                  on the first day of the month following the Executive's death.

<PAGE>

         (c)      ALTERNATIVE LUMP-SUM PAYMENT. Instead of the installment
                  payments under subsection (b) above, the Compensation
                  Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect, either upon a
                  request by the Beneficiary or upon its own motion, to pay the
                  Pre-Retirement Death Benefit in a lump-sum payment as follows:

                  (1)      The payment will be equal to the Normal Retirement
                           Age Accrual Balance.

                  (2)      The lump-sum payment will be paid to the Beneficiary
                           by the earlier of the following dates:

                           (A)      Sixty (60) days after the lump-sum payment
                                    is requested by the Beneficiary; or

                           (B)      Such other date as elected by the
                                    Compensation Committee in its sole
                                    discretion.

4.2      DEATH DURING PAYMENT OF A BENEFIT. If the Executive dies after any
         benefit payments have commenced under Article 3, the Company shall pay
         the remaining benefits to the Executive's Beneficiary either:

         (a)      At the same time and in the same amounts they would have been
                  paid to the Executive had the Executive survived; or

         (b)      In the Committee's sole discretion, upon a request by the
                  Beneficiary or upon its own motion, in a lump-sum payment. The
                  amount of the lump-sum payment shall be determined under the
                  provisions for calculating the alternative lump-sum payment
                  for the particular type of benefit the Executive was
                  receiving. If the Executive was receiving the Normal
                  Retirement Benefit, the lump sum payment shall be the lump sum
                  present value of the remaining payments as of the date of
                  payment, determined using an annual rate of six percent (6%)
                  interest compounded monthly.

4.3      DEATH BEFORE PAYMENTS COMMENCE. If the Executive is entitled to a
         benefit under Article 3, but dies before benefit payments begin, the
         Company shall pay the Executive's Beneficiary either:

         (a)      The same benefit payments that the Executive was entitled to
                  at the date of the Executive's death, except that the benefit
                  payments shall commence as of the first day of the month
                  following the Executive's death; or

         (b)      The lump sum equivalent of those benefits as determined under
                  Section 4.2(b).

                                  BENEFICIARIES

5.1      DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. The Executive may designate the Beneficiary
         or Beneficiaries (who may be designated concurrently or contingently)
         to receive the death benefit under the Plan under the following terms
         and conditions:

         (a)      The beneficiary designation must be in a form satisfactory to
                  the Compensation Committee and must be signed by the
                  Executive.

         (b)      A beneficiary designation shall be effective upon receipt by
                  the Compensation Committee or its designee, provided it is
                  received before the Executive's death.

         (c)      The Executive may revoke a previous beneficiary designation
                  without the consent of the previously designated Beneficiary.
                  This revocation is made by filing a new beneficiary
                  designation form with the Compensation Committee or its
                  designee, and shall be effective upon receipt.

5.2      DIVORCE. A divorce will automatically revoke the portion of a
         beneficiary designation designating the former spouse as a Beneficiary.
         The former spouse will be a Beneficiary under this SERP only if a new
         beneficiary designation is filed after the date the dissolution decree
         is entered.

5.3      DISCLAIMERS. If a Beneficiary disclaims a death benefit, the benefit
         will be paid as if the Beneficiary had predeceased the Executive.

5.4      DEATH OF BENEFICIARY. If a Beneficiary who is in pay status dies before
         full distribution is made to the Beneficiary, the unpaid balance of the
         distribution will be paid to the Beneficiary's estate.

5.5      DEFAULT BENEFICIARY. If, at the time of the Executive's death, the
         Executive has failed to designate a Beneficiary, the Executive's
         beneficiary designation has become completely invalid under the
         provisions of this Article or there is no surviving Beneficiary,
         payment of the death benefit will be made in the following order of
         priority:

         (a)      To the Executive's spouse, if living;

         (b)      To the Executive's surviving children, in equal shares; or

         (c)      To the Executive's estate.

         the Accrual Balance are listed in Column (2) of Schedule A to this
         SERP.

6.5      REPORTING. The Compensation Committee will report the Accrual Balance
         to the Executive at least annually and within a reasonable period of
         time not to exceed 30 days after the date of the Termination of
         Employment if the Executive is to be paid the Early Voluntary
         Termination, Early Involuntary Termination or Disability Benefit.

         (b)      The Company shall not pay the Pre-Retirement Death
                  Benefit under Section 4.1 under the Plan if the Executive:

                  (2)      Dies within two years after the Effective Date and

                           the Company to finance its obligations under the
                           Plan.

         (c)      The Executive will forfeit the balance of any remaining unpaid
                  benefits under this Plan if the Executive violates the
                  noncompetition restrictions of Section 7.2.

                           this section. If that claim is denied, it will be
                           subject to the claims appeal procedures of Section
                           8.2.

                           determine the validity of the claim and take any

                  (3)      SUBMISSIONS BY CLAIMANT. The claimant shall file the

                  claimant filed it with the Executive Vice-President, Human
                  Resources. If more time is required for a special case, the
                  Compensation Committee may take up to an additional 90 days to
                  render a determination, but the claimant must be notified of
                  the need for the extension of time within the initial 90-day
                  period. This notification will explain the special
                  circumstances requiring the extension of time as well as the
                  date by which a determination is expected.

         (d)      EXPLANATION OF DENIAL. If a claim is wholly or partially
                  denied, the Compensation Committee shall provide the claimant
                  with a notice of the decision, written in a manner calculated
                  to be understood by the claimant, containing the following
                  information:

                  (1)      The specific reason or reasons for the denial and a
                           discussion of why the specific reason or reasons
                           apply.

                  (2)      References to the specific provisions of this Plan
                           upon which the denial was based.

                  (3)      A description of any additional material or
                           information necessary for the claimant to perfect the
                           claim.

                  (4)      An explanation of the claims appeal procedures under
                           this Plan.

         (e)      DEEMED DENIAL. If a determination is not furnished to the
                  claimant within 90 days of the date the claim was filed--or
                  180 days if it is a special case--the claim shall be deemed to
                  be denied.

         (f)      APPEAL OF DENIAL. If the claimant disagrees with the denial,
                  the claimant's sole remedy shall be to proceed with the claims
                  appeal procedure under Section 8.2.

8.2      CLAIMS APPEAL PROCEDURES.

         (a)      WRITTEN REQUEST. If a claim is denied in whole or in part, the
                  claimant or the claimant's authorized representative may
                  submit a written request for a review of the denial, including
                  a statement of the reasons for the review.

         (b)      DEADLINE. This request must be filed with the Compensation
                  Committee within 60 days after the claimant receives notice of
                  the denial. This time limit may be extended by the
                  Compensation Committee if an extension appears to be
                  reasonable in view of the nature of the claim and the
                  pertinent circumstances.

<PAGE>

         (c)      CONDUCT OF APPEAL. Upon receipt of such a request, the
                  Compensation Committee shall afford the claimant an
                  opportunity to review relevant documents and to submit issues
                  and comments in writing. The Compensation Committee may hold a
                  hearing or conduct an independent investigation. The
                  Compensation Committee will consider all of the claimant's
                  submissions, regardless of whether they were submitted or
                  considered in the initial determination of the claim.

         (d)      TIMELINE. A decision on the review shall be rendered by the
                  Compensation Committee not later than 60 days after receipt of
                  the claimant's request for the review. If more time is
                  required for a special case, the Compensation Committee may
                  take up to an additional 60 days to render a decision, but the
                  claimant must be notified of the need for the extension of
                  time within the initial 60-day period. This notification shall
                  explain the special circumstances (such as the need to hold a
                  hearing) which require the extension of time.

         (e)      DECISION ON APPEAL. The decision shall be written in a manner
                  calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include:

                  (1)      Specific reasons for the decision;

                  (2)      Specific references to the provisions of this Plan on
                           which the decision is based;

                  (3)      A statement that the claimant is entitled to receive,
                           upon request and free of charge, reasonable access
                           to, and copies of, all documents, records and other
                           information relevant (as defined in applicable ERISA
                           regulations) to the claimant's claim for benefits;
                           and

                  (4)      A statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil
                           action under ERISA Section 502(a), to the extent such
                           an action is not preempted by the mandatory
                           arbitration provision of Section 10.10.

         (f)      DEEMED DENIAL. If the determination on the appeal is not
                  furnished to the claimant within 60 days--or 120 days if it is
                  a special case--the appeal shall be deemed to be denied.

         (g)      EXHAUSTION OF APPEAL PROCESS REQUIRED. A claimant whose claim
                  has been denied is required to exhaust the claims appeal
                  procedures set forth in this section before commencing any
                  arbitration or legal action.

8.3      DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY; STANDARDS OF PROOF AND REVIEW; RECORD ON
         REVIEW.

         (a)      The Compensation Committee is the "named fiduciary" for
                  purposes of ERISA. This Plan confers full discretionary
                  authority on the Compensation Committee with regard to the
                  administration of this Plan, including the discretion to:

                  (1)      Make findings of fact and determine the sufficiency
                           of the evidence presented regarding a claim; and

                  (2)      Interpret and construe the provisions of this Plan
                           and related administrative documents, if any,
                           (including words and phrases that are not defined in
                           this Plan or those documents) and correct any defect,
                           supply any omission or reconcile any ambiguity or
                           inconsistency.

         (b)      A decision by the Compensation Committee is required to be
                  supported by substantial evidence only. That is, proof by a
                  preponderance of the evidence, clear and convincing evidence
                  or beyond a reasonable doubt is not required.

         (c)      A court of law or arbitrator reviewing any decision of the
                  Compensation Committee, including those relating to the
                  interpretation of this Plan or a claim for benefits under this
                  Plan, shall be required to use the arbitrary and capricious
                  standard of review. That is, the Compensation Committee's
                  determination may be reversed only if it was made in bad
                  faith, is not supported by substantial evidence or is
                  erroneous as to a question of law.

         (d)      In conducting its review of the Compensation Committee's
                  decision, a court or arbitrator shall be limited to the record
                  of documents, testimony and facts presented to or actually
                  known to the Compensation Committee at the time the decision
                  was made.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                            AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

9.1      BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT. Except as provided in Section 9.2, this Plan may
         be amended or terminated only by a written agreement signed by the
         Company and the Executive.

9.2      BY THE COMPANY.

         (a)      Subject to the restrictions in subparagraph (b) below, the
                  Company may unilaterally amend or terminate this Plan at any
                  time if in the opinion of the Company's counsel or
                  accountants, as a result of legislative, judicial or
                  regulatory action, continuation of the Plan would:

                  (1)      Cause benefits to be taxable to the Executive before
                           their actual receipt; or

<PAGE>

                  (2)      Result in material financial penalties or other
                           materially detrimental ramifications to the Company
                           (other than the financial impact of paying the
                           benefits).

         (b)      Except as required by law, banking regulatory requirements or
                  financial accounting requirements, an amendment or termination
                  under subparagraph (a) above may not reduce:

                  (1)      The vested percentage of the Executive's Adjusted
                           Accrual Balance;

                  (2)      The amount of the Executive's vested Adjusted Accrual
                           Balance as determined as of the later of:

                           (A)      The effective date of the amendment or
                                    termination; or

                           (B)      The date it is adopted or approved; or

                  (3)      The amount of the benefit payments that are being
                           made if the Executive's benefits were in pay status
                           as of the earlier of:

                           (A)      The effective date of the amendment or
                                    termination; or

                           (B)      The date it is adopted or approved.

         (c)      Except as required by law, banking regulatory requirements or
                  financial accounting requirements, upon the termination of
                  this Plan under subsection (a) above:

                  (1)      The Executive's Adjusted Accrual Balance and vesting
                           credit will be frozen as of the later of:

                           (A)      The effective date of the amendment or
                                    termination; or

                           (B)      The date it is adopted or approved; or

                  (2)      Interest will be credited on the Executive's frozen
                           vested Accrual Balance at an annual rate of six
                           percent (6%) compounded monthly; and

                  (3)      The Company may either:

                           (A)      Hold and disburse the Executive's frozen
                                    vested Accrual Balance (as adjusted under
                                    paragraph (2) above) in accordance with the
                                    otherwise applicable terms and conditions of
                                    this Plan; or

                           (B)      Disburse that amount in a lump sum at such
                                    earlier date as the Company, in its sole
                                    discretion, may elect.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1     ADMINISTRATION. The Compensation Committee shall have all powers
         necessary or desirable to administer this Plan, including but not
         limited to:

         (a)      Establishing and revising the method of accounting for the
                  Plan;

         (b)      Maintaining a record of benefit payments;

         (c)      Establishing rules and prescribing any forms necessary or
                  desirable to administer the Plan;

         (d)      Interpreting the provisions of the Plan; and

         (e)      Delegating to others certain aspects of the Compensation
                  Committee's managerial and operational responsibilities,
                  including employing advisors and delegating ministerial
                  duties.

10.2     RECEIPT AND RELEASE FOR PAYMENTS.

         (a)      The Compensation Committee may require the recipient of a
                  payment, as a condition precedent to the payment, to execute a
                  receipt and, in the case of a payment in full, a release for
                  the payment. The receipt and the release shall be in a form
                  satisfactory to the Compensation Committee.

         (b)      Payment may be made by a deposit to the credit of the
                  Executive or a Beneficiary, as applicable, in any bank or
                  trust company.

         (c)      Payment may be made to the individual or institution
                  maintaining or having custody of the Executive or Beneficiary,
                  as applicable, if the Compensation Committee receives
                  satisfactory evidence that--

                  (1)      A person entitled to receive any benefit under this
                           Plan is, at the time the benefit is payable,
                           physically, mentally or legally incompetent to
                           receive payment and provides a valid receipt for it;

                  (2)      An individual or institution is maintaining or has
                           custody of that person; and

                  (3)      No guardian, custodian or other representative of the
                           estate of that person has been appointed.

         (d)      The receipt of the recipient or a canceled check shall be a
                  sufficient voucher for the Company. The Company is not
                  required to obtain from the recipient an accounting for the
                  payment.

         (e)      If a dispute arises over a distribution, payment may be
                  withheld until the dispute is determined by a court of
                  competent jurisdiction or settled, to the satisfaction of
<PAGE>

                  the Compensation Committee, by the parties concerned. The
                  Compensation Committee may require a hold harmless agreement
                  on behalf of the Company and the Plan before making payment.

10.3     OTHER COMPENSATION AND TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT. This Plan is not an express
         or implied employment agreement. Accordingly, other than providing for
         certain benefits payable upon a Termination of Employment, this Plan
         will not affect the determination of any compensation payable by the
         Company to the Executive, nor will it affect the other terms of the
         Executive's employment with the Company. The specific arrangements
         referred to in this Plan are not intended to exclude or circumvent any
         other benefits that may be available to the Executive under the
         Company's employee benefit or other applicable plans, upon the
         Executive's Termination of Employment.

10.4     WITHHOLDING.

         (a)      INCOME TAX. Applicable federal, state and local income tax
                  withholding will be withheld from all payments made under this
                  Plan.

         (b)      FICA. To the extent allowable under applicable regulations:

                  (1)      The present value of the vested benefits under this
                           Plan will be taken into account as FICA wages in the
                           year they become vested;

                  (2)      Present value will be determined using reasonable
                           actuarial equivalency factors acceptable to the
                           Compensation Committee;

                  (3)      The employee portion of each year's FICA liability
                           will be deducted from the Executive's other cash
                           compensation for that year; and

                  (4)      FICA will not be deducted from any payments made
                           under this Plan.

10.5     UNFUNDED ARRANGEMENT.

         (a)      The Company's payment obligation under this Plan is purely
                  contractual and is not funded or secured in any manner by any
                  asset, pledge or encumbrance of the Company's property.

         (b)      This Plan is not intended to create, and should not be
                  construed as creating, any trust or trust fund. The benefits
                  accrued under this Plan and any assets acquired by the Company
                  to finance its payment obligations under this Plan shall not
                  be held in a trust (other than a grantor trust of the
                  Company), escrow or similar fiduciary capacity.

<PAGE>

         (c)      Any insurance policy on the Executive's life the Company may
                  acquire to assist it in financing its obligations under this
                  Plan is a general asset of the Company and neither the
                  Executive nor anyone else claiming on behalf of or through the
                  Executive shall have any right with respect to, or claim
                  against, that policy.

         (d)      The Executive and any Beneficiary are general unsecured
                  creditors of the Company with respect to the payment of the
                  benefits under this Plan.

10.6     BENEFITS NOT ASSIGNABLE. The accrued benefits under this Plan shall not
         be considered assets under state law or bankruptcy law of the Executive
         or of any Beneficiary. The Executive and any Beneficiary shall not have
         any right to alienate, anticipate, pledge, encumber or assign any of
         the benefits payable under this Plan. The Executive's or any
         Beneficiary's benefits shall not be subject to any claim of, or any
         attachment, garnishment or other legal process brought by, any of his
         or her creditors.

10.7     BINDING EFFECT. This Plan binds and inures to the benefit of the
         parties and their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors
         and assigns.

10.8     REORGANIZATION. The Company shall not merge or consolidate into or with
         another company, or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets
         to another company, firm, or person unless that succeeding or
         continuing company, firm or person agrees to assume and discharge the
         obligations of the Company under this Plan. Upon the occurrence of such
         an event, the term "Company" as used in this Plan shall be deemed to
         refer to the successor or survivor company.

10.9     APPLICABLE LAW.

         (a)      This Plan shall be construed and its validity determined
                  according to the laws of the State of Oregon, other than its
                  law regarding conflicts of law or choice of law, to the extent
                  not preempted by federal law.

         (b)      Any dispute arising out of this Plan must be brought in either
                  Clackamas County or Multnomah County, Oregon, and the parties
                  will submit to personal jurisdiction in either of those
                  counties.

10.10    ARBITRATION. Any dispute or claim arising out of or brought in
         connection with this Plan, will, if requested by any party, be
         submitted to and settled by arbitration under the rules then in effect
         of the American Arbitration Association (or under any other form of
         arbitration mutually acceptable to the parties involved). Any award
         rendered in arbitration will be final and will bind the parties, and a
         judgment on it may be entered in the highest court of the forum having
         jurisdiction. The arbitrator will render a written decision, naming the
         substantially prevailing party in the action, and, subject to Section
         10.11(b), will award that party all costs and expenses incurred,
         including reasonable attorneys' fees.

10.11    ATTORNEYS' FEES.

         (a)      If any breach of or default under this Plan results in either
                  party incurring attorneys' or other fees, costs or expenses
                  (including those incurred in an arbitration), the
                  substantially prevailing party is entitled to recover from the
                  non-prevailing party its reasonable legal fees, costs and
                  expenses, including attorneys' fees and the costs of the
                  arbitration, except as provided in subsection (b) below.

         (b)      If the Executive is not the substantially prevailing party,
                  the Executive shall be liable to pay the Company under
                  subsection (a) above only if the arbitrator determines that:

                  (1)      There was no reasonable basis for the Executive's
                           claim (or the Executive's response to the Company's
                           claim); or

                  (2)      The Executive had engaged in unreasonable delay,
                           failed to comply with a discovery order or otherwise
                           acted in bad faith in the arbitration.

         (c)      Either party shall be entitled to recover any reasonable
                  attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses it incurs in
                  enforcing or collecting an arbitration award.

         (d)      If an award under this section is made to the Executive and
                  accountants or tax counsel selected by Company with the
                  Executive's consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld)
                  determine that the award is includible in Executive's gross
                  income, the Company shall also pay the Executive a gross-up
                  payment to offset the taxes imposed on that award, including
                  the taxes on the gross-up payment itself. This gross-up
                  payment shall be determined following the methodology employed
                  in the Change in Control Agreement.

10.12    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Plan constitutes the entire agreement between
         the Company and the Executive as to its subject matter. No rights are
         granted to the Executive by virtue of this Plan other than those
         specifically set forth in this document and any amendments to it.

10.13    CONSTRUCTION. The language of this Plan was chosen jointly by the
         parties to express their mutual intent. No rule of construction based
         on which party drafted the Plan or certain of its provisions will be
         applied against any party.

10.14    SECTION HEADINGS. The section headings used in this Plan have been
         included for convenience of reference only.

10.15    COUNTERPARTS. This Plan may be executed in one or more counterparts,
         and all counterparts will be construed together as one Plan.

<PAGE>

10.16    SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Plan is, to any extent, held to
         be invalid or unenforceable, it will be deemed amended as necessary to
         conform to the applicable laws or regulations. However, if it cannot be
         amended without materially altering the intentions of the parties, it
         will be deleted and the remainder of this Plan will be enforced to the
         extent permitted by law.

10.17    JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATION. Bancorp and Bank will be jointly and
         severally liable for the payment obligations under this Agreement.
