  established by the Board of Directors. Minimum criteria for non-employee
  candidates includes independence and financial literacy, as defined under
  applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
  pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and Nasdaq Listing Rules.
  Additional criteria may include (a) satisfactory results of any background
  investigation, (b) experience and expertise, (c) financial resources, (d)
  ability to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill the
  responsibilities of a director, (e) involvement in community activities in
  the market areas served by the Company and its subsidiary, Service 1st
  Bank, that may enhance the reputation of the Company and the Bank, and (f)
  such other criteria as the Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors
  may determine to be relevant. The Company and the Bank operate in a highly
  regulated industry and are subject to the supervision, regulation and
  periodic examination by state and federal banking regulatory authorities
  including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, California
  Commissioner of Financial Institutions and Federal Deposit Insurance
  Corporation.  Directors of the Company
  and the Bank are subject to certain rules and regulations and potential
  liabilities not otherwise applicable to directors of non-banking
  organizations. Consequently, the Nominating Committee and the Board of
  Directors may choose to include more extensive inquiries into personal background
  information including confirmation of the accuracy and completeness of
  background information by (a) requiring candidates to complete questionnaires
  to elicit information of the type required to be disclosed by the Company in
  reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, state and federal
  banking regulatory authorities, or other governmental authorities having
  jurisdiction over the Company and the Bank, (b) conducting background
  investigations by qualified independent organizations experienced in
  conducting criminal and civil investigatory reviews, and (c) such other
  personal and financial reviews and analyses as the Nominating Committee and
  the Board of Directors may deem appropriate in connection with the
  consideration of candidates.

  will include review of attendance, participation, continuing education,
  investment in shares, business development and community involvement. In lieu
  of the information required to be provided by new candidates for election to
  the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors
  may rely upon the information contained in the most recent annual Directors
  and Officers Questionnaire completed by the existing member of the Board of
