1.5 Change in Control. For the purpose of this Plan, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon any of the following events, as such terms and events are defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the related guidance and Notices thereto. IRC 409A currently provides that a Change in Control Event shall include any of the following events (and for the purposes of this provision, the term “corporation” shall mean the Bank or the Bank’s holding company):

A. A Change in the Ownership of a Corporation. A change in the ownership of a corporation occurs on the date that any one person or persons acting as a group (as defined in IRC 409A), acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation.

B. Change in the Effective Control of a Corporation. A change in the effective control of the corporation shall be deemed to occur on either of the following dates:

(i) The date any one person, or persons acting as a group acquires (or has acquired during the 12 month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) ownership of stock of the corporation

No Change in Control shall result if the assets are transferred to certain entities controlled directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the transferring corporation.

For the purposes of this definition, the term “corporation” shall be read as including the Bank or the bank’s holding company, Santa Lucia Bancorp.

The deferral element of this plan was eliminated by Amendment in July of 2003, however the Deferral

Account was maintained, accounted for and credited with interest pursuant to the terms of the Original Agreement. In addition, the Deferral Account served as a bookkeeping entry only and was utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to, or in respect of, a Participant pursuant to the Original Agreement.

1.8 Disability/Disabled. For the purposes of this Agreement, Director will be considered Disabled if:

A The Director is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months; or

B. The Director is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Employee’s Bank.

applicable state and federal laws, including, but not limited to, income, employment and disability income tax laws (e.g., FICA, FUTA, SDI).

1.15 IRC 409A. The term “IRC 409A” shall refer to the final regulations issued by the IRS and the Treasury Department under Section 409A of the Code.

1.19 Service/ Separation From Service. As it applies to Director, the term “Service” shall refer to the services Director provides and performs while serving on the Board of Directors. In addition, the term “Separation from Service” shall be read and interpreted consistent with IRC 409A and any future notices or guidance related thereto. As the term applies herein to individuals who are serving on the Board of Directors, but who are not also acting as employees of the Bank, the term “Separation from Service” shall mean the expiration of all contracts or terms of service under which the Director is performing services as a member of the Board of Directors, and where expiration constitutes a good faith and complete termination of the service relationship.

In addition to the foregoing, and consistent with IRC 409A, if Participant provides services both as an employee and a member of the Board of Directors (or an analogous position with respect to a non-corporate service recipient), the services provided as a director are not taken into account in determining whether the Participant has a separation from service as an employee for purposes of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which the Participant participates as an employee that is not aggregated with any plan in which the Participant participates as a director . In addition, if a Participant provides services both as an employee and a member of the Board of Directors (or an analogous position with respect to a non-corporate service recipient), the services provided as an employee are not taken into account in determining whether the Participant has a separation from service as a director for purposes of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which the Participant participates as a director that is not aggregated with any plan in which the service provider participates as an employee.

2.0 Scope, Purpose and Effect.

2.1 Contract of Employment. Although this Agreement is intended to provide the Director with an additional incentive to remain a Director of the Bank, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Director and the Bank.

2.2 Fringe Benefit. The benefits provided by this Agreement are granted by the Bank as a fringe benefit to the Director and are not a part of any salary reduction plan or any arrangement deferring a bonus or a salary increase. The Director has no option to take any current payments or bonus in lieu of the benefits provided by this Agreement.

2.3 Prohibited Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment made under this Agreement is a “golden parachute payment” as defined in Section 28(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. section 1828(k) and Part 359 of the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (collectively, the “FDIC Rules”) or is otherwise prohibited, restricted or subject to the prior approval of a Bank Regulator, no payment shall be made hereunder without complying with said FDIC Rules.

3.0 Internal Revenue Code Section 409A Compliance. It is the intent of the parties to comply with all applicable Internal Revenue Code Sections, including, but not limited to, IRC 409A. Furthermore, for the purposes of this Agreement, IRC Section 409A shall be read to include any related or relevant IRS Notices or clarifications (including but not limited to Notice 2006-79 and Notice 2007-86). While it is understood that a general IRC 409A savings clause will not be effective, the parties intend that any ambiguities regarding any terms or payouts contained herein shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with IRC 409A.

In addition, for any benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement due to a Separation From Service, if the individual is a Specified Employee (as defined herein and by IRC 409A), any such benefit shall be withheld for six (6) months following such Separation From Service in order to comply with IRC 409A, if necessary. In addition, for any individual affected by this six (6) month delay in payment imposed by IRC 409A, and if and/or when applicable, the aggregate amount of the first seven (7) months of installments shall be paid at the beginning of the seventh month following the date of Separation From Service. Monthly installment payments shall continue thereafter if called for.

In addition, as stated above, it is the intent of the parties to comply with IRS Notice 2007-86, and thus, for any new election made in 2008, that new election may not apply to amounts that would otherwise be payable in 2008, and may not cause amounts to be paid in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in that year. In the event any such new election would accelerate a payment into 2008, then such resulting payment shall not be made until January 3, 2009 (so long as permitted by IRC 409A and any subsequent guidance).

4.0 Director Benefits Payments.

Subject to the forgoing, the Director Benefits shall be paid in accordance with the following:

4.1 Payments Upon Normal Retirement. In the event the Director Separates From Service on or after attaining the Normal Retirement Age, and for any reason other than a Removal For Cause, then the Director shall be entitled to be paid an annual Director Benefit in the amount of Six Thousand, Ninety-Six Dollars ($6,096) per year. This annual Director Benefit shall be paid in twelve (12) substantially equal monthly installments on the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in which the Director Separates From Service and continuing until the death of the Director.

4.2 Payments Upon Early Retirement. In the event the Director Separates From Service on a date which constitutes an Early Retirement Date, then the Director shall be entitled to be paid an annual Director Benefit equal to the following amounts, depending upon Participant’s age on the date of such Separation From Service:

Age at Early Retirement	Annual Benefit Amount
65 through 68 years of age	$	3,810
69 through 71 years of age	$	4,572
72 through 74 years of age	$	5,334
Upon attaining age 75, participant qualifies for Normal Retirement	$	6,096

This annual Director Benefit shall be paid in twelve (12) substantially equal monthly installments on the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in which the Director Separates From Service and continuing until the death of the Director.

4.3 Payments in the Event of Separation From Service Prior to the Early Retirement Age. In the event the Director Separates From Service before the Early Retirement Age, then this Agreement shall terminate upon the date of such Separation From Service; provided, however, that the Director shall be entitled to the following benefits as may be applicable depending upon the circumstances surrounding the Separation:

A. Disability or Separation From Service Following a Change in Control. In the event the Director becomes Disabled prior to Early Retirement and Separates From Service as a result therof, or in the event Director Separates From Service following a Change in Control and prior to the Early Retirement Age, then Director shall be entitled to be paid the Accrued Liability Balance as of the date of Director’s Separation From Service. This Accrued Liability Balance shall be paid in one lump sum within thirty (30) days following Director’s Separation From Service; however, Director is not permitted, either directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment).

B. Involuntary Termination. In the event Director is Involuntarily Terminated by the Bank prior to attaining the Early Retirement Age, then the Director shall receive the Accrued Liability Balance as of the date of the Separation From Service. This Accrued Liability Balance shall be paid in one lump sum within thirty (30) days following Director’s Separation From Service (however Director is not permitted, either directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment).

C. Voluntary Termination by the Director. In the event of an Early Voluntary Termination by the Director, (other than pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 4.3A), then 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 Director by the Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

4.4 Removal for Cause. In the event that the Director is Removed (at any time) for Cause, as defined herein, then 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 Director by the Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

4.5 Death. There are no death benefits payable under this Agreement (such benefits are described by a Life Insurance Endorsement Method Split Dollar Plan Agreement, if any), nor will Director Benefit Payments be made after the Director dies, regardless of whether such death occurs before or after termination, and regardless of whether payments have already begun pursuant to this Agreement.

4.6 Amounts Deferred Under Original Agreement. Because amounts deferred under the Original Agreement were deferred from the same source (Director Fees) and paid out in the same manner (upon Separation From Service) as under the “Deferred Fee Agreement” between the parties, effective as of February 1, 1997, (and which has been Amended and Restated to comply with IRC 409A by virtue of the First Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Agreement), the parties hereby agree that amounts reflected in the Deferral Account under the Original Agreement shall be incorporated into the Deferred Compensation Account under the First Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Agreement.

5.0 IRS Section 280G Issues.

If all or any portion of the amounts payable to the Director under this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments which the Director has the right to receive from the Bank, constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or similar tax and/or assessment), Director shall be responsible for the payment of such excise tax and Bank (and its successor) shall be responsible for any loss of deductibility related thereto; provided, however, that Bank and Director shall cooperate with each other and use all reasonable efforts to minimize to the fullest extent possible (and in accordance

with IRC 409A) the amount of excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If, at a later date, it is determined (pursuant to final regulations or published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise) that the amount of excise taxes payable by the Director is greater than the amount initially so determined, then the Director shall pay an amount equal to the sum of such additional excise taxes and any interest, fines and penalties resulting from such underpayment. The determination of the amount of any such excise taxes shall be made by the independent accounting firm employed by the Bank immediately prior to the change in control or such other independent accounting firm or advisor as may be mutually agreeable to Bank and Director in the exercise of their reasonable good faith judgment.

6.0 Administrative and Claims Provision.

As Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator, the Bank shall be responsible for the management, control and administration of this Director plan. The Named Fiduciary may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operation responsibilities of the plan, including employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.

The claimant (or his duly authorized representative) shall then have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim. The Administrator shall also provide the claimant, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant (as defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to the claimant’s claim for benefits.

D. Decision on Review. The Administrator shall respond in writing to such claimant within sixty (60) days after receiving the request for review.

In no event shall such extension exceed a period of sixty (60) days from the end of the initial period. The notice of extension must set forth the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render its decision.

(“JAMS”), located in San Francisco, California. Notice of the demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to this Agreement and with JAMS. 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.
