 Exhibit 10.4 

COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION 

ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN 
  

	I.	Introduction and Objectives 

 The Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to
recognize and reward participants for their collective and individual contributions to the success of Coastal Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its affiliates, collectively referred to herein as the
“Employer”. The Plan focuses on performance measures that are critical to the growth and profitability of the Company and its affiliates. 

The objectives of the Plan are to: 
  

	 	•	 	Reward results, not effort. 

  

	 	•	 	Align the Employer’s strategic plan, budget, and shareholder interests with participant performance. 

  

	 	•	 	Motivate and reward participants for achieving /exceeding performance goals. 

  

	 	•	 	Align incentive pay with organizational performance. 

  

	 	•	 	Enable the Employer to attract and retain talent needed to drive the success of the Company. 

  

	 	•	 	Encourage teamwork. 

  

	II.	Performance Period/Plan Year 

 The performance period and the Plan operate on a calendar year basis
(January 1st to December 31st) (the “Plan Year”). 
  

	III.	Incentive Award Opportunity 

  

	 	A.	The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), determines each participant’s incentive award opportunity, calculated as a percentage of base salary for the Plan Year. Award
opportunities vary based on participant roles and are approved by the Committee at the beginning of the Plan Year. For purposes of this Plan, “base salary” means the participant’s annual base salary at the beginning of the Plan Year,
ignoring any cash deferred under the Employer’s 401(k) plan, health and welfare plans or nonqualified compensation plans. Base salary does not include any bonuses, commissions, reimbursed expenses, employer credits or contributions.

	 	B.	The Committee, in coordination with the President and Chief Executive Officer, determines the performance measures, goals, and weightings at the beginning of the Plan Year. Performance measures are the criteria for
which awards may be paid. Performance measures may be financial or non-financial. Goals are the specific results required to achieve a certain level of performance. Goals may be quantitative or qualitative.
For each performance measure, a threshold, target and maximum is established. “Threshold” is the minimum level of performance for which an award is paid. If performance is below threshold, the payout is zero. Performance at
threshold results in a payment equal to a percentage of the targeted incentive opportunity, as determined by the Committee. “Target” is expected level of performance. Performance at target results in a payment equal to 100% of the
targeted incentive opportunity. “Maximum” is exceptional performance. Performance at or above maximum results in a payment equal to a percentage of the participant’s targeted incentive opportunity, as determined by the
Committee, which shall be the highest amount to be paid under the Plan. Intermediate performance levels between threshold and target and target and maximum shall be established. Payment shall be based on performance level achieved. Weightings are
used to differentiate the relative importance/priority of the performance measures. Each performance measure is weighted a minimum of 5%, and the total of all performance measures for a Plan Year equals 100%. 

 

	IV.	Performance Measures 

 Incentive awards shall be based on achievement during a Plan Year of a level or
levels of, or increases in, one or more of the following performance measures, or any other performance measure reasonably determined by the Committee, with respect to the Company: return measures; revenues; income/earnings measures; expense
measures; balance sheet/risk management measures; share price measures; or other strategic objectives. Performance criteria may be measured on an absolute or relative basis, may be established on a corporate-wide basis or with respect to one or more
business units, may be based on a ratio or separate calculation of any performance criteria and may be made relative to an index or one or more of the performance goals themselves. Relative performance may be measured against a group of peer
companies, a financial market index or other acceptable objective and quantifiable indices.
 The Committee may adjust any performance measure to the extent
necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of an award as a result of extraordinary events or circumstances, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, or to exclude the effects of extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items, such as (a) asset write-downs, (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (c) changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported
results, (d) any reorganization and restructuring programs, (e) acquisitions, mergers, or divestitures (including non-recurring transaction-related expenses); (f) securities offerings; and
(g) other special charges or extraordinary items as approved by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 
 In addition to evaluating Company
performance, the Compensation Committee will consider each participant’s individual performance review when determining payouts under this Plan. 

  
 2 

	V.	Determining Payouts and the Distribution of Incentive Awards 

  

	 	A.	Each participant is given a performance scorecard for the Plan Year. The scorecard sets forth the performance measures applicable to the participant, a comparison of actual performance to the established goals, and the
participant’s performance review rating for the applicable Plan Year. Upon review of the achievement of the performance measures, the Chief Financial Officer completes a scorecard for each of the Plan participants and provides the scorecard, in
the case of the President and Chief Executive Officer, to the Committee, and, in the case of the other participants, to the President and Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates the achievement of the performance measures and reviews the results with
the Committee. The President and Chief Executive Officer may recommend adjustment of any incentive award based on qualitative considerations of corporate and individual performance. However, the Committee shall retain discretion to increase or
reduce the amount of any incentive payment otherwise payable to any participant under this Plan. 

  

	 	B.	Cash-based incentive awards will be paid before the end of the first quarter following the applicable Plan Year. Participants recognize taxable income upon the distribution of cash-based awards and the payments are
subject to tax withholding for required income and other applicable taxes. 

  

	 	C.	Equity-based incentive awards will be made under the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or any successor plan, and shall vest over the period fixed by the Compensation Committee. All other terms and conditions
of such equity-based awards shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement. 

  

	VI.	Terms and Conditions 

  

	 	A.	Eligibility 

 The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer participates
in the Plan unless the Board of Directors deems otherwise. The President and Chief Executive Officer recommends other executives/senior officers for participation in the Plan for approval by the Board of Directors. New hires must be employed
prior to October 1st to be eligible to participate in the Plan for the performance period. New hires that meet the eligibility criteria and are hired prior to October 1st of the Plan Year will receive a pro-rated award based on the number of full months worked during the Plan Year. New hires employed on or after October 1st are not eligible to receive an award for the current Plan Year. 

 

	 	B.	Effective Date 

  
 3 

 This Plan is effective as of January 1, 2018. 

 

	 	C.	Program Administration 

 The Plan is authorized by the Compensation Committee,
implemented by the Chief Financial Officer and administered by the Human Resources Department. 
  

	 	D.	Program Changes or Discontinuance 

 We have developed the Plan based on existing
business, market and economic conditions; current services; and staff assignments. If changes occur that affect these conditions, services, assignments, or forecasts, we may add to, amend, modify or discontinue any of the terms or conditions of the
Plan at any time. 
 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive, change or amend the Plan as it deems appropriate and at any time. 

 

	 	E.	Promotions and Transfers 

 If a participant changes his/her role or is promoted during
the Plan Year such that the incentive award opportunity changes, he/she will be eligible for the new position’s incentive award opportunity on a pro rata basis (i.e. the award will be prorated based on the number of months employed in the
respective positions.) 
  

	 	F.	Termination of Employment 

 Unless otherwise noted in this Plan, a participant must be
employed by the Employer through the last day of the Plan Year in order to be eligible to receive the award. (See exceptions for death and retirement below.) 
  

	 	G.	Death or Retirement 

 In the event of a participant’s death, the Employer will pay
to the participant’s estate the pro rata portion of the award earned for the Plan Year in which the participant dies. Said award will be determined based on the participant’s base salary as of his or her date of death. 

If a participant retires upon the attainment of Normal Retirement Age (as defined in the Company’s
tax-qualified retirement plan), the participant will be eligible to receive an award earned for the Plan Year in which he or she retires if he or she is actively employed through October 1st. In addition, if the participant retires prior to the distribution of an award from a prior Plan Year, the participant will receive the award that the participant would have received had the
participant been employed as of the date of distribution of the award payout. 

  
 4 

	 	H.	Clawback 

 By accepting any compensation paid or otherwise made available to a
participant under this Plan, the participant agrees to the terms and conditions of this Plan (including, without limitation, this Section VI.H.). The participant agrees to repay any compensation previously paid or otherwise made available to the
participant under this Plan that is subject to recovery under any applicable law (including any rule of any exchange or service through which the securities of the Company are then traded), or any compensation “clawback” or recoupment
policy of the Employer applicable to similarly-situated employees of the Employer or required to comply with applicable law (as may be amended from time to time and as may hereafter be adopted). Any participant whose award payout becomes subject to
forfeiture or clawback shall promptly return any payment received under this Plan that is identified by the Employer by written notice to the participant. If the participant fails to return such payment promptly, the Employer may deduct such amount
from other compensation owed to the participant by the Employer as an advancement of wages, and the participant’s acceptance of the applicable award represents his or her acknowledgment and agreement to such deduction. The participant
acknowledges the rights of the Employer to engage in any legal or equitable action or proceeding in order to enforce the provisions of this section. 
  

	VII.	Ethics and Interpretation 

 If there is any ambiguity as to the meaning of any terms or provisions of
this Plan or any questions as to the correct interpretation of any information contained therein, the Employer’s interpretation expressed by the Committee will be final and binding. 

The altering, inflating, and/or inappropriate manipulation of performance/financial results or any other infraction of recognized ethical business standards,
will subject the participant to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. In addition, any incentive compensation as provided by the Plan to which the participant would otherwise be entitled will be revoked. 

Participants who have willfully engaged in any activity injurious to the Company will upon termination of service forfeit any incentive award earned during
the award period in which the termination occurred. 
  

	VIII.	Miscellaneous 

 The Plan will not be deemed to give any participant the right to be retained in the
employ of the Employer, nor will the Plan interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any participant at any time. 
 In the absence of an
authorized, written employment contract, the relationship between participant and the Employer is one of at-will employment. The Plan does not alter the relationship. 

  
 5 

 This Plan and the transactions and payments hereunder shall, in all respect, be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. 
 No payments are intended to constitute deferred compensation subject to
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, unless a participant elects to defer a payment pursuant to a deferred compensation plan that is intended to comply with such Internal Revenue Code section. 

Each provision in this Plan is severable, and if any provision is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not, in any way, be affected or impaired thereby. 
 This Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on June 15, 2018.

 (a) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment
shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death. If the Holding Company or the Bank determine in good faith that a Disability (as defined in Section 5(h) below) of the Executive has occurred during the Term or any Renewal Term,
the Holding Company or the Bank, as applicable, may give to the Executive written notice of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with the Holding Company and the Bank shall terminate

Executive for any reason or no reason by delivering a Notice of Termination (as defined below) to the Holding Company and the Bank at least thirty (30) days prior to the desired termination date (with the thirty (30) day period to be
referred to as the “Notice Period”). If an event constituting Good Reason (as defined below) occurs during the Term or any Renewal Term, the Executive may, at any time within the sixty (60) day period following the initial

Company’s and the Bank’s failure to correct the event of Good Reason within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Executive’s Notice of Termination. If the Holding Company and the Bank fail to correct the event of Good Reason
and provide the Executive with notice of such correction within such thirty (30) day period, the Executive’s employment with the Holding Company and the Bank and this Agreement shall terminate as of the end of such period. During the
Notice Period, and at the sole discretion of the Holding Company and the Bank, the Executive may be relieved of all duties or prohibited from physically working at the Bank’s offices so long as the Executive continues to be paid his Base Salary
and receive any other amounts owed under this Agreement during such Notice Period. 
 (d) Notice of Termination. Any purported
termination by the Holding Company, the Bank or the Executive shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which
shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so
indicated. 
  

	5.	OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDING COMPANY AND THE BANK UPON TERMINATION 

 (a) Termination for Cause;

(iv) The Executive will be vested in full with respect to all of the Executive’s unvested stock options and/or other

Release Agreement shall not have been revoked within the revocation period specified in the Release Agreement (provided the Bank provides a copy of such Release Agreement for the Executive’s consideration no later than the Termination Date)
provided, however, that if the maximum period in which the Executive has to execute and revoke the Release Agreement would extend into the calendar year following the year of termination (the

	6.	CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION. 

 (a) Upon
cessation of his employment, or as otherwise reasonably requested by Bank or the Holding Company, Executive shall return to the Bank or the Holding Company all documents, information and other property of the Bank or of any Affiliate that is in his
possession or control, including but not limited to documents and files (whether paper or electronic); keys, passes and key cards; and computers, portable hard drives, and other office equipment. 

(b) Executive agrees that he will not disclose, nor will he use for the benefit of himself or any other person, any of the non-public information regarding the business of the Holding Company, Bank or any Affiliate to which he was entrusted with access during his employment, including but not limited to: (a) customer information,
including customer lists and other non-public information regarding customers, such as customer contact information; contract terms; customer files; information regarding customer history, needs and
preferences; and information designated by customers to be kept confidential; (b) financial information, such as financial plans and earnings and other performance figures; cost and profitability information; and pricing; (c) strategies,
marketing and other strategic plans; and (d) personnel files and information (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information does not include any information that is, or becomes, in the public domain
through no disclosure or other action (whether direct or indirect) by the Executive. The obligations in this Section with respect to a particular piece of Confidential Information shall remain in effect until that piece of information enters the
public domain through no breach of contract or duty. 
 (c) Upon (1) termination of the Executive’s employment by the Holding
Company and the Bank during the Term or any Renewal Term without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason and payment of the amounts due to the Executive under Section 5(b), or (2) termination of the Executive’s employment upon
expiration of this Agreement and payment to the Executive of a lump-sum cash amount equal to two (2) times his taxable income for the prior calendar year, the Executive agrees not to directly or
indirectly engage in any of the following activities for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date: 

(i) compete with the Holding Company, the Bank or any Affiliate within the Restricted Area; 

(ii) work for or advise, consult or otherwise provide services to, any entity whose business materially competes, or who is
planning or preparing to compete, with the depository, lending or other business activities of the Holding Company, the Bank or any Affiliate within the Restricted Area. 

(iii) provide services, in either a paid or unpaid capacity, to any individual, entity or group proposing, planning or
preparing to establish a new bank or other financial institution in the Restricted Area; or 
 (iv) provide, or assist in the
provision of, Restricted Services to any Restricted Customer. 

  
 10 

 “Restricted Area” means Snohomish County, Washington and all geographic territory within.
“Affiliate” as used in this Section 6 means any subsidiary or parent company for or as to which Executive performs services, or as to which Executive is provided access to Confidential Information, during his employment
hereunder. “Restricted Services” means banking and financial services of the type provided by the Holding Company, the Bank and their Affiliates during Executive’s employment. “Restricted Customer” means any and all
persons or entities who customers of the Bank at any time during the last six (6) months of the Executive’s employment. The parties hereto, recognizing that irreparable injury will result to the Holding Company and the Bank, their business
and property in the event of the Executive’s breach of this Section 6 agree that in the event of any such breach by the Executive, the Holding Company and the Bank will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and damages available,
to temporary, preliminary and post-trial injunctive relief to restrain the violation hereof by the Executive, the Executive’s partners, agents, servants, employers, employees and all persons acting for or with the Executive. The Executive
represents and admits that the Executive’s experience and capabilities are such that the Executive can obtain employment in a business, engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature than the Bank, and that the enforcement of a remedy by
way of injunction will not prevent the Executive from earning a sufficient livelihood. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Holding Company and the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to them for such breach or threatened
breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. 
 (d) Additionally, during the twelve months following the Termination Date,
Executive will not, directly or indirectly do the following, nor will Executive assist, encourage or advise any other person or entity to do the following: (a) recruit, hire, or employ any Restricted Person; or (b) recommend, suggest or
interview for employment any Restricted Person; or (c) solicit, advise, encourage or induce any Restricted Person to terminate his or her engagement with the Bank or an Affiliate. “Restricted Person” means any person who
provided services to the Bank or an Affiliate (whether as an employee, agent, independent contractor, or otherwise) within the last six (6) months of Executive’s employment. 

(e) The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of the business activities and plans for business activities of the Holding
Company, the Bank and their Affiliates, as they may exist from time to time, is a valuable, special and unique asset of the business of the Holding Company and the Bank. The Executive will not, during or after the term of his employment, disclose
any knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the Holding Company, the Bank or Affiliates to any person, firm, corporation or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Executive may disclose any knowledge of banking, financial and/or economic principles, concepts or ideas which are not solely and exclusively derived from the business plans and activities of the Holding Company and the Bank. In the event of a
breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the provisions of this Section 6(e), the Holding Company and the Bank will be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, the knowledge of the past,
present, planned or considered business activities of the Holding Company, the Bank or Affiliates, or from rendering any services to any person, firm, corporation, other entity to whom such knowledge, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is
threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Holding Company and the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to them for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the
Executive. 

  
 11 

 (f) In the event that the Executive is found to have breached any covenant in this agreement, the
time period provided for in that covenant shall be tolled (i.e., it will not run) for so long as the Executive is in violation of that covenant. 
  

	7.	SOURCE OF PAYMENTS. 

 All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or
check from the general funds of the Bank or by the Holding Company as provided in Section 11. 
  

	8.	EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFITS PLANS. 

 This Agreement contains the entire
understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes the Prior Agreement and the Change in Control Severance Agreement dated as of April 21, 2009, as amended, between the Holding Company, the Bank and the Executive. No provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that the Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement. 
  

	9.	MANDATORY REDUCTION OF PAYMENTS IN CERTAIN EVENTS. 

 (a) Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Holding Company or the Bank to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement or otherwise) (such benefits, payments or distributions are hereinafter referred to as “Payments”) would, if paid, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code , (the “Excise
Tax”), then, prior to the making of any Payments to the Executive, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net after-tax benefit to the Executive of the Payments after payment by the
Executive of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net after-tax benefit to Executive if the Payments had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated
under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payments shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). The reduction of the Payments
due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing cash Payments against the latest amounts to be paid and then, to the extent necessary, reducing those Payments having the next highest ratio of Parachute Value to actual present value of
such Payments as of the date of the Change in Control, reducing the latest amounts to be paid first, as determined by a nationally recognized accounting firm or compensation consulting firm mutually acceptable to the Holding Company, the Bank and
Executive (the “Determination Firm”). For purposes of this Section 9, present value shall be determined in good faith in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 9, the
“Parachute Value” of a Payment means the present value as of the date of the Change in Control of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, as
determined by the Determination Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment. 

  
 12 

 (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 9, including whether an Excise
Tax would otherwise be imposed, whether the Payments shall be reduced, the amount of the Reduced Amount, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made in writing in good faith by the Determination Firm which
shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Holding Company, the Bank and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days after the receipt of notice from the Executive that a Payment is due to be made, or such earlier time as is
requested by the Holding Company or the Bank. All fees and expenses of the Determination Firm shall be borne solely by the Holding Company or the Bank. Any determination by the Determination Firm shall be binding upon the Holding Company, the Bank
and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Determination Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments which the Executive was entitled to, but
did not receive pursuant to Section 9(a), could have been made without the imposition of the Excise Tax (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In such event, the Determination Firm
shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Holding Company or the Bank to or for the benefit of the Executive but no later than March 15 of the year after the year in
which the Underpayment is determined to exist, which is when the legally binding right to such Underpayment arises. 
  

	10.	COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. 

 (a) It is the intent of the Holding
Company and the Bank that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement shall be exempt from the application of, or otherwise comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).
Specifically, any taxable benefits or payments provided under this Agreement are intended to be separate payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception to Section 409A to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent
they do not so qualify, are intended to qualify for the involuntary separation pay exceptions to maximum extent possible. This Agreement shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner that effects such intent, and the Holding Company and
the Bank shall not take any action that would be inconsistent with such intent; provided that in no event shall the Holding Company or the Bank be responsible for any 409A penalties that arise in connection with any amounts payable under this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement may not be deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under
Section 409A upon the Executive. 
 (b) If neither the “short-term deferral” nor the involuntary separation pay exceptions to
Section 409A described above applies to a benefit, payment, or reimbursement under this Agreement, and such benefit, payment or reimbursement is not otherwise exempt from Section 409A, then notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement
to the contrary, the remaining provisions of this Section 10 shall apply. 
 (i) If the Executive is a “specified
employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A as determined under the Bank’s or Holding Company’s policy for identifying specified employees on the Termination Date, then to the extent required in order to comply with
Section 409A of the Code, all payments, benefits or reimbursements paid or provided under this Agreement that constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the 

  
 13 

 
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, that are provided as a result of a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and that would otherwise be paid or
provided during the first six months following such Termination Date shall be accumulated through and paid or provided (together with interest on the delayed amount at the applicable federal rate under Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code in
effect on the Termination Date) within 30 days after the first business day following the six (6) month anniversary of such Termination Date (or, if the Executive dies during such six month period, within thirty (30) days after the
Executive’s death). 
 (ii) To the extent required to comply with Section 409A Code, any reimbursement of expenses
pursuant to this Agreement, that will not be excluded from the Executive’s income when received is subject to the following requirements: (1) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the
expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other calendar year; (2) the reimbursement of the eligible expense must be made on or before the last day of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
  

	11.	JOINDER. 

 The Holding Company joins in this Agreement, not as the primary employer of the
Executive, but as secondary obligor of the Bank’s obligations hereunder. In the event the Bank is unable to fulfill its obligations hereunder, the Holding Company shall be obligated to fulfill those obligations. 

 

	12.	NO ATTACHMENT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, 

 (a) Except as required by law, no right to receive
payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and
any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect. 
 (b) This Agreement shall be
binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Executive and the Holding Company and the Bank and their respective successors and assigns. Holding Company and the Bank, or either of them, may assign this Agreement to any purchaser of all or
substantially all of its assets without notice to or consent from Executive. Executive may not assign this Agreement. 
  

	13.	MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. 

 (a) Except for the judicial modification allowed by Section 14,
this Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. 
 (b) No term or condition
of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor there any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written 

  
 14 

 
instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate
only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically waived. 
  

	14.	SEVERABILITY. 

 If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any
provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each such other provision and part shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in
full force and effect. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad (for example as to temporal or geographic scope), that court may
construe, modify, limit, and enforce such provision to the extent allowed by applicable law as it then shall appear in such jurisdiction, without affecting the enforceability of any part of this Agreement in any jurisdiction or proceeding. 

 

	15.	HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY. 

 The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included
solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  

	16.	GOVERNING LAW; VENUE AND JURISDICTION. 

 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by the substantive
laws and procedural provisions of the State of Washington, including, without limitation, its statutory and case law of privilege, unless otherwise specified herein; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and any applicable federal or state law or regulation, the provisions of such law or regulation shall prevail. 
 (b) If requested
by the Holding Company and Bank or the Executive, any unresolved controversy or claim arising from or related to this Agreement or breach hereof shall be resolved by use of mediation initially, and if that fails to resolve the matter, by
arbitration. Mediation shall be in Everett, Washington, before a mediator qualified in mediation of employment matters agreed upon by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on a single mediator, each party must select one mediator and those two
mediators will select a third mediator. This third mediator will hear the dispute. There shall be only one mediator. The parties will use best efforts to obtain a mediator and complete the mediation within 30 days from the date of request for
mediation. If the mediation has not been completed within 45 days from the date of request for mediation, any party may, by notice to all other parties and the AAA, forego mediation and move directly to arbitration under the AAA National Rules for
the Resolution of Employment Disputes (or under any other form of arbitration mutually acceptable to the parties); provided, however, that such arbitration shall be before one arbitrator, and shall be in Everett, Washington. Also, by written
agreement signed by the Holding Company and Bank and the Executive, the parties hereto may agree to forego mediation, may make any agreement regarding scheduling of the mediation or the arbitration process, discovery or hearing, which agreement
shall be binding on the mediator 

  
 15 

 
or arbitrator, despite any AAA rule to the contrary. In any arbitration, if the Executive is the prevailing party, the Holding Company and Bank shall pay all reasonable attorney’s fees of
the Executive, as well as the expenses and administrative fees related to the arbitration. If the Holding Company and Bank is the prevailing party at the arbitration, each party shall pay its own attorney’s fees and expenses and its share of
the administrative fees and expenses related to the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 16(a), (a) the parties are not required to arbitrate any issue for which injunctive relief is sought by any party hereto,
(b) all parties may seek injunctive relief in any federal or state court having jurisdiction located in Everett, Washington, and (c) claims of worker’s compensation and unemployment compensation shall not be subject to arbitration
under this Agreement. In rendering any decision as to any state law claims, Washington State law shall apply. 
 (c) The parties irrevocably
and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights to trial by jury in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation, any
counteraction or counterclaim, whether in contract, statute, tort (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise. This provision is a material inducement for the parties to enter into this Agreement. 

 

	17.	INDEMNIFICATION. 

 The Bank shall provide the Executive with coverage under a standard
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy as is provided for the other directors and officers of the Holding Company and the Bank, at its expense, and hereby indemnifies the Executive to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable Washington and federal law and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Holding Company and the Bank against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or
proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his having been a director or officer of the Holding Company or the Bank (whether or not he continues to be a director or officer at the time of incurring such expenses or liabilities), such
expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgment, court costs and attorneys’ fees and the cost of reasonable settlements. 
  

	18.	SUCCESSOR TO THE HOLDING COMPANY AND THE BANK. 

 The Holding Company and the Bank shall require
any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Holding Company and the Bank, expressly and unconditionally, to assume and agree to
perform the Holding Company’s and the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Holding Company and the Bank would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken
place, 
  

	19.	LIMITATIONS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. 

 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
it is intended that, in the event that the Holding Company and/or the Bank elect to participate in any program of the United States government which, by its terms, limits the total amount of executive compensation that the Executive may receive,
this Agreement shall be amended by operation of law to comply with the limitations set out in such program. 

  
 16 

	20.	REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. 

 The parties agree that any payments contemplated pursuant to this
Agreement are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance (if required) with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and FDIC Regulation 12 C.F.R. Part 359 (“golden parachute” and indemnification payments), as such laws and regulations may
hereafter be amended from time to time. 
  

	21.	CLAW BACK. 

 (a) The Bank or its successors retain the legal right to demand the return of any
“golden parachute” payments from the Executive in the event that it shall be determined, by legal process or by order of the Bank’s or the Holding Company’s federal regulator(s) that the Executive: 

(i) has committed any fraudulent act or omission, breach of trust or fiduciary duty, or insider abuse with regard to the Bank
or the Holding Company that has had or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Bank or the Holding Company; or 

(ii) is substantially responsible for the insolvency of, the appointment of a conservator or receiver for, or the troubled
condition, as defined by applicable regulations of the appropriate federal banking agency, of the Bank, the Holding Company, or any FDIC insured depository institution subsidiary of the Holding Company; or 

(iii) has materially violated any applicable federal or state banking law or regulation that has had or is likely to have a
material effect on the Bank or the Holding Company; or 
 (iv) has violated or conspired to violate section 215, 656, 657,
1005, 1006, 1007, 1014, 1032, or 1344 of title 18 of the United States Code, or section 1341 or 1343 of such title affecting a federally insured financial institution as defined in title 18 of the United States Code. 

(b) The Bank and its successors-in-interest further retain the
legal right to demand the return by the Executive of any or all incentive compensation paid to the Executive pursuant to the terms of any compensation “clawback” or recoupment policy of the Holding Company and/or the Bank applicable to
similarly-situated employees of the Holding Company or the Bank or required to comply with applicable law (as may be amended from time to time and as may hereafter be adopted). 

  
 17 

	22.	BOARD MEMBERSHIP. 

 Termination of the Executive’s employment with the Holding Company and
the Bank for any reason whatsoever shall constitute the Executive’s resignation from the Board of Directors of the Holding Company, the Bank and of any subsidiary for which he serves as a director, and resignation as an officer of the Bank, the
Holding Company and of any of the subsidiaries for which he serves as an officer.
