This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is dated as of November 1, 2018, by and among Enterprise Financial Services Corp, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Enterprise Bank & Trust, a Missouri state-chartered trust company with banking powers and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Parent Bank”), Trinity Capital Corporation, a New Mexico corporation (“Company”), and Los Alamos National Bank, a national banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of Company (“Company Bank”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of each of Parent and Company have (i) determined that this Agreement and the business combination and related transactions contemplated hereby are fair to and in the best interests of their respective entities and shareholders; and (ii) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are consistent with and in furtherance of their respective business strategies;

WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions, of this Agreement, (i) Company will merge with and into Parent, with Parent as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and thereafter (ii) Company Bank will merge with and into Parent Bank, with Parent Bank as the surviving entity (the “Bank Merger”);

WHEREAS, for federal income Tax purposes, the parties intend that the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code (a “368 Reorganization”) and intend for this Agreement to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the Regulations;

WHEREAS, as a material inducement and as additional consideration to Parent to enter into this Agreement, each of the directors and certain officers of Company and principal holders of the Company Common Stock, solely in their capacity as shareholders of Company, have entered into a voting agreement with Parent dated as of the date hereof, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Voting Agreements”), pursuant to which each such Person has agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of Company Stock owned by such Person in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Voting Agreements;

WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement and to prescribe certain conditions thereto; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire that capitalized terms used herein shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms when they are first used herein or as otherwise specified in Article 8 hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Company shall merge with and into Parent in accordance with the DGCL and the NMBCA. Upon consummation of the Merger, at the Effective Time the separate corporate existence of Company shall cease and Parent shall survive and continue to exist as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (Parent, as the surviving entity in the Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Surviving Entity”).

Section 1.02 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Entity upon consummation of the Merger at the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 1.03 Directors and Officers of Surviving Entity.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.03(b), the directors and officers of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, serve as directors and officers of the Surviving Entity.

(b) Subject to compliance with applicable Law (including, to the extent applicable, the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ), prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take all necessary corporate or other action so that from and after the Effective Time, at the election of Parent, either (i) the size of the board of directors of Parent (the “Board of Parent”) is increased by two members, (ii) the size of the Board of Parent is increased by one member and one of the then incumbent directors resigns from the Board of Parent, or (iii) two of the then incumbent directors resign from the Board of Parent, and in either case two members of the Company Board who are independent with respect to Parent for purposes of the listing requirements of NASDAQ, selected by mutual agreement of Company and Parent (the “Company Directors”), are elected or appointed to the Board of Parent to fill the vacancies on the Board of Parent created by such increase or resignation, as applicable. Parent, through the Board of Parent and subject to the Board of Parent’s fiduciary duties to the shareholders of Parent, shall take all necessary action to nominate the Company Directors for election to the Board of Parent in the proxy statement relating to the first annual meeting of the shareholders of Parent following the Closing. Until the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Company Board to maintain at least two directors who are members of the Company Board on the date of this Agreement and who are independent with respect to Parent for purposes of the listing requirements of NASDAQ.

Section 1.04 Bank Merger.

(a)    At such time following the Effective Time as Parent may determine, Company Bank will be merged with and into Parent Bank upon the terms and with the effect set forth in the Plan of Bank Merger, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

- 2 -    

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.04(c), the directors and officers of Parent Bank immediately prior to the effective time of the Bank Merger shall, from and after such effective time, serve as directors and officers of the Surviving Bank.

(c) Subject to compliance with applicable Law, prior to the effective time of the Bank Merger, Parent Bank shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take all necessary corporate or other action so that from and after the effective time of the Bank Merger, at the election of Parent Bank, either (i) the size of the board of directors of Parent Bank (the “Board of Parent Bank”) is increased by one member or (ii) one of the then incumbent directors resigns from the Board of Parent Bank, and in either case one member of the Company Board, selected by mutual agreement of Company and Parent (the “Bank Director”), is elected or appointed to the Board of Parent Bank to fill the vacancy on the Board of Parent Bank created by such increase or resignation, as applicable. Parent Bank, through the Board of Parent Bank and subject to the Board of Parent Bank’s fiduciary duties to its sole shareholder, shall take all necessary action to nominate the Bank Director for election to the Board of Parent Bank as promptly as practicable following the Closing.

Section 1.05 Effective Time; Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent and Company will make all such filings as may be required by applicable Laws to consummate the Merger. The Merger shall become effective upon filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the Closing Date, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the “Effective Time”).

(b) The Bank Merger shall become effective as set forth in the Plan of Bank Merger. Company Bank shall execute such certificates or articles of combination and such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by Parent to effectuate the Bank Merger.

(c) The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place on such date and at such time as Parent and Company mutually agree, which such date shall be no later than fifteen (15) days after all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 6 (other than conditions to be satisfied at the Closing, which shall be satisfied or waived at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof (such date, the “Closing Date”) remotely via the electronic exchange of documentation between the parties (via electronic transmission or other similar means for exchanging documentation), or at such place as Parent and Company may mutually agree.

Section 1.06 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Parent shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, documents, assignments or assurances in Law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, Company and Company Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have granted to Parent an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver, in its official corporate capacity, all such deeds, assignments or assurances in Law or any other acts as are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, and the officers and directors of Parent are authorized in the name of Company, Company Bank and their respective Subsidiaries to take any and all such action.

- 3 -    

Section 1.07 Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. At Parent’s election, without the approval of Company, the business combination contemplated by this Agreement may alternatively be structured so that (i) Company is merged with and into any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, (ii) any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent is merged with and into Company, (iii) Company Bank is merged with and into any other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent Bank, (iv) any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent Bank is merged with and into Company Bank, or (v) the Bank Merger is delayed or abandoned and each of Company Bank and Parent Bank continue to operate as separate banking Subsidiaries of Parent; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the Merger Consideration, (ii) impede or delay consummation of the Merger (including any Closing Regulatory Approval), (iii) adversely or alter or change the federal income Tax treatment of holders of Company Stock in connection with the Merger from what such treatment would have been absent such change (including, but not limited to, any such change that would result in the Merger failing to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(a) of the Code), (iv) require submission to or approval of Company’s shareholders after the plan of merger set forth in this Agreement has been approved by Company’s shareholders, or (v) otherwise adversely affect Company, Company Bank or any shareholder of Company in any material respect. In the event that Parent elects to make such a change, the parties agree to execute appropriate documents reasonably requested to reflect the change.

ARTICLE 2.

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.01 Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Company, or any shareholder of Company:

(a) Each share of Parent Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock owned directly by Parent, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as treasury stock or otherwise (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like for the benefit of customers), immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Article 2, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (ii) 0.1972 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Per Share Stock Consideration” and, together with the Per Share Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

- 4 -    

Section 2.02 Cancellation of Company Stock. After the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, except as to Dissenting Shares, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.08(d)) and each holder of a Certificate or a Book-Entry Share will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.08(d)).

Section 2.03 Stock-Based Awards.

(a) Unless otherwise noted, the provisions of this Section 2.03 pertain to all restricted stock units and other stock-based awards granted by Company, including but not limited to awards granted under the Company Stock Plans, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Stock Awards”).

(b) Parent and Company shall take all actions necessary so that, at the Effective Time,

(i) each Company Stock Award that is unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time and will not vest at the Effective Time pursuant to its terms (the “Assumed Stock Awards”) shall be converted into an award consisting of that number of restricted stock units of Parent Common Stock equal to the sum of (x) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Assumed Stock Award and (B) the Per Share Stock Consideration and (y) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Assumed Stock Award and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration, by (ii) the Average VWAP as of the Closing Date (such sum rounded down to the nearest whole share);

(ii) the Assumed Stock Awards shall have the same vesting schedule (including any acceleration of vesting as provided in the Company Stock Plan and any applicable award agreement evidencing such grant) as the Company Stock Award and otherwise shall have the same terms and conditions as such Company Stock Award; provided, that Parent shall convert Company Stock Awards into Assumed Stock Awards in such a manner as to ensure that the Assumed Stock Awards are not subject to, or are compliant with, Section 409A of the Code as a result of the assumption and conversion; and

(iii) each Company Stock Award that is unsettled or unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time and will vest at the Effective Time pursuant to its terms shall vest and be free of any restrictions and be exchanged for the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.04 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership

- 5 -    

thereof, will be issued in the Merger. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, an amount of cash (without interest and rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying the fractional share (rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a share) by the Average VWAP as of the Closing Date.

Section 2.05 Plan of Reorganization. It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a 368 Reorganization, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” as that term is used in Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Closing, each party hereto shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a 368 Reorganization.

Section 2.06 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a shareholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has complied with the applicable provisions of the NMBCA (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal. From and after the Effective Time, a shareholder who has properly exercised such appraisal rights shall not have any rights of a shareholder of Company or the Surviving Entity with respect to shares of Company Stock, except those provided under applicable provisions of the NMBCA (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”). A Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of each share of Company Stock in accordance with the applicable provisions of the NMBCA, unless, after the Effective Time, such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, in which case such shares of Company Stock shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.08(d)) for such shares, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the shareholder’s Certificates pursuant to Section 2.08. Parent shall have the right to participate in all discussions, negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal. Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make, or offer to make, any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal. Company shall not waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such Dissenting Shareholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under the NMBCA. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by Parent as the Surviving Entity.

Section 2.07 Deposit of Merger Consideration.

(a) At or before the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (i) stock certificates or, at Parent’s option, evidence of shares in book entry form, representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to issue the Aggregate Stock Consideration, and (ii) an aggregate amount of cash sufficient to pay (A) the Aggregate Cash Consideration, plus (B) any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to

- 6 -    

Section 2.04 and any dividends and other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.08(d) (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”), and Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed as of the first anniversary of the Closing Date (as well as any interest or proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to Parent. Any former shareholders of Company who have not theretofore complied with Section 2.08 shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.08(d)), in each case without any interest thereon. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to the time that is immediately prior to the time at which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of Company Common Stock represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.08(d)) which is paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

Section 2.08 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time but in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter, to mail to each holder of a Certificate and each holder of a Book-Entry Share(s), (i) a letter of transmittal (“Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the surrender of such shares, for payment of the Merger Consideration. The Letter of Transmittal shall be subject to the approval of Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share(s), together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other customary documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share(s) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) a certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form, as applicable) representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2, and (ii) a check in the amount (after giving effect of any Tax withholding as provided in Section 2.08(e)) equal to (A) the cash consideration such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01(c), plus (B) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.04, plus

- 7 -    

(C) any dividends and other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.08(d). No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.08(b), each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.08(d)).

(c) In the event a transfer of ownership of a Certificate is not registered in the stock transfer records of Company, the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.08(d)) payable with respect to such Certificate shall be issued or paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate is registered if (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (ii) 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 of the Certificate or establish, to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent, that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable, and (iii) the Person requesting such payment or issuance shall have complied with the provisions of the Letter of Transmittal. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock represented by any Certificate, Parent and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to tender to the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.08(d)) represented by such Certificate and file legal proceedings interpleading all parties to such dispute, and will thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(d) If a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of the Parent Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, such declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares until such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares are surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article 2. Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares and the issuance of Parent Common Stock in exchange therefor, there shall be paid to the holder of such Parent Common Stock, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender payable with respect to such Parent Common Stock and not paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(e) Parent (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock such amounts as Parent is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority and upon such remittance shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement

- 8 -

(b) Company will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Company at Company’s request, to obtain all consents, approvals, authorizations, waivers or similar affirmations with respect to any Contracts set forth on Section 3.05(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and all Leases set forth on Section 3.30(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, that, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, neither Company nor any Company Subsidiary will be required to make any payment to or grant any concessions to any third party in connection therewith.

- 65 -    

to this Section 5.09 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of business of the other party or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) During the period from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time (or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7), each of Parent and Company will promptly notify the other party in writing of any matter hereafter arising which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Parent Disclosure Schedule or the Company Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, or which is necessary to correct any information in such party’s Disclosure Schedule that has been rendered materially inaccurate thereby. Each such notice shall include, or be accompanied by, a proposed supplement or amendment to such party’s Disclosure Schedule regarding such matter (a “Schedule Supplement”). Each Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to be incorporated into and to supplement and amend the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the matter which is the subject of the Schedule Supplement constitutes or relates to something that could provide Parent with a right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01(e) and Parent does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the applicable cure period and (ii) the Expiration Date, then Parent shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement on account of such matter.

(d) No investigation by a party or its representatives shall be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the other party or its Subsidiary bank set forth in this Agreement, or the conditions to the respective obligations of Parent and Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.09 to the contrary, no party shall be required to provide the other party with access or disclose information where such access or disclosure would, in the reasonable opinion of such party’s counsel, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the such party, or contravene any binding Contract entered into by such party prior to the date of this Agreement or any Law, Order or fiduciary duty applicable to such party.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Shareholder Approval, Company may take any of the actions described in Section 5.10(a) if, but only if, (i) Company has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.10; (ii) the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (a) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (b) the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and (iii) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to Company or any Company Subsidiary or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, Company receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to Company than those contained in the confidentiality agreement with Parent (it being understood that nothing therein shall have the effect of a standstill provision). Company shall promptly provide to Parent any non-public information regarding Company or Company Subsidiaries provided to any other Person which was not previously provided to Parent, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.

(b) Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours notify Parent in writing if any proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, Company or the Company

Company agrees that it shall keep Parent informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications of any material terms to such proposal, offer or request).

(c) Subject to Section 5.10(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, in a manner adverse in any respect to the interest of Parent, or take any other action or make any other public statement inconsistent with, the Company Recommendation; (ii) fail to publicly affirm the Company Recommendation within five (5) Business Days following a request by Parent (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the Company Meeting); (iii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; (iv) resolve to take, or publicly announce an intention to take, any of the foregoing actions (each of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) a “Company Subsequent Determination”); or (v) enter into (or cause Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (a) related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10(b)) or (b) requiring Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(d) or any other provision of this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may make a Company Subsequent Determination after the fifth (5^th) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Determination”) from Company informing Parent that the Company Board (or such committee) has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and the failure to make a Company Subsequent Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood that the initial determination under this clause will not be considered a Company Subsequent Determination), but only if: (i) the Notice of Determination includes or is accompanied by the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal, including copies of any proposed material agreements providing for such Superior Proposal; (ii) during the five (5) Business Day period after receipt of the Notice of Determination (the “Notice Period”), Company and the Company Board shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent, to the extent Parent desires to negotiate, to make such adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable Company to proceed with the Company Recommendation without a Company Subsequent Determination; provided, however, that Parent shall not have any obligation to propose any

- 68 -    

adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) at the end of the Notice Period, after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms, if any, as may have been irrevocably proposed by Parent in writing before expiration of the Notice Period, the Company Board has again in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, made the determination that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and the failure to make a Company Subsequent Determination with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. In the event of any material revisions to an Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of a Notice of Determination and that occur prior to a Company Subsequent Recommendation, Company shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Determination to Parent and again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.10(e), except that the Notice Period shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall prohibit Company or the Company Board from complying with Company’s obligations contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder, or from making any other disclosure to Company’s shareholders that is required by applicable Law; provided, however, that any such disclosure relating to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a change in the Company Recommendation unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure, in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, such disclosure will not be considered a Company Subsequent Determination.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.11 shall promptly notify Parent upon learning of any Claim, provided, that failure to so notify

- 69 -    

shall not affect the obligation of Parent under this Section 5.11, unless, and only to the extent that, Parent is materially prejudiced in the defense of such Claim as a consequence. In the event of any such Claim (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time), (i) (A) Parent shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Parent shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses for other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, unless such Indemnified Party is advised in writing by counsel that the defense of such Indemnified Party by Parent would create an actual or potential conflict of interest (in which case, Parent shall not be obligated to reimburse or indemnify any Indemnified Party for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction where defense of any Claim has been or is to be asserted (if the Claim involves more than one Indemnified Party, Parent shall only be obligated to pay for one separate counsel and one local counsel for all Indemnified Parties)), and (B) such Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (ii) Parent shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Parent shall not settle any Claim without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (iii) Parent shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if such indemnification would be in violation of any applicable federal or state banking Laws or regulations, or in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Laws, whether or not related to banking Laws.

(c) Subject to the terms described in this Section 5.11(c), Parent shall (i) maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering the Indemnified Parties, (ii) obtain, as of the Effective Time, “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years following the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties as the policies currently provided by Company, or (iii) purchase and provide for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies from a carrier assigned a claims paying ability rating by A.M. Best Company, Inc. of “A (Excellent)” or higher with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties as the policies currently provided by Company, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend per year pursuant to this Section 5.11(c) more than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the annual cost currently expended by Company with respect to such insurance (the “Maximum D&O Premium”); provided, further, that if the amount of the annual premium necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum D&O Premium, Parent shall maintain or procure the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance (or “tail” coverage obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum D&O Premium.

(e) These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party. After the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent under this Section 5.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party unless the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification. If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.11 that is denied by Parent, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expense, in whole or in part, then Parent or the Surviving Entity shall pay such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with enforcing such claim against Parent.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Company or any Company Subsidiary for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(b) For a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall provide each Continuing Employee with an annual base salary or wage level, as applicable, at least equal to that provided to such Continuing Employee

(b) Phase II Assessments. In the event any Phase I ESA (including a Phase I ESA that Company or any Company Subsidiary caused to be performed within one (1) year prior to the date of this Agreement) discloses such property may be impacted or have its use restricted by any Recognized Environmental Condition or Historical Recognized Environmental Condition (as each term is defined by ASTM E1527-13) for which Parent or Parent Subsidiaries would be liable and that, in the good faith reasonable belief of Parent, would result in a material liability to Company or any Company Subsidiary following the Effective Time and as such warrants further review or investigation, Parent shall reasonably promptly give notice of the same (a “Phase I Notice”) to Company no later than five (5) Business Days following Parent’s receipt of the relevant Phase I ESA. Company may then, in its sole and absolute discretion and without any obligation whatsoever to do so, within an additional twenty (20) day period, retain the Environmental Consultant to conduct a Phase II environmental site assessment in accordance with ASTM Standard E1903-11 (“Phase II

- 74 -    

ESA”) of the relevant property or facility; provided, however, that such Phase II ESA shall be completed, and a written report of the Phase II ESA prepared, no later than sixty (60) days after Company receives from Parent the Phase I Notice for the relevant property; and provided further, that with respect to any Company Leased Property, Company will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the relevant property owner’s consent for such Phase II ESA. Parent acknowledges and understands that such consent may not be able to be obtained. The scope of the Phase II ESA shall be mutually determined by Parent and Company in their reasonable discretion after consultation with the other party, and all reasonable costs and expenses associated with such Phase II ESA testing and report shall be borne by Parent. Company shall provide copies of the draft and final Phase II ESA reports, if any, to Parent promptly following the receipt of any such report by Company.

(c) Remediation Estimates. In the event any Phase II ESA confirms the presence of any environmental contamination, including, without limitation, a release or threat or release from an abandoned underground storage tank or the presence of other Hazardous Substances, in each case in concentrations above applicable standards under applicable Environmental Laws, or if Company chooses not to conduct Phase II ESA as reasonably requested by Parent pursuant to Section 5.17(b), Parent may elect to require Company to obtain, prior to the Closing Date and as soon as reasonably practical but in no event more than sixty (60) days after Parent receives the relevant Phase I ESA or Phase II ESA, and at Company’s sole cost and expense, from the Environmental Consultant or another nationally recognized contractor mutually acceptable to the parties, a written good faith estimate of the minimum cost and expense necessary to further investigate, remediate, cleanup, xxxxx, restore and otherwise address such Recognized Environmental Condition, Historical Recognized Environmental Condition, or environmental contamination to the extent required or allowed by and in accordance with Environmental Laws, including the NMVRA, and, to the extent required, to the satisfaction of any relevant Governmental Authority, assuming the continued residential, commercial or industrial use of the relevant property and employing risk-based remedial standards and institutional controls where applicable (a “Remediation Estimate”). Company shall provide to Parent any Remediation Estimate requested within five (5) business days of Company’s receipt thereof. Company shall, upon Parent’s reasonable request, cause all Remediation Estimates to be updated through the Closing Date.

(d) Remediation Adjustment and Termination. Should the sum of all Remediation Estimates (to the extent the costs reflected in such estimates will or are reasonably expected to be incurred by Company or any Company Subsidiary, and taking into account any tax credits, deductions or benefits or insurance coverage, in each case, that the parties agree is reasonably likely to be available to Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with the incurrence of such costs) exceed $250,000 in the aggregate, the Aggregate Cash Consideration shall be decreased by the amount by which the sum of all Remediation Estimates exceeds $250,000 (such amount, the “Remediation Adjustment”). Should the sum of all Remediation Estimates (to the extent the costs reflected in such estimates will or are reasonably expected to be incurred by Company or any Company Subsidiary, and taking into account any tax credits, deductions or benefits or insurance coverage, in each case, that the parties agree is reasonably likely to be available to Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with the incurrence of such costs) exceed $2,500,000 in the aggregate (the “Environmental Limit”), Parent may elect (a) to terminate this Agreement pursuant

(a) (i) Shareholder owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the “Exchange Act”) all of the Original Shares free and clear of all Liens, and (ii) except pursuant hereto, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Shareholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares.

(b) Shareholder does not beneficially own any shares of Company Common Stock other than (i) the Original Shares and (ii) any restricted stock units or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock, or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Company Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, “RSUs”).

(c) Shareholder has full legal capacity (and, if applicable, corporate, limited partnership or other organizational power and authority) to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to

A-1

perform fully Shareholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except in each case as enforcement may be limited general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of law or court of equity, and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar Laws affecting creditor’s rights and remedies generally.

(d) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder, the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice of lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument or Law applicable to Shareholder or to Shareholder’s property or assets.

(e) No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person on the part of Shareholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement or Shareholder’s performance of his, her or its obligations hereunder.
