         SECTION 1.8 Governing Law. The laws which are to govern this Merger
Agreement and the Surviving Corporation are the laws of the State of Kansas.

                                   ARTICLE II
                         STATUS AND CONVERSION OF SHARES

         The mode of carrying into effect the merger provided in this Merger
Agreement, and the manner and basis of converting the shares of PBI stock to
shares of TFIN stock are as follows:

         At the Effective Time by virtue of the merger and without any action on
the part of the holders thereof:

         SECTION 2.1 TFIN's Common Stock. None of the shares of common stock,
par value .00 per share of TFIN, issued at the Effective Time of the merger,
hereinafter referred to as "TFIN Common Stock," shall be converted as a result
of the merger, but all of such shares shall remain issued shares of TFIN.

         SECTION 2.2 PBI's Common Stock. TFIN shall appoint an Exchange Agent
("Exchange Agent") to accept surrender of the certificates representing shares
of PBI Common Stock and to deliver, in exchange for such surrendered
certificates, the consideration provided for herein in the form of the shares of
TFIN Common Stock or cash represented by such certificates.

                  a. At and after the Effective Time, each holder of a
certificate or certificates representing shares of PBI Common Stock, upon
presentation and surrender of such certificate or certificates to the Exchange
Agent, shall be entitled to receive the consideration provided for herein from
the Exchange Agent or TFIN, except that holders of those shares as to which
dissenters' rights shall have been asserted and perfected pursuant to the
Colorado Business Corporation Act ("CBCA") shall not receive the consideration
provided for herein but shall have the right to receive such consideration as
may be due such holders under the CBCA. Upon such presentation, surrender, and
exchange, as provided in this Section, certificates representing shares of PBI
Common Stock previously held shall be delivered to TFIN. Until so presented and
surrendered, each certificate or certificates which represent issued and
outstanding shares of PBI Common Stock at the Effective Time shall be deemed for
all purposes to evidence the right to receive the consideration as determined in
accordance with Section 2.3 of the Merger Agreement. If certificates
representing shares of PBI Common Stock have been lost, stolen, mutilated, or
destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall require the submission of a bond in lieu of
such certificate. At the Effective Time, the Stock Transfer Books of PBI shall
be closed and no transfer of PBI Common Stock shall thereafter be made, except
to TFIN as provided for herein.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5


                  b. No dividends or other distributions that are declared after
the Effective Time with respect to TFIN Common Stock payable to the holders of
record thereof after the Effective Time shall be paid to PBI stockholders
entitled to receive certificates representing TFIN Common Stock until such
stockholders surrender to the Exchange Agent their certificates representing PBI
Common Stock. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the stockholder in
whose name the certificates representing such TFIN Common Stock shall be issued
any dividends which shall have become payable with respect to such TFIN Common
Stock between the date of the Effective Time and the time of such surrender,
without interest.

                  c. The Exchange Agent's authorization may be terminated by
TFIN at any time after six months following the Effective Time. Upon termination
of such authorization, any shares of TFIN Common Stock and funds held by the
Exchange Agent for payment to PBI stockholders pursuant to this Agreement shall
be transferred to TFIN or its designee which shall thereafter perform the
obligations of the Exchange Agent. If outstanding certificates for shares of PBI
Common Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them not claimed prior to
such date on which such payments would otherwise escheat to or become the
property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the
extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the
property of TFIN (and to the extent not in its possession shall be paid over to
it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled
to such items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any
party to this Merger Agreement shall be liable to any holder of PBI Common Stock
for any amount paid to any governmental unit or agency having jurisdiction of
such unclaimed items pursuant to the abandoned property or other applicable law
of such jurisdiction.

                  d. The certificates evidencing the TFIN shares will bear a
legend substantially as follows:

         "The shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered
         under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are "restricted
         securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The
         shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred
         except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or
         pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the
         availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the
         Company."

                  e. PBI understands that the offer and sale of the TFIN Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities law and as a condition to the
issuance of shares of TFIN to each stockholder of PBI that receives shares of
TFIN Common Stock in the merger, that each such stockholder represents and
warrants that he or she is acquiring such securities for his or her own account
for investment and not with a view to the resale or other distribution thereof
and acknowledges that such securities may not be resold or transferred unless
they have been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and any
applicable state securities laws or TFIN has received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that any such proposed resale or
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933 and any applicable state


                                       5
<PAGE>   6


securities laws. At the time of closing, each such stockholder must also
acknowledge that he or she is familiar with the provisions applicable to the
resale of "restricted securities" within the meaning and the limitations of Rule
144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
of 1933.

                  f. Incidental Registration. For a period of time within two
(2) years of the Effective Time, each time that TFIN shall determine by
resolution of the Board of Directors to proceed with the actual preparation and
filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act") in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of its
Common Stock by it (other than a registration statement on a form that does not
permit the inclusion of shares by its security holders), TFIN will deliver
notice of its determination to all holders of TFIN common stock issued in
exchange for PBI common stock (pursuant to the Merger Agreement not theretofore
registered under the Commission and sold no later than thirty (30) days prior to
the filing of a registration statement with the Commission (hereinafter
"registrable securities"). Upon the written request of a holder of any such
registrable securities delivered to TFIN within ten (10 )days after receipt of
any such notice, TFIN will, except as herein provided, cause all such shares of
registrable securities, the holders of which have so requested registration
thereof, to be included in such registration statement at no expense to the
holders of such shares of registrable securities, all to the extent requisite to
permit the sale or other disposition by the prospective seller or sellers of the
registrable securities to be so registered; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall prevent TFIN from, at any time, abandoning or delaying any
registration. If, in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter of such
public offering, the inclusion of all of the registrable securities covered by a
request for registration would reduce the number of shares to be offered by TFIN
or interfere with the successful marketing of the shares of stock offered by
TFIN, the number of registrable securities otherwise to be included in the
underwritten public offering may be reduced in whole or in part pro rata (by
number of securities) among the holders thereof requesting such registration.
Holders requesting inclusion in the registration will also be subject to the
requirement that, to the extent requested by the underwriters, such holders
shall enter into any "lock-up" provisions or other similar agreements relating
to limiting the sale of TFIN common stock with respect to any shares not being
registered; provided that such "lock-up" period does not exceed 180 days. With
respect to any registration hereunder, TFIN shall bear the customary and
ordinary expenses of registration. However, selling holders of registerable
securities shall bear on a pro-rata basis any underwriting discounts and
commissions, transfer taxes and professional fees for services to the selling
holders.

         SECTION 2.3 Distribution to Stockholders.

         Each PBI stockholder will be required to designate, at the time he or
she votes for or against the proposed merger, the method of exchange of shares
of PBI Common Stock to be exchanged for cash and/or TFIN Common Stock.
Immediately prior to the Effective


                                       6
<PAGE>   7


Time, the capital of BANK shall be SIX MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($6,200,000) including any unrealized gain and/or loss on securities.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time the reserves required in Section 5.12
shall be as specified therein. The purchase price shall then be paid by TFIN so
that the aggregate purchase price paid for shares of PBI Common Stock shall
consist of TFIN Common Stock which will have a value of TWO MILLION DOLLARS
($2,000,000) and the remainder of the purchase price to be paid in cash in the
amount of ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS ($11,000,000). The number of shares of TFIN
Common Stock to be delivered under this section shall be determined by dividing
the $2,000,000 by the average closing price of TFIN stock as quoted on the
NASDAQ for the 45 market days prior to the Effective Time regardless of whether
or not any shares of TFIN traded on a particular trading day. If the average
price so determined is less than Six Dollars ($6.00) per share then the average
price shall be Six Dollars ($6.00) per share. If the average price so determined
is more than Eight Dollars ($8.00) per share then the average price shall be
Eight Dollars ($8.00) per share. An example of the calculations and distribution
to PBI stockholders is reflected in Exhibit 2.3A attached hereto.

         The Board of Directors of PBI shall provide to TFIN and TAC a chart or
listing, marked Exhibit 2.3B, to be attached hereto, which will show for each
PBI stockholder, the method of exchange of PBI Common Stock for TFIN Common
Stock and/or cash. Exhibit 2.3B shall be provided to TFIN and TAC prior to the
Effective Time.

         TFIN and TAC shall deliver cash and shares of TFIN Common Stock to the
Exchange Agent in accordance with Exhibit 2.3B at the Effective Time for the
payment of the Purchase Price to the stockholders of PBI.

         Any issued share of PBI Common Stock held in its treasury at the
Effective Time shall be canceled.

         SECTION 2.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of the TFIN's
Common Stock will be issued in exchange for PBI Common Stock. Instead, each
holder thereof on the day next preceding the Effective Time shall be paid in
cash the value of the fractional share interest to which the holder thereof
would otherwise be entitled based upon the values established in Section 2.3.

         SECTION 2.5 Authorized Shares. At the Effective Time, there shall have
been no change in the number of authorized shares of TFIN or of PBI.


                                       7
<PAGE>   8


         SECTION 2.6 Stockholder Objections to Merger. All written stockholder
objections to the Merger shall be subject to and determined by the requirements
of Colorado law. TFIN, TAC and PBI agree that prior to the Effective Time
neither corporation will, without the express written consent of the other,
voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle any
such objection. Any stockholder of PBI who objects to the Merger and who becomes
entitled to any statutory right for payment for his/her shares of stock shall
receive payment from the Surviving Corporation (but only after the amount
thereof shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to said
statute) and after payment thereof, said shares shall be canceled.

         SECTION 2.7 Accounting Matters. The assets of TAC and PBI as of the
Effective Time shall be taken up on the books of the Surviving Corporation in
the amounts at which they shall be carried at that time on the books of the
respective corporations. The amount of capital of the Surviving Corporation
after the merger shall be equal to the sum of the aggregate amount of the par
value of the TFIN Common Stock to be issued in the Merger and of the aggregate
par value of the TFIN Common Stock that will remain issued upon the Merger. The
surplus of the Surviving Corporation after the Merger, including any surplus
arising in the Merger, shall be available to be used for any legal purposes for
which a surplus may be used. Differences in the accounting procedures of either
TAC or PBI corporations shall be reconciled as determined by the Surviving
Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE III
                            PROXIES FROM STOCKHOLDERS

         SECTION 3.1 Proxies. PBI acknowledges that the persons listed in
Schedule 3.1 have agreed that they will vote the shares owned by them in favor
of this Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to
required regulatory approvals, and that they will retain the right to vote such
shares during the term of this Merger Agreement and have given TFIN a proxy to
vote such shares in favor of the merger if they should fail to do so pursuant to
a Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

its businesses. Nor is there any decree, injunction or order of any court,
governmental department or agency outstanding against either corporation having

case or in aggregate materially adversely affects the corporation.

                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PBI

         PBI hereby represents and warrants to each of TFIN and TAC as follows:

         SECTION 5.1.  Organization and Good Standing.

                  a. PBI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado with the corporate
power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as it is now
being conducted and is duly registered as a bank holding under the Bank Holding
Act of 1956, as amended. The conduct of PBI's business and the ownership of its
properties do not require PBI to qualify as a foreign corporation in any
jurisdiction, except where the failure to be so qualified individually or in the
aggregate would not materially and adversely affect the business, operations,
properties or financial condition of PBI and its subsidiary.

                  b. PBI has one wholly-owned subsidiary: Colorado Springs
National Bank, Colorado Springs, Colorado, ("BANK") which is a national banking
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the United States of America, with the corporate power and authority to carry
on its business as it is now being conducted. BANK is duly qualified to do
business in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business requires such
qualification except where the failure to be so qualified individually or in the
aggregate would not materially and adversely affect the business, operations,
properties or financial condition of PBI and/or BANK.

         SECTION 5.2 Authority. PBI has all requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into this Merger Agreement, and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Merger
Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of PBI. This
Merger Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by PBI, and assuming due
execution and delivery by TFIN, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of
PBI, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to applicable
conservatorship, receivership, bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to
general principles of equity (including without limitation specific
performance), whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity. Attached
hereto as Exhibits 5.2A and 5.2B, respectively, are certified resolutions of the
Board of Directors and the stockholders of PBI.

approve the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to their fiduciary duties.
The approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of PBI

regulatory agencies and such filings and registrations as are required under
federal and state securities and Blue Sky laws, the execution, delivery and
performance of this Merger Agreement by PBI do not, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute (i) a breach or violation

order, governmental permit or license, or agreement, indenture or instrument of
PBI or BANK or to which PBI or BANK (or any of their respective properties) is
subject, (ii) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the articles of
incorporation, charter or bylaws of PBI or BANK or (iii) a breach or violation
of, or a default under (or an event which with due notice or lapse of time or
both would constitute a default under), or result in the termination of,
accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any lien,
pledge, security interest, charge or other encumbrance upon any of the
properties or assets of PBI or BANK under any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of any note, bond, indenture, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
agreement, instrument or obligation to which the PBI or BANK is a party, or to
which any of their respective properties or assets may be bound or affected.

         SECTION 5.5 Consents. Except for the approvals of the appropriate
regulatory agencies and such filings and registrations as are required under
federal and state securities and Blue Sky laws, no filing or registration with,

Ten Dollars ($10.00) par value per share ("BANK Stock"), of which One Hundred
Thousand (100,000) shares have been duly and validly issued, are fully paid,
and, are owned directly by PBI. Such shares are free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, equities or claims. There are no outstanding warrants, options,
subscriptions, contracts, rights or other arrangements or commitments obligating
PBI or BANK to issue or sell any additional shares of BANK's capital stock nor
are there outstanding any securities, debts, obligations or rights which are
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or any other equity
security of BANK.

         SECTION 5.7 Government Regulation. PBI and BANK hold all material
licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and rights from all appropriate
federal, state or other public authorities necessary for the lawful conduct of
their respective businesses and ownership of their respective properties. PBI
and BANK have substantially complied with all material federal, state and local
statutes, regulations, ordinances or rules applicable to the ownership of their
respective properties or the conduct of their respective businesses.

         SECTION 5.8 Financial Statements. PBI has previously delivered to TFIN
and TAC 1999 and 2000 year end audited financial statements for PBI and the last
four call reports for BANK (March 2001, December 2000, September 2000, June
2000). Such Financial Statements have been prepared (except for the absence of
notes thereto) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
practices which were applied on a consistent basis, and present fairly in all
material respects the financial position, results of operation and changes of
financial position of PBI or the BANK, as applicable, as of their respective
dates and for the periods indicated. PBI has no liabilities or obligations of a
type which would be included in a balance sheet prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles whether related to tax or non-tax
matters, accrued or contingent, due or not yet due, liquidated or unliquidated,
or otherwise, except as and to the extent disclosed or reflected in the balance
sheet of PBI as of December 31, 2000, or incurred since 2000 year end, in the
ordinary course of business. From April 2, 2001 until the date hereof, there has
been no material adverse change in the financial condition, properties, assets,
liabilities, rights or business of PBI or BANK, or in the relationship of PBI
and BANK with respect to its employees, creditors, suppliers, distributors,
customers or others with whom it has business relationships.

         SECTION 5.9 Legal Proceedings. Except as disclosed on Exhibit 5.9
attached hereto, there are as of the date hereof no actions, suits, claims,
demands or other proceedings or investigations, either judicial or
administrative, pending or, to the knowledge of PBI, threatened against or
affecting the properties, assets, rights or business of PBI or BANK or the right
to carry on or conduct their respective businesses, nor are there any grounds
therefor, which, if adversely determined, would in the aggregate adversely
affect the business, operations, properties or financial condition of PBI or
BANK, except as specifically disclosed and escrowed for herein. Except as
disclosed on


                                       14
<PAGE>   15


Exhibit 5.9 attached hereto, there are as of the date hereof no actions, suits,
claims, demands or other proceedings or investigations, either judicial or
administrative, pending or threatened which will or could prevent or interfere
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement.
PBI agrees to advise TFIN and TAC if at any time between the date hereof and the
Effective Time, any legal proceeding as described in this paragraph is initiated
or threatened.

         SECTION 5.10 Title to Assets. Except as disclosed on Exhibit 5.10A and
except for securities pledged to secure public funds deposits or subject to
customer repurchase agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business,
and leased property discussed below; PBI and BANK have good and marketable title
to and possession of all of their respective real and personal properties and
assets, in each case free and clear of any liens, restrictions, encumbrances,
rights, title and interests of others, except for other real estate owned and
except as reflected on their respective financial statements and except for the
lien of current taxes, covenants and restrictions of record, and other minor
imperfections of title not affecting marketability, which liens, covenants,
restrictions and imperfections do not materially affect the value of such
property and do not interfere with the use made of such property by PBI and
BANK. The real and personal properties and assets held under lease by PBI and
BANK are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such
exceptions as do not interfere with the use made of such properties and assets
by PBI and BANK. No consent is necessary under the terms of any such lease in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 5.10B is a list of leases to which PBI or BANK is a
party.

         SECTION 5.11 Undisclosed Liabilities. As of the date hereof, neither
PBI nor BANK have any debt, liability or obligation (whether accrued,
contingent, absolute or otherwise) of the nature which would customarily be
included in a corporate balance sheet or the notes thereto prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that is not reflected
or reserved against in the PBI Financial Statements or was not incurred in the
ordinary course of their business.

         SECTION 5.12 Reserves: PBI specifically represents and warrants to TAC
that the reserve for possible loan and lease losses shown in the Consolidated
Financial Statements of PBI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, BANK, is adequate
in all respects, under the requirements of generally accepted accounting
principles and regulatory requirements, to provide for possible losses, net of
recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, on loans outstanding and as
a percentage of loans shall be in an amount equal to the gross loans of BANK
multiplied by one percent (1%) of such loans outstanding at the Effective Time
less the amount of existing loan loss reserves of BANK. The resulting sum shall
be divided by two (2) and such resulting amount shall be added to the loan loss
reserve immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, and in lieu of
additional reserves, PBI and BANK represent and warrant that any technical
exceptions related to loans as identified in the listing provided by TFIN to
BANK and the list of credit concerns provided by TFIN to BANK under date of
April 10, 2001 will be corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of TFIN prior to
the Effective Time.

<PAGE>   16


         SECTION 5.13 Taxes. PBI and BANK have timely filed all tax returns
required to be filed by them, and the PBI and BANK have timely paid and
discharged all taxes due in connection with or with respect to the filing of
such tax returns and have timely paid all other taxes as are due, except such as
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to
which PBI is maintaining reserves adequate for their payment. The liability for
taxes set forth on each such tax return adequately reflects the taxes required
to be reflected on such tax return. Neither the IRS nor any other governmental
entity or taxing authority or agency is now asserting, either through audits,
administrative proceedings, court proceedings or otherwise, or threatening to
assert against PBI or BANK any deficiency or claim for additional taxes. Neither
PBI nor BANK has granted any waiver of any statute of limitations with respect
to, or any extension of a period for the assessment of, any tax. There are no
tax liens on any assets (excluding OREO properties) of PBI or BANK. Neither PBI
nor BANK has received a ruling or entered into an agreement with the Internal
Revenue Service or any other governmental entity or taxing authority or agency
that would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) on PBI or BANK,
taken as a whole, either before or after the Effective Time. For purposes of
this Merger Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" with respect to PBI or BANK
means an effect that: (1) is materially adverse to the business, financial
condition, results of operations or prospects of PBI or BANK taken as a whole;
(2) significantly and adversely affects the ability of the PBI or BANK to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement by the
Effective Time or to perform their material obligations under this Merger
Agreement; or (3) enables any persons to prevent the consummation by the
Effective Time of the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement. PBI
agrees to provide assistance in the preparation of income tax returns for PBI
and BANK from the commencement of the current fiscal year through the Effective
Time with such returns to be completed within ninety (90) days after the
Effective Time.

         SECTION 5.14 Contracts. Except as set forth on Exhibit 5.14 attached
hereto, neither PBI nor BANK is party to or bound by any:

                  a. Employment contract;

                  b. Bonus, deferred compensation, savings, profit sharing,
severance pay, pension or retirement plan or arrangement, except for the Plan(s)
referenced in Section 5.17 hereof;


                                       16
<PAGE>   17


                  c. Material lease or license with respect to any property,
real or personal, whether PBI or BANK is landlord or tenant, licensor or

                  d. Agreement, contract or indenture relating to the borrowing
of money by PBI or any subsidiary, excluding deposit obligations, obligations
under certificates of deposit, letters of credit, items in the process of
collection, commitments to loan or discount, endorsements made for collection
and guarantees made in the ordinary course of business;

                  e. Agreement with any present or former officer, director or
stockholder of PBI or BANK; or

                  f. Other contract, agreement or other commitment which is
material to the business, operations, property, prospects or assets or to the
condition, financial or otherwise, of PBI or BANK or which involve a payment by
PBI or BANK of more than $5,000 on an annual basis.

         SECTION 5.15 Regulatory Reports; Examinations. PBI and BANK have timely
filed all material reports, registrations and statements, together with any
amendments required to be made with respect thereto, with all governmental or
regulatory authorities, agencies, courts, commissions or other entity
("Governmental Entity") and have paid all fees and assessments due and payable
in connection therewith. Except for normal examinations conducted by a
Governmental Entity in the regular course of the business of PBI and BANK, no
Governmental Entity has initiated any proceeding or investigation into the
business or operations of PBI or BANK. There is no unresolved material
violation, criticism, or exception by any Governmental Entity with respect to
any written report or statement relating to any examinations of PBI or BANK.

         SECTION 5.16 Conduct. From April 2, 2001 until the date hereof:

                  a. There has been no material adverse change in the financial
condition of, or in the properties, assets, liabilities, rights or business,
taken as a whole, of PBI or BANK or in the relationship of PBI or BANK with
respect to their employees, creditors, suppliers, distributors, customers or
others with whom they have business relationships.

                  b. The business affairs of PBI and BANK have been conducted
and carried on only in their ordinary and regular course of business, and PBI
and BANK have not incurred or become subject to any liabilities or obligations
other than those incurred in their ordinary course of business, those incurred
pursuant to existing contracts included on Exhibit 5.14, and those incurred
pursuant to commitments permitted hereby.

                  c. Neither PBI nor BANK have entered into any employment
contract with any director, officer or salaried employee, paid any or made any
accrual or arrangement for payment of bonuses or special compensation of any
kind or any severance or


                                       17
<PAGE>   18


termination pay to any of their officers, employees or directors, increased the
rate of compensation, if any, or instituted or made any material increase in any
officer's, employee's or director's welfare, retirement or similar plan or
arrangement, other than merit increases made in accordance with past practices
and procedures. It is understood that PBI and BANK, in their sole discretion,
reserve the right, at their cost and expense, to make provision for an end of
year merit bonus or other such payment to employees of BANK.

         SECTION 5.17 Compliance with ERISA. Neither PBI nor BANK has
established, maintained or contributed at any time during the five-year period
ending as of the Effective Time to any employee benefit plan (as defined in
Sections 3(3) or 3(37) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA")) or any other plan with respect to which any governmental filings are
required, except for the Colorado Springs National Bank 401K Plan. The Plan is
sponsored by BANK . A true and accurate copy of the Plan, any related trust
agreements and each of the amendments thereto has been provided to TFIN and TAC
together with (i) all determination letters received in respect of any qualified
plans, and (ii) all required reports and supporting schedules filed with any
government agency in respect of the Plan for the three most recent years ending
on or before the date hereof. The Plan and each fiduciary (as defined in Section
3(21) of ERISA) of the Plan are in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable requirements (including nondiscrimination requirements in effect as
of the date hereof) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code"), including,
but not limited to, Sections 79, 105, 106, 125, 401, 501, and 4975 of the Code.
For purposes of this Section 4.16, noncompliance with the Code or ERISA is
material if such noncompliance could have a Material Adverse Effect on the
condition of the Plan or of PBI or BANK, either as of the Effective Time or upon
discovery of the noncompliance. All required contributions to the Plan through
the date hereof have been made. PBI and BANK (each with respect to the Plan), as
well as the Plan, have no material current or threatened liability of any kind
to any person, including but not limited to any government agency, as of the
date hereof, other than for the payment of benefits in the ordinary course.

         SECTION 5.18 Defaults. Neither PBI nor BANK is in material breach or
material default under any agreement or commitment to which PBI or BANK is a
party, or under any loan agreement, note, security agreement, guarantee or other
document pursuant to or in connection with PBI's or BANK's extension of credit;
and to PBI's knowledge, there has not occurred any event which, after the giving
of notice, the lapse time or otherwise, would constitute any such default under,
or result in any such breach of, any such agreement, commitment or extension of
credit.

         SECTION 5.19 Insurance. Complete and correct copies of all material
policies of fire, product or other liability, workers' compensation and other
similar forms of insurance owned or held by PBI and BANK are attached hereto as
Exhibit 5.19. Subject to expirations and renewals of insurance policies in the
ordinary course of business, all such policies are in full force and effect; all
premiums with respect thereto covering all periods up to and including the date
as of which this representation is being made have been paid


                                       18
<PAGE>   19


(other than retrospective premiums which may be payable with respect to worker's
compensation insurance policies); and no notice of cancellation or termination
has been received with respect to any such policy. Such policies are valid and
enforceable policies. The insurance policies to which PBI or BANK are parties
are sufficient for compliance with all material requirements of law and all
material agreements to which PBI or BANK are parties and will be maintained by
PBI and BANK until the Effective Time. Neither PBI nor BANK has been refused any
insurance with respect to any material assets or operations, nor has coverage
been limited in any respect material to their operations by any insurance
carrier to which they have applied for any such insurance or with which they
have carried insurance during the last five (5) years.

         SECTION 5.20 Absence of Adverse Agreements. Neither PBI nor BANK is a
party to any agreement or instrument or any judgment, order or decree or any
rule or regulation of any court or other governmental agency or authority which
adversely affects or is reasonably likely to result in a adverse effect on the
financial condition, results or operations, assets, business or prospects of PBI
or BANK, taken as a whole.

         SECTION 5.21 Internal Controls and Records. PBI and BANK maintain books
of account which accurately and validly reflect, in all material respects, all
loans, mortgages, collateral and other business transactions and maintain
accounting controls sufficient to ensure that all such transactions are (a) in
all material respects, executed in accordance with its management's general or
specific authorization, and (b) recorded in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

         SECTION 5.22 Loans.

                  a. BANK is not a party to any written or oral loan agreement,
note or borrowing arrangement which has been classified as "substandard",
"doubtful," "loss," "other loans especially mentioned" or any comparable
classifications by PBI or BANK or banking regulators, except as reflected on a
list attached hereto and marked Exhibit 5.22 A.

                  b. Except as set forth on Exhibit 5.22b attached hereto,
neither PBI nor BANK is a party to any written or oral loan agreement, note, or
borrowing arrangement, including any loan guaranty, with any director or
executive officer of PBI or BANK, or any person, corporation or enterprise
controlling, controlled by or under common control with any of the foregoing;

                  c. Neither PBI nor BANK is a party to any written or oral loan
agreement, note or borrowing arrangement in violation of any law, regulation or

<PAGE>   20


         SECTION 5.23 Environmental Laws.

                  a. The operations of PBI and BANK comply in all respects with
all applicable past and present federal, state and local environmental statutes
and regulations and neither the condition of any property owned by PBI or BANK
nor the operation of the business of any of such entities violates in any
respect any applicable federal, state or local environmental statute or
regulation.

                  b. None of the operations of PBI or BANK is subject to any
judicial or administrative proceeding alleging the violation of any federal,
state or local environmental health or safety statute or regulation nor is it
the subject of any claim alleging damages to health or property pursuant to
which PBI or BANK may be liable.

                  c. None of the operations of nor any of the properties owned
by PBI or BANK is the subject of any federal, state or local investigation in
evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release or
threatened release of any hazardous waste or substance from whatever source.

                  d. No condition or event has occurred which, with notice or
the passage of time or both, would constitute a violation of any federal, state
or local environmental law and at no time has PBI or BANK stored or used any
pollutants, contaminants or hazardous or toxic waste, substances or materials on
or at any location owned by PBI or BANK.

                  e. There are no underground storage tanks now or heretofore
located on any real property owned by PBI or BANK.

                  f. Neither PBI nor BANK has ever been notified by either a
federal, state or local governmental authority, or any private party, that PBI
or BANK is a potentially responsible party for remedial costs spent addressing
the release, or threat of a release, of a hazardous substance and to the
environment pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
or Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601, et seq. or any corresponding state law. TFIN
or TAC may obtain at its option and expense on or prior to 120 days following
the date hereof an environmental audit of all properties and assets of PBI and
BANK whether directly owned or classified as other real estate owned. Such
environmental audit shall constitute a part of the due diligence process, should
TFIN or TAC choose to pursue it, and if TFIN or TAC determines in its sole
discretion that such environmental audit reflects the potential of a material
environmental problem with respect to any of the properties or assets of PBI or
BANK, then TFIN or TAC may deem the due diligence unsatisfactory and terminate
this Agreement under the terms of Section 6.1 hereinafter.

         SECTION 5.24 Labor Matters

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 9.1 Covenants. PBI shall not, without the express written
consent of TAC, permit BANK to:

                  a. Incur any indebtedness for borrowed money (except for
federal funds, repurchase agreements entered into in the ordinary and usual
course of business, deposits received by the BANK and endorsement, for
collection or deposit, of negotiable instruments received in the ordinary and
usual course of business, and issuance of letters of credit by the BANK in the
ordinary course of business), assume, guarantee, endorse or otherwise as an
accommodation become liable or responsible for obligations of any other
individual, firm or corporation in excess of zero dollars ($0.00).

                  b. Make, grant or incur any obligation or liability to make or
grant a loan to any person or entity in excess of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($100,000). In the event that PBI or BANK should request the issuance of a loan
in excess of the stated amounts, PBI or BANK shall provide Robert J. Weatherbie
or his designee the information it would customarily prepare for determination
of whether a loan should be approved and Robert J. Weatherbie or his designee
shall provide a written response either approving or rejecting the issuance of
such loan within five (5) business days of receipt of such request. Any
rejection of a loan by Robert J. Weatherbie or his designee shall be done
utilizing a standard of commercial reasonableness. If any such loan is rejected,
the reasons therefore shall be stated in writing and provided to BANK.

                  c. Except for transactions in the ordinary and usual course of
business, sell or transfer any of its properties or assets or cancel, release or
assign any indebtedness owed to it or any claims held by it.

                  d. Make any purchase or commitment/obligation to purchase any
fixed asset in excess of TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000) or enter into any

conditions upon which it conducts business.

                  f. Materially alter or change the business or business

<PAGE>   26


                  g. Declare or pay any dividend. Provided, however, PBI may
declare dividend(s) prior to the Effective Time for the purpose of adjusting PBI
capital consistent with the formula for calculating the consideration as
provided for herein. Provided, further, PBI may pay any sums required for
estimated tax payments in connection with the dividend(s) paid to stockholders
described in this paragraph.

                  h. Issue any new shares of stock.

                  i. Purchase or acquire any additional brokered deposits or

         SECTION 9.2 Cash Payment by TAC: At the time of signing this Merger
Agreement, TAC shall pay the sum of Fifty Thousand DOLLARS ($50,000) to PBI in
immediately available funds as and for a down payment, to be held in a interest
bearing escrow by BANK until the closing/Effective Time when said sum plus
accrued interest shall be applied to the distribution to stockholders provided
by this Merger Agreement. In the event of termination by mutual agreement,
failure to obtain regulatory approval, failure to obtain financing for the cash
portion of the purchase price, or for any cause attributable to the actions of
PBI or BANK said sum shall be returned to TFIN. In the event of termination for
any other cause, said sum shall be retained by PBI. If said sum is retained by
PBI the down payment retained by PBI shall constitute liquidated damages, in
lieu of all other damages of any nature whatsoever. The parties acknowledge and
agree that PBI's damages due to such a default are difficult to ascertain and
agree that the amount of the down payment represents a reasonable estimate of
PBI's damages for termination.

         SECTION 9.3 Inspection and Due Diligence. Between the date hereof and
the Effective Time and upon reasonable notice, TFIN and its authorized
representatives shall be permitted full access during regular business hours to
all properties, books, records, contracts and documents of PBI and BANK. Between
the date hereof and the Effective Time PBI and BANK agree to give TFIN
reasonable notice of any regular or special meeting of the board of directors of
PBI and BANK and further agree that Robert J. Weatherbie and/or Michael L.
Gibson may attend any such meeting as observers. From the date of this Merger
Agreement until the Effective Time, PBI will furnish to TFIN, within ten days of
their preparation, without separate request by TFIN, to the attention of Michael
L. Gibson, the following:

   BANK month end balance sheet; BANK month end profit and loss statement and a
copy of all monthly reports presented to BANK's board of directors.

In addition to the items supplied by PBI pursuant to the previous sentence, PBI
shall furnish to TFIN and its authorized representatives all information with
respect to the affairs of PBI and BANK as may be reasonably requested. PBI shall
provide such information and answer such inquiries as TFIN may reasonably
request or make concerning the subject matter of the representations and
warranties of PBI made herein. Immediately

second due diligence examination of the assets of PBI and BANK for the period

         SECTION 9.4 Regulatory Approval. By June 30, 2001, TAC shall, at its
expense, file an appropriate application with all applicable state and federal
regulatory agencies and bodies to obtain applications and notices necessary to
obtain all required approvals or consents to consummate the transactions
contemplated herein. TAC shall use its best efforts to obtain all required
approvals, consents and failures to disapprove as promptly thereafter as
possible, and shall keep PBI fully apprised as to the progress of such efforts
and provide PBI copies of all filings, applications and notices, together with
all other significant documents and correspondence exchanged between TAC (or its
accountants or other representatives) and any such agencies and bodies with
respect thereto. Copies of all such materials prepared and filed with any
regulatory agency and bodies by or for TAC shall be furnished to Thomas G.
Martin, attorney for PBI. In the event additional information or documentation
is requested by any regulatory agency or body, TAC shall comply with such
request as promptly as possible; in the event any such information or
documentation is in the possession or knowledge of PBI or BANK, TAC shall
immediately inform PBI, and PBI shall use its best efforts to make such
documentation or information promptly available to TAC or TAC's designated
representative.

         SECTION 9.5 Confidential Information. Subject only to required legal or
regulatory disclosure, prior to the Effective Time, all information disclosed
to, obtained by or otherwise coming into the possession of the parties hereto
shall be maintained in strict confidence in accordance with the terms of that
certain Confidentiality Agreement dated January 31, 2001 and paragraphs (f), (g)
of the Letter of Interest between the parties and the Addendum executed by TFIN
and Geoffrey B. Postles on behalf of PBI and the stockholders dated, March 2,
2001. The terms of these documents related to confidentiality are specifically
ratified by TFIN and PBI and incorporated into this Merger Agreement as if fully
set forth at length herein.

         SECTION 9.6 Headings. Headings contained in this Merger Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of the Merger
Agreement.

         SECTION 9.7 Governing Law. This Merger Agreement embodies the entire
agreement between the parties. There have been no agreements, representations or
warranties between the parties hereto other than those set forth and provided
herein. This transaction and the Merger Agreement shall be construed,

              AMENDMENT TO ACQUISITION AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

         This Amendment to Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger
("Amendment") dated 25th day of July, 2001 is entered into by and among Post
Bancorp, Inc. ("PBI"), Team Financial, Inc. ("TFIN") and Team Financial
Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc. ( "TAC").

         WHEREAS, PBI, TFIN and TAC entered into an Acquisition Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated as of April 30, 2001 (the "Merger Agreement") which was
approved by PBI stockholders on or about June 21, 2001; and

         WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Merger Agreement;

         WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of TFIN, TAC and PBI have determined
that it is advisable that PBI be the surviving corporation of the merger
contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the change requiring PBI to be the
surviving corporation, a new corporation; to wit: Team Financial Acquisition
Subsidiary II, Inc. ("TAC II") shall be created by TFIN who shall be the sole
stockholder of TAC II and TAC II shall be merged into PBI resulting in TFIN
being the sole stockholder of both TAC and PBI following the merger; and

         WHEREAS, the proposed Amendment is being made by the respective boards
of directors and officers prior to the Effective Time of the Merger Agreement
and subsequent to the approval of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of
the party corporations; and

         WHEREAS, the proposed Amendment does not: (a) alter or change the
method of calculation of cash or stock which is to be transferred or paid to PBI
stockholders hereunder; (b) alter or change any term of the articles of
incorporation of PBI; (c) alter or change any of the terms and conditions of the
Merger Agreement in any manner which will adversely affect the holders of any
class of stock or series thereof of any corporation.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein and in the Merger Agreement and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree to amend the Merger Agreement as follows:

         1. A Kansas corporation, to wit: Team Financial Acquisition Subsidiary
II, Inc. ("TAC II") shall be formed by TFIN who shall be the sole stockholder
thereof. TAC II shall be made a party to the Merger Agreement and substituted
for TAC as appropriate. TAC shall not be the surviving corporation of the Merger
Agreement. PBI shall be the surviving corporation of the merger between PBI and
TAC II. Immediately, following the


                                        1
<PAGE>   35
merger of TAC II into PBI, TFIN shall be the sole stockholder of PBI; TAC II
shall cease to exist.

         2. Consistent with the revisions provided for in paragraph 1 above,
"SECTION 1.1 of Article I THE MERGER PLAN in the Merger Agreement" shall be
deleted in its entirety and the following shall be substituted therefore:

                                   "ARTICLE I
                                 THE MERGER PLAN

         SECTION 1.1 Plan of Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Merger Agreement, including the requisite governmental and stockholder
approvals; at the Effective Time as defined in Section 1.2, the acquisition of
TAC II by PBI will be carried out in the following manner:

              a. TFIN, TAC, TAC II and PBI will each cooperate in the
preparation of such applications, statements or materials as may be required to
be furnished to the stockholders of PBI or filed or submitted to appropriate
governmental agencies in connection with the merger and with the solicitation of
the approval by the stockholders of PBI in respect thereof. TFIN shall create
and capitalize TAC II prior to the Effective Time as defined in Section 1.2 or
as otherwise required. TFIN, having created TAC II and as the sole stockholder
of TAC II, agrees to vote all of its shares of capital stock of TAC II in favor
of the Merger Agreement, and by execution of the amendments provided for herein
does hereby approve the Merger Agreement for and on behalf of TAC II. TFIN,
likewise, agrees to vote all of its shares of capital stock of TAC in favor of
the Merger Agreement as amended hereby.

              b. At the Effective Time as defined in Section 1.2, TAC II shall
merge with and into PBI. As a result of the merger at the Effective Time, the
outstanding shares of the capital stock of TAC II shall be surrendered and
canceled as provided herein and the separate existence of TAC II shall cease.
PBI shall continue as the surviving corporation and TFIN shall be the sole
stockholder of PBI which shall continue to be governed by the Laws of the State
of Colorado. (PBI, in its capacity as the corporation surviving the merger
between TAC II and PBI, is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving
Corporation") After the merger of TAC II into PBI, PBI will continue to own
one-hundred percent (100%) of the assets of PBI, including one- hundred percent
(100%) of the outstanding capital stock of BANK. As a result of the merger of
TAC II into PBI, current stockholders of PBI shall be entitled to receive cash
or TFIN common stock or a combination thereof as provided for herein and TFIN
shall be the sole remaining stockholder of PBI. As a result of the merger,
stockholders of PBI shall be entitled to receive cash or TFIN common stock or a
combination thereof as provided for herein from TAC II."

         2. "SECTIONS 1.3 and 1.4 of Article I THE MERGER PLAN in the Merger
Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be
substituted therefore:


                                        2
<PAGE>   36

         "SECTION 1.3 Surviving Corporation, Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws. At the Effective Time, TAC II shall cease to exist and PBI will be the
Surviving Corporation. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of PBI in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue in full force and effect
unless otherwise amended or repealed."

         "SECTION 1.4 Filing of Certificate of Merger. The merger of TAC II into
PBI shall be documented by the filing of appropriate Certificates of Merger at
Two West Peoria, Paola, Kansas 66071; by filing said Certificates with the
Secretary of State of Kansas pursuant to K.S.A. 17-6701(c) and Secretary of
State of Colorado by the filings required by the laws of the State of Colorado
to document said merger of TAC II into PBI."

         3. SECTIONS 1.5 , 1.6 and 1.7 of Article I THE MERGER PLAN in the
Merger Agreement" shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be
substituted therefore:

         "SECTION 1.5 Officers and Directors. The directors and officers of PBI
and TAC II in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with such
additional persons as may thereafter be elected, shall serve as the directors
and officers of the surviving corporation from and after the Effective Time in
accordance with the Bylaws of the surviving corporation then existing or as
amended and restated as of the Effective Time and said directors and officers
shall continue to serve as the directors and officers of the surviving
corporation until the next annual meeting or until such time as their successors
have been elected and have qualified.

         SECTION 1.6 Effect of Merger. At the Effective Time of the Merger of
PBI and TAC II, the surviving corporation (PBI) shall succeed to, without other
transfer, and shall possess and enjoy, all the rights, privileges, immunities,
powers and franchises, both of a public and a private nature, and be subject to
all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of TAC II and PBI. All property,
real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to either TAC II or PBI on whatever
account, for stock as well as for all other things in action or belonging to TAC
II and PBI, shall be vested in the surviving corporation, and all and every
other interest shall be thereafter as effectually the property of the surviving
corporation, as they were of TAC II and PBI, and the title to any real estate
vested by deed or otherwise in either TAC II or PBI shall not revert or be in
any way impaired by reason of the merger; provided, however, that all rights of
creditors and all liens upon any property of either TAC II or PBI shall be
preserved unimpaired, limited in lien to the property affected by such liens at
the Effective Time of the merger, and all debts, liabilities and duties of said
TAC II and PBI, respectively shall thenceforth attach to the surviving
corporation and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts,
liabilities and duties has been incurred or contracted by the surviving
corporation. Any existing claim, action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal
or administrative by or against either TAC II or PBI may be prosecuted to
judgment or decree as if this merger had not taken place.

         SECTION 1.7 Further Assurances. If at any time after the Effective
Time, the surviving corporation shall consider it advisable that any further
conveyances, agreements, documents, instruments or assurances of law or any
other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect, confirm, or
record in the surviving corporation the title to any property or rights,
privileges, powers, or franchises of TAC II, PBI or BANK, the former Board of
Directors and officers of TAC II, shall and will be authorized to, execute and
deliver in the name on behalf of TAC II or otherwise, any and all proper
conveyances, agreements, documents, instruments, and assurances of law and do
all things necessary or proper to vest, perfect, or confirm title to such
property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises in the surviving
corporation, and otherwise to carry out the provisions of the Merger and any
amendments to the Merger Agreement."

         4. All references in ARTICLES IV, V AND Vl to "TAC" shall be amended to
read "TAC II". The cash payment of Fifty Thousand Dollars and no/cents
($50,000.00) made by TAC pursuant to ARTICLE IX, SECTION 9.2 of the Merger
Agreement shall be treated as if the payment had been made by TAC II in the
distribution to PBI stockholders at the Effective Time. In conjunction with the
parties' obligations under ARTICLE IX, SECTION 9.4; TFIN, TAC and TAC II shall
make any revisions to any application filed in conjunction with the Merger
Agreement in a timely manner but no later than July 30, 2001.

         5. Except as herein provided, the terms of the Merger Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.

         6. This Amendment is being made pursuant to the authority provided in
ARTICLE X, SECTION 10.1 of the Merger Agreement and may be executed in several
counterparts, and by the parties on separate counterparts, and all such
counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall constitute but one and the
same agreement.
