Watson, Jr. (the "Employee"), The American National
Bank of Vincennes, a national banking association with

ARTICLE I
Recitals
The Employer, in recognition of the invaluable
contribution of the Employee's services to its success,
and in recognition of the Employee's considerable and
unique knowledge and experience relating to its
business, affairs and operations, desires and believes
it to be in its best interest and the best interest of
its shareholders to secure the continuation of the
Employee's services as an employee of the Employer. To
induce the Employee to continue to serve as an employee
of the Employer, the Employer desires to provide the
Employee additional compensation in the event of the
termination of his employment with both the Company and
the Bank for a reason other than his death. In
consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the Employee and theEmployer
hereby enter into this Agreement and agree to be bound
by its terms and conditions.

Termination" means termination of the Employee's
employment with both the Company and the Bank (or
termination of employment with the last of the two if

termination between the Employer and Employee or by
reason of either the Employee's discharge, resignation,
retirement, or disability.
Section 2.04. Supplemental Retirement Benefits.

of April, 2000); subject, however, to further
reduction pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof.

Annuity payment determined pursuant to Section 4.03
shall be reduced by the sum of (a) 1/180th of such
amount for each month, up to a maximum of sixty (60)
months, by which the Commencement Date precedes May 1,
2000, plus (b) 1/360th of such amount for each month,

his election to receive a Lifetime Annuity.
(b) A single sum payment (the "Single Sum
Settlement") in an amount that is
actuariallyequivalent to the aggregate total of the
Ten Year Certain Annuity payments that would have
been payable to the Employee hereunder absent his
election to receive a Single Sum Settlement.
Section 4.06. Actuarial Assumptions. For purposes
of computing the actuarial equivalency of the optional
forms of Supplemental Retirement Benefits provided in
Section 4.05 hereof to the aggregate total of the Ten
Year Certain Annuity payments (as determined pursuant

ARTICLE V
Miscellaneous
Section 5.01. Succession. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the Employee
and the Employer. The Employer shall assign this
Agreement to any person that succeeds to all or
substantially all of its business and assets by merger,
consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise and with
which the Employee accepts employment, and shall obtain
the assumption hereof by such successor. In such
event, all references herein to the Employer shall be
deemed and construed to be references to such
successor, provided, however, that such assignment and
assumption shall not reduce or affect any of the
obligations of the assignor hereunder, which
obligations shall continue in full force and effect as
the obligations of aprincipal and not as the
obligations of a surety to the same extent as though no
assignment had been made.
Section 5.02. Legal Expenses. In the event that
the Employee or his successors institute any legal
action to enforce their rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement, the Employee or
his successors, if the prevailing party, shall be
entitled to recover from the Employer actual expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with
such legal action.
Section 5.03. Titles. The titles of sections
hereof are intended solely for convenience, and no
provision hereof is to be construed by reference to any
such title.
Section 5.04. Amendment or Modification. No
provision hereof may be amended, modified or waived
unless such amendment, modification or waiver is agreed
to in writing signed by the Employee and the Employer.
Section 5.05. Severability. In the event that any
provision or portion hereof is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining
provisions and portions hereof shall be unaffected
thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to
the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however,
that if the remaining provisions and portions hereof
are so essentially and inseparably connected, and so
dependent upon, the provision or portion
declaredinvalid that they are incomplete and incapable
of being given effect without such provision or
portion, then this entire Agreement shall be deemed to
be invalid and unenforceable.
Section 5.06. No Employee Interest or Trust.
Neither anything contained herein nor any action taken
pursuant to the provisions hereof shall create or be
construed to create an interest of the Employee in any
insurance or annuity policy purchased and owned by the
Employer for the purpose of paying the retirement
benefits payable hereunder, and neither anything
contained herein nor any such action shall create or be
construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between the Employer and the Employee, his
beneficiary or any other person. Any funds that may be
set aside or invested by the Employer for the purpose
of paying the Supplemental Retirement Benefits payable
hereunder shall continue for all purposes to be a part
of the general funds of the Employer, and no person
other than the Employer shall, by virtue of the
provisions hereof, have any interest in such funds. To
the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
payments from the Employer hereunder, such right shall
be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
creditor of the Employer.
Section 5.07. Other Benefits. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to exclude the Employee from any
supplemental compensation, bonus, pension, insurance,
severance pay or other benefit to which he might
otherwise be or become entitled as an employee of the
Employer.
Section 5.08. Governing Law. This Agreement
contains the entire understanding between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Indiana.

and year first above written.
