Provided EXECUTIVE executes and does not revoke Section 7(a) of the Separation Agreement, EXECUTIVE will be entitled to the benefits listed below in this Section 10 in consideration for the release of claims.

10.1 Normal Retirement Benefits. EXECUTIVE will be entitled to all of the benefits in Section 9 that EXECUTIVE would have received had the employment terminated due to Retirement.

11. CONSIDERATION FOR NOT COMPETING.

11.1 Self-Imposed Limitation. In the event of an Eligible Termination Event (as defined in Section 10 above), EXECUTIVE may choose to indicate in the Separation Agreement that EXECUTIVE does not intend to engage in certain activities competitive to PREMIERWEST, identified in Section 2 of the Separation Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. For as long as EXECUTIVE does not engage in such activities, up to a maximum of one year (the "Optional Restriction Period"), PREMIERWEST will pay EXECUTIVE the consideration set forth in Section 11.2. Unless EXECUTIVE executes the Separation Agreement (regardless of whether EXECUTIVE revokes Section 7(a) of the Separation Agreement) and indicates EXECUTIVE'S intention not to engage in the competitive activities, PREMIERWEST will not compensate EXECUTIVE for refraining from engaging in such activities.

11.2 Amount/Payment of Consideration.

(a) As consideration for each month during the Optional Restriction Period that EXECUTIVE does not engage in the competitive activities, PREMIERWEST will continue to pay EXECUTIVE'S monthly Base Salary. Payment of the consideration will be made starting the next regular pay period following EXECUTIVE'S execution of the Separation Agreement.

(b) If the Eligible Termination Event occurs after a Change in Control, the monthly Base Salary payment shall be increased by one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of any bonuses or incentive compensation earned for the calendar year ended immediately before the year in which the Change in Control occurred, or the subsequent year, if ended, whichever is greater. For purposes of this Section, Termination for Cause or Termination for Good Reason will be deemed to have occurred after a Change in Control if termination of employment occurs after discussions between PREMIERWEST and a third party regarding a Change in Control commence, if those discussions ultimately conclude with a Change in Control.]

12. CHANGE IN CONTROL RETENTION BONUS. If EXECUTIVE remains employed with PREMIERWEST or its successor for six (6) months following a Change in Control, as additional compensation for assisting PREMIERWEST with the Change in Control transition and as a reward for continued service, upon termination of employment (other than

Termination For Cause), PREMIERWEST will pay EXECUTIVE an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest that would have accrued had PREMIERWEST, upon the six month anniversary of the Change in Control, paid to EXECUTIVE'S Deferral Account under the Deferred Compensation Agreement, an amount equal to one times the sum of (i) EXECUTIVE'S annual Base Salary and (ii) the amount of any bonuses or incentive compensation earned for the calendar year ended immediately before the year in which the Change in Control occurred, or the subsequent year, if ended, whichever is greater.

13. IRC 280G. If all or any portion of the amounts payable to EXECUTIVE pursuant to this Agreement, the Benefit Agreements described in Section 5.10 and the Stock Option Agreement described in Section 5.3, either alone or together with other payment which the EXECUTIVE has the receive to receive from PREMIERWEST, constitute "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or similar tax and/or assessment), EXECUTIVE shall be responsible for the payment of such excise tax and PREMIERWEST shall be responsible for any loss of deductibility related thereto; provided, however, that PREMIERWEST and EXECUTIVE shall cooperate with each other and use all reasonable efforts to minimize to the fullest extent possible the amount of excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If, at a later date, it is determined (pursuant to final regulations or published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise) that the amount of excise taxes payable by EXECUTIVE is greater than the amount initially so determined, then EXECUTIVE shall pay an amount equal to the sum of such additional excise taxes and any interest, fines and penalties resulting from such underpayment. The determination of the amount of any such excise taxes shall be made by the independent accounting firm employed by PREMIERWEST immediately prior to the Change in Control or such other independent accounting firm or advisor as may be mutually agreeable to PREMIERWEST and EXECUTIVE in the exercise of their reasonable good judgment.

14. CONFIDENTIALITY AND CREATIVE WORK.

14.1 Nondisclosure. EXECUTIVE covenants and agrees that he will not reveal to any person, firm, or corporation any Confidential Information of any nature concerning PREMIERWEST or its business, or anything connected therewith. "Confidential Information" means all of PREMIERWEST'S confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets in existence on the date hereof or existing at any time during the term of this Agreement, including but not limited to:

(a) the whole or any portion or phase of any business plans, financial information, purchasing data, supplier data, accounting data, or other financial information;

(b) the whole or any portion or phase of any research and development information, design procedures, algorithms or processes, or other technical information;

(c) the whole or any portion or phase of any marketing or sales information, sales records, customer lists, prices, sales projections, or other sales information; and

(d) trade secrets, as defined from time to time by the laws of the State of Oregon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information excludes information that, as of the date hereof or at any time after the date hereof, is published or disseminated without obligation of confidence or that becomes a part of the public domain (1) by or through action of PREMIERWEST, or (2) by or through action of another person not in violation of non-disclosure covenant with PREMIERWEST. This Section does not prohibit disclosure required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or a subpoena from an appropriate governmental agency or disclosure made by EXECUTIVE in the ordinary course of business and within the scope of his authority.

14.2 Return of Material. EXECUTIVE agrees to deliver or return to PREMIERWEST upon termination of employment, or as soon thereafter as possible, all written information and any other similar items furnished by PREMIERWEST or prepared by EXECUTIVE in connection with his services hereunder. EXECUTIVE will retain no copies thereof after termination of EXECUTIVE'S employment.

14.3 Injunctive Relief. EXECUTIVE acknowledges that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to PREMIERWEST if EXECUTIVE fails to observe the obligations imposed on him by this Section. Accordingly, if PREMIERWEST institutes an action to enforce the provisions hereof, EXECUTIVE hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law is available to PREMIERWEST, and EXECUTIVE agrees not to urge in any such action the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists.

14.4 Creative Work. EXECUTIVE agrees that all creative work and work product, including but not limited to all technology, business management tools, processes, software, patents, trademarks, and copyrights developed by EXECUTIVE during his employment with PREMIERWEST, regardless of when or where such work or work product was produced, constitutes work made for hire, all rights of which are owned by PREMIERWEST. EXECUTIVE hereby assigns to BANCORP and to PREMIERWEST BANK all rights, title, and interest, whether by way of copyrights, trade secret, trademark, patent, or otherwise, in all such work or work product, regardless of whether the same is subject to protection by patent, trademark, or copyright laws.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

15.1 Arbitration. The parties agree to submit any dispute arising under this Agreement to final, binding, private arbitration in Medford, Oregon. The disputes subject to arbitration include not only disputes involving the meaning or performance of the Agreement, but disputes about its negotiation, drafting, or execution. The dispute will be determined by a single arbitrator and governed by the then-existing rules of arbitration procedure in Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court, except as set forth herein. Instead of filing of a civil complaint in Xxxxxxx

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, a party will commence the arbitration process by noticing the other party. The parties will choose an arbitrator who specializes in employment conflicts from the arbitration list for Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court. If no such arbitrator is available, the parties will choose a similarly qualified arbitrator from any other arbitration list for other Circuit Courts in Oregon. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) days of receipt of the list of arbitrators, each party will select one attorney from the list, and those two attorneys shall select the arbitrator from the list (with each of the two selecting attorneys then concluding their services and each being compensated by the party selecting each attorney, subject to recovery of such fees under Section 15.2) . The arbitrator may charge his or her standard arbitration fees rather than the fees prescribed in the Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court arbitration procedures. The arbitrator will have full authority to determine all issues, including arbitrability, to award any remedy, including permanent injunctive relief, and to determine any request for attorneys' fees, costs and expenses in accordance with Section 15.2. There shall be no right to review of the arbitrator's decision in court. The arbitrator's award may be reduced to final judgment or decree in Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court.

15.2 Expenses/Attorneys' Fees. The prevailing party shall be awarded all costs and expenses of the proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, filing and service fees, witness fees, and arbitrators' fees. If arbitration is commenced, the arbitrator will have full authority and complete discretion to determine the "prevailing party" and the amount of costs and expenses to be awarded.

15.3 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an aggrieved party may seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court to preserve the status quo during the arbitration proceeding, provided however, that the party seeking relief agrees that ultimate resolution of the dispute will still be determined through arbitration and not through court process. The filing of the court action for injunctive relief shall not hinder or delay the arbitration process.

Exhibit A - Employment Agreement

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

This SEPARATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of this ____ day of _______, 20__ , by and among BANCORP, an Oregon corporation, PREMIERWEST BANK, an Oregon-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of BANCORP (the "BANK"), and XXXXX X. XXXXXXXX (the "EXECUTIVE"). (BANCORP, the BANK, and their subsidiaries and affiliates, including any entity or organization controlling, controlled by, or under common control with BANCORP or the BANK, are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively or individually as the "Corporation").

WHEREAS, EXECUTIVE, BANCORP, and the BANK entered into an Employment Agreement dated effective as of ______________, 2006 (as the same may be amended, the "Employment Agreement") which provided that the Corporation would provide certain benefits to EXECUTIVE after termination of his employment under certain circumstances specified in the Employment Agreement as consideration for EXECUTIVE'S for release of claims against PREMIERWEST and certain other benefits as consideration for EXECUTIVE'S agreement not to engage in certain competitive activities for a specified period of time;

WHEREAS, EXECUTIVE'S employment will terminate on __________, 20____ (the "Termination Date");

WHEREAS, EXECUTIVE has consulted with counsel of EXECUTIVE'S choice concerning this Agreement, or EXECUTIVE has chosen not to consult with counsel, and EXECUTIVE, and as applicable EXECUTIVE'S counsel, have had the opportunity to discuss with the Corporation the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Corporation and EXECUTIVE hereby agree as follows.

1. Consideration for Release of Claims. Provided EXECUTIVE does not revoke Section 7(a) and complies with the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation will provide EXECUTIVE the benefits set forth in Section 10 of the Employment Agreement.

2. Declared Intent Not to Compete. EXECUTIVE hereby indicates that EXECUTIVE intends / does not intend [indicate by crossing through the inapplicable language] to refrain from engaging in certain activities specified in Section 2.1 ("Competitive Activities") for some period of time following termination of employment. If EXECUTIVE has indicated an intent not to engage in Competitive Activities, in consideration for each month EXECUTIVE refrains from engaging in Competitive Activities, the Corporation will pay EXECUTIVE the monthly payments as described in Section 11 of the Employment Agreement until the earlier of (i) when EXECUTIVE engages in a Competitive Activity or (ii) the end of the Optional Restriction Period, which is [one year/two years] after the date on which EXECUTIVE'S termination of employment becomes effective.

2.1 Competitive Activities. Competitive Activities include:

(a) Becoming associated with any entity, whether as an owner, principal, partner, director, trustee, employee, agent, consultant, or stockholder (except as a holder of 1% or less of the outstanding voting stock of a company) that is engaged or proposes to engage in any business that solicits, deposits or offers loans and is located within a 30 mile radius of any of the Corporation's offices or branches (a "Competitor");

(b) Encouraging or soliciting or assisting any other person or firm in encouraging or soliciting any person who, during the two-year period preceding EXECUTIVE'S termination of employment, is or was engaged in a business relationship with the Corporation to terminate the person's relationship with the Corporation or to engage in a business relationship with a Competitor; or

(c) Inducing any employee of the Corporation to terminate employment with the Corporation and, either individually or as owner, principal, partner, director, trustee, agent, employee, consultant or otherwise, employing, offering employment, or causing employment to be offered to any person who is or was employed by the Corporation unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by such entity for a period of at least six months.

2.2 Notice of Activities. If EXECUTIVE has indicated above an intent not to engage in Competitive Activities, EXECUTIVE will notify the Corporation before engaging in any such activities. If EXECUTIVE fails to give such notice and continues to receive payments under this Section, EXECUTIVE shall not be entitled to keep any payments received after engaging in a Competitive Activity.

2.3 Not Enforceable Covenant. This is not a covenant not to compete and the Corporation may not seek injunctive relief to prohibit EXECUTIVE from engaging in a Competitive Activity. If EXECUTIVE chooses to engage in a Competitive Activity, the Corporation will cease making monthly payments of the consideration.

3. Nondisclosure. EXECUTIVE covenants and agrees that he will not reveal to any person, firm, or corporation any Confidential Information of any nature concerning the Corporation or concerning the business of any of them. As used in this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" means all of the Corporation's confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets in existence on the date hereof or existing at any time during the term of this Agreement, including but not limited to -

     (a) the whole or any portion or phase of any business plans, financial information, purchasing data, supplier data, accounting data, or other financial information,

     (b) the whole or any portion or phase of any research and development information, design procedures, algorithms or processes, or other technical information,

     (c) the whole or any portion or phase of any marketing or sales information, sales records, customer lists, prices, sales projections, or other sales information, and

(d) trade secrets, as defined from time to time by the laws of the State of Oregon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information excludes information that, as of the date hereof or at any time after the date hereof, is published or disseminated without obligation of confidence or that becomes a part of the public domain (1) by or through action of the Corporation, or (2) by or through action of another person not in violation of a nondisclosure covenant with the Corporation. This Section does not prohibit disclosure required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or a subpoena from an appropriate governmental agency or disclosure made by EXECUTIVE in the ordinary course of business and within the scope of his authority.

4. Return of Materials. EXECUTIVE agrees to deliver or return to the BANK upon termination of employment or as soon thereafter as possible all written information and any other similar items furnished by the Corporation or prepared by EXECUTIVE in connection with his service to the Corporation. EXECUTIVE will retain no copies thereof after termination of employment.

5. Creative Work. EXECUTIVE agrees that all creative work and work product, including but not limited to all technology, business management tools, processes, software, patents, trademarks, and copyrights developed by EXECUTIVE during the term of his employment with the Corporation, regardless of when or where such work or work product was produced, constitutes work made for hire, all rights of which are owned by the Corporation. EXECUTIVE hereby assigns to BANCORP and to the BANK all rights, title, and interest, whether by way of copyrights, trade secret, trademark, patent, or otherwise, in all such work or work product, regardless of whether the same is subject to protection by patent, trademark, or copyright laws.

6. Agreement to Cooperate with the Corporation Through the Date of Termination. EXECUTIVE agrees to cooperate as directed by the Corporation with the Corporation and its customers through the Termination Date and throughout the term of any post-employment consulting agreement, if any. If EXECUTIVE fails to cooperate to the Corporation's satisfaction as reasonably determined by the Corporation, EXECUTIVE shall be deemed to have resigned for purposes of determining benefits under the Employment Agreement, but the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

7. Release of Claims.

(a) Release and Covenant Not to Xxx. As consideration for receipt of certain benefits specified in the Employment Agreement, EXECUTIVE, on his or her own behalf and on behalf of EXECUTIVE'S heirs, executors, successors, and assigns hereby releases the Corporation, its directors, officers, executives, managers, and employees from any and all debts, claims, demands, rights, actions, causes of action, suits, or damages whatsoever and of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, contingent or otherwise (collectively the "Claims"), against the Corporation and the others released herein, relating to or arising out of EXECUTIVE'S termination, except to the extent such Claims cannot under applicable law be released. EXECUTIVE also covenants not to xxx or file or cause to be filed any complaint with any federal, state, or local agency or in any court against the Corporation or the others released herein regarding any matter related to EXECUTIVE'S termination of employment with the Corporation,

including but not limited to any Claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act or any similar federal, state or local law, except to the extent such Claims cannot under applicable law be released. The release of liability set forth herein does not extend to rights or claims that may arise from events occurring after execution of this Agreement, including but not limited to claims for the enforcement of this Agreement, or to EXECUTIVE'S exercise of rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 to continued insurance, if applicable.

(b) Acceptance and Revocation Period. EXECUTIVE shall have a period of 21 days from the date of delivery of this Agreement to accept Section 7(a) of this Agreement. EXECUTIVE shall have a period of seven days after his execution of this Agreement during which EXECUTIVE may revoke his acceptance of Section 7(a) of this Agreement by providing written notice of revocation to BANCORP. Any such acceptance or revocation must be addressed to the Chairman, BANCORP, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000 or such other address as EXECUTIVE may be directed in writing by BANCORP to provide such acceptance or revocation. To be effective, the acceptance or revocation must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time within the applicable time period. The 21-day acceptance period may be waived by EXECUTIVE, but the seven-day revocation period may not be waived. If EXECUTIVE'S acceptance of Section 7(a) of this Agreement is not affirmatively revoked in writing by EXECUTIVE during the seven-day revocation period, it shall be deemed to have been accepted and not revoked. Section 7(a) of this Agreement shall not be effective or enforceable until the seven-day revocation period has expired. If EXECUTIVE properly executes his right to revoke acceptance of Section 7(a), the remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

8. No Admission of Wrongdoing. EXECUTIVE acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement constitutes or shall be construed as an admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Corporation or the others released herein.

9. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Corporation and its successors and assigns.

10. Severabilitv. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. Any provision held to be invalid or unenforceable shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

11. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Oregon, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State.

12. Arbitration. The parties agree to submit any dispute arising under this Agreement to final, binding, private arbitration in Medford, Oregon. The disputes subject to arbitration include not only disputes involving the meaning or performance of the Agreement, but disputes about its negotiation, drafting, or execution. The dispute will be determined by a single arbitrator and governed by the then-existing rules of arbitration procedure in Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court, except as set forth herein. Instead of filing of a civil complaint in Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court, a party will commence the arbitration process by noticing the other party. The parties will choose

an arbitrator who specializes in employment conflicts from the arbitration list for Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court. If no such arbitrator is available, the parties will choose a similarly qualified arbitrator from any other arbitration list for other Circuit Courts in Oregon. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) days of receipt of the list of arbitrators, each party will select one attorney from the list, and those two attorneys shall select the arbitrator from the list (with each of the two selecting attorneys then concluding their services and each being compensated by the party selecting each attorney, subject to recovery of such fees under Section 13). The arbitrator may charge his or her standard arbitration fees rather than the fees prescribed in the Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court arbitration procedures. The arbitrator will have full authority to determine all issues, including arbitrability, to award any remedy, including permanent injunctive relief, and to determine any request for attorneys' fees, costs and expenses in accordance with Section 13. There shall be no right to review of the arbitrator's decision in court. The arbitrator's award may be reduced to final judgment or decree in Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court.

13. Expense/Attorneys' Fees. The prevailing party shall be awarded all costs and expenses of the proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, filing and service fees, witness fees, and arbitrators' fees. If arbitration is commenced, the arbitrator will have full authority and complete discretion to determine the "prevailing party" and the amount of costs and expenses to be awarded.

14. Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an aggrieved party may seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in Xxxxxxx County Circuit Court to preserve the status quo during the arbitration proceeding, provided however, that the party seeking relief agrees that ultimate resolution of the dispute will still be determined through arbitration and not through court process. The filing of the court action for injunctive relief shall not hinder or delay the arbitration process.

15. This Agreement is Not Exclusive. This Agreement does not supersede any other agreement to which EXECUTIVE may be party with the Corporation relating to noncompetition, nondisclosure, or the other matters referred to in this Agreement, whether those noncompetition, nondisclosure, or other provisions are contained in an employment agreement, a severance agreement, a salary continuation agreement, or any other agreement. This Agreement is in addition to any such other agreement(s). In case of conflict between this Agreement, on one hand, and any such other agreement(s), on the other, the Corporation shall have sole and exclusive authority to determine whether this Agreement or such other agreement(s) shall govern in the particular case and whether to enforce its rights under this Agreement, under such other agreement(s), or under both.

16. Defined Terms. Terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement.
