Box 369, Bend, Oregon 97709.
 
Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 15, the Initial Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment No. 15, remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning assigned to them in the Initial Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The Reporting Persons have acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock as described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes.

Except as set forth below, as of the date of this Amendment No. 14, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals which would result in or relate to any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

On November 16, 2010, the Company and Mr. Bolger (and certain other related persons only with respect to certain sections thereof) entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement for the purchase and sale of $25 million worth of shares of Common Stock (the “A&R Bolger Agreement”) to Mr. Bolger. The A&R Bolger Agreement was incorporated by reference as Exhibit 31 to Amendment No. 14 and is incorporated herein by reference.  The transactions contemplated by the A&R Bolger Agreement were consummated on January 28, 2011.  The 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock purchased by Mr. Bolger were sold at a per share purchase price equal to $4.00 per share taking into account the reverse stock split consummated by the Company on November 22, 2010.

In addition, on November 16, 2010, the Company and an affiliate of Lightyear Fund II, L.P. (“Lightyear”) entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, which amended and restated in its entirety the Securities Purchase Agreement between the same parties, dated as of October 29, 2009, for the purchase and sale of $45,875,000 worth of shares of Common Stock to Lightyear (the “A&R Lightyear Agreement”). The Company also entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (together with the A&R Bolger Agreement and A&R Lightyear Agreement, the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with each of affiliates of WL Ross & Co. L.L.C. (“WL Ross”), Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. (“Leonard Green”) and certain other investors (together with Lightyear, WL Ross and Leonard Green, the “Other Investors”).  The sales of Common Stock to Mr. Bolger and the Other Investors (the “Private Offerings”) closed on January 28, 2011. The shares of Common Stock in the Private Offerings to the Other Investors were sold at a per share purchase price equal to $4.00 per share, taking into account the reverse stock split consummated by the Company on November 22, 2010, for total gross proceeds to the Company of $177 million.
 
Subject to certain conditions under the A&R Bolger Agreement, the A&R Lightyear Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement with WL Ross and the Securities Purchase Agreement with Leonard Green (collectively, the “Lead Investor Agreements”), the Company granted each of Mr. Bolger, Lightyear, WL Ross and Leonard Green (collectively, the “Lead Investors”) preemptive rights on any subsequent offering of the Company’s securities at the same price (net of any underwriting discount or sales commission) with respect to such issuance of securities. Each such party will have such rights until such time as it, or its respective affiliates, cease to own 5% or more of all outstanding Common Stock.

Under the Lead Investor Agreements, so long as a Lead Investor owns at least 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, the Company has agreed not to enter into any poison pill agreement, stockholders’ rights plan or similar agreement, unless such agreement contains an exemption for such Lead Investor and its affiliates.
 
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the A&R Bolger Agreement, for so long as Mr. Bolger, together with his affiliates, owns at least 5% or more of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Mr. Bolger will have the right to nominate one candidate for election to each of the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of the Bank of the Cascades as candidates recommended by the board of directors of the Company, unless Mr. Bolger’s nominee is still serving as a director on each board and will continue to serve after the relevant election.  Subject to any applicable exchange listing standards and independence requirements, Mr. Bolger will be entitled to elect that his designee on the boards of directors serve on up to two committees (other than the audit committee) of each of the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of the Bank of the Cascades; this will not restrict the designee from serving on any other committee to which he is appointed by either board of directors.  In addition, for so long as Mr. Bolger, together with his affiliates, owns at least 5% or more of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Mr. Bolger will have the right to designate a nonvoting board observer to attend meetings of each of the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of the Bank of the Cascades (including any committee of either board).

Pursuant to the A&R Bolger Agreement, certain sections of the Shareholders Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2005, by and among the Company, Mr. Bolger, Two-Forty LLC and certain other shareholders were terminated and are no longer in force, including sections regarding restrictions on the transfer of shares, board participation and voting rights, shelf and demand registrations and mandated stock certificate legends.

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreements is a summary of certain material terms of such agreements and does not purport to be a complete description of all of the terms of such agreements. The A&R Bolger Agreement was incorporated by reference as Exhibit 31 to Amendment No. 14 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 14.
 
The Reporting Persons will from time to time evaluate their investment in the securities of the Company and may in the future seek to acquire additional securities or dispose of all or a portion of the securities beneficially owned by them or engage in derivative transactions (which may be physically or cash settled) relating to securities of the Company. Any such acquisition or disposition may be effected through privately negotiated transactions, in the open market, in block transactions or otherwise. Derivative transactions may involve the purchase or writing of exchange traded options or entering into over-the-counter derivative transactions; the derivative transactions may increase or decrease the Reporting Persons’ economic exposure to the Company. Any determination to acquire or dispose of securities of the Company or engage in derivative transactions will depend on a number of factors, including the Company’s business and financial position and prospects, other developments concerning the Company, the price levels at which shares of Common Stock of the Company are traded, general market and economic conditions and the availability of financing and other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons. There can be no assurance that any such acquisition or disposition of securities of the Company or derivative transactions will occur or as to the timing or method of any such acquisition, disposition or transaction.
 
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

This total comprises 6,577,072 shares of Common Stock that Mr. Bolger owns directly as an individual and 19,232 shares of Common Stock that Mr. Bolger owns indirectly through Two-Forty LLC, of which he owns 25% of the membership interests and his son, James T. Bolger, is managing member. All of the share totals in this Amendment No. 15 reflect the reverse stock split the Company effected on November 22, 2010.

Two-Forty LLC beneficially owns 19,232 shares of Common Stock, which represent approximately 0.04% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of the final paragraph thereof:

Pursuant to the  A&R Bolger Agreement, the parties entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, which is set forth as Exhibit 32 hereto. The Company must prepare and file a shelf registration statement covering all registrable securities in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. The parties to the Registration Rights Agreement, including Mr. Bolger, must promptly advise the Company if they intend to distribute their securities by means of an underwritten offering and the Company must use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such distribution pursuant to the shelf registration statement. However, the Company is not required to use its reasonable efforts to facilitate an offering unless the expected gross proceeds from the offering exceed $1 million. In addition, the Company is not required to effect a registration during certain scheduled black-out periods or, subject to certain qualifications, if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that such offering would be materially detrimental to the Company or its shareholders.

Mr. Bolger and the other parties to the Registration Rights Agreement will also be given prompt written notice of any proposal to register securities under the shelf registration statement to allow the parties to register their shares in such registration.
 
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is a summary of certain material terms of such agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of all terms of such agreement. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement filed as Exhibit 32 hereto.
 
As described above in item 4, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the A&R Bolger Agreement, certain sections of the Shareholders Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2005, by and among the Company, Mr. Bolger, Two-Forty LLC and certain other shareholders were terminated and are no longer in force, including sections regarding restrictions on the transfer of shares, board participation and voting rights, shelf and demand registrations and mandated stock certificate legends. Mr. Bolger’s right to nominate a director to the Company’s Board of Directors will continue under the Bolger Purchase Agreement as described under Item 4 above.  In addition, as described above in this Item 6, Mr. Bolger will receive certain registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing description of the A&R Bolger Agreement is a summary of certain material terms of such agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of all of its terms.   The A&R Bolger Agreement was incorporated by reference as Exhibit 31 to Amendment No. 14 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 14.
