 EXHIBIT 10.18 
  
 MUTUAL SPECIFIC AND GENERAL RELEASE 
  
 1.  Parties.    The parties to this Mutual Specific and General Release (this “Agreement”) are as follows: 
  
 1.1  Richard A. Cude, an individual, and his related or affiliated individuals, heirs, successors and assigns, and his related or affiliated
entities (collectively referred to herein and throughout this Agreement as “Cude”); 
  
 1.2  Channell Commercial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its present, former and future officers, directors, employees, shareholders and other related or affiliated individuals, and its related or affiliated
entities and the present, former and future officers, directors, employees shareholders and other related or affiliated individuals thereof (all collectively referred to herein and throughout this Agreement as the “Company”). 

 
 2.  Recitals.    This Agreement is entered into with reference to the following facts:

  
 2.1  Cude shall cease performing any duties for, and shall cease to be an officer or
employee of, the Company as of July 14, 2002. 
  
 2.2  The parties desire to resolve fully
and finally any and all actions, claims, damages, accounts and differences, if any, including but not limited to any matters pertaining to Cude’s employment with the Company up to and including the date set forth in Section 2.1 of this
Agreement. 
  
 2.3  Cude disputes and denies that his performance for the Company has been
negligent or inappropriate in any regard. The Company disputes and denies that it has acted wrongly in any manner toward Cude, that it has abridged or impaired any of his rights, or that it has caused him any injury of any amount or nature. The
parties therefore agree to settle and waive all claims of any nature either of them may have against the other, as set forth below. In particular, Cude has agreed to settle any and all claims of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown that he has,
may have or could have had against the Company, including, but not limited to, any current or former officer, director, or other employee, agent or affiliated entity of the Company, arising out of or in connection with Cude’s employment or the

 2.4  Neither party has filed and each party agrees not to file at any time in the future, any statutory, civil, or administrative claim,
complaint, or charge of any kind whatsoever with any state or federal court, administrative agency, or tribunal of any kind whatsoever, concerning any subject matter connected with, or pertaining or relating to the issues referred to in this
paragraph 2, and paragraph 3, below, and the parties agree that this Agreement and the consideration exchanged in this Agreement are contingent upon this promise not to file any such claim,
complaint or charge of any kind whatsoever. 

 2.5  The consideration for the Total Consideration specified in paragraph 4 below includes the
following: (a) Cude’s general release of claims set forth in paragraph 3; and (b) Cude’s agreements in paragraph 4 (confidentiality; non-solicitation). 
  
 3.  Releases and Waivers. 
  
 3.1  General Release by the Company.    The Company, on behalf of itself and any affiliated or related corporation or entity, does hereby now and forever release and discharge Cude and his heirs

expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees), damages, actions and causes of action, of whatsoever kind or nature, including, without limitation, any statutory, civil or administrative claim, or any claim, arising out of acts,

the Effective Date of this Agreement, including but not limited to any claims that are based on, arise out of, or relate to Cude’s employment or other relationship with, or any services rendered (or that Cude claims he has the right to or would
have rendered) for, on behalf of, or for the benefit of the Company or any affiliated or related corporation, entity, or individual.

individuals and entities, if any, including, but not limited to any predecessors, successors, heirs, assigns, attorneys, representatives, agents, accountants, and any and all other related or affiliated individuals and entities, if any, and each of
them, shall and does hereby forever relieve, release and discharge the Company and its predecessors, successors, heirs, assignees, owners, attorneys, representatives, affiliates, parent corporations, subsidiaries (whether or not wholly owned),
divisions, parts, partners and their current and former officers, directors, agents, employees, servants, executors, administrators, accountants, shareholders, investigators, insurers, and any and all other related individuals and entities, if any,
from any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, liens, promises, acts, agreements, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees), damages, actions and causes of action, of whatsoever kind or nature,
including, without limitation, any statutory, civil or administrative claim, or any claim, arising out of acts, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, apparent or concealed (collectively referred to as
“claims”), that are based upon, arise out of, or relate to any act or omission occurring at any time on or before the Effective Date of this Agreement including, but not limited to, any claims based on, arising out of, related to or
connected with Cude’s employment with or cessation of employment with the Company or any of its related entities, including, but not limited to, any claims arising from rights under federal, state, and local laws relating to the regulation of
federal or state tax payments or accounting, to federal or state laws which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, religion, sex, age, marital status, disability, perceived disability, ancestry, sexual orientation, family or
medical leave, or any other form of discrimination, or to laws such as workers’ compensation laws, which provide rights and remedies for injuries sustained in the workplace or any common law claims of any kind, including, but not limited to,
contract, 

 
 2 

 tort, and property rights including, but not limited to, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith
and fair dealing, tortious interference with contract or current or prospective economic advantage, fraud, deceit, breach of privacy, unfair competition, misrepresentation, defamation, wrongful termination, tortious infliction of emotional distress,
loss of consortium, breach of fiduciary duty, violation of public policy and any other common law claim of any kind whatsoever, any claims for severance pay, sick leave, family leave, liability pay, vacation, life insurance, health insurance,
continuation of health benefits, disability or medical insurance or any other fringe benefit or compensation, and any and all rights or claims arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), or pertaining to
ERISA regulated benefits, or any claim for damages or declaratory or injunctive relief of any kind. 
  
 3.3  Waiver of rights or claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. 
  
 3 .3.1  Cude represents that he was afforded a period of at least twenty-one (21) days to consider an unexecuted version of this Agreement. 
  
 3.3.2  Cude acknowledges that he understands all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

 
 3.3.3  The Company advises Cude to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement.

  
 3.3.4  Cude warrants and represents that he has consulted with an attorney to the
extent he deemed necessary or advisable regarding all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement before executing this Agreement. 
  
 3.3.5  Cude specifically waives any rights or claims he may have against the Company, as set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3, including, but not limited to, rights or claims which may have arisen
under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 621 et. seq., as a result of Cude’s employment with the Company, services during the Interim Term, or cessation of employment. 

 
 3.3.5.1  This waiver is in exchange for consideration, as set forth in paragraph 4, in addition to
anything of value to which Cude is already entitled. 
  
 3.3.6  Cude shall have seven (7)
days to revoke this Agreement after he has executed it. 
  
 3.4  This Agreement shall not
become effective or enforceable until seven (7) days following its execution by Cude (the “Effective Date”). 
  
 4.  Consideration.     Pursuant to the terms and subject to all of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall make and provide the following payments and benefits to Cude (in addition to
any payments and benefits required by law): (a) each of the payments and benefits specified in Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 of Cude’s Employment Agreement (except that, for purposes of Section 5.2.2, there will be no discount to reflect the
acceleration of the Employment Term Base Salary), (b) reimbursement for the expense of 

 
 3 

 relocation back to Michigan (including, without limitation, air travel to Michigan in accordance with Company air fair policies) consistent with
Section 3.3.1 of the Employment Agreement, (c) continued right to live in and use the rental residence and leased automobile currently provided by the Company through October 31, 2002, (d) payment of accrued vacation and sick pay in accordance with
Section 4.4 of the Employment Agreement, and (e) right to be indemnified, defended and held harmless by the Company for actions as a director and/or executive officer and employee from any and all claims and causes of action arising from
Employee’s directorship or employment in any capacity by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law (collectively, such payments and benefits are referred to as the “Total Consideration”). The Total Consideration is
claimed by, and is paid to Cude as full and final settlement of Cude’s claims against the Company, although the Company disputes and denies the existence of any liability, wrongdoing or negligence of any kind whatsoever, and although Cude
releases and waives any such claims pursuant to paragraph 3, above. None of the Total Consideration is subject to reduction or offset in the event that Cude secures alternative employment after the date specified in Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

  
 4.1  Confidentiality of Agreement.    Except as provided in
this paragraph, the parties agree and represent that the terms and provisions of and information concerning this Agreement, as well as the matters released in this Agreement, shall remain absolutely confidential and shall not be disclosed to the
media or the press, or to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity (collectively referred to as “any person”), with the sole and exclusive exception with respect to the Company of management level employees the Company reasonably
determines need the information in the course of their employment, or the Company’s accountants or attorneys; so long as any such individual is informed of this confidentiality agreement and is instructed by the party and agrees to retain the
confidentiality of this Agreement; provided however, that either party, if asked by anyone, may state that “the matter has been resolved confidentially.” Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as precluding disclosure of its
existence, fact, terms, or provisions of or information concerning this Agreement, as well as the matters released in this Agreement, if given as testimony before any court of law or administrative proceeding, or if required and compelled by due
process of law. In the event that Cude is required and compelled by due process of law to disclosure the terms, fact or existence of this Agreement, he will first give fifteen (15) days advance written notice to the Company when reasonably
practicable so that the Company may present and preserve any objections it may have to such disclosure. If Cude cannot give such notice because he is required and compelled by due process of law to disclose this information in less than fifteen (15)
days after receiving notice, he will provide oral notice, as well as written notice as set forth above, as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
  
 4.2  Confidentiality of Information.    Cude agrees that he shall continue to observe and be subject to Company policy
regarding confidentiality of information. 
  
 4.3  Non-Solicitation. 

 
 (a)  As a means reasonably designed to protect the confidential and proprietary information of the
Company, during the period from the date hereof through the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Restricted Period”), Cude agrees that he 

 
 4 

 will not, directly or indirectly, either for himself or for any other person, firm, corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, group, association or other entity, call upon, solicit, divert, take away or accept, or attempt to call upon, solicit, divert, take away or accept, business of a type the same or similar to the business as conducted by the Company
as of the date hereof or as proposed as of the date hereof to be conducted by the Company from any of the customers, sales representatives and personnel, licensors, manufacturers or other vendors of the Company or similar entities or persons upon
whom Cude called or whom he solicited or to whom he catered or with whom he became acquainted after entering the employ of the Company; provided, that the foregoing shall not restrict Cude from doing business with a customer, manufacturer or
other vendor of the Company if both (i) such business does not interfere with the business done between the Company and such customer, manufacturer or other vendor and (ii) the business done by Cude with such customer, manufacturer or other vendor
does not involve divulging or using any confidential information of the Company relating to pricing, product specifications or other terms of business between the Company and its customers, manufacturers and other vendors. 
  
 (b)  Cude agrees and acknowledges that he has gained and during the Restricted Period will likely continue to
gain, valuable information about the identity, qualifications and on-going performance of the employees of the Company. Consequently, as a further means reasonably designed to protect the confidential and proprietary information of the Company,
during the Restricted Period, Cude shall not directly or indirectly (i) hire, employ, offer employment to, or seek to hire, employ or offer employment to, any person who is then, or within the prior three (3) months had been, an employee of the
Company, (ii) solicit or encourage any person who is then, or within the prior three (3) months had been, an employee of the Company, to seek or accept employment with any other person or entity or (iii) disclose any information, except as required
by law, about such employee to any prospective employer. Cude acknowledges that even an unsuccessful solicitation of the Company’s employees may negatively impact the morale, commitment and performance of the employee in question and that any
successful solicitation of an employee may cause substantial financial loss for which Cude will be responsible. 
  
 4.4  No Authority to Bind.    After the date specified in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, Cude agrees that he will not in any manner imply or represent, directly or indirectly, to any person or
entity that he is an agent of the Company with any authority to bind the Company, and acknowledges and agrees that from and after such date he will not be an agent of the Company and will not have any authority to bind the Company. 

 
 4.5  Full Consideration.    Each party is to bear its own attorneys’
fees, expert and consultant fees, if any, costs, and any other expenses to date incurred in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement. The parties expressly agree that the above-referenced sums are offered and accepted as a complete and
final settlement, as fully described in this Agreement, of any and all claims and obligations referenced in paragraph 2, above. 
  
 5.  Non-Assignment of Claims.    Each of the parties represents and warrants that it has not assigned or transferred any portion of the claims released under this Agreement to any other
individual, firm, corporation or other entity, and that no other individual, firm, 

 
 5 

  
 corporation or other entity has any lien, claim or interest in any such claims, including but not
limited to, any claim or interest arising out of, related to or connected with the matters referenced in paragraph 2 above. Each party shall indemnify each other party, defend and hold it harmless from and against any claims arising out of, related
to, or in connection with any such prior assignment or transfer, or any such purported assignment or transfer, or any claims or other matters released or assigned in this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement covenants and agrees not to bring,
induce, or assist, except to the extent required by law or process, any claim, action or proceeding of any kind or nature brought by any person against any party to this Agreement, directly or indirectly, regarding, connected with, arising out of,
or relating or pertaining to in any manner the matters released by this Agreement or any matter in any way connected with, regarding, pertaining or relating to or arising out of Cude’s status as an employee of the Company. 

 
 6.  Section 1542 of the Civil Code.    The parties expressly waive any and all rights
under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, or any other federal or state statutory rights or rules, or principles of common law or equity, or those of any jurisdiction, government, or political subdivision, similar to Section
1542 (“similar provision”). Thus, they may not invoke the benefits of Section 1542 or any similar provision in order to prosecute or assert in any manner any claims that are released under this Agreement. Section 1542 provides as follows:

  
 “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know .or suspect to
exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor,” 
  
 7.  Successors and Assigns.    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties to this Agreement,
and each of them. 
  
 8.  Integration.    This Agreement constitutes a single
integrated written contract expressing the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement. No covenants, agreements, representations, or warranties of any kind whatsoever, whether express or implied in law or fact, have been made by any party to
this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. All prior and contemporaneous discussions and negotiations have been and are merged and integrated into, and are superseded by, this Agreement. 
  
 9.  Modifications.    No modification, amendment or waiver of any of the provisions contained in this
Agreement, or any future representations, promise, or condition in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be binding upon any party to this Agreement unless made in writing and signed by such party or by a duly authorized
officer or agent of such party. 
  
 10.  Severability.    In the event that any
provision of this Agreement should be held to be void, voidable, unlawful or for any reason unenforceable, the remaining provisions or portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

 
 6 

  
 11.  Miscellaneous Terms.    Each of the
parties to this Agreement further represents, warrants, and agrees as follows: 
  
 11.1  Independent Advice From Counsel.    To the extent it or he deems necessary or advisable, each of the parties has received prior independent legal advice from legal counsel of his or its
choice with respect to the advisability of making the settlement provided for in this Agreement and with respect to the advisability of executing this Agreement. 
  
 11.2  Knowing and Voluntary Consent.    Each of the parties has read the Agreement carefully, knows and understands the
contents of this Agreement, and has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to the settlement and this Agreement and of all matters pertaining to this Agreement as Cude or the Company deem necessary or desirable. 
  
 11.3  Negotiated Agreement.    The terms of this Agreement are contractual, not a
mere recital, and are the result of negotiations between the parties. 
  
 11.4  Non-Interference and Non-Disparagement.    Each party agrees that such party will not take any action that would interfere with the performance of this Agreement by any of the parties to
this Agreement or that would adversely affect the rights provided for in this Agreement. Each party further agrees not to directly or indirectly disparage any of the other parties to this Agreement, including, in the case of the Company, its
present, former and future officers, directors, employees, shareholders and other related or affiliated individuals, and its related or affiliated entities and the present, former and future officers, directors, employees shareholders and other
related or affiliated individuals thereof. 
  
 11.5  Authority.    The corporate officer of the Company reviewing and executing the Agreement has been duly authorized and empowered by the Company to do so. 
  
 11.6  Construction.    Whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender shall
include the feminine or neuter gender, and singular number shall include the plural number, and vice versa. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by California law without giving effect to the choice of law rules thereof.

  
 11.7  Disputed Rights.    The parties explicitly acknowledge
and covenant that this Agreement represents a settlement and compromise of disputed rights, claims and defenses, and that, by entering into this Agreement, no party to this Agreement admits or acknowledges the existence of facts which would impact
negatively on the resolution of the party’s pleadings, if any, and no party admits or acknowledges any liability, wrongdoing, or negligence, all such liability, wrongdoing or negligence being expressly denied. No provision of this Agreement, or
of any related document, shall be construed as an admission or concession of liability, any wrongdoing, negligence or of any preexisting liability. Moreover, the parties acknowledge explicitly that neither the conduct of, nor statements made during,
the negotiations, nor the settlement nor the resolution of this matter will in any way make it more likely that any party hereto would testify in any subsequent proceeding in a manner favorable or unfavorable to the interests of the other party.

 
 7 

  
 11.8  Mistake in Facts/Voluntary
Consent.    The parties hereby expressly and knowingly acknowledge that each may, after the execution of this Agreement, discover facts different from or in addition to those which each now knows or believes to be true with
respect to the claims released in this Agreement. Nonetheless, each party agrees that this Agreement shall be and remain in full force and effect in all respects, notwithstanding such different or additional facts. It is the intention hereby fully,
finally, and forever to settle and release all such matters, and any and all claims relating to those matters, which do now exist, may exist, or previously have existed by and among the parties, including without limitation claims arising out of,
related to, or connected with the matters referenced in paragraphs 2 and 3 above, and any and all facts in any manner arising out of, related to, or connected with those claims or Cude’s employment with or termination of
employment from the Company. In furtherance of such intention, the releases given in this Agreement shall be and remain in effect as full and completed releases of such matters, notwithstanding the discovery by any of the parties of the existence of
any additional or different claims or facts relating to the claims. Similarly, in entering into this Agreement, each party assumes the risk of misrepresentations, concealments, or mistakes, and if any party should subsequently discover that any fact
he or it relied upon in entering into this Agreement was untrue, that any fact was concealed from him or it, or that his or its understanding of the facts or law was incorrect, such party shall not be entitled to set aside this Agreement or the
settlement reflected in this Agreement or be entitled to recover any damages on that account. This Agreement is intended, pursuant to the advice of independently selected legal counsel, to be final and binding between and among the
parties to this Agreement regardless of any claims of misrepresentations, or promises made without the intention of performance, or concealments of facts, or mistakes of fact or law, or of any other circumstances whatsoever. 
  
 11.9  Paragraph Descriptions.    The use of headings in this Agreement is only for
ease of reference and the headings have no effect and are not considered to be part or terms of this Agreement. 
  
 11.10  Execution in Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or in any number of counterparts or copies (“counterpart”) by the parties to this
Agreement. When each party has signed and delivered at least one counterpart to each other party to this Agreement, each counterpart shall be deemed an original and, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement, which shall be binding
and effective as to the parties to this Agreement.

 9Amended Stock Option Plan

  EXHIBIT 10.15
 CENTENNIAL FIRST FINANCIAL SERVICES
 2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN
 Adopted
September 21, 2001
 Amended February 20, 2002
 Purpose.  The purpose of the 2001 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) is to strengthen CENTENNIAL FIRST FINANCIAL
SERVICES (the “Company”) and those corporations which are or hereafter become subsidiary corporations of the Company, within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), by
providing to participating employees and directors added incentive for high levels of performance and for unusual efforts to increase the earnings of the Company and its subsidiary corporations.  The Plan seeks to accomplish those purposes and
results by providing a means whereby such employees and directors may purchase shares of the common stock of the Company pursuant to (a) options granted pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) (Division A hereof)
which will qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code (“Incentive Options”), or (b) options granted pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Non-Qualified Plan”) (Division B hereof) which are
intended to be non-qualified stock options described in Treas. Reg. §1.83-7 to which Section 421 of the Code does not apply (“Non-Qualified Options”).  (Hereinafter, the term “Options” shall refer collectively to
Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options.)
 Administration.  This Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”).  Any action of the Board of Directors with respect to
administration of the Plan shall be taken pursuant to a majority vote of its members;  provided, however, that with respect to action by the Board of Directors in granting an option to an individual director, such action must be authorized by
the required number of directors without counting the interested director, who shall abstain as to any vote on his option.  An interested director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors
where such action will be taken.
                The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, establish a Stock Option Committee composed of not
fewer than three (3) persons who must be directors of the Company and, by appropriate resolution, delegate to the Stock Option Committee such power and authority over the administration of the Plan as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. 
Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors from delegating to the Stock Option Committee full power and authority over the administration of the Plan.
                Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall have the
authority to construe and interpret the Plan, and to define the terms used therein, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to administration of the Plan, to determine the duration and purposes of leaves of absence which may
be granted to participants without constituting a termination of their employment for purposes of the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, compliance with
Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Determinations of the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) on matters referred to in this section shall be final and
conclusive.

  
  Participation; Limitation on Amount of Outstanding Options.  All salaried officers and employees of the Company and
its subsidiary corporations shall be eligible for selection to receive both Incentive and Non-Qualified Options.  Directors of the Company and its subsidiary corporations who are not also salaried officers or employees of the Company or a
subsidiary corporation shall be eligible to receive only Non-Qualified Options under the Plan.  Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall select from the eligible
class and determine the individuals who shall receive Options, whether such Options shall be Incentive or Non-Qualified Options, and the terms and provisions of the Options (which need not be identical), and shall grant such Options to such
individuals.  An individual who has been granted an Option (an “Optionee”) may, if such individual is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options if the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall so
determine.
 Stock Subject to the Plan.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 hereof, the stock to be offered under the Plan shall be shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock, no par value
(hereinafter called “stock”), and the aggregate amount of stock to be delivered upon exercise of all Options granted under the Plan, whether Incentive or Non-Qualified Options, shall not exceed  Three Hundred Forty-Three Thousand
Three Hundred Thirty-Two (343,332) shares.  If any Option shall expire for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be available for purposes of the Plan.
 Option
Price.  The purchase price of stock subject to each Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of such
stock at the time such Option is granted.  As to any Incentive Option granted to an Optionee who, immediately before the Option is granted, owns beneficially more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding stock of the Company, the purchase
price must be at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of the stock at the time when such Option is granted.  The fair market value of such stock shall be determined in accordance with any reasonable valuation method,
including the valuation methods described in Treas. Reg. §20.2031-2.  The purchase price of any shares purchased shall be paid in full in cash at the time of each such purchase.
 Option Period.  Each Option and all rights or
obligations thereunder shall expire on such date as the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) may determine, but not later than ten (10) years from the date such Option is granted, and shall be subject to earlier
termination as provided elsewhere in the Plan.  As to any Incentive Option granted to an Optionee who, immediately before the option is granted, owns beneficially more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding stock of the Company (whether
acquired upon exercise of Options or otherwise), such option must not be exercisable by its terms after five (5) years from the date of its grant.
 Continuation of Employment.  In the case of employees, nothing contained in the Plan
(or in any Option agreement) shall obligate the Company or its subsidiary corporations to employ any Optionee for any period or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its subsidiary corporations to reduce such Optionee’s
compensation.
 Exercise of Options.  Each Option shall be exercisable in such installments, which need not be equal, and upon such conditions as the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall determine;
provided, however, that if an Optionee shall not in any given installment period purchase all of the shares which such Optionee is entitled to purchase in such installment period, such Optionee’s right to purchase any shares not purchased in
such installment period shall continue until the expiration of such Option.  No Option or installment thereof shall be exercisable except with respect to whole shares, and fractional share interests shall be disregarded
 2

  
  except that they may be accumulated in accordance with the next preceding sentence.  Options may be exercised by ten (10)
days written notice delivered to the Company stating the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, together with cash in the amount of the purchase price for such shares.  No fewer than ten (10) shares may be
purchased at one time unless the number purchased is the total number which may be purchased under the Option.  As a condition to the exercise of a Non-Qualified Option, in whole or in part, by an Optionee who is an employee of the Company (or
who was an employee during the term of the option) the Optionee shall be required to pay to the Company, in addition to the purchase price for the shares being exercised, an amount equal to any taxes required to be withheld by the Company in order
to enable the Company to claim a deduction in connection with the exercise of the Option.
                Options may also be exercised by delivering to the Company (i) an
exercise notice instructing the Company to deliver the certificates for the shares purchased to a designated brokerage firm which shall sell the stock in the market as soon as the Option is exercised; and (ii) a copy of irrevocable instructions
delivered to the brokerage firm to sell the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option and to deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds sufficient cash to pay the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes arising as a result of the
exercise, with the balance of the sales proceeds, if any, after payment of any broker’s commission, credited to the Optionee’s brokerage account.
                The Company may require any Optionee, or any person to whom an Option is transferred under Section 9 hereof, as a condition of
exercising any such Option, to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is acquiring the stock subject to the Option for such person’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise
distributing the stock.  The requirement of providing written assurances, and any assurances given pursuant to the requirement, shall be inoperative if (i) the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Option have been registered under a
then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such written assurances are not required in the circumstances under the then applicable
federal securities laws.
 Nontransferability of Options.  Each Option shall, by its terms, be nontransferable by the Optionee, other than by Will or the laws of descent and distribution,
and shall be exercisable during such Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.
 Cessation of Employment; Disability.  Except as provided in Sections 6 and 11 hereof, if an Optionee ceases to be employed by or to serve as a
director of the Company or a subsidiary corporation for any reason other than death or disability, such Optionee’s Option shall expire ninety (90) days thereafter, and during such period after such Optionee ceases to be an employee or director,
such Option shall be exercisable only as to those shares with respect to which installments, if any, had accrued as of the date on which the Optionee ceased to be employed by or ceased to serve as a director of the Company or such subsidiary
corporation.  Except as provided in Sections 6 and 11 hereof, if an Optionee ceases to be employed by or ceases to serve as a director of the Company or a subsidiary corporation by reason of disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code), such Optionee’s Option shall expire not later than one (1) year thereafter, and during such period after such Optionee ceases to be an employee or director such Option shall be exercisable only as to those shares with respect to
which installments, if any, had accrued as of the date on which the Optionee ceased to be employed by or ceased to serve as a director of the Company or such subsidiary corporation.
 3

  
  Termination of Employment for Cause.  If an Optionee’s employment by or service as a director
of the Company or a subsidiary corporation is terminated for cause, such Optionee’s Option shall expire immediately; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, within thirty (30) days of such termination, waive
the expiration of the Option by giving written notice of such waiver to the Optionee at such Optionee’s last known address.  In the event of such waiver, the Optionee may exercise the Option only to such extent, for such time, and upon
such terms and conditions as if such Optionee had ceased to be employed by or ceased to serve as a director of the Company or such subsidiary corporation upon the date of such termination for a reason other than cause, disability, or death.  In
the case of an employee, termination for cause shall include termination for malfeasance or gross misfeasance in the performance of duties, conviction of illegal activity in connection therewith, any conduct seriously detrimental to the interests of
the Company or a subsidiary corporation, or removal pursuant to the exercise of regulatory authority by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”) or any applicable bank supervisory agency; and, in any event, the
determination of the Board of Directors with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive.  In the case of a director, termination for cause shall include removal pursuant to Sections 302 or 304 of the California Corporations Code or removal
pursuant to the exercise of regulatory authority by the FRB or any applicable bank supervisory agency.
 Death of Optionee.  Except as provided in Section 6 hereof, if any Optionee dies while employed by or serving as a director of the
Company or a subsidiary corporation or during the 90-day or one-year period referred to in Section 10 hereof, such Optionee’s Option shall expire one (1) year after the date of such death.  After such death but before such expiration, the
persons to whom the Optionee’s rights under the Option shall have passed by Will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise such Option to the extent that installments, if any, had accrued as of the
date on which the Optionee ceased to be employed by or ceased to serve as a director of the Company or such subsidiary corporation.
 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  If the outstanding shares of the stock of the Company
are increased, decreased, or changed into, or exchanged for a different number or class of shares or securities of the Company, without receipt of consideration by the Company, through reorganization, merger, recapitalization, reclassification,
stock split-up, stock dividend, stock consolidation, or otherwise, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in the number and class of shares as to which Options may be granted.  A corresponding adjustment changing the number
or class of shares and the exercise price per share allocated to unexercised Options, or portions thereof, which shall have been granted prior to any such change shall likewise be made.  Any such adjustment, however, in an outstanding Option
shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option but with a corresponding adjustment in the price for each share subject to the Option.  No fractional shares of stock shall be issued under the
Plan on account of any such adjustment.
 Terminating Events.  Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a “Terminating Event” as defined below, the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall notify
each Optionee of the pendency of the Terminating Event.  Upon delivery of said notice, any Option granted prior to the Terminating Event shall be, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8 hereof, exercisable in full and not only as to those
shares with respect to which installments, if any, have then accrued, subject, however, to earlier expiration or termination as provided elsewhere in the Plan, and further subject to the condition that the Terminating Event in fact occurs. 
Optionees shall then be entitled to exercise any Options or portions thereof commencing on the tenth (10th) day, and ending on the third (3rd) day, prior to the Terminating Event, or at such other times as
 4

  
  may be specified by the Board of Directors in connection with the Terminating Event.  Upon the effective date of the
Terminating Event, the Plan and any Options granted thereunder shall terminate, unless (i) provision is made in connection with the Terminating Event for assumption of Options theretofore granted, or substitution for such Options of new options
covering stock of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary corporation thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and class of shares and prices, or (ii) in the case of a “change in control” as defined below,
the Board of Directors in its sole discretion determines prior to the effective date of the Terminating Event that all outstanding Options and the Plan itself should continue in full force and effect.  In the case of such a determination by the
Board of Directors, or in the event that any pending Terminating Event does not occur, the Plan and all outstanding Options thereunder shall continue in force with all original vesting schedules in effect.

               For purposes of this Section 14, a “Terminating Event” shall include: (i) a reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more
corporations as a result of which the Company will not be the surviving corporation, (ii) a sale of substantially all the assets and property of the Company to another person, corporation or entity, or (iii) a “change in control,” i.e.,
any other single transaction involving the Company (such as a tender offer) where there is a change in ownership of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s outstanding shares, unless such change in ownership results from (i) a
transfer of shares to another corporation in exchange for at least eighty percent (80%) control of that corporation, (ii) the issuance of additional shares of stock by the Company in a secondary stock offering, private placement or similar
transaction, or (iii) any acquisition in which the Company will be the surviving entity.  
 Acceleration of Options.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8 hereof or any
provision to the contrary contained in any Option agreement, the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized), in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or any Option then outstanding.  The decision by the
Board of Directors to accelerate an Option or to decline to accelerate an Option shall be final.  In the event of the acceleration of the exercisability of Options as the result of a decision by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section
15, each outstanding Option so accelerated shall be exercisable for a period from and after the date of such acceleration and upon such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion, provided that such
terms and conditions (other than terms and conditions relating solely to the acceleration of exercisability and the related termination of an Option) may not adversely affect the rights of any Participant without the consent of the Participant so
adversely affected.  Any outstanding Option which has not been exercised by the holder at the end of such period shall terminate automatically at that time.
 Amendment and Termination by Board of Directors.  The Board of
Directors may at any time suspend, amend, or terminate the Plan and may, with the consent of an Optionee, make such modification of the terms and conditions of such Optionee’s Option as it shall deem advisable; provided that, except as
permitted under the provisions of Section 13 hereof, any amendment or modification which would:
 increase the maximum number of shares which may be purchased pursuant to Options granted under the Plan;
 change the minimum option price;
 increase the maximum term of Options provided for herein; or
 5

  
  permit Options to be granted to anyone other than a director or a salaried officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary
corporation,
 requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders as described below.  Any amendment or modification requiring shareholder approval shall be deemed adopted as of the date of
the action of the Board of Directors effecting such amendment or modification and shall be effective immediately, unless otherwise provided therein, subject to approval thereof within twelve (12) months  before or after the effective date by
shareholders of the Company holding not less than a majority of the voting power of the Company; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may amend the Plan in toto without shareholder approval if the Plan has not yet been approved by the
shareholders.
                Notwithstanding the above, the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized
to do so) may grant to an Optionee, if such Optionee is otherwise eligible, additional Options or, with the consent of the Optionee, grant a new Option in lieu of an outstanding Option for a number of shares, at a purchase price and for a term which
in any respect is greater or less than that of the earlier Option, subject to the limitations of Sections 5, 6 and A 2 hereof.  
                No Option may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.  Amendment, suspension, or termination
of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option outstanding prior to such amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan.
 Time of Granting Options.  The time an Option is granted, sometimes referred to as the date of grant, shall be the day of the action of the Board of Directors (or action of the Stock Option Committee, if authorized
to take such action) described in the second sentence of Section 2 hereof; provided, however, that if appropriate resolutions of the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized to grant options) indicate that an Option is to be
granted as of and on some future date, the time such Option is granted shall be such future date.  If action by the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized to take such action) is taken by the unanimous written consent
of its members, the action of the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee) shall be deemed to be at the time the last Board (or Stock Option Committee) member signs the consent.
 Privileges of Stock Ownership; Securities Laws
Compliance; Notice of Sale.  No Optionee shall be entitled to the privileges of stock ownership as to any shares of stock not actually issued and delivered.  No shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any Option unless and until
any then applicable requirements of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and of any exchanges upon which stock of the Company may be listed, shall have been complied with fully.  The Company will diligently endeavor to comply with all
applicable securities laws before any Options are granted under the Plan and before any stock is issued pursuant to Options.  The Company intends to register the underlying shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within one year of the date the Plan is adopted.  All Optionees shall agree to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with any sale or other disposition of such
common stock.  Additionally, all Optionees shall give the Company notice of any sale or other disposition of any such shares not more than five (5) days after such sale or other disposition.
 6

  
  Effective Date of the Plan.  The Plan shall be deemed adopted as of the date first shown herein and shall be
effective immediately, subject to approval hereof within twelve (12) months before or after said date by shareholders holding not less than a majority of the voting power of the Company.
 Termination.  Unless previously terminated by
the Board of Directors or as provided in Section 14 hereof, the Plan shall terminate at the close of business on September 21, 2011 and no Options shall be granted under it thereafter, but such termination shall not affect any Option theretofore
granted.
 Option Agreement.  Each Option shall be evidenced by a written stock option agreement executed by the Company and the Optionee and shall contain each of the provisions and agreements herein specifically required to be
contained therein, including whether the Option is an Incentive Option or Non-Qualified Option, and such other terms and conditions as are deemed desirable and are not inconsistent with the Plan.
 Exculpation and Indemnification.  The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee), in any action brought against such member or members to the maximum extent permitted by then applicable law and the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and any amendments thereto.
 DIVISION A
 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 A-1.          Eligible Persons.  All salaried officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiary corporations shall be eligible for selection to participate in the
Incentive Plan.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no director of the Company or a subsidiary corporation who is not a salaried employee of the Company or a subsidiary corporation and no member of the Stock
Option Committee may be granted options under the Incentive Plan.
 A-2.          Limit on Exercisability of Options.  The aggregate fair market
value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of the stock for which any salaried officer or employee may be granted Incentive Options which are first exercisable during any one calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option Plans of such
employee’s employer and its parent and subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
 A-3.         
Incorporation by Reference.  The provisions of Sections 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 16  and 20 of the Plan are hereby incorporated by this reference into this Incentive Stock Option Plan.
 A-4.          Interpretation of Plan.  Options granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan are intended to be “incentive stock options” within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code, and the Incentive Plan shall be construed to implement that intent.  If all or any part of an Incentive Option
 7

  
  shall not be deemed an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, said Option shall
nevertheless be valid and carried into effect as a Non-Qualified Option.
 DIVISION B
 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN
                B-1.     Eligible Persons.  All salaried officers and employees and all directors of the Company and its
subsidiary corporations shall be eligible for selection to participate in the Non-Qualified Plan.
                B-2.     Interpretation of Plan.  Options granted pursuant to the Non-Qualified Plan are intended to be
non-qualified stock options described in Treas. Reg. §1.83-7 to which Section 421 of the Code does not apply, and the Non-Qualified Plan shall be construed to implement that intent.
 CENTENNIAL FIRST FINANCIAL SERVICES
 2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN
 Adopted September 21, 2001
 Amended February 20, 2002
 Purpose.  The purpose of the 2001 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) is to strengthen
CENTENNIAL FIRST FINANCIAL SERVICES (the “Company”) and those corporations which are or hereafter become subsidiary corporations of the Company, within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), by providing to participating employees and directors added incentive for high levels of performance and for unusual efforts to increase the earnings of the Company and its subsidiary corporations.  The Plan seeks to
accomplish those purposes and results by providing a means whereby such employees and directors may purchase shares of the common stock of the Company pursuant to (a) options granted pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Incentive
Plan”) (Division A hereof) which will qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code (“Incentive Options”), or (b) options granted pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Non-Qualified Plan”)
(Division B hereof) which are intended to be non-qualified stock options described in Treas. Reg.
 8

  
  §1.83-7 to which Section 421 of the Code does not apply (“Non-Qualified Options”).  (Hereinafter, the term
“Options” shall refer collectively to Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options.)
 Administration.  This Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”).  Any
action of the Board of Directors with respect to administration of the Plan shall be taken pursuant to a majority vote of its members;  provided, however, that with respect to action by the Board of Directors in granting an option to an
individual director, such action must be authorized by the required number of directors without counting the interested director, who shall abstain as to any vote on his option.  An interested director may be counted in determining the presence
of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors where such action will be taken.
                The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, from time to time,
establish a Stock Option Committee composed of not fewer than three (3) persons who must be directors of the Company and, by appropriate resolution, delegate to the Stock Option Committee such power and authority over the administration of the Plan
as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.  Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors from delegating to the Stock Option Committee full power and authority over the administration of the Plan.
                Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall have the
authority to construe and interpret the Plan, and to define the terms used therein, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to administration of the Plan, to determine the duration and purposes of leaves of absence which may
be granted to participants without constituting a termination of their employment for purposes of the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, compliance with
Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Determinations of the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) on matters referred to in this section shall be final and
conclusive.
 Participation; Limitation on Amount of Outstanding Options.  All salaried officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiary corporations shall be eligible for selection
to receive both Incentive and Non-Qualified Options.  Directors of the Company and its subsidiary corporations who are not also salaried officers or employees of the Company or a subsidiary corporation shall be eligible to receive only
Non-Qualified Options under the Plan.  Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall select from the eligible class and determine the individuals who shall receive
Options, whether such Options shall be Incentive or Non-Qualified Options, and the terms and provisions of the Options (which need not be identical), and shall grant such Options to such individuals.  An individual who has been granted an
Option (an “Optionee”) may, if such individual is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options if the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall so determine.
 Stock Subject to the Plan. 
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 hereof, the stock to be offered under the Plan shall be shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock, no par value (hereinafter called “stock”), and the aggregate amount
of stock to be delivered upon exercise of all Options granted under the Plan, whether Incentive or Non-Qualified Options, shall not exceed  Three Hundred Forty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Two (343,332) shares.  If any Option shall
expire for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased
 9

  
  shares subject thereto shall again be available for purposes of the Plan.
 Option Price.  The purchase price of
stock subject to each Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of such stock at the time such Option is
granted.  As to any Incentive Option granted to an Optionee who, immediately before the Option is granted, owns beneficially more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding stock of the Company, the purchase price must be at least one hundred
ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of the stock at the time when such Option is granted.  The fair market value of such stock shall be determined in accordance with any reasonable valuation method, including the valuation methods
described in Treas. Reg. §20.2031-2.  The purchase price of any shares purchased shall be paid in full in cash at the time of each such purchase.
 Option Period.  Each Option and all rights or obligations thereunder shall
expire on such date as the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) may determine, but not later than ten (10) years from the date such Option is granted, and shall be subject to earlier termination as provided elsewhere in
the Plan.  As to any Incentive Option granted to an Optionee who, immediately before the option is granted, owns beneficially more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding stock of the Company (whether acquired upon exercise of Options or
otherwise), such option must not be exercisable by its terms after five (5) years from the date of its grant.
 Continuation of Employment.  In the case of employees, nothing contained in the Plan (or in any Option agreement) shall
obligate the Company or its subsidiary corporations to employ any Optionee for any period or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its subsidiary corporations to reduce such Optionee’s compensation.
 Exercise of
Options.  Each Option shall be exercisable in such installments, which need not be equal, and upon such conditions as the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall determine; provided, however, that if an
Optionee shall not in any given installment period purchase all of the shares which such Optionee is entitled to purchase in such installment period, such Optionee’s right to purchase any shares not purchased in such installment period shall
continue until the expiration of such Option.  No Option or installment thereof shall be exercisable except with respect to whole shares, and fractional share interests shall be disregarded except that they may be accumulated in accordance with
the next preceding sentence.  Options may be exercised by ten (10) days written notice delivered to the Company stating the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, together with cash in the amount of the purchase
price for such shares.  No fewer than ten (10) shares may be purchased at one time unless the number purchased is the total number which may be purchased under the Option.  As a condition to the exercise of a Non-Qualified Option, in whole
or in part, by an Optionee who is an employee of the Company (or who was an employee during the term of the option) the Optionee shall be required to pay to the Company, in addition to the purchase price for the shares being exercised, an amount
equal to any taxes required to be withheld by the Company in order to enable the Company to claim a deduction in connection with the exercise of the Option.

               Options may also be exercised by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice instructing the Company to deliver the certificates for the shares purchased
to a designated brokerage firm which shall sell the stock in the market as soon as the Option is exercised; and (ii) a copy of irrevocable instructions delivered to the brokerage firm to sell the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option and to
deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds sufficient cash to pay the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes arising as a result of the exercise, with the balance of the sales proceeds, if any, after payment of any broker’s
commission, credited to the Optionee’s brokerage account.
 10

  
                 The Company may require any Optionee,
or any person to whom an Option is transferred under Section 9 hereof, as a condition of exercising any such Option, to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is acquiring the stock subject to the Option for
such person’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock.  The requirement of providing written assurances, and any assurances given pursuant to the requirement, shall be inoperative if
(i) the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Option have been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) a determination is made by counsel for the Company that
such written assurances are not required in the circumstances under the then applicable federal securities laws.
 Nontransferability of Options.  Each Option shall, by its terms, be
nontransferable by the Optionee, other than by Will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during such Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.
 Cessation of Employment; Disability.  Except as provided
in Sections 6 and 11 hereof, if an Optionee ceases to be employed by or to serve as a director of the Company or a subsidiary corporation for any reason other than death or disability, such Optionee’s Option shall expire ninety (90) days
thereafter, and during such period after such Optionee ceases to be an employee or director, such Option shall be exercisable only as to those shares with respect to which installments, if any, had accrued as of the date on which the Optionee ceased
to be employed by or ceased to serve as a director of the Company or such subsidiary corporation.  Except as provided in Sections 6 and 11 hereof, if an Optionee ceases to be employed by or ceases to serve as a director of the Company or a
subsidiary corporation by reason of disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), such Optionee’s Option shall expire not later than one (1) year thereafter, and during such period after such Optionee ceases to be an employee
or director such Option shall be exercisable only as to those shares with respect to which installments, if any, had accrued as of the date on which the Optionee ceased to be employed by or ceased to serve as a director of the Company or such
subsidiary corporation.
 Termination of Employment for Cause.  If an Optionee’s employment by or service as a director of the Company or a subsidiary corporation is terminated for cause, such Optionee’s Option shall expire
immediately; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, within thirty (30) days of such termination, waive the expiration of the Option by giving written notice of such waiver to the Optionee at such Optionee’s
last known address.  In the event of such waiver, the Optionee may exercise the Option only to such extent, for such time, and upon such terms and conditions as if such Optionee had ceased to be employed by or ceased to serve as a director of
the Company or such subsidiary corporation upon the date of such termination for a reason other than cause, disability, or death.  In the case of an employee, termination for cause shall include termination for malfeasance or gross misfeasance
in the performance of duties, conviction of illegal activity in connection therewith, any conduct seriously detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary corporation, or removal pursuant to the exercise of regulatory authority by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”) or any applicable bank supervisory agency; and, in any event, the determination of the Board of Directors with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive.  In the case of
a director, termination for cause shall include removal pursuant to Sections 302 or 304 of the California Corporations Code or removal pursuant to the exercise of regulatory authority by the FRB or any applicable bank supervisory agency.

Death of Optionee.  Except as provided in Section 6 hereof, if any Optionee dies while employed
 11

  
  by or serving as a director of the Company or a subsidiary corporation or during the 90-day or one-year period referred to in
Section 10 hereof, such Optionee’s Option shall expire one (1) year after the date of such death.  After such death but before such expiration, the persons to whom the Optionee’s rights under the Option shall have passed by Will or by
the applicable laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise such Option to the extent that installments, if any, had accrued as of the date on which the Optionee ceased to be employed by or ceased to serve as a director of the
Company or such subsidiary corporation.
 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  If the outstanding shares of the stock of the Company are increased, decreased, or changed into, or exchanged for a different number or class of
shares or securities of the Company, without receipt of consideration by the Company, through reorganization, merger, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, stock dividend, stock consolidation, or otherwise, an appropriate and
proportionate adjustment shall be made in the number and class of shares as to which Options may be granted.  A corresponding adjustment changing the number or class of shares and the exercise price per share allocated to unexercised Options,
or portions thereof, which shall have been granted prior to any such change shall likewise be made.  Any such adjustment, however, in an outstanding Option shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of
the Option but with a corresponding adjustment in the price for each share subject to the Option.  No fractional shares of stock shall be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustment.
 Terminating Events.  Not less
than thirty (30) days prior to a “Terminating Event” as defined below, the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized) shall notify each Optionee of the pendency of the Terminating Event.  Upon delivery of said
notice, any Option granted prior to the Terminating Event shall be, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8 hereof, exercisable in full and not only as to those shares with respect to which installments, if any, have then accrued, subject,
however, to earlier expiration or termination as provided elsewhere in the Plan, and further subject to the condition that the Terminating Event in fact occurs.  Optionees shall then be entitled to exercise any Options or portions thereof
commencing on the tenth (10th) day, and ending on the third (3rd) day, prior to the Terminating Event, or at such other times as may be specified by the Board of Directors in connection with the Terminating Event.  Upon the effective date of
the Terminating Event, the Plan and any Options granted thereunder shall terminate, unless (i) provision is made in connection with the Terminating Event for assumption of Options theretofore granted, or substitution for such Options of new options
covering stock of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary corporation thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and class of shares and prices, or (ii) in the case of a “change in control” as defined below,
the Board of Directors in its sole discretion determines prior to the effective date of the Terminating Event that all outstanding Options and the Plan itself should continue in full force and effect.  In the case of such a determination by the
Board of Directors, or in the event that any pending Terminating Event does not occur, the Plan and all outstanding Options thereunder shall continue in force with all original vesting schedules in effect.

               For purposes of this Section 14, a “Terminating Event” shall include: (i) a reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more
corporations as a result of which the Company will not be the surviving corporation, (ii) a sale of substantially all the assets and property of the Company to another person, corporation or entity, or (iii) a “change in control,” i.e.,
any other single transaction involving the Company (such as a tender offer) where there is a change in ownership of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s outstanding shares, unless such change in ownership results from (i) a
transfer of shares to another corporation in exchange for at least eighty percent (80%) control of that corporation, (ii) the issuance of additional shares of stock by the Company in
 12

  
  a secondary stock offering, private placement or similar transaction, or (iii) any acquisition in which the Company will be the
surviving entity.  
 Acceleration of Options.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8 hereof or any provision to the contrary contained in any Option agreement, the Board of
Directors (or the Stock Option Committee, if authorized), in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or any Option then outstanding.  The decision by the Board of Directors to accelerate an Option or to decline to accelerate an
Option shall be final.  In the event of the acceleration of the exercisability of Options as the result of a decision by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 15, each outstanding Option so accelerated shall be exercisable for a
period from and after the date of such acceleration and upon such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion, provided that such terms and conditions (other than terms and conditions relating solely to
the acceleration of exercisability and the related termination of an Option) may not adversely affect the rights of any Participant without the consent of the Participant so adversely affected.  Any outstanding Option which has not been
exercised by the holder at the end of such period shall terminate automatically at that time.
 Amendment and Termination by Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors may at any time suspend, amend, or terminate the Plan and may,
with the consent of an Optionee, make such modification of the terms and conditions of such Optionee’s Option as it shall deem advisable; provided that, except as permitted under the provisions of Section 13 hereof, any amendment or
modification which would:
 increase the maximum number of shares which may be purchased pursuant to Options granted under the Plan;
 change the minimum option price;
 increase the maximum term of Options provided for herein; or
 permit Options to be granted to anyone other than a director or a salaried officer or employee of the Company or a
subsidiary corporation,
 requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders as described below.  Any amendment or modification requiring shareholder approval shall be deemed adopted as of
the date of the action of the Board of Directors effecting such amendment or modification and shall be effective immediately, unless otherwise provided therein, subject to approval thereof within twelve (12) months  before or after the
effective date by shareholders of the Company holding not less than a majority of the voting power of the Company; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may amend the Plan in toto without shareholder approval if the Plan has not yet been
approved by the shareholders.
                Notwithstanding the above, the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option
Committee, if authorized to do so) may grant to an Optionee, if such Optionee is otherwise eligible, additional Options or, with the consent of the Optionee, grant a new Option in lieu of an outstanding Option for a number of shares, at a purchase
price and for a term which in any respect is greater or less than that of the earlier Option, subject to the limitations of Sections 5, 6 and A 2 hereof.  
 13

  
                 No Option may be granted during any
suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.  Amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option outstanding prior to such
amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan.
 Time of Granting Options.  The time an Option is granted, sometimes referred to as the date of grant, shall be the day of the action of
the Board of Directors (or action of the Stock Option Committee, if authorized to take such action) described in the second sentence of Section 2 hereof; provided, however, that if appropriate resolutions of the Board of Directors (or the Stock
Option Committee, if authorized to grant options) indicate that an Option is to be granted as of and on some future date, the time such Option is granted shall be such future date.  If action by the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option
Committee, if authorized to take such action) is taken by the unanimous written consent of its members, the action of the Board of Directors (or the Stock Option Committee) shall be deemed to be at the time the last Board (or Stock Option Committee)
member signs the consent.
 Privileges of Stock Ownership; Securities Laws Compliance; Notice of Sale.  No Optionee shall be entitled to the privileges of stock ownership as to any shares of stock not actually issued and
delivered.  No shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any Option unless and until any then applicable requirements of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and of any exchanges upon which stock of the Company may be listed, shall
have been complied with fully.  The Company will diligently endeavor to comply with all applicable securities laws before any Options are granted under the Plan and before any stock is issued pursuant to Options.  The Company intends to
register the underlying shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within one year of the date the Plan is adopted.  All Optionees shall agree to comply with all applicable
federal and state securities laws in connection with any sale or other disposition of such common stock.  Additionally, all Optionees shall give the Company notice of any sale or other disposition of any such shares not more than five (5) days
after such sale or other disposition.
 Effective Date of the Plan.  The Plan shall be deemed adopted as of the date first shown herein and shall be effective immediately, subject to approval hereof within twelve (12) months before or
after said date by shareholders holding not less than a majority of the voting power of the Company.
 Termination.  Unless previously terminated by the Board of Directors or as provided in Section 14 hereof, the Plan shall terminate
at the close of business on September 21, 2011 and no Options shall be granted under it thereafter, but such termination shall not affect any Option theretofore granted.
 Option Agreement.  Each Option shall be evidenced by a written
stock option agreement executed by the Company and the Optionee and shall contain each of the provisions and agreements herein specifically required to be contained therein, including whether the Option is an Incentive Option or Non-Qualified
Option, and such other terms and conditions as are deemed desirable and are not inconsistent with the Plan.
 Exculpation and Indemnification.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Board of Directors (or the
Stock Option Committee), in any action brought against such member or members to the maximum extent permitted by then applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and any amendments thereto.

Option Committee may be granted options under the Incentive Plan.
 A-6.          Limit on Exercisability of Options.  The aggregate fair market
value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of the stock for which any salaried officer or employee may be granted Incentive Options which are first exercisable during any one calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option Plans of such
employee’s employer and its parent and subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
 A-7.         
Incorporation by Reference.  The provisions of Sections 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 16  and 20 of the Plan are hereby incorporated by this reference into this Incentive Stock Option Plan.
 A-8.          Interpretation of Plan.  Options granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan are intended to be “incentive stock options” within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code, and the Incentive Plan shall be construed to implement that intent.  If all or any part of an Incentive Option shall not be deemed an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code,
said Option shall nevertheless be valid and carried into effect as a Non-Qualified Option.
 DIVISION B

      B-3.     Eligible Persons.  All salaried officers and employees and all directors of the Company and its subsidiary corporations shall be eligible for selection to
participate in the Non-Qualified Plan.
      B-4.     Interpretation of Plan.  Options granted pursuant to the Non-Qualified Plan are intended
to be non-qualified stock options described in Treas. Reg. §1.83-7 to which Section 421 of the Code does not apply, and the Non-Qualified Plan shall be construed to implement that intent.
