(a) ONB and MonroeAnchor, and their representatives and agents, shall, upon reasonable notice to the other party, 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. ONB and MonroeAnchor, and their representatives and agents may, prior to the Effective Time, make or cause to be made such reasonable investigation of the operations, books, records and properties of the other party and their respective Subsidiaries and of their financial and legal condition as deemed necessary or advisable to familiarize themselves with such operations, books, records, properties and other matters; provided, however, that such access or investigation shall not interfere unnecessarily with the normal business operations of Monroe Anchor or ONB or either of their respective Subsidiaries. Upon request, Monroe Anchor and ONB will furnish the other party or its representatives or agents, their attorneys’ responses to external auditors requests for information, management letters received from their external auditors and such financial, loan and operating data and other information reasonably requested by ONB or Monroe Anchor 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 ONB or Monroe Anchor or their representatives or agents to discuss such information directly with any individual or firm performing auditing or accounting functions for Monroe Anchor or ONB, as applicable, and such auditors and accountants will be directed to furnish copies of any reports or financial information as developed to ONB or Monroe Anchor or its representatives or agents, as applicable. No investigation by ONB or Monroe Anchor shall affect the representations and warranties made by Monroe Anchor or ONB herein. Any confidential information or trade secrets received by ONB, Monroe Anchor 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 ONB or MonroeAnchor, as applicable, or at ONB’s or MonroeAnchor’s request, returned to ONB or MonroeAnchor, as applicable, in the event this Agreement is terminated as provided in Article VIII hereof. Additionally, any confidential information or trade secrets received by ONB or MonroeAnchor, or either of their agents or representatives in the course of their examinations (whether conducted prior to or after the date of this Agreement) shall be treated confidentially and in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 11.09 hereof). This Section 5.09 will not require the disclosure of any information to ONB or Monroe Anchor which would be prohibited by law. The ability of ONB or Monroe 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 5.09. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than the preceding sentence), except as reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, ONB and Monroe (and each employee, representative or agent of ONB and Monroe) 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 ONB or Monroe 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 ONB and Monroe 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, the President of ONB, 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 Monroe and any of its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the loan committee, investment committee, the executive committee, the Personnel committee, and any other committee of Monroe or its Subsidiaries, except that any such Persons shall be excluded from the portion of any meeting where this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or an Acquisition Proposal are being discussed.
