(a) The Company shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, and shall cause any officer, director or employee of, or any investment banker, attorney, accountant or other advisor or representative (collectively, “Representatives”) of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of, any Acquisition Proposal, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any AcquisitionAgreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, <omitted> Notwithstanding the foregoing, and only at a time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company may (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change under clause (A) of the definition thereof in response to an Intervening Event, (y) make an Adverse Recommendation Change under clause (A) of the definition thereof in response to a Superior Proposal or (z) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) in response to a Superior Proposal in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for such Superior Proposal, but in each case only if: (1) the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal that did not result, directly or indirectly, from a breach of Section 5.02 (in the case of the preceding clause (y) or clause (z)), or an Intervening Event has occurred (in the case of the preceding clause (x)); (2) in light of such Superior Proposal (in the case of the preceding clause (y) or clause (z)) or such Intervening Event (in the case of the preceding clause (x)), as the case may be, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change under clause (A) of the definition thereof (in the case of the preceding clause (y)) or to terminate this Agreement (in the case of the preceding clause (z)) or to make an Adverse Recommendation Change under clause (A) of the definition thereof (in the case of the preceding clause (x)) would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under Delaware Law (any such determination, a “Withdrawal Determination”); (3) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it has made a Withdrawal Determination (any such notice, a “Triggering Notice”) and provided Parent unredacted copies of the documents and/or agreements providing for the Superior Proposal (including any other documents or agreements referred to in or to be entered into in connection with the Superior Proposal) or described the Intervening Event in writing in reasonable detail, as the case may be; (4) during the five (5) business days commencing on the date of receipt by Parent of the Triggering Notice (such time period, the “Notice Period”), if requested by Parent, the Company shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent to permit Parent to make a proposal to amend the terms of the Transactions or the Transaction Agreements; (5) at the end of the Notice Period, and taking into account any irrevocable written proposals (including any proposal to amend the terms of the Transactions or the Transaction Agreements) made by Parent since receipt of the Triggering Notice (a “Parent Proposal”), such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and the Company Board has again made a Withdrawal Determination in response to such Superior Proposal or such Intervening Event is continuing and the Company Board has again made a Withdrawal Determination in response to such Intervening Event (it being understood and agreed that if, in light of any Parent Proposal, the Company Board is no longer able to make a Withdrawal Determination with respect to such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, then the Company shall immediately enter into amendments to the Transaction Agreements with Parent and Sub that embodies the terms of such Parent Proposal); (6) the Company is in compliance in all material respects with Section 5.02 and Parent is not at such time entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.01(d)(ii); and (7) the Company (i) has paid prior to or concurrently pays the Termination Fee to Parent pursuant to Section 8.02 and immediately after such termination enters into a definitive agreement providing for such Superior Proposal, in the case of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the preceding clause (z) or (ii) has set aside for immediate payment, the funds for the fee due under Section 8.02 in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to the preceding clause (x) or (y). The Company acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification to the financial terms or other material terms of an Acquisition Proposal that is determined to be a Superior Proposal, and any material change to the Intervening Event, shall require a new Triggering Notice and a new Notice Period (except that the five (5) business day notice period referred to in the Notice Period shall instead be equal to the longer of (I) three (3) business days and (II) the period remaining under the Notice Period immediately prior to the delivery of such additional notice under this sentence).

4.1.9 Acquisition Proposal. AB and the Bank will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. AB agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries will, and AB will direct and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) not to initiate, solicit, encourage or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer(including, without limitation, any proposal or offer to shareholders of AB) with respect to an Acquisition Event (any such proposal or offer, an “Acquisition Proposal”) or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal; except that, in the event AB receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal and the board of directors of AB determines prior to approval of this Agreement and the Merger by AB’s shareholders at the AB Meeting, in good faith and after consultation with independent legal counsel, that (a) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably expected to result in a Superior Proposal, and (b) fiduciary duties applicable to it require it to engage in negotiations with, provide confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with a Person in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, AB may do so to the extent the board of directors of AB determines it is required by its fiduciary duties. In such event, prior to providing any confidential information or data to any such Person, AB and such Person shall have executed a confidentiality agreement on terms at least as favorable to AB as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement. AB will further notify GBCI in writing promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) if any such inquiries or proposals are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with AB, or if any such inquiry, proposal or request is thereafter materially modified or amended, including providing to GBCI the material terms and conditions of any such proposal or inquiry in connection with each required notice, together with a copy of any written proposals received (it being understood that the name of Person making the Acquisition Proposal may be redacted from the copy of the written proposal provided to GBCI). AB will take the necessary steps to inform the appropriate individuals or entities referred to in the second sentence of this Section 4.1.9 of the obligations to be undertaken in this Section 4.1.9. Nothing contained in this Section 4.1.9 shall prohibit AB or the board of directors of AB from complying with AB’s obligations required under Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure relating to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f)under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed a change in the board of directors of AB’s recommendation that AB’s shareholders approve this Agreement and the Merger unless the board of directors of AB reaffirms such recommendation in such disclosure. <omitted> 4.3.2 Submission to Shareholders. AB will promptly take the actions necessary in accordance with applicable Law and its articles of incorporation and bylaws to convene a shareholders’ meeting to consider the approval of this Agreement and to authorize the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “AB Meeting”). The AB Meeting will be held on the earliest practical date after the date the Prospectus/Proxy Statement may first be sent to AB’s shareholders without objection by applicable Governmental Authorities. The board of directors of AB has adopted a resolution recommending approval of this Agreement and the Merger by AB’s shareholders, and it shall not withdraw, modify, or qualify its recommendation unless, subsequent to the Execution Date, AB receives a Superior Proposal and the board of directors of AB determines, in good faith and upon the written advice of independent legal counsel, that it would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law not to withdraw, modify, or qualify such recommendation. AB shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the shareholders of AB approval of this Agreement in accordance with Utah Law, including (except as provided in the preceding sentence) by communicating to its shareholders its recommendation(and including such recommendation in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement) that they approve this Agreement and the Merger. Subject to applicable Law, AB shall adjourn or postpone the AB Meeting if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of AB Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if, on the date of such AB Meeting, (a) AB has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the required approval by AB’s shareholders and such approval remains possible to obtain and (b) the shareholders of AB have authorized by the requisite vote under Utah Law the adjournment pursuant to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement; provided that AB shall only be required to adjourn the AB Meeting two times pursuant to this Section 4.3.2. <omitted> 7.4.6 Superior Proposal—Termination by AB. By the board of directors of AB upon written notice to GBCI if AB’s board of directors has in good faith determined that an Acquisition Proposal received by AB constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that AB may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.4.6 unless (a) it has not materially breached Section 4.1.9 or Section 4.3.2, (b) promptly following the delivery of such notice of termination, it enters into a definitive acquisition agreement relating to such Superior Proposal, (c) it has provided GBCI at least 10 days’ prior written notice advising GBCI that the board of directors of AB is prepared to accept a Superior Proposal (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”) and has given GBCI, if it so elects, an opportunity to amend the terms of this Agreement during the Superior Proposal Notice Period (and negotiated with GBCI in good faith with respect to such terms during the Superior Proposal Notice Period) in such a manner as would enable AB’s board of directors to proceed with the Merger without violating their fiduciary duties, and (d) simultaneously upon entering into such definitive acquisition agreement relating to such Superior Proposal referred to in clause (b), it delivers to GBCI the Break-Up Fee.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification to the financial terms or other material terms of an Acquisition Proposal that is determined to be a Superior Proposal, and any material change to the Intervening Event, shall require a new Triggering Notice and a new Notice Period (except that the five (5) business day notice period referred to in the Notice Period shall instead be equal to the longer of (I) three (3) business days and (II) the period remaining under the Notice Period immediately prior to the delivery of such additional notice under this sentence).
