ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

3.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of 1CAP:

(a) Effect on 1CAP Common Stock. Each share of 1CAP Common Stock (collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive 0.36 shares of WCCB Common Stock subject to possible adjustment as set forth below (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). If the 1CAP Adjusted Stockholder Equity is less than the Minimum Capital Requirement after making all adjustments required by the terms of this Agreement, then the Per Share Merger Consideration will be reduced on a per share basis by an amount, rounded to the nearest thousandth, determined by dividing (1) the Minimum Capital Requirement less the 1CAP Adjusted Stockholder Equity by (2) the product of (a) 1CAP Shares as of the Closing Date and (b) WCCB Closing Market Value, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Per Share Merger Consideration be less than 0.30 shares of WCCB Common Stock.

(b) At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (each, a “Certificate”, it being understood that any reference herein to “Certificate” shall be deemed, as appropriate, to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of 1CAP Common Stock, and it being further understood that provisions herein relating to Certificates shall be interpreted in a manner that appropriately accounts for book-entry shares, including that, in lieu of delivery of a Certificate and a letter of transmittal as specified herein, shares held in book-entry form may be transferred by means of an “agent’s message” to the Exchange Agent or such other evidence of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.

(c) Effect on 1CAP RSUs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the Effective Time, each 1CAP RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, fully vest and be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive (without interest) that number of shares of WCCB Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of 1CAP Common Stock subject to such 1CAP RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Merger Consideration, which shall be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date (or on such later date if required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(d) Effect on WCCB Common Stock. The shares of WCCB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be converted or otherwise affected by the Merger.

(e) No Effect on Capital Stock of SCCB. The Merger shall have no effect on the capital stock of SCCB.

(f) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and cease to exist.

(g) Dissenting Shares. Any shares of 1CAP Common Stock or WCCB Common Stock held by a Person who dissents from the Merger in accordance with the provisions of applicable law shall be herein called “Dissenting Shares.” Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Dissenting Shares shall not, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote for any purpose or receive any dividends or other distributions and shall be entitled only to such rights as are afforded in respect of Dissenting Shares pursuant to applicable law. The Per Share Merger Consideration for any Dissenting Share shall be paid over to WCCB by the Exchange Agent pending the determination as to the rights of any Dissenting Share to consideration under applicable laws.

3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At the Effective Time, WCCB shall make available or cause to be made available to an exchange agent selected by WCCB with 1CAP’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (the “Exchange Agent”), amounts in cash and WCCB Common Stock sufficient in order for the Exchange Agent to distribute the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time), WCCB shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of shares of 1CAP Common Stock (a “Record Holder”) (other than holders of Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) represented by Certificates: (i) a letter of transmittal specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(g)) to the Exchange Agent, such customary letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as WCCB and 1CAP may reasonably agree; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(g)) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of the Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and executed, the Record Holder shall be entitled to promptly receive in exchange for each share of 1CAP Common Stock represented by such surrendered Certificates the Per Share Merger Consideration which the Record Holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i) hereof (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.3), with any amount of less than one cent being rounded

up to the nearest whole number. Certificates so surrendered shall be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. WCCB shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of 1CAP to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, WCCB shall be entitled to deposit the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect thereof in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. All shares of WCCB Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and, whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by WCCB in respect of the WCCB Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the WCCB Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 3.2(g)) is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article III. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 3.2(g)), there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of WCCB Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date at or after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of WCCB Common Stock and not paid and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of WCCB Common Stock with a record date at or after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to the time of such surrender.

(d) Transfers. The Per Share Merger Consideration delivered in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon the surrender of the Certificates shall be deemed to have been delivered in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares (other than the right to receive the payments and deliveries contemplated by this Article III). At the Effective Time, holders of Certificates shall cease to have rights with respect to 1CAP Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates, and such holders’ sole rights (other than the holders of Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall be to exchange such Certificates for the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of the shares represented thereby. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of 1CAP of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to WCCB or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration to which the holder of the Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article III.

(e) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of WCCB Common Stock will be issued in respect of a holder’s Shares. In lieu thereof, any holder of Shares entitled to receive a fractional share of WCCB Common Stock but for this Section 3.2(e) shall be entitled to receive a cash payment, which

payment shall be calculated by the Exchange Agent as an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional share interest times (ii) WCCB Closing Market Value. All fractional shares to which a single record holder of Shares would otherwise be entitled to receive hereunder shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to three decimal places.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including cash, and certificates representing shares of WCCB Common Stock) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of 1CAP for 180 days after the Effective Time (or such other time as shall be expressly provided in the agreement with the Exchange Agent with respect to the Exchange Fund), shall be delivered to WCCB. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) that has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall, after any remaining portion of the Exchange Fund has been delivered to WCCB, thereafter look only to WCCB for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.3) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of WCCB, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by WCCB, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by WCCB as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will distribute the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each Share represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

3.3 Withholding Rights. WCCB and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of 1CAP Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by WCCB or Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts (i) shall be timely remitted by WCCB to the applicable Governmental Authority, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of 1CAP Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by WCCB, as the case may be.

Each FISB Benefit Plan which is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Pension Plan”) and which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS, and 1CAP is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter or the loss of the qualification of such Pension Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. Neither 1CAP nor 1BANK has received any correspondence or written or verbal notice from the IRS, DOL, any other governmental agency, any participant in or beneficiary of, an FISB Benefit Plan, or any agent representing any of the foregoing that brings into question the qualification of any such FISB Benefit Plan. There is no material pending or, to either 1CAP’s or 1BANK’s knowledge, threatened litigation relating to the FISB Benefit Plans. Neither 1CAP nor 1BANK has engaged in a transaction with respect to any FISB Benefit Plan or Pension Plan that could subject it to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount which would be material.

No notice of a “reportable event,” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any Pension Plan or by any ERISA Affiliate or will be required to be filed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. There has been no termination or partial termination, as defined in Section 411(d) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, of any Pension Plan.

(iv) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any FISB Benefit Plan have been timely made. Neither any Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and no ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. Neither 1CAP nor 1BANK has provided, nor is required to provide, security to any Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

(vi) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.2(n)(vi) of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution of this Agreement nor consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, either alone or in connection with a subsequent event, (A) entitle any employees or any current or former director or independent contractor of 1CAP or 1BANK to severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon any termination of employment after the date hereof, (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the FISB Benefit Plans, (C) result in any breach or violation of, or a default under, any of the FISB Benefit Plans, (D) result in any payment that would be a “parachute payment” to a “disqualified individual” as those terms are defined in Section 280G of the Code, without regard to whether such payment is reasonable compensation for personal services performed

or to be performed in the future or (E) result in any payment or portion of any payment that would not be deductible by 1CAP under Section 162(m) of the Code when paid.

1CAP and 1BANK shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and the Representatives of 1CAP, 1BANK and their Subsidiaries to, (A) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and (B) not terminate, waive, amend, release or modify any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to

which it or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and shall enforce the provisions of any such agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining 1CAP Requisite Shareholder Approval, (1) 1CAP or 1BANK receives a written Acquisition Proposal that the 1CAP Board believes in good faith to be bona fide, (2) such Acquisition Proposal was unsolicited and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.5(a), (3) the 1CAP Board determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is more likely than not to result in a Superior Proposal and (4) the 1CAP Board determines in good faith (and based on the advice of outside counsel) that the failure to take the actions referred to in clause (x) or (y) below would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of 1CAP under applicable Law, then 1CAP may (x) furnish information with respect to 1CAP and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement containing terms substantially similar to, and no less favorable to 1CAP than, those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that any non-public information provided to any Person given such access shall have been previously provided to WCCB and SCCB or shall be provided to WCCB and SCCB prior to or concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided that prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing provisos or engaging in any discussions or negotiations, 1CAP shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to 1CAP than the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Neither the 1CAP Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) effectuate an Adverse Recommendation Change; (ii) cause or permit 1CAP to enter into an Alternate Acquisition Agreement; or (iii) resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event 1CAP receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal and the 1CAP Board concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is more likely than not to result in a Superior Proposal, the 1CAP Board shall nevertheless cause the 1CAP Shareholders Meeting to be held in accordance with Section 6.7(b) herein, but may, to the extent that the 1CAP Board concludes in good faith (and based on the advice of outside counsel) that failure to take such action would result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, submit this Agreement to its shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement may not be rescinded or amended) in which event the 1CAP Board may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to the shareholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by law; provided, however, that 1CAP may not submit this Agreement to its shareholders without recommendation unless (A) 1CAP promptly notifies WCCB in writing at least five (5) Business Days before taking that action of its intention to do so, and specifying the reasons therefor, including the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any amendment to any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice by 1CAP and a new five (5) Business Day

period) and (B) prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, WCCB does not make a proposal to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement that the 1CAP Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) after giving effect to, among other things, the payment of the WCCB Termination Fee set forth in Section 8.2(a)(ii), that such action is no longer required by its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of 1CAP under applicable Law.

During the five (5) Business Day period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change as referred to above, 1CAP shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with WCCB in good faith (to the extent WCCB seeks to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by WCCB.

(c) In addition to the obligations of 1CAP set forth in Section 6.5(a) and Section 6.5(b), 1CAP shall promptly, and in any event within 24 hours of receipt, advise WCCB in writing in the event 1CAP or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives receives (i) any Acquisition Proposal or indication by any Person that it is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any request for information, discussion or negotiation that is reasonably likely to lead to or that contemplates an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any inquiry, proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, in each case together with the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (to the extent such terms and conditions are known to 1CAP), request, inquiry, proposal or offer and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, request, inquiry, proposal or offer, and shall furnish WCCB with a copy of such Acquisition Proposal (or, where such Acquisition Proposal is not in writing, with a description of the material terms and conditions thereof). 1CAP shall keep WCCB informed (orally and in writing) in all material respects on a timely basis of the status and details (including, within 24 hours after the occurrence of any amendment, modification, discussion or negotiation of any such Acquisition Proposal, request, inquiry, proposal or offer, including furnishing copies of any written inquiries, correspondence and draft documentation, and written summaries of any material oral inquiries or discussions. Without limiting any of the foregoing, 1CAP shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify WCCB orally and in writing if it determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 6.5(a) or Section 6.5(b) and shall in no event begin providing such information or engaging in such discussions or negotiations prior to providing such notice.

(d) 1CAP agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.5 by any Representative of 1CAP or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of 1CAP or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement by 1CAP.

(e) 1CAP shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that (i) would restrict 1CAP’s ability to comply with any of the terms of this Section 6.5; or (ii) relates to any

Acquisition Proposal that would materially impair 1CAP’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) 1CAP shall not take any action to exempt any Person (other than WCCB, SCCB and their respective Affiliates) from the restrictions on “business combinations” or any similar provision contained in any Antitakeover Law or otherwise cause such restrictions not to apply, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(g) 1CAP agrees that, prior to the termination of this Agreement, it shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) or propose to do so.

6.6 1CAP Shareholder Recommendation.

In such event, 1CAP shall cooperate with WCCB in the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such Proxy Statement-Offering Circular that corrects such misstatement or omission, and WCCB shall file an amended Proxy-Statement Prospectus with the DFPI, as required, and shall mail such supplement or amendment to holders of 1CAP Common Stock and WCCB Common Stock entitled to vote at the 1CAP Shareholders Meeting and the WCCB Shareholders Meeting, respectively, at the earliest practicable time.

(b) Shareholders’ Meetings and Approvals. 1CAP will as promptly as practicable after the receipt of the DFPI Permit, take all steps necessary to give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders of 1CAP (the “1CAP Shareholders Meeting”), for the purpose of considering this Agreement and the Merger, and for such other purposes as may be, in 1CAP’s reasonable judgment, necessary or desirable. WCCB will promptly as practicable after the receipt of the DFPI Permit take all steps necessary to give notice of, convene, and hold a meeting of the shareholders of WCCB (the “WCCB Shareholders Meeting”), for the purpose of considering the Agreement and the Merger, and for such other purposes as may be, in WCCB’s reasonable judgment, necessary or desirable.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.13(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, will promptly notify WCCB and SCCB, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve indemnification obligations which WCCB or SCCB may have to such Indemnified Party; provided that failure to so notify will not affect the obligations of WCCB and SCCB under Section 6.13(a) unless and to the extent that WCCB or SCCB is actually and materially prejudiced as a consequence.

Prior to the Effective Time, 1CAP and 1BANK shall take all action necessary to fully vest participants in their account balances under any and all 401(k) Plans 1CAP and 1BANK maintain.

(b) Participation in ▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plans.

With respect to each ▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plan, ▇▇▇▇ agrees that for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and benefits (other than benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan), service with 1CAP and/or 1BANK shall be treated as service with ▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. To the extent permitted by any insurer of a ▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plan, WCCB shall cause such ▇▇▇▇ Plan to waive: (i) any pre-existing condition restriction that did not apply under the terms of any analogous FISB Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to a Former 1BANK Employee on or after the Effective Time to the extent such Former 1BANK Employee had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous FISB Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plan.

(c) Severance Program. Other than as set forth on Schedule 6.16(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, any former employee of 1BANK (excluding any such employee who is party to an employment agreement or change-in-control agreement which provides for severance payments) whose employment is terminated (other than for cause) at the request of WCCB (but by and in the sole discretion of 1CAP and 1BANK) prior to the Effective Time, or is terminated by WCCB or SCCB within twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, shall be entitled to receive severance payments in an amount equal to two (2) weeks’ base pay for each full year of

service based upon the employee’s date of hire (plus a prorated amount for each partial year of service), such service determined by taking into account service with 1CAP, 1BANK, WCCB and SCCB, with a minimum of four (4) weeks and a maximum of twenty-six (26) weeks of base pay; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 6.16 an employee shall also be considered to be terminated by WCCB or SCCB if such person resigns after (i) any significant reduction in base salary or incentive compensation from that paid or made available immediately prior to the Closing Date or (ii) being required to be based at any office or location more than forty miles by car from where the person was based on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of responsibilities and commensurate with the amount of travel required prior to the Closing Date.

6.17 Certain Policies. Prior to the Closing Date, 1BANK shall, consistent with GAAP and applicable banking laws and regulations, to the extent requested by WCCB, modify or change its loan, OREO, accrual, reserve, tax, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) so as to be applied on a basis that is consistent with that of WCCB; provided, however, that no such modifications or changes need be made prior to the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 7.1(a); and further provided that in any event, no accrual or reserve made by 1BANK pursuant to this Section 6.17 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 1CAP or 1BANK or their respective management with any such adjustments.

6.18 Covenant Relating to the Tax Status of the Agreement Neither 1CAP nor WCCB shall take or cause to be taken any action, whether before or after the Effective Time, that would disqualify or would reasonably be expected to disqualify the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

6.19 Human Resources Issues 1BANK will consult in good faith with SCCB regarding the nature and content of any formal presentation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to employees of 1BANK as a group and will include a WCCB representative in any such group presentation or any formal group meeting at which the transaction is explained or discussed, under an arrangement that is mutually satisfactory to the parties. WCCB agrees to work in good faith with 1BANK to facilitate the timely and accurate dissemination of information to employees regarding matters related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in such a manner as to cause minimal disruption of the business of 1BANK and their respective relationships with their employees and to facilitate the transition of such relationships to WCCB, as the case may be. In addition, prior to making any written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of 1BANK pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, 1BANK shall provide WCCB with a copy of the intended communication, WCCB shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and WCCB and 1BANK shall cooperate in providing any such mutually agreeable communication.

6.20 Third-Party Agreements 1CAP shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain (i) the consents or waivers or otherwise required to be obtained from any third-parties in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (in such form and content as is approved in writing by WCCB) promptly after the date of this Agreement and (ii) the cooperation of such third parties to effect a smooth transition in accordance with WCCB’s timetable at or after the Effective Time. 1CAP and 1Bank shall cooperate with WCCB and SCCB in minimizing the extent to which any Contracts will continue in effect following the Effective Time, in additional

1CAP shall use all reasonable efforts to provide data processing, item processing and other processing support of outside contractors to assist WCCB in performing all tasks reasonably required to result in a successful conversion of the data and other files and records of 1CAP to WCCB’s production environment, when requested by WCCB and in such a manner sufficient to ensure that a successful conversion will occur at the time (on or after the Effective Time) designated by WCCB. Among other things, 1CAP shall:

•cooperate with WCCB to establish a mutually agreeable project plan to effectuate the conversion;
