(“CVB” and with the Bank hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Company”) on the one hand, and Christopher D. Myers (“Executive”) on the other hand, on the basis of the following.

WHEREAS, the Bank and CVB have employed Executive as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and CVB since August 1, 2006 and Bank and CVB previously entered into an employment agreement with Executive on September 16, 2009; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

A. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT

1. Term. The Company hereby continues to employ Executive, and Executive hereby accepts such continued employment with the Company, for a period of five (5) years, commencing as of the Effective Date set forth above (the “Term”), subject however to prior termination as hereinafter provided. Where used herein, “Term” shall refer to the period of the employment of Executive by the Company from the Effective Date through the end of the five (5) year period provided above, or such shorter period as Executive may be employed by the Company if Executive’s employment is terminated earlier as hereinafter provided.

B. DUTIES OF EXECUTIVE

1. Duties. Executive’s duties under this Agreement shall include all ordinary and reasonable duties customarily performed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of a commercial banking institution in California, subject to the powers by law vested in the Boards of Directors of the Bank and CVB. As such, Executive shall oversee all operational aspects of the business and activities of the Company. Executive shall render his services to the Company and shall exercise such corporate responsibilities as Executive may be directed by the Boards of Directors. Executive shall report solely to the Boards of Directors of the Bank and CVB, and shall perform his duties faithfully, diligently and to the best of his ability, consistent with the highest and best standards of the banking industry and in compliance with applicable laws.

2. Conflicts of Interest. Executive expressly agrees as a condition to the performance by Company of its obligations herein that, during the Term, he will not, directly or indirectly, render any services of an advisory nature or otherwise become employed by, or participate or engage in, any business competitive with any businesses of the Company, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from owning stock or other securities of a competitor which are relatively insubstantial to the total outstanding stock of such competitor, and so long as he in fact does not have the power to control or direct the management or policies of such competitor and does not serve as a director or officer of, and is not otherwise associated with, any competitor except as consented to by the Company. Nothing contained herein shall preclude substantially passive investments by Executive during the Term that may require nominal amounts of his time, energies and interest.

3. Performance. During the Term, Executive shall devote substantially his full energies, interests, abilities and productive time to the business of the Company. Executive shall at all times loyally and conscientiously perform all of these duties and obligations hereunder and shall at all times strictly adhere to and obey, and instruct and require all those working under and with him strictly to adhere and obey, all applicable federal and state laws, statutes, rules and regulations to the end that the Company shall at all times be in full compliance with such laws, statutes, rules and regulations.

4. Subpoenas; Cooperation in Defense of the Company. If Executive, during the Term or thereafter, is served with any subpoena or other compulsory judicial or administrative process calling for production of confidential information or if Executive is otherwise required by law or regulations to disclose Confidential Information (as described in Section G below), Executive will promptly, before making any such production or disclosure, notify the Company’s counsel and provide such information as the Company may reasonably request to take such action as the Company deems necessary to protect its interests. Executive agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Company, whether during the Term or thereafter, in the prosecution or defense of all threatened claims or actual litigation in which the Company is or may become a party, whether now pending or hereafter brought, in which Executive has direct or indirect knowledge of relevant facts or issues. If Executive is no longer employed by the Company, Company shall reasonably compensate Executive for his time, and shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable expenses incurred, in connection with Executive’s cooperation in accordance with this paragraph.

C. COMPENSATION

In consideration of the performance by Executive of all of his obligations under this Agreement, the Bank agrees to pay Executive during the Term a base salary of $800,000 per year, less required taxes and withholdings, retroactive to January 1, 2014, and for each full year of the Term. The base salary shall be payable in accordance with the Bank’s regular payroll practices. The Compensation Committee of CVB’s Board of Directors may elect to adjust upward the base annual salary provided for above and other compensation of Executive from time to time, at its sole discretion.

- 2 -

2. Bonuses. For each calendar year in the Term, Executive shall be eligible to be considered for a bonus consistent with the Bank’s applicable executive incentive compensation program (currently under the CVB Financial Corp. Performance Compensation Plan), which provides for bonuses in the range of 0% to 150% of Executive’s base salary, based upon Executive’s performance and accomplishment of business and financial goals during the completed fiscal year and the overall financial performance of the Bank. The Compensation Committee of CVB’s Board of Directors retains the discretion as to whether to grant bonuses each year, and in what amounts.

3. Stock Option Grant. CVB will grant to Executive at the first Compensation Committee meeting on or after the Effective Date stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of CVB common stock. Such stock options shall be incentive stock options for federal income tax purposes to the greatest extent permitted by law. The exercise price per share for these stock options will be the closing selling price for CVB’s common stock (NASDAQ:CVBF) on the grant date. These stock options will have a term of ten years; will become vested and exercisable over five years (twenty percent (20%) on each of the first five anniversaries of the Effective Date), provided that Executive continues in employment with the Bank and or CVB through each such anniversary; and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the CVB Financial Corp. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and the related stock option agreement entered into pursuant thereto. The stock option grants provided in this paragraph are intended to be the sole stock option grants to be made to Executive during the Term, provided, however, that, CVB may make subsequent stock option grants to Executive at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Compensation Committee of CVB’s Board of Directors or the Committee administering the CVB Financial Corp. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan or other equity plan, in its sole and absolute discretion, which includes the discretion not to make any grants to Executive in the future.

4. Restricted Stock Grant. CVB will grant to Executive at the first Compensation Committee meeting on or after the Effective Date 300,000 shares of restricted CVB Financial Corp. common stock. These restricted shares will vest over five years (twenty percent (20%) on each of the first five anniversaries of the Effective Date), provided that Executive continues in employment with the Bank and or CVB through each such anniversary, and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the CVB Financial Corp. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and the related restricted stock agreement entered into pursuant thereto. The restricted stock grants provided in this paragraph are intended to be the sole restricted stock grants to be made to Executive during the Term, provided, however, that, CVB may make subsequent restricted stock grants to Executive at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Compensation Committee of CVB’s Board of Directors or the Committee administering the CVB Financial Corp. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan or other equity plan, in its sole and absolute discretion, which includes the discretion not to make any grants to Executive in the future.

5. Deferred Compensation Program. The Company will continue to provide Executive that certain deferred compensation program set forth in the CVB Financial Corp. Deferred Compensation Plan For Christopher D. Myers, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2007, and as amended effective January 1, 2014, which plan may not be further amended or terminated except as expressly set forth in Article 10 of such plan.

D. EXECUTIVE BENEFITS

1. Group Medical, Life Insurance and 401(k) Benefits. During the Term, the Bank shall provide for Executive’s participation in medical, accident, health benefits, disability insurance, the 401(k) plan/profit sharing plan and other employee benefits as provided to other officers and employees of the Bank, the amount extent and scope of which shall be determined in accordance with the plans and policies adopted by the Bank as in effect from time to time, and subject to applicable legal limitations.

2. Automobile. During the Term, the Bank shall provide Executive for his business use an automobile which is approved by the Compensation Committee of CVB’s Board of Directors and which is consistent with the Bank’s automobile policies.

Executive shall be responsible for maintaining all requisite documentation and records concerning the use of such automobile which may be necessary to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state income tax laws and regulations including, but not limited to, issues involving the determination and reporting of the taxable income of Executive and establishing the availability to the Bank of appropriate tax deductions. Executive agrees promptly to return the automobile to the Bank at the time of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section F. below, or at the time of the expiration of the Term.

3. Club Membership. During the Term, the Bank agrees to reimburse Executive for the reasonable cost (including the cost of membership initiation fee and periodic dues) of one country club membership in Executive’s name, upon submission of appropriate documentation by Executive. The Bank further agrees to consider for possible reimbursement an additional membership by Executive in a second country club should the Compensation Committee of CVB’s Board of Directors determine, in its sole discretion, that such reimbursement is justified for business-related purposes.

E. REIMBURSEMENT FOR BUSINESS EXPENSES AND MATCHING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS

Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Bank for any ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties and in acting for the Bank during the Term, which type of expenditures shall be determined by the Bank’s Board of Directors, provided that:

(a) Each such expenditure is of a nature qualifying it as a proper deduction on the federal and state income tax returns of the Bank as a business expense and not as compensation to Executive; and

(b) Executive furnishes to the Bank adequate records and other documentary evidence required by federal and state statutes and regulations issued by the appropriate taxing authorities for the substantiation of such expenditures as deductible business expenses of the Bank and not as compensation to Executive.

- 4 -

Provided that the Bank’s Board of Directors has granted specific approval in advance, any reasonable and customary expenses of Executive for his activities in industry association groups, or other business, industry, civic, or charitable organizations, that are not reimbursed by those organizations, will be reimbursed by the Bank to Executive upon presentation of proper documentation.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any reimbursements provided in this Section E or in Section D above must be paid no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such expenses were incurred; in no event will any such reimbursements made in any one calendar year affect the reimbursements to be made in any other calendar year; and Executive’s right to have the Company pay such expenses may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

For so long as Executive serves on the advisory board of the Laurence D. and Lori W. Fink Center for Finance and Investments (the “Fink Center”) at UCLA Anderson School of Management, the Bank will match Executive’s personal charitable contributions to the Fink Center up to $10,000 for each year during the Term.

F. TERMINATION

Notwithstanding any and all other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Bank and CVB, with or without Cause, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Boards of Directors of the Bank and CVB at any time. Upon any such termination, the Bank shall pay to Executive (or to Executive’s estate in the event of his death) the current base salary earned but unpaid through the date of termination, along with any earned but unused vacation pay due at the time of termination (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”), which payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date of termination or at such earlier time, as may be required by applicable law. The termination of Executive’s employment shall not affect any rights or benefits that Executive may have pursuant to any insurance, retirement, stock option, restricted stock, equity incentive, deferred compensation or other benefit plans or arrangements of the Bank and CVB, to the extent that such rights or benefits have vested prior to or as a result of such termination (the “Vested Benefits”). Any Vested Benefits shall be paid or provided solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of such other plans and arrangements. The payments provided in Sections F.1, F.2 and F.4 below, under the circumstances set forth therein, shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any and all rights and benefits that Executive might receive from his employment with the Bank and CVB, other than such other rights and benefits, if any, as are expressly set forth or referenced herein. The Bank and CVB shall have no other obligations to Executive (or to Executive’s heirs or legal representatives) upon any termination of employment, except as expressly provided below, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

- 5 -

1. Without Cause. If such termination occurs and is not for reasons described in Sections F.2, F.3 or F.4 below, and Executive complies with Section G.4. below, then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations and the Vested Benefits, the Bank shall pay to Executive an amount equal to two times his then current annual base salary immediately preceding such termination in full and complete satisfaction of any and all rights which Executive may enjoy hereunder. The payment shall be made in equal installments on the Bank’s normal payroll dates during the twelve (12) month period immediately following such termination. Such payment is contingent upon Executive’s execution of the Release described in Section F.5 within the time period described therein. Any payment or payments required to be made prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination of employment shall be held back and aggregately paid on the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination of employment. For purposes of this Agreement, a decision by the Company to not renew this Agreement or otherwise not renew Executive’s employment shall not be considered a termination without Cause for any purpose under this Agreement.

2. Upon Disability or Death.

(a) Disability. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Bank and CVB upon Executive’s inability to perform his duties hereunder as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and CVB as a result of prolonged absence from work for health reasons or physical or mental disability, illness or incapacity, for three (3) consecutive calendar months, or for shorter periods aggregating four (4) months in any twelve (12) month period, as reasonably determined by the Boards of Directors. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated under this Section F.2(a), and Executive complies with Section G.4. below, then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations and Vested Benefits, the Bank shall pay to Executive his then current annual base salary, as set forth in Section C.1 above, for twelve (12) months in equal installments on the Bank’s normal payroll dates, adjusted as hereinafter set forth. Each payment shall be reduced by the amount of any disability payments to be made under the Bank’s insurance plans, including workers compensation, during the payroll period for which such payment is made. Such payment is contingent upon Executive’s execution of the Release described in Section F.5 within the time period described therein. Any payment or payments required to be made prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination of employment shall be held back and aggregately paid on the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination of employment.

(b) Executive’s Death. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s death. If Executive’s employment terminates under this Section F.2(b), the Bank shall pay to Executive’s estate the Accrued Obligations and shall provide the Vested Benefits, but Executive (and his estate, successors and beneficiaries) shall not have the right to receive any other compensation or benefits for any period after the termination pursuant to this Section F.2(b).

- 6 -

3. For Cause. The Company may terminate immediately Executive’s employment hereunder for “Cause”, if the Board of Directors of either the Bank or CVB reasonably determines that Executive has:

(i) willfully committed a significant act of dishonesty, deceit or breach of fiduciary duty in the performance of Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company;

(ii) grossly neglected or willfully failed in any way to perform substantially the duties of such employment after a written demand for performance is given to Executive by the Board of Directors of the Bank or CVB which demand specifically identifies the manner in which such Board of Directors believes Executive has failed to perform his duties; or

(iii) willfully acted or failed to act in any other way that violates Executive’s duties under this Agreement and that materially and adversely affects the Company.

In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company under this Section F.3, the Board of Directors shall deliver to Executive, at the time Executive is notified of the termination of his employment, a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed by the Company to provide a basis for the termination of Executive’s employment under this Section F.3.

“Cause,” as defined in this Section F.3, shall not include or be predicated upon any act or omission by Executive which is taken or made: (a) at the direction of the Board of Directors; (b) in accordance with the advice of the Company’s corporate or outside legal counsel; (c) in good faith under the Executive’s reasonable belief that such action or omission was in the best interests of the Company; or (d) to comply with a lawful order, subpoena, or directive from a federal, state or local government or regulatory agency or court.

If Executive’s employment terminates under this Section F.3, the Bank shall pay Executive the Accrued Obligations and shall provide the Vested Benefits. Executive shall not have the right to receive any other compensation or benefits for any period after the termination pursuant to this Section F.3. Any termination under this Section F.3 shall not prejudice any remedy which the Company may otherwise have at law, in equity, or under this Agreement.

4. Upon a Change in Control.

(a) Except for any termination pursuant to Sections F.2 or F.3 hereof, and provided that Executive complies with Section G.4. below, if within one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the completion of a Change in Control (as defined below) Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Bank or CVB without

- 7 -

Cause, or within one (1) year after the completion of a Change in Control Executive’s employment with the Company is (i) terminated by the Bank or CVB or any successor to the Bank or CVB, or (ii) Executive resigns his employment with the Bank and CVB for Good Reason, as defined below, Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to two times Executive’s annual base salary for the last calendar year ended immediately preceding the Change in Control, plus, aggregately, two times Executive’s average of any annual bonus received for the last two calendar years ended immediately preceding the Change in Control. Such amounts shall be paid (without interest or other adjustment) in equal installments on the Bank’s (or its successor’s) normal payroll dates during the twelve (12) month period immediately following such termination. Such payment is contingent upon Executive’s execution of the Release described in Section F.5 within the time period described therein. Further, upon any Change in Control (as defined below), with or without Executive’s termination before or after such Change in Control, Executive’s options and interest in the stock, stock options, and restricted stock shares, as described in Sections C.3 and C.4 herein, shall vest fully and immediately, and without any other condition precedent. Any payment or payments required to be made prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination of employment shall be held back and aggregately paid on the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination of employment. If Executive is entitled to payments under this Section F.4 as a result of a termination of his employment occurring prior to the completion of a Change in Control, such payments shall be made in accordance with Section F.1 prior to the completion of the Change in Control, and a makeup payment of the difference between the payments provided under Section F.1 and the payments required by this Section F.4 for the period prior to the completion of the Change in Control shall be made on the Bank’s (or its successor’s) first normal payroll date following the completion of the Change in Control.

(b) A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred on the earliest date on which the conditions set forth in any of the following paragraphs shall have been satisfied:

(i) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12 month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition) ownership of stock of CVB or the Bank possessing more than 50% of the total voting power of CVB’s or the Bank’s stock; provided, however, it is expressly acknowledged by Executive that this provision shall not be applicable to any person who is, as of the date of this Agreement, a Director of CVB or the Bank;

(ii) a majority of the members of CVB’s Board of Directors is replaced during any 12 month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of CVB’s Board prior to the date of the appointment or election;

(iii) a merger or consolidation where the holders of the Bank’s or CVB’s voting stock immediately prior to the effective date of such merger or consolidation own less than 50% of the voting stock of the entity surviving such merger or consolidation;

- 8 -

(iv) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Bank that have a total gross fair market value greater than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the Bank’s assets immediately before the acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, transfer of assets that otherwise would satisfy the requirements of this subsection (iv) will not be treated as a change in the ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to:

(A) a shareholder of the Bank (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the stock of the Bank held by such shareholder;

(B) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly by CVB or the Bank;

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

(D) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power is owned, directly or indirectly by a person (or group of persons) that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Bank.

Each event comprising a Change in Control is intended to constitute a “change in ownership or effective control”, or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets,” of CVB or the Bank as such terms are defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and “Change in Control” as used herein shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur as a result of any transaction which merely changes the jurisdiction of incorporation of CVB or the Bank.

(c) “Good Reason” shall mean, for purposes of this Agreement:

(i) Executive’s then current level of annual base salary is reduced without Executive’s written consent;

(ii) there is an (relative to Executive’s annual base salary) overall reduction in the employee benefits provided to Executive (including, without limitation, the deferred compensation plan’s, minimum interest rate guarantee, life insurance and health insurance, and incentive bonus opportunity) from the plans in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

- 9 -

(iii) Executive suffers a diminution in his title, authority, duties or responsibilities, or is required to report to an officer or employee of the Bank or its successor and not directly and solely to the Board of Directors of the Bank or its successor;

(iv) Any of Executive’s salary payments, bonus payments and/or stock option grants are not made or provided timely and in accordance either with this Agreement or applicable law;

(v) the relocation of the location to which Executive is required to report to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the Executive’s work location at the time of the Effective Date;

(vi) the Company or any successor to the Company either fails to assume or communicates that it intends to refuse to assume any part of this Agreement, including all of the Company’s or its successor’s obligations as set forth herein, except as otherwise required by law or regulation;

(vii) the Company or any successor to the Company either changes or refuses to assume, or communicates that it intends to change or refuse to assume, any part of the CVB Financial Corp. Deferred Compensation Plan for Executive, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2014; or

(viii) any material breach of this Agreement by Company or its successor.

5. Release. As a condition to Executive receiving any payments pursuant to Sections F.1, F.2(a), and F.4 hereof, Executive must execute and deliver a general release to the Company not later than forty-five (45) days following the date of termination of employment, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, releasing the Bank, CVB, their respective employees, officers, directors, stockholders and agents, and each person who controls any of them within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, from any and all claims of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown (other than claims with respect to payments pursuant to Sections F.1, F.2 and F.4, payment of Accrued Obligations and provision of Vested Benefits and valid claims for indemnification under Section G.5 of this Agreement) from the beginning of time to the date of termination.

6. Payment on Death. Executive may designate in writing (only on a form provided by the Bank and delivered by the Executive to the Bank before Executive’s death) primary and contingent beneficiaries to receive the balance of any payment under any of Sections F.1, F.2(a) or F.4 that are not made prior to the Executive’s death and the proportions in which such beneficiaries are to receive such payment. The total amount of the balance of such payment shall be paid to such beneficiaries in a single lump sum payment (not discounted to present value) made within ninety (90) days following Executive’s death. Executive may change beneficiary designations from time to time by completing and delivering additional such forms to the Bank. The last written beneficiary designation

- 10 -

delivered by Executive to the Bank prior to the Executive’s death will control. If Executive fails to designate a beneficiary in such manner, or if no designated beneficiary survives Executive, then Executive’s payment balance shall be paid to the Executive’s estate in an lump sum payment (not discounted to present value) within ninety (90) days following Executive’s death. The Company shall determine the timing of any payment within the ninety (90)-day period specified herein.

7. Regulatory Provisions.

(a) Compliance with Safety and Soundness Standards. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the total compensation paid out upon the departure of Executive be in excess of that considered by the FDIC or the California Department of Business Oversight—Division of Financial Institutions to be safe and sound at the time of such payment, taking into consideration all applicable laws, regulations, or other regulatory guidance. Any payments made to Executive, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with all applicable banking regulations, including, but not limited to, 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder. Executive agrees that should any payments that are made or benefits that are provided pursuant to this Agreement be considered unsafe or unsound or otherwise prohibited by applicable law, regulation or regulatory order, Executive agrees that he shall return or otherwise reimburse the Company for the amount of such prohibited payments or benefits to the maximum extent required by such law, regulation or regulatory order. Without limiting the foregoing, Executive agrees to promptly comply with any applicable rule or regulation which requires the return or reimbursement to the Company of any payments, benefits or other compensation, including, but not limited to, return or reimbursement in connection with any incentive compensation previously paid prior to the issuance of a financial restatement as required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and all regulations promulgated by any self-regulatory organization on which CVB’s common stock may then be listed. Without limiting the foregoing, Executive agrees that after the Effective Date, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under federal securities laws, the Executive shall return or reimburse the Company (whether or not Executive is then serving as a current executive officer of the Company) for any incentive-based compensation (including stock options or restricted stock awarded as compensation) during the 3-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, based on the erroneous data, in excess of what would have been paid to Executive under the accounting restatement.

(b) Suspension and Removal Orders. If Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Company’s affairs by notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)), the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Company shall (to the fullest extent permitted by law): (i) pay Executive the compensation withheld while its obligations under this Agreement were suspended, as though Executive was never suspended; and (ii) reinstate (in

- 11 -

whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended. If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Company’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) or (g)(1)), all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected.

(c) Termination by Default. If the Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1813(x)(1)), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected.

8. Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the total amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, together with all other payments to which Executive is entitled, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code), as amended, such payments shall be reduced to the largest amount which may be paid without any portion of such amount being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. Such reduction shall be made first to the payment specified in Section F.4(a) hereof (if applicable), applied equally among each of the installments thereof. In the event there is a dispute among the parties regarding the extent to which payments must be reduced pursuant to this Section, such dispute shall be settled in accordance with Section G.13 herein; no such disputed payment shall be made until the dispute is settled. Any payments, however, that are not in dispute, shall be paid promptly, as otherwise required.

9. No Duty to Mitigate; No Offset. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payments to Executive provided for under Sections F.1, F.2 and F.4 of this Agreement by seeking alternative employment during the periods for which such payments are paid. In addition, the Company shall not have any right to offset amounts earned by Executive following termination against any payments to be paid to Executive pursuant to Sections F.1, F.2 and F.4 of this Agreement in the event that Executive obtains other employment during the periods that such payments are being paid.

10. Withholding Taxes. The Company will withhold federal, state, local or foreign income taxes, FICA taxes, and any other applicable taxes from any and all payments made hereunder as required by applicable law.

11. Section 409A Compliance. The Company and Executive intend that any payments and benefits that may be provided under this Section F are to be exempt from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and U.S. Treasury guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”) so as not to result in the imposition of any tax, interest charge or other assessment, penalty or addition under Section 409A. In this regard, the following provisions shall apply to this Agreement.

(a) For purposes of determining the date on which any payment is to be made or benefit provided under this Agreement, references to “termination of

- 12 -

employment,” “employment terminates” and similar terms shall mean “separation from service” as defined for purposes of Section 409A. Any payments under Sections F.1, F.2 or F.4 shall be made or shall commence only after Executive has a “separation from service” with the Company as defined under Section 409A.

(b) Each payment provided under this Section F shall be treated as a separate “payment” (separate from any other payment from the Company to Executive, whether or not under this Agreement) for purposes of Section 409A. Neither the Company nor Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payment except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A.

(c) It is intended that each payment that may become due under Section F.2 will qualify and be treated as “disability pay” or “death benefits” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) to the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, if, as of the date of Executive’s separation from service with the Company, Executive is a “specified employee” (for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)), then each payment under this Section F that is considered to be a payment of non-qualified deferred compensation in connection with a separation from service with the Company that otherwise would have been payable at any time during the six-month period immediately following such separation from service shall not be paid prior to, and shall instead be payable in a lump sum as soon as practicable following, the expiration of such six-month period (or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death). This six-month delay shall not apply to any payment that is a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or “disability pay” or “death benefits” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5). Additionally, such six-month delay shall not apply to any payment if and to the maximum extent that such payment is deemed to be paid under a separation pay plan that does not provide for a deferral of compensation by reason of the application of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (relating to separation pay upon an involuntary separation from service). Any payment that qualifies for the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) must be paid no later than the last day of the second taxable year following the taxable year in which Employee’s separation from service occurs.

(e) In addition to any specific references to Section 409A in this Agreement, all terms and conditions of this Agreement are intended, and shall be interpreted and applied to the greatest extent possible in such manner as may be necessary, to exclude any compensation and benefits provided by this Agreement from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A or to comply with the provisions of Section 409A.

Executive acknowledges that all Confidential Information is and shall continue to be the exclusive property of the Company, whether or not prepared in whole or in part by Executive. Executive shall not disclose any of the aforesaid Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, under any circumstances or by any means, to third persons without the prior written consent of the Company, or use it in any way, except as required in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company.

2. Company’s Ownership in Executive’s Work. Executive agrees that all inventions, discoveries, improvements, trade secrets, formulae, techniques, processes, and know-how, whether or not patentable, and whether or not reduced to practice, that are conceived or developed during the Executive’s employment with the Company, either alone or jointly with others, if on the Company’s time, using the Company’s facilities, relating to the Company or to the banking industry shall be owned exclusively by the Company, and Executive hereby assigns to the Company all of the Executive’s right, title, and interest in all such intellectual property. Executive agrees that the Company shall be the sole owner of all domestic and foreign patents or other rights pertaining thereto, and further agrees to execute all documents that the Company reasonably determines to be necessary or convenient for use in applying for, prosecuting, perfecting, or enforcing patents or other intellectual property rights, including the execution of any assignments, patent applications, or other documents that the Company may reasonably request. This provision is intended to be applied consistent with applicable law.

3. Statutory Limitation on Assignment. Executive understands that the Company is hereby advising Executive that any provision in this Agreement requiring Executive to assign rights in any invention does not apply to an invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code. That Section provides as follows:

“(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies facilities, or trade secret information, except for those inventions that either:

(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or

(2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

- 14 -

(b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of the state and is unenforceable.”

By signing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that this paragraph shall constitute written notice of the provisions of Section 2870.

4. Covenant Not to Solicit Customers or Fellow Employees. If the Company or the Executive terminates this Agreement for any reason, including nonrenewal at the end of the Term, Executive agrees that, for the one (1) year period following termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall not use the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets to solicit the banking business of any customer with whom the Bank, CVB or a subsidiary bank is doing or has done business during the one (1) year period preceding such termination, use such confidential information or trade secrets to encourage any such customers to stop using the facilities or services of the Company, or use such confidential information or trade secrets to encourage any such customers to use the facilities or services of any competitor of the Company. Executive further agrees, during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company and for a one (1) year period following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, including nonrenewal at the end of the Term, not to solicit the services of any officer, employee or independent contractor of the Bank or CVB.

The covenants contained in this Section G.4 shall be considered as a series of separate covenants, one for each political subdivision of California, and one for each entity or individual with respect to whom solicitation is prohibited. Except as provided in the previous sentence, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in this Section G.4. If in any arbitration or judicial proceeding an arbitrator or a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that a provision of this Section G.4 or any such separate covenant or portion thereof, is determined to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provision shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable law. Executive hereby consents, to the extent Executive may lawfully do so, to the arbitral or judicial modification of this Agreement as described in this Section G.4.

- 15 -

5. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, applicable statutes, and the Articles, Bylaws and resolutions of the Bank and CVB in effect from time to time, as applicable, the Bank and CVB shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Executive from and against liability, claims or loss arising out of Executive’s service, actions or omissions concerning or relative to the performance of Executive’s duties, including, but not limited to judgments, penalties, taxes, fines, settlements and advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of actions, proceedings and appeals therefrom, except as otherwise required by law or regulation. The Bank’s and CVB’s respective obligations under this Section G.5 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing provisions, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification herein is expressly subject to the FDIC’s limitations on providing indemnification for civil monetary penalties.

6. Return of Documents. Executive expressly agrees that all manuals, documents, files, reports, studies, instruments or other materials used and/or developed by Executive during the Term are solely the property of the Company, and that Executive has no right, title or interest therein. Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive or Executive’s representative shall make every good-faith effort to deliver possession of all of said property to the Company in good condition, as promptly as possible.

7. Notices. Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be properly given when personally served in writing, when deposited in the United States mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom it is directed at the address listed below, or by facsimile, to the number specified below.

9. Captions and Paragraph Headings. Captions and paragraph headings used herein are for convenience only and are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in construing it.

10. Invalid Provisions. Should any provision of this Agreement for any reason be declared invalid, the validity and binding effect of any remaining portion shall not be affected, and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with said provision eliminated.

11. Entire Agreement. Except as provided below, this Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties concerning Executive’s employment with Company and Executive’s severance compensation upon termination of such employment. This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with respect to the employment of Executive by the Company and the termination of such employment, including, but not limited to, that certain Employment Agreement between Executive and Company dated September 16, 2009, provided, however that this Agreement does not supersede any stock option agreement, restricted stock agreement, deferred compensation plan or agreement, retirement plan or program, or COBRA rights under any health care plan or program under which Executive (or his beneficiaries) may be eligible to receive benefits. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein, and that no other agreement, statement, or promise

not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding. This Agreement may not be modified or amended by oral agreement, but only by an agreement in writing signed by an authorized representative of the Company and Executive.

12. Receipt of Agreement. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it or he has read this Agreement in its entirety and does hereby acknowledge receipt of a fully executed copy thereof. A fully executed copy shall be an original for all purposes, and is a duplicate original.

13. Arbitration. Executive and the Company agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive and the Company will submit all disputes arising under this Agreement or arising out of or related to Executive’s employment with or separation from the Bank and/or CVB, to final and binding arbitration in Ontario, California before an arbitrator associated with the American Arbitration Association, JAMS or other mutually agreeable alternative dispute resolution service. Included within this provision are any claims based on violation of local, state or federal law, such as claims for discrimination or civil rights violations under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, or similar statutes. If there is a dispute as to whether an issue or claim is arbitrable, the arbitrator will have the authority to resolve any such dispute, including claims as to fraud in the inducement or execution, or claims as to validity, construction, interpretation or enforceability.

The arbitrator selected shall have the authority to grant Executive or the Company or both all remedies otherwise available by law. The arbitrator will be selected from a neutral panel pursuant to the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association or similar rules of the selected service (“Rules of Selected Service”). Such rules can be obtained from the Bank’s Human Resources Department or from the applicable Selected Service’s website. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Rules of Selected Service Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules of Selected Service, however, the arbitration shall provide (i) for written discovery and depositions adequate to give the parties access to documents and witnesses that are essential to the dispute and (ii) for a written decision by the arbitrator that includes the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision is based. The arbitrator’s award shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties shall each bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in conducting the arbitration and, except in such disputes where Executive asserts a claim otherwise under a state of federal statute prohibiting discrimination in employment (“a Statutory Claim”), or unless required otherwise by applicable law, shall split equally the fees and administrative costs charged by the arbitrator and the applicable arbitration service. In disputes where Executive asserts a Statutory Claim against the Bank, or where otherwise required by law, Executive shall be required to pay only the applicable arbitration service filing fee to the extent such filing fee does not exceed the fee to file a complaint in state or federal court. The Company shall pay the balance of the arbitrator’s fees and administrative costs. To the extent permissible under the law, however, and following the arbitrator’s ruling on the matter, the arbitrator may rule

- 18 -

that the arbitrator’s fees and costs be distributed in an alternative manner. In any arbitration brought under this Section, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and costs. The arbitrator shall apply the same standard with respect to the awarding of fees and costs as would be awarded if such claim had been asserted in state or federal court. This mutual arbitration agreement does not prohibit or limit either the Executive’s or the Company’s right to seek equitable relief from a court, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, a temporary restraining order, or other interim or conservatory relief, pending the resolution of a dispute by arbitration. Accordingly, either party may seek provisional remedies pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 1281.8(b). There will be no right or authority for any claim subject to arbitration to be heard or arbitrated on a class or collective basis, as a private attorney general, or in a representative capacity on behalf of any other person or entity. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add to or to modify the terms described in this Paragraph, shall apply all applicable law, and shall have no lesser and no greater remedial authority than would a court of law resolving the same claim or controversy.

14. Applicability of Agreement. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by a person not a party to this Agreement (except as specifically provided in this Agreement).
