(a)          each share of Pegasus Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Share Exchange and without any further action, be converted into the right to receive the Acquisition Consideration Per Share;

 

(b)          any shares of Pegasus Common Stock held in the treasury of Pegasus shall, by virtue of the Share Exchange and without any further action, be cancelled without the payment of any consideration therefor; and

 

(c)          each share of BancFirst capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be issued and outstanding and will be unaffected by the Share Exchange.

 

3.2         Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Pegasus Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are owned by stockholders that have properly perfected their right of appraisal within the meaning of Section 10.351 et seq. of the TBOC (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not remain outstanding, and the holders thereof shall be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with such provisions of the TBOC. If any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right of appraisal, each share of such Pegasus Common Stock held by such stockholder shall be converted into the right to receive the Acquisition Consideration Per Share in accordance with Section 3.1(b).

 

3.3         Surrender of Certificates; Paying Agent.

 

(a)          Paying Agent. As of the Effective Time, BancFirst shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, in a non-interest bearing account at BancFirst, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, an Oklahoma banking corporation (which, when acting in such capacity, is referred to herein as the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Pegasus Common Stock (collectively, the “Pegasus Certificates”), for exchange in accordance with this Article III, an aggregate amount of cash equal to the Acquisition Consideration.

 

  

 

 

(b)          Exchange Procedures.

 

(i)          At least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall mail or deliver to each holder of record of shares of Pegasus Common Stock a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected only upon delivery of Pegasus Certificates to the Paying Agent, and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Pegasus and BancFirst reasonably specify, including, without limitation, a release by each Pegasus shareholder of all claims against Pegasus (other than claims arising under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents), and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Pegasus Certificates in exchange for the Acquisition Consideration Per Share. Upon surrender of an Pegasus Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as the Paying Agent may reasonably require, at the Closing the holder of such Pegasus Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) the Acquisition Consideration Per Share, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Pegasus Common Stock represented by the certificate so surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article III (which amount shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent), and Pegasus Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3, each Pegasus Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Acquisition Consideration Per Share with respect to the shares of Pegasus Common Stock represented by such Pegasus Certificate.

 

(ii)         Notwithstanding the payment procedures described in Section 3.3(b)(i) above, in the event that a holder of Pegasus Certificates surrenders such Pegasus Certificates and a properly executed letter of transmittal evidencing such holder’s election to surrender such shares pursuant to this Agreement, and such other documents as the Paying Agent may reasonably require, to the Paying Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then, immediately following the Closing, BancFirst shall cause the Paying Agent to deliver to such holder of such Pegasus Certificates an amount equal to the amount payable to such shareholder pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i) by, at the option of such holder (A) delivery of a bank cashier’s check payable to such holder, (B) a direct deposit into such holder’s account at Pegasus, or (C) subject to the holder being entitled to receive not less than $100,000 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.3(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such holder.

 

(c)          No Further Ownership Rights in Pegasus Common Stock. The Acquisition Consideration Per Share paid upon surrender of shares of Pegasus Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Pegasus Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Pegasus of the shares of Pegasus Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which were evidenced by Pegasus Certificates. If, after the Effective Time, Pegasus Certificates are presented to BancFirst for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

 

 10  

 

 

(d)          Lost or Stolen Certificate. In the event that any Pegasus Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue and pay the Acquisition Consideration Per Share to such shareholder in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, together with such other documents required under Section 3.3(b)(i); provided, that the Paying Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of cash, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate to submit to the Paying Agent a bond in form and substance satisfactory to the Paying Agent in an amount not to exceed the aggregate Acquisition Consideration the owner will receive, or an indemnification agreement in a form acceptable to BancFirst, whereby such shareholder agrees to indemnify BancFirst, Pegasus and the Paying Agent against any claim that may be made against them with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

(e)          Termination of Fund; Limit of Liability. Any portion of the cash funds deposited in a segregated account pursuant to Section 3.3(a), which remains undistributed to the shareholders of Pegasus for six months after the Effective Time may be transferred by the Paying Agent from such segregated account to BancFirst’s general operating accounts. Neither BancFirst, the Paying Agent nor Pegasus shall be liable to any holder of shares of Pegasus Common Stock for any portion of such cash funds that may be later delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

 

(f)          Withholding. The Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Pegasus Common Stock such amounts as BancFirst is required to deduct and withhold with respect to making such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by BancFirst, such amounts shall be remitted to the appropriate tax authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Pegasus Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by BancFirst.

 

(g)          Liens and Encumbrances. Any of the shares of Pegasus Common Stock that are subject to liens and encumbrances shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Acquisition Consideration unless BancFirst receives evidence satisfactory to it that such liens or encumbrances have been or will be released upon receipt of the applicable portion of the Acquisition Consideration.

 

3.4         Final Dividend Paying Agent. If a Final Dividend has been declared prior to the Closing (based on the Pegasus Tangible Shareholders Equity as of the Valuation Date) but remains unpaid immediately prior to the Closing, Pegasus, in conjunction with the Closing, shall (a) deliver to BancFirst a shareholders list as of the Record Date for the payment of the Final Dividend, which shareholders list shall include those matters specified in Section 2.6(a)(ix), and (b) deposit with BancFirst immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Final Dividend. Subject to receipt of the shareholders list and said funds, BancFirst shall act as the paying agent for the Final Dividend. In such capacity, BancFirst shall mail or deliver a check to each Pegasus shareholder as of the Record Date, as reflected on the shareholders list described above, in an amount equal to that portion of the Final Dividend due such shareholder.

(e)          by BancFirst or Pegasus in writing, if the Closing has not occurred by the close of business on September 30, 2019; provided, that this right to terminate shall not be available to any party whose failure to perform an obligation under this Agreement has been the direct and principal cause of, or directly and principally resulted in, the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated by such date.

 

8.2         Effect of Termination.

 

(a)          In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect, except that (i) Article IX in its entirety shall survive any such termination; and (ii) a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall not relieve the breaching party from liability for any grossly negligent or willful breach of any covenant, undertaking, representation or warranty giving rise to such termination.

 

(b)          In the event this Agreement is terminated by Pegasus pursuant to Section 8.1(d) hereof or the Board of Directors withdraws its recommendation to approve this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.6(b), then, in either of such events, the Company shall pay to BancFirst a termination fee in the amount of $4,000,000 (the “Pegasus Termination Fee”), in the manner and at the time set forth in Section 8.2(c) hereof.

 

 34  

 

 

(c)          If the Pegasus Termination Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b), it shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by BancFirst within two (2) Business Days after termination of this Agreement. Pegasus acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without such agreements BancFirst would not have entered into this Agreement, and that such amounts do not constitute a penalty. If Pegasus fails to promptly pay BancFirst the amounts due under this Section 8.2 within the time period specified herein, Pegasus shall pay all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by BancFirst in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit, taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with interest from the date due at the prime rate of interest, as adjusted from time to time, reported in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal.

 

8.3         Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall expire on, and be terminated and extinguished at, the Effective Time other than covenants that, by their terms, are to be performed after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the covenants set forth in the Retention Agreements shall survive until the expiration of the applicable periods specified therein.

 

8.4         Waiver. Each party hereto by written instrument may at any time extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto and may waive (a) any inaccuracies of the other party in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant hereto, (b) compliance with any of the covenants, undertakings or agreements of the other party or, to the extent permitted by law, satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent to its obligations contained herein, or (c) the performance by the other party of any of its obligations set forth herein.

 

8.5         Amendment or Supplement. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented at any time by a mutual agreement in writing executed by each of the parties hereto.

BancFirst Corporation

P.O. Box 26788

Oklahoma City, OK 73126-0788

 

Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned shareholder of Pegasus Bank, Dallas, Texas, a Texas banking corporation (“Pegasus”), understands that BancFirst Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation (“BancFirst”), is concurrently herewith entering into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Pegasus. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, Pegasus will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Pegasus (the “Pegasus Common Stock”), and the Pegasus Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive the Acquisition Consideration described therein (the “Share Exchange”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Share Exchange Agreement. The obligations of the undersigned pursuant to this Shareholder Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) consummation of the Share Exchange, or (b) the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement unless the Share Exchange Agreement is terminated (x) by BancFirst in accordance with Section 8.1(b) of the Share Exchange Agreement, or (y) by Pegasus in accordance with Section 8.1(d) of the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

1.            In order to induce BancFirst and Pegasus to enter into the Share Exchange Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the undersigned hereby represents, warrants and agrees that at the meeting of Pegasus’ shareholders contemplated by Section 6.6 of the Share Exchange Agreement and any adjournment thereof, the undersigned will, in person or by proxy, vote or cause to be voted all of the shares of Pegasus Common Stock beneficially owned by the undersigned individually or, to the extent of the undersigned’s proportionate voting interests, jointly with other persons, as well as (to the extent of the undersigned’s proportionate voting interest) any other shares of Pegasus Common Stock over which the undersigned may hereafter acquire beneficial ownership (collectively, the “Shares”) in favor of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange. The undersigned further agrees that he or she will use his or her commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other shares of Pegasus Common Stock over which he or she has or shares voting power or with respect to which the undersigned may provide instructions or similar advice to a trustee to be voted in favor of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange.

 

2.            The undersigned represents and warrants that he or she has or shares the beneficial ownership of the number of shares of Pegasus Common Stock set forth opposite his or her name on Schedule 1 hereto. The undersigned further represents, warrants and agrees that until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, or (ii) the termination of this Voting Agreement in accordance with its terms, the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly:

Share Exchange Agreement

4.            It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Voting Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Voting Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Voting Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Voting Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

It is accordingly agreed that BancFirst shall be entitled to seek such an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Voting Agreement by the undersigned and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which BancFirst is entitled at law or in equity.

 

6.            This Voting Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. A facsimile or other electronic transmission of a signed counterpart of this Voting Agreement shall be sufficient to bind the party or parties whose signature(s) appear thereon.

 

7.            This Voting Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applicable to agreements made and entirely to be performed within such jurisdiction except to the extent federal law may be applicable. If any provision hereof is deemed unenforceable by a court of law, the enforceability of the other provisions hereof shall not be affected.

 

8.            It is a condition to the effectiveness of this Voting Agreement that the Share Exchange Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by the parties thereto.
