group of management and highly compensated employees of the
Company  and (ii) the members of the Board of Directors of the
Company, in order to provide such employees and directors with certain deferred
compensation benefits. The Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation plan that
is intended to qualify for the exemptions provided in sections 201, 301, and 401
of ERISA.

    

    SECTION
1

    DEFINITIONS

    

    The
following words and phrases shall have the following meanings unless a different
meaning is plainly required by the context:

    

    
      	
              1.1

            	
              “Beneficiary”
      shall mean the person or persons entitled to receive benefits under the
      Plan upon the death of a Participant, as provided in Section
      5.4.

            

    

    
      	
              1.2

            	
              “Board”
      shall mean the Board of Directors of Bridge Bank, a California
      corporation, as from time to time
constituted.

            

    

    
      	
              1.3

            	
              
                Change
      In Control.   "Change In Control" means the first
      to occur of any of the following
events:

              

            

    

    A.           Change
In Ownership Of The Employer.  Any one person, or more than one person
acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the Employer that, together
with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent
(50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the
Employer; provided, however:

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              1.

            	
              If
      any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered
      to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or
      total voting power of the stock of the Employer, the acquisition of
      additional stock by the same person or persons shall not be a "Change In
      Control" under this Change In Ownership Of The Employer
      subsection.

            

    

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              2.

            	
              If
      any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered
      to own more than thirty percent (30%) of the total voting power of the
      stock of the Employer, the acquisition of additional stock by the same
      person or persons shall not be a "Change In Control" under this Change In
      Ownership Of The Employer
subsection.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              3.

            	
              An
      increase in the percentage of stock of the Employer owned by any one
      person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in
      which the Employer acquires its stock in exchange for property will be
      treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this Change In
      Ownership Of The Employer
subsection.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              4.

            	
              This
      Change In Ownership Of The Employer subsection applies only when there is
      a transfer of stock of the Employer (or issuance of stock of the Employer)
      and stock in the Employer remains outstanding after the
      transaction.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              5.

            	
              Persons
      will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they
      purchase or own stock of the Employer at the same time or as a result of
      the same public offering.  However, persons will be considered
      to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters
      into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar
      business transaction with the Employer. If a person, including an entity,
      owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation,
      purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder
      is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a
      corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not
      with respect to the ownership interest in the other
      corporation.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              6.

            	
              Code
      section 318(a), as modified by the lawful guidance published by the
      Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code
      section 409A, shall apply for purposes of determining stock ownership
      under this Change In Ownership Of The Employer
  subsection.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              B.

            	
              Change In Effective
      Control – Ownership. Any one person, or more than one person
      acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month
      period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or
      persons) ownership of stock of the Employer possessing thirty percent
      (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Employer;
      provided, however:

            

    

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              1.

            	
              If
      any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered
      to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or
      total voting power of the stock of the Employer, the acquisition of
      additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered a "Change
      In Control" under this Change In Effective Control –
      Ownership subsection.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              2.

            	
              If
      any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered
      to own more than thirty percent (30%) of the total voting power of the
      stock of the Employer, the acquisition of additional stock by the same
      person or persons shall not be a "Change In Control" under this Change In
      Effective Control –
Ownership subsection.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              3.

            	
              Persons
      will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they
      purchase or own stock of the Employer at the same time or as a result of
      the same public offering.  However, persons will be considered
      to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters
      into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar
      business transaction with the Employer. If a person, including an entity,
      owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation,
      purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder
      is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a
      corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not
      with respect to the ownership interest in the other
      corporation.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              4.

            	
              Code
      section 318(a), as modified by the lawful guidance published by the
      Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code
      section 409A, shall apply for purposes of determining stock ownership
      under this Change In Effective Control – Ownership
    subsection.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              C.

            	
              Change In Effective
      Control – Board Members. A majority of members of the
      Employer's board of directors is replaced during any twelve (12) month
      period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a
      majority of the members of the Employer's board of directors prior to the
      date of the appointment or
election.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              D.

            	
              Change In Ownership Of
      Substantial Portion Of Assets. Any one person, or more than
      one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve
      (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by
      such person or persons) assets from the Employer that have a total gross
      fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total
      gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Employer immediately
      prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided,
    however:

            

    

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              1.

            	
              For
      this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the
      Employer, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without
      regard to any liabilities associated with such
  assets.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              2.

            	
              There
      is no "Change In Control" under this Change In Ownership Of Substantial
      Portion Of Assets subsection where the assets are transferred
      to:

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              a.

            	
              A
      shareholder of the Employer (immediately before the asset transfer) in
      exchange for or with respect to its
stock;

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              b.

            	
              An
      entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of
      which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the
  Employer;

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              c.

            	
              A
      person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or
      indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power
      of all the outstanding stock of the Employer;
or

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              d.

            	
              An
      entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of
      which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in the
      preceding provision.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              3.

            	
              A
      person's status is determined immediately after the transfer of the
      assets.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              4.

            	
              Persons
      will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they
      purchase or own stock of the Employer at the same time or as a result of
      the same public offering.  However, persons will be considered
      to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters
      into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar
      business transaction with the Employer. If a person, including an entity,
      owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation,
      purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder
      is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a
      corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not
      with respect to the ownership interest in the other
      corporation.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              5.

            	
              Code
      section 318(a), as modified by the lawful guidance published by the
      Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code

      Section 2.1 by electing at least 30 days prior to the beginning of each
      plan year, and subject to Section 2.1.4, to make Compensation Deferrals

      this Section 2.1.2 shall be irrevocable as to amounts deferred as of the

      Timing and Method of Election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
      Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the manner and

      specified in Section 2.1.1 and 2.1.2, but shall not be later than the
      deadlines prescribed in such
  Sections.

              Suspension
      of Participation on Account of Unforeseeable
      Emergency.  In the event that a Participant incurs an
      "Unforeseeable Emergency" (as defined in this Section 2.2), the Committee,
      in its sole discretion, may suspend the Participant’s Compensation
      Deferrals for the remainder of the Plan Year.  "Unforeseeable
      Emergency" means a severe financial hardship to a Participant resulting
      from (i) an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant's
      spouse, the Participant's Beneficiary, or the Participant's dependent (as
      defined in Code section 152(a), without regard to Code section 152(b)(1),
      (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)), (ii) a loss of the Participant's property due to
      casualty (including, but not limited to, the need to rebuild a home
      following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance), or (iii)
      such other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising
      as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, all as
      determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the
      Administrator.  Such extraordinary and unforeseeable
      circumstances may, depending on the facts and circumstances, include, but
      are necessarily not limited to (i) imminent foreclosure of or eviction
      from the Participant's primary residence, (ii) the need to pay for medical
      expenses, including nonrefundable deductibles, as well as the costs of
      prescription drug medication, and (iii) the need to pay for the funeral
      expenses of a spouse, a Beneficiary, or a dependent (as defined in Code
      section 152, without regard to Code section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and
      (d)(1)(B)).  The purchase of a home and the payment of college
      tuition do not constitute an Unforeseeable
      Emergency.

      Director who has become a Participant may or may not be an active

      depending upon whether he or she has elected to make Compensation
      Deferrals for such Plan Year.

                Compensation
      Deferrals.  At the times and in the manner
      prescribed in Section 2.1, each Eligible Employee and Director may elect
      to defer portions of his or her Compensation and to have the amounts of
      such deferrals credited on the books of the Company to his or her Account
      under the Plan. For each Plan Year, an Eligible Employee may elect to
      defer an amount equal to a percentage of the Participant’s Compensation
      for the Plan Year. The percentage elected by a Participant shall be a
      multiple of 5%.  An Eligible Employee shall not elect to defer
      more than 50% of his or her base salary.   An Eligible
      Employee may elect to defer up to 100% of his or her annual bonus and a
      Director may elect to defer up to 100% of his or her Compensation earned
      as a Director. If a Participant defers any of his annual bonus and it
      is later determined by the Committee that the bonus was based on
      materially inaccurate financial statements or other materially inaccurate
      performance metric criteria at a time when the Company has an outstanding
      obligation to repay financial assistance received from the United States
      government under the Troubled Assets Relief Program and the Participant is
      considered a senior executive officer or one of the next twenty most
      highly compensated employees under the American Recovery and Reinvestment
      Act of 2009, such contribution attributable to the bonus and any related
      interest shall be forfeited from the Account, if not previously
      distributed.  If such contribution was previously distributed,
      the Participant shall repay the Employer such contribution plus any
      related interest attributable to the
  contribution.

      months in which the deferral
  occurs.

      exceeding 10 in number. Except as provided in Section 3.6 with respect to
      Employer contributions, a Participant’s election as to the form of payment

    Except as
provided in Section 3.6 with respect to Employer contributions, a Participant’s
election as to the time for payment shall be irrevocable and shall apply to all
amounts credited to the Participant’s Account, unless another deferral election
made pursuant to Section 2.1.2 changes the time for payment prospectively for
subsequent deferrals.

    
      	
              3.6

            	
              Employer
      Contributions.  The Board reserves the right to authorize
      in writing the making of nonelective Employer contributions for the
      benefit of selected Employees or Directors in an amount and frequency at
      the discretion of the Committee.  The nonelective Employer
      contribution that is credited to a Participant's Account for a Plan Year
      shall be determined by the Committee on an individual basis, such that the
      amount credited for a particular Participant may be the same as or more or
      less than the amount credited for any other Participant, and the
      nonelective Employer contribution that is credited for a Participant may
      be increased, decreased or retained at the same amount from year to year.
      The nonelective Employer contribution, if any, shall be credited by the
      Committee with respect to a Plan Year not later than the last day of such
      Plan Year. The vesting and deferral period and time and form of benefit
      payment for the nonelective Employer contributions will be decided by the
      Committee and set forth in a Nonelective Employer Contribution
      Participation Agreement with the Participant which shall be part of this
      Plan.  The Committee may, in its discretion, permit the
      Participant to make an election as to the time and form of benefit payment
      of such nonelective Employer contributions. If no Participant election is
      made regarding such nonelective Company contributions they shall be
      subject to the Employee’s or Director’s deferral directions that they have
      made for their own voluntary contributions in effect for the end of the
      Plan Year in which the nonelective Employer contribution is to be
      credited. Voluntary participation in the plan by the Employee or Director
      is not required for participation in an Employer made contribution. If an
      Employer contribution is made to a Participant’s Account pursuant to this
      Section 3.6 and such contribution is considered to be bonus, retention, or
      incentive compensation and the Employer contribution is later determined
      by the Committee to have been based on materially inaccurate financial
      statements or other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria at a
      time when the Company has an outstanding obligation to repay financial
      assistance received from the United States government under the Troubled
      Assets Relief Program and the Participant is considered a senior executive
      officer or one of the next twenty most highly compensated employees under
      the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, such nonelective
      Employer contribution and any related interest shall be forfeited from the
      Participant's Account if not previously distributed.  if such
      nonelective Employer contribution has already been distributed the
      Participant shall repay such contribution and related interest to the
      Employer.

       Subject to Section 5.2 and 5.3, distribution of
      the vested balance credited to a Participant’s Account shall commence as
      soon as administratively practicable after the date elected by the
      Participant pursuant to Section 3.5. If pursuant to Section 3.4, the
      Participant elected to receive a lump sum payment, his or her lump sum
      shall be paid to him or her on the last business day of the month
      following the date specified in the first sentence of this Section 5.1. If
      pursuant to Section 3.4, the Participant elected to receive annual
      installment payments, his or her first installment shall be equal to the
      balance then credited to his or her Account divided by the number of
      annual installments to be paid.  The first installment shall be
      paid to him or her on the last business day of the month following the
      date specified in the first sentence of this Section 5.1. Each subsequent
      annual installment shall be paid to the Participant as near as
      administratively practicable to each anniversary of the first installment
      payment. The amount of each subsequent installment shall be equal to the
      balance then credited to the Participant’s Account, divided by the number
      of installments remaining to be
made.

      of Employment Due to Change In Control. In the event of a
      Participant's experiences a Termination of Employment within two years of
      a Change In Control of the Company, such Participant shall be entitled to
      an immediate lump sum distribution of his Account balance, despite any
      election as to the time of payment pursuant to Section

      Participant had previously terminated employment), the vested balance
      credited to his or her Account shall be distributed to his or her
      Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) in a lump sum within 90 days following the

      Consent.    If a Participant designates a
      person other than or in addition to his or her spouse as a primary
      Beneficiary, the designation shall be ineffective unless the Participant’s
      spouse consents to the designation. Any spousal consent required under
      this Section 5 shall be ineffective unless it (a) is set forth in writing,
      (b) acknowledges the effect of the Participant’s designation of another
      person as his or her Beneficiary under the Plan, and (c) is signed by the
      spouse and witnessed by an authorized agent of the Committee or a notary
      public. Any spousal consent required under this Section 5 shall be valid
      only with respect to the spouse who signs the consent. A Participant may
      revoke his or her Beneficiary designation in writing at any time,
      regardless of his or her spouse’s previous consent to the Beneficiary
      designation

              Changes
      and Failed Designations.  A Participant may designate
      different Beneficiaries (or may revoke a prior Beneficiary designation) at
      any time by delivering a new designation (or revocation of a prior
      designation) in like manner.  Any designation shall become
      effective only upon its receipt by the Committee and when so received,
      whether the Participant is living or not, shall be operative as of the
      date the notice is executed, but without prejudice to the Committee on
      account of any payment made before the change is recorded.  Any
      designation shall cease to be effective when a revocation of that
      designation by the Participant is received by the Committee. The last
      effective designation received by the Committee shall supersede all prior
      designations.  If a Participant dies without having effectively
      designated a Beneficiary, or if no Beneficiary survives his or her
      surviving spouse, or, if the Participant is not survived by his or her
      spouse, the vested Account shall be paid to his or her
      estate.

      Participant incurs an "Unforeseeable Emergency" (as defined in Section
      2.2), the Committee, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding any
      contrary provision of the Plan, may determine that all or part of the
      Participant’s vested Account shall be paid to him or her immediately;
      provided, however, that the amount paid to the Participant pursuant to
      this Section 5.6 shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to
      alleviate the Participant’s Unforeseeable Emergency. Also, payment under
      this Section 5.6 may not be made to the extent that the emergency may be
      relieved by suspension of the Participant’s Compensation Salary Deferrals
      in accordance with Section
2.2.

      individual, any person acting as his or her custodian under the California
      Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, his or her legal representative or a near
      relative, or directly for his or her support, maintenance or

      this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is considered a Specified
      Employee at Termination of Employment, the provisions of this Section 5.9
      shall govern all distributions hereunder.  Benefit distributions
      that are made due to a Termination of Employment occurring while the
      Participant is a Specified Employee shall not be made during the first six
      (6) months following Termination of Employment, rather, any distribution
      which would otherwise be paid to the Participant during such period shall
      be accumulated and paid to the Participant in a lump sum on the first day
      of the seventh month following the Termination of
      Employment.  All subsequent distributions shall be paid in the
      manner specified.

      employment is terminated as a result of a Termination for Cause, the

        19(Date)

    

    Dear

    

    As you
know, Bridge Bank, N.A. (the “Company”) has entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), with the United States
Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) providing for the
Company’s sale of securities to Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program
(the “CPP”).

    

    As a
participant in the CCP and under the terms of the SPA, the Company is required
to ensure that its incentive compensation arrangements meet certain standards
and to make changes to its compensation arrangements with its senior executive
officers.  In order for the Company to participate in the CPP and as a
condition to the closing of the investment contemplated by the SPA, you
previously signed (1) a wavier in which you agreed to forego your rights to
compensation in excess of that permitted for participants in the CPP and (2) a
consent in which you agreed to conforming changes to certain employment and
benefit arrangements as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors for the purpose of complying with the requirements of the SPA and the
CPP.

    

    The
recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, as it may be
amended from time to time (the “Act”), includes new
provisions relating to executive compensation limitations and conditions that
may be inconsistent with those to which you have previously
agreed.  To comply with these requirements and in consideration of the
benefits that you will receive as a result of the Company’s participation in the
CPP, you agree as follows:

    

    (1)           No Golden Parachute Payments.
The Company is prohibited from paying any golden parachute payment to you during
any “Covered Period”. A “Covered Period” is any period
during which (A) you are a senior executive officer and (B) Treasury
holds an equity or debt position acquired from the Company in the
CPP.

    

    (2)           Recovery of Bonus and Incentive
Compensation. Any bonus and incentive compensation paid to you during a
Covered Period is subject to recovery or “clawback” by the Company if the
payments were based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other
materially inaccurate performance metric criteria.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (3)           No Bonus or Other Incentive
Compensation.  During the Covered Period, the Company is
prohibited from paying or accruing any bonus, retention award or incentive
compensation during the time that you are the most highly compensated employee
of the Company with the exception of certain restricted stock awards permitted
by the Act.

    

    (4)           Compensation Program Amendments.
Each of the Company’s compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit
plans, arrangements and agreements (including golden parachute, severance and
employment agreements) (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) with respect to you
is hereby amended to the extent necessary to give effect to provisions (1), (2)
and (3).  For reference, certain affected Benefit Plans are set forth
in Appendix A to this letter, but this letter shall amend each Benefit Plan,
even if omitted from Appendix A.

    

    (5)           Modification of Bonus or Other
Incentive Compensation Programs.  The Company is required to
review its Benefit Plans to ensure that they do not encourage senior executive
officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the
Company. To the extent any such review requires revisions to any Benefit Plan
with respect to you, you and the Company agree to negotiate such changes
promptly and in good faith.

    

    (6)           Definitions and
Interpretation. This letter shall be interpreted as follows:

    

    “Senior executive officer”
means the Company’s “senior executive officers” as defined in subsection
111(a)(1) of EESA as amended by the Act.

    

    “Golden parachute payment” is
used with same meaning as in Section 111(a)(2) of EESA as amended by the
Act.

    

    “EESA” means the Emergency
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 as implemented by guidance or regulation
issued by the Department of the Treasury.

    

    The term “Company” includes any
entities treated as a single employer with the Company under 31 C.F.R. §
30.1(b).

    

    The term “Covered Period” means the
period during which any obligation arising from financial assistance provided
under TARP remains outstanding.

    

    Provisions
(1), (2), (3) and (5) of this letter are intended to, and will be
interpreted, administered and construed to, comply with Section 111 of EESA
as amended by the Act (and, to the maximum extent consistent with the preceding,
to permit operation of the Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms before
giving effect to this letter).  The definitions in this letter will be
interpreted in a manner consistent with any guidance or regulation issued by the
Department of the Treasury.

    

    (5)           Miscellaneous. To the extent
not subject to federal law, this letter will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.  This letter may
be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an
original. A signature transmitted by facsimile will be deemed an original
signature.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    The Board
appreciates the concessions you are making and looks forward to your continued
leadership during these extraordinary times.

    

    
      
        	
                Yours
      sincerely,

      Bank, N.A.

              
	 
      
	
                By:

              	
                  

              
	 
      	
                Executive
      Vice President

              
	 
      	
                Chief
      Risk Officer

              

      

    

     

    Intending
to be legally bound, I agree with and accept the foregoing terms on the date set
forth below.
