TO THE


WEST COAST BANK


SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN


FOR


JAMES D. BYGLAND


Adopted:  On date of last signature below


Effective: July 1, 2005


RECITALS

	
  
A.
  	
  
Effective   August 1, 2003, West Coast Bank and West Coast Bancorp (collectively referred   to as “the Company”) adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan   (“SERP”) for James D. Bygland (the “Executive”).
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
B.
  	
  
The SERP   provides that the Executive will receive an annual Normal Retirement Benefit   for 15 years. The other benefits payable under the SERP (Early Voluntary   Termination Benefit, Early Involuntary Termination Benefit, Disability   Benefit, Change in Control Benefit and Death Benefit) are all derived from   the Normal Retirement Benefit.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
C.
  	
  
The Normal   Retirement Benefit is a fixed dollar amount that is stated in Schedule A to   the SERP.  At the time the SERP was   adopted, this dollar amount represented thirty-five percent (35%) of the   Executive’s then current base salary.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
D.
  	
  
The Company   now desires to adjust the Executive’s SERP benefits to reflect the   Executive’s current base salary and to further provide that the Executive’s   SERP benefits will be automatically adjusted for future changes in the   Executive’s base salary.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
E.
  	
  
The   Executive understands that these changes may make the entire benefit accrued   under the SERP subject to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code § 409A   and is agreeable to making these changes.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
F.
  	
  
To implement these changes, the Company
and the Executive now agree to amend the SERP on the following—
