		6.5	Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion that a
benefit is to be distributed to a minor, to a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition
of that person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct distribution of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative
or person having the care or custody of such individual. The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or
guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution
for the account of the Employee and the Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall completely discharge any liability under this
Agreement for such distribution amount.

event permitted under Article 4 or Article 5.

 

		10.3	Plan Terminations Under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
10.2, if the Bank terminates this Agreement in the following circumstances:

 

		(a)	Within thirty (30) days before or twelve (12) months
after a Change in Control, provided that all distributions are made no later than twelve (12) months following such termination
of this Agreement and further provided that all the Bank's arrangements which are substantially similar to this Agreement
are terminated so the Employee and all participants in the similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts
of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of such termination;

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		(b)	Upon the Bank’s dissolution or with the approval of a bankruptcy court provided that the
amounts deferred under this Agreement are included in the Employee's gross income in the latest of (i) the calendar year in which
this Agreement terminates; (ii) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;
or (iii) the first calendar year in which the distribution is administratively practical; or

 

		(c)	Upon the Bank’s termination of this and all other arrangements that would be aggregated with
this Agreement pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(c) if the Employee participated in such arrangements (“Similar
Arrangements”), provided that (i) the termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial
health of the Bank, (ii) all termination distributions are made no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than twenty-four
(24) months following such termination, and (iii) the Bank does not adopt any new arrangement that would be a Similar Arrangement
for a minimum of three (3) years following the date the Bank takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate
the Agreement;

 

the Bank may distribute the Deferral
Account balance, determined as of the date of the termination of this Agreement, to the Employee in a lump sum subject to the above
terms.

		11.1	Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Employee and the Bank and their beneficiaries,
survivors, executors, administrators and transferees.

		11.3	Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

 

		11.4	Tax Withholding and Reporting. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required to be

the State of Oregon, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		11.6	Unfunded Arrangement. The Employee and the Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of
the Bank for the distribution of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to distribute
such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Employee's life or other informal funding asset is a

		11.7	Reorganization. The Bank shall not merge or consolidate into or with another bank, or reorganize,
or sell substantially all of its assets to another bank, firm or person unless such succeeding or continuing bank, firm or person

		11.10	Alternative Action. In the event it shall become impossible for the Bank or the Plan Administrator
to perform any act required by this Agreement due to regulatory or other constraints, the Bank or Plan Administrator may perform
such alternative act as most nearly carries out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and is in the best interests of the Bank,
provided that such alternative act does not violate Code Section 409A.

 

		11.11	Headings. Article and section headings are for convenient reference only and shall not control
or affect the meaning or construction of any provision herein.

 

		11.12	Validity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or invalid for any reason,
said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as
if such illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.

 

		11.13	Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Bank or Plan Administrator
under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered or sent by registered or certified mail to the address
below:

 

	1125 NW Bond Street
	Bend, OR  97701
	 

 

Such notice shall be deemed given
as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration
or certification.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

Any notice or filing required
or permitted to be given to the Employee under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered or sent by mail
to the last known address of the Employee.

 

		11.14	Deduction Limitation on Benefit Payments. If the Bank reasonably anticipates that the Bank’s
deduction with respect to any distribution under this Agreement would be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m),
then to the extent deemed necessary by the Bank to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution from this Agreement is deductible,
the Bank may delay payment of any amount that would otherwise be distributed under this Agreement. The delayed amounts shall be
distributed to the Employee (or the Beneficiary in the event of the Employee's death) at the earliest date the Bank reasonably
anticipates that the deduction of the payment of the amount will not be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m).

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the Employee and a duly authorized representative of the Bank have signed this Agreement.

BANK OF THE CASCADES

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

FOR GREGORY D. NEWTON

 

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT
(the “Amendment”) is adopted this 30th day of December, 2011, by and between Bank of the Cascades, (the “Bank”)
and Gregory D. Newton (the “Executive”).

 

The Bank and the Executive
entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan dated March 20, 2008 (the “Agreement”). The Bank and the Executive
now wish to add Domestic Relations Order provisions to the Agreement.

 

Now, therefore, the
Bank and the Executive amend the Agreement as follows.

 

The following Section
1.8A shall be added to the Agreement immediately following Section 1.8:

 

		1.8A	“Domestic Relations Order” means any judgment, decree, or order (including approval
of a property settlement agreement) which (i) relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments, or marital property
rights to a spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent of the Participant, (ii) is made pursuant to a state domestic relations
law (including a community property law) and (iii) meets the requirements of Code Section 414(p)(1)(B).

 

The following Section
2.9 shall be added to the Agreement immediately following Section 2.8:

 

		2.9	Domestic Relations Orders. The Bank shall fulfill any Domestic Relations Order which the
Executive presents to the Plan Administrator. The maximum amount which may be paid out pursuant to this Section 4.11 is the Account
Value as of the day a Domestic Relations Order is presented. At the time the Bank fulfills a Domestic Relations Order, the Account
Value shall be reduced by the amount paid to fulfill the Domestic Relations Order and the benefits to be paid under Sections 2.1,
2.2, 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 or Article 3 hereof shall reflect such reduced amount.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the Executive and a duly authorized representative of the Bank have signed this Amendment.
