                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1997

1.  Accounting Policies

         Except as noted in Note 3, the significant accounting policies followed
by Peoples Bank  Corporation of  Indianapolis  (the "Corporation")  for interim
financial  reporting are consistent  with the accounting  policies  followed for
annual financial  reporting.  The consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance  with  instructions to Form 10-Q and may not include
all  information  and  footnotes   normally  shown  for  full  annual  financial
statements.  All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary
for a fair  presentation  of the  results  for the  periods  reported  have been
included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and all
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

2.  Earnings Per Share

         Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted  average number
of shares  outstanding  during the period which were 3,100,239 and 3,124,222 for
the three and nine months ending September 30, 1997, and 3,167,852 and 3,175,910
for the three and nine months ending September 30, 1996.

3.  Accounting Changes

         Financial  Accounting  Standard No. 125,  Accounting  for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and  Extinguishment of Liabilities,  was issued by
the Financial  Accounting Standards Board in 1996. It revises the accounting for
transfers  of  financial  assets,   such  as  loans  and  securities,   and  for
distinquishing  between sales and secured  borrowings.  It is effective for some
transactions in 1997 and others in 1998.  Management does not expect adoption of
this Standard to have a significant  effect on the Company's  financial position
or results of operations.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

 (Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

General

The  business  of Peoples  Bank  Corporation  of  Indianapolis  (the  "Company")
consists  of holding and  administering  its  interest  in Peoples  Bank & Trust
Company  ("Peoples").  The principal  business of Peoples consists of attracting
deposits from consumer and commercial  customers and making loans to individuals
and  businesses.  Peoples  offers  various  products  for  depositors  including
checking and savings  accounts,  certificates of deposit and safe deposit boxes.
Loans consist  principally of loans to individuals  secured by mortgage liens on
residential  properties,  consumer loans generally  secured by personal property
and loans to businesses  generally secured by liens on business assets.  Peoples
also offers trust services to individuals, businesses and institutions.

The Company  operates 11 branch  locations,  a twelve  story  office in downtown
Indianapolis,  and an  operations  center.  Peoples  occupies five floors of the
downtown office building and leases six floors to tenants.  The top floor houses
the board room and a training area.  Leased tenant space at the downtown  office
remains at near capacity.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved on July 18, 1996, the repurchase,
from time to time, of 200,000  nonvoting  common shares on the open market.  The
Board  believed that the shares had been at times  undervalued in the market and
that it was in the best interest of the  shareholders  and the Company to effect
such share  repurchases.  At September  30, 1997, a total of 102,894  shares had
been repurchased at an average price of $22.32.

The book value per share of Peoples  nonvoting  common  shares at September  30,
1997, was $ 15.40.  For the third  quarter,  the low trading price per share was
$25.50, and the high trading price per share was $35.25.

On September  18,1997,  Peoples  declared a cash dividend in the amount of $.115
per share,  payable October 17, 1997, to  shareholders  of record  September 30,
1997.  This dividend  represents a 4.5%  increase  over the second  quarter 1997
dividend and is the fifth  consecutive  quarter in which Peoples has declared an
increase in dividends.

Net Income

Net income for the third  quarter of 1997 was $1,658  compared to $1,361 for the
third  quarter of 1996,  an increase of 21.82% or $297.  Net income for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1997,  was $4,629 which  represents  an increase of
15.49% or $621 from net income of $4,008 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. Net income per share for the third quarter 1997 increased  $0.10 or 23.25%
to $0.53 from $0.43 for the third quarter of 1996.  Net income per share for the
first nine months of 1997 was $1.48  compared to $1.26 for the first nine months
of  1996,  an  increase  of $0.22 or  17.46%.  The  increase  in net  income  is
attributable to increases in net interest income and  non-interest  income which
exceeded increases in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the principal component of net income for the Company and
represents the difference  between  interest earned on loans and investments and
the interest  cost of deposits  and other  borrowed  funds.  For the nine months
ended  September  30, net  interest  income was $15,867 and $13,430 for 1997 and
1996, respectively. This reflects an increase of $2,437 or 18.15%. For the third
quarter  of 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  net  interest  income  was $5,573 and
$4,631 an increase of $942 or 20.34%.


<PAGE>

Interest  income for the nine months ended September 30, was $28,726 and $23,804
for 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  Interest income for the third quarter of 1997
and 1996,  respectfully,  was $10,492 and $8,262 an increase of $2,230 or 26.99%
due primarily to increases in earning assets. Total interest expense was $12,859
and  $10,374  for  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  1997,   and  1996,
respectively.  For the  third  quarter  of 1997 and  1996,  respectively,  total
interest expense was $4,919 and $3,631 an increase of $1,288 or 35.47%.

Interest and fees on loans  increased  from $19,248 for the first nine months of
1996 to $23,107  for that period in 1997,  an increase of $3,859 or 20.05%.  For
the third  quarter of 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  interest  and fees on loans
were  $8,264 and $6,737 an  increase of $1,527 or 22.67%.  These  increases  are
attributable  primarily  to an increase in loans  outstanding.  Total loans were
$320,153 at September  30, 1996,  compared to $389,564 at September 30, 1997, an
increase of $69,411 or 21.68%.

The Company's net interest margin, or margin on earning assets,  decreased 0.02%
from 4.38% for the first nine  months of 1996 to 4.36% for the first nine months
of 1997. On a tax equivalent  basis, the Company's net interest margin was 4.60%
and 4.53%,  respectively,  for those  periods.  For the third  quarter,  the net
interest  margin  decreased  2.78%  from 4.32% in 1996 to 4.20% in 1997 due to a
significant increase in lower-yielding  investment securities. On tax equivalent
basis,  the  Company's  net  interest  margin  was 4.53% and 4.35% for the third
quarters of 1996 and 1997, respectively.

Provision & Allowance for Loan Losses

The  provision  for loan  losses was $1,400 for the first nine months of 1997 as
compared  to $750 for the first  nine  months of 1996,  an  increase  of $650 or
86.67%. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1997, was $5,119 or 1.31%
of total loans  compared to $3,900 or 1.17% of total loans at December 31, 1996.
Gross charge-offs  during the first nine months of 1997 were $447 and recoveries
were $266.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is evaluated at least quarterly by a
credit review officer and management  based upon the review of identified  loans
with more than a normal degree of risk,  historical loan loss  percentages,  and
present and forecasted economic conditions. Management's analysis indicated that
the  allowance  for loan losses at  September  30,  1997,  was adequate to cover
potential  losses on identified  loans with credit problems and potential losses
on the remaining loan  portfolio  based on historical  percentages.  Peoples has
made an effort to increase the allowance  through increases in the provision for
loan losses in order to target the ratio of the  allowance to total loans rather
than due to any specific decrease in credit quality.

Other Operating Income

Non-interest  income totaled $4,381 for the first nine months of 1997,  compared
to $3,952 for that period of 1996,  an increase of $429 or 10.86%.  Non-interest
income  was  $1,535  and  $1,318  for  the  third  quarters  of 1997  and  1996,
respectively, an increase of $217 or 16.46%. Trust fees were $1,112 and $988 for
the first nine  months of 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  an  increase of $124 or
12.55%.

Service  charges on deposit  accounts,  which comprise the largest  component of
non-interest income, were up for the first nine months of 1997 compared with the
same periods of 1996. Service charge income was $2,245 for the nine months ended
September  30,  1997,  an increase  of $478 or 27.05%,  from $1,767 for the same
period in 1996. For the three month periods ending September 30, 1997, and 1996,
service  charge  income was $791 and $674  respectively,  an increase of $117 or
17.36%. The increase in service charge income can be traced to a review of local
market fees during late 1996 which resulted in increases in many service charges
to market levels.

Mortgage  banking  revenue  includes net gains and losses realized when mortgage
loans are sold into the  secondary  market and service  fee revenue  earned from
servicing  those loans  after they are sold.  Mortgage  banking  revenue for the
first nine  months of 1997 was $325,  reflecting  a decrease  of $190 or 36.89%,
compared to $515 for the same period in 1996.  Mortgage  banking revenue for the
third  quarter of 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  was $89 and $149, a decrease of
$60 or 40.27%.  The decrease in mortgage  banking  revenue is associated  with a
change in the  bank's  mortgage  origination  strategy.  During  1996,  the bank
reduced  staff  in  this  area  by more  than  fifty  percent  and  focused  its
origination  efforts on adjustable  rate mortgage  loans which would not be sold
into the secondary market. During the third quarter of 1996, the bank originated
$ 4.7  million  in loans  sold into the  secondary  market  and $8.7  million in
adjustable  rate  mortgages  retained by the bank.  During the third  quarter of
1997, the bank originated  $2.0 million in loans sold into the secondary  market
and $11.0 million in adjustable rate mortgages retained by the bank.

Other operating  income  increased  during the first nine months of 1997 to $745
from $710 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $35 or 4.93%.

Other Operating Expenses

Total other operating  expenses were $12,016 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997,  compared  with $10,954 for that period in 1996.  This  represents  an
increase of $1,062,  or 9.70%.  Total  other  operating  expenses  for the third
quarter of 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  were  $4,105 and $3,744 an increase of
$361 or 9.64%. Salary and employee benefit expense was $6,608 for the first nine
months of 1997,  an  increase  of $584 or 9.69%  from  6,024 for the first  nine

<PAGE>

months of 1996.  Salary and employee  benefit  expense for the third  quarter of
1997 and 1996,  respectively,  were  $2,294 and  $2,080,  an increase of $214 or
10.29%. The increase was primarily  associated with an increase in headcount and
in salary and wage rate increases.

Occupancy  expense was $1,215 for the first nine months of 1997,  an increase of
$54, or 4.65% from $1,161 for the first nine months of 1996.  Occupancy  expense
was $380 for the third quarter of 1997, a decrease of $15 or 3.80% from $395 for
the third quarter of 1996. Equipment expenses were $778 and $766,  respectively,
for the  first  nine  months  of 1997 and  1996,  an  increase  of $12 or 1.57%.
Equipment  expense was $253 for the third  quarter of 1997, an increase of $3 or
1.20% from $250 for the same period in 1996.

Advertising  expenses were $397 and $347,  for the first nine months of 1997 and
1996, respectively,  an increase of $50 or 14.41%. For the third quarter of 1997
and 1996,  advertising expenses were $124 and $78, an increase of $46, or 58.97%
over the same period in 1996.  Other  operating  expenses were $2,980 and $2,654
for the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively, an increase of $326 or
12.28%.  For the third quarter of 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  other operating
expenses were $1,045 and $940, an increase of $105 or 11.17%.

Income Taxes

Income  taxes were  $2,203 for the first nine  months of 1997 and $1,670 for the
first nine months of 1996. On a quarterly comparison, income taxes were $845 for
the third quarter of 1997 and $544 for the third  quarter of 1996.  The increase
in taxes can be primarily attributed to increased profitability.

Balance sheet

Total assets were $570,824 at September  30, 1997,  and $471,478 at December 31,
1996,  an increase of $99,346.  The portfolio of  available-for-sale  securities
increased  from $94,589 at December 31, 1996, to $147,679 at September 30, 1997,
an increase of $53,090 or 56.13%.  The increase in the  portfolio  resulted from
growth in deposits exceeding loan growth. Total loans,  excluding loans held for
sale,  increased  during the first nine months of 1997 from $332,953 at December
31,  1996,  to $389,427 at  September  30,  1997.  This  reflects an increase of
$56,474 or 16.96%.  Commercial  loans increased $8,282 or 5.28% from $156,755 at

<PAGE>

December 31, 1996, to $165,037 at September 30, 1997.  Real estate loans,  which
consist  of  construction   loans  and  permanent   residential  and  commercial
mortgages,  increased  $27,376 or 27.68% from $98,891 at December  31, 1996,  to
$126,267 at September 30, 1997.  Consumer loans increased $20,877 or 27.77% from
$75,187 at December 31, 1996, to $96,064 at September 30, 1997, on strong growth
in home equity  lending.  Loans held for sale consist of  conforming  fixed rate
mortgage  loans that Peoples  sells in the  secondary  market  (having  retained
servicing rights with respect to such loans) and that are pending funding. Loans
held for sale were $421 at December 31, 1996,  compared to $137 at September 30,
1997.  The  amount  of loans  outstanding  (excluding  loans  held for sale) are
reflected in the following table.

Short-term  borrowings in the form of Federal funds, Federal Home Loan advances,
and  repurchase  agreements  are  acquired,  as  needed,  to  satisfy  temporary
liquidity needs. Many of the funds are from businesses with large cash balances.

<PAGE>

Though short-term in nature,  repurchase agreements have been and continue to be
a stable  source of funds for  Peoples.  Short-term  borrowings  were $10,271 at
September 30, 1997, as compared to $10,266 at December 31, 1996. This represents
an increase of $5 or 0.05%. At September 30, 1997, the bank had no federal funds
purchased,  and $1,000 in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  All other short-term
borrowings were in the form of customer repurchase agreements.

Total  shareholders'  equity increased $2,046 or 4.51% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, to $47,395,  from $45,349 at December 31, 1996. The increase
in shareholders'  equity was the result of net income of $4,629,  less dividends
paid of $1,026,  plus the adoption of FAS No. 115 resulted in a $177 increase in
equity,  less the  repurchase of $ 1,734 of common stock.  The Company  issued a
2-for-1 share split effective July 18, 1997.

Credit Quality

Nonaccrual  loans are loans on which the  Company  no longer  accrues  interest.
Management  places a loan on nonaccrual status when the collection of additional
interest is unlikely  and the loan is not  considered  to be well secured and in
the  process of  collection.  Nonperforming  loans  consist of loans that are on
nonaccrual  status,  that  are 90 days  or  more  past  due as to  principal  or
interest,  or that are restructured.  If a loan is designated as a nonperforming
loan, management,  as a result of delinquent status or significant concern about
the ultimate  collectibility of the loan, typically ceases to recognize interest
income with respect to such loan and places it on nonaccrual status.

At September 30, 1997,  Management  designated $3,098 in loans as "impaired" for
the  purpose  of FAS  No.  114.  Management  has  further  determined  that  all
commercial non-accrual loans will be considered as impaired.

The following table shows the composition of nonperforming loans.

At  September  30,  1997,  nonperforming  loans  were  comprised  of  $1,855  of
commercial  loans,  $151  of  real  estate  loans  and  $17 of  consumer  loans.
Nonperforming  loans were  comprised of $143 of commercial  loans,  $140 of real
estate loans and $0 of consumer  loans at December 31,  1996.  At September  30,
1996,  nonperforming  loans consisted of $121 of commercial  loans, $307 of real
estate  loans  and $48 of  consumer  loans.  Asset  quality  continues  to be an
important  area of focus for the  Company.  Nonperforming  loans as a percent of
assets were 0.35% at  September  30, 1997,  and 0.06% at December 31, 1996.  The
Company  maintains  asset  quality  through  the use of  well-defined  policies,
underwriting criteria, and review processes.

Capital

The  Company  and Peoples  are  required  to comply  with  capital  requirements
promulgated  by their  primary  regulators  that  affect  their  ability  to pay
dividends and that can affect their operations.  Those  regulations  require the
maintenance of specified  levels of capital to total assets (leverage ratio) and
to risk weighted  assets (the  risk-based  capital  ratios).  These  regulations
require  the  maintenance  of a  leverage  ratio of at least  3.00%  and a total
risk-based  capital ratio of at least 8.00%. A financial  institution's  deposit
insurance assessment and, in certain circumstances,  operations will be affected
by its capital  level.  Institutions  with leverage  ratios of 5.00% or more and
total  risk-based  capital  ratios  of  10.00%  or more are  deemed  to be "well
capitalized," and accordingly,  pay the lowest deposit insurance  assessment and
are not subject to operational restrictions as outlined within the regulation.

As of September 30, 1997,  the  Company's  Tier I and total  risk-based  capital
ratios were 11.46% and 12.71%,  respectively.  The Company's  leverage ratio was
8.48% at September 30, 1997. As of September 30, 1997,  Peoples was in excess of
the minimum capital and leverage requirements necessary to be considered a "well
capitalized"  banking company as defined by Federal regulators.  The Company and
Peoples were in full  compliance  with all regulatory  capital  requirements  at
September 30, 1997.

         WHEREAS, Employee has been employed by Employer as an executive officer
and has made valuable  contributions to the profitability and financial strength
of Employer;

         WHEREAS,  Employer  desires to  encourage  Employee to continue to make
valuable  contributions  to Employer's  business  operations  and not to seek or
accept employment elsewhere;

         WHEREAS,   Employee   desires  to  be  assured  of  a  secure   minimum
compensation from Employer for his services over a defined term;

         WHEREAS,  Employer desires to assure the continued services of Employee
on  behalf  of  Employer  on  an  objective  and  impartial  basis  and  without
distraction  or conflict of interest in the event of an attempt by any person to
obtain control of Employer;

         WHEREAS,  Employer  recognizes  that when faced  with a proposal  for a
change of control of Employer,  Employee will have a significant role in helping
the Board of Directors assess the options and advising the Board of Directors on
what is in the  best  interests  of  Employer  and its  shareholders,  and it is
necessary  for  Employee to be able to provide  this advice and counsel  without
being influenced by the uncertainties of his own situation;

         WHEREAS,  Employer  desires to provide fair and reasonable  benefits to
Employee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

         WHEREAS,  Employer  desires  reasonable  protection of its confidential
business  and  customer  information  which it has  developed  over the years at
substantial  expense and assurance  that Employee will not compete with Employer
for a  reasonable  period  of time  after  termination  of his  employment  with
Employer, except as otherwise provided herein.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,   in  consideration  of  these  premises,  the  mutual

declare from time to time  increases in the salary it pays  Employee and thereby
increase his Base Compensation.

          5. So long as  Employee  is  employed  by  Employer  pursuant  to this
Agreement,  he shall be  included  as a  participant  in all  present and future
employee  benefit,  retirement,  and compensation  plans generally  available to
employees of Employer, consistent with his Base Compensation and his position as

                  his employment for Good Reason (as defined  below),  except as
                  provided in Section 7(C) below:

                  (i)      Compensation  provided  for  herein  (including  Base
                           Compensation) shall continue to be paid, and Employee
                           shall   continue  to   participate  in  the  employee
                           benefit, retirement, and compensation plans and other
                           perquisites  as  provided in Sections 5 and 6 hereof,
                           through  the  date of  termination  specified  in the
                           notice of termination; and any benefits payable under
                           insurance,  health,  retirement  and bonus plans as a
                           result  of  Employee's  participation  in such  plans
                           through  such date shall be paid when due under those
                           plans;

                  (ii)     In addition,  the  Employer  shall pay the Employee a
                           lump sum severance  payment equal to Employee's  Base
                           Compensation for the immediately  preceding  calendar
                           year; and

                  (iii)    In addition,  for one (1) year following termination,
                           Employer  will  maintain in full force and effect for
                           the continued  benefit of Employee and his dependents

                           term is defined  in the  Employee  Retirement  Income
                           Security Act of 1974,  as amended) in which  Employee
                           was entitled to participate  immediately prior to the
                           date  of  his  termination,   unless  an  essentially
                           equivalent  benefit is provided by another source. If
                           the terms of any  employee  medical and life  benefit
                           plan of  Employer  or  applicable  laws do not permit
                           continued  participation  by Employee,  Employer will
                           arrange   to   provide   to    Employee   a   benefit
                           substantially similar to, and no less favorable than,
                           the  benefit he was  entitled  to receive  under such
                           plan at the end of the period of coverage.  The right
                           of Employee to  continued  coverage  under the health

                           Section  4980B of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,
                           as  amended  (the  "Code")  shall  commence  upon the
                           expiration  of  such  period.   Notwithstanding   the
                           foregoing,   Employer   shall  not  be  obligated  to
                           continue life insurance  benefits if the insurer does
                           not consent to such  continuation  and no  disability
                           insurance benefit shall continue past Employee's date
                           of termination of employment.

For purposes of this  Agreement,  "Good  Reason" for  Employee to terminate  his
employment  with  Employer  means:  (i) a  substantial  reduction in  Employee's
responsibility and authority over the management and affairs of Employer without
Employee's  consent  or;  (ii) any  material  breach of any term,  condition  or
covenant of Employer under this  Agreement;  or (iii) the  requirement  that the
Employee  move his  personal  residence,  or  perform  his  principal  executive
functions,  more than 30 miles  from his  primary  office as of the later of the
Effective Date and the most recent voluntary relocation by the Employee.

         (C)      If,  following  a  Change  of  Control,   Employer  terminates
                  Employee   without  Cause  (as  defined   above)  or  Employee
                  terminates  his  employment  with Employer for Good Reason (as
                  defined  above) in lieu of any  payments or coverage  provided
                  under Section 7(B) above,

                  (i)      Compensation  provided  for  herein  (including  Base
                           Compensation) shall continue to be paid, and Employee
                           shall   continue  to   participate  in  the  employee
                           benefit, retirement, and compensation plans and other
                           perquisites  as  provided in Sections 5 and 6 hereof,
                           through  the  date of  termination  specified  in the
                           notice of termination; and any benefits payable under
                           insurance,  health,  retirement  and bonus plans as a
                           result  of  Employee's  participation  in such  plans
                           through  such date shall be paid when due under those
                           plans;

                  (ii)     In addition,  the  Employer  shall pay the Employee a
                           severance  payment  equal  to 299% of the  Employee's
                           Average Annual  Compensation.  Such severance payment
                           shall be due and payable on the date fifteen calendar
                           days   following   the  date  on   which   Employee's
                           employment   terminates   under  this  Section  7(C),
                           unless,  prior to the date 90 days before the date on
                           which a Change of Control occurs, Employee files with
                           the Secretary of Employer a duly executed irrevocable
                           written  election to defer such  payment,  specifying
                           the  date  or  dates  on  which  such   payment   (or
                           installments  in the aggregate equal to such payment)
                           shall  be  made;  provided,  that  no  such  deferral
                           election  shall provide for any payment later than 10
                           years after termination of employment.  Such deferred
                           payment  obligation shall bear interest from the date
                           on which it would otherwise be payable until the date
                           paid at 6% per year.  For  purposes of  figuring  the
                           severance   payment,   Employee's   "Average   Annual
                           Compensation"   shall   equal  the   average   annual
                           compensation,  including  bonuses and taxable  fringe
                           benefits,   which  was  paid  by  the   Employer  and
                           includible  in the gross  income of the  Employee for
                           the five most recent  taxable years  ending,  or such
                           portion of the five year period during which Employee
                           performed  services  for  the  Employer,  before  the
                           Change of Control.  Anything in this Agreement to the
                           contrary  notwithstanding,  in  the  event  that  the
                           Employer's  independent public accountants  determine
                           that  any  payment  by the  Employer  to or  for  the
                           benefit of the Employee,

                           Agreement,  would be  non-deductible  by the Employer
                           for federal  income tax  purposes  because of Section
                           280G of the Code,  then the amount  payable to or for
                           the  benefit  of  the   Employee   pursuant  to  this
                           Agreement  shall be reduced  (but not below  zero) to
                           the Reduced  Amount.  For  purposes  of this  Section
                           7(C), the "Reduced  Amount" shall be the amount which
                           maximizes  the amount  payable  without  causing  any
                           portion of the  payment to be  non-deductible  by the
                           Employer because of Section 280G of the Code; and

                  (iii)    In addition,  for one (1) year following termination,
                           Employer  will  maintain in full force and effect for
                           the continued  benefit of Employee and his dependents

                           term is defined  in the  Employee  Retirement  Income
                           Security Act of 1974,  as amended) in which  Employee
                           was entitled to participate  immediately prior to the
                           date  of  his  termination,   unless  an  essentially
                           equivalent  benefit is provided by another source. If
                           the terms of any  employee  medical and life  benefit

                           Section  4980B of the Code  shall  commence  upon the
                           expiration  of  such  period.   Notwithstanding   the
                           foregoing,   Employer   shall  not  be  obligated  to
                           continue life insurance  benefits if the insurer does
                           not consent to such  continuation  and no  disability

         (D)      Employee's  employment  with Employer  shall  terminate in the
                  event of Employee's death or disability.  For purposes hereof,
                  "disability"  shall be  defined  as  Employee's  inability  by
                  reason of illness or other  physical or mental  incapacity  to
                  perform  the  duties   required  by  his  employment  for  any
                  consecutive sixty (60) day period, provided that notice of any
                  termination  by Employer  because of  Employee's  "disability"
                  shall have been given to Employee prior to the full resumption
                  by him of the performance of such duties.

         8. In order to induce Employer to enter into this  Agreement,  Employee
hereby agrees as follows:

         (A)      Unless otherwise required to do so by law, including the order
                  of a court or governmental agency,  Employee shall not divulge
                  or furnish  any trade  secrets  (as  defined  in IND.  CODEss.
                  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,  other  than  Employer  or upon  its  written
                  request,  or  use  any  such  trade  secrets  or  confidential
                  information  directly or indirectly for Employee's own benefit
                  or for the benefit of any person,  firm or  corporation  other
                  than  Employer,  since such  trade  secrets  and  confidential
                  information are confidential and shall at all times remain the
                  property of Employer.

         (B)      For a period of one (1) year after  termination  of Employee's
                  employment  with Employer for any reason,  Employee  shall not
                  (a)  compete,  directly or  indirectly,  with the  business of
                  Employer as conducted during the term of this Agreement (which
                  business shall include the financial  services  industry),  or
                  have any  interest  (including  any  interest or  association,
                  including  but not  limited  to,  that of owner,  part  owner,
                  partner,  shareholder,  director,  officer,  employee,  agent,
                  consultant,  lender or advisor) in any person,  firm or entity
                  which  competes  with  Employer  and  has  offices  physically
                  located  in the  Indianapolis  metropolitan  statistical  area
                  (each  such   person,   firm  or  entity  is  referred  to  as
                  "Competitor"); (b) solicit or accept business for or on behalf
                  of any  Competitor;  or (c) solicit,  induce or  persuade,  or
                  attempt to solicit, induce or persuade, any person to work for
                  or provide services to or provide financial assistance to, any
                  Competitor.  Nothing  contained  in this Section 8(B) shall be
                  deemed to prevent or limit the Employee's right either to be a
                  mere customer of any  Competitor,  or to invest in the capital
                  stock or other  securities of any business solely as a passive
                  or minority investor, provided that his holdings do not exceed
                  five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding  capital stock
                  of such business.

         (C)      If Employee's  employment  by Employer is  terminated  for any
                  reason,  Employee  will turn over  immediately  thereafter  to
                  Employer  all  business   correspondence,   letters,   papers,
                  reports,  customers'  lists,  financial  statements,  records,
                  drawings,  credit reports or other confidential information or
                  documents of Employer or its  affiliates in the  possession or
                  control  of  Employee,  all of  which  writings  are and  will
                  continue to be the sole and exclusive  property of Employer or
                  its affiliates.

         (D)      Employee acknowledges that the covenants of this Section 8 are
                  reasonable in scope and duration and reasonably  necessary and
                  appropriate  to protect  the  goodwill  and other  appropriate
                  interests of Employer  following  Employee's  termination  and
                  that any violation of such  covenants by Employee would result
                  in irreparable  harm to Employer,  for which any remedy at law
                  would be inadequate.  In addition to any other remedy to which
                  it may be  entitled,  Employer  shall be entitled to equitable
                  relief,  including specific performance,  for any violation of
                  Section 8.

         9.  Any   termination  of  Employee's   employment   with  Employer  as
contemplated  by section 7 hereof,  except in the  circumstances  of  Employee's
death,  shall  be  communicated  by  written  "Notice  of  Termination"  by  the
terminating  party to the  other  party  hereto.  Any  "Notice  of  Termination"
pursuant  to  section 7 based on Cause,  Good  Reason on  following  a Change of
Control shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed
to provide a basis for such termination.

         10. If a dispute arises regarding the termination of Employee  pursuant
to  Section  7  hereof  or as to  the  interpretation  or  enforcement  of  this
Agreement,   said  dispute   shall  be  resolved  by  binding   arbitration   in
Indianapolis,  Indiana  determined in accordance  with the rules of the American
Arbitration  Association.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Employer  shall  be
entitled  to seek any  remedy in a  proceeding  at law or in equity in any court
having jurisdiction for any breach of Section 8. If said dispute arises, whether
instituted by formal legal  proceedings or otherwise,  including any action that
the  Employee  takes to defend  against any action  taken by the  Employer,  the
Employee  shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses,  including  reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  arising from such dispute,  proceedings or actions,  provided
that the Employee  obtains either a written  settlement or a final judgment by a
court of competent  jurisdiction  substantially in his favor. Such reimbursement
shall be paid within ten days of Employee's  furnishing to the Employer  written
evidence,  which may be in the form, among other things,  of a canceled check or
receipt, of any costs or expenses incurred by the Employee.

         11.  Should  Employee  die after  termination  of his  employment  with
Employer  while any amounts are payable to him hereunder,  this Agreement  shall
inure  to  the  benefit  of  and  be   enforceable   by  Employee's   executors,
administrators,  heirs,  distributees,  devisees  and  legatees  and all amounts
payable  hereunder  shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
to  Employee's  devisee,  legatee  or  other  designee  or,  if there is no such
designee, to his estate.

         12.  For   purposes   of  this   Agreement,   notices   and  all  other
communications  provided  for herein  shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have  been  given  when  delivered  or mailed by  United  States  registered  or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

         If to Employee:            Gerald R. Francis
                                    ======================

or to such address as either party hereto may have  furnished to the other party
in writing in  accordance  herewith,  except  that  notices of change of address
shall be effective only upon receipt.

         13. The validity,  interpretation,  and  performance  of this Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana.

         14.  Employer shall require any successor  (whether direct or indirect,
by purchase, merger,  consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of
the  business  or  assets  of  Employer,  by  agreement  in form  and  substance
reasonably  satisfactory  to Employee to  expressly  assume and agree to perform
this  Agreement  in the same  manner  and same  extent  that  Employer  would be
required  to  perform  it if no such  succession  had taken  place.  Failure  of
Employer  to  obtain  such  agreement  prior  to the  effectiveness  of any such
succession  shall be deemed a  termination  pursuant to Section 7(C). As used in
this Agreement,  "Employer" shall mean Employer as hereinbefore  defined and any
successor to its business or assets as aforesaid.

         15.  No  provision  of  this  Agreement  may  be  modified,  waived  or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing
signed by Employee and Employer. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of
any breach by the other party hereto of, or  compliance  with,  any condition or
provision of this  Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed
a waiver  of  dissimilar  provisions  or  conditions  at the  same or any  prior
subsequent time. No agreements or representation,  oral or otherwise, express or
implied,  with  respect to the  subject  matter  hereof have been made by either
party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.

         16.  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. This
is the entire  agreement  between  Employer and Employee  concerning the subject
matter hereof and all prior agreements, written or oral, are superseded.

         17. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same agreement.

         18. This  Agreement  is personal  in nature and  neither  party  hereto
shall,  without  consent of the other,  assign or transfer this Agreement or any
rights or obligations  hereunder except as provided in section 11 and section 14
above. Without limiting the foregoing,  Employee's right to receive compensation
hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable,  whether by pledge,  creation
of a security interest or otherwise, other than a transfer by his will or by the
laws of descent or  distribution  as set forth in section 11 hereof,  and in the
event of any  attempted  assignment  or  transfer  contrary  to this  paragraph,
Employer  shall have no liability to pay any amounts so attempted to be assigned
or transferred.

this  purchase  price in cash at the time this  option  (or any  vested  portion
thereof) is exercised;  provided,  however that,  with the approval of the Board
Related  Affairs  Committee (the  "Committee"),  you may exercise your option by
tendering to Peoples Nonvoting Common Shares owned by you, or any combination of
whole Nonvoting Common Shares owned by you and cash,  having a fair market value
equal to the cash exercise  price of the shares with respect to which the option
is exercised by you. For this purpose, any shares so tendered shall be deemed to
have a fair market value equal to the mean between the highest and lowest quoted
selling prices for the shares on the date of exercise of the option (or if there
were no sales on such date the weighted average of the means between the highest
and lowest quoted selling prices on the nearest date before and the nearest date
after the date of  exercise  of the  option),  as  reported  in The Wall  Street
Journal or a similar  publication  selected by the  Committee.  To exercise this
option (or any vested portion thereof), you must send written notice to Peoples'
Secretary at the address noted in Section 13 hereof. Such notice shall state the
number of shares in

                                                        -1-

respect of which the option is being exercised,  shall state what portion of the
option  exercised is an incentive stock option or a  non-qualified  stock option
(in  accordance  with  Section 11  hereof)  and shall be signed by the person or
persons so exercising the option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of
the full cash option price for such shares or, if the Committee  has  authorized
the use of the stock swap  feature  provided  for above,  such  notice  shall be
followed as soon as  practicable  by the  delivery of the option  price for such
shares. Certificates evidencing Nonvoting Common Shares will not be delivered to
you until  payment has been made.  Under certain  circumstances,  subject at all
times to compliance  with  applicable  securities  laws, the Plan permits you to
deliver a notice to your broker to deliver the cash to Peoples  upon the receipt
of such cash from the sale of Nonvoting Common Shares.

         2. In addition to any adjustments required by Section 7 of the Plan, in
the event issuance of a share split or other share dividend consisting of shares
of Voting or Nonvoting  Common Shares,  the number of Nonvoting Common Shares to
be purchased  pursuant to this Agreement,  the purchase price of each share, and
the Closing Market Prices per share  triggering  exerciseability  of the options
under paragraph 1, above,  will be adjusted as follows:  (a) the total number of
shares to be  purchased  pursuant  to the option will be equal to the product of
(i) the total number of shares subject to the option before such issuance;  (ii)
a  fraction,  the  numerator  of which is the  total  number  of  common  shares
outstanding  immediately after such issuance and the denominator of which is the
total number of common shares  outstanding  immediately  prior to such issuance;
and (b) the  purchase  price of the shares  subject  to the  option and  Closing
Market  Prices  triggering  exerciseability  will  be  equal  to the  (i)  price
immediately before such issuance;  times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the total  number  of common  shares  outstanding  immediately  prior to such
issuance  and the  denominator  of which is the total  number  of common  shares
outstanding immediately after such issue.

          3. The term of this option (the  "Option  Term") shall be for a period
of ten (10) years from the date of this letter,  subject to earlier  termination
as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof.  Except as otherwise  provided  below,
the option may be  exercised at any time,  or from time to time,  in whole or in
part,  until the  Option  Term  expires,  but in no case may fewer than 100 such
shares be purchased at any one time,  except to purchase a residue of fewer than
100 shares.

         4. Thirty (30) days after you cease to be an employee of Peoples or any
of its subsidiaries  for any reason other than  retirement,  permanent and total
disability,  or death, this option shall forthwith terminate. If your employment
by Peoples or any of its  subsidiaries  is  terminated  by reason of  retirement
(which means such  termination  of  employment  as shall entitle you to early or
normal  retirement  benefits under any then existing  pension plan of Peoples or
one of its  subsidiaries),  Option Installment II and Option Installment III (if
such  installments  have not yet become  exercisable)  shall each  terminate and
expire immediately prior to such termination.  You may, however, exercise Option
Installment I (and, if they have not expired pursuant to the foregoing sentence,
Option Installment II and Option Installment III) in whole or in part within the
three (3) month period  following your  retirement  (but not later than the date
upon  which  this  option  would  otherwise  expire),   whether  or  not  Option
Installment I was otherwise exercisable on the date of retirement.  If you cease
to be an

                                                        -2-

<PAGE>



employee of Peoples or any of its  subsidiaries  because of your  permanent  and
total  disability,  Option  Installment II and Option  Installment  III (if such
installments  have not yet become  exercisable)  shall each terminate and expire
immediately  prior  to such  termination.  You  may,  however,  exercise  Option
Installment I (and, if they have not expired pursuant to the foregoing sentence,
Option  Installment  II and Option  Installment  III) in whole or in part at any
time within one (1) year after such  termination of employment by reason of such
disability  (but not later than the date upon which this option would  otherwise
expire),  whether or not Option  Installment I was otherwise  exercisable at the
time of termination.

          5. If you die while  employed  by Peoples or any of its  subsidiaries,
Option  Installment II and Option Installment III (if such installments have not
yet become  exercisable) shall each terminate and expire immediately at the time
of your  death.  However,  if you die while  employed  by  Peoples or any of its
subsidiaries,  within three (3) months after the  termination of your employment
because of  retirement,  or within one (1) year  after the  termination  of your
employment because of permanent and total disability, Option Installment I (and,
if they have not expired pursuant to the foregoing sentence,  Option Installment
II and  Option  Installment  III) may be  exercised  in whole or in part by your
executor, administrator, or estate beneficiaries at any time within one (1) year
after the date of your death (but not later than the date upon which this option
would  otherwise  expire),  whether or not Option  Installment  I was  otherwise
exercisable at the time of termination.

          6. This option is non-transferable  otherwise than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.
It may be  exercised  only by you or your  guardian,  if any, or, if you die, by
your executor,  administrator,  or beneficiaries of your estate who are entitled
to your option.

         7. All rights to exercise  this option will expire,  in any event,  ten
(10) years from the date of this letter.

         8.  Certificates  evidencing shares issued upon exercise of this option
may bear a legend  setting  forth among other  things such  restrictions  on the
disposition or transfer of the shares of Peoples as Peoples may deem  consistent
with applicable federal and state laws.

          9. Nothing in this option  shall  restrict the right of Peoples or its
shareholders to terminate your employment or service at any time with or without
cause.

          10. This option is subject to all the terms, provisions and conditions
of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference,  and to such regulations
as may from time to time be adopted by the Committee.  A copy of the Plan may be
obtained from the Secretary of Peoples. In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this letter, the terms,  conditions
and provisions of the Plan shall control,  and this letter shall be deemed to be
modified accordingly.

         11. To the extent possible,  this Stock Option Agreement is intended to
grant an option which meets all of the  requirements  of incentive stock options
as defined in Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue Code. To the extent possible,
and subject to and upon the terms,  conditions and provisions of the Plan,  each
and every  provision of this  Agreement  shall be  administered,  construed  and
interpreted  so that the option  granted herein shall so qualify as an incentive
stock option. To the extent the option cannot meet the requirements of incentive
stock  options,  the stock  option  shall be  treated as a  non-qualified  stock
option. Without limiting the foregoing, if options for shares having an exercise
price in excess of $100,000  (taking into account options held by you under your
agreement dated January 24, 1996) become  exercisable in any calendar year, then
options  first  becoming  exercisable  for the  number of whole  shares  with an
aggregate  exercise  price of not more than $100,000  shall be deemed  incentive
stock options and the remainder of such options shall be non-qualified  options.
To the extent the option is deemed a non-qualified  stock option, you are hereby
granted the right to receive, upon exercise of such non-qualified option, a cash
amount (cash award) in the amount necessary to reimburse you for federal,  state
and local income taxes  imposed on you as a  consequence  of the exercise of the
non-qualified stock option and the receipt of this cash award.

         12. You agree to advise Peoples  immediately  upon any sale or transfer
of any  Nonvoting  Common  Shares  received upon exercise of this option (or any
vested portion thereof) to the extent such sale or transfer takes place prior to
one year from the date of any  exercise  of this option or within two years from
the date hereof.

         13.  All  notices  by you to Peoples  and your  exercise  of the option
herein granted,  shall be addressed to Peoples Bank Corporation of Indianapolis,
130 East Market Street,  Indianapolis,  Indiana 46204, Attention:  Secretary, or
such other address as Peoples may, from time to time, specify.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        PEOPLES BANK CORPORATION OF
                                        INDIANAPOLIS

                            STOCK APPRECIATION AWARD

                                 PURSUANT TO THE
                    PEOPLES BANK CORPORATION OF INDIANAPOLIS
                                STOCK OPTION PLAN

         A stock  appreciation  award (the "Award") is hereby granted by Peoples
Bank  Corporation  of  Indianapolis  (the"Company")  to Gerald R.  Francis  (the
"Francis") on the terms set forth herein. This Award is subject to all terms and
definitions  set forth in the Peoples Bank  Corporation  of  Indianapolis  Stock
Option  Plan (the  "Plan")  which has been  adopted by the  Company and which is
incorporated by reference herein.

         1. Grant and Value of Award.  This  Award is granted in three  separate
installments   ("Installment")   which  shall  vest  at  different  times.  Each
Installment represents the right to receive payment from the Company at the time
of exercise of the following value in cash:


  Installment             Dollar Value               x       No. of Share
     Class                                                    Equivalents
       I                  (.6)[V - $22.625]          x          20,000-A
      II                  (.6)[V - $22.625]          x          22,000-B
      III                 (.6)[V - $22.625]          x          24,000-C

         The  value of V is equal to the  fair  market  value of one  Non-voting
Common Share of the Company on the date of exercise.

         The values of A, B and C in the above  formula are to be  determined by
the following  tables,  based on the calendar years in which the Installments of
the  Award  first  become  exercisable  under  Sections  2,  3 and 4  (for  each
Installment,  its "Vesting Date.") "Vesting Date I," for example,  refers to the
Vesting Date for Award Installment I.

         2. Exercise of Award. Each Award  Installment shall become  exercisable
based on the closing  market price of the  Company's  Nonvoting  Common  Shares,
without par value ("Common Shares") as follows:


                                                        Closing
              Installment                               Market
                 Class                                  Price*
                   I                                      $30
                  II                                      $35
                  III                                     $40

         * An  installment  becomes  exercisable  when the closing price for the
Common  Shares  reported on  Nasdaq-NMS  (or other  exchange on which the Common
Shares are then  traded) is equal to or greater  than the price set forth in the
table for at least 20 consecutive trading days.


                                                        -2-

         3. Acceleration of Vesting. Upon a Change of Control, as defined in the
Plan,  this Award shall  become  immediately  exercisable  in its  entirety.  In
addition,  Installment I shall become immediately exercisable in its entirety if
Francis'  employment  with Peoples Bank & Trust  Company  ("Bank") is terminated
either  without Cause or with Good Reason,  as defined in the Bank's  employment
agreement with Francis dated as of April 17, 1997.

         4.       Period of Exercisability.

                  (a)  Installment  I shall expire and  terminate on the date 30
         days following Francis'  termination of employment for any reason other
         than  retirement,  disability  or  death.  In  the  event  of  Francis'
         termination  of  employment  due to  retirement,  disability  or death,
         Installment I shall become exercisable but shall expire as indicated in
         the following table.



           Circumstance of
             Termination                          Expiration Date
             Retirement               3 months after termination of employment
            Disability or
        Death while employed           1 year after termination of employment
     Death within 3 months after
      Retirement OR Within One
     Year after Termination due
            to Disability                    1 year after date of death


                  (b) Installments II and III shall expire  immediately upon the
         Francis'  termination  of  employment  for any  reason or cause if such
         installments  are not then  exercisable  (based on the  conditions  set
         forth in Sections 2 or 3 of this  Agreement).  If Installment II or III
         is exercisable  upon Francis'  termination of employment  (based on the
         conditions  set forth in  Sections  2 or 3) for any  reason  other than
         retirement,  disability or death, then such installment shall expire on
         the date 30 days  following  Francis'  termination  of  employment.  If
         Installment II or III is exercisable (based on the conditions set forth
         in Sections 2 or 3) upon  Francis'  termination  of  employment  due to
         retirement,  disability or death,  then such  installment  shall remain
         exercisable  and expire in  accordance  with the table in Section  4(a)
         above.

                  (c) In no circumstances  shall the Award be exercisable  later
         than the date on which it would otherwise expire.

         5. Method of Exercise.  This Award may be exercised by a written notice
which shall:

                                                        -3-

<PAGE>




                  (a) state the election to exercise a portion of the Award, the
         number of share  equivalents and the Installment  with respect to which
         it is being  exercised,  and the address and Social  Security Number of
         the person exercising the Award.

                  (b) be signed by the person or persons  entitled  to  exercise
         the Award and, if the Award is being exercised by any person or persons
         other than Francis,  be accompanied by proof,  satisfactory  to counsel
         for the Company, of the right of such person or persons to exercise the
         Award; and

                  (c) be in writing and delivered in person or by certified mail
         to the Secretary of the Company.

         6. Withholding.  Francis hereby agrees that, upon exercise of the Award
or any portion of any Installment, the Company shall be entitled to withhold all
or any portion of the payment  due  Francis for such tax  withholding  as may be
required of the Company under  federal,  state,  or local law on account of such
exercise and on account of any other  compensation  received by Francis from the
Company or its subsidiaries.

         7. Limited  Transferability.  Only to the extent expressly permitted by
the Plan at the time, this Award may be transferred to Francis'  spouse,  lineal
ascendants, lineal descendants, or to a duly established trust for their benefit
or the benefit of Francis,  provided that such transferee  shall be permitted to
exercise this Award subject to all the same terms and  conditions  applicable to
Francis.  Otherwise, this Award is not transferable other than by will, the laws
of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.

         8.  Adjustments.  In the event of a stock split or stock dividend,  the
number of share  equivalents  and the base price used to determine  the value of
the Award under Section 1 shall be adjusted proportionately.

         9. Term.  This Award shall expire on April 17,  2007,  subject to early
termination  as set forth herein and may be  exercised  during such term only in
accordance  with the Plan and the terms of this Award.  In no case may the Award
be  exercised  for the value  determined  on the  basis of fewer  than 100 share
equivalents at any one time, except to purchase a residue of an Installment.

         (b) the average  Compensation  paid to that Participant with respect to
the last full  thirty-six (36)  consecutive  months ending on or before the date
his employment with the Company is terminated;

         less the sum of his Primary  Social  Security  Benefits (as  determined

month he  attains  age  sixty-five  (65) or, if later,  the  first  (1st)  month

         A Participant  who retires or otherwise  terminates his employment with
the  Company  for  reasons  other than his death  shall be  entitled  to receive
monthly supplemental pension benefits under this Plan only if:

                  (1) his employment with the Company terminates on or after his
         attainment of age sixty (60), or

                  (2) his  employment  with the Company  terminates by reason of

Participant is entitled shall be determined in accordance  with Article III. The
monthly  payments  shall  begin on the  first  (1st)  calendar  day of the month
coinciding with or next following the date on which a  Participant's  employment
with the Company is terminated and shall continue through the month in which his
death  occurs;  provided,  however,  that  if  payments  are  to  commence  to a
Participant  before his  attainment of age  sixty-five  (65), the amount of such
Participant's  monthly  supplemental  pension  benefits  shall be reduced to the

the  Company  Retirement  Plan;  provided,  further,  that  if  a  Participant's
employment  terminates because of his incurring a Total Disability,  his monthly
payments,  based on his average  Compensation  during the thirty-six (36) months
immediately  before such termination,  shall not commence until such Participant
has  attained  age sixty (60).  If any  Participant  whose  employment  with the
Company is  terminated by reason of his  incurring a Total  Disability  recovers
from that Total Disability before his attainment of age sixty-five (65) and does
not resume employment with the Company within sixty (60) calendar days after his
recovery,  if requested by the Company,  the payment of the monthly supplemental
pension  benefits by reason of this Section  shall cease upon the  conclusion of
such sixty (60) calendar day period; provided, however, that a Participant shall
not be deemed to have recovered from a Total Disability  unless such Participant
is deemed  to have  recovered  from the Total  Disability  for  purposes  of the
Company  Retirement  Plan.  If a  Participant's  employment  with the Company is
terminated  before his  attainment  of age sixty (60) for reasons other than his
death or Total  Disability,  such  Participant  shall  not be  eligible  for any
benefits  under this Plan. If a Participant  dies after  payments have commenced
hereunder  but before such  Participant  has received at least  one-hundred  and
eighty (180) monthly payments, monthly payments shall continue to be made to the
beneficiary

designated in writing to the Committee by such  Participant  until the aggregate
number of payments to such Participant and following his death to his designated
beneficiary  equal one hundred and eighty (180);  provided,  however,  that if a
Participant  does not  designate a  beneficiary,  his  beneficiary  shall be his
surviving spouse, and, if there is no surviving spouse, his beneficiary shall be
his estate. If a Participant's employment with the Company is terminated because
of his death,  such  participant  shall be entitled to a lump sum (not less than
zero) equal to 9.712 times the product of:

         (a)      twelve (12); times

         (b) the monthly  supplemental  pension benefit determined in accordance
with Article III;

          less the benefits payable under the Split Dollar  Insurance  Agreement
entered into between the Participant and the Company.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                 ADMINISTRATION

         Section  5.01.  Delegation of  Responsibility.  The  Administrator  may
delegate duties involved in the administration of this Plan to such other person
or persons whose services are deemed necessary or convenient, including, without
limitation any committee of the Board with oversight  responsibility  for any of
its  employee   benefits.   However,   the  ultimate   responsibility   for  the
administration of this Plan shall remain with the Administrator.

         Section 5.02.  Payment of Monthly  Benefits.  The monthly  supplemental
pension  benefits and the death  benefits  payable under this Plan shall be paid
solely from the general assets of the Company.  The Participants  shall not have
interest in any specific asset of the Company under the terms of this Plan. This
Plan shall not be  considered to create an escrow  account,  trust fund or other
funding  arrangement of any kind or a fiduciary relation between the Company and
any Participant.

inconsistency  in this  Plan in such  manner  and to such  extent as it may deem
expedient.  All  acts  and  determinations  of the  Board  shall  be  final  and
conclusive on the Participants and shall not be subject to appeal or review.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         Section  6.01.  Amendment  or  Termination  of Plan.  This  Plan may be
amended, modified, and supplemented in any respect or terminated by Board action
only if the continued operation of this Plan is deemed imprudent by the Board as
a result of changes in the law or other circumstances  outside of the control of
the Company; provided,  however, that, without the consent of a Participant,  no
amendment,  modification,  supplement or termination of this Plan shall have the
effect of  discontinuing  or of reducing  (a) the monthly  supplemental  pension
benefits being paid to a Participant  under Article IV of this Plan after he has
met one (1) of the conditions set forth under Article IV of

                                                        -8-

this Plan  entitling him to payments  under  Article IV of this Plan;  provided,
further,  that  unless  a  Participant  otherwise  consents,  in  the  event  of
termination  of this Plan  before the  commencement  of payment of any  benefits
under  Article IV hereof,  such  Participant  shall  continue  thereafter  to be
entitled to receive  supplemental pension benefits upon the terms and conditions
set  forth  herein,  but  such  benefits  shall  be  based  only on the  average
Compensation  paid to such  Participant with respect to the last thirty-six (36)

terminated.

interpreted  pursuant  to,  and in  accordance  with,  the laws of the  State of
Indiana.

         Section 6.04. No Employment Contract.  This Plan shall not be construed
as an  agreement,  consideration  or inducement of employment or as affecting in
any manner the rights or  obligations  of the Company or of any  Participant  to
continue or to terminate the employment relationship any time.

         Section  6.05.  Non-Alienation.  Neither a  Participant  nor his spouse
shall have any right to  anticipate,  to pledge,  to  alienate  or to assign any
rights  under  this Plan,  and any  effort to do so shall be null and void.  The
monthly benefits payable under this Plan shall be exempt from the claims of

applied to purchase  paid up  additional  insurance on  Employee's  life and the

                              (Policy Description)






                        SPLIT DOLLAR INSURANCE AGREEMENT

         THIS  AGREEMENT is effective  this 3rd day of  February,  1989,  by and
between  PEOPLES BANK & TRUST COMPANY (the "Bank") and William E. McWhirter (the
"Employee").

         WHEREAS,   the  Bank  highly   values  the  efforts,   abilities,   and
accomplishments of the Employee;

         WHEREAS,  the Employee is a member of a select group of management  and
one of the highly compensated employees of the Bank; and

         WHEREAS,  the  Bank,  as an  inducement  to  the  Employee's  continued
employment,  wishes to assist the  Employee  with his  personal  life  insurance
needs;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties named above agree as follows:

         1. Life Insurance Policy. The Bank shall  contemporaneously  purchase a
life insurance policy (the "Policy"),  which is described in Exhibit A, attached
hereto, and which is a whole life policy on the life of Employee.

         2.  Payment of  Premiums.  On or before the due date of the premiums on
the  Policy,  or within the grace  period  allowed by the  Policy's  issuer (the
"Insurer"),  the Bank shall pay the full  premium  amount due on the Policy.  In
addition,  the Bank shall  annually  notify the Employee of any amounts that are
required to be included in his income for federal income tax purposes due to the
Bank's payment of the premiums on the Policy.

         3.  Ownership of Policy.  The Bank shall be the sole and absolute owner
of the Policy, and may exercise all ownership rights granted to the owner of the
Policy by the Insurer, except as otherwise provided herein.

         4. Rights of the Employee in Policy. The Employee may select (or change
any prior  selection of) the  settlement  option of the Policy and may designate
(or change any prior designation of) the beneficiaries  entitled to receive that
portion of the death  benefits  described in Paragraph 7(b) of this Agreement by
specifying  the same in a  written  notice  to the Bank.  Upon  receipt  of such
notice, the Bank shall execute and deliver to the Insurer the forms necessary to
elect (or change any prior election of) the requested  settlement  option and to
designate  (or  change  any  prior  designation  of) the  requested  persons  as
beneficiaries to that portion of the death benefits  described in Paragraph 7(b)
of this Agreement.

         5. Policy Loans.  The Bank shall have the limited right to obtain loans
secured  by the  Policy.  The  amount of such  loans,  together  with any unpaid
interest thereon,  shall at no time exceed the amount the Bank would be entitled
to as determined  under the  provisions of Section 7(a) of this  Agreement.  The
interest due on such loans shall be a debt of the Bank owed to the Insurer.  The
Employee shall not have any right to obtain loans secured by the Policy.

         6. Use of  Dividends.  Any  dividends  declared on the Policy  shall be
applied to purchase  paid up  additional  insurance on  Employee's  life and the
dividend provision of the Policy shall be so structured.

         7. Interests in Death  Benefits.  The death benefits  payable under the
terms of the Policy shall be payable to each party to this Agreement as follows:

                  (a)      The Bank shall be entitled to the death benefits,  if
                           any, in excess of $600,000.

                  (b)      The Employee shall be entitled to the lesser of:

                              (Policy Description)








                        SPLIT DOLLAR INSURANCE AGREEMENT

         THIS  AGREEMENT is effective  this 1st day of  February,  1989,  by and
between  PEOPLES  BANK & TRUST  COMPANY  (the "Bank") and Charles R. Farber (the
"Employee").

         WHEREAS,   the  Bank  highly   values  the  efforts,   abilities,   and
accomplishments of the Employee;

         WHEREAS,  the Employee is a member of a select group of management  and
one of the highly compensated employees of the Bank; and

         WHEREAS,  the  Bank,  as an  inducement  to  the  Employee's  continued
employment,  wishes to assist the  Employee  with his  personal  life  insurance
needs;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties named above agree as follows:

         1. Life Insurance Policy. The Bank shall  contemporaneously  purchase a
life insurance policy (the "Policy"),  which is described in Exhibit A, attached
hereto, and which is a whole life policy on the life of Employee.

         2.  Payment of  Premiums.  On or before the due date of the premiums on
the  Policy,  or within the grace  period  allowed by the  Policy's  issuer (the
"Insurer"),  the Bank shall pay the full  premium  amount due on the Policy.  In
addition,  the Bank shall  annually  notify the Employee of any amounts that are
required to be included in his income for federal income tax purposes due to the
Bank's payment of the premiums on the Policy.

         3.  Ownership of Policy.  The Bank shall be the sole and absolute owner
of the Policy, and may exercise all ownership rights granted to the owner of the
Policy by the Insurer, except as otherwise provided herein.

                                                        -1-

         4. Rights of the Employee in Policy. The Employee may select (or change
any prior  selection of) the  settlement  option of the Policy and may designate
(or change any prior designation of) the beneficiaries  entitled to receive that
portion of the death  benefits  described in Paragraph 7(b) of this Agreement by
specifying  the same in a  written  notice  to the Bank.  Upon  receipt  of such
notice, the Bank shall execute and deliver to the Insurer the forms necessary to
elect (or change any prior election of) the requested  settlement  option and to
designate  (or  change  any  prior  designation  of) the  requested  persons  as
beneficiaries to that portion of the death benefits  described in Paragraph 7(b)
of this Agreement.

         5. Policy Loans.  The Bank shall have the limited right to obtain loans
secured  by the  Policy.  The  amount of such  loans,  together  with any unpaid
interest thereon,  shall at no time exceed the amount the Bank would be entitled
to as determined  under the  provisions of Section 7(a) of this  Agreement.  The
interest  due on such loans shall be a debt of the Bank owed to the Isurer.  The
Employee shall not have any right to obtain loans secured by the Policy.

         6. Use of  Dividends.  Any  dividends  declared on the Policy  shall be
applied to purchase  paid up  additional  insurance on  Employee's  life and the
dividend provision of the Policy shall be so structured.

         7. Interests in Death  Benefits.  The death benefits  payable under the
terms of the Policy shall be payable to each party to this Agreement as follows:

                  (a)      The Bank shall be entitled to the death benefits,  if
                           any, in excess of $250,000.

                  (b)      The Employee shall be entitled to the lesser of:

                           (i)      $250,000, or

                           (ii)     the total death benefits.

         8.       Termination of Agreement.

                  (a)      This Agreement  shall terminate on the first to occur
                           of the following:

                           (i)      Distribution  of death benefits  pursuant to
                                    Paragraph 7 of this Agreement.

                           (ii)     Termination  of Employee's  employment  with
                                    the Bank for reasons other than death.

                           (iii)    A change in control of the Bank (as  defined
                                    in  Paragraph 13 of this  Agreement)  before
                                    the Employee's attainment of age sixty (60).

                  (b)      In the event of the  termination  of this  Agreement,
                           the  rights of the  parties  shall be as set forth in
                           Paragraph  7  in  the  case  of a  termination  under
                           Paragraph 8(a)(i); as set forth in Paragraph 9 in the
                           case of a termination under Paragraph  8(a)(ii);  and
                           as  set  forth  in  Paragraph  10 in  the  case  of a
                           termination under Paragraph 8(a)(iii).

         9. Rights of Parties if Employee  Ceases  Employment.  In the case of a
termination  under Paragraph  8(a)(ii) of this Agreement,  the Bank shall be the
sole owner of the Policy and may  dispose of the Policy at its  discretion,  and
the Employee shall have no further interests in the Policy.

         10. Rights of Parties in Case of Change in Control of Bank. In the case
of a termination under Paragraph  8(a)(iii) before the Employee's  attainment at
age sixty (60),  the Employee  shall be entitled  during the sixty (60) calendar
day  period  beginning  on the date of the  change  in  control  of the Bank (as
defined in Paragraph 13 of this  Agreement)  to purchase the Bank's  interest in
the Policy by paying to the Bank an amount equal to the greater of:

                                                        -3-

<PAGE>



                  (a)      the amount  which  would be payable to the Bank under
                           Paragraph  7(a) of this Agreement if the Employee had
                           died at the time of termination; or

                  (b)      the surrender  value of the Policy at the time of the
                           change  in  control.  Upon  receipt  of the  required
                           amount,  the Bank shall transfer all of its title and
                           ownership interests in the Policy to the Employee.

         11. Annual Bonus.  On or before the January 31 following  each calendar
year this  Agreement  remains  in effect,  the Bank shall pay to the  Employee a
bonus equal to the product of:

                  (a)      the maximum marginal  individual  composite  Federal,
                           Indiana  and Marion  County  income tax rate  (taking
                           into account the deductibility for Federal income tax
                           purposes  of state and local  income  taxes,  if then
                           allowable,  and without regard to Section 1(g) of the
                           Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,  in effect
                           for  the  calendar   year  during  which  the  amount
                           described in Paragraph  11(b) below is required to be
                           recognized as income by the Employee); and

                  (b)      the amount  required to be included in the Employee's
                           gross income for Federal  income tax purposes in such
                           calendar  year  because  of  the  Bank's  payment  of
                           premiums on the Policy.

         12.  Right of  Employee to Assign  Rights.  Except for the right to the
annual bonus under Paragraph 11 of this Agreement, which right is not assignable
or otherwise transferable and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary,  the Employee shall have the right to absolutely  and  irrevocably
assign by gift all of his right,  title,  and interest in and to this  Agreement
and to the  Policy  to an  assignee.  This  right  shall be  exercisable  by the
execution and delivery to the

                                                        -4-

Bank of a written  assignment.  Upon receipt of such written assignment executed
by the  Employee  and duly  accepted  by the  assignee,  the Bank shall  consent
thereto in writing,  and shall thereafter  treat the Employee's  assignee as the
sole  owner of all the  Employee's  right,  title  and  interest  in and to this
Agreement and in and to the Policy  (other than the bonus  provided in Paragraph
11 of this Agreement).

         13.  Change  in  Control.  If any  "person"  (as  such  term is used in
Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) subsequent
to the effective date of this Agreement becomes the beneficial  owner,  directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Bank representing fifty-one percent (51%) or
more of the combined voting power of the  outstanding  securities of the Bank, a
change of control for purposes of Paragraph 8(a)(iii) shall have occurred.

         14.  Named  Fiduciary.  The  Bank is  hereby  designated  as the  named
fiduciary  under this  Agreement.  The named  fiduciary  shall have authority to
control and manage the operation and  administration  of this Agreement,  and it
shall be  responsible  for  establishing  and carrying out a funding  policy and
method consistent with the objectives and provisions of this Agreement.

         The named fiduciary shall make all determinations  concerning rights to
benefits  of the  Employee  under  this  Agreement.  Any  decision  by the named
fiduciary  denying a claim by the  Employee for  benefits  under this  Agreement
shall be stated in  writing  and  delivered  or  mailed  to the  Employee.  Such
decision shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial.  In addition,  the
named fiduciary shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Employee for a full
and fair review of the decision denying such claim.

         15.  Liability of Insurer.  The Insurer shall be fully  discharged from
its  obligations  under the Policy by payment of the Policy's  death benefits to
the beneficiary or beneficiaries named in the

                                                        -5-

Policy, subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy. In no event shall the
Insurer be  considered  a party to this  Agreement,  or to any  modification  or
amendment  hereof.  No  provision  in  this  Agreement  shall  be  construed  as
enlarging,  changing,  varying, or in any other way affecting the obligations of
the  Insurer  as  expressly  provided  in  the  Policy,  except  insofar  as the
provisions  hereof are made parts of the Policy by the beneficiary  designations
executed by the Bank and filed with the Insurer in connection herewith.

         16. Notices. Any and all notices,  elections,  offers,  acceptances and
demands  permitted  or  required  to be made  under this  Agreement  shall be in
writing, signed by the party giving such notice, election,  offer, acceptance or
demand and shall be delivered  personally,  or sent by  registered  or certified
mail, to the other party, at the address set forth under each party's  signature
at the end of this  Agreement,  or at such other  address as may be  supplied in
writing.  The date of personal delivery or the date of mailing,  as the case may
be, shall be the date of such notice, election, offer, acceptance or demand.

         17.  No  Waiver.  The  failure  of any  party  to  insist  upon  strict
performance of any covenant or any obligation hereunder shall not be a waiver of
such party's  right to demand  strict  compliance  therewith in the future,  nor
shall the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.

         18.  Integration.  This  Agreement  constitutes  the full and  complete
agreement of the parties.

         19. Captions.  Titles or captions of articles and paragraphs  contained
in  this  Agreement  are  inserted  only  as a  matter  of  convenience  and for
references,  and in no way define,  limit,  extend or describe the scope of this
Agreement or the intent of any provision hereof.

parties, and each party hereby covenants and agrees to execute all duplicates or

invalid or unenforceable,  such invalidity or unenforceability  shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of the remainder hereof, or of the application of
any such provision, sentence, clause, phrase or word in any other circumstances.

         23. Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, altered,
