OPTIONEE:  [Name]

      STOCK  OPTION  ASSUMPTION  AGREEMENT  issued as of the ___ day of January,

      WHEREAS,  the  undersigned  individual  ("Optionee")  holds  one  or  more

Indiana  corporation  ("HCB"),  which were  granted to  Optionee  under the 1998
Officers' and Key  Employees'  Stock Option Plan of HCB Bancorp (the "HCB Plan")
and are evidenced by one or more Award Agreements or similar  documentation (the
"Award  Agreement(s)")  between  HCB and  Optionee,  which are  incorporated  by
reference herein.

      WHEREAS,  effective as of January __,  2000,  HCB has merged with and into
First Capital (the  "Merger")  pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement"),  dated as of July 19, 1999 by and between First Capital and
HCB;

      WHEREAS,   the  Merger  Agreement  provides  for  the  conversion  of  all
outstanding  stock  options  under the HCB Plan into  options to purchase  First
Capital common stock ("First Capital Stock"), and to issue to the holder of each
outstanding option an agreement evidencing the conversion and assumption of such
option;

      WHEREAS,  pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, the exchange
ratio (the  "Exchange  Ratio") in effect for the Merger is 15.5  shares of First
Capital Stock for each outstanding share of HCB common stock ("HCB Stock");

      WHEREAS,  this Stock Option  Assumption  Agreement is to become  effective
immediately in order to reflect  certain  adjustments to Optionee's  outstanding
options  under  the HCB  Plan,  which  have  become  necessary  by reason of the
assumption of those options by First Capital in connection with the Merger.

      NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

      1. The  number of  shares  of First  Capital  Stock  subject  to the stock
options held by Optionee under the HCB Plan  immediately  prior to the Effective
Time (as defined in the Merger  Agreement) of the Merger (the "HCB Options") and
the exercise  price  payable per share are set forth in Exhibit A hereto.  First
Capital hereby assumes, as of the Effective Time, all the duties and obligations
of HCB  under  each of the HCB  Options  as set  forth  in the HCB  Plan and the
Optionee's Award Agreement(s). In connection with such assumption, the number of
shares of First Capital Stock  purchasable  under each HCB Option hereby assumed
and the exercise  price  payable  thereunder  have been  adjusted to reflect the
Exchange Ratio in a manner  consistent with the Merger


 3


Agreement.  Accordingly,  the number of shares of First Capital Stock subject to

      Option and all other provisions which govern either the  exercisability or
      the  termination  of the assumed HCB Option  shall  remain the same as set
      forth in the Award Agreement  applicable to that option and the provisions
      of the HCB Plan,  and shall  accordingly  govern  and  control  Optionee's
      rights under this Stock  Option  Assumption  Agreement  to purchase  First
      Capital Stock.

            (c) The adjusted  exercise price payable for the First Capital Stock
