INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

Document(s) containing information specified by Part I of this Form S-8 Registration Statement, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), will be sent or given to participants in the Indiana Community Bancorp 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as specified in Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the 1933 Act. Such document(s) are not being filed with the Commission but constitute (along with the documents incorporated by reference into this Form S-8 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof), a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the 1933 Act.

PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents are hereby incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement:

(1) The annual report of Indiana Community Bancorp (the “Registrant”) for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K;

(2) Registrant’s Forms 8-K filed January 29, 2010 and April 29, 2010;

(3) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) by the Registrant since December 31, 2009; and

(4) The description of the capital stock of the Registrant contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 8-B, filed with the Commission on February 19, 1993, and all amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the 1934 Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all shares offered hereby have been sold or that deregisters all shares then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part thereof from the date they are filed.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

IND. CODE § 23-1-37-1 et. seq. grants to each corporation broad powers to indemnify directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses incurred in certain proceedings if the conduct in question was found to be in good faith and was reasonably believed to be in the corporation’s best interests. This statute provides, however, that this indemnification should not be deemed exclusive of any other indemnification rights provided by the articles of incorporation, by-laws, resolution or other authorization adopted by a majority vote of the voting shares then issued and outstanding.

Article 13 of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides for indemnification of directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant against any and all liabilities (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, settlements, penalties and fines (including excise taxes assessed with respect to employee benefit plans) actually or reasonably incurred in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if the indemnified party acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed was in the best interest of the Registrant or, in certain cases, not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and in the case of criminal actions or proceedings he reasonably believed his conduct was lawful or had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification is required in cases where the directors or officers are successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any claim, issue or matter. Article 13 also provides for the authority to purchase insurance with respect thereto.

The Registrant also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

The exhibits furnished with this registration statement are listed on page E-1.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
