AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of October 5, 2006 (“Agreement”), is made by and
among Integra Bank Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Integra”), PFC Merger Corp., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra (“Sub”), and Prairie Financial Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (“Prairie”).
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, Prairie is registered as a bank holding company under the BHCA and is the owner of
all of the outstanding capital stock of Prairie Bank & Trust Company, an Illinois banking
corporation (“Prairie Bank”).
WHEREAS, Integra and Prairie have each determined that it is in the best interests of their
respective stockholders for Prairie to merge with Sub upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS, Prairie has received the opinion of Xxxxx Financial, Inc., its financial advisors,
that the consideration to be paid to stockholders of Prairie pursuant to this Agreement is fair
from a financial point of view;
WHEREAS, the parties intend that immediately after the Merger becomes effective, Prairie Bank
shall merge with and into Integra Bank (the “Bank Merger”); and
WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Integra, Sub and Prairie have each approved
this Agreement and the consummation of 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 (as defined in Section 1.2 below), Prairie and Sub will merge with Prairie as
the resulting or surviving corporation (“Surviving Corporation”) and the separate corporate
existence of Sub will thereupon cease in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).
Integra may at any time change the method of effecting the combination with Prairie
(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 Sub to
become the Surviving Corporation, to provide for the merger of the Surviving Corporation into
Integra or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra as a condition to the opinion contemplated in
Section 7.2(d) 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 common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Prairie Common Stock”), of Prairie as provided
for in this Agreement, (B) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, or (C) would result in any material adverse tax consequences to Prairie
stockholders not expressly contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 1.2 Effective Time. Prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Section
6.1), Integra and Prairie shall cause a certificate of merger complying with the requirements of
the DGCL to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware
Certificate of Merger”) specifying that the Merger will become effective at 11:59 p.m. (CDT) on the
day on which the Closing Date occurs (the “Effective Time”).
Section 1.3 Effect of Merger. The Merger will have the effects specified in
the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Prairie will continue to be governed by
the laws of the State of Delaware, and the separate corporate existence of Prairie 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 DGCL, will continue unaffected by the
Merger.
Section 1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. The Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws of Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the
Certificate 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 Sub
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 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws
and the DGCL.
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 (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 Prairie, or (ii) otherwise carry out the purposes of this
Agreement, Prairie 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 (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 Prairie or (b) otherwise carry out the purposes of this
Agreement and the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are authorized in the name of
Prairie 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
A (the “Bank Merger Agreement”), and in accordance with the National Bank Act, and the Illinois
Banking Act (collectively the “Banking Laws”), Prairie Bank will be merged with and into Integra
Bank. Prairie 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 Prairie 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 Prairie 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.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION OF SHARES
Section 2.1 Conversion of Shares.
(a) At the Effective Time, each then outstanding share of Prairie Common Stock
not owned by Integra or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra,
except for any such shares of Prairie Common Stock (i) held in the treasury of
Prairie, or (ii) owned by Prairie stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal
and payment for such shares pursuant to § 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”),
will be converted into the right to receive either (A) if and only if the conditions
set forth in Section 7.3(d) with respect to the election under Section 338(h)(10) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), are satisfied, 5.914
shares of common stock, stated value $1.00 per share and the related rights to
purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock, no par value, which are attached to and
trade with such shares (“Integra Common Stock”), of Integra (the “Per Share Stock
Consideration”) and $65.26 in cash; or (B) if the conditions set forth in Section
7.3(d) are not satisfied, 5.760 shares of Integra Common Stock (the “Adjusted Per
Share Stock Consideration”) and $63.57 in cash. The shares of Integra Common Stock
and cash provided for in this Section 2.1(a) are referred to as the “Merger
Consideration”.
(b) Each holder of Prairie Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled
to receive a fraction of a share of Integra Common Stock shall receive, in lieu
thereof, cash in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share
3
of Integra
Common Stock multiplied by the Market Price (as defined in Section 8.6(a)(vi)).
(c) At the Effective Time, each share of Prairie Common Stock held in Prairie’s
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 Prairie Common Stock
owned by Integra or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra
(except for any shares that are Trust Account Shares or Dissenting Shares) will be
canceled and retired.
(e) Each share of common stock of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock,
par value $1.00 per share, of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective
Time.
Section 2.2 Treatment of Stock Options.
(a) At the Effective Time, all rights under any stock option granted by Prairie
or its predecessors pursuant to Prairie’s existing stock option plans (collectively,
the “Prairie Option Plans”) that remain outstanding and unexercised, whether vested
or unvested, immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the options
referenced in Section 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) below (“Unexercised Options”), shall cease
to represent a right to acquire shares of Prairie Common Stock and shall be
converted into an option to purchase Integra Common Stock (“Integra Substitute
Options”) in an amount and at an exercise price determined in this Section 2.2(a)
and otherwise subject to the terms of the agreements evidencing the original grants
of such options. The adjustments provided in this Section 2.2(a) with respect to
Unexercised Options shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is
consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code. The duration and other terms of the
Integra Substitute Options shall be the same as the original option except that all
references to Prairie shall be deemed to be references to the Integra.
(b) At the Effective Time, the outstanding stock options to purchase an
aggregate of 23,965 shares of Prairie Common Stock at its fair market value on the
date of exercise shall be canceled in accordance with the agreement between Prairie
and the holders of such options.
(c) At the Effective Time, all rights under the outstanding and unexercised
stock options held by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx not otherwise canceled in accordance with
Section 2.2(b) shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Prairie Common
Stock and shall be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount (less any
applicable withholding taxes) equal to (a) the number of shares of Prairie Common
Stock subject to the original option, multiplied by (b) the
4
Merger Consideration
minus the applicable exercise price of the original option. For purposes of this
Section 2.2(b), the Integra Common Stock portion of the Merger Consideration shall
be valued at the Market Price.
Section 2.3 Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Exchange Agent. 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 Prairie 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 Prairie
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.
(b) Notice of Exchange. Promptly 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 promptly deliver
to the person entitled thereto the Merger Consideration for each share of Prairie
Common Stock so represented by the Certificate surrendered by such holder thereof,
and such Certificate shall forthwith be canceled.
(c) Transfer. 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) Right to Merger Consideration. Subject to Section 2.3(e) below,
until surrendered and exchanged in accordance with Section 2.1 or 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 Prairie Common
5
Stock evidenced by such Certificate, together with any dividends or other
distributions as provided in Sections 2.3(e) and 2.3(f) below, and shall have no
other rights. From and after the Effective Time, Integra 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 Prairie 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 Prairie 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.
(e) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Certificates. 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 Prairie on Prairie 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) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. 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
6
made against Prairie,
Integra or the Exchange Agent or any other party with respect to the certificate
alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(g) Voting With Respect to Unexchanged Certificates. Holders of
unsurrendered Certificates will not be entitled to vote at any meeting of Integra
shareholders.
(h) No Fractional Shares. 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 Prairie’s Transfer Books. The stock transfer books of
Prairie shall be closed at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date
of the Effective Time. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Prairie Common Stock which is
not registered in the transfer records of Prairie, 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 Prairie to establish the identity of those persons entitled
to receive the Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement for their shares of Prairie 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 2.6 Dissenter’s Rights. No holder of Dissenting Shares shall be
entitled to the Merger Consideration or cash in lieu of fractional shares or any dividends or other
distributions pursuant to this Article II unless and until the holder thereof shall have failed to
perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to appraisal of such shares
of Prairie Common Stock under § 262 of the DGCL, and any such stockholder shall be entitled
7
to receive only the payment provided by § 262 of the DGCL with respect to Dissenting Shares. If any
Prairie stockholder who otherwise would be deemed to hold Dissenting Shares shall have failed to
properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent with
respect to any such shares, such shares of Prairie Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as
though such shares of Prairie Common Stock had been converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1. Prairie shall give Integra (a) prompt notice of any written
demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served
pursuant to applicable law received by Prairie relating to Prairie’s rights of appraisal and (b)
the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any
such demands for appraisal under § 262 of the DGCL. Prairie shall not, except with the prior
written consent of Integra (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), voluntarily make any
payment with respect to any demands for appraisals of Dissenting Shares, offer to settle or settle
any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

Integra with the Commission prior to the date of this Agreement, there is no suit, action or

issuing or requesting (or is considering the appropriateness of issuing or requesting) any
such order, decree, agreement, memorandum of understanding, extraordinary supervisory letter,

effect with respect to Prairie Bank at all times for such period. A valid QSub
election or similar election has been in effect with respect to Prairie Bank during
such period in all relevant state and local jurisdictions in which Prairie is
subject to Tax and in which such election is required.
(e) Prairie will not be required to include any item of income in, or exclude
any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period ending after the
Effective Time as a result of any (i) change, made on or prior to the Closing Date,
in the method of accounting for a tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date,
(ii) “closing agreement” within the meaning of Section 7121 of the Code (or any
similar provision of state, local or foreign law) executed on or prior to the
Closing Date, (iii) intercompany transactions or any excess loss account described
in the regulations under Section 1502 of the Code (or any similar provision of
state, local or foreign law) occurring or existing before the Closing Date, (iv)
installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing
Date, and (v) if an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code is not made with
respect to the Merger, prepaid amounts which in the aggregate exceed $20,000
received on or prior to the Closing Date.
Section 4.9 Employee Plans. Except as set forth in the Prairie Disclosure
Letter, 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,
17
officers or employees of Prairie or Prairie Subsidiaries (“Prairie 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. Except as set forth in the Prairie Disclosure Letter, with
respect to each Prairie 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 Internal Revenue
Service (“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 Prairie, any of the Prairie 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 Prairie
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 Prairie
or any of the Prairie subsidiaries has an obligation to institute any employee plan or any such
other arrangement, agreement or plan. Except as set forth in the Prairie Disclosure Letter, neither
Prairie nor a Prairie Subsidiary was or has used any insurance policy to provide funding for a
Prairie Employee Plan. Except as set forth in the Prairie Disclosure Letter, neither the execution
of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will (A)
constitute a stated triggering event under any Prairie Employee Plan that will result in any
payment (whether pay or otherwise) becoming due from Prairie or any of the Prairie Subsidiaries to
any present or former officer, employee, director, stockholder, consultant or dependent of any of
the foregoing or (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of
compensation due, to any present or former officer, employee, director, stockholder, consultant, or
dependent of any of the foregoing. Neither Prairie nor any of the Prairie Subsidiaries has any
obligations for retiree health or life insurance benefits under any Prairie Employee Plan, except
as set forth in the Prairie Disclosure Letter. Except as set forth in the Prairie Disclosure
Letter, there are no restrictions on the rights of Prairie or any of the Prairie Subsidiaries to
amend or terminate any such Prairie Employee Plan without incurring any liability thereunder.
Section 4.10 Material Contracts. Except as set forth in the Prairie
Disclosure Letter or disclosed in the Prairie Financial Statements, neither Prairie nor any Prairie
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 Prairie or any Prairie Subsidiary or the guarantee by Prairie or any Prairie Subsidiary of
any such obligation (other than trade payables and instruments relating to transactions entered
into in the ordinary course of business) or (c) any other contract or agreement or amendment
thereto that, if Prairie Common Stock was registered under the Exchange Act, would be required to
be 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 “Prairie Contracts”). Neither
Prairie nor any Prairie
18
Subsidiary is in default under any Prairie Contract, which default is
reasonably likely to have,
either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, 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. Except as set forth in the
Prairie Disclosure Letter or disclosed in the Prairie Financial Statements, since December 31, 2005
there has not been any change in the financial condition, results of operations or business of
Prairie or any Prairie Subsidiary which has had or will have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.12 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Prairie Disclosure
Letter, there is no suit, action or proceeding pending, or, to the Knowledge of Prairie, threatened
against or affecting Prairie or any Prairie Subsidiary which, if determined adversely to Prairie,
would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any judgment, decree,
injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator, outstanding against Prairie or
any Prairie Subsidiary having, or which would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse
Effect on the business of Prairie and the Prairie Subsidiaries. Since January 1, 2001, Prairie and
Prairie Bank have continuously maintained fidelity bonds insuring them against acts of dishonesty
in such amounts as are customary, usual and prudent for organizations of their size and business.
To the Knowledge of Prairie and Prairie Bank, there are no facts which would form the basis of a
claim or claims under such bonds. Neither Prairie nor Prairie Bank has reason to believe that its
respective fidelity coverage would not be renewed by the carrier on substantially the same terms as
the existing coverage, except for possible premium increases unrelated to Prairie’s and the Prairie
Subsidiaries’ past claim experience.
Section 4.13 Compliance with Laws and Orders. Except as set forth in the
Prairie Disclosure Letter or as disclosed in the Prairie Financial Statements, the businesses of
Prairie and each Prairie Subsidiary are not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance,
regulation, judgment, order, decree, license or permit of any Governmental Entity (including,
without limitation, in the case of a Prairie Subsidiary that is a 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, insofar as reasonably can
be foreseen, in the future will not, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the
Prairie Disclosure Letter, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to
Prairie or any Prairie Subsidiary is pending or, to the Knowledge of Prairie, threatened, nor has
any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct the same, in each case other than those
the outcome of which will not have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.14 Agreements with Bank Regulators, Etc. Neither Prairie nor any
Prairie Subsidiary is a party to any written agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or a
party to any commitment letter, board resolution or similar undertaking to, or is subject to any
order or directive by, or is a recipient of any extraordinary supervisory letter from, any
Governmental Entity which restricts materially the conduct of its business, or in any manner
relates to its capital adequacy, its credit or reserve policies or its management, except for those
the existence of which has been disclosed in the Prairie Disclosure Letter, nor has Prairie been
advised by any Governmental Entity that such Governmental Entity is contemplating issuing or
requesting (or is considering the appropriateness of issuing or requesting) any such order, decree,
agreement, memorandum of understanding, extraordinary supervisory letter, commitment letter or
similar
19
submission, except as set forth in the Prairie Disclosure Letter. Neither Prairie nor any
Prairie
Subsidiary is required by Section 32 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to give prior notice
to a federal banking agency of the proposed addition of an individual to its board of directors or
the employment of an individual as a senior or executive officer. Prairie knows of no reason why
the granting of the regulatory approvals referred to in Section 4.6 above would be denied or unduly
delayed.
Section 4.15 Fees. Except for fees paid and payable to Xxxxx Financial, LLC,
neither Prairie nor any Prairie 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 (i) holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Prairie Common Stock entitled to vote thereon is the only
vote of the holders of any class or series of Prairie capital stock necessary to approve this
Agreement and the Merger, and (ii) the holders of seventy-five (75%) of the outstanding shares of
Prairie Common Stock is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of Prairie capital
stock necessary to approve the termination of the Prairie Stockholder Agreement dated December 31,
1998 (the “Prairie Stockholder Agreement”) by and among Prairie and its stockholders named therein
(collectively, the “Required Prairie Vote”).
Section 4.17 Environmental Matters. (a) To the Knowledge of Prairie, neither
Prairie nor any of the Prairie 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; (b) to the Knowledge of Prairie, none of the Loan Portfolio Properties,
Trust Properties and Other Properties of Prairie or any of the Prairie 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; and (c) to the Knowledge of Prairie,
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
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 Prairie or any Prairie Subsidiary pursuant
to any Environmental Law, except such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.18 Labor. (a) Neither Prairie nor any of the Prairie Subsidiaries
are engaged in, or have engaged in, any unfair labor practice; (b) there is no labor strike,
dispute, slowdown or stoppage actually pending, or, to the Knowledge of Prairie, threatened,
against or directly affecting Prairie or the Prairie Subsidiaries; (c) 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 Prairie, is threatened; (d) 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 Prairie are threatened; (e) no collective bargaining agreement exists which is binding
on Prairie and/or
20
the Prairie Subsidiaries; (f) neither Prairie nor the Prairie Subsidiaries have
experienced any
material work stoppage or other material labor difficulty; and (g) neither Prairie nor any of
the Prairie Subsidiaries are 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. Except as set forth in
the Prairie Disclosure Letter, no officer or director of Prairie, 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 Prairie or any of the
Prairie Subsidiaries.
Section 4.20 Employment Agreements. The Prairie 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 Prairie or any of the
Prairie Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by and which, by its terms, is not terminable by
Prairie or such Prairie 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 Prairie Disclosure Letter have been
previously made available to Integra by Prairie.
Section 4.21 Banking Reports. Since January 1, 2001, Prairie and each of the
Prairie Subsidiaries has filed all reports of condition, reports of income and other reports and
statements, together with any amendments required to be made with respect thereto, if any, that it
was required to file with (a) the FRB, (b) the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (c) the State
Agency, and (d) any other Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over Prairie or any of the Prairie
Subsidiaries, and have paid all fees and assessments due and payable in connection therewith,
except where the failure to file such reports would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As of
their respective dates, each of such reports and documents, as amended, including any financial
statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, complied with the relevant statutes, rules and
regulations enforced or promulgated by the regulatory authority with which they were filed, and did
not 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.
Section 4.22 Loan Portfolio.
(a) The Prairie Disclosure Letter lists as of August 31, 2006 each loan of
Prairie Bank that has been classified by the FDIC, the State Agency or the FRB 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
Prairie Bank and a list of all loans which Prairie 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.
21
(b) All loans and discounts shown on the Prairie Financial Statements or which
were entered into after the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the
Prairie Financial Statements were and shall be made for good, valuable and adequate
consideration in the ordinary course of the business of Prairie and the Prairie
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. Prairie and the Prairie 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 would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Prairie or any Prairie Subsidiary.
(c) The reserves, the allowance for possible loan and lease losses and the
carrying value for real estate owned which are shown on the Prairie Financial
Statements are, to the Knowledge of Prairie, adequate in all respects under the
requirements of generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis and safe and sound banking practices to provide for possible losses on items
for which reserves were made, loans and leases outstanding and real estate owned as
of the respective dates.
Section 4.23 Investment Portfolio. All investment securities held by Prairie
or the Prairie Subsidiaries, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets of Prairie included in
the Prairie Financial Statements, are carried in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Section 4.24 Interest Rate Risk Management. The Prairie Disclosure Letter
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 Prairie or one of
the Prairie Subsidiaries or for the account of a customer of Prairie or one of its subsidiaries.
All such arrangements and agreements disclosed in the Prairie 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 Prairie or one of the Prairie
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. Prairie and each of the Prairie
Subsidiaries have duly performed all of their obligations thereunder to the extent that such
obligations to perform have accrued,
22
and, to the Knowledge of Prairie, there are no breaches, violations or defaults or allegations
or assertions of such by any party thereunder.
Section 4.25 Non-Banking Activities. Neither Prairie nor any of the Prairie
Subsidiaries that is not a bank, a bank operating subsidiary or a bank service corporation,
directly or indirectly, engages in any activity prohibited by the FRB or the BHCA or which is not
listed at 12 C.F.R. Section 225.28. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any equity

Prairie Subsidiaries acting on behalf of Prairie or any of the Prairie Subsidiaries, has committed
any breach of trust with respect to any such fiduciary or agency account, and the accountings for
each such fiduciary or agency account are true and correct and accurately reflect the assets of
such fiduciary or agency account. There is no investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Entity

Prairie Subsidiaries relating to the compliance by Prairie or any such Prairie Subsidiary with
sound fiduciary principles and applicable regulations.
Section 4.27 Fair Lending; Community Reinvestment Act. With the exception of
routine investigation of consumer complaints, neither Prairie nor Prairie 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. Prairie Bank received a Community
Reinvestment Act rating of “Satisfactory” in its most recent CRA examination.

not, directly or indirectly, and shall instruct and otherwise use its best efforts to cause their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors or other representatives or
consultants not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit or initiate any proposals or offers from
any person relating to any acquisition or purchase of all or a material amount of the assets of

in accordance with applicable law, participate in any discussion or negotiation regarding, or
furnish to any other person any information with respect to, an Acquisition Transaction; provided,
however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.1 shall restrict or prohibit any disclosure by
Prairie that is in the advice of counsel to the Board of Directors of Prairie otherwise required
under applicable law. Prairie will, and cause each Prairie Subsidiary to, immediately cease and
cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties
conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. Prairie will promptly notify Integra if
any such inquiries or proposals are received by, any such information is requested from, or any
such negotiation or discussion are sought to be initiated or continued with Prairie or any Prairie
Subsidiary with respect to a proposed Acquisition Transaction.
Section 5.2 Interim Operations of Prairie. During the period from the date of
this Agreement to the Effective Time, except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement, set
forth in the Prairie Disclosure Letter or as otherwise approved expressly in writing by Integra
(which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed):
(a) Conduct of Business. Prairie shall, and shall cause each Prairie
Subsidiary to, conduct their respective businesses only in, and not take any action

shall use reasonable efforts to preserve intact the business organization of Prairie
and each Prairie Subsidiary, to keep available the services of its and their present
24
key officers and employees and to preserve the goodwill of those having
business relationships with Prairie or any Prairie Subsidiary. Other than in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, Prairie shall not (i)
incur any indebtedness for borrowed money (it being understood and agreed that

the Merger or the economic benefits of the Merger to Integra.
(c) Capital Stock. Prairie shall not, and shall not permit any Prairie

by law or other contractual obligations existing on the date hereof) any bonus,
profit sharing, compensation, severance, termination, stock option, pension,
retirement, deferred compensation, employment or other employee benefit agreements,

warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be untrue

that relates to Prairie’s ability to comply with the audit, record keeping and
management review of internal controls requirements of FDICIA.

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 Integra or Sub to obtain
any approvals of any Governmental Entity required to permit consummation of the Merger or (b)
materially adversely affect the ability of Integra or Sub to perform their obligations under this
Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
26

(a) Benefit Agreements. On and after the Effective Time, Integra shall
maintain and cause to be administered according to their lawful terms all Prairie
Employee Plans, except to the extent they are lawfully amended or terminated by
Integra.
(b) Retirement and Benefit Plans. 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 Prairie and Prairie Subsidiaries
who become employees of Integra or the Surviving Corporation as a result of the
Merger with all service with Prairie, any Prairie Subsidiaries, or any predecessor
employer (to the extent such service has been recognized by Prairie under the
Prairie 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 Prairie employees and their eligible dependents, to the
extent that such conditions were covered by Prairie’s health or disability plans,
respectively. Integra shall cause its health plan to credit employees of Prairie
and Prairie Subsidiaries and their eligible dependents with year-to-date deductibles
and out-of-pocket expenses incurred under Prairie’s 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.
(c) Transition. Upon and after the Merger, Prairie employees shall
have benefits that in the aggregate are no less favorable than the benefits enjoyed
generally by similarly situated Integra employees.
(d) Stay Bonuses. The parties hereto acknowledge that Prairie and
Prairie Bank shall be permitted to commit to pay stay bonus payments as contemplated
in the Prairie Disclosure Letter; provided, however, that neither Prairie nor
Integra shall be obligated to pay any bonus payment unless and until such employee
executes and delivers a stay bonus agreement in the form agreed to by Integra and
Prairie, which agreement shall govern the obligation to make any such bonus payment.
(e) Employment, Change-in-Control and Restricted Stock Agreements. Upon
the request of Integra, Prairie shall cause to be delivered to Integra (i) an
executed employment agreement for Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, and (ii) an executed
change-in-control agreement for Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx. In
addition, upon the request of Integra, Prairie shall use its best efforts to cause
to be delivered an executed change-in-control agreement for Xxxx
Xxxxxx and an executed Restricted Stock Agreement for each of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx,
Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxx
Xxxxx. Each of the foregoing agreements shall be in substantially the forms agreed

such stockholder; (iv) the tax basis of the shares of Integra Common Stock received
by stockholders who exchange all of their shares of Prairie Common Stock solely for shares of Integra Common Stock in the Merger will be the same as the tax basis of
the shares of Prairie Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor (reduced by any
cash received and increased by the amount of gain recognized on the 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 Prairie Common Stock surrendered
in exchange therefor were held, provided such shares of Prairie Common Stock are
held as capital assets at the Effective Time. In rendering such opinion, counsel
may reasonably rely upon representations contained in certificates of officers of
Prairie, Integra, and others.

45
Section 8.10 Effect of Termination; Expenses and Fees.
(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Integra or Prairie
as provided in Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and
have no effect except as set forth in this Section 8.10, Section 8.5 and the last
two sentences of Section 5.5, which shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated by:
(i) Integra because: (A) Prairie committed a breach of its covenants or
agreements under this Agreement (but not a breach of its representations or
warranties); or (B) there is a breach of Prairie’s representations or
warranties as of the Agreement Date, unless, in either case, such breach is
a result of the failure by Integra to perform and comply in all material
respects with any of its material obligations under this Agreement which are
to be performed or complied with by it prior to or on the date required
hereunder, or such breach or breaches, individually or in the aggregate,
which does not result or would not result in a Material Adverse Effect on
Prairie (in each case described in clauses (A) or (B), a “Prairie Breach
Termination”); or
(ii) Integra because Prairie’s stockholders fail to approve this
Agreement on or before March 31, 2007 and such failure was not a result of
any action or inaction on the part of Integra (a “Prairie Stockholder
Termination”);
and provided in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii), Integra is in
material compliance with all of its material obligations under this
Agreement, then in the event of a Prairie Breach Termination, Prairie shall
pay to Integra, upon its written demand, an amount equal to the sum of
Integra’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated herein (the “Integra Expenses”), but not in
excess of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), plus an amount equal to
one million dollars ($1,000,000), and in the event of a Prairie Stockholder
Termination, Prairie shall pay to Integra, upon its written demand, an
amount equal to the sum of Integra’s Expenses, but not in excess of two
hundred thousand Dollars ($200,000).
(c) In addition to any payments described in Section (b), if there is a Prairie
Breach Termination or a Prairie Stockholder Termination, and within eighteen (18)
months after such termination of this Agreement Prairie enters into an agreement,
contract, letter of intent or understanding with any party other than Integra
providing for the acquisition of control of Prairie or Prairie Bank by such other
party, then:
46
(i) if the prior termination of this Agreement was a Prairie Breach
Termination, Prairie shall pay to Integra, upon its written demand, the
additional sum of three million eight hundred thousand dollars ($3,800,000);
or
(ii) if the prior termination of this Agreement was a Prairie
Stockholder Termination, Prairie shall pay to Integra, upon its written
demand, the additional sum of four million eight hundred thousand dollars
($4,800,000);
provided, however, that in each such case, the provisions of this Section
8.10 shall in no way limit Integra’s rights against any such third party.
For purposes of this Section 8.10, the phrase “control of Prairie or Prairie
Bank” means the acquisition by any such third party of: (x) legal or
beneficial ownership (as defined by Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act) of greater than twenty percent (20%) of the then issued and
outstanding voting stock of Prairie or Prairie Bank through any transaction
to which Prairie, Prairie Bank or any Affiliate of Prairie or Prairie Bank
is a party (other than by transfers among or between members of a family,
caused by redemptions or repurchases of Prairie capital stock by Prairie or
by issuance of shares of Prairie Common Stock or other securities to holders
of record of Prairie Common Stock as of the date hereof); or (y) all or
substantially all of the assets of Prairie or Prairie Bank (except transfers
to an Affiliate of Prairie or Prairie Bank).
(d) If this Agreement is terminated by Integra pursuant to Section 8.1(f)(i),
(ii) or (iii) after a Competing Transaction has been publicly announced or otherwise
communicated or made known to the senior management of Prairie or the Prairie Board
of Directors at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the taking of
the vote of the stockholders of Prairie contemplated by this Agreement at the
Prairie Stockholders Meeting, then Prairie shall pay to Integra, upon its written
demand, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by
Integra, the sum of four million eight hundred thousand dollars ($4,800,000), plus
an amount equal to the sum of Integra’s Expenses, but not in excess of two hundred
thousand dollars ($200,000).
(e) If this Agreement is terminated by Integra pursuant to Section 8.1(f)(iv)
after a Competing Transaction has been publicly announced or otherwise communicated
or made known to the senior management of Prairie or the Prairie Board of Directors
at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the taking of the vote of
the stockholders of Prairie contemplated by this Agreement at the Prairie
Stockholders Meeting, and subsequently, the stockholders of Prairie do not approve
the Merger at the Prairie Stockholders Meeting or any adjournment thereof as
contemplated hereunder, then Prairie shall
47
pay to Integra, upon its written demand,
by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to an amount designated by Integra, the sum of four million eight hundred
thousand dollars ($4,800,000), plus an amount equal to the sum of Integra’s
Expenses, but not in excess of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000).
(f) The sums payable by Prairie under this Sections 8.10(b), (c), (d) and (e)
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by Integra and shall constitute liquidated damages and Integra’s receipt
thereof shall be Integra’s sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for all
breaches of this Agreement by Prairie or failure by its stockholders to approve this
Agreement.
(g) If this Agreement is terminated by Prairie because (i) Integra committed a
breach of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement (but not a breach of its
representations or warranties); or (ii) there is a breach of Integra’s
representations or warranties as of the Agreement Date, unless, in either case, such
breach is a result of the failure by Prairie to perform and comply in all material
respects with any of its material obligations under or on the date required
hereunder, or such breach or breaches, individually or in the aggregate, do not
result in or would not result in a Material Adverse Effect on Integra, then Prairie
shall be entitled to recover any and all amounts and shall have any and all rights
to which it may be entitled at law or in equity.
(h) If the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the
Surviving Corporation.
Section 8.11 Enforcement of the Agreement. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly
agreed that the parties hereto will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.
Section 8.12 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement
is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other
terms and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as
the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any
manner adverse to any party hereto. Upon any such determination that any term or other provision
is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible
in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
consummated to the extent possible.
Section 8.13 Update and Supplement to Disclosure Letters. Prairie and Integra
shall be permitted to update and supplement their respective disclosure letters so as to disclose
exceptions to one or more representations or warranties contained in Article III hereof in the case
of Integra and Sub and Article IV hereof in the case of Prairie which are a result of events which
48
occur after the date hereof; provided, however, that, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) no exceptions or other information set forth on any such updated or
supplemented disclosure letter shall be deemed to cure any representation or warranty which was not
true and correct as of the date of this Agreement, (b) the exceptions and other information set
forth on any such updated or supplemented disclosure letter shall not be taken into consideration
in determining, for purposes of this Agreement, whether the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 in
the case of Integra and Sub, and Section 7.2 hereof in the case of Prairie shall have been
satisfied, and (c) this Section 8.13 shall not relieve any party of its obligations under any
covenant set forth herein.

Re: | Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October , 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Integra Bank Corporation (“Integra”), PFC Merger Corp. (“Sub”) and Prairie Financial Corporation (“Prairie”) |
Gentlemen:
I have been advised that, as of the date hereof, I may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of
Prairie, 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
Prairie owned by me as of the effective time of the merger of Prairie with a subsidiary of 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 5.17 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 Prairie 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
B-1
(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.
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.
B-2
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
B-3
