legend set forth in Section 2.1, unless in the written opinion of the
transferee’s or Purchaser’s counsel delivered to the Company in connection with
such transfer (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company)
such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities
Act.

Agreement”), the Shares and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby.

    


    3.3           Enforceability.  This

under, nor will the execution and delivery by the Company of  this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,

thereof,  (a) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute, with
the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, a material default (or give rise
to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or any material portion of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ properties or

consent, approval, waiver or other action by any Person under any Contract to
which either the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or by which any
of their respective properties or assets are bound, is required or necessary for
the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this
Agreement  and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, except where the failure to obtain such consents, filings,
authorizations, approvals or waivers or make such filings would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

    


    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    3.6           Capitalization.  The
authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 250,000,000 shares of Common
Stock and 20,000 shares of Preferred Stock.  As of December 1, 2008,
the Company had outstanding 12,074,182 shares of Common Stock, all of which were
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and had no
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.  Except (a) as contemplated by

redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of the Company Common
Stock.  Upon delivery to the Purchaser of the certificates
representing the shares of Common Stock and payment of the Purchase Price, the

Eligibility.  Since January 1, 2006, the Company has made all
filings (the “SEC

Act”).  The SEC Reports, when filed, complied in all material
respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and the securities laws, rules and regulations of any state and pursuant to
any Requirements of Law.  To the best of the Company’s knowledge the
SEC Reports, when filed, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.  The Company has made accessible
to Purchaser true, accurate and complete copies of the SEC Reports which were

currently eligible for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

in the SEC Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents
in all material respects the consolidated results of operations or other
information therein of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the periods or as of
the dates therein set forth in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied  and, where applicable, the rules of the SEC and the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, during the periods involved (except that the
interim reports are subject to normal recording adjustments which might be
required as a result of year-end audit and except as otherwise stated
therein).

Accounting Controls.  The Company is in material compliance
with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are applicable to it
as of the date of this Agreement.  The Company and the Subsidiaries
taken as a whole maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are

conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and
forms.  The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”).  The Company presented in its most recently filed
periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.  Since the Evaluation
Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.

which may be reasonably expected to affect the Company.  In addition,
the description of the Company’s business contained in the Company’s Annual

materially inconsistent with its current operations.  Except as set
forth in the SEC Reports, since September 30, 2008, there has not been

applicable laws administered by and regulations of the Board of Governors of the

credit polices or its management, nor have the Company or the Bank been advised
in writing by any Bank Regulatory Authority that it is contemplating issuing or
requesting (or is considering the appropriateness of issuing or requesting) any
such order, decree, agreement, memorandum of understanding, extraordinary

directed at the Company or the Bank.  The Company and the Bank, and
their respective operations, comply in all material respects with all applicable
laws and regulations, including without limitation those relating to the

    REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER

    


    As a
material inducement to the Company entering into this Agreement and issuing
and/or selling the Shares, each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company
as follows:

    


    4.1           Investment
Intent.  The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder for
the Purchaser’s own account and with no present intention of distributing or
selling the Shares or any interest in the Shares. The Purchaser agrees that it
will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares  or any
interest in the Shares  unless such sale or other disposition has been
registered or qualified (as applicable) under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws or, in the opinion of the Purchaser’s counsel delivered to
the Company (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such
sale or other disposition is exempt from registration or qualification under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.  The Purchaser
understands that the sale of the Shares acquired by the Purchaser hereunder has
not been registered under the Securities Act, but the Shares are issued through
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of, among other things,
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 thereunder, and that the
reliance of the Company on such exemption from registration is predicated in
part on these representations and warranties of the Purchaser.  The
Purchaser acknowledges that pursuant to Section 2.1 a restrictive legend
consistent with the foregoing has been or will be placed on the certificates
representing the shares of Common Stock until such legend is permitted to be
removed under applicable law. The Purchaser will have no right to require
registration of the shares of Common Stock, and the Company is under no
obligation to cause an exemption for resale to be available or register the
shares of Common Stock, except as provided in the Registration Rights
Agreement.

    


    4.2           Adequate
Information.  The Company has made available and the Purchaser
has reviewed such information that the Purchaser considers necessary or
appropriate to evaluate the risks and merits of an investment in the Shares
including, without limitation, the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007, Form 10-Qs for the quarterly periods ended  March

    4.3           Opportunity to Ask
Questions.  The Purchaser has had the opportunity to question,
and, to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate, has questioned
representatives of the Company so as to receive answers and verify information
obtained in the Purchaser’s examination of the Company, including the
information that the Purchaser has reviewed in relation to its investment in the
Shares.

    


    4.4           No Other
Representations. No oral or written representations have been made to the
Purchaser in connection with the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares which
were in any way inconsistent with the information reviewed by the Purchaser. The
Purchaser acknowledges that no representations or warranties of any type or
description have been made to it by any Person with regard to the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective businesses, properties or
prospectus or the investment contemplated herein, other than the representations
and warranties set forth in Article III hereof.  The Purchaser has not
made its decision to acquire Shares or to execute and deliver this Agreement on
the basis of any belief that any officer, director or affiliate of the Company
or any current stockholder of the Company would make an investment in the
Company now or in the future.

    


    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    4.5           Knowledge and
Experience.  The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such
term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the
Securities Act.  The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in
financial, tax and business matters, including substantial experience in
evaluating and investing in common stock and other securities (including the
Common Stock and other securities of new and speculative companies), so as to
enable the Purchaser to utilize the information made available to the Purchaser
in order to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and to
make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

    


    4.6           Additional
Representations.                                                                The
Purchaser will make such additional representations and warranties and furnish
such information regarding the Purchaser’s investment experience and financial
position as the Company may reasonably require, and if there should be any
material change in the information set forth herein prior to the closing of the
sale of the Shares, the Purchaser will immediately furnish such revised or
corrected information to the Company.

    


    4.7           Term
Sheet.  The Purchaser has received a copy of the Term Sheet and
any and all amendments, supplements and Appendices thereto.  Except
for the information contained in the Term Sheet, as amended or

Purchaser nor its advisors has been furnished any offering material or
literature by the Company or Wunderlich Securities, Inc.

    


    4.8           Independent
Decision.  The Purchaser is not relying on the Company,
Wunderlich Securities, Inc. or on any legal or other opinion in the materials
reviewed by the Purchaser with respect to the financial or tax considerations of
the Purchaser relating to its investment in the Shares.  The Purchaser
has relied solely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
of the Company in this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto)
and on its examination and independent investigation in making its decision to
acquire the Shares.  The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity
to obtain, and has been furnished, all material that it has requested relating
to the proposed operation of the Company, any other matters relating to the
business and properties of the Company and the offer and sale of the
Shares.

    


    4.9           Legal Existence and
Authority.  If the Purchaser is a corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, trust or other entity, the Purchaser has been duly
formed and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation with full power and authority to acquire and hold
the Shares  and to execute, deliver and comply with the terms of this
Agreement and such other documents required to be executed and delivered by the
undersigned in connection with this subscription.

    


    4.10.                      No Defaults or
Conflicts.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Purchaser and the performance of its obligations hereunder does not conflict
with or constitute a default under any instruments governing the Purchaser, or
any law, regulation, order or agreement to which the Purchaser is a party or to
which the undersigned is bound.

Agreement delivered herewith have been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Purchaser, and the agreements herein and therein constitute
valid, binding and enforceable agreements of the Purchaser.  The
Purchaser is not a partnership, common trust fund, special trust, pension fund,
retirement plan or other entity in which the partners or participants, as the
case may be, may designate the particular investments to be made or the
allocation thereof.

    


    4.13.                      Confidentiality.  Unless
required by law, the Purchaser shall not disclose, and shall maintain
confidential any non-public information related to the
Company,  provided that the undersigned may disclose such information
to any of its advisors, attorneys and accountants, if such advisor, attorney
and/or accountant shall have agreed to be bound by this provision.

    


    4.14           Residence; No General

acknowledges that certain information contained in the disclosure document
provided to Purchaser in connection with the private offering of the Common
Stock has not been otherwise publicly disclosed.  Accordingly,

    INDEMNIFICATION

    


    6.1           Indemnification
Generally.  The Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on
the other hand, shall indemnify the other from and against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, claims, charges, actions, proceedings, demands, judgments,
settlement costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) or deficiencies resulting from any
breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by the Indemnifying Party
(including indemnification by the Company of the Purchaser for any failure by
the Company to deliver, or for any failure by the Purchaser to receive, stock
certificates representing the Shares on the Settlement Date) and all claims,
charges, actions or proceedings incident to or arising out of the foregoing
(“Losses”).  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Losses to
the extent such Losses arise out of, result from, or are increased by, the
breach of this Agreement by, or the fraudulent acts, negligence or willful
misconduct of, the Indemnified Party, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not
be liable to an Indemnifying Party for any Losses in excess of the aggregate
amount of the Purchase Price paid for the Shares purchased by such Indemnified
Party.

    


    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    6.2           Indemnification
Procedures.  Each Person entitled to indemnification under this
Article VI (an “Indemnified
Party”) shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each
party required to provide indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnifying
Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation or threat thereof made in writing in respect of which indemnity
may be sought hereunder; provided, however, failure to so notify an Indemnifying
Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may
have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement so long as such
failure shall not have materially prejudiced the position of the Indemnifying
Party.  Upon such notification, the Indemnifying Party shall assume
the defense of such action if it is a claim brought by a third party, and after
such assumption the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to reimbursement of
any expenses incurred by it in connection with such action except as described
below.  In any such action, any Indemnified Party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary or (ii) the named
parties in any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties
by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
or conflicting interests between them.  An Indemnifying Party who is
not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one
action  for all parties indemnified by such Indemnifying Party with
respect to such claim except for local counsel if the attorneys selected by the
Indemnified Party do not maintain an office within the jurisdiction of the
court, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party a conflict of
interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and any other of such
Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim, in which event the Indemnifying
Party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel
or counsels.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by such Indemnifying Party), but if
settled with such consent or if there be final judgment for the plaintiff, the
Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any
loss, damage or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment.  In the event that any indemnifying party enters into any
settlement without the written consent of the indemnified party the indemnifying
party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant or plaintiff of a release of such indemnified party from all liability
in respect of such claim or litigation.

    7.2           Loss or
Mutilation.  Upon receipt by the Company from any Purchaser of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of a certificate representing shares of Common Stock
and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that the
written agreement of the Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof shall be sufficient
indemnity) and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof or
thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof or thereof a new
stock certificate of like tenor to such Purchaser; provided, in the case of
mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if the certificate representing
shares of Common Stock in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for
cancellation.

    


    7.3           Survival.  Each
representation, warranty, covenant and agreement of the parties set forth in
this Agreement is independent of each other representation, warranty, covenant
and agreement.  Each representation and warranty made by any Party in
this Agreement shall survive the Settlement through the period ending on the
date three years from the respective Purchaser’s Settlement Date from the date
of this Agreement.

    


    7.4           Remedies.

    


    (a)           Each
Party acknowledges that the other Party would not have an adequate remedy at law
for money damages in the event that any of the covenants or agreements of such
Party in this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its terms, and it
is therefore agreed that each Party in addition to and without limiting any
other remedy or right such Party may have, shall have the right to an injunction
or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any
such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions
hereof.

    


    (b)           All
rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise available in
respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and
the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any Party shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or
remedy by such Party.

    


    7.5           Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement (including the exhibits, appendices
and schedules attached hereto), the Registration Rights Agreement and the other
documents delivered at the Settlement pursuant hereto, contain the entire
understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings between or among the Parties
with respect to such subject matter.  The exhibits and schedules
hereto constitute a part hereof as though set forth in full above.  In
the event of any ambiguity or inconsistency between this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement shall govern
and supercede.

    


    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    7.6           Expenses;
Taxes.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Parties shall pay their own fees and expenses, including their own counsel fees,
incurred in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated
hereby.  Further, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any
sales tax, stamp duty, deed transfer or other tax (except taxes based on the
income of the Purchaser) arising out of the sale of the Shares by the Company to
the Purchaser and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be paid by the Company.

    


    7.7           Amendment.  This
Agreement may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.

    


    7.8           Waiver.  No
failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege.  No waiver of any breach of any
provision shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach
of the same or any other provision, nor shall any waiver be implied from any
course of dealing between the Parties.  No extension of time for
performance of any obligations or other acts hereunder or under any other
agreement shall be deemed to be an extension of the time for performance of any
other obligations or any other acts.  The rights and remedies of the
Parties under this Agreement are in addition to all other rights and remedies,
at law or equity that they may have against each other.

    


    7.9           Binding Effect;
Assignment.  The rights and obligations of this Agreement shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and
legal assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be
for the benefit of all Purchasers from time to time of the Shares and shall be
enforceable by any such Purchaser.

    


    7.10           Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (whether by original
signature or a facsimile thereof), each of which shall be an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

    


    7.11           Headings.  The
headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
are not to be given any legal effect and shall not affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

    


    7.12           GOVERNING LAW;
INTERPRETATION.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED FOR ALL PURPOSES BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
OREGON WITHOUT
REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES OF ANY OTHER JURSIDICTION.

    


    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    7.13           Severability.  The
parties stipulate that the terms and provisions of this Agreement are fair and
reasonable as of the date of this Agreement.  However, if any
provision of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated.  If, moreover, any of those provisions shall for any
reason be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable
because excessively broad or vague as to duration, geographical scope, activity
or subject, it shall be construed by limiting, reducing or defining it, so as to
be enforceable.

    


    7.14           State Blue Sky Rescission
Rights.

    


    FLORIDA

SALE MADE IN FLORIDA IS VOIDABLE BY THE PURCHASER WITHIN THREE DAYS AFTER THE
FIRST TENDER OF CONSIDERATION IS MADE BY SUCH PURCHASER TO THE COMPANY, AN AGENT
OF THE COMPANY OR AN ESCROW AGENT OR WITHIN THREE DAYS AFTER THE AVAILABILITY OF
THAT PRIVILEGE IS COMMUNICATED TO SUCH PURCHASER, WHICHEVER OCCURS
LATER.  PAYMENTS FOR TERMINATED PURCHASES VOIDED BY PURCHASERS AS
PROVIDED FOR IN THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE PROMPTLY REFUNDED WITHOUT
INTEREST.  NOTICE SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE COMPANY.
