WHEREAS, the Executive is expected to make major contributions to the profitability, growth, and financial prospects of Service1st Bank,

WHEREAS, Service1st Bank desires to assure itself of the continuity of management if a Change in Control occurs, and to ensure that officers and other key employees are not practically disabled from discharging their duties if a proposed or actual transaction involving a Change in Control arises,

WHEREAS, Service1st Bank and the Executive desire to set forth in this Employment Agreement the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment, and

WHEREAS, none of the conditions or events included in the definition of the term “golden parachute payment” that is set forth in section 18(k)(4)(A)(ii) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1828(k)(4)(A)(ii)] and in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Rule 359.1(f)(l)(ii) [12 CFR 359.1(f)(1)(ii)] exists or, to the best knowledge of Service1st Bank, is contemplated insofar as Service1st Bank or any affiliates are concerned,

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows.

ARTICLE 1

EMPLOYMENT

1.1 Employment. Service1st Bank hereby employs the Executive to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer according to the terms and conditions of this Employment Agreement and for the period stated in section 1.3. The Executive hereby accepts employment according to the terms and conditions of this Employment Agreement and for the period stated in section 1.3.

1.2 Duties. As Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the Executive shall serve under the direction of Service1st Bank’s Chief Executive Officer and in accordance with Service1st Bank’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as each may be amended or restated from time to time. The Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. The Executive shall serve Service1st Bank faithfully, diligently, competently, and to the best of the Executive’s ability. The Executive shall exclusively devote full time, energy, and attention

to the business of Service1st Bank and to the promotion of Service1st Bank’s interests throughout the term of this Employment Agreement. Without the written consent of Service1st Bank’s board of directors, the Executive shall not render services to or for any person, firm, corporation, or other entity or organization in exchange for compensation, regardless of the form in which such compensation is paid and regardless of whether it is paid directly or indirectly to the Executive. Nothing in this section 1.2 shall prevent the Executive from managing the Executive’s personal investments and affairs, provided that doing so does not interfere with the proper performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Employment Agreement.

1.3 Term. The initial term of this Employment Agreement shall be for a period of three years, beginning on January 16, 2007, the date that Service1st Bank commenced business as an insured commercial bank. On the first anniversary of January 16, 2007, and annually thereafter, this Employment Agreement shall be extended automatically for one additional year unless Service1st Bank’s board of directors determines that the term shall not be extended. If the board of directors determines not to extend the term, it shall notify the Executive in writing at least 12 months in advance. If the board decides not to extend the term, this Employment Agreement shall nevertheless remain in force until its term expires. The board’s decision not to extend the term of this Employment Agreement shall not — by itself — give the Executive any rights under this Employment Agreement to claim an adverse change in position, compensation, or circumstances or otherwise to claim entitlement to severance benefits under Articles 4 or 5 of this Employment Agreement. References herein to the term of this Employment Agreement shall refer to the initial term, as the same may be extended.

ARTICLE 2

ARTICLE 4

SEVERANCE COMPENSATION

4.1 Cash Severance after Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason. (a) Subject to the possibility that cash severance after employment termination might be delayed under section 4.1(b), if the Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily but without Cause or if the Executive voluntarily terminates employment with Good Reason, the Executive shall for the unexpired term of this Agreement continue to receive the Base Salary in effect at employment termination. However, the Executive shall not be entitled to continued participation in Service1st Bank’s retirement plan(s) or any stock-based plans. Service1st Bank and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the compensation and benefits under this section 4.1 shall not be payable if compensation and benefits are payable or shall have been paid to the Executive under Article 5 of this Agreement.

5

(b) If when employment termination occurs the Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if the cash severance payment under section 4.1(a) would be considered deferred compensation under section 409A, and finally if an exemption from the six-month delay requirement of section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) is not available, the Executive’s continued Base Salary and bonus compensation under section 4.1(a) for the first six months after employment termination shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum without interest on the first day of the seventh month after the month in which the Executive’s employment terminates. References in this Agreement to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 include rules, regulations, and guidance of general application issued by the Department of the Treasury under Internal Revenue Code section 409A.

(c) Cash-out of value of unvested stock options. If Service1st Bank terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or if the Executive terminates employment with Good Reason before full vesting of stock options, the Executive shall be entitled to receive from Service 1st Bank an amount equal to the intrinsic value of the unvested stock options as of the effective date of termination. For this purpose, intrinsic value means the per share fair market value of Service1st Bank common stock minus the option exercise price per share. If the common stock is traded on an exchange or over the counter, fair market value shall mean the closing price on the trading day immediately before the date of termination. If the common stock is not traded on an exchange or over the counter, Service 1st Bank’s board of directors will retain the services of an independent auditor to determine the per share fair market value of Service1st Bank common stock consistent with the normal valuation methods of the company. Amounts payable under this paragraph (c) shall be paid in a single lump sum 30 days after termination of the Executive’s employment, or if paragraph (b) applies, on the first day of the seventh month after the month in which the Executive’s employment terminates.

4.2 Post-Termination Life and Medical Coverage. (a) If the Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily but without Cause, voluntarily but with Good Reason, or because of disability, Service1st Bank shall continue or cause to be continued at Service1st Bank’s expense life and medical insurance benefits in effect during the two years preceding the date of the Executive’s termination. The life and medical insurance benefits shall continue until the first to occur of (w) the Executive’s return to employment with Service1st Bank or another employer, (x) the Executive’s attainment of age 65, (y) the Executive’s death, or (z) the end of the term remaining under this Agreement when the Executive’s employment terminates.

(b) If (x) under the terms of the applicable policy or policies for the insurance benefits specified in section 4.2(a) it is not possible to continue the Executive’s coverage, or (y) when employment termination occurs the Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if any of the continued insurance coverage benefits specified in section 4.2(a) would be considered deferred compensation under section 409A, and finally if an exemption from the six-month delay requirement of section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) is not available for that particular insurance benefit, Service1st Bank shall pay to the Executive in a single lump sum an amount in cash equal to the present value of Service1st Bank’s projected cost to maintain that particular insurance benefit had the Executive’s employment not terminated, assuming continued coverage for the lesser of 24 months or the

6

number of months until the Executive attains age 65. The lump-sum payment shall be made 30 days after employment termination or, if section 4.1 (b) applies, on the first day of the seventh month after the month in which the Executive’s employment terminates.

ARTICLE 5

CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS

5.1 Change in Control Termination Benefits. (a) Cash severance benefit. If a Change in Control occurs during the term of this Employment Agreement and if the Executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause within 24 months after the Change in Control or if the Executive terminates employment with Good Reason within 24 months after the Change in Control, Service1st Bank shall make or cause to be made a lump-sum payment to the Executive in an amount in cash equal to two times the Executive’s annual compensation. For this purpose annual compensation means (x) the Executive’s Base Salary when the Change in Control occurs or when the Executive’s employment terminates, whichever is greater, plus (y) the Executive’s annual automobile allowance under section 2.2, plus (z) any cash bonuses or cash incentive compensation earned for the calendar year ended immediately before the year in which termination of employment occurs or the year in which the Change in Control occurs, whichever is greater, in either case regardless of when the bonus or incentive compensation earned for the preceding calendar year is paid and regardless of whether all or part of the bonus or incentive compensation is subject to elective deferral or vesting. The amount payable to the Executive hereunder shall not be reduced to account for the time value of money or discounted to present value. The payment required under this paragraph (a) is payable no later than five business days after the Executive’s employment terminates. If the Executive is removed from office or if the Executive’s employment terminates before a Change in Control occurs but after discussions with a third party regarding a Change in Control commence, and if those discussions ultimately conclude with a Change in Control, then for purposes of this Employment Agreement the removal of the Executive or termination of the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have occurred after the Change in Control. If the Executive receives payment under this section 5.1 the Executive shall not be entitled to any additional severance benefits under section 4.1(a) of this Employment Agreement.

(b) Benefit plans. In addition to life and medical insurance benefits under section 4.2 of this Employment Agreement, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by Service1st Bank without Cause within 24 months after a Change in Control or if the Executive terminates employment with Good Reason within 24 months after a Change in Control, Service1st Bank shall cause the Executive to become fully vested in any non-qualified plans, programs, or arrangements in which the Executive participated if the plan, program, or arrangement does not address the effect of a change in control.

5.2 Change in Control Defined. For purposes of this Agreement “Change in Control” means a change in control as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 409A and rules, regulations, and guidance of general application thereunder issued by the Department of the Treasury, including —

7

(a) Change in ownership: a change in ownership of Service1st Bank occurs on the date any one person or group accumulates ownership of Service1st Bank stock constituting more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of Service1st Bank stock,

(b) Change in effective control: (x) any one person or more than one person acting as a group acquires within a 12-month period ownership of Service1st Bank stock possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of Service1st Bank stock, or (y) a majority of Service1st Bank’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed in advance by a majority of Service1st Bank’s board of directors, or

(c) Change in ownership of a substantial portion of assets: a change in ownership of a substantial portion of Service1st Bank’s assets occurs if in a 12-month period any one person or more than one person acting as a group acquires from Service1st Bank assets having a total gross fair market value equal to or exceeding 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of Service1st Bank’s assets immediately before the acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of Service1st Bank’s assets, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with the assets.

Despite anything in this Employment Agreement to the contrary, however, a transaction in which a company becomes the holding company for Service1st Bank shall not be considered a Change in Control for purposes of this Employment Agreement, provided the offer, sale, and issuance of shares of the holding company to Service1st Bank stockholders as part of the holding company reorganization are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by section 3(a)(12) of that Act. If a holding company reorganization occurs, references in this section 5.2 to Service1st Bank shall mean the holding company instead, and after a holding company reorganization a sale of all or substantially all the holding company’s assets includes sale of Service1st Bank alone.

ARTICLE 6

CONFIDENTIALITY AND CREATIVE WORK

The Executive covenants and agrees not to reveal to any person, firm, or corporation any confidential information of any nature concerning Service1st Bank or its business, or anything connected therewith. As used in this Article 6, the term “confidential information” means all of Service1st Bank’s and its affiliates’ confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets in existence on the date hereof or existing at any time during the term of this Employment Agreement, including but not limited to —

(a) the whole or any portion or phase of any business plans, financial information, purchasing data, supplier data, accounting data, or other financial information,

(d) trade secrets, as defined from time to time by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, confidential information excludes information that — as of the date hereof or at any time after the date hereof — is published or disseminated without obligation of confidence or that becomes a part of the public domain (x) by or through action of Service1st Bank, or (y) otherwise than by or at the direction of the Executive. This section 6.1 does not prohibit disclosure required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or a subpoena from an appropriate governmental agency or disclosure made by the Executive in the ordinary course of business and within the scope of the Executive’s authority.

6.2 Return of Materials. The Executive agrees to deliver or return to Service1st Bank upon termination, upon expiration of this Employment Agreement, or as soon thereafter as possible, all written information and any other similar items furnished by Service1st Bank or prepared by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s services hereunder. The Executive will retain no copies thereof after termination of this Employment Agreement or termination of the Executive’s employment

6.3 Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to Service1st Bank if the Executive fails to observe the obligations imposed by this Article 6. Accordingly, if Service1st Bank institutes an action to enforce the provisions hereof, the Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law is available to Service1st Bank and the Executive agrees not to urge in any such action the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists.

6.4 Affiliates’ Confidential Information is Covered; Confidentiality Obligation Survives Termination. For purposes of this Employment Agreement the term “affiliate” means any entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Service1st Bank. The rights and obligations set forth in this Article 6 shall survive termination of this Employment Agreement.

6.5 Creative Work. The Executive agrees that all creative work and work product, including but not limited to all technology, business management tools, processes, software, patents, trademarks, and copyrights developed by the Executive during the term of this Employment Agreement, regardless of when or where such work or work product was produced, constitutes work made for hire, all rights of which are owned by Service1st Bank. The Executive hereby assigns to Service1st Bank all rights, title, and interest, whether by way of copyrights, trade secret, trademark, patent, or otherwise, in all such work or work product, regardless of whether the same is subject to protection by patent, trademark, or copyright laws.

ARTICLE 7

COMPETITION AFTER EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION

7.1 Covenant Not to Solicit Employees. The Executive agrees not to solicit the services of any officer or employee of the Employer for two years after the Executive’s employment termination.

7.2 Covenant Not to Compete. (a) In consideration of the benefits to be derived by the Executive under this Agreement, and for the receipt of options to purchase shares of Service1st Bank common stock, the Executive covenants and agrees that he will not, without advance written consent of the Employer, compete directly or indirectly with the Employer for two years after termination of his employment, plus any period during which the Executive is in violation of this covenant not to compete and any period during which the Employer seeks by litigation to enforce this covenant not to compete. For purposes of this section —

10

(b) If any provision of this section or any word, phrase, clause, sentence or other portion thereof (including, without limitation, the geographical and temporal restrictions contained therein) is held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the unenforceable or invalid provision or portion shall be modified or deleted so that the provisions hereof, as modified, are legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

7.3 REMEDIES. Because of the unique character of the services to be rendered by the Executive hereunder, the Executive understands that the Employer would not have an adequate remedy at law for the material breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any one or more of the Executive’s covenants set forth in this Article 7. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that Service1st Bank’s remedies for a material breach or threatened breach of this Article 7 include but are not limited to (x) forfeiture of any money representing accrued salary, contingent payments, or other fringe benefits due and payable to the Executive, (y) forfeiture of any severance benefits under sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Employment Agreement, and (z) a suit in equity by Service1st Bank to enjoin the Executive from the breach or threatened breach of such covenants. The Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law is available to the Employer and the Executive agrees not to urge in any such action the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the Employer from pursuing any other remedies for the breach or threatened breach.

7.4 ARTICLE 7 SURVIVES TERMINATION BUT IS VOID AFTER A CHANGE IN CONTROL. The rights and obligations set forth in this Article 7 shall survive termination of this Employment Agreement. However, Article 7 shall become null and void effective if a Change in Control occurs.

This Employment Agreement shall be binding upon Service1st Bank and any successor to Service1st Bank, including any persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of Service1st Bank by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or otherwise. But this Employment Agreement and Service1st Bank’s obligations under this Employment Agreement are not otherwise assignable, transferable, or delegable by Service1st Bank. By agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, Service1st Bank shall require any successor to all or substantially all of the business or assets of Service1st Bank expressly to assume and agree to perform this Employment Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent Service1st Bank would be required to perform if no such succession had occurred.

8.2 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Forum. This Employment Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada.

8.3 Entire Agreement. This Employment Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties concerning the employment of the Executive by Service1st Bank. Any oral or written statements, representations, agreements, or understandings made or entered into prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this Employment Agreement are hereby rescinded, revoked, and rendered null and void by the parties.

8.4 Notices. Any notice under this Employment Agreement shall be deemed to have been effectively made or given if in writing and personally delivered, delivered by mail properly addressed in a sealed envelope, postage prepaid by certified or registered mail, delivered by a

If there is a conflict between any provision of this Employment Agreement and any statute, regulation, or judicial precedent, the latter shall prevail, but the affected provisions of this Employment Agreement shall be curtailed and limited solely to the extent necessary to bring them within the requirements of law. If any provision of this Employment Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be indefinite, invalid, void or voidable, or otherwise unenforceable, the balance of this Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless such construction would clearly be contrary to the intentions of the parties or would result in an injustice.

8.6 Captions and Counterparts. The captions in this Employment Agreement are solely for convenience. The captions do not define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Employment Agreement This Employment Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Service1st Bank hereby acknowledges that it will be difficult and could be impossible (x) for the Executive to find reasonably comparable employment after employment termination, and (y) to measure the amount of damages the Executive may suffer as a result of termination. Additionally, Service1st Bank acknowledges that its general severance pay plans do not provide for mitigation, offset, or reduction of any severance payment received thereunder. Accordingly, Service1st Bank further acknowledges that the payment of severance and termination benefits under this Employment Agreement is reasonable and shall be liquidated damages. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Employment Agreement by seeking other employment. Moreover, the amount of any payment provided for in this Employment Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned or benefits provided as the result of employment of the Executive or as a result of the Executive being self-employed after employment termination.

This Employment Agreement may not be amended, released, discharged, abandoned, changed, or modified in any manner, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Employment Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such provision nor in any way to affect the validity of this Employment Agreement or any part thereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver or any breach of this Employment Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

8.9 Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Service1st Bank and the Executive intend that their exercise of authority or discretion under this Employment

13

Agreement shall comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If when the Executive’s employment terminates the Executive is a specified employee, as defined in section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and if any payments under this Employment Agreement will result in additional tax or interest to the Executive because of section 409A, then despite any provision of this Employment Agreement to the contrary the Executive shall not be entitled to the payments until the earliest of (x) the date that is at least six months after termination of the Executive’s employment for reasons other than the Executive’s death, (y) the date of the Executive’s death, or (z) any earlier date that does not result in additional tax or interest to the Executive under section 409A. As promptly as possible after the end of the period during which payments are delayed under this provision, the entire amount of the delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum. If any provision of this Employment Agreement does not satisfy the requirements of section 409A, the provision shall nevertheless be applied in a manner that is consistent with those requirements. If any provision of this Employment Agreement would subject the Executive to additional tax or interest under section 409A, Service1st Bank shall reform the provision. However, Service 1st Bank shall maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting the Executive to additional tax or interest, and Service1st Bank shall not be required to incur any additional compensation expense as a result of the reformed provision. References in this Employment Agreement to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 include rules, regulations, and guidance of general application issued by the Department of the Treasury under Internal Revenue Code section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Employment Agreement as of the date first written above.

Before me this 30^th day of November 2007, personally appeared the above named JOHN DEDOLPH and Patricia L. Ochal, who acknowledged that they did sign the foregoing instrument and that the same was their free act and deed.
