Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

Dated as of August 3, 2006

This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is by and between FIRST COMMUNITY BANCORP, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of California (“Borrower”), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Lender”), with a banking office at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000.

As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term as set forth in Section 8.

SECTION 1. LOANS

SECTION 1.1. REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make loans to Borrower, from time to time from the date of this Agreement through August 2, 2007 (the “Maturity Date”), at such times and in such amounts, not to exceed XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXX XX/000 XXXXXX XXXXXX DOLLARS ($70,000,000.00) (the “Commitment”) at any one time outstanding, as Borrower may request (the “Loan(s)”). During such period Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder. Each borrowing shall be in the amount of at least $100,000 or the remaining unused amount of the Commitment.

SECTION 1.2. REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE. The Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”), substantially in the form of Exhibit A, with appropriate insertions, dated the date hereof, payable to the order of Lender and in the original principal amount of the Commitment. Lender may at any time and from time to time at Lender’s sole option attach a schedule (grid) to the Note and endorse thereon notations with respect to each Loan specifying the date and principal amount thereof, the Interest Period (if applicable), the applicable interest rate and rate option, and the date and amount of each payment of principal and interest made by Borrower with respect to each such Loan. Lender’s endorsements as well as its records relating to the Loans shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the outstanding principal and interest on the Loans, and, in the event of inconsistency, shall prevail over any records of Borrower and any written confirmations of the Loans given by Borrower. The principal of the Note shall be payable on or before the Maturity Date.

SECTION 1.3. EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE. Borrower may request an extension of the Maturity Date by submitting a request for an extension to Lender (an “Extension Request”) no more than sixty (60) days prior to the current Maturity Date. The Extension Request must specify the new Maturity Date requested by Borrower and the date (which must be at least thirty (30) days after the Extension Request is delivered to Lender) as of which Lender must respond to the Extension Request (the “Extension Date”). The new Maturity Date shall be

no more than 364 days after the Maturity Date in effect at the time the Extension Request is received, including such Maturity Date as one of the days in the calculation of the days elapsed. If Lender fails to respond to an Extension Request by the Extension Date, Lender shall be deemed to have denied the Extension Request. If Lender, in its sole discretion, decides to approve the Extension Request, Lender shall deliver its written consent to Borrower of such extension no later than the Extension Date (provided it shall not be liable to Borrower or any other Person for its failure to do so).

SECTION 2. INTEREST AND FEES

SECTION 2.1. INTEREST RATE. Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding hereunder at the following rates per year:

(a) Before maturity of any Loan, whether by acceleration or otherwise, at the option of Borrower, subject to the terms hereof at a rate equal to:

(i) The “Prime-Based Rate,” which shall mean the Prime Rate minus seventy-five hundredths of one percent (-0.75%) per annum;

(ii) “LIBOR,” which shall mean the sum of (A) that fixed rate of interest per year for deposits with Interest Periods of 1, 3 or 6 months (which Interest Period Borrower shall select subject to the terms stated herein) in United States Dollars offered to Lender in or through the London interbank market at or about 10:00 A.M., London time, two days (during which banks are generally open in both Chicago and London) before the rate is to take effect in an amount corresponding to the amount of the requested Loan or portion thereof and for the London deposit Interest Period requested, divided by one minus any applicable reserve requirement (expressed as a decimal) on Eurodollar deposits of the same amount and Interest Period as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, plus (B) one and one-half percent (+1.50%) per annum; or

(iii) “Federal Funds Rate,” which shall mean the sum of (A) the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions, with members of the Federal Reserve System only, arranged by Federal funds brokers, plus (B) one and one-half percent (+1.50%) per annum. The Federal Funds Rate shall be determined by Lender on the basis of reports by Federal funds brokers to, and published daily by, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the Composite Closing Quotations for U.S. Government Securities. If such publication is unavailable or the Federal Funds Rate is not set forth therein, the Federal Funds Rate shall be determined on the basis of any other source reasonably selected by Lender. The Federal Funds Rate applicable each day shall be the Federal Funds Rate reported as applicable to Federal funds transactions on that date. In the case of Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate applicable to Federal funds transactions on the immediately preceding day for which the Federal Funds Rate is reported.

(b) After the maturity of any Loan, whether by acceleration or otherwise, such Loan shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in addition to the rate in effect immediately prior to maturity (but not less than the Prime-Based Rate in effect at maturity).

SECTION 2.2. RATE SELECTION. Borrower shall select and change its selection of the interest rate as among LIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime-Based Rate, as applicable, to apply to at least $100,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 thereafter of any Loan or portion thereof, subject to the requirements herein stated:

(a) At the time any Loan is made;

(b) At the expiration of a particular LIBOR Interest Period selected for the outstanding principal balance of any Loan or portion of any Loan currently bearing interest at LIBOR; and

(c) At any time for the outstanding principal balance of any Loan or portion thereof currently bearing interest at the Prime-Based Rate or the Federal Funds Rate.

SECTION 2.3. RATE CHANGES AND NOTIFICATIONS.

(a) LIBOR. If Borrower wishes to borrow funds at LIBOR or Borrower wishes to change the rate of interest on any Loan or portion thereof, within the limits described above, from any other rate to LIBOR, it shall, at or before 12:00 noon, Chicago time, not less than two Banking Days of Lender prior to the Banking Day of Lender on which such rate is to take effect, give Lender written notice thereof, which shall be irrevocable. Such notice shall specify the Loan or portion thereof to which LIBOR is to apply, and, in addition, the desired LIBOR Interest Period of 1, 3 or 6 months. Notwithstanding that any LIBOR Interest Period selected by Borrower may extend beyond the Maturity Date, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all amounts owing by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement in respect of principal, accrued interest, fees and expenses, including any amounts under section 2.5(c), shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(b) Federal Funds Rate or Prime-Based Rate. If Borrower wishes to borrow funds at the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime-Based Rate or to change the rate of interest on any Loan or any portion thereof, to such rate, it shall, at or before l2:00 noon, Chicago time, on the date such borrowing or change is to take effect, which shall be a Banking Day of Lender, give Lender written notice thereof, which shall be irrevocable. Such notice shall specify the advance and the desired interest rate option.

(c) Failure to Notify. If Borrower does not notify Lender at the expiration of a selected Interest Period with respect to any principal outstanding at LIBOR, then in the absence of such notice Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to have such principal accrue interest after the respective LIBOR Interest Period at the Federal Funds Rate. If Borrower does not notify Lender as to its selection of the interest rate option with respect to any new Loan, then in the absence of such notice Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to have such initial advance accrue interest at the Federal Funds Rate.

SECTION 2.4. INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. Accrued interest shall be paid in respect of each portion of principal to which the Federal Funds Rate or Prime-Based Rate applies on the last day of each month in each year, beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the date of the first Loan or portion thereof, at maturity, and upon payment in full, and to each portion of principal to which any other interest rate option applies, the end of each respective Interest Period, every three months, at maturity, and upon payment in full, whichever is earlier or more frequent. After maturity, interest shall be payable upon demand.

SECTION 2.5. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO FEDERAL FUNDS RATE AND LIBOR LOANS.

The selection by Borrower of the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR and the maintenance of the Loans or portions thereof at such rate shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

(a) Availability of Deposits at a Determinable Rate. If, after Borrower has elected to borrow or maintain any Loan or portion thereof at the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR, Lender notifies Borrower that:

(i) United States dollar deposits in the amount and for the maturity requested are not available to Lender (in the case of LIBOR, in the London interbank market); or

(ii) Reasonable means do not exist for Lender to determine the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR for the amount and maturity requested; all as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, then the principal subject to the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR shall accrue or shall continue to accrue interest at the Prime-Based Rate.

(b) Prohibition of Making, Maintaining, or Repayment of Principal at the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR. If any treaty, statute, regulation, interpretation thereof, or any directive, guideline, or otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall either prohibit or extend the time at which any principal subject to the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR may be purchased, maintained, or repaid, then on and as of the date the prohibition becomes effective, the principal subject to that prohibition shall continue at the Prime-Based Rate.

(c) Payments of Principal and Interest to be Inclusive of Any Taxes or Costs. All payments of principal and interest shall include any taxes and costs incurred by Lender resulting from having principal outstanding hereunder at the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR. Without limiting the generality of the preceding obligation, illustrations of such taxes and costs are:

(i) Taxes (or the withholding of amounts for taxes) of any nature whatsoever including income, excise, and interest equalization taxes (other than income taxes imposed by the United States or any state or locality thereof on the income of Lender), as well as all levies, imposts, duties, or fees whether now in existence or

resulting from a change in, or promulgation of, any treaty, statute, regulation, interpretation thereof, or any directive, guideline, or otherwise, by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law) or a change in the basis of, or time of payment of, such taxes and other amounts resulting therefrom;

(ii) Any reserve or special deposit requirements against assets or liabilities of, or deposits with or for the account of, Lender with respect to principal outstanding at LIBOR including those imposed under Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board or resulting from a change in, or the promulgation of, such requirements by treaty, statute, regulation, interpretation thereof, or any directive, guideline, or otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law);

(iii) Any other costs resulting from compliance with treaties, statutes, regulations, interpretations, or any directives or guidelines, or otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law), including capital adequacy regulations;

(iv) Any loss (including loss of anticipated profits) or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits acquired by Lender:

(A) To make Loans or a portion thereof or maintain principal outstanding at the LIBOR or the Federal Funds Rate;

(B) As the result of a voluntary prepayment at a date other than the Interim Maturity Date selected for principal outstanding at LIBOR;

(C) As the result of a mandatory repayment at a date other than that Interim Maturity Date selected for principal outstanding at LIBOR as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 7.1) and the acceleration of any portion of the indebtedness hereunder; or

(D) As the result of a prohibition on making, maintaining, or repaying principal outstanding at the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR.

If Lender incurs any such taxes or costs, Borrower, upon demand in writing specifying such taxes and costs, shall promptly pay them; save for manifest error Lender’s specification shall be presumptively deemed correct.

SECTION 2.6. BASIS OF COMPUTATION. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days, including the date a Loan is made and excluding the date a Loan or any portion thereof is paid or prepaid.

SECTION 2.7. COMMITMENT FEE, REDUCTION OF COMMITMENT. Borrower agrees to pay Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in arrears of twenty-five hundredths of one percent (0.25%) per year on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment. The Commitment Fee shall commence to accrue on the date of this Agreement

and shall be paid on the last day of each calendar quarter in each year, beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the date of this Agreement, at maturity and upon payment in full. At any time or from time to time, upon at least ten days’ prior written notice, which shall be irrevocable, Borrower may reduce the Commitment in the amount of at least $100,000 or in full; provided that Borrower may not reduce the Commitment below an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans. Upon any such reduction of any part of the unused Commitment, any accrued and unpaid Commitment Fee on the part reduced shall be paid in full as of the date of such reduction.

SECTION 3. PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

SECTION 3.1. PREPAYMENTS. Borrower may prepay without penalty or premium any principal bearing interest at the Prime-Based Rate or the Federal Funds Rate. If Borrower prepays any principal bearing interest at LIBOR in whole or in part on a date other than the Interim Maturity Date, or if the maturity of any such LIBOR principal is accelerated, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law Borrower shall also pay Lender for all losses and expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits acquired by Lender to make the Loan or maintain principal outstanding at LIBOR. Upon Lender’s demand in writing specifying such losses and expenses, Borrower shall promptly pay them; Lender’s specification shall be deemed correct in the absence of manifest error. All Loans or portions thereof made at LIBOR shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded by or on behalf of Lender (in the London interbank market) by the purchase of deposits corresponding in amount and maturity to the amount and Interest Periods selected (or deemed to have been selected) by Borrower under this Agreement. Any partial repayment or prepayment shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of $500,000 and the outstanding principle balance of the Loans.

SECTION 3.2. FUNDS. All payments of principal, interest and the Commitment Fee shall be made in immediately available funds to Lender at its banking office indicated above or as otherwise directed by Lender.

Borrower and each Subsidiary shall take all steps to become and remain duly qualified, in good standing and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where failure to do so might have a material adverse impact on the consolidated assets, condition or prospects of Borrower.

If acceleration, prepayment or any other charges upon the principal or any portion thereof, or any other circumstance, result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the highest lawful rate, then any and all such excess is hereby waived and shall be applied against the remaining principal balance.

All payments shall be made without deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or other charges levied or imposed on this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note, the Loans or the proceeds, Lender or Borrower by any government or political subdivision thereof.

SECTION 11. SETOFF.

At any time after an Event of Default of Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and upon notice to Borrower, any account, deposit or other indebtedness owing by Lender to Borrower, and any securities or other property of Borrower delivered to or left in the possession of Lender or its nominee or bailee, may be set off against and applied in payment of any obligation hereunder, whether due or not. The setoff provision in this Section 11 shall not be applicable to any accounts (and deposits or property therein) maintained at Lender in the name of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for which Borrower or such Subsidiaries have established and maintained in trust for the benefit of any third party (not including, however, any affiliate of Borrower or any such Subsidiary). Borrower shall be obligated to notify Lender promptly upon the receipt of any such notice of setoff, and provide supporting documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to establish, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, that any account subject to such setoff is in fact held by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of any third party (not including, however, any affiliate or Borrower or any such Subsidiary). If Borrower fails to comply with the foregoing sentence, Lender may assume that its setoff of any account or other property is valid and permissible.

Unless the context requires otherwise, wherever used herein the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and the use of one gender shall also denote the other.

Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal costs and expenses, whether in or out of court, in original or appellate proceedings or in bankruptcy) incurred or paid by Lender or any holder of the Note in connection with (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, (b) any amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the Note, (c) any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting therefrom, and (d) any transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or any other document referred to herein; provided, that, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay Lender for Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses for the matters described in the foregoing clause (a) which exceed $7,500. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Borrower expressly and irrevocably waives presentment, protest, demand and notice of any kind in connection herewith.

SECTION 14. ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

(a) This Section concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between Lender and Borrower, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document executed in connection with this Agreement (collectively, a “Claim”).

(b) At the request of Lender or Borrower, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.

(c) Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the applicable rules and procedures for the arbitration of disputes of JAMS or any successor thereof (“JAMS”), and the terms of this Section. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this Section shall control.

(d) The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in the State of California. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of Lender or Borrower, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within thirty (30) days of the demand for arbitration and close within thirty (30) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.

(e) The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(f) This Section does not limit the right of Lender or Borrower to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as, but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as, but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.

(g) The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration.

(h) By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this Agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into this Agreement.

REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

$70,000,000.00	Milwaukee, Wisconsin
	August 3, 2006

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before the Maturity Date, FIRST COMMUNITY BANCORP, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of California (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (hereafter, together with any subsequent holder hereof, called “Lender”), at its banking office at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as Lender may direct, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of each advance (a “Loan” and collectively the “Loans”) made by Lender to Borrower hereunder. The total principal amount of Loans outstanding at any one time hereunder shall not exceed XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXX 00/000 XXXXXX XXXXXX DOLLARS ($70,000,000.00).

Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time and from time to time at Lender’s sole option to attach a schedule (grid) to this Note and to endorse thereon notations with respect to each Loan specifying the date and principal amount thereof, and the date and amount of each payment of principal and interest made by Borrower with respect to each such Loan. Lender’s endorsements as well as its records relating to Loans shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the outstanding principal and interest on the Loans, and, in the event of inconsistency, shall prevail over any records of Borrower and any written confirmations of Loans given by Borrower.

Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount from time to time outstanding hereunder on the dates and at the rate or rates as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America.

This Note evidences indebtedness incurred under that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof executed by and between Borrower and Lender (and, if amended, restated or replaced, all amendments, restatements and replacements thereto or therefor, if any) (the “Revolving Credit Agreement;” capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the same meaning herein as in the Revolving Credit Agreement). Reference is hereby made to the Revolving Credit Agreement for a statement of its terms and provisions, including without limitation those under which this Note may be paid prior to its due date or have its due date accelerated. This Note replaces that certain Revolving Credit Note dated August 4, 2005, in the stated principal amount of $50,000,000, from Borrower to Lender, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the indebtedness evidenced thereby has not been extinguished and that no novation has occurred.

Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, legal costs and expenses, in each case whether in or out of court, in original or appellate proceedings or in bankruptcy) incurred or paid by Lender or any holder hereof in connection with the enforcement or preservation of its rights hereunder or under any document or instrument executed in connection herewith. Borrower expressly and irrevocably waives presentment, protest, demand and notice of any kind in connection herewith.

This Note is secured by the property described in the Pledge Agreement (as such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), to which reference is made for a description of the collateral provided thereby and the rights of Lender and Borrower in respect of such collateral.

This Note and any document or instrument executed in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal law of the State of New York. Unless the context requires otherwise, wherever used herein the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and the use of one gender shall also denote the other. Captions herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof; references herein to Sections or provisions without reference to the document in which they are contained are references to this Note. This Note shall bind Borrower, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not transfer or assign any of its rights or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.
