5.1.3 Executive shall be entitled to any benefits
accrued or earned in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Bank.

5.2 If Executives
employment is terminated by the Bank pursuant to Section 4.6 (without cause) by the Executive pursuant to Section 4.4 (for Good Reason), and provided that Executive executes and delivers to the Bank, and does not revoke, a written release
(the Release) of any and all claims against the Bank Group with respect to all matters arising out of Executives employment by the Bank, or the termination thereof (other than claims for any entitlements under the terms of
this Agreement, claims under any plans or programs of the Bank under which Executive has accrued a benefit, and rights to indemnification under applicable law or agreement), the Bank agrees to pay to Executive base salary when and in the manner as
if Executives employment had not terminated through December 31, 2008. The Bank shall be entitled to defer payment of any amounts under this Section 5.2 until the expiration of any period during which Executive shall have the right
to revoke the Release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive would be entitled to a Severance Payment under the Change of Control Plan as a result of the termination of his employment (assuming Executive (or his beneficiary or personal
representative, if applicable) executes and delivers the release referred to in the Change of Control Plan and assuming satisfaction of all conditions under Section 2.7 of the Change of Control Plan), Executive shall not be entitled to any
payment under Section 5.2 of this Agreement.

5.3 Executive acknowledges that the Bank has the right to terminate Executives
employment without cause and that such termination shall not be a breach of this Agreement or any other express or implied agreement between the Bank and Executive. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, Executive shall be entitled only to
those benefits specifically provided for in this Agreement in the event of such termination, and shall not have any other rights to any compensation or damages from the Bank for breach of contract or tort arising from such termination.

5.4 Executive acknowledges that in the event of termination of his employment for any reason: (a) Executive shall not be entitled to any
severance or other compensation from the Bank except as specifically provided in Section 5.2; and (b) Executive shall not be entitled to participate in any employee benefits plans except as provided in such plans or as required by law.
Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, this Section supersedes any plan or policy of the Bank that provides for severance to its officers or employees, and Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits under any such plan or
policy.

5.5 Executive shall have no obligation to offset any payments he receives from the Bank following the termination of his
employment by any payments he receives from his subsequent employer.

5.6 Notwithstanding the timing of payments set forth in this
Agreement, if the Bank determines that Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of Section



- 7 -



---

409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that, as a result of such status, any portion of the payment under this Agreement would be subject
to additional taxation, the Bank will delay paying any portion of such payment until the earliest permissible date on which payments may commence without triggering such additional taxation (with such delay not to exceed six months), with the first
such payment to include the amounts that would have been paid earlier but for the above delay.



|6. | Non-Solicitation Covenants. Executive agrees that during the Employment Term and thereafter until the later to occur of one year from termination of Executives

6.2 employ or offer employment to any person who was employed by any member of the Bank Group at the time of termination of Executives employment with the Bank; or

6.3 contact or solicit any of the Bank Groups borrowers, depositors or other customers, other than those customers with whom the Executive had a
business relationship prior to the Employment Commencement Date, for the purpose of such borrower, depositor or customer obtaining a loan, from, or making a deposit or investment with, any Person other than a member of the Bank Group.



|7. | Confidentiality. Executive agrees not to disclose or use at any time (whether during or after the Employment Term) for Executives own benefit or purposes or the benefit
or purposes of any other Person any non-public information regarding the Bank Group and its business, operations, assets, financial condition and properties, including without limitation, trade secrets, business plans, policies, pricing information
and customer data provided that the foregoing covenant shall not restrict Executive from disclosing information to the extent required by law. Executive agrees that upon termination of his employment with the Bank for any reason, he will return to
the Bank immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the business of the Bank Group except that he may retain personal notes, notebooks, diaries,
Rolodexes and addresses and phone numbers. Executive further agrees that he will not retain or use for his account at any time any trade names, trademark or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business of any

|8. | Non-Compliance. Subject to the following sentence, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is employed by the Bank, any breach
of the provisions of Sections 1.3, 6 and 7 hereof shall entitle the Bank to terminate the employment of Executive for Cause, and, whether or not Executive is employed by the Bank, from and after any breach by Executive of the provisions of
Sections 6 and 7, the Bank shall cease to have any obligations to make payments to Executive under this Agreement, including payments under Section 5.2, or the Change of Control Plan.

|9. | Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Banks remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Sections 1.3,
6 and 7 hereof would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Bank, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

JUDGE OR JURY, WILL DECIDE THE CLAIM.

10.2 Executive or the Bank shall begin the arbitration process by delivering a written request for
arbitration to the other party within the time limits that would apply to the filing of a civil court action. Failure to deliver a timely written request for arbitration shall preclude the aggrieved party from instituting any legal, arbitration or

constitutions, statutes, regulations or ordinances, including, but not limited to, laws dealing with unlawful discrimination and harassment; (ii) claims based on any purported breach of contractual obligation, including but not limited to

any other term or condition of employment; (v) claims based on contract or tort; and (vi) any and all other claims arising out of Executives employment with or termination by the Bank. This includes, but is not limited to, claims
brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights act of 1964; California Government Code Section 12960, et seq.; and any other federal, state or local anti-discrimination laws relating to discrimination, including, but not limited to, those based on
the following protected categories: genetic information or characteristics; sex and gender; race; religion; national origin; mental or physical disability (including claims under the American With Disabilities Act); medical condition; veteran or
military status; marital status; sexual orientation or preference; age; pregnancy; and retaliation or wrongful termination in violation of public policy for alleging or filing or participating in any grievance or otherwise complaining of any wrong

arbitration: (i) claims related to Workers Compensation and Unemployment Insurance; (ii) administrative filings with governmental agencies such as the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing, the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor or the National Labor Relations Board; (iii) claims that are expressly excluded by statute or are expressly required to be arbitrated under a different procedure pursuant to the terms of an
employee benefit plan; and (iv) claims within the jurisdictional limits of small claims court. This Agreement does not preclude either party from seeking appropriate interim injunctive relief pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure
or applicable federal law before arbitration or while arbitration proceedings are pending.

10.5 Any claim arising between Executive and
the Bank covered by the arbitration provisions of this Agreement shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration under the rules and procedures of JAMS/Endispute, or any successor entity thereto, in effect upon the date the claim is submitted in
writing to the Bank, to which rules and procedures the parties hereby expressly agree. The rules allow for discovery by each party as ordered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator must allow discovery adequate to arbitrate all claims, including access
to essential documents and witnesses. In making his or her award, the arbitrator shall have the authority to make any finding and provide any remedy.

10.6 The arbitrator must issue a written award. The arbitrator shall, in the award or separately, make specific findings of fact, and set forth such facts in support of his or her decision, as well as the reasons and
basis for his or her opinion. Should the arbitrator exceed the jurisdiction or authority here conferred, any party aggrieved thereby may file a petition to vacate, amend or correct the arbitrators award in a court of competent jurisdiction,
pursuant to applicable law.

10.7 The party initiating the mediation shall pay the arbitrators fees and the administrative costs of
the arbitration unless such party prevails in the arbitration, in which event each party shall pay one-half of the arbitrators fees. Each party shall pay for its own attorneys fees and will not request any fees or costs from the other
party.
