<B><P>ITEM 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.</P>
</B>
<P></A>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsidiaries of Irwin Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") have entered into agreements for the sale of certain loans and branches to enhance the Corporation's capital in connection with its strategic restructuring.<BR>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On June 30, 2009, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company ("IUBT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, entered into a Loan Sale and Transfer of Servicing Agreement ("Loan Sale Agreement") with First Financial Bank, National Association, a national banking association located in Hamilton, Ohio ("First Financial").  Under the Loan Sale Agreement, IUBT sold approximately $150 million of commercial loans at par to First Financial. <BR>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to customary terms, conditions and covenants, the Loan Sale Agreement provides First Financial with the opportunity, during the next 180 days, to require IUBT to repurchase any loan that is found to be in breach of a representation or warranty in the Loan Sale Agreement, after IUBT is first given the opportunity to cure any such breach over a 10 to 20-business day period (each, a "Non-Compliant Loan").  Under the Loan Sale Agreement, IUBT has deposited $5 million of the purchase price paid by First Financial into an escrow account to fund the repurchase of Non-Compliant Loans.  The Loan Sale Agreement provides that any funds remaining in the escrow account at the end of the 180-day repurchase period are to be released to IUBT.<BR>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On July 1, 2009, IUBT and First Financial entered into a separate Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the "Purchase and Assumption Agreement") under which IUBT agreed to sell three branches located in Carmel, Greensburg and Shelbyville, Indiana to First Financial.  The Purchase and Assumption Agreement provides for First Financial to assume the deposit liabilities at the three branches at par, and for IUBT to sell loans in a minimum aggregate amount of $50 million, also at par, to First Financial.  The purchase price of these loans and the other assets being sold by IUBT will be offset against the amount owed by IUBT to First Financial for assuming IUBT's deposits and other liabilities under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement.  The transactions described in the Purchase and Assumption Agreement are subject to the receipt of First Financial's required regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions, and the Corporation expects the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2009.  <BR>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Purchase and Assumption Agreement obligates IUBT to pay a termination fee of $5 million if the agreement is terminated for any reason, other than due to a breach by First Financial that is not or cannot be cured within 30 days of notification, or if the transaction is not consummated by October 31, 2009.  Upon execution of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, IUBT deposited $90 million into a deposit account at First Financial (the "Special Deposit").  The Purchase and Assumption Agreement provides that IUBT is to use the Special Deposit to fund the expected payment it will make to First Financial at the closing of the transaction. The Purchase and Assumption Agreement also provides that IUBT may withdraw the funds in the Special Deposit only upon (i) the payment by IUBT to First Financial of the termination fee provided for under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, or (ii) the payment by IUBT to First Financial of any and all amounts due at the closing of the branch sales.  Other withdrawals by IUBT from the Special Deposit will require the prior approval of First Financial.  Any funds remaining in the Special Deposit following either the termination of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement or the consummation of the transactions set forth therein shall be returned to IUBT. <BR>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Corporation closed a number of separate transactions between June 26 and June 30, 2009 for the sale of approximately $40 million in the aggregate of loans to other purchasers.<BR>
<BR>
<B>ITEM 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.<BR>
<BR>
</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On June 28, 2009, Mr. Bradley J. Kime, one of the Corporation's named executive officers, communicated his intention to resign from his current position as President of the Corporation's commercial banking line of business to concentrate his efforts on helping manage the Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company commercial loan portfolio.  Mr. Kime's transition will be effective as of July 1, 2009.  A number, but not all, of Mr. Kime's duties will be assumed by John Wilcox, who has over 25 years of banking experience, including nearly four years in a leadership role in our commercial banking segment. <BR>
<BR>
<B>ITEM 8.01.  Other Events.<BR>
<BR>
</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On July 1, 2009, the Corporation issued a press release announcing certain asset sales and managerial changes.  The press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.<BR>

ITEM 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Subsidiaries of Irwin Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") have entered into agreements for the sale of certain loans and branches to enhance the Corporation's capital in connection with its strategic restructuring.
On June 30, 2009, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company ("IUBT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, entered into a Loan Sale and Transfer of Servicing Agreement ("Loan Sale Agreement") with First Financial Bank, National Association, a national banking association located in Hamilton, Ohio ("First Financial").  Under the Loan Sale Agreement, IUBT sold approximately $150 million of commercial loans at par to First Financial.
In addition to customary terms, conditions and covenants, the Loan Sale Agreement provides First Financial with the opportunity, during the next 180 days, to require IUBT to repurchase any loan that is found to be in breach of a representation or warranty in the Loan Sale Agreement, after IUBT is first given the opportunity to cure any such breach over a 10 to 20-business day period (each, a "Non-Compliant Loan").  Under the Loan Sale Agreement, IUBT has deposited $5 million of the purchase price paid by First Financial into an escrow account to fund the repurchase of Non-Compliant Loans.  The Loan Sale Agreement provides that any funds remaining in the escrow account at the end of the 180-day repurchase period are to be released to IUBT.
On July 1, 2009, IUBT and First Financial entered into a separate Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the "Purchase and Assumption Agreement") under which IUBT agreed to sell three branches located in Carmel, Greensburg and Shelbyville, Indiana to First Financial.  The Purchase and Assumption Agreement provides for First Financial to assume the deposit liabilities at the three branches at par, and for IUBT to sell loans in a minimum aggregate amount of $50 million, also at par, to First Financial.  The purchase price of these loans and the other assets being sold by IUBT will be offset against the amount owed by IUBT to First Financial for assuming IUBT's deposits and other liabilities under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement.  The transactions described in the Purchase and Assumption Agreement are subject to the receipt of First Financial's required regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions, and the Corporation expects the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2009.
The Purchase and Assumption Agreement obligates IUBT to pay a termination fee of $5 million if the agreement is terminated for any reason, other than due to a breach by First Financial that is not or cannot be cured within 30 days of notification, or if the transaction is not consummated by October 31, 2009.  Upon execution of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, IUBT deposited $90 million into a deposit account at First Financial (the "Special Deposit").  The Purchase and Assumption Agreement provides that IUBT is to use the Special Deposit to fund the expected payment it will make to First Financial at the closing of the transaction. The Purchase and Assumption Agreement also provides that IUBT may withdraw the funds in the Special Deposit only upon (i) the payment by IUBT to First Financial of the termination fee provided for under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, or (ii) the payment by IUBT to First Financial of any and all amounts due at the closing of the branch sales.  Other withdrawals by IUBT from the Special Deposit will require the prior approval of First Financial.  Any funds remaining in the Special Deposit following either the termination of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement or the consummation of the transactions set forth therein shall be returned to IUBT.
In addition, direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Corporation closed a number of separate transactions between June 26 and June 30, 2009 for the sale of approximately $40 million in the aggregate of loans to other purchasers.
ITEM 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 28, 2009, Mr. Bradley J. Kime, one of the Corporation's named executive officers, communicated his intention to resign from his current position as President of the Corporation's commercial banking line of business to concentrate his efforts on helping manage the Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company commercial loan portfolio.  Mr. Kime's transition will be effective as of July 1, 2009.  A number, but not all, of Mr. Kime's duties will be assumed by John Wilcox, who has over 25 years of banking experience, including nearly four years in a leadership role in our commercial banking segment.
ITEM 8.01.  Other Events.
On July 1, 2009, the Corporation issued a press release announcing certain asset sales and managerial changes.  The press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

unanticipated deterioration in the credit quality or collectability of our loan and lease assets, including deterioration resulting from the effects of natural disasters (including a pandemic);
difficulties in accurately estimating any future repurchases of residential mortgage, home equity, or other loans or leases due to alleged violations of representations and warranties we made when selling these loans and leases to the secondary market or in securitizations;
