                            FALLBROOK NATIONAL BANK

                  DIRECTOR'S INDEXED FEE CONTINUATION PROGRAM

I.    DEFINITIONS

      A.    EFFECTIVE DATE:

            The Effective Date of the Fallbrook National Bank Director's Indexed
            Fee Continuation Program (the Plan) shall be September 24, 1996.

      B.    PLAN YEAR:

            Any reference to "the Plan Year" shall mean a calendar year from
            January 1 to December 31. In the year of implementation, the term
            "the Plan Year" shall mean the period from the effective date to
            December 31 of the year of the Effective Date.

      C.    RETIREMENT DATE:

            Retirement Date shall mean retirement from service with the Bank
            which becomes effective on the first day of the calendar month
            following the month in which the Director reaches age sixty-five
            (65) or such later date as the Director may actually retire.

      D.    TERMINATION OF SERVICE:

            Termination of Service shall mean voluntary resignation by the
            Director from service on the Board or failure of re-election to the
            Board, prior to the Retirement Date.

      E.    PRE-RETIREMENT ACCOUNT:

            A Pre-Retirement Account shall be established as a liability reserve
            account on the books of the Bank for the benefit of each director in
            the Plan. Prior to termination of service or a director's
            retirement, such liability reserve account shall be increased or
            decreased each Plan Year (including the Plan Year in which the
            Directors ceases to serve on the Board) by an amount equal to the
            annual earnings or loss for that Plan

<PAGE>

            Year determined by the Index [described in subparagraph I (G)
            hereinafter], less the Cost of Funds Expense for that Plan Year
            [described in subparagraph I (H) hereinafter], divided by the number
            of directors in the Plan [as defined in subparagraph I (I)
            hereinafter] during that Plan Year.

      F.    INDEX RETIREMENT BENEFIT:

            The Index Retirement Benefit for each director in the Plan shall be
            equal to the annual earnings or loss determined by the Index
            [subparagraph I (G)] less the Cost of Funds Expense [subparagraph I
            (H)], divided by the number of directors in the Plan [subparagraph I
            (I)], for each Plan Year in which the Index Retirement Benefit is
            due.

      G.    INDEX:

            The Index for any Plan Year shall be the aggregate annual after-tax
            income from the life insurance contracts described in the attached
            Exhibit "A" on the lives of the participating directors [described
            in subparagraph I (I)], as defined by FASB Technical Bulletin 85-4.
            This Index shall be applied as if such insurance contracts were
            purchased on the effective date of the Plan.

            If such contracts of life insurance are actually purchased by the
            Bank then the actual policies as of the dates they were actually
            purchased shall be used in calculations under this Agreement. If
            such contracts of life insurance are not purchased or are
            subsequently surrendered or lapsed, then the Bank shall receive
            annual policy illustrations from the above named insurance
            company(ies) on the increase in value from such policy(ies) as if
            they had actually been in force which will be used to calculate the
            amount of the Index.

            In either case, references to the life insurance contract are merely
            for purposes of calculating a benefit. The Bank has no obligation to
            purchase such life insurance and, if purchased, the Director and his
            beneficiaries shall have no ownership interest in such policy and
            shall always have no greater interest in the benefits under this
            Agreement than that of an unsecured creditor of Bank.

      H.    COST OF FUNDS EXPENSE:

            The Cost of Funds Expense for any Plan Year shall be calculated by
            taking the sum of the amount of premiums set forth in the Indexed
            policies described above (Exhibit "A") plus the amount of any
            after-tax benefits paid to any director pursuant to the Plan
            (Paragraph II hereinafter) plus the

                                       2
<PAGE>

            amount of all previous years after-tax Costs of Funds Expense, and
            multiplying that sum by the average after-tax cost of funds of the
            Bank's One Year Treasury Instrument as filed with the Federal
            Reserve or other primary Federal Regulator.

      I.    NUMBER OF PARTICIPATING DIRECTORS:

            The Number of Participating Directors for any Plan Year shall be the
            number of directors (including those in retirement status)
            participating in the Plan as of December 31 of the previous year.
            Participating directors are those directors listed on the attached
            Exhibit B less any of those directors who have died. The policy of a
            director who is no longer a participating director shall not be
            considered when computing the Index [subparagraph I (G)] in any Plan
            Year.

      J.    CHANGE OF CONTROL:

            Change of Control shall be deemed to be the cumulative transfer of
            more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Bank
            holding company from the Effective Date of this Agreement. For the
            purposes of this Agreement, transfers on account of deaths or gifts,
            transfers between family members or transfers to a qualified
            retirement plan maintained by the Bank shall not be considered in
            determining whether there has been a change in control.

      K.    NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE:

            Normal Retirement Age shall mean the date on which the Director
            attains age sixty-five (65).

II.   INDEX BENEFITS

      A.    RETIREMENT BENEFITS:

            Subject to subparagraph II (C) hereinafter, a director who remains
            on the Board of the Bank until his Retirement Date defined in
            subparagraph I (C), shall be entitled to receive the balance in his
            Pre-Retirement Account in ten (10) equal annual installments
            commencing thirty days following the Director's Normal Retirement
            Date. In addition to these payments, commencing with the Plan Year
            in which the Director attains his Retirement Date, the Index
            Retirement Benefit (as defined in subparagraph I (F) above] for each
            Plan Year shall be paid to the Director until his death.

                                       3

      B.    DEATH:

            Should the Director die prior to having received the Pre-Retirement
            Account, the unpaid balance of the Pre-Retirement Account shall be
            paid to the beneficiary selected by the Director and filed with the
            Bank. In the absence of or a failure to designate a beneficiary, the
            unpaid balance shall be paid in a lump sum to the personal
            representative of the Director's estate.

      C.    TERMINATION OF SERVICE:

            Should a Director suffer a Termination of Service [subparagraph I
            (D)], he shall be entitled to receive the vested percent from the
            table below based on the Directors total years of service on the
            Board, times the balance in the Pre-Retirement Account paid over ten
            (10) years in equal installments commencing at the Director's Normal
            Retirement Age [subparagraph I (K)]. In addition to these payments,
            commencing in the Plan Year the Director reaches his Normal
            Retirement age [subparagraph I (K)], the vested percent from the
            table below based on the Directors total years of service on the
            Board, times the Index Retirement Benefit for each year shall be
            paid to the Director until his death.

                  Full Years of Service

                    10 or more                     100%
</TABLE>
            In addition, the Director shall receive one hundred percent (100%)
            of his Deferred Compensation Account (as defined in Paragraph III)
            immediately after a Termination of Service.

      D.    DISCHARGE FOR CAUSE:

            Should the Director be discharged for cause at any time prior to his
            Retirement Date, all Index Benefits under this Agreement
            [subparagraphs II (A), (B) or (C)] shall be forfeited. The term
            "for cause" shall mean gross negligence or gross neglect or the
            commission of a felony or gross-

                                       4
<PAGE>

            misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, fraud, dishonesty or willful
            violation of any law that results in any adverse effect on the bank.
            If a dispute arises as to discharge "for cause", such dispute shall
            be resolved by arbitration as set forth in this Agreement. However,
            deferral benefits under Paragraph III shall continue to be due and
            payable under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
            above, the bank may in it's sole discretion pay the Directors
            Deferred Compensation Account to the Director in a lump sum upon
            his discharge for cause. In such case this Agreement shall
            terminate.

      E.    DEATH BENEFIT:

            Except as set forth above, there is no death benefit provided under
            this Agreement.

      F.    MINIMUM BENEFITS:

            The minimum amount of the benefits described in Paragraph II,
            hereof, shall be eight thousand dollars ($8,000) in each of the
            first three year following the Director's retirement.

III.  DEFERRAL BENEFITS

      Any director wishing to defer any portion or all of his director fees may
      elect to defer up to one hundred percent (100%) each year. However, the
      aggregate fees deferred under this agreement may not exceed one hundred
      thousand ($100,000) dollars. This limit applies to deferred fees only and
      shall not include any interest credited on those deferred fees. The Bank
      shall establish a Deferred Compensation Account in the name of the
      Director, and credit that account with the deferrals. The Bank shall also
      credit interest to the Deferred Compensation Account balance monthly. The
      interest rate credited shall be the Bank's average portfolio yield for the
      prior month, less two hundred (200) basis points.

      The Director will make his election to defer by filing with the Bank a
      written statement setting forth the amount and timing of the deferrals.
      This statement must be filed prior to having earned the deferred income.

      Upon the Director's Retirement Date or Termination of Service from the
      Board [subparagraph I (C) and (D) herein above], the balance of the
      Director's Deferred Compensation Account shall be payable to the Director
      in equal annual

                                       5
<PAGE>

      installments of principle and interest at the rate of eight percent (8%)
      per annum. Director may elect to have such payments made according to any
      of the following options: lump sum, three years, five years, or ten years.
      The Director shall make such payment election no later that one year prior
      to Retirement Date. In the absence of an election, the benefit shall be
      payable in three equal annual installments.

      Should the Director die while there is a balance in his Deferred
      Compensation Account, such balance shall be paid pursuant to subparagraph
      II (C) herein above.

IV.   RESTRICTIONS UPON FUNDING

      The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any
      fund or money with which to pay its obligations under this Agreement. The
      directors, their beneficiaries or any successor in interest shall be and
      remain simply a general creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any
      other creditor having a general claim for matured and unpaid compensation.

      The Bank reserves the absolute right at its sole discretion to either fund
      the obligations undertaken by this Agreement or to refrain from funding
      the same and to determine the extent, nature and method of such funding.
      Should the Bank elect to fund this Agreement, in whole or in part,
      through the purchase of life insurance, mutual funds, disability policies
      or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole
      discretion, to terminate such funding at any time, in whole or in part. At
      no time shall any director be deemed to have any lien nor right, title or
      interest in or to any specific funding investment or to any assets of the
      Bank.

      If the Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity
      policy upon the life of the Director, then the Director shall assist the
      Bank by freely submitting to a physical exam and supplying such additional
      information necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities.

V.   CHANGE OF CONTROL

      Upon a Change of Control [as defined in subparagraph I (J) herein], if the
      Director is subsequently terminated then he shall receive the benefits
      promised in this Agreement upon attaining Normal Retirement Age, as if he
      had been continuously

                                       6
<PAGE>

      serving the Bank until his Normal Retirement Age. The Director will also
      remain eligible for all promised death benefits in this Agreement. In
      addition, no sale, merger or consolidation of the Bank shall take place
      unless the new or surviving entity expressly acknowledges the obligations
      under this Agreement and agrees to abide by its terms.

This Director's Indexed Retirement Program adopted this 24th day of September,
1996.

     2.  EMPLOYMENT. The Bank hereby agrees to continue to employ the
Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to continue to serve the Bank, for
the period stated in Section 4 hereof and upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein.

     3.  POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES. The Executive shall serve as President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and, subject to the provisions of
Section 5 below, shall have such responsibilities, duties and authority as are
generally associated with such positions and as may from time to time be
assigned to the Executive by the Board that are consistent with such
responsibilities, duties and authority. During the Term of this Agreement, the
Executive shall devote all his time, attention, skill and efforts during normal
business hours to the business and affairs of the Bank.

     4.  TERM OF AGREEMENT. Subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, this Agreement and the period of Executive's employment shall be
deemed to have commenced as of January 1, 1998, and shall continue for an
initial term of three (3) calendar years thereafter and any extensions
thereafter. The initial term shall automatically be extended for an
additional one (1) full calendar year without further action by the parties
on January 1, 1999, and on each succeeding January 1 thereafter, such that as
of each such January 1, this Agreement shall have a remaining term of three
(3 ) calendar years. Each party may stop an automatic calendar year
extension, however, by serving written notice ("Notice of Non-Renewal") upon
the other within 90 calendar days prior to January 1, 2001, or within 90
calendar days prior to January 1 of any succeeding year, as the case may be,
of such party's intention that this Agreement shall expire at the end of such
Term. In the

                                        4

<PAGE>

event the Bank retains Executive as an employee following the expiration of the
Term, such employment, absent a written agreement to the contrary, will be on an
at-will basis with such compensation and upon such terms as the parties may then
agree, subject to termination at any time with or without cause, and without
liability. If the Bank does not retain Executive as an employee after the
Expiration of the Term, Executive's employment shall cease without further
liability of the parties to each other. Executive's employment shall also
terminate, and the Term of this Agreement will expire, upon Executive's
resignation (unless resignation is for Good Reason after a Change in Control),
retirement, death or Disability, or upon Executive's Termination for Cause.

     5.  DUTIES.

         (a) The Bank and Executive hereby agree that, subject to the provisions
of this Agreement, the Bank shall employ Executive, and Executive shall serve
the Bank as an executive officer for the Term of this Agreement. The specific
executive position(s) in which Executive will serve will be designated from time
to time by the Board.

         (b) During the Term hereof, Executive shall devote substantially all of
his or her business time, attention, skill and efforts to the faithful
performance of the business of the Bank to the fullest extent necessary to
properly discharge his or her duties and responsibilities hereunder. Executive's
position and duties with the Bank shall be as identified from time to time by
the Board of Directors of the Bank. Further, with the approval of the Board,
from time to time, Executive may serve, or continue to serve, on the boards of
directors of, and hold any other offices or positions in, companies or
charitable, political or civic organizations, which, in such Board's judgment,
will not present any material conflict of interest with the Bank and will not
unfavorably affect the performance of Executive's duties pursuant to this
Agreement.

         (c) In addition, to the extent permitted by the National Bank Act and
consistent with the oversight responsibilities of the Board of Directors,
Executive shall have the full authority and support of the Board of Directors to
hire and fire all officers and employees of the Bank from time to time.

         (d) Further, Executive shall have the full authority of the Bank and
the Board of Directors to execute contracts, leases and other related documents
for the purchase of capital equipment and improvements, provided such
expenditures and obligations are contained in and within the Annual Budget for
the Bank, which has been adopted or approved by the Board of Directors.

     6.  SALARY, BONUS PAYMENTS AND RELATED MATTERS.

         (a) SALARY. During the period of the Executive's employment hereunder,
the Bank shall pay to the Executive a base salary of One Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($150,000.00)) per year, payable at regular intervals in accordance with
the Bank's normal payroll practices now or hereafter in effect. Executive's
salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the Board or a committee
designated by the Board and shall be adjusted based upon Executive's job
performance and the Bank's financial condition and performance; provided,
however, that in no event shall Executive's monthly salary be lower than the
initial amount set forth above unless, in the good faith judgment of the Board,
the financial condition of the Bank requires a general decrease in the salaries
of executive officers of the Bank. The first such salary review shall be
undertaken no later than January 1, 1998 and completed no later than June 30,
1998. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change in Control,
Executive's salary shall not be less than Executive's annual salary for the year
immediately preceding the Change in Control.

         (b) INCENTIVE/BONUS PAYMENTS. During the period of the Executive's
employment hereunder, the Executive may receive such discretionary bonuses as
may be granted to him from time to time by the Board. In addition, Executive
shall be eligible to receive such bonuses, if any, as shall be awarded Executive
pursuant to Executive's Employee Incentive Plan.

         (c) EXPENSES. During the period of the Executive's employment
hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for
all reasonable and customary expenses incurred by the Executive in performing
services hereunder in accordance with the general policies and procedures
established by the Bank.

         (d) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND PERKS. During the period of the Executive's
employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all
employee benefits plans or arrangements of the Bank on the same basis as other
employees of the Bank including, without limitation, plans or arrangements
providing medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, disability
insurance, sick leave, vacation or retirement. Executive shall also be entitled
to (i) the continuation of an automobile allowance in the amount of $750.00 per
month, (ii) use of the Bank provided credit card(s), car telephone(s), pager(s)
and such other perks (if such is (are) being so provided) upon the terms and
conditions previously in effect.

      7. TERMINATION.

         (a) RESIGNATION, RETIREMENT, DEATH OR DISABILITY. Executive's
employment hereunder shall cease at any time by Executive's resignation (other
than a resignation for Good Reason as provided in Section 7(e)), or by
Executive's retirement, death or Disability. Disability shall be deemed to have
occurred only after the following procedure has been satisfied: If within 30
days after a written notice of proposed Termination for Disability is given to
Executive by the Bank,

                                        6
<PAGE>

Executive has not returned to the full-time performance of his duties, the Bank
may end Executive's employment by giving written notice of Termination for
Disability. Such notice may be given by the Bank following Executive's absence
from Executive's duties by reason of physical or mental disability for one
hundred and fifty (150) consecutive calendar days.

         (b) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Executive's employment shall cease upon a
good faith finding of Cause by the Board; provided, however, that Executive
shall be given written notice of the Board's finding of conduct by Executive
amounting to Cause for such termination. Said notice shall be accompanied by a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a
majority of a quorum of the Board at a duly-noticed meeting of the Board,
finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of
conduct amounting to Cause and specifying the particulars thereof; provided,
however, that after a Change in Control, such resolution may be adopted only by
the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of a committee composed of at
least three (3) disinterested outside directors of the Bank. In the absence of
at least three (3) disinterested outside directors, a determination of Cause
shall be submitted to and made by an arbitrator(s) pursuant to Section 13
hereof.

         (c) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Executive's employment may be terminated
Without Cause upon 30 days' notice for any reason, subject to the payment of all
amounts required by Section 8 hereof.

         (d) EXPIRATION. Executive's employment shall cease, or shall continue
on an at-will basis as provided in Section 4 hereof, upon the expiration of the
Term of this Agreement as provided in Section 4 hereof.

         (e) RESIGNATION FOR GOOD REASON. Following a Change in Control during
the Term hereof, Executive may, under the following circumstances, regard
Executive's employment as being constructively terminated by the Bank (and in
such case Executive's employment shall terminate) and may, therefore, Resign for
Good Reason within 90 days of Executive's discovery of the occurrence of one or
more of the following events, any of which shall constitute "Good Reason" for
such Resignation for Good Reason:

                  (i) Without Executive's express written consent, the
         assignment to Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with
         Executive's position, duties, responsibilities and status with the Bank
         immediately prior to the Change in Control, or any subsequent removal
         of Executive from or any failure to re-elect him to any such position;

                  (ii) Without Executive's express written consent, the
         termination and/or material reduction in Executive's facilities
         (including office space and general location) and staff reporting and
         available to Executive immediately prior to the

                                       7
<PAGE>

         Change in Control;

                  (iii) A material reduction (ten percent or greater) by the
         Bank of Executive's base salary or of any bonus compensation applicable
         to him as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

                  (iv) A failure by the Bank to maintain any of the employee
         benefits and perks to which Executive was entitled immediately prior to
         the Change in Control at a level substantially equal to or greater than
         the value of those employee benefits and perks in effect immediately
         prior to the Change in Control; or the taking of any action by the Bank
         which would materially affect Executive's participation in or reduce
         Executive's benefits under any such benefits or 'perks' plans, programs
         or policies, or deprive Executive of any material fringe benefits
         enjoyed by him immediately prior to the Change in Control;

                  (v) The Bank requiring Executive to be based anywhere other
         than in the county in which the Bank's principal business location is
         currently situated, except for required travel on the Bank's behalf to
         an extent substantially consistent with Executive's present business
         travel obligations;

                  (vi) Any purported Termination of Executive's employment by
         the Bank other than those effected in good faith pursuant to Sections
         7(a) and 7(b);

                  (vii) The failure of the Bank to obtain the assumption of this
         Agreement by any successor; or

                  (viii) Receipt by Executive of a Notice of Non-Renewal.

         (f) SUPERVISORY SUSPENSION. If the Executive is suspended and/or
temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs
by a notice served under Sections 8(e) or (g) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act or similar statute, rule or regulation, the Bank's obligations under this
Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank
shall, (i) pay the Executive 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.

         (g) REGULATORY REMOVAL. If the Executive is removed and/or permanently
prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by an order
issued under Sections 8(e) or (g) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or
similar statute, rule or regulation, all obligations of the Bank under this
Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order.

                                       8

      8. PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON TERMINATION.

this Agreement due to Executive's death, Disability or retirement, Executive or

available to Bank employees, or their spouses and/or estates, as of the date of
such death, Disability or retirement, without reduction.

         (b) RESIGNATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON OR EXPIRATION. In the event of
Executive's resignation (other than a Resignation for Good Reason), or upon
Expiration, the Bank shall have no further obligations to Executive under this
Agreement or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by law.

         (c) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In the event Executive is Terminated for
Cause, the Bank shall have no further obligations to Executive under this
Agreement or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by law.

         (d) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE PRIOR TO A CHANGE IN CONTROL. Upon the
occurrence of a Termination Without Cause prior to a Change in Control, as
damages for breach of this Agreement, the Bank shall continue to provide
Executive his base salary then in effect, upon such terms and at such times as
described herein, for a period of 12 months following such Termination.

         (e) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR RESIGNATION FOR GOOD REASON, AFTER A
CHANGE IN CONTROL. If in the 24 month period following a Change in Control,
Executive (i) Resigns for Good Reason or (ii) is otherwise Terminated Without
Cause, the Bank shall pay to Executive a lump sum payment equal to 24 months

(10th) day following the date of Termination Without Cause or a Resignation for
Good Reason.

         (f) SOURCE OF PAYMENTS. All payments provided in Section 8 shall be
paid in cash from the general funds of the Bank, and no special or separate fund
need be established and no other segregation of assets need be made to assure
payment.

         (g) CONSISTENT RETURNS. The Bank and Executive agree that the payments
being made under this Agreement represent reasonable compensation for services
and that neither the Bank nor Executive will file any returns or reports which
take a contrary position.

         (h) REDUCTION OF PAYMENT. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to
the contrary, if the payments made to Executive following a Termination Without
Cause or Resignation

                                       9
<PAGE>

For Good Reason or any of the other payments provided for in this Agreement,
together with any other payments which Executive has the right to receive from
the Bank would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G of
the Code), the payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced to the
largest amount as will result in no portion of such payments being subject to
the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however, that the
determination as to whether any reduction in the payments under this Agreement
pursuant to this proviso is necessary shall be made in good faith by the Bank's
independent auditors or if such firm is no longer providing tax services to Bank
to such other tax advisor as shall be mutually acceptable to Bank and Executive,
and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Bank and Executive
with respect to the treatment of the payment for tax reporting purposes.

         (i) SOLE REMEDY, The receipt of the amounts described in this Section
8, and attorneys' fees as set forth in Section 13, if any, shall constitute
Executive's sole remedy for breach of this Agreement against the Bank and its
officers, directors, employees and agents.

      9. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE. During the period of his employment
hereunder and for a period of two years following the cessation of such
employment (irrespective of the reason therefor), Executive shall not, except as
required by any court, supervisory authority or administrative agency, without
the written consent of the Board or a person authorized thereby, disclose to any
person, other than an employee of the Bank or a person to whom disclosure is
reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the
Executive of his duties as an employee of the Bank, any confidential information
obtained by him while in the employ of the Bank; provided, however, that
confidential information shall not include any information known generally to
the public (other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by the
Executive).

      10. AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE. To the extent permitted by law, unless
otherwise approved in writing by the Bank, and except for a Termination Without
Cause Prior to a Change in Control, for a period of one (1) year from the date
of his cessation of employment by the Bank, Executive shall not directly or
indirectly enter into or in any manner take part in any business, profession or
endeavor which shall be competitive with the business of the Bank in any city
where the Bank has a full service branch office as an employee, officer, agent,
independent contractor, 10% or more owner of an entity, director or other
business representative; in addition, Executive agrees that for the one (1) year
period described herein, Executive shall not solicit any customer with whom the
Bank has done business during the preceding five years.

      11. WAIVERS NOT TO BE CONTINUED. Any waiver by a party of any breach of

                          EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT

Fallbrook National Bank (FNB) and Thomas Swanson, President, enter into this
Executive Incentive Agreement for Thomas Swanson, to be effective January 1,
1998:

I.       Tom will be eligible for an incentive bonus equaling 50% of his annual
         salary of $150,000 if he achieves 100% of the goals established by the
         Board of Directors. This bonus will be paid out as follows:

         a. 1/2 of Tom's incentive bonus will be paid as a cash incentive
         totaling $37,500. This portion of Tom's incentive would be subject to
         all applicable federal and state tax deductions.

         b. 1/2 of Tom's incentive bonus will be paid in stock options utilizing
         the Black-Scholes methodology to determine the number of shares to be
         granted. The shares will be granted at the fair market value of said
         shares on the date of grant in accordance e with the plan.

         EXAMPLE: 50% OF INCENTIVE = $37,500 WHICH WILL EQUAL 12,669 SHARES
         VESTED USING THE BLACK-SCHOLES VALUATION OF $2.96 PER SHARE.

          - See attachment

         c. Tom's incentive compensation will be paid based on the percent to
         which he meets or exceeds his overall goals, up to a maximum of 200%:

         - If 85% of the established goals are satisfied, Tom will be eligible
         to receive 85% of the established incentive.

         - If 100% of the established goals are satisfied, Tom will be eligible
         for the entire incentive outlined in item I a & b..

         - If the established goals are exceeded by greater than 100% up to
         200%, Tom will be eligible to receive more than 100% of the incentive
         up to 200%. The incentive will be pro-rated based on the amount the
         goals have been exceeded. For example, if Tom exceeds the established
         goals by 25% (or reached 125% of goal), he will be eligible for 125% of
         his incentive.

This constitutes our entire agreement relating to Tom's Incentive Agreement.
This supersedes any other promises, representations or understandings, and it
cannot be modified except in writing signed as below. In the event that any
provision of this plan or any part hereof is found invalid, the remainder of
this plan will be binding upon the parties and will be construed as if the
invalid provision or part thereof had been deleted from this plan.
