LATAH BANCORPORATION, INC., a Washington corporation (the “Company”),
hereby establishes and sets forth the terms of the 1999 EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN (the “Plan”), dated December 10, 1999.
ARTICLE I
Purpose of Plan
The purpose of this Plan is to provide participating employees an incentive to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company. The Plan seeks to accomplish this
purpose by giving such employees an opportunity to gain a proprietary interest in the Company in the form of stock options. Holders of the options are allowed to acquire stock of the Company on favorable terms. An option granted hereunder shall be
referred to herein as an “Incentive Stock Option”, and all such options granted hereunder are intended to constitute an “incentive stock option”‘ as such term is defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended from time to time (the “Code”).
ARTICLE II
Administration of the Plan
2.1 This Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) unless a committee of the Board is appointed in accordance with this Section 2. The Board, or such
committee, if appointed, will be referred to in this Plan as the “Administrative Committee.”
2.2 The Board may at any time appoint a committee, consisting of not less than two (unless there shall be fewer than two Directors) of its members, to administer this Plan on behalf of the Board in accordance
with such terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as the Board may prescribe. The committee, after it is appointed, shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by the Board. The Board may appoint additional members to the
Committee, remove members (with or without cause), fill vacancies however caused, and/or remove all members of the committee and thereafter directly administer this Plan.
2.3 A majority of the members of the Administrative Committee shall constitute a quorum, and, subject to the limitations of this Section 2, all
actions of the Administrative Committee shall require the affirmative vote of members who constitute a majority of a quorum. Members of the Administrative Committee may vote on any matters affecting the administration of, or the grant of Incentive
Stock Options under the Plan provided, however, that no member (unless there shall be only one member) shall vote on the granting of an Incentive Stock Option to himself or herself (but a member may be counted in determining the existence of a
quorum at a. meeting of’ the Administrative Committee during which action is taken with respect to the granting of such an Incentive Stock Option).
2.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, if the Company registers any class of any equity security pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act
of’ 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), this Plan shall, from the effective date of registration until six months after the termination of thereof, be administered in a manner that satisfies the conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act
(including any amendments thereof and any successor provision similar hereto) so that the grant of Incentive Stock Options under this Plan, and all other actions taken with respect to the Plan, to the options granted thereunder’ and to the
Common Stock acquired upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options, shall, to the extent possible, be exempt from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration of this Plan; (v) to determine the duration and purposes of leaves of absence which may be granted to participants without constituting a termination of employment for purposes of this
Plan; and (vi) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administration of this Plan.
(b) The authority of the Administrative Committee to administer the Plan shall be exercised consistently with the intent that the Incentive Stock Options issued under this Plan qualify under Section 422 of the
Code (including any amendments thereof or successor provision similar thereto).

Section 10.1 above (any of such events is herein referred to as a “Terminating Event”), the Administrative Committee shall determine whether provision will be made in connection with the Terminating Event for an appropriate assumption of
the Incentive Stock Options theretofore granted under this Plan (which assumption may be effected by means of a payment to each Optionee (by the Company or any other person or entity involved in the Terminating Event), in cancellation of the
Incentive Stock Options held by him or her, of the difference between the then fair market value of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the Incentive Stock Options and the aggregate exercise price that would have to be
paid to acquire such shares) or for substitution of appropriate new options covering stock a successor corporation to. the Company or stock of an Affiliate of such successor corporation. If the Administrative Committee determines that such an
appropriate assumption or substitution will be made, it shall give notice of such determination to Optionees under this Plan, and the provisions of such assumption or substitution, amid any adjustments made, (i) to the number and kind of shares

ARTICLE XI
Right of Repurchase
11.1 If so specified by the Administrative
Committee in accordance with Section 5.1(f) above, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase from an Optionee (or his or her Qualified Successor) all or part of the shares of Common Stock acquired by the optionee (or
his or her Qualified Successor) upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder. Such right shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time during the period
7
commencing on the date of termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever (including the
Optionee’s demise or Disability) and continuing for a period of six (6) months thereafter. Such right shall apply to all shares acquired by such Optionee (or his or her Qualified Successor) upon exercise of incentive Stock Options granted
hereunder, regardless of whether acquired before or after the termination of employment. The Company’s right of repurchase under this Section 11 shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of written notice of such exercise to the Optionee or his
or her Qualified Successor, specifying the number of shares to be repurchased and the effective date of such repurchase, which date shall not be earlier than the date of such notice no later than the date of termination of the Company’s right
of repurchase. With respect to each share to be repurchased, the repurchase price shall be the fair market value of such share as of the effective date of such repurchase except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2. Such fair market value shall be
determined in good faith by the Administrative Committee, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee (and his or her Qualified Successor).

number of shares of Common Stock in excess of’ the product of the Applicable Percentage, as set forth in the table below, times the total number of shares subject to the Incentive Stock Option at the Date of Grant (the “Excess
Shares”), then the Company may repurchase such Excess Shares at the Option Price. The Applicable Percentage shall be based on the time elapsed between (i) the date the Optionee is hired, or such other date as may he specified by the
Administrative Committee at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted to the Optionee, (the “Computation Date”), and (b) the date on which the employment of optionee terminates, as fellows:
| Time Elapsed Since Computation Date |
Applicable Percentage | |
| Less than one (1) year |
0% | |
| At least one (1) but less than two (2) years |
20% | |
| At least two (2) but less than three (3) years |
40% | |
| At least three (3) but less than four (4) years |
60% | |
| At least four (4) but less than five (5) years |
80% |
In the event the Company exercises its right under Section 11.1 to
repurchase less than all the shares held by the Optionee, the shares repurchased shall be deemed to be Excess Shares, to the extent thereof.
11.3 Any right of repurchase of the Company, under this Section 11 shall terminate upon the occurrence of a Terminating Event in connection with which the Administrative
Committee determines, pursuant to Section 10.2, that no assumption of or substitution for Incentive Stock Options will be made.
