AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is effective as of November 10, 2016, by and between T Acquisition, Inc. (“Parent”), a Texas corporation, and T Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”), and joined in by Tectonic Advisors, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Tectonic”), solely for the purposes expressly set forth herein.

WHEREAS, the Company owns all of the common stock of T Bank, N.A., a national banking association with its principal office in Dallas, Texas (the “Bank”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) and the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) have determined that the business combination transaction provided for in this Agreement is advisable and in the best interests of the respective companies and their shareholders pursuant to which the Parent will, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, acquire the Company through the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (“Merger Sub”) with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”), as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a condition and inducement for Parent to enter into this Agreement, (i) each member of the Company Board and board of directors of the Bank, each executive officer of the Company and the Bank who is also a shareholder of the Company and certain shareholders of the Company listed on Confidential Schedule A have each entered into a Voting Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Voting Agreement”), whereby such shareholders of the Company have agreed to vote the shares of Company Stock owned by such person in favor of this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (ii) each of the directors of the Company and the Bank that is not party to an employment agreement has entered into a Director Support Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (the “Director Support Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Tectonic has joined in this Agreement to guarantee certain obligations of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Sections 4.14, 6.12 and 9.03, and otherwise ensure that Parent and Merger Sub have the resources, financial and otherwise, to satisfy Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations, under this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto, and Tectonic with respect to Article IV-A and Sections 4.14, 6.12 and 9.03, desire to set forth certain representations, warranties and covenants made by each to the other as an inducement to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and certain additional agreements related to the transactions contemplated hereby:

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other

good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth below, the parties, intending to be legally bound, undertake, promise, covenant and agree with each other as follows:

(a)

The directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time, along with Messrs. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, will become the directors of the Surviving Corporation and will serve from the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the certificate of formation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as otherwise provided by law.

(b)

The officers of the Company at the Effective Time, along with Mr. A. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (serving as Chairman of the Board), will become the officers of the Surviving Corporation and will hold office from the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as otherwise provided by law.

(a)	Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (“Parent Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time

shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

(b)	Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding as a share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c)

Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for the Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares, shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and converted into and become the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 1.06(a)(v)) in cash, without interest (in the aggregate for all holders of Company Stock entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration under the terms of this Agreement, the “Merger Consideration”).

(d)

Each share of Company Stock converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Stock and the holders of shares of Company Stock designated by a book-entry representing a non-certificate share of Company Stock (a “Book-Entry Share”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Stock, except the right to receive following the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration for such shares in accordance with this Section 1.05.

(e)

Any shares of Company Stock that are owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company, Parent or their respective Subsidiaries (other than (i) shares of Company Stock held, directly or indirectly, in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like or otherwise held in a fiduciary capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties and (ii) shares of Company Stock held in respect of a debt previously contracted) shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration therefor (the “Cancelled Shares”).

(a)	For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(i)

“Adjusted Equity” means the Company’s Tier 1 Capital (as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 225, Appendix A), calculated as of the Calculation Date, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”) consistently applied plus any unrealized gains or minus any unrealized losses (as the case may be) in the Company’s securities portfolio, and minus all extraordinary items of the Company and the Bank related to the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent such extraordinary items have not been paid or accrued prior to the

Calculation Date, including: (A) the cost of terminating any employment-related agreements and obligations (including any non-competition agreements, option agreements or equity based plans); (B) accruals for expenses not paid, prorated for a partial year for the year in which the Merger closes (including a reasonable estimate for year-end bonuses), (C) the transaction costs, fees, expenses and commissions (including, without limitation, all legal, accounting, and financial advisory fees and expenses, including any cost to obtain any opinion as to the financial fairness of the Merger) incurred by the Company in connection with the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (D) the accrual through the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP of any future benefit payments due under any salary continuation, deferred compensation, severance, stay-pay or retention bonus amounts or change in control payments or other similar agreements of the Company or the Bank in such amounts listed on Confidential Schedule 1.06(a)(i)(D) (all of which are set forth on Confidential Schedule 1.06(a)(i)(D), including the name of the recipient, the amount of such payment, and, with respect to any stay-pay or retention bonus arrangements, the date through which the recipient must remain employed by the Surviving Corporation to receive the stay-pay or retention bonus amount); (E) premiums or additional costs in connection with procuring the Tail Coverage described in Section 5.22; (F) any federal or state income Tax obligations, franchise Tax obligations or real property Tax obligations incurred prior to the Effective Time; (G) the accrual or payment of all of the costs, fees, expenses and penalties necessary to be paid by the Company in connection with any contract termination required pursuant to this Agreement; (H) a mutually agreeable estimate of the cost of preparing the federal and state income Tax Returns of the Company for the period from January 1, 2016, through the Closing Date, and (I) other amounts mutually agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the calculation of the Company’s Tier 1 Capital reflects any of the items listed in (A) – (I) of this Section 1.06(a)(i), such items shall not be deducted from the Company’s Tier 1 Capital a second time.  For purposes of the calculation of Adjusted Equity, the amount of the Adjusted Equity shall reflect the after-tax amount of the foregoing adjustments calculated in accordance with GAAP, regardless of whether or not such foregoing adjustments are required by GAAP.  The calculation of the Adjusted Equity will be prepared and presented in the form attached hereto as Confidential Schedule 1.06(b).

(ii)	“Calculation Date” means the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, or such other date as mutually agreeable to the parties hereto.

(iii)

“Equity Adjustment” means the difference of (A) Minimum Equity, minus (B) Adjusted Equity; provided, that if the amount of the Adjusted Equity is greater than the Minimum Equity, then the Equity Adjustment shall be zero.

(iv)	“Minimum Equity” means $20,000,000.

(v)	“Per Share Merger Consideration” means cash in an amount equal to the quotient of (A) Total Cash Consideration, divided by (B) the number of shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(vi)	“Total Cash Consideration” means $32,525,000 less an amount equal to the product of (A) $1.626, multiplied by (B) the Equity Adjustment.

(b)

The Company shall, at least three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, provide Parent with a preliminary calculation of the Adjusted Equity. If Parent disagrees with such calculation of the Adjusted Equity, the Company and Parent shall meet to resolve any such disagreement. If the Company and Parent cannot resolve any such disagreement, then BKD, LLP (the “Accounting Firm”) shall resolve any such disagreement prior to the Closing Date which resolution shall be final and binding upon the Company and Parent. The calculation of the Adjusted Equity will be prepared and presented in the form set forth in Confidential Schedule 1.06(b).

(a)	Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint, at Parent’s expense, a payment agent (the “Exchange Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent hereunder.

(b)

Immediately prior to the Effective Time and in accordance with the Company’s instruction pursuant to Section 1.07, the Company shall pay, and the Company’s exchange agent shall distribute to, the holders of Company Stock entitled to receive the Special Dividend pursuant to Section 1.07 the amount of the Special Dividend calculated in accordance with Section 1.07.

(c)

At least 15 calendar days before the Closing Date (unless the parties mutually agree to a later date), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of shares of Company Stock entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.05 (collectively, the “Holders”) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Share(s) shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificate(s) or instructions relating to the Book-Entry Share(s) (or affidavits of loss in lieu of any Certificate(s)) to the Exchange Agent and shall be substantially in such form as shall be prescribed by the Exchange Agent) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering Certificate(s) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration upon surrender of any Certificate. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to provide Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Letter of Transmittal and other transfer documents, or any amendments or supplements thereto, prior to disseminating the Letter of Transmittal and other transfer documents to the Holders, and Parent shall consider in good faith and shall cause the Exchange Agent to consider in good faith any comments proposed by Company.

(d)

After the later of the Effective Time or five (5) Business Days after surrender by the Holder to the Exchange Agent of its Certificate(s) or instructions relating to the Book-Entry Share(s), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange Agent shall pay and distribute to such Holder the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by its Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Share(s), as applicable. The Exchange Agent will pay and distribute the Per Share Merger Consideration on the date on which the Effective Time occurs to any Holder from whom a properly completed Letter of Transmittal has been received at least five (5) Business Days before the Effective Time.  Until so surrendered, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share(s) shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive, without interest, the Per Share Merger Consideration, and any dividends or distributions to which such Holder is entitled, pursuant to this Article I.

(e)

In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares representing Company Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of Company, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be delivered pursuant to Section 1.10(b) in exchange therefor to a Person other than the Person in whose name the

Company Stock so surrendered is registered if the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares formerly representing such Company Stock shall be properly endorsed, if a Certificate, or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance to a person other than the registered Holder or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable. The Exchange Agent (or, subsequent to the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Per Share Merger Consideration and any other cash amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Holder of Company Stock (including with respect to any Dissenting Shares) such amounts as the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided that any transfer or other similar Taxes payable in connection with the Merger (other than such Taxes required to be paid by reason of the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered Holder of Company Stock with respect to which such payment is made) shall be borne and paid by Parent. To the extent the amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be, and paid over to the applicable Tax authorities, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder of shares of Company Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be.

(f)

After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Company of any shares of Company Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of Company Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Company Stock is presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.06 and the procedures set forth in this Article I.

(g)

Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Holders as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be provided to Parent; provided, that to the extent at any time prior to such first anniversary any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed would have to be delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, the Exchange Agent shall first notify Parent and, at Parent’s option, such portion shall instead be provided to Parent. Any former shareholders of Company who have not theretofore complied with this Article I shall thereafter look only to Parent with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon. None of Parent, Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(h)	In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent

or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(i)

Subject to the terms of the agreement between Parent and the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”), Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the validity of any Letter of Transmittal and compliance by any Holder with the procedures and instructions set forth herein and therein.

or offer to settle, any such demand for payment, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such holder of Dissenting Shares as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under applicable law.

(a)

As of the Closing Date, the members of the board of directors of the Company shall submit resignations from the board of directors to be effective as of the Effective Time, and the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be comprised of such individuals as contemplated by Section 1.04(a).

(b)

As of the Closing Date, the members of the board of directors of the Bank shall submit resignations from the board of directors to be effective as of the Effective Time, and the Surviving Corporation shall thereafter elect new members of the board of directors of the Bank; provided, however, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to appoint ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, to serve on the board of directors of the Bank after the Closing Date.

(a)

On a date mutually acceptable to Parent and the Company within thirty (30) days after the receipt of all necessary regulatory, corporate and other approvals and the expiration of any mandatory waiting periods (the “Closing Date”), as may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties for a reasonable period to facilitate a Calculation Date on month-end in the event the parties so agree, a meeting will take place at which the parties to this Agreement will exchange certificates, letters and other documents in order to determine whether all of the conditions set forth in Article VII and Article VIII have been satisfied or waived or whether any condition exists that would permit a party to this Agreement to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that the Closing Date shall not be on a date prior to (i) January 1, 2017, or (ii) the 11th calendar day of the month in which the Closing will occur.  If none of the foregoing conditions then exists or if no party elects to exercise any right it may have to terminate this Agreement, then the parties will execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”).

(b)

The Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall become effective on the date and at the time specified in the certificate of merger, reflecting the Merger, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas in accordance with the TBOC (the “Effective Time”).  The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Effective Time to occur on the same date as the Closing Date, but in no event will the Effective Time occur more than one (1) day after the Closing Date.

(c)	The Closing will take place at the offices of Norton ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ US LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ at 10 a.m. on the Closing Date, or at such other time and place to which the parties may agree.

(e)	A certificate, dated as of a recent date, issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), duly certifying that the deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (the “FDIA”);

(f)	A letter, dated as of a recent date, from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, to the effect that the Company is a registered bank holding company under the BHC Act;

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Approval, the Company Board (including any committee thereof) may, if it determines it has received an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii), as the case may be, would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s (or applicable committee’s) fiduciary duties under applicable Law, withdraw, withhold, modify, amend or qualify the Company Recommendation or approve or recommend such Superior Proposal (a “Change in Recommendation”), if, but only if (i) the Company notifies Parent in writing of its intention to take such action at least four (4) Business Days prior to taking such action, specifying the material terms of the Superior Proposal, identifying the Person(s) making such Superior Proposal and providing Parent an unredacted copy of any proposed agreements with the Person making such Superior Proposal; (ii) during such four (4) Business Day period (the “Notice Period”), the Company shall have, and shall have caused its financial and legal advisors to have, negotiated in good faith with Parent (if Parent so desires) to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the Company Board not to effect a Change in Recommendation so that the Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal; (iii) following the Notice Period, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with legal counsel) that the failure to effect a Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii), as the case may be, would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s (or applicable committee’s) fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (iv) following the Notice Period, the Company Board determines, after consultation with its legal counsel and financial advisors, and after considering any adjustments proposed in writing by Parent, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (v) the Company is not in material breach of Section 5.19 or this Section 5.20.  In the event any such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal and is thereafter materially amended or modified, as the case may be, the Company shall give a new notice to Parent in accordance with this Section 5.20(a) (except that the Notice Period shall be two (2) Business Days instead of four (4) Business Days).

(c)	by Parent:

(i)

if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties (or any such representation or warranty shall cease to be true and correct) set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company or any other agreement contemplated hereby, which breach or failure to be true and correct, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches (or failures of such representations and warranties to be true and correct), would constitute, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, as the case may be; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(c) shall not be available to Parent if it is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.  If Parent desires to terminate this Agreement because of an alleged breach or inaccuracy as provided in this Section 9.01(c), then it must notify the Company in writing of its intent to terminate stating the reason therefor.  The Company shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such notice to cure the alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, if the breach or failure to be true and correct is capable of being cured;

(a)	If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof, then no party to this Agreement will have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement; provided, however, that:

(i)	no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages resulting from any willful breach of this Agreement or actual fraud;

by either party pursuant to Sections 9.01(b)(ii) – (iii), then the non-terminating party shall pay to the terminating party a termination fee equal to $250,000, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such written notice of termination; provided, however, that the terminating party is not otherwise in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement and such breach is not the primary cause of the non-terminating party’s inability to satisfy the conditions set forth in the applicable subsection of Section 9.01(b);

(ii)

by Parent pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iv) or Section 9.01(c)(i) or by the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(i) (for any reason other than set forth in Sections 9.01(d)(ii) or 9.01(d)(iii), as provided for below in Sections 9.03(b)(v) and 9.03(b)(vi), respectively), then the non-terminating party shall pay to the terminating party a termination fee equal to $250,000, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such written notice of termination;

(vii)

by Parent pursuant to Section 9.01(c)(ii), then the Company shall pay to Parent, by wire transfer of same day funds, a termination fee equal to the $1,500,000, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such written notice of termination from Parent; or

(viii)

in the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, (A) the Company shall have received a bona fide Acquisition Proposal from any Person (other than the parties hereto), and (B) thereafter this Agreement is terminated (1) by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i), (2) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.01(c)(i) or (3) by Parent or Company pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iv), and (C) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, then the Company shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such definitive agreement and the date of consummation of such transaction, pay Parent, by wire transfer of same day funds, a termination fee equal to the amount set forth in Section 9.03(b)(v) (which shall be reduced by any amount paid pursuant to Section 9.03(b)(ii); provided, that, solely for the purposes of this Section 9.03(b)(viii), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 10.12, except that all references in such definition to 15% shall be changed to 50%.

(c)

Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 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 a party fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to Section 9.03(b), then (i) the paying party shall reimburse the non-paying party for all reasonable costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in the collection of such overdue amount, including in connection with any related claims, actions or proceedings commenced and (ii) the paying party shall pay to the non-paying party interest on such amount from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be

EXHIBIT C

This DIRECTOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November __, 2016, by and between T Acquisition, Inc. (“Parent”), a Texas corporation, and _____________, an individual resident of the State of Texas (“Director”). Terms with their initial letters capitalized and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, Parent and T Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for Parent’s acquisition of the Company through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as the wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Director have agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for receipt of such confidential information and trade secrets and in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and in the Merger Agreement intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent and Director agree as follows;

(a)

Director acknowledges that he has received substantial, valuable consideration, including confidential trade secret and proprietary information relating to the identity and special needs of current customers and, to the extent as of the Closing Date Director has actual knowledge of, prospective customers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, the Company’s and any Company Subsidiary’s current services and, to the extent as of the Closing Date Director has actual knowledge of, prospective services, the Company’s and any Company Subsidiary’s business projections and market studies, the Company’s and any Company Subsidiary’s business plans and strategies, the Company’s and any Company Subsidiary’s studies and information concerning special services unique to the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Director further acknowledges and agrees that this consideration constitutes fair and adequate consideration for the execution of the non-solicitation and non-competition restrictions set forth below. Accordingly, other than in any capacity for or on behalf of Parent or any

subsidiary of Parent or as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, Director agrees that Director during the term hereof will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as an employee, partner, officer, director or shareholder or in any other capacity whatsoever:

i.	solicit the business of any person or entity who is a customer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date on behalf of any other insured depository institution for the purpose of providing financial services to such person or entity;

ii.

acquire any interest in (directly or indirectly), charter, operate or enter into any franchise or other management agreement with any insured depository institution that has a location within 50 miles of any location of the Company or Company Subsidiary (the “Noncompete Area”) (but notwithstanding the foregoing, Director may (1) retain any existing ownership interest in any insured depository institution or its affiliates as disclosed on Schedule 2 attached hereto, (2) acquire an ownership interest in any publicly-traded depository institution or its affiliates, so long as that ownership interest does not exceed 4.9% of the total number of shares outstanding of that depository institution or its affiliates, and (3) invest in an existing mutual fund that invests, directly or indirectly, in such insured depository institutions);

iii.	serve as an officer, director, employee, agent or consultant to any insured depository institution that has a location within the Noncompete Area;

iv.	establish or operate a branch or other office of an insured depository institution within the Noncompete Area; or

v.

recruit, hire, assist others in recruiting or hiring, discuss employment with, or refer others concerning employment, any person who is, or within the 12 months preceding the Closing Date was, an employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; but nothing in this Section 2(a)(v) applies to an employee hired in response to a public advertisement or general solicitation that is not primarily directed to employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

Director may not avoid the purpose and intent of this Section 2(a) by engaging in conduct within the Noncompete Area from a remote location through means such as telecommunications, written correspondence, computer generated or assisted communications, or other similar methods.

(b)	If any court of competent jurisdiction should determine that the terms of this Section 2 are too broad in terms of time, geographic area, lines of commerce or otherwise, that court is to modify and revise any such terms so that they comply with applicable law.

(c)

Director agrees that (i) this Agreement is entered into in connection with the sale to Parent of the goodwill of the business of T Bank, N. A., a national banking association with its principal office in Dallas, Texas (the “Bank”), (ii) Director is receiving valuable consideration for this Agreement, (iii) the restrictions imposed upon Director by this Agreement are essential and necessary to ensure Parent acquires the goodwill of the Bank and (iv) all the restrictions (including particularly the time and geographical limitations) set forth in this Agreement are fair and reasonable.

IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.

and conditions of their agreement relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, whether written or oral, that may exist between the parties with respect thereto. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no conditions, usage of trade, course of dealing or performance, understanding or agreement purporting to modify, vary, explain or supplement the terms or conditions of this Agreement is binding unless hereafter made in writing and signed by the party to be bound, and no modification will be effected by the acknowledgment or acceptance of documents containing terms or conditions at variance with or in addition to those set forth in this Agreement.
