 Second
Amendment to the First State Bancorporation Deferred Compensation PlanExecutive Compensation Plan of Heritage Bank

 EXHIBIT 10.22 
 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 
 OF 
 HERITAGE BANK 
 HERITAGE BANK, a
Colorado corporation, (the “Bank”) hereby adopts the Heritage Bank Executive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of the 1st day of January, 2006 (the “Effective Date”). The Bank intends to provide, under this
Plan, certain of its key management employees with benefits upon retirement, death, disability or other termination of employment, for the purpose of promoting in its key management employees the strongest interest in the successful operation of the
Bank and to induce such employees to remain in the employ of the Bank. This Plan includes participants by reason of merger of the Heritage Bank Indexed Salary Continuation Plan, effective as of the 1st day of July, 1998, (the “Index Plan”)
into this Plan effective as of the 1st day of January, 2006. The participants under the Index Plan shall be Participants in this Plan and shall receive the benefits provided herein. 
 ARTICLE I 
 Definitions 
 1.01 Administrative Committee shall mean the committee appointed pursuant to Article VI of the Plan. 
 1.02 Adoption Agreement shall mean an application for participation in the Plan, execution of which by an eligible employee is required under
Article II for Plan participation. 
 1.03 Beneficiary shall mean any person, persons or entities designated by a Participant to
receive benefits hereunder upon the death of such Participant. 
 1.04 Change in Control Event shall collectively mean:
(1) Change of Ownership of 

 
Company as defined in Section 1.04A, below; (2) Change in Effective Control of Company as defined in Section 1.04B, below; and (3) Change
in the Ownership of a Substantial portion of Company’s Assets, as defined in Section 1.04C, below. 
 1.04A Change of
Ownership shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined below) acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than
fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. However, if any one person or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the fair
market value or total voting power of the stock of Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in ownership of the Company or cause a Change in Effective Control of Company within
the meaning of Section 1.04B, below; An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as
an acquisition of stock for purposes of this Section l.04A. These provisions apply only when there is a transfer of stock of Company (or issuance of stock of the Company) and such stock in Company remains outstanding after the transaction. For
purposes of this Section l.04A, “persons acting as a group” will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of Company at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering. However, persons
will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. If a person, including an entity, owns stock
in both corporations (including Company) that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other 

  

 -2- 

 
shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. For
purposes of determining stock ownership, the provisions of Section 318(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) apply to determine stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the
individual who owns the vested option and stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option. 
 1.04B Change in Effective Control shall mean: (1) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined under Section l.04A, above) acquires (or has acquired during the twelve
(12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of Company possessing thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of Company; or (2) a majority
of the members of the Board of Directors of Company are replaced during any twelve (12) month period by, directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Company prior to the date
of the appointment or election. A Change in Effective Control may also occur in any transaction in which either Company and another corporation involved in the transaction has a Change of Ownership or Change of Ownership of a substantial portion of
Company’s assets. If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group is considered to effectively control Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a Change
in the Effective Control of Company. 
 1.04C Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of Company’s Assets shall occur on the
date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in Section 1.04A, above) acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or
persons) assets from Company that have a total gross 

  

 -3- 

 
fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior
to such acquisition or acquisitions. For purposes of this section, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such
assets. There is no Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of Company’s Assets when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring company immediately after the transfer, as provided herein. A
transfer of assets by Company is not treated as a Change of Ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to: (1) a shareholder of Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;
(2) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly, or indirectly, by Company; (3) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty
percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all of the outstanding stock of Company; or (4) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a
person described in the preceding clause (3). For purposes of this section, a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of the assets. 
 1.05 Disability shall mean a Participant shall be considered disabled if: (1) such Participant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or
mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months; or (2) if such Participant is, by reason of any medical determinable physical or mental
impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an
accident and health plan covering employees of Company.

performance of his or her duties and responsibilities if such breach has not been cured by such Participant within thirty (30) days after notice has been given to Participant; and 
 (d) Any Federal or state statutes or regulations which require Bank, upon direction of the appropriate regulatory agency, to prohibit employment of a
Participant in the business of banking or to require Bank to file a suspicious activities report because such Participant has been convicted of or suspected of a crime involving fraud, dishonesty, moral turpitude or breach of trust; 
 A Participant shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless Bank shall have given Participant a written notice setting forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide the basis for termination for Cause; a reasonable opportunity for Participant, together with his or her counsel, to be heard before the Administrative Committee of the Plan; and a notice of
termination stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Administrative Committee, the Participant was guilty of conduct set forth in the written notice.

to create a trust of any kind for the benefit of the Participants or create any fiduciary relationship between the Bank and the Participants or their Beneficiaries. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive benefits under this Plan,

Participant shall file with the Bank a designation of beneficiary and contingent beneficiary to whom the Participant’s interest under the Plan shall be paid in the event of his or her death. The initial designation of beneficiary shall be made
on the form attached to the Participant’s Adoption Agreement. Such designation may be changed by the Participant at any time and without the consent of any previously designated Beneficiary. In the absence of an effective Beneficiary
designation as to any portion of a Participant’s interest under the Plan, such amount shall be paid to the Participant’s personal representative, but if the Bank believes that none has been appointed within six months after the
