AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of September 12, 2007 (“Agreement”), is made by
and between Integra Bank Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Integra”), and Peoples Community
Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Peoples”).
WHEREAS, Integra is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), and is the owner of all of the outstanding capital stock of Integra
Bank National Association, a national banking association (“Integra Bank”).
WHEREAS, Peoples is registered as a savings and loan holding company under the Home Owners’
Loan Act, as amended (“HOLA”) and is the owner of all of the outstanding capital stock of Peoples
Community Bank, a federally-chartered stock savings bank (“Peoples Bank”).
WHEREAS, Integra and Peoples have each determined that it is in the best interests of their
respective shareholders for Peoples to merge with and into Integra upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS, Peoples has received the opinion of Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc., its financial
advisor, that the consideration to be paid to shareholders of Peoples in the Merger is fair from a
financial point of view;
WHEREAS, the parties intend that immediately after the Merger becomes effective, Peoples Bank
shall merge with and into Integra Bank (the “Bank Merger”);
WHEREAS, the parties intend that the business combinations contemplated hereby qualify as a
“reorganization” under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”);
WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Integra to enter into this
Agreement, certain shareholders of Peoples have entered into a Shareholder Voting and Support
Agreement with Integra (the “Shareholders Agreement”) in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, pursuant to which, among other things, such shareholders agree to vote their
shares of Peoples Common Stock in favor of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;
and
WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Integra and Peoples have each approved this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and approved the execution and delivery of this
Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties
and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER AND THE BANK MERGER
Section 1.1 Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at
the Effective Time, Peoples will merge with and into Integra, the separate corporate existence of
Peoples will thereupon cease, and Integra shall survive and continue to exist (Integra, as the
surviving corporation, the “Surviving Corporation”) in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the “IBCL”) and the Maryland General Corporation Law
(“MGCL”).
Section 1.2 Effective Time. Prior to the Closing Date, Integra and Peoples
shall cause articles of merger complying with the requirements of the MGCL to be filed with the
State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (the “Maryland Articles of
Merger”) and articles of merger complying with the requirements of the IBCL to be filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Indiana (the “Indiana Articles of Merger”) specifying that the
Merger will become effective at 11:59 p.m. (CDT) on the day on which the Closing occurs (the
“Effective Time”).
Section 1.3 Effect of Merger. The Merger will have the effects specified in
the MGCL and IBCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Integra will continue to be
governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, and the separate corporate existence of Integra and
all of its rights, privileges, powers and franchises, public as well as private, and all its debts,
liabilities and duties as a corporation organized under the IBCL, will continue unaffected by the
Merger.
Section 1.4 Articles of Incorporation and By-laws. The Articles of
Incorporation and By-laws of Integra in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the
Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation, until amended in accordance
with applicable law.
Section 1.5 Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Integra
immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the directors and officers, respectively, of the
Surviving Corporation, from and after the Effective Time, until their successors have been duly
elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in
accordance with the terms of the Surviving Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws and
the IBCL.
Section 1.6 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the
Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, assignments or
assurances in law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to (a) vest, perfect or confirm, of
record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any
of the rights, properties or assets of Peoples, or (b) otherwise carry out the purposes of this
Agreement, Peoples and its officers and directors shall be deemed to have granted to the Surviving
Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments or
assurances in law or any other acts as are necessary or desirable to (i) vest,
perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or
interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of Peoples or (ii) otherwise carry
out the purposes of this Agreement and the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are
authorized in the name of Peoples or otherwise to take any and all such action.
2
Section 1.7 Bank Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B (the “Bank Merger Agreement”), and in accordance with the National Bank Act and the HOLA
(collectively the “Banking Laws”), Peoples Bank will be merged with and into Integra Bank. Peoples
Bank shall be the merging association and its separate corporate existence shall cease as of the
effective time of the Bank Merger. Integra Bank shall be the surviving association and shall
succeed to and assume all rights and obligations of Peoples Bank in accordance with the Banking
Laws. The Bank Merger shall have the other consequences provided for in the Bank Merger Agreement
and the Banking Laws.
Section 1.8 Absence of Control. Subject to any specific provisions of this
Agreement, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that neither Integra nor Peoples by
reason of this Agreement shall be deemed (until consummation of the transactions contemplated
herein) to control, directly or indirectly, the other party or any of its respective Subsidiaries
and shall not exercise, or be deemed to exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence
over the management or policies of such other party or any of its respective Subsidiaries.
Section 1.9 Change in Method of Effecting Transactions. Integra may at any
time change the method of effecting the business combinations with Peoples and Peoples Bank
(including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article I) if and to the extent it
reasonably deems such change to be desirable, including, without limitation, to provide for the
merger of Peoples into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra or the Merger of Peoples Bank into a
newly-formed or acquired financial institution Subsidiary or to change the effective time of the
Bank Merger; provided, however, that no such change shall (a) alter or change the
amount or kind of consideration to be issued to holders of shares of Peoples common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (“Peoples Common Stock”), as provided for in this Agreement, (b) materially
impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (c) result in
preventing the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the
Code.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION OF SHARES
Section 2.1 Conversion of Shares.
(a) At the Effective Time, each of the then outstanding shares of Peoples Common Stock
not owned by Integra or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra, except
for any such shares of Peoples Common Stock held in the treasury of Peoples, shall be
converted into the right to receive an aggregate of (i) 0.6175 share of
common stock of Integra, stated value $1.00 per share (“Integra Common Stock”), and the
related shares of Series A Preferred Stock, no par value, which are attached to and trade
with such shares (the “Stock Consideration”) and (ii) six dollars and thirty cents ($6.30)
(the “Cash Consideration”). The shares of Integra Common Stock comprising the Stock
Consideration and the Cash Consideration are collectively referred to as the “Merger
Consideration.”
3
(b) Each holder of Peoples Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to
receive a fraction of a share of Integra Common Stock as part of the Merger Consideration
shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share
of Integra Common Stock multiplied by the Market Price.
(c) At the Effective Time, each share of Peoples Common Stock held in Peoples’ treasury
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger, automatically and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled.
(d) At the Effective Time, each then-outstanding share of Peoples Common Stock owned by
Integra or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra will be canceled and
retired.
Section 2.2 Treatment of Stock Options. At the Effective Time, any stock
option granted by Peoples or its predecessors pursuant to Peoples’ existing stock option plans
(collectively, the “Peoples Option Plans”) that remain outstanding and unexercised, whether vested
or unvested, immediately prior to the Effective Time (an “Unexercised Option”), shall cease to
represent a right to acquire shares of Peoples Common Stock and each Unexercised Option shall be
converted into the right to receive cash in an amount (less any applicable withholding taxes) equal
to the product of (a) the number of shares of Peoples Common Stock subject to the original option,
multiplied by (b) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such
Unexercised Option. For purposes of this Section 2.2, the Integra Common Stock portion of the
Merger Consideration shall be valued at the Market Price. If the exercise price per share of any
Unexercised Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Unexercised Option
shall be canceled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof. Prior to the Closing,
Peoples, in consultation with Integra, shall take or cause to be taken any and all actions
reasonably necessary, including amendment of the Peoples Option Plans, and shall use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain any necessary consent of each holder of an Unexercised Option, (i) to give
effect to the treatment of Unexercised Options pursuant to this Section 2.2, to the extent such
treatment is not expressly provided for by the terms of the applicable Peoples Option Plans and
related award agreements, and (ii) to cause the actions contemplated by this Section 2.2 to be in
compliance with applicable Law, including Section 409A of the Code, if applicable.
Section 2.3 Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Integra shall designate Integra Bank to act as
exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in connection with the Merger pursuant to an exchange
agent agreement providing for, among other things, the matters set forth in this Section
2.3. Except as set forth herein, from and after the Effective Time, each holder of
a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding
shares of Peoples Common Stock (a “Certificate”) shall be entitled to receive in exchange
therefor, upon surrender thereof to the Exchange Agent, the Merger Consideration for each
share of Peoples Common Stock so represented by the Certificate surrendered by such holder
thereof. The certificates representing shares of Integra Common Stock included in the
Merger Consideration shall be properly issued and countersigned and executed and
authenticated, as appropriate.
4
(b) Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, Integra shall cause the
Exchange Agent to mail and/or make available to each record holder of a Certificate a notice
and letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of
loss and title to the Certificate shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificate
to the Exchange Agent) advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the
procedures to be used in effecting the surrender of the Certificate in exchange therefor.
Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of
transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereon, and
such other documents as may reasonably be requested, the Exchange Agent shall, within five
(5) Business Days, deliver to the person entitled thereto the Merger Consideration for each
share of Peoples Common Stock so represented by the Certificate surrendered by such holder
thereof, and such Certificate shall forthwith be canceled.
(c) If delivery of all or part of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a person
other than the person in whose name a surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a
condition to such delivery or exchange that the Certificate surrendered shall be properly
endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting
such delivery or exchange shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of
such delivery or exchange in a name other than that of the registered holder of the
Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Exchange Agent that such tax either has been paid or is not payable.
(d) Subject to Section 2.3(e) below, until surrendered and exchanged in accordance with
Section 2.1 and 2.3, each Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, represent solely the
right to receive the Merger Consideration, payable to the holder of the shares of Peoples
Common Stock evidenced by such Certificate, together with any dividends or other
distributions as provided in Sections 2.3(e) and 2.3(h) below, and shall have no other
rights. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to
treat such Certificates that have not yet been surrendered for exchange as evidencing the
right to receive the aggregate Merger Consideration into which the shares of Peoples Common
Stock represented by such Certificates may be converted, notwithstanding any failure to
surrender such Certificates. One hundred eighty (180) days following the Effective Time, the
Exchange Agent shall deliver to the Surviving Corporation or its successor any shares of
Integra Common Stock and funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) which
Integra has made available to the Exchange Agent and which have not been disbursed to
holders of Certificates, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the
Surviving Corporation or its successor (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other
similar laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares
and dividends or distributions,
if any, deliverable or payable upon due surrender of their Certificates. Neither the
Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any holder of shares of Peoples
Common Stock for any Merger Consideration (or dividends, distributions or interest with
respect thereto) delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
5
(e) Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Integra on Integra Common
Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, the declaration shall
include dividends or other distributions on all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement,
provided that no dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Integra
Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to
the share of Integra Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of such Certificate
shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. The Surviving
Corporation, or its successor, shall pay any dividends or make any other distributions with
a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared or made by Peoples on
Peoples Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the
Effective Time and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.
(f) In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate,
upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof in form satisfactory to
the Exchange Agent, the Merger Consideration, as may be required pursuant to this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Exchange Agent may, in its sole discretion and
as a condition precedent to the delivery of the Merger Consideration to which the holder of
such Certificate is entitled as a result of the Merger, require the owner of such lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against Peoples, Integra or the Exchange Agent or any
other party with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(g) Holders of unsurrendered Certificates will not be entitled to vote at any meeting
of Integra shareholders.
(h) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Integra Common Stock
shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of a Certificate or Certificates. No
dividends or distributions of Integra shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional
share and any such fractional share interest will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or
to any rights of shareholders of Integra. In lieu of any such fractional shares, holders of
Certificates otherwise entitled to fractional shares shall be entitled to receive promptly
from the Exchange Agent a cash payment in an amount equal to the fraction of such share of
Integra Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the
Market Price.
Section 2.4 Closing of Peoples’ Transfer Books. The stock transfer books of
Peoples shall be closed at the close of business on the date the Effective Time occurs. In the
event of a transfer of ownership of Peoples Common Stock which is not registered in the
6
transfer records of Peoples, the Merger Consideration to be distributed pursuant to this
Agreement may be delivered to a transferee, if a Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent,
accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by payment of any
applicable stock transfer Taxes. Integra and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the
stock transfer books of Peoples to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the
Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement for their shares of Peoples Common Stock, which
books shall be conclusive with respect to the ownership of such shares. In the event of a dispute
with respect to the ownership of any such shares, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent
shall be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration not already paid represented thereby in
escrow with an independent party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims to such
Merger Consideration.
Section 2.5 Changes in Integra Common Stock. If between the date of this
Agreement and the Effective Time, the shares of Integra Common Stock shall be changed into a
different number of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up,
combination or exchange of shares, or if a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record
date within said period, the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted proportionately such that the
holders will receive the same amount of Integra Common Stock as if the Integra Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the Merger had been outstanding at the record date for such reclassification,
recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, or dividend.

Section 3.7 Securities Reports; Financial Statements.
(a) All forms, reports and documents required to be filed by Integra with the
Commission since January 1, 2007 (the “Integra SEC Reports”), (i) were prepared in
accordance with the requirements of applicable Law and (ii) did not at the time they were
filed contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any related
notes thereto) contained in the Integra SEC Reports, including any Integra SEC Reports filed
after the date of this Agreement and prior to or on the Closing Date, have been or will be
prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods
involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or required by reason of a
concurrent change to GAAP) and each fairly presents in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of Integra and the Integra Subsidiaries as of the respective
dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows and changes in
financial position for the periods indicated, except that any unaudited interim financial
statements do not contain the footnotes required by GAAP and were or are subject to normal
and recurring year-end adjustments, which were not or are not expected to be material in
amount, either individually or in the aggregate. Integra has not had any dispute with any
of its auditors regarding accounting matters or policies during any of its past three (3)
full fiscal years or during the current fiscal year-to-date requiring disclosure pursuant to
Item 304 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Commission.
(c) Integra has made available to Peoples a complete and correct copy of any amendments
or modifications which are required to be filed with the Commission, but have not yet been
filed with the Commission, to (i) Integra SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof, and
(ii) Contracts which previously have been filed by Integra with the Commission pursuant to
the Securities Act and Exchange Act (together with Integra SEC Reports, the “Integra SEC
Documents”). Integra has timely responded to all comment letters and other correspondence
of the staff of the Commission relating to the Integra SEC Documents, and the staff has not
advised Integra that any final responses are inadequate, insufficient or otherwise
non-responsive. Integra has made available to Peoples complete and correct copies of all
correspondence between the Commission, on the one hand, and Integra and any of the Integra
Subsidiaries, on the other hand, with respect to the Integra SEC Documents. To Integra’s
Knowledge, none of the Integra SEC Documents is the subject of ongoing staff review or
outstanding comment.
(d) Integra and, to Integra’s Knowledge, each of its officers and directors, are in
compliance with and have complied in all material respects with (i) the applicable
provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, as amended (“Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx”), and (ii) the applicable listing and corporate
governance rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market. With respect to each Report
on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and each amendment of any such report included in the Integra SEC
Reports, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of
10
Integra have made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
at the time of such filing, and the statements contained in each such certification were
true and correct. Further, Integra has established and maintains “disclosure controls and
procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that are
reasonably designed to ensure that material information (both financial and non-financial)
relating to Integra and the Integra Subsidiaries required to be disclosed by Integra in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, and
that such information is accumulated and communicated to Integra’s principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the
certifications of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of
Integra required by Section 302 of Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx with respect to such reports. For
purposes of this Agreement, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer”
shall have the meanings given to such terms under Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx.
(e) Integra has established and maintains a system of internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) (“internal
controls”). To Integra’s Knowledge, based on its evaluation of internal controls prior to
the date hereof, such internal controls are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of Integra’s financial reporting and the preparation of Integra’s
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Integra has disclosed,
based on its most recent evaluation of internal controls prior to the date hereof, to
Integra’s auditors and audit committee (i) any significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses known to Integra in the design or operation of internal controls which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect in a material respect Integra’s ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any material fraud known to
Integra that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in internal
controls. Integra has made available to Peoples a summary of any such disclosure regarding
material weaknesses and fraud made by management to Integra’s auditors and audit committee
since December 31, 2004. For purposes of this Agreement, a “significant deficiency” in
internal controls means a control deficiency that adversely affects an entity’s ability to
initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in
accordance with GAAP. A “significant deficiency” may be a single deficiency or a
combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential
will not be prevented or detected. For purposes of this Agreement, a “material weakness” in
internal controls means a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
(f) Except (i) for those liabilities that are fully reflected or reserved against on
the consolidated balance sheet of Integra included in Integra’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007, and (ii) for liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice since June 30, 2007, neither Integra nor
any Integra Subsidiary has incurred any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due) that is
required to be disclosed on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP that has had,
or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on Integra.
11
(g) Integra has not been notified by its independent registered public accounting firm
or by the staff of the Commission that such accounting firm or the staff of the Commission,
as the case may be, is of the view that any financial statement included in any registration
statement filed by Integra under the Securities Act or any periodic or current report filed
by Integra under the Exchange Act should be restated, or that Integra should modify its
accounting in future periods in a manner that would have, or would be reasonably expected to
have, a Material Adverse Effect on Integra.
(h) Since December 31, 2006, none of Integra, the Integra Subsidiaries, any executive
officer of Integra or, to Integra’s Knowledge, any auditor, accountant or representative of
Integra or the Integra Subsidiaries, has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of
any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the
accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of Integra or the
Integra Subsidiaries or their respective internal controls, including any complaint,
allegation, assertion or claim that Integra or any Integra Subsidiary has engaged in
questionable accounting or auditing practices. To Integra’s Knowledge, no attorney
representing Integra or the Integra Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by Integra or the
Integra Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities laws,
breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by Integra, any Integra Subsidiary or any of
their officers, directors, employees or agents to Integra or any Integra Subsidiary’s Board
of Directors or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of Integra or any
Integra Subsidiary. Since December 31, 2006, there have been no internal investigations
regarding accounting or revenue recognition discussed with, reviewed by or initiated at the
direction of Integra’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, individuals
performing similar functions, general counsel, Integra’s or any Integra Subsidiary’s Board
of Directors or any committee thereof.
Section 3.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since December 31, 2006,
there has not been any change in the financial condition, results of operations or business of
Integra and its Subsidiaries which has had or will have a Material Adverse Effect on Integra.
Section 3.9 Fees. Except for fees paid and payable to Sandler X’Xxxxx &
Partners, L.P., neither Integra nor any of Integra’s Subsidiaries has paid or will become obligated
to pay any fee or commission to any broker, finder or intermediary in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 3.10 Financial Resources. Integra will have sufficient cash available
on the Closing Date to enable it to comply with its obligations to pay the cash portion of the
Merger Consideration and perform its other obligations under this Agreement.
12
Section 3.11 Litigation. There is no suit, action or Proceeding pending, or,
to the Knowledge of Integra, threatened against or affecting Integra or any Integra Subsidiary
which, if determined adversely to Integra, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Integra, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or Order of any
Governmental Entity or arbitrator, outstanding against Integra or any Integra Subsidiary having, or
which would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on Integra. Since January 1,
2004, Integra has continuously maintained fidelity bonds insuring them against acts of dishonesty
and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in such amounts as are customary, usual
and prudent for organizations of their size and business. To the Knowledge of Integra, there are
no facts which would form the basis of a claim or claims under such bonds or policies. Integra has
no reason to believe that its respective fidelity or directors’ and officers’ liability coverage
would not be renewed by the carrier on substantially the same terms as the existing coverage,
except for possible premium increases unrelated to Integra’s past claim experience.
Section 3.12 Compliance with Laws and Orders. The businesses of Integra and
each Integra Subsidiary are not being conducted in violation of any Law, judgment, Order, decree,
license or permit of any Governmental Entity (including, without limitation, all statutes, rules
and regulations pertaining to the conduct of the banking business and the exercise of trust
powers), except for violations which individually or in the aggregate do not, and would not
reasonably be expected to, have a Material Adverse Effect on Integra.
Section 3.13 Environmental Matters. To the Knowledge of Integra, neither
Integra nor any of the Integra Subsidiaries is in violation of or has any liability, absolute or
contingent, in connection with or under any Environmental Law, except any such violations or
liabilities which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Integra. To the Knowledge of Integra, none of the Loan Portfolio
Properties, Trust Properties and Other Properties of Integra is in violation of or has any
liability, absolute or contingent, under any Environmental Law or as a result of the presence of
any Hazardous Substances, except any such violations or liabilities which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integra. To the Knowledge of Integra, there
are no actions, suits, demands, notices, claims, investigations or Proceedings pending or
threatened relating to any Loan Portfolio Properties, Trust Properties and Other Properties of
Integra including, without limitation, any notices, demand letters or requests for information from
any federal or state environmental agency relating to any such liability under or violation of
Environmental Law, which would impose a liability upon Integra or any Integra Subsidiary pursuant
to any Environmental Law, except such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect on Integra.
Section 3.14 Integra Disclosure Letter. The Integra Disclosure Letter is
arranged in a format in which the disclosures made therein are arranged in sections corresponding
to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections of this Agreement and the matters expressly
disclosed in the Integra Disclosure Letter shall be specifically limited to the corresponding
representation and warranty to which such disclosure section relates and no implication or
inference shall be made in any other representation or warranty.
Section 3.15 Notice of Breach or Potential Breach. Integra shall promptly
notify Peoples of any change, circumstance or event which would cause any of the representations or
warranties made by Integra pursuant to this Agreement to be untrue as of the date hereof or at the
Closing Date or which prevents Integra from complying with any of its obligations
hereunder. To Integra’s Knowledge, there is no fact or development which would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Integra which has not been set forth in this
Agreement.
13
Section 3.16 Disclosure. No representation or warranty by Integra in this
Agreement, after giving effect to the disclosures set forth in the Integra Disclosure Letter,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated herein or therein or necessary to make any statement herein or therein not materially
misleading. Any claim by Peoples for a breach of representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or
obligation of Integra hereunder will not be affected by any investigation conducted by Peoples with
respect to, or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) with respect to, the accuracy or
inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or
obligation.

disclosure pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Commission.
(c) Peoples has made available to Integra a complete and correct copy of any amendments
or modifications which are required to be filed with the Commission, but have not yet been
filed with the Commission, to (i) Peoples SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof, and
(ii) Contracts which previously have been filed by Peoples with the Commission pursuant to
the Securities Act and Exchange Act (together with Peoples SEC Reports, the “Peoples SEC
Documents”). Peoples has timely responded to all comment letters and other correspondence
of the staff of the Commission relating to the Peoples SEC Documents, and the staff has not
advised Peoples that any final responses are inadequate, insufficient or otherwise
non-responsive. Peoples has made available to Integra complete and correct copies of all
correspondence between the Commission, on the one hand, and Peoples and any of the Peoples
Subsidiaries, on the other hand, with respect to the Peoples SEC Documents and prior to the
date hereof and will, reasonably promptly following the receipt thereof, make available to
Integra any such correspondence sent or received after the date hereof. To Peoples’
Knowledge, none of the Peoples SEC Documents is the subject of ongoing staff review or
outstanding comment.
(d) Peoples and, to Peoples’ Knowledge, each of its officers and directors, are in
compliance with and have complied in all material respects with (i) the applicable
provisions of Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx, and (ii) the applicable listing and corporate governance rules
and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market. With respect to each Report on Form 10-K and
Form 10-Q and each amendment of any such report included in the Peoples SEC Reports, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Peoples have made all certifications
required by Sections 302 and 906 of Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx at the time of such filing, and the
statements contained in each such certification were true and correct. Further, Peoples has
established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” that are reasonably designed
to ensure that material information (both financial and non-
17
financial) relating to Peoples
and the Peoples Subsidiaries required to be disclosed by Peoples in the reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and
forms of the Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
Peoples’ principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing
similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure
and to make the certifications of the principal executive officer and the principal
financial officer of Peoples required by Section 302 of Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx with respect to such
reports.
(e) Peoples Bank has established and maintains adequate internal controls and
procedures for financial reporting, and for complying with laws, in accordance with 12
C.F.R. § 363.2. Management has assessed the effectiveness of such internal control
structure and procedures for financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, and BKD, LLP, has
attested to, and reported separately on, management’s assertion of the effectiveness of
Peoples Bank’s internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.
(f) Except (i) for those liabilities that are fully reflected or reserved against on
the consolidated balance sheet of Peoples included in Peoples’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended June 30, 2007, and (ii) for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course
of business consistent with past practice since June 30, 2007, neither Peoples nor any
Peoples Subsidiary has incurred any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due) that is required to be
disclosed on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP that has had, or would
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on Peoples.
(g) Peoples has not been notified by its independent registered public accounting firm
or by the staff of the Commission that such accounting firm or the staff of the Commission,
as the case may be, is of the view that any financial statement included in any registration
statement filed by Peoples under the Securities Act or any periodic or current report filed
by Peoples under the Exchange Act should be restated, or that Peoples should modify its
accounting in future periods in a manner that would have, or would be reasonably expected to
have, a Material Adverse Effect on Peoples.
(h) Since December 31, 2006, none of Peoples, the Peoples Subsidiaries, any executive
officer of Peoples or, to Peoples’ Knowledge, any auditor, accountant or representative of
Peoples or the Peoples Subsidiaries, has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of
any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the
accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of Peoples or the
Peoples Subsidiaries or their respective internal controls, including any complaint,
allegation, assertion or claim that Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary has engaged in
questionable accounting or auditing practices. To Peoples’ Knowledge, no attorney
representing Peoples or the Peoples Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by Peoples or the
Peoples Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities laws,
breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by Peoples, any
18
Peoples Subsidiary or any of
their officers, directors, employees or agents to Peoples’ or any Peoples Subsidiary’s Board
of Directors or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of Peoples or any
Peoples Subsidiary. Since December 31, 2006, there have been no internal investigations
regarding accounting or revenue recognition discussed
with, reviewed by or initiated at the direction of Peoples’ Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer, individuals performing similar functions, general counsel, the
Peoples’ or any Peoples Subsidiary’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof.
Section 4.8 Taxes. Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries have timely filed all
Tax Returns required to be filed by them on or prior to the date of this Agreement (all such Tax
Returns being accurate and complete in all material respects), and Peoples and the Peoples
Subsidiaries have timely paid and discharged all Taxes due in connection with or with respect to
the filing of such Tax Returns, except such as are not yet due or are being contested in good faith
by appropriate Proceedings and with respect to which Peoples is maintaining reserves adequate for
their payment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Tax” or “Taxes” shall mean taxes, charges, fees,
levies and other governmental assessments and impositions of any kind payable to any governmental
authority, including, without limitation, (a) income, franchise, profits, gross receipts,
estimated, ad valorem, value-added, sales, use, service, real or personal property, capital stock,
license, payroll, withholding, disability, employment, social security, worker’s compensation,
unemployment compensation, utility, severance, production, excise, stamp, occupation, premiums,
windfall profits, transfer and gains taxes, (b) customs duties, imposts, charges, levies or other
similar assessments of any kind, and (c) interest, penalties and additions to tax imposed with
respect thereto; and “Tax Returns” shall mean returns, reports and information statements with
respect to Taxes required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any other
Governmental Entity, including, without limitation, consolidated, combined and unitary tax returns.
For purposes of this Section 4.8, references to Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries include
former subsidiaries of Peoples for the periods during which any such Persons were owned, directly
or indirectly, by Peoples. Neither the IRS nor any other Governmental Entity is now asserting,
either through audits, administrative Proceedings or court Proceedings, any deficiency or claim for
additional Taxes from Peoples or the Peoples Subsidiaries. Neither Peoples nor any of the Peoples
Subsidiaries has granted any waiver of any statute of limitations with respect to, or any extension
of a period for the assessment of, any Tax. Except for statutory liens for current Taxes not yet
due, there are no material Tax Liens on any assets of Peoples or any of the Peoples Subsidiaries.
Neither Peoples nor any of the Peoples Subsidiaries has received a ruling or entered into an
agreement with the IRS or any other Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes that would have a
Material Adverse Effect on Peoples. Except as set forth in the Peoples Disclosure Letter, no
agreements relating to allocating or sharing of Taxes exist among Peoples and the Peoples
Subsidiaries and no Tax indemnities given by Peoples or the Peoples Subsidiaries in connection with
a sale of stock or assets remain in effect. Neither Peoples nor any of the Peoples Subsidiaries is
required to include in income either (i) any amount in respect of any adjustment under Section 481
of the Code or (ii) any installment sale gain. Neither Peoples nor any of the Peoples Subsidiaries
(A) is a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group, other than one of which
Peoples was the common parent, or (B) has any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than
Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar
provision of state or local Law), as a transferee or successor, by Contract or otherwise.
19
Section 4.9 Employee Plans. Section 4.9 of the Peoples Disclosure Letter
lists all employee benefit, welfare, bonus, deferred compensation, pension, profit sharing, stock
option, employee stock ownership, consulting, severance, or fringe benefit plans, formal or
informal, written or oral and all trust agreements related thereto, relating to any present or
former
directors, officers or employees of Peoples or the Peoples Subsidiaries (“Peoples Employee
Plans”). All Peoples Employee Plans have been maintained, operated, and administered in
substantial compliance with their terms and currently comply, and have at all relevant times
complied, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1934, as amended (“ERISA”), the Code, and any other applicable Laws. With
respect to each Peoples Employee Plan which is a pension plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of
ERISA), each pension plan as amended (and any trust relating thereto) intended to be a qualified
plan under Section 401(a) of the Code either (a) has been determined by the IRS to be so qualified,
(b) is the subject of a pending application for such determination that was timely filed, or (c)
may still be submitted for such determination as an on-cycle filing under Revenue Procedure
2005-66. None of Peoples, any of the Peoples Subsidiaries, or any entity considered one employer
with any of them under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code has ever established or
maintained a pension plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or has ever been a participating employer in
a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA or a “multiple employer plan”
within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code. Each Peoples Employee Plan subject to Section
409A of the Code has been operated in good faith compliance with Code Section 409A since January 1,
2005. There is no basis for any Person to assert that Peoples or any of the Peoples Subsidiaries
has an obligation to institute any employee plan or any such other arrangement, agreement or plan.
Except for the Peoples Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) and the Recognition Plans,
no Peoples Employee Plan (or a related trust) holds any stock or other securities of Peoples or any
related Person or Affiliate. Neither Peoples nor a Peoples Subsidiary has used any insurance
policy to provide funding for a Peoples Employee Plan. Except as set forth in the Peoples
Disclosure Letter, neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) constitute a stated triggering event under any Peoples
Employee Plan that will result in any payment (whether pay or otherwise) becoming due from Peoples
or any of the Peoples Subsidiaries to any present or former officer, employee, director,
shareholder, consultant or dependent of any of the foregoing or (ii) accelerate the time of payment
or vesting, or increase the amount of compensation due, to any present or former officer, employee,
director, shareholder, consultant, or dependent of any of the foregoing. Except as set forth in
the Peoples Disclosure Letter, neither Peoples nor any of the Peoples Subsidiaries has any
obligations for retiree health or life insurance benefits under any Peoples Employee Plan. There
are no restrictions on the rights of Peoples or any of the Peoples Subsidiaries to amend or
terminate any such Peoples Employee Plan without incurring any liability thereunder, except as
provided in such plans or under applicable law.
Section 4.10 Material Contracts. Except as set forth in the Peoples
Disclosure Letter, neither Peoples nor any Peoples Subsidiary is a party to, or is bound or
affected by, or receives benefits under (a) any employment, severance, termination, consulting or
retirement agreement (collectively, “Benefit Agreements”) providing for aggregate payments to any
Person in any calendar year in excess of $50,000, (b) any material agreement, indenture or other
instrument relating to the borrowing of money by Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary or the guarantee
by Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary of any such obligation (other than trade payables and
20
instruments relating to transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business) or (c) any
other Contract or agreement or amendment thereto that Peoples should have filed as an exhibit to a
Form 10-K or (after August 23, 2004) a Form 8-K filed with the Commission as of the date of this
Agreement (collectively, the “Peoples Contracts”). Neither Peoples nor any Peoples
Subsidiary is in default under any Peoples Contract, which default is reasonably likely to
have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Peoples, and there has
not occurred any event that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute
such a default.
Section 4.11 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since December 31, 2006,
there has not been any change in the financial condition, results of operations or business of
Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary which has had or is reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on Peoples.
Section 4.12 Litigation. There is no suit, action or Proceeding pending, or,
to the Knowledge of Peoples, threatened against or affecting Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary
which, if determined adversely to Peoples, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Peoples, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or Order of any Governmental
Entity or arbitrator, outstanding against Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary having, or which would
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on Peoples. Since January 1, 2004,
Peoples and Peoples Bank have continuously maintained fidelity bonds insuring them against acts of
dishonesty and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in such amounts as are
customary, usual and prudent for organizations of their size and business. Except as set forth in
the Peoples Disclosure Letter, to the Knowledge of Peoples and Peoples Bank, there are no facts
which would form the basis of a claim or claims under such bonds or policies. Neither Peoples nor
Peoples Bank has reason to believe that its respective fidelity or directors’ and officers’
liability coverage would not be renewed by the carrier on substantially the same terms as the
existing coverage, except for possible premium increases unrelated to Peoples’ past claim
experience.
Section 4.13 Compliance with Laws and Orders. The businesses of Peoples and
each Peoples Subsidiary are not being conducted in violation of any Law, judgment, Order, decree,
license or permit of any Governmental Entity (including, without limitation, in the case of Peoples
Bank, all statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the conduct of the banking business and the
exercise of trust powers), except for violations which individually or in the aggregate do not, and
would not reasonably be expected to, have a Material Adverse Effect on Peoples.
Section 4.14 Agreements with Bank Regulators, Etc.
(a) Neither Peoples nor any of the Peoples Subsidiaries is subject to and, to Peoples’
Knowledge, there are no facts and/or circumstances in existence that will result in Peoples
or any of the Peoples Subsidiaries becoming subject to, any written Order, agreement,
memorandum of understanding or similar arrangement with, or a commitment letter or similar
submission to, or extraordinary supervisory letter from, or has adopted any extraordinary
board resolutions at the request of, any Governmental Entity charged with the supervision or
regulation of financial institutions or issuers of securities or
21
engaged in the insurance of
deposits or the supervision or regulation of it or any of the Peoples Subsidiaries, except
for the agreement dated March 21, 2007, with the OTS (the “OTS Agreement”). No Governmental
Entity has advised Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiaries in writing or, to Peoples’ Knowledge,
otherwise advised that it is
contemplating issuing or requesting (or is considering the appropriateness of issuing
or requesting) any such Order, agreement, memorandum of understanding or extraordinary
supervisory letter or any such board resolutions, nor, to Peoples’ Knowledge, has any
Governmental Entity commenced an investigation in connection therewith. To Peoples’
Knowledge, Peoples is in compliance with the OTS Agreement and will use its best efforts to
remain in compliance through the Closing Date. Subject to approval by the OTS, Peoples
shall hereafter furnish Integra with copies of all reports and correspondence sent by
Peoples to the OTS relating to the OTS Agreement.
(b) Peoples is not aware of, has not been advised of, and has no reason to believe in
the existence of, any facts or circumstances which would cause it or any of the Peoples
Subsidiaries to be deemed to be (i) operating in violation of The Currency and Foreign
Transactions Reporting Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended (the “Bank
Secrecy Act”), the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as
amended (the “Patriot Act”), the laws and regulations promulgated and administered by the
Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”), any Order issued with respect to anti-money
laundering by the United States Department of Justice or the United States Department of
Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), any Order issued by OFAC, or any
other applicable anti-money laundering Laws; or (ii) not in satisfactory compliance with the
applicable privacy and customer information requirements contained in any privacy, data
protection or security breach notification Laws, including, without limitation, Title V of
the Gramm Xxxxx Xxxxxx Act and the provisions of the information security program adopted
pursuant to 12 C.F.R Part 40. Peoples is not aware of any facts or circumstances which
would cause it to believe that any non-public customer information has been disclosed to or
accessed by an unauthorized third Person in a manner which would cause it or any of the
Peoples Subsidiaries to undertake any remedial action. Peoples (or where appropriate a
Peoples Subsidiary) has adopted and implemented an anti-money laundering program that
contains adequate and appropriate customer identification verification procedures that
comply with Section 326 of the Patriot Act and such anti-money laundering program meets the
requirements in all material respects of Section 352 of the Patriot Act and it (or such
other of the Peoples Subsidiaries) has complied in all respects with any requirements to
file reports and other necessary documents as required by the Patriot Act, the Bank Secrecy
Act or any other anti-money laundering Laws.
Section 4.15 Fees. Except for fees paid and payable to Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx &
Xxxxx, Inc. neither Peoples nor any Peoples Subsidiary has paid or will become obligated to pay any
fee (including any break-up or termination fee) or commission to any broker, finder, intermediary
or any other person in connection with, or as a result of, the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
Section 4.16 Vote Required. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Peoples Common Stock entitled to vote thereon (the “Required Peoples
Vote”) is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of Peoples capital stock necessary to
approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
22
Section 4.17 Environmental Matters. To the Knowledge of Peoples, neither
Peoples nor any of the Peoples Subsidiaries is in violation of or has any liability, absolute or
contingent, in connection with or under any Environmental Law, except any such violations or
liabilities which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Peoples. To the Knowledge of Peoples, none of the Loan Portfolio
Properties, Trust Properties and Other Properties of Peoples or any of the Peoples Subsidiaries is
in violation of or has any liability, absolute or contingent, under any Environmental Law or as a
result of the presence of any Hazardous Substances, except any such violations or liabilities
which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Peoples. To
the Knowledge of Peoples, there are no actions, suits, demands, notices, claims, investigations or
Proceedings pending or threatened relating to any Loan Portfolio Properties, Trust Properties and
Other Properties of Peoples including, without limitation, any notices, demand letters or requests
for information from any federal or state environmental agency relating to any such liability under
or violation of Environmental Law, which would impose a liability upon Peoples or any Peoples
Subsidiary pursuant to any Environmental Law, except such as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Peoples. Peoples has provided Integra with a
completed and accurate environmental questionnaire in the form provided by Integra for all property
owned, leased or operated by Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary and used in or held for future use
in Peoples’ business activities (other than space in retail and similar establishments leased or
operated for automatic teller machines). Section 4.17 of the Peoples Disclosure Letter sets forth
any such real property for which there is an affirmative response to any question in such
questionnaire.
Section 4.18 Labor. Neither Peoples nor any of the Peoples Subsidiaries is
engaged in, or has engaged in, any unfair labor practice. There is no labor strike, dispute,
slowdown or stoppage actually pending, or, to the Knowledge of Peoples, threatened, against or
directly affecting Peoples or the Peoples Subsidiaries. No union is currently certified, there is
no union representation question, and no union or other organizational activity that would be
subject to the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. Section 151 et seq.) exists or, to the
Knowledge of Peoples, is threatened. No grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or
under collective bargaining agreements is pending and no claims therefore exist, or to the
Knowledge of Peoples, are threatened. No collective bargaining agreement exists which is binding
on Peoples and/or the Peoples Subsidiaries. Neither Peoples nor any of the Peoples Subsidiaries
has experienced any material work stoppage or other material labor difficulty. Neither Peoples nor
any of the Peoples Subsidiaries is delinquent in any payments to any current or former officers,
directors, employees or independent contractor for any wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses,
benefits or other compensation for any services performed by them or amounts required to be
reimbursed to them.
Section 4.19 Material Interests of Certain Persons. No officer or director of
Peoples, or any “associate” of any such officer or director, has any material interest in any
material Contract or property (real or personal), tangible or intangible, used in or pertaining to
the business of Peoples or any of the Peoples Subsidiaries. No related person of Peoples or
Peoples Bank (as such term is defined in Instruction 1 to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the
Exchange Act) has been involved in any transaction or any currently proposed transaction with
Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary in which such person was or is to be a participant of and the
amount involved exceeds $60,000.
23
Section 4.20 Employment Agreements. Section 4.20 of the Peoples Disclosure
Letter lists each agreement, arrangement, commitment or Contract (whether written or oral) for the
employment, election, retention or engagement, or with respect to the severance, of any present or
former officer, employee, agent, consultant or other person or entity to which Peoples or any of
the Peoples Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by and which, by its terms, is not terminable by
Peoples or such Peoples Subsidiary on thirty (30) days written notice or less without the payment
of any amount by reason of such termination. Copies of each written (and summaries of each oral)
agreement, arrangement, commitment or Contract listed in the Peoples Disclosure Letter have been
previously made available to Integra by Peoples.
Section 4.21 Debt Obligations.
(a) Peoples has disclosed to Integra the terms and conditions of all loan, credit and
other agreements or arrangements relating to money borrowed by Peoples or any Peoples
Subsidiary exceeding $50,000 individually or in the aggregate, exclusive of agreements,
Contracts, instruments, commitments and understandings evidencing deposit liabilities of
Peoples Bank, agreements for the purchase of federal funds and repurchase agreements, sales
of certificates of deposits, advances from the Federal Reserve Bank or the Federal Home Loan
Bank, and other agreements, Contracts, and other instruments, commitments and understandings
made by Peoples Bank in the ordinary course of its business (collectively, “Ordinary Banking
Arrangements”). None of such agreements or arrangements is currently in default or will be
in default with the passage of time or require the Consent or approval of any third party
for the Merger to be consummated.
(b) Peoples Community Bancorp Capital Trust II is a Subsidiary of Peoples that issued
$15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of mandatorily redeemable debentures that are
presently outstanding (such securities and documents related thereto are referred to as the
“Trust Preferred Issue”). All representations and warranties made by Peoples were accurate
in all material respects when made. The Trust Preferred Issue was created, offered and sold
in compliance with applicable Law.
Section 4.22 Loan Portfolio.
(a) The Peoples Disclosure Letter lists as of August 31, 2007 each loan of Peoples Bank
that has been classified by the OTS, the FDIC, or management as “Other Loans Specially
Mentioned,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful” or “Loss” or that has been identified by accountants
or auditors (internal or external) as having a significant risk of uncollectability. The
most recent loan watch list of Peoples Bank and a list of all loans which Peoples Bank has
determined to be thirty (30) days or more past due with respect to principal or interest
payments or has been placed on nonaccrual status has been provided to Integra.
24
(b) All loans and discounts shown on the Peoples Financial Statements or which were
entered into after the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the Peoples
Financial Statements were and shall be made for good, valuable and adequate consideration in
the ordinary course of business of Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries,
in accordance with sound banking practices, and are not subject to any known defenses,
setoffs or counterclaims, including without limitation any such as are afforded by usury or
truth in lending laws, except as may be provided by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or similar laws or by general principles of equity. The notes or other evidences of
indebtedness evidencing such loans and all forms of pledges, mortgages and other collateral
documents and security agreements are, and shall be, valid, true and genuine and what they
purport to be and enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws or by general principles
of equity. Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries have complied and shall prior to the
Closing Date comply with all laws and regulations relating to such loans (including, without
limitation, Regulation O, 12 C.F.R. Section 215 et seq.), except where any such failure to
comply has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Peoples.
(c) The allowance for loan losses (“Allowance”) shown on the Peoples Financial
Statements is adequate in all respects under the requirements of GAAP applied on a
consistent basis to provide for possible losses on loans outstanding as of the respective
date.

or the Peoples Subsidiaries, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets of Peoples included in
the Peoples Financial Statements, are carried in accordance with GAAP.

describes all interest rate swaps, caps, floors, option agreements or other interest rate risk
management arrangements or agreements, whether entered into for the account of Peoples or one of
the Peoples Subsidiaries or for the account of a customer of Peoples. All such arrangements and
agreements disclosed in the Peoples Disclosure Letter were entered into in the ordinary course of
business and in accordance with prudent banking practice and applicable rules, regulations and
policies and with counterparties believed to be financially responsible at the time and are legal,
valid and binding obligations of Peoples or one of the Peoples Subsidiaries, enforceable in
accordance with their terms (subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’
rights generally from time to time in effect, and equitable principles relating to the granting of
specific performance and other equitable remedies as a matter of judicial discretion), and are in
full force and effect. Peoples and each of the Peoples Subsidiaries have duly performed all of
their obligations thereunder to the extent that such obligations to perform have accrued, and, to
the Knowledge of Peoples, there are no breaches, violations or defaults or allegations or
assertions of such by any party thereunder.
25
Section 4.25 Environmental Reports. Peoples shall use its best efforts to
facilitate the preparation of a report of a phase one environmental investigation conducted by a
company selected by and at the expense of Integra, for the real property set forth in Section 4.17
of the Peoples Disclosure Letter. If required by the phase one investigation, in Integra’s
reasonable opinion, Peoples shall use its best efforts to facilitate the preparation of a report of
a phase two investigation, at Integra’s expense, on properties requiring such additional study.
Should the cost of taking all remedial and corrective actions and measures (i) required by
applicable Law or
(ii) recommended or suggested by such report or prudent in light of serious life, health or
safety concerns, in the aggregate, exceed the sum of $500,000 as reasonably estimated by an
environmental expert retained for such purpose by Integra, or if the cost of such actions and
measures cannot be so reasonably estimated by such expert to be $500,000 or less with a reasonable
degree of certainty, then Integra shall have the right pursuant to Section 8.1(i) hereof, for a
period of sixty (60) days from the date of this Agreement to terminate this Agreement, which shall
be Integra’s sole remedy in such event.
Section 4.26 Fair Lending; Community Reinvestment Act. With the exception of
routine investigation of consumer complaints, neither Peoples nor Peoples Bank has been advised by
any Governmental Entity that it is or may be in violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act or
the Fair Housing Act or any similar federal or state statute. Peoples Bank received a Community
Reinvestment Act rating of “Outstanding” in its most recent CRA examination.
Section 4.27 Peoples Disclosure Letter. The Peoples Disclosure Letter is
arranged in a format in which the disclosures made therein are arranged in sections corresponding
to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections of this Agreement and the matters expressly
disclosed in the Peoples Disclosure Letter shall be specifically limited to the corresponding
representation and warranty to which such disclosure section relates and no implication or
inference shall be made in any other representation or warranty.
Section 4.28 Notice of Breach or Potential Breach. Peoples shall promptly
notify Integra of any change, circumstance or event which would cause any of the representations or
warranties made by Peoples pursuant to this Agreement to be untrue as of the date hereof or at the
Closing Date or which prevents Peoples from complying with any of its obligations hereunder. To
Peoples’ Knowledge, there is no fact or development which would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Peoples which has not been set forth in this Agreement.
Section 4.29 Disclosure. No representation or warranty by Peoples in this
Agreement, after giving effect to the disclosures set forth in the Peoples Disclosure Letter,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated herein or therein or necessary to make any statement herein or therein not materially
misleading. Any claim by Integra for a breach of representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or
obligation of Peoples hereunder will not be affected by any investigation conducted by Integra with
respect to, or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) with respect to, the accuracy or
inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or
obligation.
Section 4.30 No Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’, appraisal or similar
rights or demands shall be exercisable by any shareholder of Peoples in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, including, without limitation,
under Section 3-202 of the MGCL.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS
Section 5.1 No Solicitation of Transactions.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries will not,
nor will they authorize or permit any of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates or
employees or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative retained by
any of them to, directly or indirectly:
(i) solicit, initiate, encourage or induce the making, submission or
announcement of any Acquisition Proposal;
(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to
any Person any material non-public information with respect to, or take any other
action to facilitate any inquiry or the making of any proposal that constitutes or
may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; or
(iii) enter into any Contract relating to any Acquisition Transaction;
provided, however, this Section 5.1(a) shall not prohibit Peoples or
its Board of Directors from:
(A) furnishing material nonpublic information (other than information
regarding Integra supplied to Peoples by Integra) regarding Peoples or the
Peoples Subsidiaries to, or entering into a customary confidentiality
agreement with or entering or re-entering into discussions with, any Person
in response to an Acquisition Proposal submitted by such Person (and not
withdrawn) if (x) Peoples’ Board of Directors reasonably determines in good
faith, after taking into consideration the advice of and consultation with
an investment banking firm of national reputation (which includes Peoples’
current financial advisor), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is
reasonably likely to result in a Superior Offer, and (y) Peoples’ Board of
Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal
counsel, that failure to take such action is reasonably likely to result in
a breach by Peoples’ Board of Directors of its fiduciary obligations to
Peoples’ shareholders under applicable Laws, provided that in any such case
neither Peoples nor any representative of Peoples and the Peoples
Subsidiaries shall have violated any of the restrictions set forth in this
Section 5.1(a), or
(B) taking the actions described in the proviso of subsection (c),
below, as permitted thereby, provided that none of Peoples, the Peoples
Subsidiaries or any representatives of Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries
shall have violated any of the restrictions set forth in this Section
5.1(a).
27
At least five (5) Business Days prior to furnishing any material nonpublic information
to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, any Person, Peoples shall:
(i) give Integra written notice of the identity of such Person and Peoples’
intention to furnish material nonpublic information to, or enter into discussions or
negotiations with, such Person; and
(ii) receive from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing
customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all written and oral nonpublic
information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of Peoples, and
contemporaneously with furnishing any such information to such Person, Peoples shall
furnish such information to Integra (to the extent such information has not been
previously furnished by Peoples to Integra).
Nothing in this Section 5.1(a) shall prevent Peoples or the Peoples’ Board of Directors
from complying with Rules 14e-2 and 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to
an Acquisition Proposal. Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries will immediately cease, and
will cause each of their officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, investment bankers,
attorneys and other advisors or representatives to immediately cease, as of the date hereof,
any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any other Persons
conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, subject to the right to renew
such activities, discussions or negotiations in accordance with this Section 5.1. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the
restrictions set forth in this Section 5.1 by any officer, director, employee or Affiliate
of Peoples or any of the Peoples Subsidiaries or any investment banker, attorney or other
advisor or representative retained by any of them shall be deemed to be a breach of this
Section 5.1 by Peoples.
(b) In addition to the obligations of Peoples set forth in Section 5.1(a), Peoples as
promptly as practicable shall advise Integra orally and in writing of any request received
by Peoples, any Peoples Subsidiary or any of their officers, directors, employees,
Affiliates, investment bankers, attorneys and other advisors or representatives after the
date hereof for information which Peoples reasonably believes would lead to an Acquisition
Proposal or of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry received by Peoples, any Peoples
Subsidiary or any of their officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, investment bankers,
attorneys and other advisors or representatives after the date hereof with respect to, or
which Peoples reasonably believes would lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, the material
terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and the identity of
the Person making such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. Peoples will keep Integra
informed in all material respects of the status and details (including material amendments
or proposed amendments) of any such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.
28
(c) Except as provided herein below: (i) Peoples’ Board of Directors shall recommend
that Peoples’ shareholders vote in favor of and to adopt and approve this Agreement and the
Merger at the Peoples Shareholders Meeting (the “Peoples’ Board of
Directors Recommendation”); (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement of the
Peoples’ Board of Directors Recommendation; and (iii) neither Peoples’ Board of Directors
nor any committee thereof shall withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve
to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Integra (in any event, a
“Change of Recommendation”), Peoples’ Board of Directors Recommendation; provided,
however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Peoples’ Board of Directors
from (i) withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying the Peoples’ Board of Directors
Recommendation or (ii) not including in the Proxy Statement the Peoples’ Board of Directors
Recommendation if, in either case, Peoples’ Board of Directors reasonably determines in good
faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, due primarily to facts or
circumstances coming to the attention of Peoples’ Board of Directors after the date of this
Agreement, the failure to take such action is reasonably likely to result in a breach by
Peoples’ Board of Directors of its fiduciary obligations to Peoples’ shareholders under
applicable Law.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.1, in the
event that Peoples’ Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with
outside counsel, that in light of a Superior Offer it is necessary to do so in order to
comply with its fiduciary duties to Peoples or the Peoples’ shareholders under applicable
Law, Peoples’ Board of Directors may terminate this Agreement in the manner contemplated by
Section 8.1(h) solely in order to concurrently enter into a definitive agreement with
respect to a Superior Offer, but only after the tenth (10th) day following
Integra’s receipt of written notice advising Integra that Peoples’ Board of Directors is
prepared to accept a Superior Offer, and only if, during such ten (10) day period, if
Integra so elects, Peoples and its advisors shall have negotiated in good faith with Integra
to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable
Peoples to proceed with the transactions contemplated herein on such adjusted terms.
Section 5.2 Interim Operations of Peoples. During the period from the date of
this Agreement to the Effective Time, except as required to comply with the OTS Agreement or as
otherwise approved expressly in writing by Integra (which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed):
(a) Peoples shall, and shall cause each Peoples Subsidiary to, conduct their respective
businesses only in, and not take any action except in, the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice. Peoples shall use reasonable efforts to preserve intact the
business organization of Peoples and each Peoples Subsidiary, to keep available the services
of its and their present key officers and employees and to preserve the goodwill of those
having business relationships with Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary. Other than in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, Peoples and each Peoples
Subsidiary shall not (i) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money, (ii) assume, guarantee,
endorse or otherwise as an accommodation become responsible for the obligations of any other
individual, corporation or other entity, or (iii) make any loan or advance (it being
understood, with reference to Peoples Bank, that the ordinary course of business includes,
among other things, Ordinary Banking Arrangements).
29
(b) Peoples shall not and shall not permit any Peoples Subsidiary to make any change or
amendment to their respective Articles of Incorporation or By-laws (or comparable governing
instruments) in a manner that would materially and adversely effect such party’s ability to
consummate the Merger or the economic benefits of the Merger to Integra.
(c) Peoples shall not, and shall not permit any Peoples Subsidiary to, (i) issue or
sell any shares of capital stock or any other securities of any of them (other than pursuant
to the exercise of Unexercised Options), (ii) issue any securities convertible into or

understanding or arrangement with respect to the issuance of, any shares of capital stock or
any other securities of any of them, (iii) modify the terms of any Unexercised Option; (iv)
enter into any arrangement or Contract with respect to the purchase or voting of shares of
their capital stock, (v) adjust, split, combine or reclassify any of their capital stock or
other securities or (vi) make any other changes in their capital structures. Neither Peoples
nor any Peoples Subsidiary shall grant any additional stock options after the date hereof.
(d) Peoples shall not, and shall not permit any Peoples Subsidiary to, declare, set
aside, pay or make any dividend or other distribution or payment (whether in cash, stock or
property) with respect to, or purchase or redeem, any shares of the capital stock of any of
them other than (i) quarterly cash dividends paid in the ordinary course of business not to
exceed $0.15 per quarter (ii) dividends paid by any Peoples Subsidiary to Peoples or another
Peoples Subsidiary with respect to its capital stock and (iii) dividends paid by any Peoples
Subsidiaries with respect to the Trust Preferred Issue.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Peoples shall not, and shall not
permit any Peoples Subsidiary to, adopt or amend (except as required by law or other
contractual obligations existing on the date hereof, including changes to comply with
Section 409A of the Code) any bonus, profit sharing, compensation, severance, termination,
stock option, pension, retirement, deferred compensation, employment or other employee
benefit agreements, trusts, plans, funds or other arrangements for the benefit or welfare of
any director, officer or employee, or (except for normal merit increases in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice not to exceed 5% for any individual)
increase the compensation or fringe benefits of any director, officer or employee or pay any
benefit not required by any existing plan, agreement or arrangement (including, without
limitation, the granting of stock options or stock appreciation rights) or take any action
or grant any benefit not required under the terms of any existing agreements, trusts, plans,
funds or other such arrangements or enter into any Contract to do any of the foregoing.
30
(f) Peoples will modify and change its loan, litigation, real estate valuation, asset,
liquidity and investment portfolio policies and practices (including loan classifications
and level of reserves) prior to the Effective Time so as to be consistent on a mutually
satisfactory basis with those of Integra and GAAP, at the earlier of (i) such time as
Integra acknowledges that all conditions to its obligations to consummate the
Merger set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3 below have been waived or satisfied or (ii)
immediately prior to the Closing Date.
(g) Peoples shall not take any action that would (i) materially delay or adversely
affect the ability of the parties to obtain any approvals of any Governmental Entity
required to permit consummation of the Merger or the Bank Merger; (ii) materially adversely
affect the ability of Peoples to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or cause its representations and warranties
not to be true and correct in all material respects; (iii) prevent the Merger from
qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code; or (iv) result
in a Material Adverse Effect on Peoples.
Section 5.3 Interim Operations of Integra. During the period from the date of
this Agreement to the Effective Time, without the prior written consent of Peoples, Integra shall
not declare or pay any extraordinary or special dividend on the Integra Common Stock or take any
action that would (a) materially delay or adversely affect the ability of the parties to obtain any
approvals of any Governmental Entity required to permit consummation of the Merger or the Bank
Merger; (b) materially adversely affect the ability of Integra to perform its obligations under
this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or cause its representations
and warranties not to be true and correct in all material respects; or (c) prevent the Merger from
qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.
Section 5.4 Employee Matters.
(a) On and after the Effective Time, Integra shall maintain and cause to be
administered according to their lawful terms all Peoples Employee Plans, except to the
extent they are lawfully amended or terminated by Integra.
(b) For purposes of all Integra employee plans and employee policies (for example, and
without limitation, vacation and sick leave policies), Integra shall credit employees of
Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries who become employees of Integra or the Surviving
Corporation as a result of the Merger with all service with Peoples, any Peoples
Subsidiaries, or any predecessor employer (to the extent such service has been recognized by
Peoples under the Peoples Employee Plans) for purposes of eligibility and vesting as if such
service had been performed for Integra or a Subsidiary thereof, but not for purposes of
benefit accrual. From and after the Effective Time, Integra shall cause any and all
pre-existing condition limitations under its health plan or disability plans to be waived
with respect to Peoples employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent that such
conditions were covered by Peoples’ health or disability plans, respectively. Integra shall
cause its health plan to credit employees of Peoples and the Peoples Subsidiaries and their
eligible dependents with year-to-date deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses incurred under
Peoples’ health plan toward satisfaction of applicable deductibles and out-of-pocket
expenses under Integra’s health plan for the plan year in which the Merger occurs.
31
(c) Upon and after the Merger, Peoples employees shall have benefits that in the
aggregate are no less favorable than the benefits enjoyed generally by similarly situated
Integra employees.
(d) Peoples shall take any such actions as are necessary to ensure that (i) Peoples
employees who are participants in the ESOP have the opportunity to direct the ESOP trustee
as to the voting, with respect to the Merger, of the number of shares of Peoples Common
Stock allocated to their ESOP accounts, (ii) the ESOP trustee will vote, with respect to the
Merger, the number of shares of Peoples Common Stock held by the ESOP but not allocated to
the ESOP participants’ accounts, as provided under the terms of the ESOP, (iii) the ESOP
trustee has the authority necessary to exchange the Peoples Common Stock held by the ESOP
and to otherwise participate in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) no
violation of ERISA or the Code occurs in the ESOP’s sale or exchange of the Peoples Common
Stock held by the ESOP or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Additionally,
Peoples shall take any such actions as are necessary to ensure that, as of the Effective
Time or as soon as practicable thereafter, subject to receipt of a favorable ruling of the
IRS with respect to the termination of the ESOP and conditioned upon consummation of the
Merger, (i) the ESOP shall be terminated; (ii) all shares of Peoples Common Stock held by
the ESOP shall be converted into rights to receive the Merger Consideration in respect
thereof; (iii) all outstanding indebtedness of the ESOP shall be repaid using the Merger
Consideration attributable to the unallocated shares of Peoples Common Stock held by the
ESOP, any other assets held in the ESOP unallocated suspense account and additional
contributions by Peoples to the extent necessary; (iv) any assets remaining in the ESOP’s
unallocated suspense account after payment of all outstanding indebtedness and other
liabilities of the ESOP shall be allocated to the accounts of the ESOP participants; and (v)
the net assets of the ESOP shall be distributed to such ESOP participants, subject to the
receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS and except as otherwise required by
applicable Law. Peoples may make amendments to the ESOP as required to carry out such
obligations; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment shall require or
have the effect of requiring Integra to make any contributions to the ESOP after the
Effective Time, except to the extent necessary to repay the outstanding indebtedness of the
ESOP; (ii) no such amendments shall require or have the effect of requiring Peoples to make
any contributions to the ESOP at or prior to the Effective Time other than contributions
necessary to allow the ESOP to make required payments on currently outstanding securities
acquisition loans; (iii) any such amendment shall be conditioned upon its not having an
adverse effect upon the qualified status of the ESOP under Section 401(a) of the Code; and
(iv) no such amendment shall require or have the effect of requiring the continuation of the
ESOP after the Effective Time except to the extent specifically approved by Integra.
Peoples shall make no contributions to the ESOP between the date hereof and the Effective
Time other than such as may be required to maintain the tax-qualified status of the ESOP or
to enable the ESOP to make required payments on the currently outstanding securities
acquisition loans. Peoples shall be permitted to use regular quarterly cash dividends paid
by Peoples and held in the ESOP suspense account as part of any required ESOP payments or as
a supplement to such required ESOP payments.
32
Before the adoption of any amendment of the ESOP, Peoples shall first submit the
amendment to Integra for its review and approval. Throughout the ESOP termination process,
Peoples shall keep Integra timely informed of the planning for and occurrence of the
transactions involved in the termination. Subsequent to the Effective Time, the Surviving
Corporation shall be the successor of Peoples with respect to the ESOP and the Surviving
Corporation shall hold all authority necessary to complete the termination of the ESOP as
otherwise provided herein.
(e) Shares of Peoples Common Stock held in the Recognition Plans which vest at the
Effective Time shall be converted into the Merger Consideration.
(f) Any officer or employee of Peoples who has an employment, severance or change in
control agreement with Peoples (each a “Contract Officer”) shall receive as of the Effective
Time, the severance or termination payments provided for in their respective agreements
(“Contract Payment”) in a lump sum and as described and quantified in reasonable detail in
the Peoples Disclosure Letter, based upon the assumptions set forth therein. Integra
acknowledges and agrees that the consummation of the Merger shall constitute a “change in
control” of Peoples for purposes of each of the employment and change in control agreements
set forth in the Peoples Disclosure Letter. Integra further acknowledges and agrees that
each of the officers covered by employment or change in control agreements with Peoples
(other than those officers who enter into severance or employment agreements with Integra
that will become effective at the Effective Time) would be entitled to terminate their
employment for “Good Reason” as defined in the agreements upon consummation of the Merger,
and that none of the payments to such officers shall be subject to mitigation under the
terms of those agreements. As a condition to receiving their Contract Payments, each
Contract Officer shall sign and deliver to Integra a release agreement acknowledging receipt
of the Contract Payment.
(g) Within forty-five (45) days of the date hereof, Integra shall use its reasonable
best efforts to inform the employees of Peoples of the likelihood of such employees having
continued employment with Integra following the Effective Time and, where appropriate, shall
use its reasonable best efforts to interview the employees of Peoples to determine if there
are mutually beneficial employment opportunities available at Integra.
(h) Integra agrees that Peoples shall, pursuant to a bonus plan previously adopted or
to be adopted by the board of directors of Peoples, be permitted to pay bonuses to its
officers prior to December 31, 2007 in an aggregate amount not exceeding $1.3 million, which
amount has not been accrued as of the date hereof.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, pursuant to terms and
conditions to be mutually agreed to by Integra and Peoples after the date hereof, Peoples
may pay cash retention bonuses to employees of Peoples who are selected by the chief
executive officer of Peoples with the prior approval of Integra, with such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld, in order to help retain key employees (who are not otherwise
covered by an employment or change in control agreement or
otherwise participating in the bonus plan described in Section 5.4(h) above) through
the Effective Time and for a specified period thereafter, provided that the aggregate amount
of such retention bonuses shall not exceed $250,000.
33
(j) Integra agrees to honor the terms and conditions of Peoples’ Amended and Restated
Directors’ Retirement Plan.
Section 5.5 Access and Information. Upon reasonable notice, Peoples shall,
and shall cause each Peoples Subsidiary to, afford to Integra and its representatives (including,
without limitation, directors, officers and employees of Integra and its Affiliates, and counsel,
accountants and other professionals retained) such access during normal business hours throughout
the period prior to the Effective Time to the books, records (including, without limitation, Tax
Returns and work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and to such other
information as Integra may reasonably request; provided, however, that Peoples
shall not be required to provide access to any such information or properties if the providing of
such access (a) would interfere unnecessarily with the normal operations of Peoples and the
Peoples’ Subsidiaries; (b) would be reasonably likely, upon the advice of counsel, to result in the
loss or impairment of any privilege generally recognized under law with respect to such information
or (c) would be precluded by any lease, Contract or legally enforceable agreement in existence
prior to the date hereof or by any Law, judgment, Order, decree, license or permit of any
Governmental Entity. All information furnished by one party to the other party in connection with
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be kept confidential by such other
party (and shall be used by it only in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby) except to the extent that such information (i) already is known to such other
party when received from a source not known by the receiving party to be under an obligation of
confidentiality, (ii) thereafter becomes lawfully obtainable from other sources or (iii) is
required to be disclosed in any non-confidential document filed with the Commission, the FRB, the
OCC, the OTS, the Department of Justice, or any other Governmental Entity. In the event that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall fail to be consummated, each party shall promptly
cause all copies of documents or extracts thereof containing information and data as to another
party hereto to be returned to the party that furnished the same or be destroyed.
Section 5.6 Certain Filings, Consents and Arrangements. Integra and Peoples
shall (a) as soon as practicable make any required filings and applications required to be filed
with Governmental Entities between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, (b) cooperate
with one another (i) in promptly determining whether any other filings are required to be made or
Consents are required to be obtained under any other relevant federal, state or foreign Law and
(ii) in promptly making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith
and seeking timely to obtain any such Consents and (c) deliver to the other parties to this
Agreement complete copies of all such reports promptly after they are filed. In advance of any
filing made under this Section 5.6, Integra and Peoples and their respective counsel shall be
provided with the opportunity to comment thereon, and Integra and Peoples each agree promptly to
advise each other and each other’s counsel of any material communication received by it or its
counsel from the Governmental Entities with respect to such filings.
34
Section 5.7 State Takeover Statutes. Peoples shall take all reasonable steps
to (a) exempt Peoples and the Merger from the requirements of any state takeover law by action of
Peoples’ Board of Directors or otherwise and (b) upon the request of Integra, assist in any
challenge by Integra to the applicability to the Merger of any state takeover law.
Section 5.8 Indemnification. From and after the Effective Time, Integra will
assume and honor any obligation as provided for and permitted by applicable federal and state law
that Peoples had immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to the indemnification of
each person who is now, who has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to
the Effective Time, a director or officer of Peoples or any Peoples Subsidiary (collectively, the
“Indemnitees”) arising out of Peoples’ Articles of Incorporation or By-laws in the form on the date
hereof (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law) against any and all losses in connection
with or arising out of any claim which is based upon, arises out of or in any way relates to any
actual or alleged condition, act or omission occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including
any actions taken to approve and implement this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director or officer (whether elected or appointed), of Peoples or
any Peoples Subsidiary. This Section 5.8 will be construed as an agreement, as to which the
Indemnitees are intended to be third-party beneficiaries. In addition, for a period of not less
than four years after the Effective Time, Integra will cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain
in effect the current directors’ and officers’ insurance policies maintained by Peoples for the
benefit of directors and officers of Peoples as of the date hereof; provided,
however, that if the annual cost of such “tail” insurance policies is not available at a
cost not greater than 200% of the annual premium paid on the date of this Agreement by Peoples for
such insurance (the “Insurance Cap”), Integra shall cause to be obtained as much comparable
insurance for as long a period (not to exceed four years from the Effective Time) as is available
for a cost not to exceed the Insurance Cap. Prior to the Effective Time, Integra shall provide
Peoples with the insurance binder evidencing such tail insurance policy for the benefit of the
directors and officers of Peoples.
Section 5.9 Additional Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions herein
provided, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts to take promptly, or
cause to be taken promptly, all actions and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, all
things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective as
promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using its
reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, extensions, waivers,
Consents and approvals from all applicable Governmental Entities, effecting all necessary
registrations, applications and filings and obtaining any required contractual Consents and
regulatory approvals.
Section 5.10 Publicity. Integra and Peoples shall develop a joint
communications plan and each party shall (a) ensure that all press releases and other public
statements and communications (including any communications that would require a filing under Rule
425, Rule 165 and Rule 166 of the Securities Act or Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act) with respect
to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consistent with such joint
communications plan and (b) unless otherwise required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant
to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, consult with each other for a
reasonable time before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public
35
statement or communication (including any communication that would require a filing under Rule
425, Rule 165 and Rule 166 of the Securities Act or Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act), and mutually
agree upon any such press release or any such public statement or communication, with respect to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the foregoing, except to
the extent disclosed in the Proxy Statement, neither Integra nor Peoples shall issue any press
release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure concerning the other party or the
other party’s business, financial condition or results of operations without the consent of the
other party.
Section 5.11 Registration Statement. Promptly after the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, Integra shall file with the Commission the Registration Statement in
which the Proxy Statement will be included. Integra shall use its reasonable best efforts to have
the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable
after such filing. Peoples will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be

Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it or its Subsidiaries for
inclusion or incorporation by reference in (a) the Registration Statement will, at the time the
Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and (b) the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date
of mailing to shareholders, and at the time of the Peoples Shareholders Meeting, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. Each of Integra and Peoples agrees to promptly correct any information
provided by it for use in the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement that shall have become
false or misleading. Integra and Peoples will cause the Registration Statement and the Proxy
Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. In advance of any

exchange); and (v) the holding period of the shares of Integra Common Stock received in the
Merger will include the period during which the shares of Peoples Common Stock surrendered

above (unless the reason for Peoples’ Change of Recommendation, failure to include
the Peoples’ Board of Directors Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or failure to
confirm that the Proxy Statement will include the Peoples’ Board of Directors
Recommendation is due to
46
a breach by Integra of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement which breach would
permit Peoples to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e)), then Peoples
shall pay or cause to be paid to Integra in immediately available funds an amount
equal to the Termination Fee within one (1) Business Day after termination of this
Agreement.
(iii) If (A) this Agreement is terminated by Integra or Peoples, as applicable,

to such termination an Acquisition Proposal (other than by Integra) shall have been
received by Peoples and not withdrawn, and (C) within twelve (12) months following

(iv) If this Agreement is terminated by Integra pursuant to Section 8.1(i)(iv)
and within twelve (12) months following such termination Peoples enters into a
Contract relating to an Acquisition Proposal, then Peoples shall pay or cause to be

(v) Peoples acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3(b)
are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that,
without these agreements, Integra would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly,
if Peoples fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section
8.3(b) and, in order to obtain such payment, Integra makes a claim that results in a
judgment against Peoples for the amounts set forth in this Section 8.3(b), Peoples
shall pay to Integra, in addition to the amount of such judgment, Integra’s
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in
connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this
Section 8.3(b) at The Wall Street Journal prime rate in effect on the date
such payment was required to be made. Payment of the fees described in this Section
8.3(b) shall be the exclusive remedy for a termination of this Agreement as
specified in this Section 8.3(b) and shall be in lieu of damages incurred in the
event of any such termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.4 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto
may extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other
parties hereto, waive any inaccuracies by the other parties hereto in the representations and
warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and waive compliance by
the other parties hereto with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such
extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or
parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance
with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or
estoppel with respect to, any subsequent other failure.

the Merger Agreement and the approval of the terms thereof and each of the other actions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and any actions required in
furtherance thereof and hereof and (ii) against any proposal relating to an Acquisition
Proposal and against any action or agreement that would impede, frustrate, prevent or
nullify this Agreement, or result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation
or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Peoples under the Merger Agreement or

performance of such Shareholder’s obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated
hereby or by the Merger Agreement.
(c) Subject to Section 6 hereof, each Shareholder hereby agrees that such Shareholder

THIS BANK MERGER AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated as of September 12, 2007, between Integra

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the outstanding capital stock of Integra Bank consists of
470,000 shares of Common Stock, $10.00 par value per share (the “Integra Bank Stock”);
WHEREAS, all of the Integra Bank Stock is owned of record and beneficially by Integra Bank
Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Integra”);
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the outstanding capital stock of Peoples Bank consists of 100
shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Peoples Bank Stock”);
WHEREAS, all of the Peoples Bank Stock is owned of record and beneficially by Peoples
Community Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Peoples”);
WHEREAS, Integra and Peoples are parties to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
September 12, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”) relating to the merger of Peoples and Integra (the
“Holding Company Merger”); and
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Integra Bank, Peoples Bank, Integra and Peoples have all
approved the merger of Peoples Bank with and into Integra Bank (the “Bank Merger”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein contained, and for
the purpose of prescribing the terms and conditions of the Bank Merger, the mode of carrying the
same into effect, the manner, basis and such other details and provisions as are deemed necessary
or desirable, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. THE BANK MERGER.
(a) The Bank Merger. Pursuant to the provisions of the National Bank Act, as
amended (the “NBA”), and the Home Owners’ Loan Act (the “HOLA”), Peoples Bank shall be merged with
and into Integra Bank, with Integra Bank to survive the Bank Merger as the surviving bank (the
“Surviving Bank”).
(b) Effective Time of the Bank Merger. The Bank Merger shall become effective at the
time specified in the certificate approving the Bank Merger issued by the Comptroller of the
Currency which shall be 12:01 a.m. on the first calendar day following the date on which the
Holding Company Merger becomes effective. The time at which the Bank Merger becomes effective

B-1
2. CONVERSION OF CAPITAL STOCK. At the Effective Time, each share of Peoples Bank Stock then
outstanding shall, by virtue of the Bank Merger and without any action by the holder or issuer
thereof, be surrendered, retired and canceled and each share of Integra Bank Stock shall be
converted into one share of common stock, $10.00 par value, of the Surviving Bank. No provision is
made herein for the rights of dissenters under either the NBA or the HOLA because Integra, the
owner of all of the outstanding shares of the Integra Bank Stock, and Peoples, the owner of all of
the outstanding shares of the Peoples Bank Stock, have each approved the Bank Merger.
3. EFFECT OF THE BANK MERGER
(a) General. At the Effective Time, Peoples Bank shall be merged with and into

property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due on whatever account, and all other choses in
action and all and every other interest, of or belonging to or due to Integra Bank or Peoples Bank
and the same shall be deemed taken and transferred to and vested in the Surviving Bank without
further act or deed, and the title to any such property or rights, or any interest therein, vested
in Integra Bank or Peoples Bank shall not revert to or be in any way impaired by reason of the Bank
Merger. The Surviving Bank shall be liable for all the liabilities and obligations of Integra Bank
and Peoples Bank in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Surviving Bank had itself
incurred such liabilities and obligations and had contracted therefor, and any claim existing or
any action or proceeding pending by or against Integra Bank or Peoples Bank may be prosecuted to
judgment as if the Bank Merger had not taken place, or the Surviving Bank may be substituted in its
place. Neither the rights of creditors, nor any liens upon the property of Integra Bank or Peoples
Bank shall be impaired by the Bank Merger, but such liens shall be limited to the property upon
which they were liens immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(b) Name. The Surviving Bank shall operate under the name of “Integra Bank National
Association”.
(c) Principal Office. The principal office of the Surviving Bank shall be located at
000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx.
(d) Articles of Association and By-Laws. The Articles of Association and By-Laws of
Integra Bank shall be the Articles of Association and the By-Laws of the Surviving Bank.
(e) Directors and Officers. As of the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the
Surviving Bank will consist of those directors of Integra Bank in office immediately prior to the
Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, the officers of the Surviving Bank will consist of those

information reasonably required for inclusion in any application made by Integra Bank or Peoples
Bank to any governmental or regulatory body in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

Re: | Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September __, 2007
(the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Integra Bank
Corporation (“Integra”) and Peoples Community Bancorp,
Inc. (“Peoples”) |
Gentlemen:
I have been advised that, as of the date hereof, I may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of
Peoples, as that term is defined for purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 (“Rule 145”) of
the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of
Peoples owned by me as of the effective time of the merger of Peoples with and into Integra as
contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”) will be converted into the right to receive
shares of common stock of Integra (“Shares”) and cash. This letter is delivered to Integra
pursuant to Section 5.15 of the Merger Agreement.
1. | I represent and warrant to Integra and agree that: |
A. I shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shares I receive pursuant
to the Merger in violation of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission
promulgated thereunder.
B. I understand that the issuance of the Shares to me pursuant to the Merger shall be
registered with the Commission under the Securities Act. I also understand that because I may be
deemed an “affiliate” of Peoples and because any distributions by me of the Shares shall not be
registered under the Securities Act, such Shares must be held by me unless (i) the sale, transfer
or other distribution has been registered under the Securities Act, (ii) the sale, transfer or
other distribution of such Shares is made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 145, or (iii)
in the opinion of counsel acceptable to Integra some other exemption from registration under the
Securities Act is available with respect to any such proposed distribution, sale, transfer or other
disposition of such Shares.
C-1
2. | I understand and agree that: |
A. Stop transfer instructions shall be issued with respect to the Shares and there shall be
placed on the certificates representing such Shares, or any certificate delivered in substitution
therefor, a legend stating in substance:
“The shares represented by this Certificate have been issued to an
affiliate of a party to a transaction with Integra Bank Corporation
pursuant to the provisions of Rule 145 under the Securities Act of
1933. A stop transfer order with respect to this Certificate has
been issued to the Transfer Agent. The shares represented hereby
will be transferred on the books of Integra Bank Corporation only
upon delivery to the Transfer Agent of evidence, reasonably
satisfactory to Integra Bank Corporation, that such transfer
complies in all material respects with the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations thereunder.”
B. Unless the transfer by me of Shares is a sale made in compliance with the provisions of
Rule 145(d) or made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,
Integra reserves the right to place the following legend on the Certificates issued to my
transferee:
“The shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were acquired from
a person who received such shares in a transaction to which Rule 145
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, applied. The shares
have not been acquired by the holder with a view to, or for resale
in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold or
otherwise transferred unless the shares have been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from
registration is available.”
I understand and agree that the legends set forth above shall be removed by delivery of
substitute Certificates without any legend if I deliver to Integra a copy of a letter from the
staff of the Commission, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to Integra, to
the effect that no such legend is required for the purpose of the Securities Act.
I have carefully read this letter and the Merger Agreement and understand the requirements of
each and the limitations imposed upon the distribution, sale, transfer or other disposition of
Shares by me.
Very truly yours
C-2
