NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of such premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as set forth below.

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 8.2 hereof), TLB shall be merged with and into Interim Bank (which, as the surviving bank, is hereinafter referred to as “Surviving Bank” whenever reference is made to it at or after the Effective Time) pursuant to the provisions of, and with the effect provided for in, Section 32.301 of the Texas Finance Code (“TFC”) and Chapter 10 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (“TBOC”).

Section 1.2 Organizational Documents and Facilities of Surviving Bank. At the Effective Time and until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law, the Organizational Documents (as defined in Section 13.1(f)) of Surviving Bank shall be the Organizational Documents of TLB as in effect at the Effective Time. Unless and until changed by the board of directors of Surviving Bank, the main office of Surviving Bank shall be the main office of TLB as of the Effective Time. The established offices and facilities of Interim Bank, if any, immediately prior to the Merger shall become established offices and facilities of Surviving Bank. Until thereafter changed in accordance with law or the Organizational Documents of Surviving Bank, all corporate acts, plans, policies, contracts, approvals and authorizations of TLB and Interim Bank and their respective shareholders, boards of directors, committees elected or appointed thereby, officers and agents, which were valid and effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be taken for all purposes as the acts, plans, policies, contracts, approvals and authorizations of Surviving Bank and shall be as effective and binding thereon as the same were with respect to TLB and Interim Bank, respectively, as of the Effective Time.

Section 1.3 Board of Directors and Officers of Surviving Bank. At the Effective Time and until thereafter changed in accordance with applicable law or the Organizational Documents of Surviving Bank, the board of directors and officers of Surviving Bank shall be the board of directors and officers of Interim Bank as of the Effective Time.

Section 1.4 Effect of Merger. At the Effective Time, the corporate existence of TLB and Interim Bank shall, as provided in the provisions of law previously mentioned, be consolidated and continued in Surviving Bank, and Surviving Bank shall be deemed to be a continuation in entity and identity of TLB and Interim Bank. All rights, franchises and interests of TLB and Interim Bank, respectively, in and to any type of property and chooses in action shall be transferred to and vested in Surviving Bank by virtue of such Merger without reversion or impairment, without further act or deed and without any assignment having occurred, but subject to any existing liens or other encumbrances thereon. The Merger shall have all other effects set forth in Section 32.301 of the TFC and Chapter 10 of the TBOC.

Section 1.5 Liabilities of Surviving Bank. At the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Surviving Bank shall be liable for all liabilities of TLB and Interim Bank. All debts, liabilities, obligations and contracts of TLB and of Interim Bank, respectively, matured or unmatured, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether or not reflected or reserved against on balance sheets, books of account, or records of TLB or Interim Bank, as the case may be, shall be those of Surviving Bank and shall not be released or impaired by the Merger. All rights of creditors and other obligees and all liens on property of either TLB or Interim Bank shall be preserved unimpaired subsequent to the Merger.

Section 1.6 Approvals and Notices. This Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of TLB and the sole shareholder of Interim Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the applicable provisions of law and the respective Organizational Documents of TLB and Interim Bank. TLB and Interim Bank shall proceed expeditiously and cooperate fully in the procurement of any other consents and approvals and the taking of any other actions in satisfaction of all other requirements prescribed by law or otherwise necessary for consummation of the Merger on the terms herein provided, including, without limitation, the preparation and submission of all necessary filings, requests for waivers and certificates with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”), the Texas Department of Banking (“TDB”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Section 1.7 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (and any comparable provision of state law), and the parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations.

Section 1.8 Modification of Structure. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Guaranty may elect, subject to the filing of all necessary applications and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, to modify the structure of the transactions contemplated hereby so long as (i) there are no material adverse federal or state income tax consequences to the shareholders of TLB as a result of such modification, (ii) the consideration to be paid to holders of TLB Common Stock, the TLB Options or the TLB Warrants under this Agreement is not thereby changed in kind or reduced in amount solely because of such modification and (iii) such modification will not be likely to materially delay or jeopardize

receipt of any required regulatory approvals or the consummation of the Merger. In the event of such election, the parties agree to execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement in order to reflect such election.

Subject to the provisions of this Article II, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Guaranty, Interim Bank or TLB, or the shareholders of any of the foregoing, the shares of the constituent corporations shall be converted as follows:

(b) The TLB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the TLB Options and the TLB Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive merger consideration (as described in more detail below) having an aggregate value of Fourteen Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($14,750,000.00), subject to the adjustments set forth in this Section 2.1(b) (as adjusted, the “Merger Consideration”).

the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (B) all legal and accounting costs and expenses of TLB associated with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement through the Closing Date; (C) any fees and commissions payable by TLB to any broker, finder or investment banking firm in connection with the Merger; (D) the estimated amount of any fee, contract payment, penalty or liquidated damages associated with the termination of TLB’s contracts with any provider listed on Schedule 5.7 on or following the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.7, including any costs or expense associated with the termination of TLB’s data processing contract(s), which are set forth on Schedule 5.7, that would be due and payable by TLB under the terms of such agreements based on an assumed termination date of July 31, 2015 (and the parties hereto agree that solely for the purpose of calculating any costs or expense associated with the termination of TLB’s data processing contract(s), the termination date of such contract(s) shall be July 31, 2015; (E) any fees associated with the de-conversion of TLB’s data files; (F) the book value as of the Calculation Date of all assets of TLB associated with TLB’s contracts with any provider listed on Schedule 5.7, which shall be written off as of the Calculation Date; (G) premiums or additional costs in connection with procuring the Tail Coverage described in Section 5.11; (H) the accrual through the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP of any future benefit payments due under any salary continuation, deferred compensation or other similar agreements of TLB; (I) the after-tax amount of any cost to fully fund and liquidate any TLB Employee Plan (as defined herein) and to pay all related expenses and fees to the extent such termination is requested by Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.4(a); (J) the amount of any payments to be made pursuant to any existing employment, change in control, salary continuation, deferred compensation or other similar agreements or severance, noncompetition, retention or bonus arrangements between TLB and any other Person; and (K) the amount by which TLB’s allowance for loan losses as of the Calculation Date is less than $468,000 (the “Minimum Allowance Amount”). For purposes of calculating the after-tax effect of the foregoing, the parties hereby agree that the applicable tax rate to TLB shall be deemed to be 35%.

(iv) “Calculation Date” means the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(v) If any dispute shall arise between TLB and Guaranty regarding the determination of the Adjusted Equity, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ LLP or such other accounting firm as Guaranty and TLB shall mutually select (the “Accounting Firm”), shall on the Closing Date resolve disputes relating to the application of GAAP and such resolution shall be final and binding on TLB, Guaranty and Interim Bank. In the event of a dispute, the disputing party shall have received from the Accounting Firm a report, dated the Closing Date and based upon procedures stated in such report and approved by Guaranty and TLB, approval of such procedures not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, detailing such procedures and providing written findings as to the amount of the Adjusted Equity and that the amount of the Adjusted Equity has been determined in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.1(b).

(c) Each share of TLB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Qualified Shareholder (as defined below) (other than

Dissenting Shares, as defined in Section 2.3) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and represent the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof, either the Stock Consideration, the Cash Consideration, or any combination of the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.1(e).

(i) “Qualified Shareholder” means a record holder of TLB Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (A) who delivers, in accordance with the instructions set forth therein, to TLB a properly completed and executed Accredited Investor Questionnaire (as defined in Section 2.3) indicating that such shareholder is an Accredited Investor, and (B) about whom Guaranty has a reasonable basis to believe is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (“Accredited Investor”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Any TLB shareholder who does not execute and deliver to TLB an Accredited Investor Questionnaire as provided herein or about whom Guaranty has no reasonable basis to believe qualifies as an Accredited Investor shall not be deemed to be a Qualified Shareholder for purposes of this Agreement.

(ii) “Per Share Consideration” means an amount equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of (1) the Merger Consideration plus (2) an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price for all TLB Options and all TLB Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the sum of (1) the total number of shares of TLB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time plus (2) the total number TLB Options and TLB Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(iii) “Stock Consideration” means the number of shares (or the fraction of a share) of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Guaranty (“Guaranty Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in Section 2.2).

(iv) “Cash Consideration” means a cash amount equal to the Per Share Consideration.

(d) Each share of TLB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Non-Qualified Shareholder (as defined below) (other than Dissenting Shares) and all rights of such Non-Qualified Shareholders in respect of the TLB Common Stock shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and represent the right to receive the Cash Consideration. “Non-Qualified Shareholder” means a record holder of TLB Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time who is not Qualified Shareholder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Aggregate Cash Payment (as defined below) shall be an amount that is no less than twenty percent (20.0%) and no more than sixty percent (60.0%) of the Merger Consideration.

(i) In the event that, based on all elections made by Qualified Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.1(c), the number of shares of TLB Common Stock

held by Non-Qualified Shareholders, and the number of Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.4), the Aggregate Cash Payment is greater than sixty percent (60.0%) of the Merger Consideration, the portion of the Aggregate Cash Payment payable to Qualified Shareholders who elect to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration in cash (the “Cash Qualified Shareholders”) shall be automatically reduced so that the Aggregate Cash Payment is equal (but in any event no greater than) sixty percent (60.0%) of the Merger Consideration and the aggregate number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock issuable to the Cash Qualified Shareholders shall be correspondingly increased by an amount equal to the quotient of (A) the dollar amount by which the Aggregate Cash Payment is reduced pursuant to this Section 2.1(e)(i) divided by (B) the Guaranty Per Share Value, and such adjustments to the amount of cash payable and the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock issuable to the Cash Qualified Shareholders shall be allocated among the Cash Qualified Shareholders on a pro rata basis pursuant to their percentage ownership interests in the TLB Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(ii) In the event that, based on all elections made by Qualified Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.1(c), the number of shares of TLB Common Stock held by Non-Qualified Shareholders, and the number of Dissenting Shares, the Aggregate Cash Payment is less than twenty percent (20.0%) of the Merger Consideration, the portion of the Aggregate Cash Payment payable to the Cash Qualified Shareholders shall be automatically increased so that the Aggregate Cash Payment is equal (but in any event no less than) twenty percent (20.0%) of the Merger Consideration and the aggregate number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock issuable to the Cash Qualified Shareholders shall be correspondingly decreased by an amount equal to the quotient of (A) the dollar amount by which the Aggregate Cash Payment is increased pursuant to this Section 2.1(e)(ii) divided by (B) the Guaranty Per Share Value, and such adjustments to the amount of cash payable and the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock issuable to the Cash Qualified Shareholders shall be allocated among the Cash Qualified Shareholders on a pro rata basis pursuant to their percentage ownership interests in the TLB Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(iii) “Aggregate Cash Payment” means the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration that is payable in cash hereunder to Qualified Shareholders (based on their respective elections pursuant to Section 2.1(c)), Non-Qualified Shareholders, and holders of Dissenting Shares, without interest thereon, but excluding holders of TLB Options and holders of TLB Warrants

(f) Each outstanding share of TLB Common Stock held directly by TLB immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares of TLB Common 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 TLB Common Stock held in respect of a debt previously contracted) shall be cancelled without any conversion and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Guaranty will not issue any certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Guaranty Common Stock

otherwise issuable pursuant to the Merger. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional shares, Guaranty shall round the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock to be received by each Qualified Shareholder to the nearest whole share.

(h) For purposes of clarification and avoidance of doubt, Schedule 2.1 sets forth an example calculation of the Merger Consideration and the Per Share Consideration based on the formulae described above.

Section 2.2 Determination of Exchange Ratio.

(a) The aggregate number of shares (or fraction thereof) of Guaranty Common Stock to be exchanged for each share of TLB Common Stock shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect any change in the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock by reason of any stock dividends or splits, reclassification, recapitalization or conversion with respect to Guaranty Common Stock, received or to be received by holders of Guaranty Common Stock, when the record date or payment occurs prior to the Effective Time.

(b) The “Exchange Ratio” for the purposes of converting shares of TLB Common Stock into shares of Guaranty Common Stock in connection with the Merger shall be the ratio equal to the quotient of (i) the Per Share Consideration, divided by (ii) the Guaranty Per Share Value.

(d) Guaranty shall not pay any cash dividend to its shareholder prior to the Closing Date unless Guaranty and TLB agree on a mutually agreeable methodology that provides for an updward adjustment to the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock to be exchanged for each share of TLB Common Stock that is proportional to the aggregate amount of such cash dividends.

(e) For purposes of clarification and avoidance of doubt, Schedule 2.2 sets forth an example calculation of the Exchange Ratio based on the formula described above.

Section 2.3 Determination of Qualified Shareholders. Within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement, TLB shall provide to each of its shareholders an investor questionnaire in a form satisfactory to Guaranty (the “Accredited Investor Questionnaire”), pursuant to which each shareholder of TLB will be asked to certify to TLB and to Guaranty that such shareholder is either an Accredited Investor or a shareholder who is not an Accredited Investor. The Accredited Investor Questionnaires and other information available to the parties shall be used to determine whether each shareholder of TLB is a Qualified Shareholder for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.4 Dissenting Shares.

holder thereof who has not exchanged his certificates representing shares of TLB Common Stock for the Merger Consideration or otherwise has not effectively withdrawn or lost his dissenter’s rights, shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II and shall be entitled only to such rights as are available to such holder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the TBOC. Each holder of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive the value of such Dissenting Shares held by him in accordance with the applicable provisions of the TBOC; provided, such holder complies with the procedures contemplated by and set forth in the applicable provisions of the TBOC. If any holder of any Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose his dissenter’s rights under the applicable provisions of the TBOC, each such Dissenting Share shall be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of this Article II.

Section 2.5 Exchange of Shares.

(a) Guaranty shall deposit or cause to be deposited in trust with GBT (the “Exchange Agent”) (i) certificates representing shares of Guaranty Common Stock making up the aggregate stock portion of the Merger Consideration deliverable to Qualified Shareholders of TLB and (ii) cash in an aggregate amount sufficient to make the appropriate payments to (A) Qualified Shareholders who elect to receive cash, (B) Non-Qualified Shareholders, (C) holders of TLB Options, (D) holders of TLB Warrants, and (E) holders of Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, if any (such certificates and cash being referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as provided in this Agreement. The Exchange Agent shall promptly deliver the stock certificates representing shares of Guaranty Common Stock and the cash payment upon surrender of certificates representing shares of TLB Common Stock, the TLB Options or the TLB Warrants, as the case may be.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each record holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates which as of the Effective Date represented shares of TLB Common Stock (the “Certificates”), a form letter of transmittal which will specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and contain instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates for payment therefor. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock and/or amount of cash, if any, provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and such Certificate shall forthwith be cancelled. Guaranty shall provide the Exchange Agent with certificates for Guaranty Common Stock, as requested by the Exchange Agent, for the number of shares provided in Section 2.1. No interest will be paid or accrued with respect to the shares of Guaranty Common Stock or cash payable upon surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5, each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall represent for all purposes the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to shares of Guaranty Common Stock and payable to the holders thereof shall be

paid to the holder of a Certificate until such holder surrenders such Certificate to the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 2.5. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.5, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which had been declared after the Effective Time with respect to the shares of Guaranty Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

(d) After the Effective Time, the stock transfer ledger of TLB shall be closed and there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of TLB of the shares of TLB Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to Guaranty, they shall be promptly presented to the Exchange Agent and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.5.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of TLB for six months after the Exchange Agent mails the letter of transmittal pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be returned to Guaranty upon demand, and any shareholders of TLB who have not previously complied with the exchange procedures in this Article II shall look to Guaranty only, and not the Exchange Agent, for the payment of any Merger Consideration in respect of such shares.

(f) If any certificate representing shares of Guaranty Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be appropriately endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form (reasonably satisfactory to Guaranty) for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of Guaranty Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or not payable.

(g) None of Guaranty, Interim Bank, TLB, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of TLB Common Stock for any Guaranty Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(h) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Guaranty or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Guaranty or the Exchange Agent may direct, not to exceed the aggregate amount of such shareholders’ portion of the Merger Consideration, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Guaranty with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Treatment of TLB Options and TLB Warrants. TLB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of a TLB Option and each holder of a TLB Warrant to cancel each such TLB Option or TLB Warrant, as the case may be, as of the Effective

Time in exchange for the Option Consideration (as defined below); provided, however, no consideration shall be paid with respect to any TLB Option or TLB Warrant for which the Option Consideration is a negative sum. The “Option Consideration” means an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Per Share Consideration minus (ii) the exercise price of the applicable TLB Option or TLB Warrant. Guaranty shall not assume any TLB Options or TLB Warrants and Guaranty will not substitute an equivalent option or warrant therefore. For purposes of clarification and avoidance of doubt, Schedule 2.1 sets forth an example calculation of the Option Consideration based on the formula described above.

Schedule 3.19(a) identifies any TLB Employee Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA (“Title IV Plan”). “ERISA Affiliate” means any entity, trade or business that is a member of a group described in Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA that includes TLB, or that is a member of the same “controlled group” as TLB pursuant to Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA.

(b) TLB has delivered to Guaranty: (i) correct and complete copies of all documents setting forth the terms of each TLB Employee Plan, including all amendments thereto and all related trust documents and insurance policies; (ii) the three most recent actuarial reports and annual reports (Form 5500 Series and all schedules and financial statements attached thereto), if any, required under ERISA or the Code in connection with each TLB Employee Plan; (iii) the most recent summary plan description together with the summaries of material modifications thereto, if any, with respect to each TLB Employee Plan; (iv) all employee handbooks and other policies delivered or made available to employees and other service providers; and (v) the most recent Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) determination or opinion letter issued with respect to each TLB Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

All of TLB Employee Plans comply and have been administered in all material respects with all applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code and other applicable laws and all TLB Employee Plans have been operated in compliance with their terms. There has occurred no “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) with respect to TLB Employee Plans which is likely to result in the imposition of any penalties or taxes upon TLB under Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Neither TLB, any ERISA Affiliate, nor any of their current or former directors, officers, employees or any other “fiduciary” within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(21), has committed any breach of fiduciary responsibility imposed by ERISA or any other applicable law, or has any liability for failure to comply with ERISA or the Code for any action or failure to act in connection with the administration or investment of the assets of any TLB Employee Plan. All contributions, premiums or other payments required by law or by any TLB Employee Plan (i) that are due on or before the Closing have been paid or will be paid prior to the Closing, and (ii) that have accrued on or before the Closing have been or will be paid or properly accrued at the Closing. Neither TLB nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever incurred any penalty or tax with respect to any TLB Employee Plan under Section 502(i) or 502(l) of ERISA or Section 4971 or 4975 through 4980 of the Code.

(d) TLB does not have any obligations for post-retirement or post-employment benefits under any TLB Employee Plan, except for coverage required by Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or Section 4980B of the Code, or similar state laws (“COBRA”), the cost of which is borne by the insured individuals. Each TLB Employee Plan that is a “group health plan” within the meaning of Section 5000 of the Code has been operated in compliance with

COBRA. Each TLB Employee Plan can be terminated upon 60 days’ notice or less without payment of any additional compensation or amount or the additional vesting or acceleration of any benefits, except as required by law. Each TLB Employee Plan that is intended to be a “qualified plan” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code is qualified in form and operation in all material respects and is the subject of a favorable determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to its qualified status, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that would disqualify any such TLB Employee Plan.

(e) Neither TLB nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever had any liability or contingent liability with respect to a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA. Neither TLB nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any unsatisfied liability under Title IV of ERISA, and no condition or set of circumstances exists that presents a risk to TLB or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring liability under Title IV of ERISA. No Title IV Plan has been completely or partially terminated and none has been the subject of a “reportable event” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA. No proceeding by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to terminate any Title IV Plan has been instituted or threatened. Neither TLB nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability for the termination of any Title IV Plan under ERISA Section 4062. The present value of all benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) as defined in ERISA Section 4001(a)(16) under each Title IV Plan did not exceed as of the most recent Title IV Plan actuarial valuation date, and will not exceed as of the Closing Date, the then-current value of the assets of such Title IV Plan as determined pursuant to Code Sections 412 or 430, and (i) at the Closing Date, the current value of all accrued benefits under each Title IV Plan will not exceed the current value of all the assets of such Title IV Plan allocable to such accrued benefits, determined as though each Plan were to terminate on the Closing Date. All premiums have been paid in full to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and neither TLB nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability for any premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Neither TLB nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability for any unfunded benefit liabilities, or any accumulated funding deficiency within the meaning of ERISA Section 302 or Code Section 412 or 430, whether or not waived. Neither TLB nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability (ii) for any lien or any interest payments or any minimum funding contributions under ERISA Section 302 or Section 401(a)(29), 412 or 430 of the Code, as applicable, or (iii) to provide security under ERISA Section 307 or Code Section 401(a)(29).

(f) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.19(f), neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) constitute an event under any TLB Employee Plan, that will or may result (either alone or in connection with any other circumstance or event) in any payment (whether severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits or a trust with respect to any employee or other person. No payment made as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in conjunction with any other event such as a termination of employment) will result in the payment of any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.19(g), there are no outstanding compensatory equity awards, including any arrangements awarding stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, phantom stock or any other equity compensation to any employee, director or other service provider of TLB or any ERISA Affiliate.

Section 5.9 Environmental Investigation; Rights to Terminate Agreement.

(a) Guaranty and its consultants, agents and representatives shall have the right to the same extent that TLB has such right (at Guaranty’s cost and expense), but not the obligation or responsibility, to inspect any TLB Real Property, including, without limitation, conducting asbestos surveys and sampling, environmental assessments and investigation, and other non-invasive or non-destructive environmental surveys and analyses (“Environmental Inspections”) at any time on or prior to thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement. If, as a result of any such Environmental Inspection, further investigation (“secondary investigation”) including, without limitation, test borings, soil, water, asbestos or other sampling, is deemed desirable by Guaranty, Guaranty shall (i) notify TLB of any property for which it intends to conduct such a secondary investigation and the reasons for such secondary investigation, (ii) submit a work plan to TLB for such secondary investigation, for which Guaranty agrees to afford TLB the ability to comment on and Guaranty agrees to reasonably consider all such comments (and negotiate in good faith any such comments); and (iii) conclude such secondary investigation, on or prior to sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement. Guaranty shall give reasonable notice to TLB of such secondary investigations, and TLB may place reasonable restrictions on the time and place at which such secondary investigations may be carried out.

(b) TLB agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Guaranty for any claims for damage to property, or injury or death to persons, made as a result of any Environmental Inspection or secondary investigation conducted by Guaranty or its agents, representatives or contractors to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of TLB or its agents, representatives or contractors. Guaranty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless TLB for any claims for damage to property, or injury or death to persons, to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Guaranty or its agents, representatives or contractors in performing any Environmental Inspection or secondary investigation. If the Closing does not occur, the foregoing indemnities shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Guaranty shall not have any liability or responsibility of any nature whatsoever for the results, conclusions or other findings related to any Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey. If this Agreement is terminated, then except as otherwise required by law, reports to any Governmental Body of the results of any Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey shall be made by TLB in the exercise of its sole discretion and not by Guaranty. Guaranty shall make no such report prior to Closing unless required to do so by law, and in such case will give TLB reasonable prior notice of Guaranty’s intentions so as to enable TLB to review and comment on such proposed report.

(c) Guaranty shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within ninety (90) days after the date of this Agreement if (i) the results of such Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey are disapproved by Guaranty because the

Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey identifies violations or potential violations of Environmental Laws that could have a Material Adverse Effect on TLB; (ii) any past or present events, conditions or circumstances would require further investigation or remedial or cleanup action under Environmental Laws involving, individually or in the aggregate, an expenditure in excess of $250,000 or that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on TLB; (iii) the Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey identifies the presence of any underground or above ground storage tank in, on or under any TLB Real Property that is not shown to be in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to such tank, or that has had a release of petroleum or some other Hazardous Materials that has not been cleaned up in accordance with applicable Environmental Law, the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on TLB; or (iv) the Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey identifies the presence of any asbestos-containing material in, on or under any TLB Real Property, the removal or abatement of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on TLB. In the event Guaranty terminates this Agreement or elects not to proceed to Closing pursuant to this Section 5.9(c), Guaranty promptly shall deliver to TLB copies of any environmental report, engineering report, or property condition report prepared by Guaranty or any third party with respect to any TLB Real Property. Any results or findings of any Environmental Inspections will not be disclosed by Guaranty to any third party not affiliated with Guaranty, unless Guaranty is required by law to disclose such information.

(d) If any past or present events, conditions or circumstances would require further investigation or remedial or cleanup action under Environmental Laws involving, individually or in the aggregate, an expenditure of $50,000 or less, TLB shall accrue such amount as is necessary to pay the aggregate costs of further investigating, remediating or cleaning up such conditions as are reasonably estimated by an independent environmental firm selected by Guaranty.

(e) TLB agrees to make available upon request to Guaranty and its consultants, agents and representatives all documents and other materials relating to environmental conditions of any TLB Real Property including, without limitation, the results of other environmental inspections and surveys to the extent such documents are in the actual possession of TLB. TLB also agrees that all engineers and consultants who prepared or furnished such reports may discuss such reports and information with Guaranty and, at Guaranty’s cost and expense, shall be entitled to certify the same in favor of Guaranty and its consultants, agents and representatives and make all other data available to Guaranty and its consultants, agents and representatives.

Section 5.10 Nature of Deposits. On the Closing Date, the deposits of TLB will be of substantially the same character, mix, type, and makeup as such deposits are as of September 30, 2014.

Section 13.3 Investigation; Survival of Agreements. No investigation by the parties hereto made heretofore or hereafter shall affect the representations and warranties of the parties which are contained herein and each such representation and warranty shall survive such

This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by Guaranty, Interim Bank and TLB at any time prior to the Effective Time with respect to any of the terms contained herein; provided, however, that the Merger Consideration to be received by the shareholders of TLB pursuant to this Agreement shall not be decreased subsequent to the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement without the further approval by such shareholders.

Section 13.5 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions provided for herein are consummated, each party to this Agreement will pay its respective expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Each party agrees to indemnify the other party against any cost, expense or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in respect of any claim made by any party for a broker’s or finder’s fee in connection with this transaction other than one based on communications between the party and the claimant seeking indemnification.

Notices permitted to be sent via e-mail shall be deemed delivered only if sent to such persons at such e-mail addresses as may be set forth in writing.

Section 13.7 Controlling Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related in any way to this Agreement and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereunder or related in any way to the foregoing, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal, substantive laws of the State of Texas applicable to agreements entered into and to be performed solely within such state without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

Section 13.8 Jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the State of Texas located in Rockwall County in any action, suit or proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement, and agrees that any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought only in such court (and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or any other objection to venue therein); provided, however, that such consent to jurisdiction is solely for the purpose referred to in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to the jurisdiction of such court other than for such purposes.

Section 13.9 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, may, to the extent legally allowed: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument

signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 13.10 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. In all such cases, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision which, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents of this Agreement.

Section 13.11 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but shall not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties.

Section 13.12 Entire Agreement. Except for the Confidentiality Agreement, this Agreement and the exhibits and attachments hereto represent the entire agreement between the parties respecting the transactions contemplated hereby, and all understandings and agreements heretofore made between the parties hereto are merged in this Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules delivered pursuant hereto, which (together with any agreements executed by the parties hereto contemporaneously with or, if contemplated hereby, subsequent to the execution of this Agreement) shall be the sole expression of the agreement of the parties respecting the Merger. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that, in executing and delivering this Agreement, it has relied only on the written representations, warranties and promises of the other parties hereto that are contained herein or in the other agreements executed by the parties contemporaneously with or, if contemplated hereby, subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, and has not relied on the oral statements of any other party or its representatives.

Section 13.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be deemed one and the same instrument. A telecopy, facsimile or electronic scan in “PDF” format of a signed counterpart of this Agreement will be sufficient to bind the party or parties whose signature(s) appear thereon.

Section 13.14 Binding on Successors. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective heirs, executors, trustees, administrators, guardians, successors and assigns.

Section 13.15 Disclosures. Any disclosure made in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or referred to or described in writing in any section of this Agreement or any schedule attached hereto shall be deemed to be disclosure for purposes of any section herein or

schedule hereto. The inclusion of any matter, information, item or other disclosure set forth in any section of the Disclosure Schedules or the Guaranty Disclosure Schedules (as applicable) shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of any liability of the disclosing party to any third party or otherwise imply that such matter, information or item is material or creates a measure for materiality for purposes of this Agreement or is required to be disclosed under this Agreement. Each section of the Disclosure Schedules or the Guaranty Disclosure Schedules (as applicable) corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates; provided that, any fact or condition disclosed in any section in such a way as to make its relevance to another section that relates to a representation or representations made elsewhere in this Agreement reasonably apparent shall be deemed to be an exception to such representation or representations notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross reference thereto.

Section 13.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 13.17 Further Cooperation. The parties agree that they will, at any time and from time to time after the Closing, upon request by the other and without further consideration, do, perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, deeds, assignments, assumptions, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, certificates and assurances as may be reasonably required in order to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to carry out and perform any undertaking made by the parties hereunder.
