STIPULATION RE: REMAINING ISSUES IN DISPUTE

CASE NO. CIV-06-01892 WBS EFB

sa-52216

Plaintiff Umpqua Bank (“Umpqua”) and Defendant Woodbury Financial Services, Inc. 

(“Woodbury”), by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

1. This litigation involves a contractual dispute regarding whether Woodbury 

breached any obligations owed under the provisions of a Third Party Brokerage Arrangement 

entered between the parties on or about July 22, 2003 (“TPBA”). Under the TPBA, Woodbury 

was to pay Western Sierra National Bank, now Umpqua, commissions for certain financial 

services transactions entered into by Registered Representatives of Woodbury who were also 

employees of Western Sierra.

2. Woodbury has filed a motion to compel discovery from Umpqua that is set for 

hearing on June 20, 2007 before Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan. 3. The parties are currently participating in settlement negotiations. They agree that

the only issues remaining in dispute in this matter relate to two transactions performed by Kereti 

Tuioti described in Exhibit A, attached hereto, and are identified as follows:

a. Whole life case in 2005 split with Sylvia Chin in the amount of $30,338.32.

b. Whole life case in 2006 split with Kris Zurinsky in the amount of $15,479.19.

4. Accordingly, the parties hereby agree that only the transactions described in 

paragraph 3 above shall be considered at trial in determining the balance of any monies owed by 

Woodbury to Umpqua, if any, resulting from unpaid commissions due to Umpqua pursuant to 

the terms of the TPBA. 5. Therefore, the remaining claim to be tried between the parties is Umpqua’s

Breach of Contract claim for commission payments. Umpqua’s Breach of Contract claim is 

limited to whether or not the transactions described in paragraph 3 above fall under the TPBA. 

All other claims or causes of action by Umpqua against Woodbury are hereby dismissed with 

prejudice, including Umpqua’s claims for breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair 

dealing, declaratory relief, unlawful and unfair business practices, and intentional interference 

with prospective economic advantage.
