As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the body of this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit 1.

ARTICLE 2. THE MERGER

Section 2.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as promptly as practicable following the receipt of the Last Regulatory Approval and the expiration of all applicable waiting periods, BMC shall be merged with and into CVC Bank, with CVC Bank being the Surviving Banking Corporation of the merger, all pursuant to the Agreement of Merger attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2.1 (the “Merger Agreement”) and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Corporations Code and the California Financial Code (the “Merger”). The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at a location and time and Business Day to be designated by CVCB and reasonably concurred to by BMC (the “Closing Date”) which shall not, however, be later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Last Regulatory Approval and expiration of all applicable waiting periods or, at the election of CVCB, on the last Business Day of the month in which such fifth Business Day occurs. The Merger shall be effective when the Merger Agreement (together with any other documents required by law to effectuate the Merger) shall have been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California and the CDFI. When used in this Agreement, the term “Effective Time” shall

mean the time of filing of the Merger Agreement with the Secretary of State and the CDFI, and “Surviving Banking Corporation” shall mean CVC Bank.

Section 2.2 Effect of Merger. By virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, all of the rights, privileges, powers and franchises and all property and assets of every kind and description of BMC shall be vested in and be held and enjoyed by CVC Bank, which shall be the Surviving Banking Corporation, without further act or deed, and all the estates and interests of every kind of BMC, including all debts due to it, shall be as effectively the property of CVC Bank as they were of BMC immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in BMC shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Merger; and all rights of creditors and liens upon any property of BMC shall be preserved unimpaired and all debts, liabilities and duties of BMC shall be debts, liabilities and duties of CVC Bank and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if such debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it, and none of such debts, liabilities or duties shall be expanded, increased, broadened or enlarged by reason of the Merger.

Section 2.3 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of CVC Bank in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Banking Corporation until amended, and the name of the Surviving Banking Corporation shall be “Central Valley Community Bank.”

Section 2.4 Conversion of CVC Bank Stock. The authorized and issued capital stock of CVC Bank immediately prior to the Effective Time, on and after the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and without any further action on the part of CVC Bank shall remain as the common stock of the Surviving Banking Corporation.

Section 2.5 BMC Stock Options. Prior to the Effective Time, BMC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make arrangements satisfactory to CVCB for the cancellation of all of the BMC Stock Options and the delivery of an agreement between BMC and each Option Holder of those BMC Stock Options, canceling such Option Holder’s BMC Stock Options in return for receipt immediately preceding the Effective Time of the difference between the exercise price of the option and the Per Share Merger Consideration.

Section 2.6 Exchange Amount; Conversion of BMC Common Stock.

2.6.1 Conversion of BMC Common Stock. At the Effective Time the conversion of each outstanding share of BMC Common Stock shall proceed as follows:

(a) CVCB shall deliver to the Exchange Agent the Stock Component and the Remaining Cash Component. Each share of BMC Common Stock, (except for Perfected Dissenting Shares, if applicable) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, but subject to Sections 2.6.2 and 2.6.5 hereof, be converted into the right to receive cash or CVCB Common Stock. CVCB shall set aside, in cash out of the Cash Component, for each Perfected Dissenting Share, the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Dissenters’ Set Aside”).

(b) The holders of certificates formerly representing shares of BMC Common Stock shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of BMC, except such rights, if any, as they may have pursuant to the California Corporations Code and the California Financial Code. Except as provided above, until certificates representing shares of BMC Common Stock are surrendered for exchange, the certificates of each holder shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

“Merger Consideration” shall mean $6,200,000 in cash and 261,053 shares of CVCB Common Stock, which, for purposes of this Agreement, are valued at $6,200,000; provided, however, that in the event that the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity on the Closing Financial Statement is less than the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity on the Determination Date, the Cash Component of the Merger Consideration shall be reduced by the Merger Consideration Adjustment.

“Merger Consideration Adjustment” shall mean an amount equal to (a) $12,400,000 minus (b) $12,400,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity on the Determination Date, and the denominator of which shall equal the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity.

“Cash Component” shall mean $6,200,000 minus the Merger Consideration Adjustment.

“Stock Component” shall mean 261,053 shares of CVCB Common Stock.

“Value of the Stock Component” shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be $6,200,000.

“Pro Forma Shares” shall mean the sum of all outstanding shares of BMC Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

“Initial Per Share Merger Consideration” shall mean the Cash Component plus the Value of the Stock Component divided by the Pro Forma Shares.

“Remaining Cash Component” shall mean the remainder of (x) the Cash Component, minus (y) cash equal to the total number of Perfected Dissenting Shares multiplied by the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration.

“Value of the Per Share Stock Component” shall mean the Value of the Stock Component divided by the remainder of (x) Pro Forma Shares, minus (y) the total number of Perfected Dissenting Shares.

“Remaining Per Share Cash Component” shall mean the Remaining Cash Component divided by the remainder of (x) Pro Forma Shares, minus (y) the total number of Perfected Dissenting Shares.

“Per Share Merger Consideration” shall mean the combined value of the Value of the Per Share Stock Component and the Remaining Per Share Cash Component as of the Effective Time.

2.6.2 Cash/Stock Election.

(a) Each BMC shareholder other than a holder of Perfected Dissenting Shares may state a preference to receive his or her Per Share Merger Consideration in (i) all shares of CVCB Common Stock or (ii) all cash. The Merger Consideration shall be allocated in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.6.2.

(b) The Cash/Stock Election is subject to the limitation that the aggregate shall not exceed the Remaining Cash Component and the Stock Component.

(c) First, the election of the Stock Electors shall be fulfilled by providing to each Stock Elector for each share of BMC Common Stock he or she owns the Per Share Merger Consideration in shares of CVCB Common Stock from the Stock Component. If the elections of all of the Stock Electors cannot be fulfilled, then the Stock Component shall be divided among the Stock Electors pro rata by the number of shares of their BMC Common Stock, and each Stock Elector shall receive cash from the Remaining Cash Component for the remainder of the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of BMC Common Stock which is not converted into shares of CVCB Common Stock and all other shareholders will only receive cash.

If there are any shares of CVCB Common Stock remaining after payment to the Stock Electors, then, each holder of BMC Common Stock other than a holder of Perfected Dissenting Shares that makes no election or an improper election (“No Election Shareholder”) shall receive for each share of BMC Common Stock he or she owns the Per Share Merger Consideration in shares of CVCB Common Stock. In the event there are insufficient shares of CVCB Common Stock available to pay all the No Election Shareholders in full with shares of CVCB Common Stock, then the left over Stock Component shall be divided among the No Election Shareholders pro rata by the number of shares of their BMC Common Stock and each such No Election Shareholder shall receive cash from the Remaining Cash Component for the remainder of the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of BMC Common Stock which is not converted into shares of CVCB Common Stock and all other shareholders will only receive cash.

If there are any shares of CVCB Common Stock remaining after payment to the Stock Electors and the No Election Shareholders, then the left over Stock Component shall be divided among the Cash Electors pro rata by the number of shares of their BMC Common Stock and each such Cash Elector shall receive

cash from the Remaining Cash Component for the remainder of the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of BMC Common Stock which is not converted into shares of CVCB Common Stock.

(d) CVCB shall prepare a transmittal letter incorporating a Cash/Stock Election form reasonably acceptable to BMC (“Form of Election”) which shall be mailed to BMC’s shareholders entitled to vote at the shareholders’ meeting to adopt this Agreement (the “BMC Shareholders’ Meeting”) together with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined in Section 3.7.2) so as to permit BMC’s shareholders to exercise their right to make a Cash/Stock Election prior to the Election Deadline. As used herein, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. local time in the city in which the principal office of the Exchange Agent is located on the date that is the Business Day prior to the date of the BMC Shareholders’ Meeting to approve the transactions anticipated by this Agreement. BMC and CVCB shall cooperate to issue a press release reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the date of the Election Deadline not more than 15 Business Days before, and at least 5 Business Days prior to, the Election Deadline.

(e) A BMC shareholder who holds shares in two or more capacities or in different names may make a separate Cash/Stock Election for each name or capacity in which shares are held. However, holders whose shares are represented by one or more certificates may make only one Cash/Stock Election for each such certificate.

(f) CVCB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available as promptly as possible a Form of Election to any BMC shareholder who requests such Form of Election following the initial mailing of the Forms of Election and prior to the Election Deadline.

(g) Any Cash/Stock Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received by the Election Deadline a Form of Election properly completed and signed and accompanied by certificates of the shares of BMC Common Stock (the “BMC Stock Certificates” or “Certificates”) to which such Form of Election relates or by an appropriate customary guarantee of delivery of such certificates, as set forth in the Form of Election, from a member of any registered national securities exchange or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States; provided, that such certificates are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time required in such guarantee of delivery (a proper election is sometimes hereinafter referred to as an “Effective Election Statement”). Failure to deliver shares of BMC Common Stock covered by such a guarantee of delivery within the time set forth on such guarantee shall be deemed to invalidate any otherwise properly made Cash/Stock Election, unless otherwise determined by CVCB, in its sole discretion.

(h) Any BMC shareholder may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, change his or her Cash/Stock Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and

signed revised Form of Election. If CVCB determines in its reasonable discretion that any Cash/Stock Election is not properly made with respect to any shares of BMC Common Stock, such Cash/Stock Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the holder of the shares of BMC Common Stock shall be deemed not to have made an election with respect to the shares of BMC Common Stock held by such shareholder, unless a proper Cash/Stock Election is thereafter timely made.

(i) Any BMC shareholder may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, revoke his or her Cash/Stock Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of his or her BMC Stock Certificate, or of the guarantee of delivery of such certificates, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent. All Cash/Stock Elections shall be revoked automatically if the Exchange Agent is notified in writing by CVCB or BMC that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article VIII.

(j) BMC shareholders who make Cash/Stock Elections have no assurance that they will receive all cash or all stock or any specific proportion thereof.

(k) The terms used in this provision shall have the following meanings:

“Cash/Stock Election” shall mean the process described herein by which each BMC shareholder other than a holder of Perfected Dissenting Shares shall be permitted to state a preference to receive all cash or all stock in exchange for his or her shares of BMC Common Stock.

“Stock Elector” shall mean a BMC shareholder who has timely submitted the proper form expressing a request to receive all shares of CVCB Common Stock as his or her Per Share Merger Consideration.

“Cash Elector” shall mean a BMC shareholder who has timely submitted the proper form expressing a request to receive all cash as his or her Per Share Merger Consideration.

2.6.3 Reservation of Shares. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of CVCB shall reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of CVCB Common Stock for the purpose of issuing its shares to the shareholders of BMC in accordance herewith.

2.6.4 Exchange of BMC Common Stock.

(a) As to those BMC shareholders who have not tendered their shares in connection with the election procedures set forth in Section 2.6.2 above, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, holders of record of Certificates shall be instructed to tender such Certificates to the Exchange Agent pursuant to a letter of transmittal that CVCB shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such holders. Such letter of transmittal shall specify that risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass only upon acceptance of such Certificates by the Exchange Agent.

(b) After the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate that surrenders such Certificate to the Exchange Agent will, upon acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares represented thereby as determined under Section 2.6.2.

(c) The Exchange Agent shall accept Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. Certificates shall be appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require.

(d) Each outstanding Certificate, other than those representing Perfected Dissenting Shares, shall until duly surrendered to the Exchange Agent be deemed to evidence the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares represented thereby.

(e) After the Effective Time, holders of Certificates shall cease to have rights with respect to the BMC Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates, and their sole rights (other than the holders of Certificates representing Perfected Dissenting Shares) shall be to exchange such Certificates for the Per Share Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, BMC shall deliver a certified copy of a list of its shareholders to the Exchange Agent. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer of Certificates on the records of BMC, and if such Certificates are presented to BMC for transfer, they shall be canceled against delivery of the Per Share Merger Consideration. CVCB shall not be obligated to deliver any Per Share Merger Consideration to any holder of BMC Common Stock until such holder surrenders the Certificates as provided herein. No dividends declared will be remitted, nor any voting rights granted, to any person entitled to receive CVCB Common Stock under this Agreement until such person surrenders the Certificate representing the right to receive such CVCB Common Stock, at which time such dividends on whole shares of CVCB Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be remitted to such person, without interest and less any taxes that may have been imposed thereon, and voting rights will be restored. Certificates surrendered for exchange by any person constituting an “affiliate” of BMC for purposes of Rule 145 under

the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act”) shall not be exchanged for certificates representing CVCB Common Stock until CVCB has received a written agreement from such person as specified in Section 5.3. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement nor any affiliate thereof shall be liable to any holder of BMC Common Stock represented by any Certificate for any consideration paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. CVCB and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of BMC to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any consideration in respect thereof in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(f) If any Per Share Merger Consideration is to be issued to a person other than a person in whose name a surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of issuance that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such issuance shall pay to the Exchange Agent any required transfer or other taxes or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(g) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall deliver to the Exchange Agent an affidavit stating such fact, in form satisfactory to CVCB, and, at CVCB’s discretion, a bond in such reasonable sum as the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against CVCB or BMC or its successor or any other party with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. Upon such delivery, the owner shall have the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the shares represented by the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

2.6.5 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional shares of CVCB Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of CVCB Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates of such holder) shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by $23.75. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share interest.

2.7 Dissenters’ Rights. Shares of BMC Common Stock, the holders of which have lawfully dissented from the Merger in accordance with Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code (“Chapter 13”) and have timely filed with BMC a written demand for purchase of his or her shares and have surrendered his or her stock certificates pursuant to Section 1302 of Chapter 13, are herein called “Dissenting Shares.” Dissenting Shares, the holders of which have not

effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenters’ rights under Chapter 13 (“Perfected Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted pursuant to Section 2.6 but the holders thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Chapter 13. Each holder of Perfected Dissenting Shares who is entitled to payment for his or her BMC Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13 shall receive payment therefor from CVCB (but only after the amount thereof shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions).

If any holder of Dissenting Shares has effectively withdrawn or lost his or her dissenter’s rights under Chapter 13 prior to the Election Deadline, an Effective Election Statement submitted with respect to such shares will be given effect in the same manner as other Effective Election Statements but if no Effective Election Statement is submitted, such shares will be treated as No Election Shares. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose his or her dissenter’s rights under Chapter 13 after the Election Deadline, the Dissenting Shares owned by such holder shall be treated as No Election Shares.

Section 2.8 Board of Directors of Successor Banking Corporation following the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the existing Board of Directors of CVC Bank shall comprise the Board of Directors of the Successor Banking Corporation.

ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BMC

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered by BMC to CVCB and CVC Bank prior to the execution hereof, BMC represents and warrants to CVCB and CVC Bank that all of the statements contained in this Article 3 are true. For purposes of the representations and warranties of BMC contained herein, disclosure in any section of the Disclosure Schedule of any facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be adequate response and disclosure of such facts or circumstances with respect to all representations or warranties by BMC calling for disclosure of such information, whether or not such disclosure is specifically associated with or purports to respond to one or more of such representations or warranties, if it is reasonably apparent on the face of the Disclosure Schedule that such disclosure is applicable. The inclusion of any information in any section of the Disclosure Schedule or other document delivered by BMC pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

Section 3.1 Organization; Corporate Power; Etc. BMC is a California banking corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business substantially as it is being conducted on the date of this Agreement. BMC is a California state-chartered bank authorized by the CDFI to conduct a general banking business in California. BMC is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. BMC’s deposits are insured by the FDIC in the manner and to the full extent provided by law. Neither the scope of business or BMC, nor the location of any of its respective properties, requires that BMC be licensed or qualified to conduct business in any jurisdiction other than those jurisdictions in which it is licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on BMC taken as a whole. BMC has all requisite corporate power and

authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to obtaining all requisite Regulatory Approvals and the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of BMC Common Stock, BMC will have the requisite corporate power and authority to perform its obligations hereunder with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3.2 Licenses and Permits. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.2, BMC has all material licenses, certificates, franchises, rights and permits that are necessary for the conduct of its business, and such licenses are in full force and effect, except for any failure to be in full force and effect that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on BMC or on the ability of BMC to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The properties, assets, operations and businesses of BMC are and have been maintained and conducted, in all material respects, in compliance with all applicable licenses, certificates, franchises, rights and permits.

Section 3.3 Subsidiaries. Other than as set forth on Schedule 3.3, there is no corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity in which BMC owns, directly or indirectly (except as pledgee pursuant to loans or stock or other interest held as the result of or in lieu of foreclosure pursuant to pledge or other security arrangement) any equity or other voting interest or position.

Section 3.4 Authorization of Agreement; No Conflicts.

3.4.1 The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement by BMC, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of BMC, subject only to the approval of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Merger by BMC’s shareholders. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by BMC and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of BMC, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general equitable principles. The Merger Agreement, upon the receipt of all Requisite Regulatory Approvals and the due execution and filing of such Merger Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Corporations Code and the California Financial Code, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of BMC, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general equitable principles.

3.4.2 Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.4, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default or loss of a material benefit under, any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of BMC, or except for the necessity of obtaining Requisite Regulatory Approvals and the approval of the shareholders of BMC, any material mortgage, indenture, lease, agreement or other material instrument or any permit, concession, grant, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to BMC or any of its assets or properties, other than any such

conflict, violation, default or loss which (i) will not have a Material Adverse Effect on BMC, or on CVCB or CVC Bank following consummation of the Merger; or (ii) will be cured or waived prior to the Effective Time. No material consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by BMC or the performance by BMC of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, except for (a) filings required in order to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals; (b) the filing and approval of the Merger Agreement with the Secretary of the State of California and the CDFI; and (c) Tax Filings.

Section 3.5 Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of BMC consists of 40,000,000 shares divided into two classes as follows: 30,000,000 shares of BMC Common Stock, no par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of BMC Preferred Stock. On the date of this Agreement, 472,902 shares of BMC Common Stock were issued and outstanding, 138,000 shares of BMC Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding BMC Stock Options under the BMC Stock Option Plan, and no shares of BMC Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding BMC Stock Options under the BMC Stock Option Plan. All outstanding shares of BMC Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and do not possess any preemptive rights and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights or any similar rights of any Person. Except for the BMC Stock Options described on Schedule 3.24 to this Agreement, BMC does not have outstanding any options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments, securities or agreements of any character to which BMC is a party or by which it is bound obligating BMC to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock of BMC or obligating BMC to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, commitment or agreement.

Section 3.6 BMC Filings. Since January 1, 2000, BMC has filed all reports, registrations and statements, together with any amendments required to be made with respect thereto, that were required to be filed with (a) the FDIC; (b) the CDFI; and (c) any other applicable federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority. All such reports, registrations and filings, and all reports sent to BMC’s shareholders during the three-year period ended December 31, 2003 (whether or not filed with any Regulatory Authority), are collectively referred to as the “BMC Filings.” Except to the extent prohibited by law, copies of the BMC Filings have been made available to CVCB. As of their respective filing or mailing dates, each of the past BMC Filings (a) was true and complete in all material respects (or was amended so as to be so promptly following discovery of any discrepancy); and (b) complied in all material respects with all of the statutes, rules and regulations enforced or promulgated by the governmental or regulatory authority with which it was filed (or was amended so as to be so promptly following discovery of any such noncompliance) and none contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The BMC Financial Statements, together with the financial statements contained in the BMC Filings, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, or applicable regulatory accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to recurring adjustments normal in nature and amount) the financial

position of BMC as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the periods then ended.

Section 3.7 Accuracy of Information Supplied.

3.7.1 No representation or warranty of BMC contained herein or any statement, schedule, exhibit or certificate given or to be given by or on behalf of BMC to CVCB or CVC Bank in connection herewith and none of the information supplied or to be supplied by BMC to CVCB or CVC Bank hereunder to the best of BMC’s Knowledge contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

3.7.2 None of the information supplied or to be supplied by BMC or relating to BMC and approved by BMC which is included or incorporated by reference in (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by CVCB in connection with the issuance of shares of CVCB Common Stock in the Merger (including the Proxy Statement of BMC and the Prospectus of CVCB (“Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) constituting a part thereof, the “Registration Statement”) will, at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at all times from the date of mailing to shareholders of BMC through the date of the meeting of shareholders of BMC to be held in connection with the Merger, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (iii) the applications and forms to be filed with securities or “blue sky” authorities, self regulatory authorities, or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, the issuance of any shares of CVCB Common Stock in connection with the Merger, or any Requisite Regulatory Approvals will, at the time filed or at the time they become effective, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus (except that BMC makes no representations or warranties relating to such portions thereof that relate only to CVCB and its Subsidiaries) will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

3.7.3 BMC has delivered or will deliver to CVCB copies of: (a) the audited balance sheets of BMC as of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to such financial statements, all as audited by Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP, independent public accountants (the “BMC Financial Statements”), and BMC will hereafter until the Closing Date deliver to CVCB copies of additional financial statements of BMC as provided in Sections 5.1.1(iii). The BMC Financial Statements have been prepared (and all of said additional financial statements

will be prepared) in accordance with GAAP, or applicable regulatory accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) consistently followed throughout the periods covered by such statements, and present (and, when prepared, will present) fairly the financial position of BMC, as of the respective dates indicated and the results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity at the respective dates and for the respective periods covered by such financial statements (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to recurring adjustments normal in nature and amount). In addition, BMC has delivered or made available to CVCB copies of all management or other letters delivered to BMC by its independent accountants in connection with the audit of any of the BMC Financial Statements or by such accountants or any consultant regarding the internal controls or internal compliance procedures and systems of BMC issued at any time since January 1, 2000, and will make available for inspection by CVCB or its representatives, at such times and places as CVCB may reasonably request, reports and working papers produced or developed by such accountants or consultants. BMC has no liabilities (whether accrued, contingent, or otherwise) that are not disclosed on the BMC Financial Statements, other than liabilities which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and there have been no problems with BMC’s internal controls or internal compliance procedures and systems known to BMC or identified by accountants or consultants that as of the date hereof remain uncorrected.

Section 3.8 Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.8, the business of BMC has not been and is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation, except for violations which individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect on BMC, or CVCB or CVC Bank at or following the Effective Time.

For purposes of this Agreement, shares held in a
