II.  Advances and Other Credit Accommodations

    

    Section 2.1  Procedures
for Advances  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
govern each Advance heretofore, now and hereafter made by Seattle Bank to
Customer.  The Credit Policy of the Seattle Bank is an integral part
of the terms and conditions of all such Advances and is incorporated in this
Agreement by this reference as if fully set forth herein.  Additional
terms and conditions of Advances may be set forth in an Advance Master
Application and/or Advances Note, which Seattle Bank may require Customer to
sign and deliver to Seattle Bank from time to time.  Any additional,
particular terms and conditions of an Advance orally quoted by Seattle Bank and
accepted by Customer at the time of the Customer’s Request for an Advance,
including, without limitation, the principal amount, applicable interest rate or
due date of the Advance, will be confirmed by Seattle Bank in an Advance
Confirmation Advice or, if no Advance Confirmation Advice is issued, will be
evidenced by the books and records of the Seattle Bank.  In cases in
which a Request for an Advance is made orally by Customer of Seattle Bank in an
electronically recorded telephone conversation, and a question arises concerning
any particulars of such Advance, Customer agrees that such recording or a
transcript thereof will be an integral part of the Seattle Bank’s books and
records and may be used as evidence of such particulars.  In cases in
which an Advance requested orally by Customer is made by another federal home
loan bank, on behalf of Seattle Bank, under a Master Backup Support Agreement,
the books and records of such other federal home loan bank will establish any
additional, particular terms of such Advance.  If such Advance is
requested by Customer of such other federal home loan bank in an electronically
recorded telephone conversation, and a question arises concerning any
particulars of such Advance, Customer agrees that such recording or a transcript
thereof will be an integral part of the such other federal home loan bank’s
books and records and may be used as evidence of such
particulars.  Unless otherwise agreed by Seattle Bank, each Advance
will be made by crediting Customer’s demand deposit Account(s) with Seattle
Bank.  In all cases, funding of any Request for an Advance will be
subject to compliance by Customer with the terms and provisions of the Act, the
Regulations, the Credit Policy and this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Stock Ownership Requirement and Collateral Maintenance
Requirement.  In the event that Customer’s access to Advances is
subsequently restricted pursuant to the Act, the Regulations or any other
provision of applicable law, Seattle Bank will not be required to fund any
outstanding Commitment for Advances not funded prior to the effective date of
such restriction.

    

    Section 2.2  Repayment of
Advances  Customer agrees to repay each Advance in accordance
with its terms and conditions.  Customer will maintain in Customer’s
demand deposit Account(s) with Seattle Bank an amount at least equal to the
amounts then currently due and payable to Seattle Bank with respect to Advances,
and Customer hereby authorizes Seattle Bank to debit Customer’s Account(s) with
Seattle Bank for all amounts due and payable with respect to any Advance and for
all other amounts due and payable under this Agreement.  Customer
agrees that, in the event any such debit results in Customer’s demand deposit
Account being overdrawn, Customer will pay overdraft charges thereon at the rate
that Seattle Bank normally assesses for overdrafts on general demand deposit
accounts.  In the event that the balance in such demand deposit
Account(s) is, at any time, insufficient to pay such due and payable amounts,
Seattle Bank may in its discretion and without notice to Customer: (i) make a
“flexible balance” or other similar Advance, as provided in the Credit Policy,
in the amount of and for the purpose of paying such due and payable amounts; or
(ii) apply any other deposits, credits, Funds or other monies of Customer then
in the possession of Seattle Bank to the payment of such due and payable
amounts.  All payments with respect to Advances will be applied to any
fees, costs or charges applicable thereto, to interest due thereon and to any
principal amount thereof that is then due and payable, in such order and
priority as Seattle Bank may determine.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Section
2.3  Estoppel  For any Advance evidenced by an
Advance Confirmation Advice, failure of Customer, within ten (10) business days
of Customer’s receipt of the Advance Confirmation Advice, to deliver written
notice to Seattle Bank specifying any disputed particulars thereof, including
without limitation the principal amount, applicable interest rate or due date of
the Advance, will constitute the final agreement and acknowledgment by Customer
that the particulars of the Advance Confirmation Advice are accurate and are
those that Customer requested and by which Customer agreed to be bound, and
Customer will thereafter be estopped from asserting any claim or defense with
respect thereto.  For any Advance which has such particular terms
established by the books and records of the Seattle Bank or another federal home
loan bank rather than by an Advance Confirmation Advice, such books and records
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Seattle Bank
reserves the right to correct its scrivener’s errors, if any, in any Advance
Confirmation Advice or such books and records, and no such errors shall affect
Customer’s obligations in respect to the affected Advance.

    

    Section 2.4 Interest Customer
agrees to pay interest on each Advance at a rate per annum determined on the
basis described in the Credit Policy, Advance Master Application, Advances Note,
Advance Confirmation Advice or the books and records of Seattle Bank or other
federal home loan bank, as the case may be, pertaining to such
Advance.

    

    Section 2.5  Commitment
and Cancellation Fees  Customer agrees to pay when due any
commitment fees and any cancellation fees applicable to any Commitments used by
Seattle Bank for Advances, determined on the basis described in the Credit
Policy, the Commitment documentation or the books and records of Seattle Bank or
other federal home loan bank, as the case may be, pertaining to such
Commitment.

    

    Section
2.6  Other Credit Accommodations

    

    
      	
              2.6.1

            	
              Customer
      may apply to Seattle Bank for the issuance of other credit products,
      including without limitation Letters of Credit, firm commitments for
      Advances and Swap Transactions, provided such other credit products, and
      Customer’s intended use thereof, are authorized under the Act, the
      Regulations and the Credit Policy.  The terms and conditions of
      such Other Credit Accommodations shall be governed by the Act, the
      Regulations, the Credit Policy, this Agreement and such other
      documentation as Seattle Bank may require from time to
    time.

            
	 	 
	
              2.6.2

            	
              The
      Borrowing Capacity of Customer shall be reduced by Seattle Bank’s
      outstanding obligations under any Letter of Credit, Swap Transaction,
      Commitment or Other Credit Accommodation, as determined by Seattle Bank
      from time to time, in the same manner as outstanding
    Advances.

            
	 	 
	
              2.6.3

            	
              In
      the event any Commitment, including without limitation a Letter of Credit,
      is outstanding at the time of an Event of Default under Section 4.1 of
      this Agreement, Seattle Bank may at its option make an Advance by
      crediting a special Account with Seattle Bank in an amount equal to the
      outstanding Commitment.  Amounts credited to such special
      Account will be utilized by Seattle Bank for the purpose of satisfying
      Seattle Bank’s obligations under the outstanding
      Commitment.  When all such obligations have expired or have been
      satisfied, Seattle Bank will disburse the balance, if any, in such special
      Account first to the satisfaction of any Indebtedness then owing by
      Customer to Seattle Bank and then to Customer or its successors in
      interest.  Advances made pursuant to this Subsection 2.7.3 will
      be payable on demand and will bear interest at the rate in effect and
      being charged by Seattle Bank from time to time on overdrafts on demand
      deposit accounts of its Customers.

            

    

    

    Section 2.7  Prepayment
Fees  Customer agrees to pay a prepayment fee upon the
prepayment of all or any portion of any Advance or Other Credit Accommodation,
made before the due date thereof, whether such prepayment is made voluntarily or
involuntarily, including, without limitation, any prepayment resulting from
acceleration under Section 4.1 hereof upon an Event of Default.  The
amount of the prepayment fee shall not be less than zero and shall be determined
by the Seattle Bank on the basis described in the Regulations, the Credit Policy
and any applicable Advance Master Application, Advances Note, Advance
Confirmation Advice or Swap Transaction, as the case may be, pertaining to
prepayment of such Advance or Other Credit Accommodation.  Any
applicable illustrations and examples of prepayment fees in the Users Guide, as
published and revised by the Seattle Bank from time to time, are an integral
part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and are incorporated herein
by this reference as if fully set forth at length.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Section 2.8  Compliance
with the Credit Policy, Act and Regulations  Customer hereby
agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of the Credit Policy, the Act and
the Regulations, including, without limitation, any reporting requirements,
application procedures or eligibility requirements imposed by the Credit Policy,
the Act or the Regulations with respect to particular types of Advances,
Commitments or Other Credit Accommodations.  In the event of any
inconsistency between the Credit Policy and the Act or the Regulations, Customer
hereby agrees to comply with the more restrictive statute, regulation or
policy.  In the event any provision of the Credit Policy, the Act or
the Regulations is amended, Customer agrees to comply with the terms and
provisions of the Credit Policy, the Act and the Regulations as so amended from
time to time, provided that, to the extent permitted by the Act and the
Regulations, any particular terms of outstanding Advances or Commitments
existing at the time of any such amendment, including, without limitation,
interest rates or prepayment fees, will continue to be governed by the terms and
provisions of the Advance Master Application, Advances Note, Advance
Confirmation Advice or Commitment documentation which applied to such
outstanding Advances or Commitments at the time such Advances or Commitments
were made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seattle Bank shall retain
the right to amend from time to time the Borrowing Capacity, Collateral Coverage
Factors and Collateral Maintenance Requirements applicable to Customer and its
Eligible Collateral, and Customer agrees to comply with such changes upon
Seattle Bank’s notice thereof to Customer.

    

    Section 2.9  Additional
Covenants by Customer  Customer will maintain a copy of this
Agreement in its official records at all times.  Customer will give
Seattle Bank notice of any material event that would cause Customer, pursuant to
the provisions of the Act, the Regulations, the Credit Policy or this Agreement,
to be ineligible to become a Customer of Seattle Bank or ineligible to obtain
Advances, Commitments or Other Credit Accommodations.  Any obligation
of Seattle Bank to fund any Advance or Other Credit Accommodation, including any
Commitment, shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following
conditions precedent as of the date hereof and at the time of funding of each
Advance or Other Credit Accommodation: (a) all representations and warranties of
Customer contained this Agreement, or otherwise made by Customer to Seattle
Bank, are and continue to be correct; (b) no Event of Default under this
Agreement, or other documentation relating to the Advance or Other Credit
Accommodation, has occurred or would result from such Advance; (c) the Seattle
Bank has received such approvals, opinions or documents that the Seattle Bank
may request in connection with the Advance or Other Credit Accommodation; (d)
Customer satisfies all membership and borrowing eligibility criteria under the
Act, the Regulations, this Agreement and the Credit Policy; (e) Customer, in the
judgment of Seattle Bank, is not engaging or has not engaged in unsafe or
unsound banking practices, has adequate capital, is not sustaining operating
losses, does not have financial or managerial deficiencies that bear on the
Customer’s creditworthiness, and has no other deficiencies as determined by
Seattle Bank; (f) there has been in Seattle Bank’s judgment no material adverse
change in Customer, the Collateral or any financial or other information
submitted by Customer to Seattle Bank in connection with an Advance, Other
Credit Accommodations or any Other Obligations; and (g) there has been in
Seattle Bank’s judgment no change in governmental laws or regulations that
materially affects the Seattle Bank’s power, right, authority, or ability to
fund the Advance or Other Credit Accommodation.

              All
      promissory notes and other instruments, all mortgages, deeds of trust and
      other supporting obligations, all mortgage-backed securities, stock and
      other investment property, and all accounts, general intangibles, payment
      intangibles, chattel paper, letter of credit rights, deposit accounts,
      money, goods, software, commercial tort claims, equipment and inventory,
      now owned or hereafter acquired by Customer, including without
      limitation:

            
	 	 	 
	 
      	
              (a)

            	
              All
      Capital Stock now owned or hereafter acquired by Customer in Seattle Bank,
      including all payments which have been or hereafter are made on account of
      subscriptions to and all unpaid dividends on such
stock;

            
	 	 	 
	 
      	
              (b)

            	
              All
      Funds of Customer now and hereafter on deposit with Seattle
      Bank;

            
	 	 	 
	 
      	
              (c)

            	
              All
      Eligible Mortgage Collateral and related Mortgage Documents now owned or
      hereafter acquired by Customer;

            
	 	 	 
	 
      	
              (d)

            	
              All
      Eligible Securities Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by
      Customer; and

            
	 	 	 
	 
      	
              (e)

            	
              All
      Other Eligible Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by
      Customer.

            

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
      	
              3.1.2

            	
              It
      is the intention of Seattle Bank and Customer that the Collateral shall
      include all assets now owned or hereafter acquired by Customer in which a
      security interest can be created under the UCC, specifically including but
      not limited to the property types and categories set forth in Subsection
      3.1.1 and Subparagraphs 3.1.1(a)-(e) above.  All of the
      Collateral shall secure the Indebtedness, irrespective of whether only
      part of the Collateral constitutes Eligible Collateral for purposes of
      satisfying the Collateral Maintenance Requirements of Section 3.3
      below.

            

    

    

    Section 3.2  Customer’s
Representations and Warranties Regarding Collateral  Customer
represents and warrants to Seattle Bank, as of the date of this Agreement and
the date of each Advance, Commitment or Other Credit Accommodation made under
this Agreement, as follows:

    

    
      	
              3.2.1

            	
              Customer
      owns and has marketable title to all Collateral and has the right and
      authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral and to subject
      all of the Collateral to this Agreement, and Customer covenants that it
      will defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all
      persons;

            
	 	 
	
              3.2.2

            	
              With
      respect to any Eligible Mortgage Collateral originated by any party
      (whether affiliated or unaffiliated) other than Customer, the Mortgage
      Documents contain either a complete chain of endorsements (either on the
      mortgage note or a related allonge) from the originating party to
      Customer, a complete chain of endorsements in blank from each successive
      holder of the Mortgage Collateral or are MERS Mortgages for which
      Customer’s ownership has been registered with MERS.

            
	 	 
	
              3.2.3

            	
              The
      information contained in any financial report, call report, certification,
      audit, confirmation, report, schedule, or other documents required under
      this Agreement and any other information given from time to time by
      Customer as to each item of Eligible Collateral, and any information
      provided by Customer to its supervising state or federal agency in call
      reports or other reports, from which Seattle Bank obtains information
      related to Collateral, is true, accurate and complete in all material
      respects;

            
	 	 
	
              3.2.4

            	
              All
      Eligible Collateral meets the standards and requirements from time to time
      established by the Credit Policy, the Act and the Regulations and, in any
      case of variances among the Act, the Regulations and the Credit Policy,
      the most restrictive of such standards and
requirements;

            
	 	 
	
              3.2.5

            	
              To
      Customer’s knowledge, no part of any real property encumbered by Mortgage
      Collateral contains or is subject to the effects of any hazardous
      materials or other hazardous substances, except as may have been disclosed
      to and reasonably approved by Customer in its underwriting of Mortgage
      Collateral, and Customer will indemnify and hold Seattle Bank harmless,
      and, at the option of Seattle Bank, defend Seattle Bank (with counsel
      satisfactory to Seattle Bank) from all liabilities, costs, damages, claims
      or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and environmental consultants’
      fees) suffered, paid or incurred by Seattle Bank resulting from or arising
      out of any requirement under any applicable federal, state or local law,
      regulation, ordinance, order, judgment or decree relating to the release
      or cleanup of any such hazardous material or hazardous
      substance;

            
	 	 
	
              3.2.6

            	
              Except
      as permitted under Section 3.3 of this Agreement, Customer will not (i)
      sell, offer to sell or otherwise transfer Eligible Collateral, nor pledge,
      mortgage or create or suffer to exist a lien, claim of lien, encumbrance,
      right to set-off or other security interest or collateral assignment of
      any kind whatsoever in Eligible Collateral or the proceeds thereof in
      favor of any person other than Seattle Bank, or (ii) transfer physical
      possession of the Mortgage Documents evidencing Eligible Mortgage
      Collateral to any third party or affiliate without the prior written
      consent of Seattle Bank;

            
	 	 
	
              3.2.7

            	
              All
      taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or assessed or imposed
      upon or with respect to Eligible Collateral, including any real property
      subject to Eligible Mortgage Collateral, will be paid and if Customer
      fails to promptly pay such taxes, assessments or governmental changes,
      Seattle Bank my (but will not be required to) pay the same and any such
      expense will be an obligation under this Agreement; and

            
	 	 
	
              3.2.8

            	
              Customer
      will notify Seattle Bank promptly in writing of any change in the location
      of the Eligible Collateral and of any change in location of its principal
      place of business or jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or
      formation.

            

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Section
3.3  Collateral Maintenance Requirement

    

    
      	
              3.3.1

            	
              Customer
      will at all times maintain an amount of Eligible Collateral, pledged to
      Seattle Bank under this Agreement, which, after discounting by the
      Collateral Coverage Factor(s) applicable to such Eligible Collateral, has
      a value, as determined by Seattle Bank, of not less than the aggregate
      amount of all Advances, Commitments and Other Credit Accommodations then
      outstanding.  This Collateral Maintenance Requirement may be
      increased or decreased by Seattle Bank at any time, based upon Customer’s
      creditworthiness or the quality of Customer’s Eligible Collateral, as
      determined by Seattle Bank from time to time.  Customer will
      not, without prior written consent of Seattle Bank, assign, pledge,
      transfer, create any security interest in, sell, or otherwise dispose of
      any Eligible Collateral if: (i) such Eligible Collateral is Physical
      Possession Collateral under Section 3.5 of this Agreement; (ii)
      immediately after such action, Customer’s remaining Eligible Collateral
      would be insufficient to comply with the Collateral Maintenance
      Requirement; or (iii) at the time of such action, there is an outstanding
      Event of Default under Section 4.1 of this Agreement.

            
	 	 
	
              3.3.2

            	
              All
      Eligible Collateral (other than Physical Possession Collateral held by
      Seattle Bank of its custodian) will be held by Customer in trust for the
      benefit of, and subject to the direction and control of Seattle Bank, and
      will be physically safeguarded by Customer with at least the same degree
      of care as Customer would ordinarily use in prudently safeguarding its
      property.  Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will take
      all action necessary or desirable to protect and preserve Eligible
      Collateral held by Customer, including without limitation the maintaining
      of insurance on property securing mortgages constituting Eligible
      Collateral (such policies and certificates of insurance relating to such
      mortgages are in this Agreement called “insurance”), the collection of
      payments under all such mortgages and under all such insurance, and
      otherwise assuring that loans comprising Eligible Mortgage Collateral are
      serviced in accordance with the standards of a reasonable and prudent
      mortgagee.  Customer, as Seattle Bank’s agent, will collect all
      payments when due on all Eligible Collateral held by Customer in trust for
      the benefit of Seattle Bank.  If Seattle Bank requests, all such
      collections shall be held separate from Customer’s other monies in one or
      more designated Accounts maintained at Seattle Bank.  At Seattle
      Bank’s sole discretion, Seattle Bank may then apply such collections to
      the payment of Indebtedness as it becomes due; otherwise, and provided
      there is no outstanding Event of Default under Section 4.1 of this
      Agreement, Customer may use and dispose of such collections in the
      ordinary course of its business.

            
	 	 
	
              3.3.3

            	
              Subject
      to the Collateral Maintenance Requirement of Subsection 3.3.1 above, and
      provided there is no outstanding Event of Default under Section 4.1 of
      this Agreement, Customer may use or dispose of all or part of the
      Collateral and proceeds thereof in the ordinary course of its
      business.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may not use
      or dispose or all or part of Physical Possession Collateral or the
      proceeds thereof, except upon the De-Pledging of such Physical Possession
      Collateral in accordance with Section 3.6 below.

            
	 	 
	
              3.3.4

            	
              Customer
      will, upon request of Seattle Bank, immediately take such actions and
      execute such documentation as Seattle Bank may deem necessary or
      appropriate to create and perfect Seattle Bank’s security interest in the
      Collateral or otherwise to obtain, preserve, protect, enforce or collect
      the Collateral; including, without limitation, executing any agreements,
      instructions or other documents that Seattle Bank deems necessary to
      establish control of Collateral by Seattle Bank or by its custodian on
      Seattle Bank’s behalf.

            
	 	 
	
              3.3.5

            	
              Any
      Collateral that is not satisfactory to Seattle Bank may be rejected at any
      time as Eligible Collateral by Seattle Bank, or in Seattle Bank’s
      discretion may at any time be discounted by a Collateral Coverage Factor
      that is less than the Collateral Coverage Factor normally ascribed thereto
      under the Credit Policy.  Seattle Bank may require, before or
      during the period when any Advance is made to Customer, that Customer make
      any or all Eligible Securities Collateral, all Mortgage Documents for
      Eligible Mortgage Collateral and any other documents pertaining to
      Eligible Collateral, including without limitation any agreements between
      Customer and its servicing agents, available to Seattle Bank for its
      inspection and approval.

            
	 	 
	
              3.3.6

            	
              In
      the case of any Eligible Collateral which is physically possessed by
      Customer, Customer will grant, upon Seattle Bank’s written request, an
      irrevocable license to Seattle Bank, in form and content satisfactory to
      Seattle Bank (and if requested by Seattle Bank, joined in by any real
      property owner or landlord of the premises where such Eligible Collateral
      is located), that will allow representatives of Seattle Bank to enter the
      premises of Customer in order to inspect from time to time and/or remove
      and take possession of the Eligible
Collateral.

            

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
      	
              3.3.7

            	
              In
      the case of Eligible Collateral which is physically possessed by any
      affiliate or servicing agent of Customer, Customer will, upon Seattle
      Bank’s written request, cause Customer’s affiliate or servicing agent to
      (i) grant an irrevocable license to Seattle Bank, in form and content
      satisfactory to Seattle Bank (and if requested by Seattle Bank, joined in
      by any real property owner or landlord of the premises where such Eligible
      Collateral is located), that will allow representatives of Seattle Bank to
      enter the premises of Customer’s affiliate or servicing agent in order to
      inspect from time to time and/or remove and take possession of the
      Eligible Collateral; and/or (ii) establish custodial or control

      the benefit of Seattle Bank as secured party.  Seattle Bank may
      require such arrangements irrespective of whether the Eligible Collateral
      has been designated as Listed Collateral or Physical Possession Collateral
      under Sections 3.4 or 3.5 below.

      loan pledged to Seattle Bank as Eligible Mortgage Collateral and any item
      of Eligible CFI Collateral pledged to Seattle Bank (collectively, “Listed
      Collateral”).  At such other times as Seattle Bank may request,
      Customer will deliver to Seattle Bank periodic status reports and
      accompanying schedules, in form and content acceptable to Seattle Bank,

      Mortgage Collateral delivered to Seattle Bank or its approved custodian as
      Physical Possession Collateral will be endorsed or assigned by Customer in
      blank or, if requested by Seattle Bank, to Seattle Bank.  For
      MERS Mortgages, Customer will execute a notification to MERS of its
      assignment of the MERS Mortgage in blank or, if requested by Seattle Bank,
      to Seattle Bank.  Regardless of whether any endorsement is
      stated to be “without recourse,” Customer shall be liable for any
      deficiency remaining after any exercise by the Bank of its remedies in
      respect of Collateral, as provided in Section 4.2
below.

              With
      respect to certified Eligible Securities Collateral pledged to Seattle
      Bank as Physical Possession Collateral, the delivery requirements

      securities in Seattle Bank’s name; or (iii) possession of such
      certificated securities, on Seattle Bank’s behalf, by a custodian approved
      by Seattle Bank.  Any such possession of certificated securities
      by an approved custodian, on Seattle Bank’s behalf, will be effected and
      evidenced by documentation acceptable to Seattle Bank in form and content,
      establishing Seattle Bank’s control of such certificated securities under

              With
      respect to uncertificated Eligible Securities Collateral pledged to
      Seattle Bank as Physical Possession Collateral, satisfaction of the
      delivery requirements contained in this Section 3.5 will be effected and
      evidenced by agreements, instructions or other documentation acceptable to
      Seattle Bank in form and content, establishing Seattle Bank’s control of
      such uncertificated securities under the provisions of the
      UCC.

            
	 	 
	
              3.5.5

            	
              Concurrently
      with the initial delivery of Physical Possession Collateral, and at such
      other times as Seattle Bank may request, Customer will deliver to Seattle
      Bank a status report and accompanying schedules, in form and content
      acceptable to Seattle Bank, describing the status of the Physical
      Possession Collateral held by Seattle Bank or its custodian.  At
      such other times as Seattle Bank may request, Customer will deliver to
      Seattle Bank periodic status reports and accompanying schedules, in form
      and content acceptable to Seattle Bank, describing the status of the
      Physical Possession Collateral.  Until Physical Possession
      Collateral is De-Pledged in accordance with Section 3.6 below, such
      physical possession by Seattle Bank or its approved custodian shall be
      maintained with respect to such Physical Possession
      Collateral.  At Seattle Bank’s sole discretion, all proceeds the
      Physical Possession Collateral, including without limitation all payments
      made under the loans or securities constituting Physical Possession
      Collateral, shall be held separate from Customer’s other monies in one or
      more designated Accounts maintained at Seattle Bank.  Seattle
      Bank may apply such monies to the payment of Indebtedness as it becomes
      due, or hold such monies as part of its Physical Possession Collateral,
      subject to De-Pledging under the terms and conditions of Section 3.6
      below.

            
	 	 
	
              3.5.6

            	
              Customer
      agrees to pay to Seattle Bank such reasonable fees and charges as may be
      assessed by Seattle Bank to cover Seattle Bank’s overhead and other costs
      relating to the receipt, holding, De-Pledge, redelivery and reassignment
      of Physical Possession and to reimburse Seattle Bank upon request for all
      filing or recording fees and other reasonable expenses, disbursements and
      advances incurred or made by Seattle Bank in connection therewith,
      including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and costs of legal
      counsel of Seattle Bank.  Customer shall pay the fees and
      expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and
      costs, of any custodian approved or retained by Seattle Bank with respect
      to Collateral.  As such sums owed to Seattle Bank or to such
      custodian may be collected by Seattle Bank, at its option, by debiting
      Customer’s Account(s) with Seattle
Bank.

            

    

    

    Section 3.6  De-Pledging
of Collateral  Upon receipt by Seattle Bank of a written
request from Customer, in form and content acceptable to Seattle Bank, for the
De-Pledging of any part of the Collateral or proceeds thereof in which Seattle
Bank has perfected its security interest, setting forth (i) a sufficient
description of the Collateral to be withdrawn or reassigned; and (ii) a
certificate of an authorized officer of Customer certifying that the immediately
after such De-Pledge, Customer’s remaining Eligible Collateral will be
sufficient to comply with the Collateral Maintenance Requirement, Seattle Bank
will promptly return, reassign or partially release to Customer, at Customer’s
expense, the Collateral specified in said request.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Customer may not obtain
any such withdrawal or reassignment (a) while an Event of Default under this
Agreement has occurred and is continuing; (b) at any time that Seattle Bank’s
records indicate that immediately after such De-Pledge, Customer’s remaining
Eligible Collateral would be insufficient to comply with the Collateral
Maintenance Requirement as determined by Seattle Bank; or (c) at any time that
Seattle Bank reasonably and in good faith deems itself
insecure.  Customer will pay upon request for all filing or recording
fees and other reasonable expenses incurred by Seattle Bank or any approved
custodian in connection with De-Pledging of any Collateral, including without
limitation reasonable attorneys fees and costs of legal counsel of Seattle Bank
or such custodian.  Any such sums owed to Seattle Bank or to such
custodian may be collected by Seattle Bank, at its option, by debiting
Customer’s demand or time deposit Account(s) with Seattle Bank.

reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, which will not include any steps necessary to preserve Customer’s

signature thereon or the description or misdescription, or value of property
represented, or purported to be represented, by any such document or

    Section
4.2  Remedies  Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Seattle Bank will have all of the rights and remedies provided by
applicable law, including but not limited to all of the remedies of a secured
party under the UCC.  In addition, Seattle Bank may take immediate
possession of any of the Collateral or any part thereof wherever the same may be
found.  Seattle Bank may sell, assign and deliver the Collateral or
any part thereof at public or private sale for such price as Seattle Bank deems
appropriate without any liability for any loss due to decrease in the market
value of the Collateral during the period held.  Seattle Bank will
have the right to purchase all or part of the Collateral at such
sale.  If the Collateral includes insurance or securities which will
be redeemed by the issuer upon surrender, or any accounts or deposits in the
possession of Seattle Bank, Seattle Bank may realize upon such Collateral
without notice to Customer.  If any notification of intended
disposition of any of the Collateral is required by applicable law, then, if no
greater period of notification is required by applicable law, such notification
will be deemed reasonable and properly given if mailed, postage prepaid, at
least 10 days before any such disposition to the address of Customer appearing
on the records of Seattle Bank.  The proceeds of any sale will be
applied in the order that Seattle Bank, in its sole discretion, may
choose.  Customer agrees to pay all the costs and expenses of Seattle
Bank in the collection of the Indebtedness and enforcement of Seattle Bank’s
rights and remedies in case of default, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees.  Seattle Bank will, to the extent required
by law, apply any surplus after payment of the Indebtedness, provision for
repayment to Seattle Bank of any amounts to be paid or advanced under
outstanding Commitments, and all costs of collection and enforcement to third
parties claiming a secondary security interest in the Collateral, with any
remaining surplus paid to Customer.  Customer will be liable to
Seattle Bank for any deficiency remaining.

    

    Section 4.3  Payment of
Prepayment Charges  Any prepayment fees or charges for which
provision is made, whether under the Regulations, the Credit Policy, or any
applicable Advance Master Application, Advances Note, Advance Confirmation
Advice or Swap Transaction, as the case may be, with respect to any Advances or
Other Credit Accommodations, will be payable at the time of any voluntary or
involuntary payment of the principal of such Advances or Other Credit
Accommodations prior to the originally scheduled maturity thereof, including,
without limitation, payments that are made as a part of a liquidation of
Customer or that become due as a result of an acceleration pursuant to Section
4.1 of this Agreement, whether such payment is made by Customer, by a
conservator, receiver, liquidator or trustee of or for Customer, or by any
successor to or any assignee of Customer.

    

    Article
V.  Accounts

    

    Section 5.1  Deposit
Accounts  The Customer may open Accounts with the Seattle Bank
subject to the Act, the Regulations, the Credit Policy and any other policies
adopted by the Seattle Bank from time to time in respect to Accounts and related
services, including without limitation the wire transfer of
funds.  Any Customer’s funds deposited in Accounts shall be subject to
withdrawal or charge at any time and from time to time upon wire transfers or
any other orders for the payment of money when made and drawn on behalf of the
Customer by a person or persons authorized by Resolution of the Customer under
Section 6.7 below.  The Seattle Bank is authorized to pay any such
wire transfers or other orders, provided they are in the form prescribed by it,
and to charge the Customer’s Accounts therefore, without inquiry as to the
circumstances of issue or the disposition of the proceeds, even if drawn to the
individual order of any authorized person or payable to others for his
account.

    

    Section 5.2  Bank’s
Reliance  The Seattle Bank, if it acts in good faith and with
ordinary care (and without liability if it does so act), can charge the Accounts
with orders received by the Seattle Bank by telephone, or otherwise orally, from
any person acting for or purporting to act for the Customer as its officer or
employee, for the transfer of funds to others, including the person giving such
instructions or payable to others for his account, or between Accounts of the
Customer.  All scheduled charges and fees adopted by the Seattle Bank
from time to time in respect to Accounts and related services will be charged
monthly to such Accounts.

    

    Section 5.3  Positive
Balance Requirement  The Customer shall maintain a net positive
collected balance in all of its Accounts.  The Seattle Bank shall have
the option of closing or restricting the use of Accounts in which positive
balances are not maintained.  For each day the aggregate collected
balance of an Account is negative, the Customer shall pay such overdraft charges
as are consistent with the scheduled charges and fees adopted by the Seattle
Bank from time to time in respect to Accounts and related services.

pursuant to this Agreement:

    

    
      	
              6.1.1

            	
              Customer
      is not, and neither the execution of nor the performance of any of the
      transactions or obligations of Customer under this agreement will, with
      the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise, cause Customer to
      be: (i) in violation of its charter or articles of incorporation, by-laws,
      the Act, or the Regulations, any other law or administrative regulation,
      or any court decree; or (ii) in default under or in breach of any
      indenture, contract, or other instrument or agreement to which Customer is
      a party or by which it or any of its property is
  bound.

            

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
      	
              6.1.2

            	
              Customer
      has full corporate power and authority and has received all corporate and
      governmental authorizations and approvals (including without limitation
      those required under the Act and the Regulations) as may be required to
      enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, to borrow
      each Advance and to obtain each Other Credit
  Accommodation.

            
	 	 
	
              6.1.3

            	
              The
      information given by Customer in any document provided, or in any oral

    Section
6.2  Assignment  Seattle Bank may assign or negotiate
to any other federal home loan bank or to any other person or entity, with or
without recourse, any Indebtedness of Customer or participations therein, and
Seattle Bank may assign or transfer all or any part of Seattle Bank’s right,
title, and interest in and to this Agreement and may assign and deliver the
whole or any part of the Collateral to the transferee, which will succeed to all
the powers and rights of Seattle Bank in respect thereof, and Seattle Bank will
thereafter be forever relieved and fully discharged from any liability or
responsibility with respect to the transferred Collateral.  Customer
hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such disposition will give rise to a
direct obligation of Customer to the participant.  Customer hereby
authorizes Seattle Bank and each participant, in case of default by Customer
under this Agreement, to proceed directly, by right of setoff or otherwise,
against any assets of Customer which may at the time of such default be in the
respective hands of Seattle Bank or any such participant.  Customer
further agrees that Seattle Bank may furnish any information pertaining to
Customer which is in the possession of Seattle Bank to any prospective
participant to assist it in evaluating such participation provided that any
non-public information reasonably designated in writing to Seattle Bank by
Customer as constituting non-public information will be furnished to such
prospective participant on a confidential basis.  Customer may not
assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the express prior consent of Seattle Bank, which may be granted or withheld in
Seattle Bank’s sole discretion.

    

    Section 6.3  Discretion of
Seattle Bank to Grant or Deny Advances  Nothing contained in
this Agreement or in any documents describing or setting forth the Credit Policy
or any other policy of Seattle Bank will be construed as an agreement or
commitment on the part of Seattle Bank to grant Advances or extend Commitments
or Other Credit Accommodations under this Agreement, the right and power of
Seattle Bank in its discretion to either grant or deny any of the foregoing
being herein expressly reserved.

    

    Section 6.4  Amendment;
Waivers  No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom will be effective unless
executed by the party against whom such change is asserted and will be effective
only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No
notice to or demand on Customer in any case will entitle Customer to any other
or further notice or demand in the same, or similar or other
circumstances.  Any forbearance, failure or delay by Seattle Bank in
exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will not be deemed to
be a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise by Seattle Bank of any
right, power or remedy under this Agreement will not preclude the further
exercise thereof.  Every right, power and remedy of Seattle Bank will
continue in full force and effect until specifically waived by Seattle Bank in
writing.

    

    Section 6.5  Exceptions to
Credit Policy  Customer acknowledges and agrees that no
exception to the Credit Policy requested of Seattle Bank by Customer shall be
binding upon the Seattle Bank unless (i) approved in writing by the Seattle
Bank’s authorized representative and (ii) authorized by the Act and
Regulations.

    

    Section 6.6  Jurisdiction;
Legal Fees  In any action or proceeding brought by Seattle Bank
or Customer in order to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, the
parties hereby consent to, and agree that they will submit to, the jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, or,
if such action or proceeding may not be brought in federal court, the
jurisdiction of the courts of King County, Washington.  Customer
agrees that, if any action or proceeding is brought by Customer seeking to
obtain any legal or equitable relief against Seattle Bank under or arising out
of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, and such relief is not
granted by the final decision, after any and all appeals, of a court of
competent jurisdiction, Customer will pay all attorneys’ fees and other costs
incurred by Seattle Bank in connection therewith.  Customer agrees to
reimburse Seattle Bank for all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for Seattle Bank) incurred by Seattle Bank in
connection with (i) the administration, enforcement, interpretation or
preservation of Seattle Bank’s rights under this Agreement including, but not
limited to, its rights in respect of any Collateral or the audit or possession
thereof, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or any suit has been
brought; (ii) Seattle Bank’s rights in any litigation, arbitration or
supervisory, receivership, bankruptcy or other insolvency or regulatory
proceedings affecting Customer, any Collateral or any Advances, Other Credit
Accommodations or Other Obligations; or (iii) Seattle Bank’s preparation of
additional documentation for Advances, Other Credit Accommodations or Other
Obligations or any Collateral, or any amendments, approvals, consents, waivers
or releases requested, required, proposed or done from time to
time.

      specimen signatures of the persons authorized to apply on behalf of
      Customer to Seattle Bank for Advances and otherwise act for and on behalf

      certifications are incorporated in this Agreement and made a part of this
      Agreement and will continue in effect until expressly revoked by Customer
      notwithstanding that subsequent certifications may authorize additional
      persons to act for and on behalf of Customer.

            
	 	 
	
              6.8.2

            	
              Prior
      to or at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
      Secretary or the Assistant Secretaries of Customer shall provide the
      Seattle Bank with a certified copy of a resolution adopted by the
      Customer’s Board of Directors or other governing body (“Resolution”)
      approving this Agreement and authorizing designated officers or employees
      of the Customer to obtain Advances and Other Credit Accommodations, open
      and use Accounts, and incur Other Obligations.  The Seattle Bank
      may rely upon, and the Customer is estopped from denying, the authority of
      the persons designated in the Resolution or of the persons to whom such
      authority has been delegated pursuant to the terms of the
      Resolution.

            
	 	 
	
              6.8.3

            	
              Notwithstanding
      the preceding or any other provision of this Agreement, the Seattle Bank
      may, but is not obligated to, honor, and Customer shall be bound by, any
      form of request, including an oral request, for Advances, Other Credit
      Accommodations or other services from Seattle Bank, whenever euch requests
      are made by persons purporting to act as officers or employees of
      Customer, if Seattle Bank acts in good faith and with ordinary care (and
      without liability if it does so
act).

            

    

    

    Section 6.9  Recording
Conversations  Customer for itself and its employees hereby
authorizes and consents to Seattle Bank’s electronic recording of, transcription
of and use of all telephone conversations made by Customer’s employees to the
Seattle Bank for the purpose of requesting Advances or Other Credit
Accommodations.  The period of time for which such recordings are
stored or whether transcriptions are made shall be determined by Seattle
Bank.

    

    Section 6.10  Stock
Ownership Requirement  The Seattle Bank and the Customer
acknowledge and agree that the Customer is subject to the Member Advance Stock
Purchase Requirement and other terms and conditions set forth in the Capital
Plan of the Seattle Bank.  The Member Advance Stock Purchase
Requirement provides that the Customer hold a specified amount capital stock in
the Seattle Bank in connection with Advance transactions.  Currently,
each Customer is required to hold Class B (1) stock with a par value equal to
three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the unpaid principal balances of Advances
As set forth in the Capital Plan, the Board of Directors of the Seattle Bank may
change the above percentage within a range of not less than two and one-half
percent (2.5%) or not greater than four and one-half percent
(4.5%).  The Customer agrees to be bound by any such change in the
Member Advance Stock Purchase Requirement percentage.  Any such change
in the Member Advance Stock Purchase Requirement will be applied as of the
implementation date of the change to all new Advances made by the Seattle Bank
to the Customer.  In addition, the Customer agrees and acknowledges
that it will be subject to all amendments to the Capital Plan, that may be made
from time to time.

    

    Section 6.11  Force
Majeure  Any obligations of the Seattle Bank in connection with
the Agreement, any Commitment, or otherwise arising in connection with any
Advance, Other Credit Accommodation, Account, Mortgage Purchase Program or other
service, shall be excused to the extent delayed or prevented by reason of
computer, communications system or power failure, labor disturbances,
governmental laws, orders or regulations, riots, insurrection, acts of terror,
war or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Seattle
Bank.  In addition, the Seattle Bank shall not be liable for the
failure of any wire transfer, fedwire or other such system.

    

    Section 6.12  Limitation
of Damages  If Seattle Bank, in connection with this Agreement,
any Commitment, or any Advance, Other Credit Accommodation, Account, Mortgage
Purchase Program or other service, breaches any obligation of Seattle Bank to
Customer not otherwise excused by this Agreement or applicable law, Seattle Bank
will be obligated to Customer only for Customer’s actual, direct damages, if
any.  Under no circumstances shall Seattle Bank be liable for, and
Customer hereby forever waives, any special, indirect or consequential damages
or any punitive or exemplary damages.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Section 6.13  Applicable
Law; Severability  In addition to the terms and conditions
specifically set forth in this Agreement and any other related documentation,
this Agreement, and all Advances granted and Commitments extended under this
Agreement, will be governed by the statutory and common law of the Unites States
and, to the extent Federal law incorporates or defers to state law, the laws
(exclusive of the choice of law provisions) of the State of
Washington.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the UCC of the State of
Washington, as amended from time to time, will be deemed applicable to this
Agreement and to any Advance or Other Credit Accommodation made or Collateral
pledged under this Agreement, except as otherwise required by the provisions of
RCW 62A.9A-301 through 307.  In the event that any portion of this
Agreement conflicts with applicable law, such conflict will not affect other
provisions of this Agreement that can be given effect without the conflicting
provision, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be
severable.

    

    Section 6.14  Successors
and Assigns  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of Customer and Seattle
Bank.

    

    Section 6.15  Amendment
and Restatement of Any Prior Agreement  This Agreement amends
and restates the terms of, and is not a novation of, any previous agreements
between the parties or their predecessors entitled “Advances, Security and
Deposit Agreement,” “Deposit Account Resolution” or “Advances Agreement, Pledge
Agreement and Security Agreement.”  This Agreement shall not release
or impair the priority position of any existing Collateral for any existing
Collateral securing any existing Indebtedness.

    

    NOTICE:
ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, TO EXTEND CREDIT OR TO
FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER WASHINGTON
LAW.

WITNESS WHEREOF, Customer and Seattle Bank have caused this Agreement to be
singed in their names by their duly authorized officers as of the date first

Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to provide motivation to Key Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to put forth maximum efforts toward the continued growth, profitability, and success of the Company and its Subsidiaries by providing incentives to such Key Employees through the ownership and performance of the Common Stock or Common Stock derivatives of the Company. Toward this objective, the Committee may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, Stock Awards, performance units, performance shares, and/or other incentive awards to Key Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan.

If the Common Stock is not listed on any registered national securities exchange or quoted on NASDAQ, then the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Committee by the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method consistent with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

3.

Administration

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to (a) interpret the Plan and make factual determinations; (b) establish or amend such rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the proper operation and administration of the Plan; (c) select Key Employees to receive Awards under the Plan; (d) determine the form of an Award, whether a stock option, stock appreciation right, Stock Award, performance unit, performance share, or other incentive award established by the Committee in accordance with clause (h) below, the number of shares or Units subject to the Award, all the terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of an Award, including the time and conditions of exercise or vesting, and the terms of any Award Notice, which may include the waiver or amendment of prior terms and conditions or acceleration or early vesting or payment of an Award under certain circumstances determined by the Committee; (e) determine whether Awards will be granted individually, in combination or in tandem; (f) grant waivers of Plan terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations; (g) accelerate the vesting, exercise, or payment of an Award or the performance period of an Award when such action or actions would be in the best interest of the Company; (h) establish such other types of Awards, besides those specifically enumerated in paragraph 2.1 hereof, which the Committee determines are consistent with the Plan's purpose; and (i) take any and all other action it deems necessary or advisable for the proper operation or administration of the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may not exercise its authority or discretion in a manner that would cause an Award to violate the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.  All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive. All actions required of the Committee under the Plan shall be made in the Committee's sole discretion, not in a fiduciary capacity and need not be uniformly applied to other persons, including similarly situated persons. The Committee, in its discretion, may delegate its authority and duties under the Plan to the Chief Executive Officer and/or to other senior officers of the Company under such conditions and/or subject to such limitations as the Committee may establish; provided, however, that only the Committee may select and grant Awards to Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or to whom Section 162(m) of the Code applies. 

4.

Eligibility

Any Key Employee is eligible to become a Participant of the Plan. 

5.

Shares Available

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock, $0.10 par value per share, of the Company which shall be available for grant of Awards under the Plan (including incentive stock options) during its term shall not exceed 29,000,000 (such amount shall be subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 19 for events occurring after July 19, 2007). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that shall be granted under the Plan to any one individual during any calendar year shall be 250,000. (Such amount shall be subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 19.) Any shares of Common Stock related to Awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of shares, are settled in cash in lieu of Common Stock, or are exchanged in the Committee's discretion for Awards not involving Common Stock, shall be 

3

available again for grant under the Plan. Further, any shares of Common Stock which are used by a Participant for the full or partial payment to the Company of the purchase price of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of a stock option, or for any withholding taxes due as a result of such exercise, shall again be available for Awards under the Plan. Similarly, shares of Common Stock with respect to which a stock appreciation right (“SAR”) has been exercised and paid in cash shall again be available for grant under the Plan. The shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. 

6.

Term

The Plan shall become effective as of April 18, 1996, subject to its approval by the Company's shareholders at the 1996 Annual Meeting. No Awards shall be exercisable or payable before approval of the Plan has been obtained from the Company's shareholders. Awards shall not be granted pursuant to the Plan after April 20, 2014. 

7.

Participation 

The Committee shall select, from time to time, Participants from those Key Employees who, in the opinion of the Committee, can further the Plan's purposes. Once a Participant is so selected, the Committee shall determine the type or types of Awards to be made to the Participant and shall establish in the related Award Notices the terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, applicable to the Awards in addition to those set forth in this Plan and the administrative rules and regulations issued by the Committee. 

8.

Stock Options 

(a) 

Grants. Awards may be granted in the form of stock options to purchase Common Stock or Common Stock derivatives. These stock options may be incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or non-qualified stock options (i.e., stock options which are not incentive stock options), or a combination of both. 

(b) 

Terms and Conditions of Options. An option shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times as may be determined by the Committee. The price at which Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of a stock option shall be established by the Committee, but such price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the stock option's grant. 

(c) 

Restrictions Relating to Incentive Stock Options. Stock options issued in the form of incentive stock options shall, in addition to being subject to all applicable terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations established by the Committee, comply with Section 422 of the Code. Accordingly, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the option was granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) exceeds $100,000 (or such other limit as may be required by the Code), then such option as to the excess shall be treated as a nonqualified stock option. Further, the per share option price of an incentive stock option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. An incentive stock option shall not be granted to any Participant who is not an employee of the Company or any 

4

“subsidiary” (within the meaning of section 424(f) of the Code). An incentive stock option shall not be granted to any employee who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any “parent” or “subsidiary” of the Company (within the meaning of section 424(f) of the Code), unless the purchase price per share is not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of grant and the option exercise period is not more than five years from the date of grant. Otherwise, each option shall expire not later than ten years from its date of grant. 

(d) 

Additional Terms and Conditions. The Committee may, by way of the Award Notice or otherwise, establish such other terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of any stock option Award, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a stock option shall not be entitled to receive or accrue dividends or dividend equivalents; however, once a Participant has exercised a stock option, the Participant will be entitled to any dividends paid or payable to owners of the Common Stock following exercise.

(e) 

Exercise. Upon exercise, the option price of a stock option may be paid (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) in shares of Common Stock or shares of restricted Common Stock as to which restrictions have lapsed; (iii) a combination of the foregoing; or (iv) such other consideration as the Committee may deem appropriate. Subject to the discretion of the Committee, any option granted under the Plan may be exercised by a broker-dealer acting on behalf of a Participant if (i) the broker-dealer has received from the Participant or the Company a fully- and duly-endorsed agreement evidencing such option and instructions signed by the Participant requesting the Company to deliver the shares of Common Stock subject to such option to the broker-dealer on behalf of the Participant and specifying the account into which such shares should be deposited, (ii) adequate provision has been made with respect to the payment of any withholding taxes due upon such exercise or, in the case of an incentive stock option, the disposition of such shares and (iii) the broker-dealer and the Participant have otherwise complied with Section 220.3(e)(4) of Regulation T, 12 CFR Part 220 and any successor rules and regulations applicable to such exercise. The Committee shall establish appropriate methods for accepting Common Stock, whether restricted or unrestricted, and may impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on the use of such Common Stock to exercise a stock option. 

(f) 

Rule 16b-3 Restrictions. A Participant who is a director or officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be required to exercise stock options in accordance with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time. 

9.

Stock Appreciation Rights 

(a) 

Grants. Awards may be granted in the form of stock appreciation rights SARs.  A SAR may be granted in tandem with all or a portion of a related stock option under the Plan (“Tandem SARs”), or may be granted separately (“Freestanding SARs”). A Tandem SAR may be granted either at the time of the grant of the related stock option or at any time thereafter during the term of the stock option. SARs shall entitle the recipient to receive a payment equal to the appreciation in market value of a stated number of shares of Common Stock from the exercise price to the market value on the date of exercise. In the case of SARs granted in tandem 

5

with stock options granted prior to the grant of such SARs, the appreciation in value is from the option price of such related stock option to the market value on the date of exercise. No SAR may be exercised for cash by an officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, except in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time. 

(b) 

Terms and Conditions of Tandem SARS. A Tandem SAR shall be exercisable to the extent, and only to the extent, that the related stock option is exercisable, and the “exercise price” of such an SAR (the base from which the value of the SAR is measured at its exercise) shall be the option price under the related stock option. However, at no time shall a Tandem SAR be issued if the option price of its related stock option is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the Tandem SAR's grant. If a related stock option is exercised as to some or all of the shares covered by the Award, the related Tandem SAR, if any, shall be cancelled automatically to the extent of the number of shares covered by the stock option exercise. Upon exercise of a Tandem SAR as to some or all of the shares covered by the Award, the related stock option shall be cancelled automatically to the extent of the number of shares covered by such exercise, and such shares shall again be eligible for grant in accordance with paragraph 5 hereof, except to the extent any shares of Common Stock are issued to settle the SAR. 

(c) 

Terms and Conditions of Freestanding SARS. Freestanding SARs shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times as may be determined by the Committee and designated in the Award Notice. The exercise price of a Freestanding SAR shall also be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that such price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the Freestanding SAR's grant. 

(d) 

Deemed Exercise. The Committee may provide that an SAR shall be deemed to be exercised at the close of business on the scheduled expiration date of such SAR, if at such time the SAR by its terms remains exercisable and, if exercised, would result in a payment to the holder of such SAR. 

(e) 

Additional Terms and Conditions. The Committee may, by way of the Award Notice or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of any SAR Award, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a SAR shall not be entitled to receive or accrue dividends or dividend equivalents.

10.

Stock Awards 

(a) 

Grants. Awards may be granted in the form of Stock Awards. Stock Awards may consist of grants of Common Stock or Common Stock derivatives, and may be granted either for consideration or for no consideration, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Stock Awards shall be awarded in such numbers and at such time during the term of the Plan as the Committee shall determine. 

(b) 

Terms and Conditions of Awards. Stock Awards shall be subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, as the Committee deems appropriate including, but not by way of limitation, restrictions on transferability and continued employment. The Committee may modify or accelerate the delivery of a Stock Award under such circumstances as 

6

it deems appropriate, unless the Stock Award is subject to the provisions of paragraph 13 or the Stock Award is subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. 

(c) 

Rights as Shareholders. During the period in which any restricted shares of Common Stock are subject to the restrictions imposed under paragraph 10(b), the Committee may, in its discretion, grant to the Participant to whom such restricted shares have been awarded all or any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares, including, but not by way of limitation, the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends. 

(d) 

Evidence of Award. Any Stock Award granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. 

11.

Performance Units 

(a) 

Grants. Awards may be granted in the form of performance units. Performance units, as that term is used in this Plan, shall refer to Units valued by reference to designated criteria established by the Committee, other than Common Stock. 

(b) 

Performance Criteria. Performance units shall be contingent on the attainment during a performance period of certain performance objectives. The length of the performance period, the performance objectives to be achieved during the performance period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such objectives have been attained shall be conclusively determined by the Committee in the exercise of its absolute discretion. Subject to the requirements of paragraph 13, if applicable, performance objectives may be revised by the Committee, at such times as it deems appropriate during the performance period, in order to take into consideration any unforeseen events or changes in circumstances. 

(c) 

Additional Terms and Conditions. The Committee may, by way of the Award Notice or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of performance units, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan. 

12.

Performance Shares 

(a) 

Grants. Awards may be granted in the form of performance shares. Performance shares, as that term is used in this Plan, shall refer to shares of Common Stock or Units which are expressed in terms of Common Stock. 

(b) 

Performance Criteria. Performance shares shall be contingent upon the attainment during a performance period of certain performance objectives. The length of the performance period, the performance objectives to be achieved during the performance period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such objectives have been attained shall be conclusively determined by the Committee in the exercise of its absolute discretion. Subject to the requirements of paragraph 13, if applicable, performance objectives may be revised by the Committee, at such times as it deems appropriate during the performance period, in order to take into consideration any unforeseen events or changes in circumstances. 

(c) 

Additional Terms and Conditions. The Committee may, by way of the Award Notice or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of performance shares, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan.

13.

Provisions Applicable to Section 162(m) Participants 

(a) 

Designation of Participants and Goals. Within 90 days after the start of each fiscal year (or by such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing: (i) designate the Participants for whom the grant of Stock Awards, performance units, or performance shares (and the entitlement to dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to such Awards, if any), shall be subject to this paragraph 13; (ii) select the performance goal or goals applicable to the fiscal year or years included within any performance period; (iii) establish the number or amount of Stock Awards, performance units and performance shares which may be earned for such year or such years within a performance period by each such Participant; (iv) specify the relationship between performance goals and the amount or number of Stock Awards, performance units or performance shares to be earned by each such Participant for such year or period and (v) the method for computing the amount or number of Stock Awards, performance units or performance shares payable if the performance goals are attained. 

The Committee may specify that the amount or number of Stock Awards, performance units and performance shares (and the entitlement to dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to such Awards, if any) will be earned if the applicable target is achieved for one goal or for any one of a number of goals for a fiscal year or years within a performance period. The Committee may also provide that the amount or number of Stock Awards, performance units and performance shares to be earned for a given fiscal year or years within a performance period will vary based upon different levels of achievement of the applicable performance targets. 

(b) 

Performance Criteria. For purposes of this paragraph 13, performance goals shall be limited to one or more of the following: (i) future economic value per share of Common Stock, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) return on average common equity, (iv) pre-tax income, (v) pre-tax operating income, (vi) net revenue, (vii) net income, (viii) profits before taxes, (ix) book value per share, (x) stock price and (xi) earnings available to common stockholders. 

(c) 

Annual Payment. Following the completion of each fiscal year or completion of a performance period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable performance goals have been achieved for such year or performance period and the amount or number of Stock Awards, performance shares or performance units, if any, payable to a Participant for such fiscal year or performance period. The amounts due to a Participant to whom this paragraph 13 applies will be paid following the end of the applicable fiscal year or performance period after such certification by the Committee. In determining the amount due to a Participant to whom this paragraph applies for a given fiscal year or performance period, the Committee shall have the right to reduce (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the year. 

(d) 

Restrictions. Anything in this paragraph 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum annual amount that may be paid to a Participant under the Plan for (i) the fiscal year in which the Plan is approved by the Stockholders of the Company shall equal no more than $2,000,000 and (ii) each subsequent fiscal year shall equal 110 percent of such maximum amount for the preceding fiscal year; provided that the maximum annual amount determined 

8

under this paragraph 13 shall be determined without regard to the value of any stock options granted to a Participant under the Plan. 

(e) 

Adjustment for Non-Recurring Items, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company's financial performance is affected by any event that is of a non-recurring nature, the Committee in its sole discretion may make such adjustments in the financial criteria as it shall determine to be equitable and appropriate in order to make the calculations of Awards, as nearly as may be practicable, equivalent to the calculation that would have been made without regard to such event; provided, however, in the case of a Participant subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, in no event may such discretion be exercised in a manner that would increase the amount payable with respect to an outstanding Award upon attainment of the applicable performance goals.  In the event of a significant change of the business or assets of the Company under circumstances involving an acquisition or a merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the Committee shall, in good faith, recommend to the Board for approval such revisions to the financial criteria and the other terms and conditions used in calculating Awards for the then current Plan Year as it reasonably deems appropriate in light of any such change. The exercise of any such discretion shall in all events be made in a manner that does not affect the status of an Award as qualified performance based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. 

(f) 

Repeal of Section 162(m). Without further action by the Board, the provisions of this paragraph 13 shall cease to apply on the effective date of the repeal of Section 162(m) of the Code (and any successor provision thereto). 

14.

Loans

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may authorize the making of loans or cash payments to Participants in connection with any Award under the Plan, the exercise of a stock option or the payment of consideration in connection with a Stock Award, which loan may be secured by any security, including Common Stock or Common Stock derivatives, underlying or related to such Award or payment (provided that such loan shall not exceed the fair market value of the security subject to such Award or so purchased), and which may be forgiven upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish at the time of such loans or at any time thereafter, including the attainment of a performance goal or goals pursuant to paragraph 13.  Any loans authorized by the Committee shall be made and administered in a manner that is consistent with (and does not violate) the provisions of Section 409A of the Code (to the extent applicable).

15.

Payment of Awards

At the discretion of the Committee, payment of Awards may be made in cash, Common Stock, Common Stock derivatives, a combination of any of the foregoing, or any other form of property as the Committee shall determine; provided that, unless otherwise expressly stated in the Award Notice for a specific Award and other than payments for partial shares of Common Stock, all Awards that are stock options, stock settled SARs, Stock Awards (including restricted shares of Common Stock) and performance units or performance shares payable in shares of Common Stock shall be paid in shares of Common Stock or Common Stock derivatives and not cash or any other form of property. In addition, payment of Awards may include such terms, 

9

conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, as the Committee deems appropriate, including, in the case of Awards paid in the form of Common Stock, restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions. Further, payment of Awards may be made in the form of a lump sum or installments, as determined by the Committee.  To the extent that an Award constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code (e.g., because the Award or any portion thereof is payable, transferrable or distributable more than two and one-half months after the close of the calendar year in which the Participant's rights vest), then such payment, distribution or transfer shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Award Notice shall contain provisions that comply with the distribution restrictions contained in Section 409A of the Code (including, in the case of a specified employee, the requirement that any payment made on account of the Participant’s separation from service shall not be made earlier than the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service, or if earlier the date of death of the Participant).  Any payment that is delayed in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall be made on the first business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period.  The terms “specified employee” and “separation from service” shall have the meaning assigned to such terms under Section 409A of the Code.

16.

Termination of Employment

If a Participant's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for a reason other than death, disability, retirement, or any approved reason, all unexercised, unearned, and/or unpaid Awards, including, but not by way of limitation, Awards earned, but not yet paid, all unpaid dividends and dividend equivalents, and all interest accrued on the foregoing shall be cancelled or forfeited, as the case may be, unless the Participant's Award Notice provides otherwise. The Committee shall have the authority to promulgate rules and regulations to (i) determine what events constitute disability, retirement, or termination for an approved reason for purposes of the Plan, and (ii) determine the treatment of a Participant under the Plan in the event of his death, disability, retirement, or termination for an approved reason. To the extent applicable, such rules and regulations shall conform to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent that an incentive stock option is not treated as a nonqualified stock option by the Committee or under the terms of the Plan, an incentive stock option may not be exercisable more than 90 days after the date the Participant terminates employment for any reason; provided, however, that if the Participant terminates employment because of a disability, the incentive stock option may not be exercised more than one year after the date of such termination.  For Participants covered under paragraph 13, with respect to an Award relating to performance periods beginning after January 1, 2009, if a Participant's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for a reason other than death or disability, only Awards with respect to which the required performance goals have been attained and certified in accordance with the Award Notice are eligible for payment under this paragraph 16, subject to the otherwise applicable terms of the Plan and the Award Notice.   

17.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

If an Award is granted in the form of a Stock Award, performance share, or any other stock-based grant (other than a stock option or SAR), the Committee may choose, at the time of the grant of the Award or any time thereafter up to the time of the Award’s payment (and subject 

10

to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable to the Award), to include as part of such Award an entitlement to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, as the Committee may establish. Dividends and dividend equivalents shall be paid to the Participant if and when, and to the extent that, payment is made pursuant to such Award. Dividends or dividend equivalents may, at the Committee's discretion, accrue interest, be reinvested into additional shares of Common Stock or, in the case of dividends or dividend equivalents credited in connection with performance shares, be credited as additional performance shares.

Nonassignability

Unless the Committee determines otherwise, no stock options, SARs, performance shares or other derivative securities (as defined in the rules and regulations promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act) awarded under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance, except for transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that the Committee may, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall specify, permit the transfer of an Award to a Participant's family members or to one or more trusts established in whole or in part for the benefit of one or more of such family members; provided, further, that the restrictions in this sentence shall not apply to the shares of Common Stock received in connection with an Award after the date that the restrictions on transferability of such shares set forth in the applicable Award Notice have lapsed. During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option, SAR, or similar-type other award shall be exercisable only by him or by the family member or trust to whom such Option, SAR, or other Award has been transferred in accordance with the previous sentence. 

19.

Adjustment of Shares Available 

If there is any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through the declaration of stock dividends, stock splits or the like, the number of shares available for Awards, the shares subject to any Award and the option prices or exercise prices of Awards shall be automatically adjusted. If there is any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through any change in the capital account of the Company, or through any other transaction referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan and any adjustments and/or modifications to outstanding Awards as it deems appropriate. In the event of any other change in the capital structure or in the Common Stock of the Company, the Committee shall also be authorized to make such appropriate adjustments in the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan and any adjustments and/or modifications to outstanding Awards as it deems appropriate. 

20.

Withholding Taxes 

The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment or may require the Participant to pay to it such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment. In accordance with any 

11

applicable administrative guidelines it establishes, the Committee may allow a Participant to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from an Award by withholding from any payment of Common Stock due as a result of such Award, or by permitting the Participant to deliver to the Company, shares of Common Stock, having a fair market value, as determined by the Committee, equal to the amount of such required withholding taxes; provided that if the Participant is a director or officer who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the withholding of shares of Common Stock must be made in compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. 

21.

Noncompetition Provision 

Unless the Award Notice specifies otherwise, a Participant shall forfeit all unexercised, unearned, and/or unpaid Awards, including, but not by way of limitation, Awards earned but not yet paid, the right to all dividends and dividend equivalents, and all interest, if any, accrued on the foregoing if, (i) in the opinion of the Committee, the Participant, without the written consent of the Company, engages directly or indirectly in any manner or capacity as principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, or otherwise, in any business or activity competitive with the business conducted by the Company or any Subsidiary; or (ii) the Participant performs any act or engages in any activity which in the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is inimical to the best interests of the Company. In addition, the Committee may, in its discretion, condition the grant, exercise, payment or deferral of any Award made under the Plan, or the right to any dividends and dividend equivalents, on a Participant's compliance with the terms of this paragraph 21 and any other terms specified by the Committee in the Award Notice, and cause such a Participant to forfeit any payment which is deferred or to grant to the Company the right to obtain equitable relief if the Participant fails to comply with the terms hereof. 

22.

Amendments to Awards 

Subject to the requirements of paragraph 13, the Committee may at any time unilaterally amend any unexercised, unearned, or unpaid Award, including, but not by way of limitation, Awards earned but not yet paid, to the extent it deems appropriate; provided, however, that any such amendment which, in the opinion of the Committee, is adverse to the Participant shall require the Participant's consent (unless such amendment is necessary or advisable, in the opinion of the Committee, to conform to or maintain compliance with any and all applicable statutes, regulations and rules). 

23.

Compliance with Law 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates of Common Stock evidencing Stock Awards or any other Award resulting in the payment of Common Stock prior to (a) the obtaining of any approval from, or satisfaction of any waiting period or other condition imposed by, any governmental agency which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, (b) the admission of such shares to listing on the stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed, and (c) the completion of any registration or other qualification of said shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable. With respect to 

12

persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that the Plan and all transactions under the Plan comply with all applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3, as the Rule may be amended or replaced, under the Exchange Act. 

24.

No Right to Continued Employment or Grants 

Participation in the Plan shall not give any Key Employee any right to remain in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company or, in the case of employment with a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary, reserves the right to terminate any Key Employee at any time. Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Key Employee or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award. 

25.

Amendment 

The Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. In addition, the Committee may, from time to time, amend the Plan in any manner, but may not without Board and shareholder approval adopt any amendment which would (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (b) materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan (except as specified in paragraph 19), or (c) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan; and provided further that the Committee shall not amend the Plan without the approval of the Board or the shareholders if such approval is required by Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, in each case as such provisions may be amended from time to time. 

26.

Governing Law 

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland except as superseded by applicable Federal Law. 

27.

Code Section 409A

To the extent that Section 409A of the Code applies to any election or payment, distribution or transfer made in connection with an Award, then such election, payment, distribution or transfer made shall be made in conformance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and if the provisions of any such Award are subject to more than one interpretation or construction, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of that interpretation or construction which is consistent with the Award complying with the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code (including, but not limited to the restrictions applicable to specified employees with respect to any payment, distribution or transfer made on account of a Participant’ separation from service).
