MANNER AND BASIS OF EXCHANGE OF STOCK

 

3.01.   Consideration . (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time:

 

(a) Each share of UCBC Common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held as treasury stock of UCBC and shares held directly or indirectly by MainSource, except shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted, if any) shall become and be converted into the right to receive in accordance with this Article:

 

(i) An amount of cash equal to the Purchase Price (as such amount is determined and adjusted in accordance with Section 3.02 below) divided by the number of shares of UCBC Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time (such amount is the “Cash Consideration”), or

 

(ii) Such number of shares of common stock, without par value, of MainSource (“MainSource Common Stock”) equal to the quotient (the “Exchange Ratio”) arrived at by dividing:

 

 

A.

the Cash Consideration, by

 

 

B.

the average of the per share closing prices of a share of MainSource Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market during the ten trading days

 

4


 

preceding the fifth (5th) calendar day preceding the Effective Time (the “MainSource Average Stock Price”), subject to adjustment, if any, pursuant to Sections 3.02 and 3.06 hereof (the “Stock Consideration”).

 

The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Merger Consideration.”

 

(b) Subject to any consents required by law and Section 6.15 hereof, at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase UCBC Common Stock (“UCBC Stock Option”) without any action on the part of any holder thereof, shall be converted into the right to receive from MainSource, at the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Cash Consideration over the per share exercise price for each share of UCBC Common Stock subject to such UCBC Stock Option; provided, however, that the payer shall withhold from such cash payment those taxes required to be withheld by applicable law, if any. Each UCBC Stock Option to which this paragraph applies will be cancelled and shall cease to exist by virtue of such payment.

 

(c) Each share of UCBC Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is held as treasury stock of UCBC or held directly or indirectly by MainSource (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall by virtue of the Company Merger be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no exchange or payment shall be made therefor.

 

3.02. Purchase Price; Adjustments to Purchase Price .

 

(a) Purchase Price . Subject to the adjustments in this Section 3.02, the Purchase Price shall be equal to $52,993,000.

 

(b) Adjustment Based Upon UCBC’s Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity .

 

(i) Unless waived by MainSource pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, if as of the last business day of the month preceding the month in which the Effective Time occurs (the “Computation Date”) the UCBC Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity, as determined in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii), is less than $30,600,000, the Purchase Price shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the difference between $30,600,000 and the actual UCBC Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity as of the Computation Date determined in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii). If at the Computation Date UCBC’s Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity is greater than $31,100,000, the Purchase Price shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to the difference between $31,100,000 and the actual UCBC Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity as of the Computation Date determined in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii).

 

(ii) The UCBC Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity shall be determined based upon the balance sheet of UCBC as of the Computation Date, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, after making adjustments for the following items and tax effecting those adjustments, using a 39% tax rate, where appropriate:

(c) Adjustment Based on Market Price of MainSource Common Stock.

 

(i) If the MainSource Average Stock Price is less than $16.50 per share, the Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the Cash Consideration divided by $16.50 (as further adjusted pursuant to Section 3.06, as necessary).

 

(ii) If the MainSource Average Stock Price is greater than $21.50 per share, the Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the Cash Consideration divided by $21.50 (as further adjusted pursuant to Section 3.06, as necessary).

 

3.03.   Fractional Shares . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no fractional shares of MainSource Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Company Merger; instead, MainSource shall pay to each holder of UCBC Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share of MainSource Common Stock an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction by the MainSource Average Stock Price.

 

3.04.   Election and Proration Procedures .

 

(a) An election form and letter of transmittal (the “Election Form”) shall be mailed to each record holder of UCBC Common Stock along with the proxy materials for the special shareholders’ meeting at which the Company Merger will be submitted to a vote of UCBC’s shareholders. The shareholders of UCBC entitled to receive the Election Form shall be those shareholders of record as of the record date fixed for the special shareholders’ meeting at which

 

6


 

the Company Merger will be submitted to a vote of UCBC’s shareholders (the “Special Record Date”). UCBC and MainSource shall also establish a deadline for receipt of such Election Forms (the “Election Deadline”), which deadline shall be the close of business on the date of the special meeting at which the Company Merger will be submitted to a vote of UCBC’s shareholders. MainSource shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Election Form to shareholders of record who become such after the record date and before the Election Deadline. The Election Forms UCBC shall provide to MainSource shall include all information reasonably necessary for UCBC to perform its obligations as specified herein.

 

(b) Each Election Form shall entitle the holder of shares of UCBC Common Stock to:

 

(i) elect to receive the Cash Consideration for all of such holder's shares (a "Cash Election");

 

(ii) elect to receive the Stock Consideration for all of such holder's shares (a "Stock Election");

 

(iii) elect to receive the Cash Consideration with respect to some of such holder's shares and the Stock Consideration with respect to such holder's remaining shares (a "Mixed Election"); or

 

(iv) make no election or to indicate that such holder has no preference as to the receipt of the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration (a "Non-Election").

 

Shares of UCBC Common Stock as to which a Cash Election has been made (including pursuant to a Mixed Election) are referred to herein as "Cash Election Shares." Shares of UCBC Common Stock as to which a Stock Election has been made (including pursuant to a Mixed Election) are referred to herein as "Stock Election Shares." Shares of UCBC Common Stock as to which no election has been made are referred to herein as "Non-Election Shares." The aggregate number of Stock Election Shares and Non-Election Shares are referred to herein as the "Stock Election Number."

 

(c) An election shall be duly made by completing the Election Form and any other required documents in accordance with the instructions set forth therein and delivering them to MainSource before 5:00 p.m., E.S.T., on the Election Deadline. An election shall have been properly made only if MainSource 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 therefor representing UCBC Common Stock ("Certificates") (or customary affidavits and, if required by MainSource pursuant to Section 3.05(g), a bond as indemnity against any claim that may be made with respect to such Certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificates) representing all shares of UCBC Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included with the Election Form. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, MainSource shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation, or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in

 

7


 

any Election Form, and any good faith decisions of MainSource regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive.

 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, fifty-five percent (55%) of the total number of shares of UCBC Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time (the "Stock Conversion Number") shall be converted into the Stock Consideration and the remaining outstanding shares of UCBC Common Stock shall be converted into the Cash Consideration; provided, however, that for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Mergers will qualify as an integrated plan of reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in order that the aforementioned integrated plan of reorganization will not fail to satisfy continuity of interest requirements under applicable federal income tax principles relating to reorganizations under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, MainSource reserves the right to increase the number of shares of UCBC Common Stock that will be converted into Stock Consideration and reduce the number of shares of UCBC Common Stock that will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration to ensure that the Stock Consideration will represent at least fifty percent (50%) of the value of the total of the aggregate Merger Consideration plus any amount treated as merger consideration for federal income tax purposes.

 

(e) Within five (5) business days after the Effective Time, MainSource shall effect the allocation among holders of UCBC Common Stock of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration and to distribute such consideration as follows:

 

(i) if the Stock Election Number equals the Stock Conversion Number, then (A) all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and (B) all Stock Election Shares and Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration;

 

(ii) if the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number, the Cash Elections shall be eliminated (each in its entirety) and converted to Stock Elections (each in its entirety) by first eliminating and converting the Cash Election which covers the smallest number of shares of UCBC Common Stock, and then eliminating and converting the Cash Election which covers the next smallest number of shares and continuing this process until the total remaining number of outstanding UCBC shares covered by Cash Elections is such that fifty-five percent (55%) of the total number of shares of UCBC Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time shall be converted into the Stock Consideration, subject to MainSource’s reserved right in Section 3.04(d) to increase the number of shares of UCBC Common Stock that will be converted into Stock Consideration to ensure that the Company Merger is a tax-free reorganization; and

 

(iii) if the Stock Election Number exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, the Non-Elections shall be eliminated (each in its entirety) and converted to Cash Elections (each in its entirety) by first eliminating and converting the Non-Election which covers the smallest number of shares of UCBC Common Stock, and then eliminating and converting the Non-Election which covers the next smallest number of shares and continuing this process until either all Non-Elections are converted into the Cash Consideration or the total remaining number of

 

8


 

outstanding UCBC shares covered by Non-Elections (when added to all Stock Elections) is such that 55% of the total number of shares of UCBC Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time shall be converted into the Stock Consideration, subject to MainSource’s reserved right in Section 3.04(d) to increase the number of shares of UCBC Common Stock that will be converted into Stock Consideration to ensure that the Company Merger is a tax-free reorganization. In the event that, following the elimination and conversion of all Non-Elections to Cash Elections, the Stock Election Number still exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, the Stock Elections will be eliminated (each in its entirety) and converted to Cash Elections (each in its entirety) in the same manner as the Non-Elections in this Section 3.04(e)(iii), until such time as the total remaining number of UCBC Common Shares covered by Stock Elections is such that 55% of the total number of shares of UCBC Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time shall be converted into the Stock Consideration, subject to MainSource’s reserved right in Section 3.04(d), as provided herein.

 

For purposes of this Section 3.04(e), if MainSource is obligated to increase the number of shares of UCBC Common Stock to be converted into shares of MainSource Common Stock as a result of the application of the last clause of Section 3.04(d) hereof, then the higher number shall be substituted for the Stock Conversion Number in the calculations set forth in this Section 3.04(e).

 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04, if (i) a shareholder of UCBC certifies in writing at the time of filing a Cash Election for all of his shares (the "Certifying Cash Elector"), that his outstanding UCBC shares are deemed to be constructively owned by another shareholder of UCBC (the "Constructive Owner") under the provisions of Section 318(a) of the Code, and (ii) the Constructive Owner has filed a valid Cash Election, then the elections of the Certifying Cash Elector or Electors and the Constructive Owner or Owners shall be treated as a single election, and their shares shall be aggregated for purposes of determining priority for conversion into cash.

 

(g) A holder of UCBC's shares that is a bank, trust company, security broker-dealer or other recognized nominee, may submit one or more Election Forms for the persons for whom it holds shares as nominee provided that such bank, trust company, security broker-dealer or nominee certifies to the satisfaction of UCBC and MainSource the names of the persons for whom it is so holding shares (the "Beneficial Owners"). In such case, each Beneficial Owner for whom an Election Form is submitted shall be treated as a separate owner for purposes of the election procedure and allocation of shares set forth herein.

 

3.05.   Exchange Procedures .

 

(a) Distributions by MainSource of the Merger Consideration shall be made in accordance with Section 3.04. At and after the Effective Time, each certificate representing shares of UCBC Common Stock shall represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, MainSource shall reserve a sufficient number of shares of MainSource Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration and shall

 

9


 

deposit with MainSource Bank an estimated amount of cash to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration.

 

(c) MainSource shall cause a certificate representing that number of whole shares of MainSource Common Stock that each holder of UCBC Common Stock has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.04, if any, and a check in the amount of any cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.04, if any, including any cash in lieu of fractional shares, or dividends or distributions which such person shall be entitled to receive, to be delivered to such shareholder upon delivery (if not previously delivered) to MainSource of certificates representing such shares of UCBC Common Stock ("Old Certificates") (or bond as indemnity satisfactory to MainSource if any of such certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed) owned by such shareholder. No interest will be paid on any Merger Consideration that any such person shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III upon such delivery.

 

(d) No dividends or other distributions on MainSource Common Stock with a record date occurring after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate representing shares of UCBC Common Stock converted in the Company Merger into the right to receive shares of such MainSource Common Stock until the holder thereof surrenders such Old Certificates in accordance with this Section 3.05. After becoming so entitled in accordance with this Section 3.05, the record holder thereof also 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 MainSource Common Stock such holder had the right to receive upon surrender of the Old Certificate.

 

(e) The stock transfer books of UCBC shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer records of UCBC of any shares of UCBC Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Old Certificates are presented to MainSource, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.05.

 

(f) MainSource shall be entitled to rely upon UCBC's stock transfer books to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, MainSource shall be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

 

(g) If any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by MainSource, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as MainSource may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, MainSource will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Old Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof.

 

10


 

 

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of UCBC Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

 

3.06.   Anti-Dilution Adjustments . Should MainSource change (or establish a record date for changing) the number of shares of MainSource Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time by way of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding MainSource Common Stock, and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Stock Consideration shall be adjusted so the shareholders shall receive, in the aggregate, such number of shares of MainSource Common Stock representing the same percentage of outstanding shares of MainSource Common Stock at the Effective Time as would have been represented by the number of shares of MainSource Common Stock the shareholders of UCBC would have received if any of the foregoing actions had not occurred.

 

3.07.   Exchange Agent . UCBC and MainSource agree that Registrar and Transfer Company shall be appointed to act as agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for purposes of mailing and receiving the Election Forms, tabulating the results and distributing the Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

with such third party, and enter into any such agreement, arrangement or understandings, in each case, only if UCBC's Board of Directors determines in good faith by majority vote, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failing to take such action would be a breach of the fiduciary duties of UCBC's Board of Directors in connection with seeking an Acquisition Transaction.

6.08.   Material Changes to Disclosure Schedules . UCBC and Union Federal shall promptly supplement, amend and update, upon the occurrence of any change prior to the Effective Time, and as of the Effective Time, the Disclosure Schedule with respect to any matters or events hereafter arising which, if in existence or having occurred as of the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedule or this Agreement and including, without limitation, any fact which, if existing or known as of the date hereof, would have made any of the representations or warranties of UCBC or Union Federal contained herein materially incorrect, untrue or misleading. No such supplement, amendment or update shall become part of the Disclosure Schedule unless MainSource shall have first consented in writing with respect thereto.

 

6.09.   Access; Information . (a) MainSource and UCBC, and their representatives and agents, shall, at all times during normal business hours prior to the Effective Time, have full and continuing access to the properties, facilities, operations, books and records of the other party.

Upon request, UCBC and MainSource will furnish the other party or its representatives or agents, their attorneys' responses to external auditors requests for information,

 

38


 

management letters received from their external auditors and such financial, loan and operating data and other information reasonably requested by MainSource or UCBC which has been or is developed by the other party, its auditors, accountants or attorneys (provided with respect to attorneys, such disclosure would not result in the waiver by the other party of any claim of attorney-client privilege), and will permit MainSource or UCBC or their representatives or agents to discuss such information directly with any individual or firm performing auditing or accounting functions for UCBC or MainSource, as applicable, and such auditors and accountants will be directed to furnish copies of any reports or financial information as developed to MainSource or UCBC or its representatives or agents, as applicable. No investigation by MainSource or UCBC shall affect the representations and warranties made by UCBC, Union Federal or MainSource herein. Any confidential information or trade secrets received by MainSource, UCBC or their representatives or agents in the course of such examination will be treated confidentially, and any correspondence, memoranda, records, copies, documents and electronic or other media of any kind containing such confidential information or trade secrets or both shall be destroyed by MainSource or UCBC, as applicable, or at MainSource’s or UCBC's request, returned to MainSource or UCBC, as applicable, in the event this Agreement is terminated as provided in Article IX hereof. This Section 6.09 will not require the disclosure of any information to MainSource or UCBC which would be prohibited by law. The ability of MainSource or UCBC to consult with any tax advisor (including a tax advisor independent from all other entities involved in the transactions contemplated hereby) shall not be limited by this Agreement in any way, provided that any such tax advisor is otherwise subject to and is bound by this Section 6.09. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than the preceding sentence), except as reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, MainSource and UCBC (and each employee, representative or agent of MainSource and UCBC) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to MainSource or UCBC relating to such tax structure, provided that, in the case of any materials that contain information other than the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, but not limited to, any information relating to the pricing or any cost of the transactions contemplated hereby or the identity of any party to the transactions contemplated hereby), this sentence shall apply to such materials only to the extent that such materials contain the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and MainSource and UCBC shall take all action necessary to prevent the disclosure of such other information as otherwise provided herein. The immediately preceding sentence shall not be effective until the earliest of (a) the date of the public announcement of discussions relating to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) the date of the public announcement of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (c) the date of the execution of an agreement, with or without conditions, to enter into any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(b) Beginning on the date of this Agreement, James L. Saner, President of MainSource, or his designees, shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend all regular and special meetings of the board of directors and all committees of UCBC and Union Federal, including, without limitation, the loan committee, investment committee, the executive committee, the personnel committee, and any other committee of UCBC and Union Federal, except that any such person shall be excluded from the portion of any meeting where this Agreement or the
