ii.     the Officer has committed any illegal or dishonest act which would cause termination of coverage under the Employer's Bankers' Blanket Bond as to the Officer, as distinguished from termination of coverage as to the Employer as a whole;

2. Scope, Purpose and Effect.

2.1     Contract of Employment. Although this Agreement is intended to provide the Officer with an additional incentive to remain in the employ of the Employer, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Officer and the Employer nor shall any provision of this Agreement restrict or expand the right of the Employer to terminate the Officer's employment. This Agreement shall have no impact or effect upon any separate written employment agreement which the Officer may have with the Employer, it being the parties' intention and agreement that unless this Agreement is specifically referenced in said employment agreement (or any modification thereto), this Agreement (and the Employer's obligations hereunder) shall stand separate and apart and shall have no effect upon, nor be affected by, the terms and provisions of said employment agreement.

2.2    Fringe Benefit. The benefits provided by this Agreement are granted by the Employer as a fringe benefit to the Officer and are not a part of any salary reduction plan

or any arrangement deferring a bonus or a salary increase. The Officer has no option to take any current payments or bonus in lieu of the benefits provided by this Agreement.

3. Payments Upon or After Retirement.

3.1    Payments Upon Retirement at Age 69. If the Officer remains in the continuous employment of the Employer until Retirement and Retires on or within one (1) year of attaining age 69, then the Officer shall be entitled to be paid the Annual Benefit, with the Applicable Percent equal to 100%, for life, in equal monthly installments, with each installment to be paid on the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in which the Officer Retires, except that if the Officer is a "specified employee" as defined in Section 11.14, then the payment provided in this Section 3.1 shall be deferred as provided in Section 11.14.

3.2    Payments Upon Retirement After Age 69. If the Officer remains in the continuous employment of the Employer until Retirement and Retires on or after attaining age 70, then the Officer shall be entitled to be paid the Annual Benefit, as hereinafter adjusted, with the Applicable Percent equal to 100%, for life, in equal monthly installments, with each installment to be paid on the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in which the Officer Retires, except that if the Officer is a "specified employee" as defined in Section 11.14, then the payment provided in this Section 3.2 shall be deferred as provided in Section 11.14. For purposes of this Section 3.2, the Annual Benefit shall be adjusted depending on the year in which the Officer first Retires by increasing the Annual Benefit by two percent (2%), compounded, for each full year the Officer remains in the employment of the Employer after attaining age 69. Once the Officer Retires, the Annual Benefit shall be fixed at the then calculated amount and shall not thereafter be adjusted.

3.3    Payments in the Event of Death After Retirement. The Employer agrees that if the Officer Retires and is entitled to payments pursuant to either Section 3.1 or 3.2, but shall die before attaining age 86, then the Employer will pay the Accrued Liability in a lump sum to the Officer's designated beneficiary. If a valid Beneficiary Designation is not in effect, then the Accrued Liability shall be paid to the Officer's Surviving Spouse. If the Officer leaves no Surviving Spouse, the Accrued Liability shall be paid to the duly qualified personal representative, executor or administrator of the Officer's estate.

4. Payments in the Event Death or Disability Occurs Prior to Retirement.

4.1    Payments in the Event of Death Prior to Retirement. In the event the Officer should die while actively employed by the Employer at any time after the Effective Date, but prior to Retirement, the Employer agrees to pay the Accrued Liability to the Officer's Designated Beneficiary in a lump sum on the first day of the second month following the month of death. If a valid Beneficiary Designation is not in effect, then the amount due pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be paid to the Officer's Surviving Spouse. If the Officer leaves no Surviving Spouse, the amount due pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be paid to the duly qualified personal representative, executor or administrator of the Officer's estate.

4.2    Payments in the Event of Disability Prior to Retirement. In the event the Officer becomes Disabled while actively employed by the Employer at any time after the date of

this Agreement but prior to Retirement, the Officer shall continue to be treated during such period of Disability as being actively and gainfully employed by the Employer but shall not add applicable years of service for the purpose of determining the Annual Benefit, and, subject to any applicable deferral period as set forth in Section 11.14 herein, the Officer shall be entitled to either of the following:

i.a lump sum payment equal to the Accrued Liability, payable on the first day of the month following the month in which the Officer is deemed permanently Disabled; or

ii. the Annual Benefit, with the Applicable Percentage as set forth in Schedule A and as determined by the applicable years of service at the time of Disability, for life, in equal monthly installments, with each installment to be paid on the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in which the Officer is deemed permanently Disabled.

The Officer or his duly authorized representative may make an election of which benefit to receive at any time prior to or upon being deemed permanently Disabled. Absent a timely election, the Officer shall be paid the benefit pursuant to clause (i) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Officer should die while actively or gainfully employed by the Employer at any time after the Effective Date and prior to (i) Retirement and (ii) the commencement of any payments under this Section 4.2, the payments provided in Section 4.1 herein shall be paid in lieu of the payments provided in this Section 4.2.

5. Payments in the Event Employment is Terminated Other Than by Death, Disability, Termination for Cause or Retirement.

As indicated in Section 2 above, the Employer reserves the right to terminate the Officer's employment with or without cause but subject to any written employment agreement which may then exist, at any time prior to the Officer's Retirement. In the event that the employment of the Officer shall be terminated for any reason, including voluntary termination by the Officer, but other than by reason of (i) Disability, (ii) death, (iii) Termination for Cause, or (iv) Retirement, the Officer or his legal representative shall be entitled to be paid the Annual Benefit, with the Applicable Percentage as set forth in Schedule A and as determined by the applicable years of service at the time of termination of employment with the Employer, for life, in equal monthly installments, with each installment to be paid on the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in which the Officer attains Retirement age, except that if Officer is a "specified employee" as defined in Section 11.14, then the payment provided in this Section 5 shall be deferred as provided in Section 11.14.

In addition, in the event the Officer dies after such termination as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 5, but prior to Retirement age, then the Officer's Designated Beneficiary shall be paid the Accrued Liability in a lump sum. If a valid Beneficiary Designation is not in effect, then such benefits due the Officer under this paragraph shall be paid to the Officer's Surviving Spouse, and if the Officer leaves no Surviving Spouse, then such benefits shall be paid to the duly qualified personal representative, executor or administrator of the Officer's estate for the benefit of the Officer's estate.

The Officer agrees that the payment of benefits pursuant to this Section 5 to the extent Officer is entitled to such benefits is in lieu of any other benefits under this Agreement.

6. Termination for Cause.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event the termination of employment of the Officer is Termination for Cause, as defined in Section 1.14, the Officer shall not be entitledto any benefits pursuant to this Agreement.

7. No Ownership Rights to the Employer's Assets.

The Employer reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether, to what extent and by what method, if any, to provide for the payment of the amounts which may be payable to the Officer, the Officer's spouse or the Officer's Designated Beneficiary under the terms of this Agreement (the "Benefits"). The rights of the Officer or any beneficiary of the Officer under this Agreement shall be solely those of an unsecured creditor of the Employer.

In the event that the Employer, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to acquire an insurance policy, an annuity or any other asset to recoup the costs or any portion thereof of the Benefits, then such insurance policy, annuity or other asset shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of the Officer or his beneficiaries or to be security for the performance of the obligations of the Employer under this Agreement, but shall be, and remain, a general unpledged, unrestricted asset of the Employer. The Officer and his beneficiaries shall have no rights whatsoever with respect to, or any claim against, any such insurance policy, annuity or other asset. In connection with the Employer electing to acquire any such insurance policy or annuity, the Officer agrees to cooperate to facilitate such acquisition, and pursuant thereto shall execute such documents and undergo such medical examinations or tests as the Employer may reasonably request.

8. Claims Procedure.

The Employer shall, but only to the extent necessary to comply with ERISA, be designated as the named fiduciary under this Agreement and shall have authority to control and manage the operation and administration of this Agreement. Consistent therewith, the Employer shall make all determinations as to the rights to benefits under this Agreement. Any decision by the Employer denying a claim by the Officer, the Officer's spouse, or the Officer's beneficiary for Benefits under this Agreement shall be stated in writing and delivered or mailed, via registered or certified mail, to the Officer, the Officer's spouse or the Officer's beneficiary, as the case may be. Such decision shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial of a claim. In addition, the Employer shall provide the Officer, the Officer's spouse or the Officer's beneficiary with a reasonable opportunity for a full and fair review of the decision denying such claim.

9. Status of an Unsecured General Creditor.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary: (i) neither the Officer, the Officer's spouse nor the Officer's beneficiary shall have any legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in or to any specific property or assets of the Employer; (ii) none of the Employer's assets shall be held in or under any trust for the benefit of the Officer, the Officer's spouse or the Officer's beneficiary or held in any way as security for the fulfillment of the obligations of the Employer under this Agreement; (iii) all of the Employer's assets shall be and remain the general unpledged and unrestricted assets of the Employer; (iv) the Employer's obligation under this Agreement shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Employer to pay money in the future;

and (v) the Officer, the Officer's spouse and the Officer's beneficiary shall be unsecured general creditors with respect to any benefits which may be payable under the terms of this Agreement.

10. Covenant Not to Interfere.

The Officer agrees not to take any action which prevents the Employer from collecting the proceeds of any life insurance policy which the Employer may happen to own at the time of the Officer's death and of which the Employer is the designated beneficiary.

11. Miscellaneous.

11.1     Opportunity to Consult with Independent Counsel. The Officer acknowledges that he has been afforded the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of his choosing regarding both the benefits granted to him under the terms of this Agreement and the terms and conditions which may affect the Officer's right to these benefits. The Officer further acknowledges that he has read, understands and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that he enters into this Agreement with a full understanding of its terms and conditions.

All claims, disputes and other matters in question arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach or interpretation thereof, other than those matters which are to be determined by the Employer in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a representative member, selected by the mutual agreement of the parties, of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS"), located in Fresno, California. In the event JAMS is unable or unwilling to conduct the arbitration provided for under the terms of this Section 11.2, or has discontinued its business, the parties agree that a representative member, selected by the mutual agreement of the parties, of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), located in or nearest to Fresno, California, shall conduct the binding arbitration referred to in this Section 11.2. Notice of the demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to this Agreement and with JAMS (or AAA, if necessary). In no event shall the demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration shall be subject to such rules of procedure used or established by JAMS, or if there are none, the rules of procedure used or established by AAA. Any award rendered by JAMS or AAA shall be final and binding upon the parties, and as applicable, their respective heirs, beneficiaries, legal representatives, agents, successors and assigns, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

The "prevailing party" means the party determined by the arbitrator(s) or court, as the case may be, to have most nearly prevailed, even if such

party did not prevail in all matters, not necessarily the one in whose favor a judgment is rendered.

11.4    Notice.

Upon the occurrence of such event, the term "Employer" as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to such surviving or successor firm, person, entity or corporation.

11.7    Nonwaiver. The failure of either party to enforce at any time or for any period of time any one or more of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not be a waiver of such term(s) or condition(s) or of that party's right thereafter to enforce each and every term and condition of this Agreement.

11.8    Partial Invalidity. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement is determined by an arbitrator or a court, as the case may be, to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such determination shall not render any other term, provision, covenant or condition invalid, void or unenforceable, and the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such partial invalidity.

11.13    Governing Law. The laws of the State of California, other than those laws denominated choice of law rules, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other regulatory agency or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Employer, shall govern the validity, interpretation, construction and effect of this Agreement.

11.14    Delayed Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that Code section 409A applies to any compensation with respect to a Separation from Service, payment of that compensation shall be delayed if the Officer is a "specified employee," as defined in Code section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and such delayed payment is required by Code section 409A. Such delay shall last six months from the date of Separation from Service. On the day following the end of the six-month period, the Employer shall make a catch up payment to the Officer equal to the total amount of such payments that would have been made during the six-month period but for this Section 11.14.

11.15    Compliance with Code Section 409A. This Agreement shall at all times be administered in compliance with the requirements of Code section 409A and any and all regulations thereunder, including such regulations as may be promulgated after the effective date of this Agreement.

11.19    Suicide or Misstatement. No benefit shall be distributed hereunder if the Officer commits suicide within two (2) years after the Effective Date, or if an insurance company which issued a life insurance policy covering the Officer and owned by the Employer denies coverage (i) for material misstatements of fact made by the Officer on an application for life insurance, or (ii) for any other reason.
