3.1          PARTICIPANT COMPENSATION DEFERRALS. Subject to the remaining paragraphs of this
Section and in accordance with rules established by the Employer and subject to
such amount limitations as might be imposed by the Employer in its discretion,
a Participant may elect to defer Compensation which is due to be earned and
which would otherwise be paid to the Participant, in any fixed periodic dollar
amounts or percentages designated by the Participant. Amounts so deferred will
be considered a Participant’s “Compensation Deferrals.” Except as provided
below, a Participant shall make such election(s) under this paragraph with
respect to a coming twelve (12) month Plan
Year during the period beginning on the November 1 and ending on the December
31 of the prior calendar year, or during such other period as might be
established by  the Employer, which
period ends no later than the last day of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year
in which the services giving rise to the Compensation to be deferred are to be
performed.

In the case of the first Plan
Year in which an Eligible Employee becomes eligible to become a Participant, if and to the extent
permitted by the Employer, the Eligible Employee may make an election no later than thirty (30) days after the date he or she
becomes eligible to become a Participant to defer Compensation for
services to be performed after the election.

Compensation Deferrals shall be
made through regular payroll deductions or through an election by the Participant to defer the
payment of a bonus, if applicable. The Participant may change or revoke his or her Compensation Deferral election only if and
to the extent permitted by the Employer and in accordance with the
provisions of Code section 409A specifically relating to the change and/or
revocation of deferral elections. Generally, Compensation Deferral elections
are irrevocable.

Compensation Deferrals shall be deducted by the
Employer from the pay of a deferring Participant and shall be credited to the
Account of the deferring Participant.

 3
 

There shall be established and maintained a separate
Plan Account in the name of each Participant to which shall be credited or
debited: (a) amounts equal to the Participant’s Compensation Deferrals; and (b)
amounts equal to any deemed earnings or losses (to the extent realized, based
upon deemed fair market value of the Compensation Deferral Account’s deemed
assets, as determined by the Employer, in its discretion) attributable or
allocable thereto.

A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in amounts credited to
his or her Account.

3.2          BENEFIT. In addition to any amounts to which the Participant is entitled under
his or her Account, the Participant shall be entitled to a Benefit as set forth
on Exhibit A. A Participant’s Benefit shall
be funded exclusively by the Employer. Each Participant shall vest in his or
her Benefit as determined by the Employer in its discretion.

3.3          CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TRUST. An amount shall be contributed by the Employer to the Trust maintained under Section
11.1 equal to the amount(s) required to be credited  to the Participant’s Account under Section 3.1 and
in any amounts estimated as necessary to fund the  Benefit under the Plan. The Employer shall make a
good faith effort to contribute these amounts to the Trust as soon as
practicable following the date on which the contribution credit amount(s) are
determined.

ARTICLE

ALLOCATION OF FUNDS

4. 1         ALLOCATION OF DEEMED EARNINGS OR LOSSES ON ACCOUNTS. Subject to such limitations as may from time
to time be required by law, imposed by the Employer or the Trustee or contained
elsewhere in the Plan, and subject to such operating rules and procedures as
may be imposed from time to time by the Employer, prior to the date on which a
direction will become effective, the
Participant shall have the right to direct the Employer as to how amounts in
his  or her Account shall be deemed
to be invested. The Employer, may, but is not required to, direct the
Trustee to invest the account maintained in the Trust on behalf of the
Participant pursuant to the deemed investment directions the Employer properly
has received from the Participant.

The value of the Participant’s Account shall be
equal to the value of the deemed investments
maintained under the Trust on behalf of the Participant. As of each valuation
date of the Trust, the Participant’s Account will be credited or debited
to reflect. the. Participant’s deemed investments
of the Trust. The Participant’s Plan Account will be credited or debited with
the increase or decrease in the realizable net asset value or credited
interest, as applicable, of the designated deemed investments, as follows. As
of each Valuation Date, an amount equal to the net increase or decrease in realizable net asset value or credited interest,
as applicable (as determined by the Trustee), of each deemed investment
option within the Account since the preceding Valuation Date shall be allocated
among all Participants’ Accounts deemed to be invested in that investment
option in accordance with the ratio which the portion of the Account of each
Participant which is deemed to be invested within that investment option,
determined as provided herein, bears to the aggregate of all amounts deemed to
be invested within that investment option.

4.2       ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS. As of the date of any distribution under this Plan, the distribution made to the Participant
or his or her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be charged to such
Participant’s Account. The amount of the distribution shall first be charged
against the investments of the Trust in which the Participant’s Account is
deemed to be invested, on a pro rata basis, until such deemed investments are
exhausted. If an in-kind distribution is requested, the amount of the distribution shall be charged on a pro rata basis against
all the investments of the Trust in which the Participant’s Account is
deemed to be invested.

 4
 

4.3          SEPARATE ACCOUNTS. A separate bookkeeping account under the
Plan shall be established and maintained by the. Employer to reflect the
Account for each Participant with bookkeeping.
Each account will separately account for the credits and debits described in
Article 3.

4.4          INTERIM VALUATIONS. If it is determined by the Employer that the
value of a Participant’s Account as of any
date on which distributions are to be made differs materially from the
value of the Participant’s Account on the prior Valuation Date upon which the
distribution is to be based, the Employer, in its discretion, shall have the
right to designate any date in the interim as a Valuation Date for the purpose of revaluing the Participant’s Account so
that the Account will, prior to the distribution, reflect its share of
such material difference in value.

4.5          DEEMED INVESTMENT DIRECTIONS OF PARTICIPANTS. Subject to such limitations as may from time
to time be required by law, imposed by the Employer, the Employer or the Trustee
or contained elsewhere in the Plan, and subject to such operating rules and
procedures as may be imposed from time to time by the Employer, prior to and
effective for each Designation Date, each Participant may communicate to the
Employer a direction (in accordance with (a), below) as to how his or her Plan
Accounts should be deemed to be invested among such categories of deemed
investments as may be made available by the Employer under this Plan, which may
be unlimited, at the Employer’s sole discretion. Such direction shall designate
the percentage (in any whole percent multiples) of each portion of the
Participant’s Plan Accounts which is requested to be deemed to be invested in
such categories of deemed investments, and shall be subject to the following
rules:

(a)           Any
initial or subsequent deemed investment direction shall be in writing, on a
form supplied by and filed with the Employer, and/or, as required or permitted
by the Employer, shall be by oral designation and/or electronic transmission
designation. A designation shall be effective
as of the Designation Date next following the date the direction is received
and accepted by  the Employer on which
it would be reasonably practicable for the Employer to effect the designation.

(b)           All amounts credited to. the Participants Account shall be
deemed- to be invested in accordance with the then effective deemed investment
direction, and as of the Designation Date with respect to any new . deemed
investment direction, all or a portion of the Participant’s
Account at that date shall be reallocated among the designated deemed
investment funds according to the percentages specified in the. new deemed investment direction
unless and until a subsequent deemed
investment direction shall be filed and become effective. An election
concerning deemed investment choices shall continue indefinitely as
provided in the Participant’s most recent investment direction form provided by
and filed with the Employer.

(c)           If the Employer receives an initial
or revised deemed investment direction which
it deems to be incomplete, unclear or improper, the Participant’s investment
direction then in  effect shall remain
in effect (or, lathe case of a deficiency in an initial deemed investment
direction, the Participant shall be deemed to have filed no deemed
investment direction) until the next Designation
Date, unless the Employer provides for, and permits the application of,
corrective action prior thereto.

(d)           the Employer possesses (or is deemed to possess as
provided in (c), above) at any time directions as to the deemed investment of
less than all of a Participant’s Account, the Participant
shall be deemed to have directed that the undesignated portion of the Account
be deemed to be invested in a money market, fixed income or similar fund
made available under the Plan as determined by the Employer in its discretion.

 5
 

(e)           Each Participant, as a condition to
his or her participation in this Plan, agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Employer and its agents and representatives
from any losses or damages of any kind relating to the deemed investment
of the Participant’s Account.

(f)            Each reference in this Section to a Participant shall be
deemed to include, where applicable, a reference to a Beneficiary of a deceased
Participant.

4.6          EXPENSES AND TAXES. Expenses, including Trustee fees, associated
with the administration or operation of the
Plan shall be paid by the Employer from its general assets unless the
Employer elects to charge such expenses against the appropriate Participant’s Account
or Participants’ Accounts. Any taxes
allocable to an Account (or portion thereof) maintained under the  Plan which are payable prior to the distribution
of the Account (or portion thereof), as determined by  the Employer, shall be paid by the Employer unless
the Employer elects to charge such taxes against the appropriate
Participant’s Account or Participants’ Accounts:

ENTITLEMENT TO BENEFITS

5.1          PAYMENT DATES. At the time the Participant makes his or her. initial. Compensation Deferral
election, a Participant shall elect to receive payment of his or her vested Account, which payment will be valued and payable
according to the provisions of Article 6: (i) sixty (60) days following
the Participant’s Separation from Service with the Employer for any reason. (including death or Disability); (ii) on a fixed
payment date or dates (the “Fixed Payment Date(s)”)  (such as January 1, 2017, or each January 1,
beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending on January 1,  2026); (iii) at the earlier or later of the
preceding event or date(s); or (iv) at the earlier or later of sixty
(60) days after a Change in Control and one .or
more of the preceding events or date(s).

Any Fixed Payment Date elected by a Participant must
be a date no earlier than the January 1 of the third calendar year after the
calendar year in which the earliest Compensation Deferrals subject to the Fixed Payment Date are to be made by or on
behalf of the Participant (or, if  applicable,
the January 1 of the third calendar year in which a new Compensation Deferral
is made after the Participant has received a distribution of his or her
previously vested Account). By way of example,
an Eligible Employee who enrolls as a Participant in the Plan in November 2006
and who elects to defer Compensation to be earned during 2007 may elect
at that time as his or her initial Fixed Payment Date any date which is no
earlier than January 1, 2010, in which case the Participant’s vested Plan
Account as of December 31, 2009 (including his or her 2007, 2008 and 2009 Compensation Deferrals, and any earnings on
those amounts) shall be paid on January 1, 2010.

Any
Fixed Payment Date may be delayed, to a later Fixed Payment Date, so long as  any
election to delay the date is made by the Participant at least twelve (12) months
prior to the date  on which the
distribution is to be made and such delay is at least five (5) full calendar
years in length.  Such Fixed. Payment
Date may not be accelerated, except as provided in the remaining Sections of
this Article.

5.2          UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY DISTRIBUTIONS.  In
the event the Participant  incurs an unforeseeable
emergency, as defined below, the Participant may apply to the Employer for  the
distribution of all or any part of his or her Account attributable to
Compensation Deferrals. The  Employer
shall consider the circumstances of each such case, and the best interests of
the Participant and his or her family, and shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, if applicable, to allow such distribution,
or, if applicable, to direct a distribution of part of the amount requested, or
to refuse to allow any distribution; provided, however, that such
distribution shall be permitted solely to the extent permitted under Code
section 409A. Upon a finding of unforeseeable emergency, the Employer shall direct that the appropriate 

 6
 

distribution is made to the Participant with
respect to the  Participant’s vested Account in a lump sum
payment. In no event shall the aggregate amount of the  distribution exceed either the full value of the
Participant’s vested Account or the amount determined  by the Employer to be necessary to satisfy the
unforeseeable emergency. plus amounts necessary to  pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of
the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which the hardship
is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or
otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the
liquidation of assets would not itself cause
severe financial hardship). For purposes of this Section, the value of the
Participant’s vested Account shall be determined as of the date of the
distribution.

For purposes of this Section, “unforeseeable
emergency” means (a) a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of
the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or a dependent (as defined in Code
section 152(a)) of the Participant, (b) loss of the Participant’s .property due
to casualty, or (c) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond
the control of the Participant, each as determined  to exist by the Employer. A distribution may be
made under this Section only with the .consent of the Employer.

5.3          DEATH, DISABILITY.  Upon the Participant’s death or Disability,
the Participant’s vested Account shall be valued and paid to the Participant or
the Participant’s designated Beneficiary(ies), as applicable, as provided in
Article 6.

ARTICLE

DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

6.1          AMOUNT. A Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall become entitled to
receive, on the date or dates determined in accordance with Article 5, a
distribution (or commencement of distributions) in. an aggregate amount equal
to the Participant’s vested Account. In addition, a Participant (or his or her
Beneficiary) shall become entitled to receive on the date(s) and in the manner determined in accordance with Exhibit A, a
distribution (or commencement of distributions) in an aggregate amount
equal to the Participant’s vested Benefit. Any payment due under the terms of the Plan from the Trust which is not paid by
the Trust for any reason will be paid by the Employer from its general
assets.

6.2          METHOD OF PAYMENT.

(a)           Cash
or In-kind Payments. All payments under the Plan shall be made in cash
unless the Participant and the Employer agree to payment in-kind.

(b)           Timing and Manner of Payment. Except as otherwise
provided in this Plan, on the date or dates determined in accordance with
Article 5, an aggregate amount equal to the Participant’s
vested Account will be paid by the Trust or the Employer, as provided in
Section 6.1, in  (i) a lump sum, or
(ii) in up to ten annual installments (adjusted for gains and losses), as
selected by the Participant at the time he or she makes his or her
initial Compensation Deferral election. If a Participant
fails to designate properly the manner of payment of the Participant’s Account
under the Plan, the Participant will be deemed to have elected a lump
sum payment. If a Participant fails to designate
properly the timing of payment of the Participant’s Account under the Plan, the
Participant will be deemed to have elected payment of his or her vested
Account sixty (60) days following Separation from Service (subject to the six
month delay rule. described in Section 5.1).

Subject to Section 6.3, the
Participant may change his or her above-described timing and manner of payment elections (or deemed
elections) with respect to payment of his or her Account by submitting a new Election Form to the Employer, provided that
any such Election Form  is submitted
at least twelve (12) months prior to the date on which the distribution is to
be made (or  commence) and delays the
distribution (or commencement of distributions) date at least five (5) full
calendar years from the previously scheduled distribution date.

 7
 

If the whole or any part of a
payment under this Plan is to be in installments, the total  to be so
paid shall continue to be deemed to be invested pursuant to Article 4 under
such procedures as the Employer may establish, in which case any deemed
income, gain, loss or expense or tax allocable thereto (as determined by the
Employer, in its discretion) shall be reflected. in the installment
payments, using such method for the calculation of the installments as the
Employer shall reasonably determine.

6.3          ACCELERATIONS. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, no change submitted on an Election
Form shall be accepted by the Employer if the change accelerates the time
over which distributions shall be made to the Participant (except as otherwise
permitted by Code section 409A) and the Employer shall deny any change made to
an election if the Employer determines that
the change violates the requirement under Code section 409A that the first
payment with respect to which such election is made be deferred for a
period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would
otherwise have been made.

Notwithstanding the preceding, the Employer, in its
discretion, may accelerate distributions
under the Plan to the extent permitted under Code section 409A (e.g., Q&A
15 of IRS Notice 2005-1).

6.4          DEATH OR DISABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS. If a Participant dies or becomes Disabled
before incurring a Separation from Service and before the commencement of
payments from the Participant’s Account to
the Participant under this Plan, the entire value of the Participant’s
vested Account shall be paid sixty (60) days following the Participant’s death
or Disability, as applicable, in a lump sum, to the Participant or to the
person or persons designated in accordance with Section 7.1.

Upon the death or Disability of
a Participant after payments under this Plan from the  Participant’s
Account have begun but before he or she has received all payments to which he
or she  is entitled under the Plan,
the remaining benefit payments shall be paid sixty (60) days following the
Participant’s death or Disability, as applicable, in a lump sum, to the
Participant or to the person or persons designated in accordance with Section
7.1.

Notwithstanding the preceding, if a Participant
entitled to a distribution of his or her Benefit under the Plan dies before all
installment payments of his or her Benefit are paid, the Participant’s
designated Beneficiary will receive, in a cash lump sum on the date of the
Participant’s death (or as soon as administratively feasible thereafter), an
amount equal to the then-present value of the unpaid payments (as determined by
the Employer).

BENEFICIARIES; PARTICIPANT DATA

7.1          DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES. Each Participant from time to time may designate any person or persons (who may be named
contingently or successively) to receive such  benefits as may be payable under the Plan upon or after the Participant’s
death, and such designation  may be
changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new designation. Each
designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant,
shall be in a form prescribed by the Employer,
and will be effective only when filed in writing with the Employer during the
Participant’s lifetime.

 8
 

In the absence of a valid
Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary validly
named by the Participant, the  Employer
shall pay any such benefit payment to the Participant’s spouse, if then living,
but otherwise  to the Participant’s
then living descendants, if any,
per stirpes, but,
if none, to the Participant’s estate.  In
determining the existence or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment,
the Employer may  rely conclusively
upon information supplied by the Participant’s personal representative,
executor or administrator. If a question arises as to the existence or
identity of anyone entitled to receive a benefit payment as aforesaid, or if a
dispute arises with respect to any such payment, then, notwithstanding the
foregoing; the Employer, in its sole discretion, may distribute or direct the
Trustee to distribute such payment to the Participant’s estate without
liability for any tax or other consequences
which might flow therefrom, or may take such other action as the Employer deems
to be appropriate.

7.2          INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED BY PARTICIPANTS AND  BENEFICIARIES;
INABILITY TO LOCATE PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIARIES. Any communication, statement or notice
addressed to a Participant or to a Beneficiary at his or her last post office
address as shown on the Employer’s records shall be binding on the Participant
or Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan. The Employer shall not be obliged
to search for any Participant or Beneficiary
beyond the sending of a registered letter to such last known address.  If the Employer notifies any
Participant or Beneficiary that he or she is entitled to an amount under the Plan and the Participant or Beneficiary fails to
claim such amount or make his or her location known to the Employer
within three (3) years thereafter, then, except as otherwise required by law;
if the location of one or more of the next
of kin of the Participant is known to the Employer, the Employer  may distribute or direct distribution of such amount to any one or more or all of such
next of kin, and  in such-proportions
as the Employer determines. If the location of none of the foregoing persons
can  be determined, the Employer shall
have the right to direct that the amount payable shall be deemed to  be a forfeiture, except that the dollar amount of
the forfeiture, unadjusted for deemed gains or losses in the interim,
shall be paid by the Employer if a claim for the benefit subsequently is made
by the Participant or the Beneficiary to whom it was payable. If a benefit
payable to an unlocated Participant or
Beneficiary is subject to escheat pursuant to applicable state law, the
Employer shall not be liable to any person for any payment made in
accordance with such law.

ADMINISTRATION

8.1          ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY.  Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Employer shall be the Plan
administrator (the “Plan Administrator”) and shall have the sole responsibility for and the sole control of

and to make all. decisions and interpretations which may be necessary or
appropriate in order to administer and operate the Plan, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the power, duty and responsibility
to:

(d)           Make

 9
 

(e)           Appoint
any persons or firms, or otherwise act to secure specialized advice or assistance, as it deems necessary or desirable in
connection with the administration and operation of  the Plan, and the Employer shall be entitled to
rely conclusively upon, and shall be fully protected in  any action or omission taken by it in good faith
reliance upon, the advice or opinion of such firms or  persons. The Employer shall have the power and
authority to delegate from time to time by written  instrument all or any part of its duties, powers
or responsibilities under the Plan, both ministerial and  discretionary, as it deems appropriate, to any
person or committee, and in the same manner to revoke  any such delegation of duties, powers or
responsibilities. Any action of such person or committee in  the exercise of such delegated duties, powers or
responsibilities shall have the same force and effect for all purposes
under this Plan as if such action had been taken by the Employer.  Further, the Employer may authorize one or more persons to execute any certificate or
document on behalf of the  Employer,
in which event any person notified by the Employer of such authorization shall
be entitled to accept and conclusively rely upon any such certificate or
document executed by such person as representing action by the Employer until
such notified person shall have been notified of the revocation of such
authority.

8.2          LITIGATION.  Except as
may be otherwise required by law, in any action or judicial  proceeding
affecting the Plan, no Participant or Beneficiary shall be entitled to any
notice or service of process, and any final judgment entered in such action
shall be binding on all persons interested in, or claiming under, the
Plan.

AMENDMENT

9.1          RIGHT TO AMEND. Subject to Code section 409A, the Employer,
by action of its Board, shall have the right
to amend the Plan, at any time and with respect to any provisions hereof,
and all parties hereto or claiming any interest under this Plan shall be bound
by such amendment; provided, however, that
no. such amendment shall deprive a Participant or
a Beneficiary of a benefit
amount accrued prior to the date of the amendment.

9.2          AMENDMENTS TO
ENSURE PROPER CHARACTERIZATION OF PLAN. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
9.1, the Plan may be amended by the Employer at any time, retroactively if
required, in the opinion of the Employer, in order to ensure that the Trust
that may be established is characterized as
a grantor trust as described in Code sections 671 through 679,  to conform the Plan to the provisions of Code
section 409A and to conform the Plan and Trust to the provisions and
requirements of any applicable law (including ERISA and the Code). No such
amendment shall be considered prejudicial to any interest of a Participant or a
Beneficiary in the Plan.

TERMINATION

10.1        EMPLOYER’S RIGHT TO
TERMINATE OR SUSPEND PLAN. The Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan and/or
obligations to make further credits to Plan Accounts, by action of the Board. The Employer also reserves the right to suspend
the operation of the Plan for a fixed or indeterminate period of time,
by action of the Board.

10.2        AUTOMATIC
TERMINATION OF PLAN.
The Plan automatically shall terminate upon the dissolution of the Employer, or
upon its merger into or consolidation with any other corporation or business
organization if there is a failure by the surviving corporation or business
organization to adopt specifically and agree to continue the Plan.

10.3        SUSPENSION OF
DEFERRALS. In the
event of a suspension of the Plan, the Employer shall continue all aspects of
the Plan, other than contributions to the Plan, during the period of  the suspension, in which event
payments will continue to be made during the period of the suspension in
accordance with Articles 5 and 6.

 10
 

10.4        ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION. This Section shall become operative on a complete termination of the Plan. The provisions
of this Section also shall become operative in the event of a partial
termination of the Plan, as determined by the Employer, but only with respect
to that portion of the Plan attributable to
the Participants to whom the partial termination is applicable. Upon the
effective date of any such event, notwithstanding any other provisions of the
Plan, no persons who were not already
Participants shall be eligible to become Participants, the value of the vested
Accounts of all Participants and Beneficiaries shall be determined and, after
deduction of estimated expenses in liquidating, paid to Participants and
Beneficiaries when Plan benefits otherwise become due in accordance with
Articles 5 and 6.

Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary, the Employer, in its discretion,  reserves
the right, by action of the Board, to terminate the Plan and distribute to
Participants their  vested Account
balances but only as permitted in accordance with the Code (e.g., Prop. Reg.
1.409A 3(h)(2)(viii)).

organization which is a successor to the Employer by reason of a consolidation,
merger or purchase of substantially all of the assets of the Employer shall

of the entity’s board of directors or other appropriate governing body. If,
within ninety (90) days from the effective date of such consolidation, merger
or sale of assets, such new entity does not become a party hereto, as above
provided, the Plan automatically shall be terminated, and the provisions of
Section 10.4 shall become operative.

ARTICLE 11

THE TRUST

11.1        ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. The Employer shall establish the Trust with
the Trustee pursuant to such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Trust
agreement to be entered into between the
Employer and the Trustee or the Employer shall cause to be maintained one or
more separate subaccounts in an existing Trust maintained with the
Trustee with respect to one or more other
plans of the Employer, which subaccount or subaccounts represent Participants’
interests in the Plan. Any such Trust shall be intended to be treated as
a “grantor trust” under the Code and the establishment of the Trust or the
utilization of any existing Trust for Plan benefits, as applicable, shall not
be intended to cause any Participant to realize current income on amounts
contributed thereto, and the Trust shall be so interpreted.

ARTICLE
12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1        LIABILITY OF EMPLOYER; LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF
EMPLOYER.  Notwithstanding anything herein that may suggest otherwise, the Employer shall be solely
liable for  the payment of any
benefits due under this Plan. However, neither the establishment of the Plan
nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any Account under the
Plan, nor the payment of any benefits under the Plan shall be construed as
giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Employer or any officer or employer thereof
except as provided by law or  by any
Plan provision. The Employer shall not in any way guarantee any Participant’s
Account from  loss or depreciation,
whether caused by poor investment performance of a deemed investment or the
inability to realize upon an investment due to an insolvency affecting an
investment vehicle or any other reason. In no event shall the Employer or any
successor, employee, officer, director or stockholder
of the Employer, be liable to any person on account of any claim arising by
reason of the provisions of the Plan or of any instrument or instruments
implementing its provisions, or for the failure of any Participant, Beneficiary
or other person to be entitled to any particular tax consequences with respect
to the Plan, or any credit or distribution under the Plan.

 11
 

12.2        CONSTRUCTION. If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or void, such
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan,
but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as
if said illegal or invalid provision had never
been inserted herein. For all purposes of the Plan, where the context admits,
the singular shall  include the
plural, and the plural shall include the singular. Headings of Articles and
Sections herein  are inserted only for
convenience of reference and are not to be considered in the construction of
the  Plan. The laws of the State of
Maryland shall govern, control and determine all questions of law  arising with respect to the Plan and the interpretation and validity of its
respective provisions, except  where
those laws are preempted by the laws of the United States. Participation under
the Plan will  not give any
Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer, or any
right or claim to any benefit under the Plan unless such right or claim
has specifically accrued under the Plan.

The Plan is intended to be and
at all times shall be interpreted and administered so as to qualify as an unfunded deferred
compensation plan, and no provision of the Plan shall be interpreted so as to give any individual any
right in any assets of the Employer which is greater than the rights of
a general unsecured creditor of the Employer.

12.3        SPENDTHRIFT PROVISION. No amount payable to a Participant or a
Beneficiary under the Plan will, except as otherwise specifically provided by
law, be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, attachment,
garnishment, sale, transfer, assignment (either at law or in equity), levy,
execution, pledge, encumbrance, charge or any other legal or equitable process,
and any attempt to do so will be void; nor
will any benefit be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts,
contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled thereto.
Further, subject to Code section 409A, (i)
the withholding of taxes from Plan benefit payments, (ii) the recovery under
the Plan of overpayments of benefits previously.. made to a Participant or
Beneficiary, (iii) if applicable, the transfer of benefit rights from the Plan
to another plan, or (iv) the direct deposit of benefit payments to an account
in a banking institution (if not actually part of an arrangement constituting
an assignment or alienation) shall not be construed as an assignment or alienation.

In the event that any Participant’s or Beneficiary’s
benefits under this Plan are garnished or attached by order of any court, the
Employer or the Trustee may bring an action or a declaratory judgment in a
court of competent jurisdiction to determine the proper recipient of the
benefits to be paid under the Plan. During the pendency of said action, subject
to Code section 409A, any benefits that
become payable shall be held as credits to the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s
Account or, if the Employer or the Trustee
prefers, paid into the court as they become payable, to be distributed
by the court to the. recipient as the court deems proper at the
close of said action.

12.4        AGGREGATION OF EMPLOYERS. To the extent required under Code section
409A, if the Employer is a member of a. controlled group of corporations or a
group of trades or businesses under common
control (as described in Code
sections 414(b) or (c)), all members of the group shall be treated as
single Employer under the Plan.

 12
 

12.5        TAX WITHHOLDING. All
distributions under the Plan are
subject to any applicable  tax
withholding, as determined by the Employer in its discretion. The Employer
shall have the right to deduct from a Participant’s Compensation that is
not being deferred under this Plan any federal, state, local or employment taxes which it deems are required by law to be withheld with respect to
any Compensation Deferrals or Plan distributions. Subject to Code section 409A,
if necessary, the Employer may reduce the
Participant’s Compensation Deferrals in order to comply with this Section.
caused the Plan to be executed and its seal to be affixed hereto,
effective as of January 1, 2006.

RECITALS

THIS

Employer’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Contributions to the trust fund shall be
held by the Trustee and invested, reinvested and distributed in accordance with
the provisions of this Trust Agreement.

The Trust established by
this Trust Agreement is intended to be a “grantor trust,” with the result that the corpus and income of the trust are
treated for tax purposes as assets and income of the Employer.

be legally bound, declare and agree as follows.

Agreement.

Trust shall be irrevocable.

amended, and shall be construed accordingly.

1.4          TRUST ASSETS. The principal of the Trust, and any

purposes of the Plan and general insolvency creditors of the Employer as
set forth in this Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE
4

TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITY WHEN
EMPLOYER IS INSOLVENT

4. 1         CESSATION OF PAYMENTS ON EMPLOYER INSOLVENCY. The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits
to participants and beneficiaries under the Plan if the Employer is Insolvent.
The Employer shall be considered “Insolvent” for purposes of this Trust
Agreement if (i) the Employer is unable to pay its debts as they become due; or
(ii) the Employer is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the
United States Bankruptcy Code.

4.2          CLAIMS OF CREDITORS. At all times during the .continuance
of this Trust, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to claims
of general creditors of the Employer under federal and state law as set forth
below.

(a)           The Board of Directors and the chief executive officer of
the Employer shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing of the .Employer’s Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of the
Employer alleges in writing to the Trustee that the Employer has become
Insolvent, the Trustee shall determine whether the Employer is. Insolvent and,
pending a determination, the Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to
Plan participants and beneficiaries.

(b)           Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Employer’s
Insolvency, or has received notice from the
Employer or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that the Employer
is Insolvent, the Trustee shall have
no duty to .inquire whether the Employer is Insolvent.
The Trustee may in all events rely on any evidence concerning the Employer’s
solvency as may be furnished to the Trustee and that provides the Trustee with
a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Employer’s
solvency.

(c)           If at any time the Trustee has determined that the
Employer is Insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue payments to participants
and beneficiaries of the Plan and shall hold the assets of the. Trust for the
benefit of the Employer’s general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement
shall in any way diminish any rights of any participant or beneficiary of the
Plan to pursue his or-her rights as a general
creditor of the Employer with respect to
benefits due under the Plan or otherwise.

(d)           The Trustee shall resume the payment
of benefits to the Plan participants and beneficiaries in accordance with the
terms of this Trust Agreement only after the Trustee has determined that the
Employer is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

(e)           Except as expressly provided in this Trust Agreement, the
Employer shall have no right or power to direct the Trustee to return to the
Employer or to divert to others any of the
Trust assets before all payments of benefits have been made to all participants
and beneficiaries of the Plan (or to the Employer, in the case of the
inability to locate a payee under the terms of a Plan) pursuant to the terms of
the Plan.

(f)              If the Trustee makes payments from the Trust for the
benefit of the general. creditors of the
Employer under this Section and assets remain in the Trust after a payment of
assets  to the general creditors of
the Employer under this Section, each Plan participant’s allocable deemed
interest in Trust assets following cessation
of payments to the general creditors of the Employer shall  equal the value of the aggregate assets of the
Trust immediately following the date the Trustee last makes a payment
for the benefit of the Employer’s general creditors multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the value of the participant’s account on the date
the Trustee deems the Employer to be Insolvent and ceases payments to the Plan
participants and their beneficiaries less payments made to or on behalf of the
participant under the Plan since that date (whether or not directly from the Trust) and the denominator of
which is the value of all Plan participants’ accounts.  on the date the Trustee deems the Employer to be
Insolvent and ceases payments to Plan participants  and their beneficiaries less the aggregate amount
of payments made to or on behalf of all participants under the Plan
since that date (whether or not from the Trust).

 3
 

4.3          RECOMMENCEMENT OF
PAYMENTS. If the
Trustee discontinues payments from the Trust
to the participant or his or her beneficiaries pursuant to Section 4.1 and
subsequently resumes payments, the first payments following the
discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments which would have
been made to the participant or his or her beneficiaries (together with the
deemed- earnings or losses on the payments under the terms of the Plan) in
accordance with the Plan during the period of discontinuance, less the
aggregate amount of payments, if any, made to the participant or his or her
beneficiaries by the Employer in lieu of the payments provided for under this
Trust Agreement during any period of discontinuance.

ARTICLE 5

PAYMENTS TO EMPLOYER

5.1          PAYMENTS TO THE
EMPLOYER. Except
as provided in this Trust Agreement or in the Plan, the Employer shall have no
right or power to direct the Trustee to return to the Employer or to divert to
others any of the Trust assets before all payments of benefits have been made
to Plan participants and beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

ARTICLE
6

INVESTMENT AUTHORITY

6.1          TRUSTEE AUTHORITY. Except as provided in Section 6.2, all
rights associated with assets of the Trust
shall be exercised by the Trustee or the person designated by the Trustee, and
shall in no event be exercisable by or rest
with any Plan participant or beneficiary or the Employer.  The Trustee shall have the following powers with
respect to any and all monies, securities and other  assets at any time held by it and constituting

(plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as  a result of the distribution), after taking into
account the extent to which the hardship is or may be relieved through
reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of my
assets (to the extent the liquidation of assets would not itself cause severe
financial hardship).

I also understand that a hardship distribution will be made only with
the consent of Bradford Bank or its designee and only in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code section 409A.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is
made as of June 3, 2007 with an effective date of June 18, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), by and between MISSION COMMUNITY
BANK (the “Bank”), having a
principal place of business at 581 Higuera Street, San Luis Obispo,
California  93406, and BROOKS WISE (“Executive”), whose residence address is 545
Sandy Oaks Lane, Nipomo, California 93444-5400, with reference to the following:

R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, the Bank is a banking corporation duly organized, validly existing,
and in good standing under the laws of the State of California, with power to
own property and carry on its business as it is now being conducted;

WHEREAS, the Bank desires to continue to avail itself of the skill, knowledge,
and experience of Executive in order to insure the successful management of its
business;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to specify the terms of Executive’s
employment by the Bank;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
set forth, and intending to be legally bound, it is agreed that from and after
the Effective Date, the following terms and conditions shall apply to Executive’s
said employment:

A G R E E M E N T

A.            TERM OF EMPLOYMENT

1.             Term.  The Bank hereby employs
Executive and Executive hereby accepts employment with the Bank for the period
commencing on the Effective Date and terminating December 31, 2009, unless
terminated earlier as provided for in this Agreement (the “Term”). 
Where used herein, “Term” shall refer to the entire period of employment
of Executive by Bank hereunder, whether for the period provided above,
including any extensions thereof, or whether terminated earlier as hereinafter
provided.

B.            DUTIES OF EXECUTIVE

1.             Duties.  Executive shall perform the
duties of President of the Bank, subject to the powers by law vested in the
Board of Directors of the Bank and in the Bank’s shareholders.  Executive shall report to the Chief Executive
Officer of the Bank.  The duties of
Executive may be changed or supplemented by the Bank without a resulting
recision of this Agreement. 
Notwithstanding any such change from the duties originally assigned and
specified above, or hereafter assigned, the employment of Executive shall be
construed as continuing under this Agreement as modified.  Without limiting the foregoing, Executive
agrees to hold such positions with Mission Community Bancorp (the “Company”) as the Company may direct without payment of
additional compensation.  During the
Term, Executive shall perform exclusively the services herein contemplated to
be performed by Executive faithfully, diligently, and to the best of Executive’s
ability, consistent with the highest and best standards of the banking industry
and in compliance with all applicable laws

and
the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and internal written policies.  Executive shall also be nominated by the
Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank to serve as a director of the
Company and the Bank during the Term.  

2.             Conflicts of Interest. 
Except as permitted by the prior written consent of the Board of
Directors of the Bank, Executive shall devote Executive’s entire productive
time, ability, and attention to the business of the Bank during the Term, and
Executive shall not directly or indirectly render any services of a business,
commercial, or professional nature, to any other person, firm, or corporation,
whether for compensation or otherwise, which are in conflict with the Bank’s
interest.  

C.            COMPENSATION

1.             Base Salary.  For Executive’s services
hereunder, commencing on the Effective Date, the Bank shall pay or cause to be
paid as annual base salary to Executive the sum of not less than One Hundred
Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($135,000) for each year (i.e., 12-month period)
of the Term (the “Base Salary”).  Said salary shall be payable in equal
installments in conformity with Bank’s normal payroll periods.  Annual increases, if any, may be made in the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors.

2.             Bonuses.  During the Term, Executive
shall be entitled to receive as an incentive, a bonus as determined and payable
in accordance with the Bank’s Officers’ Incentive Compensation Program as set
forth on Exhibit “A” hereto, as it may be amended from time to time by mutual
agreement of the Board of Directors and Executive, together with such other
bonus as the Board of Directors shall determine from time to time in its sole
and absolute discretion (collectively, the “Incentive
Bonus”).  The bonus for 2007
shall be prorated to take account of Executive’s partial service for such
year.  

D.            EXECUTIVE BENEFITS

1.             Vacation and Sick Pay.  Executive
shall be entitled to four (4) weeks vacation during each year of the Term;
provided, however, that for each year of the Term, Executive is required to and
shall take at least two (2) weeks of said vacation (the “Mandatory
Vacation”), which shall be taken consecutively.  Any vacation time not used in excess of the
Mandatory Vacation may be accumulated in accordance with Bank’s Personnel
Policy.  Executive shall also be entitled
to sick pay in accordance with Bank’s Personnel Policy.

2.             Automobile Allowance. 
During the Term, the Bank shall provide Executive with a $750.00 per
month automobile allowance.  Provided the
Bank pays the foregoing automobile allowance, the Bank shall have no other
duty, responsibility or liability on account of Executive’s automobile and at
all times during the Term, Executive shall maintain such insurance on the
automobile including, without limitation, liability for personal injury and
property damage as the Bank shall from time to time reasonably require to
protect Bank against any loss which may arise from Executive’s use of the
automobile while working for the Bank.

3.             Group Medical and Life Insurance Benefits.  The Bank
shall provide for Executive, at Bank’s expense, participation in the Bank’s
existing medical, dental, vision, accident, health and life insurance benefits
in accordance with benefits provided to Bank

 2
 

employees
generally, but at a level commensurate with other officers of the Bank (collectively,
the “Insurance Coverage”).  Said Insurance Coverage shall be in existence
as of the Effective Date hereof and shall continue throughout the Term.  The Bank’s liability to Executive for any
breach of this Paragraph D.3 shall be limited to the amount of premiums
required hereunder to be payable by the Bank to obtain or maintain, as applicable,
the coverages contemplated herein.

4.             Stock Options.  By
separate stock option agreement Executive shall also be given the option to
purchase a number of shares of the Company common stock equal to the lesser of
(a) 25,000 shares or (b) 5.0% of the number of shares issued in the first
public offering of Company shares occurring after the Effective Date and prior
to December 31, 2007, which option shall be granted as of the date of the final
closing of such offering.  The exercise
price per share shall be equal to the greater of the fair market value per
share of the common stock of the Company on the date of grant or the offering
price in such offering.  In the event the
offering is not completed, no options will be issued.  The term of the option shall be ten years and
shall vest in five (5) annual installments of 20% per year over a period of
five (5) years, with the first such installment to vest one year after the
Effective Date and with subsequent installments vesting on the second, third,
fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date.  The option shall be a non-qualified option
for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  The shares to be issued upon the exercise of
the option will be restricted securities, will not be required to be registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, and may not be sold by Executive except pursuant
to an effective registration statement or applicable exemption therefrom.  The stock option agreement shall set forth
additional terms for such option.  

5.             Additional Benefits. 
Executive shall be entitled to participate in all programs, rights and
benefits for which Executive is otherwise entitled under any 401(k) plan, bonus
plan, incentive plan, participation plan, extra compensation plan, pension
plan, profit sharing plan, savings plan, life, medical, dental, other health
care, disability or other insurance plan or policy or other plan or benefit
Bank may provide for senior executives or for employees of Bank generally, from
time to time, in effect during the Term. 

6.             Club Membership.  The
Bank shall pay or reimburse Executive for all dues associated with a country
club membership of Executive at a club approved by the Board’s Compensation
Committee, and shall also reimburse Executive for all business expenses
associated with club use in accordance with Bank’s reimbursement policies.

E.             REIMBURSEMENT FOR BUSINESS EXPENSES

1.             Business Expenses.  Executive
shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Bank for any ordinary and necessary
business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s
duties and in acting for the Bank during the Term, which types of expenditures
shall be determined by the Board of Directors, provided that:

(a)           Each
such expenditure is of a nature qualifying it as a proper deduction on the
federal and state income tax returns of the Bank as a business expense and not
as a deductible compensation to Executive; and

(b)           Executive
furnishes  to  the 
Bank  adequate records and other
documentary evidence required by federal and state statutes and regulations
issued by the

 3
 

appropriate
taxing authorities  for  the 
substantiation  of  such 
expenditures  as deductible
business expenses of the Bank and not as deductible compensation to Executive.

2.             Reimbursement. 
Executive agrees that, if at any time payment made to Executive by Bank
for business expense reimbursement shall be disallowed in whole or in part as
deductible business expense by the appropriate taxing authorities, the amount
so disallowed shall be treated as taxable compensation to Executive.

F.             TERMINATION

1.             Termination for Cause.  The
Bank may terminate Executive’s employment at any time by action of the Board of
Directors for “cause” if:

(a)           Executive
fails to perform or habitually neglects the duties which Executive is required
to perform hereunder;

(b)           if
Executive engages in illegal activity which materially adversely affects the
Bank’s reputation in the community or which evidences the lack of Executive’s
fitness or ability to perform Executive’s duties as reasonably determined by
the Board of Directors, in good faith;

(c)           Executive
commits any act which would cause termination of coverage under the Bank’s
Bankers’ Blanket Bond as to Executive or as to the Bank as a whole;

(d)           any
regulatory authority having supervisory authority over Bank exercises its cease
and desist powers to remove Executive from office or advises Bank that
Executive should be removed from office;

(e)           if
the Bank is closed by or taken over by the California Commissioner of Financial
Institutions or other supervisory authority, including the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation;

(f)            in
the event of Executive’s death, or if Executive is found to be physically or
mentally incapable of performing Executive’s duties for a period of ninety (90)
days or greater by the Board of Directors, in good faith; or

(g)           any
other act or omission which would constitute “cause” under California law
occurs.  Such termination shall not
prejudice any remedy which the Bank may have at law, in equity, or under this
Agreement.

Termination pursuant to this Paragraph F.1 shall become effective upon
written notice of termination.

2.             Change in Control Event.  In
the event of a “Change of Control” Executive’s employment with the Bank may not
be terminated by Bank, the surviving or resulting entity or the transferee of
the Bank’s assets.  In the event of a “Change
of Control” Executive may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement
for “Good Cause.”

 4
 

(a)               A
Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i)            
there shall be consummated (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company,
other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company’s Common
Stock immediately prior to the merger have substantially the same proportionate
ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the
merger, in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation, or
pursuant to which shares of the Company’s Common Stock would be converted in
whole or in part into cash, securities or other property, if as a result of the
consolidation or merger, the continuing or surviving corporation acquired more
than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the Company’s
Common Stock, or (B) any sale, lease, exchange or transfer (in one transaction
or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all the assets
(which shall be defined as more than 50% of the total gross fair market value
of all of the assets) of the Company, or

(ii)           the
shareholders of the Company shall approve any plan or proposal for the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or

(iii)          any “person”
(as such term is used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), other than the Company or a
subsidiary thereof or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the
shareholder of the Company, shall become the beneficial owner (within the
meaning of Rule 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company
representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing in special
circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors, as a
result of a tender or exchange offer, open market purchases, privately
negotiated purchases or otherwise, or

(iv)          at
any time during a twelve-month period, individuals who, at the beginning of
such period, constituted the Board of Directors of the Company shall cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election or
the nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders of each new director
during such twelve-month period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of
such twelve-month period, or

(v)           any “person”
(as such term is used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), other than the Company, Bank or a
subsidiary thereof or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the
shareholder of the Company or Bank, shall become the beneficial owner (within
the meaning of Rule 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Bank
representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Bank’s then
outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing in special
circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors, as a
result of a tender or exchange offer, open market purchases, privately
negotiated purchases or otherwise.

(b)           The
following shall constitute “Good Cause”:

(i)            subsequent
to a Change of Control, and without Executive’s express written consent, the
assignment to Executive of any duties substantially inconsistent with Executive’s
positions, duties, responsibilities and status with Bank immediately prior to
the Change of Control, or a substantial change in Executive’s reporting

 5
 

responsibilities,
titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control, or
any removal of Executive from or any failure to re-elect Executive to any of
such positions, except in connection with the termination of Executive’s
employment pursuant to Paragraph F.1 hereof, or as a result of Executive’s
retirement, or by Executive other than for Good Cause;

(ii)           subsequent
to a Change of Control a 10% or greater reduction by Bank in Executive’s Base Salary
and benefits as in effect on the Effective Date or as the same may be increased
from time to time;

(iii)          subsequent
to a Change of Control and without Executive’s express written consent, Bank’s
requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than within 15 miles of Bank’s
main office location immediately prior to the Change of Control, exclusive of
required travel on Bank business; or

(iv)          subsequent
to a Change of Control, the failure by Bank to obtain the assumption of the agreement
to perform this Agreement by any successor as contemplated in Paragraph G.5 hereof.

3.             Termination Without Cause. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is agreed
by the parties hereto that either the Bank or Executive may at any time elect
to terminate Executive’s employment by the Bank for any reason.  Such termination shall be effective upon the
giving of not less than five (5) days prior written notice where the Bank is
terminating Executive’s employment and upon the giving of not less than sixty
(60) days’ prior written notice where Executive is terminating Executive’s
employment hereunder.

4.             Expiration of Term Without Renewal.  If
the Bank is unwilling, for any reason whatsoever, to enter into a new
employment agreement with Executive at the expiration of the full Term, or the
Executive and Bank are unable to reach a mutually agreeable contract prior to
the expiration of a full Term, or Executive decides to retire or to take
employment elsewhere at the expiration of the full Term, then Executive=s employment with Bank shall terminate at the
end of the full Term.

5.             Effect of Termination.

(a)           In
the event Executive=s employment with Bank is terminated for any
of the reasons specified in Paragraphs F.1 or F.3 (as a result of Executive’s
election to terminate) of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to (i)
the Base Salary and Incentive Bonus earned by Executive prior to the date of
termination, computed pro rata up to and including that date, and (ii) accrued
but unused vacation time, but Executive shall be entitled to no further
compensation or benefits otherwise provided for or contemplated under this
Agreement.

(b)           In
the event Executive=s employment with Bank is terminated pursuant
to Paragraph F.3 of this Agreement (as a result of Bank’s election to terminate
and no Change of Control has occurred), Executive shall be entitled to (i) the
Base Salary and Incentive Bonus earned by Executive prior to the date of
termination, computed up to and including that date, (ii) accrued but unused
vacation time, and (iii) an amount equal to six (6) months of Executive’s Base
Salary in effect immediately prior to the date of termination,

 6
 

payable
in equal installments over six (6) months in accordance with the Bank’s normal
payroll periods.

(c)           In
the event Executive=s employment with Bank is terminated pursuant
to Paragraph F.2 of this Agreement (as a result of Executive’s election to
terminate for Good Cause), or by Bank or the resulting or surviving entity
pursuant to Paragraph F.3 after a Change of Control has occurred, Executive
shall be entitled to (i) the Base Salary and Incentive Bonus earned by
Executive prior to the date of termination, computed pro rata up to and
including that date, (ii) accrued but unused vacation time, (iii) the
continuation of the Insurance Coverage as provided in Paragraph D.3 hereof and
the automobile allowance as provided in Paragraph D.2 hereof for a period of twelve
(12) months from and after the date of termination, and (iv) an amount equal to
twelve (12) months of Executive’s Base Salary in effect immediately prior to
the date of termination in a lump sum payment.

(d)           The
payment of such benefits shall discharge Bank from any further liability to
Executive under this Agreement.

(e)           In
the event Executive=s employment with Bank and the Term are
terminated pursuant to Paragraph F of this Agreement, the provisions of
Paragraph G hereof shall survive said termination and shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

(f)            In
the event Executive=s employment with Bank is terminated in
accordance with this Paragraph F of this Agreement (whether by Executive or
Bank) and at such time Executive is a member of the Board of Directors of
Company, Bank or any subsidiary thereof, or holds any other office thereof,
Executive shall, and hereby agrees to, tender Executive=s resignation from the Board of Directors of
the Company, Bank and all subsidiaries thereof and any committees thereof and
all other offices of the Company, Bank and all subsidiaries thereof then held
by Executive effective on the date of termination.  If such resignation is not received by the
Bank within three (3) days after the date of termination, Executive hereby
authorizes and directs the Board of Directors of all such entities to consider
the failure to so act as Executive’s resignation from all said positions
effective as of the date of termination.

6.             Golden Parachute Limitation. 
Severance compensation as provided above will be reduced as provided
below to the extent required to avoid the penalties imposed on “parachute
payments” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

(a)           If the present value of all Executive’s
severance compensation provided by the Bank hereunder and outside this
Agreement is high enough to cause any such payment to be a “parachute payment”
(as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then one or more of such
payments will be reduced by the minimum amount required to prevent the
severance compensation under this Agreement from being a “parachute payment.”

(b)           Executive may direct the Bank regarding the
order of reducing severance compensation and other payments from the Bank to
comply with this Paragraph F.6.

 7
 

G.            GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.             Trade Secrets.  During
the Term, Executive will have access to and become acquainted with what
Executive and Bank acknowledge are trade secrets; to wit, knowledge or data concerning

if Executive has not, that Executive has had the opportunity to do so, and
hereby waives any claim, objection, or defense on the grounds that this
Agreement has not been reviewed by legal counsel of Executive’s choice.

Exhibit A

BANK’S
OFFICERS’ INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

PURPOSE

The
purpose of the Incentive Compensation Plan (“Plan”) is to provide an incentive
to key employees to improve the Bank’s financial performance, and to provide a
vehicle for awarding exceptional performance. 
Incentives are based on the achievement of annual financial objectives
consistent with the Bank’s long-term goals.

ELIGIBLITY

All
Corporate Officers and designated Loan Officers of Mission Community Bank are
eligible to participate in the Plan. 
Target awards are based on production and grouping.

A
minimum of three months continuous service with Mission Community Bank is
necessary in order to be eligible for an award under the Plan.

PLAN ADMINISTRATION

A
Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) administers the
Plan, which approves:  (1) plan
participants, (2) bonus award levels, (3) bank and Production objectives and
target performance levels.  The Committee
also approves final incentive payouts at the end of the plan year.  The CEO of the Bank is delegated the
responsibility for the day-to-day administration of the Plan, the objectives
and the awards for the officers for quarterly production awards.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

Awards
under the Plan are based on achievement of annual Bank objectives and
Production objectives.  The weighting of
Bank objectives is dependent on the position the participating employee holds
within the Bank.

PRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES

Production
objectives are established for each participating officer based on the Bank’s
annual goals and budget.  Production
objectives are specified at the beginning of the Plan year.

Depending
on annual goals for the Bank, Production objectives will typically include
commercial and construction loans, commercial real estate loans, consumer
loans, equity lines of credit, leases, and deposits.  The measurement of Production objectives will
be based on gross loan origination and net growth in deposits.  In addition, award payout guidelines include
the following stipulations:

·                  Loans
which are 60 consecutive days delinquent for payment or by maturity, or are
adversely classed as “substandard” or “doubtful” during the first twelve months
of the a loan will result in a 50% commission charge back to the production
officer.

·                  Loans
which are classified “loss” during the first twelve months of a loan will
result in a 100% commission charge back to the production officer.

·                  Commercial
Lines of Credit will be commissioned at 50% of the commitment amount.\

·                  For
Participation sold, incentive will be based on amount of loan retained by the
Bank.

The
Bank offers a separate Brokered Loan Incentive Program.  The loans that are brokered to a secondary
market lender are paid a referral fee and are not a part of the production
objectives.  The Bank also offers a
separate Sales Referral Incentive Program for SBA loans and Leases referred,
approved and funded.

If more than one Production
Officer participates in the origination and funding of a loan, they will share
the incentive award based on terms outlined by the Incentive Sharing
Agreement.  For deposit incentives, the
award is based on the quarterly increase in average balance.  All officers, production or support, are
eligible for deposit incentives. 
Officers will be paid on a pro-rata share of the increase in average
balance.

 12
 

INCENTIVE AWARDS

Incentive awards for Production
Officers are paid out quarterly.  Support
Officers will receive a quarterly pay out for deposit incentives.  At year end, payout
calculation is “trued up,” i.e. calculated on a year-to-date basis and
incentive paid year-to-date subtracted out to arrive at 4th quarter payout.

Final awards for the Bank are
distributed following the end of the Plan year. 
Awards for Support officers and Branch managers are calculated against
the achievement of Bank objectives as shown below (as % of base salary).
