Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; 
    Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of 
    Certain Officers. 

(e) At the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 17, 2007, Umpqua Holdings Corporation shareholders approved the adoption of amendments to the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) and adoption of the 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”).

The amendments to the 2003 Plan increase the maximum aggregate number of shares subject to awards that may be granted to an individual in a calendar year from 75,000 (100,000 in connection with initial hiring) to 125,000 and limit the number of restricted stock grants an individual may receive in any calendar year to 40,000 shares. A copy of the amended 2003 Plan is incorporated herein by reference to Appendix A to the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Proxy Statement”)

The 2007 Plan authorizes the issuance of performance-based restricted stock unit grants to executive officers and reserves 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the plan. The 2007 Plan provides for the following performance vesting criteria: net income; earnings per share; return on average equity; and total shareholder return. With the adoption of the 2007 Plan, the grants to the Company’s named executive officers described in the Company’s Proxy Statement became effective. The 2007 Plan is more fully described in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the annual meeting and is incorporated herein by reference to Appendix B to the Proxy Statement.

Effective with the approval of the amendments to the 2003 Plan, the Company entered into a Second Restated Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) with Mr. Davis. The SERP provides for a fixed schedule of annual retirement benefits, the amount of which depends on the timing and circumstances of termination of his employment. If Mr. Davis retires at age 62, his maximum annual benefit is $600,000 and at age 65, his maximum annual benefit is $850,000, paid until the later of his or his spouse’s death, with such payment period not to exceed 36 months after and to be less than 36 months prior to his predicted life expectancy at retirement. In consideration for agreeing to fix the benefit amount in the SERP, effective with the approval of the amendments to the 2003 Plan, Mr. Davis received a Deferred Restricted Stock Grant covering 38,284 shares, to be issued following termination of his employment, subject to vesting based on the timing and circumstances of any termination of his employment prior to age 62. A copy of the SERP is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and a copy of the Deferred Restricted Stock Grant is attached as Exhibit 99.2.

     THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective as of January 1, 2007 by and between Umpqua Holdings Corporation (“Umpqua”) and Raymond P. Davis (hereinafter referred to as “Participant”) and supersedes in its entirety the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan as restated on July 8, 2005.

R E C I T A L S

     A. Participant is serving as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Umpqua. The parties’ desire that Participant will continue to render valuable service to Umpqua in the future. This plan is intended to provide a financial inducement to Participant for continued service, as well as a form of compensation for doing so.

     B. Umpqua and Participant entered into an Employment Agreement dated effective as of July 1, 2003 (“Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Umpqua is obligated to provide Participant with a supplemental executive retirement benefit on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     C. The parties entered into a Supplemental Retirement Plan Agreement, originally dated effective July 1, 2003, which was restated on July 8, 2005. The parties intend for this Agreement to supersede that agreement and any amendments thereto, in their entirety.

     D. In consideration for Participant agreeing to enter into this Agreement, Umpqua has agreed to award Participant a deferred stock grant pursuant to a separate Deferred Stock Agreement. The effectiveness of this Agreement is conditioned on receipt of shareholder approval to amend Umpqua’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the limit of the number of shares subject to awards under the plan to an individual in a calendar year.

     ACCORDINGLY, subject to satisfaction of the condition for effectiveness of this Agreement set forth in Recital D above, the parties agree as follows:

The Plan also separately accounts for benefits that are provided in excess of the limitations on contributions and benefits imposed by section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as described in section 3(36) of ERISA, and such separate part of the Plan is intended to be an “excess benefit plan” exempt from ERISA pursuant to section 4(b)(5).

30126612.04


the date of Applicant’s termination of employment with the Umpqua. Furthermore, if payment of benefits is affected by this six (6) month delay in payment imposed by Section 409A of the Code and benefits under the applicable section were to be paid in installments, the aggregate amount of the first seven (7) months of installments shall be paid at the beginning of the seventh month following the date of termination of employment. Monthly installment payments shall continue thereafter as specified.

     Section 2.8. Death Benefit. In the event Participant dies prior to termination of employment with Umpqua, Participant’s beneficiary, as designated in writing to the Administrator, or if no beneficiary is so designated, Participant’s estate, shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the amount of the Account as of the date of Participant’s death. This death benefit shall be paid within three (3) months of Participant’s death.

     Section 2.9. Minimum and Maximum Term of Life Payments. If Participant is receiving payments under this Plan until his death, Umpqua and Participant agree that such payments will cease in any event no later than 36 months after Participant’s predicted life expectancy determined by Umpqua’s consulting actuaries at the time of Participant’s termination of employment, but, notwithstanding Participant’s earlier death, such payments will continue to a date 36 months prior to such predicted life expectancy, with such payments made to Participant’s beneficiary as designated in writing to the Administrator, or if no beneficiary is so designated, to Participant’s estate. Participant’s life expectancy shall be determined based upon the then most recently published life expectancy table by the Internal Revenue Services or other generally accepted reference source.

     Section 2.10. Early Payment for Unforeseeable Emergency. Participant shall not be entitled to withdraw any portion of the balance in the Account except that, in event of hardship caused by an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Administrator may, but is under no obligation to, distribute all or a portion of the Account. The amount distributed may not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the financial hardship plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship). In the event of any early payment, later benefits will be appropriately adjusted to reflect the early payment as determined by Umpqua’s consulting actuaries.

     Section 2.11. Withholding. Any payment or other distribution of benefits under this Plan may be reduced by any amount required to be withheld by Umpqua under any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or other requirement, now or hereafter in effect, of any governmental authority.

     Section 2.13. Account. The Account established under this Plan is an unfunded plan of deferred compensation. Benefits and interest earned hereunder are represented solely by bookkeeping entries on records maintained by the Administrator. No funds are held in trust or otherwise segregated for the sole purpose of paying Plan benefits. All Plan benefits are payable solely from the general assets of Umpqua. The Umpqua may from time to time reserve assets in a general account or grantor trust owned by Umpqua for the purpose of paying liabilities that are accrued under this Plan. The Participant (and his successors) shall have no legal or equitable rights, interest or claims in any specific collateral, property or assets of Umpqua, but shall be general unsecured creditors of Umpqua until benefits are paid hereunder.

     Section 2.14. Offset. Any amounts due to Participant hereunder may be applied by Umpqua to offset any amounts past due Umpqua from Participant, provided that such offset may only occur at such time and to the extent that benefit payments are due and payable.

     Section 2.15. Claims Procedure.

                           2.15.1 Interpretation. Any person desiring a benefit under, interpretation or construction of, ruling under or information regarding this Plan shall submit a written request therefor to the Administrator.

Any interpretation or construction of, and any ruling under, this Plan by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties.

                           2.15.2 Denial of Claim. If a claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Administrator shall notify the claimant of such denial and of his or her right to a conference with an individual designated in the notice for the purpose of explaining the denial. If the claimant does not want such a conference, or is dissatisfied with its outcome, he or she shall be furnished in writing, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, specific reasons for such denial, specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based, a description of any additional material necessary for him or her to perfect his or her claim, an explanation of why such material is necessary, and an explanation of this Plan’s appeals procedure as described in Section 2.15.3.

                           2.15.3 Appeal Procedure. Any person, or his or her duly authorized representative, whose claim for benefits under this Plan has been denied in whole or in part, may appeal from such denial to the Administrator by submitting to the Administrator a written request for review within seventy-five (75) days after receiving notice of denial. The Administrator shall give the claimant an opportunity to review pertinent documents relating to the denial in preparing his or her request for review. The request must set forth all the grounds upon which it is based, supporting facts and documents, and any other matters which the claimant deems pertinent, and the relief sought. The Administrator may require the claimant to submit such additional facts, documents or other material as it deems necessary or adv isable in making its review. The Administrator shall act upon a request for review within 60 days after receipt thereof unless special circumstances require further time, but in no event later than 120 days after such receipt. If the Administrator confirms the denial in whole or in part, the Administrator shall give written notice to

the claimant setting forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the specific reasons for denial and specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the decision was based. The determination of the Administrator upon such review shall be final and conclusive, but subject to any right of appeal under applicable law.

     Section 3.6 Qualified Domestic Relations Order Distribution. All rights and benefits, including elections, provided to a Participant in this Plan shall be subject to the rights afforded to any “alternate payee” under a “qualified domestic relations order.” Furthermore, a distribution to an “alternate payee” shall be permitted if such distribution is authorized by a “qualified domestic relations order,” even if the affected Participant has not separated from service and has not reached “earliest retirement age” under the Plan. For the purposes of this Section, “alternate payee,” “qualified domestic relations order” and “earliest retirement age” shall have the meaning set forth under Code Section 414(p).

*Denotes annual annuity (paid monthly) starting at age 62 or such later date termination occurs. Monthly payments continue for "Life" subject to Section 2.9 of the Plan.

NOTE: The liability residing on the general ledger would need to be adjusted to the adjusted annual benefit if the beneficiary becomes disabled, is terminated with or without cause, or if there is a change in control.

NOTE FURTHER: Annual annuity amounts for any retirement after June 2011 are as set forth in the above schedule and include the Offsetting Benefits. Annual Annuity payments (or death benefit) triggered by a termination of employment prior to July 2011 are determined by the amounts accrued by the Company in accordance with prescribed accounting rules. The above amounts are estimated based upon current assumption but do not currently take into account anticipated Offsetting Benefits. Therefore the amounts are somewhat over stated. Payments triggered by a termination prior to July 2011 are not subject to Offsetting Benefits.

Exhibit 99.2

UMPQUA HOLDINGS CORPORATION

DEFERRED RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT by and among Umpqua Holdings Corporation, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), and Raymond P. Davis (the “Executive”) is dated effective March 5, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).

RECITALS

     2.2 Vesting. The number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock subject to issuance under Section 4.1 shall be based on the number of Grant Shares vested, determined based on when and the circumstances under which termination of Executive’s employment with the Company occurs (including but not limited to death or Disability).

           (a) In the event of termination of Executive’s employment due to death or Disability, the vested amount of Grant Shares shall be determined based on Straight Line Vesting.

           (b) In the event the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause or Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, the vested amount of Grant Shares shall be the percentage shown in Column (A) multiplied by the applicable amount of Grant Shares under Straight Line Vesting. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive terminates his employment with Good Reason, the vested amount of Grant Shares shall be the percentage shown in Column (B) multiplied by the applicable amount of Grant Shares under Straight Line Vesting.

                             (A)     (B)  
Prior to:    Termination by Umpqua     Termination by

30126772.07
Deferred Stock Grant Agreement


and June 30, 2011. As an example, if Executive were terminated on June 30, 2009, two years before the June 30, 2011 date of full vesting, he would be credited with an additional year of service and the Straight Line Vesting amount under a Change in Control would be calculated as if he had been terminated at June 30, 2010.

     2.3 Adjustment of Grant Shares. If the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are hereafter increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of Common Stock of the Company or of another corporation, by reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares of Common Stock, or dividend payable in shares of common stock, the Administrator shall adjust the number and kind of Grant Shares. All adjustments made by the Administration, and the extent thereof, will be final and, binding on all parties.

      2.4 No Shareholder Rights. Executive shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Grant Shares until the date of issuance of such shares.

Article 3
Deferral Account

     3.1 Deferral of Dividend Equivalent. The Company shall establish the Deferral Account on its books for the Executive and shall credit to the Deferral Account an amount equal to the cash dividends that would have been paid with respect to the Grant Shares, had the Grant Shares been issued and outstanding as of the date of each cash dividend paid by the Company. Interest shall accrue on the Deferral Account at an annual rate, compounded quarterly, equal to the 5-year Treasury Constant Maturity rate published as of the last business day of the preceding calendar year. As of Executive’s termination of employment, any cash amount, and interest thereon, previously credited to the Deferral Account with respect to Grant Shares which are unvested as of termination shall be deducted from the Deferral Account and thereafter the Deferral Account will only be credited with an amoun t equivalent to dividends paid on the vested Grant Shares and interest thereon.

     3.2 Accounting Device Only. The Deferral Account is solely a device for measuring amounts to be paid under this Agreement. The Deferral Account is not a trust fund of any kind. The Executive is a general unsecured creditor of the Company for the payment of cash benefits. The benefits represent the mere promise of the Company to pay such benefits.

Article 4
Payment of Benefits

      4.1  Issuance of Grant Shares.

              4.1.1 Timing of Issuance. The Company shall issue certificates for the vested  Grant Shares within the seventh (7th) month following termination of Executive’s employment or in the event of Executive’s death or Disability prior to such issuance, within 30 days following such death or Disability. No fractional shares shall be issued.

          4.1.2 Stock Certificates. Stock certificates for the issued Grant Shares shall be registered in Executive’s name or in the name of his designated beneficiary or estate, as appropriate. Such shares shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation.

30126772.07
Deferred Stock Grant Agreement


               4.1.3 Restrictions on Issuance of Shares. The issuance of Grant Shares shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws. No shares may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the common stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance shares shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the issuance of shares, the Company may require the Executive to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. In the unanticipated event the Company is unable to issue the Grant Shares within the seventh month of Executive’s termination of service, the Company shall pay Executive the cash equivalent value of such shares based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the date of the cash payment.

     4.2 Payment of Deferral Account. The balance of the Deferral Account shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum within the seventh (7th) month following termination of Executive’s employment or in the event of Executive’s death or Disability prior to such payment, within 30 days following such death or Disability.

     4.3 Change in Time and Form of Distribution. The timing of issuance of the vested Grant Shares or distribution of the Deferral Account may not be accelerated except as permitted under Rule 409A of the Code. Any change which delays the timing of distributions or changes the form of distributions may only be made by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Executive and only if the following requirements are met: 4.3.1 The amendment to change the time and form of distribution may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made;

               4.3.2 Other than in the event of death or Disability (as defined under Rule 409A of the Code), the first payment or distribution with respect to such amendment must be deferred for a period of at least 5 years from the date such payment or distribution would otherwise have been made; and

               4.3.3 Any amendment related to a payment or distribution to be made at a specified time may not be made less than 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment or distribution.

Article 5
Death Benefit

     In the event of the Executive’s death before the benefit payments have been made under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the unpaid benefits to the Executive’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary is designated, to the Executive’s estate, at the same time and in the same amounts they would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived.

Article 6
Beneficiaries

     6.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries by filing a written designation with the Company. The Executive may revoke or modify the

5

30126772.07
Deferred Stock Grant Agreement


designation at any time by filing a new designation. However, designations will only be effective if signed by the Executive and received by the Company during the Executive’s lifetime. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, all payments and distributions shall be made to the Executive’s estate.

     6.2 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Company may pay or distribute such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Company may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Company from all liability with respect to such benefit.

Article 7
Tax Withholding

     7.1 Payment Obligation. Prior to the issuance of Grant Shares or payment of amounts from the Deferral Account, Executive must pay to the Company or make adequate provision for the payment of federal, state, and local taxes and FICA withholding requirements (“Tax Withholding”). By accepting the award represented by this Agreement, Executive shall be deemed to have consented to the Company withholding the amount of any Tax Withholding from any amounts payable by the Company to Executive. No shares of common stock will be issued unless and until payment or adequate provision for payment of the Tax Withholding has been made. If the Company later determines that additional Tax Withholding was or has become required beyond any amount paid or provided for by Executive, Executive will pay such additional amount to the Company immediately upon demand by the Company. If Executive fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company may withhold that amount from other amounts payable by the Company to Executive, including salary or any bonus.

     7.2 Alternative Payment Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may allow the Participant to pay tax withholding (i) in cash (including by check), (ii) by the Company withholding such amount from other amounts payable by the Company to the Participant, including salary, (iii) by surrender of shares of common stock or other securities of the Company in the manner specified in Section 8.4 of the Plan, (iv) by the application of shares of stock to be issued under this Agreement up to an amount not greater than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding rate for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income, or (v) any combination of the foregoing.

If the claimant does not want such a conference, or is dissatisfied with its outcome, he or she shall be furnished in writing, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, specific reasons for such denial, specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based, a description of any additional material necessary for him or her to perfect his or her claim, an explanation of why such material is necessary, and an explanation of this Plan’s appeals procedure as described in Section 9.2.3.

          9.2.3 Appeal Procedure. Any person, or his or her duly authorized representative, whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied in whole or in part, may appeal from such denial to the Administrator by submitting to the Administrator a written request for review within seventy-five (75) days after receiving notice of denial. The Administrator shall give the claimant an opportunity to review pertinent documents relating to the denial in preparing his or her request for review. The request must set forth all the grounds upon which it is based, supporting facts and documents, and any other matters which the claimant deems pertinent, and the relief sought. The Administrator may require the claimant to submit such additional facts, documents or other material as it deems necessary or advisable in making its review. The Administrator shall act up on a request for review within 60 days after receipt thereof unless special circumstances require further time, but in no event later than 120 days after such receipt. If the Administrator confirms the denial in whole or in part, the Administrator shall give written notice to the claimant setting forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the specific reasons for denial and specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the decision was based.

Notwithstanding any other provision of Agreement, it is intended that any deferred compensation benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be provided and issued in a manner, and at such time and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance.

The determination of which benefits to reduce shall be made by the Executive, provided the Company’s accountants confirm that such reduction satisfies the requirements of this Section.
