                          SALARY CONTINUATION AGREEMENT
                                       FOR
                                WILLIAM F. HENLE


       THIS AMENDMENT is adopted this 1st day of July, 2002, by and between
VALLEY INDEPENDENT BANK, located in El Centro, California (the "Company") and
WILLIAM F. HENLE (the "Executive").

       The Company and the Executive executed the VALLEY INDEPENDENT BANK SALARY
CONTINUATION AGREEMENT on January 1, 2001 (the "Agreement"). The undersigned
hereby amends, in part, said Agreement to update the Executive's Normal
Retirement Benefit according to the terms of Section 2.1.1 of the Agreement,
which will also change the amounts on Schedule A attached to said Agreement, to
clarify the Change of Control and Death Benefit and to update the Agreement for
recent regulatory changes. Therefore, the following revisions shall be made:A

       Article 1.3 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced by Article 1.3 below.

       1.3 "Disability" means the Executive suffering a sickness, accident or
injury which has been determined by the carrier of any individual or
group-disability insurance policy covering the Executive, or by the Social
Security Administration, to be a disability rendering the Executive totally and
permanently disabled. The Executive must submit proof to the Company of the
carrier's or Social Security Administration's determination upon the request of
the Company.

       Article 2.1.1 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced by Article 2.1.1 below.

              2.1.1 Amount of Benefit. The annual benefit under this Section 2.1
       is $163,200 (One Hundred Sixty-three Thousand Two Hundred Dollars).
       Commencing at the end of the first Plan Year, and each Plan Year
       thereafter, the annual benefit shall be increased 6 percent from the
       previous Plan Year to a projected annual benefit of $292,266 (Two Hundred
       Ninety-two Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-six Dollars) at Normal Retirement
       Age. Each February this benefit shall be reviewed and any additional
       increase in the annual benefit shall require the recalculation of
       Schedule A.

       Article 2.4.1 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced by Article 2.4.1 below.

              2.4.1 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.4 is the
Change of Control Annual Benefit set forth in Schedule A for the Plan Year in
which Termination of Employment occurs, determined by vesting the


                                       81

Executive in the Normal Retirement Benefit Level for the current Plan Year.

       Article 2.4.4 below shall be added to the Agreement.

              2.4.4 Benefit Increases. Commencing on the first anniversary of
       the first benefit payment, and continuing on each subsequent anniversary,
       the Company's Board of Directors shall increase this Change of Control
       annual benefit by 3 percent (3%).

       Article 3.1 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced by Article 3.1 below.

       3.1 Death Benefit. The Company shall pay to the Executive's beneficiary
the death benefit described in the Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement
attached as Addendum A between the Company and the Executive.

       Articles 6.1 and 6.2 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety
and replaced by Articles 6.1 and 6.2 below.

       relevant (as defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to the claimant's
       claim for benefits.

              6.2.3 Considerations on Review. In considering the review, the
       Company shall take into account all materials and information the
       claimant submits relating to the claim, without regard to whether such
       information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit
       determination.

              6.2.4 Timing of Company Response. The Company shall respond in
       writing to such claimant within 60 days after receiving the request for

       additional period is required. The notice of extension must set forth the

              of, all documents, records and other information relevant (as
              defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to the claimant's claim
              for benefits, and

                      (d) A statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil
              action under ERISA Section 502(a).

                                     TO THE
                             VALLEY INDEPENDENT BANK
                            EXECUTIVE BONUS AGREEMENT
                                       FOR
                                WILLIAM F. HENLE


       THIS AMENDMENT is adopted this 1st day of July, 2002, by and between
VALLEY INDEPENDENT BANK, located in El Centro, California (the "Company") and
WILLIAM F. HENLE (the "Executive").

       The Company and the Executive executed the VALLEY INDEPENDENT BANK
EXECUTIVE BONUS AGREEMENT on July 2, 2002, (the "Agreement"). The undersigned
hereby amends, in part, said Agreement to define the Bonus Award in lieu of a
schedule that was previously attached to the Agreement and update for recent
regulatory changes. Therefore, the following revisions shall be made:

       Article 1.4 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced by Article 1.4 below.

       1.4 "Disability" means the Executive suffering a sickness, accident or
injury which has been determined by the carrier of any individual or
group-disability insurance policy covering the Executive, or by the Social
Security Administration, to be a disability rendering the Executive totally and
permanently disabled. The Executive must submit proof to the Company of the
carrier's or Social Security Administration's determination upon the request of
the Company.

       Article 1.6 of the Agreement shall be deleted and replaced by Article 1.6
below.

       1.6 "Normal Retirement Age" means the Executive's 62nd birthday.

       Article 2.1.1 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced by Article 2.1.1 below.

       1.1 Bonus Award. The Company shall pay the Executive a cash Bonus for
each Plan Year until the Executive's death unless this Agreement is terminated.
The amount of the bonus shall be equal to the Executive's economic benefit under
a separate Split Dollar Agreement dated January 1, 2001, between the Executive
and the Company, divided by one minus the Company's combined marginal income tax
rate for the calendar year immediately preceding such payment. The Company shall
pay such Bonus award prior to December 31 of each year.

       Article 5 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced
by Article 5 below.

       This Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written agreement
signed by the Company and the Executive. However, this Agreement will
automatically terminate upon the termination of the separate Split Dollar
Agreement executed January 1, 2001, between the Executive and the Company.

       The following Article 7 shall be added to the Agreement.

                                    Article 7
                           Claims and Review Procedure

       7.1 Claims Procedure. Any Executive or beneficiary who has not received
benefits under this Agreement that he or she believes should be paid
("claimant") shall make a claim for such benefits as follows:

              7.1.1 Initiation - Written Claim. The claimant initiates a claim
       by submitting to the Company a written claim for the benefits.

              7.1.2 Timing of Company Response. The Company shall respond to
       such claimant within 90 days after receiving the claim. If the Company
       determines that special circumstances require additional time for
       processing the claim, the Company can extend the response period by an
       additional 90 days by notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the end
       of the initial 90-day period, that an additional period is required. The
       notice of extension must set forth the special circumstances and the date
       by which the Company expects to render its decision.

              7.1.3 Notice of Decision. If the Company denies part or all of the
       claim, the Company shall notify the claimant in writing of such denial.
       The Company shall write the notification in a manner calculated to be
       understood by the claimant. The notification shall set forth:

                      (a) The specific reasons for the denial,

                      (b) A reference to the specific provisions of the
Agreement on which the denial is based,

                      (c) A description of any additional information or
material necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of
why it is needed,

                      (d) An explanation of the Agreement's review procedures
and the time limits applicable to such procedures, and

                      (e) A statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil
action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on

       7.2 Review Procedure. If the Company denies part or all of the claim, the
claimant shall have the opportunity for a full and fair review by the Company of
the denial, as follows:

              7.2.1 Initiation - Written Request. To initiate the review, the
       claimant, within 60 days after receiving the Company's notice of denial,
       must file with the Company a written request


                                       92

       for review.

              7.2.2 Additional Submissions - Information Access. The claimant
       shall then have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents,
       records and other information relating to the claim. The Company shall
       also provide the claimant, upon request and free of charge, reasonable
       access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information
       relevant (as defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to the claimant's
       claim for benefits.

              7.2.3 Considerations on Review. In considering the review, the
       Company shall take into account all materials and information the
       claimant submits relating to the claim, without regard to whether such
       information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit
       determination.

              7.2.4 Timing of Company Response. The Company shall respond in
       writing to such claimant within 60 days after receiving the request for
       review. If the Company determines that special circumstances require
       additional time for processing the claim, the Company can extend the
       response period by an additional 60 days by notifying the claimant in
       writing, prior to the end of the initial 60-day period, that an
       additional period is required. The notice of extension must set forth the
       special circumstances and the date by which the Company expects to render
       its decision.

              7.2.5 Notice of Decision. The Company shall notify the claimant in
       writing of its decision on review. The Company shall write the
       notification in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant. The
       notification shall set forth:

                      (a) The specific reasons for the denial,

                      (b) A reference to the specific provisions of the
Agreement on which the denial is based,

                      (c) A statement that the claimant is entitled to receive,
upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all
documents, records and other information relevant (as defined in applicable

                      (d) A statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil
action under ERISA Section 502(a).
