12. Restrictive Covenants. In order to induce Employer to enter into
---------------------
this Agreement, Executive hereby agrees as follows:
(a) While Executive is employed by Employer and for a period of twelve
(12) months after the effective date of termination of such
employment for reasons other than those set forth in section 5(b)
of this Agreement, Executive shall not divulge or furnish any
trade secrets (as defined in IND. CODE Sec. 24-2-3-2) of Employer
or any confidential information acquired by him while employed by
Employer concerning the policies, plans, procedures or customers
of Employer to any person, firm or corporation,
6
EXHIBIT 10(a)
other than Employer or with its prior written consent, or use any
such trade secret or confidential information directly or indirectly
for Executive's own benefit or for the benefit of any person, firm
or corporation other than Employer, as such trade secrets and
confidential information are confidential and shall at all times
remain the property of Employer.
(b) For a period of twelve (12) months after the effective date of
termination of Executive's employment hereunder for reasons other
than those set forth in section 5(b) of this Agreement, Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, provide banking or bank-related
services to, or solicit the banking or bank-related business of,
any customer of Employer at the time of such provision of services
or solicitation which Employee served either alone or with others
while employed by Employer within St. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Elkhart, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or
LaPorte Counties in the State of Indiana, or assist any actual or
potential competitor of Employer to provide banking or
bank-related services to, or solicit the banking or bank-related
business of, any such customer in any such area, and Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, as principal, agent, or
trustee, or through the agency of any corporation, partnership,
trade association, agent or agency, engage in any banking or
bank-related business or venture which competes with the business
of Employer as conducted during Executive's employment by Employer
within such area; provided, however, that Executive may own not
-------- -------
more than five percent of the voting securities of any entity
providing banking or bank-related services within such area if the
voting securities of such entity are traded on a national
securities exchange or quoted on a national interdealer quotation
system.
(c) Executive acknowledges that any violation of this section 12 would
cause irreparable harm to Employer, that damages for such harm
would be incapable of precise measurement and that, accordingly,
Employer would not have an adequate remedy at law to redress the
harm caused by such violation. Therefore, Executive agrees that,
in addition to any other remedy, Employer shall be entitled to
immediate (i.e., without prior notice) preliminary and final
injunctive relief to enjoin and restrain any violation of this
section 12.
If Executive's employment is terminated during the Term of this
Agreement for reasons set forth in section 5(b) of this Agreement, Executive
shall have no obligations to Employer with respect to trade secrets,
confidential information or noncompetition under this section 12.
13. Tax Matters. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
-----------
notwithstanding, in the event that Employer's independent public accountants
determine that any payment by Employer to or for the benefit of Executive,
whether paid or payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, would
constitute an "excess parachute payment' within the meaning of Section 28OG
of the Code, then such amount payable or any other amount payable to or for
the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced (but not
below zero) to an amount
7
EXHIBIT 10(a)
which maximizes the amount payable to or for the benefit of Executive without
causing the payment to be non-deductible by Employer because of Section 28OG of
the Code.
14. No Duty to Mitigate. Executive is not required to mitigate the
-------------------
amount of salary or benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement upon
termination of his employment by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor
shall any amount provided to be paid by Employer pursuant to this Agreement
upon termination of Executive's employment be reduced by any compensation
earned by Employee as a result of employment by another employer that is not
in violation of Executive's obligations under section 12.
15. Severability. 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.
16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the day and year first written above.

AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Amendment') is made as of the
1st day of March , 1997, between 1st SOURCE CORPORATION ("Employer')
--- -----------
and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, III ("Executive').
RECITALS
--------
1. Employer and Executive have entered into an Employment Agreement
dated as of January 1, 1992 ("Agreement').
2. Employer and Executive desire to amend the Agreement as provided
below.
AGREEMENT
---------
In consideration of the premises and the following undertakings,
Employer and Executive agree as follows:
1. Effective February 1, 1997, Section 13 is amended to read as
follows:
13. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS BY EMPLOYER.
---------------------------------------
(a) In the event that Section 28OG of the Code is determined to
apply to the payments to be made by Employer to Executive
under this Agreement or other compensation or benefit
programs, and in the event of any excise tax ("Excise
Tax") that may be imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
become payable by Executive because of any of the payments
made to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise, the
Employer will pay to Executive an additional amount
("Gross-up Payment') at least 60 days prior to the due date
for payment of the Excise Tax. The Gross-up Payment shall
be in an amount such that, after payment by Executive of
all taxes (including, without limitation, all income and
employment tax and Excise Tax and treating as a tax the
disallowance of any deduction of Executive by virtue of
the inclusion of the Gross-up Payment in Executive's
adjusted gross income) and interest and penalties with
respect to such taxes imposed upon the Gross-up Payment,
Executive retains an amount equal to the Excise Tax.
Employer shall notify Executive of its determination of
the amount of payments under this Agreement subject to the
Excise Tax (which determination shall be made by an
accounting firm selected by Employer) and shall provide
Executive with a receipt for the Excise Tax paid.
Executive shall report the amount indicated in Employer's
notice as the amount subject to the Excise Tax on
Executive's Federal income tax return.
(b) If, for any reason, the Internal Revenue Service or any
other taxing authority proposes an adjustment to the amount
of Excise Tax due with respect to any payments or with
respect to any additional amounts received by Executive
pursuant to this Agreement, Executive will notify Employer
immediately of such proposed adjustment and shall give
Employer the right to contest such
10
EXHIBIT 10(a)
proposed adjustment on Executive's behalf; provided, however,
that Executive may pay such claim if Employer does not take
any action prior to the time such payment is due. Employer
shall bear and pay directly all costs related to or
associated with any contest, regardless of outcome, and shall
have complete control over such contest as it relates to the
Excise Tax, including whether such contest shall be by way
of non-payment of the Excise Tax, payment of the Excise Tax
under protest, or payment of the Excise Tax accompanied by
a claim for a refund. Employer shall pay to Executive (i)
an amount equal to the Excise Tax required to be paid to
the Internal Revenue Service by Executive as a result of
the outcome of any contest, any penalties or interest
thereon, and (ii) a Gross-up Payment computed in the same
manner and subject to the same adjustments as other
Gross-up Payments previously described. Payment by
Employer of an amount equal to the Excise Tax and Gross-up
Payment shall be made to Executive in advance of the due
date for payment of Excise Taxes.
(c) In the event that the amount of any additional payments
made pursuant to this Section 13 exceeds the amount
determined to have been due, the excess additional amounts
made shall constitute a loan by Employer to Executive
payable within 30 days after receipt by Executive of the
refund from the Internal Revenue Service together with any
interest received.
2. Effective February 1, 1997, a new section 17 is added to
read as follows:
17. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.
----------------------
Employer agrees to pay promptly as incurred, to the full extent
permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which Executive may reasonably
incur as a result of any contest, regardless of outcome, by Employer,
Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under,
any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance (including as
a result of any contest by Executive concerning the amount of any payment
pursuant to this Agreement).
All terms and conditions of the Agreement, except those expressly
amended by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect.
