AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), made as of this 3^rd day of May, 2012, is by and among WashingtonFirst Bankshares, Inc. (“WFBI”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Alliance Bankshares Corporation (“Alliance”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia; and Alliance Bank Corporation, a Virginia chartered commercial bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliance (“Alliance Bank”).

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of WFBI and Alliance deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders that WFBI acquire Alliance through the merger of Alliance with and into WFBI, on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of WFBI and Alliance have each approved the merger of Alliance with and into WFBI (the “Merger”), upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, hereinafter set forth, including the Plan of Merger in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Plan of Merger”); and

WHEREAS, as promptly as practicable after the Merger, Alliance Bank shall be merged with and into Washington First Bank, a Virginia chartered commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of WFBI (“WF Bank”) pursuant to a plan of merger substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Bank Merger Agreement”), with WF Bank being the surviving bank (“Bank Merger”); and

WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger and the Bank Merger each will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), and that this Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement each constitute, and is adopted as, a plan of reorganization for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE MERGER

1.1 Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions hereafter set forth, Alliance shall be merged with and into WFBI with WFBI being the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), in accordance with this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the applicable provisions of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”).

-1-

1.2 Name. The name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “WashingtonFirst Bankshares, Inc.”

1.3 Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws. (a) The Articles of Incorporation of WFBI in effect at the Effective Time (defined in Section 1.6(b)) shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) The Bylaws of WFBI in effect at the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Board of Directors; Officers. From and after the Effective Time, the directors of WFBI immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Alliance Nominees (as defined in Section 6.16) shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly appointed or elected. From and after the Effective Time, the officers of WFBI immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly appointed or elected.

1.5 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Alliance shall cease and all of the properties, rights, powers, privileges, franchises, patents, trademarks, licenses, registrations, and other assets of every kind and description of Alliance shall be vested in, and all debts, liabilities, and obligations of Alliance shall be the obligation of, WFBI as the Surviving Corporation, all without further act or deed, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the VSCA.

1.6 Closing; Effective Time. (a) The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall occur at the principal offices of WFBI, or at such other place designated by the parties in writing, at a time and on a date specified in writing by the parties, which date shall be on the earliest practicable business day, but not more than 30 days, after the receipt of all requisite approvals and authorizations of regulatory and governmental authorities, the expiration of all applicable waiting periods and the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions hereto. The date at which the Closing occurs is occasionally referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

(b) The Merger shall become effective at the latest of (i) the issuance by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (the “SCC”) of a certificate of merger relating to the Merger; and (iii) the time set forth in articles of merger relating to the Merger filed with the SCC in the form attached as Exhibit C (the “Effective Time”). Except as otherwise agreed in writing, the Effective Time shall be on the Closing Date.

1.7 Bank Merger. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, Alliance Bank shall be merged with and into WF Bank, with WF Bank surviving, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Bank Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, WFBI reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to effect an alternate transaction between Alliance Bank and WF Bank, and Alliance and Alliance Bank agree to execute or cause to be executed such agreements and other documents necessary for WFBI to effect such other transaction as it may determine, in its sole discretion, involving WF Bank and Alliance Bank; provided, however, that WFBI agrees not to make any changes with respect to any transaction

between WF Bank and Alliance Bank that will (i) vary the form or amount of consideration paid to Alliance shareholders pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof or the treatment of Alliance Options pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, or (ii) adversely affect the treatment of the Merger or alternate transaction, taken together, as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

1.8 Alternative Acquisition Structure. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, WFBI shall be permitted, in its sole and absolute discretion, to restructure the method by which WFBI accomplishes the acquisition of Alliance as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that WFBI agrees not to make any changes with respect to the acquisition of Alliance that will: (i) vary the form or amount of consideration paid to Alliance shareholders pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof or the treatment of Alliance Options pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, (ii) require Alliance to resolicit shareholder approval of the Merger, or (iii) adversely affect the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Alliance and Alliance Bank agree to execute or cause to be executed any amendments, agreements or further documentation reasonably required to effect such alternate structure.

ARTICLE II.

CONSIDERATION AND CONVERSION OF SHARES

2.1 Conversion of Shares. Subject to this Article II, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of WFBI, Alliance or the holder of any of the shares thereof:

(a) All shares of common stock, $4.00 par value per share, of Alliance (“Alliance Common Stock”), owned directly or indirectly by WFBI or any of WFBI’s or Alliance’s respective wholly owned subsidiaries (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like or shares held in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall be cancelled and retired and shall not represent capital stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be exchanged for the Merger Consideration (as defined below). Shares of Alliance Common Stock that are canceled and retired pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) are hereinafter referred to as the “Excluded Shares”; and

(b) Each share of Alliance Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become the right to receive the following consideration:

(i) Each share of Alliance Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been properly made and not lost pursuant to Section 2.3(c) (each a “Cash Electing Alliance Share”) shall (subject to Section 2.4)) be converted into the right to receive $5.30 in cash without interest, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i)(x) (such per share amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Cash Consideration”).

(ii) Each share of Alliance Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive stock consideration (a “Stock Election”)

has been properly made and not lost pursuant to Section 2.3(c) (each a “Stock Electing Alliance Share”) shall (subject to Section 2.1(d)) be converted into the right to receive 0.4435, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i)(y) (the “Conversion Ratio”), validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of WFBI (the “WFBI Common Stock”), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1(e) (such per share amount, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of WFBI Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(d), is hereinafter referred to as the “Stock Consideration”).

(iii) Each share of Alliance Common Stock that is not (x) an Excluded Share or (y) a share of Alliance Common Stock with respect to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been properly made and not lost pursuant to Section 2.3(c) (each, a “Non-Electing Alliance Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive Stock Consideration.

Effective as of the Effective Time, each share of Alliance Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Alliance Common Stock (each a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.3. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Merger Consideration” with respect to a given share of Alliance Common Stock shall mean either the Cash Consideration (with respect to a share of Alliance Common Stock representing the right to receive the Cash Consideration) or the Stock Consideration (with respect to a share of Alliance Common Stock representing the right to receive the Stock Consideration).

(c) (i) In the event that the amount of Alliance’s shareholders’ equity at the month-end prior to the Effective Time has declined by more than ten percent (10%) from the amount of Alliance’s shareholders’ equity reported in the Alliance Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2011 (the “Base Amount”), the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:

(x) The Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the per share amount of the decline in Alliance’s shareholders’ equity that exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Base Amount, provided, however, that in no event shall the Cash Consideration be reduced by more than a per share amount of ten percent (10%) of the Base Amount; and

(y) The Stock Consideration shall be reduced by adjusting the Conversion Ratio to equal the per share amount of the Cash Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i)(x) above, divided by $11.95.

(ii) When calculating the percentage decline in Alliance’s shareholders’ equity pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), the following items shall be excluded from such calculation: (i) any change (positive or negative) attributable to changes in the deferred tax asset account or related valuation allowance, the FHLB advance account, the accumulated other comprehensive income account, (ii) effects (positive or negative) from changes, after the date hereof, in generally accepted accounting principles or regulatory principles generally applicable to banks but only to the extent the effect on Alliance and Alliance Bank, taken as a whole, is not materially worse than the effect on similarly situated banks and their holding companies, (iii) expenses (such as customary legal, accounting and investment advisor fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement and/or (iv) effects (positive or negative) from actions and omissions of Alliance and Alliance Bank taken at the request of, or with the prior written consent of, WFBI in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) No fractional shares of WFBI Common Stock shall be issued in respect of shares of Alliance Common Stock that are to be converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of WFBI Common Stock. Each holder of a Certificate (other than holders of Certificates representing Excluded Shares) shall be entitled to receive in lieu of any fractional share of WFBI Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled pursuant to Sections 2.1(b) and 2.3 an amount in cash (without interest), rounded to the nearest whole cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards), equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the fractional share of WFBI Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of Alliance Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time and the provisions of Section 2.3) by (ii) $11.95.

(e) If, on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, WFBI splits, combines into a smaller number of shares, or issues by reclassification any shares of WFBI Common Stock, then the Stock Consideration and any dependent items shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Alliance Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action, and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Stock Consideration or other dependent item, as applicable, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this sentence.

2.2 Treatment of Alliance Options. At the Effective Time, each option (the “Alliance Options”), whether or not vested or exercisable, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Alliance 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated (the “Alliance 1999 Plan”), and the Alliance 2007 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Alliance 2007 Plan” and together with the Alliance 1999 Plan, the “Alliance Stock Plans”) will by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of an Alliance Option be cancelled as of the Effective Time solely in exchange for the right to receive as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash (less any applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Alliance Common Stock subject to such Alliance Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the difference, if positive, between (A) the Cash Consideration and (B) the exercise price per share of Alliance Common Stock subject to such Alliance Option. Prior to the Effective Time, Alliance shall take any and all actions under the Alliance Stock Plans necessary to effectuate this Section 2.2.

2.3 Exchange Procedures. (a) WFBI shall appoint its transfer agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., or, with the written consent of Alliance, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, another agent independent of and unaffiliated with WFBI or Alliance (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of exchanging Certificates for the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, WFBI shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Alliance Common Stock and for exchange in accordance with this Article II, or shall duly authorize and direct issuance by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section of (i) certificates representing the shares of WFBI Common Stock that constitute the Stock Consideration and (ii) an amount of cash necessary to pay the Cash Consideration.

(b) WFBI shall prepare and file as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) a form of election, and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials, in such form and containing such provisions as WFBI and Alliance shall mutually agree (collectively, the “Form of Election”). The Form of Election shall permit each person who, at or prior to the Election Deadline (as defined below), is a record holder (or, in the case of nominee record holders, the beneficial owner, through proper instructions and documentation) of any share of Alliance Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) to specify whether such holder’s shares of Alliance Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration. The Form of Election shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the completed Form of Election and any Certificates to the Exchange Agent. Alliance shall mail the Form of Election to all Persons who are record holders of shares of Alliance Common Stock as of the record date for the Alliance Shareholder Meeting (as defined in Section 5.3) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Form of Election available to all Persons who become holders of shares of Alliance Common Stock during the period between the record date for the Alliance Shareholder Meeting and the Election Deadline. As used in this Agreement, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date that is two (2) business days immediately preceding the Closing Date (or on such other date as the parties hereto mutually agree).

(c) Any such election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have received at its designated office, by the Election Deadline, a Form of Election properly completed and signed and accompanied by Certificates representing the shares of Alliance Common Stock to which such Form of Election relates (or by an appropriate guarantee of delivery of such Certificates as set forth in such Form of Election from a firm that is an “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act); provided, that such Certificates are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time set forth in such guarantee of delivery). Any share of Alliance Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) with respect to which a proper Cash Election or Stock Election has not been made as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Non-Electing Alliance Share. All Cash Elections and Stock Elections shall be unconditional and irrevocable. After a Cash Election or a Stock Election is properly made with respect to any share of Alliance Common Stock, no further registration of transfer of such share shall be made on the stock transfer books of Alliance.

(d) WFBI and Alliance shall publicly announce the anticipated date of the Election Deadline at least five (5) business days prior to the anticipated Closing Date. If the Closing Date is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and WFBI and Alliance shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline.

(e) The good faith determination of the Exchange Agent (or the joint determination of WFBI and Alliance, in the event that the Exchange Agent declines to make any such determination) shall be conclusive and binding as to whether or not Cash Elections and Stock Elections shall have been properly made pursuant to this Section 2.3 and as to when Cash Elections and Stock Elections were received by the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to disregard immaterial defects in the Forms of Election. The Exchange Agent (or WFBI and Alliance jointly, in the event that the Exchange Agent declines to make the following computations) shall also make all computations as to the proration contemplated by Section 2.4, and absent manifest error such computations shall be conclusive and binding on WFBI, Alliance and all holders of Alliance Common Stock. The Exchange Agent may, with the written agreement of WFBI, make any rules that are consistent with this Section 2.3 for the implementation of the Cash Elections and Stock Elections provided for in this Agreement and necessary or desirable to effect the Cash Elections and Stock Elections.

(f) All Certificates must be surrendered to the Exchange Agent within twelve months of the Effective Time. In the event that any former shareholder of Alliance shall not have properly surrendered his or her Certificates within such period, the shares of WFBI Common Stock that would otherwise have been issued to such shareholder may, at the option of WFBI, be sold and the net proceeds of such sale, together with any cash in respect of fractional shares and any previously accrued dividends, shall be held by WFBI for such shareholder’s benefit in a non-interest bearing deposit account at WF Bank or another depository institution, the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), chosen by WFBI in its discretion, and the sole right of such shareholder shall be the right to receive any certificates for WFBI Common Stock which have not been so sold, and to collect cash in such account, without interest. Subject to all applicable laws of escheat, such amounts shall be paid to such former shareholder of Alliance, without interest, upon proper surrender of his or her Certificates.

(g) All dollar amounts payable to any shareholder as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(d) will be rounded to the nearest whole cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward), based on the aggregate amount payable for all shares registered in such shareholder’s name.

(h) Following the Effective Time, Certificates which formerly represented shares of Alliance Common Stock which are to be converted into the Stock Consideration shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole shares of WFBI Common Stock into which they have been converted, except that until exchanged in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, the holders of such shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions or payments in respect of WFBI Common Stock.

(i) If any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by WFBI, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as WFBI may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Alliance Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

2.4 Proration. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) With respect to all shares of Alliance Common Stock (other than the Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time:

(i) the number of shares of Alliance Common Stock that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration shall be limited to twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Alliance Common Stock (the “Cash Conversion Number”); and

(ii) the remainder of the shares of Alliance Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration per share.

(b) If the aggregate number of Cash Electing Alliance Shares (such number of shares, the “Cash Election Number”) equals or exceeds the Cash Conversion Number, then the number of Cash Electing Alliance Shares of each shareholder of Alliance that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Electing Alliance Shares of such shareholder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Cash Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Cash Election Number, and the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Electing Alliance Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration per share. In no event shall WFBI pay Cash Consideration in an amount that would jeopardize the ability of the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF WFBI

Except as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered by WFBI to Alliance prior to the date hereof (the “WFBI Disclosure Schedule”), WFBI represents and warrants to Alliance and Alliance Bank as follows:

3.1 Organization and Authority. WFBI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”) and has the corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business, and the business of its subsidiaries, as now being conducted and to enter into and carry out its obligations under this Agreement. WFBI is qualified to do

business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except where the failure to obtain such qualification would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or results of operations, of WFBI and WF Bank, taken as a whole. WFBI has all necessary governmental authorizations to own or lease its properties and assets, and carry on its business as now being conducted, with the exception of those authorizations which the failure to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or result of operations of WFBI and WF Bank, taken as a whole.

3.2 Capitalization of WFBI. (a) As of March 31, 2012, the authorized capital stock of WFBI consists of 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of which 2,908,526 shares were issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $5.00 per share, issuable in series of which 17,796 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, are outstanding. As of March 31, 2012, there were outstanding options to purchase 608,378 shares (and outstanding restricted stock awards with respect to 59,507 shares) of WFBI Common Stock pursuant to the WFBI 2010 Equity Compensation Plan and outstanding warrants to purchase 158,739 shares of WFBI Common Stock. As of the date hereof, there are no other shares of capital stock or other equity securities of WFBI outstanding and no other outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of capital stock or other equity security of WFBI, or contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which WFBI was or may become bound to issue additional shares of its capital stock or other equity security or options, warrants, scrip, rights to purchase or acquire, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for, any additional shares of its capital stock or other equity security.

(b) All of the outstanding shares of WFBI Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable under the VSCA. When issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all of the shares of WFBI Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration in exchange for shares of Alliance Common Stock will be duly authorized and validly issued shares of WFBI Common Stock and will be fully paid and nonassessable under the VSCA. No shares of WFBI Common Stock have been, and none of the shares of WFBI Common Stock to be issued in exchange for shares of Alliance Common Stock will be, issued in violation of the preemptive or preferential rights of any holder of WFBI capital stock. WFBI has reserved a sufficient number of shares of WFBI Common Stock for the purpose of issuing shares of WFBI Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. None of the outstanding shares of WFBI Common Stock were issued in violation of the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (“Securities Act”) or applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

3.3 Authorization. (a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by WFBI and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of WFBI, and, except for receipt of the requisite vote of WFBI shareholders no other corporate proceedings on the part of WFBI are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to the approvals of government agencies having regulatory authority over WFBI or the Merger as may be required by statute or regulation, this Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of WFBI,

enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium or other similar laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general equitable principles which may limit the enforcement of certain remedies.

(b) Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by WFBI, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by WFBI with any of the provisions of this Agreement, will (i) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration or the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of WFBI under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of: (x) the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws (or similar organizational and governing documents) of WFBI, or (y) any material note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which WFBI is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which WFBI or any of its properties or assets may be subject, or (ii) subject to compliance with the statutes and regulations referred to in the next paragraph, violate any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to WFBI or any of its properties or assets.

(c) Other than in connection or in compliance with the applicable provisions of the VSCA, Title 6.2 of the Code of Virginia (the “VFIC”), the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), the securities or blue sky laws of the various states and consents, authorizations, approvals or exemptions required under the BHCA or the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”) or any applicable federal or state banking statute (including those relating to mortgage banking, brokerage or lending activities), no notice to, filing with, authorization of, exemption by, or consent or approval of, any public body or authority is necessary for the consummation by WFBI of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) WFBI has no reason to believe that any required regulatory consent or approval will not be received or will be received with conditions or restrictions which Alliance or Alliance Bank would deem unduly burdensome, or which would have an adverse impact on its capacity to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.4 WFBI Accounting Matters.

(a) WFBI has established and maintains, and at all times through the Closing Date will maintain, a system of internal control over financial reporting that is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of WFBI’s financial reporting and the preparation of WFBI’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. WFBI has no knowledge of (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a

role in WFBI’s internal control over financial reporting. WFBI is not aware of any change in its internal control over financial reporting that has occurred since December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, WFBI’s internal control over financial reporting.

(b) Since December 31, 2009 (i) WFBI has not received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, or internal procedures or accounting controls, methodologies or methods of WFBI or WF Bank, including but not limited to any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that WFBI or WF Bank has engaged in any questionable accounting or auditing practice, or regarding any violation of the securities laws; and (ii) no attorney representing WFBI or WF Bank has reported to their respective Boards of Directors, committee thereof, any member thereof or any executive officer, evidence of a material violation of the securities or banking laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by WFBI or WF Bank or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents.

3.5 WFBI Financial Statements. (a) The (i) audited consolidated statements of condition of WFBI as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2011 included in WFBI’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2011; and (ii) unaudited consolidated statements of condition of WFBI as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (the “WFBI Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, and present fairly, in all material respects, its financial position and its consolidated results of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows, except that the WFBI unaudited consolidated interim financial statements do not include statements of shareholders’ equity and cash flows, omit the footnote disclosures, and are subject to normal year end audit adjustments required by GAAP. The audited consolidated statements of condition of WFBI as of future dates and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods then ended, which may be provided by WFBI to Alliance subsequent to the date hereof, will be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, and will present fairly, in all material respects, its consolidated financial position as of such dates and its consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for such periods. The unaudited interim statements of condition and statements of operations which may be provided to Alliance subsequent to the date hereof will be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, and will present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of WFBI at the dates and the consolidated results of operations of WFBI for the periods stated therein, except that the WFBI unaudited interim financial statements will not include statements of shareholders equity and cash flows, will omit the footnote disclosures, and will be subject to normal year end adjustments, required by GAAP.

(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, the allowances for loan losses and the reserves for representations and warranties reflected in the statements of financial condition included in the WFBI Consolidated Financial Statements were calculated in accordance with GAAP; WFBI believes that such allowances and reserves were, as of such dates, adequate to

absorb all reasonably anticipated losses in the loan portfolio of WFBI and WFBI Bank, and recourse obligations in respect of WFBI Sold Loans (as defined in Section 3.14) in light of the size and characteristics of such portfolios, economic conditions, borrower capacity and other pertinent factors, and no facts have subsequently come to the knowledge of WFBI which would cause it to restate in any material way the amount of the allowance for loan losses or reserve for representations and warranties as of any such date.

3.6 Books of Account; Corporate Records. The books of account of WFBI and WF Bank are maintained in compliance in all material respects with all applicable legal and accounting requirements. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the books and records of account of WF Bank contain sufficient information, in reasonably accessible form and format, to enable it to conduct business in the ordinary course with respect to the assets and liabilities of WF Bank, including but not limited to information which would enable it to make any required filings under the Bank Secrecy Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. The minute books of WFBI and WF Bank constitute an accurate record of all material corporate actions of their respective shareholders and Boards of Directors and of all committees thereof.

3.7 Regulatory Reports. (a) As of March 31, 2012, WFBI and WF Bank had timely filed, since that date have timely filed, and subsequent to the date hereof will timely file, all reports, registrations and statements, if any, together with any amendments required to be made with respect thereto, that were and are required to be filed with (i) the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), (ii) the FDIC, and (iii) the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions (“VBFI”) (all such reports and statements are collectively referred to herein as the “WFBI Reports”). As of their respective dates, the WFBI Reports complied and will comply in all material respects with all the statutes, rules and regulations enforced or promulgated by the regulatory authority with which they were filed and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(b) Each offering circular, private placement memorandum or other securities offering document used by WFBI in connection with the sale of WFBI Common Stock, and all other sales documentation relating thereto, did not contain any untrue or misleading statement of a material fact, and did not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

3.8 WF Bank. WFBI directly or indirectly owns all the shares of the outstanding capital stock of WF Bank. Neither WFBI nor WF Bank has any other subsidiaries. No equity securities of WF Bank are or may become required to be issued by reason of any options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relative to, or concerning securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any class of capital stock or other equity security of WF Bank, and there are no other contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which any WF Bank is bound to issue, or WFBI is bound to cause WF Bank to issue, additional shares of its capital stock or other equity security or options, warrants, scrip, rights to purchase or acquire, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for, any additional shares of its capital stock or other equity

security. All of the shares of capital stock of WF Bank so owned by WFBI are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by it free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance or agreement with respect thereto. WF Bank is a commercial bank duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and has the corporate power and authority and all necessary federal, state, local and foreign authorizations to own or lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The deposits of WF Bank are insured to the applicable legal limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC.

3.9 Absence of Certain Changes. Except for events or circumstances disclosed in the WFBI Reports, since December 31, 2011, there has not been any change in the nature of the business, results of operations, assets, financial condition, method of accounting or accounting practice, or manner or conduct of the business of WFBI and WF Bank that has had, or may reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of WFBI and WF Bank, taken as a whole, or on the ability of WFBI to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to admit or give rise to any implication that any events disclosed in the WFBI Reports have had, or may be reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of WFBI and WF Bank, taken as a whole, or on the ability of WFBI to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.10 Litigation and Other Proceedings. Neither WFBI nor WF Bank is a party to any pending, or, to the knowledge of WFBI, threatened claim, action, suit, investigation or proceeding or subject to any order, judgment or decree, except for matters which, in the aggregate, cannot reasonably be anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the ability of WFBI to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the financial condition, prospects, results of operations, business, or properties of WFBI or WF Bank, taken as a whole, and, to the knowledge of WFBI, there is no basis for any of the foregoing.

3.11 Proxy Statement, Etc. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by and relating to WFBI for inclusion, or included, in (i) the Proxy Statement (as defined herein), (ii) the Registration Statement (as defined herein) or (iii) any other documents to be filed with any regulatory agency in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby will, at the respective times such information is supplied or such documents are filed or mailed, be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. All documents which WFBI is responsible for filing with any regulatory agency in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of applicable law.

3.12 Tax and Regulatory Treatment. Neither WFBI nor WF Bank has taken or agreed to take any action, or has knowledge of any fact or circumstance, that would prevent the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code. WFBI has no reason to believe that any required regulatory consent or approval will not be received or will be received with conditions or restrictions which WFBI would deem unduly burdensome, or which would have an adverse impact on its capacity to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.13 Taxes. (a) WFBI and WF Bank have duly filed, or will file, all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns (“WFBI Returns”) required by applicable law to be filed on or before the Effective Time (all such WFBI Returns being accurate and complete in all material respects), and have paid or have set up adequate reserves or accruals for the payment of all taxes required to be paid in respect of the periods covered by such WFBI Returns, and will pay, or where payment is not yet due, will set up adequate reserves or accruals adequate in all material respects for the payment of all taxes for any subsequent periods ending on or prior to the Effective Time or any portion of a subsequent period which includes the Effective Time and ends subsequent thereto. WFBI reasonably believes that neither it nor WF Bank has or will have any material liability for any such taxes in excess of the amounts so paid or reserved or accruals so established. WFBI and WF Bank are not delinquent in the payment of any material tax, assessment or governmental charge and have not requested any extension of time within which to file any tax returns in respect of any fiscal year which have not since been filed.

(b) No material deficiencies for any tax, assessment or governmental charge have been assessed (tentatively or definitively) or, to WFBI’s knowledge, proposed or asserted against WFBI or WF Bank which have not been settled and paid and, as of the date of this Agreement, no requests for waivers of the time to assess any tax, or waivers of the statutory period of limitation, are pending or have been granted, and WFBI and WF Bank do not have in effect any currently effective power of attorney or authorization to any person to represent it in connection with any taxes. No issue has been raised with WFBI by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority in connection with an audit or examination of the WFBI Returns, or the business or properties of WFBI and WF Bank which has not been settled, resolved and fully satisfied. No claim has ever been made by any taxing authority in a jurisdiction where WFBI and each WF Bank does not file tax returns that WFBI or WF Bank is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.

(c) WFBI and each WF Bank has paid (or has had paid on its behalf) or has withheld and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority all material taxes due and payable, or, where payment is not yet due, has established (or has had established on its behalf and for its sole benefit and recourse) in accordance with GAAP an adequate accrual for all taxes through the end of the last period for which WFBI and WF Bank ordinarily record items on their respective books. WFBI and WF Bank have withheld or collected from each payment made to its employees the amount of all taxes (including but not limited to federal income taxes, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes and federal unemployment taxes) required to be withheld or collected therefrom, and have paid the same to the proper tax officers or authorized depositories.

(d) Neither WFBI nor WF Bank is a party to, or bound by, any agreement or arrangement relating to the apportionment, sharing, assignment, or indemnification or allocation of any tax or tax assets (other than an agreement or arrangement solely among the current members of a group the common parent of which is WFBI) or has any liability for the taxes of any person including any former subsidiary of WFBI or WF Bank), other than WFBI or WF Bank, under (i) Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or similar provision of federal, state or local law), (ii) any contract, (iii) any agreement, or (iv) any other arrangement.

3.14 Loans. (a) Each of the loans, including loans held for sale (“Loans”), of WF Bank: (i) is evidenced by notes, agreements or other evidences of indebtedness which are true, genuine and what they purport to be; (ii) to the extent secured, has been secured by valid liens or security interests which have been perfected; and (iii) represents the legal, valid and binding obligation of the borrowers named therein, enforceable in accordance with its terms (including the validity, perfection and enforceability of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance relating to such Loan), except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity which may limit the enforcement of certain remedies. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, it is agreed that the phrase “enforceable in accordance with its terms” shall not mean that the borrower or other obligor has the financial ability to repay a loan or that the collateral is sufficient in value to result in payment of the loan secured thereby.

(b) Each Loan of WF Bank was made in material compliance with the provisions of applicable law and regulation, including but not limited to the Real Estate Settlement Practices Act (“RESPA”), the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) No default (including any event or circumstance which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default) in respect of any material provision (including any default in payment) of any Loan of WF Bank exists, and WFBI and WF Bank have no knowledge of any borrower’s inability to repay any of such Loans when due, whether or not such borrower is currently in default, except as reflected on WFBI’s classified asset schedule.

(d) Neither WFBI nor WF Bank has any liability or obligation, and, to WFBI’s knowledge, no events have occurred and no threats have been made which would require WFBI or WF Bank, to repurchase or reacquire any Loan, or purchase collateral in respect of any Loan, which was held for sale and which has previously been sold in the ordinary course of WFBI’s mortgage origination/brokerage business (whether or not such loan has subsequently been reacquired by WFBI or WF Bank) since December 31, 2006 (“WFBI Sold Loans”), or to make any payment on any WFBI Sold Loan, or to make any payment to, reimburse, indemnify or hold harmless, or otherwise assume liability with respect to any loss, liability or expense incurred by, the purchaser (or subsequent purchaser or acquiror) of any WFBI Sold Loan in respect of such WFBI Sold Loan, or is otherwise subject to any liability or recourse in respect of any WFBI Sold Loan. Neither WFBI nor WF Bank has any liability to any borrower as a result of the manner in which a WFBI Sold Loan was originated. Section 3.14(d) of the WFBI Disclosure Schedule sets forth detail with respect to any exceptions hereto, including but not limited to the nature and extent of the liability, any limits (in time or dollar amount) on such liability, the basis of such liability, the instrument under which such potential liability arises, the nature and amount of WFBI Sold Loans resulting in such liability and the identity of the party to whom WFBI or WFBI Bank may have such liability.

(e) No WFBI Sold Loan was originated in violation of the representations and warranties of WFBI or WF Bank contained or incorporated by reference in any contract or

agreement pursuant to which such WFBI Sold Loan was sold or assigned, including but not limited to any representation or warranty regarding the absence of fraud, misstatement of a material fact, omission of a material fact or a fact necessary to make the information provided not misleading, regarding the WFBI Sold Loan, the loan collateral, the borrower or the credit-worthiness of borrower, and any representation or warranty of WFBI or WF Bank regarding the absence of any fact, circumstance or condition which would cause, or would reasonably be expected to cause, the purchaser of the WFBI Sold Loan, any subsequent purchaser, securitizer or guarantor of such WFBI Sold Loan (including but not limited to the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) or the Department of Veteran Affairs (the “VA”) to regard such WFBI Sold Loan as unacceptable as an investment, ineligible for insurance, or which would otherwise cause them to consider the value or marketability of such WFBI Sold Loan to be materially adversely affected.

(f) Neither WFBI nor WF Bank currently services any Loan, including any WFBI Sold Loan, not currently held in portfolio, for any third party. The servicing and collection practices of WFBI and WF Bank with respect to WFBI Sold Loans materially complied with applicable laws, and was in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreements pursuant to which such WFBI Sold Loans were sold, whether such servicing was conducted by WFBI, WF Bank, their respective affiliates, a third party or a servicing agent of any of the foregoing.

3.15 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as (i) reflected, noted and/or adequately reserved against in the WFBI Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2011, and (ii) incurred since December 31, 2011 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, WFBI and WF Bank have no material liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) which were required to be reflected, noted or reserved against in the balance sheet included therein under GAAP.

3.16 Additional Capital Investment. (a) WFBI has delivered to Alliance correct and complete copies of executed securities purchase or investment agreements containing the several obligations of certain investors to provide additional capital of at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) to WFBI in connection with the Merger, subject to the conditions contained therein (the “Capital Commitments”). As of the date of this Agreement, the Capital Commitments are valid and in full force and effect and have not been amended or modified, and the agreements of the respective investors contained in the Capital Commitments have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. The aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Capital Commitments will be sufficient for WFBI to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration and to pay all related fees and expenses. The investors’ several obligations to fund the amounts under their respective Capital Commitments are not subject to any conditions or contingencies other than as set forth therein. No event has occurred that (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) would constitute a default under the Capital Commitments on the part of WFBI, or WF Bank. WFBI is not aware of any reason, fact or circumstance existing on the date of this Agreement that (A) has caused or is reasonably likely to cause any Capital Commitment to not be in full force and effect or (B) precludes or is reasonably likely to preclude the satisfaction by WFBI of the conditions set forth in the Capital Commitments to be satisfied by them. WFBI has paid, or will pay at or prior to the Effective Time, all commitment and other fees required to be paid under the Capital Commitments.

(b) To the knowledge of WFBI, the execution and delivery of the Capital Commitments have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of each respective investor, such Capital Commitment has been executed by a person authorized to bind such investor and such Capital Commitment constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium or other similar laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general equitable principles which may limit the enforcement of certain remedies.

(c) To the knowledge of WFBI, each respective investor party to a Capital Commitment has, or at the closing date of the applicable Capital Commitment will have, the available funds necessary to perform such investor’s capital commitment.

3.17 Compliance with Laws. (a) WFBI and WF Bank have all permits, licenses, certificates of authority, orders and approvals of, and have made all filings, applications and registrations with, federal, state, local or foreign governmental or regulatory bodies that are required in order to permit them to carry on their business as presently conducted and the absence of which would have a material adverse effect on such business; all such permits, licenses, certificates of authority, orders and approvals are in full force and effect, and, to the knowledge of WFBI, no suspension or cancellation of any of them is threatened; and all such filings, applications and registrations are current.

Neither WFBI nor WF Bank is in default under any order, license, regulation or demand of any federal, state, local or other governmental agency or with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, other than instances of default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of WFBI and WF Bank, taken as a whole.

(b) Except for statutory or regulatory restrictions of general application, no federal, state, local or other governmental authority has placed any restrictions on the business of WFBI or WF Bank which reasonably could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of WFBI and WF Bank taken as a whole. Neither WFBI nor WF Bank is a party or subject to any order, decree, written agreement, memorandum of understanding or similar

arrangement with, or a commitment letter, supervisory letter or similar submission or application to, or extraordinary supervisory letter from, any such governmental authority and neither WFBI nor WF Bank has been advised that any such governmental authority is contemplating issuing or requesting (or is considering the appropriateness of issuing or requesting) any such order, decree, written agreement, memorandum of understanding, commitment letter, supervisory letter or similar arrangement or submission or application.

4.1 Organization and Authority. Alliance is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Alliance is a registered bank holding company under the BHCA, and has the corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business, and the business of the Alliance Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 4.2), as now being conducted and to enter into and carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Alliance is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except where the failure to obtain such qualification would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or results of operations, of Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Alliance has all necessary governmental authorizations to own or lease its properties and assets, and carry on its business as now being conducted, with the exception of those authorizations which the failure to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or result of operations of Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

4.2 Alliance Subsidiaries. (a) Alliance directly owns all outstanding shares of the capital stock of Alliance Bank, and all of the outstanding common securities of Alliance Virginia Capital Trust I (“AVCT”).

As of its date of filing with or furnishing to the SEC, each Alliance SEC Report, complied in all material respects with the Exchange Act or Securities Act, as the case may be, and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the statement was made.

(b) At all times since December 31, 2009 Alliance has established and maintained, and at all times through the Closing Date will maintain, disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Alliance, including with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries, in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and (ii) made known to Alliance’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, by others within those entities.

Such internal control over financial reporting is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Alliance’s financial reporting and the preparation of Alliance’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Alliance has no knowledge of (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in Alliance’s internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Since December 31, 2009, (i) neither Alliance nor any Alliance Subsidiary has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, or internal procedures or accounting controls, methodologies or methods of Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary, including but not limited to any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary has engaged in any questionable accounting or auditing practice, or regarding any violation of the securities laws; and (ii) no attorney representing Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary has reported to their respective Boards of Directors,

The composition of all committees of the Board of Directors of Alliance is, and at all times since December 31, 2009 has been and will be through the Closing Date, in compliance with such committees’ respective charters and the requirements of NASDAQ, and all proceedings and actions of such committees have been conducted in compliance with such charters in all material respects.

4.6 Alliance Financial Statements. (a) The audited consolidated balance sheets of Alliance as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2011 included in Alliance’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, and present fairly, in all material respects, its financial position and its consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows. The audited consolidated balance sheets of Alliance as of future dates and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods then ended, which may be provided by Alliance to WFBI subsequent to the date hereof, will be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, and will present fairly, in all material respects, its consolidated financial position as of such dates and its consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for such periods. The unaudited interim financial statements which may be provided to WFBI subsequent to the date hereof will be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, and will present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Alliance at the dates, and the consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Alliance for the periods stated therein except that the Alliance unaudited consolidated interim financial statements omit the footnote disclosures, and are subject to normal year end audit adjustments, required by GAAP. Together, the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements referred to in this Section 4.6 are referred to as the “Alliance Consolidated Financial Statements.”

(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, the allowances for loan losses and the reserves for representations and warranties reflected in the consolidated balance sheets included in the Alliance Consolidated Financial Statements were calculated in accordance with GAAP; Alliance and Alliance Bank believe that such allowances and reserves were, as of such dates, adequate to absorb all reasonably anticipated losses in the loan portfolio of Alliance and Alliance Bank, and recourse obligations in respect of Alliance Sold Loans (as defined in Section 4.19) in

light of the size and characteristics of such portfolios, economic conditions, borrower capacity and other pertinent factors, and no facts have subsequently come to the knowledge of Alliance or Alliance Bank which would cause it to restate in any material way the amount of the allowance for loan losses or reserve for representations and warranties as of any such date.

(c) Alliance has provided to WFBI a copy of its internal consolidated balance sheets and internal consolidated statements of operations, reviewed by Xxxxx, Hyde & Xxxxxxx, P.C., independent registered public accountants to Alliance (“YHB”), for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, in draft form (the “Draft Financial Statements”), which shall be used by Alliance as the basis for the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations to be filed with the SEC as part of Alliance’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The consolidated balance sheets of Alliance as of March 31, 2012 (unaudited) and December 31, 2011, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, included in the Draft Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, and present fairly, in all material respects, its consolidated financial position as of such dates and its consolidated results of operations, for such periods. Without limitation of the foregoing, the allowances for loan losses and reserves for representations and warranties reflected in the consolidated balance sheets included in the Draft Financial Statements were calculated in accordance with GAAP; Alliance and Alliance Bank believe that such allowances and reserves are, as of such dates, adequate to absorb all reasonably anticipated losses in the loan portfolio of Alliance and Alliance Bank, and recourse obligations in respect of Alliance Sold Loans in light of the size characteristics of such portfolios, economic conditions, borrower capacity and other pertinent factors, and no facts have subsequently come to the knowledge of Alliance or Alliance Bank which would cause it to modify in any material way the amount of the allowance for loan losses or reserve for representations and warranties contained in the Draft Financial Statements. The Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Alliance for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, when filed by Alliance with the SEC, will include financial statements that contain consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations in substantially the form of the Draft Financial Statements and will also contain statements of changes in stockholders’ equity or cash flows. The financial statements filed with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Alliance for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 will contain no material adverse variation in any line item of the balance sheets, statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity or cash flows, or any disclosure in the notes thereto of the Form 10-Q, when compared to the similar items and information in the Draft Financial Statements.

4.7 Books of Account; Corporate Records. The books of account of Alliance and Alliance Bank are maintained in compliance in all material respects with all applicable legal and accounting requirements. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the books and records of account of Alliance Bank contain sufficient information, in reasonably accessible form and format, to enable it to conduct business in the ordinary course with respect to the assets and liabilities of Alliance Bank, including but not limited to information which would enable it to make any required filings under the Bank Secrecy Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. The minute books of Alliance and Alliance Bank constitute an accurate record of all material corporate actions of their respective shareholders and Board of Directors and of all committees thereof.

4.8 Alliance Reports. (a) Since December 31, 2009, Alliance and Alliance Bank have timely filed, and subsequent to the date hereof will timely file, all reports, registrations and statements, if any, together with any amendments required to be made with respect thereto, that were and are required to be filed with: (i) the Federal Reserve Board; (ii) the FDIC; (iii) the SEC; and (iv) the SCC (all such reports and statements are collectively referred to herein as the “Alliance Reports”). As of their respective dates, the Alliance Reports complied and will comply in all material respects with all the statutes, rules and regulations enforced or promulgated by the regulatory authority with which they were filed and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(b) Each registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, private placement memorandum or other securities offering document used by Alliance in connection with the sale of Alliance Common Stock, and all other sales documentation relating thereto, did not contain any untrue or misleading statement of a material fact, and did not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

4.9 Absence of Certain Changes. Except for events or circumstances disclosed in the Alliance SEC Reports, since December 31, 2011, there has not been any change in the nature of the business, results of operations, assets, financial condition, method of accounting or accounting practice, or manner of conducting the business of Alliance or the Alliance Subsidiaries, that has had, or may reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or on the ability of Alliance and Alliance Bank to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to admit or give rise to any implication that any events disclosed in the Alliance SEC Reports have had, or may be reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the ability of Alliance or Alliance Bank to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

All policies of insurance maintained by Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary, including the identity of the carrier, type of coverage, policy limits, expiration, and claims made within the past five (5) years, are set forth in Section 4.10 of the Alliance Disclosure Schedule. All such policies are in full force and effect and no notices of cancellation have been received in connection therewith. Such policies are in accordance with customary and reasonable practice in the banking industry in respect of amounts, types and risks insured, for the business in which Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries are engaged, and, except as would cause a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition, prospects or results of operations of Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or on the ability of Alliance and Alliance Bank to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, are sufficient for compliance with all legal requirements and all agreements to which Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary is a party.

4.11 Properties, Leases and Other Agreements. Except (i) as may be reflected in the Alliance Consolidated Financial Statements, (ii) for any lien for current taxes not yet delinquent, and (iii) for imperfections of title, encumbrances and easements, if any, as are not material in character, amount or extent and do not materially detract from the value, or interfere with the present or proposed use of, such properties or assets, Alliance and Alliance Bank have good title, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges, options or other encumbrances, to all of the personal and real property reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of Alliance as of December 31, 2011, and all personal and real property acquired since such date, except such personal and real property as has been disposed of for fair value in the ordinary course of business. All leases pursuant to which Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary, as lessee, leases real property, are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms, and there is not, under any of such real property leases, any existing default by Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary or any event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default by Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary. All leases pursuant to which Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary, as sublessor, leases real property, are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms, and there is not, under any of such real property leases, any existing default by Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary, or to Alliance’s knowledge, any sublessee thereunder, or any event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default by Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary or to Alliance’s knowledge, any sublessee thereunder. There are no leases pursuant to which Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary leases personal property. Section 4.11 of the Alliance Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete list and brief description of all real estate owned or leased by Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary (including real estate acquired by means of foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or by exercise of any creditor’s right), all real estate subleases where Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary is sublessor, and all personal property having a value in excess of $50,000 owned or leased by Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary.

Alliance reasonably believes that neither it nor any Alliance Subsidiary has or will have any material liability for any such taxes in excess of the amounts so paid or reserved or accruals so established. Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries are not delinquent in the payment of any material tax, assessment or governmental charge and have not requested any extension of time within which to file any tax returns in respect of any fiscal year which have not since been filed.

(c) Each Alliance Benefit Plan that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” or provides for the payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), complies as to form, and has been operated in material compliance, with Section 409A. The execution, delivery and/or consummation of this Agreement, the Bank Merger Agreement, the Merger, the Bank Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the payment or acceleration of the amounts set forth under each Alliance Benefit Plan, shall not result in the payment to any person of any amounts which would violate Section 409A.

Other than as set forth in Section 4.16(a) of the Alliance Disclosure Schedule, neither Alliance nor any Alliance Subsidiary maintains any plans of the type described in this Section 4.16(a).

(b) All Alliance ERISA Plans have been maintained, funded and administered in compliance, in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code, and all other federal, state, or local laws. The assets of Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries are not subject to any liens under ERISA or the Code with respect to any Alliance ERISA Plan and no event has occurred, or, to Alliance’s knowledge, no condition exists, which could reasonably be expected to subject Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary or their respective assets to a future liability, obligation, or lien arising out of any Alliance ERISA Plan.

(c) All contributions due on or prior to the date hereof to any Alliance ERISA Plan have been paid or provided for in accordance with its terms, ERISA and all other applicable federal and state statutes and regulations.

Neither Alliance, Alliance Bank, nor to the knowledge of Alliance, any other person or entity who or which is a “party in interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code) has acted or failed to act with respect to any such Alliance ERISA Plans in any manner which constitutes: (1) a breach of fiduciary responsibility under ERISA; (2) a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (3) any other material violation of ERISA or the Code. Neither Alliance nor Alliance Bank is obligated to indemnify, reimburse, or contribute to the liabilities or expenses of any person or entity who may have committed or been involved in any such fiduciary breach, prohibited transaction, or material violation of ERISA or the Code.

(e) Each Alliance ERISA Plan that was intended to constitute a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has, at all times, been qualified, in form and operation, under Section 401(a) of the Code (including the adoption of all necessary amendments to maintain such qualification) and has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service that such Alliance ERISA Plan is a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code; any related trust is and has, at all times, been exempt from income tax, and nothing has occurred, or failed to occur, which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualification or status of any such plan. None of Alliance, Alliance Bank, or any Affiliate, as defined in Section 4.16(i) hereof, has ever maintained or contributed, or has any obligation to contribute to or any liability or potential liability with respect to (i) a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Sections 3(37) and 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) or (ii) a plan subject to Title IV of ERISA.

(g) Each Alliance ERISA Plan can be amended, modified, or terminated without participant consent and without additional liability accruing to Alliance or Alliance Bank after the date of such plan termination. For this purpose, liabilities accrued on or before the date of the Alliance ERISA Plan termination shall be limited to the following: (1) in the case of an employee benefit pension plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA), the participant’s “accrued benefit,” as defined in Section 3(23) of ERISA; and (2) in the case of an “employee welfare benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA), claims for expenses, costs, or services (including, but not limited to, medical and other health care services) actually performed or incurred before the date of such plan termination. Any prior amendment, modification, or termination of an Alliance ERISA Plan has been made in accordance with the terms of the plan and applicable law.

Each such Material Contract is valid and in full force and effect, and Alliance and Alliance Bank, and to the knowledge of Alliance and Alliance Bank, all other parties thereto have in all material respects performed all obligations thereunder required to be performed to date, and are not in material default. Each Material Contract, and each lease or sublease of real property reflected in Section 4.11 to the Alliance Disclosure Schedule, is assumable and assignable without consent of the other party thereto and does not contain any provision increasing or accelerating payments otherwise due, or changing or modifying the provisions or terms of such Material Contract or lease as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Except for the approval by the requisite vote of holders of Alliance Common Stock and the holders of WFBI Common Stock, the governmental approvals referred to in Section 4.4 and as set forth in Section 4.17 to the Alliance Disclosure Schedule, no consent,

permission, acquiescence, approval, or authorization of or by any third party is required to permit Alliance and Alliance Bank to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and for WFBI and WF Bank to have full use and enjoyment of each asset of Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries.

Each extension of credit disclosed in Section 4.18 to the Alliance Disclosure Schedule has been made in the ordinary course of business, and on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable arms-length transactions, and does not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

(a) Each of the Loans of Alliance Bank: (i) is evidenced by notes, agreements or other evidences of indebtedness which are true, genuine and what they purport to be; (ii) to the extent secured, has been secured by valid liens or security interests which have been perfected; and (iii) represents the legal, valid and binding obligation of the borrowers named therein, enforceable in accordance with its terms (including the validity, perfection and enforceability of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance relating to such Loan), except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity which may limit the enforcement of certain remedies. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, it is agreed that the phrase “enforceable in accordance with its terms” shall not mean that the borrower or other obligor has the financial ability to repay a loan or that the collateral is sufficient in value to result in payment of the loan secured thereby.

(b) Each Loan of Alliance Bank was made in material compliance with the provisions of applicable law and regulation, including but not limited to the RESPA, the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) No default (including any event or circumstance which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default) in respect of any material provision (including any default in payment) of any Loan of Alliance Bank exists, and Alliance and Alliance Bank have no knowledge of any borrower’s inability to repay any of such loans when due, whether or not such borrower is currently in default, except as reflected on Alliance’s classified asset schedule.

(d) Neither Alliance nor any Alliance Subsidiary is a party to any oral loan or oral extension of credit.

(e) Neither Alliance nor any Alliance Subsidiary has any liability or obligation, and to Alliance’s knowledge, no events have occurred and no threats have been made

which would require Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary to repurchase or reacquire any Loan, or purchase collateral in respect of any Loan, which was held for sale and which has previously been sold in the ordinary course of Alliance’s discontinued mortgage origination/brokerage business (whether or not such loan has subsequently been reacquired by Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary) since December 31, 2006 (“Alliance Sold Loans”), or to make any payment on any Alliance Sold Loan, or to make any payment to, reimburse, indemnify or hold harmless, or otherwise assume liability with respect to any loss, liability or expense incurred by, the purchaser (or subsequent purchaser or acquiror) of any Alliance Sold Loan in respect of such Alliance Sold Loan, or is otherwise subject to any liability or recourse in respect of any Alliance Sold Loan. Neither Alliance nor any Alliance Subsidiary has any liability to any borrower as a result of the manner in which an Alliance Sold Loan was originated. Section 4.19(e) of the Alliance Disclosure Schedule sets forth detail with respect to any exceptions hereto, including but not limited to the nature and extent of the liability, any limits (in time or dollar amount) on such liability, the basis of such liability, the instrument under which such potential liability arises, the nature and amount of Alliance Sold Loans resulting in such liability and the identity of the party to whom Alliance or Alliance Bank may have such liability.

(f) No Alliance Sold Loan was originated in violation of the representations and warranties of Alliance or Alliance Bank contained or incorporated by reference in any contract or agreement pursuant to which such Alliance Sold Loan was sold or assigned, including but not limited to any representation or warranty regarding the absence of fraud, misstatement of a material fact, omission of a material fact or a fact necessary to make the information provided not misleading, regarding the Alliance Sold Loan, the loan collateral, the borrower or the credit-worthiness of borrower, and any representation or warranty of Alliance or Alliance Bank regarding the absence of any fact, circumstance or condition which would cause, or would reasonably be expected to cause, the purchaser of the Alliance Sold Loan, any subsequent purchaser, securitizer or guarantor of such Alliance Sold Loan (including but not limited to FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, FHA or the VA) to regard such Alliance Sold Loan as unacceptable as an investment, ineligible for insurance, or which would otherwise cause them to consider the value or marketability of such Alliance Sold Loan to be materially adversely affected.

(g) Neither Alliance nor any Alliance Subsidiary currently services any Loan, including any Alliance Sold Loan, not currently held in portfolio, for any third party. The servicing and collection practices of Alliance and each Alliance Subsidiary with respect to Alliance Sold Loans materially complied with applicable laws, and was in material accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreements pursuant to which such Alliance Sold Loans were sold, whether such servicing was conducted by Alliance, an Alliance Subsidiary, their respective affiliates, a third party or a servicing agent of any of the foregoing.

4.20 Deposits. None of the deposits of Alliance Bank are “brokered” deposits as such term is defined in the rules and regulations of the FDIC or are subject to any lien, encumbrance, legal restraint or other legal process (other than garnishments, pledges, set off rights, escrow limitations and similar actions taken in the ordinary course of business), and no portion of such deposits represents a deposit of any affiliate of Alliance or Alliance Bank.

None of Alliance nor any Alliance Subsidiary has received written notice of, nor to the knowledge of Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary has Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary received an overt threat of, any legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceeding, claim, action, cause of action or governmental proceeding or investigation of any nature whatsoever, seeking to impose, or that could result in the imposition, on Alliance or any Alliance Subsidiary of any liability arising under any local, state, or federal environmental statute, regulation, rule or ordinance, and neither Alliance nor any Alliance Subsidiary is subject to any agreement, order, judgment, decree or memorandum of any court, governmental authority, regulatory agency or third party imposing any such liability.

(b) Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.10 hereof, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify WFBI, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve WFBI of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Person if such failure does not actually prejudice WFBI.

to the date hereof, but not contacted after the date hereof in violation of Section 5.1(l) shall be deemed an Unsolicited Acquisition Proposal. Any Acquisition Proposal received as a result of a violation of Section 5.1(l) shall not be deemed an Unsolicited Acquisition Proposal.

merging

ALLIANCE BANKSHARES CORPORATION,

a Virginia bank holding company

with and into

WASHINGTONFIRST BANKSHARES, INC.,

a Virginia bank holding company

1. Merger. Alliance Bankshares Corporation (“Alliance”), a Virginia bank holding company incorporated pursuant to the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”), shall upon the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.a) be merged (the “Merger”) with and into WashingtonFirst Bankshares, Inc. (“WFBI”), a Virginia bank holding company incorporated pursuant to the VSCA, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the VSCA. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Alliance shall cease and WFBI shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) following the Merger. The corporate existence of WFBI, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger.

2. Effective Time; Effects of the Merger.

a. The Merger shall become effective at the latest of (i) the issuance by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (the “SCC”) of a certificate of merger relating to the Merger; and (ii) the time set forth in articles of merger relating to the Merger filed with the SCC; such time referred to herein as the “Effective Time.”

b. At the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 13.1-721 of the VSCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time the separate corporate existence of Alliance shall cease and all of the properties, rights, powers, privileges, franchises, patents, trademarks, licenses, registrations, and other assets of every kind and description of Alliance shall be vested in, and all debts, liabilities and obligations of Alliance shall be the obligation of, WFBI as the Surviving Corporation, all without further act or deed, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the VSCA.

3. Articles of Incorporation. The Articles of Incorporation of WFBI in effect at the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until the same shall thereafter be altered, amended or repealed as provided therein or by applicable law.

4. Bylaws. The Bylaws of WFBI in effect at the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until the same shall thereafter be altered, amended or repealed as provided therein or by applicable law.

A-2

5. Board of Directors; Officers. From and after the Effective Time, the directors of WFBI immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Alliance Nominees (as defined in Section 10) shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly appointed or elected. From and after the Effective Time, the officers of WFBI immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly appointed or elected.

6. Manner and Basis of Converting Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of WFBI, Alliance, or any holder of any shares of capital stock of Alliance or WFBI:

a. Alliance Common Stock. Each share of common stock, $4.00 par value per share, of Alliance (“Alliance Common Stock”) (other than Excluded Shares (as defined in Section 6.e)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become the right to receive the following consideration:

i. each share of Alliance Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been properly made and not lost pursuant to Section 7.b.ii (each a “Cash Electing Alliance Share”) shall (subject to Section 7.g) be converted into the right to receive $5.30 in cash without interest, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6.b (such per share amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Cash Consideration”);

ii. each share of Alliance Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive stock consideration (a “Stock Election”) has been properly made and not lost pursuant to Section 7.b.ii shall (subject to Section 6.c) be converted into the right to receive 0.4435, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6.b (the “Conversion Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of WFBI (the “WFBI Common Stock”), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 6.c (such per share amount, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of WFBI Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 6.c is hereinafter referred to as the “Stock Consideration”); and

iii. each share of Alliance Common Stock that is not (x) an Excluded Share or (y) a share of Alliance Common Stock with respect to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been properly made and not lost pursuant to Section 7.b.ii (each, a “Non-Electing Alliance Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive Stock Consideration.

Effective as of the Effective Time, each share of Alliance Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Alliance Common Stock (each a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 7. For purposes of this Plan of Merger, the term “Merger Consideration” with respect to a given share of Alliance Common Stock shall mean either the

A-3

Cash Consideration (with respect to a share of Alliance Common Stock representing the right to receive the Cash Consideration) or the Stock Consideration (with respect to a share of Alliance Common Stock representing the right to receive the Stock Consideration).

b. Adjustment to Merger Consideration. i. In the event that the amount of Alliance’s shareholders’ equity at the month-end prior to the Effective Time has declined by more than ten percent (10%) from the amount of Alliance’s shareholders’ equity reported in the audited consolidated financial statements of Alliance as of December 31, 2011 (the “Base Amount”), the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:

x. The Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the per share amount of the decline in Alliance’s shareholders’ equity that exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Base Amount, provided, however that in no event shall the Cash Consideration be reduced by more than a per share amount of ten percent (10%) of the Base Amount; and

y. The Stock Consideration shall be reduced by adjusting the Conversion Ratio to equal the per share amount of the Cash Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to Section 6.b.i.x, divided by $11.95.

ii. When calculating the percentage decline in Alliance’s shareholders’ equity pursuant to this Section 6.b, the following items shall be excluded from such calculation: (i) any change (positive or negative) attributable to changes in the deferred tax asset account or related valuation allowance, the FHLB advance account, the accumulated other comprehensive income account, (ii) effects (positive or negative) from changes, after the date hereof, in generally accepted accounting principles or regulatory principles generally applicable to banks but only to the extent the effect on Alliance and Alliance Bank Corporation (“Alliance Bank”), taken as a whole, is not materially worse than the effect on similarly situated banks and their holding companies, (iii) expenses (such as customary legal, accounting and investment advisor fees) incurred in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, by and among WFBI, Alliance and Alliance Bank, dated as of May 3, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”) and/or (iv) effects (positive or negative) from actions and omissions of Alliance and Alliance Bank taken at the request of, or with the prior written consent of, WFBI in contemplation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

c. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of WFBI Common Stock shall be issued in respect of shares of Alliance Common Stock that are to be converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of WFBI Common Stock. Each holder of a Certificate (other than holders of Certificates representing Excluded Shares) shall be entitled to receive in lieu of any fractional share of WFBI Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled pursuant to Sections 6.a and 7 an amount in cash (without interest), rounded to the nearest whole cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards), equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the fractional share of WFBI Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of Alliance Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time and the provisions of Section 7 below) by (ii) $11.95.

A-4

d. Adjustment for Dividends on WFBI Common Stock. If, on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, WFBI splits, combines into a smaller number of shares, or issues by reclassification any shares of WFBI Common Stock, then the Stock Consideration and any dependent items shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Alliance Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to such action, and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Stock Consideration or other dependent item, as applicable, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this sentence.

e. Alliance Common Stock Held by Subsidiaries. All shares of Alliance Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by WFBI or any of WFBI’s or Alliance’s respective wholly owned subsidiaries (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like or shares held in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall be cancelled and retired and shall not represent capital stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be exchanged for the Merger Consideration; such cancelled and retired shares are referred to herein as the “Excluded Shares”.

f. Alliance Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each option (the “Alliance Options”), whether or not vested or exercisable, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Alliance 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated (the “Alliance 1999 Plan”), and the Alliance 2007 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Alliance 2007 Plan” and together with the Alliance 1999 Plan, the “Alliance Stock Plans”) will by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of an Alliance Option be cancelled as of the Effective Time solely in exchange for the right to receive as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash (less any applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Alliance Common Stock subject to such Alliance Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the difference, if positive, between (A) the Cash Consideration and (B) the exercise price per share of Alliance Common Stock subject to such Alliance Option. Prior to the Effective Time, Alliance shall take any and all actions under the Alliance Stock Plans necessary to effectuate this Section 6.f.

7. Alliance Common Stock Exchange Procedures.

a. Exchange Agent; Merger Consideration. WFBI shall appoint its transfer agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., or, with the written consent of Alliance, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, another agent independent of and unaffiliated with WFBI or Alliance (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of exchanging Certificates for the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, WFBI shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Alliance Common Stock and for exchange in accordance with this Plan of Merger, or shall duly authorize and direct issuance by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 7 of, (i) certificates representing the shares of WFBI Common Stock that constitute the Stock Consideration and (ii) an amount of cash necessary to pay the Cash Consideration.

b. Form of Election. i. WFBI shall prepare and file as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Merger a form of election, and other appropriate and customary transmittal

A-5

materials, in such form and containing such provisions as WFBI and Alliance shall mutually agree (collectively, the “Form of Election”). The Form of Election shall permit each person who, at or prior to the Election Deadline (as defined below), is a record holder (or, in the case of nominee record holders, the beneficial owner, through proper instructions and documentation) of any share of Alliance Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) to specify whether such holder’s shares of Alliance Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration. The Form of Election shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the completed Form of Election and any Certificates to the Exchange Agent. Alliance shall mail the Form of Election to all persons who are record holders of shares of Alliance Common Stock as of the record date for the Alliance shareholder meeting called in connection with the Merger (the “Alliance Shareholder Meeting”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Form of Election available to all persons who become holders of shares of Alliance Common Stock during the period between the record date for the Alliance Shareholder Meeting and the Election Deadline. As used in this Plan of Merger, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date that is two (2) business days immediately preceding the Closing Date (as defined in Section 10) (or on such other date as the parties mutually agree).

ii. Any such election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have received at its designated office, by the Election Deadline, a Form of Election properly completed and signed and accompanied by Certificates representing the shares of Alliance Common Stock to which such Form of Election relates (or by an appropriate guarantee of delivery of such Certificates as set forth in such Form of Election from a firm that is an “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); provided, that such Certificates are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time set forth in such guarantee of delivery). Any share of Alliance Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) with respect to which a proper Cash Election or Stock Election has not been made as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Non-Electing Alliance Share. All Cash Elections and Stock Elections shall be unconditional and irrevocable. After a Cash Election or a Stock Election is properly made with respect to any share of Alliance Common Stock, no further registration of transfer of such share shall be made on the stock transfer books of Alliance.

iii. WFBI and Alliance shall publicly announce the anticipated date of the Election Deadline at least five (5) business days prior to the anticipated Closing Date. If the Closing Date is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and WFBI and Alliance shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline.

iv. The good faith determination of the Exchange Agent (or the joint determination of WFBI and Alliance, in the event that the Exchange Agent declines to make any such determination) shall be conclusive and binding as to whether or not Cash Elections and Stock Elections shall have been properly made pursuant to this Section 7 and as to when Cash Elections and Stock Elections were received by the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to disregard immaterial defects in the Forms of Election. The Exchange Agent (or WFBI and Alliance jointly, in the event that the Exchange Agent declines to make the following computations) shall also make all computations as to the proration contemplated by Section 7.g, and absent manifest error such computations shall be conclusive

A-6

and binding on WFBI, Alliance and all holders of Alliance Common Stock. The Exchange Agent may, with the written agreement of WFBI, make any rules that are consistent with this Section 7 for the implementation of the Cash Elections and Stock Elections provided for in this Plan of Merger and necessary or desirable to effect the Cash Elections and Stock Elections.

c. Surrender of Certificates for Alliance Common Stock. All Certificates must be surrendered to the Exchange Agent within twelve (12) months of the Effective Time. In the event that any former shareholder of Alliance shall not have properly surrendered his or her Certificates within such period, the shares of WFBI Common Stock that would otherwise have been issued to such shareholder may, at the option of WFBI, be sold and the net proceeds of such sale, together with any cash in respect of fractional shares and any previously accrued dividends, shall be held by WFBI for such shareholder’s benefit in a non-interest bearing deposit account at WF Bank or another depository institution, the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, chosen by WFBI in its discretion, and the sole right of such shareholder shall be the right to receive any certificates for WFBI Common Stock which have not been so sold, and to collect cash in such account, without interest. Subject to all applicable laws of escheat, such amounts shall be paid to such former shareholder of Alliance, without interest, upon proper surrender of his or her Certificates.

d. Rounding of Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. All dollar amounts payable to any shareholder as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 6.c will be rounded to the nearest whole cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward), based on the aggregate amount payable for all shares registered in such shareholder’s name.

e. Automatic Conversion of Certificates. Following the Effective Time, Certificates which formerly represented shares of Alliance Common Stock which are to be converted into the Stock Consideration shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole shares of WFBI Common Stock into which they have been converted, except that until exchanged in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7, the holders of such shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions or payments in respect of WFBI Common Stock.

f. Lost Certificates; Failure to Surrender Certificates. If any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by WFBI, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as WFBI may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Alliance Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

g. Proration. i. With respect to all shares of Alliance Common Stock (other than the Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time: (x) the number of shares of Alliance Common Stock that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration shall be limited to twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Alliance Common Stock (the “Cash Conversion Number”); and (y) the remainder of the shares of Alliance Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration per share.

A-7

ii. If the aggregate number of Cash Electing Alliance Shares (such number of shares, the “Cash Election Number”) equals or exceeds the Cash Conversion Number, then the number of Cash Electing Alliance Shares of each shareholder of Alliance that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Electing Alliance Shares of such shareholder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Cash Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Cash Election Number, and the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Electing Alliance Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration per share. In no event shall WFBI pay Cash Consideration in an amount that would jeopardize the ability of the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

8. Amendment. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, this Plan of Merger may be amended by the Boards of Directors of WFBI and Alliance at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that any amendment made subsequent to the approval of this Plan of Merger by the shareholders of Alliance shall not:

a. alter or change the amount or kind of shares or other securities, eligible interests, obligations, rights to acquire shares, other securities or eligible interests, cash or other property or rights to be received under this Plan of Merger by the shareholders;

b. alter or change any of the other terms or conditions of this Plan of Merger if the change would adversely affect such shareholders in any material respect; or

c. alter or change any term of the Articles of Incorporation of Alliance or WFBI.

9. Abandonment. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Merger may be abandoned, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, without further shareholder action in the manner determined by the Boards of Directors of WFBI and Alliance. Written notice of such abandonment shall be filed with the SCC prior to the Effective Time.

10.	Defined Terms. As used in this Plan of Merger, the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below:

a. “Alliance Nominees” means three (3) current members of the Board of Directors of Alliance that WFBI shall appoint, at the Effective Time, as members of the Board of Directors of WFBI, to serve as directors of WFBI until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

b. “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

c. “Closing Date” means the date at which the closing of the Merger occurs; and
