ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the
consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Tehama Bancorp
(the "Company") for the quarter ending September 30, 1997, with comparative
data for Tehama Bank from the quarter ending September 30, 1996. The focus
is on information which is not otherwise apparent from the financial
statements in this quarterly report. Reference should be made to those
statements for a more thorough understanding of the analysis presented.
In the first quarter of 1997 Tehama Bank (the "Bank") acquired two new
branches, adding approximately $18,000,000 in deposits to the Bank's combined
balance sheet. Additional general ledger categories affected by these
acquisitions include: cash, investments, premises and equipment, interest
expense, personnel expense, occupancy and equipment expense and other
operating expenses. Financial statement comparisons of current and prior
periods will be somewhat skewed by these additions.
<PAGE>
Effective with the close of business on June 30, 1997 the Bank became a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In January 1997 the Bank and Humboldt
Bank (Eureka, California) formed Bancorp Financial Services, Inc. (BFS), a
jointly owned investment. BFS provides funding for small companies leasing
business/industrial equipment. Net income (loss) from BFS is split evenly
between both banks. During the initial nine months of operations the net
income (loss) contribution to the Bank from BFS has been minimal.
EARNINGS OVERVIEW
Consolidated net income in the third quarter 1997 totaled $273,182
contributing toward a year-to-date net income of $1,165,036. The third
quarter's net income decreased 39% from the prior quarter, as compared with a
41% decrease over the same period in 1996. Net income for the quarter was
affected by the consolidation of expenses incurred in the formation of
the Bank's holding company combined with other operating expenses paid by the
Company totaling $76,719. Year-to-date net income as of September 30, 1997
has decreased 14% from September 30, 1996 year-to-date net income. During
1997 the Bank has continued to experience significant loan growth, similar to
previous years, and in the third quarter increased its provision for loan
losses by $490,000 to ensure that adequate reserves are maintained for this
growing portfolio. Non-interest expenses associated with the acquisition of
two new branches in the first half of the year, together with a slowing in
deposit growth continue to also be factors contributing to the decrease in
year-to-date net income over the prior year. Earnings per share for the
third quarter 1997 totaled $0.16 compared to $0.28 for the third quarter
1996. Earnings per share year-to-date 1997 totaled $0.70 compared to $0.83
for the same period in 1996. Earnings per share are diluted by including
weighted average options in the shares outstanding.
NET INTEREST INCOME
The Company's sole source of income is dividends from the Bank. The
primary source of income for the Bank is net interest income, the difference
between interest earned on assets (loans and investments) and interest paid
on deposits taken by the Bank to fund these assets. Net interest income for
the quarter ending September 30, 1997 totaled $1,941,600, a 29% increase over
the $1,505,754 for the third quarter in 1996. Year-to-date net interest
income totals $5,364,093, a 24% increase over the prior year.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Total assets of $169,882,406 at September 30, 1997 represent an increase of
$31,760,160 or 23% from the 1996 year-end figure of $138,122,246. Net loans are
the largest component of growth, increasing $25,741,194 or 28% from December 31,
1996. Real estate loans account for approximately 49% of the total loan growth,
commercial loans account for approximately 26% and installment loans account for
approximately 25%. Total deposits of $152,994,685 at September 30, 1997
represent an increase of $31,391,979 or 26% from the 1996 year-end figure of
$121,602,706. As a component of total deposits, non-interest bearing deposits
grew from 18.8% at December 31, 1996 to 21.7% at September 30, 1997.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of outstanding loans as of
September 30, 1997 was 0.98%, compared to 0.97% as of December 31, 1996 and
1.00% as of December 31, 1995. The allowance for loan losses reflects
management's judgment as to the level which is considered adequate to absorb
potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. This allowance is increased by
provisions charged to expense and reduced by loan charge-offs, net of
recoveries. Management determines the provision charged to expense based on an
on-going analysis of the loan portfolio's product mix, delinquency ratios,
losses incurred and other factors.
<PAGE>
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income consists primarily of service charges on deposit
accounts, other fees and charges collected by the Bank for both deposit
accounts and loans, gain on sale of loans and fee income generated by the
Bank's Merchant Bankcard department. Year-to-date non-interest income
totaled $1,536,975 as of September 30, 1997, an increase of 13% over the same
period in 1996. Income generated by the Merchant Bankcard department
increased 9% over the same period in 1996 and accounts for approximately 64%
of total non-interest income year-to-date.
Deposit account service charges for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 increased 42% from the same period in 1996. The combined gain on sale
of loans and servicing fees on loans sold for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 increased 23% from the same period in 1996.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense consists of salaries and related benefits,
occupancy and equipment expense and other expenses including holding company
expenses. Non-interest expense totaled $4,317,758 as of September 30, 1997,
an increase of 33% over the same period in 1996. For the third quarter
non-interest expenses totaled $1,623,606 an increase of 45% over the same
period in 1996. This category of expense continues to be heavily impacted by
the acquisition of the two new branches earlier in the year. Together, the
ordinary non-interest expenses of these branches and the holding company
expenses account for approximately 47% of the total increase in year-to-date
non-interest expense over the prior year-to-date total.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes accrued through September 30, 1997 totaled $568,274 or
32.7% of net income before taxes. Accrued income taxes through the same
period in 1996 totaled $675,753 or 33.1% of net income before taxes.
Variations in volumes of tax-exempt securities, loans and leases, and their
respective income, are primarily responsible for the increased tax rate
compared to the decreased percentage of income before taxes in the two
periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
Liquidity, the ability of a company to generate sufficient amounts of
cash to meet its short-term and long-term needs, is commonly measured by the
ratio of net loans to total deposits. The lower the ratio the more liquid
the Company's current position. However, since loans are generally the
highest yielding earning asset, the Bank attempts to maximize earnings
through the generation of additional loans, while maintaining sufficient
liquidity to meet its obligations. The loan-to-deposit ratio as of September
30, 1997 was 76.7%, a small increase from the 75.4% ratio at December 31,
1996. For additional reference, this ratio was 71.7% at December 31, 1995
and 78.3% at December 31, 1994. Even with the significant growth in loans
during the first two quarters of 1997, the growth in deposits has helped
maintain an acceptable ratio and satisfactory liquidity position.
Capital adequacy is generally quantified by measures established by
regulatory agencies and requires the Bank to maintain minimum amounts of
capital and ratios of capital to assets. The Bank's total risk-based capital
ratio as of September 30, 1997 was 12.83%, compared to 17.7% at December 31,
1996 and the regulatory minimum of 10.0% for "Well-Capitalized" banking
institutions.

days) which have elapsed starting from the Effective Date of this Agreement
and ending on the earlier of: (a) the date Executive dies (except as
provided below in this Paragraph); (b) the date Executive Retires (as defined
below); (c) the date Executive ceases to be employed by Employer (other than
by reason of Disability, as defined
<PAGE>
below); or (d) in the case of Executive's Disability (as defined below), the
date Executive becomes Disabled (as defined below). Notwithstanding the
foregoing or the percentages set forth on Schedule "A," but subject to all
other terms and conditions set forth herein, the "Applicable Percentage"
shall be: (i) one hundred percent (100%) in the event the Executive dies
prior to Retirement but while employed full time by the employer; and (ii)
zero percent (0%) in the event the Executive takes any action which prevents
the Employer from collecting the proceeds of any life insurance policy which
the Employer may happen to own at the time of the Executive's death and of
which the Employer is the designated beneficiary.
1.4. BENEFICIARY. The term "beneficiary" or "designated
beneficiary" shall mean the person or persons whom the Executive shall
designate in a valid Beneficiary Designation, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit "B," to receive the benefits provided hereunder. A
Beneficiary Designation shall be valid only if it is in the form attached
hereto and made a part hereof and is received by the Administrator prior to
the Executive's death.
1.5. CHANGE IN CONTROL. The term "Change in Control" shall
mean, with respect to the Employer: (i) a change in control of the Employer
of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of

shares are listed which requires the reporting of a change in control; (ii)
any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Employer in which the
Employer does not survive; (iii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge,

transaction whereby any "person" (as such term is used in the Exchange Act or
any individual, corporation, partnership, trust or any other entity) becomes
the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Employer
representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power
of the Employer's then outstanding securities; or (v) a situation where, in
any one-year period, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constitute the Board of Directors of the Employer cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the
nomination for election by the Employer's shareholders, of each new director
is approved by a vote of at least three-quarters (3/4) of the directors then
still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.
1.6. THE CODE. The "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
1.7. DISABILITY/DISABLED. The term "Disability" or "Disabled"
shall have the same meaning given such term in the principal disability
insurance policy covering the Executive, which is incorporated herein by
reference to the limited extent thereof. In the event the Executive is not
covered by a disability policy containing a definition of "Disability" or
"Disabled," these terms shall mean an illness or incapacity which, having
continued for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive days,
prevents the Executive from adequately performing the Executive's regular
employment duties, as determined by an independent physician selected by
mutual agreement of the parties. For purposes of determining the Applicable
Percentage, the Executive shall be deemed to be Disabled as of the first day
on which the Executive is treated as being Disabled under the Executive's
principal disability insurance policy or, if no such policy exists, the one
hundred and eightieth (180th)
2
<PAGE>
consecutive day of the Executive's illness or incapacity, as determined

provide any significant personal services, whether as an employee or
independent consultant or contractor, to Employer and to, for, or on behalf
of, any other business entity conducting, performing or making available to
any person or entity banking or other financial services of any kind. For
purposes of this Agreement, the phrase "significant personal services" shall
mean more than ten (10) hours of personal services rendered to one or more
individuals or entities in any thirty (30) day period.
1.12. SURVIVING SPOUSE. The term "Surviving Spouse" shall mean
the person, if any, who shall be legally married to the Executive on the date
of the Executive's death.
1.13. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The term "Termination for Cause"

any written employment agreement entered into by and between the Employer and
the Executive;
(b) The willful breach of duty by the Executive in the course
of his employment;

responsibilities and duties;

and reasonableness, constitutes unfair competition with or induces any
customer to breach any contract with the Employer;
(h) Persistent substandard job performance as measured by the
system of performance review maintained by the Bank with respect to its
executive employees generally; or
(i) Action or conduct which, either by itself or as a
significant cause among other facts and circumstances, in the reasonable
opinion of management of the Bank exposes the Bank to a significant risk of
financial liability or regulatory criticism or discipline, including, without
limitation, action or conduct evidencing discrimination on the grounds of
race, color, sex (including sexual harassment and pregnancy), national
origin, ancestry, age (40 and over), mental or physical disability, or any
other grounds proscribed by law or Bank policy.
2. SCOPE, PURPOSE AND EFFECT.
2.1. CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. Although this Agreement is
intended to provide the Executive with an additional incentive to remain in
the employ of the Employer, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute
a contract of employment between the Executive and the Employer nor shall any
provision of this Agreement restrict or expand the right of the Employer to
terminate the Executive's employment. This Agreement shall have no impact or
effect upon any separate written Employment Agreement which the Executive may
have with the Employer, it being the parties' intention and agreement that
unless this Agreement is specifically referenced in said Employment Agreement
(or any modification thereto), this Agreement (and the Employer's obligations
hereunder) shall stand separate and apart and shall have no effect upon, nor
be affected by, the terms and provisions of said Employment Agreement.
2.2. FRINGE BENEFIT. The benefits provided by this Agreement
are granted by the Employer as a fringe benefit to the Executive and are not
a part of any salary reduction plan or any arrangement deferring a bonus or a
salary increase. The Executive has no option to take any current payments or
bonus in lieu of the benefits provided by this Agreement.
3. PAYMENTS UPON OR AFTER RETIREMENT.
3.1. PAYMENTS UPON RETIREMENT. If the Executive shall remain
in the continuous employment of the Employer until attaining sixty-two (62)
years of age, the Executive shall be entitled to be paid the Annual Benefit,
as defined above, in equal monthly installments, for a period of fifteen (15)
years (One Hundred Eighty (180) months), with each installment to be paid on
the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in
which the Executive Retires or upon such later date as may be mutually agreed
upon by the Executive and the Employer in advance of said Retirement date.
At the Employer's sole and absolute discretion, the Employer may increase the
Annual Benefit as and when the Employer determines the same to be appropriate
in order to reflect a substantial change in the
4
<PAGE>
cost of living. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the Employer shall have no obligation hereunder to make any such
cost-of-living adjustment.
3.2. PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH AFTER RETIREMENT. The
Employer agrees that if the Executive Retires, but shall die before receiving
all of the One Hundred Eighty (180) monthly payments to which he is entitled
hereunder, the Employer will continue to make such monthly payments to the
Executive's designated beneficiary for the remaining period. If a valid
Beneficiary Designation is not in effect, then the remaining amounts due to
the Executive under the term of this Agreement shall be paid to the
Executive's Surviving Spouse. If the Executive leaves no Surviving Spouse,
the remaining amounts due to the Executive under the terms of this Agreement
shall be paid to the duly qualified personal representative, executor or
administrator of the Executive's estate.
4. PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT DEATH OR DISABILITY OCCURS PRIOR TO RETIREMENT.
4.1. PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH PRIOR TO RETIREMENT. In
the event the Executive should die while actively employed by the Employer at
any time after the Effective Date of this Agreement, but prior to attaining
sixty-two (62) years of age or if the Executive chooses to work after
attaining sixty-two (62) years of age, but dies before Retirement, the
Employer agrees to pay the Annual Benefit to the Executive's designated
beneficiary, in equal monthly installments, for a period of fifteen (15)
years (One Hundred Eighty (180) months). If a valid Beneficiary Designation
is not in effect, then the remaining amounts due to the Executive under the
term of this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive's Surviving Spouse. If
the Executive leaves no Surviving Spouse, the remaining amounts due to the
Executive under the terms of this Agreement shall be paid to the duly
qualified personal representative, executor or administrator of the
Executive's estate. Each installment shall be paid on the first day of each
month, beginning with the month following the month in which the Executive's
death occurs.
4.2. PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF DISABILITY PRIOR TO RETIREMENT.
In the event the Executive becomes Disabled while actively employed by the
Employer at any time after the date of this Agreement but prior to
Retirement, the Executive shall be entitled to be paid the Annual Benefit, as
defined above, in equal monthly installments, for a period of fifteen (15)
years (One Hundred Eighty (180) months), with each installment to be paid on
the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the earlier
of (1) the month in which the Executive attains sixty-two (62) years of age;
or (2) the date upon which the Executive is no longer entitled to receive
Disability benefits under the Executive's principal Disability insurance
policy and is, at such time, unable to return to and thereafter fulfil the
responsibilities associated with the employment position held with the
Employer prior to becoming Disabled by reason of such Disability continuing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive chooses to elect the
Retirement payout option set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof, the Executive may
waive the payout provisions set forth in this subparagraph 4.2 and in lieu
thereof receive the Annual Benefit which the Executive would be entitled to
receive under the terms of Paragraph 3.
5. PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT EMPLOYMENT IS TERMINATED PRIOR TO RETIREMENT.
As indicated in Paragraph 2 above, the Employer reserves the right to
terminate the Executive's employment, with or without cause but subject to
any written employment agreement which may then exist, at any time prior to
the Executive's Retirement. In the event that the employment of the
Executive shall be terminated, other than by reason of Disability or death,
prior to the Executive's attaining sixty-two (62) years of age, then this
Agreement shall terminate upon the date of such termination of employment;
provided, however, that the
5
<PAGE>
Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits as may be applicable
depending upon the circumstances surrounding the Executive's termination:
5.1. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. If the Executive's employment
is terminated by the Employer without cause, the Executive shall be entitled
to be paid the Annual Benefit, as defined above, in equal monthly
installments for a period of fifteen (15) years (One Hundred Eighty (180)
months), with each installment to be paid on the first day of each month,
beginning with the month following the month in which Executive is terminated
without cause or upon such later date as may be mutually agreed upon by the
Executive and the Employer in advance of the effective date of the
Executive's termination.
5.2. VOLUNTARY TERMINATION BY THE EXECUTIVE. It is
acknowledged and agreed by the Executive that the purpose of this Agreement
is to assure the Executive's continued employment with the Employer and that
if the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with the Employer
(other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement), then the Executive
shall have willingly forfeited any and all rights and benefits he may have
under the terms of this Agreement and that, furthermore, no amounts shall be
due or paid to the Executive by the Employer pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.
5.3. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The Executive agrees that if his
employment with the Employer is terminated "for cause," as defined in
subparagraph 1.13 of this Agreement, he shall forfeit any and all rights and
benefits he may have under the terms of this Agreement and shall have no
right to be paid any of the amounts which would otherwise be due or paid to
the Executive by the Employer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
5.4. TERMINATION BY THE EMPLOYER ON ACCOUNT OF OR AFTER A
CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event: (i) the Executive's employment with the
Employer is terminated by the Employer in conjunction with, or by reason of,
a "change in control" (as defined in subparagraph 1.5 above); or (ii) by
reason of the Employer's actions any adverse and material change occurs in
the scope of the Executive's position, responsibilities, duties, salary,
benefits, or location of employment after a "change in control" (as defined
in subparagraph 1.5) occurs; or (iii) the Employer causes an event to occur
which reasonably constitutes or results in a demotion, a significant
diminution of responsibilities or authority, or a constructive termination
(by forcing a resignation or otherwise) of the Executive's employment after a
"change in control" (as defined in subparagraph 1.5) occurs, then the
Executive shall be entitled to be paid the Annual Benefit, as defined above,
in equal monthly installments for a period of fifteen (15) years (One Hundred
Eighty (180) months), with each installment to be paid on the first day of
each month, beginning with the month following the month in which the
Executive is terminated or the action referred to above occurs, whichever is
earlier.
6. ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON THE AMOUNT OF THE ANNUAL BENEFIT. The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the parties have entered into this
Agreement based upon the certain financial and tax accounting assumptions.
Accordingly, with full knowledge of the potential consequences the Executive
agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary: (i)
the amount of the Annual Benefit shall be limited to that amount of the
Annual Benefit (determined without regard to this Paragraph 6) which will be
deductible by the Employer under the Code in the year in which payment is to
be made to the Executive; (ii) the Annual Benefit amount shall be deemed to
be the last payment made to the Executive and the first for which an income
tax deduction, if any, has been disallowed; and (iii) any compensatory
amounts for which a deduction is denied to the Employer shall, at the
Employer's election, serve to first reduce the Employer's obligation to make
the monthly
6
<PAGE>
Annual Benefit payments otherwise due and payable to the Executive under the
terms of this Agreement. The Executive recognizes that, in this regard,
limitations on deductibility may be imposed under, but not limited to, Code
Section 280G. Consistent with the foregoing, and in the event that any
payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive, whether
payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan,
arrangement or agreement with the Employer (together with the Annual Benefit,
the "Total Payments"), will not be deductible (in whole or in part) as a
result of Code Section 280G, the Annual Benefit shall be reduced until no
portion of the Total Payments is nondeductible as a result of Section 280G of
the Code (or the Annual Benefit is reduced to zero (0)). For purposes of
this limitation:
(a) No portion of the Total Payments, the receipt or
enjoyment of which the Executive shall have effectively waived in writing
prior to the date of payment of any future Annual Benefit payments, shall be
taken into account;
(b) No portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into
account, which in the opinion of the tax counsel selected by the Employer and
acceptable to the Executive, does not constitute a "parachute payment" within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code;
(c) Future Annual Benefit payments shall be reduced only to
the extent necessary so that the Total Payments (other than those referred to
in clauses (a) or (b) above in their entirety) constitute reasonable
compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section
280G of the Code, in the opinion of tax counsel referred to in clause (b)
above; and
(d) The value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment
or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the
Employer's independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Section
280G of the Code.
7. RIGHT TO DETERMINE FUNDING METHODS. The Employer reserves the
right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether, to what
extent and by what method, if any, to provide for the payment of the amounts
which may be payable to the Executive, the Executive's spouse or the
Executive's beneficiaries under the terms of this Agreement. In the event
that the Employer elects to fund this Agreement, in whole or in part, through
the use of life insurance or annuities, or both, the Employer shall determine
the ownership and beneficial interests of any such policy of life insurance
or annuity. The Employer further reserves the right, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to terminate any such policy, and any other device used
to fund its obligations under this Agreement, at any time, in whole or in
part. Consistent with Paragraph 9 below, neither the Executive, the
Executive's spouse nor the Executive's beneficiaries shall have any right,
title or interest in or to any funding source or amount utilized by the
Employer pursuant to this Agreement, and any such funding source or amount
shall not constitute security for the performance of the Employer's
obligations pursuant to this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing,
the Executive agrees to execute such documents and undergo such medical
examinations or tests which the Employer may request and which may be
reasonably necessary to facilitate any funding for this Agreement including,
without limitation, the Employer's acquisition of any policy of insurance or
annuity. Furthermore, a refusal by the Executive to consent to, participate
in and undergo any such medical examinations or tests shall result in the
immediate termination of this Agreement and the immediate forfeiture by the
Executive, the Executive's spouse and the Executive's beneficiaries of any
and all rights to payment hereunder.
7
<PAGE>
8. CLAIMS PROCEDURE. The Employer shall, but only to the extent
necessary to comply with ERISA, be designated as the named fiduciary under
this Agreement and shall have authority to control and manage the operation
and administration of this Agreement. Consistent therewith, the Employer
shall make all determinations as to the rights to benefits under this
Agreement. Any decision by the Employer denying a claim by the Executive,
the Executive's spouse, or the Executive's beneficiary for benefits under
this Agreement shall be stated in writing and delivered or mailed, via
registered or certified mail, to the Executive, the Executive's spouse or the
Executive's beneficiary, as the case may be. Such decision shall set forth
the specific reasons for the denial of a claim. In addition, the Employer
shall provide the Executive, the Executive's spouse or the Executive's
beneficiary with a reasonable opportunity for a full and fair review of the
decision denying such claim.
9. STATUS AS AN UNSECURED GENERAL CREDITOR. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary: (i) neither the Executive, the Executive's
spouse nor the Executive's beneficiary shall have any legal or equitable
rights, interests or claims in or to any specific property or assets of the
Employer; (ii) none of the Employer's assets shall be held in or under any
trust for the benefit of the Executive, the Executive's spouse or the
Executive's beneficiaries or held in any way as security for the fulfillment
of the obligations of the Employer under this Agreement; (iii) all of the
Employer's assets shall be and remain the general unpledged and unrestricted
assets of the Employer; (iv) the Employer's obligation under this Agreement
shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Employer to pay
money in the future; and (v) the Executive, the Executive's spouse and the
Executive's beneficiaries shall be unsecured general creditors with respect
to any benefits which may be payable under the terms of this Agreement.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
10.1. OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH INDEPENDENT COUNSEL. The
Executive acknowledges that he has been afforded the opportunity to consult
with independent counsel of his choosing regarding both the benefits granted
to him under the terms of this Agreement and the terms and conditions which
may affect the Executive's right to these benefits. The Executive further
acknowledges that he has read, understands and consents to all of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, and that he enters into this Agreement with
a full understanding of its terms and conditions.
10.2. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. All claims, disputes and other
matters in question arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
breach or interpretation thereof, other than those matters which are to be
determined by the Employer in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be
resolved by binding arbitration before a representative member, selected by
the mutual agreement of the parties, of the Judicial Arbitration and
Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS"), presently located at Two Embarcadero
Center, Suite 1100, in San Francisco, California. In the event JAMS is
unable or unwilling to conduct the arbitration provided for under the terms
of this Paragraph, or has discontinued its business, the parties agree that a
representative member, selected by the mutual agreement of the parties, of
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), presently located at 417
Montgomery Street, in San Francisco, California, shall conduct the binding
arbitration referred to in this Paragraph. Notice of the demand for
arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to this Agreement
and with JAMS (or AAA, if necessary). In no event shall the demand for
arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable
proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be
barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration shall be
subject to such rules of procedure used or established by JAMS, or if there
are none, the rules of procedure used or established by AAA. Any award
rendered by JAMS or AAA shall be final and binding upon the parties, and as
applicable, their
8
<PAGE>
respective heirs, beneficiaries, legal representatives, agents, successors
and assigns, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The obligation of the parties to arbitrate pursuant to this clause shall be
specifically enforceable in accordance with, and shall be conducted
consistently with, the provisions of Title 9 of Part 3 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in Red
Bluff, California, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.
10.3. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any arbitration or
litigation concerning any controversy, claim or dispute between the parties
hereto, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof, or
the interpretation hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
from the losing party reasonable expenses, attorneys' fees and costs incurred
in connection therewith or in the enforcement or collection of any judgment
or award rendered therein. The "prevailing party" means the party determined
by the arbitrator(s) or court, as the case may be, to have most nearly
prevailed, even if such party did not prevail in all matters, not necessarily
the one in whose favor a judgment is rendered.
10.4. NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted of either the
Executive or the Employer under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
duly given, if by personal delivery, upon the date received by the party or
its authorized representative; if by facsimile, upon transmission to a
telephone number previously provided by the party to whom the facsimile is
transmitted as reflected in the records of the party transmitting the
facsimile and upon reasonable confirmation of such transmission; and if by
mail, on the third day after mailing via U.S. first class mail, registered or

10.5. ASSIGNMENT. Neither the Executive, the Executive's
spouse, nor any other beneficiary under this Agreement shall have any power
or right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate, modify or otherwise
encumber any part or all of the amounts payable hereunder, nor, prior to
payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall any portion of
such amounts be: (i) subject to seizure by any creditor of any such
beneficiary, by a proceeding at law or in equity, for the payment of any
debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance obligations which may be
owed by the Executive, the Executive's spouse, or any designated beneficiary;
or (ii) transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy,
insolvency or otherwise. Any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be
void and shall terminate this Agreement, and the Employer shall thereupon
have no further liability hereunder.
10.6. BINDING EFFECT/MERGER OR REORGANIZATION. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Executive and the
Employer and, as applicable, their respective heirs, beneficiaries, legal
representatives, agents, successors and assigns. Accordingly, the Employer
shall not merge or consolidate into or with another corporation, or
reorganize or sell substantially all of its assets to another corporation,
firm or
9
<PAGE>
person, unless and until such succeeding or continuing corporation, firm or
person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of the Employer under
this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such event, the term "Employer" as
used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to such surviving or
successor firm, person, entity or corporation.
10.7. NONWAIVER. The failure of either party to enforce at any
time or for any period of time any one or more of the terms or conditions of
this Agreement shall not be a waiver of such term(s) or condition(s) or of
that party's right thereafter to enforce each and every term and condition of
this Agreement.
10.8. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. If any term, provision, covenant,
or condition of this Agreement is determined by an arbitrator or a court, as
the case may be, to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such determination
shall not render any other term, provision, covenant or condition invalid,
void or unenforceable, and the Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding such partial invalidity.
10.9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes any and all
other agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect
to the subject matter of this Agreement and contains all of the covenants and
agreements between the parties with respect thereto. Each party to this
Agreement acknowledges that no other 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 set forth herein, and that no
other agreement, statement, or promise not contained in this Agreement shall
be valid or binding on either party.
10.10. MODIFICATIONS. Any modification of this Agreement shall
be effective only if it is in writing and signed by each party or such
party's authorized representative.
10.11. PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. The paragraph headings used in this
Agreement are included solely for the convenience of the parties and shall
not affect or be used in connection with the interpretation of this Agreement.

Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to
express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be
applied against any person.

other than those laws denominated choice of law rules, and, where applicable,
the rules and regulations of (i) the California Department of Financial
Institutions; (ii) the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;
(iii) the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; or (iv) any other regulatory
agency or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Employer, shall
govern the validity, interpretation, construction and effect of this
