THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is dated to be effective as of the 10th day of August, 2021, by and among FIRST FINANCIAL CORPORATION, an Indiana corporation (“FFC”), HB SUBSIDIARY, INC., a Kentucky corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Xxxxxxx Bancorp, Inc., a Kentucky corporation (“HBI”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, HBI is a Kentucky corporation registered as a bank holding company with the FRB under the BHC Act, with its principal office located in Hawesville, Kentucky;

WHEREAS, as soon as practicable following the merger of Merger Sub with and into HBI, with HBI as the surviving corporation under the name HB Subsidiary, Inc., HB Subsidiary, Inc. (f/k/a HBI) will merge with and into FFC, with FFC as the surviving corporation; and

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of each of the parties hereto have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective corporations and their respective shareholders to consummate the merger provided for herein and have approved this Agreement, authorized its execution and designated this Agreement a plan of merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby make this Agreement and prescribe the terms and conditions of the merger of Merger Sub with and into HBI, and the mode of carrying such merger into effect as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE MERGER

1.01    The Merger.

1.02    General Description. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Kentucky Business Corporation Act (“KBCA”), at the Effective Time (as defined in Article IX), Merger Sub shall merge with and into HBI (the “Merger”). HBI shall survive the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Kentucky. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall terminate.

(a)Name, Officers and Directors. The name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “HB Subsidiary, Inc.” and its principal office shall be located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000. The officers of Merger Sub serving at the Effective Time shall serve as the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until such time as their successors shall have been duly elected and have qualified or until their earlier resignation, death or removal from office. The directors of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time shall be those individuals serving as directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time, until such time as their successors have been duly elected and have qualified or until their earlier resignation, death, or removal as a director.

(b)Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of HBI in existence at the Effective Time, as amended pursuant to Section 1.01(b), shall remain the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time, until such Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws shall be further amended as provided by applicable Law (as defined in Section 3.05(a)).

(c)Effect of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the KBCA.

(d)Integration. At the Effective Time and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto currently intend to effectuate, or cause to be effectuated, the Merger, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the KBCA. If required, the parties agree to enter into a separate short-form plan of merger evidencing the terms required by applicable Law. The parties agree to cooperate and to take all reasonable actions prior to or following the Effective Time, including executing all requisite documentation, as may be reasonably necessary to effect the Merger in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

1.03    Absence of Control. Subject to any specific provisions of this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that neither FFC or Merger Sub, on the one hand, nor HBI, on the other hand, by reason of this Agreement shall be deemed (until consummation of the transactions contemplated herein) to control, directly or indirectly, the other parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries (as defined in the introductory paragraph to Article III) and shall not exercise or be deemed to exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence over the management or policies of such other parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

1.04    Bank Merger. Subsequent to the Effective Time, Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust will merge with and into First Financial Bank (the “Bank Merger”). First Financial Bank shall be the surviving entity in the Bank Merger and, following the Bank Merger, the separate corporate existence of Xxxxxxx Bank &

Trust shall cease. FFC and HBI shall cause First Financial Bank and Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust to enter into the agreement and plan of merger attached hereto as Exhibit 1.03 (the “Bank Merger Agreement”) within five (5) days of the date of this Agreement. HBI shall cause Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust, and FFC shall cause First Financial Bank, to execute such articles of merger, certificates of merger, and such other documents and certificates as are necessary to make the Bank Merger effective (“Bank Merger Certificates”) following the Effective Time at a time determined pursuant to this Section 1.03.

1.05    Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of the common stock of HBI, par value of $4.00 per share, (the “HBI Common Stock”) which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by persons who have properly exercised, and not withdrawn or waived, appraisal rights with respect thereto (“Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with the KBCA will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but will be entitled in lieu thereof to receive payment of the fair value of their Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of the KBCA unless and until the holders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or lose their rights to appraisal and payment under the KBCA. If, after the Effective Time, any holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses their rights referred to in the preceding sentence, the applicable holder’s shares of HBI Common Stock will thereupon be treated as if the shares had been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01, without any interest thereon. HBI will give FFC prompt notice of any notices of intent to demand payment under the KBCA received by HBI with respect to shares of HBI Common Stock. Prior to the Effective Time, HBI will not, except with the prior written consent of FFC (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any demands referred to in this Section 1.04.

1.06    Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. At FFC’s election, the Merger may alternatively be structured so that (a) HBI is merged with and into FFC, (b) HBI is merged with and into any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FFC, or (c) any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FFC is merged with and into HBI; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration (as hereinafter defined) to the holders of the HBI Common Stock, (ii) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) alter or amend the obligations of FFC to pay the Merger Consideration, or (iv) adversely affect the tax consequences to HBI’s shareholders pursuant to this Agreement. In the event of such an election, the parties agree to execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement (to the extent such amendment only changes the method of effecting the business combination and does not substantively affect this Agreement or the rights and obligations of the parties or their respective shareholders) in order to reflect such election.

1.07    Post-Closing Merger. The parties acknowledge that as soon as practicable following the Effective Time of the Merger and the Bank Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into FFC, with FFC as the surviving corporation.

A.

ARTICLE II.

MANNER AND BASIS OF EXCHANGE OF STOCK

2.01    Merger Consideration.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, other than Dissenting Shares, each share of HBI Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares held as treasury stock of HBI and shares held directly or indirectly by FFC, except shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted, if any; which shares are collectively referred to as the “Exempt HBI Stock”) shall become and be converted into the right to receive, in accordance with this Article II, the amount equal to: (i) Thirty-One Million Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($31,350,000.00) (the “Merger Consideration”), divided by (ii) the number of shares of issued and outstanding shares of HBI Common Stock excluding the Exempt HBI Stock (such quotient, the “Shareholder Consideration”).

(b)FFC shall pay or cause to be paid, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the Merger Consideration to the Exchange Agent (as defined below) on the Closing Date.

2.02    Exchange Procedures.

At and after the Effective Time, each certificate representing outstanding shares of HBI Common Stock (other than the Exempt HBI Stock and Dissenting Shares) shall represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(a)Within five (5) business days after the Effective Time (and provided HBI has delivered to the Exchange Agent (as defined below) all information which is necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform its obligations hereunder), a third-party exchange agent designated by FFC (referred to when acting in such capacity as the “Exchange Agent”) shall mail to each holder of HBI Common Stock a letter of transmittal providing instructions as to the transmittal to the Exchange Agent of such shareholder’s stock certificates representing his or her shares of HBI Common Stock (the “Old Certificates”) in exchange for the issuance of the Merger Consideration applicable thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)FFC shall cause either a check or a wire, as requested by each shareholder, in the amount of such holder’s proportionate share of the Merger Consideration to be delivered to such shareholder as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than five (5) business days, after delivery to the Exchange Agent of the Old Certificates (or bond or other indemnity satisfactory to FFC if any of such certificates are lost, stolen, or destroyed) owned by such shareholder accompanied by a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, in the form and substance mutually satisfactory to FFC and HBI, and any other documents required by this Agreement or reasonably requested by FFC or the Exchange Agent. No interest will be paid on any Merger Consideration that any such holder shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II upon such delivery.

(c)The stock transfer books of HBI 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 HBI of any shares of HBI Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Old Certificates are presented to FFC, 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 Article II.

(d)FFC shall be entitled to rely upon HBI’s stock transfer books to establish the identity of those individuals, partnerships, corporations, trusts, joint ventures, organizations, or other entities (each, a “Person”) 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 Old Certificate, FFC shall be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party selected by FFC and thereafter be relieved from any and all liability with respect to any claims thereto.

(e)If any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact (an “Affidavit of Lost Certificate”) by the Person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by FFC the posting by such Person of a bond or other indemnity satisfactory to FFC as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate (an “Indemnity Bond”), FFC will issue in exchange for such Affidavit of Lost Certificate, the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to, and in accordance with, the other terms and conditions of this Article II; provided, that FFC shall not require the posting of an Indemnity Bond in the event that the Person making such Affidavit of Lost Certificate is an individual and the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration to be paid to such Person pursuant to this Agreement is less than $5,000.

(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, all shares of HBI Common Stock that are held as treasury stock of HBI or owned by FFC (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no Merger Consideration shall be exchanged therefor.

(g)If outstanding certificates for shares of HBI Common Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration payable therefor would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed Merger Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable Law, become the property of FFC (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of shares of HBI Common Stock for any Merger Consideration or other amount properly delivered or paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

ARTICLE III.

This Agreement and its execution and delivery by HBI have been duly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of HBI and, assuming due execution and delivery by FFC and Merger Sub, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of HBI, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent limited by general principles of equity and public policy and by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium, readjustment of debt, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

(c)Other than in connection or in compliance with the provisions of the applicable federal and state banking, securities, antitrust, and corporation statutes, all as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, no notice to, filing with, exemption by or consent, authorization, or approval of any Governmental Authority is necessary for consummation of the Merger by HBI.

3.03    Capitalization.

(a)As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of HBI consists of 2,000,000 shares of HBI Common Stock, 1,706,098 shares of which are issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock.

(c)There are no options, warrants, commitments, calls, puts, agreements, understandings, arrangements, or subscription rights relating to any shares of HBI Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of HBI’s Subsidiaries, or any securities convertible into or representing the right to purchase or otherwise acquire any common stock or debt securities of HBI or its Subsidiaries, by which HBI is or may become bound. HBI does not have any outstanding contractual or other obligation to repurchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any of the issued and outstanding shares of HBI Common Stock. To HBI’s knowledge, there are no voting trusts, voting arrangements, buy-sell agreements, or similar arrangements affecting the capital stock of HBI or its Subsidiaries.

(d)Except as set forth in the HBI Disclosure Schedule, HBI has no knowledge of any Person which beneficially owns (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”)) 10% or more of the outstanding shares of HBI Common Stock.

3.04    Organizational Documents.

5.06Acquisition Proposals.

(a)HBI will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, and its and their respective officers, directors, and representatives (including ProBank Austin) to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitations, discussions, or negotiations with any Person concerning an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in Section 5.06(e)). During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, HBI shall not terminate, amend, modify, or waive any material provision of any confidentiality or similar agreement to which HBI or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (other than any involving FFC).

(b)Except as permitted in this Section 5.06, HBI shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and any of their respective directors, officers and representatives (including ProBank Austin) not to, (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or facilitate, or take any other action designed to, or that could reasonably be expected to, facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiries with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) engage or participate in discussions with any Person regarding an Acquisition Proposal, except in each case as to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.06; provided, however, that, at any time prior to obtaining the approval of the Merger by HBI’s shareholders, if HBI receives a bona fide Superior Proposal that the Board of Directors of HBI (“HBI Board”) determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside counsel, and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that failure to take the foregoing actions would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, HBI may furnish, or cause to be furnished, non-public information with respect to HBI and its Subsidiaries to the Person who made such Superior Proposal and may participate in discussions and negotiations regarding such proposal if prior to taking such action, HBI has used its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a confidentiality agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal on terms no less favorable to HBI than the confidentiality agreement between HBI and FFC and that contains a standstill agreement on customary terms. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions contained in the first sentence of this Section 5.06(b) by any representative (including ProBank Austin) of HBI or its Subsidiaries shall be a breach of this Section 5.06 by HBI.

(c)Neither the HBI Board nor any committee thereof shall (or shall agree or resolve to) (i) fail to make, withdraw, or modify in a manner adverse to FFC or propose to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to FFC (or take any action inconsistent with) the recommendation by such HBI Board or any such

committee of this Agreement or the Merger, or approve or recommend, or propose to recommend, the approval or recommendation of any Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) cause or permit HBI or Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, or other agreement (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”) constituting or related to, or which is intended to or would be reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.06(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the special meeting of HBI’s shareholders to approve the Merger, the HBI Board may, in response to a Superior Proposal, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, provided, that the HBI Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of HBI under applicable Law, and provided, further, that the HBI Board may not effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change unless (A) the HBI Board shall have first provided prior written notice to FFC (an “Adverse Recommendation Change Notice”) that it is prepared to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall, in the case of a Superior Proposal, attach the most current version of any proposed written agreement or letter of intent relating to the transaction that constitutes such Superior Proposal (it being understood that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new ten (10) business day period) and (B) FFC does not make, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, a proposal that would, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the HBI Board (after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel), cause the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal or that the Adverse Recommendation Change is no longer required to comply with the HBI Board’s fiduciary duties to the shareholders of HBI under applicable Law. HBI agrees that, during the ten (10) business day period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change, HBI and its officers, directors, and representatives shall negotiate in good faith with FFC and its officers, directors, and representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by FFC.

(d)In addition to the obligations of HBI set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 5.06, HBI shall as promptly as possible, and in any event within two (2) business days after HBI first obtains knowledge of the receipt thereof, advise FFC orally and in writing of (i) any Acquisition Proposal or any request for information that HBI reasonably believes could lead to or contemplates an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) any inquiry HBI reasonably believes could lead to any Acquisition Proposal, along with the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request, or inquiry (including any subsequent amendment or other modification to such terms and conditions) and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal or request or inquiry. In connection with any such Acquisition Proposal, request, or inquiry, if there occurs or is presented to HBI any offer, material change, modification, or development to a previously made offer, letter of intent, or any other material development, HBI (or its outside counsel) shall (A) advise and confer with FFC (or its outside counsel) regarding the progress of negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal, the material resolved and unresolved issues related thereto, and the material terms (including material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request, or inquiry, and (B) promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof provide FFC with true, correct, and complete copies of any document or communication related thereto.

(e)For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean (i) any inquiry, proposal, or offer from any Person or group of Persons (other than as contemplated by this Agreement) relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase,

No such supplement, amendment, or update shall have any effect for the purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII or become part of the HBI Disclosure Schedule unless FFC shall have first consented in writing with respect thereof (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

Additionally, any confidential information or trade secrets received by FFC or HBI, 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 11.08).

5.10    Financial Statements. No later than August 31, 2021, HBI will present to FFC an audited consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statement of earnings, consolidated statement of cash flows, and consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity of HBI for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and as soon as available after the date of this Agreement, HBI will deliver to FFC any additional audited consolidated financial statements which are prepared on its behalf or

The Subsequent HBI Financial Statements will be prepared on a basis consistent with past accounting practices and GAAP (to the extent applicable) and shall present fairly the financial condition and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented (except in the case of Call Report information for the absence of notes and/or year-end adjustments).

5.11    Environmental.

(a)HBI will cooperate with the conduct, at any time after the date hereof until the Effective Time (the “Investigation Period”), of such physical, zoning, land use, environmental, and other inspections, examinations, and investigations of the Real Property by FFC or its designees, including, without limitation any Phase I or Phase II environmental site assessments and surveys of the Real Property (the “Property Inspections”). Subject to the rights of any tenants arising under their leases affecting the applicable Owned Real Property, FFC shall conduct the Property Inspections during reasonable business hours with at least two (2) days’ prior notice to HBI. FFC shall conduct the Property Inspections at its sole cost and expense. FFC shall furnish true and complete copies of any reports of the environmental consulting firm designated by FFC (the “Designated Environmental Consultant”) that it receives with respect to any Real Property, promptly upon FFC’s receipt of such reports.

(b)If the Designated Environmental Consultant’s good faith estimate, based upon the results of the Phase I environmental studies and other diligence and investigation conducted by the Designated Environmental Consultant, of the dollar amount, if any, that HBI and its Subsidiaries would be required to expend due to a violation of applicable Environmental Laws for all of the HBI properties (the “Environmental Liabilities”) for clean-up and remediation relating to pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, petroleum, petroleum products, and any other materials regulated under the Environmental Laws with respect to HBI’s or its Subsidiaries’ owned or leased real properties (including OREO) or any adjoining properties (the “Estimated Clean-Up Costs,” as further adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.12), is in excess of $100,000 (the “Environmental Liability Threshold”), FFC shall deliver to HBI (not later than ten (10) business days of its receipt of the Designated Environmental Consultant’s good faith estimate) a written notice (an “Environmental Cost Notice”) describing the nature of such Environmental Liabilities and the course of action proposed to be taken by FFC or its Subsidiaries (if it were to become the owner of such properties as a result of the Merger) to remediate or otherwise address the environmental problems and providing an estimate of the out-of-pocket cost of such remediation expected to be incurred (if different from the Estimated Clean-Up Costs). If HBI disagrees with FFC’s estimate of the amount of out-of-pocket costs of such remediation or the course of action proposed by FFC, HBI shall deliver to FFC a written notice of such objection (an “Environmental Cost Objection”) within five (5) business days of HBI’s receipt of the Environmental Cost Notice. No later than five (5) business days following FFC’s receipt of an Environmental Cost Objection, one or more members of senior management of FFC and HBI having authority to resolve the dispute shall meet (in person or by telephone) (an “Environmental Cost Meeting”) and shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to resolve the difference set forth in the Environmental Cost Objection. Regardless of whether the parties reach a resolution of the dispute within two (2) business days of the first such meeting, subsection (c) shall apply.

(c)The Estimated Clean-up Costs shall be deemed to have been established for purposes of this Section 5.11: (i) if FFC does not receive an Environmental Cost Objection, as of the last date that an

Environmental Cost Objection would have been timely under subsection (b) above, or (ii) if an Environmental Cost Objection is delivered to FFC and finally resolved as set forth in subsection (b) hereof, as of the date of such resolution, or (iii) if an Environmental Cost Objection remains unresolved under subsection (b) hereof (in which event the Estimated Clean-Up Costs shall be as set forth in the Environmental Cost Notice), then as of the third business day following the Environmental Cost Meeting. Following the establishment of the Estimated Clean-up Costs, if the Estimated Clean-Up Costs are more than $100,000, then FFC shall have the right to reduce the Merger Consideration by the amount of the Estimated Clean-up Costs above $100,000; provided, however, in no event shall the Merger Consideration be reduced by more than $200,000 pursuant to this Section 5.11(c). In the event that the Estimated Clean-up Costs exceed $300,000, either HBI or FFC may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iv). By way of example, and in no way limiting the foregoing, (i) if the Estimated Clean-up Costs equal $150,000, FFC would have the right to reduce the Merger Consideration by an amount up to $50,000 and neither party would have the right to terminate pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iv), and (ii) if the Estimated Clean-up Costs equal $350,000, FFC would have the right to reduce the Merger Consideration by an amount up to $200,000 and both HBI and FFC would have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iv).

5.12    Governmental Reports and Shareholder Information. Promptly upon its becoming available, HBI shall furnish to FFC one (1) copy of each financial statement, report, notice, or proxy statement sent by HBI to any Governmental Authority or to HBI’s shareholders, and of any order issued by any Governmental Authority in any proceeding to which HBI is a party. For purposes of this Agreement, “Governmental Authority” shall mean any court, board, agency, department, committee, commission, central bank, office or authority of any nature whatsoever (including any political subdivision or instrumentality thereof) for any governmental or quasi-governmental unit (whether federal, state, commonwealth, county, district, municipal, city, parish, provincial or otherwise) now or hereafter in existence (including, without limitation, (i) any state regulatory authority (including without limitation the KDFI), (ii) the SEC, (iii) the FRB, (iv) the FDIC, and (v) any SRO ((i) – (v), collectively “Regulatory Agencies”)).

5.13    Adverse Actions. HBI shall not knowingly take any action that is intended or is reasonably likely to result in (a) any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or becoming untrue in any respect at any time at or prior to the Effective Time, (b) any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VII not being satisfied, (c) a material violation of any provision of this Agreement, (d) a material delay in the consummation of the Merger except, in each case, as may be required by applicable Law or regulation, or (e) any payment to Persons who are disqualified individuals in respect of HBI, its Subsidiaries, or their successors, not being allowable as deductions for federal income tax purposes reason of Section 280G of the Code.

5.14    Employee Benefits and Employees.

(a)Neither the terms of Section 6.02 hereof nor the provision of any employee benefits by FFC or any of its Subsidiaries to employees of HBI or any of its Subsidiaries shall: (a) create any employment contract, agreement, or understanding with or employment rights for, or constitute a commitment or obligation of employment to, any of the officers or employees of HBI or any of its Subsidiaries; or (b) prohibit or restrict FFC or its Subsidiaries, whether before or after the Effective Time, from changing, amending, or terminating any employee benefits provided to its employees from time to time.

Before the date that is sixty (60) days prior to Closing, FFC will use its best efforts to notify HBI of the employees FFC intends to retain after the Effective Time. Prior to the Closing Date, HBI or Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust shall be responsible for timely giving any notices to, and terminating as of the

Effective Time, any employees whose employment will not be continued by FFC, and HBI shall pay any and all amounts which are then due and payable to such employees in connection with the termination of their employment, including, without limitation, all accrued vacation and sick pay.

(b)Before Closing, with HBI’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), FFC may conduct such training and other programs as it may, in its reasonable discretion and at its sole expense, elect to provide for those employees who will be continuing employment with FFC; provided, however, that such training and other programs shall not materially interfere with or prevent the performance of the normal business operations of HBI.

(c)Prior to the Closing, HBI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into stay bonus agreements for stay bonuses in such amounts and with those employees of HBI or its Subsidiaries as designated by FFC on Schedule 5.15(d) of the FFC Disclosure Schedule. The stay bonus agreements shall be in form and substance satisfactory to FFC in its sole discretion.

5.15    Termination of 401(k) Plan.

(a)HBI shall make, or cause to be made, timely contributions to the Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust 401(k) Plan (the “HBI 401(k) Plan”) between the date hereof and the Effective Time consistent with the terms of the HBI 401(k) Plan and past practices, including, without limitation, elective deferral contributions of those HBI 401(k) Plan participants who are employed by HBI or its Subsidiaries.

(b)No later than twenty (20) business days prior to the Closing Date, HBI, pursuant to the provisions of the HBI 401(k) Plan, shall, subject to review and approval by FFC and to consummation of the Merger: (i) adopt, or cause to be adopted, resolutions to terminate the HBI 401(k) Plan, consistent with the provisions of Code Section 401(k)(10), effective as of a date that is not later than the day before the Closing Date (the “Plan Termination Date”) and (ii) amend, or cause to be amended, the HBI 401(k) Plan effective as of a date not later than the Plan Termination Date to freeze participation in and benefit accruals under the HBI 401(k) Plan, to vest fully all accrued benefits and to provide that all benefits under the HBI 401(k) Plan shall be distributed in accordance with plan terms as soon as administratively feasible after the termination date.

(c)Any contributions due to the HBI 401(k) Plan for the period prior to the Plan Termination Date, and not yet paid on the Plan Termination Date, will be contributed, or caused to be contributed by HBI as soon as administratively feasible following the Plan Termination Date.

(d)HBI shall continue, or cause to be continued, in full force and effect, until the Effective Time: (i) the fidelity bond, if any, issued to HBI or a Subsidiary as described in ERISA Section 412; and (ii) the ERISA fiduciary liability insurance policy currently in effect, if any, for the benefit of the covered fiduciaries of the HBI 401(k) Plan.

5.16    Disposition of Welfare Benefit and Sec. 125 Plans.

(a)Any welfare benefit (health, dental/vision, life/AD&D, LTD), Internal Revenue Code Section 125, or “cafeteria,” plans currently sponsored by HBI or Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust shall be terminated as of the Effective Time on terms reasonably acceptable to FFC, unless FFC determines that any such plan shall be continued past the Effective Time. HBI shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to terminate all of HBI’s and any Subsidiary’s group insurance policies before the Effective Time on terms reasonably acceptable to FFC, unless otherwise instructed by FFC.

(b)From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, HBI shall continue to: (i) pay the applicable insurance premiums necessary to continue the benefits under HBI’s welfare benefit plans; (ii) contribute to the cafeteria plan the pre-tax amounts which the cafeteria plan participants elect to defer from compensation; and (iii) pay all eligible claims incurred, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plan, under the cafeteria plan’s health and dependent care flexible spending accounts prior to the Effective Time.

(c)In the event any HBI cafeteria plan is terminated prior to the Closing Date, the balances in any health and dependent care flexible spending accounts thereunder as of the date of termination shall be transferred to the applicable components of the FFC cafeteria plan to the extent permitted under the FFC plan. Benefit and compensation deferral elections in effect at that time shall be continued under the FFC cafeteria plan, subject to subsequent changes as provided in the FFC plan. All benefit payments related to the transferred balances shall be made in accordance with the FFC cafeteria plan.

5.17    Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust Merger. Prior to the Effective Time, HBI shall, and cause Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust to, cooperate with FFC and take such action as reasonably requested by FFC and necessary to merge Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust with and into First Financial Bank as of the Effective Time.

5.18    Cooperation on Conversion of Systems. HBI agrees to commence immediately after the date of this Agreement (and continue until Closing or completed) using its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure an orderly transfer of information, processes, systems, and data to FFC and to otherwise assist FFC in facilitating the conversion of all of HBI’s systems into, or to conform with, FFC’s systems (including cooperating with FFC in the training of HBI’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees on FFC’s systems), so that, as of the Closing, the systems of HBI are readily convertible to FFC’s systems to the fullest extent possible without actually converting them prior to the Closing. HBI and FFC shall meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan for the conversion of HBI’s data processing and related electronic informational systems to those used by FFC, which planning shall include, without limitation: (i) discussion of possible termination by HBI of third-party service provider arrangements effective at or following the Effective Time, including the Data Processing Agreement; (ii) non-renewal of personal property leases and software licenses used by HBI in connection with its systems operations; and (iii) retention of outside consultants and additional employees to assist with the conversion and outsourcing, as appropriate, of proprietary or self-provided system services.

5.19    Installation/Conversion of Equipment. Prior to the Effective Time, at times mutually agreeable to FFC and HBI, FFC may, at FFC’s sole expense, install teller equipment, platform equipment, security equipment, and computers, at the HBI and Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust offices, branches, and ATM locations, and HBI shall cooperate with FFC in connection with such installation; provided, however, that such installations shall not interfere with the normal business activities and operations of HBI or Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust or require material alterations to HBI’s or Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust’s facilities.

5.20    Termination of Contracts. HBI shall cooperate with FFC to determine which contracts, agreements, or arrangements will not be retained by FFC and will be terminated, in addition to terminating the Data Processing Agreement (collectively, the “Terminated Contracts”). HBI shall promptly give notice and take all other appropriate and commercially reasonable actions to terminate the Terminated Contracts and to determine any and all termination costs, including without limitation, early termination fees, penalties, and recaptures of discounts.

5.21    Accuracy of Information Provided to FFC. HBI agrees that the information concerning HBI or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided or to be provided by HBI to FFC for inclusion in any documents filed or to be filed with any regulatory authority or Governmental Authority in connection with

the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will: (a) at the respective times such documents are filed, and, in the case of the proxy statement to be prepared by HBI, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (“Proxy Statement”), when mailed, not be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (b) in the case of the Proxy Statement, at the time of the HBI Shareholders’ Meeting, not be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of any proxy for the meeting in connection with which the Proxy Statement shall be mailed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HBI shall have no responsibility for the truth or accuracy of any information supplied by FFC with respect to FFC or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates contained in the Proxy Statement or in any document submitted to, or other communication with, any Governmental Authority.

ARTICLE VI.

COVENANTS OF FFC

FFC covenants and agrees with HBI and covenants and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to act as follows (and HBI covenants and agrees with FFC as follows):

6.01    Approvals. FFC shall have primary responsibility of the preparation, filing, and costs of all bank regulatory applications required for consummation of the Merger, and FFC shall file such applications as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement. FFC shall provide to HBI and its counsel copies of all applications filed and copies of all material written communications with all state and federal bank regulatory agencies relating to such applications. FFC and HBI shall cooperate fully and use commercially reasonable efforts to procure, upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to each of them, all consents, authorizations, approvals, registrations, and certificates, to complete all filings and applications and to satisfy all other requirements prescribed by law which are necessary for consummation of the Merger on the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement.

6.02    Employee Benefit Plans and Employee Payments.

(a)FFC shall make available to the officers and employees of HBI or any Subsidiary who continue as employees of FFC or any Subsidiary after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”), substantially the same employee benefits as are generally available to all FFC employees, except where different benefits are required by other provisions of this Agreement. As a condition to employment, all Continuing Employees must execute and return to FFC the Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation Agreement utilized by FFC with respect to its or its Subsidiaries’ employees.

(b)FFC and HBI agree to address any issues related to the differences between the vacation and paid time off policies of HBI and any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, any banked paid time) and the vacation and paid time off policies of FFC governing the use of paid time off accrued prior to the Effective Time, and communicate the proposed reconciliation of the policies to the Continuing Employees prior to the Effective Time. Effective as of the later of the Effective Time or the date on which the FFC vacation and paid time off policies are made available to the Continuing Employees, such Continuing Employees will be subject to the terms and conditions of the FFC vacation/paid time off policy in place for similarly situated employees of FFC, with credit given for all prior years of service with HBI or any Subsidiary for purposes of determining vacation/paid time off pay eligibility and the amount of such vacation/paid time off pay.

(c)Continuing Employees will receive credit for prior service with HBI or its Subsidiaries, or their predecessors, for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under the First Financial Corporation Employees’ 401(k) Savings Plan and First Financial Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

(d)To the extent a HBI employee benefit plan is terminated at or prior to the Effective Time, Continuing Employees shall become eligible to participate in FFC’s similar employee benefit plans as of the Effective Time. FFC will use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) avoid subjecting Continuing Employees to any waiting periods or additional pre-existing condition limitations under the health and dental plans of FFC or its Subsidiaries in which they are eligible to participate than they otherwise would have been subject to under the health and dental plans of HBI; and (ii) give credit under the applicable FFC plan for any deductibles and co-insurance payments made by such Continuing Employees under the corresponding HBI plan during the balance of the then current 12-month period of coverage.

(e)To the extent permitted under the terms of any tax-qualified retirement plan maintained by FFC after the Effective Time and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, such plan shall accept “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Code Section 402(c)(4)) of cash amounts and plan loans received from the HBI 401(k) Plan with respect to any Continuing Employees.

(f)FFC may elect to continue to maintain all HBI employee welfare benefit and cafeteria plans currently in effect at the Effective Time until such time as FFC determines, in its sole discretion, to modify or terminate any or all of those plans. Claims incurred under the employee welfare benefit and cafeteria plans prior to plan termination shall be paid in accordance with the applicable plan’s claim submission procedures and deadlines.

(g)Except for any employee receiving a separate change in control, severance or similar payment in connection with the Closing of the Merger, those employees of Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust as of the Effective Time who (i)(A) are still employed by Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust and who First Financial Bank elects not to employ after the Effective Time, or (B) who are Continuing Employees and are terminated other than for cause within six (6) months after the Closing Date; and (ii) sign and deliver a termination and release agreement in a form acceptable to First Financial Bank, which shall at FFC’s sole discretion include typical confidentiality provisions and one-year restrictive covenant provisions relating to non-solicitation of customers and employees of First Financial Bank, shall be entitled to severance pay equal to two (2) weeks of pay, at their base rate of pay in effect at the time of termination, for each full year of continuous service with Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust with a minimum of four (4) weeks and a maximum of twenty-six (26) weeks. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to limit or modify FFC’s or First Financial Bank’s at-will employment policy or any employee’s at will employment status.

(h)Until the Effective Time, HBI or a Subsidiary of HBI, whichever is applicable, shall be liable for all obligations for continued health coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601 through 609 of ERISA (“COBRA”) for eligible employees who incur a qualifying event before the Effective Time. FFC or a FFC Subsidiary, whichever is applicable, shall, after the Effective Time, be liable for (i) all obligations for continued health coverage under COBRA with respect to each qualified beneficiary of HBI or a Subsidiary of HBI who incurs a termination on and after the Effective Time, and (ii) for continued health coverage under COBRA from and after the Effective Time for each qualified beneficiary of HBI or a Subsidiary of HBI who incurs a qualifying event before the Effective Time.

6.03    Adverse Actions. FFC shall not knowingly take any action that is intended or is reasonably likely to result in (a) any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or

becoming untrue in any respect at any time at or prior to the Effective Time, (b) any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VII not being satisfied, or (c) a material violation of any provision of this Agreement.

6.04    D&O Insurance and Indemnification.

(a)For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, FFC agrees that all rights to indemnification (including rights to advancement of expenses) provided for in the respective Certificate/Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of HBI and Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust, or required under any applicable Law, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, will survive the Merger and will not be amended, repealed, or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the present and former directors and officers of HBI and Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.04, FFC shall not be required to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless any Indemnified Party to a greater extent than either HBI or Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust could, as of the date of this Agreement, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless such Indemnified Party, and indemnification shall only be provided to the extent it is permitted by any applicable federal or state Laws.

(b)FFC shall cause the persons serving as officers and directors of HBI and Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust immediately prior to the Effective Time to be covered for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy currently maintained by HBI (the “Existing Policy”) or by a comparable or better policy (the “Replacement Policy”). Prior to the Effective Time, as instructed by FFC, HBI shall cause the applicable broker of record for its Existing Policy and its Financial Institution Bond (or similar policy) to be assigned to FFC’s designee. Such assignments in favor of FFC’s designee shall be executed by HBI with sufficient time to allow FFC and its designee to place the insurance required by this Section. The Existing Policy or Replacement Policy, subject to policy terms and conditions, shall provide coverage with respect to covered acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that FFC shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing Policy (or for any Replacement Policy) in excess of 150% of the annual premium for the current annual term of the Existing Policy (the “Maximum Amount”); and, provided, further, however, that, if FFC is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 6.04(b), FFC shall obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Maximum Amount. FFC’s obligations within this Section 6.04(b) apply solely and exclusively to the Existing Policy and the existing Financial Institution Bond at each policy’s current limits of insurance, as well as its other terms, conditions, exclusions, and annual premiums as of the date of this Agreement, and which must be continuously maintained in force by HBI without interruption, cancellation, or amendment until the Effective Time or FFC’s obligations within this Section shall cease.

(c)The provisions of this Section 6.04 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and personal representatives.

(d)In the event that either FFC or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of FFC shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.04.

(e)The following provisions shall apply to any challenge or litigation brought against HBI, Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust, or their respective employees, officers, and directors with respect to the execution and/or consummation of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or any proxy statement issued in connection with the proposed transactions (“Transaction Litigation”):

(i)At all times before the Closing, HBI shall keep FFC fully informed about the conduct of any Transaction Litigation and shall not settle any such Transaction Litigation without FFC’s advance written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(ii)Should Transaction Litigation continue or be initiated after the Closing, FFC shall have the sole right to control the defense of the Transaction Litigation, including the right to settle any such litigation without consent from any HBI or Xxxxxxx Bank & Trust employees, officers, or directors who are defendants, so long as such settlement does not, with respect to any such defendants, (1) involve an admission of fault or personal liability, (2) impose any legal restrictions on such defendant’s future conduct, or (3) require payment of any amount in settlement.

6.05    Changes and Supplements to FFC Disclosure Schedules. FFC shall promptly supplement, amend, and update, upon the occurrence of any change prior to the Effective Time, and as of the Effective Time, the FFC 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 listed on the FFC 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 FFC contained herein materially incorrect, untrue or misleading. No such supplement, amendment, or update shall have any effect for the purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII or become part of the FFC Disclosure Schedule unless HBI shall have first consented in writing with respect thereof.

6.06    Tax Matters.

(a)Following the Closing, FFC will cause HBI’s current, regularly utilized accounting firm to (i) prepare and file all S corporation federal income tax returns or similar state or local income tax returns that are required to be filed by, or with respect to HBI or any of its Subsidiaries for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns”) in a timely manner so as not to give rise to penalties and interest, and (ii) in a timely manner, furnish tax information to the persons who were HBI’s shareholders prior to the Closing for inclusion in their income tax returns. All Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with HBI’s past custom and practice. Neither FFC nor any of its Subsidiaries shall amend, restate, or correct any Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns or other tax returns of HBI or its Subsidiaries with respect to periods ending on or before the Closing Date if such action would have the effect of increasing the tax liability of any former HBI shareholder.

(b)If FFC or any of its Subsidiaries receives written notice of any proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination, suit, dispute or other action with respect to any of the Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns (a “Tax Claim”), FFC will notify (within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice of any such Tax Claim) a Person designated by HBI to administer and oversee audits, refunds, and other income tax matters for the pre-Closing tax periods (the “Stockholder Representative”) in writing of such Tax Claim. The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to exercise complete control over the handling, disposition, and settlement of any governmental inquiry, examination, or proceeding (a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to any such Tax Claim relating to any of the Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns, provided that the Stockholder Representative shall not settle the Tax Proceeding without the consent of

FFC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. FFC shall cooperate with the Stockholder Representative, as the Stockholder Representative may reasonably request, in any such Tax Proceeding.

(c)All transfer taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be borne and paid by FFC, and FFC shall timely file all necessary tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer taxes. Any income tax refund, credit, or similar benefit (including interest with respect thereto) relating to HBI or any of its Subsidiaries for any tax period ending on or before the Closing Date shall be the property of the persons who were HBI shareholders prior to the Closing and shall be promptly paid or otherwise turned over to them.

(d)Neither FFC, Merger Sub, HBI, nor any Subsidiary of the foregoing, shall make any election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

6.07    Failure to Fulfill Conditions; Cooperation. In the event FFC determines that a condition to its obligation to complete the Merger cannot be fulfilled, it will promptly notify HBI. FFC shall cooperate fully, completely, and promptly with HBI in connection with satisfying all conditions set forth in this Agreement and effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.08    Promissory Note. If HBI does not receive approval by the Regulatory Agencies to pay and discharge, via dividend, the sum owed under that certain promissory note, dated June 30, 2016, as described in Schedule 6.08 of the HBI Disclosure Schedules (the “Note”), then FFC shall promptly pay and discharge the sum then owed under the Note immediately prior to the Effective Time.
