in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements

with Purchaser being the surviving corporation in the Merger in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the Indiana Financial Institutions Act and the

such later time as shall be specified in such filing.
(d) Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger will

liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving
Corporation.
(e) Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the articles

(f) Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Purchaser shall
be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation until duly changed in

SECTION 2.02 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of

Consideration divided by the number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Merger, as calculated in accordance with Section 2.03 below. Any
Madison common stock that is owned by Madison as treasury stock shall be
8
canceled and shall cease to exist and no cash or other consideration shall be
delivered in exchange therefor.
SECTION 2.03 Merger Consideration.
--------------------------------------
(a) Merger Consideration Calculation. The aggregate consideration to be
paid to National City (the "Merger Consideration") shall be the sum of (i) the
Closing Total Equity Capital, plus (ii) the product of the Closing Deposits
Amount multiplied by the Deposits Premium (as to such product, the "Closing
Deposits Premium"), plus (iii) the product of the Closing Loans Amount
multiplied by the Loans Premium (as to such product, the "Closing Loans
Premium").
(b) Payment of the Merger Consideration. Purchaser shall pay the Merger
Consideration due to National City as follows:
(i) At the Effective Time, Purchaser shall pay an amount (the "Closing
Payment") equal to the sum of (A) the Reference Total Equity Capital, plus
(B) the Reference Deposits Premium, plus (C) the Reference Loans Premium,
by wire transfer or immediately available funds to such accounts and
pursuant to such wire instructions as are designated by National City in
writing.
(ii) Within three (3) Business Days of the final determinations of
"Closing Total Equity Capital," "Closing Deposits Premium," and "Closing
Loans Premium," the remaining balance of the Merger Consideration shall be
paid by Purchaser to National City, or any portion of the Closing Payment
shall be reimbursed by National City to Purchaser, as follows:
(A) If the Merger Consideration (as finally determined pursuant
to Section 2.03(c) below) is greater than the Closing Payment,
Purchaser shall make an additional payment to National City in an
amount equal to the positive difference between the final Merger
Consideration calculation and the Closing Payment.
(B) If the Merger Consideration (as finally determined pursuant
to Section 2.03(c) below) is less than the Closing Payment, then
National City shall make a payment to Purchaser in an amount equal to
the difference between the Closing Payment and the final Merger
Consideration calculation.
(c) Closing Payment Adjustment.
(i) As promptly as practicable, but in any event within forty-five
(45) Business Days following the last day of the month in which the Merger
occurs, Purchaser and National City shall agree upon the balance sheet of
Madison as of the Effective Time (the "Closing Balance Sheet") and the
corresponding "Total Equity Capital" (the "Closing Total Equity Capital"),
"Deposits" (the "Closing Deposits Amount"), and the book value of the
"Loans" (the "Closing Loans Amount") using the same accounting principles,
policies and practices used by Madison in preparation of the December 2004
Balance Sheet. For purposes of this Section 2.03(c)(i), "Deposits" shall
not include deposits of Government Authorities in excess of the amount of
deposits of Government Authority in the Madison Financial Statements.
9
(ii) If Purchaser and National City are unable to agree upon the
"Closing Total Equity Capital," "Closing Deposits Amount," and "Closing
Loans Amount," calculations, then, within ten (10) Business Days of such
determination, the items in dispute shall be submitted to an independent
auditor mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and National City for final
determination. The independent auditor shall deliver its calculations of
the "Closing Total Equity Capital," "Closing Deposits Amount," and "Closing
Loans Amount," calculations to Purchaser and National City within twenty
(20) Business Days of its engagement, and the determinations of the
independent auditor shall become binding, final and conclusive upon all of
the Parties and enforceable in a court of law. The fees and expenses of any
such auditor will be shared equally between Purchaser and National City.
The independent auditor shall not render any determination on matters that
involve taking evidence from non-accounting experts, nor shall the
independent auditor determine questions of law. The independent auditor
shall make its determination as an expert notwithstanding the failure of
either Party to provide the independent auditor with comfort letters or

except (i) filings with, and approval by, the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB")
and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), as applicable, (ii)

state takeover Law, (iv) any consents, authorizations, approvals, filings or
exemptions in connection with compliance with applicable provisions of federal
and state securities Laws relating to the regulations of broker-dealers,

permits, filings or notifications which, if not obtained or made will not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, or (vi) as may
be necessary as a result of any facts or circumstances relating solely to a
MainSource Group Member.
SECTION 3.05 Financial Information; Absence of Changes or Events.
(a) The December 2004 Balance Sheet and December 2004 Income Statement
(together, the "Madison Financial Statements") present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial condition and results of operations of Madison as of
December 31, 2004 and for the quarterly period then ended, and were prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to normal year-end adjustment
and the absence of notes.
(b) Since December 31, 2004, Madison has not (i) incurred any material
liability or obligation (indirect, direct or contingent), except in the ordinary
course of its business consistent with past practices (and except for the
entering into of this Agreement) or (ii) suffered any change, or any event
involving a prospective change, in its business, financial condition or results
of operation, which as to clauses (i) and (ii) has had, or is likely to have, a
Material Adverse Effect upon Madison.
SECTION 3.06 Litigation. (i) There is no Action pending against National
City (that arises from or relates to Madison) or Madison nor, to the Knowledge
of National City, is any such Action threatened, and (ii) there is no Action
against National City (that arises from or relates to Madison) or Madison
pending before any Governmental Authority or, to the Knowledge of National City,
threatened to be brought by or before any Governmental Authority, which, as to
clauses (i) and (ii) will, either alone or in the aggregate with all such other
matters, have a Material Adverse Effect upon Madison. Madison is not subject to
or affected by any Governmental Order, and, to the Knowledge of National City,
there are no Governmental Orders threatened to be imposed on or affecting
Madison by any Governmental Authority, which will, either alone or in the
aggregate with all such other matters, have a Material Adverse Effect upon
Madison.
12
SECTION 3.07 Taxes.
(a) Madison has filed all Tax Returns that it was required to file. All
such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes
owed by Madison (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid, and
Madison is not (i) delinquent in the payment of any Taxes shown on such returns
or reports or on any assessments received by it for such Taxes; (ii) aware of
any pending or threatened audit or examination for income taxes for any year by
the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or any state tax agency; or (iii) a party
to any action or proceeding with, nor has any claim been asserted against it by,
any Governmental Authority for assessment or collection of Taxes. Madison is not
currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax
Return, although it is anticipated to be extended in all pertinent filing
jurisdictions for purposes of all 2004 income-based Tax Returns. No claim has
ever been made by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction where Madison does
not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that
jurisdiction. None of the Tax Returns of Madison have been audited by the IRS or
any state tax agency for any period since the 2002 Tax year of Madison. The
reserve for Taxes in the Madison Financial Statements is, in the opinion of
management, adequate in all material respects to cover all of the tax
liabilities of Madison (including, without limitation, income taxes and
franchise fees) as of such date in accordance with GAAP. Madison is not bound by
any tax indemnity, tax sharing or tax allocation agreement or arrangement.
(b) Madison has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld
and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent
contractor, creditor, shareholder, or other Person.
(c) Madison has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes
or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or
deficiency, except as a member of National City's consolidated or unitary group.
SECTION 3.08 Regulatory Approvals. As of the Agreement Date, National City
has no reason to believe that any Governmental Authority would oppose or not
grant or issue its consent or approval, if requested, with respect to the
Merger, other than by reason of facts or circumstances relating solely to a
MainSource Group Member and/or its Affiliates.
SECTION 3.09 Legal Compliance.
(a) Madison is in compliance with all Laws except for such non-compliance
that, either alone or in the aggregate, is not reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect upon Madison. Madison possesses and holds all licenses,
franchises, permits, certificates and other authorizations necessary for the
continued conduct of its business without interference or interruption, except
where the failure to hold such license, franchise, permit, certificate and other
authorization is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect upon Madison.
(b) Neither National City nor Madison is a party to any written agreement
or memorandum of understanding with, or a party to any commitment letter or
similar undertaking to, or is subject to any Governmental Order or directive by,
or is a recipient of any extraordinary supervisory letter from, a Governmental
Authority that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing,
13
delaying, making illegal or otherwise interfering with the consummation of the
Merger or which will, either alone or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect upon Madison.
(c) All of the existing offices and branches of Madison have been legally
authorized and established in accordance in all material respects with all
applicable Laws. Madison has no approved but unopened offices or branches.
SECTION 3.10 Employee Matters; ERISA.

forth a true, complete and accurate list of all employees of Madison (the
"Madison Employees") as of the date set forth on Schedule 3.10(a), together with
their job title, rate of salary or wages, vacation benefits, and any profit
sharing, bonus or other form of compensation paid by Madison (other than salary)
for the benefit of such person for calendar year 2005.
(b) Madison is not a party to any collective bargaining or other labor
union contract applicable to Madison Employees, Madison is not negotiating a
collective bargaining agreement, and, to the Knowledge of National City, there
is no present effort nor existing proposal to attempt to unionize any group of
employees of Madison. As of the Agreement Date, there is no labor dispute,
strike or work stoppage against Madison pending or, to the Knowledge of National
City, threatened in writing that may interfere with Madison's business
operations.
(c) Schedule 3.10(c) attached to the National City Disclosure Letter sets
forth a true, complete and accurate list of each employee benefit plan, as
defined in ERISA, including (without limitation) any multiemployer plan (as
defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), and nonqualified employee benefit plans or
deferred compensation, bonus, stock or incentive plans, or other employee
benefit or fringe benefit programs for the benefit of former (currently payable
or payable in the future) or current employees or directors (or their
beneficiaries or dependents) of Madison (the "Madison Employee Plans"). To the
Knowledge of National City, since January 1, 2000 no present or former employee
of Madison has been charged with breaching nor has breached in any material
respect a fiduciary duty under any of the Madison Employee Plans. Madison does
not participate in, and has not in the past five (5) years participated in any
multiemployer plan. Except for the Madison Employee Plans, Madison does not
maintain, contribute to, or participate in, any plan that provides health, major
medical, disability or life insurance benefits to former employees or directors
of Madison. National City has provided to Purchaser a true, accurate and
complete copy of each Madison Employee Plan or a summary plan description
therefore.
(d) All liabilities of the Madison Employee Plans have been funded on the
basis of consistent methods in accordance with sound actuarial assumptions and
practices, and no Madison Employee Plan, at the end of any plan year, had or has
had an accumulated funding deficiency. No actuarial assumptions have been
changed since the last written report of actuaries on such Madison Employee
Plans. All insurance premiums (including premiums to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation) have been paid in full, subject only to normal
retrospective adjustments in the ordinary course. Except as may be noted on the
Madison Financial Statements, Madison has no contingent or actual liabilities
under Title IV of ERISA. No accumulated funding deficiency (within the meaning
14
of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code) has been incurred with
respect to any of the Madison Employee Plans, whether or not waived, nor does
Madison or any of its Affiliates have any liability or potential liability as a
result of the underfunding of, or termination of, or withdrawal from, any
Madison Employee Plan or by any Person which may be aggregated with Madison for
purposes of Section 412 of the Code. No reportable event (as defined in Section
4043 of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any of the Madison Employee Plans as
to which a notice would be required to be filed with the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation. No claim is pending, or to the Knowledge of National City,
threatened or imminent with respect to any Madison Employee Plan (other than a
routine claim for benefits for which plan administrative review procedures have
not been exhausted) for which Madison would be liable after December 31, 2004,
except as is reflected on the Madison Financial Statements. Madison has no
liability for excise Taxes under Sections 4971, 4975, 4976, 4977, 4979 or 4980B
of the Code or for a fine under Section 502 of ERISA with respect to any Madison
Employee Plan. All Madison Employee Plans have, in all material respects, been
operated, administered and maintained in accordance with the terms thereof and
in compliance with the requirements of all applicable Laws, including, without
limitation, ERISA.

Lease and its interest as fee simple owner of the Owned Real Property, Madison

remedies and except for other customary limitations on the validity and binding
nature thereof) on Madison, and is in full force and effect, and upon
consummation of the Merger, each Business Premises Lease will continue in full
force and effect without penalty or other adverse consequence. Neither Madison
nor, to the Knowledge of National City, is the lessor of a Business Premises
Lease, in breach or default under a Business Premises Lease, which default is
reasonably likely to have either, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect upon Madison. National City has made available to Purchaser a
true, correct and complete copy of each Business Premises Lease.
SECTION 3.12 Material Contracts.
(a) Except for the Business Premises Leases, Madison is not a party to or
bound by any of the following contracts (collectively, the "Material

the severance, of any officer or employee of Madison (other than pursuant
to a Madison Employee Plan) not terminable at will;

15
(iii) relate to the purchase of goods, products, supplies or services
in excess of $20,000 per annum; or

except for other customary limitations on the validity and binding nature
thereof) on Madison, and is in full force and effect, and upon consummation of
the Merger, each Material Contract will continue in full force and effect
without penalty or other adverse consequence that would be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect upon Madison. Neither Madison nor, to the
Knowledge of National City, is any other party to a Material Contract, in breach
or default under the Material Contract, which is reasonably likely to have
either, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect upon
Madison.

assignment in connection with the Merger.

simple absolute to all Owned Real Property free and clear of any Encumbrances

business since December 31, 2004 free and clear of all Encumbrances except for
the Permitted Personal Property Encumbrances.

operated property of Madison.

SECTION 5.05 Notification. To the extent a Party becomes aware of the
occurrence after the Agreement Date of any fact or condition that would (except

change. Each Party acknowledges (i) that no such disclosure or Schedule update

EMPLOYEE MATTERS
----------------
SECTION 6.01 Transferred Employees. For purposes of this Article VI,
"Transferred Employees" are defined as those employees who are employed by
Madison at the Effective Time, but excluding those employees who are receiving
benefits at the Effective Time (i) under the long-term disability plan sponsored
by National City, or (ii) under the short-term disability program sponsored by
National City (a "Short-Term Disability Employee"). If a Short Term Disability
Employee becomes eligible to work prior to termination of his short term
disability benefit, Purchaser will offer employment to such Short Term
Disability Employee that are comparable in pay and benefits enjoyed by such
Short-Term Disability Employee prior to the Effective Time. If the Short-Term
Disability Employee accepts the Purchaser's offer of employment, the Short-Term
24
Disability Employee will become a Transferred Employee and will be entitled to
all benefits provided to Transferred Employees under this agreement.
SECTION 6.02 Retirement. Prior to the Effective Time, National City shall
take all necessary action to amend any pension benefit plan sponsored by
National City (the "Retirement Plans") effective as of the Effective Time to
remove Madison as a participating employer in the Retirement Plans effective as
of the Effective Time. Further, National City shall, effective as of the
Effective Time, take all necessary actions to terminate participation of
Transferred Employees in any medical, life insurance, long term disability,
short term disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans
covering Transferred Employees, and National City will make all required
payments due for periods through the Effective Time.
SECTION 6.03 Service Recognition. Purchaser shall provide each Transferred
Employee with credit for past service years at Madison, National City and any
Affiliates, or any of them, for purposes of calculating eligibility to
participate, vesting and eligibility to receive benefits under any of
Purchaser's medical, dental, life insurance, long-term disability, 401(k) plan,
pension plan and vacation program or arrangement established or maintained for
the benefit of Transferred Employees after the Effective Time by Purchaser or
Madison for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Effective Time with
Purchaser and shall cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations,
eligibility waiting periods or required physical examinations under any welfare
benefit plans of Purchaser to be waived with respect to the Transferred
Employees and their eligible dependents.
SECTION 6.04 Severance Upon Termination of a Transferred Employee. If a
Transferred Employee's employment is terminated on or prior to the first
anniversary of the Effective Time, such Transferred Employee shall be entitled
to severance benefits on the same terms and conditions of the National City
Severance Benefit Plan. Such severance benefits shall be based on the
Transferred Employees service with Madison, National City or any of its
Affiliates, and such severance benefits shall be at least as great as those
benefits payable to such Transferred Employee under the National City Severance
Benefit Plan effective at the Effective Time.
SECTION 6.05 Performance Bonus. National City shall reimburse Purchaser for
the payment of any performance related bonus to a Transferred Employees that was
earned and not accrued prior to the Effective Time.
SECTION 6.06 COBRA. National City shall be responsible for the
administration of and shall retain any and all obligations and liabilities for
COBRA continuation coverage with respect to Transferred Employees and their
dependents and beneficiaries whose medical and/or dental coverage terminates
prior to the Effective Time, and Purchaser shall be responsible for all
obligations and liabilities for COBRA continuation coverage for Transferred
Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries for periods beginning on and
after the Effective Time.
SECTION 6.07 Earned Vacation. Madison shall pay all earned, but unused
vacation to Transferred Employees as of the Effective Time.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS
-----------
SECTION 7.01 Tax Returns for Periods Through the Effective Time.
(a) National City shall include the income of Madison (including any
deferred income triggered into income by Sections 1.1502-13 and 1.1502-14 of the
Regulations and any Excess Loss Accounts taken into income under Section
1.1502-19 of the Regulations) on the consolidated federal (and state) income Tax
Returns which includes National City for all periods through the Effective Time
and pay any federal (and state) income Taxes attributable to such income.
Purchaser shall cause Madison to furnish Tax information to National City for
inclusion in National City's federal (and state) consolidated income Tax Return
for the period that includes the Effective Time in accordance with Madison's
past custom and practice. National City shall allow Purchaser an opportunity to
review and comment upon such Tax Returns (including any amended returns) to the
extent that they relate to Madison. National City shall take no position on such
returns that relate to Madison that would have a Material Adverse Effect on
Madison (unless otherwise required under applicable law) on and after the
Effective Time. The income of Madison shall be apportioned to the period up to
the Effective Time and the period on and after the Effective Time by closing the
books of Madison as of the Effective Time.
(b) Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be
filed any Tax Returns of Madison for Tax periods that begin before the Effective
Time and end after the Effective Time. Purchaser shall allow National City an
opportunity to review and comment upon such Tax Returns (including any amended
returns) to the extent they relate to pre-Effective Time periods). National City
shall pay to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the date on which Taxes are
paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes
which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Effective Time
to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax liability
(rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing
differences between book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Closing
Balance Sheet. For purposes of this Section 7.01(b), in the case of any Taxes
that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that
includes (but does not end on) the Effective Time, the portion of such Tax that
relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Effective Time shall
(i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or
receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the
Taxable period ending on the Effective Time and the denominator of which is the
number of days in the entire Taxable period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax
based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which
would be payable if the relevant Taxable period ended on the Effective Time.
Notwithstanding the above, since the State of Indiana imposes taxes on personal
and real property which are not payable until the year subsequent to the year
assessed, National City shall be responsible for all Indiana property taxes
assessed as to Madison for the year 2004 payable in 2005 while Indiana property
taxes assessed as to Madison for the year 2005 payable in 2006 shall be
pro-rated as otherwise provided in this paragraph, but only to the extent such
Taxes were not accrued in the reserve for Tax liability of Madison on the
Closing Balance Sheet. Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins
before and ends after the Effective Time shall be taken into account as though
26
the relevant Taxable period ended on the Effective Time. All determinations
necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner
consistent with prior practice of Madison.
SECTION 7.02 Cooperation on Tax Matters.
(a) Purchaser and National City shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent
reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax
Returns pursuant to this Article VII and any audit, litigation or other
proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention
and (upon the other Party's request) the provision of records and information
which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding
and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
Purchaser and National City agree (i) to retain all books and records with
respect to Tax matters pertinent to Madison relating to any taxable period
beginning before the Effective Time until the expiration of the statute of
limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or National City, any
extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all
record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to
give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying
or discarding any such books and records, and, if the other Party so requests,
Purchaser or National City, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to
take possession of such books and records.
(b) Purchaser and National City further agree, upon request, to use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from
any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate,
reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited
to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
(c) Purchaser and National City further agree, upon the reasonable request
of the other Party, to provide the other Party with all information that either
Party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code and all
Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) Any Tax-sharing agreement between Madison and National City or any
National City subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Effective Time and
shall have no further effect for any taxable year.
SECTION 7.03 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp,
registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and
interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (including any transfer Tax
and any similar tax imposed in other states or subdivisions), shall be paid by
National City when due, and National City shall, at its own expense, file all
necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer,
documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees,
and, if required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other
documentation.

INDEMNIFICATION
---------------
SECTION 10.01 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any certificate
delivered pursuant hereto shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months
following the Effective Time; provided, however, (i) the representations and
warranties in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.20, 4.01, 4.02, 4.04 and 4.05
shall continue in full force and effect indefinitely thereafter, and (ii) the
representations and warranties in Section 3.07 shall continue in full force and

representation or warranty made by National City contained in this Agreement and
(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by National City.
SECTION 10.03 MainSource Group Members Indemnification. From and after the

SECTION 10.04 Third-Party Claims.
(a) Within twenty (20) days following the date on which an Indemnitee
receives a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall give deliver a Claim Notice
regarding such Third-Party Claim, together with copies of all notices,
pleadings, correspondence and other documents asserting or otherwise relating to
such Third-Party Claim, to the Indemnitor, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11.01 below. The Indemnitor shall have no liability for any
Indemnifiable Loss arising from any Third-Party Claim in respect of which a
Claim Notice is not timely delivered in accordance with the preceding sentence,
unless the Indemnitor has not been materially prejudiced in any material respect
to such failure to deliver the Claim Notice within the twenty (20)-day period.
(b) The Indemnitor shall have the right, at its option, to assume the
defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, a Third-Party Claim.
Assumption of the defense of a Third-Party Claim by the Indemnitor shall not
prejudice the right of the Indemnitor to claim at a later date that the
Third-Party Claim is not a proper matter for indemnification pursuant to this
Article X. If the Indemnitor shall undertake to compromise or defend a
Third-Party Claim, it shall promptly notify the Indemnitee of its intention to
do so within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice, and the
Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with the Indemnitor and its counsel in the
compromise of, or defense against, the Third-Party Claim as reasonably requested
by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not settle the
Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld) unless the relief consists solely of
money damages and includes a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the
matter releases the Indemnitee from all liability with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding an election to assume the defense of such action or proceeding,
the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to
participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnitor
shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if
(i) the Indemnitee shall have determined in good faith that an actual or
potential conflict of interest makes representation by the same counsel or the
counsel selected by the Indemnitor inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnitor shall
have authorized the Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at the Indemnitor's
expense. In any event, the Indemnitee and its counsel shall cooperate with the
Indemnitor and its counsel and keep such person informed of all developments
relating to the Third-Party Claim, provide copies of all relevant correspondence
and documentation relating thereto, and shall not assert any position in any
proceeding inconsistent with that asserted by the Indemnitor. All reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnitee's cooperation
shall be borne by the Indemnitor. In any event, the Indemnitee shall have the
right at its own expense to participate in the defense of such asserted
liability. In no event shall the Indemnitee settle the Third-Party Claim without
the written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld).
SECTION 10.05 Direct Claims. An Indemnitee may assert a claim not involving
a Third-Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") by delivering a Claim Notice to the
Indemnitor in accordance with Section 12.02 below, within twenty (20) days
following the date on which the Indemnitee becomes aware of the circumstances or
occurrence giving rise to the Direct Claim. The Indemnitor shall have no
liability for any Indemnifiable Loss arising from a Direct Claim in respect of
which a Claim Notice is not timely delivered in accordance with the preceding
sentence, unless the Indemnitor has not been materially prejudiced in any
material respect to such failure to deliver the Claim Notice with the twenty
31
(20)-day period. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within twenty
(20) days following its receipt of such Claim Notice that the Indemnitor
disputes its liability to the Indemnitee, the Direct Claim specified by the
Indemnitee in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed an Indemnifiable
Loss, and hereunder, subject to the provisions of this Article X, the Indemnitor
shall pay the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss to the Indemnitee within ten (10)
Business Days or, in the case of any Direct Claim as to which the amount of the
Indemnifiable Loss arising therefrom is estimated, within ten (10) Business Days
after such later date on which the amount of such Indemnifiable Loss is finally
determined.
SECTION 10.06 Limits on Indemnification.
(a) No Purchaser Indemnitee shall make any claim against National City for
any breach of National City's representations and warranties under this
Agreement unless (i) the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss suffered by a
Purchaser Indemnitee related to each individual claim exceeds $5,000 (the "De
Minimis Claims Amount"), and (ii) until the dollar amount of all claims in
excess of the De Minimis Claims Amount, together with any indemnification amount
payable by National City under this Article X, after deducting the credits
described in Section 10.06(b), shall exceed, in the aggregate (under all such
agreements), the amount of $300,000 (the "Basket"), and, if the Basket is
exceeded, shall be required to pay only the amount of any excess over the
Basket; provided that National City's obligation and liability for any and all
breaches of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall
not exceed, in the aggregate (under all such agreements), the amount of the sum
of the Closing Deposits Premium plus the Closing Loans Premium (the "Cap").
Notwithstanding the prior sentence, neither the Basket nor the Cap shall apply
to any claim against National City for any breach of representations and
warranties under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 and 3.20.
(b) In any case where an Indemnitee recovers from third Persons any amount
in respect of a matter to which an Indemnitor has indemnified it pursuant to
this Article X, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay over to the Indemnitor the
amount so recovered. In calculating the amount of an Indemnifiable Loss under
this Article X, the Indemnifiable Loss shall be net of and reduced by the amount
the Indemnitee recovers from third Persons, including any guarantee payments or
insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnitee.
SECTION 10.07 Exclusive Remedy. Except for remedies that cannot be waived
as a matter of Law, willful breach of this Agreement and injunctive relief, if
the Merger occurs, the rights under this Article X shall be the exclusive remedy
for breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Document (including any
covenant, obligation, representation or warranty contained herein or therein).
In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, any and all claims it may have against the other
Party or its Affiliates arising under or based upon any applicable Law
(including any claims arising under or based upon common law).

TERMINATION AND WAIVER
----------------------
SECTION 11.01 Termination. Anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary,
this Agreement may be terminated by written notice of termination at any time
prior to the Effective Time only as follows:
(a) by either National City or Purchaser if the Merger shall not have
occurred by September 30, 2005; provided, however, that the right to terminate
this Agreement under this Section 11.01(a) shall not be available to any Party
whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the
cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Merger to occur on or
prior to such date;
(b) by either Purchaser or National City in the event that any Governmental
Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and such order,
decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;
(c) by the mutual written consent of National City and Purchaser;
(d) by Purchaser, (i) at any time if the representations and warranties of
National City contained in Article III were incorrect in any respect (in the
case of any representation or warranty containing any materiality qualification)
or otherwise in any material respect when made or at any time thereafter and
such breach cannot be or is not cured within thirty (30) days after written
notice of such breach is given, or (ii) if National City or Madison breaches any
material covenant hereunder and such breach cannot be or is not cured within
thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is given by Purchaser to
National City; and
(e) by National City (i) at any time if the representations and warranties
of a MainSource Group Member contained in Article IV were incorrect in any
material respect when made or at any time thereafter and such breach cannot be
or is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is
given, (ii) if a MainSource Group Member has breached any material covenant
hereunder and such breach cannot be or is not cured within thirty (30) days
after written notice of such breach is given by National City to Purchaser, or
(iii) by July 31, 2005, if the MainSource Group Members have not closed on
financing in amounts sufficient (A) to provide for the funding of the Closing
Payment and Merger Consideration and (B) to enable each MainSource Group Member,
as of the Effective Time, to be "well capitalized" within the meaning of the
regulations applicable to the MainSource Group Member. For purposes of this
Section 11.01(e), "financing" shall not include any credit facility with
National City or any of its affiliates.
SECTION 11.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement as provided in Section 11.01 above, this Agreement shall forthwith
become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party except (i)
as set forth in Sections 3.11, 4.06, 5.02, 11.04 and 12.01 and (ii) that nothing
herein shall relieve a Party from liability for any willful breach of this
Agreement. In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason other
33
than pursuant to Sections 11.01(d) or 11.01(e) above, each Party shall bear all
expenses incurred by it in connection with this Agreement.
SECTION 11.03 Waiver. The Parties may (i) extend the time for the
performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (ii)
waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party
contained herein or in any document delivered by the other Party pursuant hereto
or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other
Party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set
forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. Any
waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a
waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement. The failure of any
Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any
of such rights.
SECTION 11.04 Termination Fee. In recognition of the efforts, expenses and
other opportunities foregone by Purchaser and National City while structuring
and pursuing the Merger, the Parties agree that a termination fee of $1,000,000
(the "Termination Fee") shall be paid by the applicable Party if this Agreement
is terminated:
(a) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.01(d) above and Purchaser is
not in breach of this Agreement, National City shall pay the Termination
Fee to Purchaser.
(b) (i) by National City pursuant to Section 11.01(e) above and
National City is not in breach of this Agreement, Purchaser and MainSource
Financial shall, jointly and severally, pay the Termination Fee to National
City.
Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are
an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that,
without these agreements, each Party would not have entered into this Agreement;
accordingly, if a Party fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this
Section 11.04, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other Party commences
an Action which results in a judgment against the other Party for the
Termination Fee, the payor Party shall pay to the payee Party its costs and
expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such
Action, together with interest on the amount of the Termination Fee at the rate
on six-month U.S. Treasury obligations plus 300 basis points in effect on the
date such payment was required to be made.

SECTION 12.03 Public Announcements. No Party shall make, or cause to be
made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news
media without the prior written consent of the other Party unless required by

advise the other Party prior to making the disclosure and allow the other Party
to comment upon the disclosure), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the
timing and contents of any such press release or public announcement.
SECTION 12.04 Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or
public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto
shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally
contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
SECTION 12.05 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the National City
Disclosure Letter, Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement
constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written
35
and oral, between the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof.
SECTION 12.06 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation
of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of National City and
Purchaser (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of
National City or Purchaser) and any attempted assignment without such prior
written consent shall be null and void.
SECTION 12.07 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of
Article X relating to Indemnities, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and
nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any
other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

except (i) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Parties
or (ii) by a waiver in accordance with Section 11.03 above.
SECTION 12.09 Binding Effect. This Agreement and the covenants, terms and
conditions set forth herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Indiana.
SECTION 12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of
which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
SECTION 12.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that
any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve
complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each Party hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally waives any right such Party may have to a trial by jury in
respect of any litigation, directly or indirectly, arising out of, or relating
to, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each
Party certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney
