     This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D filed on April 3, 2007 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”) by Security Pacific Bancorp (the “Company”) and Ezri Namvar collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc., f/k/a LIFE Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Schedule 13D filed on June 1, 2007, Amendment No. 2 to the Initial Schedule 13D filed on July 13, 2007 and Amendment No. 3 to the Initial Schedule 13D filed on July 26, 2007. References to this “Schedule 13D” are to the Initial Schedule 13D as amended by the aforementioned amendments and this Amendment No. 4. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meaning given in the Initial Schedule 13D.
ITEM 3. See Item 4 below, discussion of Margin Loan.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     The Company acquired the Warrant and the Common Stock of the Issuer for investment purposes and to gain a significant equity interest in the Issuer.
     As bank holding companies, the Issuer and the Company are subject to extensive supervision and regulation by bank regulatory authorities. The Company received the necessary bank regulatory approvals to acquire the Warrant and additional shares of the Common Stock representing up to 24.9% of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the shares of the Common Stock underlying the Warrant. The acquisition of shares by the Company (other than by exercising the Warrant) representing more than 24.9% of the Common Stock and the exercise of the Warrant would require additional bank regulatory approvals.
     Subject to receiving the necessary bank regulatory approvals and satisfying applicable federal and state bank regulatory requirements, and depending on several factors, including the prospects of the Issuer, general market and economic conditions, the Limit (as defined on page 2 and 3 of this Amendment No. 4) and other factors deemed relevant, the Reporting Persons and their affiliates may (i) exercise the Warrant, in whole or in part, to acquire some or all of the 1,166,400 shares of the Common Stock underlying the Warrant, (ii) transfer the Warrant, in whole or in part, (iii) continue to hold the Warrant, (iv) acquire additional shares of the Common Stock, (v) dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock, (vi) continue to hold the shares of the Common Stock or (vii) obtain loans for which some or all of the shares of the Common Stock would be pledged as collateral.
     On August 16, 2007, the Company pledged 402,802 shares of the Common Stock as collateral to secure a margin loan from Pershing LLC (the “Margin Loan”). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Margin Loan for working capital purposes. The Company may prepay the Margin Loan at any time and may, from time to time, enter into other margin loan arrangements with respect to the shares of the Common Stock.
     Other than as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have any current plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would result in any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     (a) As of August 16, 2007, each of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of 1,572,202 shares of Common Stock (which includes 1,166,400 shares of Common Stock that the Company has the right to acquire pursuant to the Warrant). Based upon information available to

the Reporting Persons, the Issuer had approximately 5,163,488 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 14, 2007. Therefore, the 1,572,202 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons constitutes approximately 24.8% of the 5,163,488 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 14, 2007, giving effect to the issuance of 1,166,400 shares upon exercise of the Warrant.
     (b) The Reporting Persons share the power to vote and dispose of all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them.
     (c) Other than as described in Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons engaged in any transactions in the Common Stock since the date on which Amendment No. 3 was filed on July 26, 2007.
     (d) Not applicable.
     (e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
     Except for the Margin Loan described above in Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among them or between them and any person which are required to be reported pursuant to Item 6 of the Instructions to Schedule 13D.
