Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Bank are held by it under valid, subsisting, and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and facilities by the Bank.

The Bank has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and the Bank does not have any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. All premiums due and payable under all such policies and bonds have been timely paid, and the Bank is in material compliance with the terms of such policies and bonds. The Bank has not received any notice of cancellation of any such insurance, nor, to the Bank’s Knowledge, will it be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not be materially higher than its existing insurance coverage.

(t) Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Based upon the most recent evaluation by the Bank’s outside auditors of the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting, there are no significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Bank’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial information. From the period beginning December 31, 2012 and ending on the Closing Date, there has not been any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Bank is not a party to any employment, Change in Control, severance, or other compensatory agreement or any benefit plan pursuant to which the issuance of the Purchased Shares to the Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement would trigger a “change of control” or other similar provision in any of the agreements, which results in payments to the counterparty or the acceleration of vesting of benefits.

Neither the Bank nor, to the Bank’s Knowledge, any other party to a Material Contract, is in material default or material breach of a Material Contract and there does not exist any event, condition or omission that would constitute such a default or breach (whether by lapse of time or notice or both), in each case, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Bank as follows:

(a) Organization; Authority. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Purchaser, and has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company, or other power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery, and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Purchaser’s board of directors, general partner, managing members, investment committee or other authorized persons, as the case may be (if such authorization is required), and no further approval or authorization by any of such persons, as the case may be, is required. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by the Bankruptcy Exceptions.

-23-

(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery, and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement, and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any Law applicable to the Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights, or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.

(c) Investment Intent. The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Law and is acquiring the Purchased Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to, or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Laws, provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Purchased Shares for any minimum period of time and reserves the right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Purchased Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities Laws. The Purchaser is acquiring the Purchased Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Purchaser does not presently have any agreement, plan, or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute or effect any distribution of any of the Purchased Shares (or any securities which are derivatives thereof) to or through any person or entity.

(d) Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser has provided the information in the Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit E, which information is true, accurate and correct in all respects.

(e) General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Purchased Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication regarding the Purchased Shares published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other form of “general solicitation” or “general advertising” (as such terms are used in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and interpreted by the Commission).

-24-

(f) Experience of The Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Shares and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is capable of protecting its own interests in connection with this investment and has experience as an investor in securities of companies like the Bank. The Purchaser is able to hold the Purchased Shares indefinitely if required, is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Purchased Shares, and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Further, the Purchaser understands that no representation is being made as to the future trading value or trading volume of the Purchased Shares.

(g) Access to Information. The Purchaser is sufficiently aware of the Bank’s business affairs and financial condition to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Purchased Shares. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, management and representatives of the Bank concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Purchased Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Purchased Shares and any such questions have been answered to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction; (ii) access to information about the Bank and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management, and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Bank possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. The Purchaser has received all information it deems appropriate for assessing the risk of an investment in the Purchased Shares. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend, or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy, and completeness of the Disclosure Materials provided to the Purchaser and the Bank’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents. The Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal, and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Purchased Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that the Bank has not made any representation, express or implied, with respect to the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of any available information except that the Bank has made the express representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 of this Agreement.

(h) Brokers and Finders. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest, or claim against or upon the Bank for any commission, fee, or other compensation as a broker or a finder, or in any similar capacity pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Purchaser.

(i) Independent Investment Decision. The Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and the Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of the Bank (or any of its agents, counsel, or Affiliates). The Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Bank to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Shares constitutes legal, regulatory, tax, or investment advice. The Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax, and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Purchased Shares.

-25-

(j) Residency. The Purchaser’s office in which its investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares was made is located at the address immediately below the Purchaser’s name on its signature page hereto.

3.3 The Bank and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that neither party to this Agreement has made or makes any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Article III and the Transaction Documents.

Article IV

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, the Purchaser covenants that the Purchased Shares may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the OCC Securities Regulations, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the OCC Securities Regulations, and in compliance with any applicable state, federal or foreign securities Laws. In connection with any transfer of the Purchased Shares other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Bank, or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (provided that the transferor provides the Bank with reasonable assurances (in the form of a seller representation letter and, if applicable, a broker representation letter) that such securities may be sold pursuant to such rule), the Bank may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Bank and the transfer agent, at the transferor’s expense, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Bank to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred securities under the OCC Securities Regulations. As a condition of transfer (other than pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence), any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Purchased Shares.

(b) Legends. Certificates evidencing the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” Laws of any state and restrictive legends in substantially the following form, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c) or applicable Law:

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED BY THE COMMISSIONER OF THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS OVERSIGHT UNDER THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATE SECURITIES LAW OF 1968, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED WITH ANY OTHER STATE SECURITIES COMMISSIONER OR OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY IN RELIANCE ON APPLICABLE EXEMPTIONS. IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONSUMMATE A SALE OR TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OR A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE BANK REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION.

-26-

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN A STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 22, 2016, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE BANK AT THE BANK’S PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.”

(c) Removal of Legends. Upon the written request of the holder, the restrictive legends set forth in Section 4.1(b) above shall be removed and the Bank shall issue a certificate without such restrictive legends or any other restrictive legends (other than the legend described below in Section 4.2) to the holder of the applicable Securities upon which it is stamped, if (i) such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) such Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Bank to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the new holder is not an Affiliate of the Bank and the Bank receives an opinion of counsel for the holder reasonably satisfactory to the Bank stating that neither the holder nor the new holder of the certificate evidencing the Securities is an Affiliate of the Bank. Following the earlier of (A) the date on which an initial Registration Statement is first declared effective by the OCC or (B) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of Securities, without the requirement for the Bank to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to the Securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Bank, upon the written request of the holder, shall instruct the transfer agent to remove the legend from the Securities and shall cause its counsel to issue any legend removal opinion required by the transfer agent. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, Bank counsel, or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Purchaser. If a legend is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Bank will, as soon as practicable following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Bank or the transfer agent (with notice to the Bank) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer) and a representation letter to the extent required by Section 4.1(a), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive legends. The Bank may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1(c).

4.2 Purchaser’s Acknowledgement of Transfer Restrictions. The Purchaser acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the OCC Securities Regulations and the Securities Act and, accordingly, will not sell or otherwise transfer the Purchased Shares or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of the OCC Securities Regulations and the Securities Act. Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent applicable to the Purchaser’s Shares, while the registration statement referred to in Section 4.1(c) remains effective, the Purchaser may sell the Purchased Shares in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the registration statement, if applicable, and if it does so, it will comply therewith and with the related prospectus delivery requirements, unless an exemption therefrom is available.

-27-

4.3 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Bank acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Bank further acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to issue the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, are unconditional (except as otherwise set forth herein) and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay, or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Bank may have against the Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Bank.

4.4 Access, Information and Confidentiality.

(a) In addition to any rights provided in the VCOC Letter Agreement, so long as the Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, in the aggregate owns at least 1.0% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding, the Bank will (A) permit the Purchaser to visit and inspect, at the Purchaser’s expense, the properties of the Bank and the Subsidiaries, to examine the corporate books and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Bank and the Subsidiaries with personnel of the Bank, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times and as often as the Purchaser may reasonably request, and (B) make appropriate officers of the Bank and the Subsidiaries available periodically and at such times as reasonably requested by the Purchaser for consultation with the Purchaser or its designated representative with respect to matters relating to the business and affairs of the Bank and the Subsidiaries. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be conducted during normal business hours and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Bank.

(b) The parties to this Agreement will hold, and will cause its respective subsidiaries and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, unless disclosure to a Governmental Entity is necessary or appropriate in connection with any necessary regulatory approval, or request for information or similar process, or unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the written opinion of its counsel, by other requirement of Law or the applicable requirements of any Governmental Entity (in which case, the party permitted to disclose such information shall, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable, provide the other party with prior written notice of such permitted disclosure), all nonpublic records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the other party hereto furnished to it by such other party or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent that such Information can be shown to have been (1) previously known by such party on a nonconfidential basis, (2) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (3) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished), and neither party hereto shall release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, other consultants and advisors with the express understanding that such parties will maintain the confidentiality of the Information and, to the extent permitted above, to bank and securities regulatory authorities.

4.5 Intentionally Omitted.

-28-

4.6 No Integration. The Bank shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Bank shall, sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy, or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Purchased Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Purchased Shares to the Purchaser.

4.7 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of Purchaser. The Bank will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, and investment advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners, employees, agents, or investment advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses of any nature incurred by a Purchaser Party, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation, consultants’ fees, penalties and judgments that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur (“Losses”) as a result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements made by the Bank in the Transaction Documents to the extent the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $100,000 (other than in connection with any breach of the Fundamental Representations or covenants by the Bank in the Transaction Documents, in which case this limitation shall not apply); it being understood that once the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $100,000, the Bank shall be liable for all Losses under the foregoing indemnity provisions in excess of $100,000 (other than in connection with any breach of the Fundamental Representations or covenants by the Bank in the Transaction Documents, in which case this limitation shall not apply); it being further understood that the Bank shall not indemnify or hold harmless any Purchaser Party for any individual Loss or series of related Losses that do not equal or exceed $5,000 and any such individual Loss or series of related Losses shall not apply against the foregoing $100,000. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing, the Bank will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage, or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in the Transaction Documents or attributable to the actions or inactions of such Purchaser Party. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to purchase price for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law or deemed impermissible under GAAP.

(b) Indemnification of Bank. The Purchaser will indemnify and hold the Bank and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, and investment advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Bank (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners, employees, agents, or investment advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Bank Party”) harmless against all Losses as a result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements made by the Purchaser in the Transaction Documents to the extent the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $100,000; it being understood that once the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $100,000, the Purchaser shall be liable for all Losses under the foregoing indemnity provisions in excess of $100,000; it being further understood, that the Purchaser shall not indemnify or hold harmless any Bank Party for any individual Loss or series of related Losses that do not equal or exceed $5,000 and any such individual Loss or series of related Losses shall not apply against the foregoing $100,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser will not be liable to any Bank Party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage, or liability is attributable to any Bank Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements made by such Bank Party in the Transaction Documents or attributable to the actions or inactions of such Bank Party.

-29-

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by either a Purchaser Party or a Bank Party of notice of any demand, claim, or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding, or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Purchaser Party pursuant to Section 4.7(a) or by the Bank Party pursuant to Section 4.7(b) (the “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that: (i) the failure of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure to notify, and (ii) the Bank shall not be obligated to pay any fees or expenses or indemnify any Purchaser Party for any Losses until the Purchaser Party or Purchaser Parties have incurred, in the aggregate, and have documented to the Bank’s reasonable satisfaction Losses of not less than $100,000 (other than in connection with any breach of the Fundamental Representations or covenants by the Bank in the Transaction Documents, in which case this limitation shall not apply). In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in such proceeding and Indemnified Party is actually and materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure, or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

(d) Materiality Scrape. For purposes of the indemnity contained in Section 4.7(a) and 4.7(b), all qualifications and limitations set forth in the parties’ representations and warranties as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” and words of similar import shall be disregarded in determining whether there shall have been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representations and warranties in this Agreement and the Losses arising therefrom.

-30-

4.8 Certain Transactions. The Bank will not merge or consolidate into, or sell, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property or assets to, any other party unless the successor, transferee or lessee party, as the case may be (if not the Bank), expressly assumes the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the Bank.

4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Bank intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Shares hereunder to augment its capital position, support its operations, or for general corporate purposes.

4.10 No Additional Issuances. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, except for the Purchased Shares being issued pursuant to this Agreement and except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g), the Bank shall not issue or agree to issue any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities which provide the holder thereof the right to convert such securities into, or acquire, shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.10 shall restrict the Bank from issuing securities in response or pursuant to an order or directive by the OCC with respect to capital adequacy.

4.11 Conduct of Business. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Bank will: (i) operate its and their business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice; (ii) preserve intact the current business organization of the Bank; (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the services of its employees, consultants, and agents; (iv) preserve the current relationships of the Bank with material customers and other Persons with whom the Bank has and intends to maintain significant relations; (v) maintain all of its operating assets in their current condition (normal wear and tear excepted); (vi) refrain from taking or omitting to take any action that would constitute a breach of Section 3.1(j); and (vii) refrain from (1) declaring, setting aside or paying any distributions or dividends on, or making any distributions (whether in cash, securities, or other property) in respect of, any of its capital stock, (2) splitting, combining or reclassifying any of its capital stock or issuing or authorizing the issuance of any other securities in respect of, in lieu of or in substitution for capital stock or any of its other securities, or (3) purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring any capital stock, assets or other securities or any rights, warrants or options to acquire any such capital stock, assets or other securities, other than acquisitions of investment securities in the ordinary course of business.

4.12 Avoidance of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Bank shall not take any action (including, without limitation, any redemption, repurchase, rescission or recapitalization of Common Stock, or securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock), that would reasonably be expected to pose a substantial risk that (a) the Purchaser’s ownership of any class of Voting Securities (together with such Voting Securities owned by the Purchaser’s Affiliates (as such term is used under the BHCA)) to exceed 24.9%, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, or to increase to an amount that would constitute “control” under the BHC Act or otherwise cause the Purchaser to “control” the Bank under and for purposes of the BHC Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not have the ability to purchase more than 24.9% of the Bank’s total equity. In the event either the Bank or the Purchaser breaches its obligations under this Section 4.12 or believes that it is reasonably likely to breach such an obligation, it shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and shall cooperate in good faith with such parties to modify ownership or, to the extent commercially reasonable, make other arrangements or take any other action, in each case, as is necessary to cure or avoid such breach.

-31-

4.13 Most Favored Nation. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, the Bank shall not enter into any additional, or modify any existing, agreements with any existing or future investors in the Bank that have the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting such investor in a manner more favorable in any material respect to such investor than the rights and benefits established in favor of the Purchaser by this Agreement, unless, in any such case, the Purchaser has been provided with such rights and benefits.

4.14 Filings; Other Actions. The Purchaser and the Bank will reasonably cooperate and consult with the other and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all necessary and customary information and data, to prepare and file all necessary and customary documentation, to effect all necessary and customary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents as requested by the applicable Governmental Entity, including executing and delivery to the applicable Governmental Entities customary passivity commitments, disassociation commitments, and commitments not to act in concert, with respect to the Bank, and to obtain all necessary and customary permits, consents, orders, approvals, and authorizations of, or any exemption by, all third parties and Governmental Entities, in each case, (i) necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to perform the covenants contemplated by this Agreement, in each case required by it, and (ii) with respect to the Purchaser, to the extent typically provided by the Purchaser to such third parties or Governmental Entities, as applicable, under the Purchaser’s policies consistently applied, to the extent the Purchaser has such policies, and subject to such confidentiality requests as the Purchaser may reasonably seek. Each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver both before and after the Closing such further certificates, agreements, and other documents and take such other actions as the other parties may reasonably request to consummate or implement such transactions or to evidence such events or matters, subject, in each case, to clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 4.14. The Purchaser and the Bank will have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information and confidential information related to the Purchaser and any of their respective Affiliates, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions to which it will be party contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, the parties hereto agree to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The Purchaser and the Bank agree to keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters referred to in this Section 4.14. The Purchaser and the Bank shall promptly furnish each other with copies of written communications received by it or its Affiliates from, or delivered by any of the foregoing to, any Governmental Entity in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that the party delivering any such document may redact any confidential information contained therein. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.14 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser shall not be required to provide to the Bank any of its, its Affiliates’, its investment advisors’ or its or their control persons’ or equity holders’ nonpublic, proprietary, personal, or otherwise confidential information including the identities or financial condition of limited partners, shareholders, or non-managing members of the Purchaser or its Affiliates or their investment advisors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Purchaser shall not be required to perform any of the above actions if such performance would constitute or could reasonably result in any restriction or condition that the Purchaser determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, (i) is materially and unreasonably burdensome, or (ii) would reduce the benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby to the Purchaser to such a degree that the Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement had such condition or restriction been known to it on the date of this Agreement (any such condition or restriction, a “Burdensome Condition”); for the avoidance of doubt, any requirement to disclose the identities or financial condition of limited partners, shareholders, or non- managing members of the Purchaser or its Affiliates or its investment advisers shall be deemed a Burdensome Condition unless otherwise determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion.

-32-

4.15 Intentionally Omitted.

4.16 Notice of Certain Events. Each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto of (a) any event, condition, fact, circumstance, occurrence, transaction or other item of which such party becomes aware prior to the Closing that would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (or a breach of any representation or warranty contained herein or therein) or, if the same were to continue to exist as of the Closing Date, would constitute the non-satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article V hereof, and (b) any event, condition, fact, circumstance, occurrence, transaction or other item of which such party becomes aware that would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement had such event, condition, fact, circumstance, occurrence, transaction or other item existed as of the date hereof; provided that delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.16 shall not modify the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be required to take any action that would jeopardize such party’s attorney-client privilege.

4.17 Shareholder Litigation. The Bank shall promptly inform the Purchaser of any claim, action, suit, arbitration, mediation, demand, hearing, investigation or proceeding (“Shareholder Litigation”) against the Bank, or any of the past or present executive officers or directors of the Bank that is threatened in writing or initiated by or on behalf of any shareholder of the Bank in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Transaction Documents.

4.20 Registration Rights.

(a) If the Bank intends to file a Registration Statement covering a primary or secondary offering of any of its Securities, whether or not the sale is for its own account, which is not a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan pursuant to a registration statement on Form S- 8 (or successor form), a registration statement on Form S-4 (or successor form) or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Commission or any other similar rule is applicable, the Bank will promptly (and in any event at least ten (10) Business Days before the anticipated filing date) give written notice to the Purchaser and all other Holders of its intention to effect such a registration. The Bank will effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holder(s) request(s) be included in such registration (a “Piggyback Registration”) by a written notice delivered to the Bank within five (5) Business Days after the notice given by the Bank in the preceding sentence. Subject to Section 4.20(b), securities requested to be included in a Bank registration pursuant to this Section 4.20 shall be included by the Bank on the same form of Registration Statement as has been selected by the Bank for the securities the Bank is registering for sale referred to above. The Holders shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of the Registrable Securities from the Piggyback Registration at any time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Piggyback Registration. If the Bank elects to terminate any registration filed under this Section 4.20 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, the Bank will have no obligation to register the securities sought to be included by the Holders in such registration under this Section 4.20. There shall be no limit to the number of Piggybank Registrations pursuant to this Section 4.20(a).

(b) If a Registration Statement under this Section 4.20 relates to an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Bank that in its or their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Bank will include in such registration or prospectus only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Common Stock and other securities the Bank proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of the Holders who have requested inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.20 and the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned or controlled by John Farkash and Heidi Farkash to the extent either of them has requested inclusion of such shares, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such person, or as such Holders, John Farkash and Heidi Farkash may otherwise agree, and (iii) third, any other securities of the Bank that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of Section 4.20(c). The Bank shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the lead underwriter or underwriters in connection with an underwritten offering made pursuant to this Section 4.20. No Holder may participate in any underwritten registration under this Section 4.20 unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell the Registrable Securities it desires to have covered by the underwritten offering on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

(c) All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 4.20 (excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions), including, without limitation all registration and qualification fees, printing and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of the Bank’s counsel shall be borne by the Bank.

4.21 Governance Matters.

(a) Following the Closing and upon the written request of the Purchaser, the Bank will promptly cause Mr. David J. Volk or another designee of the Purchaser reasonably acceptable to the Bank (the “Board Representative”) to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors, subject to satisfaction of all legal and regulatory requirements regarding service and election or appointment as a director of the Bank, so long as the Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, in the aggregate owns at least 50% or more of all of the Purchased Shares and, in the aggregate, 5.0% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding (the “Minimum Ownership Interest”). So long as the Purchaser, together with its respective Affiliates, has a Minimum Ownership Interest, the Bank will recommend to its shareholders the election of the Board Representative to the Board of Directors at the Bank’s annual meeting of shareholders, subject to satisfaction of all legal requirements regarding service and election or appointment as a director of the Bank. If the Purchaser no longer has a Minimum Ownership Interest, the Purchaser will have no further rights under Sections 4.21(a) through 4.21(b) and, at the written request of the Board of Directors, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Board Representative to resign from the Board of Directors as promptly as possible thereafter.

(b) The Board Representative shall, subject to applicable Law, be one of the Bank’s nominees to serve on the Board of Directors. The Bank shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Board Representative elected as a director of the Bank by the shareholders of the Bank, and the Bank shall solicit proxies for the Board Representative to the same extent as it does for any of its other Bank nominees to the Board of Directors. The Bank shall ensure that the Board of Directors shall have at least four members for so long as the Purchaser shall have the right to appoint a Board Representative. The Purchaser covenants and agrees to hold any information obtained from the Board Representative in confidence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at all times when the Purchaser maintains a Minimum Ownership Interest, it shall comply in all respects with applicable Laws concerning equity investments in banks.

(c) Subject to Section 4.21(a), upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal from office as a member of the Board of Directors of the Board Representative, the Purchaser shall have the right to designate the replacement for the Board Representative, which replacement shall satisfy all legal, bank regulatory and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Bank and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Bank. The Board of Directors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take all action required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such person (including such person, subject to applicable Law, being one of the Bank’s nominees to serve on the Board of Directors), using reasonable best efforts to have such person elected as director of the Bank by the shareholders of the Bank and the Bank soliciting proxies for such person to the same extent as it does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors, as the case may be.

(d) Reserved.

-35-

(e) The Board Representative shall be entitled to compensation and indemnification and insurance coverage in connection with his or her role as a director to the same extent as other directors on the Board of Directors, and shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof in accordance with Bank policy. The Bank shall notify the Board Representative of all regular meetings and special meetings of the Board of Directors and of all regular and special meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors. The Bank shall provide the Board Representative with copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that it provides to all members of the Board of Directors at the same time such materials are provided to the other members.

(f) The Bank acknowledges that the Board Representative may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Purchaser and/or its respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitors”). The Bank hereby agrees that, with respect to a claim by a Board Representative for indemnification arising out his or her service as a director of the Bank, (1) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Board Representative with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance (which obligations shall be the same as, but in no event greater than, any such obligations to members of the Board of Directors, as applicable) are primary and any obligation of the Purchaser Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Board Representative are secondary), and (2) the Purchaser Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Board Representative against the Bank.

6.14 Payment Set Aside.

(iii) by the Bank or the Purchaser, upon written notice to the other party, in the event that any Governmental Entity shall have issued any order, decree or injunction or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or prohibiting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;

(iv) by the Purchaser, upon written notice to the Bank, if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Bank in this Agreement, or any such representation or warranty shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement, in each case such that a closing condition in Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) would not be satisfied;

(vii) by the Purchaser, upon written notice to the Bank, if the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receives written notice from or is otherwise advised by the OCC that the OCC will not grant (or intends to rescind if previously granted) any of the approvals referred to in Section 5.1(h); or

(viii) by any Purchaser, if the Bank directly or indirectly effects or causes to be effected any transaction with a third party (1) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Change in Control and (2) such transaction has a purchase price per share of Common Stock that is equal to or less than the Purchase Price.

(b) Nothing in this Section 6.15 shall be deemed to release either party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section, neither the Bank nor the Purchaser shall not have any further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other.

6.16 Adjustments in Common Stock Numbers and Prices.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

For good and valuable consideration acknowledged to have been received, the Bank hereby agrees that it shall:

● For so long as the VCOC Investor, directly or through one or more Affiliates, continues to hold any Common Stock, provide the VCOC Investor or its designated representative with the governance rights set forth in Section 4.21 of the Stock Purchase Agreement;

● For so long as the VCOC Investor, directly or through one or more Affiliates, continues to hold any Common Stock, without limitation or prejudice of any of the rights provided to the VCOC Investor under the Stock Purchase Agreement, provide the VCOC Investor or its designated representative with:

(i) the right to visit and inspect any of the offices and properties of the Bank and its subsidiaries and inspect the books and records of the Bank and its subsidiaries at such times as the VCOC Investor shall reasonably request upon three (3) business days’ notice but not more frequently than once per calendar quarter, provided, however, that such rights shall not extend to confidential bank supervisory communications, customer financial records or other “exempt records” as defined by 12 C.F.R. Part 4, or reports of examination of any national or state chartered insured bank, which information may only be disclosed by the Bank in accordance with the provisions and subject to the limitations of Law;

EXHIBIT A-1

(ii) consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows (on a year-end basis only) of the Bank and its subsidiaries prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis (A) as of the end of each quarter of each fiscal year of the Bank as soon as practicable after preparation thereof but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the end of such quarter, and (B) with respect to each fiscal year end statement, as soon as practicable after preparation thereof but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of such fiscal year together with an auditor’s report thereon; and

(iii) to the extent the Bank or any of its subsidiaries is required by law or pursuant to the terms of any outstanding indebtedness of the Bank to prepare such reports, any annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise, actually prepared by the Bank or any of its subsidiaries as soon as available;

provided that, in each case, if the Bank makes the information described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this bullet point available through public filings on the EDGAR system or any successor or replacement system of the Commission, the delivery of the information shall be deemed satisfied by such public filings.

● For so long as the VCOC Investor, directly or through one or more Affiliates, continues to hold any Common Stock, make appropriate officers and directors of the Bank available periodically and at such times as reasonably requested by the VCOC Investor for consultation with the VCOC Investor or its designated representative, but not more frequently than once per calendar quarter, with respect to matters relating to the business and affairs of the Bank; and

● For so long as the VCOC Investor, directly or through one or more Affiliates, continues to hold any Common Stock, if the VCOC Investor’s regular outside counsel determines in writing that other rights of consultation are reasonably necessary under applicable legal authorities promulgated after the date of this agreement to preserve the qualification of VCOC Investor’s investment in the Bank as a “venture capital investment” for purposes of the United States Department of Labor Regulation published at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(d)(3)(i) (the “Plan Asset Regulation”), the Bank agrees to cooperate in good faith with the VCOC Investor to amend this letter agreement to reflect such other rights that are mutually satisfactory to the Bank and the VCOC Investor and consistent with the Federal Reserve Policy Statement on Equity Investments in Banks and Bank Holding Companies; provided that such consultation rights shall be limited to once per calendar quarter.

The Bank agrees to consider, in good faith, the recommendations of the VCOC Investor or its designated representative in connection with the matters on which it is consulted as described above, recognizing that the ultimate discretion with respect to all such matters shall be retained by the Bank.

The VCOC Investor agrees, and will require each designated representative of the VCOC Investor to agree, to hold in confidence and not use or disclose to any third party (other than its legal counsel and accountants) any confidential information provided to or learned by such party in connection with the VCOC Investor’s rights under this letter agreement except as may otherwise be required by law or legal, judicial or regulatory process, provided that the VCOC Investor takes all appropriate steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.

In the event the VCOC Investor transfers all or any portion of its investment in the Bank to an affiliated entity (or to a direct or indirect wholly-owned conduit subsidiary of any such affiliated entity) that is intended to qualify as a venture capital operating company under the Plan Asset Regulation, such affiliated entity shall be afforded the same rights that the Bank has afforded to the VCOC Investor hereunder and shall be treated, for such purposes, as a third party beneficiary hereunder.

The rights of the VCOC Investor under this letter agreement are unique to the VCOC Investor and shall not be assignable or transferrable other than to an affiliated entity that is intended to qualify as a venture capital operating company under the Plan Asset Regulation.

This letter agreement and the rights and the duties of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California and may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

ACCREDITED INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE

(ALL INFORMATION WILL BE TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY)

To: Bank of Southern California, N.A.

This Accredited Investor Questionnaire (the “Questionnaire”) must be completed by Castle Creek Capital Partners VI, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Purchaser”), in connection with the offer and sale by Bank of Southern California, N.A., a national banking association (the “Bank”), of its shares of common stock, $5.00 par value per share (the “Shares”) of the Bank. The Shares are being offered and sold by the Bank without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and on Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The Bank must determine that an investor meets certain suitability requirements before offering or selling the Shares to such investor. The purpose of this Questionnaire is to assure the Bank that the Purchaser will meet the applicable suitability requirements. The information supplied by the Purchaser will be used in determining whether the Purchaser meets such criteria, and reliance upon the private offering exemptions from registration is based in part on the information herein supplied.

This Questionnaire does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Your answers will be kept strictly confidential. However, by signing this Questionnaire, the Purchaser will be authorizing the Bank to provide a completed copy of this Questionnaire to such parties as the Bank deems appropriate in order to ensure that the offer and sale of the Shares will not result in a violation of the Act or the securities laws of any state and that the Purchaser otherwise satisfies the suitability standards applicable to purchasers of the Shares.
