FDIC-insured bank with its main office in Sandpoint, Idaho (the "Bank"), and
Curt Hecker, Chief Executive Officer of the Bank (the "Executive").

         WHEREAS, the Executive has contributed substantially to the success of

payable out of the Bank's general assets,

         WHEREAS, none of the conditions or events included in the definition of
the term "golden parachute payment" contained in section 18(k)(4)(A)(ii) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1828(k)(4)(A)(ii)] and in Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Rule 359.1(f)(1)(ii) [12 CFR 359.1(f)(1)(ii)]
exists or, to the best knowledge of the Bank, is contemplated insofar as the
Bank is concerned.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby

meanings specified:

         1.1      "Accrual Balance" means the liability that should be accrued
by the Bank under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for the
Bank's obligation to the Executive under this Agreement, by applying Accounting
Principles Board 12, as amended by Financial Accounting Standard 106, and the
calculation method and discount rate specified hereinafter. The Accrual Balance
shall be calculated assuming a level principal amount and interest as the
discount rate is accrued each period. The principal accrual is determined such
that when it is credited with interest each month, the Accrual Balance at Normal
Retirement Age equals the present value of the normal retirement benefits. The
discount rate means the rate used by the Plan Administrator for determining the
Accrual Balance. The rate is based on the yield on a 20_year corporate bond
rated Aa by Moody's, rounded to the nearest 1/4%. The initial discount rate is
7.00%. However, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may adjust the
discount rate to maintain the rate within reasonable standards according to
GAAP.

         1.2      "Change in Control" means any one of the following events
occurs:

after the merger or consolidation is held by persons who were the holders of
Bancorp's voting securities immediately before the merger or consolidation,

         (b) Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership. (1) a report on
Schedule 13D or another form or schedule (other than Schedule 13G) is filed or
is required to be filed under sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, if the schedule discloses that the filing person or persons acting
in concert has or have become the beneficial owner of 25% or more of a class of
Bancorp's voting securities, or if Bancorp does not then have equity securities
registered under section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 a person or
group acting in concert has or have become the beneficial owner of 25% or more
of a class of Bancorp's voting securities, but this paragraph (b) shall not
apply to beneficial ownership of voting shares of Bancorp held in a fiduciary
capacity by an entity in which Bancorp directly or indirectly beneficially owns
50% or more of the outstanding voting securities,

indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or deprive the Executive of
any material fringe benefit to which the Executive was entitled at the time of
the Change in Control, or

         (f) the failure of the Bank to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any

         (a) gross negligence or gross neglect of duties,

         (b) commission of a felony or commission of a misdemeanor involving
moral turpitude, or

         (c) fraud, disloyalty or willful violation of any law or significant
Bank policy committed in connection with the Executive's employment and
resulting in an adverse effect on the Bank. No act or failure to act on the
Executive's part shall be considered "willful" unless the Executive has acted
without good faith, or without good faith has failed to act, and the Executive's
action or inaction is without a reasonable belief that his action or inaction is
in the Bank's best interests.

         1.14     "Termination of Employment" means that the Executive shall
have ceased to be employed by the Bank for any reason whatsoever, excepting a

Vested Early Termination Benefit or Vested Disability Benefit Being Paid to the
Executive's Estate or Beneficiaries at the Time of a Change in Control. If a
Change in Control occurs at any time during the entire 10-year salary
continuation benefit payment period and if at the time of that Change in Control
the Executive's estate or beneficiary(ies) is receiving the benefit provided by

beneficiary or beneficiaries by filing a written designation with the Bank. The
Executive may revoke or modify the designation at any time by filing a new
designation. However, designations will be effective only if signed by the
Executive and accepted by the Bank during the Executive's lifetime. The
Executive's beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the
beneficiary predeceases the Executive, or if the Executive names a spouse as
beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. If the Executive dies
without a valid beneficiary designation, all payments shall be made to the
Executive's estate.

         4.2      Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a
person declared incapacitated, or to a person incapable of handling the
disposition of his or her property, the Bank may pay such benefit to the
guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of such
minor, incapacitated person, or incapable person. The Bank may require such
proof of incapacity, minority, or guardianship as the Bank deems appropriate
before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the
Bank from all liability for such benefit.

         6.2      Review Procedure. If the Bank denies part or all of the claim,
the claimant shall have the opportunity for a full and fair review by the Bank
of the denial, as follows:

         6.2.1    Initiation - Written Request. To initiate the review, the
                  claimant, within 60 days after receiving the Bank's notice of
                  denial, must file with the Bank a written request for review.

         6.2.2    Additional Submissions - Information Access. The claimant
                  shall then have the opportunity to submit written comments,
                  documents, records and other information relating to the
                  claim. The Bank shall also provide the claimant, 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.

         6.2.3    Considerations on Review. In considering the review, the Bank
                  shall take into account all materials and information the
                  claimant submits relating to the claim, without regard to
                  whether such information was submitted or considered in the
                  initial benefit determination.

         6.2.4    Timing of Bank Response. The Bank shall respond in writing to
                  such claimant within 60 days after receiving the request for
                  review. If the Bank determines that special circumstances
                  require additional time for processing the claim, the Bank can
                  extend the response period by an additional 60 days by
                  notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the end of the
                  initial 60-day period, that an additional period is required.
                  The notice of extension must set forth the special
                  circumstances and the date by which the Bank expects to render
                  its decision.

         6.2.5    Notice of Decision. The Bank shall notify the claimant in
                  writing of its decision on review. The Bank shall write the
                  notification in a manner calculated to be understood by the
                  claimant. The notification shall set forth:

                  6.2.5.1  The specific reasons for the denial,

                  6.2.5.2  A reference to the specific provisions of the
                           Agreement on which the denial is based,

                  6.2.5.3  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

                  6.2.5.4  A statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil
                           action under ERISA Section 502(a).

                                    ARTICLE 7
                           ADMINISTRATION OF AGREEMENT

         7.1      Plan Administrator Duties. This Agreement shall be
administered by a Plan Administrator consisting of the board or such committee
or person(s) as the board shall appoint. The Executive may be a member of the
Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretion and
authority to (a) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and
regulations for the administration of this Agreement and (b) decide or resolve
any and all questions, including interpretations of this Agreement, as may arise
in connection with the Agreement.

         7.2      Agents. In the administration of this Agreement, the Plan
Administrator may employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties
as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and
may from time to time consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Bank.

                                        7
<PAGE>

         7.3      Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the
Plan Administrator with respect to any question arising out of or in connection
with the administration, interpretation, and application of the Agreement and
the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive
and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Agreement. No Executive
or Beneficiary shall be deemed to have any right, vested or nonvested, regarding
the continued use of any previously adopted assumptions, including but not
limited to the discount rate and calculation method employed in the
determination of the Accrual Balance.

         7.4      Indemnity of Plan Administrator. The Bank shall indemnify and
hold harmless the members of the Plan Administrator against any and all claims,
losses, damages, expenses, or liabilities arising from any action or failure to
act with respect to this Agreement, except in the case of willful misconduct by
the Plan Administrator or any of its members.

         7.5      Bank Information. To enable the Plan Administrator to perform
its functions, the Bank shall supply full and timely information to the Plan
Administrator on all matters relating to the date and circumstances of the
retirement, Disability, death, or Termination of Employment of the Executive,
and such other pertinent information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably
require.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         8.1      Amendments and Termination. Subject to Section 8.15 of this
Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or terminated solely by a written
agreement signed by the Bank and the Executive.

         8.2      Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive and
the Bank and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, successors,
administrators, and transferees.

         8.3      No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not an
employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to
remain an employee of the Bank, nor does it interfere with the Bank's right to
discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an
employee nor interfere with the Executive's right to terminate employment at any
time.

         8.4      Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be
sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached, or encumbered in any manner.

         8.5      Successors; Binding Agreement. By an assumption agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, the Bank will require any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform this Agreement if no
such succession had occurred. The Bank's failure to obtain such an assumption
agreement before the succession becomes effective shall be considered a breach
of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to the Change-in-Control
benefit provided in Section 2.4.

         8.6      Tax Withholding. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are
required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.

         8.7      Applicable Law. Except to the extent preempted by the laws of
the United States of America, the validity, interpretation, construction, and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Idaho, without giving effect to the principles of
conflict of laws of such state.

         8.8      Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and the Executive's
beneficiary(ies) are general unsecured creditors of the Bank for the payment of
benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the
Bank to pay such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner
to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance,
attachment, or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executive's life
is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive and beneficiary(ies) have
no preferred or secured claim.

         8.9      Severability. If for any reason any provision of this
Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement, and each such other provision shall continue in full force
and effect to the full extent consistent with law. If any provision of this
Agreement is held invalid in part, such invalidity shall not affect the
remainder of the provision, and the remainder of such provision together with
all other provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
to the full extent consistent with law.

         8.10     Headings. The headings of sections herein are included solely
for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation
of any provision of this Agreement.

         8.11     Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if delivered by hand or mailed, certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, with postage prepaid, to the following addresses or to such
other address as either party may designate by like notice.

                 (a)   If to the Bank, to:
                       Board of Directors
                       Panhandle State Bank
                       Third and Oak Streets
                       Sandpoint, Idaho 83864

                 (b)   If to the Executive, to:
                       Curt Hecker
                       Panhandle State Bank
                       Third and Oak Streets
                       Sandpoint, Idaho 83864

and to such other or additional person or persons as either party shall have
designated to the other party in writing by like notice.

         8.12     Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the Bank and the Executive concerning the subject matter
hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive under this Agreement other than
those specifically set forth herein. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that
this Agreement satisfies in full Bancorp's and the Bank's obligation to provide
a salary continuation plan for the benefit of the Executive, which obligation is
stated in section 7 of the Executive Employment Agreement dated as of January 1,
2002 by and among the Executive, Bancorp, and the Bank.

         8.13     Payment of Legal Fees. The Bank is aware that after a Change
in Control management of the Bank could cause or attempt to cause the Bank to
refuse to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, or institute or
cause or attempt to cause the Bank to institute litigation seeking to have this
Agreement declared unenforceable, or take or attempt to take other action to
deny the Executive the benefits intended under this Agreement. In these
circumstances, the purpose of this Agreement could be frustrated. It is the
intent of the Bank that the Executive not be required to incur the expenses
associated with the enforcement of his rights under this Agreement by litigation
or other legal action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially
detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Executive hereunder,
nor be bound to negotiate any settlement of his rights hereunder under threat of
incurring such expenses. Accordingly, if after a Change in Control (a) it
appears to the Executive that the Bank has failed to comply with any of its
obligations under this Agreement, or (b) the Bank or any other person takes any
action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any
litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish, or to recover from
the Executive the benefits intended to be provided to the Executive hereunder,
the Bank irrevocably authorizes the Executive from time to time to retain
counsel of his choice at the expense of the Bank as provided in this Section
8.13, to represent the Executive in the initiation or defense of any litigation
or other legal action, whether by or against the Bank or any director, officer,
stockholder, or other person affiliated with the Bank, in any jurisdiction. The
fees and expenses of counsel selected from time to time by the Executive as
herein above provided shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive by the Bank
on a regular, periodic basis upon presentation by the Executive of a statement
or statements prepared by such counsel in

                                        9
<PAGE>

accordance with such counsel's customary practices, up to a maximum aggregate
amount of $500,000. The Bank's obligation to pay the Executive's legal fees
provided by this Section 8.13 operates separately from, and in addition to, any
legal fee reimbursement obligation the Bank or Bancorp may have with the
Executive under an employment or other agreement.

         8.14     Excise Tax Under Internal Revenue Code Sections 280G and 4999.
(a) Partial Reimbursement of Excise Tax. If a Change in Control occurs the
Executive may become entitled to acceleration of benefits under this Agreement
or under any other plan or agreement of or with the Bank or Bancorp, including
accelerated vesting of stock options and acceleration of benefits under any
other benefit, compensation, or incentive plan or arrangement with the Bank or
Bancorp (collectively, the "Total Benefits"). If a Change in Control occurs,
Bancorp and the Bank shall cause the certified public accounting firm retained
by Bancorp as of the date immediately before the Change in Control (the
"Accounting Firm") to calculate the Total Benefits and any excise tax payable by
the Executive under sections 280G and 4999 based upon the Total Benefits. If the
Accounting Firm determines that an excise tax is payable, at the same time the
Bank pays the Change in Control benefit under Section 2.4 of this Agreement the
Bank shall also pay to the Executive an amount in cash equal to the excise tax
calculated by the Accounting Firm (the "Excise Tax"). The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that this Section 8.14 provides for partial reimbursement only of the
final excise tax that may be payable by him, and that additional unreimbursed
excise taxes may be payable by him after taking into account the reimbursement
payment provided under this Section 8.14. The partial reimbursement of the
excise tax under this Section 8.14 shall be made in addition to the amount set
forth in Section 2.4.

         (b)      Calculating the Excise Tax. For purposes of determining
whether any of the Total Benefits will be subject to the Excise Tax and for
purposes of determining the amount of the Excise Tax,

         (1)      Determination of "Parachute Payments" Subject to the Excise
                  Tax: any other payments or benefits received or to be received
                  by the Executive in connection with a Change in Control or the
                  Executive's Termination of Employment (whether under the terms
                  of this Agreement or any other agreement, stock option plan or
                  any other benefit plan or arrangement with the Bank or
                  Bancorp, any person whose actions result in a Change in
                  Control or any person affiliated with the Bank, Bancorp, or
                  such person) shall be treated as "parachute payments" within
                  the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue
                  Code, and all "excess parachute payments" within the meaning
                  of section 280G(b)(1) shall be treated as subject to the
                  Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of the Accounting Firm such
                  other payments or benefits do not constitute (in whole or in
                  part) parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments
                  represent (in whole or in part) reasonable compensation for
                  services actually rendered within the meaning of section
                  280G(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code in excess (as defined
                  in section 280G(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code), or are
                  otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax,

         (2)      Calculation of Benefits Subject to Excise Tax: the amount of
                  the Total Benefits that shall be treated as subject to the
                  Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the total
                  amount of the Total Benefits reduced by the amount of such
                  Total Benefits that in the opinion of the Accounting Firm are
                  not parachute payments, or (b) the amount of excess parachute
                  payments within the meaning of section 280G(b)(1) (after
                  applying clause (1), above), and

         (3)      Value of Noncash Benefits and Deferred Payments: the value of
                  any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall
                  be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the
                  principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Internal
                  Revenue Code.

         (c)      Assumed Marginal Income Tax Rate. For purposes of determining
the amount of the partial Excise Tax reimbursement payment to be made under this
Section 8.14, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the
highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which
the partial Excise Tax reimbursement under this Section 8.14 is to be made and
state and local income taxes at the highest

                                       10
<PAGE>

marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive's residence
on the date of Termination of Employment, net of the reduction in federal income
taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes
(calculated by assuming that any reduction under section 68 of the Internal
Revenue Code in the amount of itemized deductions allowable to the Executive
applies first to reduce the amount of such state and local income taxes that
would otherwise be deductible by the Executive, and applicable federal FICA and
Medicare withholding taxes).

         (d)      Accounting Firm's Determinations Are Final and Binding. All
determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 8.14 shall be
final and binding on the Bank, Bancorp, and the Executive. All determinations
required to be made under this Section 8.14 - including the assumptions used to
calculate Total Benefits and the Excise Tax - shall be made by the Accounting
Firm, which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Bank and
the Executive.

         8.15     Termination or Modification of Agreement Because of Changes in
Tax Statutes, Rules, or Regulations. The Bank is entering into this Agreement on
the assumption that certain existing tax statutes, rules, and regulations will
continue in effect in their current form. If that assumption materially changes
and the change has a material detrimental effect on this Agreement, the Bank
reserves the right to terminate or modify this Agreement accordingly, subject to
obtaining the written consent of the Executive, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. This Section 8.15 shall become null and void effective immediately
upon a Change in Control.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and a duly authorized Bank officer
have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

THE EXECUTIVE:                                   THE BANK:
                                                   PANHANDLE STATE BANK

                  require additional time for processing the claim, the Bank can
                  extend the response period by an additional 60 days by
                  notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the end of the

         8.1      Amendment and Termination. Subject to Section 8.11 of this
Split Dollar Agreement, this Split Dollar Agreement may be amended or terminated
solely by a writing signed by the Bank and the Executive. However, this Split
Dollar Agreement will terminate automatically and the Executive's interest shall
be forfeited if benefits under the Salary Continuation Agreement are neither
paid nor payable because of termination under Article 5 of the Salary
Continuation Agreement. This Split Dollar Agreement shall also terminate upon
the occurrence of any one of the following:

         (a)      Surrender, lapse, or other termination of the Policy by the
                  Bank, or

         (b)      Distribution of the death benefit proceeds in accordance with
                  Section 2.2 above.

         8.2      Binding Effect. This Split Dollar Agreement shall bind the
Executive and the Bank and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors,
administrators, transferees, and any Policy beneficiary.

         8.3      No Guarantee of Employment. This Split Dollar Agreement is not
an employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to
remain an employee of the Bank, nor does it interfere with the Bank's right to
discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an
employee nor interfere with the Executive's right to terminate employment at any
time.

         8.4      Successors; Binding Agreement. By an assumption agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, the Bank shall require any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Split Dollar Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform this
Split Dollar Agreement if no succession had occurred. The Bank's failure to
obtain such an assumption agreement before succession becomes effective shall be
considered a breach of the Split Dollar Agreement and shall entitle the
Executive to the Change-in-Control Benefits payable under Section 2.4 of the
Salary Continuation Agreement between the Bank and the Executive of even date
herewith.

         8.5      Applicable Law. The Split Dollar Agreement and all rights
hereunder shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State
of Idaho, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of
America.

         8.6      Entire Agreement. This Split Dollar Agreement and the Salary
Continuation Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Bank and the
Executive concerning the subject matter hereof. No rights are granted to the
Executive under this Split Dollar Agreement other than those specifically set
forth herein.

         8.7      Severability. If for any reason any provision of this Split
Dollar Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other
provision of this Split Dollar Agreement not held invalid, and to the full
extent consistent with the law each such other provision shall continue in full
force and effect. If any provision of this Split Dollar Agreement is held
invalid in part, such invalidity shall not affect the remainder of such
provision, and to the full extent consistent with the law the remainder of such
provision, together with all other provisions of this Split Dollar Agreement,
shall continue in full force and effect.

         8.8      Headings. The caption headings herein are included solely for
convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of
any provision of this Split Dollar Agreement.

         8.9      Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if delivered by hand or mailed, certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, with postage prepaid, to the following addresses or to such
other address as either party may designate by like notice.

                  (a)   If to the Bank, to:
                        Board of Directors
                        Panhandle State Bank
                        Third and Oak Streets
                        Sandpoint, Idaho 83864

                  (b)   If to the Executive,
                        to: Curt Hecker
                        Panhandle State Bank
                        Third and Oak Streets
                        Sandpoint, Idaho 83864

and to such other or additional person or persons as either party shall have
designated to the other party in writing by like notice.

         8.10     IRC Section 1035 Exchanges. The Executive recognizes and
agrees that the Bank may after this Split Dollar Agreement is adopted wish to
exchange the Policy for another contract of life insurance insuring the
Executive's life. Provided that the Policy is replaced (or intended to be
replaced) with a comparable policy of life insurance consistent with the
requirements of section 2.4 herein, the Executive agrees to provide medical
information and cooperate with medical insurance-related testing required by a
prospective Insurer for implementing the Policy or, if necessary, for modifying
or updating to a comparable Insurer per section 2.4. The Executive's

                                        5
<PAGE>

inability to pass an insurability determination for purposes of obtaining a
comparable replacement Policy does not permit the Bank to abrogate the
Executive's interest in the Policy without the Executive's consent.

         8.11     Termination or Modification of Split Dollar Agreement Because
of Changes in Tax Statutes, Rules, or Regulations. The Bank is entering into
this Split Dollar Agreement on the assumption that certain existing tax
statutes, rules, and regulations will continue in effect in their current form.
If that assumption materially changes and the change has a material detrimental
effect on this Split Dollar Agreement, the Bank reserves the right to terminate
or modify this Split Dollar Agreement accordingly, subject to obtaining the
written consent of the Executive, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. This
Section 8.11 shall become null and void effective immediately upon a Change in
Control.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank and the Executive have executed this Split
Dollar Agreement as of the date first written above.

THE EXECUTIVE:                                THE BANK:
                                                  PANHANDLE STATE BANK
