the Trust.  The proceeds of the sale of Capital Securities and Common Securities were used by the Trust to purchase $15.5 million in principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the "Debentures") from the Company pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture") between the Company and Bank of America National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

The Common Securities and Capital Securities will mature in 30 years, require quarterly distributions of interest and bear a floating variable rate equal to the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.65% per annum.  Interest on the Capital Securities and Common Securities is payable quarterly in arrears each December 15, March 15, June 15 and September 15.  The Company may redeem the Capital Securities and the Common Securities, in whole or in part, without penalty, on or after September 15, 2011, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events described below with the payment of a premium upon redemption.

The Company, as Guarantor, entered into a Guarantee Agreement with Bank of America National Association, as Guarantee Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Capital Securities. Pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement, the Company unconditionally agreed to pay to the holders of the Capital Securities all amounts becoming due and payable with respect to the Capital Securities, to the extent that the Trust has funds available for such payment at the time.  The Company's guarantee obligation under the Guarantee Agreement is a general unsecured obligation of the Company and is subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of the Company's long term debt.

The Debentures bear interest at the same rate and on the same dates as interest is payable on the Capital Securities and the Common Securities.  The Company has the option, as long as it is not in default under the Indenture, at any time and from time to time, to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures for up to twenty consecutive quarterly interest payment periods.  During any such deferral period, or while an event of default exists under the Indenture, the Company may not declare or pay dividends or distributions on, redeem, purchase, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock, or make payments of principal, interest or premium on, or repay or repurchase, any other debt securities that rank equal or junior to the Debentures, subject to certain limited exceptions.
 
The Debentures mature 30 years after their date of issuance, and can be redeemed in whole or in part by the Company, without penalty, at any time after September 15, 2011.  The Company may also redeem the Debentures upon the occurrence of a "capital treatment event," an "investment company event" or a "tax event" as defined in the Indenture.  The payment of principal and interest on the Debentures is subordinate and subject to the right of payment of all "Senior Indebtedness" of the Company as described in the Indenture.
 
ONB, pursuant to its previously reported merger agreement with the Company, has agreed to assume the Debentures at the closing of the merger.
