AMENDMENT NO. 1
                             TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT to the Employment  Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into as of
March 27, 1996 by and between SJNB Financial Corp. and San Jose National Bank, a
national banking  association  ("Employer"),  and James R. Kenny ("Employee") is
made and entered into effective July __, 2000.

RECITALS  WHEREAS,  Employer  and  Employee  have  entered  into  the  Agreement
governing the employment of Employee and now wish to amend the  Agreement;  NOW,
THEREFORE,  in consideration  of the mutual  covenants and agreements  contained
herein, the Employer and Employee hereby agree as follows:

1.   Paragraph  13(c)  shall be  amended  in its  entirety  to read as  follows:
     "Personal  Insurance.  Employer  shall  provide  during  the  term  of this
     Agreement,  at  Employer's  sole cost,  a policy or  policies  of term life
     insurance  coverage in the amount of Two  Hundred  Fifty  Thousand  Dollars
     ($250,000)  and  group  life,   health  (including   medical,   dental  and
     hospitalization),  accident and disability  insurance coverage for Employee
     and his dependents either through a policy or policies of standard coverage
     provided  by an  insurer  or  insurers  selected  by  Employer  in its sole
     discretion. In the event of a termination of Employee's employment pursuant
     to paragraph 16(b) or 16(e), or automatic  termination based upon paragraph
     16(a)(1),  (4), (7), or (12)(to the extent of Employer's breach),  Employer
     shall  continue  to provide  for a period of  thirty-six  (36)  months,  at
     Employer's sole cost, the  above-described  policy or policies of term life
     insurance  coverage  and  group  life,  health,   accident  and  disability
     insurance  coverage  for Employee  and his  dependents,  to the extent such
     insurance  coverage is  available at a cost to Employer  comparable  to the
     cost to provide  such  coverage to an active  employee.  If such  insurance
     coverage is not available at a comparable  cost to Employer,  then Employer
     shall pay to  Employee a lump-sum  amount in cash equal to three  times the
     total annual  premiums paid by Employer to provide such insurance  coverage
     to Employee in the final year of Employee's employment by Employer."

2.   Subparagraph  (d) of Paragraph  13 shall be added to read as follows:  "(d)
     Outplacement  Services.  In  the  event  of  a  termination  of  Employee's
     employment  pursuant to paragraph 16(b) or 16(e), or automatic  termination
     based  upon  paragraph  16(a)(1),  (4),  (7),  or  (12)(to  the  extent  of
     Employer's breach),  Employer shall provide for a period of thirty-six (36)
     months, at Employer's sole cost,  outplacement  services to the Employee to
     the extent  reasonably  required for the  Employee to obtain  substantially
     comparable employment;  provided,  however, that such outplacement services
     shall not involve an expenditure by Employer in excess of $_____ per annum;
     and provided,  further,  however,  that after the date of his  termination,
     Employee  shall use his best  efforts  to obtain  substantially  comparable
     employment."

3.   The first sentence of  subparagraph  16(d) shall be amended in its entirety
     to read as follows:  "In the event of termination  by Employer  pursuant to
     paragraph  16(b) or automatic  termination  based upon paragraph  16(a)(1),
     (4),  (7) or (12)(to the extent of  Employer's  breach) of this  Agreement,
     Employee  or his  designated  beneficiary  shall  be  entitled  to  receive
     severance  pay at  Employee's  rate of salary  immediately  preceding  such
     termination  equal to (i)  thirty-six  (36) months'  salary,  plus (ii) the
     average  annual bonus paid to Employee for the three (3) years prior to the
     date of such  termination  (in addition to incentive  compensation or bonus
     payments due Employee, if any), payable in lump sum."

4.   The first two  paragraphs  of  Paragraph  16(e)  shall be  amended in their
     entirety  to read as  follows:  "In the event of a "change in  control"  as
     defined herein and within a period of two (2) years following  consummation
     of such a change in control (i)  Employee's  employment is  terminated;  or
     (ii) without  Employee's consent there occurs (A) any adverse change in the
     nature and scope of Employee's position,  responsibilities,  duties, salary
     or benefits,  or (B) any change in Employee's  location of employment  from
     within Santa Clara County,  California,  or (C) any event which  reasonably
     constitutes a demotion,  significant diminution or constructive termination
     (by resignation or otherwise) of Employee's employment, then Employee shall
     be  entitled  to the  following  (in  addition  to any  bonus or  incentive
     compensation  payments  due  Employee  or any  benefits  which  Employee is
     otherwise entitled to hereunder):

          (x) Severance pay in an amount equal to (I) three (3) times Employee's
          annual salary immediately  preceding such change in control, plus (II)
          the  average  annual  bonus paid to  Employee  for the three (3) years
          prior  to the date of such  termination  as a  result  of a change  in
          control, such amount payable in a lump sum in cash;

          (y) An amount equal to the product of (I) a fraction, the numerator of
          which is the  number of days in the  fiscal  year in which the date of
          termination   occurs  through  such  date  of  termination,   and  the
          denominator  of which is 365,  and (II)  the  targeted  amount  of the
          Employee's  annual  bonus for the year in which the  termination  as a
          result of a change in control occurs (or, if such target bonus has not
          been  established,  Employee's bonus for the prior year),  such amount
          payable in a lump sum in cash; and

          (z) All unvested and  unexercised  stock  options  granted to Employee
          pursuant to Employer's stock option plan(s) shall immediately vest and
          become exercisable.

     Notwithstanding  anything  in  this  Agreement  to  the  contrary,  and  in
     particular  this  Section  16(e)  hereof,  if any  payment  made under this
     Agreement is a "golden  parachute  payment" as defined in Section  28(k) of
     the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.  section 1828(k)) and Part 359
     of the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
     (collectively, the "FDIC Rules") or is otherwise prohibited,  restricted or
     subject to the prior  approval  of the Board of  Governors  of the  Federal
     Reserve  System,  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation,  Office  of the
     Comptroller of the Currency, or any other regulatory agency or governmental
     authority having  jurisdiction over the Employer,  no payment shall be made
     hereunder without complying with said FDIC Rules."

5.       A new Paragraph 27 shall be added to read as follows:
         "27.     Certain Additional Payments by Employer.

(a)  In the event it shall be  determined  that any payment or  distribution  by
     Employer  to or for the  benefit of  Employee  (whether  paid or payable or
     distributed  or  distributable  pursuant to the terms of this  Agreement or
     otherwise,  but  determined  without  regard  to  any  additional  payments
     required  under  this  Section  27) (a  "Payment")  would be subject to the
     excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended (the "Code") or any interest or penalties  are incurred by Employee
     with  respect to such excise tax (such excise tax,  together  with any such
     interest and penalties,  are  hereinafter  collectively  referred to as the
     "Excise  Tax"),  then  Employee  shall be entitled to receive an additional
     payment (a  "Gross-Up  Payment")  in an amount  such that after  payment by
     Employee of all taxes  (including  any interest or  penalties  imposed with
     respect to such taxes),  including,  without  limitation,  any income taxes
     (and any interest and  penalties  imposed with respect  thereto) and Excise
     Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up  Payment,  Employee  retains an amount of the
     Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

(b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 27(c), all determinations  required to
     be made  under  this  Section  27,  including  whether  and when a Gross-Up
     Payment  is  required  and the  amount  of such  Gross-Up  Payment  and the
     assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made
     by KPMG LLP, or such other  certified  public  accounting  firm  reasonably
     acceptable to Employer as may be  designated  by Employee (the  "Accounting
     Firm")  which  shall  provide  detailed  supporting  calculations  both  to
     Employer and Employee within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from
     Employee  that  there  has  been a  Payment,  or  such  earlier  time as is
     requested by Employer.  All fees and expenses of the Accounting  Firm shall
     be borne solely by Employer.  Any Gross-Up Payment,  as determined pursuant
     to this Section 27, shall be paid by Employer to Employee  within five days
     of the later of (i) the due date for the  payment  of any Excise  Tax,  and
     (ii) the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination.  Any determination
     by the  Accounting  Firm shall be binding upon Employer and Employee.  As a
     result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at
     the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder,  it
     is  possible  that  Gross-Up  Payments  which  will not have  been  made by
     Employer  should  have  been  made  ("Underpayment"),  consistent  with the
     calculations  required  to be made  hereunder.  In the event that  Employer
     exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 27(c) and Employee  thereafter is
     required to make a payment of any Excise  Tax,  the  Accounting  Firm shall
     determine  the amount of the  Underpayment  that has  occurred and any such
     Underpayment  shall be  promptly  paid by Employer to or for the benefit of
     Employee.

(c)  Employee  shall  notify  Employer  in writing of any claim by the  Internal
     Revenue Service  ("IRS") that, if successful,  would require the payment by
     Employer of the Gross-Up Payment.  Such notification shall be given as soon
     as  practicable  but no later  than ten  business  days after  Employee  is
     informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise  Employer of the nature
     of such  claim and the date on which such  claim is  requested  to be paid.
     Employee  shall not pay such claim  prior to the  expiration  of the 30-day
     period  following  the date on which it gives such notice to  Employer  (or
     such  shorter  period  ending on the date that any  payment  of taxes  with
     respect to such claim is due).  If  Employer  notifies  Employee in writing
     prior to the  expiration  of such  period  that it desires to contest  such
     claim,  Employee  shall:  (i)  give  Employer  any  information  reasonably
     requested  by Employer  relating  to such  claim,  (ii) take such action in
     connection with contesting such claim as Employer shall reasonably  request
     in writing  from time to time,  including,  without  limitation,  accepting
     legal  representation  with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably
     selected by Employer,  (iii) cooperate with Employer in good faith in order
     effectively to contest such claim,  and (iv) permit Employer to participate
     in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that Employer
     shall bear and pay directly all costs and  expenses  (including  additional
     interest and penalties)  incurred in connection with such contest and shall
     indemnify and hold Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise
     Tax or income tax (including  interest and penalties with respect  thereto)
     imposed  as a result  of such  representation  and  payment  of  costs  and
     expenses.  Without  limitation on the foregoing  provisions of this Section
     27(c), Employer shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such
     contest  and,  at its  sole  option,  may  pursue  or  forgo  any  and  all
     administrative  appeals,  proceedings,  hearings and  conferences  with the
     taxing  authority  in respect of such  claim and may,  at its sole  option,
     either  direct  Employee  to pay the tax  claimed  and sue for a refund  or
     contest  the  claim in any  permissible  manner,  and  Employee  agrees  to
     prosecute  such  contest  to  a  determination  before  any  administrative
     tribunal,  in a court of initial  jurisdiction and in one or more appellate
     courts, as Employer shall determine;  provided,  however,  that if Employer
     directs  Employee  to pay such claim and sue for a refund,  Employer  shall
     advance the amount of such payment to Employee,  on an interest-free  basis
     and shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from
     any Excise Tax or income tax (including  interest or penalties with respect
     thereto)  imposed  with  respect  to such  advance  or with  respect to any
     imputed income with respect to such advance;  and further provided that any
     extension  of the statute of  limitations  relating to payment of taxes for
     the taxable year of Employee with respect to which such contested amount is
     claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.  Furthermore,
     Employer's  control of the contest  shall be limited to issues with respect
     to which a Gross-Up  Payment would be payable  hereunder and Employee shall
     be  entitled  to settle or  contest,  as the case may be,  any other  issue
     raised by the IRS or any other taxing authority.

(d)  If,  after the  receipt  by  Employee  of an amount  advanced  by  Employer
     pursuant to Section 27(c),  Employee becomes entitled to receive any refund
     with respect to such claim, Employee shall (subject to Employer's complying
     with the requirements of Section 27(c)) promptly pay to Employer the amount
     of such refund  (together with any interest paid or credited  thereon after
     taxes applicable  thereto).  If, after the receipt by Employee of an amount
     advanced by Employer  pursuant to Section  27(c), a  determination  is made
     that  Employee  shall not be entitled  to any refund  with  respect to such
     claim and  Employer  does not notify  Employee  in writing of its intent to
     contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
     determination,  then  such  advance  shall be  forgiven  and  shall  not be
     required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall  offset,  to the
     extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid."

6.   Except as set forth herein,  the  Agreement  shall remain in full force and
     effect. IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the parties have executed this Amendment as of
     the date set forth above. EMPLOYER EMPLOYEE SAN JOSE NATIONAL BANK

                             TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT to the Employment  Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into as of
March 27, 1996 by and between SJNB Financial Corp. and San Jose National Bank, a
national banking association ("Employer"),  and Eugene E. Blakeslee ("Employee")
is made and entered into effective July __, 2000.

                                    RECITALS

WHEREAS,  Employer and Employee  have entered into the  Agreement  governing the
employment of Employee and now wish to amend the Agreement;

NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the  mutual  covenants  and  agreements
contained herein, the Employer and Employee hereby agree as follows:

1.   Subparagraph  (c) of Paragraph  13 shall be added to read as follows:  "(c)
     "Personal  Insurance.  Employer  shall  provide  during  the  term  of this
     Agreement, at Employer's sole cost, group health (including medical, dental
     and  hospitalization)  insurance  coverage for Employee and his  dependents
     either  through a policy or policies of  standard  coverage  provided by an
     insurer or insurers  selected by  Employer in its sole  discretion.  In the
     event of a termination of Employee's employment pursuant to paragraph 16(b)
     or 16(e), or automatic termination based upon paragraph 16(a)(1), (4), (7),
     or (12)(to the extent of Employer's  breach),  Employer  shall  continue to
     provide for a period of twenty-four  (24) months,  at Employer's sole cost,
     the  above-described  policy or policies of group health insurance coverage
     for Employee and his dependents,  to the extent such insurance  coverage is
     available  at a cost to  Employer  comparable  to the cost to provide  such
     coverage to an active employee. If such insurance coverage is not available
     at a comparable  cost to Employer,  then  Employer  shall pay to Employee a
     lump-sum  amount in cash equal to two times the total annual  premiums paid
     by Employer  to provide  such  insurance  coverage to Employee in the final
     year of Employee's employment by Employer."

2.   Subparagraph  (d) of Paragraph  13 shall be added to read as follows:  "(d)
     Outplacement  Services.  In  the  event  of  a  termination  of  Employee's
     employment  pursuant to paragraph 16(b) or 16(e), or automatic  termination
     based  upon  paragraph  16(a)(1),  (4),  (7),  or  (12)(to  the  extent  of
     Employer's breach), Employer shall provide for a period of twenty-four (24)
     months, at Employer's sole cost,  outplacement  services to the Employee to
     the extent  reasonably  required for the  Employee to obtain  substantially
     comparable employment;  provided,  however, that such outplacement services
     shall not involve an expenditure by Employer in excess of $_____ per annum;
     and provided,  further,  however,  that after the date of his  termination,
     Employee  shall use his best  efforts  to obtain  substantially  comparable
     employment."

3.   The first sentence of  subparagraph  16(d) shall be amended in its entirety
     to read as follows:  "In the event of termination  by Employer  pursuant to
     paragraph  16(b) or automatic  termination  based upon paragraph  16(a)(1),
     (4),  (7) or (12)(to the extent of  Employer's  breach) of this  Agreement,
     Employee  or his  designated  beneficiary  shall  be  entitled  to  receive
     severance  pay at  Employee's  rate of salary  immediately  preceding  such
     termination  equal to (i) twenty-four  (24) months'  salary,  plus (ii) the
     average  annual bonus paid to Employee for the three (3) years prior to the
     date of such  termination  (in addition to incentive  compensation or bonus
     payments due Employee, if any), payable in lump sum."

4.   The first two  paragraphs  of  Paragraph  16(e)  shall be  amended in their
     entirety  to read as  follows:  "In the event of a "change in  control"  as
     defined herein and within a period of two (2) years following  consummation
     of such a change in control (i)  Employee's  employment is  terminated;  or
     (ii) without  Employee's consent there occurs (A) any adverse change in the
     nature and scope of Employee's position,  responsibilities,  duties, salary
     or benefits,  or (B) any change in Employee's  location of employment  from
     within Santa Clara County,  California,  or (C) any event which  reasonably
     constitutes a demotion,  significant diminution or constructive termination
     (by resignation or otherwise) of Employee's employment, then Employee shall
     be  entitled  to the  following  (in  addition  to any  bonus or  incentive
     compensation  payments  due  Employee  or any  benefits  which  Employee is
     otherwise entitled to hereunder):

          (x)  Severance pay in an amount equal to (I) two (2) times  Employee's
               annual salary immediately  preceding such change in control, plus
               (II) the average  annual bonus paid to Employee for the three (3)
               years  prior to the  date of such  termination  as a result  of a
               change in control, such amount payable in a lump sum in cash;

          (y)  An amount equal to the product of (I) a fraction,  the  numerator
               of which is the  number of days in the  fiscal  year in which the
               date of termination occurs through such date of termination,  and
               the  denominator of which is 365, and (II) the targeted amount of
               the Employee's annual bonus for the year in which the termination
               as a result of a change in control  occurs  (or,  if such  target
               bonus has not been  established,  Employee's  bonus for the prior
               year), such amount payable in a lump sum in cash; and

          (z)  All unvested and  unexercised  stock options  granted to Employee
               pursuant to Employer's  stock option  plan(s)  shall  immediately
               vest and become exercisable.

     Notwithstanding  anything  in  this  Agreement  to  the  contrary,  and  in
     particular  this  Section  16(e)  hereof,  if any  payment  made under this
     Agreement is a "golden  parachute  payment" as defined in Section  28(k) of
     the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.  section 1828(k)) and Part 359
     of the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
     (collectively, the "FDIC Rules") or is otherwise prohibited,  restricted or
     subject to the prior  approval  of the Board of  Governors  of the  Federal
     Reserve  System,  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation,  Office  of the
     Comptroller of the Currency, or any other regulatory agency or governmental
     authority having  jurisdiction over the Employer,  no payment shall be made
     hereunder without complying with said FDIC Rules."

5.       A new Paragraph 27 shall be added to read as follows:
         "27.     Certain Additional Payments by Employer.

(a)  In the event it shall be  determined  that any payment or  distribution  by
     Employer  to or for the  benefit of  Employee  (whether  paid or payable or
     distributed  or  distributable  pursuant to the terms of this  Agreement or
     otherwise,  but  determined  without  regard  to  any  additional  payments
     required  under  this  Section  27) (a  "Payment")  would be subject to the
     excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended (the "Code") or any interest or penalties  are incurred by Employee
     with  respect to such excise tax (such excise tax,  together  with any such
     interest and penalties,  are  hereinafter  collectively  referred to as the
     "Excise  Tax"),  then  Employee  shall be entitled to receive an additional
     payment (a  "Gross-Up  Payment")  in an amount  such that after  payment by
     Employee of all taxes  (including  any interest or  penalties  imposed with
     respect to such taxes),  including,  without  limitation,  any income taxes
     (and any interest and  penalties  imposed with respect  thereto) and Excise
     Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up  Payment,  Employee  retains an amount of the
     Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

(b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 27(c), all determinations  required to
     be made  under  this  Section  27,  including  whether  and when a Gross-Up
     Payment  is  required  and the  amount  of such  Gross-Up  Payment  and the
     assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made
     by KPMG LLP, or such other  certified  public  accounting  firm  reasonably
     acceptable to Employer as may be  designated  by Employee (the  "Accounting
     Firm")  which  shall  provide  detailed  supporting  calculations  both  to
     Employer and Employee within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from
     Employee  that  there  has  been a  Payment,  or  such  earlier  time as is
     requested by Employer.  All fees and expenses of the Accounting  Firm shall
     be borne solely by Employer.  Any Gross-Up Payment,  as determined pursuant
     to this Section 27, shall be paid by Employer to Employee  within five days
     of the later of (i) the due date for the  payment  of any Excise  Tax,  and
     (ii) the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination.  Any determination
     by the  Accounting  Firm shall be binding upon Employer and Employee.  As a
     result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at
     the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder,  it
     is  possible  that  Gross-Up  Payments  which  will not have  been  made by
     Employer  should  have  been  made  ("Underpayment"),  consistent  with the
     calculations  required  to be made  hereunder.  In the event that  Employer
     exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 27(c) and Employee  thereafter is
     required to make a payment of any Excise  Tax,  the  Accounting  Firm shall
     determine  the amount of the  Underpayment  that has  occurred and any such
     Underpayment  shall be  promptly  paid by Employer to or for the benefit of
     Employee.

(c)  Employee  shall  notify  Employer  in writing of any claim by the  Internal
     Revenue Service  ("IRS") that, if successful,  would require the payment by
     Employer of the Gross-Up Payment.  Such notification shall be given as soon
     as  practicable  but no later  than ten  business  days after  Employee  is
     informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise  Employer of the nature
     of such  claim and the date on which such  claim is  requested  to be paid.
     Employee  shall not pay such claim  prior to the  expiration  of the 30-day
     period  following  the date on which it gives such notice to  Employer  (or
     such  shorter  period  ending on the date that any  payment  of taxes  with
     respect to such claim is due).  If  Employer  notifies  Employee in writing
     prior to the  expiration  of such  period  that it desires to contest  such
     claim,  Employee  shall:  (i)  give  Employer  any  information  reasonably
     requested  by Employer  relating  to such  claim,  (ii) take such action in
     connection with contesting such claim as Employer shall reasonably  request
     in writing  from time to time,  including,  without  limitation,  accepting
     legal  representation  with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably
     selected by Employer,  (iii) cooperate with Employer in good faith in order
     effectively to contest such claim,  and (iv) permit Employer to participate
     in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that Employer
     shall bear and pay directly all costs and  expenses  (including  additional
     interest and penalties)  incurred in connection with such contest and shall
     indemnify and hold Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise
     Tax or income tax (including  interest and penalties with respect  thereto)
     imposed  as a result  of such  representation  and  payment  of  costs  and
     expenses.  Without  limitation on the foregoing  provisions of this Section
     27(c), Employer shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such
     contest  and,  at its  sole  option,  may  pursue  or  forgo  any  and  all
     administrative  appeals,  proceedings,  hearings and  conferences  with the
     taxing  authority  in respect of such  claim and may,  at its sole  option,
     either  direct  Employee  to pay the tax  claimed  and sue for a refund  or
     contest  the  claim in any  permissible  manner,  and  Employee  agrees  to
     prosecute  such  contest  to  a  determination  before  any  administrative
     tribunal,  in a court of initial  jurisdiction and in one or more appellate
     courts, as Employer shall determine;  provided,  however,  that if Employer
     directs  Employee  to pay such claim and sue for a refund,  Employer  shall
     advance the amount of such payment to Employee,  on an interest-free  basis
     and shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from
     any Excise Tax or income tax (including  interest or penalties with respect
     thereto)  imposed  with  respect  to such  advance  or with  respect to any
     imputed income with respect to such advance;  and further provided that any
     extension  of the statute of  limitations  relating to payment of taxes for
     the taxable year of Employee with respect to which such contested amount is
     claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.  Furthermore,
     Employer's  control of the contest  shall be limited to issues with respect
     to which a Gross-Up  Payment would be payable  hereunder and Employee shall
     be  entitled  to settle or  contest,  as the case may be,  any other  issue
     raised by the IRS or any other taxing authority.

(d)  If,  after the  receipt  by  Employee  of an amount  advanced  by  Employer
     pursuant to Section 27(c),  Employee becomes entitled to receive any refund
     with respect to such claim, Employee shall (subject to Employer's complying
     with the requirements of Section 27(c)) promptly pay to Employer the amount
     of such refund  (together with any interest paid or credited  thereon after
     taxes applicable  thereto).  If, after the receipt by Employee of an amount
     advanced by Employer  pursuant to Section  27(c), a  determination  is made
     that  Employee  shall not be entitled  to any refund  with  respect to such
     claim and  Employer  does not notify  Employee  in writing of its intent to
     contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
     determination,  then  such  advance  shall be  forgiven  and  shall  not be
     required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall  offset,  to the
     extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid."

6.   Except as set forth herein,  the  Agreement  shall remain in full force and
     effect. IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the parties have executed this Amendment as of
     the date set forth above. EMPLOYER EMPLOYEE SAN JOSE NATIONAL BANK
