2.1.2 Umpqua shall be the surviving corporation in the Holding Company Merger. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of Umpqua shall be the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation.

2.1.3 As of the Effective Time, each share of Umpqua capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Holding Company Merger shall remain outstanding and shall be deemed to be one share of the capital stock of the surviving corporation.

2.1.4 All shares of WSB Common Stock that are “dissenting shares” within the meaning of CGCL § 1300 (“Dissenters’ Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive Umpqua Common Stock unless and until such shares have lost their status as dissenting shares under CGCL § 1300, at which time such shares shall be converted into Umpqua Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1.5.

2.1.5 As of the Effective Time, each outstanding share of WSB Common Stock (other than Dissenters’ Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Umpqua Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio and the right to receive cash in lieu of any resulting fractional shares and any dividend or distribution pursuant to Section 2.3.3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Umpqua Common Stock will be issued and any holder of shares of WSB Common Stock entitled to receive a fractional share of Umpqua Common Stock but for this sentence shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof, which payment shall be calculated by the Exchange Agent and shall represent such holder’s proportionate interest in a share of Umpqua Common Stock based on the average of the per share closing prices of Umpqua Common Stock as quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or another authoritative source) for ten full trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

2.1.6 (a) As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Holding Company Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any such option, each outstanding option to acquire WSB Common Stock (each a “WSB Option”) shall be automatically converted into an option to purchase Umpqua Common Stock (each, a “Converted Option”) as follows: (i) the number of shares of Umpqua Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Converted Option shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of WSB Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the WSB Option, and (B) the Exchange Ratio; and (ii) the exercise price per share of Umpqua Common Stock shall be equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price of the WSB Option, divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Other than with respect to any WSB Options contractually required to become fully vested upon a change of control of WSB, all other terms and conditions of the Converted Options shall remain the same as the terms and conditions of the WSB Options. With respect to any WSB Option that is an incentive stock option within

the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, the foregoing adjustments shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b) Umpqua shall, as of the Effective Time, assume the obligations of WSB under all plans and agreements pursuant to which a WSB Option has been issued (the “WSB Stock Plans”) and shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Umpqua Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Converted Options. Umpqua shall cause the registration of the shares of Umpqua Common Stock subject to the Converted Options to become effective as part of a registration statement on Form S-8, or any successor or other appropriate forms, with respect to the shares of Umpqua Common Stock subject to the Converted Options promptly after the Effective Time; and, thereafter, Umpqua shall deliver to holders of Converted Options any applicable prospectus and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements, including the current status of any related prospectus, for so long as the Converted Options remain outstanding.

2.2 Transactions Pursuant to the Bank Plans of Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, promptly following the Effective Time:

2.2.1 Each of the WSB Banks will be merged with and into Umpqua Bank in accordance with the provisions of the Oregon Bank Act. The Bank Plans of Merger shall be filed with the Oregon Director for purposes of obtaining a Certificate of Merger.

2.2.2 As of the date set forth in the Certificate of Merger, each of the WSB Banks will merge with Umpqua Bank, with Umpqua Bank being the resulting bank and having its head office in Roseburg, Oregon.

2.2.3 Umpqua Bank’s Articles of Incorporation and Umpqua Bank’s Bylaws and the banking charter of Umpqua Bank in effect immediately before the date set forth on the Certificate of Merger shall be the articles of incorporation, bylaws and banking charter of the resulting bank.

Upon effectiveness of the Bank Mergers, each outstanding share of Umpqua Bank common stock shall remain outstanding as shares of the resulting bank, the holders of such shares shall retain their rights with respect to such shares as in effect prior to the Bank Merger, and each outstanding share of each of the WSB Banks held by WSB will be cancelled.

2.3 Exchange Procedures.

2.3.1 Prior to the Effective Date, Umpqua shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to WSB for the purpose of exchanging certificates representing shares of WSB Common Stock (other than Dissenters’ Shares) for Umpqua Common Stock as required by Section 2.1 (the “Exchange Agent”). On or about the Effective Date, Umpqua will issue and deliver to the Exchange Agent certificates representing a sufficient number of shares of Umpqua Common Stock issuable in the Holding Company Merger and an estimate of the cash required to make cash payable in lieu of fractional shares and, after the Effective Time, if applicable, any cash and dividends or other distributions of Umpqua Common Stock to be issued or paid pursuant to Section 2.3.3.

2.3.2 Promptly after the Effective Time, Umpqua shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares (other than holders of Dissenters’ Shares) a notice advising such holders of the effectiveness of the Holding Company Merger, including appropriate transmittal materials specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to certificates for shares of WSB Common Stock (“Old Certificates”) shall pass, only upon delivery of the Old Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof, as provided in Section 2.3.5) and instructions for surrendering the Old Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent. Upon surrender for cancellation to the Exchange Agent of one or more Old Certificates, accompanied by a duly executed letter of transmittal in proper

form, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to each holder of such surrendered Old Certificates new certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of Umpqua Common Stock (“New Certificates”), together with checks for payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares to be issued in respect of the Old Certificates plus any dividends or other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2, less any taxes required to be withheld with respect thereto.

2.3.3 Until Old Certificates have been surrendered and exchanged for New Certificates as herein provided, each outstanding Old Certificate shall be deemed, for all corporate purposes of Umpqua, to represent the number of shares of Umpqua Common Stock into which the shares of WSB Common Stock were exchanged pursuant to Section 2.1.5. All shares of Umpqua Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Holding Company Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Umpqua in respect of the Umpqua Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions which are declared on Umpqua Common Stock into which shares of WSB Common Stock have been converted after the Effective Date will be paid to persons otherwise entitled to receive the same until the Old Certificates have been surrendered in exchange for New Certificates in the manner herein provided. In no event shall the persons entitled to receive such dividends or other distributions be entitled to receive interest on such dividends or other distributions. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of WSB Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the WSB, a New Certificate, together with a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Old Certificate and any other dividends or distributions in respect thereof, may be issued and/or paid to such a transferee if the Old Certificate formerly representing such shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required by Umpqua and the Exchange Agent to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

2.3.4 Any Umpqua Common Stock or cash delivered to the Exchange Agent (together with any interest or dividends thereon) and not issued pursuant to this Section 2.3 at the end of twelve months from the Effective Date shall be returned to Umpqua, in which event the persons entitled thereto shall look only to Umpqua for payment thereof.

2.3.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if any holder of WSB Common Stock shall be unable to surrender his or her Old Certificates because such certificates have been lost or destroyed, such holder may deliver in lieu thereof a lost stock certificate affidavit and, unless waived, at the sole option of Umpqua or the Exchange Agent, an indemnity bond in customary amount together with a surety, each in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Umpqua or the Exchange Agent.

2.3.6 The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the shares of Umpqua Common Stock or WSB Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares of Umpqua Common Stock for the account of the persons entitled thereto.

2.4 Dissenters’ Shares. Any Dissenting Shareholder who shall be entitled to be paid the fair market value of such shareholder’s shares of WSB Common Stock, as provided in Section 1300 of the CGCL, shall not be entitled to shares of Umpqua Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio in respect thereof unless and until such Dissenting Shareholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Dissenting Shareholder’s right to dissent from the Holding Company Merger under the CGCL, and shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided for by Section 1300 of the CGCL with respect to such Dissenters’ Shares.

2.5 Anti-Dilution Provision.

There are no other compensation, employment, stock options, stock purchase agreements, life, health, accident or other insurance, bonus, deferred or incentive compensation, change-in-control, severance or separation, profit sharing, retirement, or other employee fringe benefit policies or arrangements of any kind that could result in the payment to any current or former employees, consultants or any of their beneficiaries of WSB or any of the WSB Banks of any money or other property. The only “employee welfare benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) sponsored or maintained by WSB or any ERISA Affiliate, or to which WSB or any ERISA Affiliate contributes (“Welfare Benefit Plan”) or are required to contribute, are as set forth Section 4.22 of the WSB Disclosure Schedule.

(b) There are no employment contracts entered into by WSB or any of the WSB Banks and no other deferred compensation contracts, agreements, arrangements or commitments maintained or agreed to by either of them that provides for or could result in the payment to any XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX, XXXX employee or former employee of any money or other property rights, in either case in an amount that would be material, or that would accelerate the vesting or payment of such amounts or rights to any employee as a result of the transactions contemplated herein. No such payment or acceleration set forth in Section 4.22 of the WSB Disclosure Schedule would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G.

(c) Neither WSB nor any ERISA Affiliate has maintained a single-employer pension benefit plan that is subject to title 1, subtitle B, part 3 of ERISA within six years of the date hereof (each, a “Pension Benefit Plan”). With respect to any such Pension Benefit Plan, the amount of liability for any contribution paid or owing with respect to such Pension Benefit Plan for the last or current plan year and the plan year in which the Effective Date occurs will be provided as Section 4.22 of the WSB Disclosure Schedule within two business days. Under each Pension Benefit Plan, as of the last day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date hereof, the actuarially determined present value of all “benefit

liabilities”, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in such Pension Benefit Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Pension Benefit Plan, and there has been no material change in the financial condition, whether or not as a result of a change in the funding method, of such Pension Benefit Plan since the last day of the most recent plan year.

Each Pension Benefit Plan and any related trust agreements or annuity contracts (or any other funding instruments) substantially comply both as to form and operation, with the provisions of ERISA and the Code (including Section 410(b) of the Code relating to coverage), where required in order to be tax-qualified under Section 401(a) or 403(a) or other applicable provisions of the Code, and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations; all material governmental approvals for the Employee Benefit Plans have been obtained; and a favorable determination or opinion as to the qualification under the Code of each Pension Benefit Plan described in Section 4.22 of the WSB Disclosure Schedule has been made or given by the Internal Revenue Service covering all tax law changes prior to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 or such letter or opinion has been applied for within the applicable remedial amendment period under Section 401(b) of the Code. No Employee Benefit Plan or Pension Benefit Plan is a “multi-employer pension plan,” as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA. To the Knowledge of WSB, all contributions or other amounts payable by WSB or any of the WSB Banks as of the date hereof with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan in respect of current or prior plan years have been paid or accrued in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, to the extent applicable, Section 412 of the Code, and there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of WSB, threatened or anticipated claims (other than routine claims for benefits) by, on behalf of or against any Employee Benefit Plan, or any trusts related thereto which would, individually or in the aggregate, have or be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to WSB.

(f) Neither WSB nor, to the Knowledge of WSB, any plan fiduciary of any Welfare Benefit Plan or Pension Benefit Plan, has engaged in any transaction in violation of Section 406(a) or (b) of ERISA (for which no exemption exists under Section 408 of ERISA or for which no exemption has been granted by the Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service) or any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code) for which no exemption exists under Section 4975(c)(2) or

(d) of the Code or for which no exemption has been granted by the Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service. To the Knowledge of WSB, neither WSB nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction in connection with which WSB or any ERISA Affiliate could be subject to either a material civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or a material tax imposed pursuant to Section 4975 or 4976 of the Code.

(b) After the Effective Time, Umpqua will either (i) continue the WSB employee benefit plans in effect at the Effective Date (provided that at renewal dates, co-payments, employee

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.12(a) with respect to individuals with employment or other agreements that provide for severance payments, WSB and the WSB Banks’ employees, who by reason of the Mergers become employees of Umpqua or Umpqua Bank and are thereafter terminated other than for cause by such entity, will be provided with severance benefits by Umpqua based on the Umpqua Bank Severance Policy as currently in effect as of the date of this Agreement, a copy of which has been provided to WSB. Consistent with Section 7.12(b), WSB and the WSB Banks’ employees who become entitled to severance benefits, whether as a result of the Mergers or otherwise, will receive full credit for prior service accrued (or otherwise credited) with WSB and WSB Banks, plus service following the Effective Time, for purposes of determining the amount of such severance benefits.

investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Umpqua shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant hereto if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Party acted in bad faith and not in a manner such Party believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of WSB.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 7.13, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Umpqua thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Umpqua of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party if such failure does not materially prejudice the indemnifying party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Umpqua shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Umpqua shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Umpqua elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Umpqua and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Umpqua shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Umpqua shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (b) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) Umpqua shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent; and provided, further, that Umpqua shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable law.

(c) Umpqua shall maintain WSB’s existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance for a period of 3 years after the Effective Time (or if the cost exceeds $300,000, such period that can be purchased for $300,000) or otherwise provide comparable insured coverage for such period.

(d) If Umpqua or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the surviving corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.13.

consummated arises out of or results from the knowing action or inaction of such party, which action or inaction is in violation of its obligations under this Agreement;

(c) By Umpqua, acting through its Board of Directors upon written notice to WSB, if there has been a breach by WSB in its representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein such that Section 8.8 or 8.9 would not be satisfied and which misrepresentation, breach or failure is not cured within thirty (30) days notice to WSB of such misrepresentation, breach or failure; or by WSB, acting through its Board of Directors upon written notice to Umpqua, if there has been a breach by Umpqua in its representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein such that Section 9.7 or 9.8 would not be satisfied and which misrepresentation, breach or failure is not cured within thirty (30) days notice to Umpqua of such misrepresentation, breach or failure;

(d) By WSB, if its Board of Director determines in good faith (after consultation with Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP) that such action is required in order for the directors to comply with their respective fiduciary duties under applicable law; or

(ii) “Initial Index” shall mean 3,126.17.

(iii) “Final Index” shall mean the average of the closing prices of the Index for the Umpqua Measuring Period.

(iv) “Minimum Adjustment Price” means $22.59, which represents 80% of the Umpqua Initial Price.

(v) A “significant decline” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Umpqua Measuring Price is less than the Minimum Adjustment Price.

(vi) A decrease is not “proportionate relative to the Index” if the quotient obtained by dividing the Umpqua Measuring Price by the Umpqua Initial Price is less than the quotient obtained by dividing the Final Index by the Initial Index and subtracting 0.10 from the quotient.

(vii) “Umpqua Initial Price” means $28.24.

(viii) “Umpqua Measuring Period” means the fifteen day trading day period ending on the fifth business day prior to the Effective Date.

(ix) “Umpqua Measuring Price” means the average closing price of Umpqua Common Stock on NASDAQ over the Umpqua Measuring Period.

Notwithstanding any decrease in the price of Umpqua Common Stock, as set forth in this Section 11.1(e), WSB shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(e) if Umpqua elects,

no later than the close of business on the second succeeding Business Day after the close of the Umpqua Measuring Period, to adjust the Exchange Ratio (a “Decline Adjustment”) such that the Exchange Ratio shall equal the number derived by multiplying the unadjusted Exchange Ratio times the quotient obtained by dividing the Minimum Adjustment Price by the Umpqua Measuring Price.

(f) By WSB or Umpqua, acting through its Board of Directors, if any Order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of any of the Mergers shall become final and non-appealable (whether before or after the approval by the shareholders of WSB or Umpqua).

(g) By either party if (i) WSB shareholders fail to approve the principal terms of this Agreement at a meeting held pursuant to Section 6.10 or any adjournments or postponements thereof or (ii) Umpqua shareholders fail to approve this Agreement, the Holding Company Plan of Merger or the issuance of shares of Umpqua Common Stock contemplated hereby at a meeting held pursuant to Section 7.8 or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1(g)(i) or Section 11.1(d), or by Umpqua pursuant to Section 11.1(c) and WSB enters into an Alternative Acquisition Transaction prior to the date that is 12 months from the date of termination and such Alternative Acquisition Transaction had been proposed prior to the date of the WSB shareholder meeting in the case of termination pursuant to Section 11.1(g)(i) or prior to the date of termination in the case of termination pursuant to Section 11.1(c) or 11.1(d); and provided that in any of such events if, at the time of WSB’s shareholder meeting there was no material failure by Umpqua to comply with the covenants set forth in Section 7 and to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 (if the shareholders of Umpqua shall have met by the date of the termination) and Sections 9.7 and 9.9, then WSB will, within thirty (30) days after Umpqua’s request, pay Umpqua the sum of $14,000,000 (reduced by any amounts paid or payable pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph).

11.1(c), then Umpqua agrees to pay to WSB its reasonable expenses incurred in entering into and attempting to consummate the transaction up to a maximum of $600,000; provided, however, if WSB has terminated the Agreement as a result of Umpqua’s willful failure to comply with any material covenant set forth in Section 7, it agrees to pay WSB an additional $3,000,000. This Section 11.2.3 shall be the sole remedy in favor of WSB for termination of this Agreement pursuant to the sections named in the first sentence, and WSB specifically waives the protections of any other legal or equitable remedies that otherwise might be available to WSB.

The consent provided for in this Section 12.2 shall not be required if the delay would preclude the timely issuance of a press release or public statement required by law or any applicable regulations.

No such waiver or extension of time shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other performance or compliance. No such waiver shall require the approval of the shareholders of any party.

12.5 Expenses. Each of the parties hereto shall pay their respective expenses in connection with this Agreement and the Plans of Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, except as otherwise may be specifically provided.

12.8 Representations and Warranties.

12.17 Material Change. As used in this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to Umpqua or WSB, any effect, circumstance, occurrence or change that (i) is material and adverse to the financial position, results of operations or business of Umpqua and Umpqua Subsidiaries taken as a whole or WSB and WSB Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as the case may be, or (ii) would materially impair the ability of either Umpqua or WSB, respectively, to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially threaten or materially impede the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that a material adverse effect or change shall not be deemed to include the impact of: (a) changes in banking and similar laws of general applicability or interpretations thereof by governmental authorities; (b) changes in GAAP or regulatory accounting requirements applicable to banks and their holding companies generally; (c) any modifications or changes to valuation policies and practices in connection with the Merger or restructuring charges taken in connection with the Merger, in each case in accordance with GAAP; (d) actions taken or not taken by WSB in compliance with Schedule 6.13; (e) any failure by WSB and the WSB Banks or Umpqua and Umpqua Bank, as the case may be, to meet any published analyst estimates of revenues or earnings for any period ending on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing; provided that the exception in this clause shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect, circumstance or development underlying such failure has resulted in, or contributed to, a Material Adverse Effect; (f) a decline in the price of the shares of WSB or Umpqua Common Stock on NASDAQ; provided, that, the exception in this clause shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect, circumstance or development underlying such decline has resulted in, or contributed to, a
