Huntington shall be the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Maryland. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of TCF shall terminate.

1.2 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, remotely via the electronic exchange of closing deliveries, on a date which shall be no later than three (3) business days after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the latest to occur of the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof), unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Huntington and TCF. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, Huntington shall cause to be filed articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) as provided under the MGCL with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (the “Maryland Department”) and a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) as provided under the MBCA with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (the “Michigan Department”). The Merger shall become effective as of the date and time specified in the Articles of Merger and the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the relevant provisions of the MGCL and the MBCA, or at such other date and time as shall be provided by applicable law (such date and time, the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the MGCL and the MBCA and this Agreement.

1.5 Conversion of TCF Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Huntington, TCF, or the holder of any of the following securities:

(a) Subject to Section 2.2(e), each share of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of TCF issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“TCF Common Stock”), except for shares of TCF Common Stock owned by TCF or Huntington (in each case other than shares of TCF Common Stock (i) held in any TCF Benefit Plans or related trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity and (ii) held, directly or indirectly, in respect of debts previously contracted (collectively, the “Exception Shares”)) shall be converted, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, into the right to receive, without interest, 3.0028 shares (the “Exchange Ratio” and such shares, the “Merger Consideration”) of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Huntington (the “Huntington Common Stock”).

(b)All of the shares of TCF 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 (each, an “Old Certificate,” it being understood that any reference herein to “Old Certificate” shall be deemed to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of TCF Common Stock) previously representing any such shares of TCF Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration, (ii) cash in lieu of a fractional share which the shares of TCF Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Section 1.5 and Section 2.2(e), and (iii) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2, in each case without any interest thereon. Old Certificates previously representing shares of TCF Common Stock shall be exchanged for certificates or, at Huntington’s option, evidence of shares in book entry form representing whole shares of Huntington Common Stock as set forth in Section 1.5(a) (together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto and cash in lieu of fractional shares issued in consideration therefor) upon the surrender of such Old Certificates in accordance with Section 2.2, without any interest thereon. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Huntington Common Stock or TCF Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or

kind of shares or securities, in any such case as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or extraordinary distribution, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio to give holders of TCF Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to permit Huntington or TCF to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, all shares of TCF Common Stock that are owned by TCF or Huntington (in each case other than the Exception Shares) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and neither the Merger Consideration nor any other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

1.6 TCF Preferred Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Huntington, TCF or any holder of securities thereof, each share of 5.70% Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, no par value, of TCF (“TCF Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into the right to receive a share of a newly created series of preferred stock of Huntington in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto (all shares of such newly created series, collectively, the “New Huntington Preferred Stock”) and, upon such conversion, the TCF Preferred Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time.

1.7 Huntington Common Stock. At and after the Effective Time, each share of Huntington Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger.

1.8 Treatment of TCF Equity Awards.

(a)At the Effective Time, each option granted by TCF to purchase shares of TCF Common Stock under a TCF Stock Plan (as defined below) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “TCF Stock Option”) shall be assumed and converted automatically into an option (an “Adjusted Stock Option”) to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such TCF Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting terms), the number of shares of Huntington Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Huntington Common Stock) equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of TCF Common Stock subject to such TCF Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, which Adjusted Stock Option shall have an exercise price per share of Huntington Common Stock equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing (1) the exercise price per share of TCF Common Stock subject to such TCF Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (2) the Exchange Ratio.

(b)At the Effective Time, each award in respect of a share of TCF Common Stock subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restriction granted under a TCF Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “TCF Restricted Stock Award”) shall (i) if

granted to a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of TCF, fully vest and be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive (without interest) the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of TCF Common Stock subject to such TCF Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, which shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and in no event later than ten (10) business days following the Closing Date (or on such later date if required to comply with Section 409A of the Code) and (ii) if not granted to an individual described in clause (i) hereof, be assumed and converted into a restricted stock award of shares of Huntington Common Stock subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restriction with the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such TCF Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting terms), and relating to the number of shares of Huntington Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of TCF Common Stock subject to such TCF Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share of Huntington Common Stock.

(c)At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award in respect of shares of TCF Common Stock granted under a TCF Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “TCF Restricted Stock Unit Award”) shall be assumed and converted into a restricted stock unit award (with any performance goals deemed satisfied at the greater of the target and actual level of performance through the most recently completed calendar quarter prior to the Closing as reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of TCF in the ordinary course consistent with past practice) in respect of Huntington Common Stock (an “Adjusted Restricted Stock Unit Award”) with the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such TCF Restricted Stock Unit Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting terms) and relating to the number of shares of Huntington Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of TCF Common Stock subject to such TCF Restricted Stock Unit Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share of Huntington Common Stock; provided that each such Adjusted Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be subject to service-based vesting only and shall no longer be subject to any performance conditions.

(d)At the Effective Time, each award in respect of a deferred share of TCF Common Stock granted under a TCF Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “TCF Deferred Stock Award”) shall be assumed and converted automatically into a deferred stock award of shares of Huntington Common Stock subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such TCF Deferred Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, and relating to the number of shares of Huntington Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of TCF Common Stock subject to such TCF Deferred Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share of Huntington Common Stock.

(e)Each holder of a TCF Restricted Stock Award converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration that would have otherwise been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Huntington Common Stock (after aggregating all shares to be delivered in respect of all TCF Equity Awards held by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof and upon surrender thereof, a cash payment (rounded to the nearest cent) (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional

part of a share of Huntington Common Stock (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) multiplied by the Huntington Share Closing Price (as defined below).

(f)Promptly following the Effective Time, Huntington shall file a post-effective amendment to the S-4 or an effective registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Huntington Common Stock subject to the applicable adjusted TCF Equity Awards, as required.

2.1 Huntington to Make Consideration Available. At or prior to the Effective Time, Huntington shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Huntington and reasonably acceptable to TCF (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates (which for purposes of this Article II shall be deemed to include certificates or book-entry account statements representing shares of TCF Preferred Stock), for exchange in accordance with this Article II, (a) certificates or, at Huntington’s option, evidence in book-entry form, representing shares of Huntington Common Stock and New Huntington Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.5 and Section 1.6 and exchanged pursuant to Section 2.2(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of TCF Common Stock and TCF Preferred Stock (collectively, referred to herein as “New Certificates”), and (b) cash in an amount sufficient to pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares (such New Certificates and cash described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto payable in accordance with Section 2.2(b), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

2.2 Exchange of Shares.

(a)As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter, Huntington shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of TCF Common Stock or TCF Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time that have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration or shares of New Huntington Preferred Stock, as applicable, pursuant to Article I, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for certificates representing the number of whole shares of Huntington Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or shares of New Huntington Preferred Stock, as applicable, which the shares of TCF Common Stock or TCF Preferred Stock represented by such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2(b). From and after the Effective Time, upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Old Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) (A) a New Certificate representing that number of whole shares of Huntington Common Stock to which such holder of TCF Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I and (B) a

check representing the amount of (x) any cash in lieu of a fractional share which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II and (y) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2 or (ii) (A) a New Certificate representing the number of shares of New Huntington Preferred Stock to which such holder of TCF Preferred Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I and (B) a check representing the amount of any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2, as applicable, and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Huntington Common Stock, New Huntington Preferred Stock or any cash in lieu of fractional shares or dividends or distributions payable to holders of Old Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the number of whole shares of Huntington Common Stock or shares of New Huntington Preferred Stock which the shares of TCF Common Stock or TCF Preferred Stock, as applicable, represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Section 2.2.

(b)No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Huntington Common Stock or New Huntington Preferred Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the whole shares of Huntington Common Stock or shares of New Huntington Preferred Stock which the shares of TCF Common Stock or TCF Preferred Stock, as applicable, represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive (after giving effect to Section 6.11).

(c)If any New Certificate representing shares of Huntington Common Stock or New Huntington Preferred Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate representing shares of Huntington Common Stock or New Huntington Preferred Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d)After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of TCF of the shares of TCF Common Stock or TCF Preferred Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Old Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for New Certificates representing shares of Huntington Common Stock or New Huntington Preferred Stock, as applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares and dividends or distributions that the holder presenting such Old Certificates is entitled to, as provided in this Article II.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no New Certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Huntington Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, no dividend or distribution with respect to Huntington Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Huntington. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Huntington shall pay to each former holder 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 of the closing sale prices of Huntington Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”) as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the five (5) consecutive full trading days ending on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Huntington Share Closing Price”) by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of TCF Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Huntington Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Article I. The parties acknowledge that payment of such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(f)Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of TCF Common Stock and TCF Preferred Stock for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation. Any former holders of TCF Common Stock and TCF Preferred Stock who have not theretofore exchanged their Old Certificates pursuant to this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the shares of Huntington Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares or shares of New Huntington Preferred Stock, as applicable, and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Huntington Common Stock or New Huntington Preferred Stock deliverable in respect of each former share of TCF Common Stock or TCF Preferred Stock, as applicable that such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Huntington, TCF, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of TCF Common Stock or TCF Preferred Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(g)Huntington shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Huntington Common Stock, cash dividends or distributions payable pursuant to this Section 2.2 or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of TCF Common Stock, TCF Preferred Stock or

TCF Equity Awards such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Huntington or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate governmental authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of TCF Common Stock, TCF Preferred Stock or TCF Equity Awards in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made by Huntington or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(h)In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Huntington or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Huntington or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the shares of Huntington Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares, or the shares of New Huntington Preferred Stock, as applicable, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Except (i) as disclosed in the disclosure schedule delivered by TCF to Huntington concurrently herewith (the “TCF 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 TCF Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by TCF 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 and (c) any disclosures made with respect to a section of this Article III shall be deemed to qualify (1) any other section of this Article III specifically referenced or cross-referenced and (2) other sections of this 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 or (ii) as disclosed in any TCF Reports publicly filed prior to the date hereof (but disregarding risk factor disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” or disclosures of risks set forth in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are similarly non-specific or cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), TCF hereby represents and warrants to Huntington as follows:

3.1Corporate Organization.

(a)TCF is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan and is a bank holding company duly registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHC Act”) that has elected to be treated as a financial holding company under the BHC Act. TCF has the corporate power and authority to own, lease or operate all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted in all material respects. TCF is duly licensed or qualified to do business and in good

standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned, leased or operated by it makes such licensing, qualification or standing necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on TCF. As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to Huntington, TCF or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, any effect, change, event, circumstance, condition, occurrence or development that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or applicable regulatory accounting requirements, (B) changes, after the date hereof, in laws, rules or regulations (including the Pandemic Measures) 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 and not specifically relating to such party or its Subsidiaries (including any such changes arising out of the Pandemic or any Pandemic Measures), (D) changes, after the date hereof, resulting from hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, floods or other natural disasters or from any outbreak of any disease or other public health event (including the Pandemic), (E) public disclosure of the execution of this Agreement, public disclosure or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any effect on a party’s relationships with its customers or employees) (it being understood that the foregoing shall not apply for purposes of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.3(b), 3.4, 4.3(b) or 4.4) or actions 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, 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 or internal financial forecasts, but not, in either case, including any underlying causes thereof; except, with respect to subclauses (A), (B), (C) or (D), 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 to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. As used in this Agreement, the term “Pandemic” means any outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics relating to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, or any evolutions or mutations thereof, or any other viruses (including influenza), and the governmental and other responses thereto; the term “Pandemic Measures” means any quarantine, “shelter in place”, “stay at home”, workforce reduction, social distancing, shut down, closure, sequester or other directives, guidelines or recommendations promulgated by any Governmental Entity, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, in each case, in connection with or in response to the Pandemic; and the term “Subsidiary,” when used with respect to any person, means any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, bank or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, which is consolidated with such person for financial reporting purposes. True and complete copies of the articles of incorporation of TCF, as amended (the “TCF Articles”) and the bylaws of TCF, as

amended (the “TCF Bylaws”), as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have previously been made available by TCF to Huntington.

(b)Except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) only, as would not reasonably be likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on TCF, each Subsidiary of TCF (a “TCF Subsidiary”) (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) is duly licensed or qualified to do business and, where such concept is recognized under applicable law, in good standing in all jurisdictions (whether federal, state, local or foreign) where its ownership, leasing or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so licensed or qualified or in good standing and (iii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease or operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted. There are no restrictions on the ability of any Subsidiary of TCF to pay dividends or distributions, except, in the case of a Subsidiary that is a regulated entity, for restrictions on dividends or distributions generally applicable to all such regulated entities. The deposit accounts of each Subsidiary of TCF that is an insured depository institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) through the Deposit Insurance Fund (as defined in Section 3(y) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950) to the fullest extent permitted by law, all premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been paid when due, and no proceedings for the termination of such insurance are pending or, to the knowledge of TCF, threatened.

(b)Except as would not reasonably be likely to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on TCF, neither TCF nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due) required by GAAP to be included on a consolidated balance sheet of TCF, except for those liabilities that are reflected or reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of TCF included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020 (including any notes thereto) and for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since September 30, 2020, or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

These disclosures were made in writing by management to TCF’s auditors and audit committee and true, correct and complete copies of such disclosures have been made available to Huntington.

The IRS has issued a favorable determination or opinion letter with respect to each TCF Qualified Plan and the related trust, which letter has not been revoked (nor has revocation been threatened), and, to the knowledge of TCF, there are no existing circumstances and no events have occurred that would have a material adverse effect on the qualified status of any TCF Qualified Plan or the related trust or increase the costs relating thereto.

(e)Except as would not result in any material liability, with respect to each TCF Benefit Plan or any other ongoing, frozen or terminated “single employer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by TCF, any of its Subsidiaries or any TCF ERISA Affiliates that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412, 430 or 4971 of the Code: (i) no such plan is in “at-risk” status for purposes of Section 430 of the Code, (ii) no reportable event within the meaning of Section 4043(c) of ERISA for which the 30-day notice requirement has not been waived has occurred, (iii) all premiums required to be paid to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) have been timely paid in full, (iv) no material liability (other than for premiums to the PBGC) under Title IV of ERISA has been or is reasonably expected to be incurred by TCF or any of its Subsidiaries, (v) the PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any such TCF Benefit Plan, (vi) to the knowledge of TCF, the most recent actuarial report for such TCF Benefit Plan is accurate in all material respects and (vii)

(g)Neither TCF nor any of its Subsidiaries sponsors, has sponsored or has any obligation with respect to any employee benefit plan that provides for any post-employment or post-retirement health or medical or life insurance benefits for retired or former employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, except as required by Section 4980B of the Code.

(h)All material contributions required to be made to any TCF Benefit Plan by applicable law or by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, and all material premiums due or payable with respect to insurance policies funding any TCF Benefit Plan, for any period in the prior two years through the date hereof, have been timely made or paid in full or, to the extent not required to be made or paid on or before the date hereof, have been fully reflected on the books and records of TCF.

(j)None of TCF or its Subsidiaries nor any TCF ERISA Affiliate nor, to the knowledge of TCF, 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 TCF Benefit Plans or their related trusts, TCF, any of its Subsidiaries, any TCF ERISA Affiliate or any person that TCF or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify to any material tax or material penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

(k)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) (i) entitle any employee, officer, director or independent contractor of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries to any payment or benefit, including severance pay, unemployment compensation, accrued pension

benefit, or a change in control bonus or retention payment, (ii) result in, accelerate, cause the vesting, exercisability, funding, payment or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any payment, right or other benefit to any employee, officer, director or independent contractor of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) accelerate the timing of or trigger any funding obligation under a rabbi trust or similar funding vehicle under any TCF Benefit Plan, or (iv) result in any limitation on the right of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries or TCF ERISA Affiliates to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from any TCF 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 TCF 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.

(l)No TCF Benefit Plan provides for the gross-up or reimbursement of Taxes under Section 409A or 4999 of the Code.

(m) Each material TCF Benefit Plan, if any, which as of the date of this Agreement is maintained outside of the United States or provides compensation or benefits primarily for the benefit of any employee or former employee of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries who primarily resides outside the United States (each, a “Foreign Plan”) is set forth on Section 3.11(m) of the TCF Disclosure Schedule.

Huntington is duly licensed or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned, leased or operated by it makes such licensing, qualification or standing necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Huntington. True and complete copies of the Articles of Restatement of Charter of Huntington, as amended (“Huntington Articles”), and Amended and Restated Bylaws of Huntington (“Huntington Bylaws”), as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have previously been made available by Huntington to TCF.

Huntington and TCF, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to make such filings within forty-five (45) days of the date of this Agreement. The S-4 shall also, to the extent required under the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, register the shares of New Huntington Preferred Stock (or depositary shares in lieu thereof) that will be issued in the transaction. Each of Huntington and TCF shall use their reasonable best efforts to have the S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the S-4 effective for so long as necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Huntington and TCF shall thereafter mail or deliver the Joint Proxy Statement to their respective shareholders.

(b) The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings (and in the case of the applications, notices, petitions and filings required to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals, use their reasonable best efforts to make such filings within forty-five (45) days of the date of this Agreement), to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger and the Bank Merger), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such third parties and Governmental Entities. Huntington and TCF shall each use, and shall each cause their applicable Subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to obtain each such Requisite Regulatory Approval and any approvals required for the Bank Merger as promptly as reasonably practicable. The parties shall cooperate with each other in connection therewith (including the furnishing of any information and any reasonable undertaking or commitments that may be required to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals) and shall respond as promptly as practicable to the requests of Governmental Entities for documents and information. Huntington and TCF 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 exchange of information, all the information relating to TCF or Huntington, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties

hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party will provide the other with copies of any applications and all correspondence relating thereto prior to filing and with sufficient opportunity to comment, other than any portions of material filed in connection therewith that contain competitively sensitive business or other proprietary information or confidential supervisory information filed under a claim of confidentiality. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated herein. Each party shall consult with the other in advance of any meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; and provided, that each party shall promptly advise the other party with respect to substantive matters that are addressed in any meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity which the other party does not attend or participate in, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity and applicable law.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Huntington and TCF shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing, and (ii) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as possible, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of businesses or assets of Huntington, TCF and their respective Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Huntington or TCF or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and neither Huntington nor TCF nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be permitted (without the written consent of the other party), to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with the foregoing or obtaining any permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of Governmental Entities that would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Merger (a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”).

(d) Huntington and TCF shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Joint Proxy Statement, the S-4 or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Huntington, TCF or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Huntington and TCF agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the S-4 will, at the time the S-4 and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, is filed and becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Joint Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the time of filing and the date of mailing to the respective shareholders of TCF or Huntington and at the time of the Huntington Meeting and the TCF Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a

material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement was made, not misleading, and (iii) any applications, notices and filings required in order to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals will, at the time each is filed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of Huntington and TCF further agrees that if it becomes aware that any information furnished by it would cause any of the statements in the S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take appropriate steps to correct the S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement.

(e) Huntington and TCF shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed.

(f) Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.1, TCF shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with Huntington and its Subsidiaries (including the furnishing of information and by making employees reasonably available) as is reasonably requested by Huntington in order to comply with the requirements of the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review and Dodd-Frank Act Stress Testing programs.

6.2     Access to Information.

(a) Subject to Section 9.7, upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws (including the Pandemic Measures), each of Huntington and TCF, for the purposes of verifying the representations and warranties of the other and preparing for the Merger and the other matters contemplated by this Agreement, shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors and other representatives of the other party, access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, personnel, information technology systems, and records, and each shall reasonably cooperate with the other party in preparing to execute after the Effective Time the conversion or consolidation of systems and business operations generally (including by entering into customary confidentiality, non-disclosure and similar agreements with such service providers and/or the other party), and, during such period, during normal business hours and in a manner so as not to interfere with normal business operations, each of Huntington and TCF shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, make available to the other party such information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such party may reasonably request. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the other party’s regular business operations during any such access. Neither Huntington nor TCF 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 Huntington’s or TCF’s, as the case may be, customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information (after giving due consideration to the existence of any common interest, joint defense or similar agreement between the parties) or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the

date of this Agreement or to the extent that TCF or Huntington, as the case may be, reasonably determines, in light of the Pandemic or the Pandemic Measures that such access would jeopardize the health and safety of any of its employees. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Each of Huntington and TCF shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the other party or any of such party’s Subsidiaries or representatives pursuant to Section 6.2(a) in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the confidentiality agreement, dated November 20, 2020, between Huntington and TCF (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(c) No investigation by either of the parties or their respective representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive the representations and warranties of the other set forth herein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give either party, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the other party prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each party shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

    

6.3     TCF Shareholder Approval.

(a) TCF shall take, in accordance with applicable law and the TCF Articles and TCF Bylaws, all actions necessary to convene a meeting of its shareholders (the “TCF Meeting”) to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the S-4 is declared effective for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite TCF Vote required in connection with this Agreement and the Merger. Except in the case of a TCF Adverse Recommendation Change, the Board of Directors of TCF shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the shareholders of TCF the Requisite TCF Vote, including by communicating to its shareholders its recommendation (and including such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement) that they approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “TCF Board Recommendation”) and shall not make a TCF Adverse Recommendation Change except in accordance with this Section 6.3. TCF shall engage a proxy solicitor reasonably acceptable to Huntington to assist in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders relating to the Requisite TCF Vote. However, subject to Section 8.1 and Section 8.2, if the Board of Directors of TCF, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that it would more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to continue to recommend this Agreement and the Merger, then, prior to the receipt of the Requisite TCF Vote, in submitting this Agreement and the Merger to its shareholders, the Board of Directors of TCF may withhold or withdraw or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Huntington the TCF Board Recommendation or may submit this Agreement and the Merger to its shareholders without recommendation (each, a “TCF Adverse Recommendation Change”) (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Board of Directors of TCF may communicate the basis for its TCF Adverse Recommendation Change to its shareholders in the Joint Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto; provided, that the Board of Directors of TCF may not take any actions under this sentence unless (i) it gives Huntington at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving

rise to its determination to take such action (including, in the event such action is taken by the Board of Directors of TCF in response to a TCF Acquisition Proposal, the latest material terms and conditions and the identity of the third party in any such TCF Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment or modification thereof, or describe in reasonable detail such other event or circumstances) and (ii) at the end of such notice period, the Board of Directors of TCF takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Huntington and after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that it would nevertheless more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to continue to recommend this Agreement and the Merger. Any material amendment to any TCF Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new TCF Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.3 and will require a new notice period as referred to in this Section 6.3.

(b) Except in the case of a TCF Adverse Recommendation Change, TCF shall adjourn or postpone the TCF Meeting, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of TCF Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting, TCF has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Requisite TCF Vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the TCF Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement and the Merger shall be submitted to the shareholders of TCF at the TCF Meeting, for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and the Merger and the other matters contemplated hereby, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve TCF of such obligation. TCF shall only be required to adjourn or postpone the TCF Meeting two (2) times pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.3(b).

6.4     Huntington Shareholder Approval.

(a) Huntington shall take, in accordance with applicable law and the Huntington Articles and Huntington Bylaws, all actions necessary to convene a meeting of its shareholders (the “Huntington Meeting”) to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the S-4 is declared effective for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Huntington Vote required in connection with this Agreement and the Merger. Except in the case of a Huntington Adverse Recommendation Change, the Board of Directors of Huntington shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the shareholders of Huntington the Requisite Huntington Vote, including by communicating to its shareholders its recommendation (and including such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement) that they approve the Merger and the Huntington Charter Amendment (the “Huntington Board Recommendation”) and shall not make a Huntington Adverse Recommendation Change except in accordance with this Section 6.4. Huntington shall engage a proxy solicitor reasonably acceptable to TCF to assist in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders relating to the Requisite Huntington Vote. However, subject to Section 8.1 and Section 8.2, if the Board of Directors of Huntington, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that it would more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to continue to recommend this Agreement and the Merger, then, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Huntington Vote, in submitting this Agreement and the Merger to its shareholders, the Board of Directors of Huntington may withhold or withdraw or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to TCF the Huntington Board

Recommendation or may submit this Agreement and the Merger to its shareholders without recommendation (each, a “Huntington Adverse Recommendation Change”) (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Board of Directors of Huntington may communicate the basis for its Huntington Adverse Recommendation Change to its shareholders in the Joint Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto; provided, that the Board of Directors of Huntington may not take any actions under this sentence unless (i) it gives TCF at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action and (ii) at the end of such notice period, the Board of Directors of Huntington takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by TCF and after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that it would nevertheless more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to continue to recommend this Agreement and the Merger.

(b) Except in the case of a Huntington Adverse Recommendation Change, Huntington shall adjourn or postpone the Huntington Meeting, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Huntington Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting, Huntington has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Requisite Huntington Vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Huntington Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement and the Merger shall be submitted to the shareholders of Huntington at the Huntington Meeting, for the purpose of voting on the approval of the Merger and the other matters contemplated hereby, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Huntington of such obligation. Huntington shall only be required to adjourn or postpone the Huntington Meeting two (2) times pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.4(b). Each of TCF and Huntington shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the TCF Meeting and the Huntington Meeting to occur as soon as reasonably practicable and on the same date.

6.5     Legal Conditions to Merger. Subject in all respects to Section 6.1 of this Agreement, each of Huntington and TCF shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts, in each case as promptly as practicable, (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal and regulatory requirements that may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and the Bank Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party that is required to be obtained by TCF or Huntington or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.6     Stock Exchange Listing. Huntington shall cause the shares of Huntington Common Stock and New Huntington Preferred Stock (or depositary shares in respect thereof) to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.

6.7     Employee Matters.

(a) Huntington shall provide the employees of TCF and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”), during the periods specified below for so long as they are employed following the Effective Time, with the following: (i) during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary thereof, annual base salary or wages, as applicable, that are no less than the annual base salary or wages in effect for each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2021, (A) target incentive opportunities (excluding equity-based awards but including any annual or short term cash incentive) that are no less favorable than those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) employee benefits (other than severance) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iii) during the period commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time, (A) target incentive opportunities (including equity-based awards) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Huntington and its Subsidiaries, and (B) employee benefits (other than severance) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Huntington and its Subsidiaries (excluding any frozen benefit plans of Huntington and its Subsidiaries or benefit plans that exclusively provide benefits to grandfathered employees of Huntington and its Subsidiaries); provided, that until such time as Huntington fully integrates the Continuing Employees into its plans, participation in the TCF Benefit Plans shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing standards, it being understood that the Continuing Employees may commence participating in the plans of Huntington and its Subsidiaries on different dates following the Effective Time with respect to different benefit plans. For a period beginning at the Effective Time and continuing through the first anniversary thereof, each Continuing Employee who is not party to an individual agreement providing for severance or termination benefits and is terminated under severance qualifying circumstances shall be eligible to receive severance benefits as set forth on Section 6.7(a) of the TCF Disclosure Schedule, subject to such employee’s execution (and non-revocation) of a release of claims.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plans of Huntington or its Subsidiaries in which any Continuing Employees become eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), Huntington and its Subsidiaries shall: (i) waive all pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees and their eligible dependents under any New Plans, except to the extent such pre-existing conditions, exclusions or waiting periods would apply under the analogous TCF Benefit Plan, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each such employee and their eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments or coinsurance and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time under a TCF Benefit Plan that provides health care benefits (including medical, dental and vision), to the same extent that such credit was given under the analogous TCF Benefit

Plan prior to the Effective Time, in satisfying any applicable deductible, co-payment, coinsurance or maximum out-of-pocket requirements under any New Plans, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize all service of such employees with TCF and its Subsidiaries for all purposes in any New Plan to the same extent that such service was taken into account under the analogous TCF Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time; provided, that the foregoing service recognition shall not apply (A) to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits for the same period of service, (B) for purposes of any defined benefit pension plan, (C) for purposes of any benefit plan that is a frozen plan or provides grandfathered benefits, or (D) for purposes of any equity incentive awards granted by Huntington.

(c) Effective as of the Effective Time, Huntington agrees to assume and honor all TCF Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms as of the date hereof, it being understood that this sentence shall not be construed to limit the ability of Huntington or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates to amend or terminate any TCF Benefit Plan to the extent that such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan. Huntington and TCF shall take the actions necessary to implement the commitments set forth in Section 6.7(c) of the Huntington Disclosure Schedule.

(d) If requested by Huntington in writing at least twenty (20) business days prior to the Effective Time, TCF shall cause any 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by TCF (the “TCF 401(k) Plan”) to be terminated effective as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. In the event that Huntington requests that any TCF 401(k) Plan be terminated, the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate, effective as of the Effective Time, in a 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by Huntington or one of its Subsidiaries (a “Huntington 401(k) Plan”). TCF and Huntington shall take any and all actions as may be required, including amendments to the TCF 401(k) Plan and/or Huntington 401(k) Plan to permit the Continuing Employees who are then actively employed to make rollover contributions to the Huntington 401(k) Plan of “eligible rollover distributions” (with the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) in the form of cash, notes (in the case of loans) or a combination thereof. TCF shall provide Huntington with evidence that the TCF 401(k) Plan has been terminated or amended, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 6.7(d); provided, that prior to amending or terminating the TCF 401(k) Plan, TCF shall provide the form and substance of any applicable resolutions or amendments to Huntington for review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) On and after the date hereof, any broad-based employee notices or communication materials (including any website posting) to be provided or communicated by TCF with respect to employment, compensation or benefits matters addressed in this Agreement or related, directly or indirectly, to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the prior prompt review and comment of Huntington, and TCF shall consider in good faith revising such notice or communication to reflect any comments or advice that Huntington timely provides.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee, officer, director or consultant of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates any right to continue in the employ or service of the Surviving Corporation, TCF, Huntington, or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Surviving Corporation, TCF, Huntington or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee,

officer, director or consultant of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any TCF Benefit Plan, New Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (ii) alter or limit the ability of the Huntington or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any particular TCF Benefit Plan, New Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.12, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person, including any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

6.8     Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each present and former director, officer or employee of TCF and its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the “TCF Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether arising before or after the Effective Time, arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another person and pertaining to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Surviving Corporation shall also advance expenses as incurred by the TCF Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; provided, that in the case of advancement of expenses the TCF Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking (in a reasonable and customary form) to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such TCF Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by TCF (provided, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims against the present and former officers and directors of TCF or any of its Subsidiaries arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid as of the date hereof by TCF for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in its good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, TCF, in consultation with, but only upon the consent of Huntington, may (and at the request of Huntington, TCF shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a

six-year “tail” policy under TCF’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap. If TCF purchases such a tail policy, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such tail policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each TCF Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, transfers all or substantially all of its assets or deposits to any other entity or engages in any similar transaction, then in each case, the Surviving Corporation will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation will expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8.

(d) The obligations of the Surviving Corporation, Huntington and TCF under this Section 6.8 shall not be terminated or modified in a manner so as to adversely affect any TCF Indemnified Party or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.8 without the prior written consent of the affected person.

6.9     Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest Huntington or the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, the then current officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take, or cause to be taken, all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by the other party, at the expense of the party who makes any such request.

6.10Advice of Changes. Huntington and TCF shall each promptly advise the other party of any effect, change, event, circumstance, condition, occurrence or development known to it (i) that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on it or (ii) which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein or that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VII; provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any breach shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 6.10 or the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 or 7.3 to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 or 7.3 to be satisfied; and provided, further, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall not cure any breach of, or noncompliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

6.11Dividends. After the date of this Agreement, each of Huntington and TCF shall coordinate with the other the declaration of any dividends in respect of Huntington Common Stock and TCF Common Stock and the record dates and payment dates relating thereto, it being the intention of the parties hereto that holders of TCF Common Stock shall not receive two dividends, or fail to receive one dividend, in any quarter with respect to their shares of TCF Common Stock and any shares of Huntington Common Stock any such holder receives in exchange therefor in the Merger.

6.12Corporate Governance; Foundation.

(a) Huntington shall take all appropriate action so that, as of the Effective Time, the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of Huntington shall be increased by five (5) for a total of eighteen (18) directors, and five (5) current directors of TCF shall be appointed to the Board of Directors of Huntington (the “TCF Directors”). Each of the TCF Directors shall be designated by TCF, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Huntington (not to be unreasonably withheld). One TCF Director shall not stand for re-election to the Huntington Board of Directors at Huntington’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders. In addition, as of the effective time of the Bank Merger, Gary Torgow shall be appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors of The Huntington National Bank. Following the Effective Time, the meetings of the Board of Directors of Huntington and, following the effective time of the Bank Merger, the Board of Directors of The Huntington National Bank shall rotate between (i) Columbus and (ii) Detroit / Minneapolis.

(b) The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall have dual headquarters for banking operations in Columbus, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan, with the headquarters of the consumer banking operations of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries being located in Columbus, Ohio and the headquarters of the commercial banking operations of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries being located in Detroit, Michigan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the headquarters of the Surviving Corporation and the main office of The Huntington National Bank shall be located in Columbus, Ohio. Huntington and TCF (A) agree that it is the intention of the Surviving Corporation to increase total employment in the planned TCF headquarters building located at the corner of Woodward and Elizabeth Streets in Detroit, Michigan to at least eight hundred (800) employees and (B) recognize the continued importance of Minneapolis, Midland and Chicago to the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries.

(c) At or prior to the Closing, Huntington shall contribute $50 million to establish a new Huntington Donor Advised Fund at the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan (the “Foundation”), dedicated to supporting primarily any markets in which Huntington operates. TCF’s current Executive Chairman and TCF’s current Chief Executive Officer shall recommend and allocate such funds in a manner generally consistent with Huntington’s recommended charitable giving guidelines as set forth on Section 6.12(c) of the Huntington Disclosure Schedule, and shall periodically report to Huntington regarding the activities, contributions and grants made by the Foundation. TCF’s current Executive Chairman and TCF’s current Chief Executive Officer may fully distribute the Foundation’s funds over a seven (7) year period from the Closing Date (and shall not fully distribute such funds prior to the end of such period). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing rights of TCF’s current Executive Chairman and TCF’s current Chief

Executive Officer with respect to the Foundation shall be personal to such individuals and shall not vest or create any rights in any of their successors, heirs or representatives.

6.13 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) TCF shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their officers, directors, agents, advisors and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or proposals with respect to, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations with any person concerning or (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have or participate in any discussions with, any person relating to, any TCF Acquisition Proposal, except to notify a person that has made or, to the knowledge of TCF, is making any inquiries with respect to, or is considering making, a TCF Acquisition Proposal of the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.13(a); provided, that, prior to the receipt of the Requisite TCF Vote, in the event TCF receives an unsolicited bona fide written TCF Acquisition Proposal, it may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished nonpublic information or data and participate in such negotiations or discussions to the extent that its Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside counsel, and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that failure to take such actions would be more likely than not to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, further, that, prior to or concurrently with providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing proviso, TCF shall have provided such information to Huntington, and shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to it than the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with TCF. TCF will, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any person other than Huntington with respect to any TCF Acquisition Proposal. TCF will promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) advise Huntington following receipt of any TCF Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to a TCF Acquisition Proposal, and the substance thereof (including the material terms and conditions of and the identity of the person making such inquiry or TCF Acquisition Proposal) and will keep Huntington reasonably apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations on a current basis, including any amendments to or revisions of the material terms of such inquiry or TCF Acquisition Proposal. TCF shall use its reasonable best efforts, subject to applicable law and the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of TCF, to enforce any existing confidentiality or standstill agreements to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in accordance with the terms thereof. During the term of this Agreement, TCF shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives not to on its behalf, enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other similar agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to and entered into in accordance with this Section 6.13(a)) relating to any TCF Acquisition Proposal. As used in this Agreement, “TCF Acquisition Proposal” shall mean, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any offer, inquiry or proposal relating to, or any third party indication of interest in, (i) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of 25% or more of the consolidated assets of TCF and its Subsidiaries or 25% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of TCF or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 25%

or more of the consolidated assets of TCF, (ii) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third party beneficially owning 25% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of TCF or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 25% or more of the consolidated assets of TCF, or (iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange or other business combination, reorganization or similar transaction involving TCF or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 25% or more of the consolidated assets of TCF.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent either party or its Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to a TCF Acquisition Proposal or Huntington Acquisition Proposal or from making any legally required disclosure to such party’s shareholders; provided, that such Rules and disclosures will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such Rules or any such disclosures would otherwise have under this Agreement.

6.14Public Announcements. TCF and Huntington shall each use their reasonable best efforts  to develop a joint communications plan,  to ensure that all press releases and other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consistent with such joint communications plan, and  except in respect of (i) any announcement required by applicable law or regulation, or a request by a Governmental Entity, (ii) communications that are substantially similar to communications previously approved pursuant to this Section 6.14, (iii) communications permitted by Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 or (iv) an obligation pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, TCF and Huntington agree to consult with each other and to obtain the advance approval of the other party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before issuing any press release or, to the extent practical, otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.15Change of Method. Huntington may at any time change the method of effecting the Merger if and to the extent requested by Huntington, and TCF agrees to enter into such amendments to this Agreement as Huntington may reasonably request in order to give effect to such restructuring; provided, however, that no such change or amendment shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration provided for in this Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of the Merger with respect to TCF’s shareholders or (iii) be reasonably likely to cause the Closing to be materially delayed or the receipt of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals to be prevented or materially delayed.

6.16Restructuring Efforts. If either TCF or Huntington shall have failed to obtain the Requisite TCF Vote or the Requisite Huntington Vote at the duly convened TCF Meeting or Huntington Meeting, as applicable, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, each of the parties shall in good faith use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate a restructuring of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (provided, however, that no party shall have any obligation to agree to (i) alter or change any material term of this Agreement, including the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration, in a manner adverse to such party or its shareholders or (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of the Merger with respect to such party or its shareholders) and/or resubmit this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (or as restructured pursuant to this Section 6.16) to its shareholders for approval.

6.17Takeover Restrictions. Neither TCF nor Huntington shall take any action that would cause any Takeover Restriction to become applicable to this Agreement, the Merger, or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and each of Huntington and TCF shall take all necessary steps to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby from any applicable Takeover Restriction now or hereafter in effect. If any Takeover Restriction may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each of Huntington and TCF will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Restriction on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, if necessary, challenging the validity or applicability of any such Takeover Restriction.

6.18Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). TCF and Huntington agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain those officers and directors of TCF subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (the “TCF Insiders”), both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that TCF Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in connection with the conversion of shares of TCF Common Stock, TCF Preferred Stock and TCF Equity Awards in the Merger, and for that compensatory and retentive purpose agree to the provisions of this Section 6.18. The Boards of Directors of Huntington and of TCF, 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 prior to the Effective Time, take all such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to cause (x) in the case of TCF, any dispositions of TCF Common Stock, TCF Preferred Stock or TCF Equity Awards by TCF Insiders and (y) in the case of Huntington, any acquisitions of Huntington Common Stock, New Huntington Preferred Stock or equity awards of Huntington into which the TCF Equity awards are converted by any TCF Insiders who, immediately following the Merger, will be officers or directors of Huntington subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, in each case pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to be exempt from liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

6.19Litigation and Claims. Each of Huntington and TCF shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law and regulation, promptly notify the other party in writing of any action, arbitration, audit, hearing, investigation, litigation, suit, subpoena or summons issued, commenced, brought, conducted or heard by or before, or otherwise involving, any Governmental Entity or arbitrator pending or, to the knowledge of Huntington or TCF, as applicable, threatened against Huntington, TCF or any of their respective Subsidiaries that (a) questions or would reasonably be expected to question the validity of this Agreement, the Bank Merger Agreement or the other agreements contemplated hereby or thereby or any actions taken or to be taken by Huntington, TCF, or their respective Subsidiaries with respect hereto or thereto, or (b) seeks to enjoin or otherwise restrain the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. TCF shall give Huntington the opportunity to participate at its own expense in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against TCF and/or its directors or affiliates relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed without Huntington’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.20Assumption of TCF Debt. Effective at the Effective Time (or at the effective time of the Bank Merger for any debt of TCF National Bank), Huntington or The Huntington National Bank, as applicable, shall, to the extent permitted thereunder and required thereby, assume the due and punctual performance and observance of the covenants to be performed by TCF or TCF National Bank pursuant to the definitive documents governing the short-term and long-term borrowings set forth on Section 6.20 of the TCF Disclosure Schedule, and the due and punctual payment of the principal of such borrowings (and premium, if any) and interest thereon. In connection therewith, (i) Huntington and TCF shall, and shall cause The Huntington National Bank and TCF National Bank respectively to, cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver any supplemental indentures, if applicable, and (ii) TCF shall, and shall cause TCF National Bank to, use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver any officer’s certificates or other documents, and to provide any opinions of counsel to the trustee thereof, in each case, required to make such assumption effective as of the Effective Time or the effective time of the Bank Merger, as applicable.

(d) No Injunctions or Restraints; Illegality. No order, injunction or decree issued by any court or Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Merger, the Bank Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in effect.

(i) All regulatory authorizations, consents, orders or approvals (x) from the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC and (y) set forth in Sections 3.4 and 4.4 which are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger and the Bank Merger, or those the failure of which to be obtained would reasonably be likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Huntington or the Surviving Corporation, shall have been obtained and shall remain in full force and effect and all statutory waiting periods in respect thereof shall have expired (such approvals and the expiration of such waiting periods being referred to herein as the “Requisite Regulatory Approvals”) and (ii) no such Requisite Regulatory Approval shall have resulted in the imposition of any Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition.

7.2     Conditions to Obligations of Huntington. The obligation of Huntington to effect the Merger is also subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by Huntington, at or prior to the Effective Time, of the following conditions:

(a) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of TCF set forth in (i) Sections 3.2(a) and 3.8(a) (in each case after giving effect to the lead-in to Article III) shall be true and correct (other than, in the case of Section 3.2(a), such failures to be true and correct as are de minimis) in each case as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), and (ii) Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(b) (with respect to TCF National Bank only), 3.2(c) (with respect to TCF National Bank only) and 3.3(a) (in each case, after giving effect to the lead-in to Article III) shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date). All other representations and warranties of TCF set forth in this Agreement (read without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect set forth in such representations or warranties but, in each case, after giving effect to the lead-in to Article III) shall be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date); provided, however, that for purposes of this sentence, such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be true and correct unless the failure or failures of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct, either individually or in the aggregate, and without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect set forth in such representations or warranties, has had or would reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on TCF or the Surviving Corporation. Huntington shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of TCF by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of TCF to the foregoing effect.

(b) Performance of Obligations of TCF. TCF shall have performed in all material respects the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing Date, and Huntington shall have received a certificate signed

on behalf of TCF by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of TCF to such effect.

(c) Federal Tax Opinion. Huntington shall have received the opinion of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Huntington, dated as of the Closing Date, to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In rendering such opinion, counsel may require and rely upon representations contained in certificates of officers of Huntington and TCF reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such counsel.

    

7.3     Conditions to Obligations of TCF. The obligation of TCF to effect the Merger is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver by TCF at or prior to the Effective Time of the following conditions:

(a) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Huntington set forth in (i) Sections 4.2(a) and 4.8(a) (in each case, after giving effect to the lead-in to Article IV) shall be true and correct (other than, in the case of Section 4.2(a), such failures to be true and correct as are de minimis) in each case as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), and (ii) Sections 4.1(a), 4.1(b) (with respect to The Huntington National Bank only), 4.2(c) (with respect to The Huntington National Bank only) and 4.3(a) (in each case, after giving effect to the lead-in to Article IV) shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date). All other representations and warranties of Huntington set forth in this Agreement (read without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect set forth in such representations or warranties but, in each case, after giving effect to the lead-in to Article IV) shall be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date); provided, however, that for purposes of this sentence, such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be true and correct unless the failure or failures of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct, either individually or in the aggregate, and without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect set forth in such representations or warranties, has had or would reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Huntington. TCF shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of Huntington by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of Huntington to the foregoing effect.

(b) Performance of Obligations of Huntington. Huntington shall have performed in all material respects the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing Date, and TCF shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of Huntington by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of Huntington to such effect.

(c) Federal Tax Opinion. TCF shall have received the opinion of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to TCF, dated as of the Closing Date, to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In rendering such opinion, counsel may require and rely upon representations contained in certificates of officers of Huntington and TCF reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such counsel.

8.1     Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Requisite TCF Vote or the Requisite Huntington Vote:

(a)     by mutual consent of Huntington and TCF in a written instrument;

(b)     by either Huntington or TCF 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 nonappealable or any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final nonappealable 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 or observe the obligations, covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(c)by either Huntington or TCF if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”), 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 obligations, covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(d)     by either Huntington or TCF (provided, that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, obligation, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a breach of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties (or any such representation or warranty shall cease to be true) set forth in this Agreement on the part of TCF, in the case of a termination by Huntington, or Huntington, in the case of a termination by TCF, which breach or failure to be true, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches by such party (or failures of such representations or warranties to be true), would constitute, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2, in the case of a termination by Huntington, or Section 7.3, in the case of a termination by TCF, and which is not cured by the earlier of the Termination Date and 45 days following written notice to TCF, in the case of a

termination by Huntington, or Huntington, in the case of a termination by TCF, or by its nature or timing cannot be cured during such period;

(e)     by Huntington, prior to such time as the Requisite TCF Vote is obtained, if TCF or the Board of Directors of TCF (i) withholds, withdraws, modifies or qualifies in a manner adverse to Huntington the TCF Board Recommendation, (ii) fails to make the TCF Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement, (iii) adopts, approves, recommends or endorses a TCF Acquisition Proposal or publicly announces an intention to adopt, approve, recommend or endorse a TCF Acquisition Proposal, (iv) fails to publicly and without qualification (A) recommend against any TCF Acquisition Proposal or (B) reaffirm the TCF Board Recommendation, in each case within ten (10) business days (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the TCF Meeting) after a TCF Acquisition Proposal is made public or any request by Huntington to do so, or (v) materially breaches its obligations under Section 6.3 or Section 6.13; or

(f)     by TCF, prior to such time as the Requisite Huntington Vote is obtained, if Huntington or the Board of Directors of Huntington (i) withholds, withdraws, modifies or qualifies in a manner adverse to TCF the Huntington Board Recommendation, (ii) fails to make the Huntington Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement, (iii) adopts, approves, recommends or endorses a Huntington Acquisition Proposal or publicly announces an intention to adopt, approve, recommend or endorse a Huntington Acquisition Proposal, (iv) fails to publicly and without qualification (A) recommend against any Huntington Acquisition Proposal or (B) reaffirm the Huntington Board Recommendation, in each case within ten (10) business days (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the Huntington Meeting) after a Huntington Acquisition Proposal is made public or any request by TCF to do so or (v) materially breaches its obligations under Section 6.4.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 8.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party in accordance with Section 9.5, specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.

8.2     Effect of Termination.

(a)     In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Huntington or TCF as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Huntington, TCF, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) Section 6.2(b) and this Section 8.2 and Article IX (other than Section 9.13) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Huntington nor TCF shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its fraud or Willful Breach of any provision of this Agreement occurring prior to termination (which, in the case of TCF, shall include the loss to the holders of its capital stock and of TCF Equity Awards of the economic benefits of the Merger (including the loss of premium offered to the shareholders of TCF), it being understood that TCF shall be entitled to pursue damages for such losses and to enforce the right to recover such losses on behalf of its shareholders and the holders of TCF Equity Awards in its sole

and absolute discretion, and any amounts received by TCF in connection therewith may be retained by TCF). “Willful Breach” shall mean a material breach of, or material failure to perform any of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, that is a consequence of an act or failure to act by the breaching or non-performing party with actual knowledge that such party’s act or failure to act would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in or constitute such breach of or such failure of performance under this Agreement.

(b) (i)    In the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, a bona fide TCF Acquisition Proposal shall have been communicated to or otherwise made known to the Board of Directors or senior management of TCF or shall have been made directly to its shareholders generally or any person shall have publicly announced (and not withdrawn at least two (2) business days prior to the TCF Meeting) a TCF Acquisition Proposal with respect to TCF and (A) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Huntington or TCF pursuant to Section 8.1(c) without the Requisite TCF Vote having been obtained or (B) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by Huntington pursuant to Section 8.1(d), and (C) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, TCF enters into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to a TCF Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same TCF Acquisition Proposal as that referred to above), then TCF shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such definitive agreement and the date of consummation of such transaction, pay Huntington, by wire transfer of same day funds, a fee equal to $238,800,000 (the “Termination Fee”); provided, that for purposes of this Section 8.2(b)(i), all references in the definition of TCF Acquisition Proposal to “25%” shall instead refer to “50%”.

    (ii)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Huntington pursuant to Section 8.1(e), then TCF shall pay Huntington, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Termination Fee as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of termination (and in any event, within three (3) business days thereafter).

(c) (i)     In the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, a bona fide Huntington Acquisition Proposal shall have been communicated to or otherwise made known to the Board of Directors or senior management of Huntington or shall have been made directly to its shareholders generally or any person shall have publicly announced (and not withdrawn at least two (2) business days prior to the Huntington Meeting) a Huntington Acquisition Proposal with respect to Huntington and (A) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either TCF or Huntington pursuant to Section 8.1(c) without the Requisite Huntington Vote having been obtained or (B) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by TCF pursuant to Section 8.1(d), and (C) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, Huntington enters into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to a Huntington Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Huntington Acquisition Proposal as that referred to above), then Huntington shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such definitive agreement and the date of consummation of such transaction, pay TCF, by wire transfer of same day funds, a fee equal to the Termination Fee; provided, that for purposes of this Section 8.2(c)(i), all references in the definition of Huntington Acquisition Proposal to “25%” shall instead refer to “50%”.

(ii)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated by TCF pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then Huntington shall pay TCF, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Termination Fee as

promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of termination (and in any event, within three (3) business days thereafter).

(iii)    As used in this Agreement, “Huntington Acquisition Proposal” shall mean, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any offer, inquiry or proposal relating to, or any third party indication of interest in, (i) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of 25% or more of the consolidated assets of Huntington and its Subsidiaries or 25% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Huntington or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 25% or more of the consolidated assets of Huntington, (ii) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third party beneficially owning 25% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Huntington or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 25% or more of the consolidated assets of Huntington, or (iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange or other business combination, reorganization or similar transaction involving Huntington or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 25% or more of the consolidated assets of Huntington.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but without limiting Section 8.2(e) or the right of any party to recover liabilities or damages arising out of the other party’s fraud or Willful Breach of any provision of this Agreement, the maximum aggregate amount of fees, liabilities or damages payable by TCF or Huntington under this Section 8.2 shall be equal to the Termination Fee. In no event shall TCF or Huntington be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(e)Each of Huntington and TCF acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if either party fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit which results in a judgment against the non-paying party for the Termination Fee or any portion thereof, such non-paying party shall pay the costs and expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. In addition, if TCF or Huntington, as the case may be, fails to pay the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.2, then such party shall pay interest on such overdue amounts (for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full) at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” (as announced by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or any successor thereto) in effect on the date on which such payment was required to be made for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid. The amounts payable by TCF and Huntington pursuant to Section 8.2(b) and Section 8.2(c), respectively, and this Section 8.2(e), constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, and, except in the case of fraud or Willful Breach, shall be the sole monetary remedy of the other party in the event of a termination of this Agreement specified in such applicable section.

9.1     Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. None of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement (other than the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive in accordance with its terms) shall survive the Effective Time, except for Section 6.8 and for those other covenants and agreements contained herein and therein which by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time.

9.2     Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after the receipt of the Requisite TCF Vote or the Requisite Huntington Vote; provided, however, that after the receipt of the Requisite TCF Vote or the Requisite Huntington Vote, there may not be, without further approval of such shareholders of TCF or Huntington, as applicable, any amendment of this Agreement that requires such further approval under applicable law. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

9.3     Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto 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 hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or satisfaction of any conditions for its benefit contained herein; provided, however, that after the receipt of the Requisite TCF Vote or the Requisite Huntington Vote, there may not be, without further approval of such shareholders of TCF or Huntington, as applicable, any extension or waiver of this Agreement or any portion thereof that requires such further approval under applicable law. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto 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.

9.4     Expenses. Except (i) with respect to costs and expenses of printing and mailing the Joint Proxy Statement and all filing and other fees paid to the SEC and any other Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, which shall be borne equally by Huntington and TCF, and (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, including in Section 8.2, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

9.5     Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or if by email, upon confirmation of receipt, (b) on the first (1st) business day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier or (c) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth (5th) business day following the date of mailing if delivered
