6.

Termination.

c)

Compliance with Law and Regulation.  You and Employer expressly acknowledge and agree that any payments made to you pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

d)

Suspension and Removal Orders.  If you are suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of Employer’s affairs by notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1818 (e)(3) and (g)(1)), the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the

date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceeding.  If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion: (I) pay you 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.  If you are removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of Employer’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(4) or (g)(1)), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected.

e)

Section 1823(c)); or (ii) by the Director or his or her designee, at the time that the Director or his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to the operation of Employer or when Employer is in an unsafe or unsound condition.  All rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

g)

Disability.  In the event that you shall fail, because of illness, incapacity or injury, to render the services contemplated by this Agreement for three (3) consecutive calendar months, or for shorter periods aggregating four (4) months in any twelve (12) month period, your employment hereunder may be terminated by written notice from Employer to you.  In the event that your employment is terminated under this Section 6(g), you shall receive the difference between any disability payments provided through insurance plans offered by Employer, if any, provided you have enrolled in such plans and paid the cost thereof, and your base salary as set forth in Section 3(a) hereof, for six months after notice from Employer, plus the amount of any bonus compensation payable to you under Section 3(b) hereof, prorated through the date of termination.  Such termination shall not affect any rights, which you may have pursuant to any insurance or other death benefit, or any stock option plans, or options thereunder, which rights shall continue to be governed by the provisions of such plans and arrangements.

h)

Death.  If your employment is terminated by reason of your death, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations of Employer to you (or your heirs or legal representatives) under this Agreement, other than for payment of: (i) your base salary (as set forth in Section 3(a) hereof) through the date of termination; (ii) the amount of any bonus compensation payable to you under Section 3(b) above, prorated through the date of termination; (iii) any compensation previously deferred by you; (iv) any accrued vacation and/.or sick leave pay; and (v) any amounts due pursuant to the terms of any applicable welfare benefit plan.  All of the foregoing amounts shall be paid to

your estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the date of termination or earlier as required by applicable law.

7.

Disclosure or Use of Employer’s Trade Secrets.  During the Term hereof, you will have access to and become acquainted with what you and Employer acknowledge are trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information of Employer (including but not limited to products, employees, practices, policies or process).  You shall not use or disclose any trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information, directly or indirectly, or cause them to be used or disclosed in any manner, except as may be required or requested by Employer, by court order or under applicable law or regulation.  This paragraph shall survive the termination of this agreement.

8.

Return of Documents.  You expressly agree that all manuals, documents, files, reports, studies or other materials used and/or developed by you for Employer during the Term of this Agreement or prior thereto while you were employed by Employer are solely the property of Employer, and that you have no right, title or interest therein.  Upon termination of this Agreement, you or your representative shall promptly deliver possession of all such materials (including any copies thereof) to Employer.

9.

Notices.  All notices, demands or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered in person, or sent by United States mail, certified or registered, with return receipt requested, if to you, addressed to you at your last residence address as shown in the records of Employer, and if to Employer, addressed to the President of Employer at Employer’s principal office.

10.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction.  This Agreement, the legal relations between the parties and any action instituted by any party arising under or in connection with this Agreement, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

11.

Arbitration.  Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in respect of this Agreement (or its validity, interpretation or enforcement), the employment relationship or the subject matter hereof shall at the request of either party be submitted to and settled by arbitration conducted at a mutually convenient office of the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”).  Employer and Employee may agree on a retired judge from the JAMS panel.  If we are unable to agree upon a retired judge, JAMS will provide a list of three available judges and each party may strike one.  If two of the three judges are stricken, the remaining judge will serve as arbitrator.  If two arbitrators remain, the first judge listed shall serve as arbitrator.  Employer and you agree that arbitration must be initiated within two years after the claim breach occurred and that the failure to initiate arbitration within the two-year period constitutes an absolute bar to the institution of any new proceedings related to such alleged breach.  The aggrieved party can initiate arbitration by sending written notice of any intention to arbitrate by registered or certified mail to all parties and to JAMS.  The notice must contain a description of the dispute, the amount involved and the remedy sought.  The prevailing party in such proceeding will be entitled to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel and costs incurred by reason of such arbitration.

12.

Benefit of Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that you may not assign any interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of Employer.

13.

Captions.  Captions and paragraph heading used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement.

14.

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to your employment by Employer, and it expressly supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or written, relating thereto.

15.

Severability.  Should any provision of this Agreement for any reason be declared invalid, void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and binding effect of any remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with such invalid, void or unenforceable provisions eliminated; provided, however, that the remaining provisions still reflect the intent of the parties to this Agreement.

16.

Amendments.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written agreement signed by you and the President of the Bank.  This Agreement and any amendment thereof may be executed in counterparts.

18.

Employees.  Employee agrees that for a period of two years after the termination of Employee’s employment, except in the case of termination pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, disrupt, damage, impair, or interfere with Employer’s business by soliciting, influencing, encouraging or recruiting any employee of Employer to work for Employee or any Employee Related Entity.
