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 Hovde 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:
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.

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 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

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.
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 Dorothy Oremus 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.

Section 3.7 Reports and Financial Statements
.
(a) Since

subsidiaries have filed all reports, registrations and statements,
together with any required amendments thereto, that they were
required to file with the Commission under Section 12(b),
12(g), 13(a) or 14(a) of the Exchange Act, including, but not
limited to Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q, Forms 8-K and proxy statements
(the “Integra Reports”). Integra has previously
furnished or will promptly furnish
10
Prairie with

reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and
June 30, 2006. As of their respective dates, the Integra
Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of
the Commission and did not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstance under which they were made, not
misleading. The audited consolidated financial statements and
unaudited interim financial statements of Integra included in the
Integra Reports have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis
(except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto) and
fairly present the consolidated financial position of Integra and
Integra’s subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the
results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended, subject, in the case of the unaudited interim financial

adjustments described therein. There exist no material liabilities
of Integra and its consolidated subsidiaries, contingent or
otherwise of a type required to be disclosed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting practices, except as disclosed in the
Integra Reports. The reserves, the allowance for possible loan and
lease losses and the carrying value for real estate owned which are
shown in Integra’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006 are, to Integra’s Knowledge,
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.
(b) With respect
to each annual report on Form 10-K, each quarterly report on Form
10-Q and each amendment of any such report included in the Integra
Reports filed since August 29, 2002, the chief executive
officer and chief financial officer of Integra have made all
certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and any related rules and
regulations promulgated by the Commission and the statements
contained in any such certifications are complete and
correct.

outside auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors
of Integra (A) all significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the
Exchange Act) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect
Integra’s ability to record, process, summarize and report
financial data and (B) any fraud, whether
11
or not
material, that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in Integra’s internal control over financial
reporting.
(d) Integra is, or
will timely be, in compliance, in all material respects, with all
current and proposed listing and corporate governance requirements
of the Nasdaq Global Market, and is in compliance in all material
respects, and will continue to remain in compliance from the date
hereof until immediately after the Effective Time, with all rules,
regulations and requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the

financial condition, results of operations or business of Integra
and its subsidiaries which has had or will have a Material Adverse
Effect.
Section 3.9 Litigation . Except as disclosed in
the Integra Reports filed by Integra with the Commission prior to
the date of this Agreement, there is no suit, action or proceeding
pending, or, to the Knowledge of Integra, threatened against or
affecting Integra or any of Integra’s subsidiaries which, if
decided adversely to Integra, would be reasonably expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any judgment,
decree, injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Entity or
arbitrator outstanding against Integra or any of Integra’s
subsidiaries having, or which would reasonably be expected to have,
a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.10 Compliance with Laws and Orders .
Except as disclosed in the Integra Reports filed by Integra with
the Commission prior to the date of this Agreement, the businesses
of Integra and its subsidiaries 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 Integra Bank, all statutes,
rules and regulations pertaining to the conduct of the banking
business and the exercise of trust powers), except for violations
which individually or in the aggregate do not, and would not
reasonably be expected to, have a Material Adverse Effect. No
investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to
Integra or any of Integra’s subsidiaries is pending or, to
the Knowledge of Integra, 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 3.11 Fees . Except for fees paid and

Etc. Neither Integra nor any Integra Subsidiary is a party
to any written agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or a
party
12
to any
commitment letter, board resolution or similar undertaking to, or
is subject to any specific 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, nor has Integra 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 submission.

no reason why the granting of any of the regulatory approvals
referred to in Section 3.6, would be denied or unduly delayed.
Integra Bank is “well capitalized” in accordance with

a pro forma basis immediately following the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement. The most recent CRA rating of
Integra Bank is “Satisfactory” or better.

Agreement.

circumstance or event which would cause any of the representations
or warranties made by Integra and Sub pursuant to this Agreement to
be untrue as of the date hereof or at the Closing Date or which
prevents Integra and Sub from complying with any of their
obligations hereunder. To Integra’s Knowledge, there is no
fact or development which would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Integra’s or its
subsidiaries’ continuing business, which has not been set
forth in this Agreement.
Section 3.17 Disclosure . No representation or
warranty by Integra or Sub in this Agreement contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated herein or therein or necessary to make any
statement herein or therein not materially misleading. Any claim by
Prairie for a breach of representation, warranty, covenant,
agreement or obligation of Integra or Sub hereunder will not be
affected by any investigation conducted by Prairie with respect to,
or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) with respect
to, the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such
representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or
obligation.

business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which its

conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except for such
jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. Prairie is registered as a bank
holding company under the BHCA. Prairie has the requisite corporate
power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and
assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.
Prairie has heretofore delivered to Integra true and complete
copies of its Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws as currently
in effect.

other corporate proceedings on the part of Prairie are necessary to
authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions so
contemplated other than the Required Prairie Vote. This Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by, and constitutes valid and
binding obligations of, Prairie, enforceable against Prairie in
accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may

Prairie and each Prairie Subsidiary have prepared in good faith and
duly and timely filed, or caused to be duly and timely filed, Tax

(e) Prairie will
not be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any

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

Adverse Effect.
