AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION, dated as of February 8, 2007 (this “Agreement”), by and between CVB Financial Corp., a California corporation (“CVBF”), and First Coastal Bancshares, a California corporation (“FCBS”).

WHEREAS, FCBS operates as a one-bank holding company for its wholly-owned Subsidiary, First Coastal Bank, a national banking association (“FCBS Bank”);

WHEREAS, CVBF operates as a one-bank holding company for its wholly-owned Subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank, a California banking corporation (“CVBF Bank”);

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of CVBF and FCBS deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective corporations and shareholders to effect the acquisition of FCBS and FCBS Bank by CVBF and CVBF Bank, subject to the terms and conditions herein, by means of a merger (the “Holding Company Merger”) of FCBS with and into CVBF in accordance with the Agreement of Merger, in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Agreement of Merger”) and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California General Corporation Law (the “CGCL”);

WHEREAS, the Holding Company Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of the provisions of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to the exchange of FCBS Stock for shares of CVBF common stock and cash to be issued in connection with the Holding Company Merger;

WHEREAS, as an inducement for each party to enter into this Agreement, each of the FCBS directors listed on Schedule 1 hereto and the FCBS Shareholder listed on Schedule 2 hereto (collectively, the “FCBS Affiliated Shareholders”), who have the power to vote the number of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of FCBS set forth opposite their names on Schedule 1 and Schedule 2, respectively, have executed and delivered to CVBF, voting agreements in the form of Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2 respectively (each a “Voting Agreement” and collectively, the “Voting Agreements”), providing that, among other things, FCBS Affiliated Shareholders will, subject to the terms and conditions therein, vote their FCBS Shares, in favor of the Holding Company Merger;

WHEREAS, as an inducement for CVBF to enter into this Agreement, each of the directors of FCBS identified on Schedule 3, has executed and delivered to CVBF an agreement in the form of Exhibit C-1 (each, a “Noncompetition/Nonsolicitation Agreement” and collectively, the “Noncompetition/Nonsolicitation Agreements”) hereto providing, that, among other things, such Person will, following the Holding Company Merger, subject to the terms and conditions therein, refrain from competing with the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Bank or soliciting customers or prospective customers from the Surviving Bank, as the case may be; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement for CVBF to enter into this Agreement, the director of FCBS identified on Schedule 4, has executed and delivered to CVBF an agreement in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto (a “Nonsolicitation Agreement”) providing, that, among other things, such Person will, following the Holding Company Merger, subject to the terms and conditions therein, refrain from soliciting customers or prospective customers from the Surviving Bank.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
The Merger

Section 1.1. The Holding Company Merger. Upon the terms and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the CGCL, at the Effective Time, FCBS shall be merged with and into CVBF. As a result of the Holding Company Merger, the separate corporate existence of FCBS shall cease and CVBF shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Holding Company Merger (sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) pursuant to the laws of the State of California.

Section 1.2. Closing. The consummation of the Holding Company Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the tenth (10^th) Business Day immediately after: (i) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles VIII, IX and X, respectively (excluding conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until, but will be satisfied or waived as of, the Closing Date) and (ii) the expiration of the time period for determining which FCBS Shares are eligible to be Perfected Dissenting Shares as provided in Section 1302 of the CGCL, unless this Agreement has been theretofore terminated pursuant to its terms or unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (the actual date of the Closing being referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of Manatt, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, LLP, 00000 X. Xxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Holding Company Merger to be consummated by filing a copy of the Agreement of Merger with the Secretary of State of California, duly executed, together with the officers’ certificates prescribed by Section 1103 of the CGCL. The Holding Company Merger shall become effective on the Closing Date when the Agreement of Merger and officers’ certificates have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of California (the date and time of such filing, or if another date and time is specified in such filing, such specified date and time, being the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.3. Effect of the Holding Company Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Holding Company Merger shall be as provided in the provisions of the CGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided herein, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of FCBS and CVBF shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of FCBS and CVBF shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.4. Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of CVBF as they exist immediately before the Effective Time, and in each case until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or pursuant to applicable Law.

Section 1.5. Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers and directors of CVBF.

Section 1.6. The Bank Merger. CVBF and FCBS anticipate that, immediately after the Effective Time, FCBS Bank will merge with and into CVBF Bank (the “Bank Merger”) with CVBF Bank surviving (the “Surviving Bank”). The Bank Merger shall occur at such time after the Effective

- 2 -

Time of the Holding Company Merger, and pursuant to the Agreement of Bank Merger in the form of Exhibit D hereto (the “Agreement of Bank Merger”) or such other agreement as CVBF shall determine, in CVBF’s sole discretion.

Section 1.7. Reservation of Right to Revise Transaction. Subject to FCBS’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), CVBF may change the method of effecting the Holding Company Merger and the Bank Merger to the extent permitted by applicable Law; provided, however, that no such change shall (a) adversely alter or change the amount or form of the Merger Consideration to be paid to the FCBS Shareholders, (b) materially impede or delay the consummation of the Holding Company Merger or (c) adversely affect the tax treatment of the FCBS Shareholders as a result of receiving the Merger Consideration.

Section 1.8. Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, CVBF shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, assignments or assurances or any other acts are necessary or desirable to (a) vest, perfect or confirm, of record, or otherwise, in CVBF its right, title, or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of FCBS or (b) otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement, FCBS hereby grants to CVBF an irrevocable power of attorney, to the extent permitted by law, effective following the Effective Time, to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments or assurances and to do all acts necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm title and possession to such rights, properties or assets in CVBF and otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement. The officers and directors of CVBF are authorized in the name of FCBS to take any and all such actions following the Effective Time.

ARTICLE II
Terms of Merger

Section 2.1. Common Stock of FCBS. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 2.4, each share of FCBS Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any further action on the part of FCBS or the holders of such shares, be treated on the basis set forth herein.

Section 2.1.1 Conversion of FCBS Stock. At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Agreement of Merger, each outstanding share of FCBS Stock, excluding any Perfected Dissenting Shares or shares of FCBS Stock held by CVBF or CVBF Bank (other than those held in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted), shall, without any further action on the part of FCBS or the holders of any such shares, be automatically cancelled and cease to be an issued and outstanding share of FCBS Stock and be converted, at the election of the holder, into:

(a) a number of shares of CVBF Common Stock equal to the Per Share Stock Consideration (such quotient, the “Exchange Ratio”); or

(b) cash in the amount of the Per Share Cash Consideration.

Section 2.1.2 Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of FCBS shall be closed as to holders of FCBS Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no transfer of FCBS Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. If, after the Effective Time, certificates are properly presented in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement to the Exchange Agent, such certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for certificates representing the number of whole shares of CVBF Common Stock, if any, and/or a check representing the amount of cash, if any, into which the FCBS Stock represented thereby was converted in the Holding Company Merger, plus any payment for a fractional share of CVBF Common Stock.

Section 2.2. Election and Proration Procedures.

Section 2.2.1 Election Forms and Types of Elections. An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing shares of FCBS Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent in such form as CVBF and FCBS shall mutually agree (“Election Form”)) shall be mailed concurrently with or within five (5) Business Days of, the mailing of the Proxy Statement by FCBS, or on such other date as FCBS and CVBF shall mutually agree (“Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of FCBS Stock as of the date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the FCBS shareholder meeting or on such other date as CVBF and FCBS shall mutually agree (“Election Form Record Date”). CVBF shall make available one or more Election Forms as may be reasonably requested by all Persons who become holders (or Beneficial Owners) of FCBS Stock after the Election Form Record Date and prior to the Election Deadline (as defined herein), and FCBS shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its obligations as specified herein. Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the Beneficial Owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to elect (an “Election”) either (i) to receive CVBF Common Stock (a “Stock Election”) with respect to all of such holder’s FCBS Stock, or (ii) to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) with respect to all of such holder’s FCBS Stock, or (iii) to receive CVBF Common Stock with respect to a specified number of shares of FCBS Stock (a “Combination Stock Election”) and to receive cash with respect to a specified number of shares of FCBS Stock (a “Combination Cash Election”). Any FCBS Stock (other than Perfected Dissenting Shares) with respect to which the holder (or the Beneficial Owner, as the case may be) shall not have submitted to the Exchange Agent, an effective, properly completed Election Form received prior to the Election Deadline shall be deemed to be “Undesignated Shares” hereunder.

Section 2.2.2 Proper and Timely Election. Any Election shall have been properly made and effective only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by 5:00 p.m. on the business day prior to the date of the FCBS Shareholder Meeting or such other time and date as CVBF and FCBS may mutually agree (the “Election Deadline”). An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if an Election is indicated for each share of FCBS Stock covered by such Election Form and if accompanied by one or more certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such certificates) representing all shares of FCBS Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in or required by the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of FCBS Stock represented by such Election Form shall automatically become Undesignated Shares unless and until a new Election is properly made with respect to such shares on or before the Election Deadline, and CVBF shall cause the certificates representing such shares of FCBS Stock to be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the revoked Election Form upon written request to that effect from the holder who submitted such Election Form. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any decisions of CVBF and FCBS required by the Exchange Agent and made in good faith in determining such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither CVBF nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

Section 2.2.3 Payment and Proration. As promptly as practicable but no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, CVBF shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation

- 4 -

among the holders of FCBS Stock of rights to receive CVBF Common Stock or cash in the Holding Company Merger in accordance with the Election Forms as follows:

(a) if the aggregate number of shares of FCBS Stock as to which Stock Elections and Combination Stock Elections shall have effectively been made results in the issuance of CVBF Common Stock pursuant to the Holding Company Merger that would have an aggregate value which exceeds, and is not approximately equal to, the Stock Amount based on the Exchange Ratio (assuming all other shares of FCBS Stock receive the Per Share Cash Consideration), then:

(i) Each holder of FCBS Stock who made an effective Cash Election or Combination Cash Election shall receive the Per Share Cash Consideration;

(ii) All Undesignated Shares shall be deemed to have made Cash Elections; and

(iii) A stock proration factor (the “Stock Proration Factor”) shall be determined by dividing (1) the maximum number of shares of FCBS Stock which can make a Stock Election and Combination Stock Election to equal the Stock Amount based on the Exchange Ratio by (2) the number of shares of FCBS Stock with respect to which effective Stock Elections and Combination Stock Elections were made. Each holder of FCBS Stock who made an effective Stock Election or Combination Stock Election shall be entitled to:

(1) the number of shares of CVBF Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of FCBS Stock covered by such Stock Election or Combination Stock Election, multiplied by (z) the Stock Proration Factor, and

(2) cash in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Per Share Cash Consideration, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of FCBS Stock covered by such Stock Election or Combination Stock Election, multiplied by (z) one minus the Stock Proration Factor.

(b) if the aggregate number of shares of FCBS Stock as to which Stock Elections and Combination Stock Elections shall have effectively been made results in the issuance of CVBF Common Stock pursuant to the Holding Company Merger that would have an aggregate value which is less than, and not approximately equal to, the Stock Amount based on the Exchange Ratio (assuming all other shares of FCBS Stock other than shares of FCBS Stock held by CVBF or CVBF Bank receive the Per Share Cash Consideration), then:

(i) Each holder of FCBS Stock who made an effective Stock Election or Combination Stock Election shall receive the number of shares of CVBF Common Stock equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of FCBS Stock covered by such Stock Election or Combination Stock Election;

(ii) The Exchange Agent shall select by lot such number of holders of Undesignated Shares (other than holders of Undesignated Shares who voted against the Holding Company Merger or gave notice in writing that the holder dissents as required by Chapter 13 of the CGCL prior to the meeting of shareholders to be held pursuant to Section 6.11) to receive CVBF Common Stock as shall be necessary so that the shares of CVBF Common Stock to be received by those holders, when combined with the number of shares for which a Stock Election or Combination Stock Election has been made shall be approximately equal to the Stock Amount. If all of said Undesignated Shares plus all shares as to which Stock Elections and Combination Stock Elections have been made together would

- 5 -

result in the issuance of CVBF Common Stock with a value which is less than, and not approximately equal to, the Stock Amount, then:

(iii) A cash proration factor (the “Cash Proration Factor”) shall be determined by dividing (1) the maximum number of shares of FCBS Stock which can make a Stock Election and Combination Stock Election to equal the Stock Amount based on the Exchange Ratio by (2) the number of shares of FCBS Stock with respect to which effective Cash Elections and Combination Cash Elections were made. Each holder of FCBS Stock who made an effective Cash Election or Combination Cash Election shall be entitled to:

(1) cash equal to the product of (x) the Per Share Cash Consideration, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of FCBS Stock covered by such Cash Election or Combination Cash Election, multiplied by (z) the Cash Proration Factor, and

(2) the number of shares of CVBF Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of FCBS Stock covered by such Cash Election or Combination Cash Election, multiplied by (z) one minus the Cash Proration Factor.

Section 2.2.4 Calculations. Any calculation of a portion of a share of CVBF Common Stock shall be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share, and any cash payment shall be rounded to the nearest cent. For purposes of this Section 2.2, the shares of FCBS Stock for which CVBF Common Stock is to be issued as consideration in the Holding Company Merger shall be deemed to be “approximately equal” to the Stock Amount if such number is within 5,000 shares of CVBF Common Stock of such amount.

Section 2.2.5 Perfected Dissenting Shares. The Perfected Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the Per Share Stock Consideration or the Per Share Cash Consideration, but shall, after the Effective Time of the Holding Company Merger, be entitled only to such rights as are granted them by Chapter 13 of the CGCL. Each dissenting shareholder who is entitled to payment for his or her shares of FCBS Stock shall receive such payment in an amount as determined pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL.

Section 2.2.6 Shares Held by CVBF or CVBF Bank. Shares of FCBS Stock held by CVBF or CVBF Bank, if any (other than those held in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted), shall be canceled and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor.

Section 2.2.7 Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio shall be subject to proportionate adjustments in the event that, subsequent to the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of CVBF Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities through any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other like change in CVBF’s capitalization.

Section 2.3. Effect on CVBF Bank Stock. On the Effective Time, each outstanding share of CVBF Bank Stock shall remain an outstanding share of CVBF Bank Stock and shall not be converted or otherwise affected by the Holding Company Merger.

Section 2.4. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of CVBF Common Stock shall be issued in the Holding Company Merger. In lieu thereof, each holder of FCBS Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share shall receive an amount in cash equal to the product (calculated to

- 6 -

the nearest hundredth) obtained by multiplying (a) the Weighted Average Closing Price times (b) the fraction of the share of CVBF Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends or other rights in respect of any such fraction.

Section 2.5. Exchange Procedures.

Section 2.5.1 As of the Effective Time, CVBF shall have deposited with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of FCBS Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.5 through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of CVBF Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for shares of FCBS Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and funds in an amount not less than the amount of cash payable pursuant to Section 2.1 and payable as cash in lieu of fractional shares of CVBF Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable in connection with Section 2.1 hereof but for the operation of Section 2.4 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”).

Section 2.5.2 After completion of the application procedures set forth in Section 2.2, each holder of a certificate (“Certificate”) formerly representing FCBS Stock (other than Perfected Dissenting Shares) who surrenders or has surrendered such certificate (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such certificate) together with duly executed transmittal materials included in or required by the Election Form, to the Exchange Agent shall, upon acceptance thereof be entitled to a certificate representing CVBF Common Stock and/or cash into which the shares of FCBS Stock shall have been converted pursuant hereto, as well as cash in lieu of any fractional shares of CVBF Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. In the event a certificate is surrendered representing FCBS Stock, the transfer of ownership of which is not registered in the transfer records of FCBS, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of CVBF Common Stock and cash may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such FCBS Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.5, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the certificate representing shares of CVBF Common Stock and cash as contemplated by this Section 2.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if any holder of FCBS Stock should be unable to surrender the Certificates for such shares, because they have been lost or destroyed, such holder may deliver in lieu thereof such bond in form and substance and with surety reasonably satisfactory to CVBF Bank and shall be entitled to receive the certificate representing the proper number of shares of CVBF Common Stock and cash in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.4 hereof.

Section 2.5.3 No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to CVBF Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of CVBF Common Stock represented thereby and no cash shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.4 until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate.

With respect to the information disclosed pursuant to this Section 6.2 and the Confidential Disclosure Schedules, the parties shall comply with all of their respective confidentiality and other obligations under that certain letter agreement dated December 6, 2006, previously executed by CVBF and FCBS (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 6.3. No Solicitation of Acquisition Proposals.

(a) FCBS agrees that neither it nor FCBS Bank shall, and that it shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and FCBS Bank’s Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) encourage, initiate, solicit or take any other action designed to facilitate an Acquisition Proposal or the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or take any other action designed to facilitate or that is likely to result in, any inquires or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any nonpublic information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate the submission of any inquiry or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) engage in discussions with any Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, except to notify such Person as to the existence of these provisions and refer such Person to this Agreement; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend, or propose to approve, endorse, or recommend any Acquisition Proposal; (v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any agreement, commitment or understanding contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal; or (vi) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Proposal. FCBS agrees that it shall immediately terminate and shall cause FCBS Bank, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause FCBS Bank’s Representatives, to terminate, immediately, all current discussions or negotiations (if any) in which any of them may be involved with any third party with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a) or anything to the contrary that may be contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if, prior to the date of FCBS Shareholders’ Meeting, FCBS Bank, or any of their respective Representatives, receives a written Acquisition Proposal from any Person, which Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of Section 6.3(a) and appears, on its face to be

- 36 -

bona fide, and FCBS Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor (which may be FCBS Financial Advisor or any affiliate thereof), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, then, subject to its compliance with this Section 6.3 and after giving notice to CVBF may (i) furnish information with respect to FCBS to the Person who has made such Acquisition Proposal, or any of its Representatives, pursuant to a confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality provisions not materially less restrictive than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such information has previously been provided to CVBF or is provided to CVBF substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person or its Representatives, and (ii) participate in discussions and negotiations with such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal. FCBS shall advise CVBF orally and in writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (in each case within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof), specifying the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry (as the case may be) and FCBS shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to CVBF a copy of all written materials provided to FCBS Bank in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal not later than 48 hours after the receipt of same by FCBS Bank and, in order to be able to do so, FCBS agrees that FCBS Bank will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date hereof which prohibits FCBS from providing such information to CVBF. FCBS shall notify CVBF (within 48 hours) orally and in writing of any material modifications to the financial or other material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and shall provide to CVBF, within that same timeframe, a copy of all written materials subsequently provided to or by FCBS Bank in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Neither FCBS Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, modify or amend, or propose to withdraw, modify or amend, in a manner adverse to CVBF, FCBS Board Recommendation or resolve to do so; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, FCBS Board, or any committee thereof, may withdraw, or modify or amend in a manner adverse to CVBF, FCBS Board Recommendation and if it takes such action, it also may terminate its efforts to hold, and cancel or postpone, FCBS Shareholders’ Meeting, in the event that FCBS receives a Superior Proposal and FCBS Board, or any committee thereof, determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel (which may be its current outside legal counsel), that failure to take such actions could result in a breach of FCBS Board’s fiduciary obligations under Governing Law.

(d) In addition to the obligations set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and 6.3(b), FCBS shall (i) advise CVBF as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) following the commencement of any discussions or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and the material terms and conditions that are the subject of such discussions or negotiations and (ii) keep CVBF reasonably informed of the status and material details (including material amendments) with respect to the information previously provided, pursuant to this Section 6.3(d), by FCBS in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal.

(e) FCBS Board (or any committee thereof) may, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date of FCBS Shareholders’ Meeting, terminate this Agreement to enter into an agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if:

(i) such Superior Proposal did not result from a breach by FCBS of its covenants contained in Section 6.3 hereof;

(ii) FCBS Board (or any committee thereof) shall have first provided prior written notice to CVBF that it is prepared to terminate this Agreement to enter into an agreement

- 37 -

with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall attach the most current version of any written agreement relating to the transaction that constitutes such Superior Proposal; and

(iii) CVBF does not make, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the notice referred to in clause (ii) of this Section 6.3(e), a binding, written and complete (including any schedules or exhibits) proposal that FCBS Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor (which may be FCBS Financial Advisor or any affiliate thereof), is more favorable to the shareholders of FCBS as such Superior Proposal and which, by its terms, may be accepted at any time within five (5) Business Days following such five (5) Business Day period.

(g) FCBS shall be permitted to comply with Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2 or Item 1012 of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that compliance with such rules and items will in no way limit or modify the effect of such action pursuant to such rules and items would otherwise have under this Agreement.

(h) If FCBS Board or any committee thereof takes, agrees or resolves to take any action permitted by this Section 6.3 without FCBS Bank or any of its Representatives breaching any of the terms of this Section 6.3, including, but not limited to any of the actions set forth in Section 6.3(c) and Section 6.3(e) above, such action shall not, in any way, constitute a breach of this Agreement by FCBS.

At or prior to the Effective Time, FCBS shall and shall cause FCBS Bank to, consistent with GAAP, the rules and regulations of the SEC, and applicable Law, modify or change its loan, accrual, reserve, tax, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) so as to be applied on a basis that is consistent with that of CVBF; provided, however, that no such modifications or changes need be made prior to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(e); and further provided, that in any event, no accrual or reserve made by FCBS Bank pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall constitute or be deemed to be a breach, violation of or failure to satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition or other provision of this Agreement or otherwise be considered in determining whether any such breach, violation or failure to satisfy shall have occurred. The recording of any such adjustments shall not be deemed to imply any misstatement of previously furnished financial statements or information and shall not be construed as concurrence of FCBS Bank with any such adjustments.

Section 6.5. Control of FCBS’ Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give CVBF, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct FCBS’ operations prior to the Effective Time.

- 41 -

FCBS Bank or as a result of serving at the request of FCBS as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether or not pertaining to any matter existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and whether or not asserted or claimed prior to or at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent which such Indemnified Parties are entitled under the FCBS Articles, the FCBS Bylaws, or FCBS Bank’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or equivalent organizational documents, as applicable, or any agreement, arrangement or understanding set forth in Section 7.5 of the FCBS Confidential Disclosure Schedule and for which the right to indemnification has been provided by FCBS in accordance with applicable Law (“Indemnified Liabilities”). Nothing contained herein shall make CVBF or FCBS an insurer, a co-insurer or an excess insurer in respect of any insurance policies which may provide coverage for Indemnified Liabilities, nor shall this Section 7.5 relieve the obligations of any insurer in respect thereto. Each Indemnified Person (and each of his or her heirs, executors and administrators) is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 7.5, each of whom may, individually or jointly, specifically enforce its terms against CVBF. This Section 7.5 shall survive the consummation of the Holding Company Merger at the Effective Time and shall be binding not only on CVBF but also on all of its successors and assigns.

Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.5, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Person if such failure does not actually prejudice the Indemnifying Party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Persons for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Persons advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay, promptly as statements therefor are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Persons (which may not exceed one firm in any jurisdiction), (ii) the Indemnified Person will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation hereunder in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Laws and regulations.

(c) Prior to close, FCBS shall purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for five (5) consecutive years commencing on and continuing after the Effective Time, the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by FCBS Bank on the date hereof for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided that in no event shall FCBS expend more than $100,000 in the aggregate for such extension. If FCBS is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 7.5 as a result of the preceding provision, FCBS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for $100,000

- 42 -

with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time by such directors and officers in their capacities as such.

(d) In the event CVBF (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.5.

(e) The obligations of CVBF under this Section 7.5 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to, nor shall CVBF take any other action that would, adversely affect or otherwise diminish the rights of any indemnitee to whom this Section 7.5 applies without the consent of such affected indemnitee.

Section 7.6. Severance Arrangements. As of the Effective Time, and as mutually agreed to by FCBS and CVBF, and notwithstanding any termination of FCBS Benefit Plans set forth in Section 7.4, either FCBS shall fulfill all of its obligations under the Severance Arrangements and Change in Control Arrangements or CVBF shall assume all of the obligations of FCBS under the Severance Arrangements and Change in Control Arrangements identified in Section 7.6 of the FCBS Confidential Disclosure Schedules, in accordance with their respective terms (even if the terms thereof provide for performance thereof at a later date), including any and all payment obligations thereunder and CVBF shall not challenge the enforceability or seek to invalidate or make unenforceable any of such Agreements.

Section 12.16. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after the adoption of this Agreement by FCBS Shareholders, no amendment shall be made except as allowed under applicable Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

Section 12.17. Force Majeure. The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event this Agreement is terminated as a result of a failure of a condition, which failure is due to a natural disaster or other act of God, including, but not limited to, an earthquake or flood, or an act of war or terrorism, and provided neither party has materially failed to observe the material obligations of such party under this Agreement, neither party shall be obligated to pay to the other party to this Agreement any expenses or otherwise be liable hereunder
