5.1.1        Initiation – Written Claim. The claimant initiates a claim by submitting to the Plan
Administrator a written claim for the benefits.

 

5.1.2        Timing of Plan Administrator Response. The Plan Administrator shall respond to such claimant within 90 days

that an additional period is required. The notice of extension must set forth
the special circumstances and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects
to render its decision.

 

5.1.3        Notice of Decision.
If the Plan Administrator denies part or all of the claim, the Plan
Administrator shall notify the claimant in writing of such denial. The Plan Administrator
shall write the notification in a manner calculated to be understood by the

determination on review.

 

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

 

5.2.1        Initiation – Written Request. To initiate the review, the claimant, within 60 days

 

5

 

after

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

receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of,
all documents, records and other information relevant (as defined in applicable

a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a).

 

Article 6 

Amendments and Termination

 

This
Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written agreement signed by
the Company and the Executive. Provided, however, if the Company’s Board of
Directors determines that the Executive is no longer a member of a select group
of management or highly compensated employees, as that phrase applies to ERISA,
for reasons other than death, Disability or retirement, the Company may amend
or terminate this Agreement. Upon such amendment or termination the Company
shall pay benefits to the Executive as if Early Termination occurred on

 

6

 

the date of such amendment
or termination, regardless of whether Early Termination actually occurs.

 

Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the
Company may amend or terminate the plan at any time if, pursuant to
legislative, judicial or regulatory action, continuation of the Agreement would
(i) cause benefits to be taxable to the Executive prior to actual receipt, or
(ii) result in significant financial penalties or other significantly
detrimental ramifications to the Company (other than the financial impact of
paying the benefits).

 

Article 7 

Administration of Agreement

 

7.1           Plan Administrator Duties. This Agreement shall be administered by a

person(s) as the Board shall appoint. The Executive may be a member of the Plan
Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretion and
authority to (i) make, amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and
regulations for the administration of this Agreement and (ii) decide or resolve
any and all questions including interpretations of this Agreement, as may arise
in connection with the Agreement.

 

7.2           Agents. In the administration of this Agreement, the Plan Administrator may
employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit,
(including acting through a duly appointed representative), and may from time
to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Company.

 

7.3           Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Plan
Administrator with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with
the administration, interpretation and application of the Agreement and the
rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and
binding upon all persons having any interest in the Agreement. No Executive or
Beneficiary shall be deemed to have any right, vested or nonvested, regarding
the continued use of any previously adopted assumptions, including but not
limited to the Discount Rate.

 

7.4           Indemnity of Plan Administrator. The Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless the members of the Plan Administrator against any and all claims,

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

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.

 

8.7           Reorganization.
The Company shall not merge or consolidate into or with another company, or
reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to another company, firm,
or person unless such succeeding or continuing company, firm, or person agrees
to assume and discharge the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of such event, the term “Company” as used in this Agreement
shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor company.

 

8.8           Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
Company and the Executive as to the subject matter hereof. No rights are
granted to the Executive by virtue of this Agreement other than those
specifically set forth herein.

Wherever the fulfillment of the intent and purpose of this Agreement requires,
and the context will permit, the use of the masculine gender includes the
feminine and use of the singular includes the plural.

 

8

 

8.10         Alternative Action. In the event it shall become impossible for
the Company or the Plan Administrator to perform any act required by this
Agreement, the Company or Plan Administrator may in its discretion perform such
alternative act as most nearly carries out the intent and purpose of this
Agreement and is in the best interests of the Company.

 

8.11         Headings. Article and section headings are for convenient reference only and
shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its
provisions.

 

8.12         Validity. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or invalid
for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining
parts hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such
illegal and invalid provision has never been inserted herein.

or Plan Administrator under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing

6.2     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:

 

6.2.1     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 for review.

other information 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 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.

 

6.2.5     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 this 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 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).

 

Article 7

Amendments and Termination

 

7.1     This Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written agreement
signed by the Company and the Executive. Provided, however, if the Company’s
Board of Directors determines that the Executive is no longer a member of a
select group of management or highly compensated employees, as that phrase
applies to ERISA, for reasons other than death, Disability, or retirement, the
Company may amend or terminate this Agreement. Upon such amendment or

 

4

 

termination
the Company shall pay benefits to the Executive as if Early Termination
occurred on the date of such amendment or termination, regardless of whether
Early Termination actually occurs.

 

7.2     Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the Company may amend or
terminate the plan at any time if, pursuant to legislative, judicial or
regulatory action, continuation of the Agreement would (i) cause benefits to be
taxable to the Executive prior to actual receipt, or (ii) result in significant

processing the claim, the Plan Administrator 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
Plan Administrator expects to render its decision.

 

5.1.3        Notice of Decision. If the Plan Administrator denies part or
all of the claim, the Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant in writing
of such denial. The Plan Administrator 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 review.

 

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

 

5.2.1        Initiation – Written Request. To initiate the review, the claimant,
within 60 days

 

5

 

after receiving the Plan Administrator’s notice of denial, must file
with the Plan Administrator a written request for review.

 

5.2.2        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 Plan Administrator 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.

 

5.2.3        Considerations on Review. In considering the review, the Plan
Administrator 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.

 

5.2.4        Timing of Plan Administrator Response. The Plan Administrator shall respond in writing
to such claimant within 60 days after receiving the request for review. If the
Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require additional time
for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator 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
Plan Administrator expects to render its decision.

 

5.2.5        Notice of Decision. The Plan Administrator shall notify the
claimant in writing of its decision on review. The Plan Administrator 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 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).

 

Article 6

Amendments and Termination

 

This Agreement may be amended or terminated
only by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Executive. Provided,
however, if the Company’s Board of Directors determines that the Executive is
no longer a member of a select group of management or highly compensated
employees, as that phrase applies to ERISA, for reasons other than death,
Disability or retirement, the Company may amend or terminate this
Agreement. Upon such amendment or termination the Company shall pay benefits to
the Executive as if Early Termination occurred on

 

6

 

the date of such amendment or termination, regardless of whether Early
Termination actually occurs.

 

Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the Company may amend
or terminate the plan at any time if, pursuant to legislative, judicial or
regulatory action, continuation of the Agreement would (i) cause benefits
to be taxable to the Executive prior to actual receipt, or (ii) result in
significant financial penalties or other significantly detrimental
ramifications to the Company (other than the financial impact of paying the
benefits).

 

Article 7

Administration of Agreement

 

7.1           Plan Administrator Duties. This Agreement shall be administered by a
Plan Administrator which shall consist of the Board, or such committee or
person(s) as the Board shall appoint. The Executive may be a member of the
Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretion and
authority to (i) make, amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and
regulations for the administration of this Agreement and (ii) decide or
resolve any and all questions including interpretations of this Agreement, as may arise
in connection with the Agreement.

 

7.2           Agents. In the administration of this Agreement, the Plan Administrator may employ
agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit,
(including acting through a duly appointed representative), and may from
time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Company.

 

7.3           Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Plan
Administrator with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with
the administration, interpretation and application of the Agreement and the rules and
regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding
upon all persons having any interest in the Agreement. No Executive or
Beneficiary shall be deemed to have any right, vested or nonvested, regarding
the continued use of any previously adopted assumptions, including but not
limited to the Discount Rate.

 

7.4           Indemnity of Plan Administrator. The Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless the members of the Plan Administrator against any and all claims,
losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to
act with respect to this Agreement, except in the case of willful misconduct by
the Plan Administrator or any of its members.

 

7.5           Company Information. To enable the Plan Administrator to perform its
functions, the Company shall supply full and timely information to the Plan
Administrator on all matters relating to the date and circumstances of the
retirement, Disability, death, or Termination of Employment of the Executive,
and such other pertinent information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably
require.

 

7.6           Annual Statement. The Plan Administrator shall provide to the
Executive, within 120 days after the end of each Plan Year, a statement setting
forth the benefits payable under this Agreement.

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,
in its reasonable judgment, are required to be withheld from the benefits
provided under this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that the Company’s
sole liability regarding taxes is to forward any amounts withheld to the
appropriate taxing authority(ies).

 

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.

 

8.7           Reorganization. The Company shall not merge or consolidate
into or with another company, or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its
assets to another company, firm, or person unless such succeeding or continuing
company, firm, or person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of the
Company under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such event, the term “Company”
as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor
company.

 

8.8           Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the Company and the Executive as to the subject matter
hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive by virtue of this Agreement
other than those specifically set forth herein.

 

8.9           Interpretation. Wherever the fulfillment of the intent and
purpose of this Agreement requires, and the context will permit, the use of the
masculine gender includes the feminine and use of the singular includes the
plural.

 

8

 

8.10         Alternative Action. In the event it shall become impossible for
the Company or the Plan Administrator to perform any act required by this
Agreement, the Company or Plan Administrator may in its discretion perform such
alternative act as most nearly carries out the intent and purpose of this
Agreement and is in the best interests of the Company.

 

8.11         Headings. Article and section headings are for convenient reference
only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its
provisions.

 

8.12         Validity. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or invalid
for any reason, said illegality
or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as
if such illegal and invalid provision has never been inserted herein.

 

8.13         Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company
or Plan Administrator under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing
and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the address

right to exercise all incidents of ownership. The Company shall be the
beneficiary of the remaining death proceeds of the Policy after the Interest of
the Executive or the Executive’s transferee has been paid according to Section 2.2
below.

 

2.2   Executive’s Interest. The Executive shall
have the right to designate the beneficiary of the death proceeds. The
Executive shall also have the right to elect and change settlement options that
may be permitted. Upon the termination of this Agreement according to Article 7
herein, the Executive, the Executive’s transferee or the Executive’s
beneficiary shall have no rights or interests in the Policy and no death
benefit shall be paid under this Section 2.2.

 

2.2.1  Death During Active Service.
If the Executive dies while

2.2.2  Death During Payment of a
Benefit under the Salary Continuation Agreement. If the Executive dies after any benefit payments
have commenced under Article 2 of the Salary Continuation Agreement but
before receiving all such payments, the Company shall cease paying the
remaining benefit, if any, and shall then pay to the Executive’s beneficiary
the split dollar death benefit described in Section 2.2.1 of this
Agreement.

 

2.2.3  Death After Termination of
Employment But Before Commencement of Payment under the Salary Continuation

dollar death benefit described in Section 2.2.1 of this Agreement.

 

2.3 Comparable Coverage. Upon execution of
this Agreement, the Company shall maintain the Policy in full force and effect
and in no event shall the Company amend, terminate or otherwise abrogate the
Executive’s interest in the Policy, unless the Company replaces the Policy with
a comparable insurance policy to cover the benefit provided under this
Agreement and the Company and the Executive execute a new Split Dollar Policy
Endorsement for said comparable insurance policy. The Policy or any comparable
policy shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors.

 

Article 3

Premiums

 

3.1   Premium Payment. The Company shall pay any premiums due on
the Policy.

hereunder and the Executive shall have no further interest in the Policy or in
this Agreement.

moral turpitude, fraud or dishonesty;

effect on the Company; or
