ARTICLE 3.    EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES
Section 3.1    Conversion of Capital Stock.
(c)    At the Effective Time, each share of OCBB Common Stock then outstanding (other than shares held by HomeStreet or its Subsidiaries, or held as treasury stock by OCBB) shall cease to be issued and outstanding and shall then be converted into, and shall thereafter represent, only the right to receive a proportionate share of the Merger Consideration.
(d)    The consideration to be paid to the holders of the OCBB Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) will be a combination of cash and HomeStreet Common Stock determined as follows:

13



(i)    The cash portion of the Merger Consideration (the “Cash Component”) shall be an amount equal five million five hundred thousand dollars ($5,500,000).
(ii)    HomeStreet shall issue as a part of the Merger Consideration a number of shares of HomeStreet Common Stock (the “Stock Component”) equal to the quotient determined by dividing $49,780,000 by the HomeStreet Closing Price; provided that: (A) in the event the HomeStreet Closing Price is less than 90% of the HomeStreet Base Price, the Stock Component shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing $49,780,000 by an amount equal to 90% of the HomeStreet Base Price; and (B) in the event the HomeStreet Closing Price is more than 115% of the HomeStreet Base Price, then the Stock Component shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing $49,780,000 by an amount equal to 115% of the HomeStreet Base Price.
(e)    The Merger Consideration shall be allocated pro rata among the Shares such that each Share shall be entitled to receive (i) an amount of cash equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Cash Component by the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective Time; and (ii) a number of shares of HomeStreet Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the number of shares comprising the Stock Component by the number of Shares outstanding at the Effective Time. References in this Agreement to the “Per Share Merger Consideration” means the portion of the Merger Consideration allocable to each Share in accordance with this Section 3.1(c).
(f)    Each holder of OCBB Equity Securities as of the Effective Time shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive (1) the Merger Consideration; (2) any dividends and other distributions on such shares of HomeStreet Common Stock to be received as Merger Consideration that have a record date after the Effective Date; and (3) any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional Share in accordance with Section 3.2(a).
(g)    Each Share owned, directly or indirectly, by HomeStreet or HomeStreet Bank immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid or payable in exchange therefor.
Section 3.2    Exchange and Payment.
(a)    At or prior to the Effective Time, HomeStreet shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with U.S. Bank Corporate Trust Services (the “Exchange Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of Shares, and shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay and distribute, sufficient (i) shares of HomeStreet Common Stock to permit prompt delivery of the Stock Component; and (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Component plus an amount sufficient to permit prompt payment of the cash in lieu of fractional shares of HomeStreet Common Stock that otherwise would result from the allocation of the Stock Component (all such items, together, the ”Exchange Fund”).

14



(b)    As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, HomeStreet shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of any Shares a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Shares held by such Person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates or electronic record representing to the Exchange Agent, and which letter shall be in customary form and contain such other provisions as HomeStreet or the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify). Upon surrender of Shares to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration for such Shares (subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax), and the Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of Shares on the Merger Consideration.
(c)    If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Shares is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that such Shares so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to such Person or shall have established to the satisfaction of HomeStreet that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.
(d)    Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, Shares shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.
(e)    All Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article 3 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares surrendered in respect thereof. Upon consummation of the Merger, the stock transfer books of OCBB shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Resulting Bank. If, after the Effective Time, certificates purporting to represent Shares are presented to HomeStreet, the Resulting Bank, or the Exchange Agent for transfer, such certificates shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 3.
(f)    Any portion of the Exchange Fund (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to HomeStreet upon demand of HomeStreet, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article 3 shall thereafter look only to HomeStreet (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to such Shares, without interest.
(g)    None of HomeStreet, the Resulting Bank, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of cash from the Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

15



(h)    If any certificate representing Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to HomeStreet, of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by HomeStreet or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as HomeStreet or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, HomeStreet or the Resulting Bank with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the Merger Consideration with respect to Shares formerly represented by such certificate, without interest.
Section 3.3    Withholding Rights. HomeStreet, the Resulting Bank and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Shares, OCBB Stock Options, or other Equity Securities granted or issued under any employee or director stock option, stock purchase or equity compensation plan, arrangement or agreement of OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as HomeStreet as the Surviving Corporation, the Resulting Bank or the Exchange Agent determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by HomeStreet or its Subsidiaries, the Resulting Bank or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Section 3.4    Dissenting Shares. Each outstanding Share the holder of which has perfected his, her or its dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights under Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code (the “Dissenters’ Rights Law”) and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the Dissenters’ Rights Law. OCBB shall give HomeStreet prompt notice upon receipt by OCBB of any such demands for payment of the value of such Shares and of withdrawals of such notice and any other instruments provided pursuant to the Dissenters’ Rights Laws, and HomeStreet shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. OCBB shall not, except with the prior written consent of HomeStreet (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such holder of Dissenting Shares as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under the Dissenters’ Rights Laws. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Resulting Bank.
ARTICLE 4.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF OCBB
Except as set forth in the corresponding Section or subsection of the disclosure letter delivered by OCBB to HomeStreet prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “OCBB Disclosure Letter”), OCBB represents and warrants to HomeStreet and HomeStreet Bank as follows:

(j)    OCBB has previously made available to HomeStreet true and complete copies of the OCBB Articles and OCBB Bylaws, in each case as amended to the date of this Agreement, and each as so delivered is in full force and effect. OCBB is not in violation of any provision of the OCBB Articles or OCBB Bylaws.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by OCBB and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by HomeStreet and HomeStreet Bank, constitutes a valid and binding

18

Section 4.6    Reports, Disclosures, and Financial Statements.
(a)    Securities Filings. OCBB does not have a class of securities registered or required to be registered under the Exchange Act and is not required to file, and has not filed, any reports thereunder, whether voluntarily or otherwise. To the Knowledge of OCBB, no Person has provided information regarding OCBB under Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11(a), which information was acquired directly or indirectly from OCBB or any Person authorized to disclose information on behalf of OCBB.

As of their respective filing dates, OCBB Reports complied in all material respects with all requirements of Law and with any interpretations thereof by the applicable Governmental Entities. OCBB Reports, including the documents incorporated by reference into, or delivered, filed or furnished with, each of them, contained all material information required to be included therein. Since December 31, 2012, each communication by OCBB, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or Representatives with the holders of OCBB Common Stock (including, solely for purposes of this Section 4.6, Persons who were actual or prospective investors in OCBB Common Stock as of the date of such communication) did not, as of the date communicated to any such Person, violate or conflict with any Law or contain a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the circumstances therein not misleading.

Each of HomeStreet and OCBB shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to all written information submitted to any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions. In exercising the foregoing right, each of such parties agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

Section 6.6    Announcements. OCBB and HomeStreet shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to the Merger, the Transactions or this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statements without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party (but after such consultation, to the extent practicable under the circumstances), issue such press release or make such public statements as may upon the advice of outside counsel be required by Law. OCBB and HomeStreet shall cooperate to develop all public announcement materials and make appropriate management available at presentations related to the Transactions as reasonably requested by the other party.
Section 6.7    Access; Information; Cooperation; Confidentiality.
(a)    OCBB agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, it shall afford HomeStreet and HomeStreet’s officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives such access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice and without disruption to OCBB’s business activities, throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to the books, records (including, without limitation, Tax Returns and work papers of independent auditors, subject to independent auditor consent), systems, properties, personnel and advisors of OCBB and its Subsidiaries and to such other information relating to OCBB and its Subsidiaries as HomeStreet may reasonably request and, during such period, it shall furnish promptly to HomeStreet (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws and federal or state banking, lending, consumer finance or privacy laws and (ii) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of OCBB as HomeStreet may reasonably request.
(b)    OCBB shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, inform HomeStreet of any event, condition or circumstance that would constitute or give rise to, or might reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise (with the passage of time or the occurrence of reasonably anticipated events) to (i) any material breach of this Agreement by OCBB; or (ii) any event that constitutes or may constitute, or that with the passage of time or the occurrence of reasonably foreseeable events or circumstances will result in or is reasonably likely to result in, Material Adverse Effect upon OCBB and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The obligation to notify HomeStreet of the matters contemplated by Section 6.7(b)(ii) shall not affect the determination of whether a Material Adverse Effect has arisen or exists, and any such determination shall be made in accordance with the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” and with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, a notice by OCBB pursuant to Section 6.7(b) with respect to events that may constitute a Material Adverse Effect shall not be construed as conclusive evidence that such an event or condition exists or has occurred.

47



(c)    HomeStreet shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, inform OCBB of any event, condition or circumstance that would constitute or give rise to, or might reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise (with the passage of time or the occurrence of reasonably anticipated events) to (i) any material breach of this Agreement by HomeStreet; or (ii) any event that constitutes or may constitute, or that with the passage of time or the occurrence of reasonably foreseeable events or circumstances will result in or is reasonably likely to result in, Material Adverse Effect upon HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The obligation to notify OCBB of the matters contemplated by Section 6.7(c)(ii) shall not affect the determination of whether a Material Adverse Effect has arisen or exists, and any such determination shall be made in accordance with the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” and with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, a notice by HomeStreet pursuant to Section 6.7(c) with respect to events that may constitute a Material Adverse Effect shall not be construed as conclusive evidence that such an event or condition exists or has occurred.
(d)    During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, OCBB shall, upon the request of HomeStreet, cause one or more of its designated officers to confer on a monthly or more frequent basis with representatives of HomeStreet regarding its financial condition, operations and business and matters relating to the completion of the Transactions. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month, OCBB will deliver to HomeStreet a balance sheet and profit and loss statements, without related notes, prepared on a consistent basis in accordance with Law and (subject to the absence of footnotes and to normal, non-material adjustments) with GAAP. No less frequently than monthly, OCBB shall consult with HomeStreet regarding the status of all Classified Loans of OCBB and its Subsidiaries, and shall provide all documentation relating to all such Classified Loans upon HomeStreet’s request. Upon the request of HomeStreet, OCBB shall facilitate consultation between any one or more executive officers of HomeStreet, on the one hand, and the officer of OCBB or one of its Subsidiaries as the case may be, having primary supervisory or customer relationship authority with any Loan of OCBB or its Subsidiaries, which consultation may include any matter pertinent to the status or carrying value of each such Loan. As soon as reasonably available, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter ending after the date of this Agreement (other than the last quarter of each fiscal year ending June 30), OCBB will deliver to HomeStreet its balance sheet and profit and loss statements, without related notes, prepared in accordance with Law (including GAAP, where applicable) and as soon as reasonably available, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, OCBB will deliver to HomeStreet its audited balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations, and changes in shareholders’ equity for such year, together with the unqualified opinion of the certifying accountants of OCBB.
(e)    No investigation or Knowledge by any of the parties or their respective Representatives shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the other parties set forth herein.
(f)    OCBB shall give reasonable notice to HomeStreet of all board and committee meetings of OCBB, and all meetings of the shareholders of OCBB and, to the extent

48



Known, the agenda for or business to be discussed at such meeting. OCBB shall also provide to HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries all written agendas and meeting materials and written consent materials provided to the directors of OCBB in connection with such meetings, excluding materials subject to an attorney-client privilege or constituting attorney work product or that OCBB is not permitted to disclose under Law or that relate to the rights and obligations of the parties under the Transaction Documents. A Representative of HomeStreet shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the OCBB Board other than those portions of such meetings designated as executive sessions and any other meeting or portion of a meeting which OCBB determines, in consultation with its outside legal counsel, would result in a violation of the fiduciary duties of the OCBB Board to have such Representative of HomeStreet in attendance. The Representative so designated shall hold the title of Executive Vice President or higher with HomeStreet or HomeStreet Bank.
(g)    HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries and OCBB and its Subsidiaries, respectively, will hold, and will cause their representatives to hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence, including without limitation complying with this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, and all Law applicable to such Confidential Information. Neither party will disclose Confidential Information of the other party without the consent of such party, and each party shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to refrain from disclosing, without prior written consent of the party owning or delivering such Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, a disclosure of Confidential Information by a party’s Affiliate or Representative shall be a breach of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement by such party as if such disclosure were made directly by such party. Immediately upon any such termination, each party will promptly return to the requesting party (or shall destroy and certify to the destruction of) all Confidential Information in its possession and will not maintain any copies or notes of any Confidential Information, other than Confidential Information that may be reasonably necessary to enforce such party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement. Each of HomeStreet, HomeStreet Bank, OCBB acknowledges that any breach or violation of the representations contained in this Section 6.7(g) may cause substantial damages and irreparable harm to the other parties hereto. The parties agree that the remedy at law for any breach of any provision of this Section 6.7(g) would be inadequate and that, in addition to any other remedies that it may have, each party will be entitled, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without the posting of a bond, to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to cease and/or prevent any future breach or violation of any provision of this Section 6.7(g).
(h)    OCBB and its Subsidiaries on the one hand and HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries on the other shall cooperate in order to permit HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries to train employees of OCBB and its Subsidiaries who are expected to continue employment with HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries, and OCBB and its Subsidiaries shall, as mutually scheduled by HomeStreet and OCBB, use its reasonable efforts to excuse such employees from their duties for the purpose of training and orientation by HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries. The Parties shall also cooperate in order to allow HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries to utilize employees of OCBB to assist it in connection with preparing for the conversion of OCBB’s data processing systems.

49



Section 6.8    OCBB Meeting. OCBB Board shall duly and properly, in accordance with Section 601 of the California Corporations Code, provide notice to holders of OCBB Common Stock and convene, and thereafter shall cause to occur, a meeting of the holders of OCBB Common Stock (the “OCBB Meeting”) for purposes of obtaining Shareholder Approval, and at such meeting shall submit to such shareholders a motion contemplating Shareholder Approval. Except in the case of the adoption of a Change in Recommendation, the OCBB Board shall recommend that the holders of OCBB Common Stock grant the Shareholder Approval, and shall not withdraw or modify in any manner adverse to HomeStreet any such recommendation. For the avoidance of doubt, a Change in Recommendation shall not excuse the obligations of OCBB Board to convene OCBB Meeting and to take a vote regarding Shareholder Approval pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.8. In connection with the OCBB Meeting, the OCBB Board shall (a) deliver the Proxy Statement (or cause the Proxy Statement to be delivered) to each holder of record of OCBB Common Stock as of the applicable record date; and (b) take such actions (including delivering such amendments and supplements to the Proxy Statement as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate) to cause the Proxy Statement not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
Section 6.9    Acquisition Proposals.
(d)    OCBB agrees that it shall, and shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates to, immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any other parties that may be ongoing with respect to the possibility or consideration of any Acquisition Proposal, and will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal, including by requesting the other party to promptly return or destroy any Confidential Information previously furnished by or on behalf of OCBB thereunder and by specifically enforcing the terms thereof in a court of competent jurisdiction. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, OCBB shall block all access to the electronic data room maintained in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, to all Persons other than OCBB and HomeStreet and their respective Representatives. From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time or the valid termination of this Agreement, OCBB shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly through another Person; (i) solicit, initiate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information or assistance), or take any other action designed to facilitate or that is likely to result in, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) provide any Confidential Information or data to any Person relating to any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal; (iv) waive, terminate, modify or fail to enforce any provision of any contractual “standstill” or similar obligations of any Person other than HomeStreet or its Affiliates; (v) approve or recommend, propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, asset purchase agreement or share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement related to any Acquisition Proposal or propose to do any of the foregoing; or (vi) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation (whether publicly or

50



otherwise) in support of any Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise that suggests or recommends to any Person other than HomeStreet a material modification to, or the abandonment or termination of, this Agreement or the Transactions, or fail to publicly reaffirm, in writing, its recommendation in favor of Shareholder Approval (any statement or omission described in clause (vi) above, a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, however, that prior to the date of OCBB Meeting, and subject to the provisions of this Section 6.9, if the OCBB Board determines in good faith, after consulting with its outside legal and financial advisors, that the failure to consider such Acquisition Proposal would breach, or would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of, the OCBB Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, then OCBB may, in response to a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal not solicited in violation of this Section 6.9(a) that the OCBB Board determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, subject to providing four Business Days’ prior written notice of its decision to take such action to HomeStreet and identifying in detail and with specificity the Person making the proposal and all the material terms and conditions of such proposal and compliance with Section 6.9(b); (1) furnish information with respect to itself to any Person making such a Superior Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement (as determined by OCBB after consultation with its outside counsel) on terms no more favorable than those provided in the Confidentiality Agreement with HomeStreet and (2) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such a Superior Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, a breach of this Section 6.9(a) by any Affiliate or Representative of OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries shall constitute a breach of this Section 6.9(a) by OCBB, regardless of any Knowledge directly or indirectly attributable to OCBB. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OCBB shall not make a determination that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal unless OCBB shall have provided to HomeStreet an opportunity, within the four Business Day period referenced in the preceding sentence, to increase its offer to an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such Acquisition Proposal, and unless HomeStreet shall have failed, prior to the expiry of such period, to make such an increase in its offer such that HomeStreet’s offer is substantially equivalent, from a financial point of view, to such Acquisition Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of HomeStreet to increase its offer in response to an Acquisition Proposal shall not be construed as an obligation to do so, and upon receiving notice of an Acquisition Proposal HomeStreet may, in response thereto, take any action that is permitted of HomeStreet under this Agreement, including without limitation terminating this Agreement and exercising the remedies set forth in Article 8.
(e)    In addition to the obligations of OCBB set forth in Section 6.9(a), OCBB shall promptly (within 24 hours) advise HomeStreet orally and in writing of its receipt of any Acquisition Proposal (or any inquiry which could lead to an Acquisition Proposal) and keep HomeStreet informed, on a current basis, of the continuing status thereof, including the terms and conditions thereof and any changes thereto, and shall contemporaneously provide to HomeStreet all materials provided to or made available to any third party pursuant to this Section 6.9, which were not previously provided to HomeStreet.
(f)    OCBB agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.9 by any Representative of OCBB shall be deemed a breach of this Section 6.9 by OCBB.

51



(g)    The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the restrictions set forth in Section 6.9(a) were violated by OCBB or any of its Representatives. It is accordingly agreed that HomeStreet and HomeStreet Bank shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of Section 6.9, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which HomeStreet is entitled at law or in equity. In the event attorneys’ fees or other costs are incurred to secure performance of any of the obligations herein provided for, or to establish damages for the breach thereof, or to obtain any other appropriate relief, whether by way of prosecution or defense, HomeStreet shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred therein.
Section 6.10    Certain Policies. During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the Effective Date, the Parties shall cooperate in monitoring the Loans of OCBB and its Subsidiaries and establishing adequate reserves therefor. To the extent HomeStreet shall reasonably request, OCBB shall, consistent with GAAP and in compliance with Law, modify its Loan classifications and establish or adjust loan loss reserves so as to be applied on a basis that is consistent with that of HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no such modifications or changes need be made prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of OCBB set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2; and further provided that in any event, no accrual or reserve made by OCBB or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall constitute or be deemed to be a breach, violation of or failure to satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, condition or other provision of this Agreement or otherwise be considered in determining whether any such breach, violation or failure to satisfy shall have occurred. The recording of any such adjustments shall not be deemed to imply any misstatement of previously furnished financial statements or information and shall not be construed as concurrence of OCBB and its Subsidiaries or its management with any such adjustments.
Section 6.11    Employment Matters.
(k)    OCBB has previously made available to HomeStreet in writing complete and accurate lists of the employees of OCBB and its Subsidiaries. Such employee lists shall be updated by OCBB and provided to HomeStreet thirty (30) calendar days following the date of this Agreement and within ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date.
(l)    HomeStreet and OCBB agree that promptly following the execution of this Agreement, meetings shall be held at such locations as HomeStreet and OCBB shall mutually agree, for HomeStreet and OCBB to announce the proposed Transactions to the employees of OCBB and its Subsidiaries. At mutually agreed upon times following such initial announcement, HomeStreet shall be permitted to meet with the employees of OCBB and its Subsidiaries to discuss employment opportunities with HomeStreet and its affiliates.
(m)    Each of the employees of OCBB and its Subsidiaries may be offered employment by HomeStreet or one of its Subsidiaries (including HomeStreet) at the sole and

52



absolute discretion of HomeStreet. Except as described in this Section 6.11, neither HomeStreet nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability with respect to any employee of OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries who is not offered or does not accept employment with HomeStreet or any of its Subsidiaries, or any former employee or retiree of OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries, regardless of when such liability occurs.
(n)    As soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time, HomeStreet shall take all reasonable action so that employees of OCBB and its Subsidiaries who are continuing employees of HomeStreet or any of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to participate in the HomeStreet Benefit Plans to the same extent as similarly situated employees of HomeStreet and its Subsidiaries (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of OCBB and its Subsidiaries in HomeStreet Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans), provided that coverage shall be continued under the corresponding Benefit Plans of OCBB and its Subsidiaries until such employees are permitted to participate in HomeStreet Benefit Plans and provided further, however, that nothing contained herein shall require HomeStreet or any of its Subsidiaries to make any grants to any former employee of OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries under any discretionary equity compensation plan of HomeStreet. HomeStreet shall cause each HomeStreet Benefit Plan in which employees of OCBB and its Subsidiaries are eligible to participate to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and accrual of benefits, and for all other purposes (but not for accrual of pension benefits) under HomeStreet Benefit Plans, the service of such employees with OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries, provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of HomeStreet to amend or terminate any of the HomeStreet’s Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time.
(o)    At such time as employees of OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries become eligible to participate in a medical, dental or health plan of HomeStreet or its Subsidiaries, HomeStreet shall cause each such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations and exclusions to the extent such conditions and exclusions are covered under the applicable medical, health or dental plans of HomeStreet; (ii) provide full credit under such plans for any deductibles, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees and their beneficiaries during the portion of the calendar year prior to such participation and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation, actively-at-work or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to such employee on or after the Effective Time to the extent such employee had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Plan prior to the Effective Time and to the extent permitted under the applicable HomeStreet Benefit Plan.
(p)    Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that all provisions contained within this Section 6.11 with respect to Employees are included for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto, and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including Benefit Plans or any beneficiary thereof; or (ii) to continued employment with OCBB, HomeStreet or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

53



(q)    Those employees of OCBB or its Subsidiaries who are not offered comparable employment with respect to salary and location by HomeStreet or its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, and who are not then covered by an existing severance or change-of-control agreement with OCBB or its Subsidiaries, and who sign and deliver a termination and release agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D within 30 days of the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive severance pay in an amount equal to one week’s pay for each full year of service, subject to a maximum of twenty-six weeks of pay. Such payments will be made by HomeStreet on the date the termination and release agreement that is executed by an employee becomes effective. If OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries also has a severance pay plan applicable to a Person, then any amounts paid to such Person pursuant to that plan shall reduce the amount that such Person will receive under this Section 6.11(g) and in no event shall there be any duplication of severance pay. Nothing contained in this Section 6.11(g) hereof shall be construed or interpreted to limit or modify in any way HomeStreet’s at will employment policy or provide any third party beneficiary rights to employees of OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries. In no event shall severance pay be taken into account in determining the amount of any other benefit (including but not limited to, an individual’s benefit under any retirement plan or policy). If, by reason of the controlling plan document, controlling law or otherwise, severance pay is taken into account in determining any other benefit, the severance pay otherwise payable shall be reduced by the present value of the additional benefit determined under other benefit plans attributable to the severance pay period.
(r)    Promptly following the Effective Time, OCBB and HomeStreet shall cause each employee of OCBB or any of its Subsidiaries who is not employed by HomeStreet or its Subsidiaries following the Merger to be paid for unused vacation time in accordance with OCBB’s past practice.
Section 6.12    Notification of Certain Matters. Each of OCBB and HomeStreet shall give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (a) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it or (b) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.
Section 6.13    Estoppel Letters. OCBB shall obtain and deliver to HomeStreet at the Closing with respect to all real estate leased by OCBB or its Subsidiaries, an estoppel letter dated as of or before the Closing Date in the form of Exhibit E from all lessors.
Section 6.14    NASDAQ Listing HomeStreet will use its reasonable best efforts to list if required, prior to the Effective Time on the NASDAQ GlobalSelect Market the shares of HomeStreet Common Stock to be issued to the holders of OCBB Common Stock in the Merger.
Section 6.15    Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.
(a)    OCBB shall purchase a policy of officers' and directors' liability insurance with terms comparable to the policy currently in effect which provides coverage for a period of

54



six (6) years from the Effective Time for claims arising from facts or events that occurred prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the total cost of the premiums for such policy shall not exceed 250% of the current annual premium paid by OCBB for such coverage.
(b)    From and after the Effective Time, HomeStreet shall, and shall cause the Resulting Bank or any other entity resulting from the Transactions to, maintain and preserve the rights to indemnification of officers and directors provided for in the OCBB Articles and OCBB Bylaws with respect to indemnification for liabilities and claims arising out of acts, omissions, events, matters or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, the Transactions to the extent such indemnification rights are not in excess of that permitted by Law or Governmental Entities.
(c)    The provisions of this Section 6.15 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each director or officer of OCBB and his or her heirs, beneficiaries and successors in interest.
(d)    In the event that either HomeStreet or Resulting Bank, or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the surviving corporation or resulting bank or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of HomeStreet or Resulting Bank, as applicable, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.15.
ARTICLE 7.    CONDITIONS TO CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER

(d)    The parties hereto agree that in the event this Agreement is terminated upon a Specified Termination Event, OCBB shall pay HomeStreet an amount equal to two million two hundred eleven thousand two hundred ($2,211,200) (the “Termination Fee”), plus the amount of any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation the attorney, accountants and financial advisors’ fees (in the case of the financial advisors’ fees, grossed up to compensate HomeStreet for the impact of any special fee attributable to the termination of this Agreement) and other costs and expenses of any kind and nature whatsoever incurred by the terminating party (and including the costs incurred by the party’s Affiliates and Representatives) in the course of such party’s negotiation, investigation, and documentation of this Agreement and its performance in pursuit of the Transactions (such amount, the “HomeStreet Expense Reimbursement”) as follows:

Section 8.4    Specific Performance.
(a)    The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that in any such case any breach of this Agreement could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, a Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled under the terms of this Agreement, at law or in equity. In pursuing such a claim, a party shall not be obligated to prove damages as a result of such breach

62



or threatened breach, and each party agrees not to raise such a defense. No party shall raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of a party under this Agreement. In seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, no party shall be required to post a bond or undertaking in connection with such order or injunction sought in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.4, nor shall any party assert a claim or defense to an action for injunctive relief which claim or defense is based upon the failure to post such a bond or undertaking.
(b)    Notwithstanding any contrary construction of Section 8.4(a), under no circumstances shall any HomeStreet Party be entitled to specific enforcement of this Agreement at any time when there exists an Acquisition Proposal that OCBB Board has advised HomeStreet it believes in good faith may be or may be negotiated in such a manner as to become a Superior Proposal, or at a time or under circumstances when OCBB has announced a Change in Recommendation. In such an event, the sole remedy of HomeStreet for termination of this Agreement shall be the entitlement to receive the Termination Fee and the HomeStreet Expense Reimbursement as provided in Section 8.3.
ARTICLE 9.    MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1    Survival. No representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time (other than agreements or covenants contained herein that by their express terms are to be performed after the Effective Time) or the termination of this Agreement if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time (other than Section 6.7(g), Section 8.2 and this Article 9, which shall survive any such termination). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated or extinguished so as to deprive a party hereto or any of its Affiliates of any defense at law or in equity which otherwise would be available against the claims of any Person, including without limitation any shareholder or former shareholder.
Section 9.2    Waiver; Amendment. Prior to the Effective Time, any provision of this Agreement may be (a) waived, by the party benefited by the provision or (b) amended or modified at any time, by an agreement in writing among the parties hereto executed in the same manner as this Agreement, except that after the OCBB Meeting no amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval by the shareholders of OCBB without obtaining such approval.
Section 9.3    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original.
Section 9.4    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Washington applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

63



Section 9.5    Expenses. Each party hereto will bear all expenses incurred by it in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, including fees and expenses of its own Representatives, provided that nothing contained herein shall limit either party’s rights to recover any liabilities or damages arising out of the other party’s fraud or breach of any provision of this Agreement.
Section 9.6    Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder to a party shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if personally delivered, sent by facsimile (with confirmation of receipt) or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or delivered by an overnight courier (with confirmation) to such party at its address set forth below or such other address as such party may specify by notice to the parties hereto.

other oral or written agreements heretofore made.

Section 9.8    Severability. Except to the extent that application of this Section 9.8 would have a Material Adverse Effect on OCBB or HomeStreet, any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

In the event attorneys’ fees or other costs are incurred to secure performance of any of the obligations herein provided for, or to establish damages for the breach thereof, or to obtain any other appropriate relief, whether by way of prosecution or defense, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred therein.
Section 9.10    Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of, or Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Whenever the words “as of the date hereof” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to mean the day and year first above written.
Section 9.11    Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
