authorized granting to Optionee, an Incentive Stock Option to purchase all or
any part of Eight Thousand Six Hundred Forty (8,640) authorized but unissued
shares of the Bank's Common Stock for cash at the price of Sixteen Dollars and
Seventy-Three Cents ($16.73) per share, such option to be for the term AND upon
the terms and conditions hereinafter stated;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed:
1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to said action of the Board of Directors
(or the Stock Option Committee) and pursuant to authorizations granted by all
appropriate regulatory and governmental agencies, the Bank hereby grants to
Optionee the option to purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan, as amended, which is incorporated in full herein by this reference,
all or any part of Eight Thousand Six Hundred (8,640) shares of the Bank's
Common Stock (hereinafter called "stock") at the price of Sixteen Dollars and
Seventy-three Cents ($16.73) per share, which price is not less than 100% of the
fair market value of the stock (or not less than 110% of the fair market value
for Optionee-shareholders who possess more than 10% of the Bank's stock) as of
the date of action of the Board of Directors (or the Option Committee) granting
this option.
2. Exercisability. This option shall be exercisable as to 1,728 on
November 18, 1999, 1,728 on November 18, 2000, 1,728 on November 18, 2001, 1,728
on November 18, 2002, 1,728 on November 18, 2003. This option shall remain
exercisable as to all of such shares until November 18, 2008 (but not later than

expired or terminated
earlier in accordance with the provisions hereof. Shares as to which this option
becomes exercisable pursuant to the foregoing provision may be purchased at any
time prior to expiration of this option.
3. Exercise of Option. This option may be exercised by written notice
delivered to the Bank stating the number of shares with respect to which this
option is being exercised, together with cash in the amount of the purchase
price of such shares. Not less than ten (10) shares may be purchased at any one
time unless the number purchased is the total number which may be purchased
under this option and in no event may the option be exercised with respect to
fractional shares. Upon exercise, Optionee shall make appropriate arrangements
and shall be responsible for the withholding of any federal and state taxes then
due.
4. Cessation of Employment. Except as provided in Paragraphs 2 and 5
hereof, if Optionee shall cease to be employed by the Bank or a subsidiary
corporation for any reason other than Optionee's death or disability (as defined
in Section 105(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time
to time), this option shall expire 90 days thereafter. During the three-month
period this option shall be exercisable only as to those installments, if any,
which had accrued as of the date when the Optionee ceased to be employed by the
Bank or the subsidiary corporation.
5. Termination of Employment for Cause. If Optionee's employment by the
Bank or a subsidiary corporation is terminated for cause, this option shall
expire immediately, unless reinstated by the Board of Directors within thirty
days (30) days of such termination by given written notice of such reinstatement
to Optionee at his last known address. In the event of such reinstatement,
Optionee may exercise this option only to such extent, for such time, and upon
such terms and conditions as if Optionee had ceased to be employed by the Bank
or a subsidiary corporation upon the date of such termination for a reason other
than cause, death or disability. Termination for cause shall, include but not be
limited to, termination for malfeasance or gross misfeasance in the performance
of duties or conviction of illegal activity in connection therewith.

transferable except by Will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall
be exercisable during Optionee's lifetime only by Optionee. If Optionee dies
while employed by the Bank or a subsidiary corporation, or during the 90 day
period referred to in Paragraph 4 hereof, this option shall expire one (1) year
after the date of Optionee's
2
death or on the day specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, whichever is earlier. After
Optionee's death but before such expiration, the persons to whom Optionee's
rights under this option shall have passed by Will or by the applicable laws of
descent and distribution or the executor or administrator of Optionee's estate
shall have the right to exercise this option as to those shares for which
installments had accrued under Paragraph 2 hereof as of the date on which
Optionee ceased to be employed by the Bank or a subsidiary corporation. If the
Optionee shall terminate employment because of disability (as defined in Section
105(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time),
the Optionee may exercise this option to the extent he or she is entitled to do
so at the date of termination, at any time Within one year of the date of
termination, but in no event later than the expiration date in paragraph 2.
7. Employment. This Agreement shall not obligate the Bank or a
subsidiary corporation to employ Optionee for any period, nor shall it interfere
in any way with the right of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation to reduce
Optionee's compensation.
8. Privileges of Stock Ownership. Optionee shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to the Bank's stock subject to this option until the
date of issuance of stock certificates to Optionee. Except as provided in the
Plan, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date such stock certificates are issued.
9. Modification and Termination by Board of Directors. The rights of
Optionee are subject to modification and termination upon the occurrence of
certain events as provided in Sections 13 and 14 of the Plan.

acquiring shares upon exercise of this option, will notify the Bank not more
than five (5) days after any sale or other disposition of such shares. No shares
issuable upon the exercise of this option shall be issued and delivered unless
and until all applicable requirements Of California and federal law pertaining
to the issuance and sale of such shares, and all applicable listing requirements
of the securities exchanges, if any, on which shares of the Bank of the same
class are then listed shall have been complied with.

be addressed to it in care of its President or Cashier at its main office and
any notice to Optionee shall be addressed to Optionee's address on file with the
Bank or a subsidiary corporation, or to such other address as either

above and deposited, postage prepaid, with the United States Postal Service. In
lieu of giving notice by mail as aforesaid, any written notice under this
Agreement may be given to Optionee in person, and to the Bank by personal
