2.01 Each Member who participates in this Plan shall be enrolled as a Member of

first Board of Directors meeting after his or her election or appointment to the
Board of Directors, or (ii) the first day of the calendar month coinciding with
or following March 21, 1997.

2.02 On the first day a Director is no longer a member of the Board of
Directors, his membership in the Plan shall terminate.

Article 3. Payment of Deferred Fees and Interest

3.01 Deferral Elections. Annually during the month of December, a Member may
irrevocably elect in writing on an Adoption Agreement provided by the Plan
Administrator to defer an amount equal to all or a portion of his or her
Director’s Fees that would otherwise be payable in the following Plan Year.

Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, a Member who first becomes a Member on a
date after January 1 of a Plan Year may elect to defer receipt of all or a
portion of his or her Director’s Fees that would otherwise be payable in the
remainder of the initial Plan Year of eligibility with respect to services to be
performed subsequent to the date he or she is enrolled as a Member. That
election must be made in writing within thirty (30) days after the date he or
she becomes a Member, and shall be irrevocable as to any Director’s Fees payable
in the remainder of that Plan Year.

A Member’s Adoption Agreement for the prior Plan Year shall continue to be
followed for the subsequent Plan Year, unless the Member changes or terminates
that Adoption Agreement in the month of December with respect to that subsequent
Plan Year.

3.02 Interest Credited to Accounts. A Member’s deferred Director’s Fees shall be
credited to his Accounts. His pre-2005 deferred Director’s Fees shall be
credited to a pre-2005 Grandfathered Account, and his post-2004 deferred
Director’s Fees shall be credited to a post-2004 Account. As of the first day of
each calendar month, the Plan Administrator shall credit to each Member’s
respective Accounts interest on the average daily balance of such Account during
the immediately preceding calendar month, using the actual number of days in the
calendar month, at the average 5 year CMT rate for the preceding month as set
forth in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15.

3.03 Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account. A Member’s Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account
shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable at all times and shall become payable to
the Member upon the expiration of the deferral period irrevocably elected by the
Member in the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Member’s initial Adoption Agreement. A Member’s initial Adoption Agreement for
his or her Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account may provide that the Member’s deferral
period will end on a specified date or the date he or she ceases to be a Member.

Any deferral election for his or her Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account to a
specified future distribution date must be for at least two Plan Years, so that
the earliest specified future distribution date that a Member may elect will be
January 1 following two Plan Years of deferral (counting the Member’s initial
Plan Year of eligibility if he or she first becomes a Member on a date after
January 1 of a Plan Year).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member or former Member may make a one-time
irrevocable election at least two years prior to the specified future
distribution date he or she originally elected for his Pre-2005 Grandfathered
Account to change the specified future distribution date on which payments will
commence, provided that election changes the specified future distribution date
to a date that is not earlier than January 1 following two Plan Years of
deferral, counting the Plan Year in which the one-time irrevocable election to
change the specified future distribution date is made (for example, if the
one-time irrevocable election to change the specified future distribution date
is made in 2004, that specified future distribution date may be no earlier than
January 1, 2006).

A Member or former Member shall irrevocably elect, within sixty (60) days after
the date his or her deferral period ends, to receive his or her Pre-2005
Grandfathered Account in a lump sum payment or a specified number of annual
installments not to exceed ten (10) years, beginning as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Member or former Member makes such election. If the Member
or former Member makes no election within such 60-day period, his or her
Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account shall be paid in ten (10) annual installment
payments beginning as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiration of
that 60-day period.

3.04 Post-2004 Account. A Member’s Post-2004 Account shall be 100% vested and
nonforfeitable at all times and shall become payable to the Member upon the
expiration of the deferral period elected by the Member in the Member’s initial
Adoption Agreement. A Member’s initial Adoption Agreement for his or her
Post-2004 Account may provide that the Member’s deferral period will end on a
specified date or the date he ceases to be a Member. In accordance with the Code
Section 409A transition rules, an existing Member may make this initial Adoption
Agreement election on or before December 31, 2008 as to the date the deferral
period will expire for the Member’s Post-2004 Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member or former Member may later elect at
least 12 months prior to the date on which the Member’s deferral period for his
or her Post-2004 Account would otherwise have ended to change the specified
future distribution date on which payments will commence, provided that election
changes the specified future distribution date to a date that is at least five
(5) years later than the Member’s deferral period for his or her Post-2004
Account would otherwise have ended.

All Members must elect no later than December 31, 2008 to receive their
Post-2004 Account at the end of the Member’s deferral period in a lump sum or in
annual installments not to exceed ten (10) years. New Members after December 31,
2008 must elect at the time they become a

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Member to receive their Post-2004 Account at the end of the Member’s deferral
period in a lump sum or in annual installments not to exceed ten (10) years. A
Member may later elect at least twelve (12) months prior to the date on which
the Member’s deferral period for his or her Post-2004 Account would otherwise
have ended to change the form of payment the Member previously elected to a lump
sum payment or a specified number of annual installments not to exceed ten
(10) years, provided that election also changes the distribution date of the
Member’s Post-2004 Account to a date that is at least five (5) years later than
the Member’s deferral period for his or her Post-2004 Account would otherwise
have ended or to a date permitted by Code Section 409A regulations or IRS
guidance, if that date would be earlier.

3.05 Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account Death Benefit. If a Member dies prior to the
commencement of payments from his or her Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account, the
Member’s Beneficiary shall irrevocably elect, within sixty (60) days after the
date of the Member’s death, to receive the Member’s Pre-2005 Grandfathered
Account in a lump sum payment or a specified number of annual installments not
to exceed ten (10) years, beginning as soon as reasonably practicable after the
Beneficiary makes that election. If the Beneficiary makes no election within
that 60-day period, the Member’s Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account will be paid to
the Beneficiary in ten (10) annual installments, beginning as soon as reasonably
practicable after the expiration of that 60-day period. If a Member dies after
payments to the Member have already commenced and the Member had elected
installment payments with respect to that Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account, the
Member’s Beneficiary shall receive the remaining annual installment payments
that would otherwise have been paid to the Member. This Paragraph 3.05 also
applies to former Members who still have a Pre-2005 Grandfathered Account
balance at the time of their death.

3.06 Post-2004 Account Death Benefit. If a Member dies prior to the commencement
of payments from his or her Post-2004 Account, the Member’s Beneficiary shall
receive the Member’s Post-2004 Account in the most recent form of payment
properly elected by the Member prior to his or her death in accordance with the
terms of this Plan. If the Member made no form of payment election, the Member’s
Post-2004 Account will be paid to the Beneficiary in ten (10) annual
installments, beginning as soon as reasonably practicable after the Member’s
death. If a Member dies after payments to the Member have already commenced and
the Member had elected installment payments, the Member’s Beneficiary shall
receive the remaining annual installment payments that would otherwise have been
paid to the Member. This Paragraph 3.06 also applies to former Members who still
have a Post-2004 Account balance at the time of their death.

3.07 Unforeseeable Emergency Withdrawals. In the event of an unforeseeable
emergency, the Member may withdraw all or part of his or her deferred Director’s
Fees and any interest thereon. Provided, that the amount received by the Member
as a result of the revocation or the amount withdrawn shall be limited to the
amount necessary to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency plus amounts necessary
to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution.

“Unforeseeable emergency” means a severe financial hardship to the Member
resulting from an illness or accident of the Member, the Member’s spouse, or a
dependent of the Member (as defined in Code Section 152(a)), loss of the
Member’s property due to casualty, or other similar

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events
beyond the Member’s control. Whether circumstances constitute such an
unforeseeable emergency depends on the facts of each case as determined by the
Plan Administrator in his or her discretion. Payment may not be made if the
unforeseeable emergency may be relieved:

(a) Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; or

(b) By liquidation of the Member’s assets, to the extent that liquidation itself
would not cause severe financial hardship.

This Paragraph 3.07 also applies to former Members who incur an unforeseeable
emergency and who still have a Plan Account balance.

If a Member obtains a payment upon an unforeseeable emergency, the Member’s
existing deferral election under this Plan shall terminate.

Article 4. Source and Method of Payments

4.01 All payments of benefits under the Plan shall be paid from, and shall only
be a general claim upon, the general assets of the Bank, notwithstanding that
the Bank in its discretion, may establish a bookkeeping reserve or a grantor
trust (as such term is used in Sections 671 through 677 of the Code) to reflect
or to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan with respect to any
Member or prospective member or beneficiary. No Member shall have any right,
title or interest whatever in or to any investments which the Bank may make or
any specific assets which the Bank may reserve to aid it in meeting its
obligations under the Plan.

Article 5. Designation of Beneficiaries

5.01 The Beneficiary is the individual designated by the Member on a Beneficiary
Designation Form provided by the Plan Administrator, who shall be entitled to
receive the balance of a Member’s Accounts upon a Member’s death at the time and
in the form of payment described in Paragraphs 3.05 and 3.06 of this Plan.

5.02 If no valid Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of a Member’s
death, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Member, the Member’s estate
shall be deemed to have been designated his Beneficiary and shall be paid the
balance of the Member’s Accounts upon the Member’s death at the time and in the
form of payment described in Paragraphs 3.05 and 3.06 of the Plan. If the Plan
Administrator is in doubt as to the right of any person to receive such amount,
the Plan Administrator may pay such amount into any court of appropriate
jurisdiction and such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of
the Plan and the Bank.

Article 6. Administration of the Plan

6.01 The Board of Directors has delegated to the Plan Administrator, subject to
those powers which the Board has reserved as described in Article 7 below,
general authority over and responsibility for the administration of the Plan.
The Plan Administrator shall interpret and construe the Plan, make all
determinations considered necessary or advisable for the

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

administration of the Plan, and the calculations of the amounts payable
thereunder, and review claims under the Plan. The Plan Administrator’s
interpretations and constructions of the Plan and his or her decisions or
actions thereunder shall be binding and conclusive on all persons for all
purposes.

6.02 If the Plan Administrator deems it advisable, it shall arrange for the
engagement of an actuary, legal counsel and/or certified public accountants (who
may be counsel or accountants for the Bank), and other consultants, and make use
of agents and clerical or other personnel, for purposes of the Plan. The Plan
Administrator may rely upon the written opinions of such actuary, counsel,
accountants, and consultants, and upon any information supplied for purposes of
Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04 of the Plan, and delegate to any agent its
authority to perform any act hereunder, including without limitation those
matters involving the exercise of discretion; provided, however, that such
delegations shall be subject to revocation at any time at the discretion of the
Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall report to the Board of
Directors at least once each calendar year with regard to the matters for which
it is responsible under the Plan.

6.03 The Plan Administrator shall not receive any special compensation for
serving in such capacity but shall be reimbursed for any reasonable expenses
incurred in connection therewith. No bond or other security need be required of
the Plan Administrator or any member thereof in any jurisdiction.

6.04 The Plan Administrator shall establish its own procedures and the time and
place for its meetings and provide for the keeping of minutes of all meetings.

6.05 All claims under the Plan shall be submitted in writing to the Plan
Administrator, which will make its determination regarding claims and provide
written notice of the decision on each such claim with reasonable promptness to
the Member or his beneficiary (the “claimant”). The claimant may request a
review by the Plan Administrator of any decision denying the claim in whole or
in part. Such request shall be made in writing and filed with the Plan
Administrator within 30 days of such denial. A request for review shall contain
all additional information which the claimant wishes the Plan Administrator to
consider. The Plan Administrator may hold any hearing or conduct any independent
investigation which it deems desirable to render its decision and the decision
on review shall be made as soon as feasible after its receipt of the request for
review. Written notice of the decision on review shall be furnished to the
claimant. For all purposes under the Plan, such decisions on claims (where no
review is requested) and decisions on review (where review is requested) shall
be final, binding and conclusive on all interested persons as to all matters
relating to the Plan.

6.06 All expenses incurred by the Plan Administrator in its administration of
the Plan shall be paid by the Bank.

Article 7. Amendment and Termination

7.01 The Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate, in whole or in
part, the Plan without the consent of the Plan Administrator, any Member,
beneficiary or other person, except that no amendment, suspension or termination
shall retroactively impair or otherwise

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

adversely affect (without consent) the rights of any Member, beneficiary or
other person to the Member’s Accounts under the Plan which have accrued prior to
the date of such action, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion, provided, however, that such Accounts shall continue to be adjusted
thereafter to reflect interest earned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
termination of the Plan by the Board shall be subject to the provisions of Code
Section 409A and applicable regulations regarding restrictions on the Board’s
right to terminate the Plan and to distribute Post-2004 Accounts.

Article 8. General Provisions

8.01 The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Bank and its
successors and assigns and the Members, and their successors, assigns, designees
and estates. The Plan shall also be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successor organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and
business of the Bank, but nothing in the Plan shall preclude the Bank from
merging or consolidating into or with, or transferring all or substantially all
of its assets to, another organization which assumes the Plan and all
obligations of the Bank hereunder. The Bank agrees that it will make appropriate
provision for the preservation of the Members’ rights under the Plan in any
agreement or plan which it may enter into to effect any merger, consolidation,
reorganization, or transfer of assets. Upon such a merger, consolidation,
reorganization, or transfer of assets and assumption of Plan obligations of the
Bank, the term “Bank” shall refer to such other organization and the Plan shall
continue in full force and effect to the extent such successor organization has
assumed the Plan. If such successor organization does not assume the Plan, the
Bank remains liable for payment of Plan benefits under this Plan.

8.02 No right or interest of a Member under the Plan may be assigned, sold,
encumbered, transferred or otherwise disposed of and any attempted disposition
of such right or interest shall be null and void.

8.03 If the Plan Administrator shall find that any person to whom any amount is
or was payable under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of
illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment, or any part
thereof, due to such person or his estate (unless a prior claim thereof has been
made by a duly appointed legal representative), may, if the Plan Administrator
is so inclined, be paid to such person’s spouse, adult child or other relative,
an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person
deemed by the Plan Administrator to be a proper recipient on behalf of such
person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be in complete
discharge of the liability of the Plan and the Bank thereof.

8.04 The unpaid balance of any Account maintained pursuant to this Plan is an
unsecured, general obligation of the Bank. All amounts deferred hereunder remain
the unrestricted assets of the Bank. Any assets purchased shall remain the sole
property of the Bank subject to the claims of its general creditors and shall be
available for the Bank’s use for whatever purpose desired. No participant
hereunder shall have any right other than the unsecured promise of the Bank to
pay deferred Director’s Fees in the future. No Member has ownership rights with
respect to any asset of the Bank by reason of his or her participation in this
Plan. A Member will receive a statement of his Account(s) twice each year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.05 All elections, designations, requests, notices, instructions, and other
communications from a Member, beneficiary or other person to the Plan
Administrator required or permitted under the Plan shall be in such form as is
prescribed from time to time by the Plan Administrator and shall be mailed by
first-class mail or delivered to such location as shall be specified by the Plan
Administrator and shall be deemed to have been given and delivered only upon
actual receipt thereof at such location.

8.06 The Plan Administrator shall not be personally liable by reason of any
instrument executed by him or on his behalf, or action taken by him, in his
capacity as Plan Administrator nor for any mistake of judgment made in good
faith, unless due to the Plan Administrator’s fraud, bad faith or willful
misconduct. The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Plan Administrator
and each employee, officer or director of the Bank, to whom any duty, power,
function or action in respect of the Plan may be delegated or assigned, against
any cost or expense (including fees of legal counsel) and liability (including
any sum paid in settlement of a claim or legal action with the approval of the
Bank) arising out of anything done or omitted to be done in connection with the
Plan, unless arising out of such person’s gross negligence, fraud, bad faith or
willful misconduct.

8.07 As used in the Plan, the masculine gender shall be deemed to refer to the
feminine, and the singular person shall be deemed to refer to the plural,
wherever appropriate.

8.08 The captions preceding the section of the Plan have been inserted solely as
a matter of convenience and shall not in any manner define or limit the scope or
intent of any provisions of the Plan.

8.09 The Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the
laws of the State of Washington in effect from time to time. Venue shall also be
in the State of Washington.

This amended and restated Deferred Compensation Plan for the Board of Directors
has been duly executed by the Bank’s authorized representative this 3rd day of
December , 2008, to be effective as of January 1, 2005.
