Stock shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of Bancshares, except the

right to receive their respective percentage interest of the Merger

Consideration); and

(c) upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence

of Bancshares will cease and Acquisition Company will be the Surviving

(100%) of the issued and outstanding Bank Stock.

2.02 Closing. The closing (the "Closing") of the Merger, unless the

parties hereto shall otherwise mutually agree, shall take place at the offices

of ENB's counsel in Kansas City, Missouri, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on a date

designated by ENB (the "Closing Date"), which shall be at least two (2) business

days and not more than thirty (30) business days following the receipt of all

requisite approvals of the Merger by the Federal Reserve Board, Missouri

Director of Finance and any other bank regulatory agency that may be necessary

or appropriate, and the expiration of any required waiting period.

2.03 Method of Effecting the Merger and Effective Time. On the Closing

Date, the parties hereto will cause the Merger to be consummated by delivering

to the Missouri Secretary of State, for filing, copies of the Merger Agreement

and related articles of merger in such form as is required by, and executed in

accordance with, the relevant provisions of Chapter 351 of the Missouri Revised

Statutes. The Merger shall be effective at the Effective Time.

2.04 Articles and Bylaws. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of

Acquisition Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be

the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each

case until amended in accordance with their respective provisions and applicable

law.

2.05 Board of Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time, (i) the

members of the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation and the terms of

these directors shall be as designated by ENB immediately prior to the Effective

Time, and (ii) the officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the persons

designated by ENB immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such persons will

serve in their designated offices, thereafter, until their respective successors

are duly elected and qualified.

2.06 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the

Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any further deeds,

assignments or assurances in law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to

(a) vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving

4

<PAGE>

2.07 Payment and Delivery of Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time,

on the Closing Date, Acquisition Company shall deliver to each of the

shareholders of Bancshares the amount of cash that equals their respective

stockholder percentage ownership interest in the outstanding shares of

Bancshares Stock as of the Effective Time multiplied by the Merger

Consideration, which shall be computed as follows. Book Value of Bancshares for

purposes of calculating the Merger Consideration shall be determined by taking

the capital account from the Bank's Daily Statement for the business day

immediately preceding the Closing Date; entering that amount as Bancshares'

Investment in Subsidiary Bank on the books of Bancshares; taking the total

stockholder's equity amount from the financial statement of Bancshares for the

business day immediately preceding the Closing Date (without reflecting the

unrealized gains and losses of the subsidiary Bank) and utilizing that amount as

the Book Value of Bancshares for the business day immediately preceding the

Closing Date. The Book Value of Bancshares so computed shall then be used to

increase or decrease the $32,862,000 component of the Merger Consideration

depending on whether Bancshares' Book Value is greater than or less than

$13,144,800. Adjustments, if any, including adjustments for the Bank's reserve

for loan losses and as contemplated by Section 6.05 shall be made on the date

that is 30 days after the Closing Date, at which time the Merger Consideration

will be adjusted, if necessary. The delivery of the above Merger Consideration

shall be made upon the surrender by each of the shareholders of Bancshares to

the Surviving Corporation of all certificates representing the total number of

shares of Bancshares Stock owned by such shareholder. Within 30 days immediately

following the Closing Date, ENB and the Shareholder Representative mutually will

verify and reconcile the calculation of the aggregate Merger Consideration.

After completing such verification and reconciliation, any portion of the Merger

Consideration that remains to be paid by Acquisition Company to the Shareholders

promptly shall be paid to them and any amount that previously has been paid by

Acquisition Company to the Shareholders in excess of the Merger Consideration to

which they are entitled promptly shall be paid by the Shareholders to

Acquisition Company, as the case may be.

2.08 Reservation of Right to Revise Transaction. ENB may at any time

change the method of effecting the acquisition of Bancshares and the Bank by ENB

(including without limitation the provisions of this Article II) if and to the

extent ENB deems such change to be desirable; provided, however, that no such

change shall (a) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration,

(b) in the reasonable opinion of the tax counsel or tax advisor of the Sellers,

adversely affect the tax treatment to the holders of Bancshares Stock as a

result of receiving the Merger Consideration, or (c) materially impede or delay

receipt of any approval referred to in Section 7.01(b) or the consummation of

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any

other agreement executed in connection herewith.

2.09 Escrow Deposit by ENB. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement,

substantially as set forth in Exhibit B hereto, at the date of execution of this

Agreement, ENB will deposit with the Escrow Agent the sum of $100,000 (the

"Escrow Deposit"), to be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance

with the Escrow Agreement. In the event that the Closing does not occur by June

30, 2005, but the Buyer Entities are not in default under any of the terms of

this Agreement and are in compliance with all of the terms hereof applicable to

them, the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to ENB. In the event that there is no

Closing by June 30, 2005 because the Buyer Entities are in default under any of

the terms of this Agreement applicable to them, and Sellers are in compliance

with all of the terms hereof applicable to them,

5

<PAGE>

the Escrow Deposit shall be paid to Bancshares, on behalf of the Sellers, as

liquidated damages for the breach hereof by the Buyer Entities. At the Closing,

the Escrow Deposit will be paid to Acquisition Company for disbursement to the

shareholders of Bancshares upon their surrender to the Surviving Corporation of

the certificates representing the outstanding shares of Bancshares Stock

pursuant to Section 2.07.

2.10 Tax Consequences. The parties intend that for federal income tax

purposes the Merger shall be a sale by Bancshares and the Bank of all of their

assets to ENB, in exchange for the cash Merger Consideration. To effect the

parties' intended income taxation of the transaction, the parties agree to make

the elections provided in Internal Revenue Code Sections 338(a) and (g) and 338

(h)(10) and the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder, including Section

1.338(h)(10)-1. The parties shall execute and timely file with the Internal

Revenue Service, and appropriate state taxing authorities if necessary, all

election statements, forms, or other information necessary or appropriate to

perfect the elections under Section 338(a) and 338(h)(10). The parties further

agree that the aggregate Merger Consideration shall be allocated among the

acquired assets consistent with Income Tax Regulation Sections 1.338-6 and

1.1060-1(c). The valuation of Bancshares' and the Bank's assets and liabilities

for purposes of the Asset Acquisition Statement (Form 8594) shall be as

determined by the mutual agreement of Bancshares and ENB prior to the Closing,

based on the parties' reasonable best judgment of the respective Book Values of

such assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP, except that the Bank's

securities portfolio will be valued at market value, its loan portfolio will be

valued at book value net of the loan loss reserve, its real property and

improvements will be valued at their appraised value, and its furniture,

fixtures and equipment and software will be valued at depreciated tax book

value.
