Agreement.
6. SALARY, BONUS PAYMENTS AND RELATED MATTERS.

designated by the Board and shall be adjusted based upon Executive's job
performance and the Bank's financial condition and performance; provided,
however, that in no event shall Executive's monthly salary be lower than the
initial amount set forth above unless, in the good faith judgment of the Board,
the financial condition of the Bank requires a general decrease in the salaries
of executive officers of the Bank. The first such salary review shall be
undertaken no later than January 1, 1998 and completed no later than June 30,
1998. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change in Control,
Executive's salary shall not be less than Executive's annual salary for the year
immediately preceding the Change in Control.
(b) INCENTIVE/BONUS PAYMENTS. During the period of the Executive's
employment hereunder, the Executive may receive such discretionary bonuses as
may be granted to him from time

Incentive Plan, attached.

hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for

services hereunder in accordance with the general policies and procedures
established by the Bank.

employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all
employee benefits plans or arrangements of the Bank on the same basis as other
employees of the Bank including, without limitation, plans or arrangements
providing medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, disability
insurance, sick leave, vacation or retirement. Executive shall also be entitled

conditions previously in effect.
7. TERMINATION.
(a) RESIGNATION, RETIREMENT, DEATH OR DISABILITY. Executive's
employment hereunder shall cease at any time by Executive's resignation (other
than a resignation for Good Reason as provided in Section 7(e)), or by
Executive's retirement, death or Disability. Disability shall be deemed to have
occurred only after the following procedure has been satisfied: If within 30
days after a written notice of proposed Termination for Disability is given to
Executive by the Bank, Executive has not returned to the full-time performance
of his duties, the Bank may end Executive's employment by giving written notice
of Termination for Disability. Such notice may be given by the Bank following
Executive's absence from Executive's duties by reason of physical or mental
disability for one hundred and fifty (150) consecutive calendar days.
(b) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Executive's employment shall cease upon a
good faith finding of Cause by the Board; provided, however, that Executive

amounting to Cause for such termination. Said notice shall be accompanied by a

conduct amounting to Cause and specifying the particulars thereof; provided,
however, that after a Change in Control, such resolution may be adopted only by
the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of a committee composed of at
least three (3) disinterested outside directors of the Bank. In the absence of
at least three (3) disinterested outside directors, a determination of Cause
shall be submitted to and made by an arbitrator(s) pursuant to Section 13
hereof.

Term of this Agreement as provided in Section 4 hereof.
(e) RESIGNATION FOR GOOD REASON. Following a Change in Control during
the Term hereof, Executive may, under the following circumstances, regard
Executive's employment as being constructively terminated by the Bank (and in
such case Executive's employment shall terminate) and may, therefore, Resign for
Good Reason within 90 days of Executive's discovery of the occurrence of one or
more of the following events, any of which shall constitute "Good Reason" for
such Resignation for Good Reason:
(i) Without Executive's express written consent, the

immediately prior to the Change in Control, or any subsequent removal
of Executive from or any failure to re-elect him to any such position;
(ii) Without Executive's express written consent, the
termination and/or material reduction in Executive's facilities
(including office space and general location) and staff reporting and

Bank of Executive's base salary or of any bonus compensation applicable
to him as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

benefits and perks to which Executive was entitled immediately prior to
the Change in Control at a level substantially equal to or greater than
the value of those employee benefits and perks in effect immediately
prior to the Change in Control; or the taking of any action by the Bank
which would materially affect Executive's participation in or reduce
Executive's benefits under any such benefits' or perks' plans, programs
or policies, or deprive Executive of any material fringe benefits
enjoyed by him immediately prior to the Change in Control;
(v) The Bank requiring Executive to be based anywhere other
than in the county in which the Bank's principal business location is
currently situated, except
7
for required travel on the Bank's behalf to an extent substantially
consistent with Executive's present business travel obligations;
(vi) Any purported Termination of Executive's employment by
the Bank other than those effected in good faith pursuant to Sections
7(a) and 7(b);
(vii) The failure of the Bank to obtain the assumption of
this Agreement by any successor; or
(viii) Receipt by Executive of a Notice of Non-Renewal.
(f) SUPERVISORY SUSPENSION. If the Executive is suspended and/or
temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs
by a notice served under Sections 8(e) or (g) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act or similar statute, rule or regulation, the Bank's obligations under this
Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank
shall, (i) pay the Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while its
obligations under this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or
in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.
(g) REGULATORY REMOVAL. If the Executive is removed and/or permanently
prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by an order

Expiration, the Bank shall have no further obligations to Executive under this
Agreement or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by law.

Cause, the Bank shall have no further obligations to Executive under this
Agreement or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by law.
(d) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE PRIOR TO A CHANGE IN CONTROL. Upon the
occurrence
8
of a Termination Without Cause prior to a Change in Control, as damages for
breach of this Agreement, the Bank shall continue to provide Executive his base

for a period of nine (9) months following such Termination.
(e) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR RESIGNATION FOR GOOD REASON, AFTER A

or a Resignation for Good Reason.

paid in cash from the general funds of the Bank, and no special or separate fund

being made under this Agreement represent reasonable compensation for services

the contrary, if the payments made to Executive following a Termination Without
Cause or Resignation For Good Reason or any of the other payments provided for
in this Agreement, together with any other payments which Executive has the
right to receive from the Bank would constitute a "parachute payment" (as
defined in Section 280G of the Code), the payments pursuant to this Agreement
shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such
payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code;
provided, however, that the determination as to whether any reduction in the
payments under this Agreement pursuant to this proviso is necessary shall be
made in good faith by the Bank's independent auditors or if such firm is no
longer providing tax services to Bank to such other tax advisor as shall be
mutually acceptable to Bank and Executive, and such determination shall be
conclusive and binding on the Bank and Executive with respect to the treatment
of the payment for tax reporting purposes.
(i) SOLE REMEDY. The receipt of the amounts described in this Section
8, and attorneys' fees as set forth in Section 13, if any, shall constitute
Executive's sole remedy for breach of this Agreement against the Bank and its

and for a period of two years following the cessation of such employment
(irrespective of the reason therefor), Executive shall not, except as required
by any court, supervisory authority or administrative agency,
9
without the written consent of the Board or a person authorized thereby,
disclose to any person, other than an employee of the Bank or a person to whom
disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the
performance by the Executive of his duties as an employee of the Bank, any
confidential information obtained by him while in the employ of the Bank;
provided, however, that confidential information shall not include any
information known generally to the public (other than as a result of an
unauthorized disclosure by the Executive).
10. AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE. To the extent permitted by law, unless
otherwise approved in writing by the Bank, and except for a Termination Without
Cause Prior to a Change in Control, for a period of one (1) year from the date
of his cessation of employment by the Bank, Executive shall not directly or
indirectly enter into or in any manner take part in any business, profession or
endeavor which shall be competitive with the business of the Bank in any city

independent contractor, 10% or more owner of an entity, director or other
business representative; in addition, Executive agrees that for the one (1) year
period described herein, Executive shall not solicit any customer with whom the
Bank has done business during the preceding five years.
11. WAIVERS NOT TO BE CONTINUED. Any waiver by a party of any breach of
this Agreement by the other party shall not be construed as a continuing waiver
or as a consent to any subsequent breach by the other party.

hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if

this Agreement shall, upon written request of one party to the other, be
submitted to and settled exclusively by arbitration in the State of California
and be governed by the California Arbitration Act as set forth in the California
Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute or
controversy, the Bank shall continue to pay Executive's full compensation in
effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given and continue

benefits in which Executive was participating when the notice giving rise to the
dispute was given, until the dispute is finally resolved, except that no such
continuation of compensation or benefits shall apply if Executive is terminated

award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The cost of such arbitration,
including reasonable attorney's fees, shall be borne by the losing party or in

hereof shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom
it is sought to be enforced. Any written amendment, waiver, or termination

shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy.

EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AGREEMENT
Fallbrook National Bank (FNB) and Xxxx Xxxxxxx, as Executive Vice President,
Chief Operating Officer, enter into this Executive Incentive Compensation
Agreement for Xxxx Xxxxxxx, to be effective JANUARY 1, 1998. The Executive
Incentive Compensation Plan is designed to provide financial incentive to Xxxx
and is not intended as a contract of employment. This document is intended as an
outline of the incentive plan that has been agreed upon by both parties. Any
representations or promises made and not reflected in this plan or in Gary's
employment agreement, effective January 1, 1998, are void. All sections of this
plan are subject to modification but can only be altered in writing by the
President of Fallbrook National Bank.
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
A. CONDITIONS
Xxxx will be entitled to receive incentive compensation, payable
ANNUALLY, according to the following incentive plan:
I. SBA SALES INCENTIVE:
YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE 30BP ON TOTAL SBA ASSET SALES
GAINS LESS SALES INCENTIVES PAID.
EXAMPLE: TOTAL ANNUAL ASSET SALES GAINS = $ 2,300,000
(+) OTHER INCOME & FEES $ 33,200
(-) ANNUAL SALES INCENTIVES PAID = ($ 207,000)
-------------
ANNUAL TOTAL = $ 2,126,200
$2,093,000 X 30 BP (.03) = $ 63,786
II. MORTGAGE LOANS INCENTIVES:
YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE 30BP ON TOTAL MORTGAGE INCOME &
FEES LESS SALES INCENTIVE PAID.
EXAMPLE: TOTAL ANNUAL INCOME & FEES = $888,000
(-) SALES INCENTIVES PAID = ($285,000)
--------
ANNUAL TOTAL = $603,000
$603,000 X 30 BP (.03) = $ 18,090
TOTAL ANNUAL INCENTIVE = $63,786 + $18,090 = $ 81,876
PARTICIPATION IN THE ABOVE INCENTIVE EXEMPTS XXXX FROM THE BANK'S SENIOR
MANAGEMENT BONUS PROGRAM.
Notwithstanding any of the above, no Bonuses shall vest until the date the Bonus
is paid.
Any and all compensation paid to Xxxx is subject to normal payroll deductions
and are payable through normal payroll cycles. To be eligible for any bonus
compensation, you must be employed by the Bank at the time the bonus is to be
paid. Any bonus awarded will be paid in full and no prorated portion of any
bonus will be awarded. The goal associated with each bonus must be achieved and
approved by the PRESIDENT prior to any bonus award.
Notwithstanding any timeframes specified above, nothing in this Executive
Incentive Compensation Agreement modifies the rights of either Xxxx or FNB to
terminate employment at any time, for any reason.
This constitutes our entire agreement as to the matters addressed in this
Executive Incentive Compensation Agreement. It fully supersedes any other
promises, representations or understandings, and it cannot be modified except in
writing signed as below. In the event that any provision of this plan or any
part hereof is found invalid, the remainder of this plan will be binding upon
the parties and will be construed as if the invalid provision or part thereof
had been deleted from this plan.
