Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered. INTRODUCTION On June 3, 2002, Temecula Valley Bank, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States ("Bank"), completed its holding company reorganization (the "Reorganization"), whereby the Bank became the wholly owned subsidiary of Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Registrant"). Pursuant to the Bank and Registrant Amended and Restated Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 2, 2002, each outstanding share of Bank common stock was exchanged for one share of common stock of Registrant and each outstanding warrant to purchase one share of Bank common stock became an outstanding warrant to purchase one share of Registrant common stock. U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, Glendale, California, is Registrant's transfer agent. The filing of this Form 8-A by Registrant registers its common stock and warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). The Bank previously filed Exchange Act reports with the Comptroller of the Currency. COMMON STOCK Authorized and Outstanding Stock. Registrant has authorized capitalization of 40,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 per share par value. As of April 30, 2002, as a result of the reorganization, 3,666,714 shares of Registrant common stock were issued and outstanding. Voting Rights. All voting rights are vested in the holders of common stock with each share entitled to one vote, except with respect to the election of directors, as described below. For the election of directors, California law provides that every shareholder entitled to vote may cumulate votes for candidates in nomination and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which that shareholder's shares are entitled, or distribute the shareholder's votes on the same principal among any or all of the candidates, as the shareholder thinks fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected. However, a shareholder may cumulate votes only for a candidate or candidates whose names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting, and only if the shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting at such meeting of his or her intention to cumulate his or her votes. If any one shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate votes for candidates in nomination. The shareholders of the Registrant will have cumulative voting rights, as described above, so long as California law is applicable to the operations of the Registrant. Dividend Rights. Holders of Registrant common stock are entitled to dividends legally available therefor, when and as declared by the Bank's Board of Directors. Registrant is subject to applicable Delaware and California law and applicable federal law with respect to the payment of dividends. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that dividends may be paid only: (1) out of a corporation's surplus (generally, the amount of net assets in excess of the greater of the aggregate par value of the capital stock or Board of Director determined capital); or (2) if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year, unless depreciated values in property or losses have diminished capital to an amount less than the aggregate amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon asset distribution (in which case, the deficient amount in the preference must be replenished before dividends are declared and paid.) The California General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may make a distribution to its shareholders if retained earnings immediately prior to the dividend payout at least equal the amount of the proposed distribution. In the event that sufficient retained earnings are not available for the proposed distribution, a corporation may, nevertheless, make a distribution, if it meets both the "quantitative solvency" and the "liquidity" tests provide in California law. In general, the quantitative solvency test requires that the sum of the assets of the corporation equal at least 1-1/4 times its liabilities. The liquidity test generally requires that a corporation have current assets at least equal to current liabilities, or, if the average of the earnings of the corporation before taxes on income and before interest expenses for the two preceding fiscal years was less than the average of the interest expense of the corporation for such fiscal years, then current assets must equal at least 1-1/4 times current liabilities. In addition, federal regulatory agencies have the authority and general enforcement powers to prohibit a bank from engaging in practices which they consider to be unsafe or unsound. It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of Bank, Registrant and other factors, that the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board could assert that the payment of dividends or other payments might under some circumstances be such an unsafe or unsound practice and thereby prohibit such payment. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 further prohibits a bank from paying a dividend if the dividend payment would result in the bank failing to meet any of its minimum capital requirements. Assessment of Shares. Shares of Registrant are not subject to assessment. Liquidation Rights. Subject to superior liquidation rights that may come into existence in the future, holders of Registrant common stock will have a pro rata right to participate in Registrant's assets legally available for distribution in the event of liquidation or dissolution. Preemptive Rights. The holders of Registrant's common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to any additional shares of the Registrant's common stock that may be issued. Therefore, shares of Registrant's common stock or other securities may be offered in the future to the investing public or to shareholders at the discretion of Registrant's Board of Directors, and such other securities may have rights that are senior to those of the shares of Registrant common stock. Dissenter's Rights. In certain merger and reorganization transactions, shareholders of Registrant are entitled to exercise rights of dissent and demand payment of the cash value of their shares instead of receiving the consideration in any such transaction. Such rights would be dictated by California and Delaware law, to the extent applicable. The rights under state law are very detailed with specific steps that must be taken to perfect rights and establish the price of the shares to be tendered. WARRANTS Authorized and Outstanding Warrants. As of April 30, 2002 the Bank had 194,409 warrants outstanding. After the Reorganization, each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Registrant common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The warrants will expire on June 22, 2003. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon exercise of each warrant is subject to antidilution adjustments in certain events, including a stock split or stock dividend. No adjustment in the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of the warrants will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% thereof. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of warrants, but the Registrant will pay the market value of any fractional shares otherwise issuable. In the event of a consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance of the property of the Registrant, the Registrant may, but is not required to, enter into an agreement, with the acquiring corporation for the warrants to be assumed, with the holder or each outstanding warrant to have the right, upon payment of the exercise price, to the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable by a holder of the number of shares of common stock into which such warrants were exercisable immediately prior thereto. If such an agreement is not entered into with the acquiring corporation, then the holders of the warrants will be given notice, at least 30 days prior to the last date on which the warrants will be exercisable, of the proposed transaction and the last date to exercise. The Registrant will authorize and reserve for issuance the shares of common stock initially issuable upon exercise of the warrants. When delivered, such shares of common stock shall be fully paid and non- assessable. Warrant holders will not be entitled, by virtue of being such holders, to receive dividends or to consent to or to receive notice as shareholders in respect to any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Registrant or any other matters, or to vote at any such meeting, or to any other rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Registrant. Warrant holders are encouraged to request information about the Bank and Registrant before they exercise the warrants. ITEM 2. EXHIBITS 2.

H. Warrant Shares. Warrants to purchase Bank Common Stock which are outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall upon the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the holders thereof or the parties hereto be exchanged for, converted into and be deemed warrants issued by the Bancorp with the same terms and conditions and to purchase the same number of shares of Bank Common Stock as the warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. 6.

B. Mandatory Termination. The Plan shall be terminated in the event holders of shares perfect their dissenters rights of appraisal pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Section 215a in an amount that the Board of Directors of either party determines, in its sole discretion, is detrimental to the capital levels of either party. Upon termination, this Plan shall be void and of no further effect, and there shall be no liability by reason of this Plan or the termination thereof on the part of the parties hereto or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders. 10.

(the "Corporation"), for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix, which date shall be within thirteen months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders. Section 1.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes prescribed in the notice of the meeting, may be called by (1) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption), (2) the Chairman of the Board, (3) the President or (4) the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than twenty percent (20%) of the votes at the meeting, and shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as they shall fix. Business transacted at special meetings shall be confined to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice. Section 1.3. Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the place, date and time of all meetings of the stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning, here and hereinafter, as required from time to time by the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation). When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. Section 1.4. Quorum. At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of this Corporation. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place, date, or time. If a notice of any adjourned special meeting of stockholders is sent to all stockholders entitled to vote thereat, stating that it will be held with those present constituting a quorum, then except as otherwise required by law, those present at such adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum, and all matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting. Section 1.5. Organization. Such person as the Board of Directors may have designated or, in the absence of such a person, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or, in his absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation, the Secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the Chairman appoints. Section 1.6. Conduct of Business. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order. Section 1.7. Notice of Stockholder Business. At an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before a meeting, business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (c) properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, or (d) properly brought before a special meeting by a stockholder, but if, and only if, the notice of a special meeting provides for business to be brought before the meeting by stockholders. For business to be properly brought before a meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder proposal to be presented at an annual meeting shall be received at the Corporation's principal executive offices not less than 120 calendar days in advance of the date that the Corporation's (or the Corporation's predecessor's) proxy statement was released to stockholders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders, except that if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 calendar days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year's proxy statement, or in the event of a special meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual or special meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual or special meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual or special meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual or special meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.7. The chairman of an annual or special meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.7, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. Section 1.8. Proxies and Voting. At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. Each stockholder shall have one vote for every share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law. All voting, except where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote provided, however, that upon demand therefor by a stockholder entitled to vote or by his or her proxy, a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by an inspector or inspectors appointed by the chairman of the meeting. All elections shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise required by law (see General California Corporations Law Section 2115(b), if applicable) or these Bylaws, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast. Section 1.9. Stock List. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in his or her name, shall be open to the examination of any such stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The stock list shall also be kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and shall be open to the examination of any such stockholder who is present. This list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Section 1.10. Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the actions so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. All such consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Prompt notice of the taking of a corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. ARTICLE 2. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Section 2.1. Number and Term of Office. The number of directors shall initially be six (6), and, thereafter, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption) provided that the number fixed shall be no less than five (5) and no more than twenty five (25). Each director shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Section 2.2. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or other cause (other then removal from office by a vote of the stockholders) may be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Section 2.3. Removal. Any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 2115(b) of the General Corporation Law of California, if applicable. Vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from such removal may be filled by (i) a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or (ii) the stockholders at a special meeting of the stockholders properly called for that purpose, by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at such special meeting subject to the provisions of Section 2115(b) of the General Corporation Law of California, if applicable. Directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders. Section 2.4. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such place or places, on such date or dates, and at such time or times as shall have been established by the Board of Directors and publicized among all directors.

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by two (2) or more of the directors then in office (rounded up to the nearest whole number), by the Chairman of the Board or by the Chief Executive Officer and shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as they or he shall fix. Notice of the place, date and time of each such special meeting shall be given each director by whom it is not waived by mailing written notice not less than five (5) days before the meeting (one (1) day before the meeting if delivered by an overnight courier service and two (2) days before the meeting if by overseas courier service) or by telephoning, telecopying, telegraphing or personally delivering the same not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the meeting. Unless otherwise indicated in the notice thereof, any and all business may be transacted at a special meeting. Section 2.6. Quorum. At any meeting of the Board of Directors, a majority of the total number of authorized directors shall constitute a quorum for all purposes. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting to another place, date or time, without further notice or waiver thereof. Section 2.7. Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone. Members of the Board of Directors, or of any committee of the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Section 2.8. Conduct of Business. At any meeting of the Board of Directors, business shall be transacted in such order and manner as the Board may from time to time determine, and all matters shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the directors present, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law. Action may be taken by the Board of Directors without a meeting if all members thereof consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE 3. COMMITTEES Section 3.1. Committees of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, by a vote of a majority of the whole Board, may from time to time designate committees of the Board, with such lawfully delegable powers and duties as it thereby confers, to serve at the pleasure of the Board and shall, for those committees and any others provided for herein, elect a director or directors to serve as the member or members, designating, if it desires, other directors as alternate members who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Any committee so designated may recommend that the Board of Directors declare a dividend, authorize the issuance of stock or adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation if the resolution which designates the committee or a supplemental resolution of the Board of Directors shall so provide. In the absence or disqualification of any member of any committee and any alternate member in his place, the member or members of the committee present at the meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may by unanimous vote appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member. Each committee of the Board shall consist of one or more members. Section 3.2. Conduct of Business. Each committee may determine the procedural rules for meeting and conducting its business and shall act in accordance therewith, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law. Adequate provision shall be made for notice to members of all meetings and all matters shall be determined by a majority vote of the members present.

Section 6.2. Waivers. A written waiver of any notice, signed by a stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to the notice required to be given to such stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent. Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in such a waiver. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice for such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. ARTICLE 7. MISCELLANEOUS Section 7.1. Facsimile Signatures. In addition to the provisions for use of facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these Bylaws, facsimile signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof.

Section 7.4. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year ending of the Corporation shall be on the 31st day of December of each year. Section 7.5. Time Periods. In applying any provision of these Bylaws which require that an act be done or not done a specified number of days prior to an event or that an act be done during a period of a specified number of days prior to an event, calendar days shall be used, the day of the doing of the act shall be excluded, and the day of the event shall be included. ARTICLE 8. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Section 8.1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative ("proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or, officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or employee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or employee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the laws of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said laws permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and amounts expended in seeking indemnification granted to such person under applicable law, this Bylaw or any agreement with the Corporation) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 8.2, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if (a) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, (c) such indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (d) the action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) is brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under an indemnity agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Such right shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law then so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer of the Corporation in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The foregoing is qualified to the extent of General Corporation Law of California at Section 2115(b), if applicable. Section 8.2. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 8.1 is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety (90) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if such suit is not frivolous or brought in bad faith, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to this Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that a claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct. Section 8.3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other right which such persons may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 8.4. Indemnification Contracts. The Board of Directors is authorized to enter into a contract with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board of Directors so determines, greater than, those provided for in this Article VIII. Section 8.5. Insurance.

No. W- ______ Warrants which Expire June 22, 2003 To Purchase One Share of Common Stock Each TEMECULA VALLEY BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION Organized Under the Laws of the United States THIS CERTIFIES THAT for value received, ________________, the registered holder hereof ("Holder") is entitled to purchase from Temecula Valley Bank, N.A. ("Bank"), at the purchase price of $5.00 per share ("Warrant Price") one share of Common Stock of the Bank ("Common Stock") for each Warrant set forth above. The number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price per share shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth herein. This Warrant is one of a duly authorized issue of 200,000 Warrants evidencing the right to purchase an aggregate of up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock and is issued in connection with the Bank's Offering of 200,000 Units; each Unit consisting of four (4) shares of Common Stock and one (1) Warrant to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of Warrants are referred to herein as "Warrant Shares." The Warrants may be exchanged, without charge, for another Warrant(s) entitling the holder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant(s) surrendered and any Holder desiring to exchange a Warrant(s) shall make such request in writing delivered to the Bank and shall surrender, properly endorsed, the Warrant(s) to be so exchanged. Thereupon, the Bank shall deliver to the person entitled thereto new Warrants as so requested. The Warrants shall be transferable only on the books of the Bank upon delivery thereof duly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed by a commercial bank or securities brokerage firm or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer. Upon any registration of transfer, the Bank shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the persons entitled thereto. [The following legend will be placed on warrants issued to directors and executive officers of the Bank]: If the capital of the Bank falls below the minimum capital requirements contained in 12 C.F.R. Part 3, or falls below a higher requirement as determined by the Comptroller of the Currency ("Comptroller"), the Comptroller may direct the Bank to require Warrant holders to exercise or forfeit their Warrants. The Bank will notify the holder of this Warrant within 45 days of the date the Comptroller notifies the Bank in writing that holders of Warrants must exercise or forfeit their Warrants. The Bank will cancel Warrants not exercised within 21 days of the Bank's notice. The Bank has agreed to comply with any Comptroller request that the Bank invoke its right to require holders of Warrants to exercise or forfeit their Warrants under the circumstances stated above. 1. Expiration Date. The Warrants represented hereby will expire at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on ____________, 2003 ("Expiration Date") and shall be exercisable at any time until the Expiration Date. The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may establish additional periods for the exercise of the Warrants, and may extend the Expiration Date. The appropriate terms utilized herein shall be applicable in the event of any such extension(s). 2. Period of Exercise. Subject to the terms of this Warrant, each Holder shall have the right, commencing on the date of issuance of the Warrants and extending until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the Expiration Date, to purchase from the Bank the number of Warrant Shares indicated on the front of this certificate. The Warrant Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable (except to the extent provided by the National Bank Act). Prior to exercise, upon request of the Holder, the Bank will provide Holders with the most current public financial information then available. The Bank represents and warrants that it will provide, at a minimum, the information that would be publicly available if the Bank, at the time of any such exercise, were required to file quarterly and annual report with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency pursuant to 12 C.F.R. Part 16.20, which references the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 3. Manner of Exercise. A Warrant may be exercised by contacting the Bank's transfer agent, U.S. Stock Transfer Corp., 1745 Gardena Avenue, Glendale, California 91204, (818) 502-1404 and upon presentation and surrender hereof, together with the Warrant Purchase Form at the end hereof, duly filled in and signed, and upon payment to the Bank of the Warrant Price (subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof), for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of the aggregate Warrant Price shall be made in cash, by check or any combination thereof. The Bank shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants. When Warrants are presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same Holder, the number of full Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants in full, the Bank shall pay an amount in cash equal to the then current market price per Warrant Share multiplied by such fraction. When Warrants are presented for exercise as to a specified portion, only full Warrant Shares shall be issuable and a new Warrant shall be issuable evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants. Upon surrender of Warrants and payment of the Warrant Price as aforesaid, the Bank shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants, together with payment, as provided above in this Section 3, in respect of any fractional Warrant Share otherwise issuable upon surrender. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of the Warrant Price, as aforesaid; provided, however, that if, at the date of surrender of such Warrants and payment of the Warrant Price, the transfer books for the Warrant Shares or other class of stock purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrants shall be closed, the certificates for the Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on which such books shall next be opened (whether before or after the Expiration Dates) and until such date the Bank shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Warrant Shares. The rights of purchase represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the Holders thereof, either in full or in part, from time to time in part and, in the event that a Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant Shares purchasable on such exercise at any time prior to the date of expiration of the Warrants, a new Warrant evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued; provided, however, the Bank shall not be required to issue fractional Warrants. All Warrants surrendered in the exercise of the rights thereby evidenced shall be cancelled by the Bank. 4. Transferability of Warrants. The Warrants shall be transferable separately from the contemporaneously issued Common Stock. Transfers may take place by utilizing the Assignment Form at the end hereof. 5. Payment of Taxes. The Bank will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any Warrants or certificate for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of Warrants in respect of which such Warrant Shares are issued, and in such case the Bank shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Common Stock or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the Bank the amount of such tax or has established to the Bank's satisfaction that such tax has been paid. 6. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case any of the Warrants shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Bank may at its discretion issue, upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest; but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Bank of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant, and indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to the Bank. An applicant for such a substitute Warrant shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations as the Bank may prescribe. 7. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Bank shall at all times, while the Warrants are exercisable, keep reserved, out of its authorized Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the outstanding Warrants. Promptly after the expiration of the Warrants, no shares shall be subject to reservation in respect of such Warrants. 8. Cancellation of Warrants. The Bank shall cancel any Warrants surrendered for exchange, substitution, transfer or exercise in whole or in part. 9. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as hereinafter defined: 9.1 Mechanical Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows: (a) In case the Bank shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock or capital reorganization other securities of the Bank, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of each Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Bank which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive, assuming the Warrant had been exercised. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. (b) No adjustment shall be made in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section (b) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest one- hundredth of a share. (c) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Warrant Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price immediately prior to adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter. (d) For the purpose of this Section 9.1., the term "shares of Common Stock" or "Common Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Bank at the date of this Warrant, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassification of such shares consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 9.1 (a) above, the Holder shall become entitled to purchase any shares of the Bank other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price of such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in Sections 9.1 (a) through (c) above, and the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 and Sections 9.2 through 9.4, with respect to the Warrant Shares, shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. 9.2 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the Warrant Price of such Warrant Shares are adjusted, as herein provided, the Bank shall cause to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price of such Warrant Shares after adjustment, and the Bank shall further set forth a brief statement of the facts and computations supporting such adjustment. Any failure by the Bank to give notice to the Holder or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of such adjustment or of the event resulting in the adjustment, nor of the Holder's rights to such adjustment. 9.3 No Adjustment for Dividends or Distributions. Except as provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.5, no adjustment in respect of any dividends or distributions shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant. 9.4 Rights Upon Consolidation, Merger, etc. (a) In case of any consolidation of the Bank with or merger of the Bank into another corporation or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Bank as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, such successor or purchasing corporation may assume the obligations hereunder, and may execute with the Bank an agreement that each Holder shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Warrant Price to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property (including cash) which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action. The Bank shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder notice of the execution of any such agreement. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 9. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall similarly apply to successive consolidation, mergers, sales or conveyances. (b) In the event that such successor corporation does not execute such an agreement with the Bank as provided in Section 9.4 (a) above, then as to outstanding Warrants then exercisable, each Holder shall be entitled to exercise outstanding Warrants upon the payment of the Warrant Price during a period of at least thirty days which period terminates at least five days prior to consummation of the consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and thereby receive consideration in the transaction on the same basis as other previously outstanding shares of the same class as the Warrant Shares acquired upon exercise. If Section 9.4 (a) is not applicable and Warrants are not exercised in accordance with this Section 9.4 (b) before consummation of the transaction, then all Warrants will be cancelled and become null and void. The Bank shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder, at least ten days prior to the first date on which the Warrant shall become exercisable, notice of the proposed transaction setting forth the first and last date on which the Holder may exercise outstanding Warrants and a description of the terms of this Warrant providing for cancellation of the Warrants in the event that Warrants are not exercised by the prescribed date. (c) The Bank's failure to give any notice required by this Section 9.4 or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any such agreement, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance or property. 9.5 Rights Upon Liquidation. In case (a) the Bank shall make any distribution of its assets to holders of its shares of Common Stock as a liquidation dividend or by way of return of capital, or other than as a dividend payable out of capital and unimpaired surplus legally available for dividends under the National Bank Act, or (b) the Bank shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up its affairs (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety), then the Bank shall cause to be mailed to each Holder of Warrants then exercisable, by first class mail, at least twenty days prior to the applicable record date, a notice stating the date on which such distribution, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date on which it is expected that holders of shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property or assets (including cash) deliverable upon such distribution, liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Bank's failure to give the notice required by this Section 9.5 or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of such distribution, liquidation, dissolution or winding up. 9.6 Statement on Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issued. 10. No Rights as Shareholders. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent to or receive notice as shareholders in respect of any meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors of the Bank or any other matter, or to any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Bank. 11. Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Warrant by any Holder to the Bank or by the Bank to the Holder, shall be in writing. If to the Bank, the notice shall be mailed first class, postage or hand delivered or delivered by a nationally recognized overnight service to the Bank at its office at 27710 Jefferson Avenue, Suite A100, Temecula, CA 92590 or such other address as the Bank may designate in writing to the Holder. If to the Holder, the notice shall be mailed first-class, postage prepaid or delivered by a nationally recognized overnight service at the Holder's address on the books of the Bank. 12. Applicable Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, to the extent not preempted by federal law without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws. 13. State Securities Law. The exercise of Warrants is prohibited unless the issuance of the Warrant Shares has been registered or qualified under laws of the state where registered unless there is an exemption available from such requirements. 14. Captions. The captions of the sections of this Warrant have been inserted for convenience only and shall have no substantive effect.
