               available to senior executives of The Bank.

| | (f) | Annual Review and Adjustment. The Executives compensation as set
               forth in this Section 4(a), will be subject to annual review and adjustment by a
               disinterested majority of The Banks Board of Directors or Compensation
               Committee. In no case, however, will the Executives salary, vacation and
               expense reimbursement be less than the amounts set forth in this section 4.

               months from the date of the notice, whichever is greater, and in its discretion
               will advise the Executive of those duties and responsibilities, if any, it wants
               him to perform during this time. All forfeiture provisions regarding restricted
               stock awards and all vesting requirements regarding stock options shall lapse or
               be deemed fully completed.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | Termination or Nonrenewal by the Executive: In the event the Executive

| | (d) | Termination by The Bank for Cause. Notwithstanding paragraph 4(a), The
               Bank may immediately terminate this Agreement with no advance notice if
               termination is for cause. For purposes of this Agreement, cause
               means dishonesty; fraud; commission of a felony or of a crime involving moral
               turpitude; deliberate violation of statutes, regulations, or orders pertaining
               to financial institutions or reckless disregard of such statutes, regulations,
               or orders; destruction or theft of Bank property or assets of customers of The
               Bank; physical attack of a fellow employee or a customer; intoxication at work;
               use of narcotics or alcohol to an extent that materially impairs
               Executives performance of his duties; willful malfeasance or gross
               negligence in the performance of Executives duties; violation of law in
               the course of employment that has a material adverse impact on The Bank, its
               Executives, or its customers; Executives refusal to perform
               Executives duties; Executives refusal to follow reasonable
               instructions or directions; misconduct materially injurious to The Bank;
               significant neglect of duty; or any material breach of Executives duties
               or obligations to The Bank that results in material harm to The Bank. If
               termination occurs under this paragraph, the Executive will be entitled to
               receive only the salary earned through the date this Agreement is terminated and
               shall not be entitled to any payment pursuant to paragraph 4(a), and except as
               otherwise provided by law, participation in benefit plans ceases upon
               termination of this Agreement.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (e) | Death or Disability. Notwithstanding paragraph 4(a), this Agreement will
               terminate immediately upon the Executives death. Notwithstanding paragraph
               4(a), if the Executive is unable to perform his duties and obligations under
               this Agreement for a period of 90 days as a result of a disability that
               substantially limits one or more of his major life activities, this Agreement
               will terminate immediately upon expiration of such 900 day period unless
               Executive is thereafter able to perform the essential functions of the position
               referenced in paragraph 2(c) with or without a reasonable accommodation. If
               termination occurs under this paragraph, the Executive or his estate will be
               entitled to receive only the salary earned through the date this Agreement is
               terminated and shall not be entitled to any payment pursuant to paragraph 4(a),
               and except as otherwise provided by law, participation in benefit plans ceases
               upon termination of this Agreement, except that as of such termination date, all
               vesting requirements regarding then currently pending stock options shall be
               deemed fully completed.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (f) | Termination Related to a Change in Control. This paragraph will apply to
               any termination related to a Change in Control, as set forth herein.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | i. | Change in Control means a change in the ownership or effective
               control or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the
               assets of The Bank, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal
               Revenue Code. An initial public offering by The Bank will not, however, be
               deemed to be a Change in Control under this Agreement.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ii. | Termination by The Bank. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
               5(a), if The Bank or its successors in interest by merger, or their transferees
               in the event of a purchase and assumption transaction, and for reasons other
               than the provisions in paragraphs 5(d) and 5(e) terminates this Agreement within
               twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, The Bank will pay the
               Executive thirty six (36) times the base compensation received by the Executive
               during the most recent calendar month ending on or prior to the effective date
               of termination, less statutory payroll deductions. Payment under this paragraph
               shall be made in accordance with The Banks ordinary payroll policies and
               procedures, unless the parties mutually agree to a different payment schedule.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | iii. | Executive Assignment Related to Change in Control. If the assignment to
               the Executive by The Bank or its successors in interest by merger, or their
               transferees in the event of a purchase and assumption transaction, is other than
               the position of President, without the Executives expressed written
               consent, then the provisions of paragraph 5(f)(ii) shall apply.
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | iv. | Limitations on Payments Related to Change in Control. The following apply
               notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 1) | The payment described in Section 5(f)(ii) shall be less than the amount that
               would cause it to be a parachute payment within the meaning of
               Section 280G (b)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 2) | The Executives right to receive the payment described in Section 5(f)(ii)
               terminates (a) immediately if before the Change in Control transaction closes,
               the Executive terminates his employment without good reason or the Company
               terminates the Executives employment for cause, or (b) two years after
               Change in Control occurs
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 6. | Confidentiality. The Executive will not, after signing this
               Agreement, including during and after its Term, disclose to any other person or
               entity any confidential information concerning The Bank or its business
               operations or customers, or use for his own purposes or permit or assist in the
               use of such confidential information by third parties unless The Bank consents
               to the use or disclosures of their respective information, or disclosure is
               required by law or court order. The provisions of this paragraph survive the
               termination of the Executives employment by The Bank.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 7. | Noncompetition. During the Term and for twenty-four (24)
               months after the Executives employment with The Bank ends, the Executive
               will not become involved with a Competing Business or serve, directly or
               indirectly, a Competing Business in any matter. Competing Business
               means any company that competes with or will compete with The Bank in Grays
               Harbor, Pacific, Wahkiakum, Whatcom, and Skagit Counties, or any other
               Washington or Oregon county in which The Bank maintains a banking office(s) at
               the time of the termination of this Agreement. Competing Business
               includes, without limitation, any existing or newly formed financial institution
               or trust company.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 8. | Enforcement. The Bank and the Executive agree that, in
               light of all of the facts and circumstances of the relationship between The Bank
               and the Executive, the agreements referred to in paragraphs 5(a), 6 and 7 are
               fair and reasonably necessary for the protection of The Banks confidential
               information, goodwill and other protectible interests. The parties acknowledge
               and agree that the time and expense involved in proving in any forum the actual
               damage or loss suffered by The Bank if there is a breach of paragraphs 5(a), 6
               or 7 make this case appropriate for liquidated damages. Accordingly, The Bank
               and the Executive agree that the following schedule of liquidated damages is
               reasonable and fair, and shall be the amount of damages which the Executive
               shall pay to The Bank for each, separate breach of paragraphs 5(a), 6 or 7 by
               the Executive:
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | a. | for a breach of paragraph 5(a), the sum of $25,000;
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------

| | b. | for a breach of paragraph 6, the sum of $75,000;
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------

| | c. | for a breach of paragraph 7, the sum of $150,000.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------

| | For
purposes of paragraph 7, a separate breach shall be deemed to have occurred
with each Competing Business with which the Executive becomes involved or serves in
violation of paragraph 7.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Neither
the breach of paragraphs 5(a), 6 or 7, nor the payment of liquidated damages by the
Executive, shall affect the continuing validity or enforceability of this Agreement, or
The Banks right to seek and obtain injunctive relief. If a court of competent
jurisdiction should decline to enforce any of these covenants and agreements, the
Executive and the Bank hereby stipulate that the Court shall reform these provisions to
restrict the Executives use of confidential information and the Executives
ability to compete with The Bank to the maximum extent, in time, scope of activities, and
geography, as the court finds enforceable.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 9. | Adequate Consideration. The Executive specifically
               acknowledges the receipt of adequate consideration for the covenants contained
               in paragraph 5(a), 6, and 7, and that The Bank is entitled to require him to
               comply with these paragraphs. These paragraphs will survive termination of this
               agreement. The Executive represents that if his employment is terminated,
               whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the Executive has experience and
               capabilities sufficient to enable the Executive to obtain employment in areas
               which do not violate this Agreement and that The Banks enforcement of a
               remedy by way of injunction will not prevent the Executive from earning a
               livelihood.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 10. | Miscellaneous Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the
               entire understanding between the parties concerning its subject matter. This
               Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of The Banks and the
               Executives heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This
               Agreement may be modified only through a written instrument signed by both
               parties. This Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with
               Washington law, except that certain matters may be governed by federal law.
               Venue for enforcement of any terms of this Agreement shall be in Grays Harbor
               County, Washington Superior Court.
