regardless of which party terminates this Agreement.  The Executive

available to senior executives of The Bank.

(b) Termination by The
Bank.  In the event that The Bank provides the Executive with a
notice of termination without cause under  paragraph 5(a), The Bank
will pay to the Executive an amount equal to the salary he would have received
from the date of termination through the end of the then current
Term.  Such payment will be made in equal monthly payments beginning
on the 15th day of
the calendar month immediately following the termination date and ending on the
date which is the 15th day of
the third calendar month of the calendar year immediately following the
termination date.  All forfeiture provisions affecting restricted
stock awards and all vesting requirements affecting stock options shall lapse or
be deemed fully completed.




(c) Termination by the
Executive.  If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment
with The Bank, other than for "good reason" as provided in paragraph 5(f), the
Executive will be entitled to salary through the date of termination and to such
other benefits as may be provided under the terms of the Bank benefit
plans.  In the event the Executive seeks to terminate this Agreement
without providing at least (90) days’ written notice prior to the termination
date, the Executive will pay to The Bank liquidated damages as
follows:  (A) in the event the Executive provides notice of
termination 29 days or less prior to the termination date, the Executive shall
pay The Bank $25,000 in liquidated damages; (B) in the event the Executive
provides notice of termination at least 30 days but not more than 59 days prior
to the termination  date, the Executive shall pay The Bank $20,000 in
liquidated damages; (C) in the event the Executive provides notice of
termination at least 60 days but not more than 89 days prior to termination
date, the Executive shall pay to The Bank $15,000 in liquidated
damages.




(d) Termination by The Bank for
Cause.  Notwithstanding paragraph 4(a), The Bank may
immediately terminate this Agreement without advance notice if the 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 property or assets of The Bank or its
customers; 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 employees, 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 except as otherwise provided by law, participation
in benefit plans ceases upon termination of this Agreement.




(e) Death or
Disability.  Notwithstanding paragraph 5(a), this Agreement
will terminate immediately upon:




(i) The
Executive’s death; or




-3-




(ii) 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.




If
termination occurs under this paragraph 5(e): (a) the Executive or his estate
will be entitled to receive only the salary earned through the date this
Agreement is terminated; (b) except as otherwise provided by law, participation
in benefit plans ceases upon termination of this Agreement; and (c) as of such
termination date, all vesting requirements affecting outstanding stock options
shall lapse or 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.  In the event The Bank or its successors in interest
terminates this Agreement within twenty-four months following a Change in
Control for reasons other than for cause pursuant to paragraph 5(d), or as the
result of the Executive's death or disability pursuant to paragraph 5(e), 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 in equal monthly
payments beginning on the 15th day of
the calendar month immediately following the termination date and ending on the
date which is the 15th day of
the third calendar month of the calendar year immediately following the
termination date.




(iii)
Change in Assignment
Related to Change in Control.  If, within twenty-four months
following a Change in Control, the Executive’s assignment with The Bank is
changed in a way that results in a material diminution of Executive's authority,
duties, or responsibilities, without the Executive’s express written consent,
then any termination by Executive within 90 days of such reassignment will be
deemed to have been for “good reason” and the provisions of paragraph 5(f)(ii)
shall apply.




(iv)
Limitations on
Payments Related to Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the payment described in paragraph 5(f)(ii) shall be automatically
reduced to an amount that is 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.




6. Compliance with IRC Section
409A.  To the extent required by IRC § 409A, and regulations
thereunder, payment of severance benefits to Executive under any provision of
paragraph 5 of this Agreement will not be paid, or commenced, until the
expiration of six months following the date of termination of Executive's
employment with Corporation.  If monthly payments are deferred
pursuant to this paragraph, all such deferred amounts will be paid in a lump sum
on the first business day following the expiration of the six-month
period.




-4-




7. 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 Executive's employment by The Bank.




8. Noncompetition.  During
the Term and for twenty-four 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.




9. 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), 7 and 8 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), 7 or 8 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), 7 or 8 by the
Executive:




(a) for a
breach of paragraph 5(a), up to the sum of $25,000 as described in paragraph
5(c);




(b) for a
breach of paragraph 7, the sum of $75,000;




(c) for a
breach of paragraph 8, the sum of $150,000.




For
purposes of paragraph 8, 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 8.





Neither
the breach of paragraphs 5(a), 7, or 8, 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.





10. Adequate
Consideration.  The Executive specifically acknowledges the
receipt of adequate consideration for the covenants contained in paragraphs
5(a), 7, and 8, 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.

11. 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.
