the death of the Participant or the Total and Permanent Disability (as defined
in Section 2.41 of the Plan) of the Participant, provided the
Participant is still employed by the Company as of the date of one of such
specified events.

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3,
the Participant shall immediately forfeit all unvested Restricted Stock on the
date of the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason prior to the
time the Restricted Stock becomes vested in accordance with this Section 3.  Upon such forfeiture, the Company may, in its
sole discretion in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Plan, elect to,
pay to the Participant, as soon as practicable after the event causing
forfeiture, in cash, an amount equal to the lesser of the total consideration
paid by the Participant for such forfeited shares or the Fair Market Value of
such forfeited shares as of the date of Termination of Service.  Upon any forfeiture, all rights of a
Participant with respect to the forfeited shares of Restricted Stock shall
cease and terminate, without any further obligation on the part of the Company.

duties, authority or responsibilities relative to the Participant’s duties,
authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction

that the Participant’s overall benefits package is materially reduced; or (iv) without
the Participant’s consent, the relocation of the Participant to a facility or a
location more than fifty (50) miles from the Participant’s then present
location.

respect to Participant (i) acts of fraud or dishonesty in the course of
his employment with or service to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) substance
abuse causing harm to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or impairing the
Participant’s performance of his regular duties, (iii) conviction of a
felony involving moral turpitude, or (iv) insubordination, dereliction of
duties, habitual absenteeism, materially deficient performance after (solely in
the case of this clause (iv)) notice to Participant and Participant’s failure

period shall be not less than 10 business days, or (v) any event described
as “cause” (or in any other term or phrase having similar import) in any
written employment agreement between the Option Holder and the Company (or any
Subsidiary).  A termination by the
Company of Participant’s employment with or services to the Company for any
reason other than as set forth in the above definition of Cause shall be
considered a termination without Cause.

 

4.                                       Restrictions on Transfer.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the
terms of this Agreement, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell,

of the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive.  No fractional shares of capital stock shall
be issued pursuant to this Agreement. 
The board of directors of the Company may determine whether cash, other
awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of any fractional
share(s) resulting from any adjustment(s) or whether such fractional shares

without the prior express written consent of the Company.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
successors, and permitted assigns. 
Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement shall be construed to
give any party other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable
right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any
provision of this Agreement.  This
Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and the successors, heirs,
personal representatives, and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.  Neither this Agreement nor any action taken
hereunder shall (a) be construed as giving the Participant any right(s) to
remain in the employ of the Company or any other employment right(s) or (b) interfere
with or restrict in any way the right of the Company to discharge the
Participant as an employee at any time.

 

12.                                 Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Governing Law.  Any action or other proceeding seeking to
enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement
may be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the State of Texas

The validity, construction, interpretation, and effect of this Agreement

the State of Texas without regard to conflict of laws principles.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue

provision, section, or article of this Agreement is declared to be void by
a court of competent jurisdiction, such sentence, paragraph, provision,
section, or article shall be deemed severed from the remainder of this
Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in effect.  In the event any court of competent
jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid,
unenforceable, and/or unreasonable as written, the court may reform the
Agreement to make it valid, enforceable, and reasonable and the Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect as reformed by the court.

forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

 

16.                                 Waiver. 
Neither the failure to exercise, nor any delay by any party in
exercising, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate
as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial
exercise of any such right, power, or privilege shall preclude any other or
further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any
other right, power, or privilege.  To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising
out of this Agreement may be discharged by one (1) party, in whole or in
part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing
signed by each other party hereto, (b) no waiver that may be given by any
party hereto shall be applicable except in the specific instance when and for
which such waiver is given, and (c) no notice to or demand on one (1) party
shall be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right
of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice
or demand as provided in this Agreement.

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy of this
Agreement and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute
one (1) and the same agreement.

 

19.                                 Dispute Resolution;
Arbitration; Emergency Relief.  All claims, disputes, and controversies of
any kind, character, and nature between any parties to this Agreement relating
to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction(s)
contemplated by this Agreement as to the construction, validity,
interpretation, meaning, performance, non-performance, enforcement, operation,
or breach shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the following
procedures:

 

(a)                                  After a claim, dispute, or controversy
arises, any such party may, in a written notice delivered to the other party to
this Agreement, demand such arbitration and name the arbitrator (who

 

5

 

shall
be an impartial person) appointed by the demanding party in such notice
together with a statement of the matter(s) claimed or in dispute or
controversy.

 

(b)                                 Within thirty (30) calendar days after
receipt of such demand, the other party to this Agreement shall, in a written
notice delivered to the demanding party, name the arbitrator (who shall be an
impartial person) appointed by the receiving party.  If any party to this Agreement fails to name
and appoint an arbitrator, then the arbitrator of such party shall be named and
appointed by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”).  The two arbitrators so appointed shall name
and appoint a third arbitrator (who shall be an impartial person) within thirty
(30) calendar days or, if the two arbitrators so appointed shall fail to name a
third arbitrator within such thirty (30) day period, the third arbitrator shall
be named and appointed by the AAA.  If
any arbitrator appointed hereunder shall die, resign, refuse, or become unable
to act before an arbitration decision is rendered, then the vacancy shall be
filled by the method set forth in this Section 16(b) for the original
appointment of such arbitrator.

 

(c)                                  Each party shall bear its own arbitration
costs and expenses.  The arbitration hearing
shall be held in Dallas, Texas at a location designated by a majority of the
arbitrators.  The Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association shall be incorporated by reference at such
hearing and the substantive laws of the State of Texas (without regard
to conflict of laws principles) shall
apply.

 

(d)                                 The arbitration hearing shall be concluded
within ten (10) calendar days unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrators
and a written award thereon shall be made within fifteen (15) calendar days
after the close of submission of evidence. 
An award rendered by a majority of the arbitrators appointed pursuant to
this Agreement shall be final and binding on all parties to the proceeding,
shall resolve the question of costs of the arbitrators and all related matters,
and judgment on such award may be entered and enforced by either party in any
court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(e)                                  Except as set forth in Section 19(g),
the parties to this Agreement agree, intend, and expressly stipulate that the
provisions of this Section 19 shall be a complete defense to any
suit, action, or proceeding instituted in any federal, state, or local court or
before any administrative tribunal with respect to any claim, controversy, or
dispute relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or
any transaction(s) contemplated by this Agreement.  The arbitration provisions of this Agreement
shall, with respect to any such claim, controversy, or dispute, survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

(f)                                    No party to an arbitration may disclose the
existence or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior express
written consent of the other party to this Agreement nor shall any party to an
arbitration disclose to any third party any confidential information disclosed
by any other party to such arbitration in the course of an arbitration
hereunder without the prior express written consent of such other party.

 

(g)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 19
to the contrary, any party may seek from a court any provisional remedy that
may be necessary to protect any rights or property of such party pending the
establishment of the arbitral tribunal or its determination of the merits of
the claim, controversy, or dispute or to enforce the rights of such party under
this Section 19.

COMMUNITY VALLEY BANCORP

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

This Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and
entered into as of the 21st of October, 2003, by and between COMMUNITY VALLEY
BANCORP, a California corporation (the “Company”), and Charles J. Mathews (“Optionee”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the COMMUNITY VALLEY BANCORP 2000 Stock Option
Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto, the Board of
Directors of the Company has authorized granting to Optionee, a nonqualified
stock option to purchase all or any part of Two thousand (2,000) authorized but
unissued shares of the Company’s common stock for cash at the price of Twenty-five
Dollars and 75 Cents ($ 25.75) per share, such option to be for the term and
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed:

 

1.             Grant
of Option. Pursuant to said action of the Board of
Directors and pursuant to authorizations granted by all appropriate regulatory
and governmental agencies, the Company hereby grants to Optionee the option to
purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is
incorporated in full herein by this reference, all or any part of Two thousand (2,000)
shares of the Company’s common stock (hereinafter called “stock”) at the price
of Twenty-five Dollars and 75 Cents ($ 25.75) per share, which price is not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the stock as
of the date of action of the Board of Directors granting this option.

 

2.             Exercisability.
This option shall be exercisable as to up to, but
not including, 20% of the options shares granted per year for a five year
period, at which time options will be exercisable at 100% of grant. The first
20% vesting will be available for exercise 12 months from the date of grant.
Upon death or disability of optionee, this grant will be deemed to be 100%
vested. This option shall remain exercisable as to all of such shares until
October 20, 2013, (but not later than ten (10) years from the date this option
is granted) unless this option has expired or terminated earlier in accordance
with the provisions hereof. Shares as to which this option becomes exercisable
pursuant to the foregoing provision may be purchased at any time prior to
expiration of this option.

 

3.             Exercise
of Option. This option may be exercised by written
notice delivered to the Company stating the number of shares with respect to
which this option is being exercised, together with cash in the amount of the
purchase price of such shares. Not fewer than ten (10) shares may be purchased
at any one time unless the number of shares purchased is the total number of
shares which is exercisable at such time, and in no event may the option be
exercised with respect to fractional shares. Upon exercise, Optionee shall make
appropriate arrangements and shall be responsible for the withholding of any
federal and state taxes then due.

 

4.             Cessation
of Directorship or Employment. Except as provided in
Paragraphs 2 and 5 hereof, if Optionee shall cease to be a director or an
employee of the Company or a subsidiary corporation for any reason other than
Optionee’s death or disability [as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”)], this option
shall expire three (3) months thereafter. During the three (3) month period
this option shall be exercisable only as to those installments, if any, which
had accrued as of the date when Optionee ceased to be a director or an employee
of the Company or a subsidiary corporation.

 

5.             Termination
of Employment for Cause. If Optionee’s employment
with the Company or a subsidiary corporation is terminated for cause, this
option shall expire immediately, unless reinstated by the Board of Directors
within thirty days (30) days of such termination by giving written notice of
such reinstatement to Optionee at his or her last known address. In the event
of such reinstatement, Optionee may exercise this option only to such extent,
for such time, and upon such terms and conditions as if Optionee had ceased to
be an employee of the Company or a subsidiary corporation upon the date of such
termination for a reason other than cause, death or disability. Termination for
cause shall include, but not be limited to, termination for malfeasance or
gross misfeasance in the performance of duties or conviction of a crime
involving moral turpitude, and, in any event, the determination of the Board of
Directors with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive.

 

 

6.             Nontransferability;
Death or Disability of Optionee. This option shall
not be transferable except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during Optionee’s lifetime only by
Optionee. If Optionee dies while serving as a director or an employee of the
Company or a subsidiary corporation, or during the three (3) month period
referred to in Paragraph 4 hereof, this option shall expire one (1) year after
the date of Optionee’s death or on the day specified in Paragraph 2 hereof,
whichever is earlier. After Optionee’s death but before such expiration, the
persons to whom Optionee’s rights under this option shall have passed by will
or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or the executor or
administrator of Optionee’s estate shall have the right to exercise this option
as to those shares for which installments had accrued under Paragraph 2 hereof
as of the date on which Optionee ceased to be a director or an employee of the
Company or a subsidiary corporation.

 

If Optionee terminates his or her directorship or employment because of
disability, Optionee may exercise this option to the extent he or she is
entitled to do so at the date of termination, at any time within one (1) year
of the date of termination, or before the expiration date specified in
Paragraph 2 hereof, whichever is earlier.

 

7.             Employment.
This Agreement shall not obligate the Company or a
subsidiary corporation to employ Optionee for any period, nor shall it
interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a subsidiary corporation
to reduce Optionee’s compensation.

 

8.             Privileges
of Stock Ownership. Optionee shall have no rights
as a shareholder with respect to the Company’s stock subject to this option
until the date of issuance of stock certificates to Optionee. Except as
provided in the Plan, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificates are
issued.

 

9.             Modification
and Termination. The rights of Optionee are
subject to modification and termination upon the occurrence of certain events
as provided in Sections 13 and 14 of the Plan.

 

10.          Notification
of Sale. Optionee agrees that Optionee, or any
person acquiring shares upon exercise of this option, will notify the Company
not more than five (5) days after any sale or other disposition of such shares.
No shares issuable upon the exercise of this option shall be issued and
delivered unless and until the Company has fully complied with all applicable
requirements of any regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the Company, and
all applicable requirements of any exchange upon which stock of the Company may
be listed.

 

11.          Notices.
Any notice to the Company provided for in this
Agreement shall be addressed to it in care of its President or Chief Financial
Officer at its main office and any notice to Optionee shall be addressed to
Optionee’s address on file with the Company or a subsidiary corporation, or to
such other address as either may designate to the other in writing. Any notice
shall be deemed to be duly given if and when enclosed in a properly sealed
envelope and addressed as stated above and deposited, postage prepaid, with the
United States Postal Service. In lieu of giving notice by mail as aforesaid,
any written notice under this Agreement may be given to Optionee in person, and
to the Company by personal delivery to its President or Chief Financial
Officer.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the day and year first above written.
