WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Guaranty’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, (i) certain executive officers and each director of Westbound, who are shareholders of Westbound, all of whom are listed on Schedule 1, have, in their capacity as shareholders, entered into a Voting Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which each such Person has agreed, among other things, to vote the shares of Westbound Stock held by such Person in favor of the Merger, subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement; (ii) each of the directors of Westbound has, in his or her capacity as a shareholder of Westbound, entered into a Director Support Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (collectively, the “Director Support Agreements”); and (iii) certain senior officers of Westbound have entered into Employment Agreements with GBT and Guaranty (collectively, the “Employment Agreements”), which will not become effective until the Effective Time;

WHEREAS, for federal income Tax purposes, the parties intend that the Merger qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of § 368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any comparable provision of state Law) for federal and applicable state income tax purposes, and that this Agreement is intended to be and is hereby adopted as a plan of reorganization for the purposes of Code §§ 354, 361 and 368 and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any comparable provision of state Law);

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Westbound shall merge with and into GBT, with GBT as the surviving corporation (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Corporation”), pursuant to the provisions of 12 U.S.C. § 215a and Sections 32.301 and 32.501 of the Texas Finance Code.

Section 1.02 The Closing; Effective Time.

(a) The transactions contemplated under this Agreement shall be consummated on a date (the “Closing Date”) which shall be no more than thirty (30) days after all necessary regulatory, corporate and other approvals have been received, and all associated mandatory waiting periods have expired (the “Required Approvals”), or such other date as may be mutually agreeable to Guaranty and Westbound. On the Closing Date, a meeting (the “Closing”) will take place at which the parties to this Agreement will exchange certificates, letters and other documents in order to determine whether all of the conditions set forth in Article VII and Article VIII have been satisfied or waived or whether any condition exists that would permit a party to this Agreement to terminate this Agreement. If no such condition then exists or if no party elects to exercise any right it may have to terminate this Agreement, then and thereupon the appropriate parties shall execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Closing shall take place at 10:00 a.m., local time at the offices of Fenimore, Kay, Harrison & Ford, LLP, 812 San Antonio Street, Suite 600, Austin, Texas 78701, on the Closing Date, or at such other time and place to which Guaranty and Westbound may agree.

(b) The “Effective Time” means a time mutually agreed to by the parties on the effective date of the Merger specified in a Merger Certification Letter to be issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”).

Section 1.03 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the corporate existence of Westbound shall, as provided in the provisions of Law heretofore mentioned, be continued in the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall be deemed to be a continuation in entity and identity of Westbound. All rights, franchises and interests of Westbound in and to any type of property and choses in action shall be transferred to and vested in Surviving Corporation 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 thereon. The Merger shall have all other effects set forth in 12 U.S.C. § 215a.

Section 1.04 Certificate of Formation and Bylaws. As a result of the Merger, the Certificate of Formation and bylaws of GBT, shall continue in effect as the Certificate of Formation

and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until the same shall be amended and changed as provided by applicable Law.

Section 1.05 Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of GBT as of the Effective Time, shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, and such directors and officers shall hold office from the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the Certificate of Formation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as otherwise provided by applicable Law.

Section 1.06 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Guaranty, GBT, Westbound or any holder of any of the following securities:

(a) No Effect on Guaranty Common Stock. Each share of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of Guaranty (the “Guaranty Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger.

(b) No Effect on GBT Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GBT issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger.

(c) Conversion of Westbound Stock. Each share of common stock, $5.00 par value per share, of Westbound issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Westbound Common Stock”), and each share of Class A Preferred Stock, $5.00 par value per share, of Westbound issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Westbound Preferred Stock”, together with Westbound Common Stock, “Westbound Stock”) excluding any Westbound Stock held by a Dissenting Shareholder and Treasury Shares, shall be cancelled and converted into and represent the right to receive from Guaranty, without interest, the Per Share Merger Consideration (subject to the escrow arrangement provided for in Section 2.03). All shares of Westbound Stock that have been converted in the Merger shall be cancelled automatically and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such shares of Westbound Stock (each, a “Certificate”, and collectively, the “Certificates”), shall cease to have any rights with respect to those shares of Westbound Stock, other than the right to receive from Guaranty following the Effective Time the Per Share Merger Consideration (subject to the escrow arrangement provided for in Section 2.03) for each share of Westbound Stock represented by the Certificate pursuant to this Section 1.06(c) and in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 2.03.

(d) Cancellation of Treasury Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each share of Westbound Stock held in the treasury of Westbound and each share of Westbound Stock owned by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Westbound immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Treasury Shares”) (other than (i) shares of Westbound 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 Westbound Stock held in respect of a debt previously contracted), shall be automatically cancelled without any conversion and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(e) Dissenting Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Westbound Stock that are held by shareholders of Westbound (each, a “Dissenting Shareholder”) who have complied with the terms and provisions of Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”) shall be entitled to those rights and remedies set forth in Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC; provided, however, that if a shareholder of Westbound fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses any such right or remedy granted by Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC, each share of Westbound Stock held by such shareholder shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration as specified in Section 1.06(c). Westbound shall give Guaranty prompt notice upon receipt by Westbound of any demands for payment of the value of such shares of Westbound Stock and of withdrawals of such notice and any other instruments provided pursuant to applicable Law, and Guaranty shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. Westbound shall not, except with the prior written consent of Guaranty, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such Dissenting Shareholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under applicable Law. Any payments made in respect of shares held by a Dissenting Shareholder shall be made by Guaranty.

(f) Treatment of Westbound Stock Options. Each option to purchase shares of Westbound Common Stock (“Westbound Option”) granted under the Westbound Bank 2007 Stock Incentive Plan or pursuant to a nonqualified stock option agreement or agreement with Westbound (collectively, the “Westbound Stock Option Plans”), including those Westbound Options that are set forth on Schedule 3.02 of the Disclosure Schedule, that is unexpired, outstanding and unexercised (whether vested or unvested) immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, fully vest and shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and shall not be assumed by Guaranty, and no Westbound Option shall be substituted with any equivalent option or right to purchase Guaranty Common Stock. Upon cancellation thereof, each such Westbound Option shall be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Westbound Common Stock available for purchase pursuant to such Westbound Option (the “Westbound Option Shares”) multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Option Amount (as defined in Section 2.01(k)) over the exercise price per share of such Westbound Option Shares (the “Option Cancellation Payment”); provided, that the right to receive such cash consideration shall be conditioned upon the holder thereof executing and delivering to Westbound an option holder termination and release agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (collectively, the “Option Holder Release Agreements”) contemplated by Section 8.16. To the extent that any Westbound Option that has an exercise price per share of Westbound Common Stock that is greater than or equal to the Per Option Amount, such Westbound Option shall be cancelled in exchange for no consideration. Guaranty shall deliver the Option Cancellation Payment to each holder of a Westbound Option no later than the first (1st) Business Day following the Effective Time (assuming the delivery and effectiveness of the requisite Option Holder Release Agreement). Payments to the holders of Westbound Options shall be subject to applicable withholding under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with

respect to the making of such payment, and Guaranty shall deliver such withheld amount to the applicable taxing authority.

Section 1.07 No Fractional Guaranty Common Stock. 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 pay to each former holder of Westbound Stock otherwise entitled to receive such fractional share an amount of cash determined by multiplying (a) the Determination Date VWAP by (b) the fraction of a share of Guaranty Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.06(c).

Section 1.08 Anti-Dilution Provisions. If, between the Execution Date and the Effective Time, Guaranty or Westbound should change the number or class of its outstanding shares by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, or a share dividend thereon is declared with a record date within said period, the Per Share Merger Consideration and any dependent items shall be adjusted accordingly and proportionately; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, no such adjustment shall be made with regard to the shares of Guaranty Common Stock to be issued hereunder to holders of Westbound Stock if (i) Guaranty issues additional shares of Guaranty Common Stock, if Guaranty receives consideration for such shares in a bona fide merger, acquisition or other business combination or any other third party transaction (including an offering or sale of shares of Guaranty Common Stock), or (ii) Guaranty issues stock options, restricted stock units or grants or similar equity awards or Guaranty Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of any such grants or awards.

Section 1.09 Change of Method. Westbound and Guaranty shall be empowered, upon their mutual agreement, at any time prior to the Effective Time, to change the method or structure of effecting the acquisition of Westbound by Guaranty (including the provisions of Article I), if and to the extent they both deem such change to be necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the Per Share Merger Consideration, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of the transaction to Westbound’s shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of the transaction to Westbound or Guaranty pursuant to this Agreement or (iv) materially impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a timely manner. The parties hereto agree to reflect any such change in an appropriate amendment to this Agreement executed by both parties in accordance with Section 11.18.

Section 1.10 Tax Free Reorganization. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, (a) the parties intend that (i) the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of the Code § 368(a) (and any comparable provision of state law) for federal and applicable state income tax purposes, and (ii) Guaranty, GBT and Westbound shall each be a party to such reorganization within the meaning of the Code § 368(b), (b) this Agreement is intended to be, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of the Code §§ 354, 361 and 368 and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, including within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.368-2(g) (and any comparable provision of state Law), and (c) unless otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Guaranty and Westbound (i) shall report the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning

of the Code § 368(a), (ii) shall not take any Tax reporting position inconsistent with such characterization and (iii) shall properly file with their federal income Tax Returns all information required by Treasury Regulations § 1.368-3.

DETERMINATION OF MERGER
CONSIDERATION AND EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.01 Determination of Merger Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement:

(a) “Aggregate Guaranty Stock Value” means the dollar value equal to the Determination Date VWAP multiplied by the Aggregate Stock Consideration.

(b) “Aggregate Cash Consideration” means $6,417,050, as it may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.02(a) or Section 9.01(h).

(c) “Aggregate Merger Consideration” means the sum of the Aggregate Cash Consideration and the Aggregate Stock Consideration.

(d) “Aggregate Option Consideration” means the aggregate cash amount paid by Guaranty for the cancellation of Westbound Options pursuant to Section 1.06(f) hereof.

(e) “Aggregate Stock Consideration” means 900,000 shares of Guaranty Common Stock, as it may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.02(a) or Section 9.01(h).

(f) “Determination Date” means the tenth (10th) trading day preceding the Closing Date.

(g) “Determination Date VWAP” means the average of the daily volume-weighted average sales price per share of Guaranty Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Global Select Market System (the “NASDAQ”), for the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending on and including the Determination Date, as reported by Bloomberg Financial, LP.

(h) “Diluted Westbound Shares” means the number of shares of Westbound Stock that would be outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, if all unexercised and unexpired Westbound Options were exercised to purchase shares of Westbound Common Stock available for purchase pursuant to such Westbound Options; provided, however, that any Westbound Option that has an exercise price per share of Westbound Common Stock that is greater than or equal to the Per Option Amount shall not be included for purposes of calculating the total shares of Westbound Stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time nor shall any Westbound Option that has been exercised prior to that time.

(i) “Per Option Amount” means an amount equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of the Aggregate Cash Consideration plus the Aggregate Guaranty Stock Value divided by (B) the number of Diluted Westbound Shares, rounded to the nearest cent.

(j) “Per Share Cash Consideration” means the amount of cash equal to the quotient of (A) the Shareholder Cash Consideration, divided by (B) the number of Westbound Closing Shares, rounded to the nearest cent, without interest.

(k) “Per Share Merger Consideration” means (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (B) the Per Share Stock Consideration.

(l) “Per Share Stock Consideration” means a fraction of a share of Guaranty Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the Aggregate Stock Consideration divided by (B) the number of Westbound Closing Shares, rounded to the nearest five decimal places.

(n) “Westbound Closing Shares” means the number of issued and outstanding shares of Westbound Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Westbound Closing Shares shall not include Treasury Shares.

Section 2.02 Adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

(a) Adjustment Based on Determination Date VWAP. If the Determination Date VWAP is equal to or greater than $36.14, then Guaranty shall decrease (A) the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock in the Aggregate Stock Consideration from 900,000 and/or (B) the Aggregate Cash Consideration, such that the Aggregate Merger Consideration is equal to $38,943,050 (valuing the Aggregate Stock Consideration based on the Determination Date VWAP). If the Determination Date VWAP is equal to or less $26.71, then Guaranty shall increase (A) the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock in the Aggregate Stock Consideration from 900,000 and/or (B) the Aggregate Cash Consideration, such that the Aggregate Merger Consideration is equal to $30,456,050 (valuing the Aggregate Stock Consideration based on the Determination Date VWAP). The determination as to whether the increase or decrease is effected through an increase or decrease in the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock, cash or a combination of both shall be in Guaranty’s sole and absolute discretion. Guaranty shall deliver written notice (the “Guaranty Adjustment Notice”) to Westbound of its election with respect to the increase or decrease of the consideration contemplated by this Section 2.02 at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date setting forth the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock constituting the Aggregate Stock Consideration and the amount of cash constituting the Aggregate Cash Consideration.

(b) Special Dividend. Immediately prior to the Closing, Westbound shall make a special dividend to its shareholders in accordance with the Articles of Association, as amended, and a payment to the holders of Westbound Options, on a pro rata basis to the Westbound Common Stock, based upon the number of Diluted Westbound Shares held by each such Person, equal to the amount by which Final Adjusted Tangible Equity exceeds $16,500,000 (the “Special Dividend”), if at all. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of the Special Dividend will be distributed to both Westbound shareholders and paid to the holders of Westbound Options, on a pro rata basis to the Westbound Common Stock, as if the holders of Westbound Options held the shares

underlying such Westbound Options on the record date of the Special Dividend. If Westbound has not received all necessary regulatory approvals required to make such Special Dividend prior to the Effective Time, the amount shall be added to the Merger Consideration and paid by Guaranty at the Effective Time.

(i) “Adjusted Tangible Equity” means (A) Westbound’s stockholders’ equity less goodwill, core deposit intangibles and other intangible assets other than the deferred tax asset, net of accumulated amortization, as such components are determined pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) minus (B) all Transaction Expenses through the Closing Date to the extent not paid or accrued by Westbound or otherwise accounted for in the calculation of Adjusted Tangible Equity, whether or not required under GAAP. The calculation of Adjusted Tangible Equity shall include (A) unrealized gains and losses on Westbound’s investment securities and (B) the reduction in tax liability resulting from amounts incurred in connection with the payments to the holders of Westbound Options pursuant to Section 1.06(f) and Section 2.02(b).

(ii) “Transaction Expenses” means all of the costs and expenses of Westbound incurred (or to be incurred) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement through the Closing Date, including without limitation: (A) the amount of any costs, fees, expenses and commissions payable to any broker, finder, financial advisor or investment banking firm in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (B) the amount of all legal and accounting fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (C) the premium or additional cost or expense incurred to purchase the D&O Tail Policy pursuant to Section 5.16; (D) the amount of any costs, fees, expenses, contract payments, penalties or liquidated damages associated with or incurred in connection with the termination of Terminated Contracts (as defined in Section 5.17); (E) 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 arrangements or severance, noncompetition, retention or bonus arrangements between Westbound and any other Person (including any “excess parachute payments” within the Code § 280G or similarly applicable state Law); (F) the accrual of any future benefit payments due under any salary continuation, deferred compensation or other similar agreements through the date of final payment; (G) the amount of any cost to fully fund, terminate and liquidate any Westbound Employee Plan and to pay all related expenses and fees, including expenses and fees associated with any governmental filings in connection with such termination, to the extent such termination is required hereunder or requested by Guaranty; (H) any severance payments made by Westbound to Terminated Employees (as defined in Section 6.10(b)) at or prior to the Effective Time and any retention or “stay-put” bonuses paid by Westbound to its employees at or prior to the Effective Time; (I) fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate fees, expenses and costs of the Neutral Accounting Firm under Section 2.02(h), if applicable; (J) any amount required to be added to Westbound’s allowance

for loan and lease losses pursuant to Section 5.18 so that such allowance equals the Minimum Allowance Amount as of the Calculation Date; and (K) such other amounts as are agreed upon by Westbound and Guaranty. For purposes of clarity, in no event shall the Adjusted Tangible Equity be reduced by Transaction Expenses under Section 2.02(c)(ii) to the extent that such Transaction Expense has already been deducted from Westbound’s stockholders’ equity.

(d) Schedule 2.02(d) sets forth a projection of Adjusted Tangible Equity (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”), which is derived from the Westbound Financial Statements described in Section 3.05(a).

(e) Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Westbound shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Guaranty an updated Preliminary Closing Statement as of the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the Closing Date prior to the anticipated Closing Date (the “Calculation Date”) (such statement, the “Final Closing Statement”). Such Final Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Preliminary Closing Statement. The Adjusted Tangible Equity set forth in the Final Closing Statement is referred to as the “Final Adjusted Tangible Equity”.

(f) Subject to applicable Law, Guaranty shall have the right to review, and shall have reasonable access to, all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by Westbound or its accountants in connection with Westbound’s preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement and the Final Closing Statement, as well as to executive, finance and accounting personnel of Westbound and any other information which Guaranty may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Preliminary Closing Statement and the Final Closing Statement; provided, however, that Westbound shall not be required to provide Guaranty access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would reasonably be expected to waive the protection of any privilege or the work product doctrine. The parties will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(g) In the event Guaranty disputes the Final Closing Statement (including the Final Adjusted Tangible Equity), Guaranty shall, within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the Final Closing Statement, give Westbound written notice of its objections thereto (the “Objection Notice”), describing the nature of the dispute in reasonable detail and specifying those items and amounts as to which Guaranty disagrees and, based on the information at its disposal, specifying Guaranty’s good faith proposed calculation of Final Adjusted Tangible Equity. If Guaranty does not timely deliver an Objection Notice within such three (3) Business Day period, the Final Adjusted Tangible Equity set forth in the Final Closing Statement delivered by Westbound shall be, absent fraud, final and binding on all the parties.

(h) If Guaranty timely delivers an Objection Notice, then Closing shall be delayed and Guaranty and Westbound shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Guaranty and Westbound cannot resolve the dispute within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Objection Notice (the “Initial Resolution Period”), Guaranty and Westbound shall appoint a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm of national or regional reputation (the “Neutral

Accounting Firm”) to arbitrate the dispute under the rules the Neutral Accounting Firm imposes. The Neutral Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing only the particular disputes referred to in the Objection Notice, and the Neutral Accounting Firm’s resolution of any disputed item shall be no greater than the higher amount, and no less than the lower amount, calculated or proposed by Westbound and Guaranty with respect to such disputed item, as the case may be. Upon reaching its determination of the Final Adjusted Tangible Equity, the Neutral Accounting Firm shall deliver a copy of its calculation of the Final Adjusted Tangible Equity to Guaranty and Westbound. The determination of the Neutral Accounting Firm shall be made within twenty (20) calendar days after its engagement (which engagement shall be made no later than five (5) calendar days after the end of the Initial Resolution Period) and, absent fraud, shall be final and binding on all the parties. No party or its Affiliates shall seek further recourse to courts, other tribunals or otherwise, other than to enforce the final decision of the Neutral Accounting Firm as to the determination of the Final Adjusted Tangible Equity. Fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate fees, expenses and costs of the Neutral Accounting Firm shall be borne by Guaranty, and the other fifty percent (50%) of such fees, expenses and costs shall be reflected in Transaction Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the dispute resolution process contemplated by Section 2.02(g) and Section 2.02(h) shall be only to determine the disputed items reflected on the Final Closing Statement and necessary to the calculation of the Final Adjusted Tangible Equity as of the Calculation Date, regardless of the date on which the Neutral Accounting Firm delivers its calculation; provided, however, that if the dispute resolution process by this Section 2.02(h) delays the Closing Date by more than fifteen (15) Business Days and the Neutral Accounting Firm determines that the calculation of Final Book Value originally made by Westbound was correct, then any increase or decrease in the shareholders’ equity of Westbound after the Calculation Date shall be determined by the Neutral Accounting Firm (as of the date of its determination) and included in the calculation of the Final Adjusted Tangible Equity. If the Closing Date is delayed by the dispute resolution process, the Closing Date shall be rescheduled and held on a date mutually acceptable to Guaranty and Westbound within three (3) Business Days after the Final Adjusted Tangible Equity is finally determined pursuant to the dispute resolution process.

Section 2.03 Escrow Consideration.

(a) On the Closing Date, Guaranty shall deposit or cause to be deposited Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in cash out of the Aggregate Cash Consideration, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.18 (the “Escrow Consideration”), into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with GBT (or such other Person as may be designated by the mutual agreement of the Westbound Representative and Guaranty), in its capacity as escrow agent, to be held in the Escrow Account and distributed only in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Consideration shall be deducted from the Shareholder Cash Consideration.

(b) The amount deducted from each Westbound shareholder’s portion of the Shareholder Cash Consideration and deposited in the Escrow Account shall be equal to (i) the quotient of (A) the Escrow Consideration divided by (B) the Shareholder Cash Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the value of such shareholder’s portion of the Shareholder Cash Consideration.

(c) Westbound and Guaranty agree that for all Tax purposes: (i) Guaranty shall be treated as the owner of amounts in the Escrow Account until such funds are distributed to the Westbound shareholders and during the Escrow Period (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Amounts, if any, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Guaranty, and (ii) the Westbound shareholders shall be treated as receiving only such amounts as actually paid from the Escrow Account to such Westbound shareholder and any such amounts actually paid from the Escrow Account to such Westbound shareholders shall be treated as having been received as additional Merger Consideration for such shareholder’s Westbound Stock pursuant to the Merger. No party shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with the foregoing.

Section 2.04 Exchange Procedures.

(a) On the Business Day before the Closing Date, Guaranty shall deposit or cause to be deposited in trust with Computershare Inc. (the “Exchange Agent”) (i) certificates for shares or evidence of shares in book entry form representing the Aggregate Stock Consideration, and (ii) cash in an aggregate amount sufficient to make the appropriate payments (A) of the Aggregate Cash Consideration (less the Escrow Consideration), as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 9.01(h), and (B) to holders of Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 1.06(e), if any (such certificates and cash being referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). Guaranty shall also make available to the Exchange Agent, for addition to the Exchange Fund, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.07. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose, except as provided in this Agreement.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, but in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter, Guaranty shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or deliver to each person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Westbound Stock (a “Holder”) a 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 in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration into which each share of Westbound Stock represented by such Certificate(s) shall be converted pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Transmittal Materials”)). Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with Transmittal Materials properly completed and duly executed, the Holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange for each share of Westbound Stock represented by such Certificate, and Guaranty shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration into which each share of Westbound Stock represented by such Certificate(s) has been converted pursuant to this Agreement and such Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Within five (5) Business Days after surrender to the Exchange Agent by a Holder of its Certificate(s), accompanied by properly completed Transmittal Materials, the Exchange Agent shall pay and distribute to such Holder the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Westbound Stock represented by its Certificate(s), as applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.04, each share represented by the Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall represent for all purposes the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.

(c) After the Effective Time, the share transfer ledger of Westbound shall be closed and there shall be no transfers on the share transfer books of Westbound of the Westbound Stock which were outstanding immediately before such 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 2.04.

(d) No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to the 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 2.04. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.04, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which had become payable after the Effective Time with respect to the shares of Guaranty Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Westbound for six (6) months after the Exchange Agent mails the Transmittal Materials pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be delivered to Guaranty upon demand, and any shareholders of Westbound who have not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures in this Section 2.04 shall look to Guaranty only, and not the Exchange Agent, for the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such shares. If outstanding Certificates for Westbound Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed before the date on which such shares of Guaranty Common Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to any governmental unit or agency, then Guaranty shall, after providing all notices required by abandoned property or any other applicable Law, escheat the unclaimed items to the applicable Governmental Authority.

(f) If any shares of Guaranty Common Stock are 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, Westbound, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Westbound Stock for any share of 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) If any Certificate has 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 amount of Per Share Merger Consideration relating to the shares of Westbound Stock represented by the relevant

missing Certificate) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Guaranty, GBT or Westbound with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration deliverable in respect to the Westbound Stock represented by such Certificate thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Guaranty, GBT and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Westbound Stock or Westbound Options or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Guaranty, GBT or the Exchange Agent, in its reasonable discretion, determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, that Guaranty, GBT and the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall
(1) provide timely notice to the relevant holder of Westbound Stock or Westbound Options prior to any such withholding and (2) provide such holder with a reasonable timeframe in which to submit documentation to reduce or eliminate any such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Guaranty, GBT or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.04 No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by Westbound with any of the terms or provisions hereof (if the required regulatory and shareholder approvals and any requisite consents of third parties are obtained) will (a) violate any provision of the articles or bylaws of Westbound; (b) violate any Law applicable to Westbound or any of its Properties or assets; or (c) except as set forth on Schedule 3.04 of the Disclosure Schedules, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, result in the termination or cancellation under, accelerate the performance required by or rights or obligations under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the Properties or assets of Westbound under, or require the prior consent of a third party pursuant to, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture or deed of trust, or any material license, lease, agreement, contract or other instrument or obligation to which Westbound is a party, or by which Westbound or any of its Properties, assets or business activities may be bound or subject, excluding from the foregoing clause (c) such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults, which individually or in the aggregate, could not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Change to Westbound.

Section 3.05 Financial Statements; Call Reports.

(c) The allowance for loan and lease losses shown in the Westbound Financial Statements and the Westbound Call Reports was, and the allowance for loan and lease losses to be shown on any financial statements of Westbound or the Westbound Call Reports as of any date subsequent to Execution Date will be calculated in accordance with GAAP and/or regulatory accounting principles (“RAP”) (as applicable) in all material respects as applied to banking institutions and all applicable rules and regulations, and, except as set forth on Schedule 3.05(c) of the Disclosure Schedules, in the reasonable opinion of Westbound’s management, such allowance for loan and lease losses is, as of the dates of such financial statements and/or call reports, adequate to absorb all reasonably anticipated losses in the Loan portfolio of Westbound, net of recourse relating to loans previously charged-off, and recourse obligations in respect of Loans sold by Westbound, and no facts have subsequently come to the Knowledge of Westbound which would cause it to modify in any material way the amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses contained in the Westbound Financial Statements or the Westbound Call Reports.

(i) Westbound and each of the Westbound Representatives (to the extent applicable) has complied in all material respects with Section 5.03;

(ii) the Westbound Board, after consultation with its outside counsel, has determined in good faith that failure to make a Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

Guaranty shall request permission for all such access reasonably in advance and all such access shall be conducted in a manner designed to minimize disruption to the normal business operations and employee or customer relations of Westbound. Westbound agrees at any time, and from time to time, to furnish to Guaranty as soon as practicable, any additional information that Guaranty may reasonably request. No investigation by Guaranty or its representatives shall affect the representations and warranties set forth herein. All inspections by Guaranty under this provision will be at its expense.

(b) As soon as practicable after they become available, Westbound will deliver or make available to Guaranty all unaudited monthly financial statements prepared for the internal use of management of Westbound and all Reports of Condition and Income for Westbound filed with any Governmental Authority after the Execution Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be required to provide materials or information regarding any discussion that relates to matters involving this Agreement or any Acquisition Proposal (other than information required to be provided pursuant to Section 5.03(b)), and no party shall be required to provide access to or to disclose confidential supervisory information (as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. § 261.2) or other information where such access or disclosure would, in the opinion of counsel, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the entity in possession or control of such information (after giving due consideration to the existence of any common interest, joint defense or similar agreement between the parties) or contravene any Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 5.09 Notifications.

(a) Westbound shall promptly notify Guaranty in writing:

(i) if Westbound becomes aware of any fact or condition that makes untrue, or shows to have been untrue, in any material respect, any material written information provided by Westbound to Guaranty, any schedule to this Agreement or any representation or warranty made by Westbound in this Agreement or that results in Westbound’s failure to comply with any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement;

(ii) of any Proceeding or contingent liability that is reasonably expected to become the subject of a Proceeding, against Westbound or affecting any of its Properties, if such litigation or potential litigation is reasonably likely, in the event of an unfavorable outcome, to result in a Material Adverse Change to Westbound. Westbound shall promptly notify Guaranty of any Proceeding, pending or, to the Knowledge of Westbound, threatened against Westbound that (i) questions or could reasonably be expected to question the validity of this Agreement or the agreements contemplated hereby, or any actions taken or to be taken by Westbound pursuant hereto or (ii) seeks to enjoin or otherwise restrain the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; and

(iii) if any change shall have occurred or, to the Knowledge of Westbound, been threatened (or any development shall have occurred or, to the Knowledge of Westbound, been threatened involving a prospective change) in the business, financial

condition or operations of Westbound that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change to Westbound.

(b) No notification by Westbound under this Section 5.09 shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

Section 5.10 Non-Governmental Consents and Approvals. Westbound shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents and approvals from third parties listed on Schedule 3.04 of the Disclosure Schedules. Westbound will cooperate in all commercially reasonable respects with Guaranty to obtain all such approvals and consents required of Guaranty.

Section 5.11 Environmental Investigation; Right to Terminate Agreement.

(a) Guaranty and its consultants, agents and representatives, at the sole cost and expense of Guaranty, shall have the right to the same extent that Westbound has the right, but not the obligation or responsibility, to inspect any Property, including conducting asbestos surveys and sampling, environmental assessments and investigation, and other environmental surveys and analyses including soil and ground sampling (“Environmental Inspections”). Guaranty shall notify Westbound in writing before any Environmental Inspection, and Westbound may place reasonable restrictions on the time of such Environmental Inspection. If, as a result of any such Environmental Inspection, further investigation (“Secondary Investigation”) including, test borings, soil, water and other sampling is deemed desirable by Guaranty, Guaranty shall (i) notify Westbound in writing of any Property for which it intends to conduct such a Secondary Investigation and the reasons for the Secondary Investigation, and (ii) at the sole cost and expense of Guaranty, commence the Secondary Investigation. Guaranty shall give reasonable written notice to Westbound of the Secondary Investigation, and Westbound may place reasonable time and place restrictions on the Secondary Investigation.

(b) Guaranty shall make available to Westbound the results and reports of such Environmental Inspections and Secondary Investigations after Guaranty receives or is advised of such results. 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, except as otherwise required by Law, reports to any Governmental Authority of the results of any Environmental Inspection, Secondary Investigation or other environmental survey shall not be made by Guaranty. Guaranty shall make no such report before Closing unless required to do so by applicable Law, and in such case will give Westbound reasonable written notice of Guaranty’s intentions.

(c) Guaranty shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if, with respect to the Properties (as defined in Section 11.10) only, (i) the factual substance of any warranty or representation set forth in Section 3.21 is not materially true and accurate; (ii) the results of an Environmental Inspection or Secondary Investigation are disapproved by Guaranty because such Environmental Inspection or Secondary Investigation identifies material violations or potential material violations of Environmental Laws; (iii) Westbound has refused to allow Guaranty to

conduct an Environmental Inspection or Secondary Investigation in a manner that Guaranty reasonably considers necessary; (iv) the Environmental Inspection or Secondary Investigation identifies any past or present event, condition or circumstance that would result in a Material Adverse Change to Westbound; (v) the Environmental Inspection or Secondary Investigation identifies the presence of any underground or above ground storage tank in, on or under any Property that is not shown to be in material compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to the tank either at the Execution Date or at a future time certain, or that has had a release of petroleum or some other Hazardous Material that has not been cleaned up to the satisfaction of the relevant Governmental Authority or any other party with a legal right to compel cleanup, which if Westbound were to take cleanup or remedial action to correct same, would result in a Material Adverse Change; or (vi) the Environmental Inspection or Secondary Investigation identifies the presence of any asbestos-containing material in, on or under any Property, the removal of which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change to Westbound. On or before the date that is sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, Guaranty shall advise Westbound in writing (the “Environmental Notice”) as to whether Guaranty intends to terminate this Agreement because Guaranty disapproves of the results of the Environmental Inspection or Secondary Inspection in respect of the Properties. Upon receipt of the Environmental Notice, Westbound shall have the opportunity to correct any objected to violations or conditions to Guaranty’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after the date of the Environmental Notice. If Westbound fails to demonstrate correction of the violations or conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Guaranty, Guaranty may terminate the Agreement on the thirty-first (31st) day after the delivery of the Environmental Notice.

(d) Westbound agrees to make available to Guaranty and its consultants, agents and representatives all documents and other material relating to environmental conditions of any Property including the results of other environmental inspections and surveys. Westbound also agrees that all engineers and consultants who prepared or furnished such reports may discuss such reports and information with Guaranty and 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 5.12 Employee Benefit Plans. To the extent requested by Guaranty, Westbound shall execute and deliver such instruments and take such other actions as Guaranty may reasonably request in order to cause the amendment or termination of any Westbound Employee Plan or contractual arrangement with a Westbound PEO on terms satisfactory to Guaranty and in accordance with applicable Law and effective prior to the Closing Date; except that the winding up of any such plan may be completed following the Closing Date.

Section 5.13 Supplemental Disclosure Schedules. At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing, Westbound shall provide Guaranty with supplemental Disclosure Schedules to be delivered by Westbound pursuant to this Agreement reflecting any material changes thereto between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, provided, that although such supplement or amendment shall be deemed to modify the Disclosure Schedules for the purpose of determining whether there is a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, such supplement or amendment shall not be deemed to have modified the representations, warranties

and covenants for the purpose of determining whether the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof have been satisfied.

Section 5.14 Releases. Westbound shall obtain from each of the directors and executive officers of Westbound a written release in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit E executed by such director or executive officer and dated the Closing Date, releasing Westbound from claims arising before the Effective Time.

Section 5.15 Conforming Accounting Adjustments. Westbound shall, if requested in writing by Guaranty, consistent with GAAP, RAP and applicable banking Laws, immediately before Closing, make such accounting entries as Guaranty may reasonably request in order to conform the accounting records of Westbound to the accounting policies and practices of Guaranty. No such adjustment by Westbound shall of itself constitute or be deemed to be a breach, violation or failure by Westbound to satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, condition or other provision of this Agreement or constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement by Guaranty or be an acknowledgment by Westbound of any adverse circumstances for purposes of determining whether the conditions to Guaranty’s obligations under this Agreement have been satisfied, nor will any such adjustment affect the calculation of the Adjusted Tangible Equity. The recording of any such adjustments shall not be deemed to imply any misstatement of previously furnished financial statements or information and shall not be construed as concurrence by Westbound or its management with any such adjustments.

Section 5.16 D & O Liability Insurance. Contemporaneously with the Closing, Westbound shall purchase an extended reporting period for six (6) years under Westbound’s existing directors and officers liability insurance policy, on terms approved by Guaranty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, for purposes of covering actions occurring before the Effective Time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the premiums for such coverage shall be paid and accrued for by Westbound and shall be included (as a deduction) in the calculation of Adjusted Tangible Equity.

Section 5.17 Termination of Contracts.

(a) Westbound will take all actions necessary to terminate each Contract listed on Schedule 5.17(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, and any other Contract reasonably requested by Guaranty, prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Terminated Contracts”); provided, that any and all costs, fees, expenses, contract payments, penalties or liquidated damages necessary to be paid by Westbound in connection with the termination of any Terminated Contract shall be accrued or paid by Westbound on or prior to the Calculation Date in accordance with this Section 5.17(a) and shall be reflected in the calculation of Transaction Expenses as contemplated by Section 2.02(c)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, Guaranty will not pay or be responsible for the payment of any costs, fees, expenses, contract payments, penalties or liquidated damages in connection with the termination of any contract subject to this Section 5.17(a).

(b) Such notice and actions by Westbound pursuant to this Section 5.17 will be in accordance with the terms of such Contracts and applicable Law.

Section 5.18 Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.

(a) Westbound shall maintain its allowance for loan and lease losses at the greater of (i) at a level consistent with its historical methodology and in material compliance with GAAP and RAP (as applicable) and the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses or (ii) one and twenty-three hundredths percent (1.23%) of all outstanding Loans of Westbound (the “Minimum Allowance Amount”); provided, that any specific reserves for the Loans set forth on Schedule 5.18 of the Disclosure Schedules (which shall be subject to the Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 2.03, collectively, the “Subject Loans”) shall be excluded from the calculation of Westbound’s allowance for loan and lease losses for purposes of clause (i) of this sentence. If the allowance for loan and lease losses is less than the Minimum Allowance Amount on the Calculation Date, Westbound shall make a provision for loan loss in an amount necessary to increase the allowance for loan and lease losses to an amount equal to the Minimum Allowance Amount as of the Calculation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any such provision shall be taken into account in the calculation of Adjusted Tangible Equity pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i).

(b) With respect to any Subject Loan that is Resolved by Westbound between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, Guaranty agrees that (i) such Subject Loan shall be removed from Schedule 5.18 of the Disclosure Schedules and (ii) the total escrow reserve for the Subject Loans indicated on Schedule 5.18 of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Escrow Reserve”) shall be correspondingly reduced by the specific reserve set forth on Schedule 5.18 of the Disclosure Schedules for such Subject Loan. In the event that any of the Subject Loans are Resolved by Westbound between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, the Escrow Reserve shall be updated as of the Closing Date to reflect any reductions to the Escrow Reserve in accordance with the foregoing sentence. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Resolved” means, with respect to a Subject Loan, (i) (A) the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest payable on the Subject Loan has been paid in full and is no longer outstanding, (B) the sale of the Subject Loan to a third party, (C) the Subject Loan has been fully charged off, (D) Westbound has foreclosed on the Subject Loan and liquidated and disposed of the collateral securing the Subject Loan, or (E) the other complete disposition of a Subject Loan, and in each case (with respect to (A) through (E) above), the Subject Loan is no longer on the books of Westbound, or (ii) the Subject Loan is upgraded to a “pass” rating by Westbound, provided that Guaranty has agreed to such “pass” grading in writing as determined in its reasonable discretion.

(c) If the outstanding principal balance of any Subject Loan is paid down by the borrower or charged off by Westbound between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, in either case, to an amount less than the sum of the specific reserve plus the ALLL Credit for such Subject Loan (each as set forth on Schedule 5.18 of the Disclosure Schedules), Guaranty agrees that the specific reserve for such Subject Loan shall be reduced to the outstanding principal balance of such Subject Loan as of the Closing Date. In the event that any of the specific reserves of the Subject Loans are reduced in accordance with this Section 5.18(c), then the Escrow Reserve shall be updated as of the Closing Date to reflect any such reductions.

Section 5.19 Tax Matters.

(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if any, shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Westbound when due. If Westbound is responsible under applicable Law, Westbound will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if Guaranty is responsible for such filing under applicable Law, Westbound will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(b) Westbound shall comply with the recordkeeping and information reporting requirements set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3.

(e) In the event of any audit of Westbound’s federal or state Tax Returns prior to the consummation of the Merger, Westbound shall cooperate with Guaranty regarding any such audit and Westbound shall not settle the same without the written consent of Guaranty, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 5.20 Tax Certificates. Officers of Westbound shall execute and deliver to Fenimore, Kay, Harrison & Ford, LLP and to Hunton & Williams, LLP, respectively, certificates containing appropriate representations and covenants, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such counsel, at such time or times as may be reasonably requested by such counsel, including prior to the effective date of the Proxy Statement and the Closing Date, in connection with such counsel’s deliveries of opinions with respect to the Tax treatment of the Merger pursuant to Section 7.12 and Section 8.14.

Section 5.21 Cancellation of Westbound Options. Westbound shall, prior to the Closing Date, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents as may be required to effect the treatment of Westbound Options pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.06(f) and to cancel the Westbound Options outstanding as of the Effective Time and to obtain the agreements provided for by Section 8.16.

(b) Guaranty agrees that none of the information supplied by Guaranty for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act and (ii) any other filings made under applicable federal or Texas banking or securities Laws, shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Guaranty further agrees that if it shall become aware before the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of any information furnished by such party that would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or the Proxy

Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform Westbound thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement. Guaranty agrees to advise Westbound, promptly after Guaranty receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of shares of Guaranty Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or, to the extent Guaranty is aware thereof, threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or for additional information. Guaranty agrees to promptly provide to Westbound copies of all correspondence between Guaranty or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand.

Section 6.06 NASDAQ Listing. Guaranty shall timely file all documents, take all actions reasonably necessary and otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to list, before the Closing Date, on the NASDAQ the shares of Guaranty Common Stock to be issued to Westbound shareholders in connection with the Merger.

Section 6.07 Issuance of Guaranty Common Stock. The shares of Guaranty Common Stock to be issued by Guaranty to the shareholders of Westbound pursuant to this Agreement will, on the issuance and delivery to such shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Guaranty Common Stock to be issued to the shareholders of Westbound pursuant to this Agreement are and will be free of any preemptive rights of the shareholders of Guaranty or any other Person. The shares of Guaranty Common Stock to be issued to the shareholders of Westbound pursuant to this Agreement (and pursuant to the Registration Statement after it has become effective) will be freely tradable by each Westbound shareholder who is not a dealer for purposes of the Securities Act, except for shares of Guaranty Common Stock issued to any Westbound shareholder who may be deemed to be an “affiliate” (under the Exchange Act) of Guaranty after completion of the Merger.

Section 6.08 Regulatory and Other Approvals. With the cooperation of Westbound, Guaranty shall file or cause to be filed any applications for regulatory approvals required to be obtained by Guaranty and GBT in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including an application for the prior approval of the Merger by the OCC. Guaranty shall provide Westbound, and its legal, financial and accounting advisors, the right to review and provide comments upon the non-confidential portions of regulatory applications prior to submission to the Regulatory Authorities, provided that Westbound and such advisors review and provide comments in a reasonably prompt manner. Guaranty shall consider in good faith all comments from Westbound and its legal, financial and accounting advisors to such applications, all amendments and supplements thereto and all responses to requests for additional information. Such applications shall be filed within thirty (30) calendar days of the Execution Date. Guaranty shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain all such regulatory approvals and any other approvals from third parties at the earliest practicable time. Guaranty shall keep Westbound reasonably informed as to the status of such applications and filings, and Guaranty shall promptly furnish Westbound and its counsel with copies of all such regulatory filings and all correspondence for which confidential treatment has not been requested.

Section 6.09 Director and Officer Indemnification. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Guaranty or GBT shall indemnify, advance expenses to, defend and hold harmless each Person entitled to indemnification or advance of expenses from Westbound (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all liabilities, costs, expenses, judgment, fines, losses, claims, or damages arising out of or relating to any actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, matters related to the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or consummation of the Merger) to the same extent and subject to the conditions, if any, set forth in the Articles of Association and bylaws of Westbound as in effect on the Execution Date; provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides a signed written undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under applicable Law. If Guaranty or GBT fails promptly to pay the amounts due pursuant to this Section 6.09, and, in order to obtain such payment, an Indemnified Party commences a Proceeding which results in a judgment against Guaranty or GBT for failure to provide indemnification, Guaranty or GBT shall pay the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such Proceeding. Furthermore, if Guaranty, GBT, or any of their respective successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Guaranty, GBT,or the respective surviving company shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.09 prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of such transaction.

Section 6.10 Employee Matters.

(a) Guaranty agrees that the employees of Westbound who continue their employment after the Closing Date (the “Westbound Employees”) will be entitled to participate as newly hired employees in the employee benefit plans and programs maintained for employees of Guaranty and GBT, subject to the granting of credit for prior service as provided below, in accordance with the respective terms of such plans and programs, and Guaranty shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to facilitate coverage of the Westbound Employees in such plans and programs and the granting of such credit from and after the Closing Date.

(b) GBT shall, on or before the fifteenth (15th) calendar day prior to the anticipated Closing Date, provide Westbound with a list of employees of Westbound to whom GBT will not offer employment (the “Terminated Employees”) and a list of employees of Westbound who will be provided with retention agreements, including the terms and conditions of such retention agreements. Such lists will be kept confidential by Westbound and shall be disclosed only to the executive officers of Westbound who need to know such information, and such information shall not be discussed with employees of Westbound without the prior written consent of Guaranty, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Provided that Westbound has properly terminated such employees at or prior to the Effective Time, Westbound may make severance payments to the Terminated Employees in accordance with Westbound’s existing severance policies in the Westbound Employee Plans as of the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any such severance payments and retention or “stay put” bonuses paid by Westbound shall be Transaction Expenses.

(c) Each Westbound Employee will be entitled to credit for prior service with Westbound for all purposes under the employee welfare benefit plans and other employee benefit plans and programs (other than for purposes of vesting under stock incentive plans and for benefits accrual purposes under Guaranty’s employee stock ownership plan), sponsored by Guaranty or GBT to the extent permitted by applicable Law. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any eligibility waiting period and pre-existing condition exclusion applicable to such plans and programs shall be waived with respect to each Westbound Employee and their eligible dependents. Without limiting the foregoing, Guaranty shall extend coverage to Westbound Employees for health care, dependent care and limited purpose health care flexible spending accounts established under the Code § 125 to the same extent as available to similarly situated employees of Guaranty or its Subsidiaries to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Guaranty shall give effect to any elections made by Westbound Employees with respect to such accounts under Westbound’s Employee Plan to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Westbound Employees shall be credited with amounts available for reimbursement equal to such amounts as were credited under Westbound’s Employee Plan to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that waiving such conditions or crediting such amounts requires the consent of Guaranty’s or GBT’s health insurance carrier, Guaranty shall only be required to use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such carrier to waive such conditions and credit such amounts. Guaranty shall provide each Westbound Employee with credit for co-payments and deductibles paid in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under the Guaranty plans in which such Westbound Employee is entitled to participate. For purposes of determining Westbound Employee’s benefits for the calendar year in which the Merger occurs under Guaranty’s vacation program, any vacation taken by a Westbound Employee immediately preceding the Closing Date for the calendar year in which the Merger occurs will be deducted from the total Guaranty vacation benefit available to such Westbound Employee for such calendar year.

Section 6.11 Tax Matters.

(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if any, shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Guaranty when due. If Guaranty is responsible under applicable Law, Guaranty will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if Westbound is responsible for such filing under applicable Law, Guaranty will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(b) Guaranty shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or caused to be filed, all Tax Returns for Westbound that are filed after the Closing and shall pay all Taxes with respect to such Tax Returns. Guaranty shall not amend any Tax Return with respect to any taxable period beginning on or prior to the Closing Date, without the consent of the Westbound Shareholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if such amendment would reasonably be expected to cause additional Tax liability for former Westbound shareholders.

(c) After the Effective Time, Guaranty may settle any audit of Westbound commencing prior to the Effective Time in any matter that it determines is appropriate ; provided, however, the Westbound Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right, at its own expense, to control any audit relating to any and all Taxes for any taxable period of Westbound ending on or before the Effective Time if such audit would reasonably be expected to cause additional Tax liability for former Westbound shareholders and Guaranty shall not be permitted to settle any such audit without the consent of the Westbound Shareholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) Guaranty shall comply with the recordkeeping and information reporting requirements set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.368-3.

(e) Guaranty will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed as a direct result of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) Guaranty will not take any action or omit to take any action, including but not limited to any action or omission after the Effective Time, that would prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization described in Code § 368(a) or satisfying the “continuity of business enterprise” requirement for a “reorganization” as provided in Treasury Regulation § 1.368-1(d).

Section 6.12 Tax Certificates. Officers of Guaranty and GBT shall execute and deliver to Fenimore, Kay, Harrison & Ford, LLP and to Hunton & Williams, LLP, respectively, certificates containing appropriate representations and covenants, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such counsel, at such time or times as may be reasonably requested by such counsel, including prior to the effective date of the Proxy Statement and the Closing Date, in connection with such counsel’s deliveries of opinions with respect to the Tax treatment of the Merger pursuant to Section 7.12 and Section 8.14.

Section 6.13 No Control of Westbound’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Guaranty or GBT, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Westbound prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, (a) each of Westbound and Guaranty will exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations, (b) Westbound will not be under any obligation to act in a manner that could reasonably be deemed to constitute anti-competitive behavior under federal or state antitrust laws and (c) Westbound will not be required to agree to any material obligation that is not contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

(a) by mutual consent of Guaranty and Westbound in a written instrument, if the board of directors of each so determines by a vote of a majority of the members of its entire board;

(b) by either the Guaranty Board or the Westbound Board if any Governmental Authority that must grant a Requisite Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, unless the failure to obtain a Requisite Regulatory Approval shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(c) by either the Guaranty Board or the Westbound Board (provided, that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before September 30, 2018 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that if the Merger has not been consummated on or before the Termination Date because approval to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has not been received from a Governmental Authority, then such date may be extended by either party without the consent of the other parties to this Agreement for a period not to exceed thirty-one (31) days; provided further that such Termination Date or extension thereof may also be extended to such later date as agreed upon by the parties hereto; provided further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(c) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been the primary cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date;

(d) by either the Guaranty Board or the Westbound Board (provided, that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties (or any such representation or warranty shall cease to be true) set forth in this Agreement on the part of Westbound, in the case of a termination by Guaranty, or Guaranty, in the case of a termination by Westbound, which breach or failure to be

true, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches by such party (or failures of such representations or warranties to be true), would constitute, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII, in the case of a termination by Guaranty, or Article VII, in the case of a termination by Westbound, and which is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice to Westbound, in the case of a termination by Guaranty, or Guaranty, in the case of a termination by Westbound, or by its nature or timing cannot be cured during such period (or such fewer days as remain prior to the Termination Date);

(e) by Guaranty, if the Westbound Board shall have (i) changed, withdrawn or failed to make a recommendation in the Proxy Statement that the shareholders of Westbound approve this Agreement, or withdrawn, modified or qualified such recommendation in a manner adverse to Guaranty, or resolved to do so, in any such case whether or not permitted by the terms hereof, (ii) recommended or endorsed a Superior Proposal, or (iii) breached its obligations under Section 5.03 or Section 5.04 in any material respect;

(ii) the number obtained by dividing the Determination Date VWAP by $31.43 is less than the number obtained by dividing (A) the Final Index Price (as defined below) by (B) the Initial Index Price (as defined below) and subtracting 0.15 from such quotient; provided, however, that a termination by Westbound pursuant to this Section 9.01(h) will have no force and effect if Guaranty agrees in writing (within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Westbound’s written notice of such termination) to increase (A) the number of shares of Guaranty Common Stock in the Aggregate Stock Consideration from 900,000 and/or (B) the Aggregate Cash Consideration, such that the Aggregate Merger Consideration is equal to $30,456,050 (valuing the Aggregate Stock Consideration based on the Determination Date VWAP). If within such five (5)-Business Day period, Guaranty delivers written notice to Westbound that Guaranty intends to proceed with the Merger by paying such additional consideration as contemplated by the preceding sentence, and notifies Guaranty in writing of the revised Aggregate Stock Consideration or the revised Aggregate Cash Consideration, then no termination will occur pursuant to this Section 9.01(h), and this Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms (except that the Aggregate Stock Consideration or the Aggregate Cash Consideration will be modified in accordance with this Section 9.01(h)).

For purposes of this Section 9.01(h), the following terms will have the meanings indicated below:

“Final Index Price” means the average of the daily closing value of the Index for the 15 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the tenth (10th) day prior to the Determination Date.

“Initial Index Price” means the closing value of the Index on the date immediately prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 9.02 Notice of Termination. The power of termination provided for by Section 9.01 may be exercised only by a notice given in writing, as provided for in Section 11.06.

Section 9.03 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Guaranty or Westbound as provided in Section 9.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Guaranty, Westbound, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) this Section 9.03, Article X, and Article XI shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Guaranty nor Westbound shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

(i) Section 9.01(e), then Westbound shall pay Guaranty, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Termination Fee on the date of termination, or

(ii) Section 9.01(f), if at the time of the failure of the shareholders to approve this Agreement there shall exist an Acquisition Proposal that has not been

withdrawn and that has been publicly announced or communicated to the Westbound shareholders, and, within twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, Westbound enters into a definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, then Westbound shall pay Guaranty, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Termination Fee on the date that Westbound enters into such a definitive agreement.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Westbound pursuant to Section 9.01(g), then Westbound shall pay Guaranty, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Termination Fee on the date of termination.

(e) Each of Guaranty and Westbound acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Westbound fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 9.03, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Guaranty commences a suit which results in a judgment against Westbound for the Termination Fee, such non-paying party shall pay the costs and expenses of Guaranty (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. In addition, if Westbound fails to pay the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.03, then Westbound shall pay interest on such overdue amounts at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” (as reported by Bloomberg Financial, LP or any successor thereto) in effect on the date on which such payment was required to be made for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid.

Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision in this Agreement. Each use herein of the masculine, neuter or feminine gender shall be deemed to include the other genders.

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules, the information contained therein is dated as of the date of this Agreement or, if delivered pursuant to Section 5.13, as of such date delivered. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the mere inclusion of an item as an exception to a representation or warranty will not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Change.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, a Schedule relating to a certain section may incorporate by reference disclosures made in other Schedules; provided, however, that any disclosure with respect to a particular Schedule will be deemed adequately disclosed in other Schedules to the extent it is readily apparent from the nature of the disclosure that such disclosure also applies to such other Schedules. Nothing in a Schedule is deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement unless the Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity.

Section 11.15 Binding Effect; Assignment. All of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, representatives and permitted assigns. Nothing expressed or referred to herein is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provision herein contained, it being the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement, the assumption of obligations and statements of responsibilities hereunder, and all other conditions and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and for the benefit of no other Person. Nothing in this Agreement shall act to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third party to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any third party any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is specifically intended by the parties to this Agreement that the Persons entitled to the benefits of the covenants contained in Section 6.09 are third-party beneficiaries solely with respect to such sections. No party to this Agreement shall assign this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment made or attempted in violation of this Section 11.15 shall be void and of no effect.

Section 11.16 Public Disclosure. None of Guaranty, GBT or Westbound will make, issue or release, or cause to be made, issued or released, any announcement, statement, press release, acknowledgment or other public disclosure of the existence, terms, conditions or status of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranty and Westbound, upon prior notice to the other party, will be permitted to make (i) disclosure to their own officers, directors, employees and shareholders, and (ii) any public disclosures or governmental filings as legal counsel

may deem necessary to maintain compliance with or to prevent violations of applicable Laws or that may be necessary to obtain regulatory approval for the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.17 Extension; Waiver. At any time before the Closing Date, the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension of waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party in the manner provided in Section 11.17, 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 party to this Agreement shall by any act (except by a written instrument given pursuant to Section 11.17) be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder by any party hereto shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver of any party of any right or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such party would otherwise have on any future occasion or to any right or remedy that any other party may have hereunder.

Section 11.18 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, at any time before or after approval of this Agreement by Westbound shareholders; but after the approval of this Agreement by Westbound shareholders, there shall not be, without the further approval of Westbound shareholders, any amendment of this Agreement that decreases the consideration to be paid for the shares of Westbound Stock pursuant to Section 1.06(c) that materially and adversely affects the rights of Westbound shareholders hereunder. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides that all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of Westbound (“Westbound Common Stock”), and all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share, of Westbound (“Westbound Preferred Stock”, together with Westbound Common Stock, “Westbound Stock”), excluding any Westbound Stock held by a Dissenting Shareholder and Treasury Shares, will be exchanged for such consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement;

(b) Except pursuant hereto, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which such Shareholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Shares;

(c) Such Shareholder does not beneficially own any Westbound Stock other than (i) the Shares and (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Westbound Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Westbound Stock set forth on the signature page of this Voting Agreement;

(d) Such Shareholder has full power and authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute and deliver this Voting Agreement and to perform fully such Shareholder’s obligations hereunder. This Voting Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Shareholder, enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with its terms;

(e) None of the execution and delivery of this Voting Agreement by such Shareholder, the consummation by such Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by such Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice or 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 such Shareholder or the Shares; and

(f) 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 Voting Agreement.

Section 2.While this Voting Agreement is in effect, each Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell or otherwise dispose of or encumber prior to the record date of the Westbound Shareholder Meeting (the “Westbound Meeting”) any or all of his or her Shares or (b) deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares or grant any proxy with respect thereto, other than to other members of the board of directors of Westbound (the “Westbound Board”) for the purpose of voting to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that the following transfers shall be permitted: (w) transfers to any member of the Shareholder’s family, subject to the transferee agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Voting Agreement, (x) transfers for estate and tax planning purposes, including transfers to relatives, trusts and charitable organizations, subject to the transferee agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Voting Agreement, (y) transfers to any other shareholder of Westbound who has executed a copy of this Voting Agreement on the date hereof,

Each Shareholder and Westbound acknowledges that the performance of this Voting Agreement is intended to benefit Guaranty.

Section 6.This Voting Agreement shall continue in effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms or (b) the Effective Time.

Section 7.Nothing in this Voting Agreement shall be deemed to restrict any of the Shareholders from taking any action in the capacity of a director or officer (if applicable) of Westbound that such Shareholder believes is necessary to fulfill the Shareholder’s duties and obligations as a director or officer (if applicable), and no such actions shall be deemed to be a breach of this Voting Agreement. Each Shareholder is executing this Voting Agreement solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of Westbound.

Section 8.Each Shareholder hereby (a) confirms his or her knowledge of the availability of the rights of dissenting shareholders under the TBOC with respect to the Merger, and (b) confirms receipt of a copy of the provisions of the TBOC related to the rights of dissenting shareholders. Each Shareholder hereby waives and agrees not to assert, and shall use its best efforts to cause any of its Affiliates who hold of record any of the Shareholder’s Shares to waive and not to assert, any dissenter’s rights with respect to the Merger that the Shareholder or any of its Affiliates may now or hereafter have with respect to any Shares (or any other shares of capital stock of Westbound that

A-3

the Shareholder shall hold of record at the time that the Shareholder may be entitled to assert dissenter’s rights with respect to the Merger) whether pursuant to the TBOC or otherwise.

Section 9.This Voting Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented with respect to a particular Shareholder except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by Westbound, Guaranty and such Shareholder. Any such modification, amendment, alteration or supplement shall only apply to the Shareholder(s) executing such written agreement and this Voting Agreement will remain in full force and effect with respect to any Shareholder who does not execute such written agreement.

Section 10.For the convenience of the parties hereto, this Voting Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all counterparts hereof so signed by the parties hereto, whether or not such counterpart will bear the execution of each of the parties hereto, will be deemed to be, and is to be construed as, one and the same Voting Agreement. A facsimile or electronic scan in “PDF” format of a signed counterpart of this Voting Agreement will be sufficient to bind the party or parties whose signature(s) appear thereon.

Section 11.This Voting Agreement, the Director Support Agreements, the Merger Agreement and the other agreements, documents, schedules and instruments signed and delivered by the parties to each other at the Closing are the full understanding of the parties, a complete allocation of risks between them and a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of their agreement relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, whether written or oral, that may exist between the parties with respect thereto. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Voting Agreement, no conditions, usage of trade, course of dealing or performance, understanding or agreement purporting to modify, vary, explain or supplement the terms or conditions of this Voting Agreement is binding unless hereafter made in writing and signed by the party to be bound, and no modification will be effected by the acknowledgment or acceptance of documents containing terms or conditions at variance with or in addition to those set forth in this Voting Agreement.

Section 12.If any provision of this Voting Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then (a) this Voting Agreement is to be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were not a part hereof; (b) the remaining provisions of this Voting Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Voting Agreement; and (c) there will be added automatically as a part of this Voting Agreement a provision mutually agreed to which is similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and still be legal, valid and enforceable.

Section 13.All notices and other communications hereunder by any party hereto to any other party shall be in writing and may be delivered personally, by nationally-recognized overnight courier service, by United States mail, or by email or facsimile , to such party at the address, facsimile number or email address set forth on the signature pages to this Voting Agreement (provided, that any failure to include a facsimile number or email address for any party shall render notice by that method to that party unavailable) and shall be deemed delivered (a) in the case of personal delivery, email or facsimile, when received; (b) in the case of mail, upon the earlier of actual receipt or three

A-4

(3) Business Days after deposit with the United States Postal Service, first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; and (c) in the case of nationally-recognized overnight courier service, one (1) Business Day after delivery to the courier service together with all appropriate fees or charges and instructions for overnight delivery. The parties may change their respective address, facsimile number or email address by written notice to all other parties, sent as provided in this Section 13.

Section 14.Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the other parties would be irreparably damaged and would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages if any of the covenants contained in this Voting Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms or otherwise were materially breached. Each of the parties hereto therefore agrees that, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting bond or other security, the other party will be entitled to (a) a temporary or permanent injunction or injunctions to prevent any breaches of such performance and (b) to specific enforcement of any such covenants, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. If attorneys’ fees or other costs are incurred to secure performance of any of the obligations herein provided for, or to establish damages for the breach thereof, or to obtain any other appropriate relief, the prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred therein and determined by the court to be justified.

Section 15.From time to time, at Guaranty’s request and without further consideration, each Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents reasonably requested by Guaranty as may be necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Voting Agreement.

Section 16.THIS VOTING AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EACH OF THE PARTIES SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. IF THERE IS A DISPUTE RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM THIS VOTING AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE FOR SUCH DISPUTE SHALL LIE EXCLUSIVELY IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN TITUS COUNTY, TEXAS.

Section 17.No party to this Voting Agreement will by any act (except by a written instrument given pursuant to Section 9) be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder by any party hereto will operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver of any party of any right or remedy on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such party would otherwise have on any future occasion or to any right or remedy that any other party may have hereunder. Any party may unilaterally waive a right which is solely applicable to it.

A-5

Section 18.All of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties and conditions of this Voting Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors, representatives and permitted assigns. No party to this Voting Agreement may assign this Voting Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any purported assignment made or attempted in violation of this Section 18 shall be null and void. Nothing contained in this Voting Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any persons, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Voting Agreement.

Section 19.Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Voting Agreement, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Voting Agreement refer to this Voting Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision in this Voting Agreement. Each use herein of the masculine, neuter or feminine gender are deemed to include the other genders. Each use herein of the plural include the singular and vice versa, in each case as the context requires or as is otherwise appropriate. The word “or” is used in the inclusive sense. Any agreement or instrument defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent. References to a person are also to its permitted successors or assigns. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Voting Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Voting Agreement.

DIRECTOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This DIRECTOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 29, 2018, by and between Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (“Guaranty”), a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and _________, an individual resident of the State of Texas (“Director”). Terms with their initial letters capitalized and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Guaranty, Guaranty Bank & Trust, a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Guaranty (“GBT”), and Westbound Bank, a Texas banking association (“Westbound”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which GBT will merge with and into Westbound, with GBT as the surviving corporation in the merger; and

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

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and in the Merger Agreement intending to be legally bound hereby, Guaranty and Director agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.Director Support. Director agrees to use his or her best efforts to refrain from harming the goodwill of Westbound, Guaranty or any Subsidiary of Guaranty, and their respective customer, client and vendor relationships.

2.Director Covenants.

(a) Director acknowledges that he or she has received substantial, valuable consideration, including confidential trade secrets and proprietary information relating to the identity and special needs of Westbound’s current and prospective customers, Westbound’s current and prospective services, Westbound’s business projections and market studies, Westbound’s business plans and strategies, Westbound’s studies and information concerning special services unique to Westbound. Director further acknowledges and agrees that this consideration constitutes fair and adequate consideration for the execution of the non-solicitation and non-competition restrictions set forth below. Accordingly, other than in any capacity for or on behalf of Guaranty or any subsidiary of Guaranty, Director agrees that Director will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as an employee, partner, officer, director or shareholder or in any other capacity whatsoever:

i. solicit the business of any person or entity who is a customer of Westbound as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date on behalf of

B-1

any other insured depository institution for the purpose of providing financial services to such person or entity;

ii. (A) acquire any interest in (directly or indirectly), charter, operate or enter into any franchise or other management agreement with any insured depository institution that has a location within a twenty-five (25) mile radius of any location of Westbound (the “Noncompete Area”) (but notwithstanding the foregoing, Director may (1) retain any existing ownership interest in any insured depository institution or its holding company as disclosed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, (2) acquire additional ownership interest in any insured depository institution or its holding company listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, (3) acquire an ownership interest in any publicly-traded depository institution or its holding company, so long as that ownership interest does not exceed 3% of the total number of shares outstanding of that depository institution, and (4) invest in an existing mutual fund that invests, directly or indirectly, in any such insured depository institutions or their holding companies),

(B) serve as an officer, director, employee, agent or consultant to any insured depository institution or holding company for an insured depository institution that has a location within the Noncompete Area, except for any such positions which Director already holds at the time of this Agreement and are set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto; or

iii. recruit, hire, assist others in recruiting or hiring, discuss employment with, or refer others concerning employment, any person who is, or within the twelve (12) months preceding the Closing Date was, an employee of Westbound; but nothing in this Section 2(a)(iii) applies to employment other than in financial services.

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

(b) If any court of competent jurisdiction should determine that the terms of this Section 2 or Section 4 are too broad in terms of time, geographic area, lines of commerce or otherwise, then such court is to modify and revise any such terms so that they comply with applicable law.

(c) Director agrees that (i) this Agreement is entered into in connection with the Guaranty’s acquisition of the goodwill of Westbound, (ii) Director is receiving valuable consideration for this Agreement, (iii) the restrictions imposed upon Director by this Agreement are essential and necessary to ensure Guaranty acquires the goodwill of

B-2

Westbound, and (iv) all the restrictions (including particularly the time and geographical limitations) set forth in this Agreement are fair and reasonable.

3.Early Resolution Conference. This Agreement is understood to be clear and enforceable as written and is executed by both parties on that basis. However, should Director later challenge any provision as unclear, unenforceable, or inapplicable to any competitive activity that Director intends to engage in, Director will first notify Guaranty in writing and meet with a Guaranty representative and a neutral mediator (if Guaranty elects to retain one at its expense) to discuss resolution of any disputes between the parties. Director will provide this notice at least twenty-one (21) days before Director engages in any activity on behalf of a competing business or engages in other activity that could foreseeably fall within a questioned restriction. If Director fails to comply with this requirement, Director waives his right to challenge the reasonable scope, clarity, applicability or enforceability of this Agreement and its restrictions at a later time.

4.Termination. This Agreement and all obligations hereunder will terminate on the earlier of (a) the date the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Merger Agreement or (b) the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date.

5.Tolling. In the event that Guaranty shall file a lawsuit in any court of competent jurisdiction alleging a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 2(a) of this Agreement by Director, then any time period set forth in this Agreement including the time periods set forth above, will be extended one (1) month for each month Director was in breach of this Agreement, so that Guaranty is provided the full benefit of such covenants.

6.Waiver; No Delay. Any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefits thereof. No delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any of its powers or rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.

7.Modification; Amendment. No amendment or modification hereof shall be effective unless contained in a written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

8.Multiple Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties hereto, this Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all counterparts hereof so signed by the parties hereto, whether or not such counterpart will bear the execution of each of the parties hereto, will be deemed to be, and is to be construed as, one and the same Agreement. 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.

9.Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EACH OF THE PARTIES SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. IF THERE

B-3

IS A DISPUTE RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE FOR SUCH DISPUTE SHALL LIE EXCLUSIVELY IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN TITUS COUNTY, TEXAS.

10.Binding Effect; Assignment. All of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors, representatives and permitted assigns. Nothing expressed or referred to herein is intended or is to be construed to give any person other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, it being the intent of the parties that this Agreement, and the terms hereof are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and not for the benefit of any other person. No party to this Agreement will assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party, and any assignment made or attempted in violation of this Section 10 is void and of no effect.

11.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then (a) this Agreement is to be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were not a part hereof; (b) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement; and (c) there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision mutually agreed to which is similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and still be legal, valid and enforceable.

12.Specific Performance. If Director violates any of the provisions set forth in this Support Agreement, Guaranty and Director acknowledge that Guaranty and GBT would suffer immediate and irreparable harm and would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages if any of the covenants contained herein were not performed in accordance with their terms or otherwise were materially breached. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees that, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting bond or other security, Guaranty and GBT shall be entitled to (a) a temporary or permanent injunction or injunctions to prevent any breaches of such performance and (b) to specific enforcement of any such covenants, in addition to any other remedy to which Guaranty and GBT may be entitled, at law or in equity. In such a situation, each of the parties hereto agrees that Guaranty and GBT may pursue any remedy available, including declaratory relief, concurrently or consecutively in any order as to any breach, violation, or threatened breach or violation of this Agreement, and the pursuit of any particular remedy or remedies shall not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other remedy.

13.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other agreements, documents, schedules and instruments signed and delivered by the parties to each other at the Closing are the full understanding of the parties, a complete allocation of risks between them and a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of their agreement relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, whether written or oral, that may exist between the parties with respect thereto. Except as otherwise specifically

B-4

provided in this Agreement, no conditions, usage of trade, course of dealing or performance, understanding or agreement purporting to modify, vary, explain or supplement the terms or conditions of this Agreement is binding unless hereafter made in writing and signed by the party to be bound, and no modification will be effected by the acknowledgment or acceptance of documents containing terms or conditions in conflict with or in addition to those set forth in this Agreement.

14.Rules of Construction. The descriptive headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision in this Agreement.

EXHIBIT D

ESCROW AGREEMENT

This ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [●], 2018, is made and entered into by and among Guaranty Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company (“Guaranty”), Westbound Bank, a Texas banking association (“Westbound”), Guaranty Bank & Trust, N.A., a national banking association (“GBT” or, with respect to its capacity as escrow agent, the “Escrow Agent”), and Bruce Reichstein, as representative (the “Representative”) of the shareholders of Westbound named on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Shareholders”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Guaranty, GBT and Westbound have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 29, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things, the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Westbound by Guaranty through the merger of Westbound with and into GBT (the “Merger”), with GBT as the surviving corporation and the separate corporate existence of Westbound ceasing as a result of the Merger, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, Section 2.03 of the Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that a portion of the Shareholder Cash Consideration shall be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with the Escrow Agent and shall be held and distributed in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the parties believe it is in their respective best interests to enter into this Agreement in connection with the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, for purposes of this Agreement, and after the Effective Time, the interest of the Shareholders shall be represented by the Representative or any successor appointed in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, including the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and in the Merger Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto undertake, promise, covenant and agree with each other as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.Establishment of Escrow.

(a) Appointment of Escrow Agent. Guaranty and the Representative hereby appoint GBT as the escrow agent for the Escrow Consideration pursuant to this Agreement for the purposes set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Acceptance of Appointment. GBT hereby accepts appointment as the escrow agent and agrees to accept the Escrow Consideration, and to distribute and release the Escrow

D-1

Consideration, in whole or in part, only in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

2.Funds Deposited into Escrow. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Guaranty will deposit or cause to be deposited cash in an amount equal to the Escrow Consideration into the Escrow Account with the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date. The Escrow Consideration will remain in the Escrow Account, subject only to disbursement pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.

3.Term and Termination of Escrow. The Escrow Account will remain in existence from the Closing Date until all funds have been paid out of the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 4(d) of this Agreement (the “Escrow Period”), unless before the end of the Escrow Period, (i) the Escrow Consideration is disbursed in its entirety pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, or (ii) a dispute arises as to any disbursement from the Escrow Account, in which instance the Escrow Account will remain in existence until the dispute is finally resolved. After all funds have been paid out of the Escrow Account, this Agreement will terminate, whereupon all of the Escrow Agent’s liabilities and obligations in connection with the Escrow Consideration will terminate.

4.Indemnification and Disbursements.

(a) Indemnification of Guaranty and GBT.

(i) Guaranty and GBT (each, an “Indemnified Party”, and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) shall receive indemnification from the Escrow Consideration for and against any Losses (as defined below) that are incurred, sustained or suffered by any Indemnified Party in connection with or related to the loans specifically listed on Schedule 2 to this Agreement (the “Subject Loans”); provided, however, any Losses with respect to a Subject Loan shall first be applied to the ALLL Credit set forth on Schedule 2 for such Subject Loan, and the Indemnified Parties shall only have a right to indemnification for the amount that such Losses exceed such ALLL Credit. For purposes of this Agreement, “Losses” will be calculated in accordance with GAAP and mean the recognition by an Indemnified Party after the Effective Time of the following (A) any loss that occurs during the Escrow Period on the foreclosure, sale or other disposition of a Subject Loan or of collateral securing a Subject Loan, (B) any loss that occurs during the Escrow Period when a Subject Loan is charged off or charged down at the direction or request of any regulatory examiner or at the direction or request of Guaranty’s independent certified public accounting firm or request of the management of an Indemnified Party based on GAAP, (C) any loss incurred by an Indemnified Party on any of the Subject Loans as a result of fraudulent activities that occurred on or before the Closing Date or material documentation flaws made by Westbound on or before the Closing Date; (D) any and all third party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs related to employing agents or independent contractors, including, without limitation, accountants, consultants or other professionals) incurred by an Indemnified Party (other than GBT in its capacity as the Escrow Agent hereunder) related to or arising out of the matters set forth in clauses (A) through (C) or otherwise related to any third party costs of collection incurred by an Indemnified Party with respect to any Subject Loan.

D-2

(ii) The amount of any Recoveries related to a Subject Loan received or realized by an Indemnified Party during the Escrow Period shall offset an equal amount of the Losses pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Recoveries” shall mean any amounts received or realized by any Indemnified Party that would be reportable as recoveries on Schedule RI-B of the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a Bank with Domestic Offices Only that relate to Losses claimed by an Indemnified Party, including any interest received with respect to the Subject Loans.

(iii) Except as set forth below, for each Subject Loan, the amount of aggregate Losses to which the Indemnified Parties may be indemnified through disbursements from the Escrow Account under the terms of this Section 4 shall be limited to the amount of the specific reserve for such Subject Loan listed on Schedule 2 to this Agreement (“Specific Reserve”). The Shareholders will have no liability for, and the Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement with respect to, any amount of Losses in excess of the aggregate amount of the Escrow Consideration (i.e., the aggregate amount of the Specific Reserves).

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate Specific Reserves (the “General Reserve”) will serve as a general reserve for any additional Losses on any Subject Loan in excess of the Specific Reserve for such Subject Loan (“Excess Losses”), such that Escrow Consideration may be disbursed from the General Reserve of the Escrow Account to Guaranty for the purpose of indemnifying an Indemnified Party for any Excess Losses on any Subject Loan until the General Reserve has been fully disbursed to Guaranty, if applicable. For purposes of clarification and avoidance of doubt, the amount of the General Reserve will be reduced by the amount of any disbursements of Escrow Consideration to Guaranty with respect to Excess Losses that occur during the Escrow Period, such that any Excess Losses that occur after the General Reserve has been fully disbursed to Guaranty would not be subject to indemnification and disbursement to Guaranty under this Section 4 of this Agreement.

(b) First Anniversary Disbursements.

(i) In the event any Losses are incurred, sustained or suffered by an Indemnified Party in connection with or related to the Subject Loans prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Guaranty shall send a written notice to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative) within fifteen (15) following the first anniversary of the Closing Date (“First Distribution Notice”), specifying in reasonable detail (A) the nature and amount of any Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by an Indemnified Party in such period, (B) any Recoveries received by an Indemnified Party with respect to any such Losses, (C) the amount of Escrow Consideration to be disbursed to Guaranty, if any, to indemnify it for such Losses (net of any applicable ALLL Credits and Recoveries as described above) in accordance with Section 4(a) (collectively, the “First Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses”), (D) any Subject Loan that was Resolved during such period (each, a “Resolved Loan”), and (E) the Specific Reserve balance for each Resolved Loan. For purposes of this Agreement, “Resolved” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 5.18(b) of the Merger Agreement, substituting “GBT” for “Westbound.”

D-3

(ii) The First Distribution Notice shall include documentation reasonably related to the First Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses, including sales documentation or documentation directing or requesting the charge off or charge down of any Subject Loan, and documentation evidencing the resolution of each Resolved Loan.

(iii) Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the First Distribution Notice, the Escrow Agent shall disburse (A) to Guaranty, the First Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses, and (B) to the Shareholders, an aggregate amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Specific Reserve balance of each Resolved Loan.

(i) In the event any Losses are incurred, sustained or suffered by an Indemnified Party in connection with or related to the Subject Loans between the first anniversary and the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Guaranty shall send a written notice to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative) within fifteen (15) days following the second anniversary of the Closing Date (“Second Distribution Notice”), specifying in reasonable detail (A) the nature and amount of any Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by any Indemnified Party in such period, (B) any Recoveries received by an Indemnified Party with respect to any such Losses, (C) any Recoveries received by any Indemnified Party with respect to any First Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses previously disbursed to Guaranty pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Agreement, (D) the amount of Escrow Consideration to be disbursed to Guaranty, if any, to indemnify it for Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by any Indemnified Party in such period (net of any applicable ALLL Credits and Recoveries received during such period) in accordance with Section 4(a) (collectively, the “Second Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses”), (E) any Subject Loan that was Resolved during such period, and (F) the Specific Reserve balance for each Resolved Loan.

(ii) The Second Distribution Notice shall include documentation reasonably related to Second Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses, including sales documentation or documentation directing or requesting the charge off or charge down of any Subject Loan, and documentation evidencing the resolution of each Resolved Loan.

(iii) Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Second Distribution Notice, the Escrow Agent shall disburse (A) to Guaranty, the Second Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses, and (B) to the Shareholders, an aggregate amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Specific Reserve balance of each Resolved Loan.

(d) Third Anniversary Disbursements.

(i) In the event any Losses are incurred, sustained or suffered by an Indemnified Party in connection with or related to the Subject Loans between the second anniversary and the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Guaranty shall send a written notice to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative) within fifteen (15) days following the third anniversary of the Closing Date (“Third Distribution Notice”), specifying in reasonable detail (A) the nature and amount of any Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by any Indemnified Party in such period, (B) any Recoveries received by an Indemnified Party with respect to any such Losses, (C) any

D-4

Recoveries received by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Second Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses previously disbursed to Guaranty pursuant to Section 4(c) of this Agreement, and (D) the amount of Escrow Consideration to be disbursed to Guaranty, if any, to indemnify it for Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by an Indemnified Party in such period (net of any applicable ALLL Credits and Recoveries received during such period) in accordance with Section 4(a) (collectively, the “Third Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses”).

(ii) The Third Distribution Notice shall include documentation reasonably related to Third Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses, including sales documentation or documentation directing or requesting the charge off or charge down of any Subject Loan.

(iii) Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Third Distribution Notice, the Escrow Agent shall disburse (A) to Guaranty, the Third Anniversary Indemnifiable Losses and (B) except as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, to the Shareholders, any remaining funds in the Escrow Account. For avoidance of doubt, no Escrow Consideration will be distributed from the Escrow Account to the Shareholders under this Section 4(d)(iii) until the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 4(a) of this Agreement have been satisfied.

5.Conditions on Distributions to Shareholders. Subject to Section 4 of this Agreement, the Escrow Consideration will be distributed to the Shareholders as follows:

(a) Each Shareholder will receive his pro rata share (rounded to the nearest $0.01) of any amount distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Shareholders pursuant to Sections 4(b), 4(c) or 4(d) of this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Escrow Consideration will be determined by reference to Schedule 1. If the Escrow Agent has any questions regarding the party to whom a disbursement is to be made, the Escrow Agent will promptly refer that question to the Representative for resolution by the Representative, and the Escrow Agent may rely on the instructions and decisions of the Representative. The Escrow Agent has no duty to determine or confirm the accuracy of any calculations or other information provided to the Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

(b) The Escrow Agent will not be obligated to make distributions to any Shareholder until all information and documentation reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent from the Shareholder has been provided to the Escrow Agent and no interest or other penalties will accrue or be assessed during such period.

(c) Each Shareholder will be responsible for complying with Federal income tax laws as they relate to him or her with respect to any distributions of Escrow Consideration to such Shareholder under this Agreement.

6.Responsibilities of Guaranty and GBT.

(a) Affirmative Covenants. Guaranty shall use, and shall cause GBT to use, best efforts to maximize collections on the Subject Loans, in accordance with normal and prudent banking practices and procedures. Guaranty will diligently pursue in good faith collection efforts with respect to the Subject Loans during the Escrow Period in a manner consistent with collection efforts

D-5

made on other loans owned by GBT. Guaranty may employ agents or independent contractors, including, without limitation, any attorney, expert accountant, consultant or other professional, to perform or assist in performing, or may otherwise subcontract, its duties and responsibilities hereunder. Guaranty shall be indemnified for the documented fees and charges of such agents and independent contractors, including reasonable and necessary attorney fees and court costs, as provided under Section 4(a)(i) of this Agreement. Guaranty will seek to collect all amounts due with respect to the Subject Loans during the Escrow Period and will take such other actions (including, without limitation, sales or leases, including a bulk sale, of Subject Loans and enforcement of liabilities of borrowers) as are necessary, as reasonably determined by Guaranty, in order to attempt to maximize collections on the Subject Loans. In performing its functions hereunder and deciding what actions to take hereunder, Guaranty may consider the costs of collection (including, without limitation, administrative and legal expenses), potential liabilities, likelihood of Recoveries, and other relevant litigation risk factors. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, all decisions of Guaranty with respect to the servicing of the Subject Loans will be binding on the Shareholders. Prior to making a Loss determination, Guaranty will consult with the Representative, including permitting the Representative to recommend for Guaranty’s consideration reasons why such proposed Loss determination is not appropriate, which recommendation will be considered in good faith by Guaranty. While Guaranty agrees to consult with the Representative, the final decision whether to record a Loss rests with Guaranty.

(b) Negative Covenants. Guaranty and GBT may not lend additional money to any obligor or borrower on the Subject Loans without first obtaining the written consent of the Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Guaranty agrees that in administering or collecting on any other indebtedness or obligation of borrower on the Subject Loans that exists on or before the Effective Time, either for its own account or on behalf of any other person, it will not discriminate against the Subject Loans.

(c) Books and Records. After the Effective Time, Guaranty will maintain or cause to be maintained such books and records with respect to the Subject Loans as a reasonably prudent lender would maintain under similar circumstances, which books and records will be made available to the Representative at the main office of Guaranty (or such other location as Guaranty and the Representative may from time to time agree upon in writing) during business hours for the purposes of inspection, examination and audit. The Representative may, upon reasonable prior written notice to Guaranty, review and copy the records maintained or caused to be maintained by Guaranty with respect to the Subject Loans and Guaranty will make available to the Representative for the purpose of cooperating with the Representative in its review and examination of such materials. The Representative may, at its own expense, engage such outside individuals, including accountants, as it deems necessary or advisable to review or audit the performance of Guaranty hereunder; but the Representative will not materially interfere in the daily management by or operations of Guaranty or GBT.

7.The Responsibilities of the Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow.

(a) The Responsibility of the Escrow Agent.

D-6

(i) The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility will be for the receipt and holding of the Escrow Consideration in the Escrow Account, and the disbursement thereof in accordance with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent will have no other responsibility or obligation of any kind, and will not be required to take any other action with reference to any matters that might arise, in connection with the Escrow Consideration or this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may, in accordance with this Agreement, act upon (and will be fully protected in acting upon) any written instruction or other instrument that the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine and what it purports to be. The Escrow Agent will not be liable to any person for anything that the Escrow Agent, solely in its capacity as Escrow Agent, may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement, unless such action or inaction results from the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, the preceding clause does not relieve GBT from liability for its actions or inactions in any capacity other than as Escrow Agent.

(ii) The duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent hereunder will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and no other or further duties or responsibilities will be implied, including, but not limited to, any obligation under or imposed by any laws of the State of Texas upon fiduciaries.

(b) Possible Disagreements. If any disagreement should arise among any one or more of the parties hereto or any other party with respect to the Escrow Consideration or this Agreement (and the Escrow Agent is notified in writing of such disagreement), or if the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action should be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent has the absolute right (but not the obligation), at its election, to do either or both of the following:

(i) withhold or stop all further performance under this Agreement (except the holding of the Escrow Consideration in accordance with the terms hereof) and all notices or instructions received in connection herewith until the Escrow Agent is satisfied that such disagreement or such doubt has been resolved; or

(ii) file a suit in interpleader and obtain an order from a court of appropriate jurisdiction in Titus County, Texas requiring all persons involved to litigate in such court their respective claims arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Consideration (the right of the Escrow Agent to institute such bill of interpleader, however, will not be deemed to modify the manner in which the Escrow Agent is entitled to make disbursements of the Escrow Consideration as set forth in this Agreement, other than to tender the Escrow Consideration into the registry of the court).

(c) Reimbursement of Expenses. The Escrow Agent will not charge any escrow fee for its services hereunder. However, the Escrow Agent is authorized to pay its costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the preparation, operation, administration and enforcement of this Agreement out of the Escrow Consideration. If the Escrow Agent pays for any of its costs or expenses from the Escrow Consideration, the Escrow Agent shall provide the Representative and Guaranty a notice and an accounting of such withdrawal of funds from the Escrow Account.

D-7

(d) Consultation with Legal Counsel. The Escrow Agent may consult with its counsel or other counsel satisfactory to it, including counsel to Guaranty or the Representative, with respect to any question relating to its duties or responsibilities hereunder or otherwise in connection herewith and will not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by the Escrow Agent in good faith upon the advice of such counsel. The Escrow Agent may act through its officers, employees, authorized representatives, or attorneys.

8.Deposit of Escrow Consideration and Taxes.

(a) The Escrow Agent will deposit the Escrow Consideration in an noninterest-bearing deposit account at GBT. The Escrow Consideration need not be collateralized with securities.

(b) Guaranty, GBT and the Representative acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is being established solely for administrative convenience and that the Escrow Consideration is and shall remain the legal and equitable property of Guaranty and that all right, title, and interest in and to the Escrow Consideration belongs exclusively to Guaranty unless and until such assets are disbursed to the Shareholders in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Guaranty and GBT shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Consideration for federal and state income tax purposes during the period such funds are held in the Escrow Account and shall include on its income tax return all taxable income, if any, generated on the Escrow Consideration during the Escrow Period.

9.Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder by any party hereto to any other party shall be in writing and may be delivered personally, by nationally-recognized overnight courier service, by United States mail, or by email or facsimile, to such party at the address, facsimile number or email address set forth below (provided, that any failure to include a facsimile number or email address for any party shall render notice by that method to that party unavailable) and shall be deemed delivered (i) in the case of personal delivery, email or facsimile, when received; (ii) in the case of mail, upon the earlier of actual receipt or three (3) Business Days after deposit with the United States Postal Service, first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; and (iii) in the case of nationally-recognized overnight courier service, one (1) Business Day after delivery to the courier service together with all appropriate fees or charges and instructions for overnight delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to the Escrow Agent will be effective until received by the Escrow Agent. The parties may change their respective address, facsimile number or email address by written notice to all other parties, sent as provided in this Section 9(a).

A facsimile or electronic scan in a “.pdf” format transmission of a signed counterpart of this Agreement shall be sufficient to bind the party or parties whose signature(s) appear thereon.

(e) Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EACH OF THE PARTIES SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. IF THERE IS A DISPUTE RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE FOR SUCH DISPUTE SHALL LIE EXCLUSIVELY IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN TITUS COUNTY, TEXAS. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE WHICH MAY ARISE FROM THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

(f) Limitation on Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ESCROW AGENT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER OR BY REASON OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION TO ACT BY THE ESCROW AGENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY OCCUR BY REASON OF FORGERY, FALSE REPRESENTATIONS, OR THE EXERCISE BY THE ESCROW AGENT OF ITS DISCRETION, OTHER THAN

D-10

DAMAGES WHICH RESULT DIRECTLY FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ESCROW AGENT BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

(g) Mediation. If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement or the breach thereof, and if the dispute cannot be settled through negotiation, the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures before resorting to litigation or some other dispute resolution procedure. Mediation will be conducted in Titus County, Texas. The costs of the mediation will be borne equally by the parties hereto.

(h) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then (a) this Agreement is to be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were not a part hereof; (b) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement; and (c) there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision mutually agreed to which is similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and still be legal, valid and enforceable.

(i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other agreements, documents, schedules and instruments signed and delivered by the parties to each other at the Closing are the full understanding of the parties, a complete allocation of risks between them and a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of their agreement relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, whether written or oral, that may exist between the parties with respect thereto. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no conditions, usage of trade, course of dealing or performance, understanding or agreement purporting to modify, vary, explain or supplement the terms or conditions of this Agreement is binding unless hereafter made in writing and signed by the party to be bound, and no modification shall be effected by the acknowledgment or acceptance of documents containing terms or conditions at variance with or in addition to those set forth in this Agreement.

(j) Rules of Construction. The descriptive headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision in this Agreement.

D-11

instrument defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent. References to a person are also to its permitted successors or assigns.

(l) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto; but no amendment will be made to change the relative beneficial interest of any Shareholder in the Escrow Consideration without the consent of that Shareholder.

(m) Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. If any action at law or in equity, including an action for declaratory relief, is brought to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees from the other party (unless such other party is the Escrow Agent), which fees may be set by the court in the trial of such action or may be enforced in a separate action brought for that purpose, and which fees shall be in addition to any other relief that may be awarded.

10.Representative. In the event of the resignation, death or incapacity of the Representative, a successor Representative will be selected by the three (3) Shareholders owning the largest beneficial interest in the Escrow Consideration as of the Closing Date. All parties hereto will be entitled to rely on all actions and communications of the Representative as being genuine and binding on all of the Shareholders. The Representative will not be liable to any person for anything that the Representative may do or refrain from doing in accordance with this Agreement, unless such action or inaction results from the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 29, 2018, by and among Guaranty Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company under the BHC Act (“Guaranty”), Guaranty Bank & Trust, N.A., a national banking association, and Westbound, it is a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that the Director has executed and delivered to Guaranty an instrument releasing Westbound from any and all claims of such Director;

WHEREAS, the purpose of this Release is to serve as the instrument referred to in Section 8.12(e) of the Merger Agreement as discussed above; and

WHEREAS, the Director desires to enter into this Release in consideration of the matters set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of $1.00 and other good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, that this Release is a condition to the Merger Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby expressly acknowledged, the Director agrees as follows:

1.Release.

(a)

Attached as Schedule 1 hereto is a list of all loans outstanding from Westbound to the Director. The Director acknowledges that there are no existing claims or defenses, personal or otherwise, or rights of set off whatsoever against Westbound, except as set forth below. The Director for himself or herself and on behalf of his or her heirs and assigns (each, a “Releasing Party” and collectively, the “Releasing Parties”) hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Westbound and its predecessors, successors, assigns, Subsidiaries, and each of their respective past or present officers, directors, employees, agents and servants, and all persons, natural or corporate, in privity with them or any of them (each a “Released Party” and collectively, the “Released Parties”) (but only as to their actions or omissions in their capacity as officers, directors, employees, agents or servants of the Released Parties) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from any and any and all claims, obligations, costs, losses, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), causes of action, rights, demands, debts, liens, liabilities or

E-1

damages of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, pending or threatened, fixed, contingent or conditional, suspected or unsuspected, and whether arising out of contract, tort, violation of law, statute, regulation or otherwise (including, without limitation, any covenant of good faith and fair dealing, express or implied), by reason of any matter, cause, thing, act, occurrence, omission or any other factor, situation or event whatsoever now existing or that may hereafter arise in respect of any and all agreements and obligations incurred on or prior to the date hereof, or in respect of any event occurring or circumstances existing on or prior to the date hereof (all of the foregoing collectively, “Claims”); but neither of the Released Parties are released from any obligations or liabilities to the Director (i) pursuant to the certificate of formation or articles of association, as applicable, or bylaws or similar governing documents of the Released Parties regarding the indemnification of officers or directors; and (ii) in connection with any deposits (as defined in 12 USC §1813(1)) of the Director or other written contractual obligations of the Released Parties to the Director existing on the date of this Release and as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto (items (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to herein as the “Specified Claims”).

(b)

Each of the Releasing Parties further covenants and agrees that he or she will not directly or indirectly bring or cause to be brought, or participate in the prosecution of or otherwise assert or solicit, any Proceeding (defined below) (i) with respect to any Claim against a Released Party, or (ii) that is based, in whole or in part, on the grounds that any or all the terms of this Release were entered into pursuant to a fraudulent inducement or are for any reason illegal, invalid, not binding, unenforceable or against public policy. For the purposes of this Release, a “Proceeding” means any action, suit, litigation, arbitration, proceeding (including any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate proceeding), prosecution, contest, hearing, inquiry, inquest, audit, examination or investigation that is, has been or may in the future be commenced, brought, conducted or heard at law or in equity or before any Governmental Authority or any arbitrator or arbitration panel.


(c)	Each of the Releasing Parties represents that it has not commenced any Proceeding against any of the Released Parties with respect to a Claim and is the sole owner of all right, title and interests to the Claims and has not transferred or agreed to transfer any interest in any Claim.

(d)

E-2

at law or in equity, whether arising out of contract, tort, violation of law, statute, regulation, or otherwise incurred or suffered by any Released Party arising out of or in connection with any breach of this Release by a Releasing Party.


(e)	It is the intention of all parties that the foregoing be construed broadly as a total and unconditional release and covenant by each of the Releasing Parties to never to assert any Claim against any Released Party, except as otherwise provided herein.

2.It is expressly understood and agreed that the terms hereof are contractual and not merely recitals, and that the agreements herein contained and the consideration herein transferred is to compromise doubtful and disputed claims, and that no releases made or other consideration given hereby or in connection herewith are to be construed as an admission of liability, all liability being expressly denied by each of the Released Parties. The Director hereby represents and warrants that the consideration hereby acknowledged for entering into this Release and the transactions contemplated hereby is greater than the value of all claims, demands, actions and causes of action herein relinquished, released, renounced, abandoned, acquitted, waived or discharged, and that this Release is in full settlement, satisfaction and discharge of any and all such claims, demands, actions, and causes of action that the Director may have or be entitled to against any of the Released Parties, and their respective predecessors, assigns, legal representatives, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents other than the Specified Claims.

3.The Director hereby represents and warrants that he or she has full power, capacity and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Release, all proceedings required to be taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Release and the agreements and undertakings relating hereto and the transactions contemplated hereby have been validly and properly taken and this Release constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Director in the capacity in which executed. The Director further represents and warrants that he or she has entered into this Release freely of his or her own accord and without reliance on any representations of any kind of character not set forth herein. The Director hereby acknowledges and agrees that Hunton & Williams LLP, which serves as legal counsel for Westbound, has not been engaged to represent the Director individually in any matter, including with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and the Director further agrees that Hunton & Williams LLP and its attorneys have no obligation to advise the Director in connection with this Release, any other agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or legal developments arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Director enters into this Release after having the opportunity to consult with his or her own legal counsel.

E-3

CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS RELEASE IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS RELEASE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS RELEASE. EACH PARTY TO THIS RELEASE CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS RELEASE BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.

5.If any provision of this Release is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then (a) this Release is to be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were not a part hereof; (b) the remaining provisions of this Release will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Release; and (c) there will be added automatically as a part of this Release a provision mutually agreed to which is as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and still be legal, valid and enforceable.

6.Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Release, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Release refer to this Release as a whole and not to any particular provision in this Release. Each use herein of the masculine, neuter or feminine gender are deemed to include the other genders. Each use herein of the plural include the singular and vice versa, in each case as the context requires or as is otherwise appropriate. The word “or” is used in the inclusive sense. Any agreement or instrument defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent. References to a person are also to its permitted successors or assigns.

7.The rights, obligations and duties of each of the Releasing Parties hereunder shall be personal and not assignable, transferable or delegable by any Releasing Party in any manner whatsoever. Without limiting the foregoing, this Release will be binding upon the Releasing Parties and will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns of the Released Parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Release will be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Release and the Released Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Release or any provision of this Release. This Release and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Release and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and permitted assigns, and the Released Parties.

E-4

8.This Release, together with the Merger Agreement and the agreements executed in connection with the transactions described in the Merger Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. The recitals to this Release are hereby incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Release for all purposes. This Release may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by each of the Director and Westbound (or its successors or assigns) and any provision hereof may not be waived, except by written agreement making specific reference to this Release signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

9.The Releasing Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any Releasing Party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all required actions on its part necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the Released Parties for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each of the Releasing Parties hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such Releasing Party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder without the necessity of posting bonds or other security. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Release, no right or remedy described or provided in this Release is intended to be exclusive or to preclude a party from pursuing other rights and remedies to the extent available under this Release, at law or in equity.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

THIS CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [●], 2018 between Guaranty Bank & Trust, N.A. (“GBT”), and _____________ (“Employee”). For and in consideration of the foregoing and the premises, representations, and mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties hereto now acknowledge, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Employment. GBT agrees to employ Employee upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Employee agrees to accept employment upon these terms and conditions. However, Employee’s employment is contingent on his or her full and honest disclosure of his or her personal and work history, including qualifications, skills, history, education, training and background and passing a drug and background screen.


2.	Confidentiality. Employee agrees that all information obtained by Employee during his or her employment with GBT relating to the business of GBT and its customers is strictly confidential and proprietary in nature. For the period of his or her employment and at all times afterwards, Employee agrees not to use or disclose to anyone other than an authorized GBT representative:


•	any information as to strategy, business plans, methods or policies, systems, documentation, research or development projects, acquisitions, or trade secrets;


•	any names and addresses of customers, customer lists, or any other data relating to past, present or prospective customers; or


•	any other information relating to the business operations of GBT or its customers.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Employee from using or disclosing any information that (i) at the time of disclosure is generally available to and known to the public, other than by a breach of this Agreement by the Employee or (ii) was available to the Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Westbound Bank or GBT, provided that such source is not known to the Employee to have been bound by an obligation or duty of confidentiality to Westbound Bank or GBT.

Solicitation. Employee agrees that he or she will not, while employed by GBT, engage in any business which competes with GBT. Additionally, because of his or her access to confidential information as well as specialized training, Employee agrees that upon termination, for whatever reason, Employee will not directly solicit business from any existing GBT customers that the Employee had contact with while employed by GBT (or Westbound Bank) or about whom the Employee had access

F-1

to confidential information for one (1) year after leaving GBT. For that same period and within that same geographic scope, Employee agrees that he or she will not (a) interfere with or attempt to interfere with GBT’s relationship with any of such customers or (b) solicit, directly or indirectly, any GBT employees for employment or encourage any such employees to otherwise terminate employment with GBT for any reason. Employee agrees these provisions are reasonable and necessary to protect GBT’s legitimate business interests.


4.	Consideration. In consideration of the covenants and agreements of the Employee contained in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, GBT hereby agrees to provide Employee a lump sum cash payment of $[●], subject to applicable taxes and withholding within three (3) business days following the date hereof.

Entire Agreement; Nonreliance. Employee acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between GBT and Employee and supersedes any prior negotiations or understandings between GBT and Employee relating to his or her employment. Employee has read and understands the terms of this Agreement and is not relying on any other terms or representations except those contained in this Agreement or as otherwise specified in this paragraph. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither legal counsel for Westbound Bank nor legal counsel for GBT has been engaged to represent Employee individually in any matter, including with respect to this Agreement, and Employee further agrees that legal counsel for Westbound Bank and GBT shall have no obligation to advise Employee in connection with this Agreement. Employee enters into this Agreement after having the opportunity to consult with his or her own legal counsel.


6.	At Will Relationship. Employee agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement constitutes a contract of employment with GBT, and Employee acknowledges that his or her employment is “at will” and may be terminated at any time for any legal reason by Employee or by GBT without notice.


7.	Competitive Information. GBT has not requested and does not want any confidential information belonging to a prior employer. Employee must not use such information (except such information previously belonging to Westbound Bank which was merged with and into GBT) in the performance of his or her duties for GBT nor should Employee share any such information with any other employees of GBT.
