NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby make this Agreement and prescribe the terms and conditions of the merger of MBC with the Merger Sub, the merger of MBC with and into FIC and the Bank with and into First Indiana and the mode of carrying such mergers into effect as follows: 1 SECTION 1 THE MERGERS 1.01.

(c) Name, Officers and Directors. The name of the Surviving Corporation shall be "First Indiana Corporation." Its principal office shall be located at 135 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.

(d) Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. The Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of FIC in existence at the Effective Time shall remain the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time, until such Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws shall be further amended in accordance with applicable law. 2 (e) Effect of the Company Merger. At the Effective Time, the title to all assets, real estate and other property owned by MBC shall vest in the Surviving Corporation as set forth in Indiana Code Section 23-1-40-6, as amended, without reversion or impairment. At the Effective Time, all liabilities of MBC shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation. 1.02. The Bank Merger. (a) General Description. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Bank shall merge with and into and under the Articles of Association of First Indiana (the "Bank Merger" and together with the Company Merger, the "Mergers"). First Indiana (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving Bank") shall survive the Bank Merger and shall continue its corporate existence under the federal banking laws pursuant to the provisions of and with the effect provided in The National Bank Act, as amended. (b) Name, Officers and Directors. The name of the Surviving Bank shall be "First Indiana Bank, National Association." Its principal office shall be located at 135 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.

Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. At FIC's election, the Company Merger may alternatively be structured so that (a) MBC is merged with and into FIC or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FIC or (b) any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FIC is merged with and into MBC; provided, however, that no such change shall (x) alter or change the amount or kind of the Conversion Price or the treatment of the holders of MBC Common Stock or MBC Stock Options (as defined herein), (y) prevent the parties from 3 obtaining the opinions of Bose McKinney & Evans LLP and Krieg DeVault LLP referred to in Sections 10.02(a)(iv) and 10.02(b)(iv), respectively, or (z) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of such an election, the parties agree to execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement in order to reflect such election. SECTION 2 CONSIDERATION 2.01. Consideration. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon and by virtue of the Company Merger becoming effective at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of MBC Common Stock (as defined in Section 4.03(a) hereof) shall be converted into the right to receive a cash amount equal to Seventeen and No/100 Dollars ($17.00) (the "Conversion Price"). Each share of MBC Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is held as treasury stock of MBC or held directly or indirectly by FIC, 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. (b) Each outstanding and then exercisable option to purchase MBC Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of the Conversion Price over the option exercise price. (c) In no event will the total consideration paid by FIC for MBC Common Stock exceed the product of the Conversion Price times the sum of (i) the number of shares of such Common Stock issued on the date hereof (2,108,607), plus (ii) the number of shares of such Common Stock issued after the date hereof upon exercise of any of the 446,007 vested, in-the-money options outstanding on the date hereof under MBC's stock option plans (or, in the case of options converted to rights to receive cash, the amount paid in respect of such rights pursuant to Section 2.01(b)), plus (iii) to the extent permitted under Section 6.19 and subject to Section 6.03(a)(xi) below, the number of shares of such Common Stock issued after the date hereof pursuant to MBC's Employee Equity Ownership Plan. 2.02. Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, (a) holders of MBC Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of MBC, other than the right to receive (1) any dividend or other distribution with respect to such MBC Common Stock with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time and (2) the consideration provided under this Section 2, and (b) holders of MBC Stock Options shall have no further or continuing right to receive MBC Common Stock or any form of consideration other than the consideration provided under this Section 2. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of MBC or the Surviving Corporation of shares of MBC Common Stock, and no attempted or purported exercise of MBC Stock Options shall be effective. 4 2.03. Distribution of Cash. (a) As soon as reasonably practicable but in no event more than ten (10) calendar days after the Effective Time, FIC shall mail to each record holder of any certificate or certificates whose shares of MBC Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Conversion Price, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the MBC certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the MBC certificates to FIC and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as FIC may reasonably specify) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the MBC certificates in exchange for the Conversion Price. (b) Following the Effective Time, payment of the Conversion Price, without interest, shall be made by FIC to each former shareholder of MBC within five (5) business days following delivery to FIC of the shareholder's certificate(s) representing its shares of MBC Common Stock accompanied by a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FIC. (c) Following the Effective Time, stock certificates representing shares of MBC Common Stock held by shareholders of MBC shall be deemed to evidence only the right to receive the Conversion Price, without interest thereon, pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. (d) FIC shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of MBC to establish the persons entitled to receive payment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect to the ownership of shares of MBC Common Stock. (e) With respect to any certificate for shares of MBC Common Stock which has been lost, stolen or destroyed, FIC shall be authorized to pay the Conversion Price to the registered owner of such certificate upon receipt by FIC of an affidavit of lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificate together with an indemnity, both in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FIC, and upon compliance by the MBC shareholder with all other reasonable requirements of FIC in connection with lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificates. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of MBC Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. SECTION 3 DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any holders of MBC Common Stock dissent from the Company Merger and demand dissenters' rights under the IBCL, any issued and outstanding shares of MBC Common Stock held by such dissenting holders shall not be converted as described in Section 2 but shall from and after the Effective Time represent only the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such dissenting holders pursuant to the IBCL; provided, however, that each share of MBC Common Stock outstanding immediately 5 prior to the Effective Time and held by a dissenting holder who shall, after the Effective Time, withdraw his or her demand for dissenters' rights or lose his or her right to exercise dissenters' rights shall have only such rights as are provided under the IBCL. SECTION 4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MBC On or prior to the date hereof, MBC has delivered to FIC a schedule (the "Disclosure Schedule") setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more representations or warranties contained in this Section 4 or to one or more of its covenants contained in Section 6 or which is otherwise disclosed pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that the mere inclusion of an item in the Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by MBC that such item represents a material exception of fact, event or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) as to MBC. For the purpose of this Agreement, and in relation to MBC and the Subsidiaries, a "Material Adverse Effect" means any effect that (i) is material and adverse to the financial condition, operations, business, assets, liabilities or prospects of MBC and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) would materially impair the ability of MBC to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially threaten or materially impede the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, items, individually or in the aggregate, that have a negative financial effect of $150,000 or more shall be deemed to have a Material Adverse Effect. Material Adverse Effect shall not, however, be deemed to include the impact of (a) changes in banking and similar laws of general applicability or interpretations thereof by courts or governmental authorities, (b) changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or regulatory accounting requirements applicable to banks and their holding companies generally, (c) actions taken or to be taken by MBC or its Subsidiaries in accordance with the specific terms of this Agreement or based upon the written request of FIC pursuant to this Agreement, in each case in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, (d) fees and expenses associated with the Mergers, including legal, accounting, investment banking and any expenses relating to litigation that may be filed to contest the Mergers, (e) acts of terrorism or war, (f) effects of any action taken with the prior written consent of FIC, and (g) changes in general levels of interest rates or conditions or circumstances that affect the banking industry, generally. No representation or warranty of MBC and the Bank contained in Sections 4.02(b)(iii), (iv) and (v) and 4.02(c), 4.05(a), 4.08(b) and 4.08(d), 4.10(b), 4.17(c), and 4.23 shall be deemed untrue, incomplete or incorrect, and neither MBC nor the Bank shall be deemed to have breached any such specified representation or warranty, as a consequence of the existence of any fact, event or circumstance unless such fact, circumstance or event, individually or taken together with all other facts, events or circumstances inconsistent with any representation or warranty contained in this Section 4, has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 6 Accordingly, MBC and Bank hereby represent and warrant to FIC, as follows: 4.01.

(c) MB Realty is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Indiana.

As of the date hereof, MBC is not aware of any reason why the approvals set forth in Section 8.02(d) will not be received in a timely manner and without the imposition of a condition, restriction or requirement of the type described in Section 8.02(d). This Agreement, and its execution and delivery by MBC, has been duly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of MBC and, assuming due execution and delivery by FIC, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of MBC, subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.02 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. 7 (b) Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution of this Agreement nor consummation of the Mergers contemplated hereby: (i) conflicts with or violates the organizational documents of either MBC or the Bank; (ii) conflicts with or violates any local, state, federal or foreign law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation (provided that the approvals of or filings with applicable government regulatory agencies or authorities required for consummation of the Mergers are obtained) or any court or administrative judgment, order, injunction, writ or decree; (iii) conflicts with, results in a breach of or constitutes a default under any note, bond, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, license, lease, contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment or other instrument to which MBC or either Subsidiary is a party or by which MBC or either Subsidiary is subject or bound; (iv) results in the creation of or gives any person, corporation or entity the right to create any lien, charge, claim, encumbrance or security interest, or results in the creation of any other rights or claims of any other party (other than FIC and First Indiana) or any other adverse interest, upon any right, property or asset of MBC or either Subsidiary; or (v) terminates or gives any person, corporation or entity the right to terminate, accelerate, amend, modify or refuse to perform under any note, bond, indenture, mortgage, agreement, contract, lease, license, arrangement, deed of trust, commitment or other instrument to which MBC or either Subsidiary is bound or with respect to which MBC or either Subsidiary is to perform any duties or obligations or receive any rights or benefits. (c) Other than in connection or in compliance with the provisions of the applicable federal and state banking, securities, 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 agency or body is necessary for consummation of the Mergers by MBC or any Subsidiary. (d) MBC has received an oral opinion of Hovde Financial, LLC, to the effect that, as of the date of this Agreement, the Conversion Price to be received in the Company Merger by the shareholders of MBC is fair to the shareholders of MBC from a financial point of view. 4.03.

An additional 446,007 shares of MBC Common Stock are subject to issuance upon the exercise of options (the "Stock Options") granted under the 1994 Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan and the 1994 Directors Stock Option Plan (the "MBC Stock Option Plans"). MBC has no capital stock authorized, issued or outstanding other than as described in this Section 4.03(a) and has no intention or obligation to authorize or issue any other capital stock or any additional shares of MBC Common Stock except upon the exercise of Stock 8 Options.

Such issued and outstanding shares of MB Realty Common Stock have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action of MB Realty, are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and have not been issued in violation of any pre-emptive rights of any present or former MB Realty shareholder. All of the issued and outstanding shares of MB Realty Common Stock are owned by the Bank free and clear of all liens, pledges, charges, claims, encumbrances, restrictions, security interests, options and pre-emptive rights and of all other rights or claims of any other person, corporation or entity with respect thereto. MB Realty has no capital stock authorized, issued or outstanding other than as described in this Section 4.03(c) and has no intention or obligation to authorize or issue any other capital stock or any additional shares of MB Realty Common Stock.

To the knowledge of MBC and the Bank, there are no voting trusts, voting arrangements, buy-sell agreements or similar arrangements affecting the capital stock of either of them or of MB Realty.

For the purpose of this Agreement, and in relation to FIC and the FIC Subsidiaries, a "Material Adverse Effect" means any effect that (i) is material and adverse to the financial condition, operations, business, assets, liabilities or prospects of FIC and the FIC Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) would materially impair the ability of FIC to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially threaten or materially impede the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, items, individually or in the aggregate, that have a negative financial effect of $2,700,000 or more shall be deemed to have a Material Adverse Effect. Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include the impact of (a) changes in banking and similar laws of general 21 applicability or interpretations thereof by courts or governmental authorities, (b) changes in generally accepted accounting principles or regulatory accounting requirements applicable to banks and 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 generally accepted accounting principles, (d) fees and expenses associated with the Mergers, including legal, accounting, investment banking and any expenses relating to litigation that may be filed to contest the Mergers and (e) acts of terrorism or war, (f) effects of any action taken with the prior written consent of FIC, (g) changes in general level of interest rate or conditions or circumstances that affect the banking industry, generally. No representation or warranty of FIC or First Indiana contained in Sections 5.02(b)(iii), (iv) and (v), 5.04 and 5.08(a) shall be deemed untrue, incomplete or incorrect, and neither FIC nor First Indiana shall be deemed to have breached any such specified representation or warranty, as a consequence of the existence of any fact, event or circumstance unless such fact, circumstance or event, individually or taken together with all other facts, events or circumstances inconsistent with any representation or warranty contained in this Section 5, has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Accordingly, FIC and First Indiana hereby represent and warrant to MBC, as follows: 5.01. Organization and Authority.

FIC shall not use any such information obtained pursuant to this Agreement for any purpose unrelated to the Mergers. Any confidential information or trade secrets received by FIC or its representatives or agents in the course of such examination (whether conducted prior to or after the date of this Agreement) shall 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 FIC or, at MBC's request, returned to MBC in the event this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 9 hereof.

Employee Benefits. Neither the terms of Section 7.02 hereof, nor the provision of any employee benefits by FIC or any of its subsidiaries to employees of MBC or either 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 MBC; or (b) prohibit or restrict FIC or the FIC Subsidiaries, whether before or after the Effective Time, from changing, amending or terminating any employee benefits provided to its employees from time to time. 6.12.

FIC shall receive from MBC evidence that the directors of MBC and the Subsidiaries have adopted such resolutions (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of FIC), as of the day immediately preceding the day that includes the Effective Time but contingent on the Closing occurring and contingent on receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS as to the MBC Thrift Plan's status as a qualified plan at its termination. The MBC Thrift Plan shall be terminated and all benefits thereunder distributed in accordance with the provisions of its plan documents in effect as of the Effective Time. From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, MBC may continue to make matching contributions to the MBC Thrift Plan so long as such contributions are made in cash and are comparable in amount to its past contributions to such plan. (b) Participation in Merger Transaction. In connection with the Mergers, MBC shall take all actions necessary to assist the fiduciaries of the MBC Thrift Plan in taking the following actions: 33 (i) Follow its written, confidential pass through voting procedure pursuant to which the participants under the MBC Thrift Plan and their beneficiaries shall direct the Trustee under the MBC Thrift Plan to vote the shares of MBC Common Stock allocated to their MBC Thrift Plan accounts with respect to the Company Merger. (ii) Provide the MBC Thrift Plan participants and their beneficiaries with a written notice regarding the existence of and provisions for such confidential pass through voting procedures, as well as the same written materials to be provided to the shareholders of MBC in connection with the Company Merger. (iii) Obtain a written opinion from a qualified, independent financial advisor to the Trustee and the Benefits Committee of the MBC Thrift Plan to the effect that the Conversion Price to be received by the MBC Thrift Plan in exchange for its shares of MBC Common Stock will constitute "adequate consideration" as defined in Section 3(18) of ERISA, and that the terms and conditions of the Company Merger transaction, as they apply to the MBC Thrift Plan, are fair to the MBC Thrift Plan and its participants from a financial point of view, with the cost of such opinion to be paid by MBC, provided such cost shall be reasonable and in no event shall exceed an amount equal to $5,000. (iv) Take any and all additional actions relating to the MBC Thrift Plan necessary to satisfy the requirements of ERISA applicable to the fiduciaries thereof in connection with the Mergers. 6.13. Group Health Plan. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, MBC and its Subsidiaries shall continue to fund all expenses of the MBC Group Health Plan ("MBC Health Plan"), including but not limited to, benefits, insurance premiums and administrative fees, attributable to claims incurred on or prior to the Effective Time. If FIC decides that it wants to terminate the MBC Health Plan at or shortly after the Effective Time and thereafter to cover continuing employees under its own group health plan, MBC and its Subsidiaries shall take such action in respect of the MBC Health Plan prior to the Effective Time as FIC reasonably may request so that it will be able to effect such termination and transfer of coverage in a prompt and efficient manner. 6.14. Long Term Disability Plan. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, MBC and its Subsidiaries shall continue to pay the insurance premiums necessary to continue the benefits provided under the MBC Long Term Disability Plan ("MBC LTD Plan"). 6.15.

From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, MBC and its Subsidiaries shall continue to contribute to the MBC Section 125 Plan ("MBC Cafeteria Plan") the pre-tax amounts which the MBC Cafeteria Plan participants elect to defer from compensation in order to pay the employee portion of the cost of coverage under the MBC Health Plan. If FIC decides that it wants to terminate the MBC Cafeteria Plan at or shortly after the Effective Time and thereafter to cover continuing employees under its own cafeteria plan, MBC and its Subsidiaries shall take such action in respect of the MBC Cafeteria Plan prior to the Effective Time as FIC reasonably may request so that it will be able to effect such termination and transfer of coverage in a prompt and efficient manner. 34 6.16. MBC Group Life Plan. From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, MBC and the Subsidiaries shall continue to pay the insurance premiums necessary to continue the benefits provided by the MBC Group Term Life Insurance Plan ("MBC Group Life Plan") through the end of the calendar month that includes the Effective Time. If FIC decides that it wants to terminate the MBC Group Life Plan at or shortly after the close of the calendar month that includes the Effective Time, MBC and its Subsidiaries shall take such action in respect of the MBC Group Life Plan prior to the Effective Time as FIC reasonably may request so that it will be able to effect such termination in a prompt and efficient manner. 6.17. Termination of MBC SERP. The MBC Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("MBC SERP") and all participation agreements in effect thereunder shall be terminated, effective as of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Effective Time occurs. No participant under the MBC SERP shall accrue any benefits thereunder attributable to periods after December 31, 2002. Any matching contributions required to be made to the MBC SERP after the date hereof shall be made in cash. The Board of Directors of MBC shall, prior to the SERP Termination Date, amend such plan to provide for its termination and to provide that the accumulated benefit obligations in the MBC SERP shall, at the Effective Time, be distributed to participants in a single sum in cash. 6.18. Termination of MBC Target Benefit Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of MBC shall amend the MBC Target Benefit Plan ("Target Plan"), conditional upon the consummation of the Mergers, to provide for the termination of such plan effective as of the Effective Time and for the forfeiture of any benefits previously accrued thereunder. The consulting agreement provided for in Section 6.25 below includes a waiver by Ike G. Batalis of his benefits under the Target Plan. Within 30 days after the date hereof, MBC shall obtain written releases and consents from any other participants of the Target Plan who have accrued or will accrue benefits thereunder prior to the Effective Time wherein such participants consent to such forfeiture. In the cases of Charles V. Turean, Gregory J. Murray, and Andrew E. Illyes, such consents, if required, shall be in consideration of the amounts payable to them pursuant to Section 6.23 below. 6.19. Termination of MBC Employee Equity Ownership Plan. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of MBC shall amend the MBC Employee Equity Ownership Plan ("Equity Plan"), conditional upon consummation of the Mergers, to provide for the termination of such Equity Plan, effective as of the day preceding the day of the Effective Time, and for the grant of awards for any period between December 31, 2002 and the Effective Time, as set forth in (i) and (ii) below: (i) If the Effective Time occurs on or before February 10, 2003, no awards or related cash payments will be made under the Equity Plan in respect of service occurring after December 31, 2002. (ii) If the Effective Time occurs after February 10, 2003, awards and related cash payments will be made under the Equity Plan in respect of each one-half month of service completed after December 31, 2002 and prior to the Effective Time. Thus, Equity Plan 35 participants who remain full time employees until the Effective Time will receive, in respect of their service after December 31, 2002 two shares of MBC Common Stock if the Effective Time occurs after February 10, 2003 and before February 15, 2003, three shares of MBC Common Stock if the Effective Time occurs after February 14, 2003 and before February 28, 2003, and four shares of MBC Common Stock if the Effective Time occurs on February 28, 2003, in each case with a related cash payment. (b) The benefit of each participant under the Equity Plan shall be distributed as soon as practicable after the termination of the Equity Plan but in any case prior to the Effective Time. 6.20. Termination of MBC Directors' Retirement Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of MBC shall amend the MBC Directors' Retirement Plan ("MBC Directors' Plan"), conditional upon the consummation of the Mergers: to provide for the termination of the MBC Directors' Plan, effective as of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Effective Time occurs, and for the distribution to each participant, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, in a single sum in cash, his vested accrued benefit as of the date of such termination, in the respective amounts for each participant set forth in MBC's Disclosure Schedule. 6.21. MBC Stock Option Plans. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of MBC shall amend the MBC Option Plans, conditional upon the consummation of the Mergers, to provide for the following: (a) effective as of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Effective Time occurs, all unexercised options and their related stock appreciation rights ("SARs") shall be surrendered by the optionees for a single sum cash payment from MBC equal to the difference between the exercise price of each option and related SAR outstanding on such date and the Conversion Price, treating each option and SAR as a single unit; and (b) effective as of the Effective Time, all MBC Option Plans shall be terminated. MBC shall take all actions necessary to amend all option agreements executed under the MBC Option Plans to provide for the disposition of options and their related SARs as specified in the preceding sentence. 6.22. Elimination of Gross-Up Obligations. To the extent any of MBC and its Subsidiaries are obligated, under the terms of any agreement, plan or arrangement (whether or not identified in the Disclosure Schedule), to reimburse any individual for, or to pay on behalf of any individual, any excise tax imposed on such individual pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any federal, state or local income taxes payable by such individual in respect of payments by any of MBC and its Subsidiaries to such individual, MBC shall eliminate such obligation prior to the Effective Time or, if it cannot do so unilaterally, obtain from such individual, within 30 days from the date hereof, a written release thereof (which release may be conditional upon the consummation of the Mergers). 6.23. Employment Agreements. (a) Within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, MBC shall have obtained signed agreements and releases (in a form previously approved by FIC) from Charles V. Turean, Gregory J. Murray, and Andrew E.

(b) In addition to the lump sum cash severance amounts payable to them under Section 6.23(a), but subject to Sections 6.12, 6.17 and 6.22 above, Charles V. Turean, Gregory J. Murray, and Andrew E. Illyes shall be entitled to receive the nonforfeitable accrued benefits payable to them under the MBC Thrift Plan and the MBC SERP in respect of their service prior to the Effective Time. 6.24. Change of Control Payments. In consideration of their services to MetroBank prior to the Effective Date, change of control payments shall be made on the Effective Date to those specified officers of MetroBank who do not currently have employment agreements with MetroBank in the respective amounts for each such officer set forth in MBC's Disclosure Schedule. Such payments shall be conditional upon the recipient officer's continued employment by MetroBank until the Effective Time but shall not be conditional on the recipient officer's termination of employment as of or following the Effective Time. 6.25. Batalis Consulting Agreement. (a) Contemporaneous with the execution of this Agreement, Ike G. Batalis and First Indiana shall have executed the Consulting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, wherein Mr. Batalis agrees, contingent upon consummation of the Bank Merger, to terminate his employment agreement as of the Effective Time, to waive his rights to further payments and benefits under said employment agreement (including payments under sections 4(c)(ii) and 4(e) thereof), as well as any payments under MBC's Incentive Plan and MBC's Target Plan, and to accept in lieu of all such payments and benefits, in respect of his services prior to the Effective Time, (i) a lump sum cash amount, as calculated and set forth in MBC's Disclosure Schedule, and payable at the Effective Time, relating to the benefit to which he would be entitled under MBC's Target Plan had it been continued in effect and had he terminated service voluntarily on December 31, 2002 otherwise than in connection with a change of control, plus (ii) a lump sum cash severance payment, payable at the Effective Time, in the amount calculated and set forth in MBC's Disclosure Schedule. (b) In addition to the lump sum amounts payable to him under Section 6.25(a), but subject to Sections 6.12, 6.17 and 6.22 above, Ike G. Batalis shall be entitled to receive the nonforfeitable accrued benefits payable to him under the MBC Thrift Plan and the MBC SERP in respect of his service prior to the Effective Time. 6.26. Severance Pay. MBC and its Subsidiaries may adopt a severance pay plan (in a form previously approved by FIC) for those of their employees, other than Ike G. Batalis, Charles V. Turean, Gregory J. Murray, or Andrew E. Illyes, who remain employed by them until the last business day prior to the day that includes the Effective Time, pursuant to which any such employee whose employment First Indiana does not offer to continue after the Effective 37 Time or whose employment is terminated by First Indiana without cause within one year after the Effective Time shall be entitled to a lump sum severance payment equal to the product of (i) one week's base pay times (ii) the number of such employee's full years of service with MBC and its Subsidiaries completed prior to the Effective Time. 6.27. Disposition of Incentive Plan. The amount that otherwise would be distributable under MBC's Incentive Plan by reason of the Mergers shall be reduced by eliminating the seventy-five percent (75%) portion thereof that otherwise would be distributable to Ike G. Batalis. The amount otherwise distributable under MBC's Incentive Plan and the amount of the reduction provided for in this section have been computed and are set forth in MBC's Disclosure Schedule. No portion of the remaining amount distributable under MBC's Incentive Plan shall be allocated to Ike G. Batalis. Any portion of such remaining amount allocated to Charles V. Turean, Gregory J. Murray, or Andrew E. Illyes shall be limited to the amounts calculated and set forth for each in MBC's Disclosure Schedule. 6.28. Reports. Promptly upon its becoming available, MBC shall furnish to FIC one (1) copy of each financial statement, report, notice, or proxy statement sent by MBC to its shareholders generally and of each regular or periodic report, registration statement or prospectus filed by MBC with the SEC or any successor agency, and of any order issued by any Governmental Authority in any proceeding to which MBC is a party. For purposes of this provision, "Governmental Authority" shall mean any government (or any political subdivision or jurisdiction thereof), court, bureau, agency or other governmental entity having or asserting jurisdiction over MBC, the Subsidiaries of the respective business, operations or properties of MBC or any of the Subsidiaries. 6.29. Adverse Actions. MBC shall not knowingly take any action or inaction that is intended or is reasonably likely to result in (i) any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or becoming untrue, subject to the standard set out in the third paragraph of Section 4, in any respect at any time at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any of the conditions to the Mergers set forth in Section 8 not being satisfied, (iii) a material violation of any provision of this Agreement or (iv) a delay in the consummation of the Mergers except, in each case, as may be required by applicable law or regulation. SECTION 7 COVENANTS OF FIC AND FIRST INDIANA FIC and First Indiana covenant and agree with MBC and the Bank, as follows: 7.01. Approvals. FIC shall have primary responsibility for the preparation, filing and costs of all bank holding company and bank regulatory applications required for consummation of the Mergers. FIC shall file all bank holding company and bank regulatory applications as soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement. FIC shall provide to MBC's legal counsel a reasonable opportunity to review such applications prior to their filing and shall provide to MBC's legal 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. 38 FIC shall proceed expeditiously, cooperate fully and use its best efforts to procure, upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to FIC, 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 Mergers on the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement at the earliest possible reasonable date. 7.02. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) As of, or as soon as administratively possible following the Effective Time, FIC and the FIC Subsidiaries will make available to the employees of MBC and its Subsidiaries who continue as employees of FIC or any of the FIC Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, subject to Sections 7.02(b) through 7.02(d) hereof, substantially the same employee benefits on substantially the same terms and conditions as FIC and the FIC Subsidiaries offer to other similarly situated officers and employees. Until such time as such employees of MBC and its Subsidiaries become covered by the FIC welfare benefit plans, they shall remain covered by the corresponding MBC welfare benefit plans, which FIC and the FIC Subsidiaries shall assume and maintain as successor employers. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.11 through 6.27, and subject to any modifications required to be made pursuant to Section 8.01(h), FIC will honor (i) all employee benefit obligations of MBC and its Subsidiaries that as of the Effective Time are accrued and nonforfeitable (including, without limitation, any benefits payable under the MBC Health Plan on claims that are pending or made after the Effective Time in respect of covered expenses incurred prior to the Effective Time and any benefits payable under the MBC LTD Plan in respect of covered MBC employees who become disabled after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) all employment or severance agreements of MBC and its Subsidiaries that are identified and described in the Disclosure Schedule or provided for in this Agreement. (b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) hereof, years of service (as defined in the applicable FIC plan) of an officer or employee of MBC or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time shall be credited, effective as of the date on which such officer or employee becomes covered by a particular FIC plan or benefit, under Section 7.02(a) hereof: (i) for purposes of eligibility under FIC's employee welfare benefit plans and other fringe benefit programs; (ii) for purposes of eligibility and vesting, but not for purposes of benefit accrual or contributions, under the FIC Defined Benefit Pension Plan ("FIC Pension Plan"), the FIC 401(k) Plan, and the FIC Stock Purchase Plan. Those officers and employees of MBC and its Subsidiaries who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of the FIC Pension Plan, FIC 401(k) Plan, and FIC Stock Purchase Plan, based on their age and years of service to any of MBC and its Subsidiaries, shall become participants thereunder at the Effective Time. Those officers or employees who do not meet the eligibility requirements of the FIC Pension Plan, FIC 401(k) Plan or Stock Purchase Plan at such times shall become participants thereunder on the first plan entry date under the FIC Pension Plan, FIC 401(k) Plan or Stock Purchase Plan, as the case may be, which coincides with or next follows the date on which such eligibility requirements are satisfied. (c) In accordance with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") and the terms of the FIC group health plan, officers and 39 employees of any of MBC and its Subsidiaries who become participants in the FIC group health plan will be given "creditable coverage" credit for their coverage under the MBC Group Health Plan under the FIC group health plan's pre-existing condition limitation provisions. In addition, if a condition was not a "pre-existing condition" for a participant in the MBC Group Health Plan, it shall not be considered to be a pre-existing condition under the FIC group health plan. (d) Neither the terms of this Section 7.02 nor the provision of any employee benefits by FIC or any of the FIC Subsidiaries to employees of MBC or any of its Subsidiaries shall: (i) 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 MBC or the either Subsidiary; or (ii) prohibit or restrict FIC or the FIC Subsidiaries, whether before or after the Effective Time, from changing, amending or terminating any employee benefits provided to its employees from time to time. (e) FIC shall assure that the members of the MBC Benefits Committee and the directors and officers of MBC shall continue to have fiduciary insurance coverage for a period of three (3) years following the Effective Time for their activities in respect to MBC's Compensation Plans prior to the Mergers. (f) FIC and First Indiana shall assume the obligations of MBC and its Subsidiaries under the severance pay plan adopted by MBC and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.26 above. (g) For purposes of this Section 7.02, employees of MBC and its Subsidiaries whose employment is terminated by FIC and the FIC Subsidiaries within one week after the day that includes the Effective Time shall not be considered employees of MBC and its Subsidiaries who continue as employees of FIC or any of the FIC Subsidiaries after the Effective Time. Such employees shall be entitled to receive the same benefits under the Compensation Plans of MBC and its Subsidiaries as employees of MBC and its Subsidiaries whose employment is terminated as of the Effective Time but shall not be eligible to commence participation in any of the employee benefit plans of FIC and the FIC Subsidiaries. 7.03. Press Releases. Except as required by law, FIC shall not issue any news or press releases or make any other public announcements or disclosures relating primarily to MBC with respect to the Mergers without the prior consent of MBC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 7.04. Indemnification and D&O Insurance. (a) For six years after the Effective Time, FIC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of MBC and its Subsidiaries against all losses, expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, damages or liabilities arising out of their actions or omissions in such capacities occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the full extent then permitted under applicable federal and state law and by MBC's Articles of Incorporation as in 40 effect on the date hereof, including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in the defense of any action or suit. (b) FIC shall use its best efforts to maintain in effect for not less than three (3) years from the Effective Time at premiums not greater than 125% of the premiums currently paid by MBC the policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance most recently maintained by MBC which covers and insures such directors and officers for past actions or omissions; provided, however, that FIC may substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers for substantially similar coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous for so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time. 7.05. Adverse Actions. FIC shall not knowingly take any action or inaction that is intended or is reasonably likely to result in (i) any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or becoming untrue, subject to the standard set out in the third paragraph to Section 5, in any respect at any time at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any of the conditions to the Mergers set forth in Section 8 not being satisfied, (iii) a material violation of any provision of this Agreement or (iv) a delay in the consummation of the Mergers except, in each case, as may be required by applicable law or regulation. 7.06. Regulatory CapitalSubject to Sections 7.01 and 8.01(d), FIC shall obtain financing for the Mergers in a manner necessary to achieve regulatory capital levels and ratios on a proforma basis as reasonably may be required by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. 7.07. Sole Shareholder Approval. FIC as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub shall approve and adopt this Agreement as required by applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation of Merger Sub. FIC as the sole shareholder of First Indiana shall approve and adopt this Agreement as required by applicable law and the Articles of Association of First Indiana.

The obligation of FIC, First Indiana and Merger Sub to consummate the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction and fulfillment of each of the following conditions on or prior to the Effective Time, unless waived in writing by FIC: (a) Representations and Warranties at Effective Time. Each of the representations and warranties of MBC with respect to itself and the Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement shall, subject to the standard set out in the second paragraph of Section 4, be true and correct at and as of the Effective Time as though such representations and warranties had been made or given on and as of the Effective Time. 41 (b) Covenants. Each of the covenants and agreements of MBC with respect to itself and the Subsidiaries shall have been fulfilled or complied with from the date of this Agreement through and as of the Effective Time.

FIC shall have received from MBC at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) the items and documents, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to FIC, set forth in Section 10.02(b) hereof. (d) Regulatory Approvals. All regulatory approvals required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall have been obtained and shall remain in full force and effect and all statutory waiting periods in respect thereof shall have expired and no such approvals shall contain any conditions, restrictions or requirements which the board of directors of FIC reasonably determines in good faith would (i) following the Effective Time, have a Material Adverse Effect on FIC or (ii) reduce the benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby to such a degree that FIC would not have entered into this Agreement had such conditions, restrictions or requirements been known at the date hereof. (e) Shareholder Approval. The shareholders of MBC shall have approved and adopted this Agreement as required by applicable law and its Articles of Incorporation, and shareholders owning no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of MBC shall have exercised a right to dissent from the Company Merger. MBC as the sole shareholder of the Bank shall have approved and adopted this Agreement as required by applicable law and the Bank's Articles of Incorporation. (f) Officers' Certificate. MBC shall have delivered to FIC a certificate signed by its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, dated as of the Effective Time, certifying: (i) to the effect set out in Section 8.01(a), that the representations and warranties of MBC and the Bank contained in Section 4 hereof shall be true, accurate and correct at and as of the Effective Time; (ii) that all the covenants of MBC and the Bank have been complied with from the date of this Agreement through and as of the Effective Time; and (iii) that MBC and the Bank have satisfied and fully complied with all conditions necessary to make this Agreement effective as to MBC and the Bank. (g) Closing Book Value. The Closing Book Value (as defined below) of MCB at the end of the month prior to the Effective Time of the Company Merger (excluding any reduction which might occur as a result of payments made by MCB to Hovde Financial, LLC pursuant to the terms of the agreement attached to Section 4.21 of the Disclosure Schedule and any reduction which might occur as a result of reasonable expenses or restructuring charges relating to the Mergers) shall not be less than $15,342,000. As used in the preceding sentence, the term "Closing Book Value" shall mean the amount of the shareholders' equity of MCB as of the end of the month immediately preceding the Effective Time of the Company Merger, determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, less the amount of any increase in the shareholders' equity of MCB resulting from or attributable to the sale of securities held on and sold after the date of this Agreement or any transactions or accounting adjustments not in the ordinary course of business effected or completed after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the condition in this 42 Section 8.01(g) is not met, FIC and First Indiana shall still be obligated to proceed with the Mergers (assuming all other conditions precedent to such obligation are satisfied), if MBC agrees to a reduction in the Conversion Price which reduces the aggregate consideration paid by FIC for the MBC Common Stock by the amount by which the Closing Book Value falls below $15,342,000.

The foregoing requirement of such KPMG letter shall be deemed to have been satisfied unless, prior to the date of the mailing of the proxy statement to the shareholders of MBC (which shall not occur until at least 50 days after the date of this Agreement), FIC notifies MBC in writing that KPMG has failed or refused so to opine and identifies in such writing each payment or portion thereof as to which KPMG fails or refuses so to opine. In that event, MBC and its Subsidiaries shall have the opportunity to reduce or restructure the subject payments (with the consent of the affected disqualified individuals, if necessary) so as to satisfy the requirement for the issuance of such written opinion of KPMG. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the satisfaction of the conditions in this Section 8.01(i) is subject to the accuracy (in all respects material to such KPMG opinion) of such data and estimates provided by MBC.

MBC. The obligation of MBC and the Bank to consummate the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction and fulfillment of each of the following conditions on or prior to the Effective Time, unless waived in writing by MBC: (a) Representations and Warranties at Effective Time.
