of Employment on or after the Normal Retirement Age for reasons other than
death, the Company shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this
Section 2.1 in lieu of any other benefit under this Agreement.

It is the intent of the parties to comply with all applicable Internal Revenue
Code Sections, including, but not limited to, IRC 409A. Thus, pursuant to IRC
409A, if the Executive is a Key Employee, as defined by the Internal Revenue
Service, and said Company is publicly traded at the time of separation from
service, any such benefit payment described hereinafter shall be withheld for
six (6) months following such separation from service. The duration of said
benefits shall remain unchanged, but as a result of the delay in the payment
start date, the final payment date shall be extended six (6) months in order to
result in all payments being made.

          2.1.1 Amount of Benefit. The annual benefit under this Section 2.1 is

and absolute discretion unilaterally increase the annual benefit amount at the

Retirement Age. The Company shall pay this annual benefit to the Executive for
fifteen (15) years.

          2.1.3 Lump Sum Option. At any time after installment payments have
commenced under Section 2.1 of this Agreement, Executive may petition the Board
or the Plan Administrator to receive the unpaid balance of the Normal Retirement
Benefit, in lieu of installment payments, in a present value lump sum. Such
petition shall be submitted to the Board, or the Plan Administrator, in writing
not less than thirteen (13) months prior to the date on which the Executive
wishes to receive the lump sum distribution.

     2.1.4 Payment of Lump Sum. Subject to approval by the Board or the Plan
Administrator, the Company shall pay the lump sum to the Executive within thirty
(30) days after the designated payment date requested by the Executive, less any
applicable taxes or withholding required by state or federal law, and less a 7%
penalty imposed by the Company for the right to receive the Normal Retirement
Benefit in a lump sum.

Executive under Section 2.1 of this Agreement, less any monthly payments already
received by the Executive under Section 2.1 of this Agreement;

Termination amount set forth in Schedule A for the Plan Year ending immediately
prior to the Early Termination Date, except, however, the Executive shall not be
entitled to any benefit if he voluntarily terminates his employment prior to the
end of the fifth Plan Year. Any increase in the annual benefit under Section 2.1
shall require the recalculation of this benefit as set forth in Schedule A.

     2.2.2 Payment of Benefit. The Company shall pay the annual benefit to the
Executive in twelve (12) equal monthly installments payable on the first day of
each month commencing with the month following the Executive's Normal Retirement
Date. The Company shall pay this annual benefit to the Executive for fifteen
(15) years.

Disability prior to Normal Retirement Age, the Company shall pay to the
Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.3 in lieu of any other benefit
under this Agreement.

     2.3.1 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.3 is the

vesting the Executive one hundred percent (100%) in the present value of the
stream of payments of the Normal Retirement Benefit described in Section 2.1.
Any increase in the annual benefit under Section 2.1 shall require the
recalculation of this benefit as set forth in Schedule A.

payment which is calculated to be the present value of the Normal Retirement
Benefit based upon fifteen (15) years of monthly installment payments, which are
to be calculated commencing with Executive's Normal Retirement Age and ending
fifteen (15) years later.

                                    Article 3
                                 Death Benefits

      The Company shall not pay a death benefit under this Agreement. A death
benefit may be provided according to the terms of a separate Split Dollar
Agreement entered into by the Company and the Executive.

                                    Article 4
                                  Beneficiaries

       4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall designate a beneficiary
by filing a written designation with the Company. The Executive may revoke or
modify the designation at any time by filing a new designation. However,
designations will only be effective if signed by the Executive and received by
the Company during the Executive's lifetime. The Executive's beneficiary
designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases
the Executive, or if the Executive names a spouse as beneficiary and the
marriage is subsequently dissolved. If the Executive dies without a valid
beneficiary designation, all payments shall be made to the Executive's estate.

       4.2 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person
declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of
his or her property, the Company may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal
representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent
person or incapable person. The Company may require proof of incapacity,
minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the
benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Company from all
liability with respect to such benefit.

                                    Article 5
                               General Limitations

       5.1 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not pay any benefit under this
Agreement if the Company terminates the Executive's employment for:

within 2 years of Termination of Employment, which enterprise is, or may deemed
to be, competitive with any business carried on by the Company as of the date of
termination of the Executive's employment or his retirement. This section shall
not apply following a Change of Control.

       This Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written agreement
signed by the Company and the Executive.

                                    Article 8
                                  Miscellaneous

     8.1 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive and the
Company, and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, successors,
administrators and transferees.

     8.2 No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not an employment policy
or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to remain an employee of
the Company, nor does it interfere with the Company's right to discharge the
Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an employee nor
interfere with the Executive's right to terminate employment at any time.

     8.3 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

     8.4 Tax Withholding. The Company shall withhold any taxes that are required
to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.

     8.5 Applicable Law. The Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California, except to the extent preempted
by the laws of the United States of America.

     8.6 Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and beneficiary are general
unsecured creditors of the Company for the payment of benefits under this
Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Company to pay such
benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or
garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executive's life is a general
asset of the Company to which the Executive and beneficiary have no preferred or
secured claim. Furthermore, it is the intent of the parties that this Agreement
is unfunded for tax and ERISA purposes.

     8.7 Recovery of Estate Taxes. If the Executive's gross estate for federal
estate tax purposes includes any amount determined by reference to and on
account of this Agreement, and if the beneficiary is other than the Executive's
estate, then the Executive's estate shall be entitled to recover from the
beneficiary receiving such benefit under the terms of the Agreement, an amount
by which the total estate tax due by the Executive's estate, exceeds the total
estate tax which would have been payable if the value of such benefit had not
been included in the Executive's gross estate. If there is more than one person
receiving such benefit, the right of recovery shall be against each such person.
In the event the beneficiary has a liability hereunder, the beneficiary may
petition the Company for a lump sum payment in an amount not to exceed the
beneficiary's liability hereunder.
