 THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 28, 2004 (“Effective Date”), by and among PLACER
SIERRA BANCSHARES, a California corporation (“PLSB”), PLACER SIERRA BANK, a California banking corporation (“PSB”), and ROBERT C. CAMPBELL, JR. (“Employee”) (collectively sometimes referred to as the
“Parties”): 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties desire to
enter into an agreement for the purpose of retaining Employee’s services as President of the Bank of Orange County, a California banking corporation (“BOC”), up and until the effective date of the merger (“Merger Date”)
contemplated by and between PSB and BOC, and, thereafter, as President of the Bank of Orange County Division of PSB (for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Bank” shall refer to BOC prior to the Merger Date and PSB on and after the
Merger Date); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties intend this
Agreement to supercede any and all previous employment agreements between Employee and PLSB, PSB or BOC (and each of their parent companies, shareholders, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns), including that
certain Employment Agreement, dated January 1, 2002, by and between BOC and Employee. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
  
 1. Employment and Duties. Employee is hereby employed by PLSB as President of BOC until the Merger Date. On and after the Merger Date, Employee shall be employed by PSB as President of the Bank of
Orange County Division of PSB. Employee shall be responsible for performing such duties as are customarily and ordinarily performed by a regional president of a bank, including the duties described on Exhibit “A” hereto. Employee will also
perform such duties as he may, from time to time, be called upon to assist companies affiliated with Bank, and such other attendant duties as he may, from time to time, be reasonably requested to perform by the Board of Directors of Bank (the
“Board”). 
  
 2. Extent of
Services. 
  
 (a) Exclusive
Employment. Employee shall devote his full time, ability and attention to the business of Bank and its parent companies, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates, during the Employment Term, and shall neither directly nor indirectly render any
services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person, firm, corporation or organization for compensation without the prior written consent of the Board. 
  
 (b) Employee Investment Activities. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
preventing Employee from (i) investing his personal assets in businesses which do not compete with Bank in such form or manner as will not require any services on the part of Employee in the operation or the affairs of the companies in which such
investments are made and in which his participation is solely that of an investor, (ii) purchasing securities in any corporation whose securities are regularly traded provided that such purchase shall not result in Employee collectively owning
beneficially at any time five percent or more of the equity 
  

 securities of any corporation engaged in a business competitive to that of Bank, and (iii) participating
in conferences, preparing or publishing papers or books or teaching so long as Bank approves of such activities prior to Employee’s engaging in them. 
  
 3. Term of Employment. Subject to prior termination of this Agreement as hereinafter provided in section 5, Bank hereby employs
Employee, and Employee hereby accepts employment with Bank, for a period of three (3) years beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Employment Term”). 
  
 4. Compensation and Benefits. In consideration of
Employee’s services to Bank during the Employment Term, Bank agrees to compensate Employee, subject to such limitations as may exist under any federal or state banking law or regulation, as follows: 
  
 (a) Base Compensation. Bank shall pay
or cause to be paid to Employee a base compensation of $250,000.00 per year during the Employment Term (hereinafter the “Base Salary”), less payroll taxes and withholding required by federal, state or local law and any additional
withholding to which Employee agrees in writing. Said Base Salary shall be payable in semi-monthly installments in accordance with Bank’s normal payroll procedures. The Base Salary shall be prorated for any partial year in which this Agreement
is in effect. 
  
 (b) Executive
Incentive Bonus. In addition, Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Bank’s Executive Incentive Plan, in accordance with the terms and conditions of said plan, as the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may establish
from time to time. 
  
 (c) Deferred
Compensation. In the event the Bank should establish a deferred compensation plan, Employee shall be eligible to participate in said plan, in accordance with the terms and conditions of said plan, as the Bank, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may establish from time to time. 
  
 (d) General Expenses. Bank shall, upon submission and approval of written statements and bills in accordance with the then regular procedures of Bank, reimburse Employee for any and all reasonable necessary, customary
and usual expenses incurred by him while traveling for or on behalf of Bank, and any and all other necessary, customary or usual expenses (including entertainment) incurred by Employee for or on behalf of Bank in the normal course of business, as
determined to be appropriate by Bank. 
  
 (e)
Health, Life and Disability Insurance. Bank shall provide for Employee’s participation in group medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance benefits available under the group insurance programs maintained by Bank
for its employees. The amount paid by Bank for such group medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance for Employee shall be an amount equal to that portion paid by Bank for each of its employees in accordance with its usual and customary
practices. Employee shall have the right, in Employee’s discretion, to designate the beneficiary or beneficiaries of any such insurance. Bank reserves the right to modify and amend such benefits from time to time. As provided under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) respecting continuation of any insurance coverage, Employee shall, upon a loss of any such coverage for himself under Bank’s health, dental, and/or vision plans (if any)
resulting from (1) termination of Employee’s 
  

 2 

 employment (for any reason other than for gross misconduct) or (2) a reduction in his hours, be entitled
to exercise her COBRA rights. Employee shall pay all premiums for any such continuation coverage(s) elected by Employee.  
  
 (f) Automobile Allowance. During the Employment Term, Employee shall be entitled to an automobile allowance in the
amount of $900 per month (less payroll taxes and withholding required by federal, state or local law). In addition, Bank shall pay the amounts charged by Employee for fuel for business related travel on a credit card provided by Bank to Employee.
Except for this automobile allowance and payment of fuel charges, Bank shall not be obligated to pay any other expenditure with respect to the ownership or operation of Employee’s automobile, and Employee will be responsible for all
out-of-pocket automobile expenses, including, but not limited to, registration, insurance, repairs, and maintenance. Employee shall procure and maintain an automobile liability insurance policy on the automobile, with coverage including Employee for
at least $100,000 for bodily injury or death to any one person, $300,000 for bodily injury or death in any one accident, and $50,000 for property damage in any one accident. The Bank shall be named as an additional insured and Employee shall provide
Bank with copies of policies evidencing insurance and Bank’s inclusion as an additional insured. 
  
 (g) Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to four weeks (20 days) paid vacation leave per year, which shall accrue on
a daily basis. Such vacation leave shall be taken at such time or times as are mutually agreed upon by Employee and the Board and in accordance with Bank’s vacation leave policy, provided, that at least two (2) weeks of such vacation shall be
taken consecutively. Employee acknowledges that the requirement of two (2) consecutive weeks of vacation is required by sound banking practice. For each calendar year, the Board shall decide, in its discretion, either (1) to pay Employee for any
unused vacation time for such calendar year or (2) to carry over any unused vacation time for such calendar year to the next calendar year, provided, however, that Employee shall not accrue additional vacation time at any time that the Employee has
accrued any unused vacation time of seven (7) weeks. 
  
 (h) Stock Options. All stock options relating to shares of PLSB common stock (including those assumed by PLSB in connection with its merger with Southland Capital Co., as adjusted by the exchange ratio used in the
merger) held by Employee as of the date hereof shall vest immediately.

Bank upon written notice to Employee, and Employee shall not be entitled to receive Base Salary or any other compensation or other benefits for any period after termination for cause. Employee understands and agrees that his satisfactory performance
of this Agreement requires conformance with reasonable standards of diligence, competence, skill, judgment and efficiency of a person holding a position that is analogous to the position of regional president of a bank similar to Bank, and as

of material dishonesty; 
  
 (ii) Any
material breach of this Agreement;

during the Employment Term for any fidelity bond as described in section 7 of this Agreement;

any client, customer, agent or employee to break any contract or terminate the agency or employment relationship with the Bank or any parent company, shareholder, subsidiary, division or affiliate. 
  
 Termination for cause by Bank shall not constitute a waiver of any remedies
that may otherwise be available to Bank under law, equity, or this Agreement.

upon notice to Employee, and in the event that Bank so elects to terminate this Agreement, Bank shall continue to pay Employee his normal compensation through the end of such 90 day period. Thereafter, Employee shall not be entitled to receive
compensation or other benefits under this Agreement, provided, however, that Employee shall be entitled to receive Vested Benefits, as defined hereinabove, and COBRA rights, as defined hereinabove. 
  
 (f) Early Termination Upon Disability.
This Agreement and all benefits hereunder shall terminate if Employee is not able, as a result of an illness or other physical or mental disability, to perform the essential functions of his position as required by this Agreement for a period of
ninety (90) consecutive days or in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days in any one (1) year period, notwithstanding reasonable accommodation by Bank to Employee’s known physical or mental disability, solely in accordance with, and to the
extent required by, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 29 U.S.C. Sections 12101-213 or any other state or local law governing the employment of disabled persons (the “ADA”) provided such accommodation would not impose an undue hardship
on the operation of Bank’s business or a direct threat to the Employee or others pursuant to the ADA. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Bank pursuant to this section 5(f): 
  
 (i) Employee shall be entitled to disability benefits
provided by the disability insurance coverage identified in section 5(f) of this Agreement; and 
  
 (ii) All other benefits provided for under this Agreement shall cease as of the date of termination (except insofar as the group
insurance benefits provided under section 5(f) may be continued or convertible by Employee as provided under COBRA or other laws applicable at the time of termination).

licensed to practice medicine in California and are to be selected with the approval of Bank and Employee. Upon demand by Bank, Employee shall act promptly to select such physician or psychiatrist jointly with Bank and shall consent to undergo any
reasonable examination or test. Recurrent disabilities will be treated as separate disabilities if they result from unrelated causes or if they result from the same or related cause or causes and are separated by a continuous period of at least
twelve (12) full months during which Employee was able to perform his duties hereunder equal to at least eighty percent (80%) of his 

  

 8 

 
capacity prior to disability. Otherwise, recurrent disabilities will be treated as a continuation of previous disabilities for the purpose of determining the
limitations established in this Section. 
  
 (g) Death During Employment. This Agreement and all benefits hereunder shall terminate immediately upon the death of Employee, except that Employee’s heirs or estate shall also be entitled to receive Vested
Benefits, as defined hereinabove, and Employee’s dependants may be entitled to COBRA rights, as defined hereinabove. 
  
 6. Survival of Obligations. The provisions of Sections 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 24 and 27 of this Agreement shall survive
Employee’s termination of employment and the termination of this Agreement. Other provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination of Employee’s employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of each Party’s
respective rights and obligations. 
  
 7. Fidelity
Bond. Employee agrees that he will furnish all information and take any other steps necessary to enable Bank to obtain or maintain a fidelity bond conditional on the rendering of a true account by Employee of all moneys, goods, or other
property which may come into the custody, charge or possession of Employee during the Employment Term. The surety company issuing the bond and the amount of the bond must be acceptable to Bank and satisfy all banking laws and regulations. All
premiums on the bond are to be paid by Bank. If Employee cannot qualify for a fidelity bond at any time during the term of this Agreement, Bank shall have the option to terminate this Agreement immediately, which shall constitute a termination for
cause as defined in section 5(d) hereof.

other data, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to Bank’s business and affairs, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession, and on termination of his employment, or on demand of Bank, at any time to

subsidiary, division or affiliate thereof, an opportunity to claim a competitive advantage or has economic value. 
  
 (b) During his employment with Bank, Employee will not use, copy, transmit or otherwise disclose Bank’s Proprietary
Information for any purpose other than for the benefit of Bank, and Employee will make all reasonable efforts to protect the confidential nature of such information. Employee will not disclose Bank’s Proprietary Information to anyone not
entitled to such disclosure without the advance written permission of the Chairman of the Board.

already in the public domain; (ii) independently developed by the Employee; (iii) obtained from a source not subject to a confidentiality obligation to Bank or a third party; or (iv) that becomes public knowledge (other than by acts of the Employee

business, person or company. 
  
 12. Equitable
Relief. Employee acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach by her of the provisions of Sections 9, 10 and 11 of this Agreement will result in immediate and irreparable harm to Bank, for which there will be no adequate remedy at law,
and that Bank will be entitled (subject to section 27) to equitable relief to restrain Employee from violating the terms of these sections, or to compel Employee to cease and desist all unauthorized use and disclosure of the Confidential
Information, without posting bond or other security. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including recovery of damages from Employee.

  
 13. Property of Others. Employee
represents that his performance under this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence confidential information or trade secrets, if any, acquired by Employee in confidence prior to this Agreement. There are no
agreements, written or oral, conveying rights in any research conducted by Employee. Employee represents, as part of the consideration for entering into this Agreement, that he has not brought and will not bring to Bank or use in the performance of
his responsibilities at Bank any equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of any current or former employer or organization with which he provided services which are not generally available to the public, unless he has obtained
written authorization for their possession and use. 
  
 14.
Non-Competition by Employee. Employee shall not, during his employment with Bank, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, shareholder, corporate officer, director, or in any
other individual or representative capacity, work for, or engage or participate in the business of, any competing company, bank, bank holding company or financial holding company or financial institution or financial services business without the
prior written consent of the Board. 
  
 15.
Indemnification. Bank shall indemnify Employee, to the maximum extent permitted under the Bylaws of Bank and governing laws and regulations, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Employee in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding to which Employee is made a party by reason of his position as an officer or agent of Bank or by reason of his service at
the request of Bank, if Employee acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Bank. If available at rates determined by Bank, in its sole discretion, to be reasonable, Bank shall endeavor
to apply for and 

  

 11 

 
obtain Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance to indemnify and insure Bank and Employee from such liability or loss. Employee shall indemnify
Bank from and against all costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), liability and damages arising out of any act of misconduct, other than actions taken in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of Bank, by Employee during the term of this Agreement. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any administrative proceeding or civil action initiated by any federal banking agency, Bank may only reimburse, indemnify or hold harmless Employee if Bank is in compliance with any applicable statute,
rule, regulation or policy of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the California Department of Financial Institutions regarding permissible
indemnification payments. 
  
 16. Breach.
Breach by either Party of any of its respective obligations under Sections 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this Agreement shall be deemed a material breach of that Party’s obligations hereunder, provided, however, that no breach of a

 26. Interpretation. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and not strictly for or
against any of the Parties hereto. Captions and section headings used herein are for convenience and ready reference only and shall not be used in the construction or interpretation thereof.

RELEASE AGREEMENT 
  
 This Release Agreement (“Release”) was given to me, ROBERT C. CAMPBELL, JR. (“Employee”), this
             day of             , 200        , by Placer Sierra
Bank, a California banking corporation (“Bank”). At such time as this Release becomes effective and enforceable (i.e., the revocation period set forth below has expired), and assuming such Employee is otherwise eligible for payments under
the terms of that certain Employment Agreement between Employee and Bank dated as of June         , 2004 (the “Agreement”), Bank agrees to pay Employee, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,
a single sum severance payment in the amount of $             (less payroll taxes and withholding required by any federal, state or local law, any additional withholding to which
Employee has agreed, and any outstanding obligations owed by the Employee to Bank). Bank further agrees to pay to Employee Employee’s pro rated incentive bonus, if any, to which Employee is entitled pursuant to the terms of Bank’s
Executive Incentive Plan (less payroll taxes and withholding required by any federal, state or local law and any additional withholding to which Employee has agreed), provided that the Bank shall be obligated to pay Employee’s incentive bonus
under the Bank’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan at the same time as it makes payment of any other incentive bonuses paid to other officers of the Bank under such plan and shall not be obligated to make such payment to Employee at any
earlier time. 
  
 Employee is also entitled to receive (i) those
benefits, if any, that have vested by operation of state or federal law or under any written term of a plan (“Vested Benefits”), and (ii) health care coverage continuation rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1985, as amended. 
  
 In consideration of the receipt of the
promise to pay such amount, Employee hereby agrees, for herself, her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (hereinafter referred to as the “Releasors”), to fully release and discharge Bank and each of its parent
companies, shareholders, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, partners, directors, members, managers, employees and agents, and each of their respective predecessors, successors, heirs and assigns
(hereinafter referred to as the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, suits, causes of action, debts, obligations, costs, losses, liabilities, damages and demands under any federal, state or local law or laws, or contract, tort or common
law, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, which the Releasors have, or hereafter may have, against the Releasees arising out of or in any way related to Employee’s employment (or other contractual relationship) with Bank and/or the
termination of that relationship. The claims released herein include claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act,
the U.S. Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the U.S. Family and Medical Leave Act, the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, the U.S. Equal Pay Act, The Workers Adjustment and Notification Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and the California
Labor Code. Provided, however, that this Agreement does not waive rights or claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that may arise after the date this Release is executed. 
  

 18 

 It is understood and agreed that this Release extends to all such claims and/or potential claims, and
that Employee, on behalf of the Releasors, hereby expressly waives all rights with respect to all such claims under California Civil Code section 1542, which provides as follows: 
  
 A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does 
 not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing 
 the release, which if known by him must have materially affected 
 his settlement with the debtor.

  
 The monies to be paid to the Employee in this Release are in
addition to any sums to which he would be entitled without signing this Release. 
  
 Employee acknowledges that he has read and does understand the provisions of this Release. Employee acknowledges that he affixes his signature hereto voluntarily and without coercion, and that no promise or inducement
has been made other than those set out in this Release and that he executes this Release without reliance on any representation by any Releasee. 
  
 Employee understands that this Release involves the relinquishment of his legal rights, and that he has the right to, and has been given the opportunity
to, consult with an attorney of his choice. Employee acknowledges that he has been (and hereby is) advised by Bank that he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release. 
  
 This document does not constitute, and shall not be admissible as evidence of, an admission by any Releasee as to any fact
or matter. 
  
 In case any part of this Release is later deemed to
be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, Employee agrees that the legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Release will not be affected in any way. 
  
 Employee acknowledges that he has been given a period of twenty-one (21) days from receipt of this Release within which to
consider this Release and decide whether or not to execute this Release. If Employee executes this Release at any time prior to the end of the 21 day period, such early execution was a knowing and voluntary waiver of Employee’s right to
consider this Release for at least 21 days, and was due to his belief that he had ample time in which to consider this Release. 
  
 Employee may, within seven (7) days of his execution and delivery of this Release, revoke this Release by a written document received by Bank on or before
the end of the seven (7) day period. The Release will not be effective until said revocation period has expired. No payments will be made hereunder if the Employee revokes this Release.

	VII.	 	ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS AND OPPORTUNITIES 

  
 Achievement Levels and Award Opportunities for 2004 have been approved as shown on Exhibit A, I-V hereto and are expressed as a percentage of base
salary. This assumes that GAAP earnings are achieved at various levels of the Company’s GAAP earnings for 2004 and illustrates the maximum Award Opportunity at each specified Achievement Level. Mathematical interpolation will be used to
calculate Awards for Achievement between the levels established as shown on Exhibit A, I-V. 
  

	VIII.	 	AWARDS 

  
 Awards under the Plan will be determined by the Incentive Committee based upon achievement of Performance Measures and will be submitted to the
Compensation Committee for approval. 
  
 For purposes of the
Plan, base salary paid during the Plan Year will be used to calculate Awards. This will include base salary and annual leave pay but will not include any other kind of payment or compensation. 
  
 Awards for individuals who are Participants for less than a full Plan Year
will be prorated using Participants actual base salary paid during the time of participation during the Plan Year. Awards for Participants who leave the Company during a Plan Year due to retirement, total and permanent disability, death or
termination not-for-cause will be prorated using the same method. 
  
 To be eligible to receive an Award under the Plan, a Participant must have a performance descriptor of “Achieves Expectations” or better for 2004.

	IX.	 	ADJUSTMENTS 

  
 Performance Measures and Achievement Levels may be adjusted during the Plan Year only upon approval by the Compensation Committee, as it deems
appropriate. It is anticipated that such adjustments will be made infrequently and only in the most extraordinary circumstances. 
  

	X.	 	PAYMENT OF AWARDS 

  
 Awards will be paid as soon as administratively feasible, after review of Performance Measure Achievement Levels and approval by the Compensation
Committee. To be eligible for Award payment, a participant must be an employee of the Company on the date that Awards are paid or have left the Company during the Plan Year due to retirement, total and permanent disability, death or termination
not-for-cause. 
  
 Awards will be made through the payroll
system, minus legally required and authorized deductions. Awards under the Plan will be considered eligible compensation or not as defined by each specific employee benefit plan for purposes of employee benefit calculations.

	XI.	 	NO RIGHT OF ASSIGNMENT 

  
 No right or interest of any Participant in the Plan is assignable or transferable. In the event of a Participant’s death, payment of any earned but
unpaid Awards will be made to the Participant’s legal successor, if not prohibited by law. 
  

	XII.	 	NO RIGHT OF EMPLOYMENT 

  
 The Plan does not give any employee any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and does not constitute any
contract or agreement of employment or interfere in any way with the right the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has to terminate such person’s employment. The Company and each subsidiary of the Company is an “at will” employer
and as such, can terminate an employment relationship between itself and any of its employees at will, with or without cause. 
  

	XIII.	 	AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 

  
 Placer Sierra Bancshares reserves the right to change, amend, modify, suspend, continue or terminate all or any part of the Plan either in an individual
case or in general, at any time without notice.
