CASCADE BANCORP


INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


 


This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”)
dated as of [_____], is made between Cascade Bancorp, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), and [_____] (“Indemnitee”).


 


RECITALS


 


A.           Indemnitee
is [currently serving] [willing to serve] as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company, and in such capacity Indemnitee
[is performing] [will perform] valuable services for the Company.


 


B.           The
Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) provide for the indemnification of members of its Board
of Directors to the full extent permitted by the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the “Act”).


 


C.           The
Act is not exclusive in the rights provided, and it contemplates that agreements may be entered into between the Company and the
members of its Board of Directors, as well as its officers, employees and/or agents with respect to the indemnification of such
directors, officers, employees and/or agents.


 


D.           In
order to induce Indemnitee to [continue to] serve as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company, the Company has
agreed to enter into this Agreement with Indemnitee.


 


AGREEMENT


 


In consideration of the recitals above,
the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and Indemnitee’s [continued] service as a director, officer, employee
and/or agent, as the case may be, of the Company after the date hereof, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:


 


1.           Indemnity
of Indemnitee


 


1.1           Scope.
If Indemnitee was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation,
as a witness) in any Proceeding (as defined below), the Company agrees to and shall hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes
or penalties, amounts paid in settlement and other expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding) (collectively, “Damages”)
to the full extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by this Agreement,
the Articles, the bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), the Act or otherwise.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


In the event of any change, after the date
of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute or rule regarding the right of an Oregon corporation to indemnify a member of
its Board of Directors, such changes, to the extent that they would expand Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, shall be within
the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations hereunder, and, to the extent that they would narrow
Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, shall be excluded from this Agreement.


 


1.2           Nonexclusivity.
The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled
under the Act, the Articles, the Bylaws, any agreement, any general or specific action of the Company’s Board of Directors,
vote of shareholders or otherwise. To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement
and the Articles or Bylaws, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Indemnitee shall enjoy the greater benefits regardless
of whether contained herein, in the Articles or in the Bylaws. No amendment or alteration of the Articles or Bylaws or any other
agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement.


 


1.3           Partial
Indemnity. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of Indemnitee’s expenses incurred in any Proceeding, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company
shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.


 


1.4           Burden
of Proof. In connection with any determination by the Board of Directors, any court or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is
entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the Board of Directors or court shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable
standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the burden of proof shall be on the Company or its representative to
establish, by clear and convincing evidence, that Indemnitee is not so entitled.


 


1.5           Reliance
as Safe Harbor. Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any action or omission to act undertaken (i) in good faith
reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements
furnished to Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or
by committees of the Board of Directors, or by any other person as to matters Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other
person’s professional or expert competence, or (ii) on behalf of the Company in furtherance of the interests of the Company
in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of legal counsel or accountants, provided such legal counsel
or accountants were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or
failures to act, of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes
of determining the right to indemnity hereunder.


 




    	2



    	 



    

 


1.6           Definition
of Proceeding. For purposes of this Agreement, “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, in which Indemnitee
is, was or becomes involved by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company
or that, being or having been such a director, officer, employee and/or agent, Indemnitee is or was serving at the Company’s
request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (collectively a “Related Company”), including service with
respect to an employee benefit plan, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action (or inaction) by Indemnitee in an official
capacity as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee or agent; provided, however, that, except with respect to an action to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement, “Proceeding” shall not include any action, suit or proceeding instituted by or at the direction of Indemnitee
unless such action, suit or proceeding is or was authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors.


 


1.7           Survival.
The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall apply to any and all Proceedings, notwithstanding that Indemnitee has ceased
to be a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of the Company or a Related Company.


 


1.8           Liability
Insurance. The Company shall use its best efforts to purchase and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable
insurance companies with A.M. Best ratings of “A” or better, providing Indemnitee with coverage for any liability asserted
against, or incurred by, Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director,
officer, employee and/or agent of the Company or that, being or having been such a director, officer, employee and/or agent, Indemnitee
is or was serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign
or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, including service with respect
to an employee benefit plan, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under
the provisions of this Agreement. Such insurance policies shall have coverage terms and policy limits at least as favorable to
Indemnitee as the insurance coverage provided to any other director or officer of the Company. If the Company has such insurance
in effect at the time the Company receives from Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of a Proceeding, the Company shall give
prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy.
The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all
amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy.


 


2.           Expense
Advances


 


2.1           Generally.
Subject to Section 2.2, the right to indemnification of Damages conferred by Section 1 shall include the right to have the Company
pay Indemnitee’s expenses in any Proceeding as such expenses are incurred and in advance of such Proceeding’s final
disposition (such right is referred to hereinafter as an “Expense Advance”). The Indemnitee’s right to an Expense
Advance is absolute and shall not be subject to any condition that the Company’s Board of Directors shall not have determined
that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable law.


 


2.2           Conditions
to Expense Advance. The Company’s obligation to provide an Expense Advance is subject to the following conditions:


 




    	3



    	 



    

 


2.2.1           Undertaking.
If the Proceeding arose in connection with Indemnitee’s service as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the Company
(and not in any other capacity in which Indemnitee rendered service, including service to any Related Company), then Indemnitee
or his or her representative shall have executed and delivered to the Company a written undertaking, which must be an unlimited
general obligation, but shall be unsecured and interest-free and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial
ability to make repayment, by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay all Expense Advances if and to the extent that it shall ultimately
be determined by a final, unappealable decision rendered by a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the question that
Indemnitee did not meet the standard of conduct described in 60.391 of the Act.


 


2.2.2           Cooperation.
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably request and as shall be within Indemnitee’s
power.


 


2.2.3           Affirmation.
Indemnitee shall furnish, upon request by the Company and if required under applicable law, a written affirmation of Indemnitee’s
good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct described in 60.391 of the Act.


 


3.           Priority


 


3.1          Company
Fully and Primarily Responsible. Given that certain Jointly Indemnifiable Claims may arise due to the relationship between
the Fund Entities and the Company, and the service of Indemnitee as a Director of the Company at the request of the Fund Entities,
the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be fully and primarily responsible for the indemnification and advancement
of expenses of Indemnitee in connection with any such Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, irrespective of any right of recovery Indemnitee may have from the Fund Entities or any of their respective
Affiliates. Under no circumstances shall the Company be entitled to any right of contribution by the Fund Entities or any of their
Affiliates and no right of recovery Indemnitee may have from the Fund Entities or any of their respective Affiliates shall reduce
or otherwise alter the rights of Indemnitee or the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.


 


3.2          Definitions.
For purposes of this Section 3:


 


3.2.1           Affiliate.
“Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person, any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or
under common control with, such other person. For purposes of this definition, (i) “control” (including, with correlative
meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) when used with respect to any person,
means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to cause the direction of management and/or policies of such person,
whether through the ownership of voting securities by contract or otherwise or for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended, and (ii) “person” has the meaning given to it in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any successor statute and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2)
of the Exchange Act.


 




    	4



    	 



    

 


3.2.2           Fund
Entities. “Fund Entities” shall mean any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise (other than the Company or any other corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise as to which Indemnitee has agreed, on behalf
of the Company or at the Company’s request, to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent and which service is covered
by this Agreement) from whom Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in
whole or in part, the Company may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.


 


3.2.3           Jointly
Indemnifiable Claims. “Jointly Indemnifiable Claim” shall mean any claim for which Indemnitee may be entitled to
indemnification both from any Fund Entity, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, pursuant to applicable law, any
indemnification agreement or the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate
of formation, certificate of limited partnership or comparable organizational documents of the Company or such Fund Entity.


 


4.           Procedures
for Enforcement


 


4.1          Enforcement.
In the event that a claim for indemnity, an Expense Advance or otherwise is made hereunder and is not paid in full within twenty
calendar days after written notice of such claim is delivered to the Company, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter
bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim (an “Enforcement Action”).


 


4.2          Presumptions
in Enforcement Action. In any Enforcement Action the following presumptions (and limitation on presumptions) shall apply:


 


(a)          The
Company shall conclusively be presumed to have entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereunder
in order to induce Indemnitee to [continue to] serve as a director, officer, employee and/or agent, as the case may be, of the
Company;


 


(b)          Neither
(i) the failure of the Company (including the Company’s Board of Directors, independent or special legal counsel or the Company’s
shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of the Enforcement Action that indemnification of Indemnitee
is proper in the circumstances nor (ii) an actual determination by the Company, its Board of Directors, independent or special
legal counsel or shareholders that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification shall be a defense to the Enforcement Action or
create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; and


 


(c)          If
Indemnitee is or was serving as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of a corporation of which a majority of the shares
entitled to vote in the election of its directors is held by the Company or in an executive or management capacity in a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which the Company or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is a general partner
or has a majority ownership, then such corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise shall conclusively be deemed
a Related Company and Indemnitee shall conclusively be deemed to be serving such Related Company at the request of the Company.


 




    	5



    	 



    

 


4.3          Attorneys’
Fees and Expenses for Enforcement Action. In the event Indemnitee is required to bring an Enforcement Action, the Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all of Indemnitee’s fees and expenses in bringing and pursuing the Enforcement
Action (including attorneys’ fees at any stage, including on appeal); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to provide such indemnity for such attorneys’ fees or expenses if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each
of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such Enforcement Action was not made in good faith or was frivolous.


 


5.           Limitations
on Indemnity; Mutual Acknowledgment


 


5.1          Limitation
on Indemnity. No indemnity pursuant to this Agreement shall be provided by the Company:


 


(a)          On
account of any suit in which a final, unappealable judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from
the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company in violation of the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act;


 


(b)          For
Damages that have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of officers’ and directors’
liability insurance maintained by the Company;


 


(c)          On
account of Indemnitee’s conduct which is finally adjudged to fall within one or more of the exclusions set forth in the Act;
or


 


(d)          If
a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful.


 


5.2          Regulatory
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including without limitation the last sentence of Section 2.1),
the Company shall not be required to make any indemnification payment (including without limitation any Expense Advance) to the
extent such payment is prohibited or limited pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 1828(k) or by 12 C.F.R. Part 359 and any such payment made shall
be in compliance with requirements imposed pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 1828(k) or by 12 C.F.R, Part 359 (including without limitation
any required agreements of Indemnitee)


 


6.           Notification
and Defense of Claim


 


6.1          Notification.
Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to
notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement unless
and only to the extent that such omission can be shown to have actually and materially prejudiced the Company’s ability to
defend the Proceeding.


 




    	6



    	 



    

 


6.2          Defense
of Claim. With respect to any such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:


 


(a)          The
Company may participate therein at its own expense;


 


(b)          The
Company, by itself or jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, may assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Company
shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses (other than reasonable costs of investigation)
subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has
been authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between
the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel
to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company
or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above. For the avoidance of doubt, Indemnitee shall
not be required to utilize counsel selected by or representing the Company or any other Indemnitee without the express consent
of Indemnitee, which consent may be withheld in his or her discretion;


 


(c)          The
Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected
without its written consent;


 


(d)          The
Company shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s
written consent; and


 


(e)          Neither
the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold its, his or her consent to any proposed settlement.


 


(f)          To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company’s assumption of the defense of a Proceeding pursuant to this Section 6 will
constitute an irrevocable acknowledgement by the Company that any expenses incurred by or for the account of Indemnitee in connection
therewith are indemnifiable by the Company hereunder.


 




    	7



    	 



    

 


7.          Subrogation


 


In the event of payment under this Agreement
by or on behalf of the Company, except as provided in Section 3, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment
to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers that may be required and shall do all things that
may be necessary to secure such rights, including without limitation, the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable
the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. The Company shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.


 


8.          Severability


 


Nothing in this Agreement is intended to
require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s
inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable, as provided in this Section 8. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall
be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to
the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of
this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.


 


9.           Governing
Law; Binding Effect; Amendment and Termination; Specific Performance


 


(a)          This
Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon.


 


(b)          This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors
(including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. The Company
shall require and cause any successor(s) (whether directly or indirectly, whether in one or a series of transactions, and whether
by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or a significant portion of the business and/or assets of the Company
and/or its subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis), by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee,
expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required
to perform if no such succession had taken place; provided that no such assumption shall relieve the Company from its obligations
hereunder and any obligations shall thereafter be joint and several.


 


(c)          No
amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties.


 


(d)          The
parties recognize that if any provision of this Agreement is violated by the parties hereto, Indemnitee may be without an adequate
remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any such violation, Indemnitee shall be entitled, if Indemnitee so elects, to institute
proceedings, either in law or at equity, to obtain damages, to obtain specific performance, to enjoin such violation, or to obtain
any relief or any combination of the foregoing as Indemnitee may elect to pursue.
