For purposes of this Section 5(b), no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of Employer. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Bancorp Board, the Bank Board or upon the instructions of the Bancorp Board, Bank Board or the Bank CEO or based upon the advice of counsel for Employer shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of Employer. In order to invoke a termination for Cause on any of the grounds enumerated under Section 5(b)(ii) or Section 5(b)(iv), Employer must provide written notice to the Executive of the existence of such grounds within 30 days following Employer’s knowledge of the existence of such grounds, specifying in reasonable detail the grounds constituting Cause, and the Executive shall have 30 days following receipt of such written notice during which he may remedy the ground if such ground is reasonably subject to cure.

In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, a “Non-Acquisition Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if, as of the 121 day anniversary of the Effective Date, the CS Option shall not have been exercised (or, if exercised, the CS Financial Acquisition contemplated thereby shall have been terminated on or prior to the 121 day anniversary of the Effective Date).

  (c)        Good Reason. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive with or without Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, in the absence of a written consent of the Executive, any of the following:

  (i)    the assignment to the Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements, in the context of

 

11


the Employer’s Residential Lending Division and/or any other residential mortgage lending business established or acquired after the date hereof by Bank and/or Bancorp or their controlled affiliates), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 3(a) of this Agreement, or any other action by Employer which results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities;

 (ii)    any material breach of any of the provisions of Section 3(b) of this Agreement;

(iii)    any requirement by Employer that the Executive’s services be rendered primarily at a location or locations other than Santa Monica, Beverly Hills or Irvine, California; or

(iv)    any failure by Employer to comply with Section 10(c) of this Agreement.

In order to invoke a termination for Good Reason, the Executive shall provide written notice to Employer of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clauses (i) through (iv) within 90 days following the Executive’s knowledge of the initial existence of such condition or conditions and Employer shall have 30 days following receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”) during which it may remedy the condition if such condition is reasonably subject to cure. In the event that Employer fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the applicable Cure Period, the Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) must occur, if at all, within 60 days following such Cure Period in order for such termination as a result of such condition to constitute a termination for Good Reason.

  (d)        Notice of Termination. Any termination by Employer for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, or by Employer or the Executive as a Non-Acquisition Termination shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 11(b) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or Employer to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason, Cause or a Non-Acquisition Event, as applicable, shall not waive any right of the Executive or Employer, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or Employer, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or Employer’s rights hereunder.

  (e)        Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer for Cause, or by the Executive with or without Good Reason (other than as a Non-Acquisition Termination), or by Employer or the Executive as a Non-Acquisition Termination, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein within 30 days of such notice, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer other than for Cause or Disability (and other than a Non-Acquisition

 

12


Termination), the Date of Termination shall be the date on which Employer notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

  6.         Obligations of Employer upon Termination. (a) Good Reason; Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability; Non-Acquisition Termination. If, during the Employment Period, Employer shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause, death or Disability, the Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason or the Executive or Employer shall terminate employment as a Non-Acquisition Termination:

 (i)    Employer shall pay to the Executive the aggregate of the following amounts:

A.   to the extent not previously paid, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination, the sum of (1) the Executive’s accrued Annual Base Salary and any accrued vacation pay through the Date of Termination, (2) the Executive’s business expenses that have not been reimbursed by Employer as of the Date of Termination that were incurred by the Executive prior to the Date of Termination in accordance with the applicable Employer policy, and (3) the Executive’s Annual Bonus earned for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs to the extent such bonus has been determined but not paid as of the Date of Termination (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1) through (3), shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”); and

B.   to the extent not previously paid, in a lump sum in cash no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, subject to the achievement of any applicable performance goals required in order for the bonus to be deductible by reason of qualifying for the “performance-based” compensation exception of Section 162(m) of the Code, the product of (1) the Target Bonus (determined as though the Executive remained employed by Employer through the year in which the Date of Termination occurs) and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 (the “Pro Rata Bonus”); and

(ii)    Other than in a Non-Acquisition Termination, Employer shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to the product of (1) one and one-half and (2) the sum of (x) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary and (y) 400% of the quarterly installment of the Incentive Bonus in respect of most recently completed fiscal quarter of Employer as of the Date of Termination; provided, that if a termination of the Executive’s employment described in this Section 6(a) (other than a Non-Acquisition Termination) occurs within two years immediately following a Change of Control (as defined on Exhibit A hereto), in lieu of the forgoing amount, Employer shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to the product of (1) two and (2) the sum of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary and the Target Bonus; provided, further that the

 

13


applicable amount payable pursuant to this sub-clause (ii) shall be payable in equal installments over the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following the last day of the Executive’s employment by Employer in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll policies;

(iii)    Other than in a Non-Acquisition Termination elected by the Executive, any equity-based awards granted to the Executive shall vest and become free of restrictions immediately, and any stock options or stock appreciation rights granted to the Executive shall be exercisable for the remainder of their ten year term, without regard to any provisions relating to earlier termination of the stock options or stock appreciation rights based on termination of employment (the “Equity Benefits”); provided, that in the case of a Non-Acquisition Termination elected by Employer, Equity Benefits shall be limited solely to the vesting of the Initial Restricted Stock Grant and the Initial Stock Option Grant, in each case that would have occurred had the Employee remained employed with the Employer pursuant to the terms hereof through the first anniversary of the Effective Date;

(iv)    Other than in a Non-Acquisition Termination, for either (A) the eighteen-month period following the Date of Termination or, (B) if a termination of the Executive’s employment described in this Section 6(a) occurs within two years immediately following a Change of Control, the two-year period following the Date of Termination, Employer shall continue to provide medical and dental benefits to the Executive and his eligible dependents as if the Executive remained an active employee of Employer, (collectively “Welfare Benefits”); and

 (v)    to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, Employer shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of Employer and its affiliated companies through the Date of Termination (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Other Benefits”). As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliated companies” shall include any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with Employer.

  (b)       Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of Accrued Obligations, (ii) the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits, (iii) payment of the Pro Rata Bonus, (iv) the Welfare Benefits and (v) the Equity Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination and the Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, on the date specified in Section 6(a)(i). With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 6(b) shall include death benefits for which Employer pays as in effect on the date of the Executive’s death and the continued provision of the Welfare Benefits.

  (c)        Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer by reason of the Executive’s Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for (i) payment of Accrued Obligations, (ii) the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits, (iii) payment of the Pro Rata Bonus, (iv) the Welfare Benefits and (v) the Equity Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid

 

14


to the Executive or his estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination and the Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid to the Executive or his estate or beneficiary, as applicable, on the date specified in Section 6(a)(i). With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 6(c) shall include, and the Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and the continued provision of Welfare Benefits.

(d)       Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by Employer for Cause or the Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason during the Employment Period (other than as a Non-Acquisition Termination), this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (i) the Accrued Obligations through the Date of Termination and (ii) Other Benefits, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.

Any amounts payable by Employer to the Executive pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) shall be subject to and conditioned upon the Executive signing and delivering (and not revoking) to Employer a general release and waiver (in the form attached as Exhibit B) and the first payment pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) shall be made on the 55th day following the Date of Termination (the “Initial Payment Date”), with any payments that would have otherwise been made during the period between the Date of Termination and the Initial Payment Date to be paid in a lump sum on the Initial Payment Date.

7.         Full Settlement. Employer’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which Employer may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. Employer agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest by Employer, any affiliates or their respective predecessors, successors or assigns, the Executive, his estate, beneficiaries or their respective successors and assigns of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement); provided, that the Executive prevails on at least one material claim.

8.         Section 280G. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Accounting Firm shall determine that receipt of all Payments would subject the Executive to tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the Accounting Firm shall determine whether some amount of Agreement Payments meets the definition of “Reduced Amount.” If the Accounting Firm determines that there is a Reduced Amount, then the aggregate Agreement Payments shall be reduced to such Reduced Amount.

(b)        If the Accounting Firm determines that the aggregate Agreement Payments should be reduced to the Reduced Amount, Bancorp, Bank or one of its subsidiaries shall promptly give the Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation

 

15


thereof, and the Executive may then elect, in his sole discretion, which and how much of the Agreement Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the Present Value of the aggregate Agreement Payments equals the Reduced Amount); provided, that the Executive shall not be permitted to elect to reduce any Agreement Payment that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and shall advise Employer in writing of his election within ten days of his receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Executive within such ten-day period, Employer shall reduce the Agreement Payments in the following order: (1) by reducing benefits payable pursuant to Section 6(a)(i)(B) of the Agreement and then (2) by reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii). All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 8 shall be binding upon Employer and the Executive and shall be made within 60 days of the Executive’s Date of Termination. In connection with making determinations under this Section 8, the Accounting Firm shall take into account the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by the Executive before or after the Change of Control, including any non-competition provisions that may apply to the Executive and Employer shall cooperate in the valuation of any such services, including any non-competition provisions.

(c)        As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement which should not have been so paid or distributed (each, an “Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement could have been so paid or distributed (each, an “Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against Employer or the Executive which the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive shall be repaid by the Executive to Employer; provided, however, that no such repayment shall be required if and to the extent such deemed repayment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is subject to tax under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

(d)        All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in implementing the provisions of this Section 8 shall be borne by Employer.

(e)        Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Section 8.

 (iv)    A “Payment” shall mean any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise;

  (v)    “Present Value” of a Payment shall mean the economic present value of a Payment as of the date of the change of control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, as determined by the Accounting Firm using the discount rate required by Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code; and

 (vi)    “Reduced Amount” shall mean the amount of Agreement Payments that (x) has a Present Value that is less than the Present Value of all Agreement Payments and (y) results in aggregate Net After-Tax Receipts for all Payments that are greater than the Net After-Tax Receipts for all Payments that would result if the aggregate Present Value of Agreement Payments were any other amount that is less than the Present Value of all Agreement Payments.

  (b)       During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending upon the second anniversary following the Date of Termination, but without limitation to any of the Executive’s other duties or obligations to Employer or any of its affiliated companies, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of Employer, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any person to leave his or her employment with Bancorp or Bank or any of their subsidiaries or assist in any way with the hiring of (i) any Bancorp or Bank employee (or any employee of any of their subsidiaries) by any other business (including without limitation CS or any CS Related Entity) (a “Relevant Person”) or (ii) any person who was a Relevant Person at

For clarification, none of Bancorp, Bank or any or their subsidiaries renounces or waives its ability to pursue, compete for, acquire or otherwise undertake any opportunity, and Bancorp, Bank and their subsidiaries may do so, whether or not such opportunity is presented or offered to them or to any other person, including those mentioned above.

The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

(b)        All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other parties or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

(f)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the compensation or benefits provided under this Agreement are subject to modification, as necessary to comply with requirements imposed by Bancorp’s or Bank’s boards of directors to comply with the “Final Interagency Guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Policies” issued on an interagency

 

19


basis by the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of Thrift Supervision, effective June 25, 2010, or any amendment, modification or supplement thereto, which shall be deemed to include, without limitation, any rules adopted pursuant to Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

(g)        If Executive determines, in good faith, that any compensation or benefits provided by this Agreement may result in the application of section 409A of the Code, Executive shall provide written notice thereof (describing in reasonable detail the basis therefor) to Employer, and Employer shall, in consultation with the Executive, modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such Section 409A of the Code or in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions and without any diminution in the value of the payments to the Executive. Any payments that, under the terms of this Agreement, qualify for the “short-term” deferral exception under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), the “separation pay” exception under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) or any other exception under Section 409A of the Code will be paid under the applicable exceptions to the greatest extent possible. Each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Executive is considered a ‘specified employee’ within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and if any payment that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement is considered deferred compensation subject to interest, penalties and additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then no such payment shall be payable prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day the Executive’s separation from service (provided that any accrued installments that would otherwise be payable during that six-month period are paid at the end of such period) or (ii) the Executive’s death. In no event shall the date of termination of the Executive’s employment be deemed to occur until the Executive experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the date on which such separation from service takes place shall be the Date of Termination. All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (A) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during one calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year; (B) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense is incurred; and (C) the right to any reimbursement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer makes no representation or covenant to ensure that the payments and benefits under this Agreement are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code.

EXHIBIT A

DEFINITION OF CHANGE OF CONTROL

For the purposes of this Agreement “Change of Control” means:

(i)        Any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of either (a) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of Bancorp (the “Outstanding Bancorp Common Stock”) or (b) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of Bancorp entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Bancorp Voting Securities”); provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 1(d), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (w) any acquisition directly from the Bancorp, (x) any acquisition by the Bancorp, (y) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Bancorp or any company affiliated with Bancorp or (z) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction that complies with clauses (iii)(a), (iii)(b) and (iii)(c) below;

GENERAL RELEASE

 

1. In consideration of the payments and benefits to which Jeffrey Seabold (the “Executive”) is entitled under the employment agreement entered into by and among the Executive and Pacific Trust Bank (“Bank”), dated as of May 13, 2013 (the “Employment Agreement”), the Executive for himself, his heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively “Releasors”) does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”), Bank and their subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions (the “Affiliated Entities”) and their respective predecessors and successors and their respective, current and former, trustees, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, agents, employees, consultants, independent contractors and representatives, including without limitation all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them (collectively, “Releasees”), and each of them from any and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, remedies, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, whether in law or equity and whether arising under federal, state or local law and in particular including any claim for discrimination based upon race, color, ethnicity, sex, age (including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967), national origin, religion, disability, or any other unlawful criterion or circumstance, relating to the Executive’s employment or termination thereof, which the Executive and Releasors had, now have, or may have in the future against each or any of the Releasees from the beginning of the world until the date hereof (the “Execution Date”).

 

2. The Executive acknowledges that: (i) this entire General Release is written in a manner calculated to be understood by him; (ii) he has been advised to consult with an attorney before executing this General Release; (iii) he was given a period of [forty-five][twenty-one] days within which to consider this General Release; and (iv) to the extent he executes this General Release before the expiration of the [forty-five][twenty one]-day period, he does so knowingly and voluntarily and only after consulting his attorney. The Executive shall have the right to cancel and revoke this General Release during a period of seven days following the Execution Date, and this General Release shall not become effective, and no money shall be paid hereunder, until the day after the expiration of such seven-day period. The seven-day period of revocation shall commence upon the Execution Date. In order to revoke this General Release, the Executive shall deliver to Bank, prior to the expiration of said seven-day period, a written notice of revocation. Upon such revocation, this General Release shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

 

3.

Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, this General Release shall not affect: the obligations of Bank set forth in the Employment Agreement or other obligations that, in each case, by their terms, are to be performed after the date hereof (including, without limitation, obligations to Executive under any stock option, stock award or agreements or obligations under any pension plan or other benefit or deferred compensation plan, all of which shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms);


  obligations to indemnify the Executive respecting acts or omissions in connection with the Executive’s service as a director, officer or employee of the Affiliated Entities; obligations with respect to insurance coverage under any of the Affiliated Entities’ (or any of their respective successors) directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; or any right Executive may have to obtain contribution in the event of the entry of judgment against Executive as a result of any act or failure to act for which both Executive and any of the Affiliated Entities are jointly responsible.

 

4. This General Release shall be construed, enforced and interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without reference to its principles of conflict of laws.

 

5. The Executive represents and warrants that he is not aware of any claim by him other than the claims that are released by this General Release. The Executive further acknowledges that he may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different than those which he now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this General Release and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General Release, may have materially affected this General Release and the Executive’s decision to enter into it. Nevertheless, the Executive hereby waives any right, claim or cause of action that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims or facts and the Executive hereby expressly waives any and all rights and benefits confirmed upon him by the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

 

6. “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

7. Being aware of such provisions of law, the Executive agrees to expressly waive any rights he may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect in any other jurisdiction determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to apply.

 

8. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this General Release shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under all applicable laws and public policies, but that the unenforceability or the modification to conform with such laws or public policies of any provision hereof shall not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of the General Release. Accordingly, if any provision shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable either in whole or in part, this General Release shall be deemed amended to delete or modify as necessary the invalid or unenforceable provisions to alter the balance of this General Release in order to render the same valid and enforceable.

 

9. This General Release may not be orally canceled, changed, modified or amended, and no cancellation, change, modification or amendment shall be effective or binding, unless in writing and signed by both parties to the General Release.

 

B-2


10. In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of this General Release, Bancorp and Bank would suffer irreparable harm, and in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, Bancorp and Bank shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof without posting a bond or other security.

 

11. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Employment Agreement.

* Gain of Sale from initial LHFI Loan Sales and Securitizations with profit measured from initial cost basis to sale with holding costs equal to interest received (therefore netting to zero for carry time). E.g. if an interest-only loan held in portfolio was originated for 100 and had 50bps closing fees and sells one year later for 101.5. The Gain on Sale is 1 point and there is no implied profits for holding period. If loan is amortizing the cost basis is reduced by amortization amount. The LLR is added back to loan value for cost basis.
