Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by Shareholder to an Affiliate of Shareholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, satisfactory in form and substance to PCC, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

| 10. | Miscellaneous. |
(a) Entire Agreement; Amendment. The obligations of Shareholder set forth in this Agreement shall not be effective or binding upon Shareholder until after such time as the Merger Agreement is executed and delivered by Foundation Bancorp, the Bank, PCC and PCB, and this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the parties hereto.
4
(b) Waiver. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by such party.
(c) Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, this being in addition to any other remedies to which they are entitled at law or equity, in contract or tort or any other claims. Each of the parties further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
(d) Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes and controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by and subject to the applicable federal banking laws of the United States of America and, to the extent state law would apply, rather than such federal laws, to the laws of the State of Oregon (determined without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof).
(e) Construction. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under Oregon law, and, wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in a manner that will render it effective and valid under Oregon law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or become invalid under applicable law, that provision will be ineffective only to the extent of the prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of the provision or the remaining provisions of the Agreement. The parties expressly intend and desire that any court holding any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as written substitute a provision that is enforceable and that most fully accomplishes the purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision and enforce the other provisions of this Agreement. Accordingly, if any provision hereof shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be amended to delete or modify as necessary the invalid or unenforceable provisions to alter the balance of this Agreement to render the same valid and enforceable.
(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each such executed counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such executed counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.
(g) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of PCC and without further consideration, Shareholder shall take such further actions, including executing and delivering such additional documents, as may be reasonably deemed by PCC to be necessary or desirable to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(h) Attorneys’ Fees. If any action is instituted to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover from the losing party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
(i) Confidentiality. Shareholder agrees, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement, (i) to hold any non-public information regarding this Agreement and the Mergers, other than information that is publicly known or hereafter becomes publicly known other than as a result of any action or omission by the undersigned, in strict confidence, provided that such Shareholder may disclose any such information to any legal, financial or other advisor to Shareholder who shall be under such obligation of confidentiality, and (ii) except as required by law, court order or other valid and appropriate legal process, not to divulge any such non-public information to any third Person.
5
(j) Action in Shareholder Capacity Only. Shareholder is entering into this Agreement solely in Shareholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner, as applicable, of the Shares and not in any capacity Shareholder or any officer, director, manager, employee or other agent may have as a director, officer, consultant or adviser to Foundation Bancorp. Nothing herein shall limit or affect the ability of Shareholder or any officer, director, manager, employee or other agent of Shareholder to act as a director, officer, consultant or other adviser of Foundation Bancorp or the Bank.
(k) Headings. The article and section headings in this Agreement are for the convenience of the parties and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
(l) Assignment. Neither party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that PCC may assign, in its sole discretion, all or any of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to any of its affiliates. Any assignment contrary to the provisions of this Section 10(l) shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
