Loans Amount," calculations to Purchaser and National City within twenty

except (i) filings with, and approval by, the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB")

and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), as applicable, (ii)

individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, or (vi) as may

MainSource Group Member.

SECTION 3.05 Financial Information; Absence of Changes or Events.

(a) The December 2004 Balance Sheet and December 2004 Income Statement

(together, the "Madison Financial Statements") present fairly, in all material

respects, the financial condition and results of operations of Madison as of

December 31, 2004 and for the quarterly period then ended, and were prepared in

accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to normal year-end adjustment

and the absence of notes.

(b) Since December 31, 2004, Madison has not (i) incurred any material

liability or obligation (indirect, direct or contingent), except in the ordinary

course of its business consistent with past practices (and except for the

entering into of this Agreement) or (ii) suffered any change, or any event

involving a prospective change, in its business, financial condition or results

of operation, which as to clauses (i) and (ii) has had, or is likely to have, a

Material Adverse Effect upon Madison.

SECTION 3.06 Litigation. (i) There is no Action pending against National

City (that arises from or relates to Madison) or Madison nor, to the Knowledge

of National City, is any such Action threatened, and (ii) there is no Action

against National City (that arises from or relates to Madison) or Madison

pending before any Governmental Authority or, to the Knowledge of National City,

threatened to be brought by or before any Governmental Authority, which, as to

clauses (i) and (ii) will, either alone or in the aggregate with all such other

matters, have a Material Adverse Effect upon Madison. Madison is not subject to

or affected by any Governmental Order, and, to the Knowledge of National City,

there are no Governmental Orders threatened to be imposed on or affecting

Madison by any Governmental Authority, which will, either alone or in the

aggregate with all such other matters, have a Material Adverse Effect upon

Madison.

<PAGE>

SECTION 3.07 Taxes.

(a) Madison has filed all Tax Returns that it was required to file. All

such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes

owed by Madison (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid, and

Madison is not (i) delinquent in the payment of any Taxes shown on such returns

or reports or on any assessments received by it for such Taxes; (ii) aware of

any pending or threatened audit or examination for income taxes for any year by

the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or any state tax agency; or (iii) a party

to any action or proceeding with, nor has any claim been asserted against it by,

any Governmental Authority for assessment or collection of Taxes. Madison is not

currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax

Return, although it is anticipated to be extended in all pertinent filing

jurisdictions for purposes of all 2004 income-based Tax Returns. No claim has

ever been made by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction where Madison does

not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that

jurisdiction. None of the Tax Returns of Madison have been audited by the IRS or

any state tax agency for any period since the 2002 Tax year of Madison. The

reserve for Taxes in the Madison Financial Statements is, in the opinion of

management, adequate in all material respects to cover all of the tax

liabilities of Madison (including, without limitation, income taxes and

franchise fees) as of such date in accordance with GAAP. Madison is not bound by

any tax indemnity, tax sharing or tax allocation agreement or arrangement.

(b) Madison has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld

and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent

contractor, creditor, shareholder, or other Person.

or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or

deficiency, except as a member of National City's consolidated or unitary group.

SECTION 3.08 Regulatory Approvals. As of the Agreement Date, National City

has no reason to believe that any Governmental Authority would oppose or not

grant or issue its consent or approval, if requested, with respect to the

Merger, other than by reason of facts or circumstances relating solely to a

MainSource Group Member and/or its Affiliates.

SECTION 3.09 Legal Compliance.

(a) Madison is in compliance with all Laws except for such non-compliance

that, either alone or in the aggregate, is not reasonably likely to have a

Material Adverse Effect upon Madison. Madison possesses and holds all licenses,

franchises, permits, certificates and other authorizations necessary for the

continued conduct of its business without interference or interruption, except

where the failure to hold such license, franchise, permit, certificate and other

authorization is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect upon Madison.

(b) Neither National City nor Madison is a party to any written agreement

or memorandum of understanding with, or a party to any commitment letter or

similar undertaking to, or is subject to any Governmental Order or directive by,

or is a recipient of any extraordinary supervisory letter from, a Governmental

Authority that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing,

delaying, making illegal or otherwise interfering with the consummation of the

Merger or which will, either alone or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse

Effect upon Madison.

applicable Laws. Madison has no approved but unopened offices or branches.
