2.1.5Election Procedures.
(a)Election Form. An election form, in such form as PCC and Foundation Bancorp shall reasonably agree (the “Election Form”), shall be mailed to the shareholders of Foundation Bancorp on or about the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the anticipated Effective Date. Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or in the case of nominee record holders, the beneficial owner through proper instructions and documentation), subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.1.5(c), (i) to elect to receive PCC Common Stock with respect to all of such holder’s Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and/or Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock (a “Stock Election”), (ii) to elect to receive cash with respect to all of such holder’s Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and/or Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock (a “Cash Election”), (iii) to elect to receive cash with respect to 30% of such holder’s shares and shares of PCC Common Stock with respect to such holder’s remaining 70% of shares (a “Mixed Election”) or (iv) to indicate that such holder makes no such election with respect to such holder’s shares of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock or Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock (a “Non-Election”). Shares of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock as to which a Cash Election has been made (including pursuant to a Mixed Election) are referred to herein as “Cash Election Shares.” Shares of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock as to which a Stock Election has been made (including pursuant to a Mixed Election) are referred to herein as “Stock Election Shares.” Shares of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock as to which no election has
10
been made are referred to herein as “No-Election Shares.” Nominee record holders who hold Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock or Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock on behalf of multiple beneficial owners shall indicate how many of the shares held by them are Stock Election Shares, Cash Election Shares and No-Election Shares based upon the actions of the beneficial owners thereof. If a shareholder either (i) does not submit and continue to maintain through the Election Deadline a properly completed Election Form or (ii) fails to perfect his, her or its right to dissent under the WBCA, the shares of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and/or Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock held by such shareholder shall be designated No-Election Shares. Any Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to be Cash Election Shares and, with respect to such shares, the holders thereof shall in no event be classified as holders of Reallocated Stock Shares (as defined herein).
(b)Election Deadline. The term “Election Deadline” shall mean 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the Business Day that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, or such other date as PCC and Foundation Bancorp shall mutually agree upon.
(c)Effective Election. Any election to receive PCC Common Stock and/or cash shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form to the Exchange Agent (or any other Person to whom the subject shares of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock or Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock of such holder are subsequently transferred) by written notice to the Exchange Agent only if such written notice is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine when any election, modification or revocation is received, whether any such election, modification or revocation has been properly made and to disregard immaterial defects in any Election Form, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither PCC nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.
(d)Allocation. The Exchange Agent shall effect the allocation among holders of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and/or Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock of rights to receive PCC Common Stock and/or cash in the Merger in accordance with the Election Forms as follows:
(i) Cash Consideration Undersubscribed. If the number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Consideration is less than an amount equal to the Aggregate Cash Consideration, then:
(1) all Cash Election Shares (subject to Section 2.1.6 with respect to Dissenters’ Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive cash;
(2) No-Election Shares shall then be deemed to be Cash Election Shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of Cash Election Shares (including Dissenters’ Shares) times the Per Share Cash Consideration equal the Aggregate Cash Consideration. If less than all of the No-Election Shares are so required to be treated as Cash Election Shares, then the Exchange Agent shall select which No-Election Shares shall be treated as Cash Election Shares in such manner as to maximize the number of No-Election Shares treated as subject to a Mixed Election, and all remaining No-Election Shares shall thereafter be treated as Stock Election Shares;
(3) if all of the No-Election Shares are treated as Cash Election Shares under the preceding subsection and the total number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Consideration is still less than the Aggregate Cash Consideration, then the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below in Section 2.1.5(e) a sufficient number of Stock Election Shares into Cash Election Shares (“Reallocated Cash Shares”) such that the sum of the number of Cash Election Shares plus the number of Reallocated Cash Shares times the Per Share Cash Consideration equals the Aggregate Cash Consideration (provided that Stock Election Shares subject to a Mixed Election shall be treated as Reallocated Cash Shares only if the Stock Election Shares not subject to a Mixed Election are insufficient in number); and all Reallocated Cash Shares will be converted into the right to receive cash; and
11
(4) the Stock Election Shares which are not Reallocated Cash Shares shall be converted into the right to receive PCC Common Stock.
(ii) Cash Consideration Oversubscribed. If the number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Consideration is greater than the Aggregate Cash Consideration, then:
(1) all Stock Election Shares and a sufficient number of No-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive PCC Common Stock; provided that the Exchange Agent shall select which No-Election Shares shall be treated as Stock Election Shares in such a manner as to maximize the number of No-Election Shares treated as subject to a Mixed Election;
(2) if, after following the procedures in Section 2.1.5(d)(ii)(1), the Cash Consideration is still over-subscribed, then the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below in Section 2.1.5(e) a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares (excluding any Dissenters’ Shares) (“Reallocated Stock Shares”) such that the number of remaining Cash Election Shares (including Dissenters’ Shares) times the Per Share Cash Consideration equals the Aggregate Cash Consideration (provided that Cash Election Shares subject to a Mixed Election shall be treated as Reallocated Stock Shares only if, and to the extent that, the Cash Election Shares not subject to a Mixed Election are insufficient in number); and all Reallocated Stock Shares shall be converted into the right to receive PCC Common Stock; and
(3) the Cash Election Shares (subject to Section 2.1.6 with respect to Dissenters’ Shares) which are not Reallocated Stock Shares shall be converted into the right to receive cash.
(iii) Cash Consideration Satisfied. If the number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Consideration is equal to the Aggregate Cash Consideration, then subparagraphs (d)(i) and (ii) above shall not apply and all Cash Election Shares (subject to Section 2.1.6 with respect to Dissenters’ Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive cash and all No-Election Shares and all Stock Election Shares will be converted into the right to receive PCC Common Stock.
(e)Pro Rata Reallocations. In the event that the Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 2.1.5(d)(i)(3) to convert some Stock Election Shares into Reallocated Cash Shares, each holder of Stock Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Cash Shares. In the event the Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 2.1.5(d)(ii)(2) to convert some Cash Election Shares into Reallocated Stock Shares, each holder of Cash Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Stock Shares.
(f)Adjustment Per Tax Opinion. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, if Sidley Austin LLP and tax counsel to PCC reasonably determine that the amount of cash payable pursuant to Section 2.1.5 (prior to the application of this Section 2.1.5(f)) exceeds the maximum amount of cash that would enable Sidley Austin LLP to deliver the tax opinion referred to in Section 8.3(d) solely because the Merger would not satisfy the “continuity-of-interest” requirements of Section 368 of the Code (and relevant Treasury Regulations and other applicable authority), the amount of cash to be delivered (but for this Section 2.1.5(f)) with respect to each share of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock, that are convertible, in whole or in part, into a right to receive cash, shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (and PCC shall deliver with respect to each such share of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock, in lieu of the reduced amount of cash, that number of shares of PCC Common Stock having an aggregate value (based on the closing price of the PCC Common Stock on the Closing Date) equal to the reduced amount of cash) so that, in the reasonable determination of Sidley Austin LLP and tax counsel to PCC, Sidley Austin LLP shall be able to deliver the tax opinion referred to in Section 8.3(d). In making its determination, Sidley Austin LLP and tax counsel to PCC shall take into account cash in lieu of fractional shares, Dissenters’ Shares, payments made by Foundation Bancorp to its shareholders as redemption proceeds or as extraordinary dividends, the Cumulative Cash Dividend, shares of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock to be excluded from the relevant calculations, and such other considerations as Sidley Austin LLP and tax counsel to PCC reasonably deem necessary to take into account for purposes of making the Merger satisfy such “continuity-of-interest” requirements.
12
2.1.6Dissenters’ Shares. All shares of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock or Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock that are held by a “dissenter” within the meaning of RCW §§ 23B.13.010et seq.(“Dissenters’ Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive payment with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of the WBCA and shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration unless and until such shares have lost their status as Dissenters’ Shares under RCW §§ 23B.13.010et seq.at which time each such share shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock, Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock, and Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock (which are not Dissenters’ Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with Section 2.2.
2.1.7Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock and Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock.
(a)Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock. Foundation Bancorp shall take all actions necessary to cause each outstanding share of Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock to be fully vested so that all restrictions on the Foundation Bancorp Restricted Stock shall lapse as of the Effective Time, and such shares shall be entitled to the election procedures set forth in Section 2.1.5.
(b)Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock.

15
(e)No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional shares of PCC Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder of Foundation Bancorp Common Stock or Foundation Bancorp Preferred Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of PCC Common Stock (after taking into account all Foundation Bancorp Certificates or Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the Per Share Cash Consideration. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.
(f)Withholding Rights. Each of PCC, the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Foundation Bancorp Certificates or Book-Entry Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax laws. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or PCC, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by PCC or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent so remitted, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Foundation Bancorp Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or PCC, as the case may be.

2.4 The Bank Merger.
2.4.1As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, PCB and the Bank will enter into an agreement (the“Bank Plan of Merger”), pursuant to which the Bank Merger will be effected. The Bank Plan of Merger will provide that the closing of the Bank Merger shall take place as soon as practicable following the closing of the Merger or such other time or date as may be determined by PCC (the “Bank Merger Date”); conditioned, however, on the prior closing of the Merger. The Bank Merger will occur on the Bank Merger Date, following the filing of the Bank Plan of Merger with the Oregon Director as required under the OBCA and the filing of the Bank Articles of Merger with the Washington Secretary of State as required under the WBCA.

(f) Neither Foundation Bancorp nor, to the Knowledge of Foundation Bancorp, any plan fiduciary of any Foundation Bancorp Plan, has engaged in any transaction in violation of Section 406(a) or (b) of ERISA for which no exemption exists under Section 408 of ERISA or for which no exemption has been granted by the Department of Labor or any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code) for which no exemption exists under Section 4975(c)(2) or (d) of the Code or for which no exemption has been granted by the Internal Revenue Service and that would be reasonably be expected to result in mutual liability of Foundation Bancorp.

In any event, neither Foundation Bancorp nor any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary shall provide any confidential information or data to any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal unless such Person shall have executed a confidentiality agreement on terms at least as favorable in all material respects, in the aggregate, to Foundation Bancorp as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement.

PCC and Foundation Bancorp each agree that if it becomes aware that any information furnished by it would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or Prospectus/Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and PCC will take all appropriate steps to correct the Registration Statement or Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

(d) PCC will pay all fees and costs associated with the preparation by PCC’s counsel (and other professional advisors), and all regulatory filing fees, transfer taxes (other than shareholder taxes) and the costs of printing and mailing the proxy materials incurred by any party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and any other direct costs incurred in connection with the Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

PCC shall promptly inform Foundation Bancorp upon receiving notice of any legal, administrative, arbitration or other proceedings, demands, notices, audits or investigations by any Governmental Authority relating to the alleged liability of PCC or any PCC Subsidiary under any labor or employment law.

51
7.6 Other Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of PCC and the PCC Subsidiaries agrees to use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable laws, so as to permit consummation of the Mergers as promptly as practicable and otherwise to enable consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof, and shall cooperate fully with Foundation Bancorp to that end.
7.7 Employee Matters.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, PCC will honor in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time, and make the payments provided for in accordance with the terms (other than a requirement of termination of employment) of, all written employment agreements entered into prior to the date hereof and set forth on Section 7.7(a) of the Foundation Bancorp Disclosure Schedule, regardless of whether such officers who are party to such agreements will be Continuing Employees, subject to any limitations imposed under applicable law or by any Regulatory Authority;provided,however, that such officers have entered into written agreements with PCC, in a form mutually acceptable to Foundation Bancorp and PCC, to release PCC and the PCC Subsidiaries and their predecessors in interest from any liabilities arising out of or related to such payments. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating an obligation on PCC to reimburse or gross up any officer or other employee for any income tax or penalty, including as a result of any “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, that would otherwise by payable by the officer, employee, or Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary.
(b) Prior to the Effective Date, PCC shall determine which of the employees of Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary will be offered employment by PCB immediately following the Effective Date (the employees who accept such offers of employment, “Continuing Employees”) and shall give notice thereof to Foundation Bancorp. Effective no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time, Foundation Bancorp shall terminate the employment of each of these employees of Foundation Bancorp and the Foundation Bancorp Subsidiaries who PCC notifies Foundation Bancorp in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time that PCC does not intend to offer continued employment with PCB after the Effective Date. Such employees to whom PCC does not intend to offer continued employment, and whose employment is therefore terminated, along with any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated during the six (6) month period following the Effective Time (other than for cause), shall be entitled to receive the benefits and severance pay in accordance with Section 7.7(i) below. The employment of the Continuing Employees shall be subject to the terms, conditions and policies of employment that apply to similarly situated employees of PCB. To the extent that the Continuing Employees do not continue to be covered after the Effective Time by the Foundation Bancorp Plans that provide medical, dental and other welfare benefits (the “Foundation Bancorp Welfare Plans”), PCC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend its medical, dental and other welfare plans (the “PCB Welfare Plans”) and procedures so that (1) for the plan year including the Effective Date, the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents shall not be required to satisfy any deductible, out-of-pocket maximum or similar requirements under the PCB Welfare Plans to the Continuing Employees to the extent of amounts previously credited for such purposes under the corresponding the Foundation Bancorp Welfare Plans and (2) any waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations and requirements to show evidence of good health contained in such PCB Welfare Plans shall be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents (except to the extent any such waiting period, pre-existing condition exclusion or limitation, or requirement to show evidence of good health applied under the corresponding the Foundation Bancorp Welfare Plan in which the participant participated or was otherwise eligible to participate). Continuing Employees will be given credit for their service with Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary for purposes of eligibility under the PCB Welfare Plans (or, if continued by PCB, the Foundation Bancorp Welfare Plans).
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.7(a) with respect to individuals with employment or other written agreements that provide for severance payments or Section 7.7(b), Continuing Employees whose
52
employment is thereafter terminated other than for cause (“cause” shall include failure to meet conduct or employment standards) will be provided with severance benefits by PCB based on the PCB Severance Policy. A description of the current PCB Severance Policy is included in Section 7.7(c) of the PCC Disclosure Schedule. Continuing Employees will be given credit for their service with Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary for purposes of determining the amount of severance benefits under the PCB Severance Policy.
(d) For purposes of vacation benefits and sick leave, service accrued with Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary shall be credited for determining a Foundation Bancorp employee’s eligibility and length of vacation and sick leave under the PCB vacation or sick leave plan, and any vacation or sick leave taken prior to the Effective Date will be subtracted under the PCB plan from the Foundation Bancorp employee’s vacation or sick leave entitlement for the calendar year in which the Effective Date occurs to the extent permitted under applicable law. A Foundation Bancorp employee’s sick leave accrued time and vacation accrued time prior to the Effective Date will be carried forward, with prospective accruals based upon PCB vacation or sick leave plans or policies.
(e) For purposes of eligibility to participate in and vesting in (but not benefit accruals under) any cash or deferred arrangement maintained by PCB that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “PCB 401(k) Plan”), Continuing Employees shall receive credit for length of service accrued with Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary and (except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits or a greater benefit may otherwise be provided in written employment contracts) shall be entitled to participate in such plans, arrangements and similar benefits then made available to similarly situated PCB employees effective as of the Effective Time.
(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) neither PCC nor PCB is obligated to continue to employ any employee of Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary for any period of time following the Effective Date, (2) nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of PCC or any PCC Subsidiary to revise, amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan, PCB Welfare Plan or other employee benefit plan, program or policy from time to time, (3) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an amendment of any Employee Benefit Plans or PCB Welfare Plan, and (4) no provision of this Section 7.7 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee, director, former employee or former director (including any beneficiary or dependent of such employee, director, former employee or former director) of Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary in respect of continued employment or service (or resumed employment or service) or any other matter.
(g) Prior to the Effective Date, Foundation Bancorp shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate the Foundation Bancorp Stock Plan and the qualified cash or deferred arrangement maintained by Foundation Bancorp (the “Foundation Bancorp 401(k) Plan”), including adoption of an appropriate resolution of the Foundation Bancorp Board. In addition, prior to the Effective Date, Foundation Bancorp and each Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary shall upon reasonable request of PCC (taking into account time considerations, the ability to make any relations actions contingent on the Closing occurring, and the need for consent from any third parties, including employees), take all reasonable actions requested by PCB in writing that may be necessary or appropriate to (1) cause one or more of the other Foundation Bancorp Plans to terminate as of the Effective Date, or as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, subject to the terms of the Foundation Bancorp Plans and applicable law, (2) cause benefit accruals and entitlements under any Foundation Bancorp Plan to cease as of the Effective Date, or as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, (3) make a good faith effort to cause the continuation on and after the Effective Date of any contract, arrangement or insurance policy relating to any Foundation Bancorp Plan for such period as may be requested by PCB, or (4) facilitate the merger of any Foundation Bancorp Plan into any employee benefit plan maintained by PCB after the Effective Date. All resolutions, notices, or other documents issued, adopted or executed in connection with the implementation of this Section 7.7(g) shall be subject to PCB’s prior review and approval.
(h) Prior to the Effective Time, Foundation Bancorp and each Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary shall cooperate with PCB to allow PCB, in its sole discretion, but subject to reasonable procedures and limitations
53
established by Foundation Bancorp, to (1) arrange and conduct for employees of Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary, an open enrollment period for PCB Welfare Plans (to the extent such plans will be made available to such employees) and employee orientation sessions (with such sessions to be held at times reasonably agreed to by PCB and Foundation Bancorp), and (2) meet with employees of Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary (either individually or in groups) during breaks, or as otherwise agreed to by PCB and Foundation Bancorp.
(i) At the Effective Time or such later time when a termination of employment occurs, as applicable, except with respect to those officers or employees of Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary who are party to an employment agreement or other agreement providing for greater severance benefits with Foundation Bancorp or with such Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary, PCC shall pay to (1) those employees of Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary who are not Continuing Employees and (2) Continuing Employees whose employment is terminated in the six (6) month period following the Effective Time, an amount of severance pay in cash equal to two (2) weeks’ salary for every year of service with Foundation Bancorp or any Foundation Bancorp Subsidiary, subject to a minimum severance pay amount of four (4) weeks’ salary.
(j) PCB shall take all steps reasonably necessary to permit each Continuing Employee who has received an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from the Foundation Bancorp 401(k) Plan to roll over such eligible distribution as part of any lump sum distributions, to the extent permitted by the Foundation Bancorp 401(k) Plan, into an account under the PCB 401(k) Plan.

54
manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable law;provided further,however, that any such determination shall not limit or affect the availability of insurance protection, as set forth in Section 7.8(d), unless the insurance policy provides for such a limitation or otherwise excludes coverage under such circumstances.
(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 7.8(a), upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify PCC thereof in writing, provided that the failure to so notify PCC shall not relieve PCC of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices PCC. PCC’s obligations under Section 7.8(a) continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Date;provided,however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim.

If Foundation Bancorp and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and PCC shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as provided in Foundation Bancorp’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and PCC shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six (6) year period with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as provided in Foundation Bancorp’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement;provided,however, that in no event shall PCC or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies an annual premium amount in excess of 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by Foundation Bancorp for such insurance; and,provided,further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall, and PCC shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

10. TERMINATION.
10.1 Procedure for Termination.This Agreement may be terminated before the Effective Date:
(a) By the mutual written consent of Foundation Bancorp and PCC;
(b) By either Foundation Bancorp or PCC, if its Board of Directors so determines by vote of a majority of the members of its entire Board of Directors, upon written notice to the other party, if at the time of such notice the Merger shall not have become effective by April 30, 2017 (or such later date as shall have been agreed to in writing by PCC and Foundation Bancorp), except to the extent that the failure of the Merger to be consummated arises out of or results from the action or inaction of the party seeking to terminate, which action or inaction is in material violation of its obligations under this Agreement;
(c) By PCC or Foundation Bancorp, in the event of either: (i) a material breach by the other party of any representation or warranty contained herein, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice to the breaching party of such breach; or (ii) a material breach by the other party of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice to the breaching party of such breach,provided that (A) such breach (under either clause (i) or (ii)) would entitle the non-breaching party not to consummate the Merger under Section 8.2 (if PCC is the non-breaching party) or Section 8.3 (if Foundation Bancorp is the non-breaching party), and (B) the terminating party is not itself in material breach of any provision of this Agreement;
(d) By Foundation Bancorp, prior to the time, but not after, the approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of Foundation Bancorp at the Foundation Bancorp Meeting has occurred, if: (i) Foundation Bancorp is not in material breach of this Agreement; (ii) Foundation Bancorp receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal that is not withdrawn and the Foundation Bancorp Board determines in good faith it constitutes a Superior Proposal; (iii) the Foundation Bancorp Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside, legal counsel and independent financial advisors) that failure to accept such Superior Proposal would be more likely than not inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations; (iv) Foundation Bancorp provides PCC prior written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to terminating this Agreement, which notice shall state that the Foundation Bancorp Board has received a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Foundation Bancorp Board has determined to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d); (v) during such three (3) Business Day period, Foundation Bancorp negotiates in good faith with PCC (to the extent PCC wishes to negotiate) to enable PCC to make an improved offer such that the Acquisition Proposal at issue would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; (vi) at the end of such three (3) Business Day period (or such earlier time that PCC advises Foundation Bancorp that it no longer wishes to negotiate to amend this Agreement), the Foundation Bancorp Board, after taking into account any modification to the terms of this Agreement and the Merger proposed by PCC, continues to believe that, such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and Foundation Bancorp enters into a definitive agreement for such Superior Proposal; and (vii) Foundation Bancorp, prior to such termination of this Agreement, pays to PCC in immediately available funds any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Sections 10.2.2(a) and 10.2.2(b) hereof;
(e) By either party, if any Order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger shall become final and non-appealable (whether before or after the approval of the Merger by the shareholders of Foundation Bancorp);
59
(f) By either party, if the shareholders of Foundation Bancorp fail to approve the principal terms of this Agreement at the Foundation Bancorp Meeting (provided that a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement if the failure to obtain the required shareholder approval is attributable to a failure on the part of such party to perform any material obligation required hereunder to be performed by such party); or
(g) By PCC, if the Foundation Bancorp Board (i) submits this Agreement to its shareholders without a recommendation for approval or with any adverse conditions on, or qualifications of, such recommendation for approval; (ii) otherwise withdraws or materially and adversely modifies (or discloses its intention to withdraw or materially and adversely modify) its recommendation referred to in Section 6.6; or (iii) recommends to its shareholders a Superior Proposal.

63
the financial condition, results of operations, or business of PCC or Foundation Bancorp and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as the case may be, including with respect to currently pending litigation, or (ii) would impair the ability of either PCC or Foundation Bancorp, respectively, to complete the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;provided, however, that a material adverse effect shall not be deemed to include effects arising out of, relating to, or resulting in any way from: (a) changes in banking and similar laws, rules or regulations of general applicability or interpretations thereof by Governmental Authorities, or other laws, rules and regulations of general applicability to companies in the industries in which PCC or Foundation Bancorp operate; (b) changes in GAAP or regulatory accounting requirements applicable to banks and their holding companies generally; (c) changes after the date hereof in economic, business, political, market or financial conditions affecting financial institutions generally; (d) any decline in the trading price of the common stock of Foundation Bancorp or PCC or a failure by Foundation Bancorp or PCC, as the case may be, to meet any published analyst estimates of revenues or earnings for any period ending on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing,provided,however, that the exception in this clause (d) shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect, circumstance or development underlying such failure has resulted in, or contributed to, a Material Adverse Effect; (e) changes after the date hereof in the credit markets generally, and downgrades in the credit markets generally, or adverse credit events resulting in deterioration in the credit markets generally; (f) any modifications or changes to valuation policies and practices in connection with the Mergers or restructuring charges taken in connection with the Mergers, each in accordance with GAAP as agreed to by the parties hereto, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (g) the entry into or the announcement of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the compliance by Foundation Bancorp or the Bank with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby;provided,further, that, with respect to clauses (a), (b), (c), and (e) such change, event, circumstance or development does not have an effect that is materially disproportionately adverse to the financial condition, results of operations, or business of Foundation Bancorp or PCC, as the case may be, compared to other companies of similar size operating in the banking markets in which Foundation Bancorp or PCC operates.
