The Closing shall take place at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other location as the parties hereto may agree.

The Closing Statement will be accompanied by a schedule setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value. “Closing Net Asset Value” means (x) the value of the Acquired Assets less (y) the value of the Assumed Liabilities, as shown on the Closing Statement.

(b) If Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Net Asset Value, Seller may, within 20 days after delivery of Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice to Purchaser disagreeing with such calculation and which specifies Seller’s calculation of such amount and, in reasonable detail, Seller’s grounds for such disagreement. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees, and Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and the Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Net Asset Value.

(c) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(b), Purchaser and Seller shall, during the 15 days following such delivery, use their reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of Closing Net Asset Value, which amount shall not be less than the amount thereof shown in Purchaser’s calculations delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(a) nor more than the amount thereof shown in Seller’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(b).

or such firm as the case may be, the “Independent Accounting Firm”), promptly to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Net Asset Value. The Independent Accounting Firm shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth such calculation. The Independent Accounting Firm shall report on only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement or Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Net Asset Value as to which Seller has disagreed. Such report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller. The cost of such review and report shall be borne (i) by Purchaser if the difference between Final Net Asset Value and Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Net Asset Value delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(a) is greater than the difference between Final Net Asset Value and Seller’s calculation of Closing Net Asset Value delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(b), (ii) by Seller if the first such difference is less than the second such difference and (iii) otherwise equally by Purchaser and Seller.

(d) Purchaser and Seller agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants and Affiliates to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Net Asset Value and in the conduct of the audits and reviews referred to in Section 2.5, including the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

(e) If Estimated Net Asset Value exceeds Final Net Asset Value, Purchaser Bank shall be entitled to receive a payment from Bank, or from Seller on behalf of Bank, equal to the amount of such excess. If Final Net Asset Value exceeds Estimated Net Asset Value, Bank shall be entitled to receive a payment from Purchaser Bank, or from Purchaser on behalf of Purchaser Bank, equal to the amount of such excess. “Final Net Asset Value” means the Closing Net Asset Value (i) as shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(a), if no notice of disagreement with respect thereto is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(b); or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed by Purchaser and Seller pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the independent accountant’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(c); provided that in no event shall Final Net Asset Value be more than Seller’s calculation of Closing Net Asset Value delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or less than Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Net Asset Value delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(a).

(f) Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place within 10 days after the Final Net Asset Value has been determined by wire transfer of same day funds to the account designated by the party entitled to such payment, and shall be accompanied by interest on such amount from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the date of payment.

ARTICLE VI

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

6.1 Regulatory Matters.

(a) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including obtaining any third party consent which may be required to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including, for purposes of this Section 6.1, required in order to prevent the termination of any contract or agreement to be transferred to Purchaser Bank at Closing or to avoid any penalty or other fee under such contracts and agreements, in each case arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) and (ii) obtain (and cooperate with the other party to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity which is required or advisable to be obtained by Seller or Purchaser, respectively, or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, and to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings (including, if required, notification under the HSR Act or any other antitrust or competition law), 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. Purchaser and Seller 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 Seller, Bank or Purchaser, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appear 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. 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 of Purchaser and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Purchaser to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restrictions, in connection with obtaining the foregoing permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of Governmental Entities or third parties that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Branches or Purchaser (measured on a scale relative to the Branches taken as a whole) following the Closing (a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”).

(b) Purchaser shall not enter into a definitive agreement with respect to any other transaction (a “Secondary Transaction”) to the extent that such Secondary Transaction would be reasonably likely to cause the receipt of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals to be delayed beyond the Outside Date.

(c) Purchaser and Seller shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning Purchaser, Seller, Bank and their respective Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Purchaser, Seller, Bank or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

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

6.2 Access to Information. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, Seller agrees to provide Purchaser and Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors, agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Representatives”), from time to time prior to the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, such information with respect to Bank and Bank Subsidiaries and their respective businesses, financial conditions and operations and such access to the properties, books and records and personnel of Bank and Bank Subsidiaries as Purchaser shall reasonably request, which access shall occur during normal business hours and shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of Bank or Bank Subsidiaries.

6.3 Public Disclosure. Seller and Purchaser shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement or making any other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) regarding the terms of this Agreement or any of the transactions

contemplated hereby, and neither shall issue any such press release or make any such statement or disclosure without the prior approval of the other (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by law or the rules of any market or exchange on which the shares of Seller or Purchaser may be listed for trading, in which case the party proposing to issue such press release or make such public statement or disclosure shall consult with the other party before issuing such press release or making such public statement or disclosure to allow such party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release or public statement in advance of such publication, to the extent practicable.

6.4 Employees; Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Employment.

(i) Offers of Employment. Purchaser shall, or shall cause Purchaser Bank to, (A) offer to employ as of the Closing Date the Branch Employees, (B) offer to employ as of the Closing Date those non-executive employees of Bank and Bank Subsidiaries who are not Branch Employees and whose names are set forth on a schedule to be jointly developed and mutually agreed upon between the parties prior to the Closing Date (the “Non-Executive Business Employees”), and (C) offer to employ as of the Closing Date those executive level (with an annual salary of $100,000 or above) employees of the Bank and Bank Subsidiaries whose names are set forth on a schedule to be jointly developed and mutually agreed upon between the parties prior to the Closing Date (the “Executive Business Employees”), in the case of each of (B) and (C) above, whom Purchaser, in its sole discretion, chooses to extend an employment offer prior to the Closing Date. In addition to the foregoing, the parties agree that Purchaser shall, or shall cause Purchaser Bank to, offer to employ as of the Closing Date each of the employees of Seller (including Bank and Bank Subsidiaries) whose names are set forth on Schedule 6.4(a)(i) and collectively with the Branch Employees, the Non-Executive Business Employees and the Executive Business Employees, the “Business Employees”) and, pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(iv), Seller (including Bank and Bank Subsidiaries) shall not interfere with the making of offers of employment to any Business Employee. Any such offers of employment to a Business Employee shall be made no later than 20 Business Days prior to the Closing Date to be effective as of the Closing Date (subject to Section 6.4(a)(ii) hereof). Except as provided in Section 6.4(a)(ii) hereof with respect to Leave Recipients, the Business Employees to whom Purchaser or Purchaser Bank makes an offer of employment prior to the Closing Date and who accept such offer and commence active employment with Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries effective as of the Closing Date shall collectively be referred to as “Transferred Employees.”

(ii) Special Provisions for Leave Recipients. With respect to any Business Employee who is not actively at work on the Closing Date as a result of a leave of absence (including without limitation due to disability, military leave with reemployment rights under federal law and leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993) (collectively, the “Leave Recipients”),

Purchaser’s or Purchaser Bank’s offer of employment to any such Business Employee shall be contingent on such Leave Recipient’s return to active status within six months of the Closing Date. If the Leave Recipient returns to active status on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, such Leave Recipient shall be considered a Transferred Employee.

(iii) Transfer Date. The employment of Transferred Employees with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, as applicable, shall be effective as of the time of the Closing; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the employment of Leave Recipients will become effective as provided in Section 6.4(a)(ii) above. The date on which a Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, as applicable, becomes effective is hereafter referred to as that Transferred Employee’s “Transfer Date.” Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect to any employee of Seller and its Affiliates (including Bank and Bank Subsidiaries) who does not become a Transferred Employee and, with respect to Transferred Employees, Purchaser shall not assume any liability or obligations with respect to periods of service prior to the Transfer Date.

(iv) Cooperation; Communications. During the period commencing on July 6, 2010 and continuing through the Closing Date, Seller shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, assist and cooperate with Purchaser by (A) permitting Purchaser to review compensation data and job descriptions (if any) for any Business Employees at Purchaser’s reasonable request; (B) cooperating with Purchaser to identify which Business Employees will be beneficial for the future operations of Bank; and (C) making each Business Employee available for interviews with Purchaser at Purchaser’s reasonable request. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of any Business Employee offered employment by Purchaser as a Transferred Employee, and the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (including Bank and Bank Subsidiaries) shall not make offers of employment (including through any internal job-posting sites) to any of the Business Employees (other than those Business Employees to whom Purchaser does not make an offer of employment) for a period beginning on July 6, 2010 and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. Any communications by Seller or its Affiliates (including Bank and Bank Subsidiaries) with the Business Employees prior to the Closing Date in respect of the matters pertaining to this Agreement shall be subject to the prior reasonable approval of Purchaser.

(v) Updated Employee Schedules. Within ten (10) Business Days following July 6, 2010 (or with respect to the Non-Executive Business Employees and Executive Business Employees, as soon as such employees are agreed upon as provided in Section 6.4(a)(i)), Seller furnished Purchaser with a schedule that includes the information provided in Section 1.1-a of the Disclosure Schedule (with respect to the Branch Employees) for the Business Employees. Seller shall furnish to Purchaser updated Schedules of all Branch Employees and all other Business Employees (reflecting the hiring or termination of employees in the ordinary course consistent with past practice) and other changes in the information previously provided, from time to time, but not less frequently than monthly with a final list to be provided to Purchaser two Business Days prior to the Closing.

(b) Employee Benefit Plan Liabilities. Seller shall retain and be liable for all liabilities under any Bank Benefit Plans and shall make or provide any required payments or benefits thereunder, including without limitation, the payment to the Transferred Employees of amounts in respect of any earned and unused vacation or other paid time-off with respect to periods prior to the applicable Transfer Date, as soon as reasonably practicable following the applicable Transfer Date. Effective as of the applicable Transfer Date, Seller shall cause any unvested accounts of the Transferred Employees under the applicable defined contribution plans of the Seller to be fully vested. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to welfare benefits and workers’ compensation, Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for claims for welfare benefits and for workers’ compensation, in each case that are incurred by or with respect to any Transferred Employee (and his or her spouse, dependents or beneficiaries) before his or her Transfer Date.

(c) Compensation and Benefits of Transferred Employees. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide the Transferred Employees with: (i) for a period of one year following the Closing Date, base salary or wages at a rate that is not less than that in effect immediately prior to the Closing and job duties and responsibilities that are materially consistent in the aggregate with those performed immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) with respect to performance periods from the applicable Transfer Date through December 31, 2010, cash incentive compensation opportunities that provide substantially similar cash incentive opportunities as those in effect immediately prior to the Closing; and (iii) for a period of one year following the Closing Date, health care, group life and disability insurance benefits and the availability of a tax-qualified defined contribution savings plan that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the health care, group life and disability insurance benefits and tax-qualified defined contribution savings plan benefits provided under the Bank Benefit Plans as described in Section 3.11(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (such health care, group life and disability insurance benefits and defined contribution savings plan benefits referred to herein as the “Comparable Bank Benefit Plans”). Effective on and after the Closing, Purchaser shall arrange for each Transferred Employee to be given service credit for his or her length of service with Seller, Bank and their respective Affiliates prior to the Closing for eligibility to participate and vesting under all employee benefit plans and arrangements covering the Transferred Employees, and vacation accrual following the Closing Date, to the same extent such service credit was recognized by Seller for similar purposes under the Comparable Bank Benefit Plan, and subject to Seller timely providing Purchaser with such data in the form reasonably requested by Purchaser; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Purchaser be required to recognize a Transferred Employee’s prior service credit with Seller or its Affiliates under any benefit plan or arrangement of Purchaser or its Affiliates for which similarly-situated employees of Purchaser do not receive credit for prior service.

(d) No Third-Party Rights or Amendment to Benefit Plans. The provisions of this Section 6.4 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Bank Benefit Plan or any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates;

(ii) alter or limit the ability of Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Bank Benefit Plan, Employment Agreement or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date; or (iii) to confer upon any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant, including any Transferred Employee, any right to employment or continued employment or continued service with Bank or Bank Subsidiaries, or constitute or create an employment agreement with any employee.

6.5 Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation.

(a) Noncompetition.

(i) For a period of five years from the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), except as permitted by this Section 6.5(a), Seller shall not (and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to), without the prior written consent of Purchaser, (i) engage in or carry on any Competitive Activities, or (ii) have an equity interest in any Person that engages in any Competitive Activities. “Competitive Activities” means the business of providing consumer, small business and/or middle market commercial banking products and services in the States of Kansas and Missouri; provided, however, that the operation (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the business of providing consumer, small business and/or middle market commercial banking products and services) of (i) the Wal-Mart Locations, (ii) locations in additional Wal-Mart stores in Kansas (excluding ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County and Wyandotte County) and in the St. Louis, Springfield and Columbia, Missouri Metropolitan Statistical Areas, (iii) locations on military installations or (iv) locations in Leavenworth, Kansas shall not constitute “Competitive Activities”; provided, further, that “Competitive Activities” shall in no event be deemed to include performing any act or conducting any business for the benefit of Purchaser or Purchaser Bank and required by the Transition Services Agreement.

(ii) This Section 6.5(a) shall cease to apply upon the occurrence of an arm’s length transaction in which any Person acquires or combines with Seller in a transaction in which (A) Persons who are directors of Seller immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction do not constitute upon the consummation of such transaction a majority of the board of directors of the Person which survives such transaction (or the publicly traded parent thereof) and (B) the holders of the common stock of Seller hold upon the consummation thereof 49% or less of the shares of equity securities normally entitled to vote in the election of directors of such Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5(a), nothing in this Agreement shall preclude, prohibit or restrict Seller or any of its Affiliates from (i) acquiring, owning or holding up to 5% of the outstanding securities of any entity whose securities are listed and traded on a national securities exchange or market or any securities required to be registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended; or (ii) holding or exercising rights of ownership with respect to any security in a fiduciary capacity or otherwise for the benefit of a third party not affiliated with Seller.

(iii) If Seller breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 6.5(a), Purchaser and Purchaser Bank shall have the right in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Purchaser or Purchaser Bank under law or in equity (including the right and remedy to recover monetary damages) to have such provision specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to each of Purchaser and Purchaser Bank and that money damages may not provide an adequate remedy to Purchaser or Purchaser Bank. Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.5(a) are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Purchaser and constitute a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Seller Nonsolicitation of Employees. Seller agrees that, during the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will (or will assist or encourage others to), directly or indirectly, solicit to hire (or cause or seek to cause to leave the employ of Purchaser Bank or any of its successors) any Transferred Employee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement or otherwise shall prohibit any general solicitations of employment not directed solely to the employees of Purchaser Bank. In no event during the Restricted Period shall Seller or any of its Affiliates hire any Key Employee unless such person has not been an employee of Purchaser Bank or its Affiliates for at least six months. As used herein, “Key Employee” means any executive officer of Bank, any of Bank’s department or function heads, or any client relationship management team member that is a Transferred Employee.

(c) Purchaser Nonsolicitation of Employees. Purchaser agrees that, in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, until the first anniversary of the date of termination of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Seller, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates will (or will assist or encourage others to), directly or indirectly, solicit to hire (or cause or seek to cause to leave the employ of Bank or any Bank Subsidiary or any of their successors) any employee of Bank or any Bank Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement or otherwise shall: (i) prohibit any general solicitations of employment not directed solely to the employees of the Bank or any Bank Subsidiary, or (ii) prevent Purchaser or its Affiliates from hiring any Person who contacts Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on his or her own initiative without any solicitation by or encouragement from Purchaser or such Affiliate (other than general solicitations not directed solely to the employees of the Bank or any Bank Subsidiary) and no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed violated by any inadvertent solicitation of any individual employee. If Purchaser breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 6.5(c), Seller shall have the right in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Seller under law or in equity (including the right and remedy to recover monetary damages) to have such provision specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to Seller and that money damages may not provide an adequate remedy to Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.5(c) are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Seller and

constitute a material inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.6 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Closing Date any further action is reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, the requesting party.

6.7 Transition Services Agreement. At the Closing, Seller, a Subsidiary of Seller and Purchaser Bank will enter into the Transition Services Agreement on substantially the terms set forth in Schedule 6.7 pursuant to which Seller and its Subsidiary will provide certain services to Purchaser Bank for up to six (6) months following the Closing (subject to extension as set forth in such agreement) and Purchaser Bank will pay Seller on the terms set forth in such agreement.

6.8 Insurance. With respect to events or circumstances that occurred or existed prior to the Closing Date that are covered by Sellers’ or its Affiliates’ insurance policies that are in effect prior to the Closing Date (other than to the extent such events or circumstances relate exclusively to the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities), Purchaser Bank, or Purchaser on behalf of Purchaser Bank, may make claims under such policies and programs and Seller shall take such actions as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser and/or Purchaser Bank in connection with the tendering of such claims to the applicable insurers under such insurance policies and shall provide Purchaser Bank, or Purchaser on behalf of Purchaser Bank, with the net proceeds it realizes with respect to such claims; provided, however, (i) Purchaser shall notify, or shall cause Purchaser Bank to notify, Seller of all such coverage claims made and (ii) Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, deliberately take any action or deliberately omit to take any action for the purpose of limiting Purchaser’s or Purchaser Bank’s ability to make all claims and recover proceeds in respect hereof. Seller agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with Purchaser and/or Purchaser Bank in the administration and handling of insurance claims under this Section 6.8. With respect to any open claims against Seller’s insurance policies relating to Bank or any Bank Subsidiary (other than in respect of the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities) on the Closing Date (provided that expected proceeds of which are reflected as an Acquired Asset on the Closing Statement), Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts (at Purchaser Bank’s sole cost and expense) to pursue such claims and obtain such expected proceeds.

6.9 Additional Agreements Regarding Tax Matters.

(a) Allocation of Purchase Price. No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller the proposed allocation of the total consideration paid by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Agreement (the “Total Consideration”) among the Acquired Assets (the “Proposed Allocation”) for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code. Seller agrees that, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Proposed Allocation , Seller shall either approve such Proposed Allocation, or shall object in writing delivered to Purchaser

specifying the objections to the Proposed Allocation. If the parties cannot reach agreement as to the allocation of the Total Consideration, then either Purchaser or Seller may submit such dispute for resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm under procedures substantially the same as those provided for under Section 2.5(c) for resolving disputed items or amounts in the determination of Closing Net Asset Value. The Independent Accounting Firm will determine only those issues in dispute regarding the allocation of the Total Consideration. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination will be made within 30 days after submission of the disputed items, or as soon thereafter as possible, and will be set forth in a written statement delivered to Seller and Purchaser. The allocation of the Total Consideration among the Acquired Assets, as finalized by the Independent Accounting Firm if necessary, shall be deemed final and conclusive and shall be binding on Purchaser and Seller for all purposes under this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller agree to file all federal and state Tax Returns and other Tax information returns and reports (including, without limitation, IRS Form 8594) in accordance with such allocation, as finalized by the Independent Accounting Firm if necessary, and not to take, or cause to be taken, any action that would be inconsistent with such allocation, except as required by a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code, or any similar provision of applicable state, local or foreign law. Any adjustment to the purchase price pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets by reference to the item or items to which such adjustment is attributable.

(b) Interim Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, in determining the Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Period included in any Interim Period

(i) Property Taxes shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Interim Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Interim Period that are in the Pre-Closing Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Interim Period; and

(ii) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date.

(c) Cooperation. Purchaser, Seller and Bank shall each at their own expense cooperate with each other and make available to each other such Tax data and other information as may be reasonably required in connection with (i) the preparation or filing of any Tax Return, election, consent or certification, or any claim for refund, (ii) any determinations of liability for Taxes, or (iii) any Tax Claim (“Tax Data”). Such cooperation shall include making their respective employees and independent auditors reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis for all reasonable purposes, including to sign Tax forms and consents, to provide explanations and background information and to permit the copying of books, records, schedules, workpapers, notices, revenue agent reports, settlement or closing agreements and other documents containing the Tax Data (“Tax Documentation”). The Tax Data and the Tax Documentation shall be retained until one year after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (including extensions thereof); provided, however, that in the event an audit, examination, investigation or other proceeding has been instituted prior to the expiration of an applicable statute of limitations, the Tax Data and Tax Documentation relating thereto shall be retained until there is a final determination thereof (and the time for any appeal has expired).

(d) Transfer Taxes. All applicable sales and transfer Taxes and filing, recording, registration, stamp, documentary and other similar Taxes and fees (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the documents giving effect to such transactions will be shared equally between Seller and Purchaser.

(e) Tax Treatment of Payments. The parties agree to treat any indemnification payment required to be made pursuant to Article IX (other than the portion treated as interest) as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(f) Survival. All rights and obligations under this Section 6.9 shall survive the Closing Date and continue until the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitation (including all period of extension).

6.10 Post-Closing Confidentiality.

(a) Following the Closing, the confidentiality obligations of Purchaser under the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to information relating to the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities shall terminate. Following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and advisors to, keep confidential and not use for its benefit or for the benefit of any other Person, any and all Bank Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, except to the extent Seller or its Affiliates deem necessary to comply with its obligations under applicable law or regulation or Tax or accounting requirements, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, use any Bank Confidential Information for any purpose. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall not be deemed to prohibit the disclosure or use by the Seller of Bank Confidential Information that Seller or its Affiliates deem necessary (a) to prepare or complete any required Tax Return or financial statements, (b) in connection with any reports, applications, statements, testimony, audits or other matter before or by a Governmental Entity, (c) to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, (d) to defend, resolve or settle any suit, claim, demand or other litigation, or in response to any summons or subpoena, or (e) to exercise or enforce its rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller or its Affiliates or any of their officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents or advisors (collectively, “Disclosing Party”) is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Bank Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party will provide Purchaser with notice of such request or requirement as promptly as practicable (unless not permitted by applicable law) so that Purchaser and/or Purchaser Bank may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Agreement. The Disclosing Party will cooperate reasonably with Purchaser and/or Purchaser Bank in connection with Purchaser’s and/or Purchaser Bank’s efforts to seek such an order or remedy. If Purchaser and/or Purchaser Bank does not obtain such protective order or other remedy or waives the Disclosing Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.10, the Disclosing Party will furnish only that portion of the Bank Confidential Information that is

legally required, and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such disclosed information. Any disclosure made as permitted by this paragraph (c) shall not be a breach of this Section 6.10.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Seller or any of its Affiliates in breach of this Agreement, or (ii) becomes available to Seller after the Closing Date on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Purchaser, provided that such source is not, known to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation with respect to such information.

(d) Seller acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of the Bank Confidential Information there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder, that any such breach or threatened breach may result in irreparable harm to Purchaser, and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, Purchaser will be entitled to appropriate equitable and injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving actual loss, in addition to whatever remedies either of them might have at law or equity.

6.11 Cooperation. Following the Closing, each party agrees to cooperate in good faith to provide information to the other party that is reasonably necessary in connection with regulatory, legal, accounting and similar matters of Seller and its Affiliates on the one hand and Purchaser Bank and its Affiliates on the other (and not relating to any dispute, litigation or arbitration between the parties hereto or their Affiliates). The parties agree that any information provided pursuant to this provision shall be kept confidential and shall not be used for any purpose except for the reason given in the request.

6.12 Certain Other Matters. Seller and its Affiliates shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist and shall cooperate with Purchaser (at no expense to Seller) in seeking any tax incentives, exemptions, credits, abatements or other available benefits from the States of Missouri and/or Kansas which may be available to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or Purchaser’s ownership of, and operation of the business of, Purchaser Bank following the Closing.

6.13 Use of Name. From and after the Closing Date, Seller, Bank and Bank Subsidiaries shall cease using (including at the Wal-Mart Locations) and shall have no right in, to and under the Tradename and any other Intellectual Property exclusively used by Bank and Bank Subsidiaries in the conduct of the business of the Branches. The parties agree that any and all such rights shall be rights of Purchaser Bank and its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing Date. The parties agree to cooperate and discuss in good faith appropriate arrangements relating to the shared use, after Closing, of any Intellectual Property that is currently used in connection with the Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities, on the one hand, and by Seller or its Affiliates, on the other hand (such arrangements to be on terms consistent with past practice).

6.14 Additional Loans; Certain Securities. At any time prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller may

mutually agree in writing that any consumer loan(s) or municipal securities owned as of July 6, 2010 by Seller or its Affiliates (other than Bank and its Subsidiaries) shall constitute an “Additional Loan.” At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser a schedule of all consumer loans and municipal securities then owned by Seller or its Affiliates (other than Bank and its Subsidiaries) not already designated as an Additional Loan and shall offer to Purchaser the opportunity to designate any such loans and securities as Additional Loans. All Additional Loans shall be transferred to Purchaser Bank in accordance with Section 2.1. For the avoidance of doubt, no servicing rights associated with the Additional Loans shall be transferred to Purchaser Bank at or prior to the Closing. The parties shall agree on the appropriate adjustment to the Purchase Price for any Additional Loans that are transferred to Purchaser Bank prior to the Closing.

6.15 Merger of Bank and Seller Affiliate. Subject to receipt of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals, Seller agrees to cause Bank to merge with and into Armed Forces Bank, N.A. immediately following the Closing and in any event not later than the close of business on the Closing Date, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Bank shall cease.

(e) by Purchaser, if Seller has breached or is in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller contained in this Agreement in any

respect, which breach would, individually or together with all such other then uncured breaches by Seller, constitute grounds for the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) not to be satisfied on the Closing Date and such breach is not cured within 15 Business Days after written notice thereof to Seller.

applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

(d) Any indemnity payment required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) – (x) of Section 9.4(a) or Section 9.4(b) shall be made within five days after the indemnified party makes written demand upon the indemnifying party, and in no case later than five days prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the relevant Tax authority.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 9.5, if a third party claim includes or would reasonably be expected to include both a claim for Taxes that are Excluded Taxes and a claim for Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes, and such claim for Taxes that are Excluded Taxes is not separable from such a claim for Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes, Seller (if the claim for Taxes that are Excluded Taxes exceeds or reasonably would be expected to exceed in amount the claim for Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes) or otherwise Purchaser (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to control the defense of such third party claim (such third party claim, a “Third Party Tax Claim”). In such case, the other party (Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, the “Non-Controlling Party”) shall be entitled to participate fully (at the Non-Controlling Party’s sole expense) in the conduct of such Third Party Tax Claim and the Controlling Party shall not settle such Third Party Tax Claim without the consent of such Non-Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The costs and expenses of conducting the defense of such Third Party Tax Claim shall be reasonably apportioned based on the relative amounts of the Third Party Tax Claim that are Excluded Taxes and that are not Excluded Taxes.

9.5 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) The party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) following the assertion of any claim, or the incurrence of any Damages, that might give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Promptly after the assertion by any third party of any claim against any Indemnified Party that in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party may result in the incurrence by such Indemnified Party of Damages for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice describing in reasonable detail (to the extent known) such claim and such Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such claim (including the employment of counsel, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party) at such Indemnifying Party’s expense. Any failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to provide prompt notice shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such claim. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that the

Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel in any such action or claim if (i) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to, or the assertion of which would be adverse to the interests of, the Indemnified Party or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by counsel that the assumption of such defense by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest (provided that in the case of clause (i) and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties, other than local counsel). In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense of any claim, and shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel if the Indemnified Party shall have failed, within 15 Business Days after having been notified by the Indemnified Party of the existence of such claim as provided above, to either (A) acknowledge that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim and assume the defense of such claim or (B) to notify the Indemnified Party in writing that it shall assume the defense of such claim. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any settlement of any such action or claim effected without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.5(b), the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such claim (not to be unreasonably withheld), unless the settlement releases the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim and does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party each agrees to fully cooperate in all matters covered by this Section 9.5(b), including, as required, the furnishing of books and records, personnel and witnesses and the execution of documents, in each case as necessary for any defense of such third party claim and at no cost to the other party (provided that any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred in connection with the foregoing shall be considered part of Damages hereunder). Anything in this Section 9.5(b) to the contrary notwithstanding, the control of any claims or proceedings in respect of or relating to Taxes and the procedures related thereto shall be governed exclusively by Section 9.4(e).

9.6 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing Date, this Article IX shall provide the exclusive remedy for any of the matters addressed herein or other claims arising out of this Agreement, except in the case of fraud in connection with or relating to this Agreement or with respect to matters for which the remedy of specific performance, injunctive relief or other non-monetary equitable remedies are available.

9.7 Damages Net of Insurance. For the purposes of this Article IX, “Damages” shall be net of any insurance or other recoveries (net of any related deductible or expenses incurred in securing such recovery) actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates as a result of the liability or loss giving rise to the right

of indemnification (any such source of recovery a “Collateral Source”). If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under this Article IX is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article IX had such determination been made at the time of such payment, and any excess recovery from a Collateral Source shall be applied to reduce any future payments to be made by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX.

It is understood and agreed that the specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and neither party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Disclosure Schedule in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any

obligation, item or matter not described in this Agreement or included in the Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule, the Transaction Documents and other documents and the instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than the Confidentiality Agreement.

10.6 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law.

(b) The parties hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware (the “Federal Courts”), or, if jurisdiction in the Federal Courts is not available, the courts of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Courts”), in respect of any claim, dispute or controversy relating to or arising out of the negotiation, interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (any such claim being a “Covered Claim”); (ii) irrevocably agree to request that the Federal Courts, or as applicable, the Delaware Courts adjudicate any Covered Claim on an expedited basis and to cooperate with each other to assure that an expedited resolution of any such dispute is achieved; (iii) waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding raising a Covered Claim that any of the parties hereto is not subject to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts or the Federal Courts or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may be inappropriate or inconvenient or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts; and (iv) irrevocably agree to abide by the rules of procedure applied by the Federal Courts, or as applicable, the Delaware Courts (including the procedures for expedited pre-trial discovery) and waive any objection to any such procedure on the ground that such procedure would not be permitted in the courts of some other jurisdiction or would be contrary to the laws of some other jurisdiction. The parties further agree that any Covered Claim has a significant connection with the State of New York, and will not contend otherwise in any proceeding in any court of any other jurisdiction. Each party represents that it has agreed to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts and the Delaware Courts in respect of Covered Claims after being fully and adequately advised by legal counsel of its own choice concerning the procedures and law applied in the Federal Courts and the Delaware Courts and has not relied on any representation by any other party or its Affiliates, representatives or advisors as to the content, scope, or effect of such procedures and law, and will not contend otherwise in any proceeding in any court of

any jurisdiction. Each party further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered airmail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in this Agreement, such service of process to be effective upon acknowledgment of receipt of such registered mail. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(c) Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party certifies and acknowledges that: (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver; (ii) each party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver; (iii) each party makes this waiver voluntarily; and (iv) each party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.6.

10.7 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any party fails to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance in such event, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

10.8 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

10.9 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to a Subsidiary of Purchaser. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

10.10 Joinder. Immediately following the formation of Purchaser Bank, and in any event prior to or at the Closing, Purchaser shall cause Purchaser Bank to execute a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller.
