 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 1, 2002 (the “Effective Date”) by and between BANK OF ORANGE COUNTY, a California banking corporation (“Bank”) and ROBERT CAMPBELL
(“Employee”) (collectively sometimes referred to as the “Parties”): 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into an agreement for the purpose of retaining Employee’s services as President and Chief Executive Officer of Bank; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties intend this Agreement to supersede any and all
previous employment agreements between the Employee and Bank (and each of its parent companies, stockholders, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates, including California Community Bancshares, Inc.), if any; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
  
 1. Employment and Duties. Employee is hereby employed by
Bank as President and Chief Executive Officer of Bank. Employee shall be responsible for performing such duties as are customarily and ordinarily performed by the president and chief executive officer of a bank. Employee will also perform such
duties as he may, from time to time, be called upon to assist companies affiliated with Bank, and such other attendant duties as he may, from time to time, be reasonably requested to perform by the Board of Directors of Bank (the
“Board”). 
  
 2. Extent of Services.

  
 (a) Exclusive
Employment. Employee shall devote his full time, ability and attention to the business of Bank and its parent companies, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates, during the Employment Term, and shall neither directly nor indirectly render any
services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person, firm, corporation or organization for compensation without the prior written consent of the Board. 
  
 (b) Employee Investment Activities. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
preventing Employee from (i) investing his personal assets in businesses which do not compete with Bank in such form or manner as will not require any services on the part of Employee in the operation or the affairs of the companies in which such
investments are made and in which his participation is solely that of an investor, (ii) purchasing securities in any corporation whose securities are regularly traded provided that such purchase shall not result in Employee collectively owning
beneficially at any time five percent or more of the equity securities of any corporation engaged in a business competitive to that of Bank, and (iii) participating in conferences, preparing or publishing papers or books or teaching so long as Bank
approves of such activities prior to Employee’s engaging in them. 
  
 3. Term of Employment. Subject to prior termination of this Agreement as hereinafter provided in section 6, Bank hereby employs Employee, and Employee hereby accepts employment with Bank, for a period of three (3) years
beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Employment Term”). 
  

 -1- 

 4. Termination of Prior Employment Agreements. Bank and Employee agree that as of
the Effective Date, all prior employment agreements between Employee and Bank (and/or any parent company, stockholder, subsidiary, division or affiliate thereof, including California Community Bancshares, Inc.) are hereby canceled, terminated,
rescinded and superceded. 
  
 5. Compensation and
Benefits. In consideration of Employee’s services to Bank during the Employment Term, Bank agrees to compensate Employee, subject to such limitations as may exist under any federal or state banking law or regulation, as follows:

  
 (a) Base Compensation.
Bank shall pay or cause to be paid to Employee a base compensation of $200,000 per year for the first twelve (12) months of the Employment Term (hereinafter the “Base Salary”), less payroll taxes and withholding required by federal, state
or local law and any additional withholding to which Employee agrees in writing. Said Base Salary shall be payable in semi-monthly installments in accordance with Bank’s normal payroll procedures. The Board shall review the Base Salary not less
than sixty (60) days prior to the first and each subsequent anniversary date of the Effective Date and shall determine, in its sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion, whether to increase the Base Salary for the subsequent twelve (12) months of
the Employment Term. Any increase in Base Salary so determined by the Board shall become effective as of such anniversary date. The Base Salary shall be pro rated for any partial year in which this Agreement is in effect. 
  
 (b) Executive Incentive Bonus. In
addition to the Base Salary, in the event the Bank should establish a Bank Executive Incentive Plan, Employee shall be eligible to participate in said plan, in accordance with the terms and conditions of said plan, as the Bank, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may establish from time to time. 
  
 (c) Deferred Compensation. In the event the Bank should establish a deferred compensation plan, Employee shall be eligible to participate in said plan, in accordance with the terms and conditions of said plan, as the
Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may establish from time to time. 
  
 (d) General Expenses. Bank shall, upon submission and approval of written statements and bills in accordance with the then regular procedures of Bank, reimburse Employee for any and all reasonable
necessary, customary and usual expenses incurred by him while traveling for or on behalf of Bank, and any and all other necessary, customary or usual expenses (including entertainment expenses) incurred by Employee for or on behalf of Bank in the
normal course of business, as determined to be appropriate by Bank. 
  
 (e) Health, Life and Disability Insurance. Bank shall provide for Employee’s participation, at Bank’s expense, in group medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance benefits
equivalent to the maximum benefits available under the group insurance programs maintained by Bank for its employees. Employee shall have the right, in Employee’s discretion, to designate the beneficiary or beneficiaries of any such insurance.
As provided under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) respecting continuation of any insurance coverage, Employee shall, upon a loss of any such coverage for himself under Bank’s health, dental, and/or
vision plans (if any) resulting from (1) termination of Employee’s employment (for any reason other than for gross misconduct) or (2) a reduction in his hours, be 

  

 -2- 

 
entitled to exercise his COBRA rights. Employee shall pay all premiums for any such continuation coverage(s) elected by Employee. 
  
 (f) Automobile Allowance. During the
Employment Term, Employee shall be entitled to an automobile allowance in the amount of $800.00 per month (less payroll taxes and withholding required by federal, state or local law). Except for this automobile allowance, Bank shall not be obligated
to pay any other expenditure with respect to the ownership or operation of Employee’s automobile, and Employee will be responsible for all out-of-pocket automobile expenses, including, but not limited to, registration, insurance, repairs,
maintenance and gasoline. Employee shall procure and maintain an automobile liability insurance policy on the automobile, with coverage including Employee for at least a minimum of $300,000 for bodily injury or death to any one person in any one
accident, and $100,000 for property damage in any one accident. The Bank shall be named as an additional insured and Employee shall provide Bank with copies of policies evidencing insurance and Bank’s inclusion as an additional insured.

  
 (g) Vacation. Employee
shall be entitled to four weeks (20 days) paid vacation leave per year, which shall accrue on a daily basis. Such vacation leave shall be taken at such time or times as are mutually agreed upon by Employee and the Board and in accordance with
Bank’s vacation leave policy, provided, that at least two (2) weeks of such vacation shall be taken consecutively. Employee acknowledges that the requirement of two (2) consecutive weeks of vacation is required by sound banking practice. For
each calendar year, the Board shall decide, in its discretion, either (1) to pay Employee for any unused vacation time for such calendar year or (2) to carry over any unused vacation time for such calendar year to the next calendar year, provided,
however, that Employee shall not accrue additional vacation time at any time that the Employee has accrued and unused vacation time of seven (7) weeks. 
  
 (h) Other Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to participate during the Employment Term in all employee benefit,
welfare and other plans, practices, policies and programs generally applicable to similarly situated employees of Bank as are in effect from time to time, in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions thereof. Bank reserves the right to
modify and amend such benefits, plans, practices, policies and programs from time to time.

 (d) Early Termination by Bank for Cause. This Agreement and Employee’s employment
may be terminated for cause by Bank upon written notice to Employee, and Employee shall not be entitled to receive Base Salary or any other compensation or other benefits for any period after termination for cause. Employee understands and agrees
that his satisfactory performance of this Agreement requires conformance with reasonable standards of diligence, competence, skill, judgment and efficiency of a person holding a position that is analogous to the position of president and/or chief
executive officer of a bank similar to Bank, and as prescribed by California and federal banking laws and regulations, and that failure to conform to such standards is cause for termination of this Agreement by Bank. Termination for cause pursuant
to this section 6(d) shall include, but is not be limited to, the following: 
  
 (i) Any act of material dishonesty; 
  
 (ii) Any material breach of this Agreement;

regulatory restrictions imposed as a result thereof, would have a material adverse effect on the business or financial prospects of Bank; 
  
 (vi) Any conviction of any felony which may be reasonably interpreted to be harmful to the Bank’s reputation ; 
  
 (vii) Any failure by Employee to qualify at any time
during the Employment Term for any fidelity bond as described in section 8 of this Agreement; 
  
 (viii) The requirement to comply with any final cease-and-desist order or written agreement with any applicable state or federal
bank regulatory authority which requests or orders Employee’s dismissal or limits Employee’s employment duties; 
  
 (ix) Any conduct which constitutes unfair competition with the Bank or any parent company, stockholder, subsidiary, division or

 (x) The inducement of any
client, customer, agent or employee to break any contract or terminate the agency or employment relationship with the Bank or any parent company, stockholder, subsidiary, division or affiliate. 
  
 Termination for cause by Bank shall not constitute a waiver of any remedies
that may otherwise be available to Bank under law, equity, or this Agreement. 
  
 In the event that Employee is terminated pursuant to this section 6(d), Employee shall be entitled to receive Vested Benefits, as defined hereinabove, and COBRA rights, as defined hereinabove.

Employee (for other than Good Reason as defined in section 6(a)) may terminate this Agreement upon 90 days’ written notice to Bank. Employee shall continue to perform his duties under this Agreement until the end of such 90 day period, provided
however, that Bank may, at its option, immediately terminate this Agreement, upon notice to Employee, and in the event that Bank so elects to terminate this Agreement, Bank shall continue to pay Employee his normal compensation through the end of
such 90 day period. Thereafter, Employee shall not be entitled to receive compensation or other benefits under this Agreement, provided, however, that Employee shall be entitled to receive Vested Benefits, as defined hereinabove, and COBRA rights,
as defined hereinabove. 
  
 (f) Early
Termination Upon Disability. This Agreement and all benefits hereunder shall terminate if Employee is not able, as a result of an illness or other physical or mental disability, to perform the essential functions of his position as required
by this Agreement for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days or in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days in any one (1) year period, notwithstanding reasonable accommodation by Bank to Employee’s known physical or mental disability, solely
in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 29 U.S.C. sections 12101-213 or any other state or local law governing the employment of disabled persons (the “ADA”) provided such accommodation would
not impose an undue hardship on the operation of Bank’s business or a direct threat to the 

  

 -7- 

 
Employee or others pursuant to the ADA. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Bank pursuant to this section 6(f): 
  
 (i) Employee shall be entitled to disability benefits
provided by the disability insurance coverage identified in section 5(e) of this Agreement; and 
  
 (ii) All other benefits provided for under this Agreement shall cease as of the date of termination (except insofar as the group
insurance benefits provided under section 5(e) may be continued or convertible by Employee as provided under COBRA or other laws applicable at the time of termination). 
  
 (iii) Employee shall also be entitled to receive Vested Benefits, as defined hereinabove. 

 
 For purposes of this Agreement, physical or mental disability shall mean
the inability of Employee to fully perform under this Agreement for a continuous period of ninety (90) days, as determined in the case of physical disability by a physician, or in the case of mental disability by a psychiatrist, both of whom must be
licensed to practice medicine in California and are to be selected with the approval of Bank and Employee. Upon demand by Bank, Employee shall act promptly to select such physician or psychiatrist jointly with Bank and shall consent to undergo any
reasonable examination or test. Recurrent disabilities will be treated as separate disabilities if they result from unrelated causes or if they result from the same or related cause or causes and are separated by a continuous period of at least
twelve (12) full months during which Employee was able to perform his duties hereunder equal to at least eighty percent (80%) of his capacity prior to disability. Otherwise, recurrent disabilities will be treated as a continuation of previous
disabilities for the purpose of determining the limitations established in this section. 
  
 (g) Death During Employment. This Agreement and all benefits hereunder shall terminate immediately upon the death of
Employee, except that Employee’s heirs or estate shall also be entitled to receive Vested Benefits, as defined hereinabove, and Employee’s dependants may be entitled to COBRA rights, as defined hereinabove. 
  
 7. Survival of Obligations. The provisions of sections
6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16 and 28 of this Agreement shall survive Employee’s termination of employment and the termination of this Agreement. Other provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination of Employee’s employment to the
extent necessary to the intended preservation of each Party’s respective rights and obligations. 
  
 8. Fidelity Bond. Employee agrees that he will furnish all information and take any other steps necessary to enable Bank to obtain or
maintain a fidelity bond conditional on the rendering of a true account by Employee of all moneys, goods, or other property which may come into the custody, charge or possession of Employee during the Employment Term. The surety company issuing the
bond and the amount of the bond must be acceptable to Bank and satisfy all banking laws and regulations. All premiums on the bond are to be paid by Bank. If Employee cannot qualify for a fidelity bond at any time during the term of this Agreement,
Bank shall have the option to terminate this Agreement immediately, which shall constitute a termination for cause as defined in section 6(d) hereof.

 9. Compliance with Bank Policies. Employee agrees to observe and comply with the
rules and regulations of Bank respecting the performance of his duties and to carry out and perform orders, directions and policies communicated to him from time to time. Employee agrees to comply with all rules and policies contained in any
applicable Employee Handbook which has been or will be issued by Bank. 
  
 10. Bank Property. All records, financial statements and similar documents obtained, reviewed or compiled by Employee in the course of the performance by him of services for Bank, whether or not confidential information
or trade secrets, shall be the exclusive property of Bank. Employee agrees to hold as Bank’s property, all memoranda, books, papers, letters, formulas and other data, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to Bank’s
business and affairs, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession, and on termination of his employment, or on demand of Bank, at any time to deliver the same to Bank. Employee shall have no rights in such documents upon any
termination of his employment.

 (b) During his employment with Bank, Employee will not use, copy, transmit or otherwise disclose Bank’s Proprietary
Information for any purpose other than for the benefit of Bank, and Employee will make all reasonable efforts to protect the confidential nature of such information. Employee will not disclose Bank’s Proprietary Information to anyone not
entitled to such disclosure without the advance written permission of the Chairman of the Board.

 13. Equitable Relief. Employee acknowledges that any
breach or threatened breach by him of the provisions of sections 10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement will result in immediate and irreparable harm to Bank, for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, and that Bank will be entitled (subject to
section 28) to equitable relief to restrain Employee from violating the terms of these sections, or to compel Employee to cease and desist all unauthorized use and disclosure of the Confidential Information, without posting bond or other security.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including recovery of damages from Employee. 
  
 14. Property of Others. Employee represents that his
performance under this Agreement does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence confidential information or trade secrets, if any, acquired by Employee in confidence prior to this Agreement.

Employee represents, as part of the consideration for entering into this Agreement, that he has not brought and will not bring to Bank or use in the performance of his responsibilities at Bank any equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret

the maximum extent permitted under the Bylaws of Bank and governing laws and regulations, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Employee in connection
with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding to which Employee is made a party by reason of his position as an officer or agent of Bank or by reason of his service at the request of Bank, if Employee acted in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Bank. If available at rates determined by Bank, in its sole discretion, to be reasonable, Bank shall endeavor to apply for and obtain Directors’ and Officers’ Liability
Insurance to indemnify and insure Bank and Employee from such liability or loss. Employee shall indemnify Bank from and against all costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), liability and damages arising out of any act of misconduct, other

Agreement shall be deemed a material breach of that Party’s obligations hereunder, provided, however, that no breach of a monetary obligation shall be deemed a material breach until the Party allegedly in breach has failed to cure said breach
within seven (7) business days after the aggrieved Party delivers written notice of such breach to the other Party.

assets, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the surviving business entity or the business entity to which such
assets shall be transferred. This section shall not serve to diminish Employee’s rights pursuant to section 6(b) above. 
  
 19. Tax Consequences. Employee is urged to review with his own tax advisors the federal and state tax consequences of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Employee is relying solely on such advisors (if any) and not on any statements or representations of Bank or any of its agents. 
  
 20. Withholding. All payments provided for hereunder shall be reduced by payroll taxes and withholding
required by any federal, state or local law, and any additional withholding to which Employee has agreed in writing. 
  
 21. Notices. Any notices to be given hereunder by either Party to the other may be effected in writing either by personal delivery or
by mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid with return receipt requested. Notices to Bank shall be given to Bank at its then current principal office, c/o Chairman of the Board of Directors. Notices to Employee shall be sent to
Employee’s last known personal residence. Notices delivered personally shall be deemed communicated as of actual receipt; mailed notices shall be deemed communicated as of five (5) calendar days after mailing. 
  
 22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any and
all other agreements, either oral or in writing, between the Parties (or between Employee and California Community Bancshares, Inc., or any parent company, stockholder, subsidiary, division or affiliate thereof) with respect to the employment of
Employee (excluding only stock option agreements) and contains all of the covenants and agreements between the Parties with respect to such employment. Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or
agreements, oral or otherwise, have been made by any Party, or anyone acting on behalf of any Party, which are not embodied herein, and that no other agreement, statement or promise not contained in this Agreement shall be valid and binding.

  
 23. Amendment. This Agreement may be
changed or modified, or any provisions hereof waived, only by a writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change or modification is sought. 
  
 24. Severability. In the event that any term or condition contained in this Agreement shall, for any
reason, be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or non-enforceability shall not affect any other term or condition of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall
be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable term or condition had never been contained herein. 
  
 25. Choice of Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
California, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States. Any action or proceeding brought upon, or arising out of, this Agreement or its termination shall be brought in a forum located within the State of California, and Bank and
Employee hereby agree to be subject to service of process in California. 
  

 -12- 

 26. Waiver. The Parties hereto shall not be deemed to have waived any of their
respective rights under this Agreement unless the waiver is in writing and signed by such waiving Party. No delay in exercising any rights shall be a waiver nor shall a waiver on one occasion operate as a waiver of such right on a future occasion.

  
 27. Interpretation. This Agreement shall
be interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and not strictly for or against any of the Parties hereto. Captions and section headings used herein are for convenience and ready reference only and shall not be used in the
construction or interpretation thereof. 
  
 28.
Arbitration. In the event of any dispute, claim or controversy between the Employee and Bank (or any of Bank’s parent companies, stockholders, subsidiaries, divisions and/or affiliates and/or any of its or their respective
officers, partners, directors, members, managers, employees, agents or employees) arising out of this Agreement or the Employee’s employment with Bank, Employee and Bank agree to submit such dispute, claim or controversy to final and binding
arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The claims governed by this arbitration provision include, but are not limited to, claims
for breach of contract, civil torts and employment discrimination such as violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and other
employment laws. 
  
 (a) The arbitration
shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected either by mutual agreement of the Employee and Bank or, if they cannot agree, from an odd-numbered list of experienced employment law arbitrators provided by the American Arbitration Association.
Each Party shall strike one arbitrator from the list alternately until only one arbitrator remains. 
  
 (b) Each Party shall have the right to conduct reasonable discovery, as determined by the arbitrator. 
  
 (c) The arbitrator shall have all powers conferred by
law and a judgment may be entered on the award by a court of law having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall render a written arbitration award that contains the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The award and judgment
shall be binding and final on both Parties. 
  
 (d) Bank will pay the arbitrator’s fees and costs as well as any AAA administrative fees. The Parties shall each pay the fees of their own attorneys and the expenses of their own witnesses. 
  
 (e) This agreement to arbitrate shall continue during
Employment Term and thereafter regarding any employment-related disputes. 
  
 (f) The Employee and Bank understand that by signing this Agreement, they give up their right to a civil trial and their right to a trial by jury.

 EXHIBIT A 
  

RELEASE AGREEMENT 
  
 This Release Agreement (“Release”) was given to me, ROBERT C. CAMPBELL (“Employee”), this
             day of             ,
200            , by BANK OF ORANGE COUNTY, a California banking corporation (“Bank”). At such time as this Release becomes effective and enforceable (i.e., the revocation
period set forth below has expired), and assuming such Employee is otherwise eligible for payments under the terms of that certain Employment Agreement between Employee and Bank dated January 1, 2002 (the “Agreement”), Bank agrees to pay
Employee, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a single sum severance payment (including prorated incentive bonus, if applicable) in the amount of $             (less payroll
taxes and withholding required by any federal, state or local law, any additional withholding to which Employee has agreed, and any outstanding obligations owed by the Employee to Bank). 
  
 Employee is also entitled to receive (i) those benefits, if any, that have vested by operation of state or federal law or
under any written term of a plan (“Vested Benefits”), and (ii) health care coverage continuation rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended. 
  
 In consideration of the receipt of the promise to pay such amount, Employee
hereby agrees, for himself, his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (hereinafter referred to as the “Releasors”), to fully release and discharge Bank and each of its parent companies, stockholders, subsidiaries,
divisions and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, partners, directors, members, managers, employees and agents, and each of their respective predecessors, successors, heirs and assigns (hereinafter referred to as the
“Releasees”) from any and all claims, suits, causes of action, debts, obligations, costs, losses, liabilities, damages and demands under any federal, state or local law or laws, or contract, tort or common law, whether or not known,
suspected or claimed, which the Releasors have, or hereafter may have, against the Releasees arising out of or in any way related to Employee’s employment (or other contractual relationship) with Bank and/or the termination of that
relationship. The claims released herein include claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the U.S. Pregnancy
Discrimination Act, the U.S. Family and Medical Leave Act, the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, the U.S. Equal Pay Act, The Workers Adjustment and Notification Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and the California Labor Code.
Provided, however, that this Agreement does not waive rights or claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that may arise after the date this Release is executed. 
  
 It is understood and agreed that this Release extends to all such claims and/or potential claims, and that Employee, on
behalf of the Releasors, hereby expressly waives all rights with respect to all such claims under California Civil Code section 1542, which provides as follows: 
  

 -15- 

 A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. 
  
 The monies to be paid to the Employee in this Release are in addition to any sums to which he would be entitled without signing this Release. 

 
 Employee acknowledges that he has read and does understand the provisions
of this Release. Employee acknowledges that he affixes his signature hereto voluntarily and without coercion, and that no promise or inducement has been made other than those set out in this Release and that he executes this Release without reliance
on any representation by any Releasee. 
  
 Employee understands
that this Release involves the relinquishment of his legal rights, and that he has the right to, and has been given the opportunity to, consult with an attorney of his choice. Employee acknowledges that he has been (and hereby is) advised by Bank
that he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release. 
  
 This document does not constitute, and shall not be admissible as evidence of, an admission by any Releasee as to any fact or matter. 
  
 In case any part of this Release is later deemed to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, Employee agrees that the
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Release will not be affected in any way. 
  
 Employee acknowledges that he has been given a period of twenty-one (21) days from receipt of this Release within which to consider this Release and
decide whether or not to execute this Release. If Employee executes this Release at any time prior to the end of the 21 day period, such early execution was a knowing and voluntary waiver of Employee’s right to consider this Release for at
least 21 days, and was due to his belief that he had ample time in which to consider this Release. 
  
 Employee may, within seven (7) days of his execution and delivery of this Release, revoke this Release by a written document received by Bank on or before
the end of the seven (7) day period. The Release will not be effective until said revocation period has expired. No payments will be made hereunder if the Employee revokes this Release.
