MutualFirst shall have the right to revise the structure for effecting any of the Transactions with the consent of MFB, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that MutualFirst shall not have the right, without the prior written approval of the MFB Board, and, if required, the approval of the MFB shareholders, to make any revision to the structure of the Transactions, which (a) changes the value amount or kind of the consideration which the MFB shareholders are entitled to receive in the Merger, (b) adversely affects the income Tax treatment of the Merger to the MFB shareholders, or (c) will materially delay or jeopardize the receipt of any necessary consents or approvals of Regulatory Authorities or other third parties with respect to any of the Transactions or otherwise cause any condition to the Transactions set forth in Article VIII hereof not to be capable of being fulfilled in a timely manner.

ARTICLE III

CONVERSION OF SHARES

3.1 Conversion of MFB Common Stock; Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of MutualFirst, Acquisition Corp., MFB or the holders of any of the shares of MFB Common Stock, the Merger shall be effected in accordance with the following terms:

(a) Outstanding MutualFirst and Acquisition Corp. Common Stock. Each share of MutualFirst Common Stock and Acquisition Corp. common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock, etc. All shares of MFB Common Stock held in the treasury of MFB (“Treasury Stock”) and each share of MFB Common Stock owned by MutualFirst or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in connection with debts previously contracted) shall, at the Effective Time, cease to exist, and the Certificates for such shares shall be canceled as promptly as practicable thereafter, and no payment or distribution shall be made in consideration therefor.

(c) Outstanding MFB Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of this Article III, each share of MFB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) shall become and be converted into, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article III and 9.1(i)(2) if applicable, the right to receive at the election of the holder thereof as provided in Section 3.2, the following, without interest:

(1) for each share of MFB Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 3.2 (a “Cash Election”), cash from MutualFirst in the amount of $41.00 (the “Cash Consideration”);

(2) for each share of MFB Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive MutualFirst Common Stock has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 3.2 (a “Stock Election”), 2.59 shares of MutualFirst Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) (the “Stock Consideration”);

(3) a combination of the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration (a “Mixed Election”); or

(4) for each share of MFB Common Stock other than shares as to which a Cash Election, a Stock Election or a Mixed Election has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 3.2, such Stock Consideration and/or Cash Consideration as is determined in accordance with Section 3.2 for Non-Election Shares.

(d) Merger Consideration. The consideration that any one MFB shareholder may receive pursuant to Article III is referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration” and the consideration that all of the MFB shareholders are entitled to receive pursuant to Article III is referred to herein as the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”.

(e) Cancellation of MFB Common Stock. After the Effective Time, shares of MFB Common Stock shall be no longer outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter by operation of this Section 3.1 represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that were declared or made by MFB on such shares of MFB 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.

3.2 Election Procedures. (a) General Provisions. Holders of MFB Common Stock may elect to receive shares of MutualFirst Common Stock or cash (in either case without interest) in exchange for their shares of MFB Common Stock in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. Shares of MFB Common Stock as to which a Cash Election (including pursuant to a Mixed Election) has been made are referred to herein as “Cash Election Shares.” Shares of MFB Common Stock as to which a Stock Election has been made (including pursuant to a Mixed Election) are referred to as “Stock Election Shares.” Shares of MFB Common Stock as to which no election has been made (or as to which an Election Form is not returned properly completed) are referred to herein as “Non- Election Shares.”

(b) Election Form and Transmittal Materials. An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent), in such form as MFB and MutualFirst shall mutually agree (“Election Form”), shall be mailed to each holder of record of MFB Common Stock as of the record date of the MFB Meeting at approximately the same time as the Joint Proxy Statement - Prospectus is mailed to the holders of record of MFB Common Stock. Each Election Form shall permit such holder, subject to the allocation and election procedures set forth in this Section 3.2, (i) to elect to receive the Cash Consideration for all of the shares of MFB Common Stock held by such holder, (ii) to elect to receive the Stock Consideration for all of such shares, (iii) to elect to receive the Stock Consideration for a part of such holder’s MFB Common Stock and the Cash Consideration for the remaining part of such holder’s MFB Common Stock, or (iv) to indicate that such record holder has no preference as to the receipt of cash or MutualFirst Common Stock for such shares. A holder of record of shares of MFB Common Stock who holds such shares as nominee, trustee or in another representative capacity (an “Agent”) may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that each such Election Form covers all the shares of MFB Common Stock held by such Agent for a particular beneficial owner. Any shares of MFB Common Stock with respect to which the holder thereof shall not, as of the Election Deadline, have made an election by submission to the Exchange Agent of an effective, properly completed Election Form shall be deemed Non-Election Shares.

(c) Election Deadline. To be effective, a properly completed Election Form shall be submitted to the Exchange Agent on or before 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date specified as the election deadline in the Election Form (or such other time and date as MFB and MutualFirst may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”); provided, however, that the Election Deadline may not occur more than five (5) business days prior to the anticipated Effective Date or after the Effective Date. MFB shall use its reasonable efforts to make available such additional Election Forms as MutualFirst may permit, to all Persons who become holders of record of MFB Common Stock between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the 2nd business day prior to the Election Deadline. MFB shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein. An election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificates) representing all shares of MFB Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included with the Election Form. If an MFB shareholder either (i) does not submit a properly completed Election Form in a timely fashion or (ii) revokes its Election Form prior to the Election Deadline (without later submitting a properly completed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline), the shares of MFB Common Stock held by such shareholder shall be designated as Non-Election Shares. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form to the Exchange Agent by written notice to the Exchange Agent only if such notice of revocation or change is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. MutualFirst shall cause the Certificate or Certificates relating to any revoked Election Form to be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Election Form to the Exchange Agent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have discretion to determine when any election, modification or revocation is received and whether any such election, modification or revocation has been properly made. All elections shall be revoked automatically if the Exchange Agent is notified in writing by MutualFirst or MFB, upon exercise by MutualFirst or MFB of its respective or their mutual rights to terminate this Agreement to the extent provided under Section 9.1, that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 9.1.

(d) Stock Conversion Number. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the total number of shares of MFB Common Stock to be converted into Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(2) (the “Stock Conversion Number”) shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the number of shares of MFB Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. All of the other shares of MFB Common Stock shall be converted into Cash Consideration (in each case, excluding shares of MFB Common Stock to be canceled as provided in Section 3.1(b)).

(e) Excess Stock Election Shares. If the aggregate number of shares of MFB Common Stock with respect to which Stock Elections shall have been made (the “Stock Election Number”) exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof will be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number, with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

(f) Excess Cash Election Shares. If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(i) If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non- Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and the Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall convert into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; or

(ii) If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and Cash Election Shares of each holder thereof shall convert into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which (1) the Shortfall Number exceeds (2) the total number of Non-Election Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

(g) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of MutualFirst Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to MutualFirst Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share interest, and such fractional share interest shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of MutualFirst. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, MutualFirst shall pay to each former holder of MFB Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of MutualFirst Common Stock, an amount in cash, rounded to the nearest cent and without interest, equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a share to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled and (ii) the Final MutualFirst Share Value. For purposes of determining any fractional share interest, all shares of MFB Common Stock owned by a MFB shareholder shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of MutualFirst Common Stock issuable to such MFB shareholder.

3.3 Delivery of Aggregate Merger Consideration to Exchange Agent; Payment of Merger Consideration Relating to Certificates Surrendered at or Prior to the Election Deadline. At or prior to the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall deliver to the Exchange Agent the Aggregate Merger Consideration which shall consist of (i) certificates for MutualFirst Common Stock equal to the product of the Stock Conversion Number and the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the aggregate Cash Consideration equal to the product of twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares of MFB Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and $41.00 (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). On an “as required” basis, MutualFirst shall promptly and timely tender to the Exchange Agent additional cash funds required for the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in the Merger, which amounts when paid shall constitute a part of the Exchange Fund. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, but not later than the 10th business day after the Effective Date, the Exchange Agent shall tender to each shareholder of MFB, who properly surrendered Certificates to the Exchange Agent with an Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline (x) a certificate representing that number of shares of MutualFirst Common Stock (if any) to which such former holder of MFB Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 or 3.2 hereof, (y) a check representing that amount of cash (if any) to which such former holder of MFB Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 or 3.2 hereof and (z) a check representing the amount of cash (if any) payable in lieu of a fractional share of MutualFirst Common Stock, which such former holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable in lieu of fractional shares.

3.4 Exchange and Other Procedures Relating to Certificates Surrendered after the Election Deadline.

(a) Transmittal and Deliveries. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, but not later than ten (10) business days thereafter, with respect to MFB shareholders (i) whose addresses have been furnished to MutualFirst or the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Effective Date and (ii) who did not surrender or improperly surrendered their Certificates to the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline, MutualFirst shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each such shareholder transmittal materials (which shall specify that risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass only upon acceptance of such Certificates by MutualFirst or the Exchange Agent) for use in exchanging such shareholder’s Certificates for the Stock Consideration and/or the Cash Consideration, whichever is applicable. Upon proper delivery to the Exchange Agent of Certificates (or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to MutualFirst and the Exchange Agent, if any of such Certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed) owned by such shareholder, the Exchange Agent shall promptly deliver to such shareholder the Stock Consideration and/or Cash Consideration applicable thereto, and if appropriate, a check for any cash in lieu of a fractional share interest. No interest will be paid with respect to any of the foregoing. MutualFirst and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of MFB to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article III, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, MutualFirst or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any consideration in respect thereof in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(b) Restrictions on the Payment of Dividends. No dividends or other distributions with respect to MutualFirst Common Stock to be issued in the Merger with a record date occurring after the Effective Time shall be paid with respect to any unsurrendered or improperly surrendered Certificates until the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Stock Consideration in exchange therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.4. After becoming so entitled in accordance with this Section 3.4, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of MutualFirst Common Stock such holder had the right to receive upon the proper surrender of the applicable Certificate.

(c) Surrender by Persons Other than Record Holders. If the Person surrendering a Certificate and signing the accompanying letter of transmittal is not the record holder thereof, then it shall be a condition of the payment of the Merger Consideration that: (i) such Certificate is properly endorsed to such Person or is accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name of the record holder appears on such Certificate and is otherwise in proper form for transfer, or is accompanied by appropriate evidence of the authority of the Person surrendering such Certificate and signing the letter of transmittal to do so on behalf of the record holder; and (ii) the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Closing of Transfer Books. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of MFB of the MFB Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent or MutualFirst, they shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration and canceled as provided in this Section 3.4.

3.5 Return of Exchange Fund. At any time following the six (6) month period after the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund which had been made available to the Exchange Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates (including, without limitation, all interest and other income received by the Exchange Agent in respect of all cash funds made available to it), and thereafter holders of Certificates shall be entitled to look to MutualFirst (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither MutualFirst nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Certificate to a public official pursuant any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.

3.6 Withholding. MutualFirst or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of MFB Common Stock such amounts as MutualFirst (or any of its affiliates) or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by MutualFirst or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the MFB Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by MutualFirst or the Exchange Agent.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MFB

MFB represents and warrants to MutualFirst that the statements contained in this Article V are correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement and will be correct and complete as of the Effective Date (as though made then and as though the Effective Date were substituted for the date of this Agreement throughout this Article V), subject to the standard and qualifications set forth in Section 5.1 and except as Previously Disclosed, and except as to any representation or warranty which specifically relates to a specified date, which only need be so correct as of such specified date.

(1) The MFB Board, determines in good faith, after the receipt of advice from its outside counsel, that failure to take such action is inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Indiana law, and

(2) Prior to effecting a Change in Recommendation: (A) MFB, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall have complied in all material respects with Section 7.6, (B) the MFB Board shall have determined in good faith that such Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal after giving effect to all of the adjustments which may be offered by MutualFirst pursuant to clause (D) below, (C) MFB shall notify MutualFirst, at least three (3) business days in advance, of its intention to effect a Change in Recommendation in response to such Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal and furnishing MutualFirst with a copy of the documents containing the economic terms of the Superior Proposal, and (D) MFB shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the period following MFB’s delivery of the notice referred to in clause (C) above, negotiate with MutualFirst in good faith (to the extent MutualFirst desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Alternative Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(c) If MFB has made a Change in Recommendation in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2(b), it may, prior to the MFB Meeting, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1(i), enter into an acquisition agreement or similar agreement (a “Competing Acquisition Agreement”) with respect to such Superior Proposal.

7.3 MutualFirst Shareholder Approval. MutualFirst agrees to take, in accordance with applicable law, the MutualFirst Articles and the MutualFirst By-Laws, all action necessary to convene an appropriate meeting of its shareholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “MutualFirst Meeting”) to consider and vote upon the approval of the issuance of the MutualFirst Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective. The MutualFirst Board (i) shall recommend approval of the issuance of MutualFirst Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement by the MutualFirst shareholders, (ii) shall take all reasonable lawful action to solicit approval of the issuance of MutualFirst Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement by the MutualFirst shareholders, and (iii) shall not withdraw, modify or qualify in any manner adverse to MFB such recommendation.

7.4 Registration Statement and Joint Proxy Statement.

(a) MutualFirst agrees to promptly prepare a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) which, subject to compliance by MFB with Section 7.4(b), will comply in all material respects with applicable Securities Laws. The Registration Statement is to be filed by MutualFirst with the SEC in connection with the issuance of MutualFirst Common Stock in the Merger (including a combined proxy statement and prospectus and other proxy solicitation materials of MutualFirst and MFB constituting a part thereof (the “Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus”) and all related documents). MFB agrees to cooperate, and to cause its Subsidiaries, its counsel and its accountants to cooperate, with MutualFirst, its counsel and its accountants, in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus; and provided that MFB and its Subsidiaries have cooperated as required above, MutualFirst agrees to file the Registration Statement (or the form of the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus) in preliminary form with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such filing to occur within forty-five (45) days after execution of this Agreement. Each Party agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing thereof. MutualFirst also agrees to use reasonable best efforts to obtain, prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required for the issuance of MutualFirst Common Stock in the Merger. MFB agrees to furnish to MutualFirst all information concerning MFB, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors and shareholders as may be reasonably requested in connection with the foregoing.

(b) Each Party agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, 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 not misleading, and (ii) the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to the MFB and MutualFirst shareholders, respectively, and at the time of the MFB Meeting and the MutualFirst Meeting, respectively, 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 not misleading or any statement which, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made, will be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or which will omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not false or misleading or necessary to correct any statement in any earlier statement in the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Each Party further agrees that if it shall become aware prior to the Effective Time of any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other Party thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Joint Proxy Statement - Prospectus.

(c) MutualFirst agrees to advise MFB, promptly after MutualFirst receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of MutualFirst Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or for additional information.

7.5 Access; Information.

(a) Each Party agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, it shall afford the other Party and its Representatives, such access during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to its and its Subsidiaries’ books, records (including Tax Returns and work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and to such other information as may be reasonably requested and, during such period, it shall furnish as promptly as reasonable to the other Party or its Representatives (i) a copy of each material report, schedule and other document filed by it or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities or banking laws, and (ii) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of it and its Subsidiaries as the other Party or its Representatives may reasonably request. MFB shall also permit an independent expert environmental consulting firm, mutually selected by the Parties within twenty (20) days from the date hereof (the “Independent Expert”), at the sole expense of MutualFirst, to conduct such phase I and/or phase II environmental audits, studies and tests (the “Environmental Studies”) on the real properties owned by MFB or any of its Subsidiaries as necessary for such Independent Expert to provide its opinion as to the Required Environmental Expenditures, as defined below (the “Expert’s Opinion”). The Independent Expert shall deliver to the Parties the Expert’s Opinion in writing no later than ninety (90) days from the date hereof. MFB shall have fifteen (15) business days from the date of receipt of any Expert’s Opinion to review such opinion and deliver notice to the Independent Expert and MutualFirst of any dissatisfaction with the contents of the opinion (each such notice, an “MFB Objection Notice”). Within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, MFB and MutualFirst shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve all objections contained in an MFB Objection Notice (such fifteen-day period referred to herein as the “Resolution Period”). The term “Required Environmental Expenditures” means the Independent Expert’s good faith estimate, based upon the results of the Environmental Studies, of the dollar amount, if any, that MFB and its Subsidiaries would be required to expend for clean up, remediation and penalties relating to Materials of Environmental Concern with respect to their own real properties or any adjoining properties. In the event any subsurface or phase II site assessments are conducted (which assessments shall be at MutualFirst’s sole expense), MutualFirst shall indemnify MFB and its Subsidiaries for all costs and expenses associated with returning the property to its previous condition. Time is of the essence relating to the foregoing environmental matters.

(b) Each Party agrees that it will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.5 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Transactions or the change in ownership of the MFB Subsidiaries. Subject to the requirements of law, each Party will keep confidential, and will cause its Representatives to keep confidential, all information and documents obtained pursuant to this Section 7.5 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) unless such information (i) was already known to it, (ii) becomes available from other sources not known by it to be bound by a confidentiality obligation, (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Party providing the information or (iv) is or becomes readily ascertainable from published information or trade sources. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, each Party shall promptly cause all copies of documents, extracts thereof or notes, analyses, compilations, studies or other documents containing information and data as to the other Party and its Subsidiaries to be returned to the other Party or certify as to their destruction. No investigation by a Party or its Representatives of the business and affairs of the other Party or its Subsidiaries shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or any of the conditions to a Party’s obligation to consummate any of the Transactions.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access or disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of its customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Person in possession or control of such information or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or in the ordinary course of business.

7.6 Alternative Proposal. MFB agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Representatives and affiliates not to, (a) initiate, solicit, encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or proposals with respect to, any Alternative Proposal or (b) engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any nonpublic information to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to, any Alternative Proposal; provided that, in the event MFB receives an unsolicited written bona fide Alternative Proposal and the MFB Board concludes in good faith that such Alternative Proposal constitutes or may result in a Superior Proposal, MFB may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, take any action described in clause (b) above to the extent that the MFB Board determines in good faith (after the receipt of advice from its outside counsel) that failure to take such actions would likely result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Indiana law. Prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section, MFB shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms substantially identical in all material respects to the confidentiality agreement previously entered into by the Parties. MFB will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any Persons other than MutualFirst with respect to any Alternative Proposal and will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to an Alternative Proposal. MFB will promptly (within one business day) advise MutualFirst following receipt of any Alternative Proposal of all of the material terms thereof (including the identity of the Person making such Alternative Proposal), and will keep MutualFirst apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations (including the terms and conditions of the Alternative Proposal) on a current basis.

7.7 Press Releases. The initial press release announcing the Transactions will be a joint press release. Each Party agrees that thereafter it will not, without the prior approval of the other Party, issue any press release or written statement for general circulation relating to the Transactions, except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, FINRA rules, or Nasdaq rules, whichever is applicable, and then only after making reasonable efforts to first consult with the other Party.

7.8 Takeover Laws. No Party shall take any action that would cause any of the Transactions to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Law and each of them shall take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the Transactions from, or if necessary challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect.

7.9 Conforming Entries.

(a) MFB recognizes that MutualFirst and its Subsidiaries may have adopted different loan and accounting policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of loan loss allowances). Subject to applicable law, from and after the date hereof MFB shall consult and reasonably cooperate with MutualFirst with respect to conforming the loan and accounting policies and practices of MFB and its Subsidiaries to those policies and practices of MutualFirst and its Subsidiaries for financial accounting and/or income Tax reporting purposes, as reasonably specified in each case in writing from MutualFirst to MFB, based upon such consultation and subject to the conditions in Section 7.9(c); provided that MFB and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to take any such action that is not permitted under GAAP or the Code or regulatory guidance, whichever is applicable.

(b) Subject to applicable law, MFB shall consult and reasonably cooperate with MutualFirst with respect to determining, as reasonably specified in a written notice from MutualFirst to MFB, based upon such consultation and subject to the conditions in Section 7.9(c), the amount and the timing for recognizing for financial accounting and/or income Tax reporting purposes of MFB’s and MFB Financial’s expenses of the Transactions; provided that MFB and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to take any such action that is not permitted under GAAP or the Code or regulatory guidance, whichever is applicable.

(c) Subject to applicable law, MFB and its Subsidiaries shall (i) make such conforming entries to conform the loan and accounting policies and practices of MFB and its Subsidiaries to the policies and practices of MutualFirst and its Subsidiaries and (ii) recognize MFB’s and MFB Financial’s expenses of the Transactions for financial accounting and/or income Tax reporting purposes at such times as are reasonably requested in writing by MutualFirst, but in no event prior to the 5th day next preceding the Effective Date; provided, however, that on the date such entries are made and such charges and expenses are recognized, MutualFirst shall certify in writing to MFB that (i) all conditions to MutualFirst’s obligations to consummate the Transactions as set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.3 hereof (subject to the receipt of MFB’s officer certificate pursuant to Section 8.3(d)) have been satisfied or waived, (ii) it is not aware of any fact or circumstance that would delay or prevent the completion of the Transactions, and (iii) it proposes the Effective Date to be within five (5) business days; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.9, MFB and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 7.9 that is not permitted under applicable law (including the Code), regulations, GAAP or regulatory guidance, whichever is applicable. In no event shall MFB be required to take any actions pursuant to this Section 7.9(c) until all of the conditions to its obligations in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall have been satisfied.

(d) No conforming entries or accruals or charges or expenses recognized at the written request of MutualFirst in accordance with this Section 7.9 may be a basis to assert a violation or a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of MFB herein.

7.10 Systems Integration. Subject to Section 7.5(b) hereof, from and after the date hereof, MFB and MutualFirst shall cause MFB Financial and ▇▇▇▇ and their respective directors, officers and employees to, and shall make all reasonable efforts (without undue disruption to either business) to cause MFB Financial’s data processing consultants and software providers and ▇▇▇▇’▇ data processing service providers to, reasonably cooperate and assist MFB Financial or ▇▇▇▇ in connection with an electronic and systematic conversion of all applicable data of MFB Financial or ▇▇▇▇, as applicable, to the system selected by MutualFirst, including the training of MFB Financial employees or ▇▇▇▇ employees, as applicable, without undue disruption to either business, during normal business hours and at the expense of MutualFirst (not to include MFB Financial’s standard employee payroll).

7.11 Listing. MutualFirst agrees to use its best efforts to list, prior to the Effective Date, on the Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, the shares of MutualFirst Common Stock to be issued in the Merger.

7.12 Regulatory Applications.

(a) Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare all documentation, to effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate the Transactions and the change in ownership of the MFB Subsidiaries, and shall use reasonable best efforts to file within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, the applications necessary to obtain the permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all Regulatory Authorities necessary to consummate the Transactions. Each Party shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other Party, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to, all material written information submitted to any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and the change in ownership of the MFB Subsidiaries. In exercising the foregoing right, each Party agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each Party agrees that it will consult with the other Party with respect to the obtaining of all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the Transactions and the change in ownership of the MFB Subsidiaries, and each Party will keep the other Party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the Transactions and the change in ownership of the MFB Subsidiaries.

(b) Each Party agrees, upon request, to furnish the other Party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other Party or any of its Subsidiaries to any third party or Governmental Authority.

7.13 Current Information and Attendance at Board Meetings.

(a) During the period from the date hereof to the Effective Date, each Party shall, upon the request of the other Party, cause one or more of its designated officers to confer on a monthly or more frequent basis with officers of the other Party regarding the financial condition, operations and business of MFB, MutualFirst, and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and matters relating to the completion of the Transactions and the change in ownership of the MFB Subsidiaries. As soon as reasonably available, but in no event more than five (5) business days after filing, each Party will deliver to the other Party all reports filed by it or any of its Subsidiaries with any Regulatory Authority subsequent to the date hereof. Each Party will also deliver to the other Party as soon as practicable all quarterly and annual financial statements of such Party and its Subsidiaries prepared with respect to periods ending subsequent to September 30, 2007. As soon as practicable after the end of each month, each Party will deliver to the other Party in electronic form (a) the monthly deposit and loan trial balances of such Party, (b) the monthly analysis of such Party’s investment portfolio, and (c) monthly balance sheet and income statement of such Party and its Subsidiaries.

(b) The Chief Executive Officer and/or Chief Financial Officer of each Party as well as the President of MFB Financial and ▇▇▇▇, as applicable, shall be invited and entitled to attend all meetings of the board of directors of the other Party and the loan committee meetings of MFB Financial and ▇▇▇▇, respectively; provided however, such individuals shall be excluded from any portions of board meetings of the other Party involving discussions relating to an Alternative Proposal or discussions relating to matters which are otherwise deemed by the Board of such Party to be confidential, including discussions relating to this Agreement and the performance thereof. Board and loan committee packages and notices shall be submitted by each Party to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the other Party simultaneously with their submission to board members and loan committee members; provided confidential information may be excluded therefrom.

7.14 Officers’ and Directors’ Insurance; Indemnification.

(a) For six years from and after the Effective Date, MutualFirst shall maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering the Persons who are presently covered by MFB’s current officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy with respect to actions, omissions, events, matters or circumstances occurring prior to the Effective Time, on terms which are at least as favorable as the terms of said current policy, provided that it shall not be required to expend in the aggregate during the coverage period more than an amount equal to 150% of the annual premium most recently paid by MFB (the “Insurance Amount”) to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto, and further provided that if MutualFirst is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 7.14(a), MutualFirst shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Insurance Amount which may be in the form of tail coverage, or may request MFB to obtain such tail coverage at MFB’s expense prior to the Effective Date; provided, further, that officers and directors of MFB or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to MutualFirst’s insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance.

(b) In addition to Section 7.14(a) above, from and after the Effective Date, MutualFirst shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain and preserve the rights to indemnification of MFB’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, employees, directors and agents to the maximum extent permitted by any of the MFB Articles, MFB By-Laws and the charter and bylaws of MFB Financial and applicable law as in effect on the date hereof with respect to indemnification for liabilities and claims arising out of claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations (each, a “Claim”) made, asserted or arising prior to or within six (6) years after the Effective Time, if such Claim pertains to any acts, omissions, events, matters or circumstances occurring or existing at or prior to the Effective Time, including the Transactions, to the extent such rights to indemnification are not in excess of that permitted by applicable state or federal laws or Regulatory Authorities.

(c) In connection with the indemnification provided pursuant to Section 7.14(b), MutualFirst and/or an MutualFirst Subsidiary (i) will advance expenses, promptly after statements therefor are received, to each such indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by law and Regulatory Authorities, including the payment of the fees and expenses of one counsel with respect to a matter, and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, if necessary or appropriate, selected by such indemnified Person or multiple indemnified Persons, it being understood that they collectively shall only be entitled to one counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction where necessary or appropriate (unless a conflict shall exist between them in which case they may retain separate counsel), all such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to MutualFirst and (ii) will cooperate in the defense of any such matter.

(d) This Section 7.14 shall survive the Effective Time, is intended to benefit each indemnified Person (each of whom shall be entitled to enforce this Section against MutualFirst), and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of MutualFirst.

(e) In the event MutualFirst or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to one or more other Persons, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of MutualFirst assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.14.

(f) MutualFirst shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that may be reasonably incurred by any indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 7.14 if the indemnified Person is successful in whole or any material part or if any dispute relating thereto is settled or compromised.

7.15 Benefit Plans.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, MutualFirst or one of its Subsidiaries shall be substituted for MFB or a MFB Subsidiary under the MFB Employee Plans as Previously Disclosed and in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and MutualFirst or one of its Subsidiaries shall assume and be vested with all of the powers, rights, duties, obligations and liabilities previously vested in MFB or the applicable MFB Subsidiary with respect to each such MFB Employee Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each such MFB Employee Plan shall, to the extent permitted thereunder and by applicable law, be continued in effect by MutualFirst or an applicable MutualFirst Subsidiary after the Effective Time without a termination or discontinuance thereof as a result of the Transactions, subject to the power reserved to MutualFirst and each of its Subsidiaries to subsequently amend or terminate any such MFB Employee Plan, which amendment or termination shall comply with applicable law.

(b) MutualFirst shall provide, or cause a MutualFirst Subsidiary to provide, to each full time employee of MFB and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries who continues employment after the Effective Date (the “Continuing Employees”) the opportunity to participate without a waiting period (except in the case of a qualified plan, participation shall commence on the next entry date; provided that at no time shall a Continuing Employee not be eligible to participate in either the qualified plans of MFB or the qualified plans of MutualFirst) in each employee benefit and welfare plan maintained by MutualFirst or a MutualFirst Subsidiary, whichever is applicable, which is generally available to its similarly-situated employees on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis; provided that with respect to such plans maintained by MutualFirst or an MutualFirst Subsidiary, whichever is applicable, Continuing Employees shall be given credit for their past service with MFB or a MFB Subsidiary in determining eligibility for participation and vesting in benefits thereunder, but not accrual of benefits. Continuing Employees shall not be subject to any waiting periods under the group health plan of MutualFirst or any applicable MutualFirst Subsidiary to the extent that such periods are longer than the periods imposed under the applicable MFB group health plan and MutualFirst shall cause its health insurance carrier to cover pre-existing conditions that were previously covered for a Continuing Employee under the MFB health plan. To the extent that the initial period of coverage for Continuing Employees under any plan of MutualFirst or a MutualFirst Subsidiary, whichever is applicable, that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA is not a full 12-month period of coverage, Continuing Employees shall be given credit under the applicable welfare plan for any deductibles and co-insurance payments made by such Continuing Employees under the corresponding MFB welfare plan during the balance of such 12-month period of coverage. Nothing contained herein shall obligate MutualFirst or any MutualFirst Subsidiary to provide or cause to be provided any benefits duplicative to those provided under any benefit or welfare plan continued pursuant to Section 7.15(a), including extending participation in any plan which (i) is a qualified plan relative to any period of time with respect to which allocations are made to Continuing Employees under any qualified plan maintained or sponsored by MFB or a MFB Subsidiary that is continued by MutualFirst or an MutualFirst Subsidiary for the benefit of Continuing Employees or (ii) is an employee welfare benefit plan relative to any period of time that the MFB group health plan is continued by MutualFirst or an MutualFirst Subsidiary for the benefit of Continuing Employees. Nothing herein shall alter the power of MutualFirst or any MutualFirst Subsidiary to amend or terminate any benefit or welfare plans of MutualFirst, MFB or their respective Subsidiaries. Moreover, this Section 7.15(b) shall not confer upon any Continuing Employee any rights or remedies hereunder and shall not constitute a contract of employment or create any rights, to be retained or otherwise, in employment at MutualFirst or any MutualFirst Subsidiary.

(c) Until the Effective Time, MFB or an MFB Subsidiary, whichever is applicable, shall be liable for all obligations for continued health coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 through 609 of ERISA (“COBRA”) for eligible employees who incur a qualifying event before the Effective Time. MutualFirst or an MutualFirst Subsidiary, whichever is applicable, shall after the Effective Time be liable for (i) all obligations for continued health coverage under COBRA with respect to each qualified beneficiary of MFB or a MFB Subsidiary who incurs a termination on and after the Effective Time, and (ii) for continued health coverage under COBRA from and after the Effective Time for each qualified beneficiary of MFB or a MFB Subsidiary who incurs a qualifying event before the Effective Time.

(d) At the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall cause ▇▇▇▇ to honor and assume the MFB Financial Change in Control Agreement and the MFB Financial Salary Continuation Agreement; provided, however, that prior to the Effective Time the MFB Financial Salary Continuation Agreement shall be amended to provide that the Merger does not constitute a change in control under that agreement. At the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall, or it shall cause ▇▇▇▇ to, honor and assume the MFB Financial Director Fee Continuation Agreements. The directors who do not remain as directors of ▇▇▇▇ following the Effective Date shall be paid the present value of the benefits to which they are entitled under those agreements as provided therein, provided that directors with under five years of service at the Effective Date shall receive no benefits, and directors with between 5 to 10 years of service at the Effective Date shall receive the present value of their benefits otherwise payable over a five-year period. The affected directors agree to execute said documents as the parties shall deem necessary to such payments.

(e) At the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall, or it shall cause ▇▇▇▇ to, pay out the change in control benefits set forth in the MFB Financial Employment Agreements based upon a change in status of the executives who are parties thereto, subject to the limitations set forth therein, and further subject to such executives executing a release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to MutualFirst, whereupon such employment agreements shall terminate and have no further effect. Each of the executives who are parties to the MFB Financial Employment Agreements other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, to the extent he is a Continuing Employee, be an employee at will.

(f) At the request of MutualFirst ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ have entered into an employment agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto that will become effective at the Effective Time.

(g) With the exception of the employees who are parties to the MFB Financial Employment Agreements and the MFB Financial Change in Control Agreement, those employees of MFB or MFB Financial who (i) have been employed on a full time basis for at least one (1) year as of the Effective Time (ii) are terminated by MutualFirst or a MutualFirst Subsidiary without cause within six months after the Effective Date, and (iii) sign and deliver a customary termination and release agreement in the form acceptable to MutualFirst shall be entitled to severance pay equal to one week of pay, at their rate of pay in effect at the Effective Time, for each full year of continuous full time employment with MFB or MFB Financial or their successors not in excess of 26 years completed prior to the Effective Time or, in the case of employees who continue as employees of MutualFirst or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, prior to their termination as such. Nothing in this Section 7.15(g) shall be deemed to limit or modify MutualFirst’s or MFB’s at will employment policy.

7.16 MFB Stock Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each MFB Stock Option or portion thereof that is outstanding and unvested shall become fully vested and exercisable. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of a MFB Stock Option, each MFB Stock Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become an option to purchase MutualFirst Common Stock (each an “Assumed Option”) on the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to the MFB Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (a) each such Assumed Option may be exercised solely for shares of MutualFirst Common Stock, (b) the number of shares of MutualFirst Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option will be equal to the number of shares of MFB Common Stock subject to such MFB Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, the product being rounded, if necessary, up or down to the nearest whole share, and (c) the per share exercise price under each such Assumed Option will be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price of the MFB Stock Option by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding up or down to the nearest cent. It is intended that the foregoing assumption shall be undertaken consistent with and in a manner that will not constitute a “modification” under Code Section 409A. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall file an appropriate registration statement with respect to the shares of MutualFirst Common Stock subject to Assumed Options and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding.

7.17 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of MFB and MutualFirst shall give prompt written notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (a) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it, or (b) has caused or constituted or is reasonably likely to cause or constitute, a breach of (i) any of its representations or warranties as of the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any of its covenants or agreements contained herein; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement; and provided further that a failure to comply with this Section 7.17 shall not constitute a failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Article VIII unless the underlying untruth, inaccuracy, failure to comply or satisfy, or change or event would independently result in a failure to satisfy a condition set forth in Article VIII.
