AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is effective as of February 20, 2013, by and between First Financial Bankshares, Inc., a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHCA”) with its principal offices in Abilene, Texas (“FFIN”), First Financial Bank, N.A., a national association with its main office in Abilene, Texas (“FFB”), OSB Financial Services, Inc., a Texas corporation with its principal offices in Orange, Texas (“OSB”), and Orange Savings Bank, SSB (the “Bank”), a Texas savings bank with its home office in Orange, Texas.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, OSB is the holder of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank (the “Bank Stock”); and

WHEREAS, FFIN desires to acquire all of the Bank Stock from OSB, through the forward merger of the Bank with and into FFB, with FFB surviving, on the terms and conditions set forth below (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, the parties desire that the Merger be treated as a taxable sale of the stock of a qualified subchapter S subsidiary (within the meaning of § 1361(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) that is treated as a taxable asset sale for federal and state income tax purposes;

WHEREAS, as a result of the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Bank Stock will be converted into and exchanged for cash or common shares, par value $0.01 per share, of FFIN (the “FFIN Stock”) in the manner provided for in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of FFIN (the “FFIN Board”), the board of directors of FFB (the “FFB Board”), the board of directors of OSB (the “OSB Board”) and the board of directors of the Bank (the “Bank Board”) have each approved this Agreement and the proposed transactions substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto and have authorized the execution hereof;

WHEREAS, OSB, the Bank, FFIN and FFB desire to enter into this Agreement for the purposes specified herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth below, the parties, intending to be legally bound, undertake, promise, covenant and agree with each other as follows:

ARTICLE I

ACQUISITION OF THE BANK STOCK

Section 1.01 Merger of the Bank with and into FFB. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, OSB shall convey, assign, sell and transfer all of the Bank Stock to FFIN by means of the merger of the Bank with and into FFB, with FFB surviving (the “Merger”), on the Effective Date (as defined in Section 1.02) pursuant to the provisions of 12 U.S.C. §215a and 7 T.A.C. §75.89.

Section 1.02 Effective Date and Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Merger will be effective on the date and at the time specified in the letter certifying consummation of the Merger issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). The date on which the Merger is effective is referred to herein as the “Effective Date,” and the parties will use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.01) to occur on the Effective Date, and the effective time of the Merger is referred to herein as the “Effective Time.”

Section 1.03 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in 12 U.S.C. §215a and 7 T.A.C. §75.89. After the Merger, FFB shall continue as the entity resulting from the Merger (the “Resulting Bank”), and the separate corporate existence of the Bank shall cease. The name of the Resulting Bank shall be “First Financial Bank, N.A.” The existing offices and facilities of FFB immediately preceding the Merger shall be the principal offices and facilities of the Resulting Bank after the Merger and the offices and facilities of the Bank immediately before the Merger shall become established offices and facilities of the Resulting Bank after the Merger. At the Effective Time, all rights, title and interests to all real estate and other property owned by each of the Bank and FFB shall be allocated to and vested in the Resulting Bank without reversion or impairment, without further act or deed, and without any transfer or assignment having occurred, but subject to any existing liens or encumbrances thereon. At the Effective Time, all liabilities and obligations of the Bank and FFB shall be allocated to the Resulting Bank, and the Resulting Bank shall be the primary obligor therefor and no other party to the Merger shall be liable therefor. At the Effective Time, a proceeding pending by or against either the Bank or FFB may be continued as if the Merger did not occur, or the Resulting Bank may be substituted in the proceedings.

Section 1.04 Articles of Association and Bylaws. The Articles of Association of FFB will continue in effect as the Articles of Association of the Resulting Bank until the same will be amended and changed as provided by law. The Bylaws of FFB will continue in effect as the Bylaws of the Resulting Bank until the same will be amended and changed as provided by law.

Section 1.05 Directors and Senior Executive Officers. The directors and senior executive officers of the Resulting Bank at the Effective Time will be the directors and senior executive officers of FFB at the Effective Time and each of such persons will hold office from the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the Articles of Association and Bylaws of the Resulting Bank or as otherwise provided by law.

 

2


Section 1.06 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of FFIN, FFB, OSB or the Bank or any holder of the following securities:

(a) Each share of FFIN Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of FFIN as of the Effective Time and shall not be affected by the Merger.

(b) Each share of FFB common stock, par value $10.00 per share, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of FFB as of the Effective Time and shall not be affected by the Merger.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Article I, including an adjustment pursuant to Section 1.07, FFIN will deliver to OSB as full consideration for all of the Bank Stock, the following:

(i) a number of shares of FFIN Stock equal to 420,000 shares of FFIN Stock (the “Stock Consideration”); plus

(ii) cash in an amount equal to $39,200,000.00 (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

(d) If, between the date hereof and the Effective Date, the outstanding shares of FFIN Stock increase, decrease, change into or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization (a “Share Adjustment”), then the number of shares of FFIN Stock set forth in Section 1.06(c)(i) shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted so that the shareholder of the Bank shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in such proportion as it would have received pursuant to such Share Adjustment had the record date therefor been immediately after the Effective Date; provided, however, no fractional shares of FFIN Stock shall be issued in the Merger and in lieu thereof, any fractional share resulting from a Share Adjustment shall be rounded up to the next whole share of FFIN Stock.

(e) As of the Effective Time, all shares of Bank Stock converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.06 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired, and all rights with respect thereto shall cease to exist, and each holder of Bank Stock shall cease to have any rights thereto, except the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate(s) representing any such shares of Bank Stock in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, its pro rata share of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.06, subject to any adjustments thereto pursuant to Section 1.07.

(f) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Bank shall be closed, and no transfer of Bank Stock theretofore outstanding shall thereafter be made.

Section 1.07 Adjustment to Merger Consideration. If the Adjusted Equity (defined below) of the Bank, as calculated in accordance with this Section 1.07 as of the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, or such other date as mutually agreed to by the parties hereto (the “Calculation Date”), is less than $43.2 million (the “Minimum Equity”), the Cash Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the Minimum Equity and the Adjusted Equity. To the extent the Adjusted Equity exceeds the Minimum Equity on the Calculation Date, the Bank may dividend such excess amount to OSB after the Calculation Date and prior to the Effective Time.

(a) “Adjusted Equity” means total equity capital of the Bank, with such amounts to be calculated in accordance with the methodology used in the Bank’s Report of Condition and Income (“Call Report”) to calculate the total equity capital (Call Report Schedule RC - Balance Sheet, item 27.a). For comparative purposes, as of September 30, 2012, the Bank’s Adjusted Equity was $44.429 million.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, Adjusted Equity at Closing shall reflect the following agreed upon adjustments:

(i) all Bank Merger Costs (defined below), if paid or accrued by the Bank and not reimbursed by OSB prior to the Calculation Date, shall have been accounted for as either a direct or indirect reduction of Adjusted Equity. Bank Merger Costs means (a) the legal, professional, investment banking, consulting and accounting fees and expenses of the Bank associated with the Merger, including any cost to obtain any opinion as to the financial fairness of the Merger, (b) all fees for obtaining the Tail Coverage (as defined in Section 5.19), (c) the payments owed by OSB or the Bank to those employees and in such amounts listed on Confidential Schedule 1.07(b)(i), including, without limitation any stay- pay or retention bonus amounts or change in control payments (all of which shall be reflected on Confidential Schedule 1.07(b)(i) including the name of the recipient, the amount of such payment and with respect to any stay-pay or retention bonus arrangements, the date through which the recipient must remain employed by the Resulting Bank to receive the stay-pay or retention bonus amount); provided, however, if any person identified on Confidential Schedule 1.07(b)(i) does not satisfy the conditions and requirements necessary to receive such stay-pay or retention bonus amount, then FFB shall forward any balance otherwise due to such person to OSB promptly following the date on which such payment would otherwise have been made, and (d) the accrual or payment of all of the costs, fees, expenses and penalties necessary to be paid by the Bank in connection with any contract termination required pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all costs, fees, expenses and penalties associated with the termination of the data processing or technology contracts contemplated by Section 5.15 hereof (the “Contract Termination Accrual”); provided, however, if the actual amount of the costs, fees, expenses and penalties necessary to terminate such data processing and technology contracts (the “Contract Termination Amount”) is less than the Contract Termination Accrual, then FFB shall forward to OSB an amount equal to the difference between the Contract Termination Accrual and the Contract Termination Amount promptly following the date on which the Contract Termination Amount is paid.

 

4


(ii) any dividends (whether paid or declared) to OSB by the Bank shall have been recorded by the Bank as a reduction of Adjusted Equity.

(iii) for purposes of calculating the Adjusted Equity pursuant to this Agreement, the balance of the Bank’s Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, as would be reflected on Line 26b of Schedule RC of the Call Report as if the Calculation Date were a Call Report date, is agreed to be $3,647,382; provided, that such amount shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, by the accumulated loss reflected in such account between September 30, 2012 and the Calculation Date, and by the accumulated gain reflected in such account at September 30, 2012 on any security sold during such period, respectively.

(iv) except as set forth on Confidential Schedule 1.07(b)(iv), any gains recognized on sales of loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration shall be deducted from Adjusted Equity.

Section 1.08 Shareholders’ Meeting. OSB, acting through the OSB Board, shall, in accordance with applicable law:

(a) duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”) as soon as practicable for the purpose of approving and adopting this Agreement, the sale of substantially all of the assets of OSB as contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger, and the transactions contemplated hereby;

(b) require no greater than the minimum vote of the common shares of OSB, par value $1.00 per share (the “OSB Shares”), required by applicable law in order to approve this Agreement, the sale of substantially all of the assets of OSB as contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger, and the transactions contemplated hereby;

Section 1.09 Tax Treatment / Section 1060 Allocation.

(a) FFIN and OSB intend for the Merger to be a taxable sale of the stock of a qualified subchapter S subsidiary (within the meaning of §1361(b)(3)(B) of the Code) that is treated as a taxable asset sale for federal and state income tax purposes, and this Agreement shall be interpreted consistent with that intent. FFIN and OSB shall each use their reasonable best efforts to take such actions and execute such documents as may be necessary to enable the Merger to be treated as an asset sale for federal income tax purposes. OSB shall take no action that would result in the Merger not being treated as an asset sale for federal income tax purposes.

(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, FFIN shall prepare and deliver to OSB a schedule setting forth (i) the cash and the fair market value of the stock consideration paid to OSB in the Merger, (ii) the liabilities assumed in the Merger, and (iii) FFIN’s proposed allocation of the sum of (i) and (ii) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). For purposes of the parties’ federal income tax returns, the Purchase Price Allocation shall be made in accordance with Code § 1060, the applicable Income Tax Regulation Sections issued under Code §§ 1060 and 338, and other applicable federal income tax guidance, including the instructions to the appropriate IRS forms. The federal Purchase Price Allocation shall be reflected on the appropriate IRS forms, including IRS Form 8594, and included in the returns of OSB and FFIN for their respective tax years which include the Closing Date with respect to OSB and the day after the Closing Date with respect to FFIN. To the extent that the asset sale is subject to tax by any state or local jurisdiction, the Purchase Price Allocation relative to such state or local returns shall similarly be made in accordance with the comparable state or local guidance as appropriate.

(c) The parties agree upon and after delivery of the Purchase Price Allocation schedule referred to in Section 1.09(b), to have good faith discussions of any and all differences of view which may arise between them regarding the material contained therein. If within a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the Purchase Price Allocation schedule, or such extension of this discussion period as mutually agreed by the parties, the parties have not agreed upon the Purchase Price Allocation schedule, then within ten (10) days thereafter, OSB will deliver to FFIN a written statement describing OSB’s objections to the Purchase Price Allocation schedule and all grounds therefor. OSB’s objections to the Purchase Price Allocation schedule shall be resolved by the Arbitrating Accounting Firm as provided in Section 1.09(d). After there is an agreement between FFIN and OSB, the Purchase Price Allocation shall be used for purposes of reporting the deemed sale of assets of the Bank in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. FFIN and OSB hereby agree that they will report the federal, state, foreign and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by

this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation, adjusted as appropriate by the parties’ respective transaction costs, which will not be included in the Purchase Price Allocation schedule but must be included in the parties’ actual tax filings.

(d) If the parties cannot agree upon the Purchase Price Allocation, an Arbitrating Accounting Firm (as defined below) shall be instructed to resolve any disputes referred to it pursuant to this Section 1.09 within fourteen (14) days after such referral. The resolution of disputes by the Arbitrating Accounting Firm shall be set forth in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accounting Firm shall be apportioned by the Arbitrating Accounting Firm based on the degree to which each party’s claims were unsuccessful and shall be paid by the parties in accordance with such determination. For example, if pursuant to this Section 1.09, OSB submitted an objection affecting the amount of Tax due in the amount of $100,000 and prevailed as to $45,000 of the amount, then the OSB would bear 55% of the fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accounting Firm and FFIN would bear 45% of such fees and expenses. The “Arbitrating Accounting Firm” shall be an independent certified public accounting firm mutually acceptable to FFIN and OSB (or, if the parties cannot agree within seven (7) days on such a firm, to BKD, LLP).

Section 1.10 Modification of Structure. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, FFIN may elect, subject to the filing of all necessary applications and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, to modify the structure of the transactions contemplated hereby so long as (i) there are no material adverse federal income tax consequences to the holders of OSB Stock as a result of such modification, (ii) the after tax consideration to be paid to the holders of OSB Stock is not changed in kind or reduced in amount, and (iii) such modification will not be likely to materially delay or jeopardize receipt of any required regulatory approvals or the Closing.

Section 1.11 Dissenting Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, OSB Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by shareholders (“Dissenting Shareholders”) who have not voted such shares in favor of the sale of substantially all of the assets of OSB as contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and who will have otherwise complied with the terms and provisions of Chapter 10, Subchapter H of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”) will be entitled to those rights and remedies set forth in Chapter 10, Subchapter H of the TBOC; but if a shareholder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses any such right or remedy granted by the TBOC, such OSB Shares will continue to remain issued and outstanding OSB Shares following the Effective Time.

Section 1.12 Dividend of Merger Consideration to OSB Shareholders. After the Effective Time and subject to Section 5.22 and Article XI, OSB shall distribute the balance of the Merger Consideration after repayment of the Senior Notes (as defined herein), the Trust Preferred Notes (as defined herein) and payment of any other expenses or obligations of OSB, to the holders of the OSB Shares, other than Dissenting Shareholders (the “OSB Shareholders”). OSB shall not distribute any fractional shares of FFIN Stock in connection with the OSB Dividend.

To the Knowledge of OSB and the Bank, each such Employee Plan is so qualified and has been operated in compliance with applicable law and its terms, any related trust is exempt from federal income tax under Code §501(a) and no event has occurred that will or reasonably could result in the loss of such tax exemption or to liability for any tax under Code §511. There are no pending claims, lawsuits or actions relating to any Employee Plan (other than ordinary course claims for benefits) and, to OSB’s and the Bank’s Knowledge, none are threatened, except to the extent that the Bank or any Employee Plan sponsored by the OSB or the Bank is involved in such transaction. Neither OSB nor the Bank provides benefits to any employee or dependent of such employee of the Bank after the employee terminates employment other than as disclosed in this Agreement or any schedule hereto or as required by law. No written or oral representations have been made by or on behalf of the Bank or OSB to any employee or former employee of the Bank promising or guaranteeing any employer payment or funding for the continuation of medical, dental, life or disability coverage or any other welfare benefit (as defined in ERISA §3(1)) for any period of time beyond the end of the current plan year (except to the extent of coverage required under Code §4980B). Compliance with FAS 106 would not create any material change to the OSB Financial Statements. The completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not cause a termination or partial termination, or otherwise accelerate the time of payment, exercise, or vesting, or increase the amount of compensation due to any employee, officer, former employee or former officer of OSB or the Bank except (i) as required by the terms of any Employee Plan provided to FFIN or by applicable law in connection with a qualified plan, (ii) as contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) except as identified on Confidential Schedule 3.28(c). There are no surrender charges, penalties, or other costs or fees that would be imposed by any person against the Bank, an Employee Plan, or any other person, including an Employee Plan participant or beneficiary, as a result of the hypothetical liquidation as of the Closing Date of any insurance, annuity, or investment contracts or any other similar investment held by any Employee Plan.

(d) All contributions to any Employee Plan (including, without limitation, all employer contributions, employee salary reduction contributions and all premiums or other payments (other than claims)) that are due and payable by the Bank or OSB on or before the Closing Date have been timely paid to or made with respect to each Employee Plan and, to the extent not presently payable, appropriate reserves have been established for the payment and properly accrued in accordance with customary accounting practices.

(e) To the Knowledge of OSB and the Bank, no participant, beneficiary or non-participating employee has been denied any benefit due or to become due under any Employee Plan; provided, however, with respect to any participant, beneficiary or nonparticipating employee of adopting employers other than OSB or the Bank, this

 

28


representation is limited to the Knowledge of OSB or the Bank with regard to the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions and the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions. Neither OSB nor the Bank has misled any person as to his or her rights under any Employee Plan. All obligations required to be performed by OSB or the Bank under any Employee Plan have been performed in all material respects and neither OSB nor the Bank is in default under or in violation of any material provision of any Employee Plan. To the Knowledge of OSB and the Bank, no event has occurred that would constitute grounds for an enforcement action by any party against the Bank or any fiduciary of any Employee Plan under part 5 of Title I of ERISA under any Employee Plan.

(f) With respect to each “employee benefit plan” (as defined in ERISA) maintained or contributed to or required to be contributed to, currently or within the last six years, by any corporation or trade or business, the employees of which, together with the employees of the Bank, are required to be treated as employed by a single employer under any of the rules contained in ERISA or Code §414 (the “Controlled Group Plans”):

(i) All Controlled Group Plans that are “group health plans” (as defined in Code §5000(b)(1) and ERISA §733(a)) have been operated up to the Closing in a manner so as to not subject the Bank to any material liability under Code §4980B or §4980D;

(ii) Except as set forth on Confidential Schedule 3.28(f), there is no Controlled Group Plan that is a “multiple employer plan” or “multiemployer plan” (as either such term is defined in ERISA), nor has there been any such plan under which the Bank or OSB has had any liability in the last 5 years (or would have had liability if notice had been given); and

(iii) Except as set forth on Confidential Schedule 3.27) or Confidential Schedule 3.28(f), each Employee Plan that provides (or has provided within the past 5 years) for health, dental, vision, life, disability or similar coverage is covered by one or more third-party insurance policies and the Bank is not liable for self-insuring any such claims.

Each such Controlled Group Plan is included in the listing of Employee Plans on Confidential Schedule 3.28(a).

(g) Except as set forth on Confidential Schedule 3.28(g), all Employee Plan documents, annual reports or returns, audited or unaudited financial statements, actuarial valuations, summary annual reports, and summary plan descriptions issued with respect to the Employee Plans are correct, complete, and current in all material respects, have been timely filed or distributed to the extent required by law; provided, however, that this representation is limited to the Knowledge of OSB or the Bank with regard to the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions and the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions.

 

29


(h) Except as disclosed on Confidential Schedule 3.28(h), no Employee Plan holds any stock or other securities of OSB or the Bank or provides the opportunity for the grant, purchase or contribution of any such security.

(i) Except as provided in Confidential Schedule 3.28(i), the Bank may, at any time amend or terminate any Employee Plan that it sponsors or maintains and may withdraw from any Employee Plan to which it contributes (but does not sponsor or maintain), without obtaining the consent of any third party, other than an insurance company in the case of any benefit underwritten by an insurance company, and without incurring liability except for unpaid premiums or contributions due for the pay period that includes the effective date of such amendment, withdrawal or termination.

(j) Each Employee Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Code §409A(d)(1) (a “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan”) subject to Code §409A has (i) been maintained and operated since January 1, 2005 (or, if later, from its inception) in good faith compliance with Code §409A of the Code and all applicable IRS regulations promulgated thereunder and, as to any such plan in existence prior to January 1, 2005, has not been “materially modified” (within the meaning of IRS Notice 2005-1) at any time after October 3, 2004, or has been amended in a manner that conforms with the requirements of Code §409A, and (ii) since January 1, 2009, been materially in documentary and operational compliance with Code §409A and all applicable IRS guidance promulgated thereunder. No additional tax under Code §409A(a)(1)(B) has been or is reasonably expected to be incurred by a participant in any such Employee Plan or other contract, plan, program, agreement, or arrangement. The Bank is not a party to, or otherwise obligated under, any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement that provides for the gross-up of taxes imposed by Code §409A(a)(1)(B). No currently outstanding stock option or other right to acquire OSB Shares or other equity security of OSB or the Bank under any Employee Plan, or the payment of cash based on the value thereof, (A) has, as to any employee of the Bank, an exercise price that was less than the fair market value of the underlying equity security as of the date such stock option or right was granted, as determined by OSB in good faith and in compliance with the relevant IRS guidance in effect on the date of grant (including, IRS Notice 2005-1 and § 1.409A-1 (b)(5 )(iv) of the Treasury regulations), (B) has any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of such option or right, or (C) has been granted after December 31, 2004, with respect to any class of stock of OSB or the Bank that is not “service recipient stock” (within the meaning of applicable regulations under Code §409A).

Section 3.29 Obligations to Employees. All accrued obligations and liabilities of the Bank, OSB and all Employee Plans, for payments to trusts (including grantor trusts) or other funds, to any government agency or authority, or to any present or former director, officer, employee or agent (or his or her heirs, legatees or legal representatives) with respect to any of the matters listed below have been timely paid to the extent required by applicable law or the terms of such plan, contract program, policy, or other governing instruments: (a) withholding taxes, unemployment compensation or social security benefits; (b) all pension, profit-sharing, savings, stock purchase, stock bonus, stock ownership, stock option, phantom stock and stock

To the extent that payment of any obligation or liability under any of the foregoing is not currently required, adequate actuarial accruals and reserves for such payments have been and are being made by the Bank according to GAAP and applicable law applied on a consistent basis. All obligations and liabilities of OSB and the Bank for all other forms of compensation that are or may be payable to their current or former directors, officers, employees or agents, or pursuant to any Employee Plan, have been and are being paid to the extent required by applicable law or by the plan or contract, and adequate actuarial accruals and reserves for payment therefor have been and are being made by the Bank according to GAAP and generally accepted actuarial principles. All accruals and reserves referred to in this Section are correctly and accurately reflected and accounted for in all material respects in the OSB Financial Statements and the books, statements and records of the Bank.

Section 3.30 Interest Rate Risk Management Instruments. All interest rate swaps, caps, floors and option agreements and other interest rate risk management arrangements, whether entered into for the account of the Bank or for the account of a customer of the Bank, were entered into in the ordinary course of business and, to OSB’s and the Bank’s Knowledge, in accordance with prudent banking practice and applicable rules, regulations and policies of any regulatory authority and with counterparties believed to be financially responsible at the time and are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Bank, enforceable according to their terms, subject to the Bankruptcy Exception. The Bank has duly performed in all material respects all of its material obligations thereunder to the extent that such obligations to perform have accrued; and, to OSB’s and the Bank’s Knowledge, there are no material breaches, violations or defaults or allegations or assertions of such by any party thereunder.

Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, at its own cost and expense: (a) to assume responsibility and control of the defense, compromise or settlement of the Lawsuit that involves solely a claim for one or more liabilities for which indemnity may be sought hereunder, and (b) in any other case, to be consulted by the Indemnified Party (who will consider in good faith all requests of the Indemnifying Party with respect to all such proceedings) with respect to proceedings subject to control of the Indemnified Party. For so long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting any such Lawsuit in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to make payment under this Article XI to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party is controlling the conduct of any such Lawsuit, the Indemnifying Party will,

 

61


on request of the Indemnified Party, provide to the Indemnified Party, at reasonable intervals, a summary of any developments with respect to that Lawsuit. The Indemnified Party may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Indemnifying Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnified Party will supply the Indemnifying Party with information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party as necessary for the Indemnifying Party to control and conduct the defense of any Lawsuit, to prosecute any counterclaim or to participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this provision. The Indemnified Party will not enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any liability as to which indemnity may be sought without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld.

Section 11.05 Limitations on Indemnity with Respect to Time, Amount and Source.

(a) The indemnification obligations of the parties under Sections 11.02 and 11.03 of this Agreement will expire on the Indemnification Termination Date, except (i) in each instance with respect to any Losses arising out of Claims or Lawsuits for which an Indemnified Party has given a Notice of Claim prior to the Indemnification Termination Date, and (ii) nothing in this Section affects the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under Articles X and XII (the “Continuing Obligations”).

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, OSB will not be liable for FFIN Losses that are otherwise indemnifiable under Section 11.02 of this Agreement until the total of all FFIN Losses incurred by FFIN Indemnified Persons exceeds $100,000, whereupon OSB shall be required to indemnify FFIN only for the amount of the total of all FFIN Losses that exceeds the first $100,000. The maximum liability of OSB for all FFIN Losses under this Article XI is $1,000,000.

(c) Except as expressly provided herein, FFIN will not be liable for OSB Losses that are otherwise indemnifiable under Section 11.03 of this Agreement until the total of all OSB Losses incurred by OSB Indemnified Persons exceeds $100,000, whereupon FFIN shall be required to indemnify OSB only for the amount of the total of all OSB Losses that exceeds the first $100,000. The maximum liability of FFIN for all OSB Losses under this Article XI is $1,000,000.

Section 11.06 Additional Remedies. Nothing contained in this Article XI limits or otherwise affects the remedies available to OSB, the Bank, FFIN or FFB, or their respective officers, directors or agents with respect to any claim or cause of action arising out of the willful misconduct, misrepresentation, fraud or gross negligence of the other party, its Affiliates or any shareholder, director, employee or agent of the other party or its Affiliates.

Section 11.07 Tax Indemnification Matters. OSB shall indemnify and hold harmless FFIN and its Affiliates against any FFIN Losses attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the nonpayment thereof) of Bank for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”); (ii) all Taxes of OSB; (iii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Bank is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-6 or any

 

62


analogous or similar state, local or foreign law or regulation; and (iv) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Bank) imposed on the Bank as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring prior to the Closing Date, provided that no payment will be due under this Section 11.07 until the aggregate amount of such Taxes exceeds the amount of the Tax Accrual for the period ending as of the Closing. Tax Accrual means, with respect to the Bank, the aggregate amount of current liability accruals for Taxes (excluding reserves for deferred Taxes), if any, reflected on the OSB Financial Statements.

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.

This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, modification or supplement is sought.

VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY

This VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY (this “Agreement”) dated as of February 20, 2013 is executed by and among First Financial Bankshares, Inc., a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 with its principal offices in Abilene, Texas (“FFIN”), OSB Financial Services, Inc., a Texas corporation with its principal offices in Orange, Texas (“OSB”), Stephen Lee (“Lee”), as proxy, and the shareholders of OSB listed on the signature page to this Agreement (together with Lee referred to herein individually as a “Shareholder” and collectively as the “Shareholders”). 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, FFIN, First Financial Bank, N.A., a national association with its main office in Abilene, Texas (“FFB”), OSB and Orange Savings Bank, SSB, a Texas savings bank with its home office in Orange, Texas (the “Bank”), have executed that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 20, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the acquisition by FFIN of all or substantially all of the assets of OSB consisting of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Bank through the merger of the Bank with and into FFB, with FFB surviving the merger (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, Sections 5.25 and 8.07 of the Merger Agreement require that OSB and the Bank deliver to FFIN the irrevocable proxies of the Shareholders as a condition of, and simultaneously with, execution of the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, FFIN and FFB are relying on the irrevocable proxies in incurring expenses in reviewing the business of OSB and the Bank, in proceeding with the filing of applications for regulatory approvals, and in undertaking other actions necessary for the consummation of the Merger, and the Shareholders are benefiting both from such expenditures by FFIN and FFB and by the terms of the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, OSB, FFIN, and the Shareholders undertake, promise, covenant and agree with each other as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Each Shareholder, being the holder of common shares of OSB (the “Common Shares”) set forth below their names on the signature pages hereto, will vote, direct to vote, or act by consent with respect to:

 

  (a) the number of Common Shares set forth below the Shareholder’s name on the signature pages hereto,

 

  (b) all Common Shares the Shareholder owns as of the record date of any meeting of the shareholders of OSB or otherwise as of the date of such vote or consent, and

 

  (c) all Common Shares the Shareholder owns beneficially and has the power and authority to direct the voting thereof as of the record date of any meeting of the shareholders of OSB or otherwise as of the date of such vote or consent


(collectively, the “Shares”), in favor of approval of the sale of substantially all of the assets of OSB as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the Merger Agreement.

2. If OSB conducts a meeting of or otherwise seeks approval of its shareholders with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) or any other matter that may contradict this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or may prevent FFIN or OSB from completing the Merger, then the Shareholders will vote the Shares or otherwise act in the manner most favorable to completing the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

“Acquisition Proposal” means any of the following: (a) a merger, consolidation, or any similar transaction (other than the Merger or any merger of any Subsidiary of OSB with and into OSB or another Subsidiary of OSB) of any entity with OSB or any Subsidiary of OSB, (b) a purchase, lease or other acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of OSB or any Subsidiary of OSB, (c) a purchase or other acquisition of “beneficial ownership” by any “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange, or otherwise) that would cause such person or group to become the beneficial owner of securities representing 25% or more of the voting power of OSB or any Subsidiary of OSB after the date of this Agreement, (d) a tender or exchange offer to acquire securities representing 25% or more of the voting power of OSB, (e) a public proxy or consent solicitation made to the shareholders of OSB seeking proxies in opposition to any proposal relating to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (f) the making of a bona fide offer or proposal to the Board of Directors or shareholders of OSB to engage in one or more of the transactions referenced in clauses (a) through (e) above.

3. In order to better effect the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement, each Shareholder hereby revokes any previously executed proxies and hereby constitutes and appoints Lee with full power of substitution, his true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (the “Proxy Holder”) to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of OSB (each, a “Meeting”) all of each Shareholder’s Shares in favor of the approval of the sale of substantially all of the assets of OSB as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, with such modifications to the Merger Agreement as the parties thereto may make; but this proxy will not apply with respect to any vote on the sale of substantially all of the assets of OSB as contemplated by the Merger Agreement if the Merger Agreement is modified so as to (i) reduce the amount of consideration or the form of consideration to be received by OSB or (ii) alter the tax consequences of the receipt thereof under the Merger Agreement in its present form.

4. Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, each Shareholder will not, and will not agree to, without the consent of FFIN, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, cause to be redeemed or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares or grant any proxy or interest in or with respect to any such Shares or deposit such shares into a voting trust or enter into another voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Shares except as contemplated by this Agreement, unless the Shareholder causes the transferee of such Shares, or another holder of Common Shares in the amount of such Shares, to deliver to FFIN an amendment to this Agreement whereby such transferee becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement.

5. Lee, by his execution below, agrees to vote all of the Shareholders’ Shares at any Meeting, in favor of the approval of the sale of substantially all of the assets of OSB as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the Merger Agreement, with such modifications to the Merger

 

-2-


Agreement as the parties thereto may make; but this proxy will not apply with respect to any vote if the Merger Agreement is modified so as to reduce the amount of consideration or the form of consideration to be received by OSB or the tax consequences of the receipt thereof under the Merger Agreement in its present form.

6. Each of the Shareholder’s acknowledges that FFIN and OSB are relying on this Agreement in incurring expenses in connection with FFIN’s reviewing the Bank’s business, in OSB’s preparing a proxy statement, in FFIN preparing a private placement memorandum, in FFIN’s and FFB’s proceeding with the filing of applications for regulatory approvals, and in their undertaking other actions necessary for completing the Merger and that THE PROXY GRANTED HEREBY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND IS IRREVOCABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, SECTION 721.369 OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS CODE. The Shareholders and OSB acknowledge that the performance of this Agreement is intended to benefit FFIN and FFB.

7. The irrevocable proxy granted pursuant hereto will continue in effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement, as it may be amended or extended from time to time, or (b) completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

8. Lee may, in his sole discretion, appoint a substitute proxy to act as Proxy Holder under this Agreement. In the event of the death, disability or incapacity of Lee, FFIN, in its sole discretion, may appoint a substitute proxy to act as Proxy Holder under this Agreement.

9. The vote of the Proxy Holder will control in any conflict between his vote of the Shares and a vote by the substitute proxy holder or the Shareholders of the Shares, and OSB agrees to recognize the vote of the Proxy Holder instead of the vote of substitute proxy holder or the Shareholders if the substitute proxy holder or the Shareholders do not vote in accordance with Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement.

10. This 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 FFIN, OSB and that Shareholder.

EXHIBIT “B”

DIRECTOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This DIRECTOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 20, 2013, by and between First Financial Bankshares, Inc., a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 with its principal offices in Abilene, Texas (“FFIN”), 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, FFIN, First Financial Bank, N.A., a national association with its main office in Abilene, Texas (“FFB”), OSB Financial Services, Inc., a Texas corporation with its principal offices in Orange, Texas (“OSB”), and Orange Savings Bank, SSB, a Texas savings bank with its home office in Orange, Texas (the “Bank”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 20, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the acquisition by FFIN of all or substantially all of the assets of OSB consisting of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Bank through the merger of the Bank with and into FFB, with FFB surviving the merger (the “Merger”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the obligations of FFIN under the Merger Agreement, FFIN and Director have agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for receipt of such confidential information and trade secrets and in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and in the Merger Agreement intending to be legally bound hereby, FFIN 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 OSB, the Bank, any subsidiary of OSB or the Bank (“OSB Subsidiary”), FFIN or FFB, and their respective customer, client and vendor relationships. During the term of this Agreement, Director agrees also to consider FFB when obtaining banking products or services for his personal or business needs.

2. Director Covenants.

(a) Director acknowledges that he has received substantial, valuable consideration, including confidential trade secret and proprietary information relating to the identity and special needs of current and prospective customers of OSB or any OSB Subsidiary, OSB’s and any OSB Subsidiary’s current and prospective services, OSB’s and any OSB Subsidiary’s business projections and market studies, OSB’s and any OSB Subsidiary’s business plans and strategies, OSB’s and any OSB Subsidiary’s studies and information concerning special services unique to OSB or any OSB Subsidiary. Director further acknowledges and agrees that this consideration constitutes fair and adequate consideration for the execution of the non-solicitation restriction set forth below. Accordingly, other than in any capacity for or on behalf of FFIN or any subsidiary of FFIN, 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 OSB or any OSB Subsidiary as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date on behalf of any other insured depository institution;


(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 35 mile radius of any location of OSB or any OSB Subsidiary (the “Noncompete Area”) (but Director may (1) retain any existing ownership interest in any insured depository institution as disclosed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, (2) acquire an ownership interest in any publicly-traded depository institution, so long as that ownership interest does not exceed 3% of the total number of shares outstanding of that depository institution, and (3) invest in an existing mutual fund that invests, directly or indirectly, in such insured depository institutions),

(B) serve as an officer, director, employee, agent or consultant to any insured depository institution that has a location within the Noncompete Area, or

(C) establish or operate a branch or other office of an insured depository institution within the Noncompete Area; 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 12 months preceding the Closing Date was, an employee of OSB or any OSB Subsidiary; but nothing in this Section 2(a)(iii) applies to employment other than in the financial services business.

Director may not avoid the purpose and intent of this Section 2(a) by engaging in conduct within the geographically limited 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 are too broad in terms of time, geographic area, lines of commerce or otherwise, that 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 sale to FFIN of the goodwill of the business of the Bank, (ii) Director is receiving valuable consideration for this Agreement, (iii) the restrictions imposed upon Director by this Agreement are essential and necessary to ensure FFIN acquires the goodwill of the Bank, 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 FFIN in writing and meet with a FFIN representative and a neutral mediator (if FFIN elects to retain one at its expense) to discuss resolution of any disputes between the parties. Director will provide this notice at least 21 days before Director engages in any activity on behalf of a competing business or engages in other activity that could forseeably 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.

 

2


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 24 months after the Closing Date.

5. Waiver. Amendment and Modification. Any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefits thereof. This Agreement may be modified or amended at any time, by action of FFIN and the Director. Any waiver, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be in writing.

6. 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.

7. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD FOR THE PROVISIONS THEREOF REGARDING CHOICE OF LAW. VENUE FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL LIE IN ORANGE COUNTY, TEXAS.

8. 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 parties, and any assignment made or attempted in violation of this Section is void and of no effect.

9. 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.

10. Specific Performance. 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 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 temporary and/or permanent injunction or injunctions which a court of competent jurisdiction concludes is justified to prevent breaches of such performance and to specific enforcement of such covenants in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

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.
