the laws of the state of Kansas and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Clayco (the “ Bank ”), Jeffrey J. Kieffer as

RECITALS
The
parties’ Boards of Directors desire to merge Clayco with and
into Buyer, resulting in the conversion of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Clayco (the “

capital stock of Buyer on the terms and subject to the conditions

federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the merger of
Clayco with and into Buyer shall qualify as a reorganization under
Section 368 of the IRC and that this Agreement shall constitute the
plan of reorganization, but Buyer makes no representation or

Company or its shareholders.

the DGCL, the GBCLM, and the Plan of Merger attached as Exhibit 2.1
(the “ Plan of Merger ”). Buyer shall be the

to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The
Organizational Documents of Buyer as in effect immediately prior to

and by applicable law. At the Effective Time, the Shares
shall be converted into the right to receive cash and shares of
capital stock of Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.

Clayco with and into Buyer shall qualify as a reorganization under
Section 368 of the IRC and that this Agreement shall constitute the
plan of reorganization, but Buyer makes no representation or
warranty regarding tax treatment of the merger to any Acquired
Company or to the Clayco shareholders, and Clayco shall instruct
its shareholders to seek appropriate income tax advice.

relieve any party of any obligation under this
Agreement.
At
the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided
in this Agreement, the Plan of Merger, and the applicable
provisions of the DGCL and the GBCLM. At any time after the
Effective Time, if Buyer shall consider that any further act is

or otherwise, in Buyer right, title, or interest in, to, or under
any of the property, rights, privileges, powers, and franchises of
Clayco or (ii) otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement,

shares included in the Stock Amount will not be registered with the
SEC under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws, in
reliance on the exemptions specified in such laws, and have not

holder of any Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive
such fractional share (after taking into account all Shares
delivered by such holder) shall be entitled to receive a cash
payment, without interest and rounded-up to the nearest whole cent,
in an amount determined by multiplying the Closing Price by the
fraction of a share of Buyer Common Stock to which the holder would
otherwise have been entitled. As promptly as practicable after the
determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders
of fractional share interests, the bank or trust company designated
by Buyer as the exchange agent (the “ Exchange Agent
”) shall so notify Buyer, and Buyer shall deposit that amount
with the Exchange Agent and shall cause the Exchange Agent to
forward payments to the holders of fractional share interests,
subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section
2.5.

anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares which are issued

dissenter’s rights available under Section 351.455 of the
GBCLM (the “ Dissenting Shares ”) shall not be
converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the
Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.5, unless and until
such holders shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively
withdrawn or lost their dissenter’s rights under the GBCLM.
Dissenting Shares shall be treated in accordance with Section
351.455 of the GBCLM, if and to the extent applicable. If any
such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively
withdrawn or lost such dissenter’s rights, such
holder’s Shares shall thereupon be converted into and become
exchangeable only for the right to receive, as of the Effective
Time, the Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.5.
Clayco shall give Buyer (i) prompt notice of each and every notice
of a Clayco shareholder’s intent to demand payment for the
shareholder’s Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands,
and any other instruments served pursuant to the GBCLM and received
by Clayco relating to rights to be paid the “fair
value” of Dissenting Shares, as provided in Section 351.455
of the GBCLM, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations
and Proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the
GBCLM. Except with the prior written consent of Buyer, Clayco shall

value” under Section 351.455 of the GBCLM.

withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of the Shares in
respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer
or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.
At
the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Clayco shall be
closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of
Shares thereafter on the records of Clayco. From and after
the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any
rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided
herein or by Legal Requirements. On or after the Effective
Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Buyer for
any reason shall be converted into the Consideration in accordance
with Section 2.5, subject to applicable Legal Requirements in the
case of Dissenting Shares.
The
shares of Buyer Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be unaffected by the Merger, and
at the Effective Time, such shares shall remain issued and
outstanding.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR
DILUTION AND OTHER MATTERS
|
If,
after November, 22, 2006 and prior to the Effective Time, Buyer or
Clayco changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the
number of shares of Buyer Common Stock or the number of Shares
issued and outstanding as of November 22, 2006, as a result of a
stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification,
combination, or similar transaction with respect to such shares or
Shares, and the record date for such transaction is after such
date, and prior to the Effective Time, then the Consideration shall
be appropriately and proportionately adjusted such that the
aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer to holders of Shares
pursuant to Section 2.5 would be the same as if the Effective Time
had been the close of business on November 22, 2006.
From
June 30, 2006 to the day prior to the Closing Date, Clayco may
distribute to its shareholders by dividend or otherwise an amount
of cash less than or equal to $1,300,000.

|
ORGANIZATION AND GOOD
STANDING
|
(a) Part
3.1 of the Disclosure Letter contains a complete and accurate list
for each Acquired Company of its name, its jurisdiction of
incorporation, other jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do
business, and its capitalization (including the identity of each

(b) Clayco

laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the
ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it, or the
nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such
qualification.

Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of
Clayco, the Bank, and Seller Representative, enforceable against
them in accordance with its terms. Upon the execution and

the Seller Representative, and the Escrow Agent of the Escrow
Agreement, the Balsbaugh Escrow Agreement, the Employment
Agreements and the Plan of Merger, and the execution of the
Appointment of Representative by each Clayco shareholder
(collectively, the “ Clayco Closing Documents
”), the Clayco Closing Documents will constitute the legal,
valid, and binding obligations of such parties, as applicable,
enforceable against them in accordance with their respective terms,
except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) the effect of
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership,
conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium or other laws affecting or
relating to the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) the rules
governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of

deliver and to perform his or its obligations under this Agreement
and the Clayco Closing Documents, as applicable.
(b) Assuming
the filings and approvals described in Sections 5.4 and 6.1 are

forth in Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(b), 7.1(c) and 7.1(d) are satisfied,
except as set forth in Part 3.2 of the Disclosure Letter, neither
the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation
or performance of any of the Contemplated Transactions will,
directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of
time):
|
|

conflict with, or result in a violation of (A) any provision of the
Organizational Documents of the Acquired Companies, or (B) any
resolution adopted by the board of directors or the shareholders of
any Acquired Company;
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii) contravene,
conflict with, or result in a violation of, or give any
Governmental Body or other Person the right to challenge any of the
Contemplated Transactions or to exercise any remedy or obtain any
relief under any Legal Requirement or any Order to which any
Acquired Company, or any of the assets owned or used by any
Acquired Company, may be subject;
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iii) contravene,
conflict with, or result in a violation of any of the terms or
requirements of, or give any Governmental Body the right to revoke,
withdraw, suspend, cancel, terminate, or modify, any Governmental
Authorization that is held by any Acquired Company or that
otherwise relates to the business of, or any of the assets owned or
used by, any Acquired Company;
|
20
|
|
(iv) contravene,
conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of any provision
of, or give any Person the right to declare a default or exercise
any remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance of,
or to cancel, terminate, or modify, any Applicable Contract;
or
|
|
|
|
|
|
(v) result
in the imposition or creation of any Encumbrance upon or with
respect to any of the assets owned or used by any Acquired
Company.
|
Except as set forth in
Part 3.2 of the Disclosure Letter or as contemplated by this
Agreement, no Acquired Company is or will be required to give any
notice to or obtain any Consent from any Person in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation or
performance of any of the Contemplated Transactions.
The
authorized equity securities of Clayco consist of 200,000 shares of
common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of which 31,190 shares are
issued and outstanding and constitute the Shares. The Clayco
shareholders identified on Part 3.3 of the Disclosure Letter are
and will be on the Closing Date the record and beneficial owners
and holders of the Shares, and all such Shares shall be free and
clear of all Encumbrances as of the Closing. Each such
shareholder beneficially owns the number of Shares indicated on
Part 3.3 of the Disclosure Letter. All of the outstanding
equity securities of the Bank are owned of record and beneficially
by Clayco, free and clear of all Encumbrances. No legend or
other reference to any purported Encumbrance appears upon any
certificate representing equity securities of any Acquired Company,
except as set forth in Part 3.3 of the Disclosure Letter. All of
the outstanding equity securities of each Acquired Company have
been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable. Part 3.3 of the Disclosure Letter describes
each Applicable Contract relating to the issuance, sale, or
transfer of any equity securities or other securities of any
Acquired Company. None of the outstanding equity securities
or other securities of any Acquired Company was issued in violation
of the Securities Act or any other Legal Requirement. Except
as set forth in Part 3.3 of the Disclosure Letter, no Acquired
Company owns, or has any Applicable Contract to acquire, any equity
securities or other securities of any Person (other than Acquired
Companies) or any direct or indirect equity or ownership interest
in any other business (other than those acquired in connection with
collection).
|
|
3.4
|
BANKING REPORTS;
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
(a) Each
Acquired Company has filed all forms, reports, and documents
required to be filed with the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, the
Kansas or Missouri banking authorities and any other applicable
federal or state securities or banking authorities (collectively,
the “ Regulatory Reports ”). The Regulatory
Reports (i) were prepared in accordance with Legal Requirements,
and (ii) at the time they were filed, did not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
21
(b)
Clayco has delivered to Buyer: the unaudited consolidated balance

unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Clayco as at September 30,
2006 (the “ Interim Balance Sheet ”), and the

amendments thereto, filed with any Governmental Body by any
Acquired Company for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003 and all such reports required to be filed after that date
until the Closing Date. Such financial statements and notes
fairly present the financial condition and the results of
operations, and, as applicable, the changes in shareholders’
equity, and cash flow, of the Acquired Companies as at the
respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such
financial statements, all in accordance with GAAP; the financial
statements referred to in this Section 3.4 reflect the consistent
application of such accounting principles throughout the periods
involved. No financial statements of any Person other than
the Acquired Companies are required by GAAP to be included in the
consolidated financial statements of Clayco.
The
books of account, minute books, stock record books, and other
records of the Acquired Companies, all of which have been made
available to Buyer, are complete and correct and have been
maintained in accordance with sound business practices, including
the maintenance of an adequate system of internal controls.
The minute books and other corporate records of the Acquired
Companies contain accurate and complete records of all meetings
held of, and action taken by, the shareholders, the Boards of
Directors, and committees of the Boards of Directors of the
Acquired Companies, and no meeting of any such shareholders, Board
of Directors, or committee has been held for which minutes have not
been prepared and are not contained in such minute books. The
unexecuted minutes of the shareholders, the Boards of Directors,
and committees of the Boards of Directors of the Acquired Companies
made available to Buyer prior to Closing are complete and correct
and accurately reflect the minutes included in the minute
books. At the Closing, all of those books and records will be
in the possession of the Acquired Companies.

Companies’ Knowledge, all Improvements are in compliance with
all applicable Legal Requirements, including those pertaining to

Company’s business is in its possession.
23
Except
as set forth in Part 3.8 of the Disclosure Letter, all loans and
discounts shown on the Acquired Companies’ financial
statements or that were entered into after the date of the most

Acquired Companies, in accordance with sound banking practices, and
are not subject to any known defenses, set-offs, or counter-claims,
including any such as are afforded by usury or truth in lending
laws, except as may be provided by bankruptcy, solvency, or similar
laws or by general principles of equity. Except as set forth in
Part 3.8 of the Disclosure Letter, the notes and other evidence of
indebtedness evidencing such loans and all forms of pledges,
mortgages, and other collateral documents and security agreements
are valid, true, and genuine and perfected and what they purport to
be. The Acquired Companies have complied and, prior to the Closing
Date, shall comply with all material Legal Requirements relating to
such loans.

anticipated losses on outstanding loans, net of recoveries.
All material guarantees of indebtedness owed to any Acquired
Company, including, but not limited to, those of the Federal
Housing Administration, the Small Business Administration, the

|
|
3.10
|
NO UNDISCLOSED
LIABILITIES
|
Except
as set forth in Part 3.10 of the Disclosure Letter, the Acquired
Companies have no liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether
known or unknown and whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or
otherwise) except for (a) amounts incurred in connection with the
Transaction Documents (in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$100,000), (b) liabilities or obligations reflected or
reserved against in the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet
and (c) current liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of
Business since the date of the Interim Balance Sheet.
(a) The
Acquired Companies have filed or caused to be filed all Tax Returns
that are or were required to be filed by or with respect to any of
them, either separately or as a member of a group of corporations,
pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, and all such federal and
state income Tax Returns filed since February 14, 2001, have been
timely filed. Clayco has made available to Buyer copies of each
such Tax Return filed since the date it was incorporated, and Part
3.11 of the Disclosure Letter contains a complete and accurate list
of each
24
type of Tax Return filed
since the date it was incorporated. The Acquired Companies
have paid, or made provision for the payment of, all Taxes that
have or may have become due pursuant to those Tax Returns or
otherwise, or pursuant to any assessment received by any Acquired
Company, except such Taxes, if any, as are listed in Part 3.11 of
the Disclosure Letter and are being contested in good faith and as
to which adequate reserves (determined in accordance with GAAP)
have been provided in the Balance Sheet and the Interim Balance
Sheet.
(b) The
United States federal and state income Tax Returns of each Acquired
Company subject to such Taxes are closed by the applicable statute
of limitations for all taxable years through 2002. Part 3.11 of the
Disclosure Letter describes all adjustments to the United States
federal income Tax Returns filed by any Acquired Company or any
group of corporations including any Acquired Company for all
taxable years, and the resulting deficiencies proposed by the IRS.
Except as described in Part 3.11 of the Disclosure Letter, no
Acquired Company has given or been requested to give waivers or
extensions (or is or would be subject to a waiver or extension
given by any other Person) of any statute of limitations relating
to the payment of Taxes of any Acquired Company or for which any
Acquired Company may be liable.
(c) The
charges, accruals, and reserves with respect to Taxes on the
respective books of each Acquired Company are adequate (determined
in accordance with GAAP) and are at least equal to that Acquired
Company’s liability for Taxes. There exists no proposed
tax assessment against any Acquired Company except as disclosed in
the Balance Sheet or in Part 3.11 of the Disclosure Letter.
No consent to the application of Section 341(f)(2) of the IRC has
been filed with respect to any property or assets held, acquired,
or to be acquired by any Acquired Company. All Taxes that any
Acquired Company is or was required by Legal Requirements to
withhold or collect have been duly withheld or collected and, to
the extent required, have been paid to the proper Governmental Body
or other Person.
(d) All
Tax Returns filed by (or that include on a consolidated basis) any
Acquired Company are true, correct, and complete. There is no
tax sharing agreement that will require any payment by any Acquired
Company. No Acquired Company is or ever has been an
“S” corporation. During the consistency period (as
defined in Section 338(h)(4) of the IRC with respect to conversion
of the Shares), no Acquired Company or target affiliate (as defined
in Section 338(h)(6) of the IRC with respect to the conversion of
the Shares) has sold or will sell any property or assets to Buyer
or to any member of the affiliated group (as defined in Section
338(h)(5) of the IRC) that includes Buyer. Part 3.11 of the
Disclosure Letter lists all such target affiliates.
(e) The
Acquired Companies have no income tax liability (including interest
and penalties) in connection with any deferred compensation
agreement between the Bank and any employee under the deferred
compensation provisions of the IRC, including Section 409A of the
IRC, and any such liability is solely the responsibility of such
employee.
|
|
