STOCK CONVERSION, VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT
This Stock Conversion, Voting and Support Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Columbia Banking System, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Purchaser”), and Castle Creek Capital Partners IV, LP (“Shareholder”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, Purchaser and West Coast Bancorp, an Oregon corporation (“Company”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended or supplemented, the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of a newly formed subsidiary of Purchaser with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and, as part of a single integrated transaction, the merger of the surviving corporation with and into Purchaser, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares of Company Common Stock and/or the number of shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock set forth, and in the manner reflected, on Attachment A hereto;
WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to Purchaser entering into and consummating the Merger Agreement, Purchaser has required that Shareholder enter into this Agreement so as to make more likely the approval of the Merger by the requisite vote of Company’s shareholders and to promote stability between Purchaser and its substantial shareholders following consummation of the Merger;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
CONVERSION OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK
Section 1.01 Conversion. Prior to or effective upon consummation of the Merger, Shareholder shall exercise in full its conversion right in respect of the Merger as a Reorganization Event (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Amendment to Designate the Terms of Mandatorily Convertible Cumulative Participating Preferred Stock, Series B) to convert all of its shares of Series B preferred stock into the Merger Consideration pursuant to the rights of election set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Section 1.02 Other Documents. At the request of Purchaser and/or the Company and without further consideration, Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional conversion documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the conversion of the preferred stock contemplated by this Article I.
ARTICLE II
AGREEMENT TO VOTE
Section 2.01 Agreement to Vote in favor of Merger. Shareholder hereby agrees that from the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the occurrence of the Effective Time and (ii) the time this Agreement terminates under Section 5.01 (the “Support Period”) at any shareholder meeting of the Company to approve the Merger or any related transaction, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, Shareholder shall be present (in person or by proxy) and shall vote (or cause to be voted) all of its voting shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting, including all voting shares listed on Attachment A (together, “Owned Shares”): (a) in favor of approval of (1) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (2) any other matter that is required to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (3) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement; and (b) against any action or agreement that would impair the ability of Purchaser to complete the Merger, the ability of the Company to complete the Merger, or that would otherwise be inconsistent with, prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Section 2.02 Transfer Restrictions prior to Merger. Shareholder agrees that it will not, during the Support Period, except in respect of the Merger and receiving the Merger Consideration: (a) sell, transfer, assign, tender in any tender or exchange offer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or similarly dispose of (by merger, by testamentary disposition, by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntarily or involuntarily, enter into any swap or other arrangements that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of, enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, lien, hypothecation or other disposition of (by merger, by testamentary disposition, by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise convey or dispose of, any of the Owned Shares, or any interest therein, including the right to vote any Owned Shares, as applicable (a “Transfer”), or (ii) grant any proxies, or enter into any contract, arrangement or understanding with respect to a Transfer of the Owned Shares, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder may transfer Owned Shares to a controlled affiliate, so long as prior to such transfer, such controlled affiliate enters into an agreement with Purchaser pursuant to which such controlled affiliate agrees to be bound by (and has full ability to perform the terms of) this Agreement to the full extent Shareholder is bound.
Section 2.03 Inconsistent Agreements. Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except for or in a manner consistent with this Agreement, it (a) has not entered into, and shall not enter during the Support Period any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Owned Shares and (b) has not granted, and shall not grant during the Support Period a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to the Owned Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that Shareholder has received a waiver from the Company with respect to its obligations under Section 4.1(a) of the Investment Agreement by and between the Company and Shareholder, dated as of October 23, 2009, to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE III
STANDSTILL
Section 3.01 Limitation on Acquisition of Shares. Shareholder agrees that until this Agreement terminates under Section 5.01 (the “Standstill Period”), such Shareholder, individually or in concert with others acting as a 13D Group (as defined below) will not, and will cause each of its principals, directors, members, general partners, managers, officers and its controlled affiliates, not to, in any way, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, acquire, agree to acquire (whether by purchase, tender or exchange offer, through acquisition of control of another person or entity, by joining a
2
13D Group, through the use of a derivative instrument or voting agreement) or otherwise knowingly facilitate the acquisition of, any beneficial ownership of any capital stock of the Purchaser or its successors that would result in Shareholder and its controlled affiliates beneficially owning in excess of the greater of (X) an amount of shares equal to 4.9% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of Purchaser immediately following the Effective Time and (Y) the aggregate beneficial ownership, expressed in percentage terms, of Shareholder and its controlled affiliates of outstanding shares of common stock of Purchaser immediately following the Effective Time (giving effect to the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the issuance of shares of Purchaser common stock in the Merger and the issuance of any shares of Purchaser common stock obtainable upon the exercise of the such Shareholder’s Equivalent Warrants). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.01 shall not be construed to limit Shareholder from acquiring in excess of 4.9% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of Purchaser by virtue of the Merger. A “13D Group” shall mean any group of persons or entities that is affiliated and acting in concert or that holds or is formed for the purpose of holding, voting, or disposing any voting securities of the Purchaser which would be required under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to file a statement on Schedule 13D if such group were to beneficially own voting securities representing more than five percent (5%) of any voting securities then outstanding.
Section 3.02 Participation Limitations. Shareholder agrees that during the Standstill Period, Shareholder will not, individually or in concert with others acting as a 13D Group will not: (a) make or in any way participate in the “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission) with respect to any shares of stock of Purchaser; (b) propose any stockholder resolutions in respect of Purchaser under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise; (c) seek to call any meeting of shareholders of the Purchaser; or (d) seek to take any action by written consent of shareholders of the Purchaser; or (e) seek to advise or influence any other person or entity with respect to the voting of common stock of the Purchaser. Shareholder agrees that during the Standstill Period, that such Shareholder: (i) except for pursuant to pledges, will not deposit any Owned Shares in any voting trust or, except as contemplated in this Agreement, subject any Owned Shares to any arrangement or agreement with any person or entity with respect to the voting of such Owned Shares; (ii) will not join a 13D Group or other group, or otherwise act in concert with any person or entity for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any Owned Shares; or (iii) will not, individually or in concert with others acting as a 13D Group, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, seek or propose (whether publically or otherwise) to effect control of the management, board of directors (including but not limited to a removal of a director) or policies of the Purchaser.
Section 3.03 No Restrictions on Voting. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Shareholder or its affiliates from voting shares of Purchaser capital stock in any manner. Nothing in this Agreement shall apply to any portfolio company of Shareholder with respect to which Shareholder is not the party exercising control over decisions to purchase or vote shares of Purchaser capital stock; provided that such portfolio company is not acting at the request or direction of or in coordination with Shareholder.
Section 3.04 Communications with Personnel. Shareholder shall communicate any comments or concerns with respect to the Purchaser or its subsidiaries directly to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Purchaser. If Shareholder wishes to communicate with other personnel of the Purchaser, they shall direct such requests to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Purchaser, who will facilitate access and communications consistent with the Purchaser’s protocol for such matters.
Section 3.05. Venture Capital Operating Company. From the Effective Time until the date that Shareholder and its Affiliates ceases to beneficially own shares of common stock of Purchaser in an amount at least equal to one percent (1%) of the total outstanding shares of Purchaser, Purchaser will
3
ensure that upon reasonable notice, Purchaser and its subsidiaries will afford to the Shareholder and its representatives (including officers and employees of the Shareholders, and counsel, accountants and other professionals retained by the Shareholders) (i) such access during normal business hours to its books, records (excluding Tax Returns and associated work papers), properties and personnel and to such other information as the Shareholder may reasonably request and (ii) reasonable opportunities to routinely consult with and advise the management of the Parent and its subsidiaries, on matters relating to the operation of the Purchaser and its subsidiaries. The Purchaser agrees to consider, in good faith, the recommendations of the Shareholder or its designated representative in connection with the matters on which it is consulted as described above, recognizing that the ultimate discretion with respect to all such matters shall be retained by the Purchaser. This Section 3.05 shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 5.02 of this Agreement.

brought in any federal or state court located in the State of Washington.

SECTION 6.07 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Accordingly, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Shareholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which Purchaser may be entitled (including monetary damages), Purchaser shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof. Shareholder further agrees that neither Purchaser nor any other person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 6.08, and Shareholder irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
Section 6.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
Section 6.10 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.
