WEST COAST BANCORP EXECUTIVES' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

1.1

P URPOSE . Bancorp has established this Plan, originally effective as of January 1, 2005, for the benefit of its Key Executives and those of its Participating Subsidiaries. This Plan is primarily intended to allow these executives to save toward their retirement on a tax-deferred basis through voluntary salary reduction contributions. Bancorp anticipates that offering this deferred compensation arrangement will assist it and its subsidiaries in attracting, rewarding and retaining high-quality executive talent.

1.2

R ESTATEMENT OF I NTERIM P LAN D OCUMENT . The terms and conditions of the Plan were originally set forth in the Interim Plan Document for Operational Compliance with the American Jobs Creation Act, effective January 1, 2005 (the “Interim Plan Document”). As expressly stated in the Interim Plan Document, it was intended to be supplanted by a formal, permanent plan document following issuance of appropriate guidance by the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service regarding the requirements for complying with Code § 409A (rules pertaining to the taxation of nonqualified deferred compensation plans). Bancorp intends for this Restatement to be the formal, permanent plan document which contains the terms and conditions of the Plan and which supplants the Interim Plan Document.

1.3

ERISA E XEMPTION . This is an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. As such, this Plan is intended to qualify as a “top-hat plan” exempt from Part 2 (minimum participation and vesting standards), Part 3 (minimum funding standards) and Part 4 (fiduciary responsibility provisions) of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted and administered according to this intention.

(c)
