    This Incentive Stock Option Award (“ISO”) is granted by Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (“Corporation”) to _____________________ (“Option Holder”) in accordance with the terms of this Incentive Stock Option Award Agreement
      (“Agreement”) and subject to the provisions of the Timberland Bancorp, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (“Plan”).  The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.

    

    

    
      	
              1.

            	
              ISO Award.  The Corporation grants to Option Holder ISOs to purchase _______ Shares at an
                  Exercise Price of $_____ per Share.  These ISOs are subject to forfeiture until they vest and to limits on transferability, as provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement and in Article V of
                  the Plan.

            


    

    
      	
              2.

            	
              Vesting Dates.  The ISOs shall vest as follows, subject to earlier vesting in the event of a
                  termination of Service as provided in Section 6 or a Change in Control as provided in Section 7:

            


    

    
      	
               

            	
              ISOs for

              

            
	
              Vesting Date 

              

            	
              Number of Shares Vesting 

              

            


    

    

    

    
      	
              3.

            	
              Exercise.  The Option Holder (or in the case of the death of the Option Holder, the designated
                  legal representative or heir of the Option Holder) may exercise the ISOs during the Exercise Period by giving written notice to the  Corporate Secretary in the form required by the Committee (“Exercise Notice”).  The Exercise Notice must
                  specify the number of Shares to be purchased, which shall be at least 100 unless fewer shares remain unexercised.  The exercise date is the date the Exercise Notice is received by the Corporation.  The Exercise Period commences on the
                  Vesting Date and expires at 5:00 p.m., EST on the date 10 years [five years for over 10% owners of Corporation on the Grant Date] after the Grant Date, such later time and date
                  being hereinafter referred to as the “Expiration Date,” subject to earlier expiration in the event of a termination of Service as provided in Section 6.  Any ISOs not exercised as of the close of business on the last day of the Exercise
                  Period shall be cancelled without consideration at that time.

            


    

    The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased.  Payment shall be made: (a) in cash, which may be in the form of a check, money
      order, cashier's check or certified check, payable to the Corporation, or (b) by delivering Shares of the Corporation already owned by the Option Holder having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the aggregate Exercise Price to be paid,
      or (c) by instructing the Corporation to withhold Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the aggregate Exercise 

     

       

    
      
        


    

    
    Price to be paid or (d) by a combination of thereof.  Payment for the Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Option may also be made by delivering a properly executed Exercise Notice to the
      Corporation, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Corporation the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the aggregate Exercise Price and applicable tax withholding amounts (if any), in which event
      the Shares acquired shall be delivered to the broker promptly following receipt of payment.

    
      	
              4.

            	
              Related Awards.  These ISOs are not related to any other Award under the Plan.

            


    

    
      	
              5.

            	
              Transferability.  The Option Holder may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise
                  encumber any ISOs, except in the event of the Option Holder’s death, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order.

            


    

    
      	
              6.

            	
              Termination of Service.  If the Option
                  Holder terminates Service for any reason other than in connection with a Change in Control or the death or Disability of the Option Holder, any ISOs that have not vested as of the date of that termination shall be forfeited to the
                  Corporation, and the Exercise Period of any vested ISOs shall expire three months after that termination of Service (but in no event after the Expiration Date), except where that termination of Service is due to Retirement, in which case
                  the Exercise Period of any vested ISOs shall expire one year after that termination of Service (but in no event after the Expiration Date), or in the case of a Termination for Cause, in which case all ISOs held by the Option Holder shall
                  expire immediately.  If the Option Holder’s Service terminates on account of the Option Holder’s death or Disability, the Vesting Date for all ISOs that have not vested or been forfeited shall be accelerated to the date of that
                  termination of Service, and the Exercise Period of all ISOs shall expire one year after that termination of Service (but in no event after the Expiration Date). [Post-termination
                    exercise period may be modified at Committee’s election except with respect to a Termination for Cause.]

            


    

    
      	
              7.

            	
              Effect of Change in Control.  In accordance with Plan Section 5.5(b)(iii), if a Change in
                  Control occurs and the Participant experiences an Involuntary Separation from Service other than a Termination for Cause during the 365-day period following the date of such Change in Control, then the Vesting Date for any non-vested ISO
                  will be accelerated to the date of the Participant’s Involuntary Separation from Service (unless the acquirer does not assume the outstanding ISOs or replaces them with a benefit that the Committee determines to be of equivalent value, in
                  which case any nonvested ISOs will be become vested upon the effective date of the Change in Control).

            


    

    
      	
              8.

            	
              Option Holder’s Rights.  The ISOs awarded hereby do not entitle the Option Holder to any rights
                  of a stockholder of the Corporation.

            


    

    
      	
              9.

            	
              Delivery of Shares to Option Holder.  Promptly after receipt of an Exercise Notice and full
                  payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares being acquired, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the Option Holder (or other person validly exercising the ISO) a 

                 

            


    

    
      2

      
        


    

    
      


      	

            	
              certificate or certificates representing the Shares of Common Stock being purchased, or evidence of the issuance of such Shares in book-entry form, registered in the name of the Option
                Holder (or such other person), or, upon request, in the name of the Option Holder (or such other person) and in the name of another person in such form of joint ownership as requested by the Option Holder (or such other person) pursuant to
                applicable state law.  The Corporation’s obligation to deliver a stock certificate or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form for Shares purchased upon the exercise of an ISO can be conditioned upon the receipt of a
                representation of investment intent from the Option Holder (or the Option Holder’s Beneficiary) in such form as the Committee requires.  The Corporation shall not be required to deliver stock certificates or evidence of the issuance of
                Shares in book-entry form for Shares purchased prior to: (a) the listing of those Shares on the Nasdaq; or (b) the completion of any registration or qualification of those Shares required under applicable law.

            


      
        	
                10.

              	
                Notice of Sale of Shares.  The Option
                      Holder (or other person who received Shares from the exercise of the ISOs) shall give written notice to the Corporation promptly in the event of the sale or other disposition of Shares received from the exercise of the ISOs within
                      either: (a) two years from the Grant Date; or (b) one year from the exercise date for the ISOs exercised.

              


      

      
        	
                11.

              	
                Adjustments in Shares.  In the event of any recapitalization, forward or
                    reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, exchange of Shares or other securities, stock dividend, special or recurring dividend or distribution, liquidation, dissolution or other similar
                    corporate transaction or event, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall adjust the number of Shares or class of securities of the Corporation covered by the ISOs or the Exercise Price of the ISOs.  The Option Holder agrees to
                    execute any documents required by the Committee in connection with an adjustment under this Section 11.

              


      

      
        	
                12.

              	
                Tax Withholding.  The Corporation shall have the right to require the Option
                    Holder to pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax that the Corporation is required to withhold with respect to such Shares, or in lieu thereof, to retain or sell without notice, a sufficient number of Shares to cover the minimum
                    amount required to be withheld, provided, however, that (a) no Shares are withheld with a value
                      exceeding the maximum amount of tax that may be required to be withheld by law (or such other amount as may be permitted while still avoiding classification of the ISO as a liability for financial accounting purposes), and (b) with
                      respect to an ISO held by any Participant who is subject to the filing requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any such share withholding must be specifically approved by the Compensation Committee as the applicable method
                      that must be used to satisfy the tax withholding obligation or such share withholding procedure must otherwise satisfy the requirements for an exempt transaction under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  The Corporation shall
                    have the right to deduct from all dividends paid with respect to the Shares the amount of any taxes that the Corporation is required to withhold with respect to such dividend payments.

              


      

      
        	
                13.

              	
                Plan and Committee Decisions are Controlling.  This Agreement, the award of ISOs to the
                    Option Holder and the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the ISOs are subject in 

                   

              


      

      
        3

        
          


      

    

    
      


      	
              

                 

            	
              all respects to the provisions of the Plan, which are controlling.  Capitalized terms herein not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.  All decisions, determinations
                and interpretations by the Committee respecting the Plan, this Agreement, the award of ISOs or the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the ISOs shall be binding and conclusive upon the Option Holder, any Beneficiary of the Option Holder
                or the legal representative thereof.

            


      
        	
                14.

              	
                Option Holder’s Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the
                    Corporation or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Option Holder’s service or employment as a director, advisory director, director emeritus, officer or employee, or otherwise impose upon the Corporation or any of its Affiliates any
                    obligation to employ or accept the services or employment of the Option Holder.

              


      

      
        	
                15.

              	
                Amendment.  The Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Corporation or modify
                    or amend the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may not amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any provision of this Agreement if such action may adversely affect the Option Holder without the Option
                    Holder’s written consent.  To the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion but with the permission of the Option Holder, to accelerate the vesting of the Shares
                    or remove any other restrictions imposed on the Option Holder with respect to the Shares, whenever the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate.

              


      

      
        	
                16.

              	
                Loss of ISO Status.  If any of the ISOs fail, for any reason, to qualify for the special tax treatment afforded the ISOs, they shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options
                  under the Plan.  The ISOs will lose ISO status: (a) if the Option Holder is not an employee of the Corporation or its Affiliates from the Grant date through the date three months before the exercise date; or (b) if the Shares acquired
                  upon the exercise of the ISO are sold or disposed of within one of the time periods described in Section 10.

              


      

      
        	
                17.

              	
                Option Holder Acceptance.  The Option Holder shall signify acceptance of the terms and
                    conditions of this Agreement and acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan by signing in the space provided below and returning the signed copy to the Corporation.
