                    ---------------------------------------

     THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 13th day of June, 2003, by and
between SAN JOAQUIN BANK, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
California  (hereinafter  referred to as the "Employer"),  and STEPHEN ANNIS, an

"Executive").  This Agreement is an amendment and  restatement of an Amended and
Restated Executive Salary  Continuation  Agreement between the parties dated May
15, 2000.

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

     WHEREAS, the Executive is an employee of the Employer and is serving as its
Chief Financial Officer;

     WHEREAS,  the  Executive's  experience  and knowledge of the affairs of the
Employer and the banking industry are extensive and valuable;

     WHEREAS,  it is  deemed  to be in the best  interests  of the  Employer  to
provide the Executive with certain salary  continuation  benefits,  on the terms
and conditions set forth herein,  in order to reasonably induce the Executive to
remain in the Employer's employment; and

     WHEREAS,  the  Executive  and the  Employer  wish to specify in writing the
terms and conditions upon which this additional  compensatory  incentive will be
provided to the Executive,  or to the Executive's designated  beneficiaries,  as
the case may be;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the services to be performed in the
future,  as well as the mutual  promises and  covenants  contained  herein,  the
Executive and the Employer agree as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT
                                   ---------

     1.   TERMS AND DEFINITIONS.
          ---------------------

          1.1  ADMINISTRATOR.  The Employer  shall be the  "Administrator"  and,
solely for the purposes of ERISA,  the  "fiduciary"  of this  Agreement  where a
fiduciary is required by ERISA.

          1.2  ANNUAL  BENEFIT.  The term "Annual  Benefit" shall mean an annual
amount of Sixty-Three Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Three Dollars ($63,163),  which
represents fifty percent (50%) of Executive's  total  compensation as of May 15,
2000  of One  Hundred  Twenty-Six  Thousand  Three  Hundred  Twenty-Six  Dollars
($126,326) determined by adding annual salary of One Hundred Three Thousand Four
Hundred Sixty-Three Dollars ($103,463) to the bonus of Twenty-Two Thousand Eight
Hundred  Sixty-Three Dollars ($22,863) awarded to Executive in February of 2000.
In any year from and after May 15,  2000  that  Executive's  total  compensation
(current  salary  plus bonus paid in such year)  increases,  the annual  benefit
shall be  increased  to an amount  equal to fifty  percent  (50%) of such  total
compensation.  No  decrease  in  Annual  Benefit  shall be made in any year when
Executive's total compensation  shall decrease,  whether by reason of a decrease



in regular payroll  payments or by a decrease in or elimination of bonus, or if,
as of December 31, 2008,  actual  compensation is less than that deemed pursuant
to the foregoing.  Employer's  Board of Directors may by resolution  duly passed
and  communicated in writing to Executive,  freeze the Annual Benefit at a given
dollar amount but may not decrease a level once established. Once the payment of
the Annual Benefit has commenced, the Annual Benefit shall be increased annually
commencing in 2001 by at least the increase in the Consumer  Price Index ("CPI")
for the preceding calendar year, up to a maximum of two percent (2%);  provided,
however,  such maximum shall be increased up to the total dollar amount that all
past  aggregate  CPI  increases  to the Annual  Benefit are less than the dollar
amount  of all  potential  aggregate  increases  determined  as if the  CPI  had
actually  been two percent (2%) in all such past years.  Thus,  if in a year the
Annual  Benefit  could have  increased  by $3,500 but only  increased  by $2,000
because actual CPI was less than 2%, the $1,500  difference shall be used in the
future to increase the Annual Benefit when CPI is greater than 2%.

          1.3  APPLICABLE PERCENTAGE.  The term  "Applicable  Percentage"  shall
mean that percentage listed on Schedule "A," attached hereto,  which is adjacent
to the number of complete years (with a "year" being the performance of personal
services  for or on behalf of the  Employer as an  employee  for a period of 365
days) which have elapsed  starting from the Effective Date of this Agreement and
ending on the date the  Executive's  employment  terminates for purposes of this
Agreement.  In the event that Executive's employment with Employer is terminated
other  than by reason  of death,  Disability  or  Retirement  on the part of the
Executive,  Executive  shall be deemed for purposes of determining the number of
complete  years to have  completed  a year of  service in its  entirety  for any
partial year of service after the last  anniversary  date of the Effective  Date
during which the Executive's employment is terminated, provided that in no event
shall  Executive  be deemed to have  completed a year of service for any partial
year if the partial  year  occurs  prior to the first  anniversary  date of this
Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement,  employment shall include service on
the Employer's Board of Directors regardless of whether Executive continues as a
common law employee of the Employer.

          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 any Joint and  Survivor  Annuity  payments to be made after the death of
the Executive and the Surviving Spouse. 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  CODE.  The  term "Code" shall mean  the Internal  Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").

          1.6  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. 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  eighty (180)
consecutive  days,  prevents  the  Executive  from  adequately   performing  the
Executive's   regular  employment  duties.  The  determination  of  whether  the
Executive  is Disabled  shall be made by an  independent  physician  selected by
mutual  agreement of the parties.  In no event shall the Executive be treated as

                                       2


Disabled  if  the  Executive  is  performing  services  in  any  capacity  for a
"competitor," as defined in section 3.5.

          1.7  EARLY RETIREMENT DATE. The term Early  Retirement  Date means the
Retirement  (as defined  below) of the  Executive  on a date which  occurs after
Executive has attained age sixty (60).

          1.8  EFFECTIVE DATE.  The term  "Effective  Date"  shall mean the date
upon which the Executive Salary Continuation Plan was originally approved by the
Board of Directors of Employer, to wit, October 3, 1996.

          1.9  ERISA. The term "ERISA" shall mean the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended.

          1.10 JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. The term "Joint and Survivor Annuity"
shall  mean a stream  of  payments,  each  one of which is equal to one  hundred
percent  (100%)  of the  Annual  Benefit  for  the  life  of the  Executive  and
sixty-five  percent  (65%) of the Annual  Benefit for the life of the  Surviving
Spouse,  that is paid on an annual  basis  over a period of time that  continues
until the death of the last to die of the  Executive  or the  Surviving  Spouse;
PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if the  Executive  and the  Surviving  Spouse both die
before  expiration  of five (5) years  after the  Executive's  Retirement  Date,
payments of sixty-five  percent (65%) of the Annual  Benefit will be made to the
Beneficiary until the date that is five (5) years after the Retirement Date. The
payment of the herein described percentages of the Annual Benefit in the form of
the Joint and Survivor  Annuity is based upon the assumption  that such payments
would begin on the Executive's  Retirement Date and the life expectancies of the
Executive and the  Surviving  Spouse on the  Retirement  Date.  Accordingly,  if
payments  of the Annual  Benefit are to begin on a date that is earlier or later
than the  Executive's  Retirement  Date,  the Annual Benefit will be actuarially
adjusted to reflect the increased or decreased life expectancies,  respectively,
over  which the  Annual  Benefit  is to be paid.  For  purposes  of making  such
actuarial  adjustments,  life  expectancy  shall be computed  using the expected
return  multiples  in Table V of  Section  1.72-9 of the United  States  Federal
Treasury Regulations and a capitalization rate of five percent (5%).

          1.11 PLAN YEAR. The term "Plan Year" shall mean the calendar year.

          1.12 RETIREMENT. The term "Retirement" or "Retires" shall refer to the
date (on or after the  Retirement  Date or Early  Retirement  Date) on which the
Executive  gives  notice of his intent to retire and  substantially  reduces the
scope of his employment with the Employer.

          1.13 RETIREMENT DATE.  Retirement  Date  means  the date the Executive
reaches age sixty-five (65).

          1.14 SURVIVING SPOUSE. The term "Surviving Spouse"  shall  mean  Nancy
Annis,  who is the person  legally  married to the Executive on the date of this
Agreement.

                                       3


     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.  The benefits  provided under
this Agreement are in lieu of any benefits that  otherwise  would be provided to
Executive under that certain Life Insurance Endorsement Method Split Dollar Plan
Agreement  between the Employer and the Executive,  which the parties agree will
be cancelled and thereafter be of no further force and effect.

     3.   Payments of Annual Benefit.
          --------------------------

          3.1  PAYMENTS AT OR AFTER RETIREMENT. If the Executive shall remain in
the continuous  employment of the Employer until his Retirement Date, the Annual
Benefit,  as defined above,  shall be paid in the form of the Joint and Survivor
Annuity.  Each year the Annual Benefit will be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly
payments  on the first day of each  month  during the year,  beginning  with the
month following the Retirement Date. If the Executive continues employment alter
his Retirement Date, payment of his Annual Benefit shall commence on the date of
his actual  Retirement and such Annual Benefit shall be actuarially  adjusted in
accordance  with  section  1.10 to reflect  the  postponement  of payment of the
Annual Benefit.

          3.2  PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH.  If  the Executive dies before he
actually Retires, the Executive's Annual Benefit shall be reduced by determining
the  discounted  value of the Annual Benefit based on a  capitalization  rate of
five  percent  (5%) for the  period  of time,  if any,  by which the date of the
Executive's  death is earlier than the Executive's  normal  Retirement Date. The
Applicable Percentage shall be one hundred percent (100%) and annual payments of
sixty-five  percent (65%) of the Annual Benefit,  as adjusted  herein,  shall be
made to the Surviving Spouse or Beneficiary, as the case may be, until the later
of the death of the  Surviving  Spouse or the  expiration of five (5) years from
the Executive's  Retirement  Date, with each installment to be paid on the first
day of each month,  commencing with the month  following the Executive's  death.
Each  installment  shall  consist  of  one-twelfth   (1/12)  of  the  Applicable
Percentage of sixty-five  percent (65%) of the Annual  Benefit,  as  actuarially
adjusted in accordance with section 1.10.

                                       4


          3.3  PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF  DISABILITY.  If  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: (i) for purposes of
this section 3.3 only continue to be treated during such period of Disability as
being gainfully  employed by the Employer with an annual  compensation  equal to
his annual compensation at the time of Disability, increased by two percent (2%)
each year  thereafter;  PROVIDED HOWEVER,  the Executive shall not, by virtue of
this provision actually be paid salary by the Employer and shall not be credited
with  additional  years of service  during the  Executive's  Disability  for the
purpose of determining the Annual  Benefit;  and (ii) be entitled to be paid the
Applicable Percentage,  of the Annual Benefit, as set forth on Schedule "A," for
life, with each  installment to be paid on the first day of each month beginning
with the month  following  the month in which the Executive  attains  sixty-five
(65) years of age. If Executive ceases to receive Disability  benefits under the
Executive's  principal  Disability  insurance policy and does not, at such time,
return to, and  thereafter  fulfill the  responsibilities  associated  with, the
employment  position held with the Employer prior to becoming Disabled by reason
of such Disability continuing, then Executive shall receive for life payments of
the Applicable  Percentage of the Annual  Benefit,  as  actuarially  adjusted in
accordance with section 1.10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in this section 3.3, if the  Executive is eligible for Early  Retirement  at the
time  Executive  becomes  Disabled,  the Executive may elect,  by giving written
notice to the Employer,  to take Early Retirement  benefits under section 3.5 in
lieu of Disability benefits under this section 3.3.

          3.4  PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT EMPLOYMENT IS TERMINATED BY REASON OTHER
THAN DISABILITY, SALE OF BUSINESS, EARLY RETIREMENT OR RETIREMENT.  As indicated
in  section  2.1  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. In the event that the employment of
the Executive is terminated  prior to the Early  Retirement  Date for any reason
other than by reason of Disability or Sale of Business,  the Executive  shall be
entitled  to be  paid  the  Applicable  Percentage  of the  Annual  Benefit,  as
determined  by the  applicable  years of service at the time of the  Executive's
termination of employment  with the Employer.  The method for paying such amount
shall be the Joint and Survivor Annuity, with each installment to be paid on the
first day of each month,  beginning with the month  following the month in which
the Executive attains sixty-five (65) years of age.

          3.5  PAYMENTS  IN THE EVENT THE  EXECUTIVE  ELECTS  EARLY  RETIREMENT.
If the Executive shall remain in the continuous employment of the Employer until
his Early Retirement Date and shall then Retire,  the Executive's Annual Benefit
shall be reduced by determining the discounted value of the Annual Benefit based
on a capitalization rate of five percent (5%) for the period of time between the
selected Early Retirement Date and the Executive's  normal  Retirement Date. The
Applicable  Percentage  shall be 100%  and the  method  for  paying  the  Annual
Benefit, as adjusted herein, shall be the Joint and Survivor Annuity,  with each
installment  to be paid on the first day of each month,  following  the month of
the Executive's Early Retirement.  Each installment shall consist of one-twelfth
(1/12)  of  the  Applicable   Percentage  of  the  reduced  Annual  Benefit,  as
actuarially  adjusted in  accordance  with section  1.10.  Prior to the date the
Executive  reaches age  sixty-five  (65),  no payments  shall be made under this
section 3.5 during any period in which the Executive is performing  services for
a competitor of the Employer.  Such payments shall be forfeited and shall not be
used  to  actuarially   increase  the  Early  Retirement  payments  which  shall
recommence  upon the earlier of the date the  Executive  reaches age  sixty-five

                                       5


(65) or ceases to work for such competitor. The term "competitor" shall refer to
a  business  entity  conducting  a  business  competitive  to one  conducted  by
Employer,   but   only   if  the   Executive   is   providing   services   in  a
California county where Employer conducts business.

     4.   RABBI TRUST.  The Employer shall establish  a grantor trust  (commonly
referred to as a "rabbi trust") and  contribute  assets to such trust to provide
for the payment of the amounts which may become  payable to the  Executive,  the
Executive's  spouse  or the  Executive's  beneficiaries  under the terms of this
Agreement.  The Executive  shall not have any  ownership  interest in the assets
held in such  trust.  The assets of such trust  shall only be  available  to the
Employer in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Employer, in which case
the benefits shall be available to the Employer's general creditors.

     5.   TAX TREATMENT.  The  Employer's  obligation to pay benefits under this
Agreement  is not  contingent  on  the  tax  treatment  of  any  such  benefits,
regardless  of  whether  there is a change  in the law with  respect  to the tax
treatment of such benefit after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

     6.   CLAIMS PROCEDURE.  The  Employer  shall  notify  the  Executive or the
Executive's beneficiary  ("Claimant") in writing, within ninety (90) days of his
or  her  written  application  for  benefits,  of  his  or  her  eligibility  or
noneligibility for benefits under the Agreement. If the Employer determines that
the Claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set
forth (i) the specific reason for such denial,  (2) a specific  reference to the
provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is based,  (3) a description  of
any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his
or her claim,  and a description of why it is needed,  and (4) an explanation of
the Agreement's claims review procedure and other appropriate  information as to
the steps to be taken if the beneficiary  wishes to have the claim reviewed.  If
the  Employer  determines  that  there  are  special   circumstances   requiring
additional time to make a decision, the Employer shall notify the beneficiary of
the  special  circumstances  and the date by which a decision  is expected to be
made, and may extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period.

     7.   REVIEW PROCEDURE. If the Claimant is determined by the Employer not to
be eligible for benefits, or if the Claimant believes that he or she is entitled
to greater or different  benefits,  the Claimant  shall have the  opportunity to
have such claim  reviewed by the  Employer by filing a petition  for review with
the Employer  within sixty (60) days after  receipt of the notice  issued by the
Employer.  Said  petition  shall state the  specific  reason  which the Claimant
believes  entitle him or her to benefits  or to greater or  different  benefits.
Within  sixty  (60) days after  receipt by the  Employer  of the  petition,  the
Employer  shall afford the Claimant  (and  counsel,  if any) an  opportunity  to
present  his or her  position  to the  Employer  orally or in  writing,  and the
Claimant (or counsel)  shall have the right to review the  pertinent  documents.
The Employer  shall  notify the  Claimant of its decision in writing  within the
sixty-day period,  stating specifically the basis of its decision,  written in a
manner  calculated to be understood by the Claimant and the specific  provisions
of the Agreement on which the decision is based.  If,  because of the need for a
hearing,  the sixty-day  period is not sufficient,  the decision may be deferred
for up to another sixty-day period, at the election of the Employer,  but notice
of this deferral shall be given to the Claimant.

                                       6


     8.   STATUS OF 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) except as expressly  provided  for herein,  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 beneficiary 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 beneficiary shall be unsecured general creditors with respect to any
benefits which may be payable under the terms of this Agreement.

     9.   COVENANT NOT TO INTERFERE. The Executive agrees not to take any action
which  prevents the Employer from  collecting the proceeds of any life insurance
policy or annuity  which the  Employer or the trust  described  in section 4 may
happen to own at the time of the  Executive's  Retirement  or death and of which
the Employer is the designated beneficiary.

     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 LARCENY CONVICTION.  In  the  event  that  the  Executive is duly
convicted by a court of competent  jurisdiction of a felony charge of robbing or
embezzling from the Employer  whereby the Employer  suffers loss, then upon such
conviction,  the Employer is not obligated to make any payments provided by this
Agreement or any further payments,  if payments have already begun. This section
10.2 is not intended to put the Executive's  receipt of payments in jeopardy for
business decisions made during the ordinary course of employment.

          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.

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

          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,  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 owned 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 OF 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
