Except as provided in the Citizens First Disclosure Schedule, nothing in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Citizens First, as amended, or the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of CF Bank, as amended, or in any material agreement or instrument, or any decree, proceeding, law or regulation (except as specifically referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement) by or to which Citizens First or CF Bank is bound or subject, would prohibit Citizens First or CF Bank from consummating, or would be violated or breached by Citizens First's or CF Bank's consummation of, this Agreement, the Holding Company Merger or the Bank Merger and other transactions contemplated herein on the terms and conditions herein contained. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Citizens First and CF Bank and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Citizens First and CF Bank, enforceable against Citizens First and CF Bank in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights or by general equity principles.

For the purpose of this Agreement, a \"Material Adverse Effect\" means any effect, circumstance, occurrence or change that (i) is material and adverse to the financial position, results of operations or business of Citizens First, CF Bank and the Trust taken as a whole, or GABC and German American taken as a whole, as applicable or (ii) would materially impair the ability of Citizens First or GABC, as applicable, to perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that a Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include the impact of (a) changes in banking and similar laws of general applicability to banks or their holding companies or interpretations thereof by courts or governmental authorities, (b) changes in GAAP or regulatory accounting requirements applicable to banks or their holding companies generally, (c) any modifications or changes to valuation policies and practices in connection with the Mergers or restructuring charges taken in connection with the Mergers, in each case in accordance with GAAP, (d) effects of any action taken with the prior written consent of the other party hereto, (e) changes in the general level of interest rates (including the impact on the securities portfolios of Citizens First and CF Bank, or GABC and German American, as applicable) or conditions or circumstances relating to or that affect either the United States economy, financial or securities markets or the banking industry, generally, (f) changes resulting from expenses (such as legal, accounting and investment bankers' fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, including without limitation payment of any amounts due to, or the provision of any benefits to, any directors, officers or employees under agreements, plans or other arrangements in existence of or contemplated by this Agreement and disclosed to GABC, (g) the impact of the announcement of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and compliance with this Agreement on the business, financial condition or results of operations of Citizens First, CF Bank and the Trust, or GABC and German American, as applicable and (h) the occurrence of any military or terrorist attack within the United States or any of its possessions or offices; provided that in no event shall a change in the trading price of the GABC Common Stock, by itself, be considered to constitute a Material Adverse Effect on GABC (it being understood that the foregoing proviso shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any effect underlying such decline has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect).\n(d) Other than the filing of Articles of Merger with the Indiana Secretary of State and the Kentucky Secretary of State for the Mergers and in connection or in compliance with the banking regulatory approvals contemplated by Section 5.01, federal and state securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and rules of NASDAQ, no notice to, filing with, authorization of, exemption by, or consent or approval of, any public body or authority is necessary for the consummation by Citizens First or CF Bank of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.\n(e) Other than those filings, authorizations, consents and approvals referenced in Section 2.02(d) above and except as set forth in the Citizens First Disclosure Schedule, no notice to, filing with, authorization of, exemption by, or consent or approval of, any third party is necessary for the consummation by Citizens First or CF Bank of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such authorizations, exemptions, consents or approvals, the failure of which to obtain, would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.", "samples": [{"hash": "iDhvylBx60Q", "uri": "/contracts/iDhvylBx60Q#authorization-no-defaults", "label": "Merger Agreement (German American Bancorp, Inc.)", "score": 30.1416837782, "published": true}, {"hash": "h9lo8POqNtU", "uri": "/contracts/h9lo8POqNtU#authorization-no-defaults", "label": "Merger Agreement (Citizens First Corp)", "score": 30.1416837782, "published": true}], "size": 6, "hash": "fe50ff6d815f9844f1ebcd438edc0126", "id": 3}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "the-board-of-directors", "type": "clause", "offset": [0, 22]}, {"key": "the-foundation", "type": "clause", "offset": [26, 40]}, {"key": "appropriate-action", "type": "definition", "offset": [53, 71]}, {"key": "ancillary-agreements", "type": "definition", "offset": [113, 133]}, {"key": "a-party", "type": "clause", "offset": [172, 179]}, {"key": "the-execution", "type": "clause", "offset": [195, 208]}, {"key": "authorized-officers", "type": "definition", "offset": [267, 286]}, {"key": "performance-by", "type": "definition", "offset": [295, 309]}, {"key": "other-corporate-proceedings", "type": "clause", "offset": [358, 385]}, {"key": "to-approve", "type": "clause", "offset": [430, 440]}, {"key": "the-transactions", "type": "clause", "offset": [537, 553]}, {"key": "contemplated-hereby", "type": "clause", "offset": [554, 573]}, {"key": "incorporation-or-bylaws", "type": "clause", "offset": [624, 647]}, {"key": "any-other-agreement", "type": "definition", "offset": [670, 689]}, {"key": "law-or-regulation", "type": "definition", "offset": [723, 740]}, {"key": "except-as-specifically", "type": "clause", "offset": [742, 764]}, {"key": "contemplated-by-this-agreement", "type": "clause", "offset": [783, 813]}, {"key": "transactions-contemplated-herein", "type": "clause", "offset": [998, 1030]}, {"key": "the-terms-and-conditions", "type": "definition", "offset": [1046, 1070]}, {"key": "executed-and-delivered", "type": "clause", "offset": [1142, 1164]}, {"key": "due-authorization", "type": "clause", "offset": [1201, 1218]}, {"key": "execution-and-delivery", "type": "clause", "offset": [1220, 1242]}, {"key": "parties-hereto", "type": "definition", "offset": [1263, 1277]}, {"key": "obligation-of-the", "type": "clause", "offset": [1318, 1335]}, {"key": "in-accordance-with", "type": "definition", "offset": [1383, 1401]}, {"key": "subject-to", "type": "definition", "offset": [1463, 1473]}, {"key": "similar-laws", "type": "definition", "offset": [1534, 1546]}, {"key": "in-effect", "type": "definition", "offset": [1564, 1573]}, {"key": "relating-to", "type": "definition", "offset": [1574, 1585]}, {"key": "rights-generally", "type": "clause", "offset": [1610, 1626]}, {"key": "general-principles", "type": "clause", "offset": [1632, 1650]}], "snippet": "The Board of Directors of the Foundation has, by all appropriate action, approved this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements to which the Foundation is or will be a party and authorized the execution hereof and thereof on the Foundation's behalf by its duly authorized officers and the performance by the Foundation of its obligations hereunder.
