AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of October 4, 2017 (this "Agreement"), by and between MutualFirst Financial, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("MutualFirst"), and Universal Bancorp, an Indiana corporation ("Universal", and together with MutualFirst, the "Parties").

RECITALS

A. The Boards of Directors of the Parties have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their shareholders to consummate the business combination transaction provided for in this Agreement in which Universal will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, merge with and into MutualFirst (the "Merger"), with MutualFirst as the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the "Surviving Company").

B. As a condition to the willingness of MutualFirst to enter into this Agreement, all of the directors of Universal have entered into voting agreements (each a "Voting Agreement"), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, dated as of the date hereof, with MutualFirst.

C. As a condition to the willingness of MutualFirst to enter into this Agreement, certain of the officers of BloomBank, the wholly owned Indiana chartered bank subsidiary of Universal, have entered into agreements with MutualFirst (each an "Officer's Agreement"), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, dated as of the date hereof but effective upon consummation of the Merger.

E. The Parties intend the Merger to be treated as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and intend for this Agreement to constitute a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

F. The Parties desire to make certain covenants, representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with general corporation law of the states of incorporation of MutualFirst and Universal (the "General Corporation Law"), at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), Universal shall merge with and into MutualFirst. MutualFirst shall be the Surviving Company in the Merger and shall continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. As of the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Universal shall cease.

(b) Subject to the consent of Universal, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, MutualFirst may at any time change the method of effecting the combination (including by providing for the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of MutualFirst with Universal) if and to the extent requested by MutualFirst; provided, however, that no such change or amendment shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 1.4(b)) to be received by the shareholders of Universal, (ii) adversely affect the tax consequences of the Merger to the shareholders of Universal or the tax treatment of either party pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) impede or materially delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

1.2 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, simultaneously with the Closing (as defined in Section 9.1), the Parties shall execute, and MutualFirst shall cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Maryland (the "Secretary of State"), articles of merger and a short form plan of merger as required (collectively the "Articles of Merger"). The Merger shall become effective at such time as designated in the Articles of Merger (the "Effective Time").

1.3 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland.

1.4 Conversion of Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Universal, MutualFirst or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) MutualFirst Common Stock. Each share of common stock, $.01 par value, of MutualFirst ("MutualFirst Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, $.01 par value, of the Surviving Company.

(b) Universal Common Stock. Subject to Sections 1.4(c) and 1.4(d), each share of common stock, no par value, of Universal ("Universal Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including Trust Account Common Shares and DPC Common Shares (as such terms are defined in Section 1.4(c)), but excluding any Cancelled Shares (as defined Section 1.4(c)) and Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.4(d)), shall be converted, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article II, into the right to receive (i) 15.600 shares of MutualFirst Common Stock (subject to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 1.4(e) and 8.1(h))(the "Exchange Ratio") (the "Per Share Stock Consideration"), plus (ii), $250 in cash without interest (the "Per Share Cash Consideration" and together, the "Merger Consideration"). The aggregate number of shares of Universal Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not be greater than 75,996 shares of Universal Common Stock, which is the number of shares issued and outstanding on the date hereof. All of the shares of Universal Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger

Consideration pursuant to this Article I shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate previously representing any such shares of Universal Common Stock (each, an "Existing Certificate"), (it being understood that any reference to an "Existing Certificate" shall be deemed, as appropriate, to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of Universal Common Stock, and it being further understood that provisions herein relating to Existing Certificates shall be interpreted in a manner that appropriately accounts for book-entry shares, including that, in lieu of delivery of an Existing Certificate and a letter of transmittal as specified herein, shares held in book-entry form may be transferred by means of an "agent's message" to the Exchange Agent or such other similar evidence of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration including any cash in lieu of a fractional share interest into which the shares of Universal Common Stock represented by such Existing Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 1.4 and Section 2.3(f), as well as any dividends as provided in Section 2.3(c).

(c) Cancelled Shares. Shares of Universal Common Stock that are owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by Universal or MutualFirst (other than shares of Universal Common Stock held in trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity, that are beneficially owned by third parties (any such shares, "Trust Account Common Shares") and other than shares of Universal Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, by Universal or MutualFirst in respect of a debt previously contracted (any such shares, "DPC Common Shares") shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no stock of MutualFirst, cash or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (any such shares, the "Cancelled Shares").

(d) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all shares of Universal Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a shareholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who exercises dissenters' rights when and in the manner required under the General Corporation Law of the state of incorporation of Universal shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (the "Dissenting Shares"), but instead such holder shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted with respect to the payment of the fair value of such shares under the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the state of incorporation of Universal (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided for pursuant to the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law and this Section 1.4(d)), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to demand or receive the fair value of such shares of Universal Common Stock under the applicable General Corporation Law. If any shareholder dissenting pursuant to the General Corporation Law and this Section 1.4(d) shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such holder's shares of Universal Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such share of Universal Common Stock, in accordance with Section 1.4(b), without any interest thereon. Universal shall give MutualFirst (i) prompt notice of any written notices to exercise dissenters' rights in respect of any shares of Universal Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such notices and any other instruments served pursuant to the General Corporation Law and received by Universal relating to shareholders' dissenters' rights and (ii) the opportunity to participate in negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for fair value under the applicable General Corporation Law. Universal shall not, except with the prior written consent of MutualFirst, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any such demand for payment. Any Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent as (defined in Section 2.1) pursuant to Article II to pay for shares of Universal Common Stock for which dissenters' rights have been perfected shall be returned to MutualFirst upon demand.

(e) Adjustment to Exchange Ratio. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of MutualFirst Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, then an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio to provide the holders of Universal Common Stock converted into Merger Consideration the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Merger Consideration prior to such event.

1.5 Incorporation Documents and Bylaws of the Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation of MutualFirst in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law. The bylaws of MutualFirst, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law and the terms of such bylaws.

1.6 Directors and Officers. The directors of MutualFirst immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Company and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal. On or prior to the Closing Date, MutualFirst's Board of Directors shall select two mutually agreeable existing Universal directors to become members of the Board of Directors of MutualFirst as of the Effective Time. The officers of MutualFirst immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

1.7 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall consider that any further assignments or assurances in law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to (i) vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Company its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of Universal acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Company as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger, or (ii) otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement, Universal, and its proper officers and directors, shall be deemed to have granted to the Surviving Company an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest to execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments and assurances in law and to do all acts necessary or proper to vest, perfect or confirm title to and possession of such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Company and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, and the proper officers and directors of the Surviving Company are fully authorized in the name of Universal or the Surviving Company or otherwise to take any and all such action without limitation except as otherwise required by applicable law.

1.8 The Bank Merger. Immediately after the Effective Time, MutualFirst intends to merge BloomBank, an Indiana-chartered commercial bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Universal, with and into MutualBank, an Indiana-chartered commercial bank and wholly owned subsidiary of MutualFirst (the "Bank Merger") in accordance with the provisions of applicable state and federal banking laws and regulations, and MutualBank shall be the resulting institution or surviving bank (the "Surviving Bank"). The Bank Merger shall have the effects as set forth under applicable state and federal banking laws and regulations and the Boards of Directors of the Parties shall approve, and shall cause the boards of directors of BloomBank and MutualBank, respectively, to approve, a separate combination agreement/plan of merger (the "Bank Plan of Merger") in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, and cause the Bank Plan of Merger to be executed and delivered as soon as practicable following the date of execution of this Agreement. In addition, Universal shall cause BloomBank, and

MutualFirst shall cause MutualBank, to execute and file in accordance with applicable state and federal banking laws and regulations such articles of merger or combination, corporate resolutions, and/or other documents and certificates as are necessary to make the Bank Merger effective (the "Bank Merger Certificates").

ARTICLE II

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

2.1 Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall appoint MutualFirst's transfer agent pursuant to an agreement (the "Exchange Agent Agreement") to act as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") hereunder.

2.2 Deposit of Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall (i) deposit with the Exchange Agent, or authorize the Exchange Agent to issue an aggregate number of shares of MutualFirst Common Stock equal to the stock portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration and (ii) deposit, or cause to be deposited with, the Exchange Agent, the cash portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration plus, to the extent then determinable, any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.3(f) (together, the "Exchange Fund") and Buyer shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely deliver the Merger Consideration.

2.3 Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), and subject to the receipt by the Exchange Agent of a list of Universal's shareholders in a format that is reasonably acceptable to the Exchange Agent, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of an Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof)) to the Exchange Agent and shall be substantially in such form and have such other provisions as shall be prescribed by the Exchange Agent Agreement (the "Letter of Transmittal") and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering such Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of a fractional share of MutualFirst Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(c).

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after surrender to the Exchange Agent of its Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates, accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, such holder of Universal Common Stock will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of a fractional share of MutualFirst Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(c), in respect of the shares of Universal Common Stock represented by such holder's Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates. Until so surrendered, such Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive, without interest, the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of a fractional share of MutualFirst Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates in accordance with, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to, this Article II.

(c) No dividends or other distributions with respect to MutualFirst Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any un-surrendered Existing Certificate with respect to the shares of MutualFirst Common Stock represented thereby, unless and until the surrender of such Existing Certificate in

accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without interest, and in addition to the other amounts set forth herein, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole shares of MutualFirst Common Stock represented by such Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates and not paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to whole shares of MutualFirst Common Stock represented by such Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of the MutualFirst Common Stock issuable with respect to such Existing Certificate or Existing Certificates.

(d) In the event of a transfer of ownership of an Existing Certificate representing Universal Common Stock prior to the Effective Time that is not registered in the stock transfer records of Universal, the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of a fractional share of MutualFirst Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled, shall be issued or paid in exchange therefor to a person other than the person in whose name the Existing Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Existing Certificate formerly representing such Universal Common Stock shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes (as defined in Section 3.10(b)) required by reason of the payment or issuance to a person other than the registered holder of the Existing Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of MutualFirst that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable. The Exchange Agent (or, subsequent to the earlier of (x) six months after the Effective Time and (y) the expiration or termination of the Exchange Agent Agreement, MutualFirst) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the cash portion of the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of a fractional share of MutualFirst Common Stock otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Universal Common Stock such amounts as the Exchange Agent or MutualFirst, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or MutualFirst, as the case may be, and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.4), such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Universal Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or MutualFirst, as the case may be.

(e) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Universal of the shares of Universal Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of Universal Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Existing Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of MutualFirst Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no fractional shares of MutualFirst Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Existing Certificates for exchange, no dividend or distribution with respect to MutualFirst Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interest shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of MutualFirst. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, MutualFirst shall pay to each former shareholder of Universal who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the Average Closing Price of MutualFirst Common Stock as defined in Section 8.1(h) by (ii) the fraction

of a share (after taking into account all shares of Universal Common Stock held by such holder at the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest one ten thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of MutualFirst Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4(b).

(g) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Universal at the expiration of six months after the Effective Time shall be paid to MutualFirst. In such event, any former shareholders of Universal who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to MutualFirst with respect to the Merger Consideration, and any cash in lieu of any fractional share interest and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the MutualFirst Common Stock deliverable in respect of the shares represented by an Existing Certificate such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of MutualFirst, Universal, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Universal Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(h) In the event any Existing Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Existing Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by MutualFirst or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as MutualFirst or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Existing Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Existing Certificate the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of any fractional share interest and any dividends and distributions to which such person is entitled in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF UNIVERSAL

Except as disclosed in the disclosure schedule delivered by Universal to MutualFirst concurrently herewith (the "Universal Disclosure Schedule"); provided, that (a) no such item is required to be set forth as an exception to a representation or warranty if its absence would not result in the related representation or warranty being deemed untrue or incorrect, (b) the mere inclusion of an item in the Universal Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by Universal that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 3.1(a)) on Universal and (c) any disclosures made with respect to a section of Article III shall be deemed to qualify (1) any other section of Article III specifically referenced or cross-referenced and (2) other sections of Article III to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross reference) from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure applies to such other sections, Universal hereby represents and warrants to MutualFirst as follows:

3.1 Corporate Organization.

(a) Universal is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Indiana, and is a bank holding company duly registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"). Universal has the corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets as presently owned, operated or leased and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Universal is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the

properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Universal. As used in this Agreement, the term "Material Adverse Effect" means, with respect to MutualFirst, Universal or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, results of operations or financial condition of such party and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (provided, however, that, with respect to this clause (i), Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include the impact of (A) changes, after the date hereof, in United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") or applicable regulatory accounting requirements, (B) changes, after the date hereof, in laws, rules or regulations of general applicability to companies in the industries in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate, or interpretations thereof by courts or Governmental Entities, (C) changes, after the date hereof, in global, national or regional political conditions (including the outbreak of war or acts of terrorism) or in economic or market (including equity, credit and debt markets, as well as changes in interest rates) conditions affecting the financial services industry generally, (D) public disclosure of the transactions contemplated hereby or actions or inactions expressly required by this Agreement or that are taken with the prior written consent of the other party in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (E) expenses reasonably incurred by a party in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (F) a decline in the trading price of a party's common stock or the failure, in and of itself, to meet earnings projections, but not, in either case, including the underlying causes thereof; except, with respect to subclauses (A), (B), or (C), to the extent that the effects of such change are materially disproportionately adverse to the business, properties, assets, liabilities, results of operations or financial condition of such party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other companies in the industry in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate), or (ii) the ability of such party or its banking Subsidiary to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. As used in this Agreement, the word "Subsidiary" when used with respect to any party, means any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, bank or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, which is consolidated with such party for financial reporting purposes. True and complete copies of the articles of incorporation of Universal (the "Universal Articles") and the bylaws of Universal (the "Universal Bylaws"), as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have previously been made available by Universal to MutualFirst.

(b) Each Subsidiary of Universal (a "Universal Subsidiary") (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) is duly qualified to do business and, where such concept is recognized under applicable law, is in good standing in all jurisdictions (whether federal, state, local or foreign) where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and in which the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Universal and (iii) has all requisite power and authority to own or lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(b) of the Universal Disclosure Schedule, there are no restrictions on the ability of any Subsidiary of Universal to pay dividends or distributions except for statutory restrictions on dividends or distributions generally applicable to all entities of the same type and, in the case of a Subsidiary that is a regulated entity, for restrictions on dividends or distributions generally applicable to all such regulated entities.

Section 3.1(b) of the Universal Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all Subsidiaries of Universal as of the date hereof. Neither Universal nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any equity or profit-and-loss interest in any business enterprise, corporation, partnership or joint venture, limited liability company, association, joint-stock company, business trust or unincorporated organization, other than a Subsidiary, readily marketable securities, securities held-to-maturity in its investment

Neither Universal nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action to take corrective action or make a filing under any voluntary correction program of the IRS, United States Department of Labor or any other Governmental Entity with respect to any Universal Benefit Plan, and neither Universal nor any of its Subsidiaries has any knowledge of any plan defect that would qualify for correction under any such program.

(d) Section 3.11(d) of the Universal Disclosure Schedule identifies each Universal Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (collectively, the "Universal Qualified Plans"). The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter, or an opinion letter for a prototype or volume submitter plan upon which Universal may rely, with respect to each Universal

Qualified Plan and the related trust, which letter has not been revoked (nor has revocation been threatened), and, to the knowledge of Universal, there are no existing circumstances and no events have occurred that could adversely affect the qualified status of any Universal Qualified Plan or the related trust or increase the costs relating thereto. No trust funding any Universal Benefit Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

(e) Each Universal Benefit Plan that is a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) and any award thereunder, in each case that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, has (i) since January 1, 2005, been maintained and operated, in all material respects, in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code and IRS Notice 2005-1 and (ii) since January 1, 2009, been, in all material respects, in documentary and operational compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

No Universal Benefit Plan is underfunded when comparing the present value of accrued liabilities under such plan to the market value of plan assets.

(g) None of Universal and its Subsidiaries nor any Universal ERISA Affiliate has, ever contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any plan that is a "multiemployer plan" within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA (a "Multiemployer Plan"), a plan that is a "multiple employer welfare arrangement" as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA (a "Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement"), or a plan that has two or more contributing sponsors at least two of whom are not under common control, within the meaning of Section 4063 of ERISA (a "Multiple Employer Plan"), and none of Universal and its Subsidiaries nor any Universal ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to a Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal (as those terms are defined in Part I of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA) from a Multiemployer Plan, Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement or Multiple Employer Plan.

(i) All contributions required to be made to any Universal Benefit Plan by applicable law or by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, and all premiums due or payable with respect to insurance policies funding any Universal Benefit Plan, have been timely made or paid in full or, to the extent not required to be made or paid, have been fully reflected on the books and records of Universal.

(j) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Universal, threatened claims (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course), lawsuits or arbitrations which have been asserted or instituted, and, to Universal's knowledge, no set of circumstances exists which may reasonably give rise to a claim or lawsuit, against any Universal Benefit Plan, any fiduciaries thereof with respect to their duties to a Universal Benefit Plan or the assets of any trust under any Universal Benefit Plans which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Universal or any of its Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity, any Multiemployer Plan, a Multiple Employer Plan, any participant in a Universal Benefit Plan, or any other party.

(k) None of Universal and its Subsidiaries nor any Universal ERISA Affiliate nor any other person, including any fiduciary, has engaged in any "prohibited transaction" (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA), which could subject any of the Universal Benefit Plans or their related trusts, Universal, any of its Subsidiaries, any Universal ERISA Affiliate or any person that Universal or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify, to any Tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

(l) Except as set forth in Section 3.11(l) of the Universal Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) result in, cause the vesting, exercisability or delivery of, or increase in the amount or value of, any payment, right or other benefit to any employee, officer, director or other service provider of Universal or any of its Subsidiaries, or result in any limitation on the right of Universal or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from any Universal Benefit Plan or related trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount paid or payable (whether in cash, in property, or in the form of benefits) by Universal or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such transactions in conjunction with any other event) will be an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or will not be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. Neither Universal nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to a rabbi trust or similar funding vehicle, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not cause or require Universal or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates to establish or make any contribution to a rabbi trust or similar funding vehicle. No Universal Benefit Plan provides for the gross-up or reimbursement of Taxes under Section 4999 or 409A of the Code, or otherwise. Universal has made available to MutualFirst copies of Section 280G calculations (whether or not final) with respect to any disqualified individual in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and Universal shall provide updated Section 280G calculations to MutualFirst at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date.

(m) There are no pending or, to Universal's knowledge, threatened material labor grievances or unfair labor practice claims or charges against Universal or any of its Subsidiaries, or any strikes or other labor disputes against Universal or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither Universal nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any collective bargaining or similar agreement with any labor organization, or work rules or practices agreed to with any labor organization or employee association applicable to employees of Universal or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Universal, there are no organizing efforts by any union or other group seeking to represent any employees of Universal or any of its Subsidiaries.

(n) Neither Universal nor any of its Subsidiaries have any liabilities to employees or former employees that are not reflected in the Universal Benefit Plans.

(o) No condition exists as a result of which Universal or any of its Subsidiaries would have any liability, whether absolute or contingent, under any Universal benefit Plan with respect to any misclassification of a person performing services for Universal or any of its Subsidiaries as an independent contractor rather than as an employee.

Each of Universal and MutualFirst shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to maintain such effectiveness for as long as necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the Form S-4 being declared effective, Universal shall thereafter mail or deliver the

MutualFirst shall also use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or "Blue Sky" permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Universal shall furnish all information concerning Universal and the holders of Universal Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event occurs or information relating to Universal or MutualFirst, or any of their respective affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by Universal or MutualFirst that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable law, disseminated to Universal's shareholders.

In furtherance (but not in limitation) of the foregoing, MutualFirst shall, and shall cause MutualBank to, use commercially reasonable best efforts to file any required applications, notices

or other filings with the Federal Reserve Board, the DFI, and FDIC within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof. Universal and MutualFirst shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the confidentiality of information, all the information relating to Universal or MutualFirst, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party, Regulatory Agency or other Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Neither MutualFirst nor Universal nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of MutualFirst's or Universal's, as the case may be, customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the party in possession or control of such information or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Universal shall permit, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to permit, MutualFirst and/or an environmental consulting firm selected by MutualFirst, at the sole expense of MutualFirst, to conduct such phase I and/or phase II environmental audits, studies and tests on real property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by Universal or any of its Subsidiaries.

cause the Universal Shareholder Meeting to be convened and held on the scheduled date and (y) obtain the Universal Shareholder Approval; and (iii) subject to Section 6.8, include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation that the Universal shareholders approve this Agreement and the Merger (the "Universal Board Recommendation").

6.5 Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall maintain or cause to be maintained employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities for the benefit of employees of Universal and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date ("Covered Employees") that provide employee benefits and compensation programs which are substantially comparable to the employee benefits and compensation programs that are made available to similarly situated employees of MutualFirst or its Subsidiaries (other than Universal and its Subsidiaries), as applicable; provided that (i) in no event shall any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any closed or frozen plan of MutualFirst or its Subsidiaries; and (ii) until such time as MutualFirst shall cause Covered Employees to participate in the benefit plans and compensation opportunities that are made available to similarly situated employees of MutualFirst or its Subsidiaries (other than Universal and its Subsidiaries), a Covered Employee's continued participation in employee benefit plans and compensation programs of Universal and its Subsidiaries that are continued by MutualFirst or a MutualFirst Subsidiary shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this sentence (it being understood that participation in the MutualFirst Benefit Plans may commence at different times with respect to each MutualFirst Benefit Plan).

(b) To the extent that a Covered Employee becomes eligible to participate in a MutualFirst Benefit Plan, MutualFirst shall cause such MutualFirst Benefit Plan to (i) recognize years of prior service from the date of most recent hire of such Covered Employee with Universal, its Subsidiaries or their predecessors for purposes of eligibility, participation, and vesting but not for the purposes of benefit accruals, but only to the extent that such service was recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time under a comparable Universal Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that such recognition of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefits of a Covered Employee with respect to the same period of service; (ii) with respect to any MutualFirst Benefit Plan that is a health, dental, vision plan or other similar plan in which any Covered Employee is eligible to participate for the plan year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate, MutualFirst or its applicable Subsidiary shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (A) cause any pre-existing condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such MutualFirst or Subsidiary plan to be waived with respect to such Covered Employee to the extent such condition was or would have been covered under the Universal Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) recognize any health, dental, vision or other similar expenses incurred by such Covered Employee in the year that includes the Closing Date (or, if later, the year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate) for purposes of

any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such health, dental, vision or other welfare plan; and (iii) for purposes of vacation or paid time off ("PTO") benefits, service accrued with Universal from the most recent hire date with Universal, its Subsidiaries or their predecessors shall be credited for determining a Covered Employee's eligibility and length of vacation or PTO under the MutualFirst vacation or PTO plan, and any vacation or PTO taken prior to the Closing Date (or such later date when PTO plans or programs are integrated) shall be subtracted under the MutualFirst plan from the Covered Employee's vacation or PTO entitlement for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Universal shall take, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to take, all actions reasonably requested by MutualFirst that may be necessary or appropriate to (i) cause the continuation on and after the Effective Time of any contract, arrangement or insurance policy relating to any Universal Benefit Plan for such period as may be requested by MutualFirst, (ii) facilitate the merger of any Universal Benefit Plan into any employee benefit plan maintained by MutualFirst or a MutualFirst Subsidiary, and/or (iii) amend or terminate one or more Universal Benefit Plans (to the extent permitted by the terms thereof and Section 409A of the Code) immediately prior to the Effective Time. All resolutions, notices, or other documents issued, adopted or executed in connection with the implementation of this Section 6.5(c) shall be subject to MutualFirst's prior review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) MutualFirst agrees that, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary thereof, any full time Covered Employee who is terminated without cause during such one-year period and who is not otherwise subject to an employment agreement, change in control agreement, or severance agreement will be provided with severance benefits as described in Section 6.5(d) of the MutualFirst Disclosure Schedule.

(e) Each employee of Universal or its Subsidiaries who is a party to a stay bonus agreement or similar agreement and who is listed on Exhibit B has, as of the date of this Agreement, entered into a new Officer's Agreement with MutualFirst or a MutualFirst Subsidiary which shall become effective at the Effective Time. All employment, change in control, severance agreements, stay bonus and similar agreements listed in Section 3.11(a) of the Universal Disclosure Schedule shall be terminated by Universal or a Universal Subsidiary, as applicable, and all benefits due thereunder shall be paid immediately prior to the Effective Time by Universal or a Universal Subsidiary, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the benefits vested under the other Universal Benefit Plans, with respect to employees, officers, directors and consultants of Universal or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates who are not retained immediately following the Effective Time shall be honored by the Surviving Company or a MutualFirst Subsidiary unless such Universal Benefit Plan is terminated prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee, officer, director or consultant of MutualFirst or Universal or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates any right to continue in the employ or service of the Surviving Company, Universal, MutualFirst or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Surviving Company, Universal, MutualFirst or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer, director or consultant of MutualFirst or Universal or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, subject to appropriate payments being made pursuant to any existing contractual rights of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any particular Universal Benefit Plan, MutualFirst Benefit Plan, or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the final sentence of Section 9.9, nothing in this Section 6.5, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon

any third party, including without limitation any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of MutualFirst or Universal or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.5.

(g) In the event that any disqualified individual of Universal or its Subsidiaries receives any payments, benefits or acceleration of vesting (the "Total Payments") in connection with the Merger that would constitute an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code that is subject to the Tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Universal will take all steps necessary to ensure that the Total Payments will be reduced such that the value of the Total Payments that each counterparty is entitled to receive shall be $1.00 less than the maximum amount which the counterparty may receive without becoming subject to the excise tax or resulting in a disallowance of a deduction of the payment of such amount under Section 280G of the Code.

6.6 Officers' and Directors' Insurance; Indemnification.

(a) For three (3) years from and after the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall maintain officers' and directors' liability insurance covering the persons who are covered by Universal's current officers' and directors' liability insurance policy with respect to actions, omissions, events, matters or circumstances occurring prior to the Effective Time, on terms which are at least substantially equivalent to the terms of said current policy, provided that it shall not be required to expend during the coverage period more than an amount equal to 150% of the annual premium most recently paid by Universal (the "Insurance Amount") to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto, and further provided that if MutualFirst is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 6.6(a), MutualFirst shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Insurance Amount. The officers and directors of Universal or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to MutualFirst's insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance.

(b) For six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, MutualFirst shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or who has been at any time before the date of this Agreement, or who becomes before the Effective Time, a director or officer of Universal or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an "Universal Indemnified Party") against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of MutualFirst, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or other legal proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative or investigation (each, a "Claim"), in which a Universal Indemnified Party is, or is threatened to be made, a party or witness or arising out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Universal or any of its Subsidiaries if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time (including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, or after, the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under the organizational documents of Universal and its Subsidiaries and to the fullest extent otherwise permitted by law.

(c) In connection with the indemnification provided pursuant to Section 6.6(b), MutualFirst and/or a MutualFirst Subsidiary (i) will advance expenses, promptly after statements therefor are received, to each Universal Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by law and Governmental Entities (provided the individual to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such individual is not entitled to indemnification), including the payment of the fees and expenses of one counsel with respect to a matter, and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, if necessary or appropriate, selected by such Universal

Indemnified Person or multiple Universal Indemnified Persons, it being understood that they collectively shall only be entitled to one counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction where necessary or appropriate (unless a conflict shall exist between them in which case they may retain separate counsel), all such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to MutualFirst and (ii) will cooperate in the defense of any such matter.

(d) This Section 6.6 shall survive the Effective Time, is intended to benefit each Universal Indemnified Person (each of whom shall be entitled to enforce this Section against MutualFirst), and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of MutualFirst.

(e) In the event MutualFirst or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to one or more other persons or entities, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of MutualFirst assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

6.7 Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). Each of the Board of Directors of MutualFirst and Universal or a committee of Non-Employee Directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act) shall adopt a resolution in advance of the Effective Time providing that the receipt by Universal Insiders of MutualFirst Common Stock pursuant to the Merger is intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. As used herein, the term "Universal Insiders" means those officers and directors of Universal who will become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act as insiders of MutualFirst in conjunction with the Merger.

6.8 No Solicitation.

(a) Universal agrees that, except as expressly permitted by Section 6.8(b), from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, it will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and the officers, directors, and employees of Universal and its Subsidiaries (the "Universal Individuals") not to, and will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause Universal's and its Subsidiaries' agents, advisors and controlled affiliates, accountants, legal counsel, and financial advisors (the "Universal Representatives") not to, initiate, solicit, encourage or knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage in any discussions or negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data concerning its and/or its Subsidiaries business, properties or assets ("Universal Confidential Information") to, or have any discussions with, any person or entity relating to, any Acquisition Proposal. Universal will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any persons or entities other than MutualFirst with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and will use its commercially reasonable best efforts, subject to applicable law, to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to such an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.8(a), at any time from the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Universal Shareholder Approval, in the event Universal receives an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal and the Board of Directors of Universal determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal may constitute a Superior Proposal (as defined below) or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, Universal may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and the Universal Individuals and the Universal Representatives to, (i) negotiate the terms of, and enter into, a confidentiality agreement with terms and conditions no less favorable to Universal than the Confidentiality Agreement (an "Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement"), (ii) furnish or cause to be furnished Universal Confidential Information to the person or entity making such Acquisition Proposal

pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, and (iii) negotiate and participate in such negotiations or discussions with the person or entity making such Acquisition Proposal concerning such Acquisition Proposal, if the Board of Directors of Universal determines in good faith (following consultation with counsel) that failure to take such actions would result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(c) The Board of Directors of Universal shall not (nor shall any committee thereof) withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to MutualFirst, the Universal Board Recommendation or make or cause to be made any third party or public communication proposing or announcing an intention to withdraw or modify in any manner adverse to MutualFirst the Universal Board Recommendation (any such action, a "Change in Recommendation"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of Universal (including any committee thereof) may, at any time prior to obtaining the Universal Shareholder Approval, effect a Change in Recommendation in response to a bona fide written unsolicited Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that the Board of Directors of Universal determines in good faith (after consultation with Universal's outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of Universal may not make a Change in Recommendation, or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f), with respect to an Acquisition Proposal until it has given MutualFirst at least four (4) business days, following MutualFirst's initial receipt of written notice that the Board of Directors of Universal has determined that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and the reasons therefor, to respond to any such Acquisition Proposal and, taking into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by MutualFirst, the Board of Directors of Universal determines in good faith (after consultation with counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(d) Universal will promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days) advise MutualFirst in writing following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal and the substance thereof (including the identity of the person or entity making such Acquisition Proposal), and will keep MutualFirst apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations (including the terms and conditions, whether written or oral, of the Acquisition Proposal) on a current basis.

(e) As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

"Acquisition Proposal" means a tender or exchange offer, proposal for a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving Universal or BloomBank or any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner more than 20% of the voting power in, or more than 20% of the fair market value of the business, assets or deposits of, Universal or BloomBank, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

"Superior Proposal" means a written Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of Universal concludes in good faith to be more favorable from a financial point of view to its shareholders than the Merger, (i) after receiving the advice of its financial advisors (ii) after taking into account the likelihood of consummation of such transaction on the terms set forth therein and (iii) after taking into account all legal (with the advice of outside counsel), financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such proposal and any other relevant factors permitted under applicable law; provided, however, that for purposes of the definition of "Superior Proposal," the references to "more than 20%" in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to "a majority".

6.9 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Parties shall give prompt written notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (a) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse

Effect with respect to it or (b) would cause or constitute a breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein. Each of Universal and MutualFirst shall promptly inform the other in writing upon receiving notice of any claim, demand, cause of action or investigation by any Governmental Entity or third party against, or threatened against, it or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets, properties, or any of their respective directors, officers or employees in their individual capacities as such.

6.10 Correction of Information. Each of Universal and MutualFirst shall promptly correct and supplement in writing any information furnished under this Agreement so that such information shall be correct and complete in all material respects at all times, without taking into account any Material Adverse Effect qualification, and shall include all facts necessary to make such information correct and complete in all material respects at all times; provided, however, that in each case, such disclosure shall not be deemed to cure any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or any failure of a condition under Article VII, or to otherwise limit or affect in any way the remedies available hereunder to any party receiving such notice.

6.11 Integration. From and after the date hereof, Universal shall, and shall cause BloomBank and its and BloomBank's directors, officers and employees to, make all commercially reasonable best efforts (without undue disruption to either business) to (i) cooperate in order to permit MutualBank to train BloomBank employees who are expected to continue employment with MutualBank, including excusing such employees from their duties for the purpose of training and orientation by MutualBank and (ii) cause BloomBank's data processing consultants and software providers to cooperate and assist BloomBank and MutualBank in connection with the planned electronic and systematic conversion of all applicable data of BloomBank to the MutualBank system to occur after the Effective Time, in each case without undue disruption to BloomBank's business, during normal business hours and at the expense of MutualFirst or MutualBank (not to include BloomBank's regular employee payroll).

6.12 Coordination; Integration. Subject to applicable law and regulation, during the period from the date hereof until the Effective Time, Universal shall cause the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of BloomBank to assist and confer with the officers of MutualBank, on a periodic basis, relating to the development, coordination and implementation of the post-Merger operating and integration plans of MutualBank, as the resulting bank in the Bank Merger.

6.13 Delivery of Agreements. Universal shall cause the Voting Agreements to be executed by its directors and the Officer's Agreements to be executed by its officers and delivered to MutualFirst prior to or simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement.

6.14 Universal Contribution to HSA. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Universal or BloomBank shall contribute up to $2,000 per Covered Employee to such employee's Health Savings Account ("HSA").

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Universal Shareholder Approval, by action of the Board of Directors of a party, as follows:

(a) by the written mutual consent of Universal and MutualFirst;

(b) by either Universal or MutualFirst, if any Governmental Entity that must grant a Requisite Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the Merger or the Bank Merger and such denial has become final and non-appealable or any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and non-appealable order, injunction or decree permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Merger or the Bank Merger, unless the failure to obtain a Requisite Regulatory Approval shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform any covenant or agreement in this Agreement required to be performed prior to the Effective Time;

(c) by either Universal or MutualFirst, if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before June 30, 2018, unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth in this Agreement;

(d) by either Universal or MutualFirst (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), if there

shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of Universal, in the case of a termination by MutualFirst, or MutualFirst, in the case of a termination by Universal, which breach, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 or 7.3, as the case may be, and which is not cured within twenty (20) days following written notice to the party committing such breach or by its nature or timing cannot be cured within such time period;

(e) by MutualFirst if (i) the Board of Directors of Universal (or any committee thereof) shall have failed to make the Universal Board Recommendation or made a Change in Recommendation or (ii) Universal shall have materially breached any of the provisions set forth in Section 6.8 or (iii) Universal shall have refused to call or hold the Universal Shareholder Meeting (except as provided in the last sentence of Section 6.3);

(f) by Universal prior to obtaining the Universal Shareholder Approval in order to enter into an agreement relating to a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 6.8; provided, however, that Universal has (i) not materially breached the provisions of Section 6.8, and (ii) complied with its payment obligation under Section 8.4(a);

(g) by either Universal or MutualFirst, if the provisions of Section 8.1(e) are not applicable and the shareholders of Universal fail to provide the Universal Shareholder Approval at a duly held meeting of shareholders or at an adjournment or postponement thereof; or

(h) By Universal at any time during the three-day period following the Determination Date (as defined below), if both of the following conditions (A) and (B) exist:

(A) the Average Closing Price (as defined below) shall be less than the product of 0.800 and the Starting Price; and

(B) (i) the number obtained by dividing the Average Closing Price by the Starting Price (such number being referred to herein as the "MutualFirst Ratio") shall be less than (ii) the number obtained by dividing the Index Price on the Determination Date by the Index Price on the Starting Date (as defined below) and subtracting 0.200 from such quotient (such number being referred to herein as the "Index Ratio"); subject to the following: if Universal elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to Section 8.1(h), it shall give prompt written notice to MutualFirst; provided that such notice of election to terminate may be withdrawn at any time within the aforementioned three-day period. For a period of five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, MutualFirst shall have the option of increasing the Exchange Ratio in a manner such, and to the extent required, so that the condition set forth in either clause (A) or (B) above shall be deemed not to exist.

For purposes hereof, the condition set forth in clause (A) above shall be deemed not to exist if the Exchange Ratio is increased so that the Adjusted Per Share Stock Consideration (calculated by using the Average Closing Price, as provided in the definition of "Adjusted Per Share Stock Consideration") after such increase is not less than 80% of the Adjusted Per Share Stock Consideration calculated by using the Starting Price in lieu of the Average Closing Price.

For purposes hereof, the condition set forth in clause (B) above shall be deemed not to exist if the Exchange Ratio is increased so that the Adjusted MutualFirst Ratio is not less than the Index Ratio.

If MutualFirst makes this election, within such period, it shall give prompt written notice to Universal of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have occurred

pursuant to this Section 8.1(h) and this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms (except as the Exchange Ratio, and derivatively the Per Share Stock Consideration, shall have been so modified), and any references in this Agreement to "Exchange Ratio" and "Per Share Stock Consideration" shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Exchange Ratio and Per Share Stock Consideration after giving effect to any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8.1(h).

For purposes of this Section 8.1(h), the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

"Adjusted MutualFirst Ratio" means the number obtained by dividing (x) the sum of (i) the Average Closing Price plus (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate increase in transaction value resulting from an increase in the Exchange Ratio by the total number of shares of Universal Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the initial Exchange Ratio, on the Determination Date, by (y) the Starting Price. For purposes of calculating the increase in transaction value, the price per share of MutualFirst Common Stock shall be deemed to be the Average Closing Price.

"Adjusted Per Share Stock Consideration" means the product of the Per Share Stock Consideration times the Average Closing Price.

"Average Closing Price" means the average of the last reported closing prices per share of MutualFirst Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another mutually agreed upon authoritative source) for the twenty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Determination Date.

"Determination Date" shall mean the tenth calendar day immediately prior to the Effective Time, or if such calendar day is not a trading day on the Nasdaq, the trading day immediately preceding such calendar day.

"Index Price" on a given date means the closing price of the Nasdaq Bank Index.

"Starting Date" means August 9, 2017.

"Starting Price" means $35.30.

If MutualFirst declares or effects a stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction between the Starting Date and the Determination Date, the prices for the MutualFirst Common Stock shall be appropriately adjusted for the purposes of applying this Section 8.1(h).

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Universal or MutualFirst as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Universal, MutualFirst, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever under this Agreement, or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that (i) Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10 and 9.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated under Section 8.1(d), the non-terminating party shall not, except as provided in Section 8.4(c), be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

8.3 Fees and Expenses. Except with respect to costs and expenses of printing and mailing the Proxy Statement, which shall be borne by Universal, and all filing and other fees in connection with any

filing with the SEC and Regulatory Agencies, which shall be borne by MutualFirst, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger, this Agreement, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

8.4 Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or (f), then (i) in the case of termination under Section 8.1(e), Universal shall immediately following such termination pay MutualFirst an amount equal to $2,500,000 (the "Termination Fee"), and (ii) in the case of termination under Section 8.1(f), Universal shall, simultaneously with such termination and as a condition thereof, pay MutualFirst the Termination Fee, in each case in same-day funds.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by either party under Section 8.1(g), and prior thereto there has been publicly announced an Acquisition Proposal, then if within one year of such termination Universal or BloomBank either (A) enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or (B) consummates an Acquisition Proposal, Universal shall immediately pay MutualFirst the Termination Fee set forth in Section 8.4(a) in same-day funds. For purposes of clauses (A) and (B) above, the reference to 20% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be 50%.

(c) The payment of the Termination Fee shall fully discharge Universal from any and all liability under this Agreement and related to the transactions contemplated herein, and MutualFirst shall not be entitled to any other relief or remedy against Universal. If the Termination Fee is not payable, MutualFirst may pursue any and all remedies available to it against Universal on account of a willful and material breach by Universal of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Moreover, if the Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.1(e)(ii) or (iii), MutualFirst shall have the right to pursue any and all remedies available to it against Universal on account of the willful and material breach by Universal of Section 6.8 in lieu of accepting the Termination Fee under Section 8.4(a). Universal may pursue any and all remedies available to it against MutualFirst on account of a willful and material breach by MutualFirst of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

8.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with Merger by the shareholders of Universal; provided, however, that after any approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the shareholders of Universal, there may not be, without further approval of such shareholders, any amendment of this Agreement that requires further approval under applicable law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

8.6 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective Board of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
