6.3 TCF Shareholder Approval.

(a)  <omitted> 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Adverse Recommendation Change”) (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Board of Directors of TCF may communicate the basis for its TCF Adverse Recommendation Change to its shareholders in the Joint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.
