COLUMBIA SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION 1989 DEFERRED COMPENSATION INVESTMENT ACCOUNT PLAN 1. Purpose. This 1989 Deferred Compensation Investment Account Plan (the "Plan") is intended to provide incent ives, in the form of deferred compensation, which will attract, motivate and retain executives of the highest caliber for Columbia Savings and Loan Association and its subsidiaries (together, the "Association"). Under the Plan, all or a portion of a participant's annual bonus with respect to each calendar year (and, in certain circumstances, other deferred c ompensation entitlements) shall be deferred and allocated to Plan accounts. Those deferred amounts shall then be deemed, for purposes of t he Plan only, to represent specified percentages of the Association's investments in certain portfolios of equity securit ies. Eventual distributions to participants from the Plan shall be dependent, in part, on the performance of the equity securities included in those portfolios. Thus, while all of the equity securities will be owned throughout by the Association alone, the appreciation or depreciation of the participants' deferred amounts will be substantially dependent upon the performance of the included equity securities. In addition, distributions shall be dependent in part upon each participant's length of service t o the Association, so that the Plan will provide an incentive to participants to continue to offer and provide their services to the Association. The Plan is intended to replace the Association's Incentive Investment Plan (the "Prior Plan"). 2. Certain Definitions.

In addition, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, on the Maturi ty Date of each Portfolio (or, if Section 2.3 applies, the Terminated Participant Payment Date), each Participant whose employment with the Association was terminated prior to the Maturity Date of that Portfolio other than as a result of de ath or Permanent Disability shall become entitled to receive (i) the amount of such Participant's Unvested Account on the dat e of termination of employment plus Interest, if any, on such amount from such date through the Maturity Date (or, if Section 2.3 applies, the Deemed Maturity Date), plus (ii) an amount in respect of all Underlying Securities which are Liquidate d after the date of such termination but prior to the Maturity Date of the Portfolio which is equal to (A) the Liquidated Value of each such Underlying Security, multiplied by (B) the Participant's Percentage Interest, such result in turn multipli ed by (C) the Vested Percentage Factor, plus Interest, if any, on such amount from the date of Liquidation of such Underlying Security through the Maturity Date (or, if Section 2.3 applies, the deemed Maturity Date).

Any amounts rolled over pursuant to this Section 6 shall be allocated equally to the Short-Term Portfolio and the Long-Term Portfolio established at the applicable Determination Meeting. 7. Plan Effectiveness and Termination. 7.1 Shareholder Approval. This Plan shall not take effect until approved by the Board of Directors of the Association and by the shareholders of the Association at their annual meeting to be held in calendar year 1989. Any Portfolios established prior to the approval of the Plan by the shareholders shall be deemed subject to such approval. 7.2 Termination as a Result of Regulatory Capital Deficiency. If, at the end of any fiscal quarter of the Association, the Association's "regulatory capital" (as determined by regulatory accounting princ iples of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board or a successor agency ("FHLBB"') then in effect) is less than 95% of the minimum level required by any FHLBB regulation, then no further Portfolios shall be established and the Board of Directors of the Association may in its discretion take such steps as shall be necessary to termina te the Plan. Upon such termination, (i) each Participant in each Portfolio which was in existence immediately prior to such determination whose Vested Percentage Factor was greater than 40% shall be deemed to have a Vested Percent age of 100% and (ii) each Underlying Security in each such Portfolio shall be deemed to have been Liquidated.
