</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: What is the purpose of the annual meeting?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">At the annual meeting, shareholders will act upon the matters outlined in the notice of
meeting accompanying this proxy statement, including the election of directors and the ratification
of the selection of Crowe Chizek and Company LLC as the independent registered public accounting
firm of the Corporation for the fiscal year ending December&nbsp;31, 2008. In addition, the
Corporation&#146;s management will report on the performance of the Corporation during the fiscal year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, and respond to questions from shareholders.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date, March&nbsp;12, 2008, are
entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and to vote the common shares that they held on
that date at the meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. Each shareholder is
entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on the record date.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: Who can attend the meeting?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">All shareholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the
meeting. Admission to the meeting will be on a first-come, first-admitted basis.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: What constitutes a quorum?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the common
shares outstanding on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the meeting to conduct
its business. As of the record date, 13,118,859 common shares of the Corporation were outstanding.
Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation
of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: How do I vote?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">If you complete and properly sign the accompanying proxy card and return it to us, it will be
voted as you direct. If you are a registered shareholder and attend the meeting, you may deliver
your completed proxy card in person. &#147;Street name&#148; shareholders who wish to vote at the meeting
will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds their shares.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: Can I vote by telephone or electronically?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">If you are a registered shareholder (that is, if you hold your shares in certificate form),
you may only vote in person or by written proxy.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">If your shares are held in &#147;street name,&#148; please check your proxy card or contact your broker
or nominee to determine whether you will be able to vote by telephone or electronically through the
Internet.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the
proxy is exercised by filing with the Secretary of the Corporation, Michael A. Carty, First
Financial Corporation, One First Financial Plaza, P.O. Box 540, Terre Haute, Indiana 47808, either
a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The powers of the proxy
holders will be suspended if you attend the meeting in person and so request, although attendance
at the meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: What are the Board&#146;s recommendations?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on
the proxy will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors (or &#147;Board&#148;).
The Board&#146;s recommendations are set forth together with the description of each proposal in this
proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote &#147;<B>FOR</B>&#148; election of the nominated slate of
directors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders
will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, in their best
judgment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: What vote is required to approve each item?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. A properly executed
proxy marked &#147;WITHHOLD AUTHORITY&#148; with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be
voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes
of determining whether there is a quorum.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by
proxy and entitled to vote will be required for the ratification of Crowe Chizek and Company LLC as
our independent registered public accounting firm. Action on any other matters to come before the
meeting must be approved by an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person, or
by proxy.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">If you hold your shares in &#147;street name&#148; through a broker or other nominee, your broker or
nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to
be acted upon. Thus, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares
may not be voted on those matters and will not be counted in determining the number of shares
necessary for approval. However, shares represented by such &#147;broker non-votes&#148; will be counted in
determining whether there is a quorum.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Q: What if other matters come up during the meeting?</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">If any matters other than those referred to in the notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders
properly come before the meeting, the individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote
the proxies held by them as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is
given, in accordance with their best judgment. The Corporation is not aware of any business other
than the items referred to in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders that may be considered
at the meeting.

time of the meeting (an event which the Board of Directors does not anticipate), the persons named
as proxies in the accompanying form of proxy will have discretionary authority to vote for a
substitute nominee or nominees
named by the Governance/Nominating Committee if the Board of Directors elects to fill such
nominees&#146; position. If any shareholder proposal intended to be presented at the 2008 Annual Meeting
was not received by the Corporation on or before February&nbsp;6, 2008, the proxies will have
discretionary authority to vote on the matter.

to the beneficial owners and to obtain authority to execute proxies. The Corporation will
reimburse the brokers, banks, voting trustees and other nominees and fiduciaries upon request. In

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>BOARD COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Corporation met 18
times. Each Director attended more than 75% of the aggregate of (i)&nbsp;all meetings of the Board held
while he or she was a director and (ii)&nbsp;all meetings of committees on which he or she served during
the period that he or she served on the committee. Although the Corporation has no formal policy
on director attendance at annual meetings of shareholders, they are encouraged to attend such
meetings. Eight directors attended the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Board of Directors has established a number of committees which facilitate the
administration and oversight of the Corporation. Among these committees are the Audit,
Compensation, and Governance / Nominating Committees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Governance/Nominating Committee</I></B>. Members consist of Messrs.&nbsp;O&#146;Leary, Gibson and Rich. The
Board of Directors has determined that Messrs.&nbsp;O&#146;Leary, Gibson and Rich are independent under the
rules of the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The Governance/Nominating Committee identifies director
nominees through a combination of referrals, including referrals from management, existing board
members and shareholders. The Governance/Nominating Committee currently does not maintain any
formal criteria for selecting directors and may take into consideration such factors and criteria
as it deems appropriate. However, in reviewing qualifications for prospective nominees to the
Board, the Governance/Nominating Committee may take into consideration, among other matters, the
prospective nominee&#146;s judgment, skill, educational background or equivalent lifetime experience,
integrity, reputation, possession of the ability to oversee the Corporation&#146;s business and affairs,
the time available to serve, community involvement, civic-mindedness, and business and other
experience. The Governance/Nominating Committee does not evaluate nominees proposed by shareholders
any differently than other nominees to the Board.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">This Committee met three times during 2007. A copy of the charter of this Committee is
available on the Corporation&#146;s web site at www.first-online.com.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Audit Committee</I></B>. Members consist of Anton H. George, Thomas T. Dinkel and Patrick O&#146;Leary. The
Board of Directors has determined that Messrs.&nbsp;George, Dinkel and O&#146;Leary are independent under
Rule&nbsp;10A-3 of the SEC and the rules of the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The Audit Committee
reviews the Corporation&#146;s operations and management, accounting functions, and the adequacy and
effectiveness of the internal controls and internal auditing methods and procedures and is
responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent
registered public accounting firm for the Corporation. The Audit Committee had four meetings during
2007. A copy of the charter of this Committee is posted on the Corporation&#146;s website at
www.first-online.com.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Board of Directors has determined that a current member of the Audit Committee is
financially sophisticated under applicable NASDAQ rules. The Board of Directors selected the
members of the Audit Committee based on the Board&#146;s determination that they are fully qualified to
monitor the performance of management, the public disclosures by the Corporation of its financial
condition and performance, our internal accounting operations and our independent auditors. In
addition, the Audit Committee has the ability on its own to retain independent accountants or other
consultants whenever it deems appropriate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Board of Directors has determined that the Corporation currently does not have a director
who qualifies as a &#147;financial expert&#148; under federal securities laws. To be considered a &#147;financial
expert,&#148; an individual&#146;s past experience generally must include experience in the preparation or
audit of comparable public company financial statements, or the supervision of someone in the
preparation or audit of comparable public company financial statements. While it might be possible
to recruit a person who meets these qualifications of a &#147;financial expert,&#148; the Board has
determined that in order to fulfill all the functions of our Board and our Audit Committee, each
member of our Board and our Audit Committee, including any &#147;financial expert,&#148; should ideally
understand community banking and understand the markets in which the Corporation operates, and that
it is not in the best interests of our Corporation to nominate as a director someone who does not
have all the experience, attributes and qualifications we seek.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><B><I>Compensation Committee</I></B>. Members consist of Messrs.&nbsp;George, O&#146;Leary and Rich. The Board of
Directors has determined that Messrs.&nbsp;George, O&#146;Leary and Rich are independent under the rules of
the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The Compensation Committee approves the compensation of the named
executive officers. This committee also administers the compensation plans of the Corporation.
The Compensation Committee met three times in 2007. A copy of the charter of this Committee is
available on the Corporation&#146;s website at www.first-online.com.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Compensation of Directors</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The goal of the compensation package is to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on
the Board of Directors. In setting compensation, the Board considers compensation levels of
directors of other financial institutions of similar size. In addition, directors are compensated
under the 2001 and 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which is directly linked to Corporation
performance (as described below). Each director of the Corporation is also a director of First
Financial Bank, N.A. (the &#147;Bank&#148;), the lead subsidiary bank of the Corporation, and receives
directors&#146; fees from each of the Corporation and the Bank. During 2007 each director of the
Corporation and the Bank received a fee of $750 for each board meeting attended. No changes were
made to director compensation arrangements in 2007 compared to 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Non-employee directors also receive a fee for each meeting attended of the Audit Committee of
$1,000, the Compensation Committee of $1,000, the Governance/Nominating Committee of $500 and the
Loan Committee of $300. Each director also received from the Bank a semi-annual director&#146;s fee of
$2,500 on July&nbsp;15th and December&nbsp;16th. No non-employee director served as a director of any other
subsidiary of the Corporation.

Corporation and the Bank may participate in the First Financial Corporation 2005 Directors&#146;
Deferred Compensation Plan. Under this plan, a director may defer up to $6,000 of his or her
director&#146;s fees each year over a five-year period provided that the director timely submits a
deferral election to the Corporation. The amount of deferred fees is used to purchase an insurance
product, which the Corporation is the beneficiary of, that funds benefit payments. An amount equal
to the face amount of the policy will be paid to the director in addition to an amount equal to the
tax savings the Corporation will receive by obtaining the proceeds from the policy on a tax-free
basis. Payment will be made in 120&nbsp;monthly installments beginning on the first day of the month
after the earlier of the director&#146;s 65th birthday or death. If the director is still a director at
the end of the five-year period, then he or she will be entitled to enter into a new deferred fee
agreement with the Corporation and/or the Bank. Each year from the initial date of deferral until
payments begin, the Corporation accrues a non-cash expense which will equal, in the aggregate, the
amount of the payments to be made to the director over the ten-year period. If a director fails
for any reason, other than death, to serve as a director during the entire five-year period, or the
director fails to attend at least 12 regular or special meetings each year, the amount of benefits
paid will be prorated appropriately. For 2007, the allocated cost of the deferred directors&#146; fees
was $176,867.

directors may receive 90%, 100% or 110% of the directors&#146; &#147;award amount&#148; if the Corporation and the

including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for similar transactions
with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other
unfavorable features. Loans made to directors and executive officers are in compliance with federal
banking regulations and thereby are exempt from the insider loan prohibitions included in the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Compensation Committee&#146;s executive compensation policies are designed to attract and
retain highly qualified persons as named executive officers, to provide competitive levels of
compensation to the named executive officers and to reward the named executive officers for
satisfactory individual performance and for satisfactory performance of the Corporation as a whole.
Additionally, the policies seek to provide a vehicle for the Committee to evaluate and measure the
performance of the Corporation and the executives in accordance with the results of those
evaluations. The individual goals established in the strategic plan and budget for the Corporation
and the Bank are also utilized in setting compensation levels of the named executive officers. The
Corporation seeks to achieve these objectives through a blend of both short and long-term
compensation.

ensure that remuneration levels and benefits are comparable to other similarly sized corporations
within our industry and reasonable using the guidelines described above. With respect to the named
executive officers other than the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the
Compensation Committee reviews and compares individual performance with respect to individual
goals, area goals, and Corporation goals. Because the Chairman of the Board and the Chief

inflation and also looks at a number of sources including WorldatWork &#151; Financial Institutions,
Buck Consultants, The Conference Board, Mercer, Hewitt and Culpepper Pay Trends. Salaries are
established based on the idea that increases should reward performance and not longevity.
Executives who exceed job expectations may be rewarded with an increase of greater than the overall
salary percentage increase. Executives who did meet job expectations may be rewarded at a
lower percentage increase, and those who do not meet job expectations may not be awarded a salary
increase.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Base salary for a named executive officer is determined after the officer&#146;s performance is
reviewed by the Compensation Committee. This review includes an analysis of the performance of the
Corporation and the Bank and an analysis of the individual&#146;s performance during the past fiscal
year, with a focus on the executive&#146;s quality and quantity of work; supervisory skills;
dependability; initiative; attendance; overall skill level; and overall value to the Corporation.
In addition, the Compensation Committee also refers, generally, to the Indiana Bankers Association
study of Midwestern banks for similarly-rated jobs. With respect to the Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee reviews and compares the performance of the
Corporation and the Bank to prior years and to the budget, and compares earnings per share, net
income, loans, and outstanding deposits to budget. Additionally, in determining salary for the
Corporation&#146;s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee
considers the compensation levels of comparable peers in the same geographical location (generally,
this consists of financial institutions in Midwestern markets with comparable demographics as the
Corporation with assets between $2&nbsp;billion and $5&nbsp;billion).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Annual Bonus Amounts. </I>The Compensation Committee determines whether an annual bonus should
be paid based primarily upon the overall performance of the Corporation and the Bank. Similar to
salary, bonus amounts are based upon a comparison of the Corporation&#146;s and the Bank&#146;s performance
to budget and prior year performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>First Financial Corporation 2001 and 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plans. </I>Beginning in 1999, the
Board began discussions with several consultants regarding compensation programs. These
discussions focused on an analysis of compensation programs of other financial institutions and
what actions were needed to provide comparable compensation packages to directors, officers and key
employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. These discussions and the analysis of the
information received culminated with the adoption by the Board in November&nbsp;2000 of the First
Financial Corporation 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;2001 Plan&#148;), effective January&nbsp;1, 2001.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The 2001 Plan was adopted after lengthy Board discussions with and consultation from an
independent consultant. The 2001 Plan was designed to enhance the Corporation&#146;s value to
stockholders by attracting and retaining qualified directors, officers and other key employees and
by providing further incentive for directors, officers and other key employees to give their
maximum effort to the continued growth and success of the Corporation. The 2001 Plan is an
unfunded, nonqualified plan of deferred compensation which is administered by the Compensation
Committee. The 2001 Plan was frozen effective December&nbsp;31, 2004 to exempt all amounts under the
2001 Plan from the application of Section&nbsp;409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the &#147;Code&#148;). The Board adopted the First Financial Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
&#147;2005 Plan&#148;) as a replacement plan, effective January&nbsp;1, 2005. The terms of the 2005 Plan comply
with the requirements of Code Section&nbsp;409A and related guidance. Collectively the 2001 Plan and
2005 Plan are referred to as the &#147;Plans.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Directors and executive officers who are considered highly compensated employees and who are
age 65 or under are eligible to participate in the 2005 Plan; however, the Compensation Committee
exempted Messrs.&nbsp;Smith and O&#146;Leary from the age limitations at each Plan&#146;s inception and exempted
Mr.&nbsp;Rich, who did not become a director until 2005, from the age limitation of the 2005 Plan. The
Compensation Committee has designated as participants in the 2005 Plan all directors of the
Corporation, the executive officers listed in the summary compensation table on the following page
and certain other officers. Individuals are not eligible to receive awards under the Plans after
age 65, except for Messrs.&nbsp;Smith, Rich and O&#146;Leary. Furthermore, because Mr.&nbsp;Brighton had not been
an employee or director for five years when he entered into the 2005 Plan, he will vest in 20% of
the Plan awards in his first year of participation, 40% in the second year, 60% in the third year,
80% in the fourth year, until he becomes 100% vested in the total awards after five years. Mr.
Rich, having joined the Corporation when there were four years remaining in the 2005 Plan, was
approved by the Compensation Committee to vest in the 2005 Plan in the amounts of 25% in his first
year of participation, 50% in
his second year of participation, 75% in his third year of participation, until he becomes 100%
vested in the total awards after four years.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Awards under the 2005 Plan are based upon the specific &#147;award amount&#148; for each individual
specified. There are four tiers of participants, with a different award amount specified for each
tier. The first tier consists of Mr.&nbsp;Smith and Mr.&nbsp;Lowery; the second tier consists of Messrs.
Carty, White and Clary; the third tier consists of other senior officers; and the fourth tier
consists of the directors. The award amounts were established after discussions with, and receipt
of, advice from the Corporation&#146;s consultant (the predecessor to Clark Consulting) when the 2001
Plan was established, who had performed an analysis of a peer group of companies for the
Corporation and the financial institutions industry generally.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Payments under the 2001 and 2005 Plans generally do not begin until the earlier of January&nbsp;1,
2015, or the January 1 immediately following the year in which the participant reaches age 65.
Payment may also be made upon death, disability, change in control or termination for other than
cause. Mr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s payout will not begin until the earlier of January&nbsp;1, 2010 or death,
disability, change in control or termination for other than cause. If a participant is a &#147;key
employee&#148; as defined by Code Section&nbsp;409A, then payments will be suspended for the six-month period
following the participant&#146;s separation from service. Payments are in cash only and are generally
made in 180 equal consecutive monthly installments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Life Insurance</I>. As an incentive for the named executive officers to remain with the
Corporation and the Bank, the Corporation also provides a life insurance program (the &#147;Life
Insurance Program&#148;) for the named executive officers of the Bank other than Mr.&nbsp;Smith. Under the
Life Insurance Program, the Bank purchased a life insurance policy on behalf of and pays the
premiums on behalf of each officer of the Bank. The policy is owned by the individual and is
intended to be fully paid at age 65 for those who were 55 or older, and at age 60 for those who
were less than 55&nbsp;years of age at the time the program was started.

&#147;Savings Plan&#148;) is a qualified salary reduction plan within the meaning of Code Section 401(k)
available to substantially all of the employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Under the
Savings Plan all eligible employees may elect to have a portion of their compensation deferred and
contributed to their individual accounts within the Savings Plan Trust. Subject to limits
established under the Internal Revenue Code, contributions may be directed in any whole percentage
between 1% and 50% of the employee&#146;s base compensation and certain variable pay including overtime
pay, bonuses, commissions, but excluding welfare benefits, deferred compensation, reimbursements
and expense allowances. Amounts contributed to a participant&#146;s individual account in the Savings
Plan may be invested, at the direction of the Savings Plan participant, in certain investment fund
choices made available for that purpose.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Retirement Plans</I>. The Corporation sponsors the First Financial Corporation Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the &#147;ESOP&#148;) and the First Financial Corporation Employees&#146; Pension Plan (the
&#147;Pension Plan&#148;) for the benefit of substantially all of the employees of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries. These plans together constitute a &#147;floor offset&#148; retirement program, so that the
Pension Plan provides each participant with a minimum benefit which is offset by the benefit
provided by the ESOP.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Under the terms of the ESOP, the Corporation or its subsidiaries, as participating employers,
may contribute Corporation common stock to the ESOP or contribute cash to the ESOP, which will be
primarily invested by the Bank, as the ESOP trustee, in the Corporation&#146;s common stock. The amount
of contributions, when they are made, is determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
No participant contributions are required or allowed under the ESOP. Participants have the right to
direct the voting of the shares of the Corporation&#146;s stock allocated to their accounts under the
ESOP on all corporate matters. Participants may elect to receive a direct payment of dividends
paid on shares of the Corporation&#146;s common stock allocated to their accounts or to have the

ten years of participation in the ESOP and attaining age 55 <FONT style="font-size: 70%"><SUP>1</SUP></FONT>/<FONT style="font-size: 60%">2</FONT>, an ESOP participant may elect to

Corporation&#146;s stock valued at $1,242,300 to the ESOP. The stock will be allocated to the
individual ESOP accounts of the participants who are eligible to receive allocations of those

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Defined Benefit Plan</I>. The Pension Plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the
Corporation for the benefit of substantially all of the employees of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries. The monthly guaranteed minimum benefit under the Pension Plan is reduced by the
monthly benefit derived from the vested portion of the participant&#146;s ESOP account balance,
calculated by the actuary for the Pension Plan as a single life annuity. Unless the participant
elects an alternate form of benefit under the Pension Plan, the normal retirement benefit, if any,
payable under the Pension Plan, will begin at the later of the participant&#146;s retirement or age 65
and be paid monthly for as long as the participant lives. Messrs Lowery, Carty, Clary and White,
having surpassed their 55<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> birthday and served the Corporation for more than 5&nbsp;years,
are eligible for early retirement under the Pension Plan. The Pension Plan allows for an early
retirement benefit equal to a participant&#146;s accrued benefit, determined before the reduction for
the monthly ESOP benefit, reduced by 1/180 for each full month for the first five years and 1/360
for each full month for the next five years that the commencement of benefit payments precedes the
participant&#146;s normal retirement date.

Pension Plan benefit. For example, a participant&#146;s ESOP benefit is $120,000 and his Pension Plan
benefit is $100,000. The $120,000 benefit will be paid from the ESOP and $0 will be paid from the
Pension Plan. However, if a participant&#146;s Pension Plan benefit exceeds his ESOP benefit, then the
participant will receive his ESOP benefit along with the amount the Pension Plan benefit exceeded
the ESOP benefit paid from the Pension Plan. For example, a participant&#146;s ESOP benefit is $100,000
and his Pension benefit is $120,000. The $100,000 benefit will be paid from the ESOP and $20,000
will be paid from the Pension Plan.

Supplemental Retirement Plan (the &#147;ESRP&#148;) provides supplemental retirement benefits for a select
group of management or
highly compensated employees to help recompense the employees for benefits reduced due to the
imposition of Code limitations on benefits under the Pension Plan. Amounts payable under the ESRP
are offset by amounts payable under the First Financial Executives&#146; Deferred Compensation Plan. The
ESRP was frozen effective December&nbsp;31, 2004 to exempt all amounts under the ESRP from Code Section
409A. The Board adopted The First Financial Corporation 2005 Executive Supplemental Retirement
Plan (the &#147;2005 ESRP&#148;) as a replacement plan, effective January&nbsp;1, 2005. The 2005 ESRP is designed
to comply with Code Section&nbsp;409A. Amounts payable under the ESRP will be offset by amounts payable
under the First Financial Corporation Executives&#146; Deferred Compensation Plan and amounts payable

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Executives&#146; Deferred Compensation Plan. </I>The First Financial Executives&#146; Deferred Compensation
Plan (the &#147;EDC Plan&#148;) permits a select group of management or highly compensated employees to elect
to defer compensation from the employers, in addition to that which can be deferred under the
Savings Plan, without regard to the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on the amount
of compensation which may be deferred. The EDC Plan also provides for a supplemental ESOP benefit
which is equal to the amount of the benefit a participant would have been allocated under the ESOP
if not for the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on the ESOP. Amounts payable under
the supplemental ESOP portion of the EDC Plan will offset amounts payable under the ESRP. The EDC
Plan was frozen effective December&nbsp;31, 2004 to exempt all amounts accrued under the EDC from Code
Section&nbsp;409A. The Board adopted the First Financial Corporation 2005 Executives&#146; Deferred

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Explanation of ESRP/EDC Arrangement</I>. The offset between the ESRP and the EDC works just like
the ESOP/Pension Plan offset. If a participant&#146;s EDC benefit exceeds the benefit he has accrued
under the ESRP, the participant will receive his EDC benefit in lieu of the ESRP benefit. For
example, a participant&#146;s EDC benefit is $120,000 and his ESRP benefit is $100,000. The $120,000
benefit will be paid from the EDC and $0 will be paid from the ESRP. However, if a participant&#146;s
ESRP benefit exceeds his EDC benefit, then the participant will receive his EDC benefit along with
the amount the ESRP benefit exceeded the EDC benefit paid from the ESRP. For example, a
participant&#146;s EDC benefit is $100,000 and his ESRP is $120,000. The $100,000 benefit will be paid
from the EDC and $20,000 will be paid from the ESRP.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Bank agreed to enter into an Employment Agreement with Norman L. Lowery, its President and
Chief Executive Officer, upon the beginning of Mr.&nbsp;Lowery&#146;s employment in January&nbsp;1996. The
Employment Agreement was finalized and became effective in 1997. It has been extended each year
since that time, and was last extended effective January&nbsp;1, 2008. The Employment Agreement is a
five-year agreement which may be extended on each anniversary by the board of directors of the Bank
for an additional one-year term. During the period of his employment, the Employment Agreement
requires that Mr.&nbsp;Lowery devote all of his full business time, attention, skill and efforts to the
faithful performance of his duties. He has also agreed to the following nonsolicitation,
noncompetition and nondisclosure provisions:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Nonsolicitation</I>. For a one year period after termination for any reason or the expiration of
the term, Mr.&nbsp;Lowery will not: (i)&nbsp;solicit any non-legal business of any party which is a customer
of the Bank at the time of such termination or during the one-year period immediately preceding
such termination, (ii)&nbsp;request or advise any customers or suppliers of the Bank to terminate,
reduce, limit or change their business or relationship with the Bank, or (iii)&nbsp;induce, request or
attempt to influence any employee of the Bank to terminate his employment with the Bank.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Noncompetition</I>. In the event Mr.&nbsp;Lowery voluntarily terminates his employment with the Bank,
he will not during the period of his employment, and for a period of two years following
termination: (i)&nbsp;engage in the same trade or business as the Bank which would conflict with the
interests of the Bank or in a trade or business
competitive with that of the Bank; or (ii)&nbsp;offer or provide employment to any person who then
currently is, or who within one year prior to such offer has been, a management-level employee of
the Bank.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>Nondisclosure</I>. Mr.&nbsp;Lowery will not, directly or indirectly, use any &#147;confidential
information&#148; (as defined in the agreement) for any purpose other than for the benefit of the Bank
provide any confidential information except as required in the normal course of his service as a
consultant or employee of the Bank during the term of the agreement and following termination of
the agreement until either (i)&nbsp;such confidential information becomes obsolete; or (ii)&nbsp;such
confidential information becomes generally known in the Bank&#146;s trade or industry by means other
than a breach of this covenant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Under the Employment Agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Lowery receives an annual salary equal to his current
salary, which is $467,960 for 2008, subject to increases approved by the Board of Directors, and is
entitled to participate in other bonus and fringe benefit plans available to the Corporation&#146;s and
the Bank&#146;s employees. Additional information regarding the terms of the Employment Agreement is
included in the narrative discussion under &#147;Potential Payment Upon Termination or Change in Control

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We have structured our compensation program to comply with Internal Revenue Code Sections
162(m) and 409A. Under Code Section&nbsp;162(m), a limitation was placed on tax deductions of any
publicly-held corporation for individual compensation to certain executives of such corporation
exceeding $1,000,000 in any taxable year, unless the compensation is performance-based. The
Corporation has no individuals with non-performance based compensation paid in excess of the
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) tax deduction limit. If an executive is entitled to
nonqualified deferred compensation benefits that are subject to Section&nbsp;409A, and such benefits do
not comply with Section&nbsp;409A, then the benefits are taxable in the first year they are not subject
to a substantial risk of forfeiture. In such case, the executive is subject to payment of regular
federal income tax, interest and an additional federal income tax of 20% of the benefit includible
in income.

    <TD>Awards of compensation equal 90%, 100% or 110% of the individual&#146;s award amount. The

Committee for the Corporation and each subsidiary financial institution. If the first target
level is not attained, no award is made. If the first, second or third levels of the
performance goals are attained, the award will equal 90%, 100% or 110% of the award amount,
respectively. Awards for 2007 were based on weighted point totals related to goals established

a change in control occurs that was not approved by a majority of the Board regardless of
whether his employment is terminated within 12&nbsp;months. If, as a result of a change in
control, Mr.&nbsp;Lowery becomes entitled to any payments which are determined to be payments
subject to the Code Section&nbsp;280G, the amount due Mr.&nbsp;Lowery will be increased to include
payment equal to the amount of excise tax imposed under Sections&nbsp;280G and 4999 of the Code

the Bank or the Corporation that, together with stock held by the person or group,
constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock.
However, if any person or group is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market
value or total voting power of the stock, the acquisition of additional stock by the same
person or group is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Bank or the
Corporation.

Bank or the Corporation that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40%
of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets immediately prior to such
acquisition(s). Gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Bank or the
Corporation, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any
liabilities associated with such assets. However, there is no change in control when there
is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the Bank or the
